"Jingle Bell ......"

"That's it for today's lesson, kids. Have a great weekend and see you next week. Children from far away walk together on the road, please pay attention to safety. ”

"Teacher Xiangxiang, Teacher Xiangxiang, happy weekend!" A little boy over 5 years old approached Li Yiyan, took her hand, and greeted her sweetly.

Xiu Yan raised his hand, rubbed his little head, and said softly, "McDull children, happy weekend." Today's English song you sing is the best, the timbre is accurate, praise one. Remember to go home and sing it to your grandparents. ”

Watching McDull jump out of the school gate, touch his belly with his hand, and soothe the naughty little guy, it must be McDull's voice that makes the baby excited.

Looking at the children who were carrying their schoolbags and going home happily, Xiuyan smiled comfortably, only by being with the children can she be as calm as water.

Shen Qiuhan, Xiao Nan and He Zeying almost turned over the country, and no one expected that the little girl was in a remote mountain village more than 100 kilometers away from Wushi.

That day, Li Yiyan returned to the Liu family villa sadly, hurriedly took a shower, changed his clothes, took his passport and a few thousand yuan in cash, and went directly to the airport. I'm going to buy a ticket for the fastest outbound flight casually.

Who knows, as soon as he arrived at the airport, he was found by He Zeying's subordinates, who had already been ambushed. After being held hostage, she slipped away in a hurry. Unexpectedly, those outlaws chased all the way to the farmland near the airport.

She hid in the alfalfa field for a while, knowing that sooner or later she would be blocked by these people, and crawled onto an electric tricycle. Unconsciously far from the city, he was taken to the countryside.

During this period, I changed a few more cars, aimless, and wherever I went.

The last one to get on was a pickup truck with a lot of textbooks, school bags and stationery. Maybe it was these things that made her think of the child and feel more cordial, so she hid in the carriage and never went down.

The car stops and goes, the road is very bumpy, and there are deserted mountains in front of you. Finally, when it was dark, we arrived at a small mountain village.

In the car, she heard the driver constantly greeting the people in the village, most of them elderly. Eventually, the vehicle came to a stop on a hillside not far from the village.

Li Yiyan secretly jumped out of the car, looked at the endless and endless peaks, and breathed a sigh of relief, and he couldn't walk out of his legs when he was tired.

The driver was unloading the cargo, and soon found Li Yiyan, looked left and right, and slandered in his heart, where did this girl come from?

Li Yiyan was stared at by the driver, a little embarrassed. He smiled apologetically and stammered, "Big brother, I'm sorry, I'm ...... I just got a ride with you. I'll just go. ”

The driver put down the book in his hand, looked Li Yiyan up and down, and finally focused his eyes on the bulging abdomen, his tone was slightly cold, and he sneered, "Are you super born? In order to avoid fines, hide in our remote mountainous area?"

That's not good, this persona will be bad.

Li Yiyan shook his head firmly, "Big brother, look at how old I am." I assure you, it's definitely not a superbirth, it's the first child. ”

The driver's eyes raised slightly, and he asked suspiciously, "You are a pregnant woman, not resting at home, why are you secretly hiding in my car?"

Li Yiyan's brain was spinning rapidly, and suddenly an idea came out. rolled up his sleeves, revealing large bruises and scars, and said pitifully, "Big brother, my life is miserable." My husband always beats me when he's drunk, and you see my arms and legs, all of them are scars.

Last night, he drank too much and beat me so hard that I almost had a miscarriage. For the sake of the child, I had to sneak away. But I married far away, and I had no relatives or friends by my side, so I could only embark on the road of escape.

Big brother, please, take me in for a while, okay? If you are embarrassed, then I will leave tomorrow morning. ”

As he spoke, the tears overflowing with his eyes rolled down one by one. The injury on her arm was caused by He Zeying's men, and the scar was caused by the crash. Now let the unwarranted 'husband' take responsibility.

The driver was stunned by this pitiful look, lowered his eyes and thought for a while, "It's not impossible to take you in, but I'm just a handyman, and I speak softly." The grandson of the village chief goes to school here, and he picks up and drops off the children every day, and will definitely ask if he finds you. ”

Seeing that Li Yiyan showed a look of disappointment, he asked inquiringly, "Do you have an ID card? Nowadays, young people have a lot of ghost ideas, and I am not good at this head."

If you can prove that you are not from an unknown source, I will help you. I told the school, you are my daughter-in-law, pregnant, and came from my hometown to give birth. ”

Li Yiyan was overjoyed, there was a photo in his passport, and he was about to take it out, when he suddenly paused. The passport is all in English, and this driver can't read it, if you find someone who can understand it and find out that she is a foreigner, it will be even more troublesome.

The water eyes reappeared a pitiful and aggrieved look, and cried sadly, "Big brother, my husband is afraid that I will run away, so he hid my ID card in the morning, and I ...... I didn't. But I assure you, I'm definitely not a bad person. You see that I am a weak woman, or a pregnant woman, what bad things can I do?"

The driver thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, what's your name?"

Li Yiyan didn't think about it, and blurted out, "Liu Xiang'er." ”

The driver raised his eyebrows, pursed his lips and said, "My daughter-in-law's nickname happens to be Xiangxiang, it seems that you are destined." You'll live in the school from now on.

There was an empty room in the room next to me, and everyone slept on his own. My name is Haizi, and in addition to me, there is also a teacher in the school, Lin Qi, who is in his 50s, and you call him Teacher Lin. ”

Li Yiyan was very grateful, overjoyed, and finally had a stable nest.

Haizi settled Li Yiyan well, and did not forget to remind, "Teacher Lin is very old-fashioned, the villagers are all elderly, they love to gossip, to avoid arousing suspicion, you had better talk less."

If you feel bored, spend time with the kids. I don't think you have any money, so do what you can, cook, wash clothes, feed the chickens, and I'll do the heavy lifting. ”

Li Yiyan nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and replied with satisfaction, "Brother Haizi, I understand, how can you eat and live for nothing." Thank you for taking me in. ”

The following month, she began a new life in her life. Sunrise and sunset.

Early in the morning, the rooster gets up and makes breakfast quickly. After eating, tidying up the kitchen and doing laundry. Then, go to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables and make lunch. In the afternoon, feed the chickens, sweep the yard, and prepare dinner......

I feel that in a month, I have made up all the housework that I didn't do before the age of 25.

However, this month is very happy, the children like her, the villagers are friendly, Haizi is very caring, Teacher Lin is also amiable, and laughter surrounds her all day long.

Coarse tea and light food and a quiet life make her heart wide and fat, and most importantly, she no longer worries about being captured by He Zeying's men, and she will not be worried about Shen Qiuhan's empathy and farewell.

The belly is getting bigger day by day, and the baby is getting more and more naughty, kicking all day long. Let her look forward more and more to the day when she will meet the little one.

Li Yiyan's peaceful days were finally completely subverted in one afternoon.

Lin Qi died of a sudden illness, and there were no teachers in this mountaintop elementary school. The village committee consulted with the higher authorities and decided to withdraw the school and send the students to attend classes in a neighboring village.

When Li Yiyan heard the news, his heart sank. I finally found a place to live in peace, but I said that it was gone.

The school was withdrawn, there were no students, no teachers, no funds, and Haizi, a handyman and driver, was also dismissed.

Li Yiyan didn't want to leave the quiet mountain village, there was nothing wrong with it except for being far away and backward. The scenery is beautiful, the air is fresh, the folk customs are simple, and more importantly, it makes her feel at ease, at least before giving birth, and does not want to return to the life of running around in the big city.

The school was closing, and on the last day, the classrooms were filled with children, grandparents, and the village chief.

Everyone is very reluctant to give up this place. But Teacher Lin Qi has passed away, no one teaches the children, and no one wants to come to this poor mountain village to teach.

Just as everyone got up and was about to leave, Li Yiyan picked up Lin Qi's lesson plan and stood on the podium, "Children, let Teacher Xiangxiang teach you the last lesson today, okay?"

The children and parents turned their heads suspiciously, and when they saw the calm and resolute face, they sat down involuntarily as if they had been immobilized.

I have to say that Li Yiyan is too much of a loss for not being a teacher. She gave the children a lively and entertaining Chinese lesson.

After 40 minutes, the bell rang for the end of class, and the parents were so excited that they gave a standing ovation.

Li Yiyan put down the language book, stretched out his hand to signal quiet, smiled, and said, "Children, is this class bell good?"

The children looked at each other in bewilderment, and the parents also looked at each other. The bell for the end of class sounds good, but when you hear it, it means that you have to leave the classroom and leave the school.

These left-behind children are eager to change their destiny through learning, and without school, they are getting farther and farther away from hope.

Li Yiyan understood everyone's thoughts, and his bright eyes blinked, "Children, this bell for the end of class is very pleasant, but I know that there is something more beautiful, that is, you sing it." ”

After a pause, he continued, "Today I will teach you an English song, which is the tune of the bell after class. If you still want to hear the bell at the end of class, miss this classroom, this school, sing it to yourself......"

The next day, on behalf of the elders of the village, the village chief hoped that Li Yiyan would stay and teach the children before giving birth. If these dozen or so children are allowed to go to a neighboring village halfway, the distance is too long, and the children will delay their school time, which is very detrimental to their development.

Looking at the energetic faces of a dozen children, she happily agreed. This is also the original intention of her to summon the courage to stand on the podium.

Haizi, who was originally dismissed, happily stayed, but he didn't expect this thin girl to be quite knowledgeable.

From that day on, in order to thank him for having food again, cooking, washing clothes, and doing chores, Haizi did all the work. Let Li Yiyan concentrate on teaching children to learn.

In the blink of an eye, three months have passed, and there is still one month to give. Li Yiyan's body is getting heavier and heavier, and his belly is as big as a gong. But he is in a good mood, in good spirits, walks without breathing, and moves freely.

All this time, she has been wondering what to do in the future.

If she continued to stay in the mountain village, the village chief asked her to go to the nearby public security organ to register her identity information, but she always found an excuse to shirk it.

If you leave here, you will be very reluctant. can't let go of left-behind children like McDull, and fellow villagers who treat her like relatives.

In the dead of night, she took out her passport and looked at it over and over again, if she had to leave after all and couldn't go back to Wushi, she would better go abroad.
