Fang Xiuli is a very introverted little girl, and when she heard that the teacher was going to visit her home, she was both excited and nervous.

When I went home and told my parents, Peng Senyuan and Ma Meiying were also very excited, they were both simple and honest farmers, and they always had a sense of awe for the profession of teachers.

I heard from my daughter that the teacher was going to visit the house on Sunday, and she started cleaning the house on Saturday.

Ma Meiying also took out the new kang sheet that she had never been reluctant to use and spread it, thinking about what the teacher didn't eat when she came, and she was busy baking dim sum and frying oil at night.

When Concubine Tao came, the family was wearing clean clothes, and the clothes on Senyuan's body still had deep creases, and the three children were also dressed cleanly.

When Ma Meiying saw Concubine Tao, she stammered a little: "Teacher Tao...... Fast...... Come in and sit down. Peng Senyuan was just smiling on the side.

Concubine Tao entered the house and looked at the new kang list on the kang, the carefully cleaned house, as well as the dim sum oil fragrance and some dried fruits on the kang table, and regretted that she should not let the child come back early to inform, she was afraid that the parents were not at home, so she wanted the child to come back and say.

"Teacher, sit down." Ma Meiying let Concubine Tao go, but she stood aside.

And Peng Senyuan stood at the door and didn't come in.

Concubine Tao also heard something in school, this ethnic group is very inferior to men and women, and men and women are not seated, so they are not embarrassed to sit on the kang, so they sit on the side of the kang.

"Your three children?" Concubine Tao looked at the two four or five-year-old children standing next to Xiuli and asked.

Ma Meiying was a little embarrassed: "Four, and one is sleeping." ”

Concubine Tao was surprised, Ma Meiying looked at her skin rougher, but she should be a few years older than her, and she had four children.

"Teacher, you drink tea and eat snacks." Ma Meiying enthusiastically stood aside and poured tea for Concubine Tao, and broke the dumplings on the plate and put them in front of Concubine Tao, urging Concubine Tao to eat one by one.

In this case, how could Concubine Tao eat, she could only smile and say to Ma Meiying: "I came to visit the home this time to say that Xiuli is studying very well at school, and the child is also obedient and down-to-earth, I heard that you don't plan to let her go next semester?" ”

Ma Meiying looked back at the man standing outside the door and whispered, "Well, come back and help me take care of my two-year-old child, it's time to find my in-laws." ”

Concubine Tao was surprised: "How old is she?" Why do you find your in-laws? ”

Ma Meiying explained: "Our girls here got married at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and they were almost booked at the age of fourteen. ”

Concubine Tao looked at the little child, and she really couldn't think of getting married in three or four years: "Girls study more, and it's good to have a job in the future." ”

Ma Meiying said with some restraint: "Next year, the two younger ones should also go to school, and if they both go to school, the tuition fees will not be affordable." ”

Concubine Tao frowned, feeling sorry but unable to do anything about it, she couldn't protect herself and couldn't help others, and there were too many children like Fang Xiuli, and she couldn't afford it at all. Unless you can make the farmers here develop a side business and get rich.

Seeing that Concubine Tao didn't speak, Ma Meiying hurriedly explained: "The main outside tent is not coming back, so there is no way to do it." ”

"Why don't you come back?" Concubine Tao knows the trouble of private lending, and there is no IOU, which is a verbal agreement, and it is easy to lend it out, but it is difficult to recover.

"People don't have money, and we can't do anything about it."

Concubine Tao opened her mouth and swallowed the sentence of going to court.

She knew that honest people like Peng Senyuan and his wife were unwilling to get into a lawsuit, and the villagers really fought a lawsuit, and they couldn't get along in the future, so they could only chat a few more words about their beautiful studies, and then they got up and left in frustration.

Ma Meiying insisted on keeping Concubine Tao to eat, but seeing that Concubine Tao insisted on refusing to stay, she hurriedly found a bag to fill some of the oil and incense of the dim sum and asked Concubine Tao to take it back to eat.

Concubine Tao could only carry the bag home, feeling that the things in her hand were heavy.

As soon as he came out of the intersection, he saw Zhou Cangnan wearing a camouflage uniform, standing tall under the poplar tree.

Concubine Tao raised her eyebrows: "Such a coincidence? ”

Zhou Cangnan snorted: "I'm here to wait for you." ”

"Wait for me?!" Concubine Tao's eyes widened in shock, this blue sky and white day, why did she come out and wait for her, besides, how did he know that she was here.

Zhou Cangnan glanced at the oil incense on Concubine Tao's hand: "Let's go." ”

The two walked side by side, with a shoulder distance of more than twenty centimeters.

Concubine Tao looked sideways at Zhou Cangnan and looked ahead, her expression was as calm as water, and the corners of her lips were pursed and she had no intention of opening. After thinking about it, he said: "It's very good here, the people are very enthusiastic, but the conditions are worse and the concept is old." ”

Zhou Cangnan hummed again before he spoke: "But they are very kind, this place is much more backward than the mainland, and even more so in terms of education, they have money in their hands, and they would rather buy two sheep than let their children study, so to change these status quo is not something that can be done overnight." ”

Concubine Tao turned her face to look at Zhou Cangnan and said with a smile: "I understand, ten years of trees and a hundred years of education." ”

This smile bloomed like a spring flower in autumn, youthful and bright, and shook Zhou Cangnan's eyes.

Zhou Cangnan hurriedly retracted his mind and looked at the red-billed geese grazing leisurely in the canal in the distance.

Concubine Tao saw that Zhou Cangnan was silent again, and she was a little puzzled, it is said that this Zhou Cangnan is not like a stuffy gourd, she saw him chatting with his comrades, and he could talk.

The last thought may be because of the awkward relationship between the two.

If you can't be a husband and wife, you can still be friends, this is pure nonsense!

It took more than 20 minutes to walk from Xiuli's house to the troops, and there was no bus, so I had to walk back.

Concubine Tao found that Zhou Cangnan was still a very careful man, and his footsteps always matched her pace, unhurried but not half a step. turned the corner on the road, and Zhou Cangnan always walked on her left.

When he was about to arrive at the gate of the army, Zhou Cangnan finally spoke: "Tong Jiale will be here tomorrow, and I will disturb you for a few days then." ”

"It's okay, it's nice to have multiple companions."

Zhou Cangnan glanced at Concubine Tao sideways and hooked the corners of his lips: "I hope you can still say that after seeing her." ”

When Concubine Tao saw Tong Jiale on Monday, she finally knew why Zhou Cangnan said that.

This girl is sick!

Zhou Cangnan brought Tong Jiale over, and Tong Jiale came over to hold Concubine Tao's hand tightly as soon as he saw Concubine Tao: "Hello sister, hello, my Tong Jiale, you can call me Jiale." ”

Concubine Tao smiled awkwardly: "Hello, you hurt me." ”

Tong Jiale happily let go of his hand, turned his head and said to Zhou Cangnan: "I like her, I want to be good friends with her." ”

Zhou Cangnan's tone was flat: "It's up to you." ”

Concubine Tao looked at Tong Jiale, she had a baby face, she was not very beautiful, she should be about the same age as herself, but how could she look like a brain-dead person? !
