I really don't want to be a teacher

"...Young man, young man...Don't look over there...It's impossible for me to do good deeds and give you money, right?"

The old man took two steps forward, saw that Lian Ge hadn't followed, turned his head, looked at Lian Ge, yelled twice, and couldn't help saying it again.

"Trouble the old man to lead the way."

Lian Ge turned his gaze away, smiled, answered, and then said,

"As for the fee, I'll give you fifty. Is it okay for the old man?"

"OK, OK!"

Hearing the sound, the old man suddenly became much more energetic. He directly picked up the hoe that was dragged on the ground, and walked forward with swift hands and feet.

"Young man, please come here, the village is here...Young man, you came at the right time...I just made some dumplings at noon and I haven't cooked them yet. I will cook dumplings for you tonight..."

The old man was agile, leading the way while talking,

Lian Ge moved away and walked with the old man, listening,

"...Young man, where did you come from...It's really a fate to be able to come here...We are in a remote village, and it takes several hours to walk from the main road, and the road leading to the outside is It's a muddy road with potholes. It's okay at the moment. Although you can't get in the car, you can still walk, but when it rains, if the person steps on it and walks for a while, the mud sticking to the shoes can weigh a few kilograms. Heavy...Just last time, someone in the village celebrated his birthday with wine, just in time for the rainy day...None of the relatives outside the village came...According to what we say here, those who hold banquets on rainy days are stingers, how can I say so As for the stingy guy, he charged ten tables of banquets, and only had to serve two tables of banquets. Anyway, no one else could come over. You said that his mother's knocking on the door is not stingy... Cough cough, it's far away, it's far away... ..."

I don't know if it was the 50 yuan or something else, the old man talked a lot, even though Lian Ge didn't respond much, he kept talking,

"...I mean, it's our side, young man, it's really a fate that you can come to our place... It seems that I don't know how many years have such a person come to the village... This person is very old Ah, I really don't have a long memory..."

Listening to the old man's voice, Lian Ge walked with the old man,

Down the slope between the two hills, down to a valley,

In the valley, there are scattered houses, and a little smoke is rising from the houses.

On the village road in front of the house, people from this village can be seen passing by from time to time,

"...This is our village, old man, I live at the end of the village..."

"... Uncle Xu, you're back."

"...I'm back, I'm back..."

Stepping on the village road, more and more pedestrians passed by. From time to time, some people greeted the old man and cast their eyes on Lian Ge.

"...Uncle Xu, are you busy in the field? Are you done? I happen to be free tomorrow, so why don't you stop by and dig the field for you?"

"...When you're done, when you're done, just do your own thing well, and then where will I get the money to pay you?"

"...Uncle Xu, what you said is right, why do you need money for helping me...Uncle Xu, who is this?"

"... Honored guest, honored guest from the village."

Chapter 513

"...boy, hello, hello..."

Hearing the old man's introduction, the passing villagers inexplicably cast some respectful glances at Lian Ge, and some did not know how to speak, saying hello.

"...Okay, don't stand in the way." Holding the hoe, the old man lightly patted the passerby's leg and said.

"...Then Uncle Xu, I'll go first."

"Hurry up and go back. I see that you are holding a bunch of green onions in your hand. Is it waiting to be ordered in the pot? Be careful when you go back later, your wife will grab your ears and hold you back to prevent you from eating..."

The old man waved his hand and said again.

"...how dare she..."

While talking, the passing villagers still turned around and walked towards the side holding the green onion. Before turning around, they looked at Lian Ge curiously,

……

"...Uncle Xu, have you gone to the field with a hoe?"

"……Yep……"

"…Who is this……"

On the village road, the old man held a hoe and led the way, walking towards the village,

From time to time, someone would say hello, and from time to time someone would ask Lian Ge,

The old man responded with a smile at first, and then introduced Lian Ge in an "honored guest" manner,

"...Young man, we'll be there soon. Do you see that tile house over there? That's where I live."

Walking forward, the old man looked into the distance, behind the houses in the village, there was a tile-roofed house, and said aloud,

Lian Ge looked there, turned his gaze back, and continued walking there with the old man without saying anything.

"...I have lived there since I was a child. At that time, it was still in the middle of the village. For so many years, the newly built houses in the village were crowded towards the entrance of the village. I don't know how to squeeze it. , and it’s still in the valley.”

The old man didn't wait for Lian Ge's answer, so he continued talking on his own, with quick hands and feet, leading the way,

"...Young man, don't look at my house, but it's rare to be quiet. Otherwise, if you live here, you won't be able to sleep well all night when the chickens, ducks, geese and dogs keep barking... Besides, my house, It sounds like an old building…”

"... Cough, what I mean is, young man, it's really fate that you just met me when you came here. If you come here later, you won't meet me..."

"...Young man, don't worry, make another turn here, and you will see the door."

Holding a hoe, the old man quickly led the way, and then turned a corner.

A tile-roofed house built with rocks and covered with black tiles appeared in front of you,

"...It's here, let's do it."

The old man paused again, looked at the tile-roofed house in front of him, and said proudly,

"...When I was young, the yard was still muddy, and there was still water leaking on the roof of the house. When I was young, I renovated it bit by bit..."

Listening to the old man's words, Lian Ge turned his eyes and looked in front of him,

In front of the tile-roofed house is the yard in front of the house. In the yard, stone slabs are inlaid and laid flat, and there are also a few stones that seem to be used as stools.

Close to the yard, beside the yard, under the extended eaves, there are some sundries accumulated,

Facing the yard, it is the main door of the house,

It is a wooden door, the paint color has faded, only some mottled marks are left, and some weathered colors can still be seen. It's a bit thick.

Outside the yard, beside the house,

It is not as remote as the old man described. Although it is at the end of the village, there are still a few families next to this tile-roofed house.

The door of the next door was open, and a villager was sitting by the door, holding a shaukei and picking beans.

"...Uncle Xu is back,"

Hearing the commotion here, a middle-aged woman raised her head to greet the neighbor who was picking beans,

"I'm back, I'm back, are you busy?"

Laughing, the old man turned his head towards that place and answered,

"What are you busy with? That's right. I'm picking beans. The kid wants to eat chicken, so I'll pick some out and cook some chicken soup for him."

The middle-aged woman stopped what she was doing, put Shau Kei aside, stood up,

"Uncle Xu, come over to eat together at night, you don't need to rekindle the fire."

Smiling, the middle-aged woman greeted,

"Soybean stewed chicken, I really want to taste it. But it won't work tonight, I can't eat it at your place, next time."

The old man heard the sound, laughed, and responded,

"...That's right, I almost forgot..."

The middle-aged woman turned her head when she heard the sound, looked towards another part of the village, and nodded again.

"Then Uncle Xu, I'll serve you a bowl. I'll bring it to you when the time comes, and give it to Aunt Luo to taste."

"Success, sorry to trouble you."

"What's the trouble, trouble. By the way, Uncle Xu hasn't asked yet, who is this?"

The middle-aged woman waved her hand first, then turned her head, looked at Lian Ge, and asked,

"Honored guest, honored guest in the village."

"... Hello, young man."

As before, the old man answered, led the way, and walked to the wooden door by the courtyard.

Turning his gaze, he nodded towards the middle-aged woman. Lian Ge followed the old man and walked to the door.

"... crunching..."

As soon as the door was pushed, some heavy wooden doors rubbed against the old door hinges, making some noises,

The main room door was not locked, and it opened slowly in response.

in the main room,

Facing the past, on the inner wall, there is an unrolled picture scroll, and the picture scroll paper has turned yellow.

A picture is drawn on it,

On the top of a cliff stood a tree. An old man with a long beard and long hair and a long robe, with one leg outstretched and the other bent, lay wantonly on the branch of the tree, holding a book in one hand. An open book, with one hand hanging casually,

Under the tree, on the top of the cliff, there are some people kneeling. Some bow their heads and straighten their bodies, looking respectful, while others bend their bodies, touching their heads to the ground, looking devout.

It seems that a gust of wind is blowing, the clouds and mist on the top of the mountain appear misty, and the branches and leaves of the trees on the cliff are shaking slightly.

Under the scroll, against the wall on the inner side, there is a long table. On the long table, there is an incense burner. There are three unburned incense sticks in the incense burner.

Beside the incense burner, there is a plate of fresh melons and fruits.

It seems that over the years, the wall has been smoked to the point of leaving traces, some are yellowed, some are black and gray.

Then come over to the altar,

In the middle of the main room, there is a square table. On the table, it looks a bit messy. Inside a big shauke, there are some paper money, incense wax, and some unopened white lanterns. Before finishing writing, they are spread out and placed on the table. On the top, the couplet hanging on the ground, on one side, there is an inkstone with a brush on it,

The table and the floor are the same, there are some things piled up, almost covering the stool by the table, looking a bit messy,

"...I'm sorry, I'm sorry, no one has been in the house for a long time, it's been a long time... I haven't cleaned it up, it's a bit messy..."

The old man showed the previous 'shy' expression again, walked into the room with quick hands and feet while talking,

"...Come on, young man, you sit first, you sit first...I'll clean it up and it'll be ready soon."

The old man walked to the square table, pulled out a stool from a pile of paper money, couplets, and white and red lanterns, put it behind Lian Ge, and hurriedly packed it up.

Lian Ge glanced at the messy main room, at the portrait that was offered, and didn't say much, stepped into the room, sat down casually,

"...Young man, wait, wait, I'll pack it up, it'll be ready soon..."

While talking, the old man didn't tidy up the pile of things on the table. He first put away the inkstone and writing brush, and didn't tidy up any more. He picked up the pile of messy things and walked to the side.

"...Old Xu, are you back?"

At this moment, a voice sounded from the next room.

Chapter 514 Hey, Where Did I Put That Thing

in the main room,

Hearing the sound, Lian Ge turned his gaze and looked into the room where the sound came from.

As for the old man, when he heard the sound, he quickly put the pile of messy things aside, and walked directly towards the room.

"...Yes, it's me, I'm back, don't be afraid..."

The old man lowered his voice, his face lost the look just now, walked into the room, and said softly,

"...What am I afraid of? I'm surrounded by neighbors. Besides, I'm like this. What's there to be afraid of..."

The old lady in the room seemed to be smiling, and responded easily, and asked again,

"Whether there are guests in the room, I just heard that there is no other movement besides you."

"Yes, here comes a guest, here comes a distinguished guest."
