I really don't want to be a teacher

"...Go to the backyard and wash your hands. The teacher is boiling water and cooking noodles. You can eat some later."

The old man dusted off the dirt on the little girl's clothes, smiled, and said something to the little girl,

"……Um!"

The little girl answered heavily, and was about to turn around, but immediately stopped,

Bending down and raising her head, the little girl looked at the old man's neck,

"...Teacher, why is there a black spot on your neck..."

Looking at it, the little girl couldn't help asking crisply,

"...It's okay, it's okay..."

The old man smiled, put his hands on his legs, and stood up again with some effort,

"...Go and wash your hands."

"……it is good!"

The little girl responded crisply, staggered, and ran towards the backyard.

The old man looked at the little girl with a smile on his face, stood up again, turned around, looked at Lian Ge,

"...Young man, wait a little longer, the water is almost boiling."

Looking at the old man, Lian Ge nodded, turned his gaze, and looked at the room again.

"Is the old man the teacher in this village?"

Looking at the old man again, Lian Ge said aloud,

"...I was a poor scholar for half my life, and I didn't have any other skills. The village is far away, and the children in the village can't go to the town to study, so I teach."

The old man bowed his waist, nodded, responded, and raised his hand again, as if he couldn't help scratching the bruises on his neck,

Just a scratch, followed by the old man stopped his hand, put it down again,

Silent, then stood still and paused,

The old man raised his head again, smiled and said something to Lian Ge,

"...Young man, sit down first, I'll go to the kitchen to see if the water is boiling."

With that said, the old man turned around again and walked towards the backyard.

However, the old man scratched the bruise just now, and the wrinkled skin did not stretch any longer.

Glancing at the old man, Lian Ge paused, then turned his gaze back, and glanced at the two ghost messengers in the house, outside the house, and in the yard.

……

"...Teacher, I've finished washing my hands. Let me light the fire for you."

"...After washing your hands, go sit outside for a while, and don't get your hands dirty again."

"……it is good!"

After a burst of voices were heard in the backyard, the little girl ran out of the backyard again,

Standing in the main room, turning her head, the little girl looked around, looked at other places in the room, looked at Lian Ge, looked at the little white mouse on Lian Ge's shoulder,

"...Big brother, is that mouse on your shoulder?"

With eyes open, looking at the little white mouse on Lian Ge's shoulder, the little girl asked curiously, but also timidly,

The little white mouse, who was turning his head and looking at the backyard from time to time, froze suddenly when he heard the sound, turned his head slowly, and looked at the little girl.

"...Big brother, who are you from the teacher...Big brother, are you from outside..."

The little girl withdrew her eyes from the little white mouse with some difficulty, and looked at Lian Ge curiously and asked,

Seeing this, the little white mouse's stiff body relaxed a bit, then stood up on its forelimbs, and looked into the backyard.

"It came from outside."

Lian Ge glanced at the little white mouse on his shoulder, smiled at the little girl, and responded,

"...Where is it outside? Is it the town? The teacher said, if I go to junior high school in the future, I can go to the town."

The little girl spoke first, turned her head, looking forward to it, looking at the distance outside the house, her eyes filled with anticipation, and then, the look in her eyes gradually dimmed a lot,

"It's a lot farther than that."

Looking at the little girl, Lian Ge smiled slightly and replied again.

"...Where is that?"

The little girl turned her head, and then looked towards the distance outside the house, with some expectation in her eyes.

……

"... lad,"

At this time, the old man came out from the backyard again, holding two bowls of steaming hot noodles in his hand,

"...Xiaoya..."

"...my face is ready."

The old man took two bowls of noodles and put them on the cabinet on the wall over there, and greeted Lian Ge and the little girl with a smile.

The little girl turned her head back from outside the house with some joy, and ran over,

Lian Ge also moved away and walked over.

"...There is no condiment in the house, so I simply put some, young man, see if it suits your taste."

The old man turned around, smiled and said to Lian Ge.

"Thank you, old man."

Lian Ge thanked the old man, turned his gaze, and looked at the bowl of noodles on the cabinet.

The noodle bowl is steaming up, some chopped green onion is sprinkled on the surface, some soy sauce is poured, and a poached egg is lying on it.

Chapter 571 I Can't Feel Hungry

"...you're welcome, let's have a taste first."

The old man smiled and greeted again,

Lian Ge glanced at the old man again, didn't say anything more, turned his gaze, picked up the steaming noodles with chopsticks, and tasted it.

Next to him, the old man looked at Lian Ge, bowed his waist again, turned around, looked around the room, and walked towards the table with some books next to him.

"...Young man, I'm sorry, the conditions are poor, you sit down."

Moved the faded stool, brought it over, and put it behind Lian Ge, the old man said a little embarrassedly,

"Thank you, old sir."

After thanking him again, Lian Ge glanced at the embarrassed old man, did not refuse his offer, moved the stool, and sat down in front of the cupboard with noodle bowls.

Next to him, seeing Lian Ge sitting down, the old man had a smile on his face,

"...How does the noodles taste? There is still some vinegar in the kitchen. Do you want to add some more vinegar? I'll get it for you."

Smiling, the old man asked and said hello.

"It tastes good."

Sitting on this stool and eating noodles again, Lian Ge responded with a smile.

"Okay, okay, okay..."

The old man nodded and responded with a smile.

But at this time, the little girl next to him saw this, first looked at the old man again, followed closely, put down the chopsticks she had just picked up, and ran towards the backyard staggeringly.

……

"...Teacher, Mr. Xun, you sit too."

It seems to have followed suit. The little girl imitated the old man, and moved out of the backyard a little painted stool with a small back, and then ran out of the backyard, saying crisply,

"...Teacher, sit down."

"...Okay, I'll sit."

The old man looked at the little girl with a smile on his face, and quickly reached out to take the stool from the little girl and put it behind him.

"...Go and eat the noodles quickly, take it easy, and don't let the noodles cool down in a while."

"it is good."

The old man smiled, and then spoke to the little girl.

The little girl responded crisply, and then returned to the cabinet, standing there, just a head taller than the top of the cabinet,

He stretched out his hand, moved the noodle bowl in front of him, picked up the chopsticks again, and turned around again, looking at the old man, as if to see if the old man had sat down.

Seeing the little girl turn around, the old man smiled again on the little girl's face, and carried it to the cabinet. Before he had finished his meal, he picked up some stewed radishes on a plate on the cabinet and put them in a bowl. With a hunched waist, he took two steps back, squatted down slowly, and sat down on the small stool.

It's just that the stool is a bit short. The old man sat on the stool with his legs folded, making his figure even more stooped and thin.

Seeing that the old man sat down, the little girl turned her head, stood on tiptoe, held the chopsticks with outstretched hands, clamped the noodles on the cabinet, and started eating.

The old man hunched over, holding chopsticks of rice with chopsticks, putting it in his mouth, chewing and swallowing with some difficulty.

Lian Ge turned his gaze, glanced at the old man, paused his gaze again, did not say anything, turned his gaze back, sandwiched his noodles, and ate again.

……

"...cough cough, cough cough cough..."

"...Teacher, teacher, are you okay..."

Holding the bowl, he hunched over and sat on the stool. Under the influence of Lian Ge's mana, the old man who hadn't coughed for a long time, hunched down again, and coughed hard.

The rice in his mouth was mixed with other things so that he choked it out, and the rice caught on the chopsticks could not help but fall to the ground under the trembling of the old man's hands.

Beside, the little girl hurriedly put down her chopsticks, ran towards the old man, squatted beside the old man, a little flustered, looking at the old man helplessly,

"...It's okay...cough cough, it's okay...the teacher just choked..."

The old man coughed again, as if he coughed up the little rice that he ate before, and with a forced smile on his face, he comforted the little girl.

"Old man, if you don't feel hungry, you don't have to eat."

Lian Ge turned his gaze, looked at the old man, and then looked in front of the old man. The things coughed up by the old man on the ground were mixed with pus, dried blood, and small rotten meat besides rice.

Looking back at the old man, Lian Ge said something calmly.

Hearing the sound, the little girl stretched out her hand and carefully patted the old man's back and turned her head, with some doubts in her eyes.

The old man who gradually stopped coughing, first turned his head, looked at Lian Ge, then lowered his head, looked at the bowl he was holding in his trembling hand,

Looking at the rice in the bowl, the old man fell silent.

"... Teacher, are you okay?"

Seeing that the old man didn't speak, the girl said nervously.

"...it's okay...it's okay..."

The old man turned his head, smiled at the little girl, said something aloud, held the bowl with one hand, held the chopsticks, and supported the back of the stool with the other hand, and stood up again.

The little girl also stretched out her hand, as if she wanted to help the old man,

"...Thank you, lad."

Putting down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand, laughing, the old man said to Lian Ge,

Still a little nervous, the little girl who was looking at the old man heard the sound, was a little puzzled, turned her head, and looked at Lian Ge again.

Lian Ge smiled slightly at the old man, didn't say anything more, turned his gaze away, sandwiched the noodles in the bowl, and started eating.

The old man supported the side of the cabinet with both hands, stood still, turned his eyes, lowered his head and smiled at the little girl again, and said aloud,

"...Go ahead and eat the noodles, the noodles will be cold in a while."

"……Um!"
