"Thank you, Commander!" Kang Shaonan raised his hand and saluted.
Commander Zuo frowned and waved his hand at him: "Get lost!"
"Commander, then I'm leaving? But I brought two boxes of good tea in the car. It seems you don't need it now. I'm leaving!" Kang Shaonan grinned at Commander Zuo and turned to leave.
"Come back!" Upon hearing this, Commander Zuo called him back.
Kang Shaonan turned around with a chuckle and said, "Commander, do you have anything else to say?"
"Take your report away! And bring me the tea!"
"Yes!" Kang Shaonan turned and walked to the door, opened it, reached out and picked up the tea leaves that had been placed on the ground outside the door, and placed them on the desk of Commander Zuo.
"I say, kid, when people give gifts, they give first and then ask for the favor, but you do it the other way around?" Commander Zuo smiled and took out the tea leaves from the bottle, put them to his nose and sniffed them.
"Commander, demobilization and delivering tea are two different things, don't mess around!"
"Okay! Stop pretending here! By the way, the tea you brought last time was really good!" When Kang Shaonan came back from Uncle Ming's tea garden last time, he brought two bags of tea to Commander Zuo. After taking a sip, he knew that it was top-quality tea.
"Then I'll get you two more packs when I have the chance!"
"Let's talk about it half a year later! Go home and get your wife, because the backward group is still waiting for you!"
"Thank you, Commander. I'm leaving now!" Kang Shaonan saluted again.
"Let's go!"
Since Yu Xiao came to the tea garden, she has been learning about tea from Uncle Ming. How to manage the tea garden, how to identify the various types of tea, the characteristics of each type of tea and the brewing process, Uncle Ming taught Yu Xiao step by step without reservation. As long as she opened her eyes every day, Uncle Ming would never let her have any free time. Because she had something to do, Yu Xiao's attention was diverted by shuttling among the layers of tea trees every day. She took notes seriously every day, followed Uncle Ming, and started to learn bit by bit. After half a month, she also learned it well.
Of course, when Yu Xiao was free, Uncle Ming taught her how to cook. Even simple wild vegetables could be made into a delicious dish. In half a month, Yu Xiao fell deeply in love with everything here.
Today is the first half month since Yu Xiao came to the tea garden. After lunch, Yu Xiao and Uncle Ming sat under the big tree in the yard to learn how to taste tea. Uncle Ming took a piece of red cloth to cover Yu Xiao's eyes and tied a knot behind her head. When he was satisfied, he sat opposite Yu Xiao and started to take out several kinds of tea and brewed them one by one. While brewing, Uncle Ming kept chatting with Yu Xiao about family matters, the output of the tea garden this month, and the interesting things in the tea village. After brewing, he handed the tea to Yu Xiao and looked at her with a smile.
Yu Xiao took the teacup, closed his eyes, let his body completely relax, put it to the tip of his nose and sniffed the aroma of the tea, letting his sense of smell and the tea fragrance completely merge into one, and took a sip. The fragrance instantly went straight to his internal organs.
“West Lake Longjing!”
“Lu’an Guapian!”
"Taiping Houkui!"
"Hanzhong Xianhao!"
“Wuyi cinnamon!”
"… "
Uncle Ming nodded with a satisfied smile: "Not bad! Take off the red cloth! You answered all the questions correctly!"
Hearing Uncle Ming's praise, Yu Xiao happily took off the red cloth and looked at Uncle Ming with some disbelief: "Uncle Ming, did I really answer all of them correctly?"
Uncle Ming smiled and nodded: "Xiaoxiao, you have a very high understanding of tea and a keen sense of smell. It is rare for you to have learned to this level in such a short time. Xiaoxiao, you are great!"
"That's great! Thank you Uncle Ming! If you hadn't taught me step by step, I would definitely not have achieved what I have now!" Yu Xiao was very happy to receive such high praise from Uncle Ming.
"This has to do with your talent! Some things can't be achieved by hard work alone!"
"Uncle Ming, since you said I'm such a good student, why don't you just accept me as your own? I'll just stay here with you from now on!"
Uncle Ming smiled and shook his head. He did not answer Yu Xiao's words. Instead, he put away the tea set and looked at Yu Xiao and said, "Let's go! You have learned well today! Uncle Ming will reward you and take you to a place!" After that, he stood up and walked towards the door.
Yu Xiao quickly followed Uncle Ming's footsteps and asked curiously: "Uncle Ming, where are you taking me?"
“The village primary school!”
"Why are we going there? Isn't today the weekend?" When Yu Xiao heard that they were going to the village primary school, he became even more curious. All the children had gone home this weekend, so what was there to see in a village primary school
"You'll know when you get there!" Uncle Ming didn't explain too much and walked slowly towards the village primary school.
After hearing Uncle Ming's words, Yu Xiao didn't ask any more questions and followed Uncle Ming from the north of the village to the village primary school. Villagers passed by from time to time on the road, and everyone would say a few words to Uncle Ming, and they looked so familiar with each other that it seemed as if Uncle Ming was a member of the village.
The village primary school is the best building in the village. It was built by Uncle Ming a few years ago. It has white walls, red tiles, and green trees. It is a beautiful school. Standing at the school gate, looking at the words "Study hard and make progress every day" written on the walls on both sides of the gate, Yu Xiao suddenly remembered his experience in primary school. Perhaps it was the memories of his childhood that made Yu Xiao feel inexplicably close to the primary school in front of him.
The school gate was open. When Yu Xiao followed Uncle Ming in, he ran into a fifth-grade boy who was walking out with a thermos.
"Hello, Uncle Ming!" Although he was a child from the countryside, he was extremely polite when he saw Uncle Ming.
Uncle Ming smiled and touched the child's head: "What is the teacher doing?"
"The teacher is telling a story!" the child answered truthfully.
"Well, then go and get busy!" Uncle Ming smiled kindly at the child and walked inside.
Watching the student walk away with the thermos, Yu Xiao curiously chased after Uncle Ming and asked, "Uncle Ming, what is this kid doing with the thermos?"
"He came to bring water to the teachers at school!"
"Deliver drinking water? Can't we boil water in school?" Yu Xiao asked in confusion.
“It can boil water!”
"Then why did he bring water to the teacher?"
"Because this teacher burned his feet when he was boiling water before."
"Oh, this teacher is so careless!" Yu Xiao curled her lips, feeling a little unbelievable. But thinking about how an adult could get himself scalded by boiling water, she became even more curious about this teacher.
Uncle Ming smiled when he heard her words, and continued walking forward without saying anything.
The further she walked, the more Yu Xiao heard a voice as clear as a lark coming from a classroom, and she was immediately attracted by the voice.
"Wow! Is she a music teacher? She sings so beautifully! Better than any singer!" Yu Xiao couldn't help but exclaim.
Uncle Ming stopped walking after hearing her words and turned to look at her: "You go check on her! I'll go check on the other classrooms!"
"Great! She won't kick me out, right?" Yu Xiao joked with a smile.
"Don't worry!" Uncle Ming turned and was about to leave.
"Uncle Ming, what's her name?"
"Ask her yourself!" Uncle Ming left without looking back.
Yu Xiao looked at the classroom not far away, hesitated for a moment, and walked to the door of the classroom following the singing. The door of the classroom was slightly closed, and Yu Xiao pushed it open. In front of a brand new piano, sat a female teacher in a blue dress. Her hair was black and long, and it fell softly on both sides of her shoulders. Because she was facing away from the door, Yu Xiao could not see her appearance, but from her beautiful back, she must be a very beautiful girl!
There was only one female student sitting in the large classroom, practicing sentence by sentence with the female teacher. Yu Xiao slowly walked to a place a few meters away, sat down at a desk, and quietly watched everything in front of her.
I was still a little confused. Why did Uncle Ming let me meet this female teacher? Looking at her from behind, apart from being pretty, there shouldn't be anything special about her, right
The teacher taught for another half an hour before stopping. He slowly turned around and smiled at the student: "That's all for today! We have guests coming today, so you can go home first!"
The female student stood up, walked to the female teacher, picked up a water cup from a small stool next to her, and handed it to the female teacher: "Teacher, I will leave after you finish drinking the water!"
The female teacher smiled and didn't hesitate. She took the cup of water, drank a few sips, and then handed it to the female student.
Yu Xiao sat quietly. The moment the female teacher turned around, she found a large scar on her face. What was even more unbelievable was that her beautiful big eyes could not find any focus.
This teacher is actually blind!
Thinking of the student carrying the thermos bottle, Yu Xiao was instantly moved by the scene before her. She sat quietly on the chair for a while, not knowing how to greet her.
The female student put the cup away and then said goodbye to the teacher. She bowed politely when passing by Yu Xiao before leaving.
In the huge classroom, only Yu Xiao and the female teacher were left. Yu Xiao looked at the female teacher, who was walking towards her very accurately even though she couldn't see. She couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
"Hello!" The female teacher suddenly stopped one step away from her, groped her way to sit down on the chair next to her, looked in the direction of Yu Xiao and greeted her with a smile.
"Hello... hello!" Yu Xiao looked at her nervously and found that although she had scars on her face, she was actually very beautiful, especially her big eyes, which seemed to have been seen somewhere before.
"Can you tell me who brought you here?" The female teacher's voice was very nice and the smile on her face was as gentle as the spring sunshine. Yu Xiao fell in love with her instantly.
"It's Uncle Ming!" Yu Xiao answered truthfully.
"Really? Then you are Xiaoxiao?" The female teacher asked her with a smile when she heard Uncle Ming's name.
Hearing her say her name directly, Yu Xiao was a little surprised: "How do you know my name?" (To be continued)
