Chapter 12: Disappearance (1)

After that confession, knowing Zhou Hao's thoughts, Ai Jin always subconsciously avoided him.

I was able to avoid him every time.

Of course, a silly girl didn't know, thanks to Zhou Hao's connivance.

Otherwise, if he wanted to find someone, Ai Qian would be able to hide easily.

Grandma Liu, who praised them for being a good match before, saw that Ai Qian was walking alone these days, and couldn't help but care.

"Teacher Ai, did you quarrel with your boyfriend?"

Ai Wan sneered, "No." She just felt embarrassed that the two of them met.

Of course, she knew that after she went back, the two would continue to pretend to be a couple to deal with the people in the family.

In this case, she wants to break up, and the possibility of success is not very high.

If you want to hide for a while, just hide for a while.

When Grandma Li next door heard this, she made it clear that she didn't believe it very much, and a smile appeared on her face, "Look at this is a real quarrel." ”

Ai Wan was a little helpless.

I only heard Grandma Li continue, "It's okay, I'll introduce this grandson of my family to you, he is in the same city as you." ”

Grandma Liu threw a vegetable leaf over, "Lao Li, wouldn't you rather demolish a temple than destroy a marriage?" ”

Grandma Li didn't care at all, "If you don't have an unmarried grandson at home, you are definitely like me, such a good girl, who doesn't want to stay in your own home." ”

Grandma Liu was silent, this is true, it is all because her grandsons married too early, otherwise she would have been able to fight for it.

The same thing happened to Zhou Hao.

"Mr. Zhou." Grandma Liu looked at Zhou Hao, who was passing by their door alone.

Look at this, the two children haven't reconciled yet.

"Grandma Liu."

"Haven't reconciled with Teacher Ai yet?"

Zhou Hao looked embarrassed, how could even Grandma Liu know about this matter.

Grandma Liu, who saw through Zhou Hao's inner thoughts at a glance, said meaningfully, "I guessed, I asked Teacher Ai yesterday, but she didn't admit it. ”

Even so, Zhou Hao still felt very embarrassed.

"A girl like Teacher Ai is so coaxing." Grandma Liu looks like a person who has come over.

Not to be outdone, Grandma Li next door then said, "As the saying goes, details determine success or failure." ”

"If you want to move Teacher Ai, it will be easy for you two to reconcile."

Although Grandma Li always wants to introduce her grandson to Ai Jin, it is still the same old saying.

It is better to demolish ten temples than to destroy a marriage.

"Even if it's Teacher Ai who is wrong, you have to admit your mistake first, don't be tough, Teacher Ai is such a good girl, where to find it." Grandma Liu spoke earnestly and made a final summary of the conversation.

Zhou Hao, who listened to the advice of the two old men, waited for an opportunity.

An opportunity to get the two back in the relationship.

On this day, the weather was hot and muggy, and there were no classes on the weekend.

When the volunteer teachers were thinking about whether to take out the quilt in the house to dry, the old people in the village hurriedly stopped them.

"Don't get sunburned, it's easy to rain on this kind of day." An old man said with a serious face.

"But there are no clouds in the sky today, so it shouldn't rain easily." A teacher is optimistic.

Looking at the endless blue sky, there was really not a single cloud above.

The blazing sun is sprinkled directly, and it is indeed a good weather suitable for drying quilts.

"Trust us, we have the experience, it's definitely going to rain."

Another old man also joined in the persuasion, "The rain fell suddenly, and it won't give you any preparation." ”

"The weather is still fine, and suddenly it's pouring rain, trust us."

"You just have such a quilt, you won't have time to collect it when the time comes."

The old people, you and I are saying one sentence at a time, and every sentence is for the sake of the teachers who teach.

Even if these teachers still don't believe that it will rain, they are embarrassed to go to the sun.

After all, the old people think about them so much, so they can't refute other people's face.

In the afternoon, everyone was indoors and watched that the sky was still clear, and suddenly it rained.

Without the slightest warning, it suddenly began to rain heavily.

Let the teachers can't help but be glad that they didn't dry the quilt, otherwise they would be unlucky.

This rain, intermittently, lasted for a long time.

Until the next day, the rain did not stop.

The volunteer teachers are worried about whether there will be any disasters if it continues to rain if it continues to rain like this.

The words of an old man dispelled their worries.

"Don't worry, this rain will stop tonight at most, don't worry."

The old man said so, and that shouldn't be wrong.

Since yesterday's rain, these volunteer teachers have developed a blind trust in the elderly here.

So the teachers relaxed and went to class.

When she arrived in the classroom, after a class, Ai Jin was not calm.

"Zhao Xiaohu and the three brothers have taken leave?"

She looked at the empty three seats in the classroom, confused.

"Report to the teacher." One of the girls stood up and said, "No, I saw them eating breakfast when I went out today." ”

"Is there something going on in their house today?"

"Probably not, they said they would come to class after breakfast."

Ai Wan frowned.

The children here are hungry for knowledge, and she has come to teach many times, but she has not seen a single student who has missed class.

For them, attending classes is more important than anything else.

Ai Qian called Professor Zhang, who had no class today, and asked him to help lead the class.

Taking advantage of the fact that the rain had stopped, Ai Qian glanced at the sky, and felt that it should not rain anymore.

So she didn't bring anything, so she set foot on the road to Zhao Xiaohu's house.

Zhao Xiaohu's house is far away, Ai Qian went there once, there are three children in the house, and there is a grandfather.

Taking advantage of the fact that it was not raining, Ai Qian walked faster.

"Teacher Ai, why are you here?" Grandpa Zhao, who was sitting at the door, saw Ai Jin and greeted him in surprise.

"Grandpa, are the little tigers there?"

Grandpa Zhao is a little old, his hearing is a little declining, and his memory is not very good.

"Teacher Ai, what did you say?"

"I said, are the little tigers there?" Ai Qi repeated word by word loudly.

"Xiaohu, I'll call you out, Teacher Ai, you come and sit in first."

Ai Wan couldn't resist Grandpa Zhao's enthusiasm and obediently entered the house.

"Teacher Ai, I'll go get the tea, we are here, only this tea can be handled." Grandpa Zhao turned around and went into the back room to get tea.

Ai Qian hurriedly stood up and stopped him, after all, he came to Zhao Xiaohu and them who did not come to class.

"Grandpa Zhao, no need."

"It's okay, it's okay."

Of the three children in this family, only Grandpa Zhao is the adult, and Zhao Xiaohu's parents work outside all year round.

The work at home is all done by Grandpa Zhao alone.

The perennial physical work makes Grandpa Zhao look much older than the old people of the same age.

It reminds her of her grandfather at home, and it seems that she hasn't been to see her grandfather for a long time.

When this volunteer teaching is over, let's go and see my grandfather.

Grandpa Zhao, who took the tea, walked out and was stunned when he saw Ai Qian sitting outside, and then a surprise appeared.

"Teacher Ai, why are you here?" He looked down at the tea leaves he was holding in his hand, "How did I get the tea leaves?" ”

Ai Jin became more and more distressed about this old man.

I heard Zhao Xiaohu say before that Grandpa Zhao is easy to forget things.

They wonder if it's Alzheimer's disease.

Now she can be sure, that's it.

"Grandpa Zhao, I'm here to find Xiaohu and them, do you know where they are?" Ai Qian is smiling and very patient.

"Little Tiger?" Grandpa Zhao thought about it carefully, "They said they were going up the mountain this morning to help me pick herbs." ”

Ai Qian breathed a sigh of relief, she still thought that something had happened to the three children who didn't go to class.

"They, the kids who grew up in the mountains, are very familiar with the mountains."

Ai Qian nodded, looked at the drizzling rain outside, and remembered Professor Zhang who was substitute for herself.

Ai Wan continued to sit here and listen to Grandpa Zhao with peace of mind.

Grandpa Zhao's next words made Ai Wan's heart come up again.

"When they were very young, I took them to the mountains."

Ai Qian nodded with a smile.

"The herbs in the mountains, where they grow, when they will appear, they all know clearly."

Ai Wan continued to nod with a smile on her face.

"It only takes them half an hour to go up the mountain, and they can pick enough herbs."

Ai Wan continued to nod with a smile on her face, and a trace of doubt began to arise in her heart.

"Every day, they have to go up the mountain to pick herbs and then go to class."

Ai Xuan's doubts began to expand, and she began to feel a little uneasy.

"Xiaohu, they often tell me that they must not be absent from Teacher Ai's class, they like Teacher You's class very much."

"Grandpa Zhao, Xiaohu, is it possible that they won't go to class?" Ai Qian cautiously proposed this idea.

was immediately refuted by Grandpa Zhao, "Impossible, if we people in the village don't study hard, there is no way out, Xiaohu and they understand this." ”

"Xiaohu, they also went up the mountain to pick herbs today?"

"That's right." Grandpa Zhao replied with a smile, "They also said this morning that they should move quickly, otherwise they won't be able to catch up with Teacher Ai Jin's class." ”

Ai Jin stood up directly.

If what Grandpa Zhao said is true, then Zhao Xiaohu and they really have an accident.

Grandpa Zhao was taken aback by Ai Wan's action.

He was stunned for a moment, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Teacher Ai, why are you here?"

"Grandpa Zhao, I'm here to ask you a question." Ai Wan smiled, and with that face, it was easy to give people a good impression.

"What a question, you ask, you ask." Grandpa Zhao also smiled, "If Grandpa knew, he would definitely tell you." ”

"Xiaohu, they usually go to pick herbs, where do they go?"

Grandpa Zhao was stunned for a moment, "Teacher Ai, why are you asking this?" ”

"I heard from Xiaohu that the scenery around there is very beautiful, so I want to go and see it."

Since Grandpa Zhao didn't remember what had just happened, Ai Qian decided not to tell him about Zhao Xiaohu and them, so as not to worry the old man.

"It's hard to walk there." Grandpa Zhao looked at Ai Jin's small body worriedly.

"Grandpa, you don't have to worry about me, I used to go mountaineering a lot."

The words are true, the children of the Ai family are basically good at mountaineering, and their skills in surviving in the wild are also very strong.

That is to say, if you throw those young ladies and young masters in the upper class into the wild, the ones with the highest survival rate are definitely the children of the Ai family.

Grandpa Zhao saw that Ai Qian said this, and he had no reason to refuse.

Grandpa Zhao, who was still very worried in his heart, glanced at Ai Jin's very deceptive face, and still told her the location.
