Chapter 511: Night Talk
"Forget it, let this Teacher Ma go to the Three Realms Supermarket in the evening, I still have some points in my hand, see what Teacher Ma wants most, you can help him buy it in the Three Realms Supermarket.
As for these children, they can help them with money, as long as it is a problem that can be solved with money, then it is really not a problem! ”
After thinking silently in his heart, Wang Fan came to a conclusion that only this may be the best at present.
"There are only more than 100 families left in this village, and there are only about a dozen families with school-age children like this, and if you don't count Haohao, there may be only eight or nine children, almost all of them are left-behind children, and their parents have gone out to work!"
Teacher Ma was silent for a moment when he said this, his eyes became dim, he was telling the truth, there are fewer and fewer people in the village, even if the village primary school is repaired, it is not of great use, because there are less than ten children in school.
Moreover, the parents of these ten children are not only working hard to create a better environment, so that the children can go out of this mountainous area in the future and settle down outside to study, so that there will be fewer and fewer people in the village primary school, so that in the end, there may only be one or two students left, and they should be unemployed.
"When these children are gone, I guess I should go out to work, in fact, I am still a private teacher, and my salary is paid by the town, if it weren't for these children, the school would have been cancelled a long time ago.
In fact, this school has slowly ceased to exist since then, because the children are too far away from home, and they may be better when they grow up! ”
Mr. Ma can only think about the benefits, but in fact, he himself doesn't know what to say, because he is a private teacher. Maybe when these children are gone, he won't be able to transfer to the town's primary school. Maybe not even 500 yuan a month in the future.
If his health is okay at that time, he plans to go out to work. I heard that doing things outside is thousands of dollars a month, and he can pay his salary for a year and a half a month a month!
The two of them walked and stopped like this, and then returned to the school, it was already dark, there was a house in the school that still showed a faint light, and the smell of rabbit meat filled the air, Teacher Ma greedily breathed a few breaths of the aroma, and then waved with a smile.
"Let's go, you're blessed today. There is rabbit meat to eat! ”
Wang Fan smiled slightly, followed into the house together, and saw Hao Hao and his father in the house looking at the rabbit meat in the pot greedily, and beckoned him to sit down.
"Wait a minute, I still have some marinated beef in my bag, I'll take some out. Can be used to make a hot pot! “
Wang Fan looked at the four or five people in the room, a pot of rabbit meat and a large pot of Chinese cabbage, and looked at the others. He doubted that the dishes were enough to eat, so he wanted to take some out of the space storage bag under the pretext that there was meat in the bag.
"Beef? That's the best thing to eat! You're actually carrying beef. Then we're in for a great deal today! ”
Haohao's father was pleasantly surprised, this beef is really not cheap now. It's not easy to buy in Shennongling, but he doesn't even dare to ask when he is in the field. Because it's too expensive, I can't afford to eat it at all, and I still remember eating beef many years ago, at least not in the last few years!
Wang Fan saw that everyone's interest was very high, and he estimated how much beef he could take out of his bag at most, and he took out more than ten catties of braised beef, and it was these beefs that made everyone happy all of a sudden, and the atmosphere in the room became warmer.
"I'm going to wash some radish, Mr. Ma is going to grab a big handful of chili peppers, I'll cook beef with radish today, I can see that there are a lot of fried tofu in your house, these can be cooked in hot pot, and Chinese cabbage can also be boiled and eaten!"
Haohao's father greeted Mr. Ma, he hurriedly got busy, made a big pot of beef hot pot with the pot at his cousin's house, and put red peppers, the fragrance of beef and rabbit meat filled the whole room, only to hear the sound of everyone swallowing saliva, and the sound of beef boiling, it was really beautiful!
When the meat was fragrant, everyone sat in a circle, and Mr. Ma took out two bottles of liquor.
"It's a guest from afar, there's nothing to entertain, this rabbit and this beef are all brought by yourself, I still borrow flowers to offer Buddha, please have a toast, everyone can eat as you like, the amount of food is enough!"
Teacher Ma raised his wine glass, Hao Hao had been greedy for rabbit meat for a long time, and when everyone was not paying attention, he quickly stretched out his chopsticks, didn't care about burning his mouth, and quickly ate a bite.
"It's so fragrant, it's so fragrant!"
Hao Hao's happy voice sounded, everyone raised their chopsticks, and the junior high school on the side just tasted the cabbage in front of him, and did not move the meat, which made Teacher Ma and Hao Hao's father can't help but take a second look, I didn't expect this junior high nine to be a real monk?
In fact, the ninth day of the first month has already stopped eating and drinking in the world, eating two bites of cabbage is just a cover-up, he is the spirit of the word, and he is not attractive to food at all.
Wang Fan looked at the people who were easily satisfied, his eyes glanced at Hao Hao, and saw that the dark blue on his face flashed again, which made Wang Fan frown slightly, but seeing that everyone was so happy, he didn't say anything.
Haohao's father and Teacher Ma both gobbled it up, and it could be seen that their usual life was very bitter, the liquor had almost no taste, and Wang Fan didn't like to drink it, but Haohao's father was with Teacher Ma, you and I drank a cup with relish.
While they were drinking, they talked about the length of their family, anecdotes about the village, and some news of the villagers who had gone out to work, and Wang Fan listened to them say that there were several villagers in the village who had returned to their hometowns on motorcycles this year.
"It's too difficult to buy tickets now, and they are all online tickets, but people like me who grab tickets there are not more money to buy high-priced tickets, and the cost of a trip home is too expensive, just hundreds or thousands of yuan, it is better to ride a motorcycle home, but people are tired and cold."
Haohao's father talked about the villagers who rode motorcycles, but he was very envious, because he went home a little earlier this year, if he entered the Spring Festival and luck, he could be anxious to buy a ticket, and a ticket would add a lot of money to the scalpers, and there might not be a seat, but at the end of the year, if he didn't go home to see, the child would be even more uneasy.
"Motorcycles are not safe, if the weather is bad, snow, rain and fog weather is more likely to have accidents, but I heard some people in the village say that some local gas stations give free refueling to those villagers who return to their hometowns, free refueling and hot water and food, which is still very humane, and there are still many good people in this world!"
Teacher Ma drank a little on his face, and his face was red after not drinking two sips, and they began to persuade Wang Fan to drink, but after seeing that Wang Fan refused to drink, the two of them said a word to each other, and they were happy!
What they said attracted Wang Fan's attention, he was in Jiangcheng, but he had never seen migrant workers returning to their hometowns on motorcycles, so listening to them, it is estimated that there is such a thing!
After more than ten hours of riding a motorcycle, or dozens of hours of wind and rain, the cold wind on the road and so many uncertain factors, safety is not guaranteed at all, but there are relatives waiting at home in the distance, waiting for the family to reunite, waiting for the people who go out to go home for the New Year.
It is this belief that supports those who return to their hometowns will insist, even if they use motorcycles, they will rush back day and night, just to go home for the New Year!
"In fact, it's not easy to be outside, and it's not easy for children to stay at home, but there is no condition to take them with you, and if it weren't for a teacher like you, it would be even more uneasy.
After I move to the county seat next year, I plan to work as a construction worker in the county seat, and as long as I can keep my family's living expenses and let my family go to school, I won't go out to work.
After working hard outside for a year, always waiting until the end of the year, many times I can't get the salary I deserve.
Speaking of which, today I want to thank Wang Fan, if he hadn't helped me get paid, how could we sit here and drink wine and eat meat, come, I'll toast you with a glass of wine! ”
Haohao's father shook his head when he talked about the situation of working outside, with a reluctant face, but if he didn't work, staying in this barren mountain village, if he just relied on farming, the family would not be able to support him, and he could only go out to try his luck, maybe there would be some opportunities.
"Yes, I'll wait until the students in this village are gone, I should also go out to work, this money really can't support me, my face is less than half of your sister-in-law's salary, she does cleaning, not tired and more than 2,000 a month, but it just doesn't include food and housing, otherwise you can save more money!"
Teacher Ma and Haohao's father were also at a loss when they talked about part-time jobs, their words made Wang Fan on the side feel sour, it was easy to make money by himself, I didn't expect this Shennongling to be so poor, really poor!
I have a lot of money, and I have never cared too much, now that I think about it, it really shouldn't be, others don't say that the money can change the fate of many people, and the money can only be used out, that is money, otherwise it is a pile of waste paper, or a string of data in the bank, which is meaningless at all.
The two drank and chatted more and more drunk, and Hao Hao on the side had already touched his stomach and yelled sleepy, Wang Fan put him on a temporary bed and fell asleep first, and he waited until Hao Hao's father and Teacher Ma were drunk, and then after lying on the bed and snoring, he cleaned up the mess and looked at the time/
"It's already more than ten o'clock, and when it's almost eleven o'clock, I'll still go back to work in the Three Realms Supermarket, and on the ninth day of the junior high school, you can bring Teacher Ma to the Three Realms Supermarket, and I can get him a supermarket membership card if Mulan is not there!"
Wang Fan thought for a while, looked at the three people who were obviously sleeping very deeply, and whispered to Chu Jiu, he planned to let Mr. Ma go to the Three Realms Supermarket to see what he wanted! (To be continued......)
