Chapter 020: The Teacher
There is not much work in the field this time, and the villagers mostly carry farm tools to flip through the floor.
Taking advantage of a rainy day, Jiang Yu made a pot of corn buns at home, and half of them hit, and said to Jiang Yan, taking his brother out.
Jiang Chuan held a basket on his arm and followed his second sister, "Second sister, you have changed your sex life. You didn't like to learn before."
"You also said that was the past. Now our family's conditions are in place, so I must study hard and let my elder sister worry less."
"You'll be sensible sooner."
"Why is it done?" Jiang Yu was almost angry with his younger brother and smiled. He raised his hand and snored on his forehead. "When my second sister learns well, I can teach you when she gets home."
"Then you have to wait for you to know more than me." Jiang Chuan felt in his heart that he was much better than his elder sister. If the school in the village had not spent money, the elder sister would definitely not even be able to pass the second grade exam, and she would have to repeat the grade every year.
It was raining today, and the mountains in the distance were shrouded in hazy rain and fog, which was very green and green.
The houses of several elderly people are not far from the hill.
When the siblings came over, the yard was very quiet and they could not hear anyone talking. Occasionally, they could hear a few coughs.
After knocking on the door knocker, they pushed the door open and went in. The house looked very dilapidated, but it looked very regular. There were no weeds in the yard. You could see some vegetables planted in the corner of the wall. They grew well, but the quantity was limited. As for chickens, ducks and other things, they could not see them at all.
They came to work hard for labor. If they lived the same life as the villagers, wouldn’t they come to enjoy the happiness?
Even so, it was the result of the commune turning a blind eye. Going to another place to see that the conditions of these elderly people are already pretty good.
Although I didn’t have enough food in the past few years, at least I wouldn’t be hungry and would make you unable to eat.
Two old men sat under the eaves. When they saw the brother and brother coming in, they were stunned for a moment before greeting them with a smile.
When Jiang Han was alive, he took good care of the five of them, so they naturally knew the three children of the Jiang family.
"Why are you two here?" It can be called a rare guest. Jiang Chuan could follow Jiang Han and walk around in the past. This is the first time Jiang Yu has come.
These five old men were rehabilitated and then taken away by them in the autumn of 1976.
After they left, two of them went back to take important positions, while the other three went back to retire directly.
After the heroine Su Yinyin came, she wasted some thoughts, but the five old men got along well, and later they became the heroine's backers. Although the heroine did not disturb these five people after leaving the Hexi Commune, she also devoted herself to maintaining the friendship between teachers and students.
She had no intention of doing it. As for what the heroine did after she came, it had nothing to do with her. She was just maintaining her pace.
"The corn buns made by my second sister are delicious. Come and try them for a few grandpas." Jiang Chuan went forward, lifted the blue printed bag on the bamboo basket, took out two corn buns from it and put them in the hands of the two old men. "It's still hot, the two grandpas eat while it's hot."
One of the old men in gray clothes held a warm corn bag and looked at the siblings with a smile, "Why do you think of seeing us old guys?"
"I've come too." Jiang Chuan stood in front of the window and looked inside, and found that the other three old men were sleeping on the kang, and did not enter the room to disturb him. "Grandpa Guo and the other three were sleeping?"
"It rains lightly today, so there is no need to work. The old guys are old, so I will sleep more while taking advantage of this kind of day." Another old man with two big patches on his knees said calmly.
The two old men in front of them looked very thin and tired, but their eyes were not as gray as before, but they were very energetic, as if there was a blazing fire of hope burning inside.
Jiang Yu looked at the two of them and smiled obediently: "Two old men, can I trouble you one thing?"
The old man with a patch on his knee was Cheng. He was a professor of physics at the Department of Jingcheng University before coming to Hexi Commune. After returning to Jingcheng later, he served as the president of Jingcheng University. Although he only lasted for three years, he was also an important figure in the education industry. At the same time, the heroine Su Yinyin also took advantage of this to gain a foothold in Jingcheng and got together with Gu Xiao.
"What's the matter?" Mr. Cheng and his friends passed away not long after they arrived here. Although they were not familiar with Mr. Jiang, they all knew the name of Mr. Jiang, especially after the country was stable. Mr. Jiang took his whole family to return to Hexi Commune. In the eyes of them, they were indifferent to fame and fortune and did not admire wealth. In addition, Jiang Han took care of them when he was alive, so he was willing to talk to the three children of the Jiang family.
Seeing the other party's attitude, Jiang Yu felt much more relaxed.
After talking about his purpose, the two old men didn't think this was too troublesome. After all, they were all senior intellectuals in various fields. It was still very easy to teach a little girl and couldn't get much tired.
The old man next to Mr. Cheng's surname is Fang. Two years later, he returned to the Imperial Capital and entered the Academy of Sciences. He studied Imperial Engineering many years ago. "The school in the village really can't learn anything."
"Your father came to us and told us that he wanted to run a school in the village. At the beginning, there was no problem in encouraging the children, but the people here seemed to think that studying was useless."
Mr. Cheng sighed softly, "It's ruined."
Jiang Yu listened to the two old men's feelings, and felt sour for them, but the bitter days were coming soon. Although the time spent could not be compensated, this was also force majeure.
The siblings and brothers talked with the two old men for a while, and they saw that it was almost noon before they said goodbye.
Mr. Cheng means that when he is not working, he can give her a lecture all day, and when he is working, he can give her noon and evening.
When he got home, Jiang Yan asked about the result of his trip. Jiang Yan was also very happy to learn that the five old men did not refuse.
That night, the rain started to get a little heavier and it didn't stop until dawn.
Jiang Yu made breakfast, and took advantage of the breakfast to simmer a few sweet potatoes in the stove, and prepared to bring them with him when he went to the hut later to eat for the five old men.
Because my sister had a request for five old men, Jiang Yan also steamed a pot of white mask with the only remaining flour at home. The new wheat was not free to grind the powder. After all, there were queues there, and the family was not in a hurry anyway, so it would be fine to go late.
Jiang Yu put the white mask in a bamboo basket, put the roasted sweet potatoes on it, then carried the basket and carried the book in one hand to prepare to go there.
Seeing this, Jiang Yan simply locked the door and sent her over. A little girl was carrying so many things, and she couldn't feel at ease.
The rain is a little heavy today, and there are almost no people in the village. Therefore, when the two sisters came to the hut, no one saw it, so there is no need to worry about others talking behind their backs. After all, over the years, the people in the village have tried their best to stay away from the elderly in the hut, for fear of being infected and being labeled as hats.
After sending his sister there, Jiang Yan greeted several old men and turned around and went home.
While she didn't work these two days, she had to make up her torn clothes at home.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, what do you bring with you relatives? My old lady always asks me to bring some dairy products, but dairy products are the norm these days, and I want to change the type.
