On the way, the entire mountain seemed to be covered with a silver quilt, and some vegetation was covered with a layer of crystal clear ice crystals.
Qin Tianhu still underestimated the charm of nature. He originally thought it could be done in two hours, but it ended up taking three hours.
Qin Tianhu was extremely anxious, but there was no way he could do it. The sky had already darkened, and it soon became dark.
But when he saw the brightly lit village not far away, Qin Tianhu smiled. He finally arrived. He looked up at his watch. It was after six o'clock. Fortunately, everything was in time.
Xiaomei Village, village head school.
There are three teachers in the whole school. Now the other two have gone back to celebrate the New Year. Only Li Yourong is still in the school dormitory.
Inside the dormitory, there was a small stove with firewood placed underneath. The flames roared, dispelling the chill around the room and making the whole room warm.
Even though it was extremely lively outside, Li Yourong's mood was not affected in any way. Even though today was the New Year's Eve, she didn't have any disturbance in her mood.
At this moment, she was sitting next to the stove, holding a book and reading it with gusto.
The room is still simple. The wardrobe and desk are made of old wood. There is nothing else in the room, and there is no trace of any modern things.
After half a year of teaching life, her whole personality has changed a little, but she has become accustomed to the difficult conditions here.
After half a year of hard work, she finally became a person respected by everyone in the village. Whoever met her would always call her Teacher Li kindly.
She suffered a lot six months ago. At that time, everyone thought she wouldn't be able to stay long, and some even scorned her.
Some people thought that she was strangely good-looking. When she was taking a bath in the middle of the night, she found that there was an old bachelor from the village who was trying to peek. Fortunately, she found out. The village chief scolded the people and held a village meeting to curse the people in the village.
So far, the subsequent work has been carried out much better, and she has also used her actions to win the respect of the village.
In the past six months, she used her connections to get her best friends to send a lot of office supplies, stationery and books.
The entire reading culture, because of her infection, has changed the whole village.
Many people in the village were very surprised to learn that she would not go back to celebrate the New Year. Many villagers followed her and invited her to her home to celebrate the New Year, but she refused with a smile. After all, she was quiet and comfortable by herself, and reading a book was better than Everything is pleasant.
There were a lot of bacon and sausages hanging in the room, which were sent by some villagers during the Chinese New Year. However, she only ordered a bowl of noodles for herself in the evening, ate them early and read a book.
boom.
There was a sudden explosion, and a few seconds later, a sharp sound pierced the night sky.
Then the sound of popping filled the night sky, and the green, red and yellow lights looked particularly dazzling in this dark night.
It's fireworks.
Li Yourong turned his head and looked out the window, his beautiful eyes trembling. The fireworks were still going on outside. After all, the noise was getting louder and louder. It was obviously not ordinary fireworks.
Li Yourong hesitated for a moment, put down the book in his hand, and then came to the window and looked up at the fireworks that day.
This Xiaomei Village lacks material resources, so there are naturally no fireworks. Killing pigs during the New Year is their best reward for themselves.
Before she could have any doubts, another sharp sound suddenly sounded, as if a row of huge fireworks were lit, competing to bloom.
As she looked at it, tears appeared in Li Yourong's beautiful eyes, and then the tears flowed down. She kept looking up with her neck raised.
Her thoughts instantly went back to when she was in love with Qin Tianhu.
At that time, the two of them had just been together, setting off fireworks and Kongming lanterns by the river. Everything seemed to be vivid in their minds, but all the good things could never go back.
She knew that this bastard was coming, which surprised her, surprised her, and made her happy.
If anything else could not cause waves for her, then she had the same idea as Qin Tianhu on this matter. Qin Tianhu's arrival could cause waves for her.
The entire fireworks lasted for five minutes, and she just looked up with her neck raised until the last firework fell.
After reading it, Li Yourong wiped his tears and straightened himself before opening the door.
In the school yard at the entrance of the dormitory, Qin Tianhu was wearing a black coat, holding a blue enchantress in his hand, with a silly smile on his face, just like when he first saw Qin Tianhu.
Li Yourong looked a little dazed. It seemed that as he got older, he became more prone to recalling the past and becoming sentimental.
Although Qin Tianhu was giggling, his face was full of heartache when he smiled.
Li Yourong was wearing a down jacket and a pair of snow boots. Nothing else had changed, but his face was a little yellow. After all, his skin was not as delicate as before.
The conditions here are poor, the climate is poor, and skin care products have not been used for a long time, so there are naturally changes.
"A hug?"
The two looked at each other for two minutes, then Qin Tianhu raised his eyebrows and smiled.
Li Yourong pursed her lips and smiled, then took a few steps forward and gave Qin Tianhu a hug, just like he did back then.
"Come in, it's cold outside." After hugging him for a while, Li Yourong let go and pulled Qin Tianhu into the house.
The room is really warm inside. Although the small stove looks inconspicuous, the room is full of heat.
Abao and Ju Bing led people to set up a tent in the distance. The ingredients were enough for a group of people to eat at night. There were all kinds of barbecues and even hot pots, and there was even wine, so Qin Tianhu didn't need to worry.
The two of them sat next to the stove, and no one broke the peace. Only the occasional firewood made a crisp sound when it was burned.
At this moment, the two of them seemed to have so much to say, but it seemed like there were thousands of words to say, and they didn't know where to start when they met.
Qin Tianhu didn't know how to speak, he hadn't thought about it yet, and Li Yourong guessed Qin Tianhu's purpose, so he didn't want to mention it.
In terms of intelligence, Li Yourong was a famous talented woman in Beifeng City back then.
"You haven't eaten yet tonight. Can I get you a bowl of noodles?" Li Yourong suddenly said.
"Okay." Qin Tianhu breathed a sigh of relief and immediately agreed. After all, he felt that he had been seen through by Li Yourong, so he couldn't take the initiative to say anything.
At that moment, Li Yourong immediately got up and went to work in the kitchen. It was said to be a kitchen, but in fact it was just a stove in the corner of the room.
At this time, Qin Tianhu looked at the room. It couldn't be simpler.
He looked at Li Yourong's back with heartache and a complicated look on his face. No one knew what had happened in the past six months and how much hardship Li Yourong had endured. I'm afraid it had something to do with him.
Today was New Year's Eve, New Year's Eve. If he hadn't come, Li Yourong would probably have gone to bed after reading the book as usual.
Qin Tianhu started to think wildly for a while, and the memories of the past came flooding back like an ordinary tide.
Then he used his mobile phone to take a photo of Li Yourong's back and inside the room and showed it to Fang Mu.
In less than a few seconds, Fang Mu replied almost instantly, with only three words, urging her to return. Even so, Qin Tianhu could understand how anxious Fang Mu was as an aunt. Fang Ying, who had always been powerful, probably also learned the news. However, due to Li Yourong's character, he did not dare to say anything.
A bowl of noodles was quickly prepared, and it seemed that Li Yourong was quite skilled in cooking now.
It would be more accurate to say it was a bowl of noodles than a basin of noodles. Li Yourong knew that Qin Tianhu ate pasta and had a large appetite, so he cooked a lot.
When she brought a basin of noodles to the stove, Qin Tianhu was amazed, and the aroma filled the air.
"Knowing that you are a carnivore, I also bought some of the bacon and sausages given by my fellow carnivores. The vegetables are grown by my fellow folks, and the eggs are local eggs. They are laid by the old hens here. Everything is natural and cannot be compared with other places. The pork is all The meat of the native pig is delicious.”
Qin Tianhu immediately started using the chopsticks, and looking at the eating gesture, Li Yourong was satisfied.
Then he stood up and took a small bowl. This was the fermented bean curd he made to taste.
Qin Tianhu's eyes shone brightly, and he was very satisfied after the meal, and his whole body was filled with warmth.
"tasty!"
Qin Tianhu was satisfied and was about to wash the dishes, but was immediately stopped by Li Yourong.
"Go take a shower, stay warm in bed, and I'll wash the dishes."
Qin Tianhu looked dull and glanced at the room. There was only one bed. He planned to return to the camp later.
"What are you looking at? You didn't hug me to sleep when I was in college? Talk to me."
Li Yourong smiled angrily. At that time, falling in love was very simple. Even if they slept together, they would only hug each other, and nothing could be done.
Because there was a stove in the room, it was not too cold. When the two of them nestled under the quilt and leaned against the bedside, they talked a little more.
But most of the time it was Li Yourong who talked about things in the past. It was obvious that she wanted to find someone to talk to after such a long time. She was happy with Qin Tianhu at the beginning.
Qin Tianhu has been listening silently, but he is mostly asking about his life in the past six months.
At this moment, the two of them had a very tacit understanding and did not mention the Li family's affairs or Qin Tianhu's intention of coming here this time.
The two chatted for a long time. Even though it was New Year's Eve, there was no food, wine, or New Year's Eve party, but the two of them could get a lot of spiritual satisfaction from being together and talking to each other.
Until late at night, the two of them still had some unfinished thoughts. At this moment, Qin Tianhu finally couldn't help it.
It wasn't just for Fang Ying and Fang Mu's commission, but because I really couldn't bear the hardship that Li Yourong had to endure in this condition and environment.
"Yourong, go back." Before Qin Tianhu could say anything, Li Yourong immediately interrupted him.
"Qin Tianhu, I thought you understood me." As soon as these words came out, Qin Tianhu was speechless and unable to continue.
"I can't let go of these kids, and I don't want to go back and deal with all that trouble."
Looking at Qin Tianhu's expression, it seemed that Li Yourong was a little soft-hearted and his tone softened a bit.
"When I came here, I planted a field of lilacs outside. At least I have to wait until next year to see the flowers bloom before leaving."
"Okay, I'll pick you up when the time comes." Seeing Li Yourong nod, Qin Tianhu smiled with satisfaction.
"Let's just stay for two days and leave. After all, it's the New Year, so you should be busy now." Li Yourong said directly. Although she came to this remote area to support teaching, it didn't mean there was no news. She was still very aware of Qin Tianhu's current situation.
"Well, I'll stay with you for a few more days." Qin Tianhu didn't mention it. After all, Li Yourong's character would really make him angry if he kept mentioning it, and Li Yourong had already relented, so it wasn't easy anymore.
"Then go to sleep!" After saying that, Li Yourong took off his shirt and lay directly under the quilt.
Seeing this, Qin Tianhu did the same and hugged Li Yourong from behind. Although they slept together, their expressions and eyes were clear and there was no desire.
The two slept soundly all night, just like they did when they were in love.
