Chapter 134 Gu Xiaoxia’s Suitor
After coming out of the department store, Li Long returned to the big yard, got on his bicycle, packed the chickens and eggs, pushed the cart out, locked the door, got on the bike and rode back. .
In late March, the spring breeze was still a bit cold, but for Li Long, this was no longer a big deal. It was 20 to 30 degrees below zero than before when he went to dig holes in the ice to fish, or waded through knee-deep ice. It is much more comfortable to go to the mountains to chop wood in the snow.
He hummed the song all the way and left the county with a gust of wind. Occasionally you can see people on foot and people driving horse-drawn carriages on the road. Although there are ruts on the road, no trucks are seen.
Li Long rode his bicycle to the rural middle school. No one was watching at the entrance of the middle school, so he turned in on his bicycle. It was time for class now, and he remembered that Gu Xiaoxia was teaching Chinese in the first grade of junior high school.
Before entering the classroom, Li Long was stopped by a man in his fifties. Li Long vaguely remembered that this man was a janitor of a middle school. He stopped and said proactively:
"I'm here. Find Gu Xiaoxia, live in the same village as her, and bring her something."
Looking at Li Long riding a bicycle - he can do it these days. People riding bicycles are not ordinary people. The school guard said kindly, "Teacher Gu has finished her morning class. Now in the dormitory, you ride forward, turn left and ride until you reach the end. The third bungalow in the row is there." "
"Thank you!" Li Long said and rode his bicycle to the teacher's dormitory.
Before Li Long reached the teachers' dormitory, he heard a man's voice over there.
"Teacher Gu, is it inconvenient for you to live here alone? My home is in the countryside. Let's do this. I will bring you some meat and vegetables tomorrow. It's not nutritious to eat these multi-grain noodles, steamed buns and pickles every day!
Now we must teach and educate people well to realize the four modernizations. Without good My body is not good!”
“Teacher Lin, thank you for your kindness, but I don’t need it. I can just eat this. Now I have to prepare for the lesson. Please don’t disturb me.”< br>
Li Long heard that this Teacher Lin was "intentionally evil".
He saw Gu Xiaoxia at the door of the dormitory. Teacher Lin was not far in front of her, and she obviously had no intention of leaving.
Li Long shouted from a distance:
"Xiaoxia, I'm here to see you."
When Gu Xiaoxia saw Li Long, there was a touch of surprise on her face, and then she blushed a little - she was shy. .
"Li Long, why are you here?"
Li Long got out of the car at the door of the dormitory, propped up the bicycle, took something out of his bag and handed it over:
"I went to the county to do errands today. I saw this beautiful scarf in the department store. I thought it would look good on you, so I bought it. Come on, try it!"
Gu Xiaoxia wanted to refuse, but saw that it would look good on you. Seeing Li Long's eyes and thinking about Teacher Lin's attitude, she took it and said softly:
"Thank you!"
Teacher Lin suddenly felt a little embarrassed here.
But he was a little unconvinced. He forced a smile on his face, stretched out his hand and said:
"Hello, I am a colleague of Teacher Gu. My name is Lin Bingwen. You are..."
"I am a fellow villager of Xiaoxia. We are from the same village." Li Long shook hands with him and smiled. Said, "Teacher Lin should have been teaching in school for a long time, right? Thank you very much." You take care of Xiaoxia. She has just arrived at school. If there is something she doesn’t understand, please help me..."
Li Long said "you" because he saw someone in the dormitory next to him. A female teacher about thirty years old heard the noise and came out.
Gu Xiaoxia lowered her head, and she felt a little miraculous when she saw Li Long facing the middle school teacher with ease. He is from the village! When the parents of the students came over and saw the teachers from the city, none of them were very formal and even spoke in a flattering way.
Li Long now seems to have no difference in status at all, and he even always takes the initiative when speaking. When did he become like this?
But thinking about what Li Long has done in the past two months, it seems so natural.
Lin Bingwen did not expect that Li Long did not regard him as a "love rival" at all. He acted as Gu Xiaoxia's own person throughout the whole process, leaving him unable to start.
I am a decent teacher and a public servant, but I can’t do anything with a piece of clay!
"It's almost noon," Li Long looked at the sun and said, "Let's go to the village canteen for dinner. I'll treat you and thank you for Xiaoxia."
He turned to look at the female teacher at the door of another dormitory and said:
"Teacher, let's come together."
"No, no." The female teacher smiled and waved her hand, "You guys Go ahead, I won’t go. Xiaoxia has been working very hard during this time, and she really needs to make up for herself.”
When she said this, Li Long looked into Gu Xiaoxia’s house and saw it. one The small stove and the steamed buns with mixed noodles placed on the table next to her pretended to be angry and said:
"Xiaoxia, you can't just eat these? How about this? I'll bring you some meat tomorrow if you want to eat it. It’s better to be nutritious. I seemed to have heard what Teacher Lin said just now. He was right. Only by taking good care of yourself can you teach and educate people well and contribute to the early realization of the four modernizations!”
< br>
Seeing Li Long saying such old-fashioned words, Gu Xiaoxia couldn't help but almost laughed out loud.
"You go ahead, I still have classes, so I won't go." Lin Bingwen also wanted to be embarrassed, leaving a word, turned around and left.
In the end, Li Long still failed to go to the countryside for dinner with Gu Xiaoxia, but he took Gu Xiaoxia to the sales department in the countryside to buy some things.
"You are here alone. The relationship between your family and mine is like this. You said that I saw you eating steamed buns. Can you think about how I feel?" When Gu Xiaoxia didn't let Li Long buy anything. , Li Long put the words there:
"Tomorrow I will bring you some fish and some meat, and I will leave some eggs for you. I won't keep the chickens for you, and you won't keep them either. Will do.
I will come early tomorrow, and you can share some of the fish I brought for you with the teacher next door, just as a token of my gratitude. When you live alone outside, you must learn to take care of yourself and don't fool around. ”
Sitting on the back seat of Li Long’s bicycle, listening to this young man about her own age talking about similar words that her father once said, at this moment, Gu Xiaoxia wanted to laugh, but she felt Sweet.
Li Long bought two large packages of chicken cakes for Gu Xiaoxia in the sales department, and also bought a can of hot sauce and a can of red tofu. If Gu Xiaoxia had not refused, he would have bought more. .
Sent Gu Xiaoxia back to school and left her six eggs. Li Long felt that he had to prepare the things he brought when he went back. It was normal when he thought about it. Gu Xiaoxia had never traveled far since she was so old, and she was worried about her father. The month has not come yet, so he will definitely save money on food and clothing.
He suddenly realized, did he regard Gu Xiaoxia as his target?
Yeah?
Is it... right?
It seems that Gu Xiaoxia is not so resistant... So, continue?
Li Long didn't think much about it and just let nature take its course. Actually... it's pretty good.
Back home, Liang Yuemei was making lunch. What surprised Li Long was that Tao Daqiang had already picked up the four nets.
Li Long put the roosters, hens and eggs into the kitchen, and Liang Yuemei complained a few more times. Li Long smiled and said:
"It's time for the two children to recuperate. How many days will this hen last?" Maybe I can have a brood of chickens and keep them.”
Liang Yuemei actually wanted to raise chickens, but her family’s conditions did not allow it before. Now that Li Long has bought them, let’s raise them. Her brother-in-law became more and more sensible and spent so much money on the family, which made Liang Yuemei feel a little guilty.
Tao Daqiang and Li Jianguo came back together. But what surprised Li Long was that his shoes and hair were all wet.
Did you fall into the water?
