Chapter 56 After the rainstorm
The morning after the heavy rain, the school courtyard was filled with water. Lin Ping and Ma Zhongguo began to sweep the water out early. Last night, they almost didn't meet their eyes all night.
The deepest part of the water overflowed the two of them.
"I think we shouldn't sweep the water out," Lin Ping began to speak again, "Let's just dig again, dig deeper, transform this place into a pond, plant some lotus flowers and raise some goldfish..."
As he said that, Lin Ping hummed softly: "I am like a fish in your lotus pond, just to wait for the bright white moonlight with you..."
"You still raise goldfish? Go and raise silverfish quickly." Ma Zhongguo joked, bent over and kept driving out the water with his broom. "Sweep quickly, sweep these two sides, sweep a lane, and the children will come to class later."
"You will teach the children later. I will contact someone from a nearby village to repair our houses." Ma Zhongguo said again.
"Okay." Lin Ping nodded and agreed.
After a while, the children came to school one after another. Because the mountain roads were muddy after the heavy rain, and some places were even covered with mud and stones washed down by rain, the mountain roads became particularly difficult to walk. The children came here much later today than usual.
Because the mountain roads are muddy, along the way, the children's bodies, especially their lower bodies, seemed to be rolling in the mud. After they arrived at school, everyone looked at each other and couldn't help laughing. Of course, Lin Ping himself was not much better, and he made himself dirty while sweeping the water.
Ma Zhongguo quickly went back to the house and took out a towel and hot water to scrub the children.
Lin Ping looked at the students in front of him and admired the group of children very much. The farthest one was to walk more than ten miles of mountain road to school, and the one that was closest would take three or four miles. Lin Ping thought that there would be several children not coming to school today. But after a closer look, except for Wang Yige and Liu Xiangqian, everyone else had already arrived.
After a while, Liu Xiangqian also came.
As soon as they saw Liu Xiangqian, everyone bent over with a smile.
"Liu Xiangqian, have you ever been like your sow rolling in the mud pit?" Feng Xiaoxiao's tears were almost coming out.
"I think Xiangqian... should... not intentionally, it's probably gone into the pit." Liu Weiguo also laughed so hard that he couldn't breathe.
"Oh, don't mention it." Liu Xiangqian said depressedly, "I didn't have eyes when I walked, my feet slipped, and I fell into the mud pit all of a sudden. I was really unlucky."
"How about you go home and change your clothes." Lin Ping said.
"It's okay," Liu Xiangqian said, taking off his shirt, "At worst, I can go to class with bare shirt."
"That won't work!" Lin Ping said seriously, "You wait for me to get you a piece of clothes."
Lin Ping ran back to the house and took out a piece of clothes he bought from the city last time and gave it to Liu Xiangqian to put on, and then said, "It is a very uncivilized behavior. Don't be shirtless in public in the future. You are not a farmer who works hard in the field under the scorching sun. You are a student, and you have to look like a student."
"Okay." Liu Xiangqian nodded and put on the clothes Lin Ping gave him.
At this time, eight of the nine students had arrived, and one Wang Yige was still not here, so Lin Ping was a little worried.
After a while, Ma Zhongguo said, "I'll go into the village to see who will help me repair the house, and go to Wang Yige's house to see what's going on. You'll take the children to class."
"Okay, Teacher Ma, be careful on the road." Lin Ping reminded.
"Um."
Ma Zhongguo nodded and agreed to take out the donkey in the classroom. Just as he was about to leave, Wang Yige, who had his head down, came from outside.
"Yige, you are here, what's wrong?"
Lin Ping found that there were signs of crying on Wang Yige's face and asked with concern.
Wang Yige wiped the corners of his eyes and said, "My grandfather's house collapsed yesterday, and he injured my grandfather's leg."
When Ma Zhongguo heard this, he asked anxiously: "How is it? Is it serious? Where is your grandfather?"
Wang Yige said: "My grandfather was sent to the doctor in Dongliuzhuang by my uncle."
"Did your parents not be at home? Then you don't have to go to class today, go and accompany your grandfather." Lin Ping said.
Wang Yige shook his head firmly: "My grandfather asked me to come to class. He said that my studies are important. It's okay for him to have my grandmother and uncle accompany him."
Lin Ping touched Wang Yige's head with emotion and said, "Okay, then let's go back to the classroom to have class."
Because of heavy rain, although the classroom was not seriously leaking, it was still very wet. Lin Ping and the children taught and learned in a difficult environment.
At noon, Ma Zhongguo came back from outside.
"How is it? When will someone come to repair it?" Lin Ping asked.
"It will be no longer possible for a while." Ma Zhongguo sighed and said, "This rain is a bit heavy, and several families in the mountains have collapsed..."
It turned out that this heavy rain suffered not only Ma Zhongguo and Lin Ping's houses, but their situation was relatively light.
"What about the villagers? There are no casualties, right?" Lin Ping asked with concern.
Ma Zhongguo shook his head with a serious expression: "I haven't heard of someone 'injury', but a few families were injured. Two seriously injured were taken down the mountain by the villagers overnight after the rain stopped."
Lin Ping nodded with a serious expression and said no.
"There are several nearby villages who need to repair houses. Some of them have a serious situation than ours, so we need to wait for a few days before we can find someone to help repair it." Ma Zhongguo said.
"Well, it's okay. These classrooms are pretty good. Let's go to that unnecessary classroom to sleep for a few days." Lin Ping said.
"Well, that's all I can do." Ma Zhongguo nodded.
In the afternoon, Lin Ping continued to take the children to class, and suddenly a system prompt rang out.
[Congratulations! Your student, the alumnus of our school, "Liu Dazhu", won the second place in the 100m freestyle in the 100m freestyle in the 100m freestyle competition in the 100m freestyle competition in Hanhua Province, and won the best results in our province in history.]
[Congratulations! Your student, the alumnus of our school, "Liu Dazhu", was selected to join the Hanhua Provincial Youth Swimming Team!]
After hearing the system prompt, Lin Ping was delighted. He has been busy with the teaching of several junior high school students these days, and has forgotten to miss Liu Dazhu, a silly child. Liu Dazhu is OK. It turns out that gold will always shine. In just over a month, he stood out in the municipal swimming competition and was selected to join the provincial team!
Lin Ping was so happy that he was selected into the provincial swimming team.
However, Lin Ping was very puzzled. Why could Liu Dazhu only get second place? What was even more puzzled was why he could still break the swimming competition record of Hanhua Province after winning second place to win the best results in Hanhua Province in history. What is this operation?
What about the first one?
