Chapter 43: The Covenant of the Rainy Mountain

During the holidays, early in the morning, Ning Xin took Rui Rui out to attend early education classes.

Flower Shadow sent them away, stretched, and threw herself back into the nest, bored on the bed playing with her phone.

I was in a daze, and my mobile phone rang, which scared me and woke up.

Xue Bin said on the other end of the phone: "There is a volunteer activity on the weekend, in Yushan Middle School, will you go?"

Hanakage didn't wait for an answer.

Xue Bin said: "The scenery there is very beautiful, there are mountains and rivers, I just want to take you to relax." ”

Flower Shadow smiled: "You said so, can I still refuse?" ”

Early Saturday morning, Xue Bin was downstairs waiting for Huaying.

Huaying hurriedly finished washing up and hurriedly ran downstairs: "Do you want to be so early?" It's finally time for the holidays, can you let me make up for the beauty sleep first?? ”

Xue Bin blinked: "The early bird has worms!" ”

Sure enough, as soon as Huaying got on the car, a stream of aroma came to her nose, which was the tempting taste of breakfast. Flower Shadow's stomach immediately began to stir, and countless voices began to shout: "Starvation, starvation!" ”

Huaying couldn't care less about being reserved, swallowed her saliva, and asked embarrassedly: "It's so fragrant!" Was this bought for me? ”

Xue Bin smiled slyly as he started the car: "Why don't you ask me if I have eaten?" ”

Flower Shadow's face turned red: "Then have you eaten?" ”

Xue Bin laughed: "I've eaten it early, this is a nutritious breakfast for beautiful women, hurry up and enjoy it!" ”

Xue Bin is really a very careful and warm male type, which is not the same as the image of a brave and majestic policeman in people's impressions.

As soon as the flower shadow gobbled it up, it wiped out the breakfast like a whirlwind. wiping his mouth, he remembered that he had to take care of a little ladylike image, and his face turned red again in an instant.

The shadow of the flower is not as gentle as Ning Xin, and it is not as free and easy as Ziyan. She is the kind that sees through but often can't let go, sensitive and real.

"Finished eating?" Xue Bin said.

"Uh-huh." Huaying looked at the handsome and cool face in the rearview mirror, "Why did you get up so early?" ”

"I used to train every day at school, and I got used to waking up early ......"

…………

After about 20 kilometers of driving, Yushan is getting closer and closer. The sky here is bluer, the clouds are surprisingly white, and from a distance, the rainy mountains shrouded in mist are so mysterious and desirable.

Huaying rolled down the window, stretched out her hand, took a deep breath, and felt that even the smell of the wind was different, and she couldn't tell whether it was dirt or grass, melons and fruits or beans and wheat, in short, everything made people feel comfortable.

Contemplation and gaze, but see the ups and downs of the rainy mountain peaks, the mountain road is winding, the pine and ancient cypress on the half slope and the ancient temple pavilions make people admire the vastness of natural creations even more, and feel the low and small of people.

It's close to the village. The village is built on the mountain, so it is called Yushan Village. The name is not pretentious at all. The ancestors relied on the mountain to eat the mountain, benefited from the rain mountain, naturally thanked the blessing of the rain mountain, and named the village with the rain mountain, so that future generations can remember.

Walking into the village, the sound of chickens and dogs barking is endless. The cultivators who came and went, their skin dark but shining with the sun; The old man was basking in the sun, with a satisfied and serene face; The children are bouncing, you are chasing me, and they are even more happy and free!

Huaying couldn't help but think of Meng Haoran's five-character poem "Passing the Old Man's Village": "The edge of the Green Tree Village is oblique to the green mountains and Guo Wai, and the noodle field is opened, and the wine is mulberry and hemp." "It's very appropriate.

"How? Okay here? ”

"That's great! What a fresh air, what a quiet atmosphere, what a comfortable life! "Flower Shadow can't help but be lyrical!

"Sour or not? Ha ha! ”

"You're laughing at me again? Let me make a difference, I'm a Chinese teacher, can't I? ”

"Okay, okay, who dares to say no?"

"Wow, look, is there a spring flowing down the mountain?" Flower Shadow fussed.

"That's right! Would you like to take a sip? ”

"Is that okay?"

"Of course! Just as our car was going to be here, we needed to walk up the hill. ”

"Okay, okay!" Huaying got out of the car and picked up the cup to catch the spring water to drink.

Xue Bin stopped her. "Look, it's fun to drink like this!"

I saw him wash his hands, then put his palms together, put his fingers together, took a large handful of spring water, and drank it: "The peasant family drinks like this, and it is only happy to drink like this!" ”

Huaying learned from Xue Bin's appearance, tried it, and drank it in his mouth, it was cold and sweet, and it was really more wild!

Hua Ying and Xue Bin walked along the rugged mountain road, feeling that their bodies that were moldy on weekdays had become lighter. Yes, it's like a paradise, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and people's hearts are instantly relaxed.

The office of the village committee was built in an open area halfway up the mountain. It's not arrogant, or rather unremarkable. It is the appearance of three farmhouse compounds, and a plaque with red lacquer characters is hung at the door.

Village Chief Sun of the village committee warmly received Hua Ying and Xue Bin: "I have long heard that you will come over today, and the children and parents are happy." ”

Xue Bin said: "I have long heard that Yushan has beautiful scenery and outstanding people, and the children of Yushan Middle School are even more innocent and cute, so the two of us ran over first." Representatives of the Public Security Volunteer Team and the Psychological Counseling Volunteer Team will arrive immediately. ”

Village Chief Sun had a smile on his face: "Welcome, welcome!" Shall we go to school first? ”

"Okay, I'll just ask them to come directly to the school gate to meet us in a while." Xue Bin said.

Village Chief Sun kept introducing along the way.

He said: "Our village has a long history, but the history of being a poor village is not short, as the village head, it is really ashamed!" Relying on government support alone is not a long-term solution! ”

"The traffic in this place is a little blocked, so what do the villagers rely on for a living?" Flower Shadow asked.

"In the past, I used to grow some fruits and grain, but as you can see, it's all mountainous, I don't go on the water, the harvest is not good, and I haven't gotten rid of the situation of relying on the sky for food! In the past two years, many young people have gone out to work, but there are many problems left behind by some children and the elderly! ”

"Yes! I think the scenery here is so good, you can develop eco-tourism, I read the report, some remote mountainous areas, all Chinese herbal medicine, tea trees, we don't know here, can it? ”

"What a good idea! But what exactly is developing, we have to investigate on the spot! Village Chief Sun clapped his hands happily.

"You've won the prize, I'll just say it casually!" Hanakage said, "Is there a lot of kids in that school?" ”

"There are not many children, not as good as the city school, there are five classes in the three grades of the junior high school, which still concentrates students from several surrounding villages! The teachers are all working in one big room! ”

"I know this situation, my former primary school alma mater was a village-run school, and children from the surrounding villages went to school there, but then it was canceled and merged into a school in the town."

"Yes, our town is also planning to renovate the rural school, I don't know when, this Yushan Middle School, which has the same history as Yushan Village, may be gone." Village Chief Sun said with some emotion, "Although the quality of the teachers in the school is not high, the teachers are also nervous, and the promotion rate is not very good, everyone still likes this school very much, they are very emotional, and they all want to save it." ”

"Are teachers nervous?"

"Of course, if you look at the conditions here, excellent teachers are reluctant to come, and teachers here are also thinking about how to leave! There are fewer and fewer teachers! ”

Flower Shadow fell into deep contemplation.

"Teacher Huaying, this way, this is my home, my child is now in the second year of junior high school, and it will be time for the high school entrance examination next year."

"Really? That's going to have to work hard! ”

"You're right, look, we're here! My home is very close to the school! ”

Hua Ying and Xue Bin looked up together, and sure enough, it was Yushan Middle School! The gate of the campus is also dilapidated, but the inscription on the plaque is still very clear, and it must have been repainted recently.

The doors of the school are closed. However, since this is a rural middle school, the location is open, and the entrance area is flat and large, so there are always groups of children playing here. In their minds, the concept of school and home is not clear.

Xue Bin said: "You are busy, village chief, we can just wait for our teammates here." ”

The village chief said, "It's okay, I'll go and inform the sponsored children and parents, and then ask the principal to come over." ”

Village Chief Sun is gone. Huaying and Xue Bin began to enjoy the quality time of integrating with the children. The two of them played glass bombs with the children at the school gate, played with bean paste buns, and shared gifts and snacks with the children. The children were very happy, and Hua Ying and Xue Bin were also very happy.

Huaying thought: What a simple folk style! If you're in a city school, how can these ordinary snacks arouse their interest? And what strangers give, I'm afraid I don't dare to eat it, right?

After playing for a while, I saw volunteer representatives coming from a distance.

As soon as everyone finished greeting each other, Village Chief Sun came with Principal Lan and the sponsored parents and children.

"This is Principal Lan, our old headmaster! Stay in this mountain for the rest of your life and nurture the children in the mountains! Village Chief Sun said.

Principal Lan greeted everyone.

Huaying looked at him: a teacher in his fifties, with a face of wisdom and vicissitudes, but very majestic, he should be respected in the village.

Gifts and grants were distributed to underprivileged children, and the children and parents were very grateful.

Village Chief Sun said: "This time, the volunteers also donated 100 books to our school, which were temporarily placed in the village committee because the car could not be driven, so we should make good use of it and increase our knowledge." ”

The principal shook hands with the volunteers and said emotionally, "I thank you for these children!" We must cherish these resources! ”

After a simple meeting, they are going to separate, because they are not here to thank them, let alone to do publicity, they are brought to the heart, and it is fine, and even everyone only took a group photo, which does not need to be beautiful, just to commemorate.

The group waved goodbye, reluctantly, as if they had been old friends for a long time. Huaying was about to cry, and kept saying in her heart: "I wish you better and better, life better and better, and the beautiful rainy mountain will get better and better!" ”

The volunteers' cars drove away one after another, and Hua Ying and Xue Bin drove very slowly.

Suddenly, they looked at each other and smiled, and stopped the car.

"It's a rare trip, let's have fun, don't alarm anyone, just the two of us!"

The two of them ran wildly along the mountain road, enjoying the scenery along the way. Drink mountain springs when you're thirsty, rest on the stones when you're tired, not to mention how refreshing!

The sun gradually turned west, and Xue Bin said: "Let's go, you can't rely on this!" ”

Huaying said loudly like a nervous voice: "Don't go, this is my hometown in my previous life!" ”

Xue Bin laughed: "That's also from the previous life, I still have to go!" ”

Hua Ying was unconvinced, and said, "I'm going to apply for volunteer teaching, and I'll come back!" ”

The two men began to descend the mountain. On the way, Xue Bin asked, "Do you like it here?" Are you happy here? Do you really want to teach? ”

Hua Ying raised his head and said, "Then you still need to say? ”

Xue Bin thought for a while and continued: "If you really feel happy, it's good to stay here for two years and accumulate some strength!" ”

Huaying was crazy enough, and her brain was clear, and she immediately said in a depressed mood: "You think it's beautiful, I'm too tired, I want to hide and buffer, but how can there be such a good thing, and it won't be my turn to teach?" ”

Xue Bin said: "That's not necessarily, aren't you all hired by the county management school now, there is a shortage of excellent teachers here, as long as you want to, maybe your wishes will come true!" ”

Huaying nodded: "Lend you auspicious words, I'll give an application to try!" ”

After a tired day, when he returned to the apartment, Ning Xin had already cooked the meal.

"How do you feel like the two of us are living together? A family of three, happy! Hanakage said jokingly.

"It's supposed to be a partner! Eat it! Ning Xin said.

"Ning Xin", Hua Ying raised her head and said word by word, "I want to go to the countryside to teach!" ”

"Are you crazy?" Ning Xin didn't swallow a mouthful of rice, and almost squirted out, "Can you eat that bitterness?" Will Xue Bin agree? ”

Flower Shadow looked at her with a smile and nodded heavily, counting as an answer.

Ning Xin was speechless, so he had to say, "Okay, you can really do it, I'm talking about you and Ziyan!" However, it's not something you can go to if you want to! ”

"That's right, that's on point!" Hana-kage sighed and began to slowly tuck the rice into her mouth, thinking about her thoughts.

Always give it a try! She thought to herself.
