20 years of teaching

Chapter 71 Do You Know Diarrhea
Shi Xingxi said: "Master Lin, what you said is wrong. Being a teacher is the best job. Weekends and winter and summer vacations are excluded in a year, and the working day only takes up half a year. How can money be used to measure the quality of a job? Teacher Teaching and educating people is to accumulate virtue and goodness, which is better than any other work!"

Lin Feifan didn't expect that his father, who usually doesn't talk much, knows so many people, and he didn't expect Master Shi to have such a high opinion of the profession of teachers.

Master Shi also mentioned Mr. Lin, so Master Shi must know Grandpa.

What kind of person is grandpa?
……

After moving things, the three continued chatting.

Carpenter Liu said: "If my son becomes a teacher, I will go to the temple every day to offer incense."

Shi Xing smiled and said: "Then you go to the temple every day to offer incense, so that your son can become a teacher."

Master Liu sighed deeply and said, "I just went to the temple to be a monk and ring the bell. Neither of my sons can be a teacher. I can only wait for the next life to see if I have this blessing in the next life."

Lin Youde wiped his hands on his trousers, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, carefully tore open the opening of the pack, and passed the cigarettes to the two of them.

Shi Xingxi held the cigarette back and forth around his nostrils, took a few deep breaths, and exclaimed: "It smells so good!"

Carpenter Liu looked at the words on the cigarette, his eyes lit up, and shouted, "Ashima! Master Lin, the cigarettes cost ten yuan a pack, right?"

"My son came here to work, and I expected to meet some acquaintances, so I bought a pack of Ashima as a treat." Lin Youde sealed the torn opening again, and stuffed the cigarettes into his pocket.

"A treat, right? One cigarette isn't enough. I'm going to your house someday, and you want to buy us a drink." Master Liu took out his lighter, helped Master Shi light his cigarette, and lit his own cigarette, only to find that Lin Youde put the cigarette in the into his pocket, "Master Lin, have you quit smoking?"

"I'm not used to smoking this cigarette. I'll smoke dry tobacco when I go home." Lin Youde said with a smile.

"Can't bear to smoke? Come, smoke mine." Master Liu took a deep puff of the cigarette, and took out half a pack of Butterfly Spring from his pocket, "Don't be too frugal, if I have a family background as rich as yours, I will be popular every day If you drink spicy food, you are too lazy to do anything!"

"No, no, I'm really not used to smoking cigarettes." Lin Youde pressed Master Liu's hand back into his pocket, and lowered his voice, "Don't talk nonsense, I don't have any family background! It's not good for children to hear!"

"Then I'll go back first, and I have to deliver the goods in the morning. I'll go to the Jinghu Group one day, and I'll go directly to your house for a drink." Master Liu rang the walking tractor with the crank, "In my opinion, the entire Lingnan Town , no one is richer than you!"

Shi Xingxi then also left and went to the kitchen.

After the two left, Lin Feifan curled his lips and said, "Isn't it just an Ashima, you are so reluctant to smoke one yourself!"

Lin Youde smoked dry tobacco most of the time, but he also occasionally smoked paper cigarettes at home, which were very cheap. He said, "A piece costs [-] cents. I keep this cigarette for hospitality, and I smoke it to waste."

Lin Feifan was puzzled: "How could this person say that no one in Lingnan Town is richer than you?"

Lin Youde's complexion changed slightly, and then he smiled, hiding a trace of nervousness: "He just likes to joke! Maybe he envied me when he saw you became a national teacher. A son who has a great future is a kind of wealth!"

"Is being a teacher considered promising?" Lin Feifei laughed self-deprecatingly, and changed the subject, "Dad, Master Shi still knows my grandfather? I can't understand some things he said."

Lin Youde said slowly: "When Jinghu Junior High School was first built, Master Shi came here. At that time, your grandfather often came here. Your grandfather coordinated the land of Jinghu Junior High School and gave it to Jinghu Junior High School for free. The Jinghu team didn’t confiscate any money. Many beams and rails on this house were donated by your grandfather.”

"No wonder Master Shi said it was fate!" Lin Feifei murmured.

Since Master Shi is so familiar with Dad and also knows Grandpa, then Master Shi must know some secrets about Grandpa.

Can I ask Master Shi something about Grandpa?

What happened that year?Is it a natural disaster or a man-made disaster?Why are the three relatives buried in random graves?

Seeing his son in a daze, Lin Youde asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"Uh, I was wondering how do you know Master Liu?" Lin Feifei said with a smile.

Lin Youde said: "He, he used to be a stonemason with me, and later changed his career to be a carpenter. He opened a carpentry shop on the street, made and sold it himself, and the business was very good. It's a pity that his eldest son is a prodigal. He goes to the police station at both ends, hangs out with ruffians all day long, and does some immoral things. I heard that his youngest son is not good at school and often has conflicts with his classmates."

"Dad, what's the name of his eldest son?" Lin Feifei felt that Master Liu's face was very familiar.

Lin Youde said: "I don't know the exact name, but his eldest son had dysentery on his head when he was a child, and it hasn't been cured for several years. The neighbors all call him dysentery."

"Dysentery?" Lin Feifei opened his mouth wide in shock.

"Do you know dysentery?" Lin Youde asked nervously, he was most afraid that his son would learn bad things.

"No... I don't know him, I don't know him!" Lin Feifan rubbed his nose and laughed.

"That's good. Don't hang out with those people. You are a national teacher. You should be careful when you make friends. Don't lower your character." Lin Youde packed up his belt and prepared to go home.

"Dad, how many watts do you want to pull?" Lin Feifan quickly changed the subject.

"This house requires at least [-] watts," Lin Youde said.

"Dad, how many are there at home?"

"There are five or six hundred left."

"Then you bring them all."

"Not so much, pull it all over and waste it."

"You should also renovate the house next door. This house was only occupied yesterday, and it's leaking." Lin Feifan pointed to the house next door.

"It's not your house, why..." Lin Youde paused, and smiled happily again, "Okay, I'll pull them all over and try to renovate both houses this afternoon."

Lin You dragged the cart and walked quickly to the school gate.

Lin Feifan shouted: "Dad, do you want me to go back and help push the cart together?"

Lin Youde didn't slow down, and didn't turn his head: "No, five or six hundred watts doesn't weigh much. You stay in school, work is the most important thing."

……

Dong Qiulian came back with a bucket of wrung clothes in her left hand and a laundry stool in her right hand.

Followed by Li Mintong, holding a soap box and a mallet.

Go out of the school gate and continue to walk 60 to [-] meters ahead. There is a pond. During the summer vacation, the victims of the disaster wash their clothes there.

There are two wells in Jinghu Junior High School, one is dedicated to the canteen, and a water tower is built next to the well next to the canteen. The teachers and students in the school basically rely on this well for drinking water.

Another well is not far from the student dormitory, and the water is drawn by pumps.

At a fixed time every day, Shi Xingxi turns on the knife switch and uses the water pipe to generate water.

Dozens of buckets are lined up together, and Shi Xingxi will distribute different amounts of water according to the seasons.

During the wet season, everyone's buckets will be filled, but during the dry season, Shi Xingxi only distributes half a bucket of water to each person.

The key to the knife switch is kept by Shi Xingxi, and the well cover is also locked, and buckets cannot be used to draw water from the well.

During the summer vacation, Shi Xingxi never used a water pump to pump water for the victims, and only opened the tap water in the cafeteria to supply draft water.

Therefore, the victims have to wash their clothes in the pond outside the school.

Seeing a lot of things at the door, Dong Qiulian quickly put down the bucket and laundry bench, and said to Lin Feifan who was standing at the door: "Mr. Lin, these are all yours, right? I'll help you move them into the house."
