It has been more than half a month since the wheat harvest ended in Yuanshan Village. Herbicides have been sprayed, and although people also need to endure some of the pollution hazards of modern agriculture, they no longer have to do boring and heavy physical tasks such as hoeing and stubble, and there are few busy figures in the whole field.

Fang Xinning still remembers that when she was in elementary school, Yuanshan Village Primary School still had wheat holidays and autumn vacations, and at that time, she also helped her sister and mother do some work in the fields. Although he had very few opportunities to cut wheat, he still felt unbearable when he thought of his backache, the sun he was exposed to, and the hot wind. Now, there are more and more harvesters and they are getting smarter, and he himself is busy teaching students and doesn't have much time to go home, so he really doesn't have to cut wheat anymore. But every time he thinks of those scenes of labor, a few lines of Bai Juyi's poems linger in his mind: "What merit do I have today, I used to be a farmer." There are 300 stones, and there is surplus grain in the year. I am ashamed to remember this, and I will never forget it. ”

Fang Xinning suddenly felt that he was becoming more and more accustomed to gratitude and self-reflection. Really, it can be said that every Chinese teacher is unconsciously deeply influenced by the texts in the textbooks, not so much teaching students as teaching themselves.

Fang's mother was busy drying wheat at home. Her trachea and heart were not in good condition, so she had to pour the wheat into a basket with a scoop, and carry it down a narrow and steep ladder to the roof of the bungalow. Fang's mother is obviously a little difficult to do these physical work, there is always endless breathing, although my sister can help a little, but after all, she still has her own mess.

Fang Xinning asked her mother to stop and rest for a while, and found a shorts vest to change into to do these rough jobs. When going to work, people are always serious, especially men, who cover themselves more tightly than women. Now this change of clothes is like suddenly becoming a free man, there is not a single joint in the body that is not easy, there is no skin that is uncomfortable, and every part is full of vitality.

Fang Xinning thought that on such a hot day, whether people are relaxed or not may be somewhat inversely proportional to the clothes on this body.

He wanted to dry the wheat, but Fang's mother wouldn't let him, and the two argued for a while. In order to show that he had this ability, Fang Xinning carried a whole bag of wheat and easily climbed to the roof of the bungalow. He spread the wheat and walked barefoot on it, turning it round and round with the soles of his feet, and the feeling was tickling and comfortable, even though the sun was scorching.

Fang's mother suddenly came out of the house and said to her son, "The phone is ringing. Fang Xinning said: "Mother, you can help me pick it up." Fang's mother took the phone and "hey" several times. Fang Xinning daxiao said to her mother: "Open the cover of the mobile phone." ”

"Your sister's phone is picked up and listened to, you are in trouble," Fang's mother turned on the phone and continued, "Hey, who's it?" Oh, Xiao Ji, come to the house to play, Auntie misses you, what? The computer thing......"

Fang Xinning guessed that Ji Meiting called, hurriedly jumped down from the bungalow, grabbed the mobile phone and said, "This is Meining Computer Company, who are you looking for?" Of course, Fang Xinning wanted to joke with Ji Meiting first.

"I'm Hongfei." The other party said.

Fang Xinning was stunned for a moment, knowing that he had made a mistake: "Are you talking about learning computers?" I've already signed up for you, in the Golden Giant, you remember the start of school, it's the 10th. ”

Hanging up the phone, Fang Xinning said: "Mother, you Xiaoji Xiaoji, who do I think it is." Fang's mother said, "Isn't it Xiao Ji?" The one who gave me a down jacket? That down jacket is so fresh, how can I wear it, let me send it to your sister. I've never been a person in a down jacket in my life, and I'm still wearing it myself. Fang Xinning said: "You are all old concepts. Besides, this Xiao Ji is not the one who gave you a down jacket, but the one who sent tweed. Fang's mother said, "That piece of cloth?" One moment you said it was given to you, and the other time you said you bought it yourself, I really don't know if I'm stupid or I'm stupid? Fang Xinning said: "Aren't I afraid that I won't understand it to you?" Fang's mother said: "You are already confused when you are a mother." That's what I wear, and I want to make a gown. Are they sisters? Fang Xinning said: "No, mother, you misunderstood." The one who called just now was my colleague, Ji Hongfei. Your future daughter-in-law is called Ji Meiting. Their surnames sounded the same, but they weren't a word at all. Fang Mu smiled and said, "I don't care about this and that, you don't want to step on two boats." Fang Xinning said: "Pedal two boats? How so? The two of them, one who works in our school, is my colleague; One works in the Propaganda Department of Xincheng City, and it is my girlfriend. I know what to do in my heart. Fang's mother said seriously: "It's okay if I misunderstood, but don't let people misunderstand." ”

After a while, Ji Meiting also called and asked about Fang Xinning going to Xin Cheng to learn computers. Fang Xinning explained that he had already signed up in Xin County. Ji Meiting said seriously: "Now is the electronic age, and this industry should have a future." You have to study hard. Fang Xinning said: "Your decision is always the greatest, the most correct. Ji Meiting said: "What about learning to drive? Fang Xinning said: "I'll go after learning the computer." Ji Meiting said: "You don't have a heart to report it, do you think you can learn if you want to?" In Xincheng, you have to queue up to sign up. This sentence has a smell of impatience.

But Fang Xinning was also very happy, thanks to not letting her mother answer the call, otherwise, she would definitely have to ask in the first sentence: "Which Xiaoji are you?" "How can I explain myself?

Except for some odd jobs at home, there was nothing serious, Fang Xinning stayed for another night and returned to the county seat.

In fact, Fang Xinning is a car fan, and he dreams of owning a car of his own - clothing is a woman's spirit, and a car is a man's toy. Fang Xinning also thinks that learning is good, as long as he works well in Taiyun, after a few years, there is always hope for buying a car to drive. He listened to Ji Meiting's words and went to a driving school for consultation.

A staff member asked, "Are you a teacher?" Touched the steering wheel? If you don't open the card, you will forget it, so it's better for you to come back later. "There is such an enrollment, and the students who come are still going out. Seeing that Fang Xinning didn't react, the man said again: "Then you wait for a while." Then he went out.

A coach van drove up, and a few people came down to the office here to drink water. One said, "Coach Wang, today I will be the east, and we will have a big meal together." The person known as Coach Wang did not speak, and several young people who followed him were happy, and said to the man, "Manager Xiexie Li." Coach Wang then ordered: "Manager Li is busy, let's let him get in the car more today." The young people said yes.

Manager Li looked even more invincible, and staggered over to ask Fang Xinning: "Come to learn to drive?" Fang Xinning nodded. Manager Li squinted his eyes and asked, "What kind of work?" Fang Xinning replied seriously: "I am a teacher." ”

A few people next to him whispered on the side.

"Over the years, all the teachers have come to learn to drive."

"Who did the teacher learn to drive? Can you afford it yourself? ”

"In my dreams, there are also people who are very poor and come here to have fun."

"Don't say it, the teacher's salary is quite high now, and I heard that the teachers in the aristocratic school earn a lot of money, isn't there a Taiyun school in our Xin County?"

"I've heard that teachers in universities make a lot of money, but this one doesn't look like this."

"Teachers all over the world are the same, and when they have more money, they are also small. If you go to the mall, there are always two types of people, men and teachers, most of the men buy things at a low price, and those who are calculating must be teachers, regardless of men and women. ”

Fang Xinning stood alone in the corner of the office, her teeth trembling with anger, and she couldn't wait to sweep these guys who didn't guard the door with a pair of iron fists. A people's teacher, in the eyes of these people, is this kind of image?

A group of people talked around for a while, then got into the car and walked away as if nothing had happened.

After a while, the teacher who had just received him came back and said, "I'm really sorry, there are too many college students learning to drive during the holidays, and there are still many unarranged." Why don't you arrange for you to go to the first half of next year? From his tone, it can be heard that there is no room for negotiation in this matter, it is just to give Fang Xinning a chance to step down. Just now, Fang Xinning thought in his heart, if this family doesn't succeed, find another one; But now, he was so hurt that he had no emotions at all.

The car didn't learn, and I was angry and ate a full stomach.

On the same day, Fang Xinning returned home and vowed never to enter the driving school again.
