The seasons change, the moon hangs high in the sky, and years pass in the blink of an eye.
After graduating from university and obtaining a teacher's certificate, Yun Xiang took the exam for the "Three Supports and One Assistance" program and was subsequently assigned to teach in Qinshan Ani Village for two years.
It was drizzling the day Yunxiang reported to Ani Village. From the bustling city to the deep mountains, he walked along winding paths, along gurgling streams, and even traversed the steepest mountain roads.
Along the way, Yun Xiang kept thinking, it was already so difficult to walk in from the outside. How much harder would it be to walk out from the inside?
There were two people who came to pick up Yunxiang, an older man and a younger girl. The older man carried Yunxiang's luggage back to the village first, while the younger girl stayed behind to accompany Yunxiang on their journey.
She had her hair in a small braid and was wearing a raincoat that did not keep out the rain, and the rain soaked her hair.
But when she came to pick up Yunxiang, she gave Yunxiang a new raincoat that was intact.
Yun Xiang didn't wear it, but instead gave her this nice raincoat. She tried to refuse, but Yun Xiang couldn't persuade her, so she had to wear it.
The little girl was beautiful, with a pair of dark, bright eyes. Her smile was simple and innocent. Yun Xiang could see caution and timidity in her eyes, but he could also see the mountains and rivers reflected in them.
The clothes she was wearing were too big and didn't look like her size.
As Yun Xiang was looking at her, he heard her say, "Sister, after crossing the small bridge ahead, we'll reach Ani Village."
Her voice was very clear, like a lark in the mountains. Yun Xiang particularly liked it.
"What grade are you in?" Yun wanted to ask her.
She said, “Second grade.”
Yun wanted to know, she was studying late.
Finally reaching the small bridge, Yun Xiang saw a group of bungalows and stopped.
The houses here are sparsely built, either beside the stream or at the foot of the mountain. It seems that there are only a few families left.
Perhaps because a new teacher was coming, Yun Xiang saw a group of people in the distance. They were holding a red banner that read: Welcome New Teacher.
One of the female teachers waved at them and walked towards them quickly.
Yun Xiang looked at the little girl and followed her down the bridge.
"Teacher Lin!" The little girl ran over and hugged the female teacher.
The female teacher smiled and nodded, "Wanlai, thank you for your hard work."
Hearing this name, Yun Xiang was in a trance for a moment. She looked at the little girl in front of her in disbelief, and whispered her name in her heart, "Wanlai, Wanlai?"
"I've brought the new teacher here!" After saying that, she turned her head and secretly glanced at Yun Xiang, then hid behind Teacher Lin embarrassedly.
Yun Xiang looked at her in surprise.
She turned out to be Wanlai. Wansui’s sister, Wanlai!
Teacher Lin: "Teacher Yun, thank you for your hard work on this journey."
Yun Xiang shook his head and said, "The scenery along the way is beautiful, it's not hard at all."
Teacher Lin: "Shall we go to school now?"
Yun Xiang nodded. The other students who weren't attending class followed obediently behind him. Yun Xiang saw a kind of innocence in their eyes that he had never seen before.
Each of them is like a blank sheet of paper, so clean.
During this time, Yun Xiang secretly looked at Wan Lai several times. She was a little different from her classmates.
As he approached the school, Yun Xiang saw a tall silver iron gate.
Teacher Lin said, "Teacher Yun, the iron gate of our school is not usually opened casually, and no outsiders are allowed to enter the school. You can rest assured about safety."
Yun Xiang nodded.
Before she decided to come here, Cheng Che investigated the place thoroughly.
If safety wasn't guaranteed, how could he let himself come?
The school's playground wasn't big, with a few pieces of exercise equipment and a basketball hoop. The teaching building was a large, gray, flat-floor structure, also with a sign saying "Welcome New Teachers!"
Under the guidance of Teacher Lin, Yun Xiang met two other teachers.
After completing the registration and making the bed, Yun Xiang was so tired that he lay down on the bed and didn't want to move.
Because of the rain, the weather outside the window was very gloomy and the dormitory became wet.
Ding—the phone rang.
Yun Xiang grabbed his phone, saw the video message, and immediately sat up. It was Cheng Che!
The video call was answered and Cheng Che's face appeared on the phone screen.
He was in the lounge, wearing his training uniform. Yun Xiang was afraid he would worry about her, so as soon as the video call was connected, she immediately called out with a smile, "Cheng Che~"
Cheng Che looked at Yun Xiang, frowned, and looked at him with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.
After graduating, Cheng Che successfully passed the national exam and was assigned to the Shenyang Fire Brigade. He is now a fourth-level fire rescue commander and a grassroots cadre.
Yun Xiang poked the screen and asked him, "Why are you frowning? Are you unhappy about video chatting with me?"
Cheng Che was displeased, "You didn't even send me a message when you arrived. Don't you know I'll be worried?"
"No, I just made my bed and was thinking of video chatting with you." Yun Xiang showed him the dormitory environment.
Cheng Che's expression grew even more serious after reading this. This environment was far from ideal.
Yun thought, "Cheng Che, guess who I saw here?"
"I know." Cheng Che pursed his lips, his expression less grim, "Long live my sister."
"You know?" Yun Xiang smiled.
"Why else do you think I'd let you go there?" Cheng Che snorted coldly.
Yun Xiang just smiled and said nothing.
In the silence, Cheng Che spoke first, "Xiao Wan said you can send it to town by express. If you need something but can't buy it, just tell me and I'll send it to you."
Yun Xiang nodded obediently, "Okay."
