I first picked up Teacher Gu and sent her to the village. The class here was about to end. If the two villages hadn't started at the same time, Hu Yuanhu would have been able to pick up Teacher Gu.

On the way, Teacher Gu and I discussed whether we should go for a run, but Teacher Gu said no.

"Xiao Li, I really wanted to run when we had no training and were not famous. I won't run now. We will be too busy. We can't expand at this time. There are only so many projects here. Now we have started training for next year.

Now, we have to ensure that we are shortlisted in the tenders for Shule and Shufu. After New Year’s Day, it is the time when farmers have the least time. At that time, local training will not be busy. Forget about distant counties, we will talk about it later.”

We currently have a cooperative relationship with about 20 teachers, but the full staff is only four or five people. If the scale is large, we are worried that there will be nothing to do and no money will be made. If the scale is small, we will occasionally be too busy. Therefore, I agree with Teacher Gu’s idea.

, lay a solid foundation and then talk about development. After all, we only did a few trainings when we were newly established.

When I arrived in the countryside, I looked around first and helped with the roll call. Then there was basically nothing to do. I sat under the woods and contacted Leng Jiayue.

"Is it true that you know what happened to Hua Wen?" I sent a message to ask her, but I didn't receive a reply for a long time. My phone vibrated. It was Judy calling.

"Mr. Li, I will assist you with the procedures for going abroad. Either you join our company and get a visa through the internal business trip process. Or I will send you an invitation letter, but in that case you will need to apply for the visa yourself." Judy's refreshing voice

spread out.

It was obviously arranged by Leng Jiayue. She didn't reply to my messages, but she had already begun to instigate my going abroad.

"Send invitations." I said.

Ten minutes later, I received a photo of the invitation letter. In order to comply with the regulations, Judy said that a letter was actually sent from the United States and arrived at my home in Shanghai about two weeks later.

This is something I didn't expect. Do I really want to go to the United States? Is Hua Wen really in the United States? Otherwise, why would Leng Jiayue want me to go to the United States?

I called Chen Yan and asked him if he had received the mutton.

"Lao Li, are you suffering from dementia early? You told me that you would arrive at night, and it's only morning. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly, and don't make other excuses to clear the way."

I briefly talked about Leng Jiayue's wish for me to go to the United States, but I didn't explain why. I asked Chen Yan what he thought about this matter.

"Go, America is still a very fun place, just treat it as a tourist. Leng Jiayue will probably arrange some itineraries, and you won't spend much money."

At that moment, I said to myself, I am going to find Hua Wen and find out what happened to her to stop contacting me.

In order to help myself make up my mind, I sent another message to Leng Jiayue: 'Thank you, I want to know which city I should fly to.' This was asking which city Leng Jiayue wanted me to land in, making it clear that I would go.

America once.

After that, there was still no reply from Leng Jiayue, so I was confused. Both of them ignored me. It doesn't matter, I'll see for myself. The United States is so big, so just find a city with direct flights from Shanghai and go there.

It’s strange that once I decided to go to the United States, I felt unsure. I didn’t know whether it was fear or excitement. When I walked into the classroom and watched the students in class, I felt a little anxious inside. That is to say, during this half of the morning, I

It's like he's lost his mind.

"Chen Yan, what should I prepare if I go to the United States? What clothes should I wear? Tell me." Feeling the anxiety in my heart, I calmed down and called Chen Yan.

"Old Li, have you really never been to the United States? The United States is just like China at this time. It can be hot or cold. What you wear depends on where you go. You don't need to prepare anything. If you have money, it doesn't matter." Chen Yan

Said in an understatement.

Chen Yan has been to the United States probably five or six times, but I have never been to Europe or the United States.

"Old Li, you must be anxious. You have traveled all over the world. Why have you become so timid today? I won't talk about you anymore. Regardless of whether you can find Hua Wen or not, remember to have a good time." After that,

Chen Yan said he wanted to go swimming.

Thinking about it, it's probably because I haven't heard from Hua Wen for so long. I don't know if going this time can solve the confusion that I've had for several months. I decided not to think about this problem for now and think about the United States again when I apply for a visa.

thing.

I walked to the bazaar alone. This street has just been repaired. There are new brick houses on both sides. Most of the shops facing the street are not open. You can see through the glass that they are rough houses.

There was a place in the distance with a few people gathered around. It seemed to be the only lively place now. I walked over and took a look, and it turned out that it was a carpenter making various utensils, wooden spoons, wooden bowls, and wooden plates.

None of the craftsmen or the onlookers spoke Mandarin. They pointed at a dark-colored wooden bowl that had just been made and said it was mahogany. They pointed at another one and made a gesture of eating it in their mouths and said it was a horizontal bar. I have already pronounced this pronunciation.

I became more familiar with it, and he was talking about apricot wood. I took the peach wood bowl, and the boss said it was fifty yuan. I didn't counter-offer, and just gave it to me. It's not easy for these people.

I actually thought of an interesting thing when I bought a peach wood bowl. It is said that peach wood can ward off evil spirits, so I thought about putting one in my house. Seeing how happy I was, the boss gave me a few wooden spoons.

Then the boss showed me another skill of his. He gestured and said that he could carve my face on the poplar board. He took out several completed products and I understood what he was talking about. It was a bit like bas-relief or printmaking.

, the boss will first use a pencil to roughly draw the outline of the face, and then use a carving knife and a hand drill to carve out the concavities and convexities.

I shook my head, feeling that his handiwork was still a bit rough. As I was looking at it, I heard Teacher Maimaiti’s voice.

"Principal Li, why are you here? This carpenter can make anything, including furniture, small things, and things at home. There will be a carpentry class here in a few days, and he will be the teacher. It has been agreed that he will teach

The students made a bed, a cabinet, a coffee table and these bowls and spoons.”

"What a coincidence. I didn't know he was a teacher. Can the things made by the students be sold?"

"I don't know, I thought the students were not good at it, so the set of furniture I made this time was for the home of a man who was getting married. He happened to be a student. As for the wood, he brought some of it himself and the school bought some.

, he takes away whatever he makes."

Only then did I realize that it was considered a practical training, and whatever I made would be taken away regardless of whether it was good or bad. This required some courage, because I didn’t think this carpenter could make very good furniture.

Teacher Maimaiti saw the wooden bowl in my hand, asked the boss a few questions, and then took fifty yuan and wanted to return it to me. Of course I didn't accept it, but said to Teacher Maimaiti: "I bought this."

, when I look back and think of asking him to make something, he will make something for me for free at that time.”

Having said that, I have no plans to make another craft.

"He can also make musical instruments. Let me tell him to make a hot wapu for you." Teacher Maimaiti decided to make a hot wapu for me. I want a hot wapu.
