Chapter 489 "Teacher Song, we can't bear to part with you!"

He also felt Song Zhiyong looking at him, and smiled as he handed the bowl in his hand to him.

"Uncle, have some tea! This is the fresh tea leaves that Miaomiao and I picked a while ago. We dried them and prepared them. Please try it!"

Song Zhiyong took the bowl and looked at the tea base, which was a dense emerald green, and the tea soup, which was transparent and bright without impurities. He blew on it gently and took a sip. It was smooth and mellow in the mouth. After it went down the throat, he could feel a sweetness at the bottom of his throat and the fragrance of tea lingering in his mouth.

He is also a tea lover, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Good tea!"

Song Shiwei also tasted it and found it was indeed good!

"I didn't expect Teacher Shen to have this skill!"

Shen Huaian smiled.

"I didn't know how to do it before, but I learned it from the local tea farmers here! This tea is also fresh tea picked from the tea garden after the rain!"

Seeing that her parents seemed to be hesitant to speak, and seeing that it was almost noon, Song Shimiao hurriedly sent Shen Huaian to pick up some firewood for cooking.

Shen Huaian agreed with a smile.

"Uncles and aunts, I'll be leaving for a while!"

Having said that, he turned around and went to collect firewood.

Zhao Huili was quite pleased to see that he listened so much to Song Shimiao.

She pinched the girl's face.

"When did you two get together?"

When Song Shimiao was asked about these things, his face turned red with embarrassment.

"I, we were together for the past two years......"

"It's been two years???"

Zhao Huili couldn't help but exclaim!

"Oh, Mom......."

Song Shimiao couldn't help but grab his mother's arm and act coquettishly.

"Mom, I didn't mean to hide this from you. Communications here are really not well developed! I have to run to a faraway town to write a letter to you. It sometimes takes two or three days to go back and forth. The children in school can't leave anyone alone!"

"You must have seen that Teacher Xiaoyue and Teacher Yang are teaching this morning, and Huai'an and I are teaching in the afternoon! There are only four teachers in the school! Children from all over the country go to school here. It's not easy for the children to come here. If there are no teachers, what will happen to those children?"

Zhao Huili was just talking, she didn't really blame her.

It was nothing more than worry, but when she came here and saw the environment where she and Shen Huaian lived, all she felt was heartache.

Song Shiwei asked her about Shen Huaian's situation.

Only then did I know that Shen Huaian's family was also from Beijing, and was the son of a high-ranking official.

Both his parents work in the unit, and he has an older brother and a younger sister.

He had also told his parents about their relationship, and they naturally agreed to it. They were also planning to wait for the two children to return home so that they could propose marriage in person!

Zhao Huili and Song Zhiyong listened and nodded.

This child is quite sensible!

I think since my parents work in the government, they are probably not the kind of unreasonable people, so the daughter won't suffer too much if she marries into their family.

Just as I was thinking about it, Shen Huaian came back collecting firewood.

He also went to a nearby villager's house to buy eggs and vegetables. Some time ago, a family had just hunted a wild boar in the mountains, so he also bought ten kilograms of wild boar meat.

Seeing this, Song Shiwei smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'll make lunch today! You all take a rest!"

Shen Huaian waved his hand and said, "You have come from so far away, how can I let you cook? I'll do it! I can do it!"

Song Shimiao smiled and held his arm, a little embarrassedly saying: "Second sister's cooking is delicious. It's been a long time since I tasted my second sister's cooking. Just let my sister cook, and you just help her!"

When she said this, everyone laughed.

At noon, Song Shiwei stir-fried pork with peppers, cabbage with vinegar, dry-pot potatoes, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes. There were not many ingredients, and even fewer seasonings. As the saying goes, a good cook cannot cook without rice.

She can only cook some home-cooked meals.

As for the staple food, although they can’t eat white flour, the school still has people deliver them mixed grain noodles every month!

So, together with the mixed grains, everyone enjoyed the meal.

During the meal, they talked about the two of them. Shen Huaian said firmly, "Uncle and aunt, don't worry, I will treat Miaomiao well in my life!"

But Zhao Huili was obviously still worried.

"So, are you going to live like this in this valley for the rest of your life?"

Shen Huaian was silent for a while.

Song Shimiao also saw it and said quickly: "Mom......."

Shen Huaian pursed his lips.

"Uncle, aunt, I know, I'm sorry for you and Miaomiao. For now, I can only let her live a hard life with me. Although it's hard now, I don't believe it will always be hard in the future. Those children will definitely get out of the mountains, and our motherland will eventually become more and more prosperous! The lives of ordinary people will definitely get better and better!"

Song Shimiao pulled her hand with some embarrassment.

"Mom, I also want to stay here. I want to be with Huai'an. This is our persistence and dream! I hope you can understand!"

Song Shiwei quietly tugged at Zhao Huili's sleeve on the ground.

She sighed deeply and waved her hands.

"Okay, okay, whatever you want. It's up to you! But since you two have decided to be together, why don't you just do it as soon as possible? It's just right that we are here this time, and you can go back with us!"

As she spoke, she looked up at Shen Huaian.

"We'll meet your parents too! Let's discuss it together!"

Shen Huaian and Song Shimiao looked at each other happily when they saw that she agreed.

"Okay, uncle and aunt, then Miaomiao and I will go back with you this time! In the afternoon, we will ask for leave from the school principal!"

Zhao Huili and Song Zhiyong also laughed.

"Okay, okay, come and eat! Eat! Hurry up and eat! Look, the food is getting cold!"

After dinner, Shen Huaian and Song Shimiao were going to school. Zhao Huili and the others had nothing to do anyway, so they just went with them to take a look at the school.

The school principal is an old man in his late sixties, with gray hair and beard, wearing glasses, and he has a very kind smile.

"Oh, you are Teacher Xiao Song's family! Thank you so much for raising such a good child! The children are getting married, so I will definitely approve their vacation. Teacher Xiao Shen, how many days off do you want?"

Shen Huaian looked at Song Shimiao and hesitated.

So is Song Shimiao.

After thinking for a while, she said, "How about taking ten days first?"

The principal was just about to nod when the class was over.

Some children heard that they were going to ask for leave and came running over.

"Teacher Song, are you leaving?"

"Teacher Song, can you please not leave?"

"Teacher Song, we can't bear to part with you!"

As they talked, the group of children began to cry.

Song Shiwei glanced at the group of children.

They were wearing tattered clothes, and some of their cloth shoes had holes in them.

Their dark little faces were all flushed with highland red.

But their eyes are so pure.

With tears in their eyes, they gathered around Song Shimiao and Shen Huaian.

"Teacher Song, I have memorized all the texts you asked me to recite last time. Teacher Song, please don't leave!"

"Teacher, I will study hard and be obedient. I just ask you not to leave!"

Song Shimiao's tears fell down in big drops. She wiped her tears and said with a smile: "I'm not leaving. I'm just asking for leave to go home. I'll be back after a while!"
