Chapter 49: Back on the road to school

"Okay, okay, if you can't get up, don't get on, wait for the next car. On this big Sunday, when I'm not at home, I come out and toss around. With the conductor's grumbling, the doors creaked shut. The people in the car were relieved, and the people outside the car were also discouraged.

When you think about it, when you don't have a car, people travel as usual, whether they are riding a bicycle or walking, and everyone has no complaints. Now there are buses, but there are more complaints. With the bus, people always feel that they don't feel well anywhere when they go out and don't take the bus, and they would rather suffer in the bus and spend a long time waiting for the bus than go the extra mile. They always think to themselves, why should we go in vain when we have a car. I think a lot of things in the world are like that.

"It's okay, just wait for another one, I'll wait with you." Teacher Xiao Zhang comforted Sister Xiao Li.

"I can't get in the car, so I'll walk back, I've been walking for so many years, and it's not bad for one day or two." Sister Xiao Li didn't seem to be as disappointed as Teacher Zhang expected.

"Well, yes, there were no buses at that time, so didn't we walk to school and walk home from school!" Teacher Zhang has returned to the past.

"Yes, following behind the big brother, I don't have to think about it at all, just follow you. It's the same after school, I really miss that time. Carefree, there is always someone to guide you in front, and you don't have to worry about wind and rain. Sometimes I really wish there was some wind and rain, and I felt that it was more fun to have it. Sister Xiao Li sighed infinitely.

"It's fun, you're fun, but I'm tired, I'm miserable when I encounter wind, frost, rain and snow, I have to carry you to school and get out of school. You were so young. Now I can't carry you. Teacher Zhang continued to be nostalgic.

"I still want to walk back. Can you, can you accompany me? Teacher Xiao Zhang. Sister Xiao Li asked expectantly.

"You're not afraid of being tired, aren't you? I don't have anything important to do in the morning. Teacher Zhang said hesitantly.

"That means you can walk back with me." As he spoke, he leaned over and grabbed Mr. Zhang's hand like he did three years ago.

Teacher Xiao Zhang saw that Sister Xiao Li had no intention of letting go, so she had no choice but to let her go. Xiao Zhang wanted to leave the vicinity of the school as soon as possible, so that others could see and talk nonsense.

In this way, Teacher Xiao Zhang walked in front, and Sister Xiao Li followed behind. The scene is so familiar, but today it seems to have a new meaning. Teacher Xiao Zhang couldn't tell what he felt, but the moment Xiao Li's sister grabbed his hand tightly, he felt a strong palpitation.

"It seems that our classmate Xiao Li is back to when he was a child, and he still holds on to other people's hands." Teacher Zhang felt Xiao Li's hand trembling slightly.

"How good it was when I was in elementary school, I didn't have to be like now, and someone would even call you brother." Sister Xiao Li sighed.

"Don't rain today, if it rains, I won't be able to carry such a big sister anymore." Teacher Zhang didn't answer Sister Li's words positively, and he changed the topic.

"Yes, do you know the year you went out to study, that is, when you went to secondary school and left. One day I was alone in a heavy rain. Do you know how I got home? "This topic, Sister Xiao Li is very happy.

"Won't it be over if you find another brother to carry you!" Teacher Xiao Zhang said sourly.

"No, how can I be so lucky, I deliberately let the rain go home that day." Sister Li seemed to be lost in thought.

"Oh, it's quite romantic, you don't have an umbrella when it rains, what kind of excitement is there for a person to find in the rain." Teacher Xiao Zhang teased.

"I don't use an umbrella because I cried all the way home, and I don't want others to see me crying!" Sister Xiao Li is full of affection.

"It seems that you are so easily sentimental! You can cry like that when it rains. When I went to school with you, I was most afraid of wind and rain, not only to be responsible for carrying you, but also to worry about whether you had a cold and fever or something. I'm carrying you on my back, two school bags on my chest, and an umbrella at the same time, and you don't want to come down when the rain stops. "Teacher Xiao Zhang doesn't want to follow Xiao Li's train of thought.

"I'm not crying because you're gone, leaving me alone to deal with such a heavy rain. Isn't it all because you usually take care of me too well? I had a high fever that night I came home, and I stayed at home for about a week, and when I had to go to school again, I found that the books and notebooks in my bag were moldy. Sister Xiao Li said miserably, but the corners of her mouth smiled sweetly.

"You still blame me, it's really hard to repay your kindness!" Teacher Xiao Zhang teased.

Just then a bus drove past them.

"Are you really not going to take the car back?" Teacher Zhang asked.

"Did you really let me take the bus?" Sister Xiao Li asked rhetorically.

"Did you hear that there is a pervert in your school who always steals our girls' clothes?" Sister Xiao Li saw that Teacher Xiao Zhang did not answer her question, so she changed the topic.

"There's such a thing, I haven't heard of it, I just graduated this year, and I haven't been here for a long time, and I don't even know the names of the school teachers now." Teacher Xiao Zhang is indeed like this.

"I also heard from my classmates, what they said is clear-eyed, and I don't know if it's true or not, but I think there's always something wrong, they can't fabricate facts out of thin air!" Sister Xiao Li continued.

"Then you can talk to me, and let me be more careful in the future, so as not to fall into the way of the bad guys."

"Well, I heard from my classmates that that pervert is the thief who stole clothes, and he is the teacher in your elementary school." Xiao Li's expression became more and more nervous.

"Ahh No, we don't have the kind of people you say we have in our school. Don't listen to their nonsense. Teacher Xiao Zhang showed obvious favoritism.

"What I said is well-founded, I heard that a teacher's underwear was stolen just after washing and before it was dried."

"Even if it was stolen, it can't be blamed on our school teachers." Teacher Xiao Zhang retorted.

"Don't worry, people said the same thing you said at first. But one day, our principal, the fake girl, also came to the scene and did a detailed investigation, guess what he found? ”

"What did you find?" Xiao Zhang was a little anxious about Xiao Li's sister's behavior of selling Guanzi.

"He pushed the wall with his hand, the wall next to us where we were drying our clothes. He found two loose bricks on the wall that had been pried loose from your school. Sister Xiao Li made a prying motion as she spoke.

"Really, unbelievable, if it's really like you say, oh my God! That pervert is right next to me, and it's scary to think about. Will he continue? I'm living there, and it's hard to guard against everyone! Teacher Zhang felt a little frightened.

"I didn't take it too seriously at first, but then one of our girls went out of his way to move the two loose bricks. At first they said the bricks were loose, then they said they weren't loose anymore, and I guess the perverted guy found out about our side and put them on from you. "Sister Li also learned to reason.

"I don't believe it, now that he knows that he was discovered, and he took the initiative to build the loose place from the new, isn't this trying to cover it up." Teacher Zhang's thinking was also stimulated.

"Can you tell me exactly where you dry your clothes? I can keep an eye on you, maybe I'll catch him!" Teacher Zhang continued.

"Right at the end of the hallway, there's a big window there, it's very well ventilated, and we usually hang some underwear or something there. There is a heating under the window, and the heating is quite large, so if we get wet in winter we go there and put it on the radiator to dry, and it dries quickly. "Sister Xiao Li described it very carefully.

"You, you, you said the place to dry clothes is on the top floor, right?"

"Yes, across the wall is where your teachers live, don't you live there? What are you pretending to be confused! "Sister Xiao Li is a little puzzled.

"Is it on the left or on the right, I mean at which end of the hallway."

"Go upstairs on the right hand side, our girls' dormitory is on the right hand side, men on the left and women on the right!" Sister Xiao Li said.

"Well, there's a foothill across the side of that window, right?" Teacher Xiao Zhang said.

"yes, I can smell grass when I open the window."

"If that's the case, that pervert doesn't have to look for it anymore, I am."

"What, you're the dead pervert who specializes in stealing people's underwear!" Sister Xiao Li said and let go of Teacher Xiao Zhang's hand.

"I didn't steal anyone's underwear or anything, but the school just allocated me a house a few days ago, and it's in the location you mentioned. Isn't this the pervert you are talking about! Xiao Zhang said dejectedly.

"When did you move in?" Sister Xiao Li asked.

"It's only been twenty days and less than a month, remember the first time we met that day? I just got out of school because I had a new house and went out to buy some groceries or something. Teacher Zhang explained.

"So the person who stole the underwear won't be yours. The loss of underwear should have happened before we met. ”

"I seem to understand one thing, when I came, the principal didn't say that he wanted to give me a room, but she took the initiative to find me that day, saying that she wanted to give me a place to rest, and said that if the old teacher of our school retires in the future, he will vacate the room where he lives for me." Teacher Xiao Zhang recalled.

"That's the best, with you living there, that dead pervert can't steal anything, you know, the classmates in the girls' dormitory are wearing very little, and this time I'm not afraid of someone peeking."

"It's just that I figured out one thing, the principal didn't give me a room to rest because I was too tired from work, but, but she knew about the pervert stealing underwear you said, and she asked me to live there to cover up that fact." Teacher Xiao Zhang suddenly realized.
