Xu is a few days of field training was too tense, and Yu Yang slept until more than seven o'clock in the morning. As soon as the person opened his eyes, he was startled by the face in front of him.

"Are you awake?" The owner of the face saw him open his eyes and quickly smiled.

"Something?" Yu Yang rubbed her eyes and sat up, and when she looked at Bei Xiaoya again, she found that she was already dressed and looked like she was ready to go out.

"You're going to school today?" Bei Xiaoya asked knowingly.

"Hmm." Yu Yang answered, then got up and walked to the bedroom to wash.

Bei Xiaoya hurriedly followed, and saw that Yu Yang had washed his face, and took him a towel with great discernment.

Yu Yang saw her flattering face, so he took the initiative to ask, "Do you want to go too?" ”

Bei Xiaoya hurriedly nodded as if a chicken pecked, and Yu Yang, who saw it, couldn't help laughing. He raised his hand and hooked the two braids on the back of Bei Xiaoya's head to his chest, and then responded, "Then let's go together." ”

Bei Xiaoya saw that he agreed, and her little face immediately smiled like a flower.

"Why are you so in such good interest today?" This girl is too abnormal today, and she is not usually a person who likes to join in the fun.

Bei Xiaoya didn't answer directly, but first went to the kitchen to bring out the breakfast she had cooked early in the morning, and only asked after the two of them sat down, "Do you remember the owner of the bookstore before, the one who fought with me?" Seeing Yu Yang nodded, she continued, "She is teaching at the school here now, and Xiaobao was sent back by her two days ago. ”

Yu Yang took a hard-boiled egg and rolled it on the table, and after peeling off the skin, he handed it to Bei Xiaoya, "So you're going to find her today." ”

Bei Xiaoya took the egg and took a bite and replied, "Well, she said that her grandfather can paint oil paintings, and he is also in school now, I want to go over and have a look." "It would be better if I could have a teacher by the way.

Yu Yang nodded, "Then let's eat quickly, and we'll go over after eating." ”

The two of them finished breakfast and went out together. When passing through the camp, Yu Yang transferred a small team of troops to the team, and asked the captain to lead the team to fortify around the school first. After the team set off, he returned to Bei Xiaoya's side.

Seeing a team of people running in front of her with rifles, Bei Xiaoya felt a little uneasy in her heart, and when she saw Yu Yang approaching her, she asked tremblingly, "Is there still any danger at an opening ceremony?" ”

"Knock on the mountain and shake the tiger." Yu Yang took her hand and carefully avoided the rain hoarded on the road, "There is a team there, even if someone has an idea, they don't dare to act rashly." ”

Bei Xiaoya nodded as if she didn't understand.

Unlike the dusty past, it is quiet and comfortable after the rain. The dust and sand were drenched on the ground by the rain, and although it was still empty, the whole earth seemed to have been baptized, and even the air smelled of earth.

"Do you like it here?" Yu Yang looked at Bei Xiaoya in the east and west, looking very fresh.

Bei Xiaoya nodded, "In the past, the school organized sketching, and they liked to take us to the ancient suburbs, but the scenery there was somewhat artificially intervened, and this is the place where the charm of nature is truly displayed." ”

"But it's hard to live here for a long time. The development here is very backward, and it may not change for ten or twenty years. Yu Yang looked at the vast desert, and his eyes were rarely sentimental.

"Have you thought about getting out of here?" Bei Xiaoya looked at him and asked rhetorically.

Yu Yang lowered his eyes, and he looked a little discolored. He was silent for a few moments before replying, "No, and never will." ”

Bei Xiaoya didn't understand why he was suddenly depressed, and she couldn't bear to ask again, just silently shook his big palm back.

Yu Yang raised his eyes to look at her, looking at himself with a firm look, and his heart quickly warmed up again. The two looked at each other and smiled, and many words met in each other's eyes.

They walked for a long time before Bei Xiaoya faintly saw the location of the school. The environment is much better than the camp, with a lot of green vegetation and a hillside behind the school that looks like rice is still grown.

After walking in a little more, Bei Xiaoya completely saw the appearance of the school. The earthen walls are gray and tiled, there is not even a courtyard, there is a row of empty houses, and there is an arm-thick bamboo pole erected in front of the house.

The two of them approached the school directly, and Bei Xiaoya saw that there were already many people here. Most of the people have the tools of farming in their hands, as if they had come from the fields, or when this is over, they can go to work in the fields without having to return home.

"It's going to take a while before it starts." Yu Yang raised his wrist and glanced at the time, "Are you going to look for her now?" ”

Bei Xiaoya stared at a classroom and shook her head, "Wait a minute, she seems to be busy." ”

Yu Yang followed her gaze and saw the shopkeeper with shoulder-length short hair, standing on the podium of the classroom, as if explaining something to the students below.

Yu Yang's gaze swept around, and finally led her to stop under a small tree. The tree looks newly transplanted, and the leaves are not shiny yet.

Bei Xiaoya knew that Yu Yang was afraid of her sun, but the leaves on this tree were very thin, and the shading effect was really average.

They stood under the tree for a long time before they saw a man come out of the classroom at the very edge, and it was coming straight for them. Bei Xiaoya saw his appearance clearly before he got close. He was about forty years old, a little short and stocky, and wore black-rimmed glasses with thick lenses, reflecting his small eyes.

When the man was still some way away from them, he leaned over and stretched out his hand, and looked very modest.

"I'm sorry to bother you to come here." The man stopped in front of them and shook Yu Yang's hand.

"The headmaster is gracious, this is what we should do." Yu Yang also swept away his usual indifference, and he looked a lot calmer.

"The ceremony will start soon, would you like to go in and sit down for a while?" The principal withdrew his hand and gestured in the direction of the classroom.

"No, go ahead and get your hands dirty."

"Alright, then I'll go get ready and start right away." With that, the headmaster turned around and walked to the door of the classroom, and raised his hand to pull a rope and rang an iron bell hanging on the wall.

"Bell, bell."

The bell rang three times, and the children in the classroom ran out one after another. This is the first time Bei Xiaoya has seen children outside the family home, although she knew that it was very poor here, but the dress of these children in front of her made her know that the poverty here was more serious than she expected.

Most of the children's clothes were in tatters, and even a few of the boys were barebacked, wearing only a pair of trousers with pudding. Some children are barefoot, and the mud on their feet is so much that they can no longer see the color of their skin. It may be because of the wind and sand, the children have no protection, and their little faces are all wrinkled, and some of them are quite cracked.

Bei Xiaoya on the side looked sour, and her eyes were a little astringent. She was raised by her parents as a little princess since she was a child, and there were many kinds of clothes at home that she couldn't wear. Many dresses are already small before they even have time to unpack. She had never felt anything wrong before, but looking at these children now, she felt ashamed.
