I really don't want to be a teacher

"...Come out for a walk, by the way, buy something to go back. Is it New Year's Eve, the children are back, the old lady will let me buy two more vegetables to go back..."

"...The second son asked to go to their side later, and the boss's house also passed, and the family had a meal together...I will go over to help with the work..."

"... Mom, I want to eat this..."

On the street, the crowd is bustling with laughter,

Lian Ge moved their feet, walked forward, and watched.

The child who chased his companion, the man who picked up clothes for his mother, the old man who was shopping and talking about his children, the stall owner who cleaned up the stall and was preparing to go home for the New Year’s Eve dinner, the adult who bought candy for his child, cuddling with each other married couples, elderly people supporting each other,

It seems that on the street, under the lights of street lamps, every pedestrian has a smile on his face, happy and happy.

Watching and listening, Lian Ge moved his feet and led Gu Xiaoying forward.

……

"...Lian Ge, doesn't this place...it feels too...happy..."

Following Lian Ge's side, Gu Xiaoying looked at the bustling pedestrians on the street, and seeing these people laughing, she couldn't help turning her head, looking at Lian Ge, and asked aloud.

Turning his gaze, he glanced at Gu Xiaoying,

"Go ahead."

After just saying something, Lian Ge turned his gaze back, looked at the bustling street, listened to the laughter mixed in his ears, and moved his feet forward.

Gu Xiaoying nodded, didn't say anything, and walked beside Lian Ge.

On Lian Ge's shoulders, the little white mouse stood with its forelimbs and turned its head, looking around.

……

"...OK, one more... one more..."

Walking to the place where the lion dance is being performed, the whole street is almost at the end.

In the open space, the lion dancers still worked hard to make gorgeous movements, and many passers-by watched from time to time, applauding and watching with joy.

The sound of gongs and drums from the lion dance, and the applause from around, mingled in Lian Ge's ears.

Stamping his feet slightly, Lian Ge glanced at the bustling place with lion dances surrounded by crowds, then turned his gaze to the side of the street.

Perhaps the lion dancers and onlookers occupied most of the place, or it was because it was close to the end of the street.

A few steps away from the crowd of onlookers, there is only one stall on the street.

The stall was just under a street lamp, it was a noodle stall.

The stove and stove of the noodle stall are placed on one side, and several tables and benches are placed along the street in front of the stove.

Firewood is burning under one side of the stove, and an iron pot is embedded on it, relying on the stove, and next to it is a stove, a counter table, some uncooked noodles, some seasonings, and two empty bowls with some seasonings. bowl,

In the pot, the water for cooking the noodles was already boiling, turned over, and under the light from the street lamps, there was some hot air lingering upwards.

In front of the stove, there stood an old man, wearing light clothes that were neither thin nor thick, busy with his work.

At the booth, there was another customer sitting at the table, eating noodles.

"...Boss, the money is on the table for you."

After eating the noodles, the customer took another sip of the noodle soup, took some money out of his pocket, and put it on the table.

"……Row."

The old man responded with a smile, and the customer got up and left the noodle stall.

The old man turned around, grabbed some noodles by the table, threw them into the pot where the water was already boiling, and picked up some noodles in the pot with chopsticks.

Immediately afterwards, the old man took the chopsticks, turned around, and looked at the side of Lian Ge and the two,

"Come and sit down and eat a bowl of noodles."

With a smile on his face, the old man looked at Lian Ge, said something aloud, then ignored Lian Ge and the two, turned around again, and started working in front of the stove.

This was the only person on the street who took the initiative to speak to Lian Ge and the others.

Looking at the old man, Lian Ge didn't say much, and walked towards the stall with Gu Xiaoying.

Beside him, Gu Xiaoying looked at the old man, then turned to look at Lian Ge, did not speak, just followed Lian Ge to the stall.

……

Moving his feet, Lian Ge led Gu Xiaoying to the booth, only a few steps away,

Behind him, at the place where the lion was dancing, there was laughter, applause, and the sound of gongs and drums suddenly seemed to be far away.

Walking to the stall, Lian Ge took a look, found a table at random, and sat down.

Beside him, Gu Xiaoying also sat down with Lian Ge.

Glancing at the booth, Lian Ge turned his gaze, and then looked at the old man who was busy in front of the stove.

With his back to Lian Ge and the two of them, the old man picked up the noodles in the pot with chopsticks, and when the water in the pot boiled again, he took a spoon and filled some noodle soup until the two had been seasoned. in the bowl,

Then he put down the spoon, picked up the bowl, took the chopsticks, and picked the noodles in the pot into two bowls.

Putting down the chopsticks again, the old man held two bowls of steaming noodles in both hands, turned around, and walked towards Lian Ge's table.

"Try it."

After putting down the two bowls of noodles, the old man sat down on another bench beside Lian Ge and the table, smiled and said something to Lian Ge and them again.

Beside, Gu Xiaoying looked at the old man, and did not move the chopsticks that were placed in the bamboo tube beside the table, then turned her head and looked at Lian Ge,

The old man looked at Gu Xiaoying's appearance, smiled on his face, and didn't say anything.

"Eat, it's okay."

Lian Ge glanced at the old man, then turned his head, smiled slightly at Gu Xiaoying, said something aloud, reached out and took two pairs of chopsticks, and handed one of them to Gu Xiaoying,

Gu Xiaoying reached out to take the chopsticks, looked at the old man and Lian Ge, took some noodles from the noodle bowl, and tasted them.

"what about the taste?"

The old man laughed, looked at Gu Xiaoying, and asked aloud.

"delicious."

Gu Xiaoying responded.

"what about the taste?"

Hearing Gu Xiaoying's answer, the old man showed a smile, then turned his gaze to Lian Ge, and asked again with a smile,

Glancing at the old man, Lian Ge took the chopsticks, picked up the noodle, and tasted it.

"good."

Smiling, Lian Ge looked at the old man and said something.

"Whether you can talk, you kid, depends on how well your wife can talk..."

The old man laughed and cursed at Lian Ge,

"...But it's really barely okay, isn't it sweet?"

After the old man laughed and cursed, the smile on his face gradually faded, and he looked at Lian Ge and asked aloud.

"Sweet."

Nodding his head, Lian Ge smiled slightly, responded, picked up the chopstick noodles, and handed it to the little white mouse on his shoulder.

The little white mouse looking at the face with greedy eyes stood upright with its forelimbs, held the face with its paws, and stuffed it into its mouth.

"Quite spiritual."

Looking at the little white mouse on Lian Ge's shoulder, the old man smiled and said something out loud.

He turned his head again and looked at the street.

The streets were still bustling with pedestrians, stall owners were hawking, and people stopped and stopped from time to time.

Children chasing each other, adults greeting each other, couples doing housework, talking to each other,

Everyone has a smile on their face, laughing, happy,

"How do you feel here?"

Turning his head again, the old man looked at Lian Ge and asked.

"It's so beautiful."

Lian Ge turned his gaze, glanced at the street, and said something out loud.

"...Yeah, it's so beautiful..."

The old man was silent for a while, nodded his head, responded, and looked at the bustling streets again, and fell silent.

At this time, except for the street lamp on the top of the noodle stall, the whole street seemed to be much darker.

It's just that the bustling pedestrians on the street still don't seem to notice it, and there seem to be some laughter coming from a long distance away.

Chapter 717 Sorry, Happy

"...Let's go, the old lady is still in the house waiting to buy vegetables and go home."

The street lamp next to the noodle stall was on, and some lights were swaying down, reflecting the figures of the people at the table.

The two bowls of noodles on the table were still lingering with some hot air, rising up against the street lamps, casting the shadow of curling mist on the table.

At the table, Lian Ge put down his chopsticks, looked at the old man, and said nothing more.

Gu Xiaoying beside him looked at the old man, then at Lian Ge, and sat aside without saying a word.

The old man raised his head slightly and remained silent.

Outside the street lamps outside the noodle stall, where the lights can be illuminated, on the dimmed streets, pedestrians are still bustling.

From time to time, some people with smiles on their faces walked by the side of the noodle stall, outside the reflected lights, and some voices rang in the ears of several people at the noodle stall and at the table.

……

"...It's so perfect... Perfect..."

The old man sat at the table, looked at the figures passing by the noodle stall, murmured, and repeated himself,

Turning his head and looking at Lian Ge, the old man turned his head again and looked at the figures passing by outside the noodle stall on the street.

"...He lived alone all his life. When he went out, no one said goodbye, and when he was outside, no one would wait for him in the house."

Looking at the pedestrians who just passed by, the old man said aloud.

Listening to the old man's narration, Lian Ge turned his eyes and looked at the pedestrians passing by outside the noodle stall.

The person who passed by before was an old man, wearing thin clothes, with a smile on his face, carrying a bag with some vegetables in his hand, and he was gradually walking away.

……

"...Hahaha, I ran here first..."

A few children who were still holding candied haws in their hands ran past the noodle stall and stopped one after another.

The kid running in the front was wearing a hospital gown, with a happy face, talking to the kids next to him.

"...You are amazing... Let's play hide and seek..."

"……it is good!"

A child panted heavily, and proposed again, and the child in hospital clothes agreed happily.

"...In his life, he was weak and sick from birth until he died of illness, and he never left the hospital. There is a community behind the hospital. In the courtyard of the community, there are often children playing around. He is in the hospital building through the window. Go to the ward and watch."

The old man looked at the child in the hospital gown, and spoke again.

"...Then I'll look for it first, you guys hide it. I'll catch you when I count a hundred...one..."

"... hide and seek, hide and seek..."

The child in the hospital gown turned around, closed his eyes, and counted, while the other children laughed and scattered around,

"...I'm here to find you..."

The child finished counting and was happy, playing with other children on the street.
