I really don't want to be a teacher

The old man was still sitting on the bench, listening to the radio, lost in thought,

It's just that the surroundings are much quieter, and the voice on the radio becomes clearer.

"...Jingkang is ashamed, it's still not snowing..."

A playful voice came from the radio, lingering in the shade of the trees with the breeze,

The old man listened, paused for a moment, then turned around, stretched out his hand, and tuned the radio,

"...The minister bowed his head and died, and died..."

Another playful voice came from the radio.

……

Looking away, holding Gu Xiaoying by the hand, Lian Ge walked over to the bench where the old man was,

Walking to the bench, he glanced at the old man again.

With Gu Xiaoying, Lian Ge sat down on the other side of the bench.

The old man didn't seem to notice it, just took the radio and listened, looking outside the tree-lined, the bustling roads and streets.

……

"...Young man, little girl, did we meet once in Lao Tao's breakfast shop?"

After a long time, the old man turned his head, looked at Lian Ge and Gu Xiaoying, and asked with a smile.

"...Old man, although I am old at this age, I have a good memory."

"The old man has eyes and ears, he has seen it."

Turning his gaze to look at the old man, Lian Ge smiled slightly and said calmly.

"... not really good eyesight... old, old, useless."

The old man smiled, and while answering the words, he reached out and turned off the radio.

"The young man is not from the neighborhood, is he, did he take his girlfriend out for a trip?"

Putting the radio on the side of the bench, the old man turned his head and talked to Lian Ge with a smile.

"Come out and have a look."

With a calm tone, Lian Ge responded.

"Since you're here for a trip, don't go around anymore, what are you doing sitting here with me, a bad old man?"

The old man laughed and said,

"What's the matter, I can't walk anymore, sit down and rest?"

As he spoke, the old man paused, turned his head, followed closely, and asked again,

"Where did the boy come from?"

"Sichuan and Shu provinces."

Glancing at the old man again, Lian Ge turned his gaze back, and replied calmly.

"...Where did you come from Sichuan Province?"

Hearing the sound, the old man changed his accent and said something, with a smile on his face,

"Young man, do you think my accent is standard?"

"It's quite standard." Hearing the sound, Lian Ge smiled slightly and responded.

"...Sichuan and Shu provinces are a good place."

The old man turned his head and looked at the street outside the tree-shade, the smile on his face gradually faded, he fell silent for a while, and said,

"Old man, when I was young, I spent a few years in Sichuan Province..."

As he spoke, the old man looked at the street outside the tree-shade and fell silent again.

Lian Ge heard the sound, glanced at the old man again, turned his gaze back, and also looked at the street outside the tree-shade,

On the street, the food vendors are busy, either walking or hurrying pedestrians, passing by the street from time to time,

Voices, cries, mixed together, with the breeze, through the dense branches and leaves of the trees, ringing from time to time,

The streets are bustling,

"Where was the old man in Sichuan Province at that time?"

With a calm tone, Lian Ge started talking,

"If the old man wants to listen to the radio, he can do it himself."

Hearing this, the old man turned his head slowly, looked at Lian Ge again, turned back, and turned on the radio again.

"... Thirty years of fame and fame, eight thousand miles of cloud and moon..."

"At that time, in a ravine..."

Mixed with the sound of opera from the radio, the old man turned his head, looked at the bustling street outside the tree shade, and answered.

Chapter 404 Study Abroad

under the shade,

The old man fell silent again while talking, just listening to the opera sound from the radio, looking at the bustling road outside the shade of the tree, his muddy eyes were a little lost in thought.

Lian Ge didn't turn his eyes away, looked at the bustling street, and didn't say much.

Gu Xiaoying leaned against Lian Ge's side, but didn't make a sound.

Looking around, it seems more and more quiet,

Only the voices of hawking and talking through the dense branches and leaves outside the shade, mixed with the sound of opera on the radio.

……

"...Young man, it's already noon, don't you want to eat?"

After a long time, the old man turned his head, first flicked the radio, then looked at Lian Ge, and said aloud,

"Didn't the old man go home?" Lian Ge said calmly.

"...I'm the only old man at home, I can't go back..."

The old man turned around, looked at the street outside the tree shade, shook his head,

"...my wife left early and has no children..."

While talking, the old man fell silent again, just looking out of the tree shade, a little lost in thought.

……

"... lad,"

After a long while, the old man paused, then turned his head and looked at Lian Ge,

"What do you think, here...how is it?"

Slowly turning his eyes, the old man looked around, fell silent, and asked again.

Hearing this, Lian Ge turned his gaze, glanced at the old man, then looked around, smiled slightly,

"pretty good."

"Yeah, it's pretty good..."

The old man turned around slowly, and then looked at the street outside the tree-shade,

"...you can eat whatever you want, and when you have nothing to do, you can go to the park for a walk...there are more cars on the road, the buildings are taller, and it is bustling... what others have, we have now Now, there is no need to be afraid..."

Whispering, the old man showed a smile on his face,

"It's just that those old guys can't see..."

As the old man spoke, the smile on his face gradually faded.

"...But it's okay. If people really have a next life, they must have seen it too...I can't see it. I can tell them about it when the old man goes down."

……

"...Dad, you can't catch me..."

"My good daughter is growing up, and my father can't run away from you."

"Slow down, you two, don't fall in a while."

On the road in the park, a girl ran forward with a smile, turning her head to look at her father from time to time.

The girl's father followed beside him, pretending to be chasing after her with great difficulty. The girl's mother on the side looked at the father and daughter with a smile,

"...I can't, Dad can't run anymore."

The girl's father stopped in his tracks, and said in a breathless voice,

"Then Dad, let's rest for a while."

The girl also stopped,

"... Hehe, my precious daughter has been fooled, daddy surpassed you..."

The girl's father made a gesture and ran forward again.

"Father, you are lying..."

The girl shouted, and hurriedly chased after her,

"You two, be careful..."

The family ran away along the road in the park, and the voice of the words followed.

……

On the bench, the old man looked at the family that was gradually running away, his eyes were a little dazed, lost in thought, and there was a smile on his face.

Seeing the family run away, Lian Ge turned his gaze away, looked at the dazed old man, and didn't say much.

In the shade, calm down again.

……

"...At the time of four or a few years ago, this place is still a barren land. You have to go further there to see people."

After a long time, the old man turned his head slowly, fiddled with the radio, looked at Lian Ge again, turned his head,

Looking at the bustling street outside the tree shade, the old man fell silent for a while, his eyes were a little dazed, he murmured and said,

I don't know if I'm saying it to Lian Ge or to myself,

"... After a long way there, we can see the city of Xiangcheng. But at that time, the city was in chaos, and it was not as good as this wasteland."

"At that time, my family lived on the edge of Xiangcheng...every day, I could see people selling vegetables with loads, and people carrying coal on donkey carts, going to the city for a long time. Yes, I can still see one or two jeeps coming out of the city..."

"...In 48, I was 20 years old, and that was the year I signed up and got the qualification to study abroad..."

As the old man spoke, he gradually fell silent again, looking out of the tree-shade, his eyes lost in thought.

Lian Ge glanced at the old man, didn't say much, just listened quietly,

Gu Xiaoying leaned on Lian Ge, looked at the old man, then at Lian Ge, but didn't make a sound.

……

"sough……"

"Chirp..."

"Before we left, the principal of the school told us that after we go out, we should learn knowledge well so that we can return to China to serve the motherland... My father took the train for a few days, arrived at the school, and brought me some home-dried Bacon, let me go outside, I miss the taste of home, so take some out and cook some..."

The breeze disturbs the branches and leaves, and the birds hide behind the branches and leaves, jumping lightly and singing.

The radio on the bench was playing opera, and the old man looked at the bustling street outside the tree-shade, and then said aloud,

"...It took a month or two on the boat before I arrived at the place where I was studying. On the way, I ate only a small piece of bacon. I kept it, and I didn't want to eat it anymore."

"...When I got to the place, I got off the boat. I opened my mouth, and what I uttered was still my family's words. I found that others couldn't understand, and I seemed to realize that I was no longer in the country."
