It was the weather in May, and the little sun was busy kissing the white clouds that were going back and forth with his little red mouth pouted like a blood basin.Some of them flew away in a hurry with their lips; some cuddled up against the red face of the little sun; some turned into dragons and opened their mouths to swallow her; blue eyes.It's a pity that people didn't pay attention to such a beautiful scenery. It's not their fault, it's just that the little sun is too shy and aggressive, and the faces of those who want to see it are covered with oil.So the rich set up their arbors and didn't want to look at them; the poor fell under the shade of willows and dreamed their sweet dreams, who would provoke this idleness.

The chirping of cicadas in the willows and the singing of frogs in the lotus pond are enough to increase people's sense of irritability.The thoughts of the poets tease the falling flowers and the moon in their dreams, weaving into a piece of sorrow.The rich people ride on the fiery pomegranate flowers, the cocoon yellow butterfly, which adds a bit of elegance.Lao Zhang has neither the poet's sense of touch, nor the rich man's timely pleasure; he only stretches his right hand, looks up, counts the red apricots on the apricot tree in the courtyard, and prepares them for the students as a reminder to the parents of Mai Qiu's students .As for the half-sized apricot tree that is full of red apricots, we don't know whether it can be clearly counted, but Lao Zhang is probably sure.

"Cough! Lao Zhang!" Lao Zhang just counted to ninety-eight, counted two more to make one hundred, pinched his thumb on the first knuckle of his index finger, and then looked back.This gentle pinch, slow turn, more than forty years of experience in this world! "Fourth, sit inside!" "No! I'm still in a hurry to go back, the errands are very tight these two days!" "Not busy, I have something to eat!" Lao Zhang shook his head full of philosophy, and jumped out word by word from his thin lips. "Your brother Li Wucai gave me a call. The new academic officer has arrived at the office of the fifth child. Come down now. Get ready! We are not afraid of their appearance, but we don't have to deliberately indifferent to them. Get ready, I will Let's go, see you another day." The man walked out while wiping the sweat off his face.

"It's the big..." Lao Zhang hurried two steps, wanting to ask more details. "The new one. Anyway, I have to prepare, see you another day!" The man said and walked out of the hospital. Lao Zhang calmed down for a few seconds, quickly read through the decades of experience in his mind, and then ran into the north room instead of three steps. "Little San! Go ask your teacher to prepare a pot of tea and put it under the apricot tree! Hurry up! Xiao Si! Go and invite your father, and tell him that the academic affairs master will come, please come and accompany him. Ask him to put on new shoes, do you hear me?" ?" Little San and Little Four ran out of the house in a hurry. "Put, put it away, and take out "Guo Wen", hurry up!" "Where is "The Doctrine of the Mean"?"

"Don't waste your time! Collect all the old books! Hurry up!" At this moment, Lao Zhang's piggy eyes were indeed much bigger than pig's eyes. "I forgot to bring my Chinese language today, teacher!" "Damn it! It's not a thing! You don't forget it until it's time to die! "Slimming" is also successful!" "Will "Arithmetic" be completed?" "Success! The one with the new book is my father!" Lao Zhang seemed a little anxious. "Wang De! Go get a broom and sweep all the leaves under the apricot tree! Li Ying! You are a good boy, take a wet towel and wipe all the faces of these black monkeys! Quick!"

Those who took the books took the books; those who swept the floor swept the floor; those who wiped their faces wiped their faces; those who seized the opportunity stuck out their tongues;Old Zhang took off the military cap hanging on the blackboard with one hand and put it on his head, and with the other hand he flipped a copy of "Chinese" to look for words he didn't know. "Wang De! Your dictionary?" "That red leather book on the desk is it!" "You're talking nonsense! Damn it! Why can't I find it?" "That's not my desk, how can I find it!" Wang De ran in with a broom and handed the dictionary to Lao Zhang.

"How about your books? When you're ready, go out and stand under the tree! Wang De scan it quickly!" Lao Zhang pressed the dictionary with one hand and glanced under the window. "Haha! I told you to sweep the apricot leaves, and you steal my apricots. Okay! I don't have time now, let's settle the score when the matter is over!" "I didn't mean it. It fell from the tree. When I looked up, it landed in my mouth. It wasn't intentional, teacher!" "Damn you! Scan!" "Damn you 10,000! If you're going to die, you'll eat all the apricots!" Wang De muttered to himself.

After Wang De finished sweeping, the tea was also placed under the apricot tree, and there were twelve bean green tea bowls that had not been used for many years.Xiaosi's father also came over, and sure enough he was wearing new satin shoes.Lao Zhang looked up the dictionary and waited for the academic affairs officer to arrive, feeling more and more restless. "Wang De! You went to look at the door. If you see a car or a man wearing a long coat riding a donkey, come in and tell me. Face east, even if a wasp stung the back of your head, don't look back! Do you hear me?" "Anyway, it's not your head." Wang De said to himself.

"Li Ying! You run, go to the west ice cellar to buy a piece of ice; you want whole pieces, not broken pieces." "Where's the money?" "What's in your pocket? The child is not magnanimous!" Old Zhang showed Mr. Zuo's demeanor. Li Ying looked at Lao Zhang, then at Xiaosi's father—Baye Sun—and walked out without saying a word. At this time, Lao Zhang thought of asking Baye Sun to sit in his room, and he was so upset that he reluctantly chatted with Baye Sun. Sun Baye looked about forty years old, with a short stature and a round face.Walking, shrugging shoulders, and raising heels, in order to be obviously taller and more dignified than the original stature.Two thin eyebrows, a pair of sleepy eyes that are always sleepy; fortunately, there is a high and straight nose, otherwise there is really no "all-in-one" structure on the face.The yellow teeth in the mouth seem to be fitted with "polished and faded" gold teeth; however, the upper lip is covered by a few short whiskers, so that the golden light does not shine all over.A sky-blue satin gown, covered with a beige waistcoat with a wide brim of copper buttons, looks like a country gentleman at a glance.

After a while, Li Ying came in carrying a piece of snow-white ice.Lao Zhang said to Sun Ba: "Ba Ye came to see this move, just say yes, don't laugh!" Sun Ba followed Lao Zhang into the classroom.Lao Zhang took the piece of ice, found another piece of wood, and put them together in the foreign stove on the east wall of the classroom. "Baye! See if this is a good move? The foreign stove is replaced by a refrigerator, which is warm in winter and cool in summer, and can be used for two purposes!" Lao Zhang raised his thumb, squeezed his eyes into a slit, and the dotted line of smile ran from his face The time stretches, until the atrium hits, the heart itches, and it is considered that I have satisfied my pride.

It turns out that Lao Zhang's foreign stove did not have fire tiles in the furnace cavity.Put it in winter, just look at it and feel warm.In the summer, when there is a big ceremony, put a piece of ice in the refrigerator.Sun Ba couldn't stop complimenting after seeing it: "After all, you have drunk ink, and you have something in your stomach!" While talking and joking, Wang De flew in, blocked Lao Zhang's ears, and shouted like a thunderbolt, "Here we come!"
