My village can't be like this

Chapter 156
At night, Zhang An was lying on the bed, ready to make a call to Su Ying.

Since Su Ying went back last time, the two of them chatted on the phone from time to time.

But it was Su Ying who called all the time, Zhang An felt that he should take the initiative now.

You can't always be someone else's girl calling yourself.

As soon as I dialed the phone, someone answered it soon. It was Wu Qiuping who answered the phone.

Knowing that Zhang An was calling her daughter, Wu Qiuping didn't tell Zhang An more.

He yelled at Su Ying's room twice, and Su Ying quickly came out of the room to answer the phone.

After Wu Qiuping cleaned up the kitchen in twos and twos, she went back to her room.

Give this place to my daughter, otherwise she will falter when she speaks.

After watching her mother leave, Su Ying was more comfortable speaking.

"What is Miss Su busy with? Why does she sound so tired?"

Zhang An listened to Su Ying's speech on the phone weakly, and he was not very interested in speaking.

"In addition to writing lesson plans and preparing lessons, there is nothing else to do, but this is too much to write."

As soon as Zhang An asked, Su Ying seemed to have found a place to vent, telling Zhang An how much headache she had now.

"I used to think that to be a teacher, you only need to take classes well, and then assign and correct homework. Who would have thought that you would have to write lesson plans during the holidays, and you would have to write so much every day."

Su Ying's school will start on March [-]st, and it's not just the students who have to hand in their winter vacation homework.

Their teachers also have to summarize the lessons prepared last year and hand them in at the beginning of school.

And also prepare for the new semester's courses.

I have to write a big book every day for the past two days.

For new teachers like them, all their lesson preparation is written by themselves.

And old teachers don't have to do this, because there are a lot of teaching plans, just find two copies at random and copy them.

"Hey, it turns out that your teacher also has winter homework."

"Who says no? What have you been up to at home these days?"

The two chatted for a while before Su Ying regained some vitality.

"Do you still remember the nest by the river that I told you last time?"

Last time on the Huangtu slope, Zhang An showed her the deserted nest.

"Yeah, I know that place."

"Our family has hoeed the grass in the past few days, and it will be plowed in a few days. We plan to plant some watermelons and strawberries this year."

Zhang An told Su Ying about his plan for this year's spring.

Although Su Ying may not know these tasks, let her know.

"Hey, I want to grow strawberries. I think strawberries are delicious, but they are too small."

Su Ying was right, the strawberries on the market are not that big, at most the size of a thumb.

"You like to eat strawberries, so I'll have more varieties. Are there many people buying strawberries in the county?"

Hearing that Su Ying liked to eat, Zhang An was quite happy.

Don't be afraid of being small. When the time comes, plant a few crops in the space first, and then select the seeds.

In this way, the strawberries grown at home will be big and delicious in the future.

"I saw a lot of people selling it in the garden in the middle of the street, and I feel that there are quite a lot of people buying it."

Su Ying thought about it. When she usually goes out, she sees a lot of people selling strawberries, and there seem to be quite a few people buying strawberries.

"By the way, we have five more puppies in our family."

Zhang An told Su Ying about Xiaohu's five children on the phone.

When Su Ying heard that the mother of these little tigers was actually a wolf in the mountains, she was shocked.

In her perception, wolves belong to textbooks.

She has only heard of it, some have seen it in textbooks, and some have seen it on TV.

In real life, she has yet to see what a real wolf looks like.

When she heard that Xiaohu had found a wolf wife, she couldn't make up her mind.

Because this is too much beyond her common sense of the world.

"How could a wolf have a baby with a dog?" Su Ying still didn't quite understand.

"What's the matter? The dogs we raise were domesticated by wolves tens of thousands of years ago. They should be regarded as distant relatives."

"And in our mountains, in the past, there were many village dogs who gave birth to wolves in the mountains, but this time it's just the other way around."

Then Su Ying seemed to think of something.

"Then these puppies are now the wolf dogs that everyone talks about."

She remembered that downstairs there was a big wolf dog raised by her uncle's house, which was big and fierce.

"No, they are not wolf dogs. Wolf dogs are a breed of dog. They are called wolf dogs only because they resemble wolves. They have nothing to do with wolves."

"Okay, so are these puppies wolves or dogs?"

"These in our family should be dogs. Their tails are all raised, and the tails of wolves are clamped."

Su Ying learned a lot of new knowledge now, Zhang An was giving her extra lessons.

Then Su Ying asked how Zhang An's little golden rooster looked.

Zhang An was a little dumbfounded, it's only been ten days.

"They haven't molted yet, it's been less than two weeks, but they've grown a lot and their tails are starting to grow."

"How long will it take for them to grow up? I'm going to see them then."

"It should take another month to grow. I don't know the details, because our family is also raising it for the first time. Anyway, I will pick you up when I grow up."

The two have been on the phone for more than 20 minutes, and the telecom bureau has to thank them for taking care of the business.

When the end was about to come, Su Ying asked Zhang An in a low voice.

"Zhang An, there will be a Lantern Festival party in the square tomorrow, you..."

When she said this, Su Ying blushed.

Although the two are playing friends now, this is the first time she has asked a boy out.

"Lantern Festival, do you want me to go there?"

Hearing what Su Ying said, Zhang Anna didn't know that Teacher Su was asking her out.

But feeling Su Ying's shy look, Zhang An wanted to tease her.

"I, you can come when you want, and you don't have to come if you don't want to."

Su Ying definitely wanted Zhang An to come, but she couldn't say it, so she just didn't say it.

"Come, come, I used to like to go to the Lantern Festival Gala, how can I not go, then I will come tomorrow afternoon."

Hearing Su Ying's tone, Zhang An knew that he couldn't play anymore.

Teacher Su in my family is not a joker.

"Uh-huh."

In the end, the two were still a little reluctant to hang up the phone.

It was because of Su Ying that Wu Qiuping came out of the room.

Looking at Su Ying who was on the phone, she had a smile that seemed to be there.

Su Ying's face turned red all of a sudden, and she hurriedly said a few words to Zhang An before hanging up the phone.

Otherwise, the two of them don't know how long the phone call will take.

"Anzi, the water is ready, come down and wash your feet."

Zhang An, who was lying in the room aftertaste, was interrupted by Wang Fang's voice.

"coming."

Zhang An who went downstairs saw his mother pouring hot water for him.

"Mom, I'll do it myself."

Zhang An took the kettle and poured it by himself, adding a lot of cold water to it by the way.

At home, the hot water Wang Fang and Zhang Jianguo used to wash their feet was extremely hot, and Zhang An couldn't get their feet off at all.

Every time you wash your feet, you have to add some cold water to it.

This also made Wang Fang tell Zhang Jianguo that he would not enjoy it, saying that washing feet in hot water is good for the body.

But the water was really hot, Zhang An had to take it out immediately after putting it in.

"By the way, mom, what's going on at our house tomorrow?"

"There's nothing to do tomorrow, just light up the lamp for your grandpa and grandma, and nothing else."

Wang Fang thought about it before telling Zhang An.

Anyway, every fifteenth is like that, and nothing else will happen.

"Okay, let's light up my grandpa and my milk first tomorrow morning. I'm going to the city in the afternoon."

Zhang An told his parents that he was going to the city.

"It's the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. What are you doing in the city?"

The family goes to the mountains every fifteenth day to light up lamps for the elderly, and they always go there in the afternoon.

Hearing that Zhang An was going to the city, Wang Fang was a little surprised.

Usually this kid doesn't go out, so why would he take the initiative to think about going out tomorrow.

"Mom, Mr. Su said that there will be a Lantern Festival party in the square tomorrow, and asked me if I want to go."

Zhang An didn't want to talk about it at first, but his mother took care of her too much.

"That's where I should go. I'll call your second uncle and third uncle later, and turn on the light for your grandma tomorrow morning."

The three families of Zhang An's family used to light up the lights together, so the arrangement was temporarily changed, so I had to tell them in advance.

Then Wang Fang looked at her bored son and began to teach him some experience.

Zhang An really couldn't bear it, and made himself look like a waste.

"That's fine. You're a boy. You should take the initiative no matter what. Find something to talk about. Don't let other girls feel bored staying with you."

Here it comes again, Zhang An patted his forehead.

"Okay mom, I see."

"Do you have enough money to spend? I'll give you more later. Don't think about saving money when you go out and play with Xiaoying."

"Don't give it to me, I have a lot of money on me, and I have nowhere to spend it."

Now Zhang An seems to have a book in his mind.

It's called "Rebirth: My Mom Taught Me to Fall in Love".

On the morning of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Wang Fang got up early and began to burn incense.

When it came to nine o'clock in the morning, Zhang An's second and third uncles also came to the house.

Last night, Wang Fang approached and suggested to go to the lamps earlier. The two families were a little surprised, why they went so early.

After questioning, I learned that Teacher Xiao Su invited Zhang An to play in the city, and now everyone has no objections.

So early in the morning, I prepared incense paper candles and came to Zhang An's house to meet.

A large family of more than a dozen people ran all morning before coming down from the mountain.

It was already noon when I came back, so I didn't clean up much at noon, and I just did something casually.

Knowing that Zhang An was not at home in the afternoon, the second aunt suggested that the uncle and the uncle's family should go to their house for dinner in the evening.

During the Chinese New Year, the three families lived at Zhang An's house, and on the last day of the year, the second aunt also wanted to invite the big guys to her home to spend together.

Everyone had no opinion on this, especially Wang Fang and Zhang Jianguo.

Zhang An wasn't at home, so it was just the two of them having dinner, and they looked very deserted.

Now that everyone spends fifteen years together, it will be much more lively.

In the afternoon, when Zhang An packed up his outfit and was about to go out, he was caught and educated by his mother again.

"Look at you, what clothes you're wearing, you look like a little old man. You're such an adult, and you don't even learn how to take care of yourself."

Then Zhang An was dragged into the room by his mother to look for clothes.

"What about the suit I bought for you during the Chinese New Year, why don't you take it out and keep it for the baby."

Seeing Zhang An like this, Wang Fang really felt a little annoyed.

It's not that she is boasting, she feels that she has sons and boys, but she just doesn't know how to clean herself up.

Years ago, Wang Fang spent a lot of money to make several sets of popular suits for Zhang An.

In the past, Wang Fang would not have spent so much money on clothes.

But now that my son is old, there are not many clothes he can wear outside, and he will be laughed at by others when he goes out.

And Zhang An himself doesn't usually go shopping for clothes, so Wang Fang made several sets for him at a time.

But Zhang An didn't like to wear it, because it was uncomfortable to wear.

In the end, whether he wanted to or not, Zhang An had no choice but to change his outfit.

Not to mention, after changing his clothes, he looked different from before, so Wang Fang let him go with satisfaction.

"Brother, where are you going to play, take me with you."

When Zhang An got into the car, Little Swallow saw him.

This little girl wants Zhang An to take her to play with her no matter what.

Seeing this, the third aunt hurried over to take the little swallow away.

"Yan Er, good boy, my brother is going out to find your sister-in-law, so please don't make trouble."

"Oh, my brother is looking for my sister-in-law, then brother, go quickly, find my sister-in-law and come back and buy me candy."

The little guy doesn't know what it means to find a sister-in-law, but she knows what a sister-in-law is.

Zhou Yang's mother, sister-in-law Zhou, would give the little girl one or two cents every time she saw her.

So the little guy thought in his heart that after his brother finds his sister-in-law, someone will give her money to buy food.

The little girl's abacus made a rattling sound, and the adults were a little dumbfounded.

Seeing this, Zhang An started the car and went out.

On the way, Zhang An saw someone selling bodhisattvas.

Suddenly I remembered that the Bodhisattva I had planted in the space had grown up.

Originally, these local Bodhisattvas were only the size of a bottle cap. Even if they were planted artificially, the largest ones that were carefully cared for were only four to five centimeters in diameter.

And the bodhisattvas planted in Zhang An's space have grown to a size of seven or eight centimeters.

Zhang An wasn't very surprised either, because when later generations watched short videos, they saw someone posting a Bodhisattva bigger than this.

It's just that they are a minority after all, and they cannot be mass-produced. They are regarded as Bodhisattva Kings.

Without hesitation, Zhang An dug some in the space, cleaned them and put them in the car.

Bodhisattva is on the market this season, and it happens to be brought to Su Ying's house later.

After Zhang An entered the county seat, he went straight to Su Ying's house.

"Here comes Xiaoan."

At the door, Wu Qiuping opened the door for Zhang An and welcomed him in with a smile.

"Come here, why do you still bring something, and you are not an outsider."

Seeing Zhang An carrying a big bag, Wu Qiuping blamed him a little.

"Auntie, I didn't bring anything. I saw someone selling bodhisattvas on the road. They were so big that I was greedy, so I bought some."

Zhang An said and handed the Bodhisattva to the future mother-in-law.

Although Wu Qiuping said that Zhang An was not allowed to bring anything, Wu Qiuping's face was very happy.

"Xiao An, sit down for a while, Yingying is tidying up in the room."
