Soon, the village secretary surnamed Lou and the village chief Jin had already rushed over. As soon as they came, they vigorously apologized to the delegation and Mr. Yao, saying that the distinguished guests had come far away, and they had never known about it.

Teacher Yao had no choice but to say to the two: "Secretary Lou, Village Chief Jin, there is one thing that we need your help to solve now, that is, we are in a hurry to find some ready-to-eat food to use at night, I don't know who in the village still has these things?" ”

"It's the first time I've heard of ready-to-eat food." Secretary Lou spread his hands and said.

Village Chief Jin seemed to know some knowledge in this area, and he gently pulled the corner of Secretary Lou's clothes with his hand and said: "Let's think of a way to do this, but it is definitely not possible to let you distinguished guests who come from afar eat these simple things, I will immediately go to the village to arrange everyone's food and accommodation." ”

Zhou Tangrong walked over and said, "Thank you Secretary Lou and Village Chief Jin for your kindness, but we are not in a hurry to find ready-to-eat food today, but to help an old man from a neighboring village who has been hungry for several days." Because of the urgency, we don't plan to eat at your place. We'll have to leave right away, and we'll need to bring some of these with us before we go, but whoever has it we can buy it at a high price. ”

When Village Chief Jin heard this, he was about to speak, but Secretary Lou had already spoken first: "Oops! I didn't expect you to be so loving, you can't even take care of your own dinner in order to save people, this really touches us, so let's go to the village immediately to look for it, no matter how many we find, we will send it over immediately, okay? However, now I can't guarantee that I will be able to find them in the village. The price is not the main problem. ”

Village Chief Jin still wanted to speak, but Secretary Lou had already pulled him out of the house.

Village Chief Jin and Secretary Lou had just walked out of the school not far away, and Village Chief Jin couldn't help but complain about Secretary Lou: "I said Lao Lou, what's wrong with you today?" They are in a hurry to find ready-to-eat food, but you pretend not to understand what ready-to-eat food is, last time there were so many instant noodles in the village, what is this not ready-to-eat food? You're going too far, aren't you? ”

Secretary Lou laughed and said, "Lao Jin, what do you know, these people seem to be either rich or noble, haven't you seen their tricks?" I've been deceived by these people enough, I should have a longer memory in the future, didn't those southerners come so much last time, all of them were convincing, what was the result? It's not that the thunder is heavy and the rain is small, and we won't even let out a fart after we go back, so we will be busy in front of the saddle and after the horse, and we won't get any benefits. This time, let's not be in a hurry to make a positive statement, even if we send a box and a half of things over, we have to calculate the price for them in advance, and don't do anything stupid about 'living Lei Feng'. ”

"Secretary Lou, why did you become so snobbish all of a sudden. I think this time is different from the past, just think about it, they have been here for most of the day, and they didn't notify our village to come to receive them. Also, when we proposed to arrange food and accommodation for them, they all refused. This shows that these people are not just here for fame and profit, but precisely to do practical things with us. ”

"I said Lao Jin, don't be fooled by their appearance, we should 'eat a trench and grow wise' now, learn to be smarter." Secretary Lou admonished Lao Jindao.

More than an hour has passed, and the village cadres have not yet been seen, and everyone has begun to feel anxious. Zhou Tangrong said: "It stands to reason that Secretary Lou and the others wish we could leave early, so that they can avoid some unnecessary troubles, and it is impossible for such a village to find any ready-to-eat food." ”

Teacher Yao said: "Maybe they are really looking for them from house to house, but after so much time, I think it's a bit abnormal, I'll go over and have a look first, and I'll be back in less than ten minutes." ”

Teacher Yao finished talking and left, and there was no better way for everyone, although everyone had some cash on them, but now it is not a question of whether money can be solved, but whether food will be found in this village.

Twenty minutes passed before Mr. Yao returned, followed by Secretary Lou and Village Chief Jin, each holding a box of instant noodles in their hands. As soon as Secretary Lou saw the look of everyone, he kept pouring bitter water: "I'm ashamed, our unlucky village is all a little bit of a mouse-eyed villager, alas! For the sake of this petty profit, we even grinded our mouths for two hours before we were willing to sell it, alas! I'm so embarrassed! ”

Zhou Tangrong said: "Secretary Lou, Village Chief Jin, this is nothing, I have caused you trouble, how much is here, tell me, I will pay you, please transfer it for us, and thank the villagers for our kindness." ”

"The matter of money, I think it's better to forget it, it's up to our village cadres to pay for it privately, all for the masses to do practical things, you come to us so lovingly, for our people to solve problems, it is really an example for us to learn."

"No, Secretary Lou, you have solved the difficulties for us, we are very grateful, how can you be embarrassed to let you give this money privately? : Besides, you're not in a very good situation right now. Yang Jiewen walked over to settle the instant noodles.

"That's okay, this beautiful leader is so generous, we won't shirk it. In this way, they offered a price of 100 yuan a box, and I scolded them, but others didn't do anything wrong, so we could only force him to take out the instant noodles first, and then talk about the price, but this person's wife said that if they didn't give eighty or ninety, they would go to the township to complain about us. ”

"A hundred is a hundred, Secretary Lou, don't embarrass the villagers in your village, their lives are not easy." Yang Jiewen took out 200 yuan and handed it to Secretary Lou.

"It's disgusting that these villagers are clearly blackmailing you." Along the way, Teacher Yao said hatefully.

Yang Jiewen and Teacher Yao walked together one after the other. Yang Jiewen walked in front, Teacher Yao followed closely behind her, Xiao Laiguo was very happy in her heart, and she walked and jumped.

Yang Jiewen was chatting with Teacher Yao: "Teacher Yao, I heard that you are from Jiangsu, where is Jiangsu?" How many years have you been teaching here? ”

"Yes, I'm from the countryside of Suzhou, Jiangsu, but I haven't been here for much time, and this year is exactly thirteen years."

"What? It's been thirteen years, and I think you're not too young, right? Yang Jiewen was suspicious of Mr. Yao, thinking that Mr. Yao had said the wrong year.

"How old do you think I am?"

"Forty-eight, nine, fifty, right?"

"Hahaha, I'll tell you the truth, I'm only thirty-seven years old this year."

"What, Mr. Yao is only thirty-seven years old this year? It's unbelievable, I thought you would be of retirement age in a few years. Yang Jiewen really looked at Teacher Yao and felt a little distressed about him.

"Really, I didn't lie to you, most of the people here are very old-looking, maybe it has something to do with the climate and environment here."

"Is it that the ultraviolet rays here are too strong and particularly damaging to the skin?"

"I can't say this, there isn't too much light here, but I haven't analyzed it carefully. The few people who came with me couldn't stay any longer, so they secretly ran back. ”

"Teacher Yao, what does your lover do?"

"I'm sorry, I don't have a girlfriend yet."

"Have you never been in love?"

It's not that I haven't talked to someone, but people don't like me to stay in this hellish place, either I leave, or let love give way to it. ”

Yang Jiewen said with admiration: "So, you chose the latter, didn't you?" ”

Teacher Yao did not answer Yang Jiewen's words directly, and after a long silence, Teacher Yao let out a long sigh and said, "Everyone has their own aspirations, we can't force others to act in their own way." ”

Mr. Yao distributes the lighting problem according to the electricity of two people. But after it gets completely dark, the road is getting more and more difficult to walk, and even the person with the flashlight himself can't illuminate the path under his feet, but fortunately, there are fruits from time to time to remind everyone, how to walk on what road surface, so that the old guide is not as effective as the little guide, everyone praises the little fruit witty, smart and brave, provoked the little fruit to blossom in his heart.
