The two elders walked out of the door slowly, looking at the backs of the two girls leaving. The old woman wiped her eyes and said, "Where can I find such good girls?"
The old man lit his pipe silently. He had a lot to say, but he couldn't say it out loud, so, as usual, he hid them all in the cigarette.
......
Girls are more emotional and many of them cry.
Boys may not have less emotions, but they are still much more restrained.
Lao Zhang and Lao Liu stood in the yard, each holding a large bag of bread in their hands. Although they didn't cry, their noses were still sore and their eyes were slightly red.
The kitchen was empty last night, but now there are two such big bags of pancakes. You can tell when they were made without having to think.
"Uncle Tieniu, Auntie, Brother Erniu! Let's go!"
Tie Niu hummed in a muffled voice, "Come and play again when you have time."
“That’s right!”
"Brother Erniu, it's been a while since you came to Jincheng with Senior Brother Huo. We will treat you well! Remember to call!"
Erniu raised the piece of paper with the phone number written on it and smiled, "That's fine!"
......
Before seven o'clock, college students arrived at the village committee one after another.
Sitting in the dam, the teacher in charge counted the number of people and emphasized some disciplines along the way and arrangements after arriving in Jincheng. Gu Daqiang made a thank-you speech on behalf of Hushan Village.
Then, Liu Xiaoyu used professional equipment to take a "family portrait" for everyone.
The whole process didn't take long because they had to rush back to Jincheng.
"When you came, you walked here. When you leave," Huo Qianli paused, "you still have to walk back. But I will still accompany you as I did when we came here!"
"ah?"
Everyone groaned. These past few days have not been easy. Their backs and waists are sore, and they have to carry so much luggage, as well as things sent by the villagers. If they walk for another hour or more, it will be fatal!
The teacher in charge naturally scolded again, but his tone was much gentler than before.
Who made these bastards perform so well?
Resistance was futile, so everyone had to accept their fate and, just like when they came, they lined up in two teams and slowly walked out of the village committee gate.
After taking just a few steps, the team in front stopped.
The people behind him shouted in confusion: "Go, why don't you go?"
When the team moved forward again, the people behind finally saw it, and then they also stood there in a daze.
Their road was filled with villagers who came to see them off.
There are no red flowers, no gongs and drums, but there is a sincerity that is purer than before.
A staff member glanced at Huo Qianli, who shook his head and said softly, "Spontaneous."
The staff member didn't say anything and just lit a cigarette silently.
Huo Qianli took Gu Daqiang and walked over quickly. He talked to a few leading villagers for a while, then returned to discuss with the staff and the teacher in charge for a while, and then waved in that direction.
The college students stared blankly at the villagers coming over, watching the grandparents/uncles/aunties/brothers and sisters they had just said goodbye to take their luggage without saying anything, "Let's go! We'll take you there!"
Gu Daqiang stood aside, lit a cigarette, and said calmly: "These bastards finally have some conscience!"
Gu Haitao joked, "Old man, stop pretending to be so calm. The corners of your mouth are almost curled up to the sky!"
Gu Daqiang glared at him and said, "Go help those teachers carry their luggage!"
Gu Haitao: ...
At the front of the team, Huo Qianli took a deep breath and said, "Let's go!"
After walking for about five minutes, a little girl on a large bluestone on the roadside waved and shouted, "Big sister!"
Song Yangyang and his companions in the team looked up suddenly, said something to the teacher in charge, and ran over quickly.
"Xiaoyue, why are you here?"
"I'm here to say goodbye to the older sisters. I feel sad that they are leaving..." The little girl, who was originally fine, pouted her lips as she opened her mouth, and she was showing signs of emotional collapse.
Song Yangyang quickly said, "Do you still remember the song the two older sisters taught you last night? Sing it, and you won't feel sad when you sing it."
She reached out and gently pinched the little girl's face, kissed her on the left cheek, and walked back to the team.
The team continued to move forward, and the clear voices of children called the mountains, forests and grasses on both sides to bid them farewell.
"Outside the long pavilion, beside the ancient road, the grass is green and endless..."
"At the end of the sky, at the corner of the earth, half of my friends are gone..."
"I ask you when you will come back, when you come back, don't hesitate..."
"Reunions are rare in life, but separations are common..."
......
More than an hour later, everyone saw the bus quietly waiting for them at the intersection.
They should have been happy, but they were not.
When I walked to the car and took the luggage handed over by the villagers I had been living with for more than five days, and looked at their faces, the emotions that I had been suppressing collapsed in an instant and tears burst out.
The sad atmosphere of farewell instantly swept the entire team, and many people were crying and holding their heads.
Jiang Li wiped her tears, looked at the old lady in front of her, and choked up: "Grandma, I want to tell you that you are not sloppy at all. You must have been very beautiful before, but you may have done it! You are the best grandpa and grandma I have ever seen!"
The old lady smiled and said, "Your mother-in-law and grandfather will be unhappy if you say that!"
Jiang Li cried and laughed while sobbing, "They can't hear me! Grandpa and grandma, take care of yourselves. I will come back to see you when I have time!"
"That's right, you should study hard too! Such a beautiful girl will definitely have a bright future!"
