Traveling to the Earth: My martial spirit is a hoe

The family courtyard in the county was built in the 90s and is a standard tube building. The house has six floors in total, there is no elevator, and there are more than a dozen households on the first floor.

Perhaps it’s because teachers and family members live here, and their quality is relatively high. The house is well maintained, the corridors are clean, and there are no debris piled up at the door.

However, due to the flaws in the design of the Tongzi Building, the lighting in the middle aisle is poor, and the white walls on both sides have become a little yellowed due to the baptism of time. There is always a feeling of darkness after entering the originally not spacious aisle.

In recent years, as the real estate boom has spread to small counties, many teachers have used their savings over the years to buy houses outside. There are not many people living in Tongzilou now.

Because Luo Pingan came from the countryside, his family had no background and no ability to sponsor him. He had to support a large family with only his dead wages.

Being able to get out of that small mountain village with your own efforts is already very impressive. It is basically impossible to buy a house in the city.

Of course, this is also related to his personality. The Luo family seems to be born with a stubborn temper. Nowadays, education is becoming more and more capitalized, and many teachers have switched jobs to private schools.

The salary will immediately double, and there will also be some gray income, such as red envelopes from parents of students, commissions from the sale of learning materials, tuition fees from private lessons, etc.

Luo Ping'an has been rated as an outstanding teacher for six consecutive years. He has taught two classes of senior high school students, and his class's admission rate has reached a terrifying 6%.

It is said that a nationally renowned school in the provincial capital once offered him a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan in an attempt to poach him, but he did not agree.

And there are countless parents in the county who want to ask him to make up lessons.

So if he wanted to, he could have lived a life that others would envy.

But Luo Pingfan has a stubborn temper. He believes that the profession of a teacher is noble, and to be a teacher one must set an example, and education should be pure and untainted.

So the result of this persistence is that some of his classmates and colleagues who work with him are already in high positions, and some are already rich, and he still lives with his family in this unit dormitory of only 60 square meters.

When Luo Qiong was in school in the county, his second uncle would call him home for a meal every weekend.

Luo Pingfan knew the situation in his hometown very well. The monthly living expenses his eldest brother gave Luo Qiong was not much, so he could only afford the most basic meals at school.

The second uncle felt sorry for his nephew, so he used Luo Qiong to play at his house every weekend to give the nephew some nutrition.

Because Luo Ping'an ate commercial grain, according to the family planning policy of the year, he could only have one child. He has a daughter named Luo Ruiqing, who is the same age as Luo Qiong, but just a few months younger than him.

Perhaps because he didn't have a son, his second uncle was very, very good to Luo Qiong and took good care of her at school.

Therefore, Luo Qiong still has very deep feelings for this second uncle, which is why he directly spent all the money given by his father to buy gifts.

In this way, Luo Qiong climbed to the sixth floor carrying large and small bags. After passing through the long aisle, he finally stopped at the end of the aisle.

When I walked to my second uncle's door, the door was still the same blue steel security door from that era in the last century. Inside was an old but clean wooden door.

Because the Chinese New Year has just passed, there are still two couplets posted on the door, which read:

First couplet: Admire bamboo and be brave, dare to show strength to the sky

Second line: Promoting the righteousness of the lotus, and establishing a clear name from the turbid water

Looking at the notes, Luo Qiong knew that this should be written by the second uncle himself. When he was a child, before the second uncle settled in the city, the couplets for the New Year were written by the second uncle himself, so Luo Qiong was very familiar with these fonts.

And even if he didn't look at the font, it was just the content of the couplet, Luo Qiong knew that it must have been written by his second uncle. Others were always happy during the New Year, and some of them even showed off their integrity when posting Spring Festival couplets during the New Year.

He knocked gently on the door, and soon a voice came from inside.

"Who is it? Didn't you already tell us that we don't accept gifts? Why are you still here?"

The voice came out before the person arrived, but it was obvious that the host was not in a good mood. There was a hint of impatience in his tone, and he seemed to be unwilling to complain.

Luo Qiong knew it was the second aunt's voice.

"Second Aunt, I'm Erwazi. I'm here to see you and my second uncle."

When Luo Qiong announced his door, the door opened with a click.

Through the metal security door, Luo Qiong saw a man wearing a beige turtleneck sweater and a pair of woolen trousers. Her hair was simply pulled back and clamped with a large clip. A middle-aged woman with an oval face and rosy eyes came out.

This person is Luo Ping'an's wife. That is Luo Qiong’s aunt Zhou Yaru.

"Oh, Erbazi, come in quickly, come in quickly."

The second aunt smiled immediately when she saw the serious face of the visitor. She quickly opened the security door and pulled Luo Qiong in.

Zhou Yaru works at a maternal and child health hospital in the county. She has always wanted to have a son, but because the couple works both jobs, they can only have one.

So he liked Luo Qiong, his nephew, very much. When Luo Qiong was studying in the county, every weekend when Luo Qiong came over, he would cook him a lot of delicious food, and he would bring a big bag of snacks with him before leaving.

Not only did she care about Luo Qiong, but when Luo Qiong fell ill, it was this same aunt who helped pay all the immediate medical expenses without saying a word. During Luo Qiong's recovery period, she also visited her home many times, and every time she went, she brought nutritional supplements in large and small packages.

It was still early spring and it was still relatively cold outside. After Luo Qiong entered the house, Zhou Yaru immediately closed the door. ,

"Auntie, I'm also here to give you a gift. You won't accept this gift, right?"

With that said, Luo Qiong put the things in his hands on the coffee table in the living room.

"We are all a family, what kind of gift do you want to give us!"

The second aunt didn't even look at the gifts on the table, but went straight to the kitchen. When she came out, she had a plate filled with various snacks in her hand.

When he came back and saw what was on the table, his face immediately fell.

"Erwazi, did something happen at home again?"

"Ah! No, auntie, everything is fine at home!"

Luo Qiong was a little confused when her second aunt asked her this question.

"Then why did you buy such expensive things?"

After hearing that everything was fine at home, the second aunt was obviously relieved, and then she went straight to the things on the table.

In the past, Luo Qiong would bring them some vegetables and specialties grown in his hometown every time he came from home.

These things are grown at home and are not very expensive, and they are pure green and pollution-free. The couple also likes to eat them, so they happily accept what Luo Qiong brings every time.

This was the first time I saw that in addition to the familiar local products, there were two packs of fruit and a pack of cigarettes on the table.

Not to mention other things, the cigarette alone cost more than 200 yuan. Zhou Yaru knew the economic situation of her hometown. These few hundred yuan were not something that the eldest brother and his family could come up with casually.

So when she first saw these gifts, she thought something had happened at home. Luo Qiong came here to ask for help from their family.

"Oh, you are talking about these things!"

Luo Qiong was relieved at this time. Seeing his second aunt so surprised, he thought there was something going on at home! With the current situation of their family, they really can't afford anything else to happen.

"My dad asked me to bring this. He said it was about suspending school last year. Thanks to the help of my second uncle, and you didn't go back to your hometown for the Chinese New Year this year, so I came to see you. By the way, my second uncle and Hanhan Woolen cloth!"

"Your second uncle has classes today, and Hanhan has also gone to school. Don't interrupt, kid. We've kept the local specialties, but we can't accept other things."
