Chapter 20: The Hollow Valley Orchid
Because her spiritual power was severely damaged, Yinyue was unable to arrange a teleportation circle to notify Xiaojing and Lan Lan to come to the meeting, and her movement was still a little inconvenient, so she decided to stay here for a few days temporarily.
With the conversation between Yinyue and Lu Wei, the relationship between the two gradually became familiar.
Yinyue learned that Lu Wei's family was in a big city in northern China, and he was a famous college student who volunteered to teach in the west.
Lu Wei's father was a soldier, and his mother was also a military health worker. In the war-torn years, they once lived together and fought side by side in the land of Shuzhou for their ideals. Once, when they were betrayed by traitors within the organization, they fled to the mountains, where they were protected by the local people's sacrifice for their lives, and finally survived.
After the war, the elderly parents remembered their fellow villagers. But because of physical reasons, I can't travel long distances, so I can only send some money and goods to support some poor children and express my gratitude.
Lu Wei grew up in the story of iron and blood since he was a child. Under the influence of his father, Shuzhou has also become a place where he is haunted by his dreams. So, after graduation, Lu Wei took the initiative to come to Shuzhou and teach in the most remote place in Shuzhou for three years.
He thought that his father had gained too much from this barren but rich place, and that he should do something as a son.
Born in a big city, he came with his luggage in high spirits. But the road was bumpy, and as far as the eye could see, the backward economy of the local area was distressing. But it also made him secretly determined that he must persevere.
He is a pampered city man, living alone in a different place, and the difficulty can be imagined.
Originally, he lived in a school in the mountains, but the so-called school was a cowshed and was in disrepair and too shabby. The house is ventilated on all sides, and when it rains, there is not even a good foothold. Whether it is living or studying, it is extremely inconvenient.
Fortunately, soon, the son of a family surnamed Wang in the village became prosperous in business outside, and the family had to move away. So, under the arrangement of the village chief, his original three adobe houses temporarily became the school and Lu Wei's residence. After Lu Wei's teaching was finished and he voluntarily left the village, the right to use the house was returned to the village.
Before leaving, the middle-aged man with a face full of vicissitudes held Lu Wei's hand and said affectionately: "Little brother, your book teaching is so good, my baby is reluctant to leave you." It's poor here, in fact, my brother wants you to stay here, but he doesn't want you to - alas, brother, just say this, my house is your house, you can live as long as you want, until the day you want to leave......"
When he learned that Lu Wei had been here for two whole years and had never mentioned leaving, he was honest and honest, and he liked to admire Lu Wei in his heart - perhaps, only those who have experienced the bright lights outside understand how difficult it is to stick to their hearts.
It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, but the mountains are rocky, so for the sake of safety, the houses of the villagers are relatively scattered.
However, the people in the village have much closer contact with each other than the people in the city. When they learned of the arrival of the silver moon, they all came to greet them.
The people in the village were extremely enthusiastic, and some even sent walnuts and home-made mustard and sugar and oil fruits, which are already quite rare delicacies in this small village that is not wealthy.
There was also a woman who plucked two fresh cabbages from her field. This made Lu Wei extremely embarrassed, because he remembered that the vegetables he grew were indeed unproductive.
Of course, there are also some people from the village who come to see it when the farming is busy. However, when they saw these scenes, they were a little annoyed—
So, when the children came to class the next day, some of them brought tofu milk, peanuts, and old eggs in addition to books in their hands.
Children generally have to walk long distances, and they often don't come together. So much so that Lu Wei later had to temporarily stop the lesson in his hand and put away his things in time first - to avoid them from reciting books, their eyes dripping with the food on the ground, and they didn't know that the pages were wet with saliva.
It is said that it is a school, but the principal and teacher of the entire school are just Lu Wei. There are only sixteen students, all of whom are about three to ten years old. Because, when the children grow up to be over 10 years old, most parents in the village can rest assured that they can go to the town center school more than 20 miles away.
If it rains, a dozen children are crammed into two separate rooms to study. On one side there are small classes for children up to six years old, and on the other side there are large classes for children over six years old. Lu Wei walked back and forth between the two rooms. When teaching in this room, he will study and practice there, and when he is studying and practicing in this room, he will naturally be in class over there.
If the weather is nice, it's lively – the lawn in front of the house is a large open-air classroom. More than a dozen babies flocked to move or lift the tables and benches in the room and transfer them to the small dirt in front of the house.
Yinyue was idle, and sometimes she stood next to him and watched him teach. Especially seeing that he teaches a small class, he has a special interest.
Goose goose goose, song to the sky, white hair floating green water, red anthurium plucking clear waves......
This is a Chinese class, and it is the most popular class for children.
Rows of little heads shook around, dirty fingers subconsciously patted the table rhythmically, and the immature children's voices were uneven, which made Yinyue who watched couldn't help laughing.
Of course, the children also learn mathematics.
In order to be close to life and improve their interest in learning, Lu Wei has taken great pains in teaching.
"Excuse me: a frog fell into a well, the bottom of the well is 8 meters high from the wellhead, the frog climbs up 3 meters and falls down 2 meters every day, how long does it take to climb out?"
2 and a half days!3 days!I said 4 days......
The children raised their hands in the face of Lu Wei, but their mouths did not stop, chattering like sparrows.
"Teacher, I saw that there was a little frog over there!"
As he spoke, a sharp-eyed boy running out of class. As a result, when he came back, he really had a frog in his hand that was stretching its legs.
As a result, countless pairs of eyes instantly focused on the frog on the ground. The anxious voices in the Ping were higher than the other—
Jump...... Jump...... Jump ...... Jump......
Teacher, it can't jump this far!
The children couldn't find the answer from the frog, and some studious children asked Lu Wei with a sincere face.
Seeing Yinyue laughing beside her, Lu Wei was speechless for a while, and could only smile bitterly.
Such a lively and interesting comedy is often staged inside and outside the classroom.
Of course, if the villagers are not working, some of them also come to stand by and watch.
At this time, the children sit more straight than the other, raise their hands higher than the other, and answer questions louder than the other.
On this day, in the activity class, Lu Wei taught them a classic children's rhyme.
He took the children to dance in the lawn, singing and dancing—
Under the bridge in front of the door, swim a flock of ducks, come and count them, two, four, six, seven, eight, quack, quack, really, really much......
Perhaps, I feel that Lu Wei's dancing is too graceful and I can't bear to witness it.
Aunt He from the east end of the village said to Yinyue beside her, "Miss Xiaoyue, will you go and dance together?"
Aunt He's voice is relatively loud, and when she said this, some children heard it. A little girl with a ponytail immediately came to invite Yinyue, "Aunt Xiaoyue, will you dance with us?"
"This—" She hesitated, dancing wasn't her forte.
But then, more children joined in to pull her......
In the end, all the people stopped—
"Children, let's invite Aunt Xiaoyue to dance for us with applause, okay?"
Lu Wei's voice echoed in the ping. In an instant, many small palms clapped up. At the same time, several familiar faces from the village also came.
It was difficult to resist the enthusiasm, Yinyue glanced at Lu Wei angrily, and had to agree.
She said to Lu Wei, "You come and play a tune to accompaniment." ”
Lu Wei nodded, and then took out the harmonica from the classroom. It was brought from the city by him, and it was a polyphonic harmonica that could play twenty-four notes.
"Auntie doesn't dance well, don't mind!" Yinyue secretly beat the drum in her heart, stood in the middle of the ping and said, "It's ugly!"
……
Lu Wei's piano skills were taught by his father, and he played the theme song "Friendship Lasts Forever" from the classic old movie "Broken Blue Bridge". He has already blown this song thousands of times, and he is familiar with it by heart.
In the expectation of everyone, the sound of the piano rose melodiously, and the silver moon also danced to the rhythm of the piano.
Lu Wei skillfully controlled the harmonica in his hand and looked intently at the dancing woman in front of him......
She is as light as a swallow, her arms are soft as bonesless, and her gestures are as graceful as the wind blowing willows. In the cold music, she is slender and slender, the lotus steps move lightly, and the light dance is like a butterfly flying among the flowers, and like the bright moon in the deep mountains, which is so beautiful that it is incomprehensible.
Gradually, he forgot his heartbeat, forgot to breathe...... The shadows in the field flowed, the clothes flew up, and when I looked back, there seemed to be infinite style between the eye waves, which made people intoxicated with the eyes and the heart......
Where is this mortal woman, this is the Lingbo fairy who gives birth to a lotus step by step, the empty valley Youlan who does not eat the fireworks of the world, and the flying goddess who comes from the dream.
