In April, three school-chartered buses carrying more than 80 students and three teachers from three departments set off from the east gate of the university to an unknown location.

The car passed through the bustling city, through the urban-rural junction, and walked on the asphalt road. Tall green trees on the roadside, crops and woods in the distance, everywhere is full of life. There was a burst of laughter in the car, and everyone seemed to be going to spring outing instead of planting trees.

The convoy drove for three hours and stopped at a remote road. As the squad leader of Class 1, Yang Jun took the lead in jumping out of the car and shouted,

"Everybody's out of the car!"

The class leader of Class 2 did not come to plant trees, and Mr. Liu, the counselor of Class 2 of the team, asked Yang Jun to take on the work of the two classes.

The people in the other two cars also got out of the car with cheers, and when Yang Jun turned around, he saw a girl in the flow of people who got out of the car.

This girl is of medium height, slender and well-proportioned, with neat short hair, wearing jeans and a black T-shirt, and the whole person exudes a quiet and elegant temperament. She turned her head, looked in the direction of Yang Jun, and softly greeted the male and female classmates in the history class.

Her facial features are delicate and small, only her eyes are big and shiny, not the kind of bright and flamboyant beauty, but it makes people feel warm to the heart, and her shallow smile reveals calmness, calmness and inviolability.

"Squad leader, where are you going?" A tall and silly girl asked her, and she raised her hand and pointed in Yang Jun's direction.

Yang Jun turned around and continued to walk forward with his own people, still floating in his mind with the figure of this girl.

He had seen this girl at school. Last semester, when Yang Jun passed by the playground, a group of girls were in physical education class, and she sat on a cement platform by the playground, waiting for class to end.

At that time, she sat there quietly, gentle and well-behaved, and a little autumn sun shone on her through the dappled leaves, reflecting her fair-skinned and handsome face.

Yang Jun stopped and looked at her from a distance, feeling a heartbeat. Thanks to a pair of eyes that were given by his parents to be like those of a pilot, he remembered her appearance.

It is said that girls who are not feeling well will sit aside and rest when they encounter strenuous activities during physical education class.

After walking for 10 minutes on the path, the team entered a small courtyard surrounded by greenery, with a small two-story building and a pool table.

The students walked into the dormitories assigned in the small building, where the boys lived on the first floor and the girls lived on the second floor. They received the tools of labor, a straw hat, a pair of gauze gloves, a military kettle, a tool like a small hoe called a pickaxe, and a shovel.

This time, there were students from three departments who came to plant trees, and the boys all lived on one floor of the school and knew each other well. Yang Jun, Zhang Wei and two girls from class 2 formed a 4-person tree planting group, and there were too few men in class 2.

It's a deserted place. Apart from this small courtyard, there are no other buildings or people around. A few boys kicked the ball in the small yard and kicked it out of the yard, only to find it in the crops outside the yard.

Soon in the evening, after a simple dinner, Yang Jun and several boys from the history class, including his fellow countrymen in Province H, played billiards outside.

"Your squad leader is a woman?" Yang Jun hit a shot and pretended to ask casually.

"Yes, there are a lot of girls in our class." The fellow held the club and shook it against the table. He has already lost several games to Yang Jun, who played a lot in high school.

"What's your name?"

"It's called Shen Qing, Shen of Shenyang, and Qing Shui Qing. What's wrong? "Many of the boys in the history class have a bit of the pedantic atmosphere of traditional literati, including Yang Jun's fellow countrymen.

"Nothing, it's your turn."

Early the next morning, the tree-planting team drove out from the courtyard. Unexpectedly, they walked for an hour, until everyone came to a small group of hills full of rubble.

The comrades of the public management department occupy a mountain bag, where they can only see the Zhiyou of the history class from a distance, and Yang Jun cannot see Shen Qing's figure.

Each tree-planting team had the task of digging 10 pits a day, and after the boys had dug the pits in the rocks with pickaxes, the girls were responsible for filling in some soil. Usually, the girls don't have to work much, and they are responsible for cheering and handing out water on the side. Yang Jun dug the pit hard, he felt that this was what a man should do.

However, the tree planting team was not given the responsibility of planting trees, and it was said that the students were afraid that the students would not waste the saplings, which made Yang Jun a little dissatisfied. Are you here to dig a pit or to plant a tree?

By noon, the team spent another hour walking back to the base, and the actual digging and walking only took up most of the day. After lunch, because we got up too early and the hardships of walking and labor, everyone mainly slept in the afternoon, and after getting up, we began to play cards, billiards, Kan Dashan and other entertainment activities.

This is repeated every day, and everyone has a great time. One day between digging a pit and resting, the girls in the same group brought a camera and said, "Yang Jun, let's take a picture of you too!" ”

So Yang Jun stood on the top of the bare mountain bag and put it on the pose, a girl from the neighboring group straddled her red backpack on Yang Jun's shoulder, and another girl hung a kettle with a red rope around his neck, Zhang Wei put on his sunglasses for him, Li Shan put a straw hat on Yang Jun, and Pei Zhengang carried his shovel on his shoulder.

Yang Jun stood there wearing gauze gloves and carrying a shovel with a pickaxe, not only the high-spirited demeanor of working people after labor, but also the cynicism of hippies. In the midst of laughter, the camera clicked, leaving this photo of everyone working together.

Yang Jun understood what the senior brother said. In this beautiful, lazy and relaxed environment, a large group of young men and women are easy to collide with sparks in the day and night.

More than a week passed quickly, and the bear had hooked up with a female student, the students of the other two departments were also paired with each other, and even the two young teachers, a man and a woman, often disappeared in the afternoon.

Teacher Liu frowned and said to Yang Jun, "Why haven't we been paired yet?" "It seems that no one fell in love during the tree planting period, and his work was not done properly.

Towards the end, Jiang Yong, a Beijing boy who behaved like a child in the history class, and Guo Ying, a girl in class 2, Yang Jun's colleague in the student union of the department, got along, and Mr. Liu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

A Beijing girl in the same group told Yang Jun's fortune that Yang Jun would have several girlfriends. Yang Jun felt helpless about this, he didn't know where this one was, how many more?

Besides, Yang Jun still has no concept of how to establish and maintain this intimate relationship between men and women, he will only consider the problem from his own point of view, and he will not think much about what the girls think.

On the afternoon of the last day, Yang Jun walked out of the small building and saw Shen Qing and a girl clumsily playing billiards, so he went to the billiard table to watch.

The ball was always running around uncontrollably, and the girl didn't play for a while before she said to Shen Qing, "Oops, it's not fun." ”

Yang Jun smiled and said to Shen Qing, "Why don't I play a game with you?" ”

"But I'm not going to fight." Shen Qing's big, round eyes always make people feel glowing.

"Neither will I." Yang Jun glared at Shen Qing with wide eyes and looked at Shen Qing sincerely.

He skillfully put the balls together, posed them in a triangle, and then put on a good posture, snapped the ball and broke it up, and said to Shen Qing with a smile,

"It's your turn."

"You really haven't hit?" Shen Qing smiled in surprise and looked at Yang Jun suspiciously.

"yes, just like you." Yang Jun's face did not change.

Yang Jun told Shen Qing that he should bend his front legs, straighten his back legs, cross his left index finger and thumb to hold the club, aim his eyes in the direction of the club, and then hold the club with his right hand and exert force forward.

Shen Qing hit the white ball with a rod according to Yang Jun's words and hit the target ball, although it didn't go in, it was much better than before.

In the next few strokes, Yang Jun hit a few beautiful balls and quickly finished his ball, while Shen Qing didn't score any of them.

"You really haven't hit?"

"yes, I can't lie to you."

Teacher Liu appeared at the door of the small building and greeted loudly, "It's time to eat!" ”

So everyone came to the cafeteria. Because it was the last day, the dishes were much more plentiful, and the beer was enough. Yang Jun was in high spirits, and went to the public management department, history class, and X department to toast everywhere, drank a lot, and by the time he finished eating, he was already dizzy.

He walked out of the building and saw a man and a woman kissing in the corner. As soon as the cold wind blew, he felt the weakness under his feet, and hurriedly returned to the dormitory to lie down on the bed, feeling that the world was spinning, and he felt nausea in his stomach and retched a few times. Li Shan brought a basin, and Yang Jun vomited.

After vomiting, Yang Jun rolled over and fell asleep, not knowing anything.

The next morning, the tree-planting team returned home. A group of people carrying large bags and small bags came to the road again, and three buses were waiting on the side of the road.

Before getting into the car, Yang Jun saw Shen Qing standing on the side of the road with a big backpack on the ground, looking at him with a smile in his eyes, as if encouraging him to do something.

Before the wine was sober, Yang Jun buried his head, walked past Shen Qing's side, and got into the car by himself.

Yang Jun later recalled why he didn't help Shen Qing carry her backpack and send her to the car? Xu had a sudden pain before, and he didn't dare to take another step easily?

When he meets the girl who makes him tempted, he instinctively protects himself from being hurt again.

After returning to school, Yang Jun was surprised to find that there was no shadow of Xiao Tong in his heart.

He seems to know more and more about what kind of girl he likes, maybe this is also the gradual maturity of emotions?
