Su Siqi suddenly woke up from her sleep, only to feel a tingling pain in her heart, as if someone was holding something sharp and stabbing her heart. In an instant, she opened her eyes, and a layer of sweat was already breaking out on her back.

She had a nightmare, she dreamed that she had fallen into the sea, and the strong waves surrounded her layer by layer, as if to crush her into powder, and the cold sea water poured into her mouth, fishy and astringent, and there was darkness all around, and she was extremely frightened, and kept splashing, not wanting to let herself sink.

But there was something holding her under her feet, and her body fell involuntarily, but there was light under the water, faint gray-white, and you could see fish swimming around her, and her whole person was wrapped in sea water, floating around, but strangely she didn't feel suffocated because of this.

She saw a school of fish not far away, as if swimming around something, and the vague outline looked like a person, and she was overjoyed and rowed towards him with all her might.

There was a man, a man with a slender body, his hair fluttering in the water, his clothes were ragged, showing scars, and blood was oozing out, and she knew that the fish were eating his blood.

When she swam closer and saw his face clearly, she suddenly felt a great pain in her heart as if she had been struck by lightning, and she screamed, and the person woke up.

When she woke up, she also remembered that the person she saw in her dream was Shen Mengqing.

In fact, she hadn't thought of Shen Mengqing for a long time, life in the mountains was full and busy, and the children liked her more and more, filling up her spare time, always inviting her to be a guest at home and cooking all kinds of delicious things for her. They also helped her with the work, cleaned the house, and some girls even secretly helped her with her laundry. Everything touched her so much. She didn't have the leisure time to think about the man.

But suddenly she had such a dream, Su Siqi was very uneasy, and she only felt cold. She pressed all her clothes on the quilt, it was still cold, the temperature difference in the mountains was large, it was okay during the day, and the temperature dropped at night, and the villagers dried the horse dung to burn the pit for heating at night. Teacher Wu also wanted to burn a pot of horse manure for her, but she was disgusted with the smell and politely refused, knowing that she still had to burn a pot of fire in the house, at least it wouldn't be so cold.

It was so cold that she got dressed, and ran around the house, trying to warm herself up, but she didn't feel sleepy at all at the moment, except that Leng Man's mind was thinking about the strange dream just now.

Did something happen to Shen Mengqing? Probably not, he's so powerful, what can happen? Besides, dreams are reversed, and having such a dream proves that he is still good.

Su Siqi breathed a sigh of relief and laughed at herself for being too stupid. In fact, I didn't think he was fake at all, how could I not think about it, there were always some moments, his face suddenly flashed in front of her, but she forced herself not to think about it, forced herself to forget him, probably because of this subconscious depression, so I dreamed of him tonight.

The curtains were very thin, and the gray-white light came in from the outside, and she walked over and pulled the curtains, and the sky turned white, and she faintly heard the sound of bells ringing in the wind, which was the early villagers driving their sheep up the hill to graze.

Su Siqi washed with the water of the hot water bottle, walked outside the house and stretched her body, the uncle who drove the sheep stood on the mountainside, pulled his throat and greeted her: "Teacher Su, get up so early!" ”

Su Siqi replied to him with a smile: "Uncle, I'm not as early as you!" Go up the mountain to herd sheep! ”

"Yes, Mr. Su, come to the house to eat mutton soup during the Chinese New Year."

"Howler!" Su Siqi responded loudly.

The winter vacation is about to begin, and Teacher Liu, who is in charge of leading the team, has already greeted her, and the teaching team will go back to the city on the second day of the winter vacation. But Su Siqi decided to stay. Many children in the village who are in junior high school are facing entrance exams, because they are far away from the middle school in the town, the children have no way to make up the class, and they are all anxious, so the younger siblings give them ideas and ask Su Siqi to make up the class.

In fact, now the education department is expressly prohibiting make-up classes, but the situation here is somewhat special, the teachers are basically free of charge, not for the purpose of making money, students are more active to ask for make-up classes, the enthusiasm for learning is very high, the children here do not have any entertainment games, there are not many TVs at home, they are studying in addition to studying, and they want to be admitted to university, go out of the mountains, and go outside to see the wonderful world.

Su Siqi was touched by them, so she agreed to stay.

The villagers were also touched by her decision, a city girl, who could endure the harsh environment in the mountains, was already admirable, and now in order to make up lessons for the children, she did not go back for a year, which really made them not know what to say. So everyone took good care of her, and whatever delicious food was sent to her.

After Su Siqi made a decision, she made a phone call to her father, of course Su Qirong was not happy, she was not at ease, she didn't go back for the New Year now, the conditions were so difficult, how could her daughter stand it!

Su Siqi comforted him, saying that she was very good here, everyone took good care of her, and she didn't suffer much.

She has always been a character who reports good news but not bad news, and Su Qirong doesn't know if what she said is true or not, but he knows his daughter's temper, and the things she decided will not change, and it is useless to oppose them. I thought that maybe the wound in her heart hadn't completely healed, so it would be better to let her stay for a while. Save her from coming back and knowing about it......

Su Siqi heard her father's silence, thinking that he still disagreed, and was about to persuade again, when Su Qirong suddenly called her, and stopped talking a little.

Su Siqi asked him what was wrong?

Su Qirong was silent again, and only after half a ring did he say that it was okay, let her take care of herself, and hung up the phone.

Su Siqi was a little strange, it didn't seem to be her father's character, but she didn't think about it, thinking that her father was quite complaining about her not going back for the New Year.

Su Siqi has had a particularly meaningful year in the mountains, and it can be regarded as a long experience, compared to the metropolis, the New Year here is prosperous, and the atmosphere is very good. Although it is poor, all kinds of traditions and customs are intact. On the second and fifth days of the year, they began to make New Year's goods, set up a tent in the barn field, set up a cauldron, and the women fried oil nests, crisp rolls, and made New Year's cakes, dumplings, and rice flowers...... It's all delicious, the children are all going to help, Su Siqi is also there, she doesn't know anything, she is responsible for tasting, so I heard her keep calling here and there: "Teacher Su, come and taste the rice flowers that have just come out of the pot, it's fragrant!" ”

"Teacher Su, the New Year's cake is ripe, take one while it's hot."

"Teacher Su, let's have a bowl of dumplings."

"Teacher Su......"

Su Siqi smiled, followed a group of children around the tent, eating this and tasting that, very happy.

On the twenty-ninth day of the year, the collective sacrifice in the village, killing pigs and slaughtering sheep, are all men's business, the scene made Su Siqi stunned, the livestock were disemboweled, it looked a little bloody, but the villagers were full of joy, and some even sang loudly, and the atmosphere was so lively that it seemed to be a frying pan.

In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Su Siqi was very warm, ran the doors of several houses, and drank the rice wine brewed by the villagers, she had always had a good amount of wine, but she was drunk by a few glasses of rice wine on the hot pit of a villager, the pit was too warm and comfortable, Su Siqi slept dark and sweet, and did not wake up until ten o'clock the next day. It was the best sleep she'd had since she entered the mountains, and she felt like she was full of strength.

From the first to the third day of junior high school, the village sang a big drama for three days, although Su Siqi couldn't understand it, she sat in the audience and watched it with relish. After the fourth year of junior high school, the children came to her with gifts, and she each sent a small red envelope, and after sending a stack of red envelopes, she received a table of gifts. Most of it is food, and there are cotton shoes made by skillful housewives, beautifully woven headscarves, and clumsy little tigers made by hand, which are very cute.

Su Siqi was about to leave after the eighth day of the new year, but she was retained by the enthusiastic villagers, and she was sent down the mountain after fifteen, and the mountain sent an agricultural machinery to send her to the station in the county seat, and waited for the car to start, and the people who saw her off reluctantly left.

Su Siqi's eyes were red all the way, there were too many touches in her heart, too much reluctance, when she left, all the children came to see her off, all of them cried so red that their eyes were red, and the villagers also came, holding her hand and talking non-stop, when she left, she still took a motorcycle down the mountain, and when she reached the halfway up the mountain, she also saw the crowd standing in front of the school, waving at her.

Su Siqi also waved at them, goodbye, simple and enthusiastic villagers, goodbye, lovely children, I hope there is still a chance to come back to see you.

Su Siqi did not go back to S City, but went home directly, Su Qirong was naturally very happy when he saw her, and pulled her to ask long and short questions.

Su Siqi looked at her smiling father, suddenly threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly.

In fact, there was another reason why she decided not to come back for the New Year, because she didn't know how to face Su Qirong.

grew up with her father since she was a child, but now she is told that she has no blood relationship with Su Qirong, but so what? The affection between them is far stronger than that of a father and daughter, and no one can separate them. Therefore, she didn't plan to tell Su Qirong the truth of the matter.

Su Qirong was stunned for a moment, he hadn't seen his daughter be coquettish like this for a long time, and he patted Su Siqi's back with relief: "What's the matter, Sisi, are you suffering outside." ”

Su Siqi shook her head, and her voice was low: "I miss you." ”

"Silly boy, come back if you want to be dad, I know you can't be idle, but this time stay at home for a longer time, don't go anywhere, and spend a few quiet days with dad."

"Hmm." Su Siqi said: "In the future, I will stay at home and never go anywhere." ”

Su Qirong let go of her, "Sisi, are you serious?" Not going back to S City? ”

"I'll go back when Xiao Xiao is about to give birth, if she wants, I want to take her to our house for confinement, okay, Dad?"

"Of course, the house is too deserted, a few more people come to live, and Dad can't ask for it!" Su Qirong said with a smile: "Don't look at your father when he's old, it's not ambiguous to take care of children." ”

Su Siqi laughed, "Okay, anyway, we are inexperienced, the baby will be handed over to you, you godfather is not in vain." ”
