It rained continuously for several days.

After the sun clears, the summer heat will follow.

Early in the morning, a hundred or so people gathered in front of the Huichun Hall. Adults and children surrounded the big pagoda tree. Some sat in the shade with their own ponytails, and some squatted or sat down. On the ground,? There are also those standing on the edge with arms folded.

The mayor stood on the steps and lowered his hands.

The voice of speaking suddenly disappeared.He cleared his throat and said, "This is good news, great news, the new kid is willing to be a teacher for the children in the town."

Some people don't know Cheng Yanping very well,? They have only met each other, and they know that he has a beautiful face,? Comparable to a fairy,? And he is young, so he has doubts in his heart.

"Is he okay?"

The mayor stared, and the frightened man got into the crowd and dared not speak.

"You are all a bunch of blind people. How do you know the knowledge of young people? Let me tell you that Dr. He and I are still a thousand miles away from others? Do you think he can do it?"

First, the family had a funeral, and asked the mayor to find the couplets written by Cheng Yanping. The family said: "First, I asked Mr. Cheng to help me write the couplets at home. The words are quite beautiful. Even the couplets written by my family in the provincial city The third uncle of the scholar who came back to attend the funeral all praised that the writing is excellent,? It is not something ordinary people can write."

The mayor nodded.

"I told you that if you can invite Yanping to teach your children, it's because the smoke is rising from your ancestral graves. Go home and burn incense and have fun secretly."

The mayor is quite prestigious in Longmen Town, since he has said so far, there will be no difference, and everyone will no longer have any objections.

"I finally persuaded Yan Ping to take over this matter. No matter what he asks for a while, you have to agree to me. If the matter falls apart, I don't care about the children's study. You can find a way to deal with it yourself." Well, when the time comes, I beg my father and grandma to see his face, and don't come back to complain to me later."

The mayor is always smiling on weekdays, and it is rare for him to speak harshly like this.

All of them straightened their backs suddenly, looking forward to Cheng Yanping's arrival.

Although the mayor knew Cheng Yanping's character, he expected that he would not make any excessive demands, but he was still a little bit sure about dealing with the people of Longmen Town. He really wasn't sure.

At first, he miscalculated, saying that scholars are thin-skinned, and asked Zhao Orion to take the initiative. Who would have thought that if he said it first, he would be slapped in the face.

He took the initiative to kiss Zhao Hou.

And kissed twice!

So this time he put his ugly words up front and reminded everyone that Cheng Yanping would not regret it in time. According to the stubborn nature of scholars, if he couldn't persuade him at that time, he would persuade him to run away instead. But it's too bad.

......

Today is a big day for Cheng Yanping.

Zhao Hou didn't dare to be sloppy at all, he got up early, cooked white rice porridge, and fried egg pancakes, he was extraordinarily hospitable and warm.

Cheng Yanping got up late, and when he saw Zhao Hou, he complained, "It's all your fault!"

Because of his sentence "It's not that I can't afford you", Cheng Yanping's heart seemed to have fallen into a honeypot last night, so when he was lying on the bed, he voluntarily slipped into Zhao Hou's In his arms, "Don't look at me, I've been used to rich clothes since I was a child, but I can also endure hardship."

As if afraid that Zhao Hou would not believe it, he propped up half of his body again, looked at Zhao Hou very seriously and said, "Really, it has been more than a year since the accident at my house, and you see I have survived well, so I have raised I don't bother at all."

After hearing this, Zhao Hou felt very uncomfortable.

During dinner, he casually said something, and after he finished speaking, he felt that Cheng Yanping had been used to living a wealthy life since he was a child, and what he said about being able to support him was nothing more than having nothing to worry about, and having a roof over his head. Life is certainly incomparable.

Thinking of this, I feel bored, so the people behind me are also lethargic.

I just didn't expect that Cheng Yanping saw his every word and deed, and said that to him again. At that time, his eyes became hot, and he hugged him into his arms, and secretly made up his mind to take good care of Cheng Yanping in the future. , Give all you have, and give him everything you can give.

The rainy night increased their love, and the two fell asleep with their necks crossed.

Smell the faint sweetness of the man.

Zhao Hou fell in love for a moment, and the two of them quarreled for a while without realizing it.

So he was scolded at this moment, but Zhao Hou was not angry, and smiled at Cheng Yanping, "Sit down and have breakfast! It's the same when you finish eating, and it's fine if you enter the summer crop field. It doesn’t hurt to make them wait a little longer.”

Cheng Yanping ate two hastily, and then went back to the room to change clothes.

He picked out a long black gown, and when he came out, he was a little unnatural, he tugged at the hem and asked Zhao Hou.

"Can I dress like this?"

He always likes to wear light-colored clothes such as white or moon white. Today, in order to look more mature and stable, he chose a black one after thinking about it.

Zhao Hou giggled silly.

"Good-looking. You look good-looking, and you look good in anything you wear!"

Cheng Yanping lowered his eyes, very speechless.

He shouldn't have asked him, and it was useless to ask.

So he snorted and went out. Zhao Hou was afraid that he would be bullied if he went, so he didn't even bother to eat breakfast. He drank two mouthfuls of porridge, took an egg pancake, and ran out after him.

When I got to the big locust tree, I realized that although Longmen Town looked small, there were quite a lot of school-age children.

The mayor saw him from a distance and waved to him.

"Come, come, come here!"

The crowd automatically made way for him, and he walked over slowly, standing shoulder to shoulder with the mayor on the steps.

Before noon, the sky was already very hot, and the leaves under the bright sun were all wilted, curled dry and lifeless.There was no wind in the air, and it was even hotter when everyone was crowded together.

"Thanks to the respect of the neighbors in the town, I was invited to teach the children. When the mayor came to tell me about this, I immediately agreed. It's not for anyone else, but for everyone's care these days. I You have to do what you can for our Longmen Town."

Although his voice was soft, it seemed to carry a magical power.

There is no sound around, only the sound of cicadas in the distance.

"I just want to ask you to promise me one thing."

He cupped his hands at everyone, and said in a calm manner: "I hope that as long as there are children of the right age in your family, regardless of gender, I hope that you can send them to study in private schools, so that there will be nothing else."

As soon as these words came out, the crowd exploded.

Before Cheng Yanping came, they all expected it, or wanted high tuition fees, or something else.I just didn't expect such a request.

Someone in the crowd said: "Why do girls study? They will marry sooner or later, and they will be able to do the work. They don't need to read and write."

Someone agrees.

"Who says it's not? My Erya and Sanya are going to study, who will do the housework? It won't work, it won't work..."

The mayor was a little moved. He also thought that Yan Ping's request was nothing more than to be a strict teacher. If he punished the child, the parents should not feel sorry for their shortcomings. Another requirement is that the private school should be spacious and bright.

He never dreamed that Cheng Yanping would ask for girls to study too.

Once the crowd broke out, Cheng Yanping was helpless.

Before the mayor had time to speak, he saw a roar coming from behind the crowd, followed by a figure squeezed into the middle, pulling Cheng Yanping back.

"It's not that you want your money or your life. Now it's just such a request, and it's so nonsense. We won't teach this book. Who do you want to invite?"

Zhao Hou rushed over with a dark face, and the crowd was forced by his momentum, and they naturally moved out of the way.

But Cheng Yanping broke away from his hand and said softly: "Zhao Hou, what are you doing?"

"Take you home!"

Zhao Hou replied in a deep voice.

Cheng Yanping looked at the mayor as if asking for help.

The mayor was really happy and angry.The happy thing is that Zhao Hou made such a fuss, and everyone didn't dare to have other thoughts. The angry thing is that Zhao Houkong has a pair of eyes to see things but doesn't understand.

He walked to the middle of the two and stood still, stretched out his hand and patted Zhao Hou's shoulder.

"Zhao Hou, you go back first. I'll handle this matter."

Zhao Hou didn't move.

The mayor took two steps forward, and said in a voice that could only be heard by the two of them: "I swear that with me, I will never let anyone bully your family Yanping."

As soon as the voice fell, Zhao Hou automatically retreated to the back of the crowd.

The mayor's face darkened, and he said sharply: "Reading and literacy is a good thing. It can teach people to be sensible and wise. Boys can get fame and fame by studying, and their ancestors will be honored. Girls' reading also has its own benefits. They all say that they have a poetic spirit in their stomachs. Which one of the boudoir ladies in the palace is not eloquent and talented, and there are also female officials in the palace. If you are illiterate, can anyone want you? If you can read a few more words, you will not be in trouble. You have to ask someone for help, write a letter, read a letter, write an IOU or something, so you don’t have to ask for help, do you?”

The voices in the crowd were quieter.

"Let me tell you, this matter is settled like this. From now on, as long as I am a person in Longmen Town, all boys and girls who reach the age will send me to school. If any family does not let girls go to school, then the boys in the family will Don't read it either."

The mayor spoke loudly.

No one dared to refute.

The mayor glanced at Cheng Yanping, Cheng Yanping took over the topic and said: "Studying is also a matter of fate. You send the children in your family first, and I will teach them for a while. If there are some who really can't read it, you can also read it." There is no need to force it, but being able to recognize a few more characters will be beneficial in the future."

So it's settled.

The crowd dispersed.

The mayor sighed and patted Cheng Yanping on the shoulder.

"After all, I judge the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. I just didn't expect Yan Ping, although you are young, you are a person with a chest. Admiration, admiration!"

When Cheng Yanping was praised by him, he immediately blushed.

"Uncle Zhang, don't praise me. It's my first time as a teacher, so I don't know if I can do it yet."

The mayor stroked his beard and said with a smile: "You can definitely do it. I can trust your character through precepts and deeds. I believe you can give the children of Longmen Town a different future."

The two were talking, when Zhao Hou walked over with a dark face.

"Go home and eat!"

Cheng Yanping was in a hurry when he came out just now, and he only drank two mouthfuls of porridge.

The mayor waved his hand and said: "Go, if I don't let people go, I'm afraid someone will eat me alive!" After speaking, he said: "When I am free in the afternoon, I will go to your house and talk to you in detail."

It was Zhao Hou who answered him.

"Come again at Shen Shi, otherwise the door will not be opened!"

Cheng Yanping worked hard last night and had to take a nap after lunch!
