Hearing this, Luo Baozhen and Chen Chuhui looked at each other.
Chen Chuhui shook his head, "No, my wife is her teacher."
The uncle sighed, "Ah! It's the teacher, Nizi's family...hey, I can't say. Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite."
"We have to walk further in to Nizi's house. When we see the slope in front of us, go up the slope. The one at the top is her house."
Chen Chuhui looked in the direction of his finger. The earthen house could be seen at a glance.
"Thank you very much, uncle. Then we won't waste your time."
"No, no." The hunchbacked uncle carefully stuffed Chen Chuhui's cigarette into his pocket before continuing to walk forward.
Luo Baozhen tugged on Chen Chuhui's sleeve, "I feel like I have a difficult task today."
Chen Chuhui held Luo Baozhen's hand and said, "Go and take a look first before talking. Just do your best."
It was the first time that Dabao saw such clusters of mud houses, many of which were covered with thatch. He couldn't help but ask: "Mom, why are there such houses here?"
"Because I am poor and have no money to build a better one, Dabao." Luo Baozhen had to tell the truth.
She doesn't know what it feels like now. Will Xu Ni go to foster parents next year?
what's the situation?
I kept thinking about how to meet Xu Ni later, how to persuade her family to continue going to school, etc.
Her thoughts were confused.
Be nervous!
Chen Chuhui seemed to see Luo Baozhen's anxiety, "Daughter-in-law, go take a look first. Dabao and I are waiting for you outside. If you need anything, call me."
"it is good."
Luo Baozhen stood at Xu Ni's house, looking at the fallen wall of her house and the dark and damp environment inside.
Her heart still skipped a beat.
Dabao was also stunned. Sister Xu Ni's family actually lived in such a house.
It's so cold, right?
Luo Baozhen took a deep breath and stepped forward to call people in, "Is there anyone there? Is Xu Ni at home?"
After dodging several balls of chicken feces, Luo Baozhen arrived in front of the main room.
There was a white-haired lady sitting inside. She might have lost her hearing. Luo Baozhen called her several times before she got up.
"Grandma, I am Xu Ni's teacher."
"What? Where are the mice?"
Luo Baozhen raised her voice and said it again.
Only then did Xu Ni’s mother-in-law heard clearly, "Oh, teacher! Hello, teacher! Hello, teacher!"
Luo Baozhen saw that she was standing a little shaky, so she quickly gave her a hand.
I accidentally looked down and saw that this lady had bound feet.
She looks really old, and it seems a little difficult to communicate with her.
Luo Baozhen helped her sit back, "Please sit still."
"There is a grave, where is it?"
Luo Baozhen:……
Luo Baozhen called into the room a few more times, and someone else answered her, so she tentatively walked inside.
There were coughs one after another, and the people inside seemed to be saying something, but Luo Baozhen couldn't hear clearly.
Until she walked into the house, she saw a pale man with a big belly sitting on the bed.
Luo Baozhen moved with difficulty, "Well, hello, comrade, I am Xu Ni's teacher."
When the person on the bed heard the teacher's arrival, it was hard not to notice the sudden light in his eyes, but it soon dimmed.
"You are... ahem... Teacher Luo, right?"
"Yes, it's me."
Xu Ni's mother still wanted to get up, but she really didn't have any strength and kept coughing.
Luo Baozhen looked at the person on the bed, whose face was sallow and bloodless. Seeing that Xu Ni looked a bit like her, she thought it must be her mother.
From the moment she entered the house until now, Luo Baozhen already had a bad feeling in her heart.
When asked about tuition fees, she couldn't open her mouth.
I am advised to continue studying, but I don’t know where to advise.
Luo Baozhen couldn't bear to stay because he was so old and sick, and he even heard that he had adoptive parents.
But she still suppressed the discomfort in her heart and sat down, "You are Xu Ni's mother, right? Well, where is Xu Ni's father?"
Xu Ni's mother smiled at Luo Baozhen, then coughed again, and then said: "Her father went up the mountain... ahem... to cut firewood, and Nizi was hunting pigweed. I heard... what she said The teacher is coming...ahem..."
Luo Baozhen walked up to her and patted her on the back, which made her cough uncomfortably.
Looking closer, Xu Ni’s mother’s belly is surprisingly big, twins?
"Speak slowly."
Xu Ni's mother calmed down for a while and looked out the door, "Teacher, wait, we'll be back soon. Ahem... I heard what Nizi said, ahem... you are a good teacher."
Luo Baozhen really couldn't stand it. She saw a bowl on the table and a kettle there. She walked over and carried someone to pour water on her back, and then secretly added spiritual spring water.
"Well, sister, you have a drink of water, I want to know about Xu Ni's situation."
Xu Ni's mother, maybe because she was thirsty, took the bowl and chopsticks handed over by Luo Baozhen and drank some water, "Thank you, teacher."
"Xu Ni, this child, has good grades in school. She is also very obedient. She is humane, quiet and sensible."
What Luo Baozhen said was true.
"Just a few days ago, she suddenly came to me and said she wouldn't come next week. I was quite surprised. Thinking about such a good student and the child the army had fought for before, it would be a pity not to read and listen."
Xu Ni's mother started crying after hearing this, "It's because we are incompetent, well...she has been obedient since she was a child. It's because we, as parents, are incompetent."
After drinking the spiritual spring water, Xu Ni's mother no longer coughed so much.
Luo Baozhen asked after careful consideration: "Sister, I just accidentally heard that Xu Ni will be sent to her adoptive parents next year?"
When Xu Ni's mother heard this, her tears flowed even more fiercely, "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...There is nothing we can do about it. She is living a very hard life with us. If she goes to her adoptive parents' home, ahem...she can still have a full meal." .”
Luo Baozhen heard footsteps outside the house, and she got up to take a look.
As a result, she saw a man with one third of his white hair.
She was a little unsure about the relationship between this person and Xu Ni.
Fortunately, Xu Ni is back.
"Dad, can this mother eat it?" Xu Ni didn't know what kind of roots she dug.
As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Ni smiled slightly when she saw Luo Baozhen, "Teacher Luo."
Xu Ni's father also showed an honest smile when he saw Luo Baozhen, "Teacher, sit in your room."
Luo Baozhen was a little confused again. She was now looking at Xu Ni's family.
She couldn't see that Xu Ni's mother was the one who beat Xu Ni. Before, she thought that Xu Ni's father had a bad temper and was difficult to talk to.
As a result, as soon as she said hello, she felt that this family was all honest people.
There is a heavy sense of vicissitudes of life in them, and it can be seen that they are all hard-working and responsible people.
If Xu Ni hadn't told her, she would have thought his father was her father.
How wonderful is this? It’s so difficult for Xu Ni’s family!
Luo Baozhen hesitated for a long time and then asked Xu Ni directly, "Xu Ni, are you really not going to school?"
Xu Ni nodded seriously, "I'm not going, teacher."
Xu Ni's father on the side sighed obviously.
