Chapter 275: Riding the Wind and Breaking the Waves
Although Huai En, who I did not agree to, went to her school to listen to her lectures, she obviously did not give up the idea of letting me be her student, so she moved the classroom into my yard.
It was the afternoon of the third day after she had dinner at my house, and I was still busy with my work in the yard. The canoe had been built by me, and I was doing the final sanding and painting.
I heard the laughter of a group of children from a distance, and when I was still wondering why so many children passed by at this time, the door of my courtyard was opened.
After that, I was stunned by the sight in front of me.I saw Huai En led a class of children into my yard. Each child held a small drawing board and drawing paper in their hands. In addition, each child also held a small plastic stool in their hands. .
This group of children seems to be students in the second and third grades, and their faces are full of excitement. They probably have never encountered such a teacher in class. Needless to say, they are happy, chirping like a group of little sparrows in a meeting .
"Ms. Fang, what are you..." I pulled her aside and asked in confusion.
"This is my art class. I want to take them to a special class so that they can get close to nature and draw some natural things!" Huai En explained to me with a smile.
"You don't need to bring the children to me to get close to nature. What kind of nature is here?" I stared at her.
"You have all kinds of plants here, isn't it the best material? Is there any place more suitable for children to draw than your yard?" She reached out her hand and pointed to my yard indifferently, not caring what I revealed displeasure.
I was speechless!
"What? You don't want to? Or do you not like children?" she asked.
"It's not that I don't want to, and it's not that I don't like children! It's just..." I paused. "It's just that my yard is full of vegetables, how can there be so much open space for you to teach!"
"You are afraid that the children will ruin your dishes!" Huai En looked at me meaningfully, and explained my little thoughts with one word.
I have to admit, that's what I thought. I planted these things with great effort. How could this group of hairy kids manage themselves? Naturally, I feel sorry for ruining my vegetable field.
"Don't worry! I have already told them before I came here, don't mess with the plants and trees here, they have agreed, so I will bring them here." After finishing speaking, he motioned me to watch the group of children .
"Look at how well-behaved they are, I told them to stand still, can any of them move around?"
I looked around, and it was exactly as she said, thirty or forty children stood in two rows at the gate of the courtyard and looked around strangely. Although they chattered endlessly, none of them ran around undisciplined.
Only then did I calm down a little bit, and said helplessly to her: "It's all here, it's up to you, but it's best not to have a next time..."
Huai En was overjoyed when he heard the words, and before I could finish speaking, he said, I got it, I got it, and went to organize the children.Looking at her like this, I dare to assert that there will definitely be a next time.
She arranged a group of children in various gaps in the yard in an orderly manner, asked them to draw the things in front of them, and repeatedly emphasized that the plants in the yard should not be damaged.Then he explained to them the skills of painting, how to pay attention to the characteristics of observing things, how to pay attention to the proportion of things and so on.I really doubt that this group of teenagers can understand what she means.
I sighed and didn't have the mood to work anymore. I dropped the paint bucket in my hand and lay helplessly on the bench under the awning looking at the scene in front of me. I always felt that my courtyard would never be quiet from now on.
Seeing the bitter look on my face, Huai En came over to me and said, "Uncle, do you want to learn to draw too?" Then he handed me the drawing board in his hand.
"Not interested!" I pretended to be cold, closed my eyes and tilted my head to one side.
Huai En chuckled and ignored me, and sat down at the stone table.I squinted and glanced at her, only to see a faint smile on her face, drawing on the drawing board with a brush, and looking up at me from time to time, I think this girl is probably giving me It's time for a picture.I didn't bother to talk to her, just closed my eyes and rested.
Unexpectedly, after this rest, she actually fell asleep staring dazedly.When I was disturbed by a bee, I found that the yard had become empty, and the group of children and Huai Enju were gone.
I think it's probably because I've slept for a while, but I'm curious that their departure didn't wake me up. It seems that it's probably because Huai En specially instructed the children not to make loud noises.
I sat up and saw a piece of paper on the stone table. On the paper, I drew a sketch with a pencil. As expected, it was me. Although it was just a simple line, it was vividly drawn, depicting my peaceful sleeping state. It is enough to see Huai En's talent for painting, not only is he good at oil painting, but also has a solid foundation in sketching, which makes me admire him deeply.
In the lower right corner of the portrait, there is also a line of beautiful handwriting written in pencil: "Seeing that you are sleeping peacefully, I have no intention of waking you up. I will take the children and leave first. I will come back later to thank you for lending me the yard. I picked a few bunches of grapes without your consent." Satisfy the child's hunger, and thank you when I have time!" She also drew a cute smiling face behind the handwriting.Her innocent and lovely face appeared unconsciously in my mind, and I couldn't help grinning silently.
A few days later, my canoe was finally built by me, and the coffin could no longer be seen.Seeing that after more than a month of labor, I have made a piece of log look good, I can't help but make me very happy. I have fully understood Thoreau's romantic feelings so far.
I found a flatbed truck from the factory and prepared to transport the canoe to the seaside. Huai En came again at this moment.
After seeing my work again, she couldn't help exclaiming: "Uncle, this is so beautiful, is it going to go into the water?"
I nodded, just as I was about to go out, Huai En stopped me again.
"Uncle, wait!" She circled around the canoe, wondering, "Doesn't it have a name? Doesn't every boat have its own name? How can it have no name?"
I couldn't help laughing, this girl really has a clear mind, such a small boat is worth bothering to choose a name?
I didn't want to spoil her interest either, so I smiled and said to her, "Why don't you give it a name?"
Huai En's brows were filled with joy when he heard the words, and he took out a paintbrush from his small bag and solemnly wrote on the front of the canoe: "Ride the Wind and Break the Waves".
"Riding the Wind and Breaking the Waves?" I thought about the imposing name in my heart and asked, "Why Riding the Wind and Breaking the Waves?"
"Riding the Wind and Waves is my expectation for you. I hope you will forget the past as soon as possible and find your dream. Start with this Ride the Wind and Waves. I hope, uncle, you can ride this Ride the Wind and Break the Waves to find your dream!" She looked at Me, said to me in an old-fashioned tone.
Seeing her serious face made me smile, riding the wind and breaking the waves?I looked at the wood that was less than two meters long and had its core hollowed out, and I was really not sure!
Huai En and I towed the Riding the Wind and the Waves to the pier with a trailer, and carefully got it into the water.
I just wanted to go up and try it, but I didn't expect Huai En to also get interested, and I climbed onto the canoe first, I had no choice but to follow her.
Huai En and I each held a paddle and carefully rowed the canoe into the sea.Floating on the sea in a small boat built by myself, the great joy that rises in my heart is impossible for others to experience.
When the canoe drifted steadily to the deep-water port where I often come to fish, Huai En and I gradually relaxed our nervousness. We looked at each other and smiled happily. I almost forgot the last time I When did you laugh from the heart like this?
However, what I didn't expect was that our emotions had just relaxed, and what happened immediately made me dumbfounded.
Just when Huai En and I paddled the canoe into the deep water area, a gust of wind suddenly blew on the sea. Although the wind was not strong, the waves that swelled with the wind were not too big, but since the canoe was originally a round Made of wood, the boat is slender and not very stable, and the center of gravity will be a little unstable when the sea surface is slightly swelled.
When the waves passed by the boat, the boat shook violently. This sway made Huai En scream out suddenly, and dropped the oars and grabbed the side of the boat, but before the boat stabilized, the second wave came again, this time The waves were even bigger, and the canoe swayed a few times and overturned, and Huai En and I were immediately overturned into the sea.
Huai En didn't even have time to cry out before falling into the sea water.I was shocked immediately, thinking that this girl is probably not good at swimming.Fortunately, she was not far away from me, so I dived into the water and pulled Huai En out of the sea.
The moment she came out of the water, she hastily brushed her face with her hand, then opened her mouth and coughed violently, obviously choking heavily, she must have drank a lot of sea water.
Seeing Huai En's uncomfortable appearance, I suddenly remembered that dark night many years ago. There was a woman who looked like this. Seeing Huai En's tightly closed eyes and coughing violently, I suddenly felt a bit of sadness in my heart.
I didn't have time to think about it, and I didn't care whether the canoe would drift into the sea. I grabbed Huai En's waist and lifted her body out of the sea as much as possible. I checked the direction and swam towards the pier with all my strength.
Huai En opened his eyes after recovering from his breath, and saw that he had been picked up by me, and put his arms around my neck.Since she just choked on the water, she said to me vaguely: "Uncle, we...will we die?"
I felt an inexplicable pain in my heart, and secretly regretted that I hadn't prevented her from getting on the canoe. Although I could have rescued her, she would inevitably be frightened.
"No, Huai En, we are almost reaching the shore, don't worry we will be fine!" I comforted her while paddling vigorously.
When I swam to the shore with Huai En, I was a little exhausted, and Huai En was not much better. Although she was attached to me the whole time, she was already trembling from the shock.
When the two of us finally sat on the pier soaked wet, panting and looking at each other for a moment, we both burst out laughing.
Huai En laughed and beat my body and said weakly: "Uncle, what kind of broken ship are you? It capsized so easily!"
When I heard this, I suddenly remembered the name she gave to this ship, Riding the Wind and Breaking the Waves!
I looked at her and tried my best not to laugh and said, "My ship is called Riding the Wind and Waves!" After I finished speaking, I couldn't help it anymore, and laughed again, which almost made us both out of breath.
After I lay on the pier and recovered a bit, I got up and sat up, looked at Huai En who was still lying beside me, and stretched out my hand to pull her up.It was only then that Huai En, who was wearing a long silk dress, became almost transparent due to the wet clothes sticking to the skin, and the patterns of her underwear were clearly visible.
I hurriedly turned my eyes away from her, Huai En also found something wrong with me from my eyes, looked down at my clothes, and was suddenly embarrassed, her pretty face flushed instantly, and turned around to tidy herself up clothes.
But the clothes are already soaked, so how can I tidy them up? This turn around of her undoubtedly showed the curve of her back in front of me.
It was only then that I discovered that Huai En's figure is actually quite good, but I have always treated her as a little girl before, and I didn't realize this.
In fact, she is already a mature big girl, with tall breasts, plump buttocks and upturned buttocks. Especially at this moment, her long skirt is completely close to her body, which can highlight her perfect figure. The little underwear in the gauze skirt The inner lines are clearly visible, but just a glance made me blush.
Seeing her embarrassment, I untied my shirt and put it on her body and said, "You go home first, I'll drag the canoe back!"
After finishing speaking, he stopped looking at her, turned around and went down to the beach.
"Hey, how can I go back like this?" She stood on the pier and yelled at me.
I looked back at her and sighed helplessly. Her appearance was really unsuitable for people to see, so I said: "You go to my house first, my house is relatively close, and there is no one outside at this time, you can find a piece of my clothes to change Go, and then go back to school! The key is hanging on the post on the right side of the arbor!" Without waiting for her to reply, she untied the bamboo raft tied to the water's edge, and chased the canoe that was about to float out of the bay with the long poles.
