The leisurely life of rebirth.

On a summer afternoon, there is no cloud in the sky, a scorching sun above the head, and no wind. All the trees stand there lazily and listlessly. Fortunately, the tile-roofed houses still have a little shade in the room, so as not to It's too hot to sleep.

Fang Monan slept soundly, and was woken up by his aunt an hour later. "Wake up, it's all right. I'll take you to find grandma. I'm going to work. Hurry up and don't dawdle." The aunt stood in front of the mirror, combing her waist-length hair and neatly braiding it.

"Oh!" Fang Monan rubbed his eyes in a daze, and rubbed against the edge of the kang. My aunt knelt down to put on her shoes and hugged her down the kang.

"Wait, I'll change into my clothes." Auntie said.She quickly took off her clothes and changed into work clothes.Then he carried Fang Monan out of the threshold, put her on the ground, turned around and locked the door, and pulled her out.

As soon as I walked to the main road, the oncoming wind rushed like a heat wave, the scorching sun was like fire, and the earth was like a steamer, so hot that I couldn't breathe.Fang Monan, who was still stunned at first, immediately woke up, sweating and sticky all over, and it was really hot. [

They walked northward, and within a minute, they turned into another gate, the "Cultural and Educational Bureau", which was rectangular in size and had a large area. There were two-story buildings on both sides, and the front of the house was full of phoenix trees.They walked in the shade of the trees and walked in. The concrete floor in the middle was baked by the sun, and it made people sweat all over.

Fortunately, in the place where grandma does laundry, a phoenix tree is planted next to the tap water, and under the cool shade, the heat is less. "Mom, I'm going to work." Pulling Fang Monan under the tree, he worriedly told her: "Be good, Nannan, don't make noise, I'll give you candy tonight."

"Let's go! Don't be late, our Nannan is the most obedient, come to Nannan, sit on the stone platform over there, wait a while, grandma will be fine soon." Grandma turned off the faucet, shook the water on her hands, and pulled Fang Monan, sit on the bluestone platform not far from the faucet, and sit down.Because the land used is underground water, Fang Monan felt really comfortable and cold when touched by his grandma's cold hand.

Fang Monan looked at the pile of clothes and bed sheets that were bubbling with laundry detergent in the sink. He probably had to wait, so he might as well sleep more at home so that he could enter the space earlier at night.She is so untrustworthy, she can't take care of herself.She didn't even think about it, how old is she now, can people trust her?

I used to come to this place when I was a child, and I can still think about it when I see the real thing, but unfortunately, she has no memory of the people inside because of the age.

She was chatting with bricks, used them as chalk, and drew strokes on the bluestone platform. Now she dare not write the words. It seems that she has to find a teacher for herself, otherwise it is not a problem to keep hiding like this. Think about it, this is the Education Bureau, I don’t know, is it possible?

He had been standing here for a while, it was too hot at noon, and with the rushing of the water, he couldn't even take a rest.He went out to see what was going on. It turned out to be from the old Mo's house next door. He knew the situation of her house, so he swallowed what he wanted to say, thinking that she came here during the lunch break in the hot weather. Laundry must have been let in by the kindness of the gatekeeper.

He was just about to go back when he saw the little girl next to her with her head down, unable to see her face.He was wearing an ordinary, creamy yellow vest and light blue trousers.She was drawing on the bluestone platform with bricks, and his curiosity drove him to see what she was painting so seriously, so he walked forward.

Fang Monan was writing vigorously. When he saw a figure on the ground, he raised his face and saw the person. He was tall, his hair was gray and disheveled, and he couldn't guess his age.The upper body is army green short sleeves, and the lower body is a pair of earth gray trousers.A bit dirty and a bit big.However, he stood upright, as if he was standing in a military posture, as if he was wearing a general's uniform instead of rags, with a serious expression on his face.The shoes are rag shoes with a white bottom and black sides. The toes are exposed in the front and the heel is exposed in the back. There seem to be holes burned by cigarette butts on the upper, which are used as slippers.

"Grandpa!" Fang Monan stood up and said politely.

He is not very good at interacting with children, so he replied a little awkwardly. "Hey, okay." He was obviously a little surprised. Usually when children saw him, they would be frightened by his serious appearance and dare not speak, but they didn't expect that she was not afraid of him.

"Mr. Lin, I'm sorry to interrupt your work. I'll wash it right away." Grandma heard the granddaughter talking to someone behind her, turned her head to see the person, turned on the faucet, and said with flustered eyes.

'Mr. Lin is working in the Bureau of Culture and Education again.Observing him carefully, there was obviously a callus on her right hand left by holding the pen for a long time, she narrowed her eyes slightly, thinking about it. '

"Hehe...it's nothing. It's hot, so I just came out to get some air." "Go ahead and wash! It's still early." After he said that, he didn't have the slightest intention of leaving.

Grandma looked at him shyly, but was caught straight, and didn't say anything when she saw him.Grandma looked at the clothes in the pool again, and hurriedly continued to wash them, otherwise she would be even more embarrassed when everyone came to work later.

"What are these?" Mr. Lin asked, seeing that his grandma was washing clothes again, and pointed to the bluestone platform.

"Strong strokes, taught by my cousin, horizontal, vertical, horizontal fold, vertical hook" Fang Monan saw him, and asked her what she wrote before leaving. Answer all questions.

Seeing that Fang Monan was chubby, round, and cute, Mr. Lin couldn't help thinking of his miserable past, and took a deep breath to suppress the sadness in his heart.

Mr. Lin saw the strokes she wrote, which was rare for her age to be horizontal and vertical, so he nodded inwardly. "Want to learn to write?" [

"I think, but grandma can't, no one taught me, can grandpa know?" Fang Monan was afraid that he would refuse, so he immediately replied.

"Writing is very hard and boring, can you stick to it!" Mr. Lin's already serious face became more serious and frightening once he was upright. It is estimated that ordinary children would be scared away by him.

Fang Monan heard his tone playful, "Yes, I'm not afraid." But she said happily and loudly.

Mr. Lin looked at a pair of big watery eyes revealing an unusual determination, which made his heart tremble inexplicably.It's rare that he didn't refuse because of his famous indifference and stubborn temper: "That's good! Come with me!"

"Oh! That's great. Grandma, grandpa is going to teach me how to write." Fang Monan happily ran to his grandma and said excitedly.

"Okay! Grandma heard it all." Grandma just didn't expect Mr. Lin to agree to Nan Nan's request, so she grabbed Fang Monan's hand and rinsed it under the tap, "Look! It's dirty." After washing, She continued: "Nannan, be obedient, be good, don't make trouble."

"I know." Fang Monan said with a smile.

"Excuse me, what a shame." Grandma turned around and bowed respectfully to Mr. Lin. She couldn't read, but she respected literati from the bottom of her heart.

"It's nothing, it's rare that your granddaughter is so eager to learn." Mr. Lin said in an almost rigid voice.

So Mr. Lin and Fang Monan walked into his room together.Fang Monan stood at the door and looked at the room in front of her. She only felt that it was crowded. Apart from books, the whole room was full of books.On the desk, there are simple bookshelves on the wall, and two long wooden boards on two nails. Even the bed is no exception. I really don’t know how he sleeps at night.

The books are a little worn out, and it is obvious that they are often read by people, and many of them have rough edges.Some of them were old thread-bound books. Fang Monan just glanced at them hastily. He saw the "Kangxi Dictionary", the Four Great Classics, etc., so he didn't dare to look through them.She is very curious now, how these books have been preserved intact and survived the ten-year movement.Thinking about it again!Quickly withdrew his mind and continued to look at the room.

There is also a simple stove at the door. This room seems to be a room where work and rest are not delayed, and it is difficult to even sit alone.

Mr. Lin looked at the room in embarrassment, completely different from the serious look just now. After tidying up the room a little, he finally found a place to sit.One of them is willing to learn and the other is willing to teach, and their teaching and learning career begins.

Fang Monan met a cheap teacher who was willing to teach, and he didn't think she was a child. Of course, he studied very seriously, but he met a teacher who learned quickly and well. He felt a sense of accomplishment as a teacher and was more willing to teach. up.

Grandma came over once during this period, and said that she would go back after washing the clothes.However, Mr. Lin pointed to Fang Monan who was writing with his wrist hanging. Grandma looked at the seriousness of the child, and didn't even bother to wipe off the sweat, so she asked the old man to take care of him.

Unknowingly, time passed quickly, after six o'clock, grandma had finished dinner and came to pick her up.

"Mr. Lin, I'm so sorry, I'm here to pick Nan Nan home for dinner, and I've bothered you." Grandma knocked on the open door.

"No, it just so happens that she finished writing." His voice was flat and straight, without ups and downs.

"The child didn't give it to you, please cause trouble!" Grandma asked worriedly, frowning.

"No, he's a good boy." He glanced at Fang Monan subtly, paused, and said, "From now on, you must be filial to your grandma. The old man is very bitter. He has traditional women's virtues and is a little silly."

Fang Monan's expression was only "囧", although she agreed with what Mr. Lin said.After hearing this, even grandma's expression twisted instantly.

"Mr. Lin...my Nannan is not yet three years old..." Grandma couldn't believe it when she said something wrong about her in front of the child. She was a little embarrassed when Mr. Lin commented on her like this, but she didn't dare to refute. [

"Aspirations don't come at a young age, and Zhikong lives a hundred years old. It's been an afternoon since I realized it! I speak and behave calmly, carefully, calmly, and know how to adapt, know how to read words and expressions, and my demeanor is neither humble nor overbearing. Mature is not like a child, Mo Sister, your granddaughter here must be educated."

"Hmm! Mmm! I don't have much education. If you like this child, it's her blessing, so please take care of me." The grandma would follow her son along.

Who said that grandma is uneducated, she is shrewd in the world!

Does this old man have eyes behind his back?Isn't he working!It was the first time for Fang Monan to feel terrible. In the summer, she felt cold and sweaty. She dare not say that she was seen thoroughly, but she was so consciously observed that she was not so nervous when she went to see the witch in the temple.

Fang Monan hurriedly waved to him and said goodbye. The 36 plan is the best way to go and stay away. It seems that her plan was aborted before it started. This old man is too sharp!

Not to mention that Fang Monan doesn't look like a child, she can't speak and behave, no matter how careful she is, she sometimes forgets her current age, and her natural demeanor and language are different.It feels very different from other children.

Fang Monan walked on the way home and asked, "Who is grandma? Why didn't I know him before." It seems that I can't come here to play in the future. The old man here has observed carefully enough, and he can't be a secret agent Bar!She was thinking wildly.

Mr. Lin was not a spy, but he was also a scout back then.

Grandma smiled and said, "How old are you and how many people do you know? All I know is that people call him Mr. Lin. I heard from your grandpa that he is better educated than your grandpa, but he has a stubborn temper. He always has a serious face, serious people dare not approach him, so no one dares to talk to him, and few people interact with him. I haven’t seen his children or relatives for so many years. It’s a pity. Old man. None of us know the details."

Judging from Fang Monan's cursory look at the books in his room, it can be said that he is very knowledgeable. Originally, she just asked him to use the name of a teacher to make excuses for what he did later. Knowing that he was secretly observing her, she was a little scared , so he put away his "narrow-mindedness", but he didn't expect that he would become the new tenant of Fang Monan's house.Forged an incomprehensible origin.
