Chapter 47: Too Prodigal
"Who is this?"
The four tigers in the village raised their little heads and looked at the stranger pushing a bicycle with mud and water all over his body and face.
A group of little boys, all with their little feet and buttocks bare, were playing in the mud at the entrance of the village. They were all made to look like mud monkeys.
Liu Qingshan raised his sleeves to wipe his face, and was finally recognized by Si Huzi: "Brother Qingshan, it's Brother Qingshan who's back!"
The children were all jumping up and down, not knowing how happy they were.
Soon, they discovered Yang Hongying sitting in the back. Si Huzi felt that he had discovered a big secret, so he shouted:
"Brother Qingshan, you brought your wife back!"
When Gao Wenxue got married last time, the scene of Gao Wenxue carrying Liu Jinfeng on his bicycle left a particularly deep impression on the children.
A little guy named Er Mangzi was still scratching the mud on his belly and muttering: "Brother Qingshan, how come your wife is worse than me?"
You little guys are looking for death!
Liu Qingshan heyed: "What nonsense are you talking about? This is the new teacher in our village, and he will teach you in the future."
What? Teacher!
The children were all stunned, and then, not knowing which one it was, took the lead and ran towards the village, and the rest also dispersed.
Er Mangzi shouted while running: "The teacher is here, the teacher is here!"
The little kid didn't run a few steps before he fell flat on his back and lay down in the mud puddle, howling: "Teacher, don't hit me, don't hit me."
It's all my fault that the adults at home have instilled many wrong ideas into the children, such as why the teacher is great, and if you don't obey, the teacher will beat you, etc., which leaves a shadow on the young minds of the children.
In fact, in this day and age, teachers really beat their students.
Yang Hongying, who was sitting on the bicycle, was also confused: "Why do I feel like the Japanese are entering the village?"
Liu Qingshan held back his laughter, held the handle of the car with one hand, and pulled the naked boy out of the pit with the other.
After the little guy got up, he ran home again while crying. The muddy water raised by his feet slapped Liu Qingshan in the face.
"These wild boys are more aggressive than the others. You will be busy in the future."
Liu Qingshan pushed Yang Hongying and went to his home first.
Along the way, many villagers came out to see the strange thing, and Liu Qingshan introduced it to everyone.
Everyone was very happy when they heard that a teacher came to the village, and the teacher was a girl from the city. Everyone was even happier: a teacher from the city must teach better!
By the time Liu Qingshan arrived at the door of his house, a large group of people were already following him, causing Yang Hongying to hang her head hard and not dare to look at anyone.
It's not that she's shy, it's mainly that she knows that she's in such a sorry state now that she's making the villagers laugh.
The big yellow dog at home came up to him with his tail wagging, making Yang Hongying suddenly nervous.
However, the big yellow dog just put his big head over to sniff her, and then started wagging his tail at her, which was very friendly.
This is the case with large dogs that roam freely in rural areas. They will never bite anyone casually when their owner is around, thinking that you are a guest at home.
"Brother, you are back!"
Sifeng ran out of the room and tried to pounce on Liu Qingshan.
Liu Qingshan quickly waved his hand, indicating that he was too dirty.
The little fourth still crossed his arms and hugged his arm: "Brother, the rubber you bought for me and Shan Xing smells good!"
Shan Xing, who followed behind, also had a smile on his face. The little guy looked at Liu Qingshan shyly and called out in a low voice: "Brother!"
Liu Qingshan agreed, then helped Yang Hongying get out of the car: "It's okay this time, I've invited your teacher back."
Yeah, teacher!
The two little guys looked at Yang Hongying and wanted to get close to her, but they were a little afraid.
Finally, they bowed together and shouted: "Hello, teacher!"
Ai!
Yang Hongying felt sweet in her heart.
She touched the ground with one foot, one arm was supported by Liu Qingshan, and with the other hand, she affectionately touched the little heads of the fourth and fifth children, and praised: "Hello, you are so cute, what are your names?"
name?"
"My name is Liu Caifeng, and I am Sifeng'er. Her name is Shan Xing, and she is Wufeng'er."
The little boy replied crisply, and suddenly he exclaimed: "Ah, teacher, is your foot injured?"
At the same time, Shan Xing also obediently moved to the other side of Yang Hongying, stretched out her little hand, and held her waist.
Yang Hongying's heart felt hot again, and she almost shed tears. She always thought that she was very strong, but at this moment, she felt the urge to cry.
Looking at the two little guys, she whispered softly: "That's great, you are both good children!"
The little fourth also went over to help Shan Xing, supporting the other side together, and asked happily: "Teacher, can I be the monitor?"
Haha, you little guy!
Yang Hongying was stunned for a moment, and then she was amused. She hadn't laughed so happily in a long time.
Liu Qingshan gently tugged at Little Four's head: You are too positive.
At this time, the door of the room opened and Liu Jinfeng came out: "Sanfeng'er, why did you do this? Who is this?"
"Sister, this is the new teacher Yang in our village."
Liu Qingshan quickly explained, he was really afraid that the eldest sister would misunderstand something.
"Teacher Yang, welcome, come in quickly."
Liu Jinfeng took the place of the two little ones and helped Yang Hongying go into the house. She was a little puzzled: Teacher Yang was so heartless, he was so embarrassed, and he kept laughing.
There was no other way, now Yang Hongying wanted to laugh when she looked at Liu Qingshan: He was almost a young man, but he could be called San Feng'er.
No, my stomach hurts a little.
After entering the house, he helped Yang Hongying sit down on the edge of the kang. Only then did Liu Qingshan let out a sigh of relief, and waves of fatigue came over him.
Along the way, I held on with my breath. When I got home and relaxed, I felt tired.
Mother Lin Zhi also looked at her son with distress, and hurriedly went to the outhouse to boil hot water and boiled two bowls of ginger syrup.
Since there was no ginger, I went to the old man's place and asked for some candied ginger slices. I cooked two large bowls of them and gave them to Liu Qingshan and Yang Hongying to drink.
After a while, grandma came over and invited the new teacher to take a bath at her house.
Liu Jinfeng also enthusiastically went over to help. As for Liu Qingshan, he took a quick shower in the simple shower shed next to his warehouse.
After washing away all the dirt and grime, Liu Qingshan returned to the house feeling relaxed and found that the old party secretary and the captain's uncle were all sitting on the edge of the kang, guarding the cigarette basket and rolling cigarettes.
At this time, in rural areas, every kang would have a broken gong to hold leaf cigarettes, which was usually made by oneself.
Seeing Liu Qingshan enter the house wearing big underpants, Captain Zhang immediately asked: "Qingshan, did you really borrow 10,000 yuan from the bank?"
The boss uncle told me this when he came back, but everyone still didn't believe it, mainly because ten thousand yuan was too scary.
Seeing Liu Qingshan nodding cheerfully, Captain Zhang couldn't help but slap his thigh hard: "With this much money, we won't be able to pay it off in eight lifetimes. Qingshan, why are you holding back and emptying the bank?"
There is nothing I can do. Most people at this time are like this. They feel uncomfortable all over because they owe money to others, and they still can't sleep at night.
Liu Qingshan also explained to everyone that the money would be useful to expand the chicken farm and build a pig farm to digest the sprouting wheat.
As soon as they heard about wheat, everyone smoked cigarettes with a grimace, making the room full of smoke. Little Lao Si and Shan Xing ran in and were choked and coughing.
"Brother, where is Teacher Yang's bag?"
Xiao Caifeng covered her mouth and nose with her hands and spoke angrily.
It was probably that Teacher Xiao Yang wanted to change clothes, so Liu Qingshan asked two little girls to carry the bag to him. It wasn't too heavy anyway.
Finally, the old branch secretary spoke up: "Since you have already borrowed it, let's try Qingshan's method. If it works, we can make up for some of the wheat losses."
With the old party secretary's decision, the matter was settled, and then it was time to study where to build a pig farm.
Liu Qingshan also struck while the iron was hot and reported good news. County Magistrate Zheng of X County helped take the lead and contacted us about red bricks and cement, so we don’t have to worry about the materials for building the pig farm."
What, build a pigsty with bricks!
When everyone heard this, they started to stir up the pot again. Zhang Zhuangzi was the first to shout:
"It's such a waste. My family still lives in a mud and thatched house. With all those bricks and cement, you might as well build me two rooms. A big brick house, I'm sure I can get a wife!"
These words also represent the aspirations of most of the villagers.
Bricks and cement are also in short supply these days. Take Jiapigou as an example, there is not a single brick house.
Liu Qingshan kept gesticulating and talked to everyone for a long time: the pen must be strong. You must know that the fat pig has a lot of strength when he grows up, and his nose likes to be bulging randomly. If the pen is not strong, it will bulge in a few days.
Fell.
Also, except for the wooden bed where the pigs sleep, the rest of the area must be covered with cement.
This will make it easier to clean up the feces and flush the pen.
Moreover, pig raising and greenhouse farming are supporting industries: after pig manure is fermented, it can be directly used in the greenhouse.
After listening, Zhang Gangzi finally figured out something, and after a loud voice, he jumped from the edge of the kang to the ground: "Does that mean I don't have to go to the toilet anymore?"
If it weren't for the good wish to marry a wife, this guy would have fallen into a trap a long time ago.
The old party secretary clicked his pipe twice and nodded calmly: "Well, there's no need to go, but from now on, I'll leave the matter of picking up pig manure at the pig farm to you."
Zhang Ganzi immediately turned into a bitter face again: "My fate is that I can only wallow in excrement and urine for the rest of my life."
The uncle boss next to him chuckled and said: "Pole, why don't you just move into a pig house? Aren't you thinking about living in a brick house? There are pig houses everywhere. You can live there wherever you want, and you can marry a wife in the future."
I definitely won’t worry.”
Everyone burst into laughter, while Zhang Gangzi argued with a pale face:
"Boss, just bury me. When I become a pig king and kill pigs and eat pork every day, I won't treat you. I will starve you to death of a sonless man!"
As the saying goes, don't expose someone's shortcomings when you curse them. The uncle of the boss was also anxious: "Zhang Gangzi, even if I don't have a son, I'm still better than you, an old bachelor without a wife!"
