I really don't want to be a teacher

"……sough."

Outside the house, the crying gradually subsided,

It's just that there are more murmurs and hoarse voices, mixed with the rustling and rustling of branches and leaves of medicinal plants in the field.

Sitting in this family's house, at the table, Lian Ge turned his eyes a little bit, looked at the village road outside the house, and in the village, he also heard some noises brought by the breeze blowing in his ears. .

On the village road, some villagers can already be seen passing by,

Either with red eyes, silent, lowered head, moving steps, or with tears in their eyes, turning their heads from time to time, looking towards the end of the village.

At this moment,

The sound of footsteps approaching,

It was the middle-aged man before that, and the middle-aged woman,

The middle-aged man was a little silent, with his head bowed, and the woman's eyes were red, and some tears were still flowing from the eyes.

Pushing the door open again, the middle-aged man turned his head again, looked towards the end of the village, paused for a long time, and then walked into the house again.

……

"...Young man, I'm sorry..."

After entering the house and seeing Lian Ge, it seemed that he remembered that there were guests in his house.

The middle-aged man wiped his red eyes and apologized loudly.

Turning his head back again, he looked at his wife who was still standing outside the door with red eyes and tears streaming down her cheeks.

"... Let's go back to the house and rest first... Tomorrow morning, I have to go there."

After the first half of the sentence was said aloud, the middle-aged man was silent for a while before he spoke the second half of the sentence.

"...You said this...you said this..."

The middle-aged woman opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she just repeated it twice without saying anything.

It's just that the eye sockets became more red, and the tears couldn't stop rolling down, pattering down to the ground.

The middle-aged men stood, stood where they were, and some fell silent again,

"...you go back to the house and rest first...tomorrow morning, I'll go over and help you..."

For a long time, the middle-aged man just repeated what he said before, and fell silent again.

The middle-aged woman listened, her eyes were red, she wiped away the tears still in her eyes, nodded, and walked into the room.

"Sorry, young man, let you see a joke..."

The middle-aged woman entered the room and apologized to Lian Ge, but she was just talking, and the tears in her eyes gradually increased.

"You guys have been waiting for a long time."

The middle-aged man also paused, then turned his head, and said again to Lian Ge.

Lian Ge shook his head, then turned his gaze to the two dishes still on the table,

"Brother, my eldest sister probably hasn't eaten yet, I've saved some of this dish."

On the table, on the two plates, some dishes were set aside individually.

"We have no appetite, we can't eat."

The middle-aged man shook his head and said something out loud.

"Brother, I just heard that everyone in this village seems to be crying?"

Lian Ge glanced at the middle-aged man and woman, and said something again.

The middle-aged man didn't respond, and fell silent, then turned his head and looked towards the end of the village outside the house.

Beside, in the red eyes of the middle-aged woman, there were more tears.

"...Go and rest first...I'll sit here."

The middle-aged man looked in the direction of the end of the village and remained silent for a while, then turned his head and said something to his wife.

The middle-aged woman nodded, then turned her head and said something to Lian Ge.

"That young man, I will excuse you first."

Turning around and wiping her red eyes again, the middle-aged woman walked back to the bedroom next to her.

The middle-aged man turned his head again, looked outside the room, and fell silent again,

Outside the house, there were still crying and crying voices from time to time.

"...Our village head is gone."

After a long time, the middle-aged man looked out of the house again, and said aloud, as if answering what Lian Ge said earlier,

"...Our village head is only that age, only that age..."

Immediately afterwards, it was heart-piercing again, the middle-aged man hoarse his voice, his eyes were in pain, he looked with red eyes, and said aloud,

"...at that age...why...why..."

As he spoke in succession, the hoarse voice already had a bit of crying, and the middle-aged man gradually fell silent again.

Listening to the middle-aged man's words, Lian Ge didn't say anything, and then turned his eyes to look outside the house.

……

"sough……"

Gusts of breeze blew through the village, disturbing the medicinal plants in the fields,

Under the night, in the village, in each family's house, and in the courtyard, lights were lit up, dispelling the night and illuminating the village road.

On the village road illuminated by lights, young men walked out of the village with ghost messengers, passing by houses,

People from every family and every village are still standing outside the house door and in the yard, their eyes are still red and there are some tears in their eyes.

Or murmured, or cried, or remained silent, or said something, as if to bid farewell to their village chief.

Looking at the houses in the village, looking at the medicinal plants in front of and behind the houses, looking at the crops planted in the fields on the hillside outside the village,

The young man paused his gaze again, a little lost in thought,

"...I am the one who reads the most in this village."

The young man followed the ghost messenger, walked along the village road, and walked out of the village. Looking at the village, he was a little dazed, and then said aloud,

Next to him, the ghost messenger just walked forward with the young man, neither responded nor urged.

"... When I was going to college, I didn't have enough money. Some people in the village didn't have much education, and most of them didn't support me very much. They didn't think it was useful, and there were many people who talked about me behind my back."

"...It's no use saying that I have studied so many books. If I have that money, I might as well do something else."

"...At that moment, I thought, I'm afraid I can't read this book."

"...It's just that, no matter what they say, the money for my study is still paid by the village. Every family in the village collects money for me."

"...When the money was handed over to me, I talked about a lot of things... But in the end, when I was about to leave, I just told me that if I didn't have enough money outside, I would tell the village... the people in the village , don’t let outsiders bully you.”

The young man spoke aloud, with a smile on his face again.

"That's how I went to college..."

The young man spoke aloud, then gradually fell silent again,

Following the ghost messenger, he walked out of the village along the village road illuminated by the lights in the houses and courtyards of the roadside.

Gusts of wind blowing, disturbing the village, in front of the house, behind the house, on the hillside, in the fields, there are patches of medicinal plants, crops, vegetables, there are some rustling sounds,

Then, it passed by every house in the village, disturbing the front yard of every house. Before entering the house, it seemed to be saying goodbye to the village chief, and there were some people standing on their skirts.

The young man looked at the houses with lights on, and his eyes were a little lost.

The ghost messenger walked along without answering or urging.

……

"...Our village head, when he just came back from outside, he said he wanted to be the village head."

In the main room, the fringed incandescent lamps are on, and some lights are swaying down,

The lights reflect the figure of the person under the lamp.

The middle-aged man looked out of the room with red eyes, his eyes were a little dazed, he was silent for a long time, and then said aloud,

It's just that he opened his mouth just now, and as soon as the words came out, the eye sockets became redder again,

"At that time, our village head was only in his early 20s."

His voice was a little hoarse, and the middle-aged man paused for a while before continuing to speak.

Sitting next to him, Lian Ge listened to some voices ringing in his ears, turned his gaze, and looked outside the house as the night was getting darker. There was no interruption in the village.

……

"...At that time, it happened that the previous village head didn't really want to be a village head. In our village, the village head can't play much role."

"...Our village head wants to be the head, and he has studied a lot, so the village agreed."

With dazed eyes, red eye sockets, and some tears accumulated in his eyes, he seemed to be looking at the fields in the village outside the house. The middle-aged man continued to speak.

"...When I became the village head, our village head said, 'The people in our village are no worse than anyone else', 'We have to get rich, and everyone else can get rich, so should we be poor?'..."

"...At that time, no one took it seriously, just a little baby, and no one went to meetings in the village."

"...Later, the village chief said that he would never be able to get rich just by growing these things in the field now, and he had to change to some cash crops."

"At that time, in the village, the fields were planted with rice and wheat all year round. This has been done for generations. Plant when it is time to plant, and harvest when it is time to harvest. What you think about the most all day is also That is, the harvest of one-third of an acre of land will be better this year than last year, and the price of millet, wheat, and rapeseed this year will be better than last year... If you sell a lot of harvest, you can eat a good meal and change into new clothes... Is it not rich? , I don’t have much money, but my ancestors have lived like this for generations, and everyone in the village lives like this, and no one thinks it’s wrong.”

His eyes became more blurred, his eyes were red, the middle-aged man looked at the door of the house and moved a little staggeringly for two steps, then stopped, and looked outside the house, the village, the rice fields, swaying slightly with the gust of breeze flake crops,

He said again and again, not sure if he was responding to Lian Ge's words, or just remembering something by himself,

"...According to the words of the village chief, even the people in the village are already used to being poor. You eat bran and drink porridge, and I eat bran and drink porridge. You wear rag clothes, and I wear rag clothes. People want to eat meat, and want to wear more nice clothes..."

"... At that time, there were still people who scolded the village head behind his back for being mentally ill, saying that if he didn't grow wheat or rice, he was just messing around, and that the village head just wanted to kill them. A few of them danced hard. , and spread it all over the village, wishing to stop at the door of the village chief's house and scold..."

"...At that time, I also felt that the village chief's ideas were unreliable. Our village has grown wheat and rice for generations. We know how to grow these things, and we have never grown them. How can we grow them? Ah, what kind of life is there. Our village is also in this poor mountain depression, and the transportation is not convenient. If you want to become rich, it is easy to say, but it is not so easy."

"...Some people in the village also think that whether this kind of millet can grow wheat can make people rich, and everyone doesn't know, but they must not die of starvation and can survive. This is how our ancestors have survived for generations... If it is different, then who knows Ah... I can live by planting millet and wheat, why should I listen to you and plant something that I have never planted before."

While talking, the middle-aged man paused again, turned around, and looked at Lian Ge,

"Guys, guess what our village chief did back then?"

The middle-aged man's eyes were still a little dazed, and he asked aloud,

Before Lian Ge could reply, he turned his head again, looked outside the room, and continued talking on his own,

"...Those who danced badly, ran to his house to scold, spread the word all over the village, and made a lot of noise. Our village chief went straight to beat them up, and beat them up again if they were dishonest. If you dance well, be honest."

"...those who beat those jumping hard, are afraid to see him..."

The middle-aged man said aloud, his eyes were in a trance, and some smiles appeared on his face,

Immediately afterwards, gradually stopped talking, the smile on his face faded, and the eye sockets became redder.

"...After you have convinced those thorns, the village head doesn't care about those who are really used to being poor, just thinking about it year after year. According to the village head, These are dead pigs, if you don’t let him know what hot is, it’s useless even if you pour boiling water on him every day..."

"...Then, it's for other people in the village."

"... For people like me, who feel that planting other things is unreliable, they grind every day. If you say you don't know how to plant, he will tell you, he knows, as long as you plant, he will teach you one by one. If you can’t learn it in the first year, even if he stays in the field every day, he will plant it for you alone. If you say that you are afraid that it will not be sold after planting it, he will tell you that he has contacted the seller in advance. Go out, he pays for it...the first time he comes back, he says to plant all the seeds, you don't agree...then the second time he comes back, he will tell you to plant more than half of it, if it doesn't work, he will come the third time, and the fourth time...

For those who feel that the risk is high, I will tell you to plant less... Just grind with you every day, when you are in the field, he will follow you on the ridge, if you plant something in the field, he will carry a hoe, While helping you dig the ground, at the same time grinding with you, if you go back from the ground, sometimes you can see him standing at the door of your house waiting, and when he speaks, three sentences can’t be separated from the other things planted in the village , just to grind with you a little bit...At that time, the village said that the village head was simply chanting..."

"...For those who like to drink a little wine, he will bring wine to your room, drink with you, and tell you...For those who have children, just tell you, your child will grow up in the future You have to spend money, how much money is enough to grow rice and wheat, and then do the same as you..."

"...I also bought some candy for those children, so that when those children were in the house, I also helped him tell the parents of the children..."

"...Looking at the end, it seems that people in the whole village hear the words of the village chief all day long, and those words can be memorized by some people in the village..."

"...It's really effective after so much grinding. I can remember what I said, and some people in the village finally listened to it."

As the middle-aged man spoke, his eye sockets became redder, and the tears accumulated in his eye sockets became more intense.
