Chapter 3 A thousand cups without getting drunk
After the embarrassment, Principal Lang began to look at his school: the school is not big, built on a slowly long hillside, with towering pine trees everywhere. The school has three rows of houses, all of which are brick and tile structures. It looks newly built. Two rows of houses are right-angled, which are classrooms. Each row has three classrooms. The center of the classroom is a loess playground. The row of houses at the back of the classroom is mostly shorter, and may be the teacher's dormitory. There are four rooms in total. Next to the school, about a hundred meters after the hillside, there is a well. Several villagers are digging water by the well. There is also a country road to the south next to the well. I don't know where to go. The back of the school, that is, the eastward direction, is the mountain covered with forests that Lang Mo saw before entering the village.
Under the influence of the strong noise from the tractor, the door of the last row of houses suddenly opened, and an old man with glasses, gray-white head, thin, and a pen in his chest pocket came out from it.
He saw Lang Mo and said, "Is it Teacher Lang Mo?" Lang Mo quickly replied, "Yes, are you Principal Li?"
"Yes, yes, don't call me a principal. I, a local bun, how can I compare to you a college student? We are looking forward to the stars and the moon. Finally, we look forward to a college student. You are here, and it's time for me to abdicate. Hey, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, it's okay, I accidentally fell off the tractor, it's okay..." Langmoyi said, and went to his shirt pocket to get the letter of introduction, but he suddenly remembered that the letter of introduction was torn off.
"Principal Li, my letter of introduction..."
"It's good that people come. What letter of introduction is needed? No need! No need!" Principal Li said with a smile, turned his head, and immediately changed his face and said to Hu Zi: "Hu Zi, are you drinking again? Isn't the lesson of the failure in the past few years enough?! Principal Ruolang has any problems? I asked the whole village to peel your skin!"
Langmo listened, and a warm feeling came from his heart.
"I didn't drink, I didn't drink, really, I didn't know whose sow ran out just now, and I couldn't hide, so I fell down Teacher Lang. Isn't this okay? I'll leave first, leave first, I have to unload bricks... "Beard hurriedly telling.
After saying that, Beard jumped onto the tractor and slipped away quickly.
"Mr. Hu had a car accident before?" Lang Mo asked tentatively.
"Opened! After running a few times, he likes to drink while driving a tractor, and he killed a human life. Now he is still dead and dares to do this. Teacher Langmo, has he drunk?"
"He drank, but he didn't drink while driving the tractor, but when he was in the village, I drank some with him... "When Lang Mo said this, he had already cursed the beard several times! I don't know how many cold sweats were falling on his back!
"The college student is just not good, and he actually asked the guy Beard to say good things. Since that's the case, let's ignore him for now. It's fine. Come and go to school to have a look..."
Principal Li’s original name is Li Jin. He is a private teacher in Fenghua Village. He has been working for forty years. He should have retired for a long time. Unfortunately, there are three teachers in this school, or private teachers. He retired. What should the children do? A few years ago, several technical secondary school students who graduated from regular medical colleges came to the school, but they ran away like a lantern. The longest three months and the shortest one, only three days, were working, and they said they were not good enough and they ran away.
Now, I finally came again and again, and I was a college student. The old principal was secretly praying in his heart: Bodhisattva bless me, Bodhisattva appears, I hope this young man can stay for a while.
The old principal enthusiastically led Lang Mo into his room.
Lang Mo's luggage was very simple, with a large suitcase and a guitar that almost broke. Perhaps it was like his gift set, and the room was also very simple, with only a shabby office desk with daily necessities such as boiling water bottles, ink, tea jars, homework books, books, etc.
There is also a coffee table next to it, and there is a fourteen-inch old TV set on the coffee table. On the side of the coffee table, there are old chairs made of rattans, plus a large wooden bed with mats and flower pillows. That's all.
After Lang Mo finished looking at the room, the fellow villager took him to look at the newly built brick and tile classrooms.
Lang Mo glanced casually. Although the classroom was not decorated, it was still yellow and mud-shaped floor. It was spacious and bright, and many of the desks and chairs inside were new. He felt that the school was better than he thought. The old principal briefly introduced the situation of the school: there were about 160 students, from the fifth grade, each with classes. After Lang Mo came, the old principal was sick and needed to rest. So Lang Mo was added to the school with three teachers. He was called Wangdu, and the young man from the village was older, named Chen Da, who was from the Graphite Village in the south. Because it would take a few days before school started. They had not come yet.
After the old principal finished introducing the news, he held Lang Mo's hand tightly and said, "Xiao Lang! Although the conditions here are a little worse, we can prepare for you, please don't be surprised. But the children need high-level teachers. It depends on you in the future! I am very optimistic about you!" After hearing this, Lang Mo didn't know what it smelled in his heart.
Holding Lang Mo's hand, the old principal asked him to rest first, and then insisted that he go to the only restaurant in the village tonight for a meal. He said that he was to welcome Lang Mo and relieve the disaster. Lang Mo had no choice but to agree.
After the old principal left, Lang Mo felt really tired. He had been riding the car all day today, especially the tractor, which made him bump so much that he almost broke up. He needed to take a good rest and look at his watch. It was already four o'clock in the afternoon. He rolled on the bed, didn't care about anything, relax and sleep first!
At 5:30 in the afternoon, as soon as Langmo woke up, the old principal came to pick up Langmo for dinner.
On the way, Lang Mo asked curiously: "Principal, this Fenghua Village is so remote, how could there be a restaurant?" The old principal smiled and said: "You don't know anything about this. Did you see the river in front of the entrance of the village when you came?"
"See it"
"This river is called Yunu River. Don't look at it. It's small. It's about two kilometers downstream from the village, but it's very wide. There is a sand mining farm and there are many sand diggers. More than half of them are outsiders. Many times, because the food is not good, they will run to us to eat. Go further south to the south. There are also several large villages. Those villagers go to the market or go to the village or to do some small business in the county. They have to pass through our village. When they are tired, they will eat here and rest. In addition, our village is also a big village with more than 2,000 people. They usually have to have a place to drink tea, so there is such a small restaurant."
"So that's it!" Lang Mo nodded frequently.
The entire building of Fenghua Village is long, facing west and end of the village facing east. The school in Fenghua Village is at the end of the village, and the restaurant is in the middle of the village. Lang Mo and the old principal walked along the village street for a while before they arrived at the entrance of the restaurant.
The restaurant is a second-floor, half-new blue brick building. Looking up, there is a wooden plaque hanging high above the wall of the gate, with the words "Xiaoyun Restaurant" written on it. When you walk inside, the restaurant is not big, but it is very clean and tidy, giving people a fresh and elegant feeling. There are ten bronze square tables on the ground paved with bluestone, and right behind the restaurant, there are brand new and modern solid wood brown counters.
Next to the counter is a wooden staircase leading to the second floor. At the top of the staircase, it is covered with a green square cloth with a lattice. It is impossible to see the situation above.
The restaurant was very quiet at the moment, and Langmo did not see anyone coming to eat.
The old principal picked up a table near the counter and shouted, "Boss, the guest is here!" On the second floor, a crisp and sweet voice came: "Who is here! Come!" As soon as the sound fell, the wooden ladder sounded thudding.
Langmo's heart skipped a beat. This response was too much like the sound that saved him in the morning. It wouldn't be that coincidental, right? Langmo's heart was beating wildly for no reason.
Without any signs, a woman wearing a light blue flower-dotted T-shirt, jeans, slim figure, and about twenty-eight years old came to Lang Mo and the old principal with a faint fragrance. Lang Mo looked up and saw that the woman in front of her was tall, but she was very round and had very good lines. She always smiled at the watery eyes. Her rosy melon-shaped face, although she had no makeup, looked plump and smooth. She was many times stronger than those deliberately dressed up in the city, and her head was casually erected behind her head. She looked even more charming.
Although the woman in the morning only looked at her, Lang Mo felt that the boss lady in front of her was very similar, and she really looked like the woman in the morning! Could it be that she really was her?
The woman smiled when she saw Li Jin, "It turns out it's Principal Li. You are a busy person and rarely come to me. Why, if you have time to come to my restaurant for tea today?" Li Jin smiled and said, "Boss, I'm happy today. Let's introduce this person, Lang Mo, the new principal of our village school."
Lang Mo got up and said to him, "Boss, I'm just here for the first time. Please take care of me in the future!" After that, he kept looking at her up and down.
The woman looked at Lang Mo and suddenly widened her eyes, and smiled and said, "Why is it you?"
"It's really you! Thank you, thank you for helping me, thank you!" Langmo quickly stood up and thanked him repeatedly.
"What's going on? Do you know each other?" The old principal was surprised.
"That's the case..."
After listening to Langmo's narration, the old principal finally knew what was going on, laughing loudly and this was fate. Then, Langmo thanked again.
The woman was embarrassed and even said no.
"By the way, how did you come back to Fenghua Village? Isn't you no longer have a car?" Langmo asked curiously.
I went out to do something today. I borrowed someone else's motorcycle, so I didn't worry about not having a car. If I had known that you were the new principal of Fenghua Village, I might have brought you back."
After listening to it, the warmth in his heart increased, and the discomfort and strangeness that came to Fenghua Village were eliminated completely.
Alan seemed to think of something, covered her mouth and smiled, "Your name is Principal Wolf?"
The old principal yi hurriedly explained: His man is the man who is bright and bright, not the man who is a big bad wolf."
Alan then realized it, so she smiled and said, "You are gentle, you scholars are gentle, and your name is strange. My name is Alan, Orchid's Orchid, you can call me Alan in the future!"
"How can I be so embarrassed..."
"There is no shame, you are the guest when you come! Don't be too restrictive. Besides, we still have a chance to meet!" Facing Alan's clear and dreamy eyes, Lang Mo suddenly felt that his heartbeat that had just calmed down began to rise again!
For some reason, Alan's eyes seemed to flash a few times when she looked at Principal Wolf. However, it just flashed by, but Principal Wolf could feel it. It was a strange lightning, and this lightning just hit him!
Principal Wolf hoped that was not his illusion, he drew a cross in his heart. However, Principal Wolf was muttering again, Alan's eyes seemed to be able to read their hearts. Just so, he was uneasy, because he couldn't figure out what the meaning of the lightning was, disdain, angry, or discharged electricity to him. After all, he should be polite when he met for the first time. After all, you should be a polite person. After all, you are also a person with higher education. How could you be so frivolous and even if you pretend, you have to pretend.
"Principal Li, what dishes do you want to eat today?" Fortunately, Alan's eyes drooped and she began to write a list. Principal Lang's heart gradually calmed down.
The old principal: "I rarely come here, so you can do it!"
Alan: "That's it, okay, I'll give you some ideas today." After that, he shouted to the room next to the restaurant, "Master Dai, the guest is here!" The room opened in response, and a middle-aged fat man with a big beard walked out of it with sleepy eyes.
When he saw Li Jin, he immediately said, "Old Principal, rare guest, rare guest! Since you are here, I have to show you well!" Li Jin quickly stood up and said politely to him, and then the fat man walked into the kitchen behind the restaurant and was busy.
After Master Dai entered, Alan hurried into the kitchen, as if to help. Lang Mo and the others drank tea while chatting. Lang Mo asked Principal Li: "It's time to eat now, and the business here doesn't seem to be very good. Why?"
The old principal: "You don't know that the city people are the harvest season. This season is the busiest time for the country people. Many elderly and children go to the fields to work, and they will not return to the village until it gets dark. Those sand mining workers and small businessmen go back to work for farm work, so there is naturally no business here. So, even Xiao Cui, the helper hired by Alan, has taken leave and went home. She has to help herself so that we can eat."
"Oh, so that's the case. No wonder I didn't see a few people when I entered the village."
It took less time for Alan to bring the dishes and said braised fish, fried bacon with green bamboo shoots, and a plate of cabbage. Plus a tomato and egg soup. Lang Mo hadn't eaten anything since the morning. He asked about the fragrance, and he could not bear it, so he wanted to move his chopsticks. Alan said at this time, "Would you like to have a pot of wine? The rice wine we brewed ourselves." When he heard the wine, Lang Mo became even more excited and asked for a pot. The pot was very big, which was larger than the teapot we had boiled water. Alan brought two big bowls and filled it up. Lang Mo smelled it and said with his thumb: "It's fragrant!" After that, he touched the old principal and then raised his head to drink it all! After drinking, he smacked his lips and said, "It's indeed a good wine!" After that, before Alan took action, he picked up the big wine pot and poured the bowl.
Seeing this, the old principal was surprised and said, "You little boy, you look gentle, but your alcohol tolerance is amazing. Don't drink too much! Although this rice wine is delicious, it has a strong momentum!" Lang Mo laughed and said, "It's okay, I can't put this little wine in me." After saying that, I thought to myself: Back then, when I was in school, it was okay to put two pounds of white wine in my stomach. What is this rice wine? After a few bowls of rice wine, the big wine pot was empty. Lang Mo's face was not changed, and his heart was not beating. After drinking several bowls of wine, his mood seemed to be much better. When the old principal saw this, he was amused and crying. Why did a drunkard principal come? Alan smiled and said nothing. After all, she saw that there were too many drunkards.
Unexpectedly, even Alan widened her eyes. Lang Mo quickly finished drinking the pot and then asked for it again. It was like drinking boiled water. He kept drinking the bowls of wine, which shocked the old principal to say: Wu Song is reincarnated! Wu Song is reincarnated! He drank two pots of wine until he couldn't let it go. In fact, Lang Mo knew very well that it would be rude to have dinner with someone for the first time. Drinking like this would definitely be rude, but for some reason, he just wanted to drink, was he depressed, or was this wine really good, or was stimulated by his beard, or he was happy to see his beloved, anyway, he was in a very chaotic mood.
At that time, on the tractor, he wanted to drink the white wine in his hand. But in that case, he still had the heart to drink?
After eating this meal for two hours, Langmo was full of wine, but what was unhappy was that his swollen teeth hurt a little while eating and drinking.
When checking the bill, the old principal was busy paying the bill, but was stopped by Lang Moyi and refused to let him pay.
At this moment, Alan said, "Don't argue with you, two! Even if this meal is mine, at least a college student came to the village, it's not easy!"
Chapter completed!
