The reborn neighbor has a daughter

Chapter 18

Chen Qianyi hurried on the road.

She first took the train, then transferred to a long-distance bus after arriving in the provincial capital, then transferred to a van after getting off the bus, and finally took a tractor ride... It took a total of four days before she came to this small mountain village called Wangjiling .

What a poor place this is!Chen Qianyi's first impression of this place was the yellow land that could not be seen at a glance... There is basically no green vegetation here, and there are dry yellow mud everywhere...

The village head of Wangjiling Village heard the news and led the village officials to the village entrance to meet Chen Qianyi.

After chatting with the village chief for a while, Chen Qianyi followed the village chief's gestures and looked towards the legendary Wangjiling Primary School... She saw two or three rooms built with a few broken boards on a short loess slope Yes, crooked house.

Although she was mentally prepared for the hard life here, she was still surprised by this situation!She took a closer look, and found that the house was really dilapidated, with dark wooden boards and seams everywhere... What if it rains?

After hearing this, the village head quickly waved his hands, "It never rains here..."

Hearing that the new teacher was coming, all the children and parents of Wangjiling Village went to the school to watch her, and Chen Qianyi found the roster left by the former supporting teacher on the podium of the classroom.

Wangjiling Primary School has a total of 27 students, including first-grade freshmen, six second-grade students, five third-grade students, seven fourth-grade students, five fifth-grade students, four sixth-grade students...

Chen Qianyi will spend a whole year here.In the coming year, as the sole teacher of Wangjiling Primary School, she will serve as the children's language boss, math teacher, natural science teacher, art, music and physical education teacher...

This is really a long way to go!

It took Chen Qianyi two days to rest and prepare. On the third day, she went to inform the village head that Wangjiling Primary School had officially started registration, and classes would start on September [-]st!

On September 27st, all 3 students from grades [-] to [-] sat in the classroom; even [-] freshmen from grade [-] came.

Chen Qianyi suddenly became busy!So when she remembered from her heavy work that she should call home to report that she was safe, the weather had already started to turn cold.

Wangjiling Village does not have a phone call, not even a mobile phone signal; although there is electricity here, but Chen Qianyi has been here for more than two months, and she has never seen the lights in the school turn on...

On this day, she took the ox cart that the villagers went to the town to go to the market, and went to the town with the villagers; the first thing she did when she arrived in the town was to find a small shop and call home.

The first call came home, and it was Jiang's mother who answered it, and then the mother and son couldn't stop holding the phone. Jiang's mother carefully told Chen Qianyi about Chen's father's situation in detail, and then He also asked about Chen Qianyi's situation. Is it cold? Did you bring enough clothes?Is the quilt warm enough?Is there enough fruit to eat...

Chen Qianyi naturally reported good news but not bad news.

She said that she had a good life in Wangjiling Village. The folks here are very kind and always give her various souvenirs; the children are very motivated and obedient, and they study very hard; The location is a bit out of the way, and there is no phone call.But that's okay, she can go to town and make a phone call home every other month...

Then Chen Qianyi chatted with her father for a few days, and reported the situation of the school here and the children's situation to her father. Father Chen has been a primary school teacher for a lifetime, and gave her daughter a lot of suggestions. This made Chen Qianyi feel very teachable.

After talking on the phone, Chen Qianyi called Mama Wang again.Mama Wang was so happy that she kept asking about her recent situation, and then told Wang Yan's recent situation. It was nothing more than that Wang Yan was very busy... Mama Wang hadn't seen him for a long time. I usually don't even make a phone call...

Chen Qianyi comforted Ms. Wang, and the two chatted for a while before hanging up the phone.

Immediately afterwards, she dialed Wang Yan's cell phone number with trembling fingers...but just as she subconsciously thought, no one answered Wang Yan's cell phone again.

Chen Qianyi was very disappointed.

She didn't give up, and dialed several times in a row, but no one answered his phone... What's wrong?Could it be that she and Wang Yan are so unfated?

Although no one answered Wang Yan's phone call, she stubbornly stood by the canteen and didn't want to leave... She thought to herself, maybe Wang Yan would call back after seeing the caller ID...

But Chen Qianyi never waited for Wang Yan's call.

It wasn't until it was almost dark that she bought some daily necessities in the town, then boarded the villager's ox cart for the return journey, and looked back at Jiling Village.

Although it is always difficult to calm down, one person has to deal with the courses of six different classes, which is also a very intensive mental activity... So Chen Qianyi didn't have time to think too much at all.

During the day, she had to teach the children; at night, after dark, she had to prepare for the Chinese and mathematics lessons that the six classes would have the next day. Naturally, Wang Yan was thrown aside by her.

Before you know it, it's winter vacation; this year's winter vacation has a total of 22 days.

Chen Qianyi thought about the tense atmosphere of the Spring Festival travel, and decided not to go back for the New Year; after all, she only stayed in Wangjiling to teach for one year, and at worst, she would not go back for a year.

Now that she decided to stay for the New Year, Chen Qianyi wanted to find something to do.Otherwise, staying in such a place where electricity and running water are just decorations is really too stressful.

The classrooms of Wangjiling Primary School are really dilapidated...

The windows must be leaky, and the door cannot be closed tightly; in this winter, when the children are in the classroom, the cold wind keeps drilling into the classroom.

Therefore, when the weather is fine, Chen Qianyi will let the children transfer to the small soil flat at the door of the classroom to go to class.But by doing this, although the children are not cold anymore; but if the concentration is weak, the children will always be attracted by one thing or another...

Taking advantage of the holiday, Chen Qianyi had nothing to do, so she went to the village head to borrow a hammer, some nails, wooden sticks, etc., and tried her best to repair the classroom.

On this day, she had been busy all day, she was hungry, and it was getting dark soon.She put down the hammer, turned and went to the kitchen to cook.

The people in Wangjiling treated the only teacher in their village very well. It was a convention among the people in the village. Every day, someone would automatically and consciously bring firewood and water to Chen Qianyi.

The village head of Wangjiling Village is responsible for supplying Mr. Chen with rice, noodles and oil; people in the village also send some radishes and cabbage to Mr. Chen from time to time, so although Chen Qianyi's life is a bit rough, but Don't worry about food or drink.

Here, Chen Qianyi even learned how to cook with firewood.

So at this moment, she steamed two small sweet potatoes with yellow hearts in the white rice. When the rice was cooked, she picked out a few pieces of spicy pickled radishes from the small clay pot with chopsticks, and then she held the big ones by herself. Tao Wan, sitting at the door of the dormitory, started eating.

Chen Qianyi was eating deliciously while holding a bowl, when suddenly someone walked towards her.

She has lived here in Wangji Ridge for half a year, and she already has a better understanding of the life of the local people here; usually during meal time, no one in the village will walk around at will...

She took a bite of a piece of crispy radish, and thought it was spicy and refreshing; she quickly took a bite of the rice, and after chewing a couple of bites, she suddenly saw... Wang Yan?
Chen Qianyi opened her mouth wide.

The piece of spicy radish that she bit into half fell out of her mouth...

"You just eat this?" Wang Yan walked up to her with a bulging travel bag on his back. After seeing the contents of her bowl clearly, the expression on his face immediately collapsed.

Chen Qianyi stared at him blankly, unable to react for a long time.

The tall Wang Yan stood in front of her like a hill, stretched out his hand, picked up a piece of spicy radish from her bowl, threw it into his mouth and began to chew... But soon, the choking and spicy taste The smell made him frown.

"Wang Yan?" Chen Qianyi finally came to her senses, she jumped up all of a sudden, but she was holding the big pottery bowl and didn't know what to do... She had to run back to the kitchen and put the bowl on the stove , and then ran out quickly.

"Wang Yan?" She exclaimed in surprise, "Why are you here... How do you know I'm here? How did you find me... Are you tired? Are you thirsty..."

She took the travel bag that Wang Yan was carrying behind her, let him sit on the only stool, and then hurriedly poured him a cup of hot water from her own cup.

Immediately afterwards, she quickly lit the fire again, continued to simmer another pot of rice, cut a piece of bacon and threw it into the pot... Beat two more eggs, tore a few cabbage leaves and beat them Egg Drop Soup...

When she did all this, it was completely dark.

Chen Qianyi lit the kerosene lamp skillfully, and then the two had dinner under the dim kerosene lamp.

Wang Yan didn't talk much at first, but after seeing the conditions and environment on her side with his own eyes, he became even more silent.

Chen Qianyi didn't take it seriously, it wasn't the first time she met Wang Yan, and she had long been used to his taciturnity; but counting, she and Wang Yan hadn't met for more than a whole year, so she was very nervous at the moment. Excited, chattering in his ears all the time...

After eating, Chen Qianyi cleaned up the dishes, then took Wang Yan with one hand and the kerosene lamp with the other, and walked towards her dormitory.

As she walked, she also told Wang Yan that where there is a step, one should be careful; where there is a threshold, one should be careful...

Wang Yan didn't speak all the time, but turned his hand around and held her callused hand tightly.

After Chen Qianyi led him to her dormitory, she became worried.

Her dormitory was only the size of a palm, and there was a single bed in it.Usually, she feels a bit cramped sleeping alone, let alone the tall Wang Yan... It was getting dark so fast just now, and she couldn't take a good look at Wang Yan; but she can be sure that Wang Yan looks Much stronger than before!

After thinking about it, she said to Wang Yan, "You can sleep here tonight, I'll spend the night at the village chief's house..."

"No!" Wang Yan said, "Let's sleep together tonight..."

"The two of us can't sleep..." Chen Qianyi tried to explain to him, "My bed is too small, I can't..."

"You're gone, I'll be scared if I sleep alone!" Wang Yan said confidently, and his next sentence immediately blocked Chen Qianyi's persuasion, "I don't want to live in someone else's house, I'll just sleep here... ..."
