Chapter 80: The Nursery School
After the meeting ended, everyone took action and went to work according to Du Jun's requirements.
At this time, the cattle bought by Tong Bin were also sent to Zhuangzi.
I went there early today, and a few helpers bought almost all the cattle that could be bought in the market, and there were 28 of them.
Zhuangzi left five sturdy bulls, and the rest of Du Jun was ready to earn space.
Pulling out the leather whip and refusing the helper's help, Du Jun drove this group of cattle and set off to Zhaojia Village.
On the surface, it can only be explained in this way.
After walking for a while, there was a forest in front of him, and he got off the official road and drove the cattle in.
At this time, there were still people coming and going on the official road, and Du Jun could not expose his secrets outside at will, so he stayed in the depths of the woods for more than an hour before carefully putting the cattle into the space.
But now, if you really return to Zhuangzi, the time will not be right?
You can't stay in the woods for a few more hours, can you?
Du Jun was a little bored, and returned to the official road with a whip.
The February wind, with the residual cold air, blew into his neck, "ouch" shrunk his neck, looked left and right, where to pass the time?
I really can't do it, so I can only go back to the space to sleep.
Just as Du Jun was wandering along the official road without looking at him, suddenly a sentence of 'Miss Du' came from the front.
Looking up, acquaintance Song Jiang.
"Song Zhutou, why are you here?"
"Today Mu Xiu, go to the nursery to see those children, Miss Du, why are you here? You are going north, not back to Zhuangzi. ”
"Oh! The weather was nice today, I came out for a walk......"
Can I say that I have nowhere to go today, not in Anxian, not in Zhuangzi, and not in Zhaojia Village.
It can be seen that Du Junyan is insincere, and Song Jiang is not broken, "The front is the nursery in Anxian County, if Miss Du is fine, it is not bad to go there to see, wait a few months, it is a famous place to play in Anxian County." ”
"Oh! Really? I really don't know, there are fun things in Anxian County? But I didn't take the liberty to visit! ”
Song Jiang raised his left hand, and a large piece of fat pork, seven or eight catties, appeared in front of Du Jun.
"The dean doesn't care about these mundane things, just bring a piece of meat, and besides, I go there often, and the dean won't mind bringing one more person."
Du Jun became interested in this dean who had not met, "Okay, it's better to meet by chance, this girl, I'll accompany you on a journey, say okay first, if the scenery is not good, I will make trouble!" ”
Song Jiang smiled gently, "I believe that Miss Du will never be disappointed, there is a lake in the northwest of the nursery school, the shore is full of lotus flowers, when the lotus flowers are in full bloom, the surrounding literati and scholars will be by the lotus pond, chanting poems against each other, and a few good sentences will flow out every year, but no matter how beautiful the poems are, they can't depict the kind of quiet and far-reaching feeling brought out by the verdant pond......
Du Jun also had a hint of yearning for the beautiful scenery he described, and the two of them walked along the official road to the west, then turned to a country road, walked around for about half an hour, and then came to the nursery at the mouth of the Song River.
During this period, Du Jun also learned about the experience of the director of the nursery school.
The dean's surname is Zhou, his real name is Zhou Zhongxu, he is over 70 years old this year, he didn't like to study in his early years, and he has been doing business abroad for many years, and his family is also wealthy.
But after the unexpected death of his wife and children, he returned to his ancestral house in Anxian County and transformed it into the current nursery home, adopting many homeless children.
It's just that he is over the years, and he is gradually unable to do it, and the last time he said that the abducted children will stay, the kind of unbearability that Song Jiang revealed, is also because of this.
From a distance, it is a very ordinary house, but it is relatively large, and when you look closely, you can find the difference in this courtyard.
Shabby!
This is Du Jun's first impression of this house.
The black courtyard walls are mottled, the skin of the walls is broken in many places, and large areas of green bricks are exposed in the corners.
The rain put on the jagged tiles, the dilapidated black gate, and the bronze knocker have lost their former glory, and only on both sides of the gate can adult men wrap around the thick and thin two doorposts, showing the original glory of this house.
Song Jiang also knew the dilapidated nature of the nursery, and smiled awkwardly, "Don't look at the outside is very old, this mansion is very strong, it has been more than a hundred years!" ”
As he spoke, he climbed the steps and slapped the knocker on the door.
Du Jun was not easy to answer, the two of them stood quietly at the door, and soon, a glutinous children's voice came from the courtyard.
"Who are you? The dean said that you can't just open the door to someone! ”
"Little Bean, I'm your big brother Song!"
"Oh! Brother Song, you wait a while, I'll call Sister Orchid to open the door for you", the sound of the child's soaring footsteps disappeared.
Song Jiang was embarrassed and explained to Du Jun: "This little bean is short, and he can't reach the door bolt. ”
"Do you come often? It seems that you are familiar with this nursery school. ”
"Well, let's come over often, as long as Mu is off, there is nothing in the county office, and I will come over to take a look."
There was movement at the gate, and soon, a girl of eight or nine years old with a double bun, with a boy of four or five years old, appeared in front of Du Jun.
The two children were dressed in old clothes, but they were cleanly washed, and they could be seen to be well raised.
The girl stepped forward, leaned down, and saluted the two, "Brother Song is good, this sister is good, the dean is in the house, please come with me." ”
Such a young girl, speaking generously and behaving moderately, what kind of character is this dean? Du Jun became even more curious.
With the guidance of the girl, I walked through a long corridor and came to this small courtyard that covers the largest area of this house.
When she arrived at the door of the room, the little girl raised her arm lightly, "Brother Song, this sister, the dean is inside, please come in." ”
I heard a voice like a bell coming out of the room, "Song Zhutou, are you here again?" Bring me a few kids this time! ”
Pushing open the door of the house, Du Jun followed Song Jiang, this room is not big, and the most significant place is that there are two rows of bookshelves, which are full of books.
An old man with a white beard sat at a desk with an open book in front of him, and next to it was a teapot that smelled of tea, and four small teacups were randomly arranged.
Apparently reading a book and drinking tea.
"Dean Zhou, I haven't seen you for a long time, you're still so tough!" Song Jiang stepped forward, bowed respectfully to the old man and said.
"What? After sending a few children last time, they didn't come to the door again? Are you afraid of me, a bad old man? Dean Zhou didn't see Du Jun behind Song Jiang, still joking at the little friend in front of him.
It is said that old children, old children, every time they come over, they have to be teased by Dean Zhou, and Song Jiang is also used to it.
Sideways led Du Jun to the old man, "Old Zhou, let me introduce you, this is Du Jun, Miss Du." ”
Du Jun also made a standard bow to this respectable old man, "Little girl, Du Jun, meet Dean Zhou." ”
