"Hey, Meng Ting." A shrill female voice shouted. This shout frightened Meng Ting, and instantly woke her back to reality from the network of thoughts about Gao Wenxiang. Meng Ting looked at the big tree not far away, and a woman was pushing a child to stand there. This is a childhood sister in a village of Meng Ting, whose nickname is Sasha. She is the same age as Meng Ting, and before graduating from junior high school, she chose to abandon school and work, and after working for a few years, she married a man from another town when Meng Ting was in her junior year, and now she has her own daughter.

Meng Ting saw that it was Sasha, her heart stirred joy, she walked forward quickly and shouted Sasha's name, and at that moment the air was full of Meng Ting's shouts and Sasha's response.

Sasha is a very enthusiastic person, and when she saw Meng Ting, who had snow-white skin and was wearing a white dress, she made a joke.

"Tingting, you are simply a star sister coming to our world."

Meng Ting knew that this childhood sister had a straightforward and humorous personality, and when she heard this, the two laughed at each other.

The daughter in the stroller was as lively and cheerful as her mother, with bright little eyes and a childlike smile, all the time looking at the beautiful Meng Ting in front of her. When Meng Ting saw this lovely little daughter, she couldn't help but hold her in her arms and tease her.

One is far away in Shanghai to study and develop, and the other is living an ordinary life after marriage in a small town in the mountains. After not seeing each other for a few years, it was naturally difficult to suppress the joy in their hearts, and the two stood under the big banyan tree and chatted freely. The pace of time is always so fast, and before you know it, it has taken you and me to another place.

Sasha knew that Meng Ting in front of her had experienced countless pains and sorrows in the past few years, and when she thought of this, she would always feel a trace of sympathy. In the process of chatting, this sympathy is even stronger every time there is a moment of silence and the occasional breeze blows.

"I don't want to stay in Shanghai, and there's nothing wrong with returning to my hometown to develop." Sasha said with a smile on her face.

Meng Ting nodded calmly.

"Sasha, since everything has passed, I am actually slowly relieved for such a long time. You're right, maybe the bustling metropolis is not suitable for me, and it is not a good choice to come back and develop. ”

At this moment, although Meng Ting wanted to confide in her childhood sisters about the depression in her heart, she couldn't help crying in front of her children when she saw Sasha's lovely daughter. What's more, after the rain is a rainbow, today is also the day when I return to my hometown to start a new journey in life, I can no longer think about the sadness of the past, and I must only look forward to the future.

"When are you going to pick up Gao Wenxiang?" Sasha once again broke the silence that had paused for a moment.

"I'll pick it up tomorrow."

Sasha looked at Meng Ting, who was looking forward to the future in her eyes: "It's not easy for you to get to where you are today, cherish each other." So many experiences have passed, and they will only get better and better in the future. ”

Meng Ting nodded to Sasha with a smile, and when she heard this, a sense of happiness containing warmth slowly flowed into her heart, which may be a comfort to the soul that has been hurt for a long time.

Meng Ting and Sasha chatted freely under the tree, sharing the trivial things of life in the past few years, and more than an hour passed unconsciously. When they separated, Sasha told Meng Ting that now the two of them were in their hometown together, and they would get together as soon as Meng Ting had time to stabilize herself.

On the way back to the village, I met a lot of villagers, and when I saw Meng Ting dressed in a fresh and elegant dress, I couldn't help but boast.

Meng Ting is an only child, and it is rare for people in the mountains to have such a situation. Both parents are tea farmers, with dozens of acres of tea plantations, and the family background in the whole village is relatively well-off. Meng Ting has a kind personality since she was a child, excellent in learning, and willing to endure hardships and work hard, her parents also have high hopes for her, and they are not stingy in the education of Meng Ting, only hoping that their daughter will be able to go out of the mountains in the future and live a new life in the prosperous world outside.

When the grandmother heard that the girl was coming, she was naturally very happy. Meng Ting also followed the local customs and changed out of her white dress. In the afternoon of this day, Meng Ting walked with her parents to the tea garden at home, under the spring sun, full of vitality, in the tea garden in the mountains felt like snuggling in the embrace of nature, enjoying the wonderful air, looking at the eye-catching greenery, which is the closest distance to the god of nature.

That night, despite the journey of thousands of miles, Meng Ting did not feel any tiredness. So, Meng Ting took the familiar photo and walked towards the familiar hillside in front of the village. The night was very gentle, and the sky was full of stars. This hillside is where Meng Ting and the three little playmates in the photo used to gather, from childhood to adulthood, from childhood to teenagers, it can be said that the hillside is not big or small carries many memories. On this night, looking out over the mountains, the scattered lights in the house are dotted among them, making people feel quiet, and the silence is full of a certain poetic feeling. The stars are so brilliant and the stars are so beautiful, it's hard to enjoy this mysterious wonderland filled with starlight in the neon-lit metropolis.

Meng Ting walked up the starlit hillside, and fireflies were flying in the distance around her. Standing on this hillside and looking up at the stars in the night sky is clearer and brighter, as if the stars above your head are within reach. In the unique situation of heaven and earth, man and stars, everything is so memorable, there is no hustle and bustle of the past, only the tranquility of the stars; There is no impetuousness of the past, only a little story between me and the starry sky; There is no sadness and loneliness, the simple life in the mountains is like the stars in front of you, and the original world is the moonlight box that blooms freely in the depths of a person's soul.

Sitting on the hillside covered with low grass, with the bright starlight, Meng Ting looked at the photos she had been carrying. I saw myself on the far left, when I was eighteen years old, wearing plain clothes and a ponytail, looking like a schoolgirl in the mountains. The second on the left, Meng Ting slowly fell on Gao Wenxiang, although the clothes were old at that time, it did not affect the handsome posture of this handsome young man, flat head and tall, with good facial features, and a confident smile on his face. Gao Wenxiang For Meng Ting, he can always give girls a rare charm, and he still has an indescribable temperament.

The third person in the photo is a naturally beautiful "Xi Shi Beauty", whose name is Liu Jingjing, and Meng Ting are neighbors before and after. She was slender, with skin like snow, long hair and a shawl, eyes as bright as clear springs, and cheeks as bright as pink. Liu Jingjing not only has outstanding appearance, but also has a clear and good voice, and everywhere she sings, there is applause. She is good at color and art, and she has always been surrounded by suitors. The last person in the photo is an honest-looking boy - Wang Letian. He has a dark face, a thin physique, and an expression of inferiority in his eyes. Wang Letian is a well-known poor household, his father is paralyzed, and his mother depends on farming for a living. Because of his background, he has formed an inferiority complex since he was a child, and he is silent in the crowd. For a long time, there are only three friends around Meng Ting, Gao Wenxiang, and Liu Jingjing, in Wang Letian's own words, only these three people never discriminate against him, never use him as a tool for jokes, and when they are in trouble, the three friends can always lend a hand.

Staring at the photos, not only the colorful memories ripple in my heart with the night breeze, but the sadness and loneliness that have gone away during the day have made a comeback again. Through this photo, which carries simple happiness, Meng Ting seems to have re-seen the once unforgettable bits and pieces, from childhood to youth, from joy and frolic to trivial matters, all of which evoke all kinds of nostalgia for the memories of the past. In a person's life, sometimes only the reality of pain can reflect the beauty of the past. Facing the past that can only be missed, and powerless to change the embarrassment that has happened in the present, maybe this is life. Everyone has an unforgettable past in the depths of their hearts, some of which are happy and some of which are poignant in retrospect. And Meng Ting belongs to the latter, a thorough latter.

In the past few years, for Meng Ting, the way to soothe the pain is to choose to pick up the happy moment before the pain. Meng Ting has always been a noophile, valuing the feelings between people, but this personality will always bear a greater and more lasting burden than an optimist in the face of pain.

Tonight's starry sky seems to be frozen in this moment, shining brightly. Once upon a time, Meng Ting and the four of them liked to gather on this hillside on a spring or midsummer night to chat about gossip and trivial matters in life. Once upon a time, happy moments came here to share, and when unhappy people came here to "complain". In Meng Ting's heart, the starry sky is the most beautiful symbol in the mountain world. It's just that now, the starry sky has always been, but the reality is no longer human.

Meng Ting got up and looked around, everything was so quiet, compared to the busy traffic and colorful rhythm of life in the metropolis, the way of life in the mountains was to enjoy the simplicity of paradise. Two months ago, when the footsteps of the season were still fixed in winter, a few snowfalls in the mountains, painting the green mountains white***. With the arrival of the spring breeze, the snow begins to melt, and the mountain is once again restored to its former greenness. The snowflakes melt and become a source of gifts between heaven and earth, nourishing thousands of trees and flowers in the mountains. Meng Ting is a girl who loves white and snowflakes, and she has always believed that the tea leaves poured after the snowflakes melt are always the most natural and delicious, because the tea leaves absorb the snow in the mountains, the air in the mountains and the water sources in the mountains.

That night, Meng Ting stayed until nine o'clock before returning home to rest. The color of the starlight has not faded, and tomorrow is another time when the flowers will bloom again, and a new life and a new journey will begin. In the days since, Meng Ting has time to write about us under the stars, entrusting a portrayal of happiness and freezing the past moments.

Meng Ting's primary school years were spent in a Hope Primary School in the mountains, with less than 50 teachers and students in the school. Although the sparrow is small, it has all five organs. Most of the teachers in the school are college graduates who support the mountainous areas, and they all come here with the concept of dedication, and their vigorous vitality has always influenced the children in the mountains where Meng Ting lives. It is through these young teachers that many children in the mountains learn about the outside world, even from the snowy north to the blue sea and beaches in the south, from the coast of the East China Sea to the Gobi Desert in the west. These young teachers have always been deeply loved by the people in the mountains, because because of them, parents have hope to pin on their children.

I remember that at that time, there was a teacher named Guo Meiqi, who graduated from East China Normal University. This female teacher is very literate, and the cabinet in her office is always full of all kinds of prose novels. Meng Ting and Liu Jingjing have always been loved and cared for by this female teacher, and Meng Ting often heard from her about Shanghai Beach, thousands of miles away. Teacher Guo Meiqi will often share with Meng Ting some of her past studies and lives at East China Normal University, the night of the Bund, the Oriental Pearl, the financial center, and the buildings, which are simply a dream paradise for girls who grow up in the mountains. As soon as she has her own free time, Meng Ting's childhood heart is constantly fantasizing about the big world of Shanghai, and what a wonderful experience it should be to stroll through the bustling city streets. At that time, many homes in the mountains did not have televisions, and they were ignorant of the changes that were taking place in the outside world. Meng Ting remembers that it was not until she was in junior high school that the people in the mountains caught up with the express train of social development, and color television sets began to settle in her hometown. In her spare time, Meng Ting would also ask Ms. Guo Meiqi what children in Shanghai usually play. Whenever Ms. Guo Meiqi talks about the space museum, zoo, and science and technology museum, Meng Ting always longs for envy and fantasy in her heart, and plants the seeds of going to a distant place in the depths of her young heart.

On weekends, the young teacher Guo Meiqi especially likes to pick up her camera to take pictures in the mountains, and she has taken pictures of blooming flowers, green shade in summer, rolling mountains, scenes of people working in the mountains, fields blown by the breeze, sunrise in the early morning in the mountains, snow-covered peaks, and natural scenery with birds singing and flowers. Whenever I walked into her bedroom, the walls were always covered with pictures she had taken. The vivid colors of the photographs are like natural symbols that exude vitality, reflecting the whole room like a condensed world. Later, Meng Ting heard that her teacher Guo also won the photography award. Not only is the person beautiful and beautiful, but also rich in the feelings of poetic life, for a long time, Meng Ting has loved this teacher very much, and regarded her as the object of study and worship in her heart. Many times, Meng Ting often borrowed extracurricular books from her and listened to her talk about "Grimm's Fairy Tales" and "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea". When it is harvest season, Meng Ting will always bring the tea and fruits she grows at home, let her teachers taste them, and enjoy this gift of nature and the fruits of labor. Of course, several other teachers in the school will also receive the gratitude of the villagers in the mountains, and the harvest season has become a lively temple fair in the school.

At that time, there was a kind of doubt that always existed in Meng Ting's heart. Teacher Guo Meiqi has always shown great love and yearning for the life in Dashan, and at some times told her and Liu Jingjing how much she loves the life in front of her. The young Meng Ting thought that the life in the mountains was so different from that of the big city, whether it was food, clothing, housing, transportation, or children's play, it could not be compared, but why did the teacher in front of her behave abnormally. When people are children, they can't see the essence inside the surface, and when they see the essence, they will always not stop at the passing time. This is the most profound insight that Meng Ting has come to after many years.

After talking about her teacher, Meng Ting wanted to talk about her good sister, Liu Jingjing. She grew up with Meng Ting since she was a child, and like Meng Ting's family, her parents were also tea farmers. In childhood, the two sisters grew up together and played together. They both regard each other's homes as their own, sometimes Meng Ting sleeps in Liu Jingjing's house, and sometimes Liu Jingjing sleeps in Meng Ting's house. Liu Jingjing, who is naturally beautiful, has always been boasted of by several villages in the mountains and mountains, and even when she didn't graduate from junior high school, someone came to say goodbye. Unlike Meng Ting, a quiet beauty, Liu Jingjing has always been a smiling "living treasure" girl, and most of the time she spent with her was Meng Ting being an audience. The vivid character of the sisters next to her made Meng Ting never seem to know what troubles were in the mountains, only countless laughter.

Meng Ting is a hardworking and capable girl at home, while Liu Jingjing rarely puts her mind to these places. Liu Jingjing was born with a love for vocal music and dance, and has had a dream of stardom since she was a child. In Meng Ting's memories, whether she is on the way home from school or playing in the wild in her spare time, her singing can be heard. Liu Jingjing's singing voice often intoxicates Meng Ting, because with the company of this "twin sister", she always felt that although she was in the mountains, she was still colorful and infinite, with singing and laughter. At that time, children who loved music relied on tape recorders to listen to beautiful sounds. Later, after the life of the people in the mountains gradually improved, Liu Jingjing, who had a TV at home, was even more fascinated by the singer's concert program, and often studied in front of the TV. In the eyes of her parents, she is a lazy girl, but in the pursuit of vocal art, she seems to be extremely persistent and persistent. In Meng Ting's eyes, her sister is full of positive energy to pursue her goals. Meng Ting often played late at Liu Jingjing's house, and sometimes even had dinner at Liu Jingjing's house. The washing of the years has brought the two sisters together, you have me, I have you, no intention to communicate, no words to confide.

Meng Ting's deepest memory is standing on a small hillside where you can see the bright moon in the sky and the sky full of stars, it is here that has become a place where Meng Ting and Liu Jingjing often get together to chat, and it has become a place where Meng Ting listens to Liu Jingjing's singing. Surrounded by stars, listening to beautiful girls singing under the moon, how can the picturesque life not be memorable. Although the life of a child in the mountains is not as colorful as that of a child in the metropolis, this simple and simple happiness also gives the soul a place to relax and live.

The warmth of spring and summer melts the frost of autumn and winter, and the pace of time always makes people nostalgic when it is already a thing of the past. The moment of graduating from primary school gradually came to Meng Ting and Liu Jingjing, after entering junior high school, they had to go to the town dozens of miles away to study, food, clothing and accommodation in school, and they could only come back once a week. On the eve of graduating from primary school, Meng Ting has an unforgettable memory, that is, a happy day spent in the mountains with teacher Guo Meiqi before the start of junior high school.

On that day, the pace of the season was fixed at the end of summer, and although the early autumn was approaching, the heat in the mountains was still not clear. Ms. Guo Meiqi took two of her favorite students to play in the mountains for a whole day, and she was full of excitement with her camera to take pictures of Meng Ting and Liu Jingjing, which reflected the beautiful scenery in the mountains, which was particularly beautiful. On that day, the female teacher, who liked the two sisters very much, did not say a word of sadness, but kept telling them the beauty of the mountain scenery, where it was and where it was. In addition, he also talked about how to study after junior high school, such as taking care of his room and board when he is alone. As early as two months ago, teacher Guo Meiqi told Meng Ting that after she started junior high school, she would leave the school in the mountains and go back to prepare for the graduate exam. Although Meng Ting was small at that time, the girl's heart was a place where emotions gathered, and the female teacher who had been with her for several years was about to be separated from herself all of a sudden, and there was always unspeakable pain in her heart. Throughout the day, Meng Ting was immersed in the emotions of imminent separation.

"Teacher, when will we see you again?" Liu Jingjing asked suddenly.

Meng Ting's eyes stared at her teacher, although the question was not asked by her, she cared more about the teacher's answer than Liu Jingjing.

Teacher Guo Meiqi calmed down for a moment and smiled at the two beautiful girls: "Don't worry, you want to see me in the future There is a chance." ”

Listening to such soothing words, Meng Ting and Liu Jingjing did not show joy. Expectations and expectations can sometimes be terrible, either as one wishes or as one is disappointed. Although Meng Ting was young at that time, she still couldn't arouse a trace of excitement in her heart, perhaps the sadness of parting was too strong, covering the dawn of looking forward to the future reunion. The child's heart is not only pure and simple, but the feelings that permeate it are always the most sincere, without any other ingredients. As a teacher, Guo Meiqi naturally understands what Meng Ting and Liu Jingjing are thinking at this time. So, in addition to continuing to soothe their hearts, I tried to shift the topic of separation as much as possible, and described the nature in front of them with them, so that my breath could wander on the mountain peaks to my heart's content.

From sunrise to sunset, the three teachers and students wandered through the mountains, and even ate the yogurt and bread brought by Ms. Guo Meiqi for lunch.

Countless people rushed to the moonlight, sweating and climbing, just to witness the magnificent beauty of standing on the top of the mountain to watch the sunrise. But sometimes the sun goes down, and it is still a sight. The afterglow pours in, the warm light shines, and the mountain peaks resemble golden castles. The tranquility of the mountains blends with the light of the setting sun, allowing the beating heartstrings to enjoy a moment of tranquility at this moment. Meng Ting still remembers that the sunset that day was particularly beautiful, and the three teachers and students walked down the mountain to meet the sunset. In the poems and songs, how many literati and writers express their sorrow and sorrow with the setting sun, looking at the teacher who is about to leave, Meng Ting's childhood heart can still feel the loss from the bottom of her heart. It's just that this kind of loss can only be described by the word uncomfortable, and I can't find any other words.
