Chapter Seventy-Nine: Lunch
Bai Lingyan stretched out her right hand, smiled and said, "You take my small bag and parasol, I want to get rid of my baggage, travel lightly, and resolutely take you down." ”
Wu Xiaojun took it with both hands unceremoniously, and said with a smile, "You travel lightly, but I am under pressure to move forward, this is a strict and unfair competition, and you will take advantage of all the cheapness." ”
Bai Lingyan smiled and said, "Actually, this is fair, putting some pressure on you is to move closer to the woman, don't be wronged, from now on, whoever stops first will lose." Before Wu Xiaojun could speak, she was already walking in front.
Wu Xiaojun followed closely behind, watching her walk with an elegant expression, moving like a rabbit, quiet and leisurely, with light steps, Shanshan, looking back and smiling from time to time, handing a glimpse of burning and excited eyes, but also swaying, demeanor, proudly and proudly showing her vigorous physique, model-like figure and charming demeanor, it is really embarrassing and moving, can't help laughing, and thinking about it.
After walking for about ten minutes, Wu Xiaojun's heart was already pounding, panting, and said with a sad face, "White girl, you are a master, I voluntarily admit defeat, stop here, if this continues, my bones will fall apart, let's walk naturally." ”
Bai Lingyan said with a smile, "You know how powerful this girl is." ”
"Today is a thorough convincing of you, what I didn't expect is that you have walked such a long way in a day like no one, you have never shouted bitterness or tiredness along the way, and ordinary girls can't do it at all."
"This is the difference between people in the countryside and people who grew up in the city, and it is a great benefit to the body to participate in physical labor regularly. In the past, I used to go down to the fields to do crop work, go to the mountains to cut grass and collect firewood, and carry bundles and bundles home. Walking for me was neither a break nor a bone, it was a piece of cake. ”
"Counting on our fingers, today we walked seventy or eighty miles, climbed several mountain beams, visited more than a dozen villages, and came into contact with hundreds of people.
"I'm the same way, I feel that it's no longer just to meet people, to see the good or bad of the family situation, some hidden hidden things are more worthy of our attention and attention, maybe those are the things and gains we really want to get from participating in social practice activities."
"Along the way, except for some pity and sadness that touched the scene, there was no sorrow, trouble and loneliness, just because of the company of a beautiful and beautiful, shrewd and competent colleague like you, I felt happy and happy like never before."
"Whatever you say, you haven't disappointed me, the overall table can still get more than seventy points, of course, there is more room for effort, don't be complacent, continue to work hard, and I am willing to cooperate with you when I have the opportunity to work with you in the future."
Walking and talking along the way, it was nine o'clock in the evening when they returned to the room after dinner in the town, and the two of them were really tired, so they washed up briefly and fell asleep.
The town that slept all night, rushed to the market, and the villagers who did all kinds of business gathered here from all directions, which opened the prelude to its bustling and busy life. After a night's deep sleep and rest, the two were sleepy and tired, anxious to complete the task and return, and had no intention of wandering the streets and markets, browsing the characteristics and customs of the mountain town market, so they faced the morning breeze and withstood the drizzle, leaving the town and heading to Sunzhuang in the northeast.
The sky in the mountains is like a person for a while, like this and that, moody, saying that it will change, making people unpredictable, yesterday it was still a clear sky, the clouds were light and the wind was light, the heat was unbearable, this morning it was cloudy and misty, drizzling Feifei, cool and pleasant. The morning breeze was very cool, the two were in good spirits, and the mood was particularly comfortable, wandering between the countryside and the countryside, breathing the fresh smell of the fields, slowly appreciating the local cultural scenery, talking and laughing all the way, sprinkled with the laughter of the two.
The road is being widened and renovated, several machines are roaring, many road construction workers are busy excavating the roadbed, and fresh loess mounds and stones on both sides of the road can be seen everywhere, potholes, muddy, and quite difficult to walk. From time to time, the two of them need to pass lightly through the roadside farmland, and their shoes will be covered with mud after walking a short distance, Wu Xiaojun easily broke two half-meter-long poplar branches on the side of the road, and Bai Lingyan one by one, as a tool to remove the mud from the shoes, swaying leisurely, quite comfortable.
The two walked for nearly three hours in the search and search, and arrived at Sunzhuang Primary School, where several construction workers were building the school building, Wu Xiaojun walked up to a master and said, "Master, do you know where the principal works?" ”
It just so happened that a middle-aged man was carrying a satchel and pushing a bicycle outside, and when the master saw it, he hurriedly shouted, "Principal Wu, don't go yet, someone is looking for you." ”
As soon as Wu Xiaojun heard that it was the principal, he walked over directly and briefly explained the situation, Principal Wu turned around and took the two of them to the office, took out the "Hope Project Relief Certificates" of more than a dozen students, and happily introduced the situation one by one, and then said, "If you come a minute late, I will go to the town for a meeting." Most of these children are scattered in relatively remote ravines, and if every family walks, you won't be able to walk in a single day today. ”
Wu Xiaojun thought for a while and said with a smile, "Thank you, principal, for delaying your journey to the meeting, your introduction is quite detailed, which has reduced a lot of burden on the two of us, and there are still many students to visit, so we will no longer go to meet from house to house." ”
The two left Sunzhuang and walked into the valley crisscrossed by ravines, and it was noon at the next stop, Guling, and many people inquired about the villagers, and it took a lot of trouble to find the principal's house. The principal's house is really good, the gatehouse is tall, the two doors are painted brightly, the gate can go down a car, the new brick house is a big section higher than the surrounding neighbors, the special style blinking, the cement floor in the courtyard is smooth, the tiles in the house are paved, the roof decoration is chic, the wall is hung with the delicate Huangshan pine mural, there is a 21-inch large color TV and a cassette recorder on the red paint strip base, a floor fan is whirring, it is rare in the countryside, comparable to the people in the city.
The principal went to the town for a meeting and did not come back, and the principal's daughter-in-law and three children had just had lunch, and they were very enthusiastic when they saw the two of them coming to the house. The principal's daughter-in-law was about fifty years old, of medium stature, and although she was a rural woman, she had a very clean and neat temperament, like a person who often entertained visitors and had seen the world, and she asked her eldest daughter to go elsewhere to find a general affairs accountant, and she hurried to the kitchen to make a fire for the two of them to cook.
After a while, the school's general affairs accountant Zhang swaggered into the courtyard from the outside with a big belly and a pu fan, and shouted loudly as soon as he entered the door, "Sister-in-law Zhang, where are you, what is the matter with me at noon?" ”
Sister-in-law Zhang answered in the kitchen, "Accountant Zhang, two college students from Pingxi came from the county and said that they wanted to visit and investigate the situation of our school being rescued by the Hope Project. ”
Accountant Zhang laughed and said, "I thought it was something, I received a call from the town a few days ago, I have been waiting, I have never seen anyone, I came today, it doesn't matter, I fully cooperate." He walked inside.
Wu Xiaojun and Bai Lingyan hurriedly got up, the three of them met each other, Accountant Li sat on the chair, and said angrily, "You came here from the town, it rains, the mountains are high and the road is long, it is indeed difficult to be uncomfortable, it is very touching and admirable, we have no reason not to support and cooperate with your work." You eat first, and after the meal I will take you to each house for a walk. ”
Wu Xiaojun said, "Then there is Accountant Lao Zhang." ”
While talking, Sister-in-law Zhang brought over two bowls of porridge, a large plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes and a plate of sliced ham sausages, and a few steamed buns. After a few days of visiting various places, the two gradually got used to eating wherever they went, and when the other five locals sat on the sidelines and chatted with attention, they were no longer polite, and they drank soup and nibbled on steamed buns as if no one was around.
Wu Xiaojun usually eats faster than ordinary people, for this matter his father Wu Pingshun did not say much about him, and he usually pays more attention, especially when there are many people dining together, although he is anxious to solve the problem of what to do, but he still pretends to be patient and caters to the beat of everyone. I don't know if it's because I've been walking for a long time, hungry and empty, or carelessly turning a blind eye to other people around me, and my weaknesses are unconsciously exposed.
At first, the two of them didn't care, they bowed their heads and didn't say anything and just ate their own, but there was nothing, but soon the problem came out, the speed of Wu Xiaojun accelerated, and in less than ten minutes before and after, a bowl of soup was wiped out, and two fist-sized steamed buns had also quietly entered the stomach, and it was difficult to swallow it if they ate it again, so they had to put down the dishes and chopsticks. Suddenly found that something was wrong, Bai Lingyan lowered her head, there was still half a steamed bun in her hand, and there was more than half a bowl of soup in front of her, chewing slowly little by little with relish. When she raised her eyes, she saw that several people were looking at her with a smile, and she was anxious and embarrassed, and said why did she eat so slowly, and what was worth tasting and chewing.
It's nothing for two people to eat together at the same time in front of the living, and if one person gobbles up, it's a little indecent to stare at the other person in an instant. It's not an exaggeration to fall behind a young man in Wu Xiaojun at the end, this seems to be a matter of course, but it's different for Bai Lingyan, a girl's family, in front of everyone, showing her appearance alone, being watched like a monkey by others, it's really indecent and a little embarrassing.
Bai Lingyan saw that Wu Xiaojun had already run out, and sat quietly waiting for her, a little flustered and cramped, so she glanced at him and reproached him with a painful and unhappy expression on her face, "How can you be selfish, only care about yourself and others, you have to take care of me somewhat, wait for me slowly, this makes me embarrassed, embarrassed and unable to get off the stage." ”
Wu Xiaojun saw through her thoughts, the matter had come to this point, and it was irreparable, so he had to comfort him in a low voice, "It's nothing, ignore them, you just eat slowly." "I said so in my mouth, but in my heart I was secretly complaining that I didn't pay attention to my bad habits, I didn't know the rules and didn't have eyes, I didn't know how to take care of people, and I made mistakes that shouldn't be made in a foreign land, so that a girl could ride a tiger and be embarrassed in front of my fellow countrymen.
