Chapter 5 The Monk Without the Wooden Fish

The next day, Tang Shenyuan had to continue yesterday's work - weeding the peanuts.

Tang's father went out after a while, and Tang Shenyuan fell behind because he slept late.It was after eight o'clock that he slowly went out with a hoe on his shoulders. However, the village is so big, and he met someone Tang Shenyuan didn't want to meet——Shui De!
Tang Shenyuan had a good relationship with him for a while when Shui De was young, but since Tang Shenyuan was eight years old when he wore new clothes on New Year's Eve and Shui De pushed him into a puddle, Tang Shenyuan never followed him again. He played, and even hated him a little bit!Think about it, Tang Shenyuan was eight years old at the time, and he finally put on a new dress to show off on New Year's Eve, who knew that Shui De actually pushed him into the puddle, and the new clothes were all dirty!

Shui De was two years older than Tang Shenyuan. At that time, Tang Shenyuan couldn't beat him, so he had to run home crying, covered in mud. Tang's mother even scolded Tang Shenyuan for it. Tang Shenyuan told Tang's mother that it was Shui De. Tang's mother was also furious when he pushed him into the puddle, but it was not for adults to intervene in the conflicts between children, so they just warned Tang Shenyuan not to play with Shuide again.

Later, the gang of Shuide's parents and uncles had conflicts with the gang of Tang Shenyuan's family, and then Honghe Village was divided into two factions. Tang Shenyuan never spoke to Shuide again. Speaking profoundly——

"Isn't this the only college student in our Honghe Village?"

The word "sarcasm" was clearly written on that face that didn't deserve a beating. It should be because he heard about Tang Shenyuan not being able to find a job after graduating from university and returning home to farm in the past two days.So now when I met Tang Shenyuan, I couldn't help but come up and laugh at him.That disgusting face made Tang Shenyuan sick for a while, and a pair of dead fish eyes stared at Tang Shenyuan, full of irony and complacency.

"Aren't you a college student? Don't you have to go back to the village to farm?" Shui De thought to himself.

"Hey! Isn't this Shui De?" Tang Shenyuan pretended to recognize him, and said lightly.

"Aren't you good at reading? Why did the great talent come back to farm?"

"Isn't it because the family can't open the pot? If you don't plant the land, where can you get the rice for the pot?"

"Ha, take the money to buy, isn't your family very rich?" Shui De sneered with a sneer on his face.

"Hahaha. Farmers don't plant land and buy rice, do you think everyone is like Shuide's family?" Tang Shenyuan responded.

Shui De's family did not farm. Tang Shenyuan envied him very much when he was a child, because Tang Shenyuan had to go out of the fields with his parents every time the farming was busy, and Shui De's family did not farm, so he was always free and did not need to do farm work.Tang Shenyuan said that Shui De's family did not cultivate land, which is also ironic, because it is very contemptuous for rural people to have land and not grow it, which shows that you are lazy!Unless your family is really rich.But Shui De's family obviously doesn't belong to the rich category, it's just that his parents are lazy.

"Ha, you're still a college student! I heard that you can't even find a job, so what qualifications do you have to talk about me?" Shui De's expression changed, and he said immediately.

"Shui De! You are so proud, who are you qualified to criticize me?" Tang Shenyuan also turned his face and scolded.

"What the hell are you...huh! Unemployed college students, what can I dare not say?" Shui De is also a person who has been out, and he has no awe of so-called college students.

……

After some confrontation, Tang Shenyuan and Shui De exposed each other's scars, and finally broke up unhappy.

Depressed, Tang Shenyuan went to the field with the hoe on his shoulders, but unexpectedly met another person whom he really didn't want to see at the moment——Li Xiaodong from the next village.

Li Xiaodong and Tang Shenyuan were classmates from elementary school to junior high school. The relationship between the two was very good, and Li Xiaodong also went to college later. She was the second college student in her village, and her brother was the first!When Tang Shenyuan was just "reasonable" in junior high school, he fantasized about what could happen to Li Xiaodong, and now he feels a little embarrassed to meet her.And I heard that after Li Xiaodong graduated, her brother helped her find a good job, it seems to be in foreign trade or something, anyway the salary is high and the job is easy.

And Tang Shenyuan returned home in despair because he couldn't find a job after graduation. Wouldn't it be embarrassing to meet Li Xiaodong?
"Tang Shenyuan!" Li Xiaodong yelled when he spotted Tang Shenyuan from afar.

Tang Shenyuan, on the other hand, clutched his forehead, secretly thinking that it's unlucky, why do you always meet people you don't want to see?Pretending to have just discovered her, said:
"Yeah, who are you? Are you Li Xiaodong?"

Li Xiaodong walked around Tang Shenyuan, making Tang Shenyuan confused, so, "Why do you look at me like this?"

"Tang Shenyuan, I heard that you..." Li Xiaodong couldn't bear to expose Tang Shenyuan's scars. She had heard about Tang Shenyuan, and although she said she came here today to visit grandma, it wasn't wrong to drop by to see Tang Shenyuan. No way. "I heard that you didn't find a job..."

"Yes, I found a job, but I quit because I didn't feel comfortable doing it," Tang Shenyuan said.

"Are you going home to farm?"

"Yeah, what else can I do?"

"Didn't you study a teacher's degree? Why don't you find a school to be a teacher? I think it's good for you to be a Chinese teacher."

"Hehe, look at me like this, can I be a teacher? What if I misunderstand the children? Their parents will settle accounts with me..."

"Tang Shenyuan, I remember you used to be very good at Chinese. Didn't you major in Chinese language and literature? It's not bad to be an elementary school teacher. At least you can have a stable job, and..."

Before Li Xiaodong finished speaking, Tang Shenyuan said, "Don't talk about it, how much is the salary for an elementary school teacher? One thousand or two thousand?"

Li Xiaodong was speechless, what Tang Shenyuan said in Chinese was true, the salary of teachers here is really low, it can only keep you from starving to death, an old man can't support his family if he becomes a teacher.One thousand yuan a month is a normal salary.

Tang Shenyuan didn't mean to embarrass Li Xiaodong. After all, she was also kind. Looking at her increasingly beautiful face, Tang Shenyuan said: "I think it's very good now. I can work and rest every day without suffering. You can do whatever you want..."

"But……"

"I know what you're going to say, but I don't think being in the village is as bad as you think. I believe I can use my hands." Tang Shenyuan waved his hands and said, "My parents can live a good life, and even Help the village grow!"

Tang Shenyuan's words made Li Xiaodong feel sad for a while, thinking that Tang Shenyuan was a rotten wood, maybe he just couldn't let go of his face and was machismo.

"My brother said that their company is going to recruit people recently, so you can try it..."

Tang Shenyuan's heart warmed up, Li Xiaodong didn't come here on purpose today to talk to him about this matter, did he?After all, he is an old classmate, and a college student from two villages!
"Is that why you told me this today?"

Li Xiaodong blushed slightly, "By the way, I'm here to visit my grandma, she's eighty this year..."

"I understand, I understand..." Tang Shenyuan smiled coyly and wiped his nose.

"By the way, you haven't changed your phone number, have you? Anyway, my phone number hasn't changed. If you want to go, call me and I'll talk to my brother again."

"Uh, okay, thank you. If I want to go, I will definitely trouble you. Don't think I'm long-winded." Tang Shenyuan said with a squeezed face.

Li Xiaodong saw Tang Shenyuan being funny, his face turned red, he stepped on the ground and turned his head and said, "I need to give me a confirmation letter in these two days, otherwise my brother and his company will not be able to recruit enough people."

Tang Shenyuan nodded, "I know. Then what, why don't you come to my house?"

When Li Xiaodong heard Tang Shenyuan's words, his pretty face turned even redder. He looked up at the sky and said, "It's getting late, I should go back."

"Okay, let's get together next time." Tang Shenyuan also wished that Li Xiaodong would leave quickly, seeing that Li Xiaodong was "tactful" about leaving, of course he would not keep her.

Looking at Li Xiaodong's graceful back, Tang Shenyuan felt very uncomfortable. Why can other people be rich and rich, and change women like clothes, but he, a poor boy, has never even talked about love?Once upon a time, Tang Shenyuan also thought about falling in love. It was when he finally couldn’t bear the loneliness when he was in his junior year and wanted to fall in love. Isn’t there a saying that goes like this: A college without a girlfriend is like a monk without a wooden fish.

And Tang Shenyuan is a monk without wooden fish!

When he had just made up his mind to confess his love to a girl he had been in love with for a long time, he found that girl got into the car with a happy expression on her face... Tang Shenyuan felt lonely for a while, he had no money!Falling in love requires money. Tang Shenyuan once calculated it when he was bored. His living expenses are 700 yuan a month. What, it's not enough at all.

Besides, Tang Shenyuan still can't work part-time, and he can't bear other people's control.In this way, the pockets are cleaner than Lian, and he can't even straighten his waist when he goes out, and he is not as good as others who can "deceive" girls with eloquence.It is said that some great masters pick up girls not only without spending money, but even earn money, and those girls are willing to spend money for him.But it is obvious that Tang Shenyuan is a "love waste", destined to be a bachelor.I haven't held a girl's hand yet.

When I was in school, I often hid in the dormitory because I didn't want to go out and watch other people in pairs. Sometimes when I saw those "dogs~men and women" Qingqing, I would curse in my heart, showing affection and love quickly!
A person like Tang Shenyuan can't eat grapes and say grapes are sour. If he had a girlfriend, his behavior would be even more outrageous!But who let him not?

Not much nonsense, anyway, Tang Shenyuan was in a particularly bad mood at this time, he just went to work numbly, and then went home to rest when the sun was scorching, but he couldn't calm down all the time.The words of Shui De and Li Xiaodong kept ringing in my mind, and I couldn't shake them off for a long time...

"Should I do something?" Tang Shenyuan asked himself, he felt a little relaxed during this time.

But what can be done?Anyone can get rich now, but what is the way to get rich in this mountain village? PS: During the new book period, please help folks!Collect and recommend anything!Thank you
