Ronin: Start with the cotton

Chapter 258 Childhood Memories
It wasn't until the backs of the crowd disappeared that Ma Haohan stepped off the stage in frustration.

Hu Sheng beside him looked at Haohan with admiration, and whispered, "Brother Qiao Shan, Brother Haohan is so amazing!"

In his eyes, Haohan, who is different from others, is handsome and tall at the moment!

……

Qiao Shan patted Hu Sheng on the shoulder, but said nothing.

Hu Sheng is the youngest of the four of them. He is only 24 years old this year. Like him, he is an "indigenous" who has never left the island. The farthest place he has been to is only the slightly larger Miaozi Island next door.

Haohan, who has been in the mainland for many years, is the idol that Hu Sheng admires.

Unfortunately, what he doesn't know is that Ma Haohan has been wandering around for many years, but he has only worked as a taxi driver for three years and a kindergarten security guard for one year.

But compared to those fishermen who go fishing, maybe taxi driver is also a promising career.

"Haohan, let's go!"

Qiao Shan said again.

Ma Haohan looked up at the two of them, like a wilted eggplant, and asked weakly: "Dashan, what should we do to keep everyone."

Qiao Shan was silent for a while, then said: "Go and see Jiang He, he is leaving too."

……

The three came to Dongji Central School.

Before he got there, he saw Jiang He cleaning the yard slowly.

Although it is called a central school, it is actually just a simple elementary school. Several minimalist high-tiled brick buildings are connected to each other. Outside is a courtyard wall made of sea-burning stones that is one person high.

There are no playgrounds and no amusement parks.

In the backyard of the high-walled tile-roofed building, there is a small two-story teaching building, but as the island's population has decreased in recent years, it has long been abandoned.

Over the past ten years, the number of students in Dongji Primary School has become less and less, because there is only primary school here, and the junior high school has to go to Miaozi Island, only there is a middle school.

As a result, the elementary school that originally had a few teachers, gradually left only Jiang He alone.

……

Jiang He is about 1.8 meters tall, with a thin body, wearing a pair of round-frame glasses, with mid-length hair, thick eyebrows and sharp eyes, giving him a handsome young man's appearance.But with the embarrassing stubble on his face, wearing an old ascetic sweater jacket, and the decadent atmosphere exuding from his whole body, you can tell at a glance that this is an introverted and honest man.

Shua~ Shua——

Jiang He patiently and slowly took the broom and carefully cleaned the elementary school.

"Teacher Jiang! Here we come!"

Hu Sheng shouted happily.

Hu Sheng is a natural optimist. Although he is also worried about not wanting to move away, but unlike Hao Han's full of ambitions, his IQ and experience do not allow him to be sad all the time.

No, after only a few minutes, he forgot about the relocation.

After all, he is a child and cannot hide the thoughts of adults.

……

"It's you..."

Jiang He's voice was a little lazy, which matched his decadent image very well.

Pushing his glasses, Jiang He subtly smiled at Qiao Shan and the three of them inwardly, put the broom in his hand against the wall, clapped his hands, pointed to the small flashing light he had just hung up, and asked in a low voice :
"How is it? Does it look good?"

"It looks good!" Hu Sheng affirmed.

Jiang He smiled faintly again, stuffed his hands into his pockets, looked back at the elementary school in front of him, heaved a sigh of relief, and said slowly without seeing his emotions:
"It's a pity that I bought it a little late, and it was just hung up, so the students couldn't see it."

Ma Haohan scratched his head, feeling complicated, then took out a cigarette and stuffed it into his mouth, and was about to light it, but seeing Jiang He's expressionless glance, he said speechlessly: "Isn't there no students? ah?"

"Oh! Forget it! Don't smoke if you don't smoke!"

Ma Haohan reluctantly stuffed the off-brand cigarettes back.

Jiang He turned sideways and said with a slight smile, "Come in and chat, it's windy outside."

……

"Ha! It's all memories!"

Walking into the room, looking at the old and mottled desks and stools, and the layout, Ma Haohan was deeply moved. He suddenly looked back at Qiao Shan, pointed to one of the seats and said:
"Dashan! Remember that location?"

Qiao Shan smiled and said, "Zhou Mo! Of course I remember, your seat is right behind her. I still remember that you stuck chewing gum in her hair, and she reported it to the teacher, and punished you to apologize in front of the whole class."

"Hey! You don't expose your faults!" Jiang He said angrily.

He and Qiao Shan are about the same age, one was born in 1983 and the other was born in 1984, Qiao Shan is one year older than Ma Haohan.

However, because Qiao Shan was weak when he was a child and went to school late, the two were classmates in the same grade.

At the same level is the little slug girl Zhou Mo. At that time, Qiao Shan's seat was in front of Zhou Mo, and Hao Han's seat was behind Zhou Mo. Because Hao Han always made Zhou Mo cry, and the two were neighbors, they were often called Zhou Mo's parents came to him, and Haohan would be beaten up by his grandfather.

This is a childhood memory that belongs exclusively to Qiao Shan and Ma Haohan.

Hu Sheng was three or four years younger than them. He was born in 1987. At that time, he was just able to run, hadn't been weaned, and naturally hadn't gone to school.

Although Jiang He was one year older than Qiao Shan, he was not from the island. He was an elementary school teacher assigned after graduating from high school, and he didn't know everyone at that time.

……

"Zhou Mo... I haven't seen her for several years, and I won't come here during the Chinese New Year. I think her house is deserted."

Ma Haohan sighed, was silent for a moment, walked around the old classroom, suddenly looked at Qiao Shan and said with a smile:

"Speaking of it, it's clear that Zhou Mo and I are childhood sweethearts, and the two are neighbors. She also liked me when she was a child. But why did she suddenly dislike me after entering the third grade of elementary school, and instead ran after you every day?"

Qiao Shan: "..."

You still remember this!
Although it is a false memory instilled by the heavenly book, it is indeed the same as what Haohan said. Since the third grade of elementary school, Zhou Mo has "transferred love" to "myself".

For this reason, Qiao Shan and Ma Haohan even had a "brother crisis".

Thinking of this, Qiao Shan couldn't help laughing.

"I suddenly recalled one thing..." Qiao Shan looked at the flagpole outside and Hu Sheng who was beside him, and suddenly broke the news:

"Hu Sheng, do you know how 'glamorous' Haohan was when he was a child?"

"While the teacher wasn't paying attention, he ran outside to the playground and climbed up the flagpole and couldn't get off. He stayed on it for a full class. When the bell rang, he jumped down with the help of everyone's schoolbags, mats, and bedding... And in the process of jumping, I even caught the little bird! Haha!"

Ma Haohan's face turned black: Ma Dan!Didn't you say it's okay not to mention it?
When Qiao Shan said this, Haohan couldn't help but slapped the table, cursing and saying: "You still say! If you didn't bring Master Hu's camera to school, I would have been hung up in "The Style of the Township" to flog the corpse!"

"The Style of the Township" is a special newspaper on the island. At that time, transportation was inconvenient and television was not popular, so this kind of self-run island newspaper was popular.However, because there are too few new things on the island, the parents are short-tempered, whoever quarrels, and whoever goes out to sea to catch a good harvest will all be written in the newspaper and published for everyone to read.

It is similar to the big horn of the village chief's house.

"Ma Erdan Climbs the Flagpole in Class, Teachers and Students of the School Unite to Rescue the Emergency" is the front page of one of the newspaper issues, and because Qiao Shan brought the camera that Boxer Hu bought to school that time, this is also a special edition with photos .

The image of Ma Haohan's pants being caught by the flagpole, and the bird flying in the wind.

It is still deeply etched in the minds of fishermen on the island.
