Huang Zhiqiu circled around the door, "How about the maroon one?"
Huang Jianjun's eyes lit up, "This color is good, festive and generous."
"Okay, just buy the maroon one!"
In addition to paint, Huang Kailin also asked the boss to buy a few more locks, one to lock the door and the others to lock each room.
Early the next morning, Huang Jianjun took the money and went out to the town to buy paint and locks.
Not far out of the village, I met Chen Bin who was riding a motorcycle to the town.
Chen Bin usually only goes out to do work after breakfast and lunch. Today is the market day in the town. He is going to buy some New Year's goods and other things to prepare for the New Year, so he deliberately goes out so early.
At Chen Bin's strong invitation, Huang Jianjun got on the back seat of the motorcycle.
On the way, the two chatted and chatted, and soon they arrived in the town.
Although Chen Bin said he would not accept money, Huang Jianjun still took three yuan and forced it into his hand.
Huang Jianjun walked quickly and returned home after buying paint, just in time for lunch.
When taking the paint and lock from his hand, Huang Kailin asked casually, "Why are you back so soon?"
"I met Chen Bin when I went out this morning and took a ride on the way."
Huang Kailin didn't say much. He opened the paint cover and looked at the paint inside. His face showed some satisfaction.
After dinner, Huang Jianjun helped the masons continue to build the door frames, while Huang Kailin took a paint brush to paint the two wooden doors.

On the day when the final exam ended, during the last self-study class in the afternoon, Yun Mo rarely did not study, but silently thought about the things to do after returning to Anshi.
I was lost in thought when someone tapped me on the shoulder.
She came back to her senses and found that Bai Hang, the deputy squad leader, had stood beside her at some point and was looking at her with a smile.
"What are you thinking about? I called you several times and didn't hear you."
Yun Mo replied casually, "I'm thinking about where to go on vacation."
The smile on Bai Hang's face became even bigger, but it looked like he had some evil intentions.
"Lao Zhong asked you to go to the office."
Arriving at the office, Yun Mo finally understood why Bai Hang was smiling so gloatingly.
Led by Zhong Weimin, he organized a winter vacation cram school for teachers with gold medals in various subjects in the third grade group of the school.
It is said to be a cram school, but it is actually a "small class" specially designed for top students.
In previous years, among the top 50 students in the province in the college entrance examination, the third middle school accounted for at least 10% of the places. The secret lies in this "cram school".
There are a total of 20 places in the cram school, and Yun Mo occupies one. Zhong Guomin called her over to inform her that she must come to school on time to make up classes during the winter vacation.
"Teacher Zhong, thank you for your kindness and love, but I'm sorry that I can't participate in the cram school. Please give my place to other students."
Zhong Weimin knew her situation quite well.
Not only her, but also the family situation of the top ten students in the class, he has a better grasp of.
"Yunmo, I know you plan to go back to your hometown in Anshi to visit relatives during the winter vacation. It's good for you to have this filial piety, but have you ever thought about it. Rather than spending a short time with you, your family may want to see you get into a good school.
University, Guangzong Yaozu.
You are still young, and you will have many opportunities to accompany them in the future, and even in the future, you are fully capable of bringing them to your side to enjoy happiness. Which is more important, the teacher hopes you will think about it carefully."
The words are sincere and the words are heartfelt.
As a class teacher, Zhong Weimin can be said to be dedicated and dedicated to his duties.
But Yun Moxin is a 25-year-old mature soul. She has clear goals and plans for her life. She also has enough confidence and ability to balance family, career and studies.
"Teacher Zhong, although I will not participate in cram school, I will not slack off in my studies. I can assure you that my score will be in the top ten of my grade in the mock exam that starts next semester."
Zhong Weimin looked helplessly at the female student in front of him.
Although he looks gentle and well-behaved, his temper is more stubborn than that of an ox.
"Yunmo, I know that you are very conscious and self-disciplined, and your grades have always been stable, but the teacher hopes that you can break this stability.
Since you entered No. 3 Middle School, your grades have been among the top ten in your grade. The teacher hopes that you can improve and make breakthroughs through cram school and be among the top five in your grade."
"Teacher Zhong, I'm really sorry, I can't participate in this cram school."
Seeing that Yun Mo was still stubborn when it came to this point, Zhong Weimin's face clearly showed disappointment.
"Yunmo, you don't have to rush to reply. The cram school has just started during the winter vacation. There are still a few days left. You should think about it carefully."
Yun Mo bravely said her request for leave, "Teacher Zhong, I would like to ask you for a week's leave. I plan to return to my hometown tomorrow."
Not surprisingly, Zhong Weimin's expression could be described as ugly, but his years of experience as a teacher allowed him to suppress his temper.
"Yunmo, you are in such a hurry to return to Anshi. Did something happen at home?"
"I have some personal matters that I need to go back to deal with, Teacher Zhong. I hope you can approve my request for leave."
Seeing that Yun Mo refused to explain clearly the reason, Zhong Weimin couldn't suppress his anger anymore, "Then what if I don't approve it?"
"I've already bought my ticket for tomorrow."
The implication is that if he doesn't approve, she plans to skip class directly.
Absence from class is a serious disciplinary violation. According to the school rules of No. 3 Middle School, if the student is absent from class for more than three days, the school has the right to expel the student.
Of course, this is for ordinary students. For top students like Yun Mo with excellent grades, the school will definitely deal with it as appropriate.
Perhaps because he saw that Yun Mo was determined to leave, Zhong Weimin finally agreed to Yun Mo's request for leave.
"Yun Mo, I have said everything that needs to be said. The future and future are your own. You are not responsible for yourself. I have nothing to say. You can take care of yourself."
Zhong Weimin's tone was a bit harsh, with a hint of irritation, but Yun Mo was not angry either, and bowed gratefully to express his gratitude before leaving.
After returning to the classroom, Yun Mo began to put things in her desk pocket as soon as she sat down.
Yang Huiying looked at her curiously, "We have classes next week. Are you going to clean up now?"
"I'm asking for leave. I won't be here next week."
"Ah?" Yang Huiying's eyes widened in surprise, "You, you mean you'll be on winter vacation starting tomorrow?"
"Well, you can also say that."
After saying that, Yun Mo smiled at the other party and said, "I wish you a happy winter vacation in advance. See you next year."
Yang Huiying was extremely envious, "Old Zhong actually agreed to your taking such a long leave. As expected, he can do whatever he wants with good grades. Last time my aunt was in pain and wanted to take a day off, but Old Zhong only gave me half a day."
Thinking of Zhong Weimin's ugly face when she left the office, Yun Mo's mood was not as relaxed as it seemed.
Since entering No. 3 Middle School, Zhong Weimin has taken great care of her in all aspects. This time she insists on seeing her, which obviously hurts the other person's heart. She would be lying if she said she doesn't feel guilty, but she has no regrets.
Xie Xia was not too surprised when she learned that she had asked for leave and would take the train back to Anshi tomorrow afternoon. She only said that she would go to the courtyard to see her off tomorrow morning.
