The road is under your feet, how to walk, it is up to you, you can only walk by yourself, follow the footsteps of others, there will never be a future!

——— inscription

The sun sets at dusk, the wind is light and the clouds are light.

Longtan Village, back mountain, towering Weiran

Halfway up the mountain, a clear stream descends vertically, like a white rope, hitting the stones below.

The stream is babbling and meandering, skirting a bamboo forest.

Outside the bamboo forest, a three-story wooden building is quiet and elegant.

Around the wooden building, birds are singing and flowers are fragrant.

In particular, there is a rose flower, which is particularly dazzling.

The stream flows around the house, past a laurel forest, and finally into a pond.

The wind blows gently, and the water in the pool is sparkling.

Jiang Ruoxue lightly stepped on the plank by the pool and walked towards the small building.

I don't know when, Qin Yuyou has disappeared.

At this time, Ruoxue is the only one.

With blazing eyes, she came to the bottom of the small building and was instantly surprised when she saw the rose under the corner.

It's August, and it's amazing to see the roses blooming.

"When ......"

At this moment, the sound of a piano was heard.

Suddenly, Ruoxue closed her eyes.

Downstairs, she stood with her hands in her hands, her long hair rising in the wind, flowing beautifully.

The sound of the piano continues.

Sometimes like the rushing water, sometimes like the song of birds in the mountains, sometimes like the autumn wind, sometimes like a swallow returning to the nest.

Ruoxue's expression also fluctuated with the ups and downs of the piano.

I don't know how long it took, but the song ended.

Ruoxue slowly opened her eyes, her beautiful eyes flashed, and the aftertaste was endless.

"Paul Simon's classic song, The Sound of Silence!" Ruoxue whispered.

The point is that this is the theme song of the movie "The Graduate".

The person in the room, playing this tune, the intention is self-evident!

Is it to congratulate her on receiving her Ph.D. as a welcome to her?

"She, sure enough, is a strange woman! is worthy of being a living legend, and his senior brother is worthy of being a fairy couple! ”

Ruoxue chuckled, her mind relaxed, and there was no more tension when she first came.

She stepped into the house.

In the room, in front of a piano, a blue figure suddenly looked back.

She has a delicate face, an ethereal and dusty posture, like a fairy. When she looked back, she smiled slightly, like a spring breeze.

"What a beautiful woman!" Ruoxue admired in her heart, but she couldn't give birth to a trace of jealousy.

Is she Chen Xi?

"It's coming!" Chen Xi spoke, his voice was like a lark, very easy-going, and patted the bench under him, "Come and sit!" ”

After a moment of silence, Ruoxue walked over and sat beside Chen Xi.

"Yuyou said, you also study music, try?" Pointing to the piano, Chen Xi said with a smile.

"Don't ......" Ruoxue hurriedly waved her hand, "I won't be ugly!" ”

What are you kidding, this person next to her, when she was eight years old, had already passed the eighth grade of the piano, and now she is a veritable piano master, how dare she get an axe?

It's just that his people are quiet and have no quarrel with the world, so his reputation is not obvious outside.

"Okay!" Chen Xi chuckled, not reluctantly.

asked casually: "Yuyou said, when you go to the countryside to teach, you don't just regard it as a job, but as a career, a career that makes you struggle for a lifetime, right?" ”

"Yes!" Ruoxue nodded heavily.

"And what position do you want?" Chen Xi asked.

"Forehead......" Ruoxue was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but stop.

She really hadn't thought about it.

After a while, Ruoxue said: "I think, I should start as an ordinary teacher, step by step!" ”

"Wouldn't that be too condescending?" Chen Xi said, looking at Ruoxue's eyes, his gaze was like a torch, "You are a real top student, you are in the same school as Brother Yuan, you are in the same department, and the professor who guides you is still the same person!" ”

Ruoxue's heart trembled.

What kind of eyes are they? Like the sea of stars, it is deep and far-reaching, and it can see through the past and the future.

She knows it all?

On the way to come, she touched her bottom cleanly?

"You also graduated from No. 1 Middle School!" Chen Xi sighed lightly, "Unknowingly, Brother Yuan has been gone for seven years, if it has been eight years since he left Jiaotong University, why are you suffering?" ”

"Sister Chen Xi, don't get me wrong!" Ruoxue hurriedly said.

"You don't have to explain anything!" Chen Xi smiled and took Ruoxue's hand, "At that time, you were still a child, in fact, many people are like this, autumn dreams, sleep, I am used to it......"

Ruoxue heard this, and her eyes widened.

Chen Xi continued: "What I want to say is that the road is under your feet, how to walk depends on yourself, and you can only walk by yourself, follow the footsteps of others, and you will never have a future!" ”

Ruoxue was shocked.

"I came to Dawn School to do my best to do something for the kids! There are high and low positions, but there is no difference between high and low, as long as you do your best, you will be worthy of your heart, worthy of heaven and earth! ”

"You philosophists, you always talk about a lot of truths, one set of things! Brother Yuan is the same, but he's okay, he's a doer, and he does what he says! ”

Chen Xi said, "You have to put everything into practice, and you have to do it really to know that things are possible and can't be done!"

It is a blessing for the children that you can come to Dawn School, and I am also very happy, but if you are just a conscientious ordinary teacher, then your talent will not be displayed. ”

"That'...... So what can I do? Ruoxue asked tentatively.

Chen Xi patted the back of Ruoxue's hand, stood up, limped, and Shi Shiran walked out of the small building.

If the snow doesn't understand what it means, she follows behind her.

When he came to the door, Chen Xi's eyes were confused, looking at the halfway up the mountain behind.

"He's buried there!"

"He? Are you talking about Senior Brother? Ruoxue exclaimed.

"Hmm!" Chen Xi nodded and said softly, "I will accompany him for a while every day, I'm afraid that he will be alone!" I was discussing with him just now, and I said, your little sister is here, what do you arrange for her to do? Finally, one answer ......"

"What answer?" Ruoxue asked nervously.

"I want you, to be the principal of Dawn School, and to manage all the affairs of all branches in Sichuan and Guizhou!"

"What?" Ruoxue was shocked, "Isn't this what Principal Qin has been managing?" Well done, and, I'm a newcomer, and if I have qualifications or not, who can convince me? ”

"Yuyu is an architect! She's not a good fit! Chen Xi shook his head, "When I handed it over to her, it was just a helpless move, to catch the ducks on the shelves, Dawn School has been seven years, to get to this point today, it is not easy, to engage in education, to seek stability and not to rush for quick success, this boat, carrying the dreams of thousands of children, can not be turned over, I need a person with real talent and real learning to coordinate the overall situation!" ”

"Then you can do it too!" Ruoxue said.

"I have other things!" Chen Xi shook his head again.

Ruoxue was silent.

Today's incident was far beyond her expectations, she never expected that Chen Xi would entrust her with a heavy responsibility just after she met, what a trust, what a courage!

Looking at the slender and delicate figure beside her, Ruoxue now truly understands why Chen Xi is loved and supported by so many people.

This is not only due to her outstanding ability, but more importantly, her unparalleled personality.

As a high-ranking person, you don't have to do everything yourself, but you must have the wisdom to know people and use your talents to my advantage.

"Before that, though, you go somewhere first!" Chen Xi said suddenly.

"Where?" Ruoxue asked subconsciously.

"To the west of Longtan, a hundred miles away, there is a town called Panshan! Last year, I set up a branch school there, with only three grades in junior high school, but there were very few students! ”

Chen Xi said, "I provide teaching funds, most students can go to school for free, and there are the best teaching facilities, but there is no effect, the situation over there is complicated, you need to go to the field to mobilize those children to go to school, this matter, there is a long way to go, do you have confidence?" ”

"I'll do my best!" Ruoxue said in a deep voice.

"Hmm!" Chen Xi nodded lightly, "Go there, just temper yourself, what you are lacking is experience and practice, when you come back, you will immediately take the position of principal, I think, at that time, no one will have an opinion!" ”

"I want to ask Sister Chen Xi a word!" Ruoxue's eyes flickered, and she stopped talking.

"You ask!" Chen Xi said with a smile.

"We just met, why do you believe in me so much? Regardless of the rest, just talking about ability, I just came out of school......"

"You still lack faith!" Chen Xi interrupted Ruoxue's words, "Didn't I come from you at this time?" I didn't even go to college, I've always longed for it, but it's out of reach! ”

"You are you, there is only one Chen Xi in the whole world!" Ruoxue muttered.

"Giggles!" Chen Xi became petite, "I have a righteous little sister, from Xiangxi, who is young in the grade, very arrogant, and poses all day long as if there is nothing she can't do in the world!" ”

"I see!" Wakayuki nodded.

"Got it?" Chen Xi asked, "What do you know?" ”

"You're telling me to have faith in myself!" Ruoxue said.

"Do you know where to start?" Chen Xi asked again.

"Every family, every student, has their own reasons, so I don't come to school, I have to go deeper, understand what they think, what they need, in order to find the entry point!"

Ruoxue said, "Sister Chen Xi said just now, the situation over there is complicated, it may be the ideology, customs, environment, and economic situation, etc., to mobilize, it is useless to be reasonable, you have to integrate into them, first let others recognize you, and then you can consider other things!" ”

"Good!" Chen Xi said with relief, "Do it boldly, if you need me, contact me directly, don't be afraid, you are doing an extremely glorious career, one day, you will be proud of yourself!" ”

"I can do it!" Ruoxue secretly clenched her fists.

"I hope that one day in the future, when we go out in Ancheng and even the entire Qiandi, those children can also say to the world in a dignified manner, we are not barbarians, not Diao people! This is Brother Yuan's wish, and it is also the purpose of my school! ”

Chen Xi said, carrying his hands behind his back, limping, and walking halfway up the mountain.

"You are at your own convenience, treat this place as your home, Xiao Yong will come over and pick you up to eat at the old house in a while, my son is also over there, if you don't know anything, you can ask him, I'm going to accompany Brother Yuan!"
