"Ms. Zhou, don't rush away." The person who spoke was Lin Dayou, whom Zhou Xiaozhou had just met.

The man looked to be about twenty-four or twenty-five, and like most of the men in the village, he had a dark face and a medium build, but he looked quite strong.

Zhou Xiaozhou didn't know why Lin Dayou called her, so she had to wait there obediently.

She is a little scared now.

The people here are weird, and the place is weird too. If she does something different and annoys the people here, she doesn't know if anyone would really think she's possessed by a ghost or something.

Lin Dayou picked up a piece of bacon in his hand and pretended to hand it to Zhou Xiaozhou, but Zhou Xiaozhou didn't dare to take it and waved his hands away.

Lin Dayou said, "This was discussed by the villagers."

Placing the meat on a wooden table in the yard, Lin Dayou explained to Zhou Xiaozhou: "Miss Zhou, the village chief said that if children in the village come to you to learn to read, the adults in your family will have to provide you with meals."

He rubbed his hands and chuckled, "But the harvest has not been very good recently, and food is very precious. This piece of meat weighs nearly three pounds, and it can be regarded as a gift for our children. Please don't despise it."

At this time, another strong man came up behind him and also put a small piece of bacon on the table.

He smiled in the same honest and kind way and said, "Miss Zhou, we also know that you would never look down upon such things outside. It's not that we mountain people are deliberately bullying you. It's just that this year is difficult. These few things are just our token of our appreciation. Don't think it's too little. When life gets better next year, we will give you more. Village chief, let's make this agreement, right!"

At the end, the last man looked at Old Wu and motioned him to check to see if he had said anything wrong.

The men and women following behind followed suit, putting the strips of meat in their hands on the wooden table, and then thanked Zhou Xiaozhou for his hard work.

After watching these people doing all this, Zhou Xiaozhou finally understood that it turned out that Old Wu was really a black-hearted person.

It was agreed that the village would provide her with food and accommodation, but now it has been distributed to each household.

The families of the children who came to school gave a few pounds of meat as tuition for their children, which was also considered as the village providing her with food.

Zhou Xiaozhou felt that if Old Wu really lost the simplicity and kindness of a farmer, who knows how evil his heart would become.

He is definitely a dishonest businessman.

But the situation was already like this, and Zhou Xiaozhou couldn't say no.

In the end, she only asked one core question: where did she live?

She no longer dared to use the hard bed that Wu Sanmei and Wu Xiaobao had, and she also had no illusions about having a latex mattress like the one at home. It would be enough to just put some straw on her bed.

Old Wu knocked on his pipe and lit a cigarette: "Miss Zhou, I really have to inconvenience you. You have to continue to squeeze in with Third Sister. After this period of time, we will build a separate house for you next to the school, okay?"

Could she refuse? Of course not.

This old man has a very bad heart and wants Wu Sanmei, the jailer, to continue watching over her.

Even if she refused, Zhou Xiaozhou thought that this black-hearted village elder Wutou would have a million reasons to convince her.

Then it was decided that during his teaching period, Zhou Xiaozhou would stay in the boudoir of Wu Sanmei of the Wu family.

For meals, we had bacon sent by the students' parents.

But this bacon cannot be eaten as a meal, so Old Wu had no choice but to accept it and exchanged his own food for Zhou Xiaozhou's meat strips.

In other words, Zhou Xiaozhou stayed at the Wu family's house and became a roommate.

Good guy, Zhou Xiaozhou exclaimed. Good guy.

As expected, the village chiefs are all evil-hearted. This old Wu didn't give anything (what he gave was Wu Sanmei, who gave up half of her bed and cooked an extra meal for one person), but got bacon for free, plus a volunteer teacher who was on call at his house 24 hours a day.

Even the most evil capitalist wouldn't dare to offer such salary.

Zhou Xiaozhou's heart was filled with tears, but he didn't dare to resist. He kept saying, "How can I be so embarrassed? I've already caused a lot of trouble for your family. I'll have to trouble you, Third Sister, more in the future."

"Then I'll leave it to Miss Zhou." The atmosphere in the yard suddenly became relaxed and warm. A group of parents of students were here complimenting the teacher, wanting the teacher to take care of their children.

This atmosphere made Zhou Xiaozhou feel a little dazed, as if she had returned to her childhood.

At that time, Lao Zhou was still working at the school. Every time the school started, many parents of students would bring their children to their house to get acquainted with the family.

At that time, listening to the flattering tone of others, parents called her Teacher Zhou all the time, and when the children they brought played together, they all surrounded her, coaxed her and gave in to her. She raised her little chin and felt very honored.

Now she has become Teacher Zhou.

Zhou Xiaozhou suddenly understood a little bit why Old Zhou insisted on letting her come here to teach.

I guess Lao Zhou just wants to see her reproduce her former glory here.

After all, teachers in schools nowadays are all service personnel and cannot enjoy the feeling of being admired by celebrities.

People come quickly and leave even faster.

It didn't take long for them to leave.

Wu Sanmei appeared at the right time and took away the fifteen kilograms of bacon.

Yes, the villagers sent exactly 15 kilograms of dried bacon, which once again proved that Lu Linlin's reputation as a fortune teller was not exaggerated.

But Zhou Xiaozhou didn't lie!

She really did good things, and everyone in the village can testify for her.

Zhou Xiaozhou expressed his incomprehension.

Is God trying to kill her?

Did she tell a single lie?

Soon, Old Wu’s family’s lunch was placed on the table that was just filled with bacon.

Zhou Xiaozhou took a closer look and found it was still the familiar recipe, a watery vegetable porridge with a plate of dried pickles, but today there was an extra plate of dried meat.

Wu Xiaobao was very happy!

I haven't seen meat on the dinner table for a long time.

It is normal for children to crave meat when they are growing up.

What is abnormal is that this place is too poor and productivity is too backward. People have difficulty even getting enough food, so how can they ensure their children's nutritional balance for the day?

There is not too much meat and not too little, just enough for one person.

As usual, Zhou Xiaozhou couldn't eat. She shared her piece of meat with Wu Xiaobao, and the little guy instantly smiled so hard that his teeth were showing.

She even glanced at Wu Sanmei on purpose, and saw that the little girl was eating her food obediently, without any of the jealousy that one would get when an older child sees the younger child getting something good.

Oh, this girl is so nice, Zhou Xiaozhou once again exclaimed in his heart!

There wasn't much food, so it was all gone in no time.

Seeing that Zhou Xiaozhou had been jumping around in the village for half a day in the morning, Old Wu immediately decided that Lai'an Village Primary School would be officially established that afternoon.

So, Zhou Xiaozhou was taken by Wu Sanmei to quickly pass the old cemetery and returned to the "village primary school" that he had just visited in the morning, but he found that the thatched hut had changed a lot.
