Chapter 173: Watching People in the Crack of the Door
When Niu Xiaoqiang carried the snakeskin bag around the foot of the mountain, he saw the lights on in the office on the second floor of the school from a distance. That lamp was like a catalyst for Niu Xiaoqiang, he didn't care about being tired, and hurriedly accelerated his pace.
Ten minutes later, Niu Xiaoqiang came to the steps on the first floor out of breath. He put the snakeskin bag on the ground and prepared to rest before going upstairs to meet Teacher Li.
On the second floor, there was a faint sound of singing played by the tape recorder, this song Niu Xiaoqiang is very familiar with, it is "Childhood". Mr. Li used to like to listen to this song very much, and he often played it in the office, and Niu Xiaoqiang listened to it I don't know how many times.
He wiped his sweat, sorted out his appearance, and prepared to meet Mr. Li in the best image, and then he picked up the snakeskin bag and prepared to go upstairs.
At this time, the window of the office on the second floor suddenly opened, Niu Xiaoqiang subconsciously looked up, and before he could see what the situation was, a large basin of warm water suddenly fell from the sky, drenching Niu Xiaoqiang.
"Ahh......h
Niu Xiaoqiang exclaimed, and then a fragrant smell entered his nostrils, and he immediately understood: This is the bath water that Mr. Li spilled.
Conditions in the mountains are limited, and the so-called showers are only imaginary, and people here generally use baths to bathe.
Since music was still playing in the office, Teacher Li did not hear Niu Xiaoqiang's exclamation, she put the bathtub back and closed the window.
Niu Xiaoqiang touched the water stains on his face, and said in his heart: Mr. Li should have used soap, otherwise it would not be so fragrant, this smell is so good.
He shook his head, put aside the distractions in his head, and continued to carry the snakeskin bag upstairs, and soon came to the door of the office. As he stretched out his hand to knock on the door, he suddenly saw a crack in the door, through which bright light shone through.
Niu Xiaoqiang made the god come to the inside to take a look, and then his body froze, and he couldn't move a bit.
After a long while, Niu Xiaoqiang reacted, he turned his head in panic and ran away like a prisoner who had committed a heinous crime.
"Ouch-plop-"
It was very dark in the corridor, and Niu Xiaoqiang stepped on the air without paying attention and rolled down the stairs.
This time the movement was a bit loud, and it finally overshadowed the music in the office. Teacher Li was taken aback, she hurriedly turned off the tape recorder, and asked loudly through the door panel, "Who?!"
Niu Xiaoqiang originally wanted to escape, but because he was thrown too hard, he struggled for a while and didn't get up. Seeing that he couldn't hide, Niu Xiaoqiang could only say worriedly: "Yes...... It's me...... Cow, cow, cow Xiaoqiang ......"
Teacher Li sighed, stretched out his hand and opened the door and walked out.
"Niu Xiaoqiang, why did you come here at night?"
Under the illumination of the flashlight, Niu Xiaoqiang's pig-liver-colored face looked a little weird. He smiled unnaturally, "I...... I'm here to return the book......"
Mr. Li shone a flashlight and found a snakeskin bag next to the office door. Niu Xiaoqiang ran away just now, and left the snakeskin bag by the door in a panic.
Seeing this scene, Teacher Li looked at Niu Xiaoqiang with some doubts, and after taking such a closer look, she found that Niu Xiaoqiang was wet, which made Teacher Li even more puzzled: "Niu Xiaoqiang, what's the matter with the water on your body?"
"That...... When I came, I happened to be drenched in water splashed by the teacher......"
Teacher Li sighed, hurriedly reached out and helped Niu Xiaoqiang up, and apologized vigorously: "I'm really sorry, I didn't know there was someone downstairs, it's a little cold now, you should go to the office and stay in the office." ”
With the support of Mr. Li, Niu Xiaoqiang limped into the office.
A bed has been made in the corner of the office, which is how Mr. Li used to rest. The office is both where she works and where she lives.
On the stool was the clothes that Mr. Li had changed, Niu Xiaoqiang didn't dare to look at it, and his expression looked very unnatural.
Teacher Li didn't have so many ideas, she took her clothes to the bathtub, sprinkled some laundry detergent on them, then poured in the boiling water, and gently rubbed it with her hands.
"Xiaoqiang, I heard that you dropped out of school, can you tell the teacher what this is?"
Niu Xiaoqiang lowered his head and stammered: "My sister and I were admitted to college, and in order to provide for her to study in college, I, I just dropped out of school......"
Teacher Li's eyes widened in surprise and asked, "Which university did your sister go to?"
"Qing, Tsinghua. ”
"Ah?!You, what did you say???You were admitted to Tsinghua University?!!"
Teacher Li's shock was beyond words, and at this moment, her mouth was wide open, and she could stuff a duck egg.
Niu Xiaoqiang glanced at her secretly, then quickly retracted his gaze, lowered his head and said, "En......"
After staying for a long time, Teacher Li came back to her senses, and she couldn't help but sigh: "I really can't imagine that your sister is so powerful, I am far worse than her, I was only admitted to the normal secondary school, and I am still 108,000 miles away from Tsinghua University." ”
"No, the teacher is pretty good......"
"You don't have to comfort me, that's true. ”
Teacher Li reached out and picked up a blanket when he said this: "You put this on, be careful not to catch a cold." ”
Niu Xiaoqiang hurriedly waved his hand: "No, if I get the blanket wet, what will you cover at night?"
Teacher Li insisted: "The teacher still has cotton wool to take a moment, it doesn't matter." ”
Niu Xiaoqiang stretched out his hand to block the blanket, but he didn't agree. His strength is greater than that of Teacher Li, and after arguing for a while, Teacher Li smiled helplessly: "You are an adult, and your strength is greater than mine." ”
Niu Xiaoqiang peeked at the youthful carcass wrapped in Mr. Li's cotton pajamas, and then quickly retracted his gaze, and said with a red face: "I often help the family with farm work, and my strength has been honed." ”
Teacher Li looked at Niu Xiaoqiang's slightly immature cheeks and sighed: "I was still a child who didn't understand anything at your age, unlike you children in the mountains, all of whom are so sensible. ”
Niu Xiaoqiang knew that Mr. Li's family background was better, and children born in this kind of family would be pampered, so he didn't want to entangle with Mr. Li on this issue, so he changed his words and said, "Mr. Li, why don't you teach with us?"
Teacher Li's expression became lonely: "I originally planned to teach and educate people here for at least four or five years, but the plan can't catch up with the changes......
Since the meeting, Niu Xiaoqiang didn't dare to look at Teacher Li's face, he was afraid of looking at Teacher Li. At this moment, taking advantage of Mr. Li's sigh, Niu Xiaoqiang dared to look at the other party secretly.
