Chapter Twenty-Nine: Punishment (Peach and Clan)
Tong Jiale stood at the door for a while before leaving crying.
Concubine Tao looked at Zhou Cangnan without blinking, saw that his face was not good, thought about it and said, "By the way, I have to visit my home on Saturday, do you know where Huangqu Village is?" I heard that the village was right next to the edge of the desert. ”
Zhou Cangnan's expression on his face returned to calm, and he sat down on the sofa: "This place is seven or eight kilometers away from Huangqu Village, and occasionally there are carriages and tricycles to go back, how can you come back?" ”
Concubine Tao had already thought about it: "I asked the master to pick me up in an hour, but I don't know if I can communicate." ”
"I'll send you there on Saturday, the village is too far away...... Somewhat biased. Zhou Cangnan paused halfway through.
Concubine Tao was not polite, and smiled like a flower: "Then I'll invite you to dinner tomorrow." "It's a bit hypocritical to be too polite.
"By the way, I heard that the village is on the edge of the desert, will it be slowly swallowed by the desert?" Concubine Tao was a little worried, feeling that living in the villages on the edge of the desert would have less and less arable land, so people would become poorer and poorer.
Zhou Cangnan shook his head: "No, this is the magical place here, and the windbreak and green belt are very good, the wind and sand can't pass, and the land over there is relatively fertile." ”
Concubine Tao smiled and said, "I also heard that it was the place where the last holy land of the ancient kingdom of Loulan disappeared, have you ever found a mummy or something?" ”
"No, it's just a legend like this, and it hasn't been verified yet."
Concubine Tao saw the emotions of Zhou Cangnan, who had been successfully transferred, so she put her mind at ease and continued to read the lesson plan.
After writing the lesson plan, Concubine Tao remembered that the toothpaste was gone, said to Zhou Cangnan, put on a down jacket and went downstairs to buy toothpaste in the small store.
In the corridor, you can hear the sound of the TV set in every house, and the aroma of stewed meat, with a harmonious warmth.
Concubine Tao liked the warm atmosphere, and when she went out of the corridor, she had to pass through a small garden to the entrance of the family courtyard, and the flowers and plants in the small garden had withered, and a large snowdrift was piled up.
Tong Jiale stood by the snowdrift, motionless as angry.
Concubine Tao frowned, in such a cold day, Tong Jiale didn't wear a military coat, and it is estimated that he didn't even wear cotton clothes in his military uniform, otherwise he wouldn't be so stylish, and couldn't help but meddle in the past: "You will get sick like this, who do you want to make you feel sorry for when you are sick?" ”
Tong Jiale twisted his face to the side, angry at Concubine Tao's unceremonious tone.
In the dark, although Concubine Tao couldn't see Tong Jiale's expression clearly, she also knew that she must be angry, and continued: "Have you thought about it, why should everyone treat you well? Why should I think of you everywhere? Well, even if I like you, look at you cute. What about you? Have you thought about returns? Ever wanted to be grateful? Do you think you can keep the hearts of people you like? ”
Tong Jiale blinked her eyes and wanted to cry, she always felt that many people owed it, if it weren't for them, her father would not have sacrificed, and these people used to be good to her because of her father's presence. Now it's suddenly cold, it must be because Dad is gone.
Concubine Tao sighed: "Even if everyone in the world doesn't like you, you have to learn to love yourself." No one is obligated to be nice to you except your mother. You trample your body so badly, only your mother will feel distressed when you are sick, and others will say at most, Jiale drink more hot water and wear more clothes. ”
Tong Jiale never squeaked, looking down at his toes.
"Go back quickly, remember to go to the cooking class to get some ginger soup to drink, and don't be stupid again in the future." After Concubine Tao finished speaking, she turned around and went to the commissary, and at this moment she suddenly missed her parents and homesick.
Tong Jiale looked up at Concubine Tao's back, tears gathered and a little hatred, all because of her, Su Yang was going to carry out the mission, and Zhou Cangnan talked to her even more coldly.
Even Xiao Funian is good to her, everyone seems to only pay attention to Concubine Tao now, and no one remembers her anymore.
She is unwilling, why?!
Concubine Tao was in a bad mood and went to the small store to buy a tube of toothpaste, and bought a few notebooks and a pencil, ready to reward the students who have made progress in their studies tomorrow.
The small shop was opened by the military wife of the family home, and there were two public telephones in the corner of the store, and there were soldiers calling home.
Because of homesickness, the soldier cried and told that everything was fine here, the weather was not cold, the clothes were warm, and the food was good and there was meat. Let the family not worry, and also tell his parents to wear more clothes, usually don't be reluctant to spend money, and when he pays the allowance, he will send money home.
Concubine Tao was waiting to find money, listening to the voice of the warrior, and her eyes were sour.
She is in this world, and it is a luxury to want to hear the voice of her parents, and she used to be tired of her mother's nagging and concern. Her mother called her every day to ask her what she wanted to eat at night, which would make her feel a little annoyed.
Now she knows that it is the most beautiful sound in the world, but unfortunately she can no longer hear it.
Perhaps this is the punishment, a punishment that is more cruel than the separation of yin and yang.
Let her deeply understand that she doesn't know how to cherish when she has it, and she will regret it when she loses it.
The military sister-in-law found the money and handed it to Concubine Tao, and said with concern: "It's cold now, like these little things, I also have goods at home, you can go directly to my house to get them, so you don't have to walk so far." ”
Concubine Tao grinned: "Thank you, sister-in-law, I should come out to exercise." ”
The military sister-in-law's name is Zhang Liping, her husband is an officer of the regiment headquarters, and she is usually busy with the business of a small shop, so she has long wanted to talk to Concubine Tao.
At this time, he finally had a chance, and whispered: "Teacher Xiao Tao, I want to trouble you with something, but it's okay to give money if you can't do it." ”
"What's the matter? As long as I can help, I will definitely help. Concubine Tao said with a smile.
Zhang Liping said a little embarrassed: "I am busy with this small shop every day, selling goods, and I can't take care of my family's diligent study, and I can't teach this child, so I'm in a hurry every day." ”
Concubine Tao knows that she is diligent and has just entered the first grade at the age of seven this year, and she belongs to the kind of child who is very lively and intelligent, but she has not yet developed the habit of consciously learning when she suddenly goes to elementary school.
"Sister-in-law, otherwise, let her go to my house directly after school in the afternoon, I will watch her study and write her homework, and I will just pick her up and go home when you get off work." Concubine Tao thought that she was okay anyway, and it was okay to watch the child do his homework.
And at this time, the first grade is very simple, that is, numbers and pinyin, like Qinqin, but he doesn't like to study in front of his parents, and he is still a very obedient child in front of the teacher.
Zhang Liping nodded happily: "That's great, wait until next Monday to start, okay?" I'll pay you for the tuition on a monthly basis. ”
Concubine Tao hurriedly waved her hand: "Sister-in-law, you don't need money, I don't care if you give money." ”
