I really don't want to be a teacher

"Then why don't you go out to greet guests, what are you doing with me, an old lady?"

"Old man, I'm bothering you."

In the main room, Lian Ge stood up, walked to that room, by the door, and said aloud towards the room.

"...Don't bother, don't bother. It's rare for us to have a guest in this room."

In the room, there was a smell, which seemed to be mixed with the smell of medicine and the smell of the old man.

Next to the window, there was a bed. On the bed, an old lady was lying on her back, covered with a quilt, with two pillows under her head. She turned her head, was smiling, and greeted Lian Ge.

"...Young man, you sit... I'm sorry, the smell in this room is a bit strong, young man, please sit outside, sit in the main room..."

He greeted at first, followed closely, and moved his head with some effort. After looking around the room, the old lady was a little embarrassed, and said to Lian Ge,

Hearing this, Lian Ge shook his head slightly, but didn't move away.

"Thank you, old man."

"No thanks, no thanks."

It seemed that it was because she hadn't had any guests for a long time, the old lady seemed a little happy, and answered with a smile.

"...Old lady, I'll help you to sit up. You lean on the head of the bed and sit for a while."

The old man in the room stretched out his arms to hug the old lady, sat up a little,

"...What are you fussing about, it's the same when I'm lying down..."

"...Hey, sit up and lean against the bed, I will open the curtain for you, so you can look outside."

The old lady said something, but cooperated with the old man and stretched out her hand,

The old man just smiled foolishly and said,

"...Then old lady, you lean here and look outside. The sun is going to set outside right now. It's just right to lean on this position, and you can see...Didn't you say you wanted to see it yesterday? I checked the weather today. According to the forecast, the sky is fine today, and I can see it just in time... It's so beautiful..."

As the old man was talking, he set up a pillow on the bed and put it behind the old lady. He helped the old lady lean against the head of the bed and sat down.

He stretched out his hand again, and opened the curtain a little more,

Outside the window, I can see the sunset,

The setting sun reflects the sunset glow, swaying some sunshine into the house,

"...It doesn't matter whether I look at it or not..."

The old lady leaned against the bed, turned her head, looked at the evening glow and sunset, and said aloud,

The old man just smiled and didn't answer.

……

"Okay, you go to greet the guests."

The old lady looked at the sunset outside the house, lost her mind for a while, then turned her head and said to the old man,

"...OK, then you can sit here for a while, look outside, and I'll clean up the things. This young man wants to live with us tonight, and I'll clean up the house... Old lady, if you want to come again Lie down, just yell... After a while, I'll finish cleaning up, and I'll come over and squeeze your legs."

The old man adjusted the quilt on the old lady again, and said with a smile.

"... What are you doing with it? You are busy too. You have been tired all day." The old lady shook her head slowly, then looked down at her feet covered by the quilt.

"To pinch, to pinch..." the old man said with a smile,

The old lady turned her head and looked at the old man, but the old man just smiled and looked at the old lady,

The old lady turned her head and didn't speak again.

"Don't worry, I have so much strength... Look at my legs and feet, I have more strength than a boy in his 30s or [-]s."

The old man laughed again and said aloud,

"Then old lady, sit here for a while, I'll go and pack up..."

"...Go."

The old lady responded again, turned her head again, looked at Lian Ge with a smile,

"Young man, you should also sit in the main room. I'm really sorry, I've been negligent."

"I was bothering you."

In response, Lian Ge moved away from the door of this room and walked back to the main room.

Immediately afterwards, the old man walked out of the house quickly.

"...Young man, sit down first, sit down for a while, I'll clean up, and then I'll clean up the room you're going to live in at night..."

The old man smiled and said, then picked up the messy things in the place, walked to the side,

Lian Ge heard the sound, glanced at the old man, didn't say much, just turned his eyes, and then looked at the room where the old lady was.

On the side, the old man held the pair of messy things, put them aside, turned his head, noticed Lian Ge's gaze, and looked into the room again,

"...My old lady, she has some problems with her legs, she can't get out of bed, she can't walk, and she can't feel her lower body..."

The old man came closer, the smile on his face faded away, he fell silent for a while, said something, and fell silent again.

……

"...Hey, where did this broom go..."

Immediately afterwards, the old man shouted again,

"...It's behind the door. You swept something last time, didn't you put it behind the door?"

Inside the room, the old lady yelled into the main room,

"...Hey, old lady, you have a good memory, but my memory..."

The old man smiled, responded, and took out his broom,

"Young man, sit here for a while, I'll clean up the room next to me."

"Excuse me, old sir." After looking at the door of the main room, Lian Ge turned his gaze back and responded.

"...What are you being polite about?"

The old man smiled and walked towards another room next to him with a broom.

……

"...Hey, old lady, I put the quilt cover that I washed two days ago and stuffed it away, did you put it in the cabinet?"

"...Didn't you tell me that you didn't need it and put it under the cabinet?"

"...Hey, my memory..."

"...The zipper of the quilt cover must have been taken off. If you want to put it on, you have to sew it up. The needle and thread are all in that drawer..."

in the house,

The old man talked to the old lady from time to time, going back and forth in the main room and the room to be tidied up,

"...After sweeping, I'd better put the broom behind the door, so that I won't find it when I use it next time."

After sweeping up some ashes from the house with a dustpan, the old man said something and put the broom back in its original place.

"...Young man, the room has been tidied up, and the quilt has been changed. Young man, see if there is anything else you need."

Putting the broom back, the old man came back again, smiled and said to Lian Ge,

"Thank you, old sir."

Lian Ge stood up, thanked him again,

"What are you being polite about?"

The old man waved his hand and said with a smile.

Lian Ge turned his gaze, glanced at the old man, then at the messy pile piled aside by the old man,

"The old man is doing weddings and funerals?"

"...Boom boom, boom boom..."

Before the old man could answer, at this moment, there was a knock on the door of the main room.

"...Uncle Xu, is Uncle Xu in the house?"

Chapter 515

"...Uncle Xu, Uncle Xu..."

Shouted twice and knocked twice on the half-open door, a middle-aged man in his thirties with his sleeves rolled up and sweat on his forehead appeared outside the main room door,

"come in."

Responding to the voice, the old man walked swiftly to the door of the main room.

"...Uncle Xu, it's almost ready over there, look..."

The middle-aged man held on to the half-open door, took a breath, did not enter the room, but asked directly,

"Then you move the pile of things over here and arrange them."

The old man turned around and pointed with his chin. He had piled up on the table before and just received the pile beside him, including couplets, lanterns, paper money, and scented wax.

"...Come on, Uncle Xu, I'll just hug her... Uncle Xu, how do you arrange this thing? Why don't you come over with me right now and help me take a look."

"How to decorate how to decorate, how to decorate how to celebrate, these things, if someone in the village is willing to be happy, you can give him some and let him decorate them. Me, come back later."

"...then... success!"

After hesitating for a while, the middle-aged man nodded, walked into the main room, picked up the pile of messy things,

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

"Be careful, don't drop it on the ground. If you drop these things on the ground, you can't take them. How about I find you a bag and stuff them in." Seeing the appearance of the middle-aged man, the old man couldn't help saying something.

"...Here, Uncle Xu, is there any explanation for this?"

When the middle-aged man heard the sound, his whole body froze, holding the pile of messy things, he didn't dare to move or let go, his hands were so stiff that they trembled,

"Where did you say that, what did you say, your lantern fell on the ground and got muddy all over the floor, can it still work? You eat food with mud mixed in, do you still eat?"

The old man got angry and said something to the middle-aged man,

"...Then Uncle Xu, you'd better find me a bag."

The middle-aged man was holding the pile of things, but he still didn't dare to move. He froze, with a mournful face, and said to the old man,

"Put your things down, I'll find you a bag."

"I'd better hold it, I'll just hold it... Hurry up, Uncle Xu, my hands are going numb."

The middle-aged man hugged him, didn't dare to move, with a mournful face, he said again,

"Wait."

The old man dropped his sentence, turned around and walked to the side of the main room, rummaged through the bag,

The middle-aged man was holding something, standing on the spot, his hands were stiff and he didn't dare to move, but he still couldn't help turning his head, looking into the main room,

"...Hey, Uncle Xu, there are guests at home."

Seemingly just seeing Lian Ge, the middle-aged man couldn't help saying,

"That's a distinguished guest, a distinguished guest from the village."

The old man came back carrying a large transparent plastic bag, which seemed to be a cotton bag, and said at the same time,

"Hello……"

Hearing the sound, the middle-aged man hurriedly greeted Lian Ge.

Lian Ge heard the sound, looked at the man, got up and nodded.

"Come on, put things in."

Stretching the big transparent plastic bag, bigger than a fertilizer bag, the old man said to the middle-aged man,

Hearing the sound, the middle-aged man was a little cautious, and stuffed the pile of things in his arms into the plastic pocket.
