C83 Another Four Years

After all the kids at Tea Village Primary School went to study in Mengla County. The school dormitory was not completely abandoned. "I was once a dancing actor. " It was a simple and direct response to Tao Huizhen's determination. In fact, she did the same. The dance class didn't stop for a single day.

Compared to the liveliness from before, the temperature of Da Tea Village Primary School had completely dropped. The five-star red flag in the courtyard hadn't fallen for a long time, and it hadn't risen for a long time either.

Tao Huizhen often nagged at Yu Er who was already in her first year of school. She talked about the period when everyone was in the past. Yu Er had also grown up like Qiuhe. She shook her head and did not speak. She stood up and danced. Like Qiuhe, she danced the traditional female peacock dance of the Dai race. For some reason, Tao Huizhen felt that Qiuhe and Yu-er's shadows overlapped in a certain part of the dance. Yu-er danced better and better in Tao Huizhen's dance class. Her days were also getting harder and harder to catch the shadows left behind by the passing of time.

It was winter in Dai Village.

Tao Huizhen walked out of the small hanging bamboo building and turned around to look. She confirmed that she was the only one staying here. She walked past the empty school building, pushed open the bamboo door that was slanted to the side, and entered the flat that Elder Li had lived in before his death. She was sure that Elder Li was really gone.

There were also footprints left by the animals in the yard. The footprints were filled with traces of time. In fact, there was nothing left behind by time. There was almost nothing that could be captured. However, when Tao Huizhen stood in the small courtyard, she could still feel the long period of time between the previous time scale and the current time scale. In this long period of time, Only the rising and falling of the sun constantly changed the black and white light in the small courtyard.

In addition, the scene in front of her also gave her that kind of feeling. Time pushed everything forward, but left her where she was. However, she knew very clearly that she was not where she was.

"Maybe I should think from another angle. Time should have left everyone and everything on the same spot, except for pushing me forward. It makes sense. " Tao Huizhen talked to herself as she walked. She walked out of the village alone. In short, she thought that someone was walking in front of the time, and someone was staying behind the time.

A minibus from the county to Big Tea Village slowly drove over. Tao Huizhen looked at it from afar. The minibus stopped at the entrance of the village. A foreign woman wearing a heavy suitcase pulled it down. Compared to her thin legs, the suitcase was like a heavy lead. She stood there, her long and slender heels almost piercing through the ground.

The collar of the thin brown trench coat blocked the woman's neck. She stuck out her sharp chin and raised her lips that were covered in lipstick. She sized up the village under her feet. Clear Stream Embrace. The houses in Dai Village could be said to be built beside the mountains and water. Although it was already winter, green plants could still be seen everywhere. Other than the many years of plants, there was nothing else. It was better to say that winter did not exist here at all.

Tao Huizhen stood on the small hill with grass.

She wore a tube-shaped skirt and her hair was braided into braids. Her face was flushed red as she welcomed the wind that came from time to time. She felt like she was a girl who was herding sheep in the wilderness. She looked at the girl who came from the city and felt that she had seen her before.

The woman turned around. Tao Huizhen exclaimed in surprise, "Wen. . . Wen Xiu?" This scene seemed familiar again.

Wen Xiu's gaze fell on Tao Hui Zhen. After a while, she saw a Tao Hui Zhen who was completely different from what she remembered. She didn't look like a dancer, nor did she look like a teacher. She couldn't say what she looked like. It was as if a crack had appeared in time. In the blink of an eye, she saw Tao Huizhen, who was many years later - or perhaps she was from many years ago.

"Huizhen, looks like I didn't come to the wrong place. Here. . . The air is very good. " Wen Xiu really took a breath of air. Taste it.

"It's really you, Wen Xiu? Why did you suddenly appear in Dai Village?" Before Tao Huizhen recognized Wenxiu. She had never associated Wenxiu with this moment. Either it was Dai Village without Wen Xiu. Or a literary show not in Dai Village. She should be in Australia, and should be in Shen Yang. Her appearance. . . Caught her off guard. It also felt warm. It felt like it had happened somewhere before.

Their eyes immediately turned red. In a total of eight years, the distance between the two of them had increased by quite a bit. Four years after graduating from high school, four years after graduating from work. The two of them were staring at each other and definitely reminiscing about the past.

Wen Xiu covered her face even more.

Tao Huizhen sunburned even more.

Tao Hui Zhen looked into Wen Xiu's eyes and had a thousand words she wanted to say.

Wen Xiu looked into Tao Huizhen's eyes and her face suddenly distorted. "Why aren't you going back for more than four years?!"

"I've been busy since I came here, so I can't leave. Those children from Dai Village had missed too many lessons. I can't finish my work. "

" You idiot! " Wen Xiu grabbed Tao Huizhen's arm tightly and leaned her body against her again. She hugged Tao Huizhen. Tao Huizhen had the fragrance of glutinous rice on her body. She also hugged Wen Xiu. Actually, she wasn't sad at all. Tears still flowed out of her closed eyes. She said the truth, "Recently, the students have all gone to the county to study. Da Tea Village's school was closed. Some people died, some people left. I started to have some free time. I started to miss home. It's going to be hard on one person. "

Tao Huizhen muttered. She held onto Wen Xiu's windbreaker. Wen Xiu thought of Tao Huizhen, who would rarely stop and shout tired, and her heart ached. "Then let's go home. " Then Wen Xiu started to cry by herself.

"It should be soon. I'll teach them how to dance. Some of the children are really good at it. " Tao Huizhen said.

Wenxiu stopped crying after crying for a while. She said that she had asked Auntie Tao Huizhen's address, so she came. She didn't intend to say it in advance and planned to give Tao Huizhen a surprise. Tao Huizhen started from Qiuhe and talked about the children at Tea Village Primary School. She talked about Elder Li, Wang Ke, and Dao Xiaotong, but she could not finish.

The two of them walked towards the village. They stepped on the cement road. "The environment here is really good. This road is really clean. " Wen Xiu said.

"I just finished cultivating in these two years. I've changed a lot in these two years. We'll chat all night and I'll tell you about it later. Wen Xiu, how's it going in the city now? How's it going in Australia?" Tao Huizhen had not been back for most of the past four years.

"I'm going back to China to develop soon. What do you think?"

"How's it going in China?"

"Yeah, it's developing very quickly. "

"From the news, I can also see that the various aspects of the motherland are exerting their strength. Even if I'm in the mountains, I can still feel it. In these two years, the poverty alleviation work in Dai Village has achieved unprecedented success. In the past, not only did the poor people around me not become rich, but they also broke away from the poverty line. Comrade Wen Xiu, It's time for you to return and contribute your financial ability to the motherland. " Tao Huizhen joked, "Welcome back. "

"After hearing what you said, I feel that you've contributed a lot. Sigh, I never would have thought that you've been here for more than four years. How did you manage to make it through?"

Tao Huizhen did not reply Wenxiu. The two of them had already walked to the lower floor of the Hanging Bamboo House. She took the initiative to pick up Wenxiu's large suitcase, which was heavier than it looked. "What is this place?" Tao Huizhen's face turned red from holding it in.

"It's a stationery and a book. It's for the children in the mountains. "

"Is that so? How long do you plan to stay? I'll take you to know those children. "

" I want to stay for a week " Wen Xiu replied.
