As soon as Zhao Shiyan said this, Ling Zhi thought of this.
Previously, Yao Jun called him over in a hurry, and he had no time to think too much.
While in the car, I was thinking about what Yao Jun said to me, and I couldn't think of his intention to call me over today after just adding him on WeChat last night.
Now that I think about it carefully, it is indeed a bit strange. On the surface, he seemed to be in a hurry when he called me here, but he seemed to have planned everything well in advance.
Lexus didn't like this feeling very much.
"No matter what, it's here. Let's take it one step at a time. I don't have a clue now."
"Too."
"But speaking of which, when I see Teacher Lu Ming, I still want to ask you? Has he agreed for you to come with me to intern at Penguin next semester?"
"Uh, Ling Zhi, I haven't dared to tell Teacher Lu yet."
"Oh, that's right. Even I have encountered a lot of resistance in this matter. If you say it, it will only be more difficult than me."
"It doesn't matter Lingzhi, I will definitely convince Teacher Lu!"
"Oh? So confident?"
"Well! Teacher Lu is very good to us, he will definitely understand me!"
Ling Zhi smiled bitterly. This girl was too optimistic. But it's okay. There's no point in looking sad now. If Teacher Lu Ming doesn't agree in the future, then he can find another way.
The two of them were hanging behind the crowd, talking quietly. Some people looked back at the couple from time to time, showing an envious look.
This social survey was originally intended for Zhao Shiyan and Yang Jianhuan to experience sociological "fieldwork" together. But as soon as Ling Zhi came and paired up with Zhao Shiyan, it seemed that they were here for a trip. If he had known better, he would have put his own family there
My girlfriend also came here.
But after taking a closer look at the appearance of this village, everyone gradually gave up the idea of coming to have fun.
The road in front of us is very narrow, and the road has not been renovated for a long time. The houses are in shabby condition, and the exterior walls have not been painted, and the bricks and stones are visible.
This is a house from the last century!
In less than a few hours, coming from a big city to such a small village still makes it difficult for most students to adapt immediately. Feeling the bumpy roads under their feet also slows down the slight feeling of freshness that arose when they first entered the village.
It slowly subsided.
Yao Jun and Lu Ming were walking at the front of the team, seemingly discussing the itinerary of the visit.
Not long after, I saw a young man walking towards me and smiled at Teacher Lu Ming:
"You are Teacher Lu, right." "Yes, I am."
"My father has already told me to wait for you here. Come with me."
"Okay, I'll trouble you then. What's your name?"
"Ah? What?"
"I said, what's your name?"
"Oh, my name is Deng Fei, just call me Xiao Deng."
Everyone followed Deng Fei into an ordinary house, and saw an old man leaning on crutches and tremblingly preparing to stand up from the stone bench. Upon seeing this, Teacher Lu and Deng Fei hurriedly stepped forward to support the old man and said:
"Village Chief Deng, just sit down and I'd like to thank you for allowing us to come over!"
"Ahem...cough...I'm sorry, we are very happy that you can come, but we didn't treat you well and made you feel wronged."
"No no......"
The two elders began to chat enthusiastically, and Deng Fei also invited everyone to sit aside, and then everyone introduced themselves to the old village chief.
The old village chief also smiled and nodded to everyone, and asked symbolically about everyone's academic status.
Before we knew it, everyone was chatting until noon. The old village chief invited everyone to have dinner at home, and Lu Ming did not refuse.
"Teacher, could this be the legendary bamboo tube rice? This is my first time eating it."
Shi Ruilin looked at the steaming rice in the bamboo tube and couldn't help the novelty. He quickly took a mouthful and spit it out immediately!
"Damn, teacher, why is this rice so hard? It's not cooked properly."
Lu Ming chuckled lightly and explained:
"The water supply in Yuanxi Village is quite tight, and when cooking rice, we don't use a rice cooker, so the rice will inevitably absorb water unevenly. As for you, just make do with it."
"Oh. But teacher, why is it so difficult here? The places we went to in the past are not like here."
At this time, Yao Jun explained for Director Lu:
"In the past, the places we went to, to put it bluntly, were for you to travel at public expense! Why, when you really get to the place where you have to endure hardship, you can't stand it anymore?"
"No, it's just that the gap is a bit big. When I first came in, I took a quick look and saw that there didn't seem to be a hotel or anything like that in this village, so where should we stay at night?"
"I have already discussed with the village chief that we will stay in the villagers' homes at night."
"That's it. Alas, if I had known earlier I wouldn't have come. Forget it, I really can't get used to it. I'll eat solid food, teacher."
Lu Ming looked at the students around him and followed Shi Ruilin's example of rummaging through their backpacks for dry food. He shook his head secretly and did not persuade them, but continued to eat the rice in front of him.
Yao Jun frowned as he looked at his fellow juniors, stood up, and walked outside the door. He looked at Deng Fei squatting by the wall, eating steamed buns and eating a plate of pickles, and walked straight over and asked:
"Didn't I say hello in advance? There should be meat in the bamboo tube rice. Why, have you forgotten?"
Deng Fei seemed a little embarrassed. He put the pickles on the ground, stood up, patted the dirt on his butt, and explained:
"Boss, we don't usually eat meat ourselves. It's really difficult for us to get meat for you."
Yao Jun seemed not to let him go, and continued to ask:
"Isn't your village already out of poverty a long time ago? Why, you can't even afford meat?"
"Boss, you seem to have a bit of a misunderstanding. The poverty hat has been lifted, but it only means that we can have enough to eat. There is still a long way to go before we can eat well."
Hearing this, Yao Jun stopped talking nonsense, nodded and walked back to the house.
Looking at the tube of rice in front of him, Yao Jun was hesitating whether to eat it or not. At this time, he looked at Ling Zhi and Zhao Shiyan aside, and was surprised to find that they were almost finished!
Yao Jun naturally did not expect that Ling Zhi and Zhao Shiyan had experienced more difficult situations than this, but now that they could have hot food to eat, they were already very satisfied and naturally they would not complain.
Yao Jun no longer hesitated, endured the disgust in his heart, and began to slowly eat his rice.
After finishing the meal, Deng Fei came in to clean up everyone's dishes and chopsticks. He was slightly surprised when he saw that the rice in the three bamboo tubes had been swept away, and he secretly remembered the couple in front of him.
When he saw the untouched rice next to him, he didn't pay much attention to it. He carefully put the unfinished rice into a large basin and didn't seem to intend to throw it away.
"Hey, brother, this rice must have fallen down. The weather is so hot. I see you don't have a refrigerator here. It won't taste good if it's been left out for too long."
Deng Fei smiled, shook his head and said:
"It's okay, we don't care."
After saying that, without further explanation, he walked to the kitchen with the rice bowl in his arms.
At this moment, everyone heard a woman's voice coming from outside the door:
"Is Village Chief Deng at home?"
The others didn't react at all, but Ling Zhi and Zhao Shiyan were slightly stunned. Then they ran out of the door one after another. When they saw the person coming, they said in surprise:
