Chapter Seventy-Seven: Lunch (for the widow and the widow)
There is no cafeteria in the night school, and during the lunch break, most of the students eat the dry food they bring with them in the classroom, reading and writing while eating, and the learning atmosphere is very strong.
Zhou Xiao'an observed it in the morning, there is a garden behind the small white building, it should have been no one to take care of it for a few years, the grass and trees have been cut down in a mess, several large tree stumps are obviously very old trees, and the shape of the flower bed is also very chic, but now it is very deserted and desolate.
A spot in the middle of the garden was clearly cleared, bare and nothing growing, except for a few things that resembled yellow clay stoves more than two meters high.
Zhou Xiaoan circled around twice, and it took a long time to figure out that this might be the small blast furnace that was made during the legendary steelmaking. And those ancient trees that were cut down are most likely used to make steel.
Everyone was studying in the classroom, and no one came to this deserted small garden, which was just convenient for Zhou Xiaoan.
Her classmates were all eating bran dumplings, and she couldn't take out white bread to eat in public.
She found a place to the leeward of the sun, a large sundial with a broken bracket, and a piece of marble the size of a millstone was placed on the ground, just enough for her to sit down.
Zhou Xiaoan was eager to study, and while nibbling on buns, he was chattering on his legs and practicing calligraphy.
"Write short and horizontal, not flat, shoulder slightly raised, pen up."
"Write long and horizontal, look at it, and seek stability from zero to five degrees."
……
In fact, there is no shortcut to practicing calligraphy, and you can only start practicing from the most basic horizontal and vertical skimming, which is a very boring and hard thing.
Zhou Xiaoan's mind was full of horizontal and vertical verticals, and all his attention was on his hands, until a smiling voice sounded from his side, "Work so hard!" Han Xiaoshuang. ”
Zhou Xiaoan's whole person was so nervous that he froze, his neck slowly twisted little by little like a robot with rusty bearings, and he saw Pan Mingyuan's smiling Danfeng eyes.
Tall and thin figure, a crisp gray wool tunic with two straight trouser lines on the pants.
In this era when most people wear pants with a big bag on their knees, it seems that whenever they see him, he is always this neat and graceful look.
But unlike the temperament of today's intellectuals, he always brings a little carelessness, I don't know why, Zhou Xiaoan just thinks that even when he smiles very brightly, there is no warmth in his eyes.
Zhou Xiaoan tried hard to swallow the bun in his mouth, slowly moving his butt around the corona little by little, trying to avoid Pan Mingyuan's sight at a speed that was not easy to find, and turned his back to him, so as to replace the lunch box in his hand, which was a white-faced meat bun!
Or is it steaming......
Fortunately, she has been vigilant all the time, and she also covers it with a lunch box lid when she eats, otherwise she will definitely have to let him see it!
Pan Mingyuan looked at Zhou Xiaoan's movements, smiled and didn't speak, she moved a little, and he followed patiently.
Zhou Xiaoan was too nervous, moved for a long time, and half of the sundial was about to be finished, only to find that Pan Mingyuan was still following her!
Zhou Xiaoan turned his head and glared fiercely at this guy who had no eyesight and was rude and uncultivated, so he simply didn't do anything, turned around sharply, and gave him the back of his head.
Pan Mingyuan didn't chase this time, sat on the sundial with his back to Zhou Xiao'an, and sighed very leisurely, "It's just right for this place to bask in the sun!" Sheltered and warm! ”
Zhou Xiaoan quickly replaced the buns in the lunch box with the bran dumplings brought by Zhou Xiaoquan yesterday morning, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"Can you get the sun over there?" Pan Mingyuan's voice with a smile sounded again, "It's better to choose the place you just chose, the sun is warm on your face." ”
Zhou Xiaoan gritted his teeth, if he hadn't seen people hiding from him and hadn't followed politely, would she have given up a good place for him to sit?!
"Are you really not going to turn around? I can sit for you here. Pan Mingyuan moved and poked his head to look at Zhou Xiaoan.
Zhou Xiaoan moved awkwardly to the side again, always feeling that this person was talking to her in a tone like teasing a puppy.
But she ran away the day before yesterday and was very rude, today he talked to her regardless of his previous suspicions, politeness and upbringing made her unable to do anything too much, so she had to mumble in a low voice, "Thank you, no need, I'll sit here and dry my back." ”
Pan Mingyuan snorted and laughed, and even chased her and sat down again, "Then I'll also dry my back." ”
Zhou Xiaoan packed her lunch box and was about to leave, she couldn't hide from it, so she still ran away without backbone......
Pan Mingyuan suddenly reached out and pressed her lunch box, "Didn't you finish lunch?" Why are you leaving? ”
"I, I'm full, I'm not eating." Zhou Xiao'an reflexively repulsed the sudden approach of the stranger, and he didn't care about his lunch box, so he stood up and took two steps back, although he tried his best to calm down, he couldn't help but stutter.
Pan Mingyuan took Zhou Xiaoan's old aluminum lunch box and looked at it carefully as if he were studying a work of art.
Zhou Xiaoan noticed that his hand holding the lunch box was slender and lush, fair and delicate than many women, and like his people, there was an incompatible atmosphere with the world around him.
"What's your lunch?" I just saw that you were eating deliciously. Pan Mingyuan opened the lunch box with interest and saw two black bran dumplings inside.
One whole, one half-scattered, it is easier to see the chaff and dry dead leaves inside, as if there are some grass roots, and a musty and sour smell of chaff bark rushes to the nose.
Pan Mingyuan understood why the child didn't eat in the classroom, and he also knew why she was avoiding him just now.
Now that the food shortage has reached an unprecedented level, no matter how difficult it is, there will be a little cornmeal in the bran dumplings that everyone brings to school to eat in front of their classmates, at least they can be formed in their hands.
But the two in the lunch box obviously had no food at all, and they dispersed without touching it.
This kid can't stand his self-esteem, right?
So study hard, it can be seen that you are strong, of course, you don't want people to see such an embarrassment.
Pan Mingyuan cleared his throat, a little annoyed by the fact that his hand was fast just now, ordinary children with strong self-esteem can't accept this kind of face-to-face exposure, they may be annoyed and angry, and they will avoid him even more in the future.
"Why didn't you look for me last time? Do you still want to find Zhou Zhenxing? Pan Mingyuan covered the lunch box casually, but did not hand it over to Zhou Xiaoan.
Zhou Xiaoan was attracted by his words, "Find!" Do you have any news of him? ”
Pan Mingyuan smiled, "What are you looking for him?" Still worried about returning his cornmeal? ”
Zhou Xiaoan nodded stiffly, "A few catties, he must be in a hurry." ”
Pan Mingyuan patted the position beside him, "Let's eat together!" While eating, I said that I didn't have lunch either, and if I didn't eat again, it would be too late for class. ”
