Chapter 328 Reborn 1980 as a Supporting Teacher (4)
Old-fashioned car doors are rusted, especially when it is raining and it is even more difficult to open and close.
The driver and Zhao Jianguo were preparing to push the car out of the mud pit together, coupled with the pulling force of the livestock in front, so this time it was not as strenuous as last time.
Ling Lian was going to get out of the car to help, but the car door seemed to be broken no matter how hard she pulled it, there were already a few tiny cracks in the handle, Ling Lian was afraid that she would break the car handle of the car again Cut, so I can only let it go.
But fortunately, the two moved quickly this time, and it was over in less than two or three minutes.
The driver and Zhao Jianguo got back into the car one after another.
After sitting in the driver's seat, the driver wiped the rainwater off his face, smiled and said to the two people in the back seat: "We are lucky this time! There is a small village nearby, where three or four people live. My family, I heard that we are going to the countryside to support education, and they are willing to come and help us! Those mules, donkeys and sheep are usually used to pull wooden carts, so they can also pull our tin cart. Hehe, We will definitely be able to reach the village today."
The villagers in the front used fertilizer bags as simple raincoats, and drove their livestock and pulled the car forward on the concrete floor. The driver started the car behind and walked slowly and carefully, for the sake of the livestock Pulling the car saves some effort.
On the mountain road of more than ten miles, the villagers just walked slowly with their heads buried in the rain.After nearly two hours, the car was pulled to the village deep in the mountains.
Those people didn't ask for any reward. When they went back, they simply waved at the driver, then turned around and disappeared into the night.
"Although the countryside is poor, there are still many good people." The driver sighed.
The village Ling Lian was going to was scattered with more than a dozen families. There was a section of road paved with dry corn stalks at the entrance of the village, so the car was not afraid of getting stuck in the road again.
The road after that was much wider, and it was all made of hard mud by people's feet. Even if there was water, it would not turn into a puddle of thin and soft mud.
The driver parked the car in front of a house.
The small concrete house is surrounded by a waist-length fence. In the yard formed by the fence, a group of chickens, ducks and geese are crowded in a small nest made of firewood, revealing a pair of small round His eyes looked curiously at the guests who arrived on this rainy day.
The people in the house heard the movement, put on a piece of clothing and hurriedly got off the kang, opened the door and stood at the door to greet him.
As soon as Ling Lian got out of the car and ran a few steps, he saw the door of the cement room was opened, and a hunchbacked old man with a cane stood at the door, looking forward to it.
After everyone entered the house, the old man closed the door behind him and told the three of them to go to the stove to warm up.
Ling Lian saw the whole house at a glance. The small house was less than a dozen square meters, and there was a kang that took up one-third of the room. Next to the kang was a stove with two large pots. Stove with a big pot of water still hot on it
On the opposite side of the kang is a half-waist-high cabinet. There are bowls and chopsticks on one side of the cabinet, and miscellaneous hardware such as screwdriver iron boxes on the other. In addition, there is a closed iron door, and there is nothing else after that.
The old man opened the iron door and dragged out a few stools made of rattan, motioning for a few people to sit down.
Behind the iron gate is another small room, in which various feeds for livestock and rice noodles and leaves for people are piled up, and there are several piles of firewood in the corner.
The old lady who was sewing in the corner on the kang smiled shyly at them when she saw Linglian and his party.Next to her was a snoring civet cat, sleeping soundly, and no one in the house bothered to look up.
Next to the stove lay a little soil dog. At first, he didn't dare to get close to strangers, and barked a few times like a bravado.Seeing that the old man began to talk to those people kindly, it obsequiously leaned over and rubbed against the trousers of the people, wanting to be petted.
"Last month, someone from the village came back from the city and said that it will take some time for you to come." The old man smiled a little embarrassedly, "It's raining again today, I thought you wouldn't come, I didn't expect...Look at this... …When the teachers came, we didn’t even entertain any good things here…I knew I would have slaughtered the pigs here, but now it’s too late…”
"It's okay, the people in the city don't pay attention to this kind of etiquette." The driver said.
Zhao Jianguo also nodded beside him, which was regarded as approval.
The driver said that the old man was the head of the village. Despite the small number of people in this village, this is actually a town, and those who go to the market and sing operas do their business here.The rest of the families are scattered deep in the mountains, and they only come to participate in the market. There are quite a lot of people in this village, but they are too scattered.
"No way, there is not much flat land here, and there are fields to cultivate and grow food, so we can only spread out and find a good place to live. This is how our ancestors came down from generation to generation." The village chief said.
Several people gathered together to greet each other, and after the polite words, the village chief said that now the village is going to build a primary school, and the children will come here to go to school in the future. Linglian and Zhao Jianguo live in the room next to the school.
But now the primary school has not been built yet...
As if he was afraid that the two teachers, Ling Lian and Zhao Jianguo, would have some prejudices, the old village chief hurriedly said, "It can't be said that it hasn't been built, but it's almost finished, wait a week at most, just a week! Teachers, don’t worry...there’s the salary. I’ve inquired about it. A teacher’s monthly salary in other places is...70 yuan...but you also know that we are really poor here and can’t afford that much money. …I heard that those teachers were unwilling to come because we were too poor. Now that two of you have come, I really don’t know how to thank you. I always feel that we owe you, if you have any demands in the village , just mention it! We will try our best to satisfy you!"
In the end, after the driver negotiated among them, Linglian and Zhao Jianguo's wages were finally settled at 20 yuan a month plus fifty native eggs, one chicken and one duck.
Seeing that the negotiation was finally settled, the old village chief breathed a sigh of relief, slapped his head and said: "Look at me, I'm a fool! You haven't eaten yet! It's been a hard journey, so I can't make things difficult for you guys." Hurry up, old woman! Why are you still sitting there, come down and cook for others!"
"Oh." The old woman nodded, and hastily put down her sewing work and climbed down from the kang.
The old man is getting old, his legs and feet are not flexible, and the kang is high, and the posture of getting off the kang is so strenuous that Ling Lian can't help but want to go up and hug him down.
