"Teacher Zhang, are you okay?"

"Teacher Zhang, don't move, don't move, I'll come down and pull you!"

It was raining continuously, the mountain road was slippery, the charter did not step on a foot, fell to the ground with a "bang tom", the body went all the way down the hillside, unable to control the direction of the slide, fortunately the slope was gentle, and there was a bunch of weeds below, finally there was no danger, and finally stopped after sliding out of more than ten meters.

"It's okay, I can come up on my own."

The charter was scared into a cold sweat, for fear that Principal Lu and Teacher Lu, who had walked more than ten miles of mountain roads to pick him up in the town, would also fall, so they hurriedly grabbed a rattan and got up, their backpacks and clothes were covered with mud, they were unrecognizable, and they touched their buttocks, and it seemed that their pants were torn.

The current household registration management is not as strict as that of later generations, and the previous ID card has not been cut or taken away, and he is now neither a Hong Kong native, nor the chief engineer of NB Electrical, but an ordinary volunteer of the Xiangjiang Volunteer Federation.

The volunteer shouted unpleasantly and disrespectfully, and Principal Lu and Teacher Lu simply called him Teacher Zhang the same way they treated the Hong Kong volunteers who had just left some time ago. After confirming that he was okay, Principal Lu said with trepidation: "You know that the mountain road is difficult to walk, right?" Teacher Zhang, the further you go, the more slippery it becomes, follow me, you can step on your feet wherever I go, you must be careful. ”

Principal Lu was in his forties, wrinkled, thin and dark, and looked less like a principal, more like an old farmer who worked in the fields all year round. Mr. Lu is a few years younger than him, and like him, he looks very old, taciturn, and has been carrying the big bag brought from the SAR by the charter, carefully for fear of bumping into it.

Chartering dusted off the dirt on his body and said apologetically, "I'll pay attention to the two of you if you are frightened." ”

It was even more dangerous to walk on the mountain road after dark, but Principal Lu did not dare to delay, carried a basket of daily necessities purchased from the town, and took the lead in opening the way. After nearly four hours of arduous trekking, he finally saw the destination of the trip on a small hill - Lujiawan Village.

At sunset, the mountains stretch like undulating waves, and the small village of dozens of families sits deep in this almost isolated mountain, like a button tied to the chest of the mountain. The meandering stream at the foot of the mountain was whimpering, as if chattering about the hardships of life.

Looking around, the vast, deep, and endless woods are reckless and vast, layered on top of each other, surging with endless green waves. Stretching endlessly to the far ends of the sky, disappearing into the depths of the distant mountains covered with mist.

Looking at the surrounding scenery, the charter couldn't help but sigh: "It's so beautiful! ”。

Principal Lu smiled innocently, unloaded the basket, put his hands to his lips in the shape of trumpets, and shouted to the village in the distance, "I'm back...... I received Teacher Zhang......"

The valley suddenly reverberated with his high-pitched echo with vicissitudes and vicissitudes with a bit of joy. After a while, a large group of children poured out of the entrance of the village, rushing from the main road, from the side path, and even from the terraced fields.

"Hello Mr. Zhang!"

On the way here, the charter was still a little worried, and he didn't know how to get along with the children, but when the children looked at him with clear eyes, and called him "Teacher Zhang" timidly and respectfully, his heart suddenly opened up.

"Hello classmates," Charter squatted down, stroked the children's foreheads, and said in a gentle voice: "Thank you, thank you for your welcome, everyone knows my surname Zhang, you may not know my name yet, my name is Charter Charter, it's a pleasure to see you." ”

After several batches of Hong Kong volunteers before, the children were much bolder, and they looked at the backpack behind him one by one, wondering what Mr. Zhang had brought to him. This made Principal Lu feel very embarrassed, and immediately coughed dryly twice, and said loudly: "Students, Teacher Zhang has walked the mountain road for a long time, and now I need to rest, okay, a few of the senior students will help me carry the basket, and the lower grades will go home early." ”

Looking at the children's stupid appearance, Teacher Lu hurriedly explained: "The children in the mountains have never seen the world, Teacher Zhang, let you laugh." ”

"Kid, it's good to be curious."

Lujiawan NB Hope Primary School was built at the entrance of the village, with four neat rows of school buildings and no teaching buildings. On the left is a cement playground, which occupied the village threshing floor when the school was built, so the playground is shared with the villagers and is not enclosed by a fence. On the right is the canteen and dormitory, the children in Lujiawan are close, they don't need to live in the school when they go home from school, and the dormitory is for the children of several villages on the other side of the mountain.

Basketball court, library, table tennis table, organ...... The school building is spacious and bright, and the tables, chairs and benches are all new, so it can be seen that the money is basically used. What is even more rare is that the city and county governments have also squeezed out a sum of money to build a nearly 10-kilometer line between the mountains and mountains, so that the school and the villagers of Lujiawan can use the electricity of the small hydropower station outside the mountain.

As soon as the Hong Kong volunteers left, the sheets and bedding were ready-made, and Principal Lu helped Teacher Lu unload the big bag on his shoulder, and introduced: "There are six teachers in the school, Teacher Lu and I are born and raised in Lujiawan, and the other three are from neighboring villages with the children. ”

The charter asked, "What about the other one?" ”

"Teacher Xia's situation is quite special."

Principal Lu rubbed his swollen legs and explained in a 1510 way: "She is from Dongshan, and three years ago our county went to their hometown to investigate, and the quality of education there attracted the attention of the county leaders, and finally made an agreement to exchange wood for human materials, our county provided them with the wood that was in short supply there, and their county sent teachers to us to establish a model school." Each batch of thirty people, rotated once every three years, she is the second batch, just a few months old.

She is a fresh graduate and a college student, so it stands to reason that she should go to the county No. 1 middle school like other Dongshan teachers. Later, for some unknown reason, the county education committee assigned her to us. Poor mountains and remote areas, the conditions are so difficult, I really wronged her, but fortunately, it was only three years, and it was over after persevering. ”

In addition to last summer's incident, what else could there be, the charter did not ask any further.

Having received several groups of volunteers, Principal Lu already had a wealth of experience, so instead of inviting him to dinner by himself, he took him around the cafeteria and told him where the rice, oil, and vegetables were. The charter also followed the rules set by Ms. Zhang Xu Nanzhen, and took out 500 yuan as a month's food expenses.

After a day and a half of sitting in a car and walking for half a day on a mountain road, I was exhausted and had a sore back, so I had the energy to cook again, nibbled on a few mouthfuls of bread bought on the road, went to the cafeteria to fetch a basin of water and washed it in the dormitory, fell asleep on the bed.

"Teacher Zhang, Teacher Zhang......"

I don't know how long I slept, but suddenly I heard someone knocking on the door in the haze, and I opened my eyes and asked in a daze, "Who, what's the matter?" ”

A girl's voice came from outside: "Principal Lu must have introduced it to you, my surname is Xia, my name is Xia Yao, I am a Chinese teacher in the fourth, fifth and sixth grades, and when you arrived at school, I was sending the children from the next village over the cliff." After walking for a long time, I know that you are tired, but you can't skip eating. ”

Only then did he come to his senses, and when he thought that people were also kind, he hurriedly got up and got dressed.

Opening the door, a girl about twenty years old stood slimly at the door, combing a ponytail, wearing a plain spring and autumn shirt, a standard melon seed face, big phoenix eyes, the crystal clear snow skin under the light flashed with an ivory-like halo, and the stunning and delicate fragrance was as red as fire, graceful as a water hibiscus.

She stared at him with a smile, her black and long eyelashes tightly covered the pair of sheared autumn pupils, and a faint fragrance came out of her, wisps of which penetrated into her nostrils, smelling refreshing and pleasant, and her body was comfortable.

Such a pure, beautiful girl, just like a fairy suddenly descended on this poor mountain, there is an accident that a sister Lin fell from the sky. Everyone has a love for beauty, and the charter is throbbing for a while, and I am a little crazy to watch.

Why is he staring at people like this?

seemed to receive his blazing gaze, Xia Yao's pretty face turned red, her heart was pounding, and the shyness at the moment when she lowered her head added a little more and more touching charm.

The charter suddenly realized that he had lost his temper, and he was embarrassed, and hurriedly defended: "Yes...... Right...... Sorry, I just woke up, I ...... I haven't woken up yet, I'm ......."

Such a handsome young man, his incoherent and red-faced appearance, Xia Yao felt a little funny, and said softly: "Let's eat, I'm ready, and I boiled two bottles of boiling water." After finishing speaking, his thin lips pursed slightly, and a few locks of broken hair hung down on his forehead, which was indescribably beautiful and moving.

It's a shame to be an adult, and it's even more shameful not to eat.

The charter scolded himself and followed her to the cafeteria.

A plate of pickles pickled with white radish, carrots and cabbage, a plate of fried bacon with dried beans, and a large bowl of pickled egg soup, red, yellow, white and green, although simple, but also full of color and flavor.

Looking at his gobbling up, Xia Yao was a little ashamed and said softly: "Teacher Zhang, I know about your Volunteer Federation. ”

"Really?"

Xia Yao nodded, and said like a few treasures: "You are volunteers of the 'Canton Fair', and you have also opened a 'care' hotline to provide help to young people who have just gone to the Special Economic Zone and are in difficulty, CCTV has reported many times, but I didn't expect you to come to the small ravine of Lujiawan." ”

The charter put down his chopsticks and said casually: "Aren't you the same?" ”

"I'm not like you."

A casual remark made the charming and embarrassing atmosphere disappear, Xia Yao's expression was gloomy, and she was silent for a while before she said faintly: "You are a volunteer, you can come whenever you want, and you can leave whenever you want." I am an educator and an educated, I want to come if I don't want to come, and I have to leave if I don't want to go. ”
