On the first day of December, the bitter mountains of early winter were covered with a thick fog, and from a distance, the milky white fog looked like a thick layer of snow covering the mountains.

Lin Ping packed his luggage and stood in front of the window waiting for Wang Hongwen's arrival.

He stayed up all night, both reluctant to leave the bitter mountain and excited to start a new journey.

At this time, there was a knock on the office door, Ma Zhongguo walked in, and then said: "Your dormitory will be left there for you, and you will live there when you come back for the New Year." ”

Lin Ping nodded: "Hmm." ”

Ma Zhongguo said: "Our family situation is almost the same, so we regard Kushan as our home and often go home to see. ”

Lin Ping nodded: "Hmm." ”

Then, Ma Zhongguo stood beside Lin Ping, and then took out the dry cigarette that he hadn't smoked for a long time and smoked it.

After a while, the school gate opened, the day students came to school, Ma Zhongguo and other teachers went to greet the children, Lin Ping stood in the office and watched the door not go down, instead he would stand at the school gate early to greet the students, but today he didn't want to go.

Soon after, when the time reached half past six, the lights passed through the fog, and then two horns sounded, and a black sedan appeared at the school gate.

Lin Ping picked up his luggage and walked out of the office, Wang Xinming walked up from upstairs and said, "That Director Wang's car is here......

"Well, I saw that. Lin Ping nodded and said.

"Here, I'll help you carry it. Wang Xinming went to help Lin Ping carry his luggage.

Lin Ping said: "No, I'll do it myself." ”

Wang Xinming still snatched a piece of luggage to help Lin Ping carry it, and then said: "I can't go to the county with you today, today is the day to send mountain goods to the provincial capital, and I have to leave after eating." ”

Lin Ping nodded with a smile and said, "Delivering mountain goods is your job, do it well." ”

Wang Xinming nodded: "When I come back, I'll go to No. 4 Middle School to see you." ”

The two walked to the first floor, Zhao Zhongyi, Shi Weiqing, Zhang Yipeng and other teachers led Wang Hongwen over, all the teachers gathered here, and there were students all around.

Wang Hongwen looked at the surrounding teachers and students, then looked at Lin Ping and said, "Let's go, Comrade Lin Ping." ”

Lin Ping nodded and said, "Hmm." ”

Then he swept around the teachers and students, and slowly passed through the teachers and students with their luggage, and everyone reluctantly made way for Lin Ping.

At this time, Feng Chunxiu ran out of the room: "Principal Lin, there is also this official, let's leave after breakfast." ”

Wang Hongwen raised his hand and looked at his watch, then said with a smile: "I still have a meeting at half past nine, and I have to go back at this time, so I won't eat." ”

Feng Chunxiu persuaded: "Eat some, it's all done." ”

Ma Zhongguo also followed and said: "Eat some, don't delay things." ”

Others followed suit.

Wang Hongwen looked at the posture and said, "Okay, Principal Lin, let's finish breakfast in your school before leaving." ”

Zhao Zhongyi called the driver of the car very quickly, and the three of them came to the room to quickly finish breakfast and then prepared to leave, and walked to the school gate, where many old folks in the mountains were standing.

Liu Mingdong stood in front with his three brothers, saw Lin Ping coming over, hurriedly walked over and shook hands with Lin Ping cordially, and then said: "I said that I would come to see you off, but fortunately I arrived in time, I didn't expect you to leave so early." ”

The news that Lin Ping was leaving Kushan spread throughout Kushan in one day yesterday, and most of the people in Kushan knew the news, and then hundreds of fathers and villagers personally came to bid farewell to Kushan, most of these people were beneficiaries of Zhongguo Hope School, either had close financial ties with Zhongguo Hope School, or were parents of school children.

Lin Ping looked around these fathers and villagers, his eyes turned a little red, and he was still familiar with a few people inside, he saw Liu Xiangqian's parents, Feng Xiao's parents, Wang Yige's grandparents, and also saw Zhao Yuejun's grandfather who wrapped himself tightly in a remote corner.

Lin Ping walked straight to Zhao Yuejun's grandfather, Zhao Yuejun's grandfather was a little flustered when he saw Lin Ping coming, and then said, "Principal Lin, I heard that you are leaving." ”

Lin Ping nodded: "Hmm." ”

Zhao Yuejun's grandfather asked, "What should Yuejun do?"

Lin Ping said with a smile: "I will return to Kushan on holidays, even if I am not in Zhongguo Hope School, Yuejun will take very good care, and when it is suitable in the future, I will consider taking Yuejun to the city, and then find a way to let her receive treatment and learn Braille." ”

Zhao Yuejun's grandfather only showed two eyes to look at Lin Ping, and then nodded: "Well, if you want me to say it, you ......."

Lin Ping interrupted the words of the Zhao family's grandfather: "I'm leaving, take care, come to the school if you have anything, find the teachers in the school, they will help you, call me if there is a big event." ”

The grandfather of the Zhao family looked at Lin Ping and nodded, and then did not speak.

Lin Ping returned to the car, Wang Hongwen got into the car first, Lin Ping looked at his parents and villagers and said: "Everyone leave, what should you do, I am not going back, I will come back, you can rest assured, I am not in Zhongguo Hope School will be fine, I will still maintain close contact with the teachers of the school." ”

Lin Ping looked at the school again, the children and teachers in the school were standing there to say goodbye to him, he smiled and said, "Let's all go back to self-study in the morning, and come back to see you during the winter vacation." ”

After saying that, Lin Ping opened the car door and was about to get into the car, when a voice of "Principal, go slowly!" sounded, followed by countless voices of "Principal, go slowly", and the voices of the students rose and fell with each other, shouting again and again.

Then, the fathers and villagers of Kushan also shouted: "Principal Lin, walk slowly, have a good journey, and often come back to Kushan to have a look." ”

Lin Ping said with red eyes: "Yes, of course I will come back." ”

The car moved forward slowly, the villagers on both sides of the road kept waving goodbye to Lin Ping, and the children in the school also rushed out.

Zhang Yipeng, who had not spoken, shouted loudly behind the car at this time: "Lao Lin, do a good job! When you come back, we will have a good chat!"

Lin Ping watched the familiar faces gradually become blurred, and finally tears fell.

Wang Hongwen handed over two tissues and said, "I now feel more and more that choosing you as the principal of the fourth middle school is the right choice." ”

Lin Ping wiped his eyes and said with a smile: "Who knows? After all, the situation is different, and it is difficult for me to guarantee it." ”

Wang Hongwen turned his head to look at Lin Ping and said with a smile: "I believe in you." These fathers and villagers in Kushan and the teachers and students in the school also believe in you, whether it is in Zhongguo Hope School or Xibei No. 4 Middle School, you can be a good principal. ”
