I really don't want to be a teacher

Page 701

The old man standing in the yard smiled and said something to the old man by the door,

"...Old Qian, you are really lazy..."

Beside, several old men also laughed and cursed at the old man by the door.

The old man standing by the door didn't refute, just smiled.

Next to the old men, the little girl listened to the words of the old men, but just hugged the bag of vegetables that had not been put down, looked at the old men with a smile, squinted her eyes, and did not speak out.

……

He glanced at the scene in the yard and those old men and little girls.

Lian Ge withdrew his gaze a little more, turned his gaze a little, and looked at the tile-roofed houses and the wooden door next to the alley.

On the external windows of several tile-roofed houses, the original glass has already been broken, and the window frame has also been somewhat decayed, either covered with a fertilizer bag, or pasted with newspapers, barely blocking the broken glass on the window The hole left.

It has been opened, and there is a sign on the top of the wooden door with some holes.

Most of the original handwriting on the sign has faded away, but with the imprint left after the handwriting peeled off, I can barely recognize a few words.

This is a run-down nursing home.

After glancing at the writing on the sign, Lian Ge turned his gaze to the old man by the wooden door.

"...Grandpa Qian, I bought two corns, let's cook them tonight..."

In the inner courtyard, the little girl's crisp voice came out again. The little girl was holding the bag of vegetables, standing and smiling happily, and said to the old man by the door,

"……well."

"...Hey, Tongtong just bought your grandpa Qian something he likes?"

"...I also bought string beans, cabbage, and potatoes..."

"...Tongtong is so nice, remember what we like to eat?"

The old man by the door responded with a smile again, and there were more laughter and voices in the yard.

The old man by the door turned around, hunched over, lowered his head, and pulled through the wooden door, about to close the wooden door again.

"Old man,"

Looking at the old man, Lian Ge cried out.

Hearing the sound, the old man by the door couldn't help but pause to close the door.

Followed closely, but didn't seem to hear it, didn't raise his head, didn't turn his eyes away,

He just hunched over, lowered his head, and then stretched out his hand to pull on the wooden door.

"Old man, passing by Guidi, I'm a little thirsty, I wonder if I can borrow Guidi to rest for a while."

Lian Ge looked at the old man and said something aloud.

This time, the old man paused again,

After another pause, he slowly raised his head and saw Lian Ge standing by the side of the alley,

"Boy, you..."

With his hands still resting on the wooden door, the old man bent his back a little, raised his head a little,

Seeing that Lian Ge's eyes fell on him, the old man first turned his somewhat muddy eyes to look at Lian Ge, opened his mouth, wanted to say something, but stopped talking.

Some fell silent again, just looking at Lian Ge.

Looking at the somewhat silent old man, Lian Ge did not urge him, but just waited quietly.

"...Old Qian, what's the matter, you're still dawdling after closing the door."

"...Old Qian, what are you talking about there..."

Behind the old man, in the inner courtyard, the shouts of those old men sounded again.

"...there is a guest."

The old man stamped his feet, turned around again, and shouted to the inner courtyard.

Immediately afterwards, in the inner courtyard, the old men stopped talking, and suddenly became quiet.

"...a young man passing by wanted to rest here with us."

The old man shouted to the inner courtyard again.

In the inner courtyard, none of the old men responded.

"...Why don't you let that big brother in..."

At this time, in the inner courtyard, the little girl's crisp voice sounded again,

"...We have a lot of chairs here, we can let that big brother sit..."

The little girl spoke again.

In the inner courtyard, be quiet again,

"...Okay, then listen to Tongtong."

One of the old people smiled again, and said something to the little girl,

"...Old Qian, let that young man come in."

Turning around again, the old man yelled at the old man by the door.

The old man by the door paused, then slowly turned around,

"Young man, come in."

Stretching out his hand, the old man opened the wooden door again, turned sideways, and said to Lian Ge.

"Then thank you, old man."

Listening to the voices in the inner courtyard, looking at the old man, Lian Ge smiled and thanked him again.

He moved his feet and walked into the inner courtyard.

The old man standing by the door shook his head again, but did not respond.

Walking through the passage behind the door, Lian Ge walked into the inner courtyard, and then turned his gaze,

Glancing at the old men and the little girl in the yard,

A few old men stood by, either looking at Lian Ge, or turning their heads from time to time, exchanging glances, but no one spoke.

The little girl who was still holding the bag of vegetables also raised her head, looking at Lian Ge curiously,

Behind him, the old man by the door closed the wooden door again and walked to the inner courtyard.

"...Grandpa Qian, why don't you greet your guests? Shouldn't you let them sit down when they come?"

The little girl turned her head, looked at the people beside her, and looked at the old man Lian Ge who was a little silent,

"...Brother, sit down, I'll pour you some water..."

Turning around again, the little girl held the bag of vegetables with one hand, pulled a chair from the side with the other hand, and said to Lian Ge again.

Chapter 970 Cohabitation

"...I'm sorry, big brother. Big brother, sit down."

The little girl hugged the bag of vegetables, and said to Lian Ge loudly,

"Tongtong is right, thank you."

Lian Ge smiled, lowered his body, and responded to the little girl.

"……you are welcome."

The little girl shook her head and said aloud,

"...Big Brother, I'll get you a glass of water..."

Saying that, the little girl was about to walk to the side again,

"...Tongtong, let me come."

Beside, a few old men who were silent looked at Lian Ge again, and one of the old men stopped the girl with a smile, then turned around and looked at Lian Ge.

"...I'm sorry, young man. I haven't had any guests for a long time. I'm a little neglected. Young man, please sit down and have a rest."

After saying hello to Lian Ge, the old man turned around again, looked at the little girl,

"Tongtong, go to the kitchen with your grandpa Qian first, and help grandpa Qian make dinner."

"...Well! Grandpa Qian, let me cook dinner. I have already learned how to cook. After a while, Grandpa Qian, you can watch from the side, just like before, just teach me from the side, and I can do it. "

The little girl nodded her head heavily, responded, then turned her head, and said to the old man at the side.

"...Okay, then I'll take out some vegetables later, and let your grandpa Yang and Grandpa Chen help pick and wash them, and Tongtong can just cook."

"...No need, I'll just wash it, I can wash it well..."

The old man and the little girl walked towards the tile-roofed house next to the yard, talking while walking.

Several old men in the yard stood without speaking while watching the old man and the little girl walking towards the kitchen.

Glancing at the old men by the yard, then at the little girl and the old man walking towards the kitchen, Lian Ge didn't say anything more.

……

"...Young man, sit down."

Watching the little girl and the old man walk into the kitchen,

There are more rustling noises in the kitchen,

In the yard, several old men turned their eyes one after another,

"...boy, drink a glass of water."

Someone called out to Lian Ge, someone moved a little staggeringly, struggled to lift the kettle next to him, poured a glass of water and handed it to Lian Ge, and someone sat down on the previous seat again, turning the somewhat muddy He looked at Lian Ge.

"Thank you, old man."

Sitting down on the chair next to him, Lian Ge thanked him, reached out to take the glass of water, looked at the old people standing or sitting around him, and said nothing more.

The old man who brought the tea withdrew his hand, bowed his waist, and stepped back to the side, standing, looking at Lian Ge,

Next to him, the old men who had sat down again had their cloudy gazes on Lian Ge, and they didn't speak any more, and remained silent.

In the yard, it was quiet again, only the rustling of the branches and leaves of the tree in the inner yard disturbed by the breeze and the rustling of the little girl busy in the kitchen next to it.

Glancing at the few old men who fell silent, Lian Ge didn't say anything more,

Holding the cup of tea, he turned his gaze a little further, and glanced at the yard,

In the yard, apart from the tables and chairs placed under the shade of the trees, there are also some trivial things in the corners, such as brooms and dustpans,

Next to the kitchen, there is also a faucet, and under the faucet is a two-story brick pool.

It's just that the faucet seems to have not been used for a long time, and it is still rusty. There is still a basin for washing vegetables in the pool, and there is still some water for washing vegetables in the basin, with half a vegetable leaf.

The four sides of the yard are similar to tile-roofed houses. About two houses occupy one side, and each room has a door facing the yard.

The paint color has also faded, and most of the doors that look mottled are closed tightly, only the door in the kitchen is open at the moment.

The tile-roofed houses on all sides extend some eaves towards the inner courtyard, and on the side of the courtyard, some eaves connected on all sides are covered.

"...Young man, where did you come from?"

After a while of silence, an old man sitting on a bamboo chair hunched over again, raised his head to look at Lian Ge, sized him up, and then asked aloud,

The old men who were standing or sitting next to him also looked at Lian Ge and sized them up.

"It's a little far away. Go out and have a look, and pass by here."

Lian Ge turned his gaze away, looked at these old men, and responded aloud,

"Old man, is this a nursing home?"

With a calm tone, Lian Ge looked at these people and asked again.

"...It used to be, but it doesn't count now. It's just that we old people have nowhere else to go, so here we are."
