Today's dinner was shredded potatoes and pork, Chinese cabbage and bean puffs, and although it was not rich, it was much better than last year.

It is now the winter vacation, and the children and other teachers have gone home for the holidays, and the school is only attended by the old principal and Teacher Chen.

After the new school was built, the old principal and Teacher Chen did not have to use their meager salary to buy textbooks and homework books for the children, so they used a little money to improve the food.

Looking at the brand-new and tidy classrooms and desks in the school, the old principal and Teacher Chen felt extremely satisfied, and even ate a lot more fragrant.

For the old principal, who has been teaching here for more than 40 years, improving the teaching environment can be said to be his long-cherished wish, and now, it has finally come true.

Every time at this time, he would think of the young man named Yi Shuihan, because because of him, the children could learn in and out of the spacious and bright classroom.

"Xiao Chen...... It's been a short time, but now it's like a dream, you know, every time I go to the county and pass by the school there, I think about how nice it would be if the children in the mountains could also study in such a school, but I didn't expect that in my lifetime, this wish would come true...... Thanks to Teacher Yi!" the old principal said with emotion, his cheeks full of old folds and a smile that was particularly kind.

"Yes, the children are also thinking about their Teacher Yi!" Teacher Chen replied with a smile.

In fact, the old principal has said this sentence more than once, but Mr. Chen did not feel that the old principal was verbose, some things are forgetful when he is old, the old principal has been busy all his life, all for the children in the mountains, he can persist here for so long, and the influence and touching brought to him by the old principal is also one of the biggest reasons.

For Yi Shuihan, he is also deeply grateful, no one is unwilling to live a better life, compared with previous years, because of Yi Shuihan, their life has improved a lot.

The two of them were eating and chatting, when they heard a loud and excited voice at the door.

"Old headmaster, old headmaster, who do you see coming?" the village chief knocked on the door and strode in.

"Who?" the old principal and Teacher Chen looked up suspiciously.

The village chief moved away with joy on his face, and a long figure appeared in front of them, taking off his hat and sunglasses.

Those highly recognizable, dark and deep eyes, the corners of the mouth are lightly raised, and the gentle and calm smile - isn't it the Teacher Yi he was talking about just now!

The old principal and Teacher Chen stood up excitedly and greeted them.

The old principal's bony hands held Yi Shuihan tightly, his lips trembled, and it took a long time to say how many sits.

He was so excited, the old principal originally thought that he would not see Yi Shuihan in the future, but he didn't expect Yi Shuihan to appear in front of them again.

"Come, come, Xiao Yi, sit down and eat together!" the old principal said and was about to pull Yi Shuihan to the dining table, "By the way, Xiao Chen, you go fry a few more dishes!"

Yi Shuihan hurriedly stopped Teacher Chen, and said with a smile: "Principal, I have already eaten on the road, I am full, Brother Chen, you don't have to be busy." ”

"Come! Let's sit down and talk slowly, how can you have time to run to this deep mountain and old forest for the Chinese New Year?" Although Yi Shuihan was very happy to see their old principal, he still had some doubts in his heart.

"Haha, I've been living here for a year and a half, come back and see everyone. Yi Shuihan said with a smile.

"The principal was still talking about your goodness just now! Coincidentally, you are here!" said Teacher Chen with a smile.

"That's really a little flattering!" Yi Shuihan responded with a smile, "Is the old principal in good health?"

"Okay! Okay! With two bowls of rice per meal, I can still work in this position for twenty years!" The old principal grinned at the back of his head and slapped his chest with a bang, making Yi Shuihan and the others worry that he was slapping himself up.

Yi Shuihan quickly took his hand and continued to ask, "Is there anything else in the school that needs help?"

The village chief's eyes lit up, this is a good opportunity, the conditions of the school have improved a lot, but he still lacks a lot of teaching facilities, Yi Shuihan asked, he must have a heart to help, as long as the old principal speaks, those problems can be solved!

He thought like this, but he didn't expect the old principal to shake his head like a rattle: "No, no, everything is fine, there are some minor problems, but they can be overcome!"

He replied categorically, refusing Yi Shuihan's help again, it's not that the school doesn't need it, it's just that Yi Shuihan has already paid a lot for this school, and those things that can be overcome and can be solved by yourself can be solved by yourself, you can't rely on him alone.

The village chief sighed, but there was no way, he couldn't grab the old headmaster and make him nod, since he had decided so, the village would help a little more.

"That's good, if you have any problems in the future, just come to me, and I'll find a way to solve them for you. Yi Shuihan nodded and said.

"Oops!" the old principal suddenly patted his thigh and said, "It's winter vacation, and the children are not at school, so I have to go door to door to inform them, and those monkey cubs will be so happy when they hear that Teacher Yi is back." ”

Yi Shuihan hurriedly stopped the old principal and said, "Don't do that, don't disturb the children anymore...... After all, I can't stay long, so I don't want the children to be sad again. ”

Thinking of the scene of parting, Yi Shuihan felt a little uncomfortable at this time, since he had left, don't let both parties be sad again, and avoid causing secondary harm to the children.

The old headmaster was stunned for a moment, then sighed and nodded.

If possible, he really hoped that Yi Shuihan could stay here for the rest of his life and teach the children, the children liked him so much.

But the old principal also knew that his idea was impossible, Yi Shuihan didn't belong here after all......

The four of them chatted, chatting about the school, chatting about the children, and chatting about the young teachers who came here to teach, and the days seemed to have returned to the time when they were teaching here.

The old principal has too much gratitude and too many feelings to explain to Yi Shuihan, and for an old man who has dedicated his life to the cause of education in Dashan, Yi Shuihan maintains enough respect and admiration.

After chatting for a long time, Yi Shuihan said goodbye to the old principal and Teacher Wang, and walked towards Tunli and Wang Xian's home.

The closer he got, his heart couldn't help beating, this was the first time he felt flustered and even a little helpless when he came to this world.

What will the two of them be like...... She left by herself, and she was still waiting there......
