After eating and drinking, some people fished by the lake, while others walked along the river trying to touch a beautiful pebble.
There were also people chasing cattle and sheep, making them run around in panic...little Jia Jia.
Mr. Yamamoto was quietly picking up the food scraps, separating them one by one... He really cared about garbage sorting.
It was Xiaoqi who did most of the work during the barbecue just now, so she didn't participate in the cleanup now. It was really because Mr. Yamamoto was too serious, and Xiaoqi didn't know how to clean up and sort the things, which made things even more complicated.
She picked up the sketchbook she brought with her, leaned against a small slope, and wanted to draw a picture.
Now her painting level is at the entry level. She feels that painting is different from practicing calligraphy. Practicing calligraphy only requires calmness, or one can quickly enter a calm state through practicing calligraphy, but painting also requires an excited state, a state of wanting to paint.
There is the excitement of seeing beautiful things.
The scene in front of him was very beautiful. Xiao Qi was quite impressed. He used the brush in his hand to quickly depict a landscape on the drawing paper.
At first I was just rubbing and drawing, and then I slowly immersed myself in it.
Being able to immerse oneself in learning is very important, and this is Xiaoqi’s biggest gain.
She painted the mountain and lake views, herds of sheep and cattle, and grasslands in front of her, but in fact, the scenery of Gumula Village emerged more in her mind.
To be honest, Gumula Village is located on the plateau, and Xiaoqi even thinks it is more beautiful.
But she had never felt this way before. What she felt most was the backwardness, ignorance and poverty of Gumula Village.
Even feeling inferior and self-pitying.
She didn't want to be born in such a backward, poor and primitive place. She envied her classmates. Not to mention those in the city, even Xia Zhen who lived in the suburbs looked so great.
But at this moment, I feel from the bottom of my heart that the scenery here is beautiful.
Before I knew it, I had become a passer-by enjoying the beautiful scenery in the place where others grew up.
Maybe the person herding the cattle and sheep would think that they were bored and didn't have enough food at home, so they came to the wild to eat the blackened things roasted by fire and ate them happily.
Xiaoqi felt that she had unknowingly become a part of the person she once hated and envied.
But at this time she missed Gumula Village very much.
That closed and backward place, because I had been away for so long, seemed to have become a paradise on earth, a paradise in my heart.
Xiaoqi likes to use colors when painting.
She paints very beautifully.
With an extremely low self-esteem and an intense desire to grow and blossom, her paintings always have a vibrant and positive spirit.
Daylight offset.
The wind got a little stronger.
Everyone packed up their things and prepared to leave.
Although they all donated money to Shanya Village, and with their help, the construction of the primary school started, they did not want to trouble the village and were just willing to watch quietly.
They are all very environmentally friendly. After packing up, they even took away the garbage. Except for the stone stove they built, there was no unnatural garbage left.
After pouring water from the lake and making sure the fire was completely out, everyone left.
The cattle and sheep were still grazing not far away, watching them.
The cowherd was wearing a straw hat and hiding in the corner. He had no intention of coming over. When he saw someone looking at him, he just looked up and smiled foolishly.
They look very much like the people in Gumula Village, Xiaoqi's hometown. They are dark and thin, look honest, but also a little cunning.
It didn't get any easier for a group of people to go down the mountain. As the saying goes, it's easier to go up the mountain than down, and that's actually the case. When going down the mountain, you will feel that the road is very shaky, your legs will also shake easily, and it is easy to fall. Fortunately, everyone has a "trekking pole", and I also understand why Xiaoqi sharpened the front of the stick so that it can be better inserted into the mud and stabilize the body.
When going down the mountain, Xiaoqi saw a lacquer tree on the side of the road and pointed it out to everyone.
The trip was worthwhile.
When we got to the foot of the mountain, the bus was waiting for us. But when we got on, we realized how exhausted we were and everyone was complaining about being tired.
In the car, they picked up the thorn balls on their bodies for a while and scattered them on the roadside along the bus.
The grim smile on Mr. Yamamoto's face seemed to have softened a little.
Overall, today was a very enjoyable day of fun.
It was a rare opportunity for Xiaoqi to play like this. He didn't bring any books or memorize anything. He simply got food, climbed mountains and waded through water, and enjoyed the scenery. He relaxed himself.
My body is a little tired, but my mind is very relaxed.
Xiaoqi deeply felt that people need a balance between work and rest. When he arrived at school, the sun had already set and the street lights were on, but he felt a different kind of satisfaction.
It was like a real day off.
Xiaoqi feels that when he was in high school and junior high school, he was very busy and tired studying, and it was a state of busyness without purpose.
When she arrived at university, she didn't feel very tired from studying, but it seemed too stressful. She didn't notice it herself, but after going out for a day today, she discovered the difference.
People must learn to work hard and live a positive and progressive life, but they must also learn to stop, look at the scenery around them and the scenes behind them, rest for a while, and then move on.
In this way, you will find that, as if you have unknowingly thrown away a burden, you have made room in your mind to fill it with more things.
Xiaoqi got off the bus and stepped onto the concrete floor of the school. At that moment, he suddenly felt a strong desire to learn.
I really want to study hard and feel like I can start my journey again.
Jia Jia was young and fell asleep in the car after running for a whole day. Xiao Qi had to drag her out of the car and carried her bags on his back.
Mr. Yamamoto also got off in the old district.
Mr. Yamamoto carefully took the garbage back to the school trash can, but there were only two trash cans in the school, one for recycling and one for non-recyclables.
Yamamoto still organized himself and separated the items neatly, and there were even more subdivisions inside the bag.
For serious people, you may think they are picky, but deep down you still feel a little bit of admiration for them.
I just feel that anyone who can persist in doing one thing seriously, or do anything at all, is a very capable person.
Xiaoqi said goodbye to Mr. Yamamoto. Mr. Yamamoto, leaning on his "trekking pole", smiled grimly again and said he was very happy today.
He also got half a bottle of pickled radish given by Jin Zai Yan. It was made by Xiao Qi before, and Jin Zai Yan also took it away. Unexpectedly, it tasted surprisingly good with barbecued meat, sour and sweet.
Kim Jae-yeon and Mr. Yamamoto were the happiest eaters among those present, as they had similar appetites.
In the end, there was half a can left, so Kim Jae-yeon gave it to Mr. Yamamoto.
Mr. Yamamoto was going to go back and eat pickled radish, boiled water, and white rice. He was already a little impatient for his dinner.
Xiaoqi took Jiajia to the cafeteria and had a proper meal of rice. They grilled some meat outside, but their stomachs were still not very full.
Xiaoqi was also worried that Jiajia would have a stomachache, after all, she was still young.
After eating, I walked back to the dormitory slowly, digesting the food as I walked.
After returning to the dormitory, Jia Jia went to take a shower first, and Xiao Qi packed up his things and tidied up the dormitory.
Then go take a shower.
After a busy day, it feels really good to stand under hot water.
When it comes to taking a bath outside, Xiaoqi’s favorite thing is the bathing tools, because taking a bath in his hometown is very inconvenient. He has to carry a bucket of hot water and wipe it a little bit at a time, and it feels different from using a shower head.
The thing I want to buy most when I get home is probably a water heater. When I think about it, I find that I am still very pragmatic.
After taking a shower, Jia Jia lay on the bed and played with her mobile phone. She was so tired today that she didn't even have the energy to use the computer to edit the photos.
However, I still simply edited the video of Teacher Xiaoqi painting on the mountain that I took today and posted it on my Douyin account. Then I scrolled through Douyin and fell asleep holding my phone without waiting to see the likes and comments.
Seeing this, Xiaoqi helped her turn off Douyin and put it aside.
