Lao Tzu is a toad

Chapter 137
There are only two days until the New Year's Eve.

Zhao Jiadi accompanied Lafayette to drink tea in the yard, and Zhao Sanjin and his daughter-in-law were beside him. Qi Dongcao, who was at the pinnacle of tea making skills, stared at the fire. Zhao Jiadi received a call from Lao Yang and heard the first sentence The whole person was dumbfounded.Hang up the phone, and said to Lafayette with red eyes, grandma, I am going to Sichuan, now.Zhao Sanjin didn't speak, Lafayette asked with concern what happened, so urgent.The distraught Zhao Jiadi looked pale, got up and said softly that Hu Li had left.Lafayette froze for a moment, Zhao Sanjin calmly said Dongcao, you drive him to Tianjin Airport, it is best to go to Sichuan together.Soon a BMW 7 rushed out of Zhao's house.Zhao Sanjin sat calmly in his original position, comforted Lafayette, and made two phone calls in a tepid tone, one to Jinhai's Tianjin manager, asking him to get two air tickets to Rongcheng, Sichuan within half an hour.With Zhao Taizu's confidant's ability to handle affairs, I believe that Zhao Jiadi and Qi Dongcao will be able to board the plane as soon as they arrive at the airport.There is another call to Sichuan.When they arrived at Tianjin Airport, several high-level executives in Jinhai arranged everything solemnly as if they were facing an enemy, and they were relieved until they watched the two board the plane.On the plane, Zhao Jiadi, who was sitting by the window, closed his eyes.Qi Dongcao said softly, I'm wearing an eye mask, you can sleep with it on.Zhao Jiadi opened his eyes and turned his head with a slight smile, sister, I'm fine.Qi Dongcao held his cold hand, covered it in his palm, and didn't speak.

About two and a half hours later, they got off the plane, and there were still a few people to pick them up. Zhao Jiadi first called Lao Yang and said that I had arrived in Rongcheng, and I will go there first without waiting for you and Huang Hua to leave together.Hang up the phone and tell the high-level Jinhai person who picked up the airport a detailed address to the township and village. The other party determined the exact route within two to three minutes of walking to the parking lot, got in the car, and went straight to the next place called Guanyin in Guangyang City. In the remote part of the village, there are two cars, Jin Hai and the two high-level officials who were ordered to accompany them for 3 hours sat in the front car, Zhao Jiadi and Qi Dongcao sat in the back car, and traveled long distances.

It was already evening when we arrived at the county seat. The company leader carefully asked if he wanted to eat something to fill his stomach first. Qi Dongcao meant no, it was very straightforward, but Zhao Jiadi shook his head and said, sorry for the trouble, let’s eat something casually first. .The two leaders of the Sichuan branch hurriedly said no trouble. After all, they were still afraid that the mysterious young man in front of them would be hungry. Food, you have to tighten your belt for a day or two, but since the young people say to eat, of course they have no objection, it will be resolved in 10 minutes, and then continue to a certain town, and when you go in the town, it is enough for a Cayenne. The narrow dirt road where fake off-road vehicles burst into tears, even a broken bus is unwilling to drive, and two BMW 7s rushed in without hesitation, stumbled, and attracted countless amazed and stunned sights along the way, and further inside, even tractors can drive There is no road, no road, no way for the whole Hummer, the two brightly dressed leaders hurriedly greeted the direction, and told Zhao Jiadi tremblingly that he could only walk or ride a bicycle, and there was still more than half an hour to go, Zhao Jiadi smiled. I smiled and said you guys should go back. I feel very sorry for letting you run so far, so Assistant Qi and I went to the village by ourselves.The two leaders refused to live and die, but in the end Qi Dongcao told you to go back as soon as possible. The two successful and famous uncles returned with peace of mind. They were speculating on the identity of the young man on the way. After a series of careful deliberations, the answer surfaced. Zhao Taizu's The eldest son, the prince of Jinhai Industry, Zhao Jiadi.The two were smoking, and one of them couldn't tell how much he said. He just thought that the prince was very talkative, and he should be a good-natured young man.The other person disdains to ask what kind of vision you have, so that you can make Qi Dongcao Qi's assistant center everything on him?Hmph, I always heard that the crown prince is a douchebag who can't be supported, but now look at it, it's not that simple, if you don't believe me, let's make a bet and wait and see.

Guanyin Village, a very poetic name, but the real situation is not romantic at all. The muddy and bumpy road is located in a remote mountainous area of ​​Sichuan. The price of peace is backwardness, poverty, and a frog in the bottom of the well.What the female teacher from the big city has been trying to do is to take the children out of the well and see the vast sky outside.She saves her pitiful salary every month, all of which are used to buy extracurricular books for the hard-working children. She is only willing to spend a few dollars to go to the Internet cafe to charge the mp3, download songs, and listen to the children. Unfortunately, she only insists on for more than a year.When she fell, the whole village was mobilized. The adults wrapped her in a brand new quilt, asking her to lie on the bed safely and warmly, and carried her to the town. 29 children in the school cried Shouting and running behind the adults for half an hour, until she was sent to the tractor, they still followed the tractor with immature but tougher legs than the children in the city, no matter how much the adults persuaded her. Ken stopped, and the villagers collected money to hire a bus to go to the county hospital. The children finally stopped, shouted at Teacher Hu, and burst into tears.Teacher Hu once told them that there will be a brand new primary school in the village in one year, which will allow all children to study, with new desks and chairs, and a large playground, but she could not wait for that day after all.

She was buried on the top of the hill behind the village, and when she wasn't in class, she liked to go there alone and gaze into the distance.Occasionally, I will take the children and tell them stories about the splendor and struggle in the big city.When her parents were packing up, they found a letter from her, saying that she would be buried here and not to go back.Her luxuriously dressed mother disagreed life and death, and her father agreed to his daughter's last request.On the day of the burial, all the villagers, regardless of age, knelt in front of the grave and kowtowed three times.The day her parents arrived at the hospital, a large group of city and county leaders were alarmed. Only then did the villagers know that Mr. Hu was from a wealthy family in a big city. During the Chinese New Year, the simple villagers know how to be grateful, and they know that the smart city people don't even bother to do it.The children knelt in front of the grave, crying with red eyes and hoarse voices.

A good person may not be safe all his life, but good will be rewarded in the end.

Hu Li's parents lived on the second floor of the classroom. Seeing Zhao Jiadi, Hu Li's father handed him a photo, patted him on the shoulder, and said nothing.In the evening, Lao Yang came from Yanjing with Pistol Huzi, Shang Que and Yang Pingping Huang Hua came from Tianjin, Leopard came from Guangxi, and came to Hu Li's grave with Zhao Jiadi. He liked it and has always liked it Hu Li's Lao Yang and the pistol punched Zhao Jiadi, and then they put their arms around Zhao Jiadi's shoulders bleeding from the corner of his mouth. They toasted Hu Li with red eyes. The wine was from the villagers, and Yang Pingping went limp. Sitting on the ground, weeping uncontrollably, Huzi Huanghua and Leopard stood aside, standing in the night, these young people who fought and bled but did not shed tears, their eyes were moist, no one felt ashamed.Qi Dongcao stood alone in the distance, silent, looking sadly at the lonely grave and Zhao Jiadi who was squatting silently in front of the grave.

Zhao Jiadi stood in front of the grave all night. When Qi Dongcao came to see him in the morning, he told her sister, if you go back, grandma said that I would not go back for the New Year, so I want to accompany Hu Li. I like to be lively, but I am afraid that she will be lonely.You tell Zhao Sanjin, tell me to suspend school for one year after the winter vacation. I want to help Hu Li fulfill her wish and watch her students go to the new school. Before that, I was the one who taught those children.Hu Li always said that I have good grades, and she is relieved that I will teach the children.Qi Dongcao said hello softly, I will come to see you later, if you are not here, I will take good care of grandma.

Qi Dongcao left the village and walked on the narrow path that he and Zhao Jiayi had walked together, covering his mouth and choking.She is strong because she doesn't want Zhao Jiadi to worry.Pistol Yang Pingping left together the next day, and was driven back by Hu Li's parents to celebrate the New Year.On New Year's Eve, Zhao Jiadi and Hu Li's father drank a lot and talked a lot.He told Zhao Jiadi that Hu Li had been in poor health since she was a child, and that I, as a father, was not doing my job well, and only cared about making money. She is happy and everything is up to her.He said Zhao Jiadi, thank you for these two years, Hu Li was very happy with you, if I didn't know Hu Li's physical condition, I would have tied you up to be my son-in-law.Zhao Jiadi drank the wine, lowered his head and did not speak.In ts and even in the entire Hebei business world, the ups and downs of men said Jiadi, you don't need to feel guilty, this is Lizi's life, if you don't owe her anything, she certainly doesn't think you owe her anything.Zhao Jiadi shook his head.The man said that you can stay and fulfill Lizi's last wish, and I thank you for her.

That night, Zhao Jiadi drank two bottles of shochu.

Spit blood on the playground.

Zhao Jiadi really took root in Guanyin Village.After the Lantern Festival, young people in the village returned to work across the country again, and the children also began to attend classes in that classroom. Zhao Jiadi, with a cropped head and plain clothes, picked up the chalk and wrote the third word Zhao Jia on the blackboard, slowly Xu said that I will be your new teacher for the next year. Maybe I can’t teach as well as your teacher Hu, but I will work hard like her, and like her, I hope that one day in the future, all of you can walk out of the village with your chests upright. Ok, let's start class.During the first month of the month, Zhao Jiadi was preparing to give lectures, and he was not stage-frightened teaching primary school students with his background. Although the children did not reject this new teacher who was said to be Teacher Hu’s boyfriend at first, they didn’t have much emotion, they just beat each other hard. Spiritual lectures.Zhao Jiadi didn't say anything much, except that he ran and climbed the mountain twice in the morning and evening, and the simplest three meals a day to satisfy food and clothing, and the only thing he had to do was to attend classes and prepare for lessons.About a month later, the children finally had laughter and started to get close to him. Zhao Jiadi finally understood why Hu Li was willing to stay in Xiaoshanwo, because there was no flashy city and sophistication here. The sound of reading is the biggest reward.Zhao Jiadi, like Hu Li back then, walked for more than half an hour, bumped the tractor for about the same time, and finally took the bus to the county seat, bought extracurricular books with all his first month's salary, and took out his wallet in an old Xinhua bookstore When he was paying, Zhao Jiadi saw the photo in it, his eyes were firm, and he left the bookstore with a big bag of books.Then I went to the post office and got six or seven economics monographs mailed by Sister Dongcao, as well as a financial report of Jinhai Industrial.Sitting on the tractor, he now smokes the cheapest Huangguoshu cigarettes with red casings. Only by handing this kind of cigarettes to the elderly in the village can they smoke with peace of mind.

Knowing that he is the teacher of Guanyin Village Elementary School, the tractor master is very polite, chatting along the way, one drives the tractor, the other sits wobbly on the back, got off the tractor, Zhao Jiadi wanted to pass him cigarettes, but he refused, It is said that the teachers in Guanyin Village are all good people. In the past, Teacher Li taught all his life. Later, Teacher Hu was even more good. He died on the podium. open your eyes.Mr. Zhao, you have to smoke my cigarettes, you should.In the end, Zhao Jiadi took a cigarette in a tractor, carried a bag with a cigarette in his mouth, and walked on the path more than ten times a year. She also walked like this. She is a weak girl, and she will definitely work harder. , she was doted on by her parents since she was a child, but she seemed to have suffered all over that year.Zhao Jiadi returned to the village and put carefully selected extra-curricular books into the simple bookshelf in the corner of the classroom. At first, he didn't understand her good intentions and why she didn't just spend money and buy the most books for the children The best desks and chairs. After staying for a month, I understand that every innocent and kind child here has their own life. As a teacher, I can only teach and educate people. Excessive material wealth will only be counterproductive. It is not just a bad thing for a child to grow up in hardship. Looking at the books on the bookshelf that she spent more than a year selecting, Zhao Jiadi stood alone in the classroom and thought a lot. The irresponsible stocking of him may not be without Zhao Sanjin's painstaking efforts.Back on the second floor, I boiled a pot of water. The tea leaves were brought by the villagers. They were picked from the wild tea trees, and the tea was very fragrant.Zhao Jiadi sat at the desk, and outside the window was a bright starry sky, so clean and beautiful that any city dweller who was so busy that he forgot to raise his head would feel trembling. Zhao Jiadi drank tea and began to prepare lessons. It is well preserved. Zhao Jiadi likes to look at her handwriting when he feels tired. Her handwriting has never been beautiful, it can only be considered delicate, but Zhao Jiadi knows that in the eyes of the children in the village, no matter how profound his handwriting is , would not be as good-looking as Mr. Hu's chalk writing. Zhao Jiadi didn't feel wronged, she deserved it.After preparing for the class for two hours, he started reading economics monographs and taking notes from the book. The task he set for himself was to read a book thoroughly every week, and his post-reading impressions should be at least one-third of that book. One word count.She used her short life to tell him a truth, only by being right to herself and being responsible to herself can she be worthy of others and the people she cares about.

She actually paid for the Hope Primary School in the village that had already broken ground. She didn't tell the children about it, and neither did Zhao Jiadi.He believes that when the children grow up, no matter whether they are promising or not, good or bad, their Teacher Hu will be the person they respect most.

Zhao Jiadi won the pure hearts of the children with his extraordinary patience.As he said on the first day, he will teach with the same heart as Mr. Hu, and this Mr. Zhao's class is very interesting. It seems that he always has one wonderful idea after another in his head, and he will teach them the things in the big city. , He told the boys that when they grow up, no matter how much money you have in your pocket, you must be able to stand upright and talk to a man with 1000 billion 1 million yuan, neither humble nor overbearing.He told the girls that no matter whether you are beautiful or not when you grow up, you should be kind. Kind women are the most attractive, just like your teacher Hu.He would also take them to play the game of eagle and chicken when get out of class was over, and he would also make slingshots for boys, take them to play mahjong after class, or teach them some of the simplest stances.Once, a child in the village was bullied by a child from a wealthy family in an outer village. In the end, the relatively wealthy wealthy family beat the village relentlessly. He told the boys afterwards that there will still be people who bully the villagers unreasonably in the future. Even if they fight, the teacher will definitely stand by your side. At that time, the children knew that Mr. Zhao was a very good teacher just like Mr. Hu. Well, he can reason with people, and he is also a man who can beat down seven or eight strong men.

When Zhao Jiadi was out of class, he would occasionally smoke a cigarette, and now the boys were happy to join him, and he would always laugh and scold the kid while he was cooling off, don't even try to smoke the teacher's second-hand smoke.The boys all licked their faces and asked Mr. Zhao if we got two hundred points in the exam, can you give us a cigarette.Zhao Jiadi always waved his hand and said that he would ask the teacher for a cigarette after the hair in your crotch is fully grown, otherwise I would find out that someone picked up my cigarette butt and secretly ran to the latrine to smoke, so I had to take it Your ass pumps.The boys laughed loudly, saying that Mr. Zhao, we all have long hair, if you don't believe me, we will take it off immediately.At this time, the girls will turn red and run away.Zhao Jiadi laughed with the boys.

Zhao Jiadi did not let anyone related to him come to the village. The leaders of Jinhai Industry in Sichuan tried to change ways to curry favor with the "unreasonable" prince who was a supporting teacher, but they were all rejected. Unwilling, and then the big boss called, and everyone was scared into silence, and they didn't dare to talk nonsense.During the summer vacation, Zhao Jiadi organized a composition group and a calligraphy group. In addition to helping the family with the field work, the children wrote compositions and practiced calligraphy in the classroom.Every time Zhao Jiadi came back from the county town to buy books, he would bring some soft leather from the beer lid to make a string of sandbags.The village killed chickens, and he could make shuttlecocks out of chicken feathers, and he was even dragged by the girls to kick shuttlecocks together. He kicked the shuttlecock very badly, and the girls smiled innocently, while the boys started booing, saying, Mr. Zhao, why are you climbing up the mountain and climbing trees? So it's not so good to kick the shuttlecock.And when Zhao Jia jumped the rubber band for the first time, his end was even more miserable, and the boys were rolling with laughter without mercy. These scenes became the scenery of Guanyin Village that was destined not to fade for a long time.

Every weekend, Zhao Jiadi would go to that grave, squatting and blowing some tunes with leaves, the song "Lilac Flower" being the most popular.

Or sitting on the top of the mountain, where she often sat in a daze, muttering to herself.

Teaching in rural areas is not easy. If you teach well in the textbooks, everything will be fine. There are a few rural children who are very stubborn. Zhao Jiadi is not always irritable or even irritable. Going there with a hot ideal, but there are not a few people who are worn out bit by bit by the hard life. It can even be said that many children will not be obedient if they don’t beat them. Many things are useless and useless. But Zhao Jiadi never even showed it on his face, because every time he stood in front of the podium, he would tell himself that this blackboard and the land under his feet were all left unintentionally by her, but it was very real and profound. Zhao Jiadi quietly and fulfillingly spent a winter vacation and a subsequent summer vacation in the mountain village. After the summer vacation ended, he continued to teach the children. Now the students in the four grades have fully recognized this teacher Zhao. They like this teacher. The young male teacher’s devotion under the blackboard, he likes how he squatted under the bell to show them how to blow smoke rings during class, he likes that he occasionally goes to their house to eat the simplest and home-cooked meals, and likes that he and their father have a drink and smoke a few He smoked a cigarette, and finally swayed away with a blushing face. The girls also sincerely liked this teacher who had never made progress in kicking the shuttlecock and jumping the rubber band. They liked that he could write very powerful chalk characters, and liked that he told them about the good and bad things about girls in the city. Bad.

A year passed by quickly or slowly, and Zhao Jiadi still spent this Spring Festival in the village, with a bottle of wine and two packs of cigarettes, wrapped in a cotton coat that he had just bought in the county, and was on sale. The price is 120 after the [-]% discount. The clothes are very warm, and they are New Year’s clothes. They just squatted on the grave all night without talking to themselves. He always felt that she was always looking at him. What she said but didn't say, she thought she knew.After the Spring Festival and Lantern Festival, I specially took the children to a new school, and personally accompanied the children to school.The Hope Primary School is very big, and the children feel that it is bigger than the whole village combined. In fact, it is not that exaggerated, but for the children who are used to the four-year-old crowded in a small classroom, it is the largest school in the world. .

It was Hu Li's wish to name Hope Primary School as Guanyin Village Primary School.

The crisp bell rang, and Zhao Jiadi watched the children walk into their classrooms, where they sat on the edge of the sandpit in the 400-meter-long playground and smoked a cigarette.Then I went back to a canteen in my hometown, called my family, and said, grandma, I'm back.

On New Year's Eve, Zhao Jiadi made a special phone call to his grandma to report his safety in the town where he went.

Zhao Baliang didn't want to be a good person at all, he just wanted the simplest peace of mind.
