On a summer afternoon, there was not a single cloud in the sky, a scorching sun overhead, not a trace of wind, and all the trees stood listlessly and lazily.

Fang Monan slept soundly, and an hour later, he was woken up by his aunt. "Wake up, it's fine, I'll send you to grandma, I want it, hurry up, don't rub it off." The aunt stood in front of the mirror, combing her waist-length long hair and neatly braiding her braids.

"Oh" Fang Monan was confused, rubbed his eyes, rubbed to the edge of the kang, and the aunt squatted down to put on her shoes and hugged the kang.

"Wait, I'll change my clothes." Auntie said. She neatly took off her clothes and changed into overalls. Then he carried Fang Monan out of the threshold, put her on the ground, turned around and locked the door, and pulled her out.

As soon as I walked on the main road, the wind was like a heat wave, the scorching sun was like fire, and the earth was like a steamer, so hot that people could not breathe. Originally, Fang Monan was still stunned, but now he immediately woke up, and his sweat brush was sticky, and it was really hot.

They walked north, less than a minute, and turned into another gate, the 'Cultural and Educational Bureau', which was rectangular in shape, not small in area, flanked by a two-story building, and the front of the house was planted with sycamores. They walked in the shade of the trees, and walked inside, on the concrete floor in the middle, which was directly roasted by the sun, and it made people sweat all over their eyes.

In the place where grandma washes her clothes, there is a sycamore planted next to the tap water, and it is cool and shaded, so that it is less hot and dry. "Mom, I'm done." pulled Fang Monan under the tree, and told her uneasily, Nannan should be obedient, don't make noise, give you candy at night. ”

"Let's go, don't be late, we Nannan is the most well-behaved, come to Nannan, sit on the stone platform over there, wait a while, grandma will be fine soon." Grandma turned off the faucet, shook the water in her hand, pulled Fang Monan, sat on the bluestone platform not far from the faucet, and sat down. Because the land is groundwater, being touched by Grandma's cold hand, Fang Monan feels really comfortable at this moment, cold and cold.

Fang Monan looked at the large pile of clothes and bed sheets bubbling with laundry paste bubbles in the sink, it was estimated that there was still a wait, it was better to sleep more at home and enter the space earlier at night. She is so untrustworthy, she can't take care of her. She also didn't want to think about it, how old is she now, can she be trusted?

I used to play in this place when I was a child, and I can still remember it when I see the real thing, but unfortunately she doesn't have any impression of the people inside because of the age.

She was bored with a brick, as a piece of chalk, drawing strokes on the bluestone platform, she didn't dare to write the words now, it seems that she has to find a teacher, otherwise she always hides it like this, it's not a thing, think about this is the Education Bureau, no, can it?

He had been standing here for a while, and it was so hot at noon, and with the sound of the water, he couldn't even rest. He came out to take a look, it turned out to be the old Mo family next door, the situation of his family, I wanted to talk about it and swallowed, thinking that she took advantage of the lunch break on a hot day and no one came here to wash clothes, and she must have been kind enough to watch the door and put it in.

He just thought about it, and when he saw the little girl next to her, she lowered her head and couldn't see it. Wearing a plain, creamy yellow vest and large light blue pants. She was drawing on the bluestone platform with a brick, and curiosity drove him to see how seriously she painted, so he stepped forward.

Fang Monan was writing vigorously, and when he saw a figure on the ground, he raised his little face and saw the person, who was quite tall, with gray hair, a little messy, and couldn't guess his age. The upper body is army green with short sleeves and the lower body is a pair of earthy gray trousers. It's a little dirty, and it's a little big. However, he stood straight, as if he was standing in a military posture, as if he was wearing a general's uniform instead of torn clothes, and his expression was very serious. The shoes are rag shoes with black on a white background, with the toes exposed in the front and the heels exposed in the back, and there seem to be holes in the upper with cigarette butts, so they are used as slippers.

"Hello grandpa" Fang Monan stood up and said politely.

He didn't know how to interact with children, and replied a little awkwardly. "Now, okay." He was obviously a little surprised, ordinary children were frightened by his serious appearance when they saw him, but he didn't expect that she was not afraid of him.

"Lin, I'm really sorry, I'm sorry to disturb your work, I'll wash it right away." Grandma heard her granddaughter and people behind her, turned her head and saw someone coming, turned on the faucet, and said with a panicked look.

'Lin, who also works in the Bureau of Culture and Education. Looking at him carefully, her right hand obviously had a callus left by holding the pen for a long time, and her eyes narrowed slightly, and she was careful. ’

"Huh...... No, it's hot, and it's just right to breathe. "It's still early for you to wash." He said he had no intention of leaving.

Grandma looked at him shyly, and was caught by others, but she didn't say anything. Grandma looked at the clothes in the pool again, and hurriedly buried her head in the washing process, otherwise she would be even more embarrassed when everyone came.

"What are these?" Lin saw that Grandma had gone to wash clothes again, so he turned his head and pointed to the bluestone platform and asked.

"Strokes, taught by my cousin, horizontal, vertical, horizontal, vertical hook" Fang Monan saw him, didn't leave and asked her how she wrote, and wanted to catch it even more, grandma knew him again, proving that he was not a stranger, so he quickly answered all questions.

Lin saw that Fang Monan was chubby, round, and very cute, and couldn't help but think of his unbearable past, and took a deep breath to suppress the sadness in his heart.

Lin saw the strokes she wrote, which was rare for her age, and nodded in her heart. "Do you want to learn to write, don't skip words?

"Yes, but grandma can't, no one teaches me, grandpa can't skip words. Fang Monan was afraid that he would refuse, so he immediately replied.

"Writing is very hard, and it's also very boring, can you stick to it" Lin Ben's serious face is even more serious and scary, and it is estimated that ordinary children will be scared away by him.

Fang Menan listened to his tone playfully, "Yes, I'm not afraid." But she said happily aloud.

Lin looked at a pair of big watery eyes revealing unusual perseverance, which made his heart tremble inexplicably. It's rare that he didn't refuse because of his notoriously cold and stubborn temper, then it's okay to come with me."

"Oh, that's great. Grandma, grandpa is going to teach me how to write. Fang Monan happily ran to his grandmother's side and said excitedly.

"Okay, grandma heard it." Grandma just didn't expect Lin to agree to Nannan's request, so she grabbed Fang Menan's hand and put it under the faucet to rinse, "Look at the dirty." After washing, she continued to say Nannan, to be obedient, obedient, and not to be trick-or-treated.

"Me." Fang Monan said with a smile.

"I'm sorry to excuse me." Grandma turned around and bowed respectfully to Lin, she didn't know how to read, and she had a heartfelt respect for literati.

"No, it's rare for your granddaughter to be so studious." Lin said in an almost rigid voice.

So Lin and Fang Monan walked into his house together. Fang Menan stood at the door and looked at the room in front of her, giving her only one feeling that it was crowded, and the whole room was still a book except for books. On the desk, there were simple bookshelves on the wall, and there were long wooden planks on two nails, even on the bed, I really don't know if he sleeps at night.

The book is a bit shabby, and when you look at it, it is often looked through, and many of them are fried. Some of them are still ancient thread-bound books, Fang Monan just glanced at them in a hurry, and saw that there were "Kangxi Dictionary", four famous books, etc., but he didn't dare to look at them. She was now very curious that these books had been kept intact and had survived the decade of movement. Thinking about it again, I quickly regained my mind and continued to look at the room.

There is also a simple stove at the door, and this room seems to be a place for people to sit without delaying work and rest.

Lin looked at the room awkwardly, judging the two of them from the serious and serious look just now, tidying up the room a little, and finally having a place to sit. One of them was willing to learn, the other was willing to teach, and their teaching and learning careers began.

Fang Menan met a cheap master who was willing to teach, and he didn't think she was a child, of course he studied very seriously, and he met a teacher who learned quickly and well, and he had a sense of accomplishment when he became a teacher, and he was more willing to teach.

In the middle of this, my grandmother said that she wanted to wash her clothes. However, the old man Lin pointed to Fang Monan, who was writing with his wrist dangling, and the grandmother looked at the child seriously, and she couldn't even bother to wipe the sweat dripping, so she asked the old man to take care of it.

Before I knew it, it flew by quickly, and it was past six o'clock, and my grandmother finished cooking dinner and came to pick her up.

"Lin, I'm really sorry, I'm here to pick up Nannan and go home for dinner, I'm bothering you." Grandma knocked on the open doorway.

"No, she just finished writing it too." His voice was flat and straightforward, with no ups and downs.

"The child didn't give you, so I'm sorry for the trouble," Grandma asked worriedly, frowning.

"No, it's a good boy" He glanced at Fang Monan with a subtle expression, and after a pause, he said that you must be filial to your grandmother in the future, the old man is very bitter, and he has traditional women's virtues, and he is a little stupid. ”

Fang Monan's expression was only "embarrassed", although she agreed with what Lin said. After hearing this, even Grandma's expression instantly distorted.

Lin ...... My Nannan is not yet three years old...... "Grandma didn't dare to say that she was not in front of the child, Lin commented on her like this, a little embarrassed, but she didn't dare to refute it."

"If you have ambition, you are not old, and if you have no ambition, you will live to be 100 years old. From the realization to now, he has become a bar, calm, careful, calm, and flexible, knows how to observe words and colors, and his demeanor is neither humble nor arrogant. Mature is not like a child, Mo family sister, your granddaughter here should be educated well. ”

"Well, I'm not educated, if you like this child, it's her blessing, then please bother more." Grandma will climb along the pole.

Who said that grandma is uneducated, and she is shrewd

Does this old man have eyes behind his back? Isn t he working Fang Monan felt terrible for the first time, he felt cold sweat in the summer, and he didn't dare to say that he was seen through, but he was so unconsciously observed, and she was not so nervous when she went to the temple to see the goddess.

Fang Monan hurriedly waved to him, said goodbye, thirty-six plans to go, hide away, it seems that her plan has not started before she was stillborn, this old man is too sharp-eyed

Not to mention that Fang Monan is too much like a child, she can't talk and behave, and no matter how she is, she sometimes forgets her current age, and her natural demeanor and language are different. It feels very different from other children.

Fang Menan walked on the way home and asked Grandma who he was, I didn't know him before. "It seems that I can't come here to play in the future, the old man here has observed carefully enough, it can't be an agent, she is cranky.

Mr. Lin was not an agent, but he thought he was also a scout back then.

Grandma smiled and said How old are you, how many people can you know, I only know, people call him Lin. I heard your grandfather mention that he is good at learning, better than your grandfather, but he is stubborn. It's always a real face, and serious people don't dare to approach, so no one dares to talk to him, and it's rare to see people associate with him. I haven't seen his children or relatives for so many years, it's a poor old man. None of us are specific. ”

Judging from Fang Monan's cursory look at the books in his room, it can be said that he is knowledgeable, originally she just asked him to use the name of a teacher to make a good excuse for his actions later, he secretly observed her, and was a little scared, so he put away his 'eyes', but he didn't expect him to become the new tenant of Fang Monan's family. An indissoluble bond has been formed.
