Time flows forward at a new pace.

It used to be like a stream, tinting and dingding, slowly flowing through large and small pebbles; Now it is like a small river, rushing through the crooked river.

At the end of the year, there is still one final exam to end. Many anxious students started buying tickets home as early as four weeks ago and began to pack their luggage a week ago.

Mo Yan was carrying a backpack, which was her new Kafuka — no longer the same backpack she used to have in high school, but it had the same name. Kafuka followed the rhythm of her rapid run, and landed on her waist and hips.

Swimming against the current, she was heading towards the library.

There are still a few people who can go to the library calmly and go to the library as usual when they are still a day or two away from returning home from the holidays. Libraries, which usually have to grab seats early to get a place, are now quite empty.

Before arriving at the library, Mo Yan's mobile phone rang.

It was Wang Chengyou who called.

From the day of the first day of the final exams, he made at least 3 phone calls a day. Before the holiday, people's hearts fluctuate, and Wang Chengyou is no exception, at the end of every phone call, he will ask her about the date of her return. Mo Yan has always been hesitant.

"Chengyou, I still can't decide, 70-80% of me, I hope to stay in school and seize this precious month." Their Jinqiao College started its winter vacation on January 20, and it didn't start until March 3, and classes didn't start on March 5. Pinch your fingers and calculate, 42 days in between.

At Fudan University, where Wang Chengyou works, the winter vacation will be a week longer, 47 days.

"If you don't come home during the winter vacation, I'll ......," Wang Chengyou said. If you don't go back, I'll go back alone for 47 days, what's the point!

"I'm sorry." Mo Yan apologized. She could feel his loss.

"I ...... Just feel free to teach. The words are no longer what I really think in my heart. He didn't want to add the slightest bit of negativity to her.

"Volunteer teaching?" Mo Yan's heart flashed through the ravines and ravines that Wang Chengyou had taken her to at eleven o'clock.

"Yes, I have passed the training of the 'Tianyi' social practice training camp and am ready to participate in a winter vacation teaching activity called 'Jingsheng Trip, Wutong Song', and I will go to Heilongjiang Tonghe Farm School when the time comes. It was a farm on the border between China and Russia. ”

"So far?"

"Yes. This time, I can also go to the podium. ”

Wang Chengyou spoke very devotedly, and the apology in Mo Yan's heart faded a lot: "I'm so happy to hear you say that." So I called my mom and told her I wasn't coming home for winter break. ”

Well, it turns out that I am 20-30% of the homecoming factor.

Wang Chengyou smiled bitterly to himself, although he was very unsupportive in his heart, there was still not a word of persuasion in his mouth, and all he said was encouragement: "I can let my aunt come to accompany you when she is on vacation after the holiday." You have to learn in a rhythm, don't be greedy for a moment and break the balance. ”

"I know, I know, I want to combine movement and stillness, and relax to a certain extent." Mo Yan laughed at him and was verbose.

Wang Chengyou smiled as someone called him, and the two ended the call.

It was his roommate Zheng Shuguang who called Wang Chengyou. Zheng Shuguang hooked Wang Chengyou's shoulder: "How is it?" Resolved? ”

Wang Chengyou shook his head helplessly: "It's down." She won't be going back for winter vacation. ”

"You say your girlfriend? Scared, I didn't see it, but she was a big perseverance. What I'm asking you is, if you participate in the winter vacation social practice activities, where will you go? ”

"Participate. The Wutong River Teaching Detachment left me a place. ”

Zheng Shuguang sighed and shook his head: "Why do you always go to teach!" For example, the well-known project team of "Cost Budgeting and Sharing Mechanism for Migrant Workers" and the "Three Rural Villages" project team to investigate the local economic structure, contact the Urban Planning Administration, and study the gap between planning and results. As a promising youth with a high IQ, there are too many places for us to exert our energy. ”

"Dare to ask where Zheng Gongzi went to practice during the winter vacation?" Wang Chengyou asked with a smile.

"Hey, I'm only a freshman, let's wait until my sophomore year. This winter vacation, I am going to be a teaching material that motivates the little dolls in my family to study hard, visit relatives and friends, and have to go. ”

Wang Chengyou chuckled. He had long recognized that Zheng Shuguang was a so-called "refined egoist".

Three days later, Wang Chengyou's Wutong River teaching team of 11 people set off.

They are the first team to set off for the winter vacation social practice. After that, more than 270 teams will go to various parts of the motherland one after another, ready to "be educated, grow talents, and make contributions" in practical experience.

Mi Zhi waited for a while, took a square silk pal and put it on her face, tears of longing sneaking over the corners of her eyes.

Mother Zhang beside her was not as reserved as her, and directly held back tears: "This child, why don't you know that you are homesick." ”

Wang Chengyou walked for 17 days, 14 of which were spent teaching locally.

Michel was speechless.

She understands the truth, a loving mother is a failure, and the child should have in-depth contact with the real society, how can there be a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain, but she just wants her son. Heartbreaking.

Tears welled up and I couldn't control it.

Mi Zhi couldn't help but think sadly, if Chengyou lived in an ordinary citizen family with her, and didn't have to bear the responsibility of inheriting the family business, wouldn't she be able to live a more relaxed life and have more company?

Suddenly, something occurred to Michelle.

I saw her sit up suddenly, looking at Zhang's mother, who was her confidant, at least on the topic of Chengyou: "I suddenly thought of someone." ”

"Who?"

"You may not know, it's Yu's high school classmate."

Mama Zhang's eyes lit up, and she immediately thought of Mo Yan.

"I called her and asked when she would be back." Mi Zhi said to do it, picked up the mobile phone and called Mo Yan, her husband Wang Chen was not at home, she didn't need to carry anyone on her back.

Zhang's mother pricked up her ears and listened with joy. I saw Mrs. Mi asking with great interest: "Mo Yan...... When will you be back...... Oh. The smile wilted, and the call ended.

So fast?

After ending the call, Mi Zhi's face darkened directly: "No wonder my You can't come back." ”

"What? They're together? ”

Mi Zhi shook his head decadently: "It's not together, Mo Yan didn't come back for the entire winter vacation, and he took some exams at school." ”

"This, why are these children fighting so hard?" Zhang's mother was puzzled.

originally thought that he would wait for 17 days, but as a result, after 20 days, Wang Chengyou arrived home. Their teaching group went to Ji'an, a small town on the border between China and North Korea. In Ji'an, Wang Chengyou clearly saw his father Wang Chen's driver, which made Wang Chengyou, who originally planned to go back to Shanghai, have to give up.

I returned home at the end of my trip to the Northeast, and there were only 3 days left before the Chinese New Year.

Guarding the son who finally came back, Mi Zhi and Zhang's mother, can be regarded as solving the pain of missing.
