You are my proper foothold

Hui Xiaoyou's teaching plan started on the third day after arriving in Zhaoping Village.

Originally, he said that he could start the class on the same day, but Liang Fugui insisted that he should take a day off first to familiarize himself with the environment, so it was postponed to the third day.

When the class officially started, Hui Xiaoyou arrived at the classroom 10 minutes earlier than the scheduled time, only to find that the classroom was already full. Shouting loudly to him like a chant, "Hello, Professor Yan!"

"...Hello, hello!" Hui Xiaoyou and Liang Fugui have been talking together for two days, and he has been a little carried away by him, nodding his head, striding in and standing on the podium, and gestured two downwards to the people below. He gestured: "Everyone, don't be so polite, just feel free, just feel free!"

Hearing his words, Liang Fugui, who was sitting in the first row, yelled loudly like a monitor: "Sit down!"

So the crowd sat down again, their movements still neat, Hui Xiaoyou didn't even hear the sound of the stool legs rubbing against the ground.

He couldn't help feeling a little emotional in his heart, took a deep breath, lowered his eyes to the podium, and slowly looked around.

Sure enough, as Liang Fugui told him in advance, this small classroom was not only filled with more than [-] village cadres and intellectuals who were originally scheduled to attend classes, but also crowded with unplanned villagers, including adults and children. , there is an old man with gray hair, sitting on the left side of the first row with a crutch made of wood, his old face is covered with wrinkles like a knife, only a pair of eyes are still piercing , who was staring at Hui Xiaoyou intently at the moment.

Except for the old man, everyone else was also staring at Hui Xiaoyou intently.

How long has it been since you saw such a scene?

Hui Xiaoyou looked at them and felt as if he was back in the preschool and first and second grade classes.Students at that time may know very little, but they have an important quality that many people have lost when they grow up, curiosity.

Facing the men, women and children sitting in front of him now, Hui Xiaoyou finally found something familiar in their eyes again.That is the longing for the unknown.

Hui Xiaoyou has already started to like this place.

***

There is no Jiazi in the mountains, and it is cold and I do not know the year.

The life in Zhaoping Village is very peaceful and peaceful, without disturbances and temptations from the outside world every day. In addition to preparing for teaching and teaching, the rest of the time is reading, or chatting with villagers and telling them about the things in the city.

Hui Yue lived very comfortably in such a life.

Knowing that electricity is a scarce resource here, he usually does not turn on the lights at night, and only uses the flashlight he brought as a light source to read the pages of the book, but his eyes will feel tired after a long time, so Hui Xiaoyou lays down on the bed early While thinking about what Jiang Xin was doing at the moment, she felt drowsy, and within a few days she really got used to it.

He was originally an out-and-out night owl, with a history of staying up late for nearly ten years, but he was trained by natural light to become a regular young man who worked at sunrise and rested at sunset within two weeks after arriving in Zhaoping Village. I feel very magical.

When he first came here, the village head wanted to entertain him with the best food ingredients in the village every meal, but Yan Xiaoyou had already inquired clearly in private that ordinary people in Zhaoping Village usually only eat chicken, duck and fish during the New Year. It is quite a luxury to have an egg once in a while. Most of the time, I live on whole grains and vegetables.

Hui Xiaoyou felt that under such conditions, he could still eat meat and fish every time, just like the bully landlord who exploited the people in the past.

Later, he insisted again and again, and once almost got angry with the village head, and the village head reluctantly promised him to lower the standard of food in the future.

Frankly speaking, Yan Xiaoyou is really not picky about food, although sometimes he feels a little lonely in his stomach when there is less oil and water, but sitting with everyone, chewing vegetables and steamed buns makes him feel at ease.

Everything is gradually getting used to, and the days are getting more and more pleasant.

In addition to missing gradually.

As time slowly moves forward, the longing seems to turn into a cohesive thread, extending along with the timeline like a shadow, and the longer it is drawn, the more it gathers.

Hui Xiaoyou never imagined that one day he would fall into this kind of "sour literati temperament" that he once called with a smile.

He couldn't imagine that he would miss someone so much.

Although they have only been separated for less than a month, and although Jiang Xin often traveled on business before, at any rate, they can always contact each other through WeChat or phone, and they do so every day.

It was the first time since Yan Xiaoyou returned to China that he completely cut off contact like this.

There is no obvious distinction between weekdays and weekends in the mountains. The village chief arranged for him to take five days of classes and two days off, regardless of the day of the week.There were two times when Yue Xiaoyou almost went to the county town on the day off, but he was caught by various emergencies. Either Aunt Li's youngest son pestered him to tell stories, or Teacher Tian from the village elementary school asked him questions. Hui Yue couldn't bear to refuse, so in the end he couldn't make it.

In fact, if he really wanted to go to the county seat, it was not impossible for him to do so at night.But in the village, only the next day during the day will there be a small three-wheeled motorcycle that comes to the county to pull people, and there will be no more at night. If Hui Xiaoyou wants to go, he has to ask the village chief to borrow a motorcycle, otherwise it will be too far to walk, and he will go back and forth. It took too long, and he was afraid that if he didn't get a good rest at night, he would delay the next day's class.

But Hui Xiaoyou also knew very well that once he asked the village head to borrow a car, the village head would enthusiastically offer to send him there, Hui Xiaoyou didn't want to cause trouble for others, so he gave up.

In this way, Hui Xiaoyou stayed in Zhaoping Village until the fourth week.

Another five-day course ended, Hui Xiaoyou was stopped by the village head Liang Fugui after class, Liang Fugui grinned at him and said, "Professor Yan! Come here!"

"What's the matter, Village Chief Liang, what's the matter?" Hui Xiaoyou asked, patting the chalk dust on his hands.

Liang Fugui nodded again and again, "I have something to do! I want to tell you that after this class is over, you can rest for three days! The class will start again in three days!"

"Three days?" Hui Xiaoyou couldn't help smiling seeing his happy appearance, "Is there any happy event?"

"No, no!" Liang Fugui waved his hands and said, "That's right, isn't it going to be a great heat in these two days? According to the village's custom, the great heat will make everyone happy for three days. There is no special meaning, just find a reason It’s lively and lively. Besides, it’s always rainy here in summer, and it’s often rainy, and the rain will be more severe after the summer heat, and sometimes landslides are quite dangerous, so the village will also hold blessing activities, hoping that there will be less rain.”

"So that's how it is." Hui Yue felt that he had gained knowledge again, nodded and said, "Alright then, we will start class in three days."

Liang Fugui was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, "That's great, that's great! You can rest well for these three days. If you are interested, welcome to participate in our activities. It's very lively!"

Hui Xiaoyou also laughed, "Okay, I'll try my best."

In the past, he often heard that there were sacrificial activities to pray for rain, but he didn't expect that the people in this mountain actually wanted to pray for the rain to stop.

Seeing Liang Fugui finished speaking, Hui Xiaoyou turned around and greeted a group of villagers out of the "school". Everyone was talking and laughing lively, as if they were discussing the arrangements for the evening.

He packed up his books and notebooks, went to the faucet outside the classroom, turned on the water, and casually washed his hands covered in chalk dust. When he looked up, he saw the orange-red sun hanging on the mountain in the distance, about to set but not yet set , dyed the sky light into a warm tone, and the undulating mountains seemed to be plated with a layer of gold, surrounded by thick or light auspicious cloud patterns, like a huge and luxurious exquisite brocade.

What a nice view.

Hui Xiaoyou stood still and stared at it for several minutes. He didn't blink until his sight became a bit blurred, and he looked back reluctantly.

It would be great if Jiang Xin was here too.

Hui Xiaoyou suddenly thought, it would be great if he could watch this beautiful scenery together.

The thoughts that had been accumulated for many days suddenly surged out from the bottom of his heart like a blowout at this moment, drowning him from head to toe.

The impulse in his heart could no longer be suppressed, Hui Xiaoyou felt that Jiang Xin had reached the point where he couldn't bear it, and he wanted to see him right away... If he really couldn't see him, then it would be good to hear his voice of.

Go to the county seat.

Hui Xiaoyou had made up his mind in an instant.

He was about to set off immediately, immediately, and he couldn't wait for another second.

He almost sprinted at a speed of [-] meters and ran back to his residence with his books and notebooks in his arms. Then he put down these two things, took out the wallet that had been pressed for almost a month from the box, packed it up and went out.

The center of the village was already very lively at this time, men, women and children began to gather there, the only small motorcycle in the village was also requisitioned, I don’t know if it was used as a trumpet, and it made rumbles and rumbles from time to time sound.

Hui Xiaoyou didn't want the people in the village to see him go out, he was afraid that the village head would force him to give him the motorcycle, so he planned to walk to the county seat by himself.

So, bypassing the not straight main street in the center of the village, Hui Xiaoyou walked half a circle from the edge of the village to the entrance of the village cautiously. When he found that there was no one at the entrance of the village, he walked a few steps out of the village. Then walked quickly towards Changhe County.

On this mountain road, Hui Xiaoyou walked and ran, and when he was tired from running, he slowed down and walked quickly. After walking for a while and regained some strength, he started running again, and his heartbeat also slowed down and then accelerated.But during the last ten minutes of the journey, his heartbeat was getting faster and faster. Even if he was not running but just walking, his heartbeat showed no sign of slowing down.

When Hui Xiaoyou stepped into the threshold of the canteen in the county town panting for the last time, his heart was already about to jump out of his throat.

"Boss, boss... I, I want to call, call..."

Hui Xiaoyou leaned on the counter, and the owner of the canteen looked at the man who was flushed as if he was about to die in surprise, pointed him to a landline next to the counter, and said, "Dial long distance first." 0', dial '0' after dialing '8' on the phone..."

"Thanks, thank you..." Hui Xiaoyou supported the table and moved to the phone, skillfully dialing the string of numbers that he had memorized long ago.

The phone rang once... twice... three times...

suddenly!The phone was picked up——

"Brother?" Jiang Xin called out Yan Xiao before he could speak.

Hui Xiaoyou was taken aback, thinking that this is not a public phone, he couldn't help asking: "How do you know it's me?"

"There is a connection." Jiang Xin laughed over there, and then explained: "I guess you must be reluctant to charge your phone in the mountains. If you want to call, you must use the public phone in the county, so you can guess the area code."

"Witty..." Hui Xiaoyou suddenly didn't know what to say next after boasting this sentence.

He had saved up too many things this month and wanted to tell Jiang Xin, but he didn't expect to make a phone call to him at this moment, but it was difficult for him to choose.

Hui Xiaoyou couldn't help but bit his lips and remained silent for two seconds. At this moment, he realized that the background on the other side of Jiang Xin seemed to be very noisy, as if he was outside. Then he remembered that today is Friday, so he asked a little lonely: "What are you talking about?" Not at home? Are you still busy? If I'm busy, I won't bother you."

"Senior brother, wait a moment," Jiang Xin said briefly to him, and then there was a burst of clothes rubbing and the noise of the crowd coming from the receiver, as well as the sound of messy footsteps and the sound of car horns. It took about 2 minutes for Jiang Xin's voice to come again, and he asked him as if he was relieved: "Brother, where are you now?"

"Me now?" Hui Xiaoyou was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted abruptly, his voice suddenly raised: "You won't come to see me, right???"

"Yes," Jiang Xin's gentle smile appeared in front of Hui Xiaoyou's eyes through the microphone, Hui Xiaoyou felt that his whole body was hot and his heart was beating wildly. Say: "I'm in a canteen next to the station, where are you?"

"I just got out of the station," Jiang Xin's voice paused, and suddenly said: "I saw you."

Hui Xiaoyou suddenly looked out the door as if shocked by electricity, his gaze pierced through the bustling crowd, and he locked on the person who was waving and smiling at him at the station entrance.

Hui Xiaoyou's eyes were a little hot, he threw down five yuan to the boss and shouted "Don't look for it" and rushed out, before his brain had time to react to what he was going to do, his body had already taken action.

Hui Xiaoyou couldn't even figure out what he was thinking at this moment, he rushed to Jiang Xin as if his mind was blank, he didn't hide his excitement at all, he just rushed forward and hugged Jiang Xin tightly live.

Jiang Xin paused for a moment.

It took a few seconds for Yan Xiaoyou to catch up with his brain, telling him that his current behavior...is a bit hard to describe.

Hui Yue was dumbfounded, his arm was still hooked around Jiang Xin's neck, as if he was riding a tiger.

How to do……?

let go?Then explain that this is just an act of intimacy by the senior brother out of missing him?

But he was too tight just now...

Hui Xiaoyou's face was a little bit hot, and Jiang Xin in his arms hadn't spoken yet, which made him feel even more guilty, and he let go of his hands bit by bit...

But just when he was about to let go completely, his body was suddenly tightened from behind, and in the next second he was pressed into the embrace in front of him by a stronger force.

Hui Xiaoyou was stunned for a moment, and from the corner of his vision, he saw Jiang Xin hugged him and slowly lowered her head, almost close to his ear, and said in a deep and slow voice, "Senior brother, I miss you so much."

For a moment, Hui Xiao seemed to have forgotten how to breathe.

He breathed in and out a few times before whispering: "Me too..."

Jiang Xin tightened his grip on him.

Hui Xiaoyou felt a hot and humid breath spraying into his ears, making him numb and itchy all over, and then Jiang Xin actually moved her lips closer together, and his lips rubbed against his earlobe, Hui Yue My body went limp and I almost couldn't stand still...

"Hey...Jiang Xin..." He gently put his hand on his waist.

Jiang Xin kissed the area behind his ear thoroughly, and said in a soft but solemn voice: "Brother, I like you."

Hui Xiaoyou almost shed tears when he heard these words.

He finally no longer hesitates, is no longer embarrassed, and is no longer stuck on a tiger.He stretched out his hands and hugged Jiang Xin tightly as before.

"Me too."

You can't hide it anymore, can you?
