My village can't be like this

Chapter 720 The final madness
After arriving in the county town, Su Ying would follow other teachers to the students' accommodation so that if there were any problems, they could help solve them in time.

Only Xiao Siqi and Zhang An were left. After Su Ying and the others were settled, they drove to their grandmother's house.

Xiao Siqi didn't feel reluctant to leave Su Ying at all.

When Su Ying was on vacation at home a few days ago, he was not as happy as when Su Ying was very busy before.

If he was too naughty at home, Su Ying would criticize him. If he played on the floor, she would scold him. If he ate too many snacks, she would scold him.

So he found that he seemed to be happier when his mother was not around.

When they arrived at the family compound, Wu Qiuping and Su Shaowen had not yet finished get off work, but Zhang An had his own set of keys, so he went into the house with his son.

As soon as little Siqi entered the house, he ran to the balcony, because the two birds raised by Su Shaowen were placed there. The little guy would go and play with them every time he came. Just by looking at the way he fed the two birds, you could tell that he was already very skilled at it.

Zhang An is very relieved about his son because little Siqi is not like other children who do not know the consequences when hurting animals. Instead, he is very caring for them. It is probably because there are too many animals at home and he has developed the habit of caring for animals.

Although the two birds hadn't seen little Siqi for a while, they obviously had not forgotten this young master. They kept chirping and jumping around in the birdcage.

"Dad, take the sparrow down."

The little guy wanted to let the two little orioles out of the birdcage to play, but he couldn't reach them by himself, so he had to ask Zhang An for help.

"Okay, okay, I'll get it for you right away."

Zhang An did not refuse his son. He walked over and put the birdcage within little Siqi's reach.

When little Siqi saw that he could reach them, he immediately opened the door of the cage and let the two little ones out.

The two little orioles had long been tamed by Zhang An and were very sensible. In addition, Su Shaowen had already raised them well, so they would not fly away even if they were not kept in a birdcage.

On weekdays, when Su Shaowen is at home, he doesn't keep them in cages all the time, but puts them outside. There is a hanging rod on the balcony, which is specially made for them so that they can stand on it.

When Su Shaowen went downstairs to walk the birds, he didn't bring a cage. The two little guys sometimes flew around him, and sometimes stood on his shoulders or hands, making the uncles around him very envious. They had long wanted Zhang An to help them tame the two birds, but Zhang An had never agreed.

After all, getting two puppies for the father-in-law to show filial piety is not a big problem, but if you promise others that you will have two after the first one, that would be wrong.

The reason why Su Shaowen keeps them in cages when he is not at home is for their safety.

Firstly, the environment is pretty good now. Even in the county town, you can often see aggressive birds of prey such as eagles. Also, there are cats in the family compound. No one knows whether they will sneak onto the balcony.

Cats have always been the natural enemies of birds. If one of them runs in, those two little guys will be in trouble.

The two little yellow orioles that were placed outside the cage stood on little Siqi's shoulders, one on the left and one on the right, chirping, waiting for their little master to take out bird food to feed them.

"Qiqi, they can't eat much. Don't feed them too much, or they will get sick."

Zhang An was worried that his son would not be able to stop feeding the little tigers like he did at home, so he began to give him some advice.

“Oh, I won’t feed them.”

When the little guy heard what his father said, he immediately stopped feeding the two birds.

The two birds were not hungry. When they saw that there was no food, they flew up and played with Xiao Siqi. For a while, the balcony was filled with his hearty laughter and the chirping of the two birds.

Seeing that it was almost time, Wu Qiuping and Su Shaowen should be going to work soon, Zhang An began to prepare dinner.

Just now on his way here, he bought some fresh pork and beef when he passed by the vegetable market.

He didn't need to buy vegetables, he grew a lot of them in his space and filled his refrigerator directly.

When Wu Qiuping got home from get off work and opened the door, she found her grandson playing with the bird. She immediately shouted in surprise, "Oh, we are all here. Come to grandma quickly."

Wu Qiuping dotes on her younger grandson much more than her older grandson who lives in the provincial capital.

After all, little Siqi is right under the eyes of the two elders. Whenever they miss him, they can go and visit him for a few days.

But the same cannot be said for my eldest grandson. The provincial capital is quite far away and it is inconvenient to travel back and forth. I can only see him a few days during the Chinese New Year in a year.

Before little Siqi came into being, Wu Qiuping would talk about him every few days, but now that she has a little grandson, Wu Qiuping has gotten used to it.

"grandmother."

The little guy also missed his grandmother and immediately threw himself into Wu Qiuping's arms.

"Tell grandma if it was your dad who brought you here, or your mom."

Wu Qiuping gently smoothed the hair on her grandson's forehead and asked lovingly.

"My father and I came here. My mother is taking an exam."

Xiao Siqi said she was not sure whether Su Ying went to accompany her students to take the exam, so she could only say that her mother went to take the exam.

However, Wu Qiuping could understand what her grandson said, because the county town was such a small place, and they could not have been unaware of such important events as the junior high school entrance examination and the college entrance examination.

"Mom, you're off work, so let's eat when Dad comes back."

Zhang An prepared the meal and brought it out from the lunch box. He looked at the old man and the child in front of him and said.

"Every time Xiao An comes, your father and I can enjoy ourselves."

Wu Qiuping was very happy. She couldn't be more satisfied with her son-in-law.

After a while, Su Shaowen came back and the family started to eat happily.

Originally, the two elders wanted to call their daughter to come over, but Su Ying was already eating with her students.

After dinner, Su Shaowen did not go out to walk the bird as usual, but stayed at home playing with his grandson Xiao Siqi. This is the real family happiness.

The next day, after Su Shaowen and Wu Qiuping went out to work, Zhang An started to make ice jelly at home.

The weather has been very hot these past two days, and this is prepared for the students in the village so that they can cool off and be in better condition during the exams.

Moreover, the ice jelly is made with space spring water, which can help people refresh themselves better.

Originally, Zhang An only wanted to prepare it for Zhang Tie and his brothers and sisters, but when he thought about the other children, most of them were from the village, special treatment would definitely not be possible.

Besides, not only one sheep needs to be herded, but also a flock of sheep, so Zhang An simply goes all out and makes a few pots so that the children of Changqing Middle School can have a taste, since they are all his wife's students after all.

Wu Qiuping has a very large thermos at home. It was bought for making tea when Zhang An and Su Ying got engaged. After Zhang An and Su Ying got married, this thing has been idle.

Now is the perfect time. Zhang An dug it out and put it to use. It can hold a few pots of ice jelly.

Su Ying was accompanying her son to take the exam at No. 1 Middle School, so Zhang An came over directly. No. 1 Middle School was in the city, not very far away, so Zhang An parked the car a little further away and walked over with his son.

Otherwise, after the exam, there will be so many people stuck on the road that no vehicle can get out at all.

When I came here, I found that there were quite a few people waiting at the door. They were all parents from the city who came to accompany their children to take the exam.

Little Siqi had never seen so many people since he was a child, and he grabbed his parents nervously.

It was not until half past eleven that the first exam was over and the students came out of the examination room.

Su Ying and two other teachers were already waiting at the designated place. This was the gathering place that had been decided in advance. Students would gather here after their exams and then go out to eat together.

After a while, Zhang Tie, Zhang Xing and Zhang Yu came out together. They had said privately that they would wait downstairs in the teaching building after the exam and come out together.

Seeing that Xiao Siqi was also here, they, as uncle and aunt, directly snatched their little nephew from his sister-in-law.

The little guy was also very close to them and was immediately amused.

Ten minutes later, all the candidates from Changqing Middle School who were assigned here had gathered.

The two teachers took their students to the place that had been arranged in advance to take the bus.

The school had already agreed on three buses, because the students of Changqing Middle School were divided into three examination rooms, and the number of students was surprisingly similar.

The task of these buses is very simple. They only need to pick up and drop off students to the examination venues and accommodation on time, and only four times a day.

The money for chartering the bus was not borne by the students, but by the school itself, which is already higher than most rural schools.

Take Hongyan Town Middle School for example, their arrangement is actually similar to that of Changqing Village, but the money for chartering the bus is paid by the students themselves.

Moreover, we only did the chartered car thing after seeing Changqing Middle School doing it. In previous years, students would go back by themselves after the exams.

The other two teachers took the students back on the bus, while Zhang Tie and the other two went with Zhang An.

Su Ying sat in the passenger seat, and little Siqi was held by her uncle and aunt in the back seat.

When we arrived at the accommodation, people from the other two examination halls had already arrived.

The accommodation the school found this time is a hotel in the county town. It is not large, but large enough to accommodate the students of Changqing Middle School. The price is not expensive, and meals are also served in the hotel. There are exactly nine tables for teachers and students, which is very convenient.

While eating, Zhang An took the ice jelly out of the car.

In fact, before this, he had placed the bucket of ice powder in the space so that the ice inside would not melt. Finally, he found an excuse and said that he took it out from the trunk.

When they heard it was ice jelly, all the students were very happy. Having a bowl of it in such hot weather is so refreshing.

The hotel staff were nice and generous enough to provide everyone with an extra empty bowl.

"Alright, alright, stop making a fuss. Those who have finished their meals can come over and get one. Those who haven't finished their meals can rest assured. Everyone has a portion. Just finish your meal slowly."

Seeing the happy faces of the students, Zhang An himself was also infected, and several other teachers hurried to help calm the situation.

The students were very sensible. They came over with their bowls, smiling and saying, "Thank you, Master."

Zhang An smiled and said to them: "Everyone study hard, not only will you get it today, I will also give it to you tomorrow."

Everyone had a bowl, including the teachers.

Watching the students eating with relish, Zhang An thought, isn't this much better than the mineral water he bought with money?

After lunch break, everyone continued to prepare for the next exam.

It took three consecutive days to finish all the subjects.

But God did not give us face. On the afternoon of the third day, it started to rain. Although it was not heavy, it was not light either.

Because there was no sign of rain in the previous few days, few people came with umbrellas, and the children who had just come out of the examination room were also a little dazed.

However, this does not have a big impact on them because they are not like the students in the city.

As rural children, none of them had never been caught in the rain, so when the candidates from other schools were stagnant under the teaching building, they cheered and ran together in the rain.

People are most afraid of someone taking the lead. When they did this, those students in the teaching building who were originally worried about getting wet in the rain suddenly rushed out cheering, experiencing this final madness.

For these city kids, this was an experience they had never had before.

The teachers waiting outside the school were already anxious, and it was simply unrealistic for them to buy umbrellas now because they were expensive and they couldn't buy that many.

In the end, Zhang An found an excuse and took out a bunch of plastic bags from the space.

This thing is very big, about one meter long and fifty centimeters wide. It was something that their family had used to pick cherries but had not used up, and now it comes in handy.

After all, every rural child has worn a raincoat made of this thing.

Just when Su Ying and her friends were about to deliver these makeshift raincoats into the school, they found that their students had already run out in the rain.

Seeing the students dripping with water all over their bodies, several teachers suddenly felt that their blood pressure could no longer be controlled.

So they were called together, and several teachers distributed raincoats to them while scolding them continuously.

Although this group of students pretended to be good kids when being criticized by the teacher, they could not hide the joy on their faces.

"Alright, alright. There's no point in saying anything more now. Their health isn't that bad. I'll go back and ask the hotel to boil some ginger water for them to drink."

Zhang An knew what the teachers were worried about. They were afraid that the little ones would catch a cold after getting caught in the rain, and they would not be able to explain to the students’ parents when they returned.

However, Zhang An felt that everyone was overthinking it. The physical fitness of these students was much better than they thought.

Moreover, nowadays, catching a cold is not a big deal for most people, and they can heal on their own without even taking any pills.

At the same time, waves of parents' blaming voices came from the gate of No. 1 Middle School. They were all parents from the city educating their children.

Those unfortunate guys found it quite fun to go crazy for a while, but now facing their own parents, it seems that it is no longer fun.

After returning to the residence to pack up, a teacher went to the hotel to discuss boiling a pot of ginger water.

They agreed very readily. After all, they wanted to leave a good impression so that they could do the business again next year.
