Chapter 446 New Teacher
Zhang An walked over and took a look. The tire on the left rear was really punctured with nails, and there were more than one punctured.
"Hey, when did you discover that the tires were worn like this? If you keep driving for a while, the wheels will probably be scrapped."
The tires at this time are already shriveled. It was out of air and the rubber tires were worn out.
Fortunately, they stopped in time, otherwise the wheels of the car would have been destroyed and it would have been dangerous for the people in the car.
“Actually, we discovered it just now, but none of us know how to change it, so we thought about holding on a little longer and seeing if we could find a car repair shop. We just drove all the way and didn’t even see anyone. "
One of the four girls responded awkwardly.
Had they not discovered an abnormal noise later and saw that the tires were completely deflated when they got out of the car, they would have thought of holding on for a while.
"You are not locals. We are in the countryside. There are only repair shops in the county or at the entrance of the town. You will definitely not find them halfway."
Distance on the county road Although it is far away, there are not many cars passing by, usually just dump trucks and urban and rural shuttle buses, and very few private cars.
In the past, there were actually some buns, but after the railway station in Hongyan Town was opened, these buns basically went to other places.
Under such circumstances, naturally no one is willing to open a repair shop on this stretch of road.
After all, no one is a fool. With so little traffic, business must be bad.
“We are students from the city’s Normal College. We just graduated this year and were assigned to a school here, so we made an appointment to come over in advance to play for a while, just as we came over in advance to get familiar with it.”
< br>Although they are all girls, they don’t look shy and introverted at all.
Every time I talk to Zhang An and the others, they look calm and generous.
“It turned out to be a glorious people’s teacher, so now I need to help even more.”
Because Su Ying is a teacher, Zhang An has some affinity for this industry. .
"Where is the spare tire? Let me put it on for you first. As for the broken tire, when you guys get to town, go find a repair shop to repair it and let them replace it."
"Then I'll bother you two, the tires are in the trunk."
The leading girl said, then opened the trunk, and sure enough there was a tire inside.
"By the way, are you all grouped together? Is it a school in the county or a town?"
Zhang An effortlessly took out the spare tire and squatted down Disassembly and replacement began on the ground.
“Well, we are all assigned to the same school, but it is not in the county. They don’t have a big gap this year, so as long as the graduates of the provincial normal school, we can only be assigned to the townships, but the red Yanzhen Middle School is not recruiting students this year, so we were assigned to Changqing Middle School, which seems to be a rural middle school.”
At this point, several girls were a little disappointed.
They never thought about being assigned to the county town, as long as they felt that it was fine in the township.
But now that I am assigned to a rural school, no one will be happy if I change.
"Hey, isn't it a coincidence? We are all from Changqing Village."
Zhang An did not expect such a coincidence. Several people he met on the road turned out to be... He was the future teacher of the village, and he couldn't help but stop disassembling it in his hands.
But he is not very surprised, because this year Changqing Middle School will open new grades one and two, and there will definitely be a large number of teachers to recruit for the positions.
"Is there such a coincidence?"
Zhang An was not surprised, but it was the girls' turn to look surprised.
A few people's faces were a little red and a little embarrassed.
Because they were just complaining about being assigned to a rural school, but they didn't expect that people from their village were here.
However, I also have some expectations for the village of Changqing. After all, a village that can drive two cars should not be too bad.
"Speaking of which, the guy from my family goes to the same school as you, so you can get acquainted."
As he said that, Zhang An shouted to Su Ying in the car, Su Ying heard that He also got out of the car.
"Daughter-in-law, they are all new teachers assigned to your school."
"This is my wife Su Ying. I estimate that you will be colleagues working together in the near future."< br>
Zhang An didn’t know many of the girls, he just introduced them briefly.
Suddenly, these people chatted with Su Ying.
It was only when Su Ying became familiar with them that Zhang An knew their names.
The taller one with long hair is the owner of this car, and the girl driving the car is named Jiang Qiong.
The person who stopped Zhang An and the others on the road just now is called Liu Xia.
One of the remaining two people is from the same family as Zhang An, named Zhang Xiao.
The last and smallest girl with short hair is called Chen Lili, who is also Chen Ze’s parent.
While the girls were chatting together, Zhang An and Chen Ze quickly helped them change the tires.
"Okay, the tires have been changed. I'll put the broken tire in your trunk. Remember to find someone to repair it when you go to town later."
Because of the spare tire The diameter and width are slightly smaller than the original tires. For safe driving, they can only be replaced for a short time and cannot be used for a long time.
"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Zhang and Brother Chen. When we go to the village tomorrow, we will have to trouble you again."
After they had inquired with Su Ying just now, they had a rough idea of the situation in the village.
It was only then that they discovered that Changqing Village was different from the small villages in the mountains they had imagined.
Whether it is the environment or other conditions, it is much better than most villages.
Especially after knowing that many B&Bs were opened in the village, they immediately decided to rent a place in the village before moving to the dormitory.
"What a big deal. When you come to the village, just come to us directly. My house is the first one at the bridge into the village. If you encounter this kind of situation in the future, don't continue driving. This is dangerous driving behavior and is not responsible for oneself or others.”
They are all talents who come to help develop and build the village, so Zhang An will not refuse.
What's more, I will work with Su Ying in the future.
"We know Brother Zhang, see you back in the village."
After a few people said goodbye to each other, waved their hands, they planned to continue on their way.
Back home, Su Ying felt a little uncomfortable, so she went to her room to rest.
Zhang An knew that she was suffering from motion sickness, and she was already pregnant with her child. The pregnancy effects plus motion sickness meant that the two trips back and forth were not very comfortable for her.
"Then you have a good rest first, and I will pour you some sour plum soup to relieve your pain."
After taking care of Su Ying to lie down, Zhang An went to the refrigerator and took out the already prepared sour plum soup. Warmed up a bit.
This sour plum soup was a prescription given to him by Zhang Yixing. Although it is a prescription, it is a good treasure for repelling heat in the hot summer.
The taste of sour plum soup can neutralize the secretions in the mouth and gastrointestinal tract, and can effectively relieve the discomfort caused by motion sickness. In addition, Su Ying has always been very acidophilic during pregnancy, so this sour plum soup is very suitable.
This is why Wang Fanghui cooks a pot of sour plum soup every day, because Su Ying likes it.
Sure enough, after drinking the sour plum soup, Su Ying's discomfort was relieved a lot.
But because I got up too early in the morning, I fell asleep quickly.
Going downstairs to the backyard, my mother Wang Fang was replanting vegetables in the vegetable field. Zhang Anshun went up to help with a hoe in hand.
Although Zhang An's vegetable garden is very large, there are many people who come to buy vegetables from their house.
So there are vacancies in the vegetable field every day. Every time there is a certain amount of vacancy, Wang Fang will replant it with new seeds.
"Mom, where is my dad? I see all the sheep are at home."
Zhang An didn't see his dad at home, so he asked in passing.
"Your father has just taken the horses to cut the grass in the nests. I have planted them here, and there are only a few nests that are not covered with mud. Please don't come over."
Wang Fang didn't let Zhang An help him, and let him do whatever he wanted.
In case there were too many people in the vegetable field, the soil she had just loosened would be stepped on again.
Zhang An, who felt that he was being disliked, had no intention of helping.
I found a sickle at home and hurried behind Zhang Jianguo.
There are many livestock in the family, including sheep, deer, pigs, deer, muntjac, etc. On the contrary, Dahei and his wife eat the least.
These guys are big grazers. Now that the peaches and cherries on the back hill have been picked, they can be let out in the orchard to graze on their own during the day.
But it is said that horses are not fat without night grass. Now Dahei and his wife cannot eat much. On the contrary, other animals in the family have to be fed closely at night.
So now every night, a lot of fodder needs to be prepared.
Not to mention the pigs and sheep at home, a certain number of them will be slaughtered during the New Year.
The remaining pigs are only over 100 kilograms now. If they are less than 200 kilograms, they have already been ordered.
In addition to Zhao Tiande from Zhaojiagou, there are also residents in the Dongli courtyard at the entrance of the village.
They all saw Zhao Tiande coming to order Zhang An to order pigs, so they also came over and ordered two.
So all the eight piglets raised by Zhang An’s family this year have been reserved.
And not only that, two of the family’s deer have been ordered this year, both from people in the Dongli yard.
After ordering pigs, I also became greedy for Zhang An’s deer, so I ordered two of them.
Of course, neither Wang Fang nor Zhang Jianguo agreed to sell the stag, but only agreed to sell a few doe deer.
Actually, they wanted to buy more deer deer, but Wang Fang and Zhang Jianguo disagreed even more.
In their eyes, this deer is more precious than other animals, and they are still waiting to get the incense.
Even the female deer is not willing to buy it, because the number of female deer in the family is small, and in the past two years, she only gave birth to one at a time.
Now that their family is not short of money, they don’t need to sell the musk.
But Wang Fang said that the musk and deer antlers are the family's wealth and will be helpful to future generations.
Zhang An didn't dare to say anything. Anyway, my mother is the emperor of the family, and whatever she says will be whatever she says.
When they arrived at the nest, Dahei was gnawing grass by himself, but his father, Zhang Jianguo, had not yet started mowing the grass.
He was standing and chatting with an old uncle on the other side, throwing the sickle aside.
The uncle on the other side came here to spread fertilizer on the seedlings in the field.
But now the two of them were enjoying themselves too much, holding a full pot of fertilizer in their hands and just standing still.
If this was seen by my mother or the uncle’s aunt on the other side, it would be strange if it was not spread.
"Hey, you are back. When did you come?"
Zhang Jianguo saw Zhang An coming and immediately stopped communicating with the old uncle.
After all, Zhang An has finished his work and boasted, so he can pat his butt and go home directly.
But the old uncle on the other side can't do it. There is only one person in the house, and his work will not be finished by then, which is somewhat harmful.
"I just came back. My mother said you were here to cut the grass, so I came over to see how much grass is left. If it's not enough, I'll plant some while it's still early."
Zhang While talking to her father, An used the sickle to harvest the green grass in the field.
“These are enough, there is no need to replant them anywhere, and as long as the roots of these grasses are not dug out, they will grow back within a few days after being cut. Look, that’s where I am. It was cut off only a few weeks ago, and now it has grown so tall.”
Zhang Jianguo is a farmer, so he would not use the land to grow grass for cattle.
They are already reluctant to part with the few acres of land they have planted now. If they plant a few more acres, it will be okay.
Although they have planted several acres of bullweed now, they only need to bring their horses over here every day, and it only takes half an hour to cut a large pile back home, which saves them the trouble of looking for grass to cut everywhere. trouble.
But their ideas have never changed. They have always believed that land should be used to grow food, and growing anything else is a waste.
For example, if these acres of land are used to grow corn, they can harvest at least tens of thousands of kilograms of corn. The animals at home cannot eat more than ten thousand kilograms of corn throughout the year. This is what they feel distressed about. .
Zhang An will not argue with his parents about this, because it is simply unnecessary.
It is really difficult for my parents to change their lifelong attitudes, even harder than quitting smoking.
Besides, his original intention of planting grass here was just to avoid possible floods this year.
The father and son worked together and cut a large pile of fresh grass in a short time.
Blow it up with a rope and put it on Dahei's back, but there are still some left.
It’s not that Dahei can’t carry it anymore. The grass looks like a lot, but it’s actually not very heavy.
It's just that the horse rack is already stacked very high. If you put it higher, the rope won't be able to tie it up.
Zhang An asked his father to lead Dahei and carry the haystack in front, while he bundled the remaining hay into a ball and carried it home.
I met many villagers along the way, and they were jealous when they saw the grass on Dahei’s back, because they also wanted to cut this grass and go home to feed their livestock.
But it was just envy, because it was not a secret in the village that Zhang An spent several acres of land growing grass to feed livestock.
In their view, this is an extremely wasteful behavior.
And the few acres of land where Zhang An grows grass have to be paid to the village every year.
