Manor Romance

Chapter 13
And the problem that Yunli was worried about didn't happen. With Xu Ping's urging, Xu Lin was still able to finish the work roughly.And within a few days, seeing Yunli's small two-story building was empty, he simply brought his luggage and lived in it.

Yunli has no objection to this, anyway, he has moved into the bamboo building now, and the two-story small building is of no use if it is empty, and it is okay to let him live in it, but Xu Ping is very unhappy, and at first he wanted Xu Lin to move back to the bamboo building. Go home, but after some disputes, he still chose to compromise.

There were three big suitcases of Xu Lin's luggage, and he used the tricycle to move them back and forth three times. It seemed that he planned to settle down for a long time.What interested Yunli was that the boxes he used to store things were very elegant and exquisite. One was a large square mahogany box with many patterns carved on the surface, and the other two were cylindrical bamboo boxes, which were very rounded. , It doesn't look like bamboo products at all.

Xu Lin is usually taciturn. Except for his daily farm work, he is either drinking, sleeping or in a daze, and rarely goes out.Three meals are also prepared separately, sometimes Xu Ping will come to Xiaolou to have dinner with Xu Lin, and he will also invite Shang Yunli to join him. After getting in touch with him a lot, Yunli got used to his state.

On this day, after Yunli inspected the situation in the experimental field, he went to the town, bought a local chicken, a piece of pork belly, and a few boxes of cooked food, worked hard for most of the morning, but failed to produce anything Come on.

When it was almost eleven o'clock, two new faces came to Xiaolushan, a man and a woman, about the same age as Yunli. They came riding a motorcycle, walked up the stone steps side by side, and looked around curiously. After a while, he walked into the courtyard where the bamboo building was located.

There is a small bamboo door in front of the yard, which is not locked, and it was made by Yunli himself under the guidance of old brother Chen. It is ordinary, but passable.Behind the small bamboo gate is a short passageway of stone slabs, more than ten meters long, which connects to the bamboo building. The lawn planted in the yard has not yet grown, and now only scattered grasses can be seen, which is very desolate.

"Yunli, here we come." Seeing that there was no one in the yard, the young woman shouted loudly.The young woman wore a white shirt and jeans, short hair, and a pair of black-rimmed glasses. She was very capable. Although her figure and appearance were not outstanding, she was quite artistic.

"Okay, I'm on the phone. Come upstairs, the stairs are on the right." After hearing the shout, Yunli's figure immediately appeared on the second-floor balcony, holding the phone in one hand, and talking on the phone in the other. Shou pointed to the stairs on the right, signaling for the two to come up to the bamboo building.

"What are you doing, can't you just cram for help, ask old brother Chen for help?" After arriving at the small hall on the second floor of the bamboo building, the young man handed the fruit in his hand to Yunli, guessing with a smile.The young man was tall and thin, with fair skin, wearing a pair of thick square-rimmed glasses, and dressed in a fashionable fashion.

"Exactly, I originally asked him to come here, but in the end I was dismissed by saying 'in a meeting'." Yun Li sighed helplessly after taking the fruit from the tall and thin young man.These two were from the same batch of teachers who came to Lu Town to support education as Yunli. The tall and thin young man was named Jiang Wenfeng, and the short-haired young woman was named Pan Qing.

Both of them are fresh graduates this year. After the task of teaching support is over, they will go to Linshan County to receive studies. Both of them have already been assigned work, and in a few days, they will go their separate ways.After working together in a difficult and unfamiliar place for half a year, the three of them were somewhat reluctant, so they agreed to come to Yunli to have a dinner together, and have a breakup meal before parting.

Originally, Old Brother Chen was invited to help make this meal, but there was a temporary teacher meeting in the county, so Yunli had to cook it by himself. He didn't have much cooking experience, so he had to type while cooking. Learn from the phone.

"Do you need our help? Hehe, although I haven't been in the kitchen much when I'm at home." Pan Qing joked, and Jiang Wenfeng also spread his hands, expressing his helplessness.

"I didn't expect the two young masters to be rich. The local chicken is already steaming, and there is still a piece of meat to be fried later. I will show you the bamboo building first, and maybe you don't want to leave after that." Yun left jokingly He made a disdainful expression, and then took the two of them to visit the bamboo building.

It has been half a year since they came to Lu Town, but Jiang Wenfeng and Pan Qing are not like Yunli, they seldom go to the countryside. They have seen bamboo buildings, but they have never gone in to observe them.After seeing Yunli's simple, elegant and exquisite bamboo building, both of them expressed their praises, and of course took out their mobile phones to take pictures as souvenirs.

After the visit, Yunli also followed the instructions taught by old brother Chen, and made a plate of fried pork belly with small wild bamboo shoots, plus the specialty dish he learned recently, steamed local chicken with potatoes, and a few other things he bought For snacks, a table full of Luzhen style meals is ready.Since it was a casual meal, some wine was indispensable. The local liquor had a high alcohol content and was full of energy. The three of them were not used to drinking it, so this time they used cold beer instead.

Yunli set up a dining table on the balcony on the second floor, and the three of them brought the meals to the balcony, and sat around on small stools to eat.

"What method did you use to snatch that string of purple bamboo wind chimes from Old Brother Chen? It's his heart. Pity me for serving him delicious tea. In the end, I only got two bamboo bowls. I have to share one with Wenfeng." Seeing the purple bamboo wind chimes hanging on the foot of the balcony eaves, Pan Qing liked it and was angry at the same time, among the gadgets of Old Brother Chen, this string of wind chimes was her favorite.However, no matter how much she stalked and stalked her, Brother Chen remained unmoved, and finally gave her two carved bamboo bowls.

"That bamboo bowl is very good. Anyway, I haven't seen such an exquisite bamboo bowl for sale in other places. I just took it as a souvenir and gave it to my old man when I go back. How about giving me yours as well?" Jiang Wenfeng joked.

"I can give you the bamboo bowl, but the condition is that you will be a gentleman and bring me this purple bamboo wind chime tonight." Pan Qing took a sip of beer and said unceremoniously.

Jiang Wenfeng didn't even think about it, and said bluntly: "No problem, don't wait until night, I will touch it for you later."

"Hey, two people's teachers, quality, pay attention to quality!" Zizhu Fengling Yunli will not cede them, so in order to make them give up, he pretended to be serious and warned: "I will go and get the two at the head of the village later. The big black dog that barks the most fiercely borrows it to watch the door, regardless of whether you are a gentleman or not, if you dare to come, you will close the door and let the dog go."

"It just so happens that when we entered the village just now, there were two blind guys yelling and shouting, and I just brought them here to teach them a lesson." Pan Qing was not to be outdone, just like her short hair, straightforward and straightforward.

"Come, come, have a drink. Although Brother Chen didn't come, he has been tormenting him a lot in the past six months. I respect Brother Chen. I wish him a long and healthy life." Jiang Wenfeng interrupted their bickering, holding his cup high road.

"I wish him never to retire and become the honorary principal of Deertown Secondary School."

"May all go well with you!"

Pan Qing and Yun Li also expressed their wishes one after another, and the three toasted and drank with great interest.

Pan Qing is from the southern coastal area, but she went to college in a city in the southwest. Some school recommended that she will continue to teach in a middle school in the next semester. The conditions are much better than those in Luzhen Middle School.

Jiang Wenfeng is from the north, and he studied at a very famous normal university in the north. Their family has been teachers for three generations, so they can be regarded as a scholarly family.With a good background and excellent grades, he will go to the middle school attached to the normal university to take up a new post, and he is going to work and take the postgraduate entrance examination at the same time. This time he came to Luzhen Middle School to support teaching, and his family encouraged him to come and practice.

After the task of teaching support is over, the two of them will go to the county to take training courses, give teaching support reports, and participate in the selection of outstanding teachers, so they have stayed until now.Yunli didn't intend to continue teaching, so he didn't have to go through these prescribed procedures.

"Yunli, you're only a junior this year. What's your plan for the next school year? Don't you go to graduate school?" Jiang Wenfeng asked Yunli after filling the glasses of the three of them.

Yun Li shook his head, and said: "I have no plans for this, you all have seen, I am putting my whole body and mind on the Xiaolu Mountain now, and I still like this mountain and wild place more than the three-foot podium."

"I understand that everyone has their own aspirations. Being a farmer is not bad. You can be free and easy. Come on, senior sister, let me toast you. Your wish will come true." Pan Qing greeted Yunli with the wine glass.

In fact, anyone would be surprised when encountering this kind of thing. Among the three, the school Yunli attended is the best, and it only took him more than two years to complete the credits required for professional subjects , in any school, they are all top students.It is not a decision that ordinary people can make to leave the broad road, but to find another way.

"I also wish you the best of luck. In our northern dialect, you have a bright future." Jiang Wenfeng also sent his sincere wishes.

Jiang Wenfeng has been influenced by his elders since he was a child, and determined to be a teacher. His family also has sufficient resources to train him, so his life can be said to be smooth and smooth, without any twists and turns. Because of this, it is inevitable that he will develop a kind of Unyielding arrogance.In Luzhen Middle School, Yunli is the most popular teacher, and his teaching performance is also very good. If Yunli participates in the selection of outstanding teachers in the county, he will definitely occupy a seat, and maybe he will become an outstanding representative.

Subconsciously, Jiang Wenfeng had long regarded Yunli as his biggest competitor. During the process of observation and comparison, he gradually improved. This time, he was also one of the outstanding teachers in the county.

When he first learned that Yunli was going to give up his job as a teacher and change his career to farming, he was secretly happy for a long time. His biggest opponent withdrew from the competition, and the pressure on himself suddenly eased a lot.Usually the relationship between the two is neither far nor close, but since that decision, he has become much more enthusiastic about Yunli.

After being happy, a sense of loss gradually emerged. He felt like a coward, fearing and avoiding competition. He was eager to have a fair competition with Yunli. Even if the final result was failure, he was willing to bear it. Unfortunately, there was no This opportunity is up.

Until recently, when parting was imminent, Jiang Wenfeng found that his mentality had changed. He no longer cares about comparisons, and he no longer cares about competition. Yunli is both an opponent and a friend to him, so when he comes to dinner today, he can face Yunli squarely. Forgive yourself.

Yunli is a sensitive person, and he is also very good at observing words and expressions. He has noticed Jiang Wenfeng's changes in his attitude.

Yunli is not a person who likes to compete. When others regard him as an opponent, this is also the most honest recognition. He has always regarded Jiang Wenfeng as a friend. Seeing that he can overcome the obstacles in his heart and take a new step, Yunli also Really happy for him.
