Back in the dormitory, Fang Xinning lay down on the bed, quietly not wanting to move, he was really hungry, so he took out a few peanuts and put them in his mouth to chew. He always felt that something was bothering him.

His dormitory is located in the old campus in the middle of the town, and after the school built a new teaching building and moved, these bungalows that were originally used as classrooms were divided into single rooms and used as dormitories for teachers. In his room, half of the gable on one side was heavily soaked by rainwater, and the moldy color changed from light gray to dark black, like a map that had not been drawn carefully enough. During the rainy season, there are also leaks on the roof, so you have to prepare pots and cans to catch the droplets that fall from time to time. When it rains, there is a ding, there is a knock, so that you can save loneliness, no wonder Du Zimei once called for "tens of millions of mansions, shelter the world's poor people".

The most interesting thing is this old wooden bed, when you gasp, it reacts, and as soon as you turn over, it squeaks. Idle, rocking, but also at ease. But don't be annoyed, the more annoyed you are, the more unbearable it will be. One of the legs of the bed was patched up later, and the new wood, matched with the gray and old bed, was somewhat eye-catching.

At this time, the door of the dormitory was pushed open with a "creak".

Fang Xinning didn't bother to open his eyes, presumably because the card game next door was short of manpower, and Liu Shu came to ask him to patch again. He hates playing cards, and after a lap or two, he may still be a little interested, but after five or six laps, his mind is in a mess. Especially a dozen hours, so much time is wasted. He defined them: people who happily drain their lives in the muddy of winning and losing. He persuaded Liu Shu, but he couldn't.

Today, Fang Xinning's mood is different from the past, he always feels that something is going to happen, so he doesn't want to pay attention to him, and the word "don't go" has already come to his lips.

"Teacher." The beautiful voice of the child came in through the half-open door. He hurriedly stood up and saw his student He Lihua poking his head in.

He Lihua is the youngest daughter of the party secretary of Hejiadian Village, where the school is located. Xin County has a folk proverb: "The boss hurts, the old Sanjiao is a gas bag in the middle." She is the most beloved little daughter in the family, and she is the pearl of the branch secretary.

But Fang Xinning wondered, how did she know that she lived here? Maybe Fang Xinning is still a little weak about his material conditions, and now that He Lihua has discovered this humble residence, it is equivalent to his shortcomings being exposed to the world, and he blushed unconsciously. Yes, every day I tell students how to speak more decently, but in the face of He Lihua's unexpected visit, he, a Chinese teacher, was speechless for a while.

He Lihua said, "Teacher, do you really live here?" I still wonder if my dad lied to me. My house is just outside the walls of your courtyard, and the two-story building around the corner is. I've been here many times, and it's the first time I've seen you. Fang Xinning said, "Oh. He Lihua said: "Teacher, what are the essay topics we assign during the holidays?" Fang Xinning smiled, feeling that He Lihua was obviously joking: "You are the representative of the language department...... He Lihua said: "Yes, so I'm afraid I will remember it wrong." Actually, I've written it all, hehe. She laughed proudly. Fang Xinning reluctantly replied: "The representative of the section is the representative of the section." ”

He Lihua didn't know where to say so much, and she didn't pay attention to what was going on in other people's hearts. Yes, teenagers don't know what it's like to be sad, how can a simple child pay attention to an adult's thoughts? She talked a lot about their family, and she was happy and happy, and her unrestrained appearance made him laugh.

Fang Xinning thought of the fact that he secretly applied for the job, and felt that he was about to part with He Lihua, worried that he would miss out if he said too much, so he simply became the most qualified listener, listened patiently, and nodded from time to time.

Speechless for a while.

After He Lihua finished looking at the house, she suddenly interrupted the silence: "Teacher, will you come to our house to play?" I've been buying a lot of books lately. Fang Xinning felt more and more that it was very wrong to be alone with a little girl, and when the rumors about male teachers and female students were flourishing, she persuaded her: "Lihua, you better go home quickly, your mother won't find you in a hurry for a while." He Lihua said: "My mother knows that I went to play with my classmates, so she is not in a hurry." ”

Fang Xinning, who had no choice but to give an eviction order: "I'm ...... Something......"

He Lihua was always very obedient and said, "Teacher, I'll come to you again tomorrow, call He Qiang and He Miao." Without waiting for Fang Xinning to agree or refuse, she walked out.

Fang Xinning sent her outside the door.

Rika went out the door, smiling all the way, turning around and waving from time to time. Fang Xinning looked at her innocent appearance, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head: he was getting farther and farther away from this carefree childhood life.

There were a few people standing in the distance, looking east and west. Fang Xinning thought it was a relative of a neighbor, and just wanted to step forward to ask, but found that one of them was actually his girlfriend Ji Meiting.

God, Fang Xinning was shocked: in the past four years, I have met her in Xinxian County or Xincheng City, and I have never dared to let her come here. How did she find here?

"Xinning," Ji Meiting also saw him, "I was worried just now that it would be 'Hermit Seeker Miss' today." ”

Fang Xinning greeted him very unnaturally.

Ji Meiting pointed to her female companion and introduced: "This is the section chief of the Propaganda Department of Xincheng City, and an alumnus of our Normal University. ”

Section Chief Fang came over to shake hands: "Hello, just call me Fang Li." Oh, it's more handsome than I imagined, after all, it's a young man from our Fang family, you must work hard, persistence is victory, I support you. ”

When Ji Meiting heard this, she clapped her hands happily, like a child.

Fang Li said to Ji Meiting: "It's hard to meet, let's talk, I just have to go do something, and I'll pick you up later." Ji Meiting understood what she meant, looked at Section Chief Fang gratefully, and sent her to go first.

Fang Li added: "Talk to people well, ah." ”

Ji Meiting let out an embarrassed "um".

Seeing that the car had gone away, Ji Meiting went to the dormitory by herself. Looking around, she asked, "Is this really where you live?" Fang Xinning came back to his senses, he really couldn't avoid it, and hurriedly said, "Oh, the temporary dormitory." Ji Meiting asked: "It's been a few years, and it's temporary?" Moving now? Fang Xinning said: "I will not live here for the rest of my life." How did you find this place? Don't make a phone call first. Ji Meiting said: "We had an interview, and when we arrived in Black Mountain Town, we inquired about it. I also think you might not be there during the holidays. By the way, I will also tell you the news, the newspaper is going to recruit this year, you go and apply for a name. Sister Fang also said just now, this is a good opportunity. Fang Xinning said: "Newspaper? "Xinxian Daily" has stopped, is "Xincheng Daily" still far away? Ji Meiting disagreed: "It's just that the newspaper office is really gone, don't you have to arrange a place to eat for you?" ”

Fang Xinning was thinking about a suitable reason in his heart, but he said, "Actually, I already have a new plan...... ...... in a few days. Ji Meiting asked impatiently: "How many days will it be?" Ten days, twenty days, you give an accurate number, okay? Your character, I thought of a name for you, called 'Boy', and that 'otaku' has a fight, what will only "struggle", "rely on", "wait". I can't wait for anything, Shao Yunzhe, now he has become a deputy bureau, Cheng Wei has only been running a computer for three or four years, and he drives a car everywhere every day, that is the 'excellent man' family. It's like you, a few days and a few days, it's easy to say, but it's been four years, you give me the math, how many days is four years. ”

"Everyone has his own ambitions." Fang Xinning snorted, but her confidence was indeed dissipating, especially when she compared herself with her classmates, it was like a shot hitting his vital point.

Ji Meiting looked at his uncomfortable appearance and said, "I'm sorry, I don't want to hurt anyone......"

Fang Xinning was reminded by her that Cheng Weilai, an old classmate who was tall and often had a hippie smile.

In Fang Xinning's eyes, Cheng Wei is a master who makes some very "low-grade" jokes, for example, when he introduces himself, he always likes to say: "Cheng Biting Jin's 'Cheng', Viagra's 'Wei', is not the 'impotence' of impotence." Sometimes, he would suddenly ask his classmates, "Is your mouth big or small?" No matter what his classmates said they were talking about, he had already prepared the next sentence: "That's for sure." Then smugly hahadaxiao walked away, leaving the person who had fallen into the trap to stand there and blame himself for such a bastard thing.

He also often has a lot of "knowledge" that is not in the stream, such as discussing with others what Li Bai's son is called. He will say seriously: "I also came to a conclusion after many years of research, I don't say it to ordinary people, I just tell you, remember, it's called Ziyan." After that, he was like an expert scholar and explained it to others.

is such a person, and now he is mixing very well, which makes Ji Meiting hang up, do you say there is still heavenly reason? Say he's a "good man"? It's better to say that he is a "male actor".

Fang Xinning decisively changed the subject: "Who are you interviewing?" Ji Meiting said: "Yang Xiangbei is also a teacher. Prepare for Teacher's Day publicity. Before I came, I heard how good he was, and when I got to their house, I thought of you. How poor is his family? You can't imagine it, it's really a piece of chalk, two sleeves with a breeze, a three-foot podium, and empty walls. The daughter-in-law who was in her thirties died of illness shortly after giving birth, and no one wanted to come to this house in the future. has a daughter named Yang Qun, who is only in elementary school, and a seventy or eighty-year-old woman, a family of three crammed into two small dilapidated houses. Fang Xinning asked: "Just to promote his poverty and whiteness?" Ji Meiting said: "Teacher Yang has a good heart, and when students are in difficulty, he often helps others with seven or eight pieces. Think about it, he is a substitute teacher, he can't open a few dollars a month, and he doesn't have much savings, so he just wants to help people how much he can help? The extra income was odd jobs for his cousin's construction team on holidays. Now his salary is higher, but he is so charitable that he can't get the money back home. I really admire my mother's words, don't be a teacher after graduating from college, don't be a teacher, don't go to primary and secondary schools, and don't go to the countryside when you get to primary and secondary schools......"

Fang Xinning's face was embarrassed: "I know, you also missed a sentence: Don't teach Chinese when you go to the countryside, right?" He's just a special case. ”

Ji Meiting felt that Fang Xinning was really angry, and it was no longer interesting to say this, so she asked, "Who is the little girl who went out of your house just now?" Fang Xinning said: "A student." Ji Meiting made a very strange look: "Female student? Fang Xinning felt that she had pronounced the word "female" too much, and said dissatisfiedly: "Ah, what do you want? Ji Meiting said: "I'll just say it casually, why are you so nervous?" ”

Fang Xinning sighed in his heart: Alas, Ji Meiting, Ji Meiting, Ji Meiting, who I have been thinking about for a long time, when I meet, you will only make my heart more uneasy. Maybe it's because of the long-term separation, but now she has less intimacy and more rustiness, even if she says something caring, she is so reluctant.

A woman's heart, who can guess it?

As for the application, the word "eight" has not been skimmed yet, so don't tell her!
