Farmhouse strong man

On the second day, Yuan Liuzhen stayed leisurely in the yard drinking tea, stroking her bulging belly from time to time, while Tao Fu went to help Li Niang prepare ingredients.

On the day when Li Niang and Uncle Man got married, the two got up early, put on new clothes, and tied up their hair. They brought gifts for Li Niang and Uncle Man and a bottle of red wine to Li Niang. natal family.

When I arrived at Li Niang's house, many people had already come to Li Niang's house, and they were all greeted by Uncle Man.

Yuan Liuzhen also saw Uncle Jiang, Liang Yanxin and Liang Yanxin's family members, as well as several villagers from Ligou Village that he had met but were not familiar with. Most of the rest were from Liyao Village, and they were familiar with Li Niang and Tao Fu. .

When they were walking in, Uncle Jiang saw Tao Fu and walked over with a smile.

Seeing Uncle Jiang approaching, Yuan Liuzhen felt a little grudge against Uncle Jiang, but he didn't show anything.

"Ah Fu, I haven't seen you for a long time, and now I look a lot more energetic." Uncle Jiang said with a smile.

"Fortunately, it's been a while since Uncle Jiang." Tao Fu responded with a laugh.

"Yeah, it was a long time ago when I saw you last time, I don't know how you are now?" Uncle Jiang asked, remembering that he met Tao Fu that day at Aye Po's house, he couldn't help but feel that he shouldn't ask like that.Before Ayepo passed on Tao Fuke's wife, Tao Fu couldn't live in Ligou Village. Later, Yuan Liuzhen bought Tao Fu's yard and taught children to read in the village, and Yuan Liuzhen never came to Ligou Village again. Thinking of this, he looked at Tao Fu and Yuan Liuzhen, who was around Tao Fu, were full of guilt.

Tao Fu thought that now he and Yuan Liuzhen had a yard, a shop, and a child, and said with a smile, "It's pretty good now."

Uncle Jiang was a little embarrassed when he heard it, "Everyone in the village knows about Ayepo, I hope you don't mind, everyone still hopes that you can go back to live in Ligou Village, and I am very sorry about Zhenzhen."

Uncle Jiang apologized, but Tao Fu sighed, "Uncle Jiang, I don't care about the past, and I may not go back to Ligou Village in the future. I have already bought a yard in Liyao Village with Zhenzhen."

Uncle Jiang was a little surprised when he heard this. He knew that Tao Fu had no money and owed a lot of money to see his mother. It was not easy to buy a yard in Liyao Village. He looked at Yuan Liuzhen next to Tao Fu, thinking Yuan Liuzhen may have paid for the yard, so he knew it.But also because Tao Fu said that he would not go back to Ligou Village in the future, he felt very melancholy and guilty, "I'm sorry, I let Fu suffer so much, if everyone knows..."

Tao Fu interrupted without waiting for Uncle Jiang to finish speaking: "Uncle Jiang, there is no need to apologize. I am living a good life now. What happened before has happened, so there is no need to worry too much."

Uncle Jiang felt very uncomfortable when he heard Tao Fu say this, but he still told Tao Fu about Ayepo. I went to live in Liye Town.Uncle Jiang said this because he felt that if Tao Fu returned to Ligou Village, it would be better without Ayepo, but Tao Fu still said that he might not return to Ligou Village.

Yuan Liuzhen was listening, thinking of what Ayepo had done to Tao Fu, and what happened to him that day, she was very depressed.

Uncle Man greeted the villagers of Liyao Village, saw them talking to Uncle Jiang at the door, and hurried out to welcome them in.

When Uncle Jiang saw that Uncle Man was going out to greet them, he didn't say anything more, but sat down with the others.

Uncle Man welcomed them to the table of Liang Yanxin and Liang Yanxin's family, sat down, and then hurriedly greeted the others.

Yuan Liuzhen couldn't help smiling when he saw that Uncle Man was wearing a red groom's robe today, with a smile all over his face.They bought the groom's gown together with Uncle Man. The color and texture were very good. Uncle Man was willing to spend money and bought expensive wedding gowns for him and Li Niang.

Seeing Yuan Liuzhen staring at Uncle Man's wedding robe, Tao Fu whispered to Yuan Liuzhen, "How about buying this set when we get married?"

"I think it's fine." Yuan Liuzhen smiled and said, "This groom's suit should look good on you."

The two were whispering, but Liang Yanxin's father, Liang Feng, who was sitting next to him, didn't hear what the two said specifically, only heard the word "bridegroom clothes", and asked Tao Fu with a smile, "I heard Ah Man say that Ah Fu Selling snacks in Litang Town with Master Yuan?"

"Yes." Tao Fu nodded.

Liang Feng sighed after hearing this, "You haven't returned to Ligou Village for a long time, are you going to stay in Litang Town and Liyao Village?" The distance is far, and we don't meet often, but because Liang Yanxin went to Yuan Liuzhen's place to read and play well with Xiaoman, they walked around a little more, and their relationship was closer than before. Uncle Man would call him when they got married, one is because of them The relationship is indeed close, and the second is that Xiaoman really wanted Liang Yanxin to see his father and Li Niang get married, so they came over.

Liang Feng knew about Tao Fu and Yuan Liuzhen, and he felt guilty. He didn't participate in Tao Fu's incident and there was no rumor about it, but he was very angry about Yuan Liuzhen's infidelity. Together, they told the villagers one by one.It's a pity that he knew from Uncle Man that Yuan Liuzhen had made up his mind not to teach the children in the village to read.

After Yuan Liuzhen left, many villagers felt regretful. Their children did know a lot of characters under Yuan Liuzhen's teaching. When they usually go to the town, their children know the names of some shops, and they can count, settle accounts, and return It has been praised a lot by the families of illiterate children.

After Yuan Liuzhen left, they realized how important a wife is to a child.The most important thing is that Yuan Liuzhen still doesn't need money to teach the children in the village to read. They gave Yuan Liuzhen things, but Yuan Liuzhen never took them back.After Yuan Liuzhen left, they regretted it.At the beginning, they went to Yuan Liuzhen's courtyard many times to search, but the gates of Yuan Liuzhen's courtyard were closed, and they returned without success.One month, two months passed, and Yuan Liuzhen didn't come back. When I asked Uncle Man, Uncle Man couldn't tell.

Later, Uncle Man also began to be away from Ligou Village often, and was in Ligou Village very rarely.He may not have seen Uncle Man for a long time. When he saw Uncle Man again, it was Uncle Man who invited him and a few people who had a good relationship with the village to come here for a wedding banquet. Only then did he hear that Yuan Liuzhen and Tao Fu were shopping in Liyao Village. Now they are all selling snacks in Litang Town.

"I don't go to Litang Town often, next time I go to Litang Town, I can buy some snacks from you." Liang Feng sighed.

"Yes. Then you can go directly to the shop opposite Lanyue Inn to buy." Tao Fu smiled.

"Definitely." Liang Feng looked at Yuan Liuzhen after responding, and said to Yuan Liuzhen very embarrassedly: "Master Yuan, are you really not going to teach children how to read in the future?"

"I won't teach it for the time being. I don't have time to teach children how to read right now." Yuan Liuzhen replied that besides taking the time to teach Xiaoman and Tao Fu how to read, he doesn't have much intention to teach many children how to read. One is because of what happened in Ligou Village. It made him lose motivation. The second reason is that he is pregnant now, which is inconvenient. He still has to make money with Tao Fu, and he has no time to teach children how to read.

Liang Feng was very disappointed after hearing this, so he still asked, "Is it because of Ayepo's incident?"

"No." Yuan Liuzhen replied, "I may spend more time doing business in the future."

Liang Feng was even more disappointed after hearing this. Uncle Zheng, a villager in Liyao Village who was sitting at the same table, became interested when he heard that Yuan Liuzhen used to be a teacher. "Zhenzhen used to be a teacher. Can you teach the children in the village to read?"

Yuan Liuzhen replied with a smile, "Yes, I taught in Ligou Village for a few months before."

"We don't have a wife in Liyao Village yet, and many children don't have the chance to read." Uncle Zheng sighed, then looked at Tao Fu with a smile and said, "Ah Fu and Zhenzhen are selling snacks in Litang Town, and Li Niang said that the business is doing very well. Hong Huo, I don't know if you have any plans to get married, but there is a brother who has not yet settled the marriage, if you have intentions, I will tell the family."

Tao Fu and Yuan Liuzhen were embarrassed when they heard this.

Tao Fu replied immediately, "No, no, I've already made an appointment, but I haven't told the other party's family yet."

"What?" Uncle Man exclaimed, and walked over directly, with a look of incredulity on his face: "When did Fu get married? Why didn't I know?" I feel sorry for you, I have been with Yuan Liuzhen and Tao Fu recently, and I haven't heard of anyone who Tao Fu is married to.

Yuan Liuzhen saw Uncle Man running over to inquire, and explained: "Because the marriage proposal has not been formally proposed, so I didn't tell everyone. After the marriage proposal is over, I will naturally tell you, Li Niang and everyone."

After hearing this, Uncle Man only thought who Tao Fu married with when he was living on the mountain, but he didn't know, so he didn't ask much.

After hearing this, Uncle Zheng felt very regretful, and looked at Yuan Liuzhen who was sitting next to Tao Fu, "Zhenzhen, do you intend to get married? If so, I..."

Yuan Liuzhen hastily interrupted: "I have already made a marriage agreement with someone, and I may go home soon to discuss the matter of getting married."

"Okay..." Uncle Zheng looked and looked between Tao Fu and Yuan Liuzhen, feeling very sorry.

Uncle Man, who hadn't left yet, was even more surprised when Yuan Liuzhen said that he was going to get married, "I haven't heard about Fu's getting married, how come Zhenzhen wants to get married?"

Yuan Liuzhen looked at Uncle Man with a smile and said, "They are all adults, so naturally they have to consider getting married."

After hearing this, Uncle Man didn't think too much. After getting acquainted with Yuan Liuzhen, he knew that Yuan Liuzhen was quite rich in the county, so it should have been settled early. When he thought of Liu Shiqing who had been here before, he didn't think it was strange. He didn't think of it at all. It was Yuan Liuzhen and Tao Fu who were going to get married.

After all the guests arrived, Uncle Man invited Li Niang's father, Uncle Li, to the first seat in the lobby. A young girl from the village brought out Li Niang who was covered with a hijab, and had a simple marriage ceremony with Uncle Man.

It was the first time for Yuan Liuzhen to see a villager get married in this world. The ceremony was very simple. Uncle Li said some blessings, Uncle Man and Niang Li worshiped the heaven and earth, and then offered tea to Uncle Li. The ceremony was almost over.

Then they started to eat and drink. Uncle Man sent Li Niang into the room and then invited them to drink and eat.

Yuan Liuzhen didn't drink today, and Uncle Zheng, Uncle Liang, and Uncle Man at the same table toasted. He said that it is not suitable to drink recently, so he didn't drink.Tao Fu also came over to block the wine when others were toasting Yuan Liuzhen, so Tao Fu drank a lot of wine.

When the banquet was over, Yuan Liuzhen said goodbye to Uncle Man before helping the drunk Tao Fu back to the yard.

Tao Fu, who was drunk this time, was very similar to the first time he was drunk. He kept praising him for how good he was, and Yuan Liuzhen blushed when he said it. I thought a lot about him, and said that he was very patient every time he taught him how to read, he could always come up with delicious snacks and dishes, he knew everything, and he could always tell a lot of things he never knew.

Listening to Tao Fu's rambling words, Yuan Liuzhen took Tao Fu to the room, poured hot water for Tao Fu, and asked Tao Fu to drink it. Tao Fu lay down for a while and seemed to have sobered up a lot.

Yuan Liuzhen sat beside Tao Fu for a while, and was about to leave when Tao Fu suddenly grabbed her sleeve, "Zhenzhen."

Yuan Liuzhen stopped, looked at Tao Fu's clear eyes when he looked at him seriously, and asked, "Fu, what's wrong?"

"I know that Zhenzhen really wants to be a teacher. I will talk to everyone in Liyao Village tomorrow. How about Zhenzhen teaching the children in the village how to read?" Tao Fu said.

Yuan Liuzhen was a little helpless after hearing this. For him, he really wanted to make contributions when he came here, but he was a brother, so he was destined not to make achievements. He also thought about teaching in the village and living a life of idle clouds and wild cranes in the future, but that was also possible Money, regardless of the occasional unreasonable villagers in the village, and being willing to teach for free, now he still feels that making money is more important.

"It's okay, it doesn't matter if you become a teacher or not, it's not bad to do business like this now." Yuan Liuzhen replied, "Besides, I'm pregnant now, so even if I teach, I won't be able to teach for a long time."

"Zhenzhen will not go to the town tomorrow, and I can relieve boredom by teaching the children in Liyao Village in Liyao Village before returning to the county." Tao Fu said: "Zhenzhen doesn't need to think about other things. This time I told the villagers, I will also tell everyone about Zhenzhen's concerns, and I won't let Zhenzhen meet what happened in Ligou Village, I will take care of things, is that okay?"

After Tao Fu said this, Yuan Liuzhen's heart moved. After thinking about it, he felt that he has been very busy recently. He will probably practice calligraphy and painting every day during the half month he will be staying in Liyao Village. In the town, a person is a bit boring.Teaching children in the village to read and write really makes him happy, because he likes the job of a teacher very much and wants to continue his unfinished career in the 21st century. Only when he is teaching, he will think of his life in college and his life as a volunteer teacher from time to time. And the picture of reading and literacy from childhood to adulthood, teaching while thinking about the past will have a feeling of connecting the past and the present, so teaching literacy is a kind of enjoyment for him.

Thinking of this, he said to Tao Fu: "Fu has already said so, so please tell everyone that it is okay to teach the children in the village to read in half a month, but in a few days, we will go back to the county and have to go back to the county again." I have other things to do, so I don’t have time to teach the children in the village how to read.”

"It's okay. If you're busy then, I'll give the village children a rest. I'll teach you when I have time." Tao Fu laughed.

"That's fine."

Seeing Yuan Liuzhen agreeing, Tao Fu laughed.

In the evening, Tao Fu almost sobered up, and went out, saying that he wanted to discuss with Uncle Zheng about teaching the village children to read.

Tao Fu came back very late and said to Yuan Liuzhen: "Starting tomorrow, Zhenzhen will be able to teach the children in the village to read. I have already agreed with the villagers. Tomorrow Li Niang and Uncle Man will go to the town to take care of the shop. I will stay with you at home." Together, when the village people send their children here to learn how to read, Xiaoman will come to learn how to read tomorrow."

"Okay, let's prepare some things tomorrow morning. When we are ready, we can teach the children in the village to read at any time." Yuan Liuzhen said with a smile, thinking that he would be able to teach again tomorrow, he felt quite happy. For him, making money is very happy. But teaching means a lot to him.

In the early morning of the second day, Yuan Liuzhen woke up, and after cleaning, he was busy in the hall in loose clothes. He asked Tao Fu to move all the stools in the room to the hall, and found a lot of teaching tools, as well as the I rummaged through the used lesson preparation paper and found a lot of things I used before and put them on the table in front of the stool.

In order to cover his abdomen, he deliberately took a small thin quilt to cover his abdomen.

Tao Fu told the villagers that he was asked to teach everyone to read and write. This time, his teaching method was slightly different from the previous one in Ligou Village.

He doesn't need to find some games for everyone to play in order to make everyone interested in literacy like he did in Ligou Village, and he doesn't need to find some weird physical and chemical experiments for everyone to see and improve everyone's enthusiasm. Just teach everyone how to read and write.

Because Tao Fu communicated with the family members of the children sent by Murakami, and the children were willing to read and write, and he also explained various precautions in advance.He himself will also pay attention not to teach children experiments that look interesting but have certain risks, and he will not teach children in the village how to practice swords.

Thinking of this, he felt a little regretful. It is probably his duty to teach in such a way that he cannot follow his will.

Yuan Liuzhen and Tao Fu ate breakfast and prepared everything. After waiting for a while, Uncle Man and Li Niang brought Xiaoman over, and people from the village brought the children over one after another.

Yuan Liuzhen had seen many of these villagers who brought their children here. He and Tao Fu had sold spicy noodles and crispy rice in the village before, so they were familiar with them.

When the villagers sent the child over, they also warmly greeted him and called him "Master".

Yuan Liuzhen felt that he deserved the title "Master", but he didn't say anything, it was just a title.

Liyao Village has a lot of people, and there are more than 30 children sent here, some are under ten years old, some are teenagers, and there is a brother who is about to grow up, named Zheng Jue.Zheng Jue is the elder brother of Uncle Zheng's family. He has a good appearance and a quiet and steady personality.

Yuan Liuzhen was very happy with so many students. He and Tao Fu took care of the children who came to their home to learn how to read and sat down one by one before he began to sit down and give lectures.

For the content of the lectures we met for the first time, he was already familiar with the road, and the students listened carefully.

Tao Fu had nothing to do and sat behind a group of children. Yuan Liuzhen faced more than 30 children, plus Tao Fu, and there was no pressure to give lectures.

Every time I speak for less than half an hour, that is, about 45 minutes, there will be a quarter of an hour break.There are only two classes a day.

After the two classes were over and a group of children left together, Yuan Liuzhen couldn't help sighing: The children in Liyao Village are so easy to teach.

He felt that Tao Fu should have told them in advance or had a certain understanding of the character of these children, so that these children came to learn to read. If the character is not good or more naughty, Tao Fu should not let them come.

Of course, it is also because these children are willing to study under Tao Fu's propaganda, and they are more serious in attending classes, and they respect him very much.

Xiaoman has learned a lot of words from him, and he listened very carefully to the lecture today.

Among all the children, Yuan Liuzhen paid special attention to Zheng Jue, who was the oldest. Zheng Jue listened carefully to the class, asked questions whenever he didn't understand, and could always ask the key points. He was a more thoughtful child. He was quite similar to him before. He liked this student very much. , Every time I ask a question, I will talk more.

On the first day of class, Yuan Liuzhen felt very good, and he still liked the atmosphere of class very much.

The children in the village left, Xiaoman returned to Li's mother's house, and only Yuan Liuzhen and Tao Fu were left in the yard.

Tao Fu learned from Yuan Liuzhen's gentle and knowledgeable appearance during the lecture and the inadvertent smile after the lecture that Yuan Liuzhen actually wanted to be a wife more than doing business. He felt that the choice of calling the village children to come here to learn words last night was the right choice.

When there were only two people left, Yuan Liuzhen and Tao Fu began to discuss what to cook. They had already researched a lot of new products for their daily meals before, but in the future they would open restaurants and eat more. Besides dishes, Staple foods such as Liangpi, fried noodles, sliced ​​noodles, noodles and other noodles are all foods that he wants to eat, and they are relatively easy to sell and low in cost.

Yuan Liuzhen wrote down the meals she wanted to eat on the paper, and at the same time explained to Tao Fu how to make each meal. Tao Fu wrote down one by one in his heart, thinking of making time one by one.Tao Fu didn't know why Yuan Liuzhen always felt nostalgic every time he talked about a new food, but he knew that Yuan Liuzhen wanted to eat these foods, and he would want to make them for Yuan Liuzhen as soon as possible.

One day passed quickly, and Tao Fu made breakfast and dinner for Yuan Liuzhen early in the morning of the next day, and then borrowed an ox cart to go to Litang Town, saying that he would be back in the evening.

Yuan Liuzhen had eaten breakfast by himself and painted for a while. As the students who came yesterday came one after another, he began the second day's lecture.

These children are generally warm-hearted, without thorns, they are very obedient, and the homework assigned is also done well. Xiaoman is considered to have learned a lot among a group of people, and will take the initiative to help some students when they don’t know how to help others. Tao Fu was very pleased to see the role.

Zheng will never ask Xiaoman if he can't, and he doesn't feel that he is the oldest, so there is nothing wrong with asking a child of seven or eight years old.

After the two classes were over, the students left one after another, and Yuan Liuzhen was free to draw alone, or continue to name the dishes he wanted to make.

When Tao Fu came back in the evening, the two of them studied food together, or chatted to teach Tao Fu how to read, or watched Tao Fu practice sword, which also made him feel happy.

He feels that the life he has now is very good. There are people watching the shop and waiting for the money to be collected. He can teach and have time to paint.The place is clean, the interpersonal relationship is simple, the environment is good, and the mood has improved a lot.

It's just that his good mood was broken after the fifth day of class.

On the fifth day of class, Tao Fu also went out early in the morning and said he would come back in the evening.

He was alone in the yard teaching the children in the village to read and write. It just so happened that tomorrow and the day after were the rest days for all the children and him. He was in a very relaxed mood. Like every time he went to work and took a weekend off, he assigned homework to the children and began to think about tomorrow What to do in the future.

Xiaoman and the others left one by one, but Zheng Jue did not leave.

Yuan Liuzhen looked at Zheng Jue, who was left alone, and asked suspiciously: "Is there any problem with Ah Jue? Or is there something I don't understand?"

Zheng Jue looked at Yuan Liuzhen, as if he didn't know what to say, he hesitated, "I heard something from Murakami yesterday, and I don't know if I should tell you."

Zheng Jue is about the same size as Liu Shiqing, about 1.7 meters three, and will be an adult soon, and will be less than a year younger than Yuan Liuzhen. Therefore, Yuan Liuzhen has never treated Zheng Jue as a child since the beginning of class.

Now, Zheng Jue said he had something to say, seeing Zheng Jue’s hesitation, the matter seemed to be about him, he said without thinking too much: "It's okay, tell me, what is it?"

Zheng Jue looked at Yuan Liuzhen, and said worriedly: "Having been with Master for a few days, I think Master is very nice. Father and others in Murakami also said that Brother Fu is very nice. So, although I shouldn't mention this matter, However, I think I should talk to the master. The master also said in today's class that if it is for the benefit of the companion, necessary reminders should be done."

Yuan Liuzhen frowned slightly when she heard what Zheng Jue said, "What's the matter, but it's okay to say no. Naturally, a kind reminder should be given."

"I just heard from people in the village yesterday that my father said that the people in Liye Town said that there was a relationship between Brother Fu and Master...I can't say it, but it seems that Master bought a yard and a shop for Brother Fu, saying that Brother Fu People are not good, because of the death of brother Fu and the death of his wife who has not yet entered the family, now they are bewitching the wife to buy yards and shops... Dad told Mom, what I heard, Dad still didn’t let Mom say go out."

What Zheng Jue said was cryptic, but Yuan Liuzhen had already heard the meaning of these words from these words. It meant that Tao Fu was with him as a "man", and Tao Fu even let him buy yards and shops when he was rich. , and added the matter of Tao Fu's parents and Fan Zhu'er to make a fuss, probably it was Ayepo's handwriting?

With Fu's character of not wanting to be enemies with others, but willing to suffer, who would spread such rumors?

He originally wanted to wait for him and Tao Fu to go to the county, and after the marriage was finalized, he would tell the villagers that he was a brother and invite them to a banquet. Now it seems that regarding the identity of his brother, he has to advance said.Otherwise, I don't know what it is like to be passed on by the village.

Yuan Liuzhen looked at Zheng Jue and said: "Ah Jue is right. Uncle Zheng probably won't bring it up in front of us because he cares about Fu and my face. We know about this matter and we don't know when. If you tell me, it will be right for me. It’s good, I’m very happy that you told me as soon as you knew about this matter. Fu and I will resolve this matter, just take a good rest tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and remember to complete the homework assigned in time.”

Zheng Jue was also worried that Yuan Liuzhen would get angry after he said this, or that he would be meddling in his own business, but seeing Yuan Liuzhen's calm expression now, he breathed a sigh of relief.After learning about this incident last night, he has been debating whether to tell Yuan Liuzhen when he comes today. After he got in touch with Yuan Liuzhen and Tao Fu, he knew that they were not that kind of people. , Tell them some truths that they have never thought about, let them have higher and farther aspirations for the future.During class today, he was still struggling. It was not until the end of get out of class that he mustered up the courage to mention this matter to Yuan Liuzhen.After hearing what Yuan Liuzhen said, he said "Thank you, Master" and left.
