Chapter 24: The Sole Candidate
It was a normal day in the village, the sun was rising and setting in the west, and the leaves were rustling in the wind. But these ordinary scenes were all broken because of Chen Wentao's return.
"Stop!"
"Stop!"
In the village, Ah Chen ran in front of an old hen with a red rope pinned to his wrist; Behind, Xiaoguang, Yaya, Ah Shun, and Niu Niu chased after them angrily.
"Don't run, return my headband!" Yaya shouted angrily.
"Give me back my hen !!" Ah Shun shouted in a louder voice.
"Give me back my dad!" Niu Niu also shouted excitedly, but it didn't seem right? Everyone looked at him. He embarrassedly poked Xiaoguang with his elbow, "It's your turn." ”
"Give me back, what do you want to pay me back...... Forget it, don't run!! Xiaoguang also shouted.
"I said Teacher Yu is back, why don't you believe me?" Ah Chen shouted back from a distance.
"What do you believe, you put down what you have in your hand first!" Ah Shun said.
"What do you put it, are you stupid for me? Do you still chase me when I let go? Ah Chen did not show weakness.
So, with Ah Chen's efforts, several of them started a long-distance running for unknown reasons. Obviously, the academy was there and they could run in a straight line, but Ah Chen stubbornly led them around the entire village. And Ah Chen also slowed down "intimately", so that everyone could keep up and not fall behind.
Finally, the academy that was not far away showed his delicate face today, Ah Chen stopped beside Yu Tongwen smoothly, the four people behind him were tired and panting and sweating, seeing Ah Chen finally stopped and breathed a sigh of relief, while leaning on his knees while slowly moving here, his mouth couldn't stop at all: "Run...... You have the ability to run again......""...... Give me back my chickens ......."
"Ahem......" Yu Tongwen coughed twice with his back to them, and the four people who had just come to them hurriedly stood up straight, "Teacher, you're really back......"
Yu Tongwen straightened up and said in a serious tone: "What kind of system is it to fight and make trouble." Ah Chen, return other people's things to him. ”
The maid came over and dragged her hairband away. Unexpectedly, when he dragged it too hard, the chicken flew away from Ah Chen's arms with a "poof". "Eh, chicken!" However, everyone looked at Yu Tongwen's back, and he still didn't chase after him.
What people didn't expect was that Teacher Yu, who had a very dignified back, turned around with several dirty black marks on his face, which really made people laugh.
"What are you laughing at, didn't I make this look like this for you!" Yu Tongwen tapped their heads lightly, and they barely held back their smiles.
Yu Tongwen sighed and said, "No kidding, let's get down to business." Everyone looked at him expectantly and nervously, "I won't sell Guan Zi and say the result directly, among you people, the hospital only named Ah Chen." ”
As long as Ah Chen is one. Although everyone was somewhat mentally prepared for this incident, they still couldn't hide their disappointment when they heard this. But that's all, no one beat their chests and cried or anything.
Ah Chen frowned himself and asked, "Isn't Yaya okay too?" The grade of the spiritual endowment is excellent, and it is a double spiritual endowment, so it is not accepted? ”
Yu Tongwen sighed again and said, "Originally, their enrollment had already ended when we went, and if you didn't take their enrollment exam, they naturally wouldn't accept it...... Even you, we reluctantly got you into school. ”
At this time, Yaya came over to comfort Ah Chen: "It's okay, if you can't go, you can't go, we can live freely in this village." Ah Shun and the others nodded, expressing their agreement with her.
"Well, children, you have to remember that whether you go out or stay in the village, you must keep your chest up and behave and don't disgrace your teachers."
"Remember, students!"
When another hunting party returned, it was getting dark, and a bonfire rose in the open space at the entrance of the village. (So in the end, Ah Shun's chicken still didn't get back, did it?!) Ah Chen is going out to study tomorrow, and this one will be his farewell dinner.
Flames churned in the middle, surrounded by crowds of people sitting in concentric formations. Everyone had smiles on their faces and shouted cheers, and half of their faces were red in the light of the fire. Some people danced around the bonfire, some sang loudly, and the warm atmosphere even compared to the blazing flame in the middle. The huge pot is placed in the middle, and the soup, meat, and vegetables are poured, although it is a familiar recipe, but there is also a huge difference in mood due to the different times.
Ah Chen, Xiaoguang, Yaya, Ah Shun, and Niu Niu gathered together, holding the juice produced in their village, and "ping-pong" together.
"Cheers to Ah Chen!"
"I'm leaving tomorrow, do you have anything to tell me?" Ah Chen took a sip of the juice in the cup and asked expectantly.
"Don't forget about us." Xiaoguang said perfunctorily. "Hmm...... Just remember to bring us some local produce when you come back. "Ah Shun's words are still as pertinent as ever." I'm going to eat! Niu Niu hurriedly swallowed the juice in his mouth and continued.
"Time flies so fast, Ah Chen is going to go outside in a flash, you go, I don't know when I will be able to come back...... "No, why is the topic crooked when you get to Yaya?" But Ah Chen also knows that Yaya is the most talented person (are you counting one less?) Although he didn't show it, his heart must be unbalanced, and he even saw tears flickering in the corners of Yaya's eyes, so he hurriedly said: "What to say, Teacher Yu told me that there will be a chance to go home every year, don't say that I won't come back." Xiaoguang also walked up the stairs and said, "Stinky boy, I still mean you really won't come back." ”
On the side, Chen Wentao looked at Wang Xiulan, who was no longer at a loss, and said, "How is it?" Figured it out? "Well, I've figured it out, while Ah Chen is still young, let's take a look at the outside world." "It's good to figure it out...... It's just that it's time for our house to be quiet again......"
Unexpectedly, at this time, he suddenly said, "Ah Chen, go up and say a few words!" When the words came, everyone's eyes suddenly focused on Ah Chen. Say a few words? Ah Chen walked to the campfire with the cup, and a black shadow covered his face.
"I, Chenchen, will leave the village tomorrow to go to school. But no matter where I go or what I do in the future, I will never forget the teachings of my elders, and I will always be a part of the village. ”
"Good!" "Well said!!!" The uneven applause rang out, and Ah Chen's farewell party ended.
