"Wow, Teacher Xiaoyu, today's lunch is so sumptuous!" Tiedan, a third-grade student, held the bowl and drooled at the sumptuous dishes on the plate.

In the past there was only one meat dish, but today there are two!

No wonder he was not focused in class today, it turned out he was confused by the incense!

"Someone gave this to us. Just eat it!" Song Xiaoyu scooped a large spoonful of braised pork with bean curd sticks, and then put two chicken legs and some Chinese cabbage into his bowl. "Eat it all. Got it?"

Tiedan wiped the saliva that had become a string, and obediently sat in the classroom with his bowl in hand to eat.

The other students were not much better, a lot of them were slurping their saliva, which made Song Xiaoyu unable to help laughing.

"You guys——"

She shook her head and laughed. After serving the last student some food, she packed some food for herself and Sister Jiajia and took it to the dormitory.

"Sister Jiajia, there's something delicious today!" Song Xiaoyu smiled and walked into the dormitory with a bowl in hand.

Chen Jia just finished editing the video and posted it online.

She put down her work and took the bowl.

Sitting in the dormitory with Song Xiaoyu, I finished a big bowl of rice.

After the heavy rain, Chen Jia accidentally caught a cold.

He started a live broadcast before he was fully recovered, for fear that his fans would worry about him.

Now that I have recovered from my illness, I have started editing videos again and can’t stop for a moment.

Work hard, really work too hard!

"Sister Jiajia, it's not too late until you're fully recovered! You've ruined your body..." Song Xiaoyu complained.

Chen Jia laughed, "How is that possible? I'm not made of tofu, how can I be that fragile!"

"In my heart, tofu is stronger than you!" Song Xiaoyu walked out with their bowls and chopsticks, "Sister Jiajia, we agreed to take another day off today, so don't sneak into the classroom to attend class! I will go to your class."

"Uh--ok." Chen Jia closed the laptop, thought for a moment, and lay back on the bed. "Then help me close the door. I'll take a nap."

Song Xiaoyu then smiled, "Okay, I'll turn it off now!"

Chen Jia didn't have time to think about whether she would gain weight if she went to bed so soon after eating. Her body was still tired.

After lying down for a while, I fell into a deep sleep.

She slept until sunset. She sat up feeling dizzy and touched her forehead, but it didn't feel hot.

I secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly got up.

Song Xiaoyu just happened to bring over dinner, "Sister Jiajia, the porridge I made for you—hiss, it's hot!"

She carefully put down the bowl and helped Chen Jia sit down. "Drink it quickly and go to bed early after you finish drinking."

Chen Jia picked up the spoon and laughed, "I just woke up, and you want me to sleep again? Even pigs don't sleep as much as I do—"

Song Xiaoyu said as a matter of course, "You are more valuable than those pigs in the village!"

After staying here for more than half a year, I gradually adapted to the hard life in the deep mountains and forests.

Everything here is full of pristine natural beauty!

The mountains and rivers are beautiful, the people are simple and honest, the air is fresh, and the food is not bad...all the previous city life seems like a bubble.

Song Xiaoyu doesn't miss the life filled with convenience, involution and busyness.

What she missed was the time spent together as a family.

This summer, she returned to the place that had previously made her feel suffocated.

Staying in the house where a family of three once lived for a long time, seeing the sunset that the family once admired... I don’t feel lonely.

She also gradually forgot those sad memories and came out of the haze.

You can also walk to your parents' grave with peace of mind and put down your mother's favorite green lilies and your father's favorite glass of white wine.

I smiled and talked to them about my recent life.

All in just half a year.

She still misses the voice and smile of her parents.

But no longer sad and depressed.

She found new values ​​and the meaning of life.

After the summer vacation, she started again with a photo of her family of three.

This time, she wanted her parents to see the place that gave her new life and the important person who gave meaning to her life.

"Sister Jiajia, look what I brought back?" Song Xiaoyu dragged a lot of bags and took a ride on a villager's tractor back to the town.

"Next time you come back, be sure to let me pick you up!" Chen Jia reminded her, "Do remember!"

"I was wrong. Next time I will definitely inform Sister Jiajia in advance!" Song Xiaoyu stuck out her tongue and ran back to the dormitory dragging her luggage.

They actually receive subsidies for teaching, but the amount is not much.

But in such a poor and isolated mountain village, not a penny of this money can be spent.

It's also a miracle!

Chen Jia also stayed at home for more than a month during the summer vacation, and her parents served her with delicious food and drinks.

My mother even stuffed all the clothes she had bought recently into her truck.

Chen Jian is no longer the shy boy he used to be. After several years of experience, he has become the pillar of his parents' pride.

More than half of the supplies shipped to the mountainous areas were delivered on time by Chen Jian.

I was afraid that my sister was not living well there, so as soon as I got my salary I would buy enough things and send them there.

The parents were initially dissatisfied with the fact that their daughter had not found a husband by the age of 30.

Thanks to Chen Jian's strong support and repeated ideological work on her parents, they are no longer so opposed. Every time she comes back, she never mentions this.

Chen Jiazhu is living a comfortable life, so naturally he won't come and go in a hurry like he did last year.

How happy I was when she came, how painful it was when we parted!

Fortunately, although the mountainous area is closed, her parents can video call her at any time if they miss her, so they can continue to support her teaching.

Chen Jia hung the more than 100 kilograms of sausages that she brought with her under the eaves of the kitchen, along with a few strings of garlic, corn and chili peppers.

Behind the kitchen, the principal's wife cleared a piece of land and grew some small green vegetables and daily spices, such as chili peppers, red and green peppers, and chives.

There is also a piece of wild mint, which has a very rich flavor!

When Chen Jia drinks water, she likes to pick two leaves, wash them and put them in the water, which is especially refreshing.

Even when cooking mung bean soup, a few slices of mint are added.

Song Xiaoyu laughed and said she didn't know how much mint she had harmed.

Chen Jia had no psychological burden at all.

Because she has never pulled out all the mint, it is growing very lushly!

After the spring rain, bamboo shoots sprouted from the ground overnight.

Before they could move, several senior students had already come to school carrying bamboo baskets filled with bamboo shoots.

Thinking about the taste of spring bamboo shoots, Song Xiaoyu swallowed her saliva, ran over and took the student's bamboo basket. The bamboo basket was too heavy and she couldn't lift it, so she and the student worked together to carry the bamboo basket into the kitchen.

At noon that day, bamboo shoots were the main dish for lunch.

There are bamboo shoots fried with sausage, bamboo shoots fried with bacon, bamboo shoots egg drop soup...it's so delicious!

Especially the bamboo shoots fried with bacon, with a little bit of the principal’s homemade sauerkraut, the taste is amazing!

Song Xiaoyu was eating with her mouth full of oil. She and her students worked together to finish a whole bucket of rice!

No one has this kind of fighting power!

No wonder her little face is getting rounder and rounder.

After eating bamboo shoots for a few days, everyone's enthusiasm finally died down. Taking advantage of the recent sunshine, Chen Jia and Song Xiaoyu helped the principal and his wife to process the fresh bamboo shoots and dry them in bamboo trays or on bamboo poles.

Dried bamboo shoots are also delicious and can be preserved for a longer time.

Bamboo baskets full of bamboo shoots were delivered to the school continuously.

The four of them dry bamboo shoots whenever they have free time. They are like an assembly line and can do it with their eyes closed.
