Ordinary people's rice bowl

Chapter 51
Xiaojuan’s homeroom teacher is Mr. Zhang Yong from Zhangji Village. Mr. Zhang Yong is in his 40s. He has a beard and looks fierce. In fact, he is kind-hearted and treats students kindly. open".According to her seniority, the bearded Zhang still calls her cousin. Since Xiaojuan's grades have improved significantly these days, she has been highly valued by the bearded Zhang. Recently, she has been praised in class a lot, and even mentioned class role model position.

On the day of the holiday, Xiaojuan went to Teacher Zhang Yong's office.

"Mr. Zhang, I think..." Xiaojuan paused after half a sentence, looking at Teacher Zhang Yong's face and wanting to smile.Teacher Zhang Yong has not shaved his face due to the busy farming at home in recent days, and the beard on his face is black and shiny. Xiaojuan feels a bit like a villain in a movie when he looks closely.

"If you have anything to say, just tell me!" The bearded man waved his hand and continued, "Why are you still hesitating? What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing, I just want to use the classroom to study during the holiday, do you think it's okay?" Xiaojuan crossed her fingers and twisted her body.

The bearded Zhang looked at her cute appearance, and thought for a while. It stands to reason that Xiaojuan is not a precedent for borrowing classrooms during holidays. Every year during holidays, there are students in the village who borrow classrooms. Even if he didn’t come to school to study during holidays ?Such things should be encouraged.

"Okay, I'll give you a key, just to remind you, you must check and close the doors and windows every day, so that you don't lose anything!" The bearded Zhang was very satisfied with the recent performance of the little girl in front of him, so he raised the question to Xiaojuan. The holiday study that came out did not generate any objection.After speaking, he took out a key from the drawer and handed it to Xiaojuan.

"I remember what you said, and I will definitely close the doors and windows of the classroom!" Xiaojuan promised.

After getting the key, Xiaojuan wrote a note and handed it to Mu Zhen when no one was around. Mu Zhen thought it was another problem with her studies, so she opened it immediately and read on it: "I have already asked for the key to the classroom. , don’t forget to come to school during the holidays, I will wait for you here at the time of class every day!”

Mu Zhen was shocked by Xiao Juan's actions, and looked at her fixedly. What Mu Zhen couldn't think of was that it was just like a joke, but Xiao Juan took it seriously, and it has become a reality. This action is indeed true. Mu Zhen really didn't dare to underestimate the short young lady in front of her.

Seeing Mu Zhen's dazed eyes, Xiao Juan was a little dazed, and couldn't help asking: "What's wrong with you?"

"No, it's nothing, I'm just thinking how amazing you are!" What Mu Zhen said was also what he was thinking, but Xiaojuan felt a little uncomfortable hearing this, and asked back: "Are you mocking me?"

"How come, I thought you wanted to come to school during the holidays, but you can misuse this classroom. It's really incredible!" Mu Zhen raised her thumb.

"Hey! Why do I think so! I asked my uncle about this yesterday. He has a very good relationship with our class teacher's family. I heard from my uncle that when the bearded Zhang went to school, my uncle helped him a lot. home, that's why this matter is so easy!" Xiaojuan said a little proudly.

"When the time comes, call Zhang Ran and Liu Xuchang together!" Mu Zhen felt that she was a little girl, alone in the classroom, so she reminded her to find some companions.

"Just my cousin, can he be studying here?" Xiaojuan was very reluctant, so she spoke the truth.

Mu Zhen nodded as if catering to her: "That's right, if I have time, I will definitely come to school to study!"

Xiaojuan stretched out her hand and pointed out her little finger to say, "Take a hook!"

Mu Zhen smiled: "Still playing this kid's trick?"

Even so, Mu Zhen stretched out her little finger, pulled it, and quickly withdrew her hand.

The holidays have begun, and as Mu Zhen said, she is the boss, and the work of the farm is already inseparable from him.According to the law, he is not considered an adult, but in this family, he is already considered a labor force.

In the days of Sanxia rushing to harvest, children as old as Mu Zhen, except for being the youngest in the family or being loved by their parents, are almost all used as the labor force of the family. As for the study, they have long been put on the back burner. up.

The scorching sun in June is already like a fire. The air is so dry that people standing under the sun smoke from their throats. The sweat-soaked clothes on their bodies have already been exposed to salt stains. It is not just these people who are uncomfortable. What is even more painful is bending over and pouting buttocks in the field for a day to cut wheat with a sickle. The tendons in the thighs and heels have lost their elasticity. It is difficult to squat down when standing up. The pain in the shoulders is okay. Endure, the pain in the lower back is definitely unimaginable without experiencing it personally.

After one day, Mu Zhen came home exhausted. In the evening, faced with noodles without vegetables, he drank five bowls like a tiger. This was the first time in his life that he ate so much, and also the first Once I really felt the bitterness of the peasant family.

After dinner, Mu Zhen really didn't have the strength to think about anything else. She lay on the bed and woke up until dawn. After working for several days, she didn't have time or energy to go to school again. He made a promise, but he was not allowed to think so much at this time.

It rains in the sky and the ground flows upwards, and the busy season makes people worry.An unnamed heavy rain made the busy people take a breather. When the people who had just had lunch looked at the heavy rain from the sky with sad faces, Mu Zhen was particularly energetic. He was going to school to fulfill his promise. promise.When the raindrops became small, he told his mother that he was going to school, and hurried out of the house with an umbrella.

Mu Zhen didn't know whether Xiaojuan was at school or not, it was hard for him to tell, even if she wasn't there, he had to go to school to confirm, otherwise there would be no chance at all, and he really couldn't get away these few days. The daily field work not only takes up a lot of my time, but also has no time to take care of anything in my studies.Mu Zhen walked faster and faster, if it wasn't for the slippery ground after the rain, he would have been running almost the whole time.At this time, Mu Zhen has long forgotten the fatigue caused by work, and what is replaced in her head is how anxious Xiaojuan at the school is waiting. At school, he wanted to see how she could explain the hard work of the past few days so anxiously.

The small side door of the school was open, and Lao Liu, the gatekeeper in the reception room, was not there. Taking this opportunity, Mu Zhen ran a few steps. When she was approaching the door of Xiaojuan's classroom, she heard voices coming from inside, and Mu Zhen was startled. , why is Xiaojuan not alone in it, who else is there?
Mu Zhen pricked up her ears and listened carefully.There were two people arguing inside.

"Don't play hooligans here, if you are shameless, I will call someone!" This was Xiaojuan's voice.

"I'm a hooligan. I heard all your conversations with that kid. I know you want to wait for him here. Don't think that no one knows about your good deeds!" A boy's voice.

"You're talking nonsense, what's wrong with me, you're playing a hooligan, and you're slandering me, who do you think you are, don't come over here, if you go any further, I'll call someone!" Xiaojuan's voice was a little hasty, obviously Xiaojuan was a little off. Do not leave.

"You scream, you scream, in this rainy day, you won't come even if you shout your voice out, besides, I just want to hug you, why should you be so serious? If you are disobedient, I will take you with that kid Shake it out!" The man's unscrupulous threatening voice was accompanied by unbearable insults.

"I'm still afraid that you won't succeed. If you dare to insult me ​​today, I will let you crawl out!" Xiaojuan was obviously threatening him.

When Mu Zhen heard the insult from the man inside, her head was a little big, and the blood rushed straight to her forehead. Before the umbrella could be put away, she kicked the door open with her feet. He saw the boy's face clearly: "So you are here, you said just now who?"

Mu Zhen recognized this boy. The boy's name was Wang Qiang, and everyone called him Qiangzi. His father, Wang Wuzun, used to work at the tractor station of the commune. And there was a broken tractor that drove like a train roaring when he went out, showing a very airy look.Just in line with the old adage that like father, like son, the three sons are all filthy "characters". , and I don’t want to say a word, which further fueled the air of Wang Wuzun’s three unsatisfactory sons.

Seeing Mu Zhen who kicked the door in, the boy was stunned for a moment, and immediately pretended to be calm: "I'm talking about you! What's the matter?" He looked complacent, which seemed to Mu Zhen very disgusting, so he didn't think much about it. , directly raised his fist and smashed it.

The two fought together, Xiaojuan just wanted to blow him away, but she didn't expect that Mu Zhen, who came out halfway, was really unambiguous, rushing over like a tiger descending a mountain, Xiaojuan didn't expect that Mu Zhen would know these three-legged cats In time, Xiaojuan grabbed Qiangzi's collar from behind and helped Mu Zhen overturn Qiangzi on the desk. Mu Zhen held him down: "You talk nonsense, I can't spare you!" Ba slapped it over, "See if you're still stubborn?" Qiangzi struggled to get up, jumped to the door, seeing that he couldn't gain any advantage, pointed at Mu Zhen and said, "Wait, kid, I'm not finished with you!" Open the door and run out.

Looking at Mu Zhen's appearance just now, Xiaojuan admired Mu Zhen's courage even more. She would never have thought that this fight would be the seed of disaster for the two of them.
