My village can't be like this

Chapter 236 Dormitory
"Why don't we teach you how to ride a horse here, it just so happens that this place is nice."

At this time, Zhang An suddenly discovered that the current Caobazi area is not bad.

The place here is very spacious, and it is also very flat. This kind of place is usually a paddy field in the village.

It's just that Zhang An didn't understand why no one came to grow crops in such a good place.

"Then...then learn it?"

Su Ying's voice was a little unconfident, and she tightened the reins of Dahei even after she got on the horse.

"Relax a little bit, Dahei won't run, it's uncomfortable for you to strangle it like this."

Zhang An led Dahei around a few times, giving Su Ying courage.

Then slowly let go of the horse and let her ride a few laps by herself.

After practicing for half the salary, Su Ying has already skillfully carried Dahei around the grass dam.

After all, at the beginning, she held the reins tightly to prevent the big black horse from running.

Although Dahei's speed is not very fast now, Su Ying can already wave the reins to make Dahei speed up, which is already very good for Su Ying.

"Okay, okay, come down and rest for a while and drink some water."

It may be because of being too excited, coupled with the still warm sunset, now there are many beads of sweat on Su Ying's forehead.

Besides, girls have a much weaker physique, and now Su Ying has become breathless.

So Zhang An waited until she came over, stopped Da Hei and told her to rest.

There happened to be a big rock next to it, so Zhang An took the water bottle he had brought from the saddle.

He patted Dahei and let him play in Caobazi by himself.

Sitting on the rock, Su Ying took two sips from the kettle.

"Your physical fitness is too poor. I have to call you to get up and exercise in the future."

Zhang An took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the sweat off Su Ying's face.

It was just a few laps, and she was too tired to stand it.

And it wasn't that she was running by herself, it was Dahei running around the whole time.

Zhang An has already started to arrange exercise plans for Su Ying.

"Okay, it's time to exercise. I also feel that I am not in good shape. I will be out of breath after walking a few more steps."

During the last Chinese New Year, Su Ying came to climb the mountain with Zhang An, and knew that her physical fitness was weak.

At that time, she thought that when she went back to school, she would get up and run in the morning to exercise.

But because there was no supervision, she ran twice in total, and then gave up.

It happened that no one was disturbing, and the two sat on the stone and whispered.

Unknowingly, the sun, which was still hanging in the sky just now, has already started to set into the mountains.

On the far horizon, there are already large expanses of Huoshaoyun, which have been drifting eastward along the wind.

The faces of Su Ying and Zhang An were already flushed by the glow of the sun.

At this time, they have been out for a long time, and it is time to go home.

Zhang An whistled, and Dahei rushed over from a distance.

On the way back, Zhang An didn't ask Dahei to speed up, but walked slowly on the road.

I didn't feel it when I first came, but now I realized that I had run a long way on the way back.

Zhang An returned home and found the old uncle waiting in his yard.

And there was another person who was familiar but not very familiar with him.

"The old man is here."

Zhang An and Su Ying got off the horse, took off the saddle, and let Dahei circle around by himself.

"Xiao An is back, we are here to discuss something with you and Teacher Su."

Many people in the village knew about Su Ying's transfer to Changqing Middle School.

After all, if Zhang An's aunts knew about it, it meant that the information center in the village also knew about it.

"By the way, let me introduce you, this is the principal Olinou of our middle school."

As soon as Zhang Jianwen mentioned the name, Zhang An remembered that this person used to be a vice principal in the town.

Unexpectedly, this time he was transferred to be the principal, which should be regarded as a step forward.

After all, as the old saying goes, it is better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail.

He didn't have much power in the town, but when he came to Changqing, it was his territory.

"Hello, Principal Ou."

After Zhang Jianwen's introduction, Zhang An and Zhang An greeted each other.

Ou Lin also stood up and shook hands with Zhang An.

"The old uncle just said that he came to see us for something?"

Zhang An brought out a pot of herbal tea and found that there was still some in the cups of the old uncle and Principal Ou.

So he poured a glass for himself and Su Ying, and then asked the old uncle why he came here.

Hearing Zhang An's question, Zhang Jianwen opened his mouth to tell what he wanted to say.

It turned out that this year the middle school in the village had an extra teacher.

This is a good thing to say, after all, this kind of mountain village school has a very short supply of teachers.

In many such schools, some main subject teachers have to take part-time jobs in addition to their own subjects.

In the past, there were quite a few. Those who taught Chinese had to teach music along with it, and those who taught mathematics might also have to teach physical education.

And decades later, the sentence that your math was taught by the physical education teacher is not necessarily a curse now.

So this extra teacher is a great thing for Changqing Middle School.

Normally, it is not easy to recruit a teacher, because no one wants to go to the mountains.

This year, the education department above has been very kind to Changqing Middle School, and they have filled up the teachers' places before.

Therefore, the teachers' dormitory arranged by Changqing Middle School was just enough to live in.

But here comes the problem. In the next few days, the higher-ups have temporarily notified that another teacher will be sent to the village.

Olin was very happy when he heard it at first, and the school's team of teachers has expanded again.

But before he was happy, he suddenly remembered that the dormitories in the school had been allocated.

The new teacher added later, when the time comes, there is no place for others to settle down.

So after thinking about it, Ou Lin wanted to ask Zhang Jianwen, the village secretary, to help solve this problem.

Zhang Jianwen was a little embarrassed when he heard it at first, so he wanted to find an empty house in the village as a dormitory for others.

But then suddenly remembered that Su Ying and Zhang An were going to get married in October.

Then after October, Su Ying's dormitory will be vacant.

And Zhang Jianwen happened to know that Su Ying lived at Zhang An's house these days.

So Zhang Jianwen thought about it for a long time, and brought Ou Lin over to discuss it with Su Ying.

Anyway, it will only be a month, or she will stay at Zhang An's house and give up the dormitory first.

Su Ying actually thought it was okay to give way, but she was a little worried.

Because she hasn't been married yet, if she lives in Zhang An's house all the time, will others gossip.

Seeing Su Ying's hesitant expression, the old uncle can probably guess what Su Ying is thinking.

"Mr. Su, you can rest assured to live here. If anyone dares to gossip, I don't need you to call me an old man."

Zhang Jianwen didn't think that Su Ying was reluctant to part with the dormitory in the school.

Because Su Ying is from the city, and she was transferred from the county on her own initiative.

A narrow and small dormitory is not worth thinking about.

Besides, those dormitories in the school are simply a single room, which is far worse than Zhang An's house.

Su Ying heard what the old village chief said, and looked at Zhang An and Wang Fang next to her.

"Uncle, we have given up this dormitory."

Wang Fang listened to the old uncle's words now, so she settled the matter for Su Ying immediately.

Originally, Wang Fang didn't want Su Ying to move out, because she could take better care of Su Ying at home.

It was said that Su Ying moved to the dormitory after school started, it was for Su Ying's reputation and to prevent people from gossiping.

In addition, the wedding date is only a month or so away, so moving around during this time will not bother the children.

Now with Zhang Jianwen's words, Su Ying can continue to live at home openly.

If anyone in the village doesn't know what to do and wants to talk to their family, don't blame her for being a shrew.

Now everyone is happy, and Ou Lin learned that Su Ying and Zhang An are going to get married in October.

Immediately, he promised Su Ying that when they got married, they would give her a few more days off.

After the matter was finished, Zhang Jianwen and Ou Lin did not continue to sit down at Zhang An's house.

After they left, Zhang An and Su Ying accompanied Wang Fang and Zhang Jian to watch two TV episodes downstairs.

At ten o'clock after nine o'clock, Wang Fang began to urge the two of them to go upstairs to rest.

Ever since Su Ying moved in, Wang Fang and Zhang Jianguo have been living downstairs.

One is that it is convenient to pay attention to the movement in the yard by living downstairs at night, and the other is that I want to leave the upstairs space for my two children.

Upstairs, Zhang An asked Su Ying to take a shower first.

This time is still dog days, and the weather is still very hot.

It is still difficult to fall asleep without taking a cold shower at night.

When Su Ying came out of the bathroom, Zhang An looked at Su Ying in pajamas, feeling a little hot in his heart.

But counting the approaching wedding day, Zhang An didn't do anything out of the ordinary.

Anyway, in a short time, I will be able to live the life of my wife and children, and I don't care about waiting a few more days.

So Zhang An chanted the mantra in his heart, went into the bathroom and took a cold shower to calm himself down.

Early the next morning, Zhang An got up from the bed.

It was agreed yesterday that I will supervise Su Ying to start exercising from today.

It's just over six o'clock in the morning, and the air outside is very fresh, which is the most suitable time for morning jogging.

So after Zhang An got up, he knocked on Su Ying's door.

A few minutes later, Su Ying was yelled out of bed by Zhang An angrily.

"You child, why did you wake Yingying up so early, and you'll be fine if you sleep a little longer."

Regarding Zhang An calling Su Ying up early in the morning, Wang Fang had some opinions.

"Auntie, we're going to run in the morning. I'm in poor health. I need to exercise."

Seeing Zhang An being scolded, Su Ying still spoke to him.

"Hey, that's a good thing. It's good to exercise your body well."

When it comes to exercising, Wang Fang has no objections.

Because of her poor health, she almost had an accident when giving birth to Zhang An.

So when Su Ying said she wanted to exercise, she also expressed her support.

She hoped that Su Ying would be healthy and that she would give birth to more grandchildren for Lao Zhang's family in the future.

Seeing the young couple happily going out for a morning run, Wang Fang went back to the house and started preparing breakfast.

The route for the two of them to run in the morning was the bluestone path by the river.

It's flat and flat now, perfect for running.

Su Ying just started exercising, and her endurance still needs to be improved. After running for a while, she began to pant.

So Zhang An didn't run too fast, and started jogging by the river with her.

Every time Su Ying felt unable to run, Zhang An would bring a water bottle for her to drink.

Inside is the space spring installed by Zhang, which he specially brought for Su Ying to recover her strength.

In this way, the two ran for more than half an hour, about five kilometers, and today's morning run was over.

"It turns out that I can persist in running for so long. I really didn't expect it."

Su Ying was in school before, even if she ran a few times, she finished it in a few minutes each time.

Today's trip took more than half an hour, and she didn't even know that she could last for so long.

So now my heart is full of a sense of accomplishment, and I am very happy to share it with Zhang An.

"It's just started now, and you will find that these few kilometers are very easy for you in the future."

Zhang An believed that Su Ying insisted on running for half an hour every day, plus he used the space spring water to help recuperate.

It is estimated that it will not take long for Su Ying to catch up with those aunts and aunts in the village.

Back in the yard, Wang Fang had already cooked breakfast.

What Wang Fang cooked this morning was not porridge, but a pot of rice soup.

This rice soup is a good thing, and all the nutrition in the rice is in it.

It is said that a long time ago, everyone did not have enough to eat, and the rice at home was not enough.

So at that time, every household cooked rice into porridge to eat.

Among them was a family whose son's daughter-in-law was in charge of cooking.

Every time she cooks, she gives the rice in the pot to her in-laws and men, and she drinks the leftover rice soup herself.

At the beginning, everyone didn't think so, but after a long time, everyone found that their family didn't gain much weight, but lost weight instead.

But the daughter-in-law of their family who had just passed the family had a rounded face.

The whole family has lost weight, but the cook in this family is white and fat.

This makes other people who don't know will start to think about it, and the cook must have stolen all the good things.

The rest of the family eats the bad things, so the whole family becomes like this.

Seeing that everyone in the village is saying that their daughter-in-law is not good, how can the old couple of that family sit still.

Whether the daughter-in-law at home treats me well, whether she is filial or not, can I not know?

After all, every time we eat, we eat more rice, but my daughter-in-law keeps drinking rice soup.

The few of us were well fed, but the daughter-in-law only ate a small portion.

So the old couple hurried out to speak for their daughter-in-law.

So from then on, everyone knew that among the porridge, rice soup is the most nourishing thing.

A family of four sat in the main room, and each scooped up a bowl of rice soup.

When drinking, there is a strong rice fragrance and thick taste on the tip of the tongue.

In addition, Wang Fang put some sugar, so it tastes sweet.

And Wang Fang not only boiled rice soup, but also baked a pot of scallion pancakes with potato flour.

It is very appetizing when paired with the crispy chili and moldy tofu that she makes on weekdays.
