Chapter 488: You guys... usually live here?

When the female teacher came back, she quickly led them to find Song Shimiao.

On the way, Song Shiwei also learned about the teacher's situation. Her name was Yue Min. She was also a child from the mountains and the first college student in their mountainous area!

But after graduating from college, she did not choose to stay outside where there were more opportunities and a broader world, but chose to return to the land where she was born and raised.

Zhao Huili was curious why she didn't choose to stay outside.

Yue Min smiled and said that it was because she understood the vastness of the outside world that she hoped that more children in the mountains could go out and see the world, learn more knowledge, earn more money, and then come back to build their hometown!

Looking at the young girl in front of him, who was only in her twenties, Song Shiwei was actually filled with respect.

This kid is so great!

Xinxin also had tears in her eyes. In the past, she didn't quite understand her aunt, but at this moment, she seemed to suddenly understand the meaning of being a teacher.

Teachers are like candles, burning themselves to light up others.

Teachers are hard-working gardeners who cultivate the flowers of the motherland.

"Teacher Yue, you are so amazing!"

Yue Min couldn't help blushing at her compliment.

He waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no! It's not great or not, I just think that the children in our mountainous areas have a very hard life! The only way to get out of the mountains and change your destiny is to get into college!"

Along the way, they climbed to the top of the mountain while listening to Teacher Yue talk about the lives of children in the mountainous areas.

When they arrived at the entrance of a cave, Teacher Yue was about to say something when Song Shiwei and the others saw a woman carrying a wash basin coming out of the cave. It seemed that she was preparing to go out to wash clothes.

Zhao Huili and Song Zhiyong were stunned.

Song Shiwei also stood there in a daze.

The woman holding the wash basin was also stunned when she looked up and saw them.

Zhao Huili's eyes seemed to be glued to her.

Looking up and down at the person in front of me, I saw that she looked the same, but her originally fair face had become a little red due to being blown by the mountain breeze for a long time.

The pink floral shirt she was wearing was bought for her at a state-owned store the year she came. It had now turned pale from washing, and there seemed to be two patches on it, but they were patched with cloth of the same color, so they were not easy to see at first glance.

The navy blue pants he wore underneath were faded from washing, and had two large patches on the knees.

The cloth shoes on his feet were also very old and in a mess.

Her heart tightened and she opened her mouth.

“Miaomiao….”

As soon as the sound came out, her tears immediately flowed down her cheeks.

Song Shiwei's eyes couldn't help but turn red.

"Miaomiao, sister......."

Song Shimiao seemed to have just reacted. He blinked and tears immediately fell down.

She quickly put the basin in her hand on the ground and ran over.

"Dad!!! Mom!!! Sister!!!"

She threw herself into Zhao Huili's arms, and the mother and daughter cried together.

Hearing the noise, Shen Huaian hurried out of the cave.

He was also very surprised to see Song Shiwei and the others coming over!

"Uncle and aunt? Why are you here?"

Especially the road to their Kadazi Mountain is not easy to travel, and Zhao Huili and Song Zhiyong are older.

I really don’t know how they got here!

The mother and daughter hadn't seen each other for several years, so naturally they both burst into tears when they met this time, even Song Zhiyong was wiping his tears.

Song Shiwei wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and patted her mother and sister on the shoulders.

"Okay, okay, stop crying!"

The main reason was that Zhao Huili was old, and she was afraid that she would be too emotional and her body would not be able to bear it.

Teacher Xiao Yue standing by also had a low tear point and was so moved that tears streamed down his face.

Hurry up and follow to encourage.

"Yes, yes, Teacher Xiao Song, please stop crying. This is a good thing. Auntie and the others have been gone for so long, they must be tired. Please invite them in to have a rest!"

Shen Huaian on the side also nodded quickly: "Yes, uncle and aunt have worked hard all the way, let's go inside and take a rest!"

Song Shimiao then remembered that he was crying without thinking about how exhausted his parents, sister, and Xinxin must be after the journey.

He quickly pulled them inside.

"Mom, Dad, Sister, Xinxin, look at me, I'm only concerned with being happy. Come on, go in and have a rest!"

Zhao Huili happily grabbed her hand and followed her inside while looking around.

Song Shimiao led them directly into the cave where she had just come out.

The environment in the cave is very dark. As soon as you enter, it feels like a living room. There is a table and a few stools inside. There is also a small stove near the door, which is usually used to burn firewood.

There are two separate small caves further inside, and Song Shiwei thinks they should be bedrooms.

But the door openings were all blocked with cloth.

Shen Huaian hurried to boil some water.

"I'm sorry, uncle and aunt, I don't have anything good to treat you, and there aren't enough cups. Can I pour you tea in a bowl?"

Zhao Huili waved her hands quickly.

"It's okay, it's okay! Don't worry, Teacher Shen!"

Look, they merged successfully with Song Shimiao.

Teacher Xiao Yue went back to school because she had classes in the afternoon!

But when Zhao Huili looked at the living conditions in the cave, she couldn't help but tear up.

She whispered to Song Shimiao: "Do you guys... usually live here?"

Song Shimiao knew her mother was worried, so she smiled and explained, "Mom, don't be fooled by the fact that this is a cave. It's actually much better than the houses outside. It's warm in the winter and cool in the summer. The school hired someone to carve it out as a teacher's dormitory."

After she said that, Zhao Huili really felt that the cave was much cooler than outside.

But Song Shiwei understood that this was the only benefit of this cave, and Miaomiao probably said this on purpose to reassure them.

Housing is in short supply in the mountains, and building a house requires a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources, and the materials alone take a lot of effort.

This cave doesn't look like it was built specifically for them. It must have existed originally, and two small stone rooms were built inside it.

This doesn't require any materials or money, just some labor.

But seeing her sister's expression, she didn't say anything.

Because she could see that although Miaomiao lived in a cave, wore old clothes, had poor food and shelter, her eyes were bright and always radiant.

Teacher Shen is the same as Teacher Xiao Yue mentioned earlier.

They don't seem to think that these are hard days, but instead feel that every day is full of hope.

Song Zhiyong's eyes fell on Shen Huaian who was pouring tea for them.

Seeing how he treated people with grace and scholarly manner, he had a different temperament.

Perhaps this is what it means to be a man of great learning and elegance.

The man looked good, but he was several years older than Miaomiao.
