In the seventh year of the new era, the whole country has been completely renewed, and there is a new atmosphere brought about by economic prosperity everywhere.

In June, at a normal university in Kyoto, students celebrated each other with crowns and took pictures to say goodbye. Ye Ruhui has endless photos and parting words with a few good sisters.

"Ruhui, you must write to us in time to let us know how you are doing."

"Qingying is right, the conditions in the mountain village are not good, and the communication is not developed, you have to pay attention to your own life safety."

"Oops! Yesterday you had already held Ruhui's hand and said that it would be an afternoon and an evening. Let's stop saying such sad words, come, come over and take a full picture together. Today, on the last day of our togetherness, we must be happy and happy, and we must laugh and separate. ”

Several girls put smiles on their faces and began to show off themselves in various poses, temporarily dispelling the sorrow of parting.

On the first day of the trip, Ye Ruhui looked at the familiar back that kept receding outside the window, and felt a little apprehensive. Choosing to go to the southwest to teach was her own idea, and she didn't discuss it with her parents. But once they found out, the lying trip was nullified. Her parents would have come overnight to stop her, and they would quickly find her a decent job as a teacher in her hometown province.

She was born in a family of teachers, her parents and grandparents are mainly teaching and educating people, going back to several generations, and her ancestors have appeared famous Confucian scholars, and her disciples are all over the thousands.

Grandparents are people who came from that era, they have endured hardships and lived a luxurious life, and they have a supportive attitude towards her choice. She only told her grandparents, but she didn't dare to tell her parents. In fact, her parents are also for her good, she is the only child in the family, and they all want to put all the good things in front of the child and not let her suffer hardship.

Ye Ruhui was born in the provincial capital, grew up in a neat, clean and warm home since she was a child, and thought that all the children in the world were like her, living a life like her.

When I was in middle school, I read in the newspapers and magazines that there were still people in the world who had no place to live, no food and clothing, and no food or clothing. She had the idea to take a look.

When I asked her mother, she said, "It's because they're lazy and the economy is backward that restricts local development, so they're poor." ”

Mom rarely talks nonsense, if that's the reason, why don't you go there to teach after she graduates from college! Do your part for the future generations there to get rid of the symptoms of backwardness.

After hearing this, her mother praised her, saying that she was ambitious, but in a blink of an eye, she lowered her face and warned her: "Teaching is not an easy task, and it is not that you can change their minds if you go." If they want to get rich, they have to rely on their own struggle. I've already discussed with your dad that when you graduate, you'll come to our school, starting with a trainee teacher. Your dad and I won't allow you to go to such a remote place. ”

"Your name is Ye Ruhui." A gentle young man sitting next to her asked, dressed very plainly, with rimmed eyes, and a very literate appearance.

Ye Ruhui got out of the chaotic thoughts and looked at the young man, "It's me." Sorry, I was a little distracted. ”

There were three people with her, and the others were a little far away from her. The information between the two was still obtained from the professor, and she wrote it down.

"Oh, don't be inhibited, since everyone is going to teach, let's be casual. This is my buddy, Zhou Xiang. My name is Ling Luoying, and you must know everything. The professor also told them that there was a girl walking with them, so he paid more attention to this female classmate named Ye Ruhui.

looked at a very quiet girl, she was so bold that she dared to go to a remote mountain village alone. He still called his good buddies together before he dared to submit the application.

Where is Ye Ruhui bold, she doesn't know that there is such a thing as a sinister person.

She pulled out her homemade biscuits from her backpack and gave them a few for each of them. After all, she will have to rely on the two of you to take care of her in the future, there are two people who are relatively familiar with her, and she herself has a person to talk to.

The two of them excused themselves but accepted it.

Zhou Xiang tasted it and found it good, "Where did you buy it?" When I go back, I'll patronize it. "Biscuits don't have a sweet taste, and the taste is the sweetness that is originally found in wheat.

"Yes, it's the third time I've eaten cookies in my memory." Ling Luoying kept talking after tasting it, her own was gone, and she went to grab her friend's.

Ye Ruhui didn't expect that the homemade biscuits would be liked by the two big boys, so she took out a few more and gave them to the two. Before leaving, she borrowed her classmate's kitchen and made two large bags full of them to carry with her. "If you like, I can teach you when you get to the place. I have some other snacks in my backpack that I'll bring to you later. ”

"You did it yourself! O God of Cooking! In order to grab food, the two of them stuffed their mouths full, but in order to maintain their demeanor in front of their female classmates, they didn't dare to go too far, leaving a bad influence on gluttony.

"Where." With something to eat, the students who were originally unfamiliar with it instantly narrowed the distance and became familiar.

After two days and two nights of getting along, Ye Ruhui learned the essence of the two male classmates who were about to become colleagues. Ling Luoying seems to be polite and polite, but in fact, she is rather dark-bellied and likes to set small traps, and Zhou Xiang often drills one by one.

Zhou Xiang knew by listening to the name that he was a very lively big boy, a little idle, he liked to provoke Ling Luoying when he had nothing to do, he always returned defeated, and after a long time, he relapsed into his old ways.

Along the way, the three of them had endless jokes and endless stories, and in such an atmosphere, the three of them came to the gate of Fujiang Village Primary School, which was about to teach.

As its name suggests, there is a river running through it, and I don't know where it comes from where it comes from here, and where it ends with no idea. Fujiang Village Primary School, not far from the river, is a slightly flat land, surrounded by mountains.

There is no scenery to speak of, and the slopes of the mountains have been reclaimed for crops. In addition to these, the local air is fresh, and it is also a good place for health preservation. At night, you can also hear frogs chirping, as well as other types of insects.

The principal took the three of them around the school, gave a general introduction to the situation in the school, and arranged the people in their own homes for the time being.

The houses in the village are basically occupied by people in every household, and there are basically no vacant houses.

The three of them can only live together for a year, huddled under the same roof with others.

Ye Ruhui lives in a room with the village chief's granddaughter with a small window on the wall. Even during the day, it's dark inside. You need to turn on the lights to see.

"This is my sister's room and my clothes, and it's in this cupboard." Zhang Hehe led Ye Ruhui to familiarize herself with the room.

The conditions were worse than she expected. There is no wardrobe, only a few wooden boxes made by the farmers themselves, without locks, just open them directly.

And that's not all. The little girl spoke again: "The box must be covered and covered tightly." There are rats here that will also gnaw at your clothes. ”

"Xiaohua, come here." She called a raccoon cat, and the kitten stayed at the door for a while, probably curious to come and see, and turned around and left after reading it, ignoring the little master's words.

Zhang Hehe chased him out and hugged the big raccoon cat in his arms, "Sister Ruhui, let me introduce you, this is Xiaohua, it is very good at catching mice." Our family relied on it to keep most of our food. ”

"Can I touch it?" Ye Ruhui herself likes these fluffy and cute animals, and she also has two of them.

"Here, you touch." Zhang Hehe held the two forelimbs of the tanuki cat with both hands and handed them to Ye Ruhui.

Ye Ruhui touched her head twice, and the tanuki cat squinted her eyes and didn't struggle.

"You can hug it." The little girl invited, "Xiaohua, it's good, don't arrest people at all." ”

finally sucked the raccoon cat again, and Ye Ruhui was satisfied.

"Sister, I'm hungry." At this time, Xiao Xiaohe, who had been sitting on the edge of the bed as a background board, shouted at her sister.

"Xiaohe, wait a little longer, we have an extra big sister in the house, I will cook for you after the big sister is settled first." Zhang Hehe also sat on the bed and touched her sister's head, telling her not to worry.

Hearing that the child was hungry, Ye Ruhui immediately put down the tanuki cat, pulled away the big backpack she was carrying, and took out a few snacks from it. These snacks are dried and can be stored for about a week.

"I know what this star-like eater?" Zhang Hehe tilted his head and looked at Ye Ruhui, meaning that she would quickly take the next sentence and let her know that she was not an ordinary child.

"What is it?" Ye Ruhui was as she wished.

"Cookies. Once, I was sick, very sick, and I said I wanted to eat cookies, and my grandfather bought me a bag. It's delicious, and I left half a bag for my sister to bring back. However, my mom said it was a little trendy and not very tasty. My sister and I didn't taste it. Zhang Hehe licked it, "Why aren't you sweet?" Some of them are wooden, like my own tortillas. ”

Children love sweets, but eating too much is easy to cause dental discomfort, so Ye Ruhui only made half of the sweetened ones, and the other half did not add any sugar, and for adults, the taste was just right.

Ye Ruhui explained to her: "This sister didn't put sugar, of course it's not sweet, it's sweet here." But what about the sweet! You can only eat a few a day, not too much, and be careful of toothache. ”

"Toothache. I know that my dad sometimes yells about toothaches, and he must have eaten too many sweets when he was a kid. We ate all our sweets, so we didn't have any sweets to eat. Ye Ruhui snorted, her father was too unrighteous, he ate too many sweets when he was a child, and he made his family poor. Grandpa also said that Dad is a big rice bucket, and one meal is worth two meals for others.

Ye Ruhui was embarrassed, and hurriedly cleared up the relationship: "This is relatively speaking, not absolute. If your dad doesn't take good care of his teeth, he will easily suffer from toothache. ”

"Care? Why do you need to take care of your teeth, it's about eating! "The words of the eldest sister are too difficult to understand, what is nursing, Zhang Hehe doesn't understand.

"Nursing means that you rinse your mouth with water every day after eating, and brush your teeth once in the morning and once in the evening. When you grow up like this, you have a beautiful mouthful of teeth, and when you smile, you can fascinate a group of people. Ye Ruhui made a demonstration, revealing her white and neat teeth.

"Wow! What beautiful teeth. Zhang Hehe reached out to touch it, but she avoided it.

"You can't just touch your teeth, there are germs."

"Come, open your mouth, and let me see if your sisters' teeth are well maintained." Ye Ruhui said to the two little girls.

Zhang Hehe opened his mouth, and a mouthful of pale yellow and black teeth was exposed, and there were already several layers of tartar on it. If you don't clean your teeth in the future, you have to go to the dentist's office for teeth cleaning.

Zhang Xiaohe is young, and when it is time to change his teeth, his teeth are still white, but there is obviously black tartar on them.

"You two, learn to protect your teeth with me from today onwards. Brushing ...... teeth "Ye Ruhui suddenly thought that people who don't even brush their teeth much as adults will buy toothbrushes, toothpaste and other things for children? She changed her words and said, "Follow me to rinse my mouth after eating." ”

In terms of daily necessities, she didn't bring much, thinking that it would be more convenient to buy them when she got here, so she didn't prepare much.

The child was already crying out that he was hungry, and Ye Ruhui sped up to clean up.

"Alright, let's go cook. You lead the way. Xiao Xiaohe was only four years old, and she carried her out of bed, Zhang Hehe kicked the ground with one foot, got out of bed, and walked in front.

When I came out of the main house, I walked a few steps along the eaves and arrived at the kitchen. It's still an earthen stove inside, if you want to say that Ye Ruhui has seen it, she has only seen it on TV, and it's the first time in reality.

Standing in front of the stove, there is a large water tank in the back, and there is a long cutting board on which you can chop vegetables to make pasta. Firewood is piled up in the innermost part of the kitchen.

The wooden cupboard is placed on the side of the wall as soon as you enter the door. Almost all wooden, very little modern thing to see.

"What is this?" She pointed to something that looked like a car wheel, with a handle, mounted on something wooden that looked a bit like a drawer, and looked closely at the axle wheels inside.

"It's something that is used to press noodles, you don't have it there? Don't eat noodles? In the face of Zhang Hehe's question, she didn't know how to answer for a while, and decided to stay here for two more years to change the backwardness and disintegration here.

For Ye Ruhui, this village is like an isolated world, the outside has long been turned upside down, but this place is still so primitive.

Ye Ruhui's thoughts, Hua Luo can know with a guess. Unlike the original plot, where she came alone, this time, she found two companions. Although the people here are simple, there are still some people with bad intentions.

In the plot, Ye Ruhui suffers from this.

She came here alone, and the sincere love of the children, as well as the respect of the simple peasant family here for her, a teacher from a big city outside, made her feel that this was God's arrangement.

However, there is both jealousy and goodness.

Someone couldn't see her well, and secretly set a trap for her to drill. Without any precautions, she fell into the trap of others and has been burdened with a stigma since then. Fortunately, the people in the village were kind, accompanied her to the hospital, and completely hid the matter.

For these children who came to see her and were eager for knowledge, she gritted her teeth and stayed here for ten years. During this period, her biological parents came to her and cried and begged her to go back, but she was hard-hearted and insisted on staying.

Ten years later, there were very few students, the school was gone, and she returned to the provincial capital to teach at her parents' school. One term is a lifetime, and every time she dreams back at midnight, she dreams about what happened that night, which makes her depressed and unstable.
