At 7 o'clock in the morning, the wake-up bell rang.
The crisp bell not only woke up the boarding children, but also interrupted Yao Xiaojing's deep sleep. She opened her hazy eyes in her pajamas, moved her still semi-awake body, and a hissed exclamation unexpectedly flew out of her mouth.
..
It's not because Chen Mufeng disappeared early in the morning. It's because her body...
Touching the sore and painful leg, she couldn't help but grinned at the air and laughed a few times... It turned out that she, Yao Xiaojing, could also have such a miserable day, unable to get out of bed because she was "bullied" by her overly strong husband.
..
After sitting on the bed for a while holding the quilt, she jumped out of bed, gritted her teeth, quickly put on her clothes and washed up. She thought there would be no hot water in the thermos, but when she weighed it, she found that it was full of...
Waves of warmth filled her heart, the reflection of her face in the water, and the bright smile on her face made her look more agile and energetic..
She changed into light sportswear and wanted to find Chen Mufeng and go to the countryside with him to buy things for tomorrow's wedding. Although he said that the round trip would only take more than an hour, she was not willing to be separated for a minute now.
There was no sign of him on the playground. There were only a group of children squatting in rows under the eaves, washing their faces and brushing their teeth. When they saw the fairy aunt they had discussed for half a night walking towards them, they were all very excited. Some of them directly put out their mouthwash.
Swallowed it...
"Aunt Fairy..."
Yao Xiaojing really didn't dare to take the noble title of fairy, but calling her a little goblin might hurt the children's hearts. After thinking about it, she decided: "Call me Aunt Xiaojing...children!"
"
"Aunt Xiaojing...what are you doing up so early? You don't have to go to class..."
"Yes...Auntie, are you hungry?"
"Aunt Xiaojing... Today's breakfast has rice noodles! Don't you like it too..." A group of children wearing thin and shabby clothes, still wearing open-toed sandals in the cold weather, opened their eyes with clear eyes
He asked her curiously with bottomless eyes...
Looking at them... Yao Xiaojing suddenly didn't know how to answer...
With a lump in her throat, she hugged a little girl next to her who hadn't yet combed her hair and said, "Auntie, come help you... can you bring me the comb?"
"Do you want to braid our hair?" For the girls who board here, combing their hair is a big problem. Sometimes they are pressed for time, so they pick it up and go to class. They also like Aunt Xiaojing's high ponytail.
, so beautiful and spirited, walking around, flicking the ends of her braids, full of movement and vitality...
Yao Xiaojing counted and found that she had combed the same high braid for 17 long-haired girls. They did not leave after combing, but leaned against her side with a smile and watched her combing the hair of the next lucky person.
After the girls all became miniature versions of Yao Xiaojing, she suddenly had the idea to have the girls with high pigtails stand in a row with her, and the boys who knew how to take photos took a group photo for them.
This time the nest is blown up...
Not only the girl with short hair was unwilling, but the shy and introverted boy was also unhappy...
As a result, adults and children came together to take pictures of this and that. It wasn't until Teacher Zhang, who was over sixty years old, called them, that a group of children took Yao Xiaojing to the cafeteria to eat.
The cafeteria is the only auditorium in the primary school and even in the whole village. During festivals, the auditorium is the stage for the children. In normal times, it is the school cafeteria.
There are several dilapidated tables placed in the small space. There are no benches, and the children including the teachers who have bought rice can only eat on the table with their waists bent at 90 degrees.
Breakfast is noodles and rice noodles. A portion of noodles is 1 yuan, and rice noodles are slightly more expensive at 1.5 yuan per portion. Yao Xiaojing saw a senior child who was nearly 170cm tall bought a portion of rice noodles for 1.5 yuan, and then spent 50 cents on it.
A bag of instant noodles, he first ate part of the rice noodles, and then soaked the instant noodles into the rice noodles. He ate it happily.
"Aunt Xiaojing...here...this is the bowl Teacher Zhang asked me to get for you. The teacher said you can serve it as you like and eat as much as you want..." The little girl looked envious and looked at the food around her.
The cheerful classmates smacked their lips...
Yao Xiaojing squatted down and held the girl's thin shoulders: "Then Auntie will fill a big bowl. Can you eat until you are full?"
The girl was a little stunned. After she realized what she was doing, she waved her hands desperately: "My father gave me money... 50 yuan a month, which is enough for me to eat." The standard of less than 2.5 a day is a growing child.
,can it?
"50 yuan...is it enough to eat?" 50 yuan can't buy a whole family bucket of KFC in a big city...but here, it is enough for an ordinary child to live for a month...
"It's enough...the food in our cafeteria is delicious, and the portions are huge..." She smiled, revealing the gaping teeth she had deliberately blocked just now...
"Cao Lijuan...you are lying...I saw you drink all the noodle soup several times..." The boy next to him who was sucking the rice noodles exposed his classmate's lie...
Cao Lijuan blushed and glared at him: "That's enough! That's enough... That's enough..."
The boy made a face and concentrated on eating.
Yao Xiaojing felt very uncomfortable, as if there was a lead block in her chest, and she couldn't even breathe smoothly... The children have been living in this environment year after year...
She put her bowl into the dining room window, smiled and said to the cook whom she had chatted with yesterday: "Please, master, give me three yuan of rice noodles..."
The cook was a villager from the same village, and he had a good relationship with Chen Mufeng. When he saw it was Yao Xiaojing, he couldn't help but smile and serve her a large bowl. When he served it to her, he added a bowl of steaming food.
: "Feng Wazi is chopping firewood in the back and asked me to make you eggs in sugar water. You can drink them together..."
Eggs in sugar water?
When the child Cao Lijuan next to her saw what was in the large ceramic bowl in her hand, her eyes could not help but shine, and she stuck out her tongue and licked her mouth.
"Here... how about we eat half of it each and eat the rice noodles and sugar water together?"
"I have money...Aunt Xiaojing..." She took out the 1.5 cents that were wet with sweat in her hands, and looked up at the fairy aunt whose eyes were slowly turning red...
