I had a sound night's sleep.
The next day, Xiaoqi got up, washed, and practiced calligraphy as usual.
But I didn’t go running. I’m going to Shanya Village today, so I guess I’ll have to walk a lot.
My body still feels a little sore, but it’s not serious. Regular exercise and stretching are very effective.
After practicing calligraphy, Xiaoqi stretched his body and then called up his classmate Jiajia.
After a few days of excitement, Liang Jiajia began to miss her lazy sleep during the holidays, but she was still excited to think about being able to go out and play with her teacher and a group of foreigners today.
After lying in bed for a while, I finally got up.
I originally wanted to wear my newly bought shiny Bollinger slippers, but Teacher Xiaoqi asked me to wear sneakers that are comfortable for walking.
Xiaoqi took Jiajia to Luoxi Town to have breakfast, beef soup and steak rice. Xiaoqi liked this restaurant very much, but unfortunately the school did not have it.
There is one opened in the new district, but the taste is completely different. Maybe it’s not authentic, it doesn’t have the same flavor.
Xiaoqi is going to the town’s vegetable market to buy seasonings for the barbecue, as there are plenty of them in the market.
Xiaoqi also bought various kinds of cumin, peppercorns, chili peppers, cinnamon, etc., and a bottle of honey.
The lamb and pork belly looked good, so Xiaoqi bought some and prepared a lot of bamboo skewers.
The foreign teachers prepared chicken wings, chicken, sausages and so on.
If it's any more complicated, they won't be able to prepare.
Just go back after buying it.
On the way, Xiaoqi called his parents.
"Nannan, did you participate in the running competition? Your father said he saw you on TV." Sheng Juanhua asked.
"Well, I went there yesterday and won a prize. I guess it's because girls from the village are good at running. The prize money is quite a lot, but I haven't received it yet. When I get it, I'll save it in my card. You can see what I can do with it." Xiao Qi said.
When I didn’t win, the money felt very far away. Now that I haven’t received the money, it still feels far away. It’s better to put the money in pocket and run. That’s probably the way it is.
However, after a day and a night of calming down, Xiaoqi is now very calm.
The game is over, she has finished this thing, and the results are out. There is no need to be excited or crazy. She should just keep looking forward and moving forward. She still has a lot of things to do.
Sheng Juanhua felt a little relieved after hearing her daughter's ordinary words. To be honest, the couple didn't sleep much last night. The child's father got up three or four times in the middle of the night, and she couldn't sleep either.
She was on speakerphone, so Su Youfu could hear her.
Su Youfu said, "We're not short of money. Just buy whatever you need. Didn't you say you studied computer science? You know, is a computer expensive? You should buy one too. Don't buy something too cheap, and don't buy something too expensive either. Just buy something in the middle."
"I know. If there's anything missing, I'll buy it. You and mom will too."
The family chatted about the trivialities of life. Su Youfu also asked Xiaoqi what she had eaten these days and whether there was food to eat during the school holidays. He felt relieved when he heard his daughter say that the cafeteria was open.
Then he hung up the phone.
Sheng Juanhua suddenly realized that her daughter's bonus this time was not 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, but more than 1 million yuan. Why was her daughter so calm?
Even the couple who hadn't slept all night seemed very calm.
And with so much money, the daughter didn't say a word and wanted to deposit it into the card. Su Youfu and his friends had passbooks, and Xiaoqi had the card, so they used it together.
"Is our daughter a little careless?" Sheng Juanhua asked after she came to her senses.
Su Youfu pondered for a moment and said, "Isn't it that the money hasn't arrived yet? Why are you making such a fuss now? What if there's no money?"
"That's right, you can't lift your penis." Sheng Juanhua was scolded by her husband and did not mention it any more.
Sheng Juanhua has a hot temper outside, but actually, everything at home is discussed together, and she tends to listen to the opinions of her child's father.
Xiaoqi got up early, bought some things, went to the dormitory manager's kitchen to borrow her to prepare some meat, and brought her a bag of fruit.
It's still early, not even nine o'clock yet.
We agreed to meet at the bridgehead in front of the school gate at nine o'clock.
This time, the school bus is still provided.
To Xiaoqi's surprise, she actually saw her Japanese elective teacher, Mr. Yamamoto.
There were many familiar faces, including Galen, Grace, Kim Jae-yeon, and Xiaoqi got on the bus and greeted them fluently in English, and introduced his little classmate Jiajia.
Liang Jiajia smiled obediently. She didn't know any complicated English, so she could only say "Hello".
Then Xiaoqi greeted Mr. Yamamoto in Japanese and chatted with him for a while.
The other teachers were quite surprised. They didn’t expect Su’s English to be so good, and his Japanese was also pretty good.
Of course, the one who was most surprised was little Jia Jia, who thought her teacher was so invincible.
She knew that they only started learning Japanese when their teacher was teaching them English, but now they can actually communicate with Japanese people in Japanese. It's incredible.
Mr. Yamamoto was quite surprised to see Su Xiaoqi. He was very impressed by this student because she was always very serious in his class.
It was also from this serious student that Mr. Yamamoto found something again. He seemed to see the image of his youth.
It was also because of this student that he suddenly wanted to go out for a walk.
There was a foreign teacher group for the previous donation activity. Someone mentioned this activity. Yamamoto himself lived like an ascetic monk. A meal usually consisted of a bowl of rice, a vegetable dish, and a soup. Sometimes the soup was replaced with boiled water. However, he thought that doing good was also a good thing, so he also donated 5,000 yuan.
He is very frugal and five thousand yuan is a lot for him. Looking at his clothes, pants and shoes, he hasn't replaced them for several years.
Mr. Yamamoto, who had just thought of going out for a walk, didn't expect to meet this student who was studying hard. Mr. Yamamoto forced a smile on his face. He wanted to express his joy, but perhaps he hadn't smiled for too long. His smile sounded cold and gloomy, like a bad guy. It would be better for him not to smile.
Xiao Qi was also a little scared, and couldn't help but think of the old man who died quietly in the village. It was said that he was found a long time after his death, and his body was smelly, but he had a smile on his face, which was very scary.
Despite this, Xiaoqi could still feel that Mr. Yamamoto was trying to express goodwill, and he responded with a bright smile.
After everyone gathered, the bus started again and headed towards Luoxi Town.
First, you have to drive to Dadong Township. Although the road is a bit narrow, when you encounter oncoming cars, one car has to give way and find a slightly wider roadside to stop before you can pass and continue forward. However, the scenery along the way is quite beautiful.
There are many stone mountains on the roadside, which are indescribably magnificent and vicissitudes of life.
Xiaoqi also brought painting tools with her, but since she couldn't paint in the car, she was carefully observing the scenery along the way.
After driving for more than an hour, we arrived at Dadong Township, but the scenery was quite ordinary.
Dadong Township, where many people live, is not very clean and has no complete planning and construction. It feels like a somewhat messy town, like Huanghe Town where Xiaoqi's hometown is. There is only one central street with small shops on both sides of the road. There are fixed days of market every month, which makes it lively. Today is not a market day, so it is very deserted.
The bus continued to move forward, and the cement road that was wide enough for one car to pass gradually turned into a small, winding dirt road that was difficult for even one car to pass.
The bus was also swaying back and forth.
Finally we reached a mountain intersection, and there was no road at all.
This is the intersection leading to Shanya Village, but buses cannot drive in. You can go there by motorcycle or on foot.
However, only locals dare to ride motorcycles on this kind of road that goes up very steeply and is like a cliff. Outsiders cannot ride it.
The only way left is to walk up.
Originally, this place was discovered by a few foreign teachers during their adventure. They didn't expect that there was a village halfway up the cliff. The scenery in that village is really beautiful, but it is also really poor.
The bus stopped and everyone took down their belongings, and then they had to walk.
Liang Jiajia carried a lot of snacks in her schoolbag, mostly puffed foods, so it wasn't heavy.
Heavy drinks, condiments, fruits, and meat were all in Xiaoqi's schoolbag. Xiaoqi was wearing sweatpants, a T-shirt, a windbreaker jacket, sneakers, and a hat. He was fully equipped.
The same was true for the foreigners. Although it was a picnic and barbecue, they all dressed up as if they were going to war and were dressed like warriors.
The only one who seemed a little out of place was probably Mr. Yamamoto. He was still wearing a shirt and creased trousers. His shoes were sneakers, but they looked very worn.
As we walked up, we could see streams flowing down from the mountains along the roadside. The scenery became better and better, which was really nice.
Seeing that Mr. Yamamoto was out of breath, Xiao Qi stopped and walked into the mountain beside the road. After a while, he came out with a tree trunk in his hand. He handed it to Mr. Yamamoto and said in Japanese, "Sir, you can use this as a hiking stick."
