C71 Thoughts

At night, Takeu-jen was reading at the table. The light from the roof beam shone on her body, causing her petite figure to cast a tall shadow on the bamboo wall.

Between the roof of the hanging bamboo building and the wall, there was an open balcony. Tao Huizhen inadvertently looked over and saw that the tea village outside was completely dark. Tonight was a New Moon Night.

Qiuhe carefully walked up from the side staircase. She was holding a basin. Tao Huizhen saw that the basin was filled with clear water.

"You've traveled so much during the day, why haven't you rested yet? Be careful to rest. " Tao Huizhen subconsciously lowered her head and looked at the foot of Autumn Lotus. Fortunately, she wore shoes this time.

"It's fine, Teacher. When I entered the city today, I bought some shampoo. " Qiuhe placed a basin of water on the bamboo chair and her gaze fell on Tao Huizhen's hair. Her hair should have been uncut for three years, and it had grown quite long.

In her three years of teaching in Tea Village, Tao Huizhen's changes were obvious. But what changed more was not the length of her hair, but the length of her hair. Instead, she felt that she was more like a teacher, in short, She became more like a teacher. Sometimes, in the dead of night, she sat by the bed, flipping through books or correcting her students' homework. She often had that feeling. It was as if she had reached the age of forty. At that time, she thought about what she had left behind in her life, and the answer was that it was her student. She felt that this was all she had left.

She also cast her gaze behind Qiu He and landed on her black and healthy long hair. She nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, that's right. As a girl, it's time to take good care of her hair. It's not a big deal to always wash it with clear water. "

"Teacher, I want to wash your hair. "

Tao Huizhen put down the book in her hand and looked straight at Qiuhe. "What did you say?" She was clearly stunned.

"I want to wash your hair. " Qiu He repeated.

"Wash my hair. . . "

Only then did Tao Huizhen understand why Qiu He had come to her room. Her doubts about the basin of clear water were also solved. Without much thought, she immediately thought of it. These days, she had been thinking of ways to help the official competition of Qiuhe. And she had been putting it into action. Today, when they went to the county town and she sold the platinum necklace around her neck, Qiuhe looked from afar. She pursed her lips tightly. That expression was not of pain. But not happy. In order to reduce the suffering of Qiuhe and the other children, she did her best to complete the transaction as quickly as possible. As for the matter of selling the necklace that had accompanied her for more than five years, Although it wasn't very sad, it was definitely a bad idea. If she had other things that she could sell, she would rather keep the necklace for a few more days. There was no need to talk about the past. She always felt that this matter was done very well. If it could really become an autumn lotus, That would be too worth it. Speaking of which, Qiuhe brought a basin to wash her hair tonight. The source of the search probably came from this as well. This must have been a decision she had made long ago after thinking about it, so she had even bought shampoo in advance. She was full of sincerity. Tao Huizhen felt flattered. She hurriedly shook her hands and said, "Ah? Wash my hair? I just washed it yesterday. Sigh, there's really no need. Qiuhe, wash it yourself. "

At this moment, Tao Huizhen seemed to have returned to the era of students. Her bright red cheeks became even redder, revealing the side that she was not good at rejecting. With her like this, there was a huge difference between her and her who stood in the field of learning knowledge.

Qiuhe said, "I specially bought shampoo for Teacher. "

"Isn't it the same for you? I don't need to wash it. "

"Why don't you need to wash? My hair is very black, and your hair is dry. Just let me wash it for you. Let me do something for you. Teacher. "

Tao Huizhen saw the sincerity in Qiuhe's eyes and knew that no matter how much she refused, she wouldn't be able to convince her. The Qiuhe that she knew was just like that. Once she made some sort of resolution, she would not turn back until she hit the southern wall. She wanted to use the method of washing her teacher's hair to express her feelings to her teacher. In fact, she had such intentions. Tao Huizhen had already understood it a long time ago.

She spread her hair and combed it. She placed it in her palm and opened it to size it up. It was indeed as Qiu He had observed. It was softer than before. Her hair was now very yellow. This was because she rarely took care of her hair. She spent most of her time on Big Tea Village Primary School. It wasn't that she couldn't even squeeze out enough time to take care of her hair, once a person put in too much effort in certain areas. He would always ignore some other aspects, and his energy was definitely not unlimited. In general, it was impossible for a person to take care of everything.

"His hair quality is quite bad. " Tao Huizhen spoke in a relaxed tone, as if her hair wasn't hers. She asked, "How do you do it?"

Qiu He let Tao Huizhen bend over and hang her hair on the basin.

She began to wash her hair and very carefully followed the steps. The first step was to soak in the water and apply the shampoo.

The second step was to rub the foam of the shampoo with her hair, allowing her hair to fully absorb the nutrients in the shampoo.

Next was to massage his scalp, allowing the shampoo and scalp to fully dissolve. This was the third step.

The last step was to rinse it clean with water.

Among all the steps, the most time-consuming was the third step.

Tao Huizhen told Qiuhe that during this period of time, she would find a way to find out where there was a small-scale dance activity. It would be best not to be too far away from our village.

When the third step was completed, Tao Huizhen lowered her head and felt that Qiuhe was very good at washing her hair. She had never washed it so thoroughly before. Qiuhe rubbed her hair with her fingers. She said, Teacher doesn't want anything in return. Even if it was just washing her hair, her teacher didn't need it. But to say that she was truly a perfect person? No. That wasn't the case.

Tao Huizhen and Qiu He frankly said that these children of the Great Tea Village included Qiu He herself. They already bore all of her Tao Huizhen's wishes - - your future will be my best reward. Tao Huizhen expressed it in such a way.

Even after the last step of washing her hair ended, Qiuhe didn't say anything. She silently washed her hair. Tao Huizhen waited for her to wipe her hair. Qiu He didn't move. A liquid that was warmer than warm water dripped onto Tao Huizhen's hair. She immediately sensed something. Then, even more concentrated and scalding liquid dripped down. She guessed that Qiuhe was crying. She turned her face and saw that Qiuhe was staring at her neck with tears streaming down her face.

The soundless crying gradually turned into crying. Qiuhe had been under a lot of pressure lately. Her emotions surged, bubbled, and whimpered in the trachea, forming a vague sound that came out of her mouth. She connected the shallow mark on Tao Huizhen's neck to the scene of her selling the necklace. She couldn't help but cry. She could see that. . . Selling the necklace was obviously not Tao Huizhen's sudden idea. That should be the result of Tao Huizhen considering it for a long time. When did this idea start? She also did not know. Although this was not the only reason why the strong Qiu He cried out involuntarily, It was the "last straw that broke the camel's back. "

Tao Huizhen's hair was yellow and yellow in her hand.

Her sobbing became even more intense. Her tongue stuck firmly to her upper jaw, and she swallowed her tears to speak her heart. "Teacher, I don't understand how to express my gratitude. All this while. . . I just wanted to wash my teacher's hair properly. I, I finally washed my hair. "

"I know. " Tao Huizhen suddenly swallowed the salty water from where she had poured it into her mouth. She stared into Qiuhe's eyes. Her eyes were also gradually turning red. "The feeling of receiving favors from others won't be that good, so we have to become stronger ourselves. Time and time again. You and me. . . Yu'er and the others are the same. We are indebted to this era. "

Tao Huizhen said as such.
