I really don't want to be a teacher

"...my baby is so nice..."

It's already evening,

After the rain, the afterglow of the west was gradually submerged by the night.

Along the street lamps on both sides of the street, the lights in the houses of the tall buildings in the distance have been turned on one after another.

Dispelled the night under the lamp.

You can still see some food vendors with stalls on the street. With the help of street lights, I also hang some lights and support the stalls.

On the street, the street that had been soaked by the rain before was still a little wet, with a glint of water, reflecting the lights of the shops facing the street,

But people come and go again,

Or people who went out for a walk while the weather was cooler after the rain, or those who just finished their busy work and walked home, or some people who talked in twos and threes and walked past the street.

Or to avoid some rainwater accumulated in the street area, squeeze and walk under the eaves of the shops facing the street,

Or stop by some street stalls.

The food vendors who set up their stalls greeted the customers, and the guests who sat down greeted the busy stall owners.

Listening to some sounds along the way, mixed with voices,

Lian Ge walked along the street that was getting dark and the lights were on, looking into the distance.

"... buzz, buzz..."

The phone in my pocket vibrated again.

Lian Ge reached out and took out the phone,

Look at the caller ID.

It was Gu Xiaoying calling.

"... Lian Ge, it's so late, have you had dinner yet?"

As soon as the phone was connected, on the other end of the phone,

Gu Xiaoying's words sounded immediately,

Listening, Lian Ge turned his eyes a little and looked at the side of the street.

Not far from the street, there is a food stall.

Turning around and moving his feet, Lian Ge walked towards the snack stall.

Chapter 1024 Story

"Zi..."

Sitting at a street food stall, next to an open folding table,

Lian Ge had already ordered some snacks from the stall, and briefly told Gu Xiaoying on the other end of the phone about the previous family.

There was some excitement at the booth.

There are some customers sitting around some folding tables,

Next to the stall, there is an oven, and the charcoal fire in the oven is burning, roasting a bunch of barbecues on the oven,

The barbecue dripped some oil stains from time to time, the charcoal fire rang out, and some oily smoke splashed,

Next to the oven, there is a simple stove with a stove,

There are some miscellaneous dishes on the stove, and the stall owner is holding an iron pot on the stove, and is stirring the vegetables with a long-handled iron spoon.

From time to time, I take a towel around my neck and wipe the sweat off my forehead.

Then turn around and turn over the skewers that are being grilled on the oven, and then respond to the shouts of customers at the booth,

The customers at the booth were either already eating, or a few middle-aged men were holding cold beer, talking nonsense and drinking.

"...Boss, is Tim's barbecue ready..."

"...I'll be fine soon..."

"... Boss, let's drink beer again, I want ice..."

"...the beer is in the freezer next to it, please get it yourself..."

"... Zi..."

The sound of vegetables being stir-fried was mixed with some shouts and voices from the stalls.

Under the high-hanging incandescent lamp, a few flying insects were still circling after the rain.

On the wet street, the accumulated water reflects the critical lights,

The hustle and bustle of pedestrians came and went, taking longer steps from time to time to avoid the glow of water on the ground.

……

"...Lian Ge, why did that woman..."

On the other end of the phone, Gu Xiaoying was also having dinner at the dining table, while Gu's mother was sitting beside her.

Listening to Lian Ge briefly talking about the previous family, Gu Xiaoying paused, and couldn't help asking something.

On the other hand, Mother Gu, who was also listening, shook her head and remained silent.

"...Didn't Xiaoge say that before?"

After a moment of silence, Mother Gu said again,

"...I owe too much, I still can't pay."

After a pause, Mother Gu didn't say any more, but shook her head again.

over the phone,

Listening to the voices on the other end of the phone, Lian Ge turned his eyes and looked at the booth.

"Sheng Mi En fights Mi Qiu."

After a pause, Lian Ge spoke again.

On the other end of the phone, Gu Xiaoying listened, a little silent,

"Is it because of this?"

Raising her head again, Gu Xiaoying asked again.

Listen, Lian Ge didn't answer directly,

I just turned my gaze a little more, looking at the stall, along the roadside, and into the distance.

The booth is still bustling,

Those who drink drink wine, those who eat barbecue eat barbecue,

From time to time, people passed by under the street lights, walking towards the tall buildings dotted with lights from other people's houses in the distance.

……

"...Young man, what you want is barbecue, and there is also fried potato shreds."

The stall owner brought the roasted barbecue and fried shredded potatoes, and put them in front of Lian Ge's table.

He greeted him loudly, stood beside him, wiped his sweat with a towel, and walked away in response to the greeting from the booth.

"... Boss, add more dishes..."

"……I'm coming……"

Watching the boss walk away, looking at the greedy little white mouse on his shoulder,

Lian Ge took a skewer of barbecue and handed it to the little white mouse. The little white mouse held it, stuffed it into his mouth quickly, and started eating.

Lian Ge turned his gaze a little further, looking at the distance under the light.

"There was a girl, when she was about ten years old, her mother was seriously ill, and she couldn't leave her bed ever since."

Looking into the distance, Lian Ge spoke again.

Hearing Lian Ge's words, the little white mouse, which was holding the skewers on its shoulder, slowed down a little.

On the other end of the phone, Gu Xiaoying didn't speak any more, just quietly listening to Lian Ge's narration,

Mother Gu paused while holding the chopsticks, but didn't say much.

There was a little silence on the other end of the phone.

"The family doesn't have much money, so they can't go to a big hospital for treatment, so they can only stay paralyzed in their own bed, but the disease they get will not die for a while, so they can only suffer like that."

"The girl also has a father. After her mother fell ill, her family relied on her father to support her family. People in the neighborhood all praised her father, saying that her father had a conscience, and his wife was like that, and she hadn't abandoned her yet."

"The girl also feels that her father has worked hard. Her father made a good meal, and she brought it to her mother. On weekdays, when her father is away, she is the one who takes care of her mother and talks to her mother."

"It should be one night when she was 11 years old."

Lian Ge looked at the lights in the distance, and spoke briefly,

"Maybe because it was summer, she couldn't sleep that night, or maybe it was because of other reasons. She ran to the room where her mother slept, and wanted to chat with her mother."

"Maybe she talked to her mother for a while, or maybe it was just a few words. There were some footsteps outside the door, getting closer."

"Her mother told her to hide and cover her ears tightly."

"She doesn't know why, but she probably did what her mother told her to do, maybe hiding it in a cupboard, maybe hiding it under the bed."

"She probably didn't listen to her mother, maybe she saw it, maybe she heard it. She knew it was her father who walked into the house."

"Her father and her mother talked for a while, and then, she watched and listened, her father opened the door and walked out of the house with her mother on his back."

"The next day, her family invited a Taoist priest to do funeral affairs, and news spread that her mother died of a serious illness."

"After the girl grew up, she lived a fairly happy life. She married a good family and her husband's family treated her well, but she still lived a little cautiously."

"And then, Youtian. Her leg was broken in an accident."

After telling the story, Lian Ge paused for a while, turned his gaze from a distance, and didn't say anything more.

On the other end of the phone, Gu Xiaoying and Gu's mother were a little silent,

He didn't even ask if the girl was the same woman as before.

"...In the hospital, you can often hear news that some old people who have broken their legs, are difficult to heal, have to sit in wheelchairs, or are simply paralyzed from the lower body, have committed suicide."

Mother Gu held the chopsticks, paused for a while, then raised her head, and said aloud,

"One is because I am afraid that I will become a burden. The other is that I am afraid that others will think that I am a burden."

She said something aloud, but Mother Gu didn't continue.

Beside, Gu Xiaoying was also a little silent,

On the other end of the phone, it became a little quieter.

Lian Ge listened to the voices on the other end of the phone and the sounds around his ears,

I didn't say anything more, just looked at the stall and the street next to the stall.

On the street, there were still people coming and going, and the stalls were still bustling.

The stall owner was busy greeting the guests, eating some barbecue, and the customers of the dishes were also talking to each other.

"Squeak, squeak..."

On the shoulders, after listening to Lian Ge's narration, and then burying his head in front of the little white mice fighting on the skewers, they finished eating the skewers they were holding.

Turning his head again, he looked at Lian Ge, then at the barbecue on the table, and called twice.

"...Lian Ge, aren't you hungry? If you don't eat, your barbecue will be eaten up by the mice."

On the other end of the phone, Gu Xiaoying didn't continue what she said before, but listened to the call of the little white mouse on the phone, and then spoke to Lian Ge.

Hearing the sound, Lian Ge turned his gaze a little, looked at the greedy little white mouse on his shoulder, and couldn't help smiling,

"...Squeak, squeak!"

Seemingly hearing Gu Xiaoying's words on the other end of the phone, the little white mouse barked twice more.
