In September, it was already very cool at night in Shanhua Village.

With the dishes sent by Aunt Ge and the bacon brought by Yang Jie, Li Manman didn't cook noodles, and went to the stove next to the office with Yang Jie to stir-fry and cook.

A plate of simple bacon fried tofu, a plate of scrambled eggs, a plate of fried vegetables, Li Manman called the old principal, and the three of them chatted while eating under the dim kerosene lamp, very happy.

After a day of bumps and fatigue, and even more sleepy after eating, Yang Jie fell asleep soon after eating.

The next morning, she was awakened by the sound of singing outside the house.

She got up and walked to the window, and saw Li Manman leading twenty or thirty children in the field to raise the flag.

The children, the eldest of whom was eleven or twelve years old, and the youngest of whom was only six or seven years old, stood in a row of four or five people, raising their hands and saluting, the red scarves on their chests fluttering in the morning breeze, and everyone singing the national anthem loudly.

The sonorous and powerful singing also infected Yang Jie, and she also quickly stood up, looking at the red flag slowly rising outside, and singing in her mouth: "Build our flesh and blood into our new Great Wall......"

After the flag-raising ceremony, the children cheered and ran to the two classrooms.

There are only two teachers in the school, an old principal and a Li Manman, and the children are divided into two classes, which are not divided into grades, only large classes and small classes.

Yang Jie walked outside the house and saw the old principal staggering towards the classroom of the big class, and Li Manman saw Yang Jie and walked over.

"I'll go to teach the students first, you know the place in the stove house, I will heat the buns in the morning, cover them in the pot, and you can eat them yourself!"

Yang Jie nodded: "You go and get busy, I'll cook for you at noon." ”

"Good!"

Li Manman said with a smile and walked towards the classroom of the small class.

Not long after, the sound of reading came from the classroom.

"The weather is cooler and the leaves are yellow. Leaves fall from the trees.

The sky is so blue, so high. A flock of geese flew south, one moment lined up in a single word, and the other in a row.

……”

The sound of reading reminded Yang Jie's memories, she slowly walked out of the window of the classroom, and saw Li Manman reading in the classroom, eleven or twelve children reading along, they were reading intently, and they didn't notice anyone outside the window at all.

Yang Jie looked at Li Manman, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Also graduated from the Normal School, now Li Manman stands on the sacred podium and realizes her dream of becoming a people's teacher. And he chose to teach his husband and children, and he used to stand on the podium, but now he can only be outside the window.

There is envy, and there is also emotion.

People, after all, have chosen a different life.

What do you get? And what to lose?

Perhaps, even I don't know!

After a while, Yang Jie left silently and went to the kitchen.

Time is in a hurry. Morning passed, noon passed, and soon it was three o'clock in the afternoon, and the elementary school was dismissed.

"Principal Zhang, I'll accompany Yang Jie for a walk around the village, and I'll come back later to cook."

After sending the students away, Li Manman said to the old principal.

The old principal waved his hand: "Go, go, take your friends to see the mountains and rivers here, the wildflowers on the eastern slope are still very beautiful." ”

The two walked slowly through the sand forest towards the eastern slope.

It was only at this time that Yang Jie had the opportunity to talk to Li Manman.

"Seriously, I'm so happy, I didn't expect you to come to see me from so far." Li Manman said.

Yang Jie said playfully: "How is it?" I'm funny! Specially here to accompany you for the Mid-Autumn Festival! ”

Li Manman smiled: "I know that you are the best with me, you are running alone, what should the children do?" ”

Yang Jie smiled and said, "His dad took it, it's okay." ”

"You are so happy, Brother Jun spoils you, let you run around, if others are definitely not allowed!" Li Manman said.

"Don't talk about him!" Yang Jie's face was full of happiness, and said, "It's you, in such a place, you can't even find a partner!" ”

Li Manman smiled, pointed to the wild flowers in the mountains and said: "Look, how beautiful it is here, and those children accompany me, I am very happy and satisfied, what does it matter if I can't find a partner or not!" ”

As he spoke, another face inevitably appeared in his mind, and a trace of silence flashed in his eyes.

As if afraid that Yang Jie would find out about her expression, Li Man trotted briskly towards the hillside, she opened her arms as if to embrace the sky, shouting, and indulged like a little girl.

Yang Jie also followed, and the figures of the two were quickly submerged in the wildflowers all over the mountain.

After a long time, both of them were a little tired and lay on their backs on the ground.

The sky is blue and clear, with white clouds like cotton, and all around are all kinds of wildflowers, filled with bursts of fragrance.

"Manman, are you going to teach here all the time?"

Yang Jie looked at the sky and asked.

Li Manman also looked at the sky and said with a smile: "Otherwise? You can also see that Principal Zhang is already old, his health is not good, there are no other teachers here who are willing to come, the children are still so young, you have never seen their serious appearance when they are studying, every time I see the thirst for knowledge in their pure eyes, I feel that I can't leave them......"

"But you have to plan for yourself!" Yang Jie persuaded: "You can't be alone all the time!" ”

Li Manman smiled: "Do what you like to do, what does it matter if you are alone?" ”

Yang Jie sighed, it was not the first time she had persuaded Li Manman, but every time there was no result.

I didn't continue the topic, but talked about some interesting things when I was studying.

Former friends, who have lived different lives after separation, always have very few topics about the current situation, and it seems that only by talking about the common experiences of the past can this friendship be continued.

So when friends get together, memories are eternal topics.

"Manman, do you remember Jiang Xiaobai we met in Xinhua Bookstore last time? I found out later, and now he's a good mix, opening a lot of crayfish shops and a few factories......"

Yang Jie said softly, with nostalgia and envy between her words.

Li Manman listened quietly, and Jiang Xiaobai's figure kept coming to mind, it was like a movie in the past, and she was a silent audience.

Feelings are a wonderful thing, once there is a person in the heart, even if you don't contact him for a long time, when you hear the news about him, you will always can't help but feel excited, as if that person is by your side and can hear his breathing.

Li Manman slowly closed his eyes.

"Hey, are you listening to what I'm saying?"

After not seeing Li Manman speak for a long time, Yang Jie couldn't help but turn her head to look at her and asked.

Li Manman woke up suddenly, his face turned red, and he said vaguely: "I'm listening, you're talking about Jiang Xiaobai." ”

Yang Jie chuckled: "When I was studying, why didn't I find out that he was a treasure?" ”

Li Manman smiled: "He has always been very good!" ”

Yang Jie smiled: "Ah, you have already found out!" Then why didn't you chase him in the first place? If you chase it, maybe there won't be anything to do with Lin Jiayin! ”

"If you have someone you love, you won't run to such a place alone!"

"It's all Jiang Xiaobai's fault!"

Li Man smiled bitterly and said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about! Why is it still to blame him! ”

"Yo he......" Yang Jie smiled slyly: "You still protect him!" Say, did you like him? ”

"Where?" Li Manman panicked in his heart and quickly denied it.

"I don't admit it yet!" Yang Jie said and turned over to Li Manman, stretched out her hand to scratch her arm, and said: "I don't believe it, I can't ask you the truth, watch me tickle you......"

"Don't......"

The two of them frolicked in the grass like children.

After a long time, both of them felt a little tired, so they stopped, and talked for a while, seeing that it was getting late, Yang Jie said: "Let's go, let's go back, otherwise the old principal will be hungry." ”

"Hmm!"

Li Manman replied and got up from the ground.

Unbeknownst to her, as soon as she stood up, she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen, and then the sky swirled, and her body fell limply before she could stand firmly.

"Manman, what's wrong with you?"

Yang Jie was startled, and hurriedly went to support Li Manman, calling loudly.
