Chapter 23:

"Ms. Tang!" Before the people arrived, the little milk sounded first.
Jiang Xiaoman is still wearing that new year doll suit today, with the bells clanging on his head, making him too happy.
Grandma said that she has to wear it like this for the New Year. When people see it, maybe she will give her more red envelopes.
Jiang Xiaoman was convinced, and practiced it personally, and later found out that what grandma said was correct. She had several red envelopes compared to other children.
This suit is still easy to use.
Of course, Jiang Xiaoman didn't come to see Teacher Tang in it to take Teacher Tang's red envelope. Grandma said that she is like a blessing doll now, so that can bring Teacher Tang good luck.
"Xiao Man." Teacher Tang smiled and stretched out her hand and hugged her, "Why did you come by yourself? Where is your uncle?"
Only then did Jiang Xing catch up, panting, bending over and panting.
Just such a little thing is not a burden for him at all, but this little girl is annoying.
When halfway down, he said that he was tired, so he should ride him and let him carry him.
Jiang Xing didn't know how to do anything. He carried her and carried the goods, so he walked halfway. The result was so good, she was almost at Teacher Tang's house, and she ran away with her kicks, so she left him halfway, without paying attention.
"Ms. Tang." Jiang Xing said, "Let's give you something."
Teacher Tang glanced at him and pointed him a chair: "Sit down first."
"You don't have to send so many things here every year. Our old couple can't finish eating, and it's wasted to leave it." Teacher Tang was helpless.
He has a son and a daughter, who are no longer in the village.
Generally speaking, only come to live for two days during the holidays. He left two days ago, and now he and his wife are left.
The son also said that he would take them to the city to enjoy the happiness and family reunion, but Teacher Tang couldn't let the children in the mountain go, so he didn't go.
"It should be." Jiang Xing was a bit cramped after putting down the things.
He was really afraid of Teacher Tang, more afraid than his mother.
Jiang Xing is most afraid of cultural people.
That mouth, I can say.
Perhaps seeing his restraint, Teacher Tang showed him a kind smile and took the initiative to calm down: "Don't be nervous, I don't eat people, let's talk."
woo woo woo woo! !
Jiang Xing is most afraid of this!
"Ok..." Jiang Xing smiled strongly.
"You have worked hard this year." Teacher Tang said, "I can see everything you do. The kid is promising, not bad."
"...Aha?" Jiang Xing was taken aback, flattered, he followed Jiang Xiaoman to touch his head, not knowing what the situation was.
Teacher Tang actually praised him?
"Your team is driving well, and the big guys have made money, so life is much better."
Jiang Xing was a little embarrassed, but also a little airy, and only repeatedly said that it should be, Teacher Tang should not praise it.
What the older generation fears most is hardship. Teacher Tang is at this age. He has seen all kinds of winds and waves, and has survived famine. Once the days are not so bitter, he will cherish it very much. For Jiang Xing's actions, he was naturally very pleased in his eyes.
"Teacher Tang, in fact, I drove this team not for everyone, but for myself, and the rest was just by the way..." Old Jiang Xing blushed, and I really couldn't bear that Teacher Tang praised him like a good person in the world, ashamed.
"I, it's actually quite a kid. You know what happened before. I didn't get hit by you less before. My mother asked you to help me. I'm really... really embarrassed." Jiang Xing scratched his head, really embarrassed.
He was really mixed when he was young, and when he was older. Being beaten by my mother at home, and being told by his mother at school to let the teacher beat him more.
It was a bitter tear to say it.
I didn't understand it before, but now that I think about it, I should be beaten.
Teacher Tang laughed loudly and said, "You can't say that. The things that happened before are nothing. People's lives are very long and many things can happen. When I was young, I was actually quite confused. "
"!!!" Jiang Xing was taken aback, stupid.
What is this amazing news? Is Teacher Tang like him before? ? ! !
Jiang Xing immediately widened his eyes, as if waiting to tell a story.
Teacher Tang didn't mind, and said slowly: "I was younger than you at the time, and I was very confused. I happened to have an educated youth going to the countryside--"
"What does it mean that an educated youth goes to the countryside?" Jiang Xiaoman suddenly asked with a milky voice.
Jiang Xing lowered her head and saw that she had already obediently moved the small chair by herself, resting her cheeks in her hands, waiting to tell a story.
"Don't talk!" Jiang Xing immediately covered her mouth with his hand, and Jiang Xiaoman nodded.
Teacher Tang continued to tell those distant stories.
It's been too long, he almost forgot.
At that time, when the educated youth went to the countryside, he was only a little younger than Jiang Xing, and he was at an age of ignorance. There is nothing to do in the village, except for work, which is to cause trouble.
Later, Teacher Tang met an old man who went to the countryside to reform.
The old man is a scholar, intellectual and gentleman.
It's just that in those days, intellectuals had a hard time, especially those who were his age. Other educated youths and fellow villagers help build houses and live in. Intellectuals like him can only live in the bullpen.
The old man had a miserable life, but he was content and optimistic. There are many books in his bullpen, all of which are offered as treasures. Teacher Tang was really too idle at that time, and he liked to talk to him when he was free.
"...He is my enlightenment teacher." Teacher Tang said: "Later, I took my heart and got a teacher's certificate and became a teacher here. There is an old saying that the prodigal son will never change his money. No matter how old or how much The age is always too late, and the best time is now."
Jiang Xing was stunned.
He did not expect that the gentle and amiable teacher Tang would have such an experience. After all, he doesn't look like a at all.
Jiang Xing's eye sockets were a little warm, and the old man was very emotional. For a while, he was silent and didn't know what to say.
But Jiang Xiaoman blinked his eyes, dragging his cheeks with his little hands and asked: "So Teacher Tang is like the teacher's teacher, did you teach my mother?"
The teacher's teacher is talking about the old man living in the cowshed.
Teacher Tang laughed and said, "No, Jiang Yue, that kid, is all her own good fortune. He is smart and clever. He has a high spirit and is willing to work hard, which is very good."
Originally, when Jiang Yue went to eavesdrop, the principal wanted to drive her away, but Teacher Tang asked her to stay.
At the beginning of this school, there was only Teacher Tang alone, and couldn't recruit other teachers at all. Later, it slowly developed. The principal also respected him and gave him face.
Opening one eye and closing one eye left Jiang Yue eavesdropping for a long time, and then dragged it to Jiang's house to pay the tuition, before Jiang Yue entered the classroom.
Jiang Xiaoman said, "Teacher Tang is really a good person."
"It's just an ordinary person." Teacher Tang sighed, took off his reading glasses and wiped it, and asked casually: "What are Jiang Xing's plans in the future?"
"Ah...I..." Jiang Xing also became more serious, and said solemnly: "I plan to go to the city to make a break. The motorcade here is still open. Someone is hired to take care of it. I don't need to take care of it.
When Jiang Xing said this, Jiang Xiaoman remembered his business and said excitedly: "Teacher Tang, I'm going to kindergarten in the city."
After that, she herself became very lost again.
"In this way, I won't see Teacher Tang, I, I don't want to go..." The little mouth slumped and wanted to cry.
I didn't think it before, but when I think about it now, she may be sad if she can't see many familiar people.
The child's mood changed for a while, and he was looking forward to it every day before, but now I can't say it.
"This is a good thing, Xiaoman." Teacher Tang said: "Many children here don't have the chance to go to school, but Xiaoman can go to better places. Your grandma, your uncle like you, this is a lot. Good thing? If you don't go, don't you let them down?"
"But I...reluctant to bear with Teacher Tang."
"Reluctant, just think about it in my heart."
"Huh? Can this be the case?"
"why not?"
Jiang Xiaoman thought about it seriously, and felt as if... as if there was nothing wrong with it. Think more, think more.
"Then I will miss you every day from now on!" Jiang Xiaoman said, clenching his fist.
Teacher Tang didn't say anything, just laughed.
After chattering for a while, Jiang Xing saw that it was not too late and picked up Jiang Xiaoman to bid farewell to Teacher Tang.
Jiang Xiaoman was so sad, she cried as she walked, but she didn't expect farewell to be such a sad thing, and she felt very reluctant.
She cried and hiccups, her teary eyes were hazy, and she was out of breath.
Jiang Xing said: "Don't cry, are you tired? Don't be unable to walk for a while."
Jiang Xiaoman said confidently: "I can't walk, don't you still carry me?"
Oh, amazing little girl.
Jiang Xing choked with anger, and ran away on his back.
The back basket he was holding was just enough to squeeze the not-so-big Jiang Xiaoman in, and told her to stay there, and then ran away.
If you don't go back, it will be dark, Jiang Xiumei will be at home and wonder why they haven't come back.
Jiang Xiaoman was so tired from crying, he leaned in his back basket and fell asleep, crying a little.
Jiang Xing hurriedly hurried all the way, and finally hurried back home before the sky was completely dark.
If you can drive, you don't have to be so tired.
There is no shortage of cars now, but the road can't drive in at all.
It would be great if the road could be built. Jiang Xing sighed.
Seeing the smoke from the kitchen from a distance, Jiang Xing quickened his pace. As soon as he entered the house, he heard Jiang Xiumei's cheerful laughter, chatting with the old sister next to her across a wall.
"What you said is really untrue? If it is true, I can die with joy." Jiang Xiumei shouted from the air.
The sound of pots and pans sounded, and the person next door replied: "It must be true! Didn't I just come back from my natal family? The truth from the village was that the father and son of Hong Xingguo were arrested It’s said that it’s a gathering of people for gambling, and you have to go in and squat for ten and a half days. The money has been fined. Tsk tsk, you have to suffer."
"Should!" Jiang Xiumei let out a nasty breath, finally feeling comfortable.
In the New Year, everyone is idle and has nothing to do. Some people just play mahjong, play cards, or play tricks.
But gathering crowds to gamble... that amount must be big. Regardless of whoever has a bet, sooner or later they will lose out if they have Jinshan Yinshan at home.
There is no money in Hongxing country. Jiang Xiumei knows where the gambling money comes from.
Originally, I was disgusted and felt that the money shouldn't be given, but now that they knew they were doing it by themselves and sent themselves in, they felt happy.
After Jiang Xing put Jiang Xiaoman down, he shouted to the kitchen: "Mom, Xiaoman and I are back, when are you going to eat?"
"Ah soon, wait a minute."
