When Zheng Jia turned around, the midday sun shone on the two of them. They were surrounded by students running happily, chickens walking for food, and grass dogs strolling in the garden. The mountain breeze blew by, and the leaves rustled. Everything was so beautiful.
"Are you here?" Zheng Jiayi gently lifted her hair from her ears. The sun was too strong, so she squinted her eyes and looked at Liu Handong with a smile. There was no special surprise or any disgust.
A group of students gathered around, observing Liu Handong with great interest, chattering and whispering to the effect that this handsome boy must be Teacher Zheng's boyfriend.
"Are you thirsty?" Zheng Jiayi pointed to the faucet, "Drink some. This is the only one in the countryside. It is authentic mountain spring water. It is pollution-free and can be drank directly."
Liu Handong waved his hand: "I can't suck it out."
Zheng Jiayi was a little embarrassed and changed the topic: "How did you know I was here?"
"I and the Qingshi High-Tech delegation are here to express condolences to Hope Primary School. You don't know that this school was built with the help of Xia Qingshi, right?" Liu Handong lit a cigarette, "An Xin and the others are at the township government, I'll come over first.
Stand forward."
Zheng Jia smiled: "Let's talk in the office."
The office of Hope Primary School is simple and practical. The solid wood tables and chairs were made by carpenters using local materials. The computers were brand products donated by Qingshi Hi-Tech. Several local teachers were preparing lessons. When they saw Zheng Jia and her friends coming in, they all said hello and winked.
Go out and make room for them.
There is an air conditioner in the office, but it is not turned on. The climate in the mountains is cool and there is no need to turn on the air conditioner. Zheng Jiayi picked up the thermos bottle and poured a cup of hot water for Liu Handong and pushed it in front of him: "Drink water. I will take you with me after the children finish eating."
Have a meal."
The primary school cafeteria has very good hardware facilities. There are plenty of meals, fried meat with potato slices, fried meat with celery, cold shredded radish, seaweed soup, large steamed buns, stainless steel plates for serving rice, and steel-wood joint dining tables and chairs. The students are already in a hurry.
After finishing the meal, they crowded around the sink to wash the dishes. When Liu Handong and Zheng Jiayi walked by, everyone's eyes were fixed on them.
"Are you the only one who teaches in the school?" Liu Handong asked.
"There used to be some, but I thought the conditions were bad, so I went back." Zheng Jiayi shrugged, "The conditions in the mountains are difficult, but they are not that bad. There are telephones, the Internet, and roads, but there are no Starbucks or McDonald's, and you can get them at night
Seeing many stars makes me feel far away from the world and very close to heaven."
As Zheng Jiayi spoke, his eyes gradually became blurred. Daqingshan, with its beautiful scenery and simple people, seemed to have a edifying effect on the soul of the former financial white-collar worker.
Liu Handong said: "The conditions here are not bad, they are even better than primary schools in the city. If you really want to help students in poor areas, I suggest you change your place. You don't have to go as far as the northwest, just Pingchuan."
"Isn't Pingchuan a county-level city under the direct control of the province? It's not very far from Omi, so why has it become a poor area?" Zheng Jiayi was a little unbelievable.
"It is precisely because we are poor that we save direct management. Direct management is useless, and we should be poor." Liu Handong suddenly thought of Huanxi. The top students in the county were willing to go to the city to engage in special industries. Who can understand that kind of despair and unwillingness?
.
"Okay, I'll go to Pingchuan to have a look when I get the chance. If I really need to support teaching, I will go there next semester. Alas, I really can't bear to leave these children." Zheng Jiayi gave the food on the plate to Liu Handong, and she ate it.
Very little, the meat didn't move at all, just a few chopsticks and shredded radish eaten symbolically.
"Teacher Zheng, your express delivery." A shout came from the gate.
A small truck was parked in front of the school. There were three huge cardboard boxes in the truck. The courier was waiting for the recipient to sign with a pen and paper. Zheng Jiayi was very confused: "Is this your delivery range?"
The courier wearing SF Express work clothes said: "Originally, it is not within the scope of delivery. We will also meet the special requirements of customers. Miss Zheng, could you please sign for it?"
Zheng Jia signed and conveyed that the old man and Liu Handong helped to move down the cardboard boxes and opened them with a paper knife. The first box was full of stationery, pencil boxes, brushes, triangles, rulers, schoolbags and the like, and the second box was full of things.
Extracurricular books, the third box contained more miscellaneous items, including snacks, toiletries, clothes and shoes, and even a large pack of imported sanitary napkins.
"Is this a surprise for you?" Zheng Jiayi looked at Liu Handong with a sneer, and took out a pack of duck gizzards from the box: "The work is very meticulous. You even found out what snacks I like to eat, and this sanitary napkin.
, which is also my commonly used brand.”
Liu Handong said in his heart that he was wronged. You, Miss Zheng, have so many suitors. Why do you only doubt me? He spread his hands and said, "Don't frame me, I'm not that mean."
Zheng Jiayi asked the courier: "Who is the sender?"
The courier looked at the receipt and said, "It's a Mr. Liu."
Zheng Jia hugged her arms, looked up and down at Liu Handong and said coldly: "It's not you. I hate people inquiring into my privacy, and I don't like uninvited guests."
Liu Handong was really unable to argue, he just stamped his feet and turned around and left.
In the afternoon, An Xin and others finished their working meal at the township government and came to Hope Primary School to offer condolences and send extracurricular books, stationery and other gifts. Liu Handong also followed in the procession, with a calm demeanor, and did not look depressed after being rejected by the goddess.
An Xin discovered Zheng Jiayi among the teachers. The surprise on her face was not fake. Only then did Zheng Jiayi realize that Liu Handong's visit to her was not a premeditation, but a real coincidence.
No one in Tianjie Township knows Zheng Jiayi's true identity, otherwise the teaching staff would not have left, and the township government would not have withheld the wages of substitute teachers. Zheng Jiayi came to the remote countryside to teach, and while helping others
At the same time, she is also pursuing peace of mind. She longs to be an ordinary person. She doesn't like the stars and flattery, and she doesn't like suitors who deliberately approach and have ulterior motives.
It no longer matters who sent the three large cardboard boxes. Someone knows that he works here. Tianjie Hope Primary School is no longer a pure land.
…
The Bilian bus was driving leisurely on the winding mountain road. Liu Handong closed his eyes, and the shadow of Zheng Jiayi appeared in his mind. The white washed T-shirt, the jeans with holes, the cold and arrogant attitude, and the raised eyebrows appeared in his mind.
At the corner of my mouth, I really wanted a hungry tiger to pounce on the food and ravage this noble princess.
What's wrong with me? Am I obsessed? Do I really like her? There are many beauties around me, and most of them have a good impression of me, such as Huo Ying, Xuan Donghui, Jin Luobing, and even She Xiaoqing. As long as I am willing
, they are definitely within reach, but I just can't arouse interest in them. The only one who can arouse desire is Zheng Jiayi.
Zheng Jiayi's father is a leader of the central government. If he falls in love with her, he will have to work hard for at least fifty years. From now on, no one will dare to bully him. No one in Qingfeng Real Estate will dare to seal it. However, judging from Zheng Jiayi's attitude, he will treat it as an ordinary person.
Friends are okay, but if you really want to turn into a suitor and immediately treat each other coldly, this road seems to be impossible.
Another voice sounded, you are so stupid, you are about to get married, Ma Ling is pregnant with your child, and you still dare to eat from the bowl and look at the pot, you really think you are a heartthrob, just stop and stop.
He was at war with heaven and man, and his expression was extremely rich. She Xiaoqing, who was sitting in the front row, waved her hand in front of him and couldn't help but ask: "What are you thinking about, Liu Er? Do you dream of marrying a wife?"
"I dream of marrying you." Liu Handong said fiercely.
She Xiaoqing snorted: "Young man, what a beautiful thought." Then she lowered her voice and said, "An Jie has been acting strange recently, have you noticed?"
Liu Handong said: "You have been thinking about him all day long. Do you want to rekindle your old relationship?"
She Xiaoqing hit him: "No, this person is very insidious. I'm afraid he will take revenge on you."
"Just him? I'll give him ten." Liu Handong said contemptuously.
…
Returning to Omi's home, Liu Handong began to prepare for the wedding. He and Ma Ling first went to take wedding photos. Ma Ling suggested that the most expensive photo shoot would be to hire a photography director from Taiwan and use the best camera to go to the beach and the Gobi Desert.
Go to a place where lavender is in full bloom and take photos as much as you want.
Liu Handong was very confused when he heard this. He said that wedding photography is the most deceptive thing. If you have the spare money, you might as well buy a SLR camera yourself. He spent a few hundred yuan on Taobao to buy a Suzhou wedding dress, put it on his usual clothes, and drove around to take pictures.
Traveling by the way, killing two birds with one stone.
Because of this incident, Ma Ling was so angry that he ignored Liu Handong for several days, saying that he was a cliché and a stingy man who was reluctant to spend money on his wife.
He Jian and Shui Qin moved from Jiangbei. The new house in European Garden was still standing after being renovated. Liu Handong rented a house in Huanghua Community for them to live in. The old couple did not go to work and were responsible for buying vegetables, cooking and being their son and daughter-in-law.
logistics.
Liu Handong couldn't stand Ma Ling's cold violence, so he finally compromised and agreed to take wedding photos. The two went to a famous wedding photography shop in the city center and chose a top-notch package worth 18,880 yuan. What about Korean guide and romantic cherry blossoms?
, Swan Castle, Thames Town, one hundred sets of scenes, costumes can be changed at will, top photography masters from Taiwan, the best assistant team in Jiangdong, all-round service, guaranteeing 100% satisfaction.
At the front desk of the bridal shop, Liu Handong pinched his nose and paid the deposit, making an appointment to shoot tomorrow. However, in the evening Liu Handong received a call from Zheng Jiayi, asking if he had time tomorrow and let's sit together.
Liu Handong subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when it reached his lips, he swallowed it and coldly snorted: "I don't like uninvited guests either."
Zheng Jia smiled and said: "Why do you look like a child? Well, I wronged you. Those three big cardboard boxes were not given by you, because you are not that romantic at all."
"Okay, what time and place tomorrow?" Liu Handong agreed by mistake.
"I'll see you in the afternoon at Binjiang Park. I'll call you then." Zheng Jia hung up.
After answering the phone, Liu Handong started to lie, telling Ma Ling that there was something going on at the company tomorrow and he couldn't take wedding photos.
Ma Ling said it doesn't matter, you are busy with your business, I will call the bridal shop and make an appointment.
Liu Handong felt a little guilty, but his desire overcame this guilt. Lying on the bed at night, Ma Ling held his arm and fell into a sweet sleep, but Liu Handong's mind was filled with Zheng Jiayi.
