Chapter 10 Buying Rice

"Principal Tan! Aren't you going home after school?" Xia Liang stood at the door of the office, looking at Principal Tan who was eating lunch with a smile on his face.

"Oh! Teacher Xia, I'm not going back. I still have some homework to correct at noon. Has Teacher Xia eaten?" Principal Tan asked, putting down his chopsticks.

Xia Liang walked into the office and stood in front of the principal's desk: "Does the principal know where to buy rice?"

"Buying rice? Did Teacher Xia encounter any difficulties?"

"No, I promised my classmates that I will give each of them two catties of rice when they come to class tomorrow."

"Two catties of rice?!" President Tan seemed to have heard some shocking news, and stood up anxiously.

Xia Liang didn't know why he was so excited, but she nodded obediently: "Yeah, what's wrong?"

"Mr. Xia! You just came to school and don't know the situation. There are many cases in the class that don't come to class, which is normal. It is not easy for them to persist until the sixth grade of elementary school. They are now half of the family's labor force. Even if they don't go to school, they still have something to do!"

Principal Tan's earnest words did not make Xia Liang very happy, but instead frowned heavily.

It turns out that this kind of thinking does not only exist in uneducated people, even Principal Tan, who has spent his whole life teaching and educating people, has become accustomed to this phenomenon and has integrated into it!
Seeing that Xia Liang didn't speak, Principal Tan sighed deeply, sat down on the chair and said: "Mr. Xia, hurry up and explain clearly to the students, don't send it, don't wait for people to come tomorrow, it's not good Take it, some parents will be difficult to deal with at that time!"

Xia Liang shook her head: "I must distribute this rice. I must let them go back to school, at least get a primary school diploma, otherwise it will be in vain for them to persist for so many years!"

A primary school diploma is already a pretty good stepping stone for the era of illiteracy everywhere. At least they will not have difficulty in getting a car when they go out to work in the future!

Xia Liang clearly knows the future development of the country, she can't explain to them how the country has become stronger, how the society has progressed, and how the people live a better life day by day
She has witnessed the changes of the times with her own eyes and lived that kind of extravagant life herself. Not to mention 100 years later, in the next 30 to [-] years, she will enter the era of materialistic desires. If she is illiterate, it will be very difficult to survive!

Seeing Xia Liang's insistence, Principal Tan could only sigh helplessly: "Hey! Then you can go to the big market in the county to have a look. Rice is easy to buy now, but Mr. Xia, don't blame me for not reminding you, some people are forever Can't get enough!"

Xia Liang naturally understood Principal Tan's meaning, she nodded, thanked her, and then turned back.

Xia Liang still has some money, which is enough to buy rice, but according to the memory of the original owner, if she wants to go to the county town, she has to take a bus, and she may not be able to make it back at night!
It's really troublesome. No wonder people here are reluctant to eat rice. Being poor is one thing. The distance is far away, and it's troublesome to go out and come back!
Xia Liang finally got on the bus to the provincial capital. The village is actually not too far from the provincial capital. The journey takes only more than two hours, but the number of buses is too small, one early and one late. It's dust.

It was only when Xia Liang arrived in the provincial capital that he had the feeling that he was still in this world. He had been in that small mountain village before, and felt that he had been cut off from the world. Now when he saw those "tall buildings" that were not tall buildings, he felt a little emotional .

"Ma'am, do you know where the big market is going?" Xia Liang asked a woman who was dressed in a foreign style.

"Go east, follow the road signs!" The woman replied as she walked.

Xia Liang thanked her, and walked eastward, the market was easy to find, there were many places selling rice, but luckily they all had clearly marked prices.

Twenty-five cents a catty of rice!
She calculated it in her mind, there were twenty students in the class, and each of them weighed two catties, so the total cost was only ten yuan!
In this way, she is still a little rich woman, right?
Xia Liang knew that she would not be able to go back at night, so after buying rice, she found a hotel at random!
She thought that she could rest first, wait until midnight, and go back in her own way when there was no one around.

After she put the rice away, she thought that she had to go shopping and buy two sets of clothes, but she really had nothing to wear!

As soon as I went downstairs, I saw a very familiar car parked downstairs!

She just went out and turned back, lying on the table at the front desk and asked, "Madam Boss, which room does the owner of the car at the door live in?"

The proprietress raised her head, and then smiled contemptuously: "Don't think about it, he brought his girlfriend here!"

Xia Liang was taken aback for a moment, and then understood that the proprietress saw herself as a woman who wanted sugar daddy!

"He is my friend. I just found out that he also lives here, so I wanted to ask."

The proprietress was dubious, and after a long silence, she said, "305."

Xia Liang frowned and smiled: "Thank you lady boss!"

She stood at the door and knocked on the door, and a voice came from inside the room: "Who is it?"

"The waiter delivered something!"

The door was opened, through the crack, Xia Liang saw Zhou Zhengke's reddish face and dripping hair, followed by his naked body wrapped in a bath towel, and his fragrant shoulders wrapped in a quilt behind him woman.

The woman poked her head out and asked eagerly, "Who is it?"

Xia Liang just wanted to ask for a pair of eyes that didn't see this scene!

She subconsciously covered her eyes, not daring to look at Zhou Zhengli's face that was about to open her mouth to swallow her alive!

"Bang!" It was the sound of closing the door.

Xia Liang clutched her heart, she belatedly began to reflect on herself!
what's up?Xia Liang, you are a woman of the new era!You are not a feudal woman in the old society, what a big deal!Isn't it just that I ran into someone who was... so what? !
Don't be ashamed!

Two minutes later, the door was opened again, Zhou Zhengli walked out from inside, and locked the door again.

At this time, he has already put on his clothes, and he looks well-dressed!
"What are you doing here?" The well-dressed politician Zhou seemed as if nothing had happened.

"I came to buy rice, and when I saw your car downstairs, I thought of coming up to say hello. I didn't expect..." Xia Liang was still a little embarrassed, after all, he didn't know him very well.

"Oh, are you done shopping?"

"Well, it's over."

"have you eaten yet?"

"No." Xia Liang answered truthfully.

Zhou Zhengke put his hands in his trouser pockets, walked downstairs, and said as he walked, "Let's go, treat you to dinner!"

Xia Liang followed, thinking about whether to ask, Zhou Zhengke said to himself, "She has eaten."

Xia Liang: "..."

Why do you think that after being taken advantage of and become well-dressed, your mind will be better?
