CHAPTER XIV

Time flies, Yuequan has been in this town for three years, she eats well, wears warmly, her face is unfolded, and she will pour a piece of dirt makeup when she takes off her makeup, and her mother-in-law often stares at Yuequan's face and shakes her head and sighs, muttering words that Yuequan doesn't understand.

However, it can be roughly guessed that if it were not for that accident, the daughter of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites would marry a non-rich and noble, where would she go to this poor country and be a undignified master.

As time went by, Lu Xiao only had a few letters, and his mother-in-law said that he was becoming more and more unconscientious, but Yuequan didn't think so, and the decrease in letters proved that the farther he went, the stronger his adaptability became, and he would be able to take charge on his own in a few years. It can also be seen from the content of the letter that it is a good start to complain that the Taoist chief does not know the world, and finally becomes vaguely admired and admired.

The stubborn little boy began to grow up.

Nowadays, the school is no longer the original school, with the support of the whole town, the school has expanded four classrooms, added a football field and a sand pit in the front yard, and the backyard fence is blocked to prevent the wild beasts in the mountains from going down the mountain to disturb the students, the textbooks and seats are all available, the doors and windows are pressed, and they are no longer bullied in the cold winter, and the children have long been able to memorize the "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Names", "Arithmetic" and so on.

Yuequan has a very high reputation in the town, and every major meeting must have Yuequan participate in decision-making, and even Chen Qian, the first talent in the town, does not enjoy this treatment, which often makes him jealous, but what can he do? The students he taught couldn't be compared with the students taught by Yuequan, and he lost miserably in the exchange competition a few days ago.

Speaking of which, he still hasn't figured out why he spends more time teaching than her, but his grades are always better than those of students who are not taught by her.

"Shi'er, there is a market tomorrow, just on vacation to accompany my mother-in-law into the city to buy oil, salt, sauce and vinegar!"

Yuequan, who was correcting the homework, stopped the work in his hand and hurriedly agreed, "Okay, mother-in-law"

"Shi'er, what do you like to eat?"

The days are getting better and better, but the mother-in-law's body is getting worse day by day, the back hurts at every turn, the hands and feet are numb, this is not a good sign, Yuequan took the broom in the mother-in-law's hand, and scolded "Mother-in-law, didn't I tell you that I will do these things, you rest and rest." ”

Mother-in-law shook her head, "Shi'er, mother-in-law, I am a hard worker, and if I don't let me do things, I will feel uncomfortable." ”

Yuequan understands that it is impossible for people who have worked all their lives to stop and enjoy happiness, and once they stop, they are easy to get sick, she sighed slightly, "But you are not allowed to do heavy work"

"Good"

……

The old people in the town said that the harvest Niangniang Festival is also a rare market day in ten years, also known as the temple fair, and the market is fixed in the avenue in front of the temple in the harvest Niang year. This year, there is plenty of rain and a bumper harvest in various places, and farmers have to go to the Harvest Niangniang Temple to make a wish, or pray for a good harvest next year.

After eating lunch and taking a nap for half an hour, the confused Yuequan was woken up by her mother-in-law, "It's time, it's time to go to class"

Rubbing his eyes and yawning in a daze, Yuequan strolled forward with his schoolbag, meeting many students on the way, greeting each other, and going to school at the same time.

Today, unlike three years ago, when there were only 10 students, the school has expanded by four classrooms and increased the number of students by 40, the number of students in the third grade is still ten, the second year is thirteen, and the first year is up to seventeen. Most of the students in the first and second grades are not from the town, but from the city, and they are excellent in moral cultivation and knowledge.

Two days before the exam, someone had already lined up, which caused Yuequan a headache, not that she wanted to embarrass the group of parents, but that there were too many people, and she had no choice, so she could only let them do what they liked, as long as there was no chaos, the number of places in the exam was only one hundred, and it would not be ranked next year!

The number of personnel has increased, but the master has not increased, it's not that she didn't invite, hired with a high salary, and no one dared to come, there is such a top master, and it is also a female master, they shake their heads and feel ashamed!

She can't take care of so many people, and it's divided into grades, and if she doesn't arrange a master, she's going to be tired to death. No way, strike, she visits the mayor's house every day, sits on the stone pier with tea, chats with nearby villagers, and is happy......

The mayor also had a headache, there was no way to hide, and he knew her hard work, so he arranged for his two disciples to give her, and with a new master, Yuequan was able to be free and stroll to school, not like the previous war, in a hurry, there were many wrong things, and there were constant jokes.

There is no big class at noon, tomorrow the temple fair, she thinks they can't read books, instead of cramming education, it is better to let them relax and relax, a rare temple fair, it is good to join in the fun. Yuequan asked all the students to carry stools and sit in line according to the class seats, and when it was over, Yuequan went to the podium, and the students stood up and bent down respectfully, and said loudly, "Hello Master"

"Hello students"

Motioning for the students to sit down, standing on the podium, looking at the immature faces, she had a sense of pride in being a teacher.

"Tomorrow's temple fair, don't run around, follow the adults, understand? Carriages and horses are not allowed to make noise, pay attention to give way...... "There were few traffickers in ancient times, less does not mean that there are none, and safety knowledge still needs to be taught."

"Yes, Master"

"The sun is good today, how was the tug-of-war?"

"yes, good"

"The loser sweeps the land for a month."

"Ahh Don't" the younger students mourned.

"All on"

"Ahh Don't" This time it was the turn of the third graders to cry out, there were only ten of them, there were thirteen in the second grade, and seventeen more in the first grade.

How can this be compared!

"Are you afraid?" Yuequan said lightly

"We are not afraid" is full of enthusiasm and passion, and this method of agitation can anger the third-grade students.

The people in the upper grades are very passionate, but the students in the lower grades don't admit defeat, and you come and I have a war of words, and it almost starts.

"......" Yuequan was full of black lines and the two masters looked at each other, and suddenly Yuequan regretted that sentence, which was too exciting.

The rules of the tug-of-war game are very simple, draw two parallel straight lines on the ground for the river boundary, and two teams with equal numbers hold one end of the rope on both sides of the river boundary.

Lighting incense, the first and second grades started first, the bamboo whistle blew, the two teams used their strength to pull back, and the nearby farming villagers heard the sound and put down their farm tools to watch, shouting and cheering, cheering, and cheering. Speaking of cheering, there was no such word before, Hou Yuequan explained, the students accepted the word slowly into the town, once there is a game, the villagers will come to watch, shouting each other's names to cheer on.

There are more and more people, more and more people are shouting and cheering, people are watching energetically, the students are tense, their veins are bursting, they are gritting their teeth, holding their breath and pulling and pulling, neither of the two teams is convinced, and the last grade won with the majority of people.

Some are happy and some are sad.

Yuequan walked out of the crowd and touched his crying nose, and the student said, "Friendship first, competition second, don't be afraid if you lose this time, there will be next time." ”

They nodded one after another, wiped away their tears and said loudly, "Next time we will win"

Winning the glory and losing are also glorious, and everyone applauded and shouted to the second-grade students.

Let the first-grade students rest for half an hour, the first-grade and third-grade competition kicked off in the bamboo whistle, the third-grade people are few but the strength is not small, a stick of incense burns out, the third-grade students win, and at the same time lie down, everyone lies on the ground gasping for breath, and smiles at the sky.

At the end of the competition, the second-grade students took the initiative to pick up the broom and rag to do hygiene, and the hygiene was quickly done.

When I returned home, my mother-in-law had already prepared a hot meal, washed her hands and eaten, and after the meal, the two sat in the moonlight and shook a fan to cool off.

"Is my mother-in-law homesick?" The mother-in-law shook her head, she was alone, and this was already her home.

"But I miss home" She misses her parents very much, and she thinks about everything in modern times, and the more chaotic her heart becomes, the heart of going home is like an arrow and has to be sent. But she didn't go back, she was not on Earth in an inexplicable time and space, and she deliberately suppressed it before and deliberately didn't think about it. Now there is a beginning, Yuequan tears gushed out like spring water, stubbornly biting her mouth to prevent the cry from overflowing her small mouth, and her whole body was tense and suppressed.

The mother-in-law sighed, hugged Yuequan and gently patted her back, muttering, "Cry!" Cry! Just cry out. ”

Crying and crying I don't know when I fell asleep, my mother-in-law couldn't hold Yuequan, then the eldest sister next door passed by, and my mother-in-law asked her to help carry Yuequan into the house and put it on the bed mat, and my mother-in-law hurriedly thanked her, "Thank you, sister." ”

The eldest sister next door asked curiously, "Master, what's wrong?" ”

The mother-in-law shook her head and motioned for the eldest sister to go out to chat, so as not to disturb Yuequan's rest.

"It's a hard life! I miss my father. ”

Suddenly, the eldest sister next door remembered that Yuequan was only a teenager, and she was mature and stable on weekdays, and she didn't treat her as a girl, but now the pear blossom with rain and Chu Chu's pitiful appearance suddenly reminded her of her daughter who was twenty, I don't know how her daughter is now, she married too far, and she has never come back since the moment she got married.

Each family has its own ups and downs, and she can't manage this kind of thing, so she can only sigh, "Sister, take good care of the master, remember to find me if there is anything." ”

The mother-in-law nodded and sent the eldest sister next door away, closed the door, bolted tightly, sat on the edge of the bed and gently wiped the tears from the corners of Yuequan's eyes with her rough fingers, frowning and worried, she is old, gone, Shi'er is still young, the road is still very long, what should she do in the future?

Before dawn, the farmers get up early and go into the city with baskets, Yuequan does not do farming, at most the backyard grows some vegetables, only enough for a family to eat, there is nothing left, even if there is a surplus, it can't be sold much, why bother to squeeze.

Therefore, she is the latest to go out, carrying a bamboo basket, her mother-in-law's health is not as good as before, she needs to use crutches to go out, her steps are slow, and Yuequan is not in a hurry.

Crossing the mountains and entering the city, the city is full of flowers, overcrowded, every step has to be crowded, the mother-in-law is old, and Yuequan is not good for her to squeeze, let her go to the bean flower shop to rest. The proprietress of the bean flower shop and Yuequan are in the same town, her grandson is studying in the Yuequan School, the two are also familiar, knowing that today's harvest Niangniang Festival, there are many people, Yuequan has not mentioned it, she said, "Master, the eldest sister is resting with me, you go and get busy!" ”

Yuequan hurriedly thanked him, and took out ten copper coins to his mother-in-law, "Mother-in-law, I know that you have money on you, and you have more money for self-defense, remember to tell the proprietress when you are hungry and thirsty, I will go buy and buy and come back soon." ”

"Go ahead!"

Yuequan left, the idle mother-in-law saw that there were many diners in the bean curd shop, and the boss and the lady were not enough, so she rolled up her sleeves and cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks on the table with her hands and feet, and the boss smiled gratefully, and they wrote down this love. Happy Mid-Autumn Festival ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------!
