money is not guilty

Chapter 78

Even though he had prepared airsickness medicine in advance and chose his seat as close to the aisle as possible, after the plane took off, Wang Chong still felt extremely uncomfortable.The turbulent airflow and roar made Wang Chong's face pale.If it wasn't for Ma Xiaoxiao, Wang Chong would rather take the train for more than ten hours to go back to his hometown.Ma Xiaoxiao knew that he had a fear of heights, so after taking off, she tightly held Wang Chong's hand.

Ma Xiaoxiao said: "You are so afraid of heights, it seems that things like changing light bulbs will still be my job in the future."

Wang Chong smiled and said, "I can wear the blindfold in the future, and you can instruct me to change it."

Ma Xiaoxiao covered her mouth and giggled. Wang Chong asked what she was laughing at. Ma Xiaoxiao said: "I suddenly remembered that in the autumn harvest in the countryside, when soybeans were pressed with a lug (sound six-axis), a blindfold was put on the donkey, and then the donkey was whipped. Drive him to work, cluck!"

Wang Chong feigned anger and said, "You are calling me a donkey."

Ma Xiaoxiao blinked and said, "Aren't you just a donkey, you won't listen to anyone's words when you get stubborn." As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly thought that if Wang Chong were a donkey, she would become a female donkey. Thinking of this, her cheeks flushed.

Wang Chong laughed out loud.

Ma Xiaoxiao said angrily, "What are you laughing at?"

Wang Chong just wanted to laugh when he said it was nothing. Ma Xiaoxiao blushed and beat Wang Chong with her small fists. After all this fuss, the boredom in Wang Chong's heart gradually faded away.

After nearly two hours of turbulence, the plane landed at the international airport in Jianghan City, Hanjiang Province. The two got on the airport bus again, and three hours later they were transferred to an urban-rural minibus in Jiangdong County.

The minibus drove out of the county seat and drove on urban and rural roads.Ma Xiaoxiao knew that Wang Chong's family was in the countryside, but she didn't expect it to be so remote. The urban and rural roads were desolate, and there were reeds everywhere, but every once in a while, they encountered a poplar tree or white willow, a village more than ten miles away. It seemed quite deserted.

Ma Xiaoxiao was full of curiosity along the way, she caught Wang Chong and asked about this and that, and Wang Chong patiently explained it to her.Although the urban and rural highways are highways, due to the rugged terrain and high salinity of the soil, they have already corroded badly. After a while, they felt exhausted and fell asleep on Wang Chong's lap.

Ma Xiaoxiao was woken up by the sound of the station announcement. Ma Xiaoxiao rubbed her eyes and asked, "Are we here?" Wang Chong shook his head with a smile, "We've arrived in Caoqiao Township, and we'll be staying at the Township Guest House tonight. After one night, they will arrive at our village tomorrow morning."

Ma Xiaoxiao said, "Is your home so remote?"

Wang Chong said, "Yeah, why, regret following?"

Ma Xiaoxiao said, "As long as I'm with you, no matter how difficult the road is, I'll accompany you on it." Wang Chong touched Ma Xiaoxiao's head and said, "Go, get out of the car first, and I'll salute you." Move down."

In order to go home this time, Ma Xiaoxiao bought a lot of things, but now it became a burden. Wang Chong couldn't bear to follow his good intentions, so he moved all of them down, thinking that he would have to hire a car tomorrow.

I opened two rooms in the Caoqiao Guest House, each room costs 40 yuan a night, so the conditions will not be much better. Ma Xiaoxiao has lived in the city since she was a child, and her family is wealthy. Where has she ever lived in such a room? The heating was not enough, and she was shivering from the cold, but she was sensible and did not complain to Wang Chong. She fell asleep soon after a tiring day.

When she opened her eyes the next day, she saw that Wang Chong got up early and went outside to buy soy milk and deep-fried dough sticks. She was already so hungry that she began to eat big mouthfuls, "Hurry up and eat, and hurry up after eating!"

When they went out, they found that Wang Chong had already moved the salute to a tricycle, and a tent was added to the back seat of the tricycle, which became a small bus in the village.

Wang Chong said, "I have to wrong you today. If everything goes well, I can make it in time for lunch."

Next to the guest house is a newly built middle school. The school has been renovated, with brand new teaching buildings, a library, and a football field. Since it is already winter vacation, there are not many people in the school, only two old men on duty in the guard box at the entrance Playing chess at the door.There are four large characters written on the gate of the school: "Caoqiao Middle School". (Note)

Wang Chong pointed to the school and said, "This is the place where I studied when I was young, but at that time there were only a dozen or so brick houses, and the conditions were much worse than now." Suddenly, Wang Chong stopped talking and looked towards the roadside in the distance past.

Ma Xiaoxiao followed Wang Chong's gaze, and saw an old man wearing a military overcoat and a liberation cap, pushing a car towards the inner street. The car was full of children's toys, small picture books, and homework. Books, stationery, etc., Wang Chong said wait a moment, ran over, and bowed deeply to the old man, "Hello, Teacher Liu!"

When Teacher Liu saw Wang Chong, he put down the cart, straightened his clothes, puffed up his chest, and said, "Hello. Who are you?" Wang Chong said excitedly, "Mr. Liu, I'm Wang Chong!"

Teacher Liu groaned, as if recalling, "Are you Wang Chong from class 94?" He said loudly, "I remember, last time Genzi told me that you seem to be working in a bank in Donghua City now? Look at you With this outfit, I can hardly recognize you. Among the students I taught back then, you and Liu Dong are the only ones who are promising!"

Wang Chong said: "How can I compare with Senior Brother Liu? He is now a well-known entrepreneur in the country, and I still work in a small bank." Teacher Liu said, "You are not bad. Compared with him, you are still too temperamental. Stubborn, it suits the old man!" Teacher Liu glanced at Ma Xiaoxiao and asked, "Is that your wife?"

Wang Chong chuckled, "I'm taking my partner home for the first time this year." Wang Chong waved at Ma Xiaoxiao, and Ma Xiaoxiao trotted over and called out sweetly, "Hello, Teacher Liu!"

Teacher Liu laughed, "Okay, when we get married, I'll go to your village to ask for a wedding wine!"

Wang Chong said: "I will definitely invite you when the time comes."

Mr. Liu glanced at the sun, and said: "I won't tell you any more, there's still an episode going on, and I'll make more money during the Chinese New Year, and if I go late, there won't be a good place."

Wang Chong watched Teacher Liu leave, and Ma Xiaoxiao asked in confusion, "Isn't he a teacher, why does he still have to go to the market to sell things?"

Wang Chong sighed, and said: "He was a private teacher back then, but he didn't switch to a public school for various reasons. In 95, he was expelled. I was his last student, hey!"

More than 20 years later, I never expected to meet my former teacher here, and my life is not very rich.

Wang Chong wanted to help him, but this teacher had always been stubborn. He would rather not become a full-time teacher because he offended a leader of the education committee, and he would not beg him. How could he accept his gift?

On the way back, Wang Chong told Ma Xiaoxiao the story of Teacher Liu. Ma Xiaoxiao's eyes were wet when she heard it, and she said to Wang Chong, "Wang Chong, you are really amazing to come out of such a small mountain village!"

Wang Chong sighed, "I just don't want to be tied to this yellow land by fate, and live a life where I can see the end of my life at the age of 30. The world is so big and the outside world is so exciting. If I don't know, then that's fine. But since See, life is so short, how can we waste it? I don’t want to grow old and sit in an easy chair and only complain and regret.”

Ma Xiaoxiao said, "Then if you meet a better woman in the future, will you not want me? I am already 30 years old, and I will grow old gradually. I am so worried."

Wang Chong chuckled, "Then you have to give me a few more children."

Seeing that he was not serious, Ma Xiaoxiao said something, thought it was good, turned around and ignored him.

It was nearly noon when Wang Chong arrived home.His parents were already waiting at the entrance of the village. As soon as Wang Chong got out of the car and said hello, his mother pulled him aside and looked into the car, "This is Xiaoxiao. It's cold outside. Come inside to warm up. His father, Hurry up and help move things."

Ma Xiaoxiao was a little shy. Wang Chong helped her get out of the car and introduced her parents. Ma Xiaoxiao said politely, "Hello, Uncle and Aunt." Looking at his "daughter-in-law-to-be" without stopping, Wang Chong's father coughed, "Let's talk in the house first."

In his second year of working, Wang Chong used the 20 yuan he earned to renovate the old house at home, build a two-story small building, and install soil heating. The conditions in the village are relatively good.Wang Chong's mother tidied up a clean room for Ma Xiaoxiao. The quilts and sheets were all brand new. They were prepared for Wang Chong's wedding a long time ago, and they were all taken out.

Lunch has already been prepared, and chickens and fish are slaughtered. Although there are not many tricks, Ma Xiaoxiao has never eaten this kind of rural method, but she is happy to eat. She is a reporter and has a natural enthusiasm. Later, they chatted with Wang Chong's mother, and found out a lot of embarrassing things about Wang Chong when he was young.

In the evening, the family made dumplings together and watched the Spring Festival Gala. It was fun and lively.

The next day was the Spring Festival. According to the custom in the village, Wang Chong, his father, several uncles and cousins ​​went to the village to pay New Year's greetings. Ma Xiaoxiao took him to watch TV at home. In the afternoon, there were more guests at home.Wang Chong brought a beautiful woman who looked like a movie star back to celebrate the New Year, and the news had already spread throughout the village. The seven aunts and eight aunts came to visit one after another, and they were full of praise for Ma Xiaoxiao.After two days of getting used to it, Ma Xiaoxiao was quite generous, and handled it quite well.

In the blink of an eye, the fourth day came, and the two bid farewell to their parents, and then visited Ma Xiaoxiao's parents' home. On the sixth day, the two returned to Donghua City. During the eight-day Spring Festival, half of the time was spent on the road.

As soon as she landed at Donghua Airport, Ma Xiaoxiao received a call saying that a package had arrived. Ma Xiaoxiao was surprised that she hadn't bought anything recently. At the security side at the gate, I forgot to pick it up.

After the two of them had lunch outside, Wang Chong sent Ma Xiaoxiao home. He planned to go back to the Chengdong Sub-branch first. According to Lin Tianhua's style, the first day after work on holidays must be the bank's general meeting. He first prepared for this year's meeting. The development ideas and work priorities of the Chengdong Sub-branch will prevent you from being caught blind when you are questioned. Before you leave the gate of the community, you hear Ma Xiaoxiao calling.

"Wang Chong, come back quickly!"

"what happened?"

Ma Xiaoxiao shouted across the phone, "My house has been burglarized!"

Note: Mark the key points, the next book will be tested.The reason why I wrote this chapter is to lead to Sanguan’s next short story "Private Teachers". The book "Money" has come to an end. During this period, I will spend a month writing a short story about 80 words about private teachers in rural areas in the [-]s.
