Mountain Village Female Teacher (Love Story) Zhang Baotong

From the ridge of Honghualing down to the small river between the valleys, the path burrows into the forest. The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info arrived here from the Yan River twenty miles away, it was already noon, I thought it was still early, and I planned to put down my backpack and rest for a while.

At this time, a pure and bright Xiangbei folk song came from the forest. This song is kind and melodious, full of strong nostalgia, and people listen to it, as if there is a clear spring flowing from the bottom of the heart.

With the singing, a delicate girl came from the fork in the woods. She carried a bamboo basket on her arm, wore a very elegant sunhat on her head with long shawl hair, and wore a short orange skirt to reflect a brilliant light in the green forest, and the fluttering style was like a colorful butterfly floating into the forest.

My eyes lit up in amazement, and my heart pounded. She came from the fork in the road, saw me and stopped singing. As she walked past me, she raised her head slightly, smiled softly at me, and hurried by.

I chased a few steps and said, "Hey, how do I go to Shangguping?"

She stopped, turned around, and tilted her head slightly to look at me, "My house is in Shangguping, who are you looking for?"

"I don't know, I only know that her name is Xiuxiu. I said a little incoherently.

She looked at me for a while, smiled, and said, "You are Xu Wenqing who went to school at the regional teacher college?"

"Yes, how do you know?" I was a little surprised to be met by a beautiful strange girl, and I thought this girl was very kind and cute.

"Who doesn't know you as a college student in the township?" said the girl, raising her blushing face.

Well, in this country, although I don't know many people, there are many people who know me and know me well, because there are so few people here who can go to university.

"I'm a graduate now. I said.

"Where?" she asked.

"I don't know yet, I'm going back to school to listen to the announcement. I replied, "Still, I want to become a teacher at the county high school." There is a shortage of teachers in the county. ”

She looked at me with beautiful eyes, smiled at me charmingly, and motioned for me to follow her.

"You don't know her, what are you looking for her?" asked me in an unfamiliar tone as she walked.

"What do you say," I said, taking the bamboo basket from her hand, and walking side by side with her, "I was only fourteen years old at the time, and I only knew how to read, and I didn't care much about anything else. One day, my mom said she was going to take me to someone else's house and have meat to eat. Our family hasn't eaten meat since the Chinese New Year, so I followed my mother to someone else's house. I ate a big bowl of meat at someone's house, and I met a girl in a blue flower dress. I can't remember anything else. But then my mother said that the girl was the girl who wanted to marry me. ”

The girl smiled and said, "Are you going to visit someone?"

I shook my head and said helplessly, "I'm going to work in the city after graduation, and it's impossible to go back to the country, so I don't want to find a girl from the country." ”

The girl said, "So you are a divorce." ”

"Yes," I explained, "but my mother said that they had been waiting for me, and that she would marry her when I had divided the job." But I had no interest in the girl named Xiuxiu, so I said that there was no girl in the mountains that I could look at. When my father heard this, he became angry, scolded me for not knowing what my surname was after a few years of school, and picked up a flat pole and kicked me out of the house. ”

"So, you're going to come and quit yourself. She frowned, looked at me, and said, "But that's no longer the case." What is important is free love and marital autonomy. ”

I said, "I think this will make my parents die of this heart, and I won't have to delay other girls." ”

Walking out of the woods, the sun has risen. I carried the basket for her and followed her up to a hillside covered with wildflowers. She removed her visor from her head, laid it on the grass, and sat down.

I sat next to her, and I felt a fresh breath permeating my heart. My gaze involuntarily followed her. Every little expression and gesture of her is so delicate and bright, setting off sultry waves in my keen emotions.

She took out a few oranges from the basket and handed them to me, saying, "Taste, I just brought them from my second aunt's house." ”

I peeled an orange, broke it and put it in my mouth, and I thought it was so sweet.

"Then eat more. This is my second aunt's own home-grown. She straightened her long windswept hair and smiled brightly in the sun.

"What's that Xiuxiu like?" I picked up another orange and ate it.

"She's teaching in the village, which is pretty good. She looked into the distance and said absentmindedly.

"I know, I mean what she looks like. ”

She looked at me and asked, "Haven't you seen that?"

"Except for the blue floral dress, I don't remember anything about her. ”

"She's beautiful. ”

I shook my head in disbelief.

She smiled at me gently, reached out and folded a small yellow flower on the grass in front of her, and looked at it infatuatedly.

"Hey, what's your name?" I took the little flower from her hand and put it in front of my nose and sniffed it.

"My name is Zhou Shuqin. She turned her head, a sunny smell in her smile.

"What are you doing?"

"Guess. ”

"It's definitely in the city. ”

"Not true. ”

"I can't guess that. ”

"Female teacher in a mountain village. She smiled sincerely and said, "Same as Xiuxiu." ”

Then we started walking towards the valley. The mountain wind blew her hair long and kept caressing my ears, giving me a sense of intimacy and strangeness. After a few bends along the valley, a corner of the col reveals a farmhouse surrounded by trees and bamboo forests. Shuqin said that she wanted to go to Yun Meizi's house to have a look. So, we came to the dilapidated mud house.

The front of the house was messy, and a girl in ragged clothes was chopping pig food on the grass. Shuqin called out to Sister Yun. When the girl turned and saw us, she stood up, and bowed her head in shame and self-esteem, as if she were going to cry. Shuqin walked over and stroked her loose hair with her hand, and said, "Sister Yun, do you still want to go to school?"

The girl couldn't help but cry.

Shuqin let out a long sigh and said to me, "Sister Yun loves to learn very much, and her composition is excellent. ”

I said, "It's a shame that such a child doesn't go to school." ”

Shuqin asked Yun Meizi to call her father. We went inside. The house was a mess, full of farm tools and sundries. A black coffin takes up half of the house, giving people a gloomy and depressing feeling. We hurried out of the house and sat in the sunny open space in front of the house.

Shuqin said that Yun Meizi was a fourth-grade student, her mother had been paralyzed for eleven years and had just died, and her father owed a lot of money, so she didn't let Yun Meizi go to school. She said that she had begged Yun Meizi's father several times, but her father just refused to agree.

In a moment a moment a little unkempt old man came down the path in front of the house, and it was evident that the excessive hardships and burdens had crushed his back, and that he had grown old before he was forty years old. He looked depressed, poorly dressed, and had a bitter look on his face.

Shuqin said to him, "Uncle Xu, this is Wen Qing of Xu's father's family in Yanhe Village, who has just graduated from university. ”

The old man stretched his sad face for a moment, and hurriedly respectfully handed me the choking dry tobacco pouch in his hand. I waved my hand and said, "Uncle Xu, Sister Yun looks pretty good, she should go to school." ”

The old man immediately showed a look of pity and said, "Her mother has been sick and paralyzed for more than ten years, and I have been burdened with a debt of several thousand yuan, and then let Yun Meizi go to school, how can I afford it?" Because his annual income is only three or four hundred yuan.

I said, "The difficulties are temporary, but the future of the child is lifelong." ”

The old man took a puff of cigarette, coughed dryly, and said, "My sister is going to marry after all, and it is useless to invest that much money in it." ”

I said, "My sister is uneducated, and she can only marry an illiterate man when she marries, so she will suffer and be poor for a lifetime." ”

The old man sighed, shook his head dejectedly, and said, "The girl in the countryside is not as good as the city, and no matter how much she reads, she is still a farmer, so it is better to do something practical to reduce the burden on the family." ”

Hearing this, I felt a lot of sadness in my heart: under the pressure of poverty, people's conscience and faith are so fragile and helpless. I was very annoyed by his ignorance and obtuseness, so I said, "I have covered the cost of Yun Meizi's schooling." Now just nod your head. ”

Shuqin was stunned and looked at me with a surprised gaze, perhaps surprised her by what I said.

The old man bowed his head and did not say anything, obviously he was hesitating or wavering.

I stood up, took fifty dollars out of my pocket, and shoved it into his hand. He refused to accept it, but my attitude was very resolute, and he accepted it. At this moment, I saw a string of stubborn and guilty tears falling from the corners of his eyes.

Leaving Yun Meizi's house, we walked on the winding mountain road. Looking at the clear sky and fertile fields illuminated by the autumn sun, I feel extremely relaxed and relaxed.

"I'm going hungry when I go back to school. She said to me, her words full of concern.

"How can a living person still hold his urine?" I said disapprovingly.

As she reached the dam of the High Reservoir, she suddenly stopped, her face blushing, "Have you talked to any friends?" and her embarrassment seemed to indicate that she shouldn't ask such a question to a man.

"Needless to say, where there are men and women, the flowers of love will bloom. I looked at her with burning eyes, and my heart was filled with beautiful emotions.

"Then you must have a girlfriend?" she said, tucking her visor behind her back and swiping her head on the ground with the tip of her white leather sandal.

"There was one in the past, but now it's gone. As I say this, I can still feel the wound left by a starlight as it crosses my heart.

"Why?" she asked me, in a quiet and peaceful tone.

"I was supposed to stay in school, but my place was cancelled. Seeing that I had no hope of staying in school, she got along with someone else. I smiled bitterly, shrugged helplessly, and then said, "What about you?"

She turned her face to the distance, looked up to the sky and let out a long breath, and said in a low voice, "Not yet." ”

I feel a little unbelievable, in the township, the girls who are her age are almost married, even if they are not good-looking, but she has not been in love. I said, "Are your eyes too high?" because I know that all pretty girls have high eyes.

She shook her head, a hint of imperceptible melancholy in her eyes. Looking at the faint melancholy hidden in her light smile, my heart couldn't help but move with pity. I looked at her with affection and earnestness, and said, "You seem to have some unspeakable suffering, can you tell me about it?" ”

She stood in front of me, muttered for a moment, raised her head, and called out in a passionate and psychedelic tone, "Wenqing." Her voice trembled, like a moan in a dream.

I know it's the call of the heart. In a flash of impulse, I took her hand. She grabbed my hand and held it tightly, as if to express a long-gathered feeling. Her cheeks were brightly scented. Her red lips bloomed with a smile of love, full of youthful innocence and coquettishness.

"Shuqin, I feel like I've seen you somewhere. I stroked her long hair with emotion.

"Really?" she said, blinking her beautiful eyes at me with a wry blink, "where?"

"I can't remember, maybe in a dream. I said warmly.

She smiled brightly, like a slowly blooming mountain red.
