Chapter 110 Thinking too much
Chapter 110 Thinking too much
Li Manping knew that Zhou Qiao's mother had given her another pair of younger siblings last year, and her parents had paid much less attention to her. If the life in the small mountain village had not improved in the past two years, Zhou Qiao might not have been able to go to school and would have had to take care of her younger siblings at home.
Zhou Qiao's personality has also changed. Her mother had a hard time during pregnancy, and she was always busy taking care of her mother. It seems that she was influenced by her mother, or maybe she grew up and became quiet.
Li Manping no longer had the fierceness, unreasonableness and courage she had when she first met her.
But she also went to see the two little guys. They were indeed very cute and they really needed adults to spend more attention on them.
"That's enough, Sister Fang Yi. This is Sister Zhou Qiao's private matter. You can't ask her from your perspective, and this is a normal thing."
Li Manping felt that this matter was not so incredible. Everyone has their own opinions, ways of living, and thoughts. As long as there is no harm, it is normal to put one's own mood first.
Sister Zhou Qiao is now in love. She has a crush on a boy. It's okay to care about things related to him. It's not worthy of criticism.
"You, you..."
Fang Yi was angry and anxious, but she didn't know why she was angry. Was she going to tell them that all men in the world were scum and couldn't marry?
It is said that after a woman gets married, she is an outsider in her husband's family, and she has to be guarded against when she gives birth to children and serves her parents-in-law. Or is it said that after a woman gets married, she is a guest in her parents' family, and is it better to be alone and beautiful when she has no home?
If she dared to say these words, they would definitely look at her with crazy looks.
"Sister, what's wrong with you? Isn't it okay if you have someone you like?"
12-year-old Fan Fangrong was also a little girl. She looked at her eldest sister who was panting and asked doubtfully. When she was playing with her little sisters in the village, she always discussed which boy was more beautiful and which boy she liked more. Was she wrong?
"It's nothing. You're still young and don't understand. Let me think about it."
Fang Yi sent her third sister away. She wanted to use the many tragedies she had seen in her previous life to warn her friends to keep their eyes open and not to be fooled by men.
The pleasant atmosphere was a bit stagnant. Fortunately, the school was in a different place and they had to go their separate ways.
Looking at the gray wall in front of them, that is their school. There are no high-rise buildings with several floors, no flower beds and landscaping, and there is no clean and bright house like the later generations. There are only a row of small houses separated by short mud walls.
Nowadays, the tuition fee for school is not high, only two or three silver dollars per semester. Unfortunately, many families cannot afford it, so there are not many students in the school.
And most of them are boys, and there are only a few girls in each class. It is unprecedented for the Fan family to send four girls to school, and it once caused a sensation in the school.
Li Manping and the four sisters from the Fan family walked into their respective classes and waited for the teacher to teach them.
Hey, hey, a classmate called her and threw a stone on her rotten desk.
Li Manping turned around and saw that he was the gossip king in the class, a boy who especially loved to inquire about news.
"Classmate Li, have you heard? Our school has a new teacher coming to teach us today. I heard that she is a female teacher. Do you think she is pretty?"
"Is it related to us?"
Li Manping rolled her eyes. She didn't know anything, so how could she guess? Besides, she was about to graduate, so this teacher had little to do with them.
"Tch, you are so boring and don't care about current affairs. Let me tell you, I heard from my aunt next door that the new teacher is the wife of our new county magistrate. I heard she is a doctor of Western medicine."
……
Seeing that Li Manping still had no expression, he changed his classmate to harass her. Maybe the two of them had similar odors, so they were particularly excited.
Li Manping's mind thought of the grand occasion when their county welcomed the People's Liberation Army at the beginning of the year. At that time, she learned about the peaceful liberation of Guangtian County from her uncle who went home to watch dumplings. She also knew that the Red Party troops would be stationed in the county tomorrow. , and took over all management of the county, she couldn't control her excitement.
Who can have such an opportunity as her and experience first-hand the enthusiasm of the people in the liberated areas to welcome new life. The good life they expect is just ahead, and the future is visible and smooth.
The next day, she and her classmates mingled in the crowd, feeling the excitement on the faces of passers-by. She followed them and trotted to the city gate, where almost everyone in the county gathered. They stood on both sides, everyone stretched out their arms. Looking outside with long necks, there are their expectations.
As groups of soldiers with dark faces and guns on their backs stepped into the city gate, the smiles on people's faces became wider and wider, and they couldn't help but shed tears along with the thundering cheers.
They have been looking forward to this day for many years, waiting for many years, and finally it has arrived. From now on, they no longer need to be afraid or anxious.
Li Manping's eye circles were also red. She was infected by the atmosphere of the scene. The troubled times where gunfire roared and human lives were like nothing were over. They would have a stable life and could sleep peacefully.
Ding ding ding, the school bell rang, Li Manping took back her thoughts and began to attend class seriously.
She also saw the new female teacher. She was indeed a pretty woman, she looked to be in her 30s, and she came to give them a hygiene class with a pregnant belly of six to seven months.
It seems that her teaching is only for a short period of time. If she is really the wife of the county magistrate in the future, her purpose of teaching should not be simple.
After school, Li Manping did not go back to the village with the children in the village. When she was studying, she lived in her parents' shop in the county and only went back to the village on weekends.
"Slowly, there is no more sauce at home, go and buy some."
Yang Qin is busy making clothes, and Li Yishan, who volunteered, is busy with dinner. Now most of the housework is his responsibility.
He originally wanted to teach in a middle school, but his daughter stopped him with excuses and asked him to hide the fact that he had studied abroad. Unable to find out the reason, he had no choice but to work as a master in a tailor shop, making clothes for people to make a living. This was a leisurely job. There is plenty of free time.
"coming."
Li Manping threw away her satchel, grabbed the bottle and went to a nearby grocery store.
"Yangzi, you...walk slower...I can't keep up..."
Li Manping walked back with the soy sauce when she heard gasping sounds from behind her. She turned back curiously and saw a boy who was about a head taller than her and had an average face. He was holding a boy about the same size as him in his left hand. The tall, fat man walked quickly behind her.
Oh my God, are there such fat people now?
You must know that because of the good living conditions, Li Manping is already 1.6 meters tall, and the two boys are at least 1.8 meters tall.
Li Manping consciously stepped aside and watched as the thin young man pulled two fat guys who were more than him in a few steps and passed her.
"Yoko, I...I don't want to continue going to high school. After graduation this year, I will go home...and work with my dad. Next year...you will have to go to high school alone..."
The fat man's somewhat guilty voice came, and Li Manping was confused. Looking at his figure, she knew that his family was rich, so why.
"Well, it doesn't matter. You just learn from your uncle and when you're done, just treat me to a good meal."
The thin young man's tone was tepid, as if he didn't take what his friend said to heart, and just pulled him forward.
Li Manping followed the two of them and listened to their conversation. She knew that Fatty's family had produced two generations of cooks and that he would be the third generation. She knew that the tall and thin one was older than her and was about to graduate from middle school.
When they reached the corner of the street, which was very close to her shop, Li Manping turned to the left neatly, while the two people turned to the right.
The young man looked back at her back as she walked to the left, and breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that she was really just walking along the same road. He thought she knew him and had inappropriate thoughts about him.
After all, he was afraid of being pursued and entangled by female classmates in school. If he just met a stranger on the road by chance, it wouldn't matter.
