I really don't want to be a teacher

In the room, it became more and more quiet, only the sound of the wind mixed with some rustling sounds.

……

"...Sit, what are you doing standing up. It's been a day of walking, so let's rest."

Holding two bowls of steaming hot noodles, the old man came out from the backyard and greeted,

"Thank you old man. Let's do it."

After saying thanks again, two soldiers stepped forward and took two bowls of noodles,

"Don't be so polite. If you are away from home, you can help. You can taste it, I don't know if it suits your taste."

The old man waved his hand and said,

"We are already satisfied if we can eat a bowl of hot noodles. Besides, old man, the seasoning on your noodles looks delicious."

Holding the noodle bowl, one of the soldiers responded with a smile, took the chopsticks, picked up the noodles with the chopsticks, and ate.

"Well, it's delicious."

Eating noodles, one of the soldiers said.

"It's delicious, it's delicious..."

The old man smiled and said, then turned around again, pulled the two stools over,

"Sit down and eat, don't stand up."

"Thank you, old man."

The two soldiers did not refuse any more. After taking the stool, they sat down,

"Then old man, how much are your two bowls of noodles, I'll give you the money first."

One of the soldiers held his noodles and chopsticks in one hand, and groped in the arm pocket of his camouflage uniform with the other.

"You guys can eat, no money is required. If it's not enough, I'll give you some more."

The old man shook his head and said, "It's not easy for you. How big is this? You have worked so hard to protect your home and country. Now I've come to my house. I'll give you a bowl of noodles. How can I charge you any more money?"

"Old man, you also know that we are soldiers. The army is disciplined, so you can't let us violate discipline. This money is for you, you can accept it. If you don't accept it, we dare not eat it."

The soldier smiled and said, and handed the two crumpled bills out of his arm pocket to the old man.

On the side, another soldier also paused, not continuing to eat noodles.

Hearing this, the old man looked at the two soldiers again, reached out and took one of the banknotes handed over,

"That's enough. I'm the face of my family, and it's not worth that much money. You can take back the rest."

"Then... thank you, old man."

After hesitating for a while, the soldier withdrew his hand, and didn't put the remaining banknote back in his arm pocket. He just held it in his hand, picked up the chopsticks, and continued to eat noodles.

"Eat slowly, don't choke, I'll make it for you if it's not enough, there's still a lot of noodles at home."

Seeing that the soldier withdrew his hand, the old man smiled and said,

"...We're used to it, and we eat in a hurry. You're laughing at me, old man."

After one of the soldiers ate the noodles, he smiled and said to the old man,

"It's enough for us to eat this bowl. If we eat too much later, it will affect our journey."

Hearing this, the old man nodded first, then turned his head, looked at the darkened sky outside the main room,

"Why don't you just stay overnight at my house and leave tomorrow."

Turning back, the old man said,

"It's already dark, and the roads are not easy to walk. At night, you always have to find a place to rest. There are no people around our village. When you leave the village, go to the next village, which is the closest It will take several hours to walk. If it is not for that direction, I don't know how long it will take.

If you don't dislike it, you can rest at the old man's house for one night, and then leave after dawn tomorrow. "

Hearing this, the two soldiers stopped what they were doing. One of the soldiers looked at the old man and shook his head.

"It's better not to, this is really bothering you too much, old man."

"Why bother. I live alone in this room on weekdays. When you come, someone will talk to me, and it will be more lively."

The old man shook his head and said.

Hearing this, one of the soldiers turned his head and looked outside the hall,

"Old man, what is the name of our village, and where is it probably located?"

"The village is called Dahe Village. If you go to the sea, you won't be far away. Go over the mountain outside the village, follow the river from the mountain, and go downstream. It won't be far to the sea. If you walk towards the town or the city, you will be far away. You have to go to the town first, then take a bus from the town to the county, and then transfer from the county to the city.

No matter which way you go, it's not easy to go at night.You should rest in the village overnight, and I'll just charge you money. "

Looking outside the main room, the old man said.

"...Then thank you, old man." Looking outside the hall again, one of the soldiers responded.

"You don't need to be so polite. Then you eat first, and I will help you clean up the house."

The old man shook his head first, then stood up again, and was about to walk into the next room.

On the side, Lian Ge watched and listened, moved his footsteps again, walked to the door of the main room, and knocked on the door of the main room with his hand.

"Dong dong..."

Hearing the sound, in the main room, the two soldiers who were eating noodles, and the old man walking towards the back room, both paused for a moment, followed closely, and then slowly turned their heads.

"Boy, what's the matter with you?"

Seemingly just noticed Lian Ge again, the old man asked aloud,

Lian Ge smiled slightly, took the bowl in his hand, put the undrinked water aside, looked at the old man, and said calmly,

"It's getting late, I wonder if the old man can let me stay overnight."

Hearing this, the old man first looked at the sky outside the hall,

"Young man, I'm really sorry. There are only two rooms in my house, old man. I live in one old man, and the other has just been given to these two comrades..."

The old man shook his head and said,

"If this comrade needs it, just give it to him, and the two of us can just find a place to rest."

The two soldiers who had just finished eating noodles stood up and said with a smile,

"Thank you both, but it's unnecessary."

Lian Ge looked at the two soldiers, smiled slightly and said,

"...Young man, if you need to find a place to rest, go to the house of the third son of the Shen family. He has a vacant house. His house is at the end of the village. From here, follow the road to the village. At the last turn, in front of the foot of the mountain, is his house. If you go there, just say it was me, and his old uncle asked you to go there, and that’s it.”

The old man looked at Lian Ge, and then said.

"Then thank you, old man."

Lian Ge smiled, thanked him, moved away, turned around, and stepped out of the main room again.

Walk out of the yard, walk towards the village along the village road.

Behind him, in the main room with the half-open door, the old man stood where he was. After stamping his feet again, he turned around and continued walking towards the next room.

After the two soldiers paused, they turned their heads, put down their noodle bowls, stood up,

"...Old man, let's come, we can clean up by ourselves."

"The visitor is a guest. There is no reason to let the guests clean up the room by themselves. Sit down, I will clean up in a short time."

"It's okay, old man, let's clean up by ourselves..."

"...That's fine, you pack it up, I'll get you the quilt..."

Along the village road, Lian Ge moved forward, and behind him, his voice gradually faded away.

Chapter 375

"...Xiao Fang, run slowly, don't fall, you will be home soon..."

"Got it, Dad..."

A little boy was running, and his father followed closely behind him, protecting him, passing Lian Ge, and ran towards the yard not far away.

Along the village road, Lian Ge moved towards the village, watching, listening,

The breeze blows from time to time, rolling up some fallen leaves in other people's yards, and with some voices, blowing past Lian Ge's side, and blowing into the distance.

……

"... Hurry up, these old women are taking a long time, they really can't move anymore."

"Hey, then my body is stronger than yours..."

"Why panic, don't fall for a while, we won't help you if you can't get up..."

"...When you arrive at my yard, let's stand in the house for a while..."

A few old ladies who were enjoying the shade at the entrance of the village put cattail fans on their heads and walked past Lian Ge cautiously, heading for the village.

……

Moving his feet, Lian Ge continued to walk along the village road. On both sides of the village road, families passed by.

Beside a courtyard, outside the main house, under the eaves, an old lady was standing, holding a cattail fan, fanning it lightly from time to time, slapping on it, looking out of the eaves, as if she was watching the people passing by on the village road from time to time, and the surrounding people in the distance. Hills over the village.

"...Mom, don't stand outside, it's cold outside, don't catch a cold in a while."

In the main room behind the old lady, a middle-aged woman stepped out of the main room and said to the old lady,

"Okay, okay...Mom, let's go into the house now." The old lady smiled when she heard the sound, she turned around and walked into the house with a cattail fan in her hand,

"Xiaohan is asleep?"

"Sleeping, he was still making trouble before, and he felt sleepy after eating, his eyes were blurred... I let him go to sleep."

"Children, it's like this. Guoyou used to be like this when he was a child. He was skinny during the day, and fell asleep as soon as he got into bed at night..."

The old lady entered the house, the door of the main room was ajar, holding a stool to block it.

The voice followed the courtyard and went away behind Lian Ge,

……

"...Mom, let me help you collect it too."

"Hey, don't stay here, go into the house, don't catch a cold later."

In a yard, a middle-aged woman was hurriedly collecting the grains that were drying in the yard. She seemed to be in a hurry, or no one helped to pull the bag. The middle-aged woman didn't put the grains in the bag, but just held a bamboo dustpan. Hastily packed up the gathered millet, and dumped pinch after pinch to the eaves next to the main room,

An eight or nine-year-old boy squatted aside, and whenever his mother put down the dustpan, he also helped to cover the yard with grains in the dustpan.

Once again, his mother went down to the eaves with a dustpan, the little boy stood up, looked to the side, then pulled another dustpan, covered some grains in it, and seemed to be ready to help carry the grains to the eaves fall down.

"... Be obedient, hurry into the house, or mom will be angry."

The middle-aged woman took the little boy and picked up the dustpan, and while adding some more into the dustpan, she said,

The little boy stood aside, trembling, but stood still.

"...Go into the house to wash your hands, and help mother collect the clothes hanging on the edge of the backyard."

The middle-aged woman held a dustpan and said to her child,

"it is good!"

The little boy responded and quickly ran into the house.

Looking at her child, the middle-aged woman smiled, took a dustpan full of grains, and trotted quickly towards the eaves.

"...Hey, why hasn't the millet been confiscated yet?"

At this moment, another family next to the courtyard opened the door of the main room. After looking out, they noticed the courtyard.

When the door was opened, an older woman, stepping on her feet carefully, ran towards this side,

Picking up a dustpan next to it, he also helped collect the millet,

"...Big Sister Chen, no need, I'll just collect it myself, so I won't make you catch a cold too."
