Papa 17 years old

【72 chapters】

The phone dropped in the middle of the call, and it couldn't be more deceitful. Zhou Yuan walked back to school thinking he was unlucky. Apologies for the sudden disconnection.

There are not many people in the deep mountain, and only one star light can be seen next to the school.Zhou Yuan sat on the ping-pong table in front of the school, facing the shadowy mountains, with his back against the light, looking up at the sky.

The night sky here is very beautiful. Even in winter, as long as it is clear, you can see a large area of ​​starlight. Tonight is also a starry night as usual.Glancing at the mobile phone that he could not receive, flipping through the photos he took casually today, Zhou Yuan sorted it out, and then sat cross-legged holding the mobile phone.Motionless, like a green bamboo stuck in a rock, frowning in the darkness, I don't know what to think about.

The team members behind were busy up and down, and from time to time there were a few clinking sounds of pots and pans.Such occasional noises made this silent mountain even more tranquil.When you are alone, loneliness is like the air that surrounds you from all directions, seeping into your limbs with every breath.In the silence of the mountains, Zhou Yuan held his mobile phone and had to admit that he missed those days when he walked the long avenue with Su Muran.

She propped her chin up, looking at the willow tree that could be illuminated by the light, in a daze with nothing to do.

"Teacher Xiao Zhou answered the phone, there is a beautiful girl looking for you~" Captain Shen's habitual voice came from behind, Zhou Yuan looked back with a puzzled face, and saw him standing at the door of the classroom with a small mobile phone and smiling rippling.

"..." Seeing him like this, Zhou Yuan jumped off the table tennis table, trotted over to him, took the phone in doubt, cast a strange glance at Team Shen, who shrugged his shoulders and ran to the kitchen to help up.Seeing him like this, Zhou Yuan held his mobile phone and cleared his throat and said, "Hi, may I ask who you are?"

"Zhou Yuan, it's me." Su Muran's voice came from the phone, in this dark night under the sky full of stars, in this empty valley with only the sound of wind, it was so clear.Zhou Yuan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but for the first time in his life, he couldn't speak, he could only utter a few intermittent words, uh... Ah... and so on.

There are so many things I want to say, but I can’t say anything... This is the first time that I received a greeting from someone closest to me on someone’s mobile phone while traveling. The feeling is too clear and strong, moving Filling the throat, it is enough to defeat the fragile defense line that has accumulated for more than ten years.

She moved her throat, but could do nothing but swallow the saliva in her throat.

"You suddenly disconnected just now, you really scared me." Hearing the other party's soft one-byte response, Su Muran went on to say this...

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yuan took a while to calm down his excitement.After putting the phone back where it was for a while, she realized that the upturned corners of her mouth hadn't dropped from the beginning to the end.This state remained until dinner, so that Team Chen, who was sitting across from her, looked at her suspiciously. "What happened to Mr. Zhou today? Could it be that you sent the children home today and the villagers invited you to eat meat again?"

"If she ate meat, she wouldn't be the only one laughing stupidly. Speaking of which, Mr. Zhou laughed so stupidly after answering the phone. Could it be that..." Captain Shen rubbed his chin and looked at Zhou Yuan with a hey smile, "Is it your girlfriend who called you?"

"Pa..." As soon as he said those words, the guy next to the table dropped their chopsticks in fright.

"Probably not a girlfriend, Mr. Xiao Zhou seems to be looking for a boyfriend." Team Chen said lightly, then brought the old godmother next to him and pushed him in front of Team Shen, "Here, Mr. Godmother."

"Thank you!" Team Shen scooped up a spoonful of old godmother and mixed the rice in the bowl, "But the woman who called had a nice voice, what are you talking about, may I ask where Zhou Yuan is~ Oops, That Zhou Yuan shouted so softly, I thought it was your sister at first. But now it seems~ Speaking of Zhou Yuan, is that girl your girlfriend after all~" Team Shen blinked at Zhou Yuan , with an ambiguous look on his face.

"It should be my sister, how could it be something like a girlfriend." A young team member complained, not agreeing with his captain's delusion at all.

"Kids, don't talk nonsense, listen to your brother and don't interrupt." Captain Shen reached out and patted her on the shoulder, looking like a young man who is still too tender.The young man turned his head and found that the partners around him didn't intend to interrupt, so he realized belatedly, oh, it's time to gossip again at the dinner table.

Thinking of the previous two nights, it was also the same. When eating, anyone who opened their mouths would be caught by him with embarrassing things that revealed their relationship history unknowingly. He immediately put a chain on his mouth and obediently stopped talking.

"Okay Zhou Yuan, it's time to eat if you don't tell the truth!" Team Shen looked at Zhou Yuan and said after finishing Xiao Xianrou.There is an unwritten rule in the team, which is equivalent to truth or dare, as long as you are asked a question during a meal, you have to answer the question honestly.Of course, the problems are all very moral things. In order to deepen the relationship between these eight players from all over the world in the short ten days, some necessary game methods are still needed.

Zhou Yuan was eating, and after cleaning up the bowl, he took the time to look up at him, and asked calmly, "Brother, what do you want to know?"

"Is the woman who called you your girlfriend?" Hearing this, Team Shen's eyes shone brightly, staring at Zhou Yuan.

"No." Zhou Yuan replied very quickly.

"Then do you have a girlfriend?"

"no!"

"Then have you ever had a girlfriend?"

"no!"

"Then have you ever had a boyfriend?"

"no!"

The two asked and answered very quickly.It only made the people watching the play stunned for a while.The answer to the four consecutive questions was no. After asking for a while, Team Shen stared at Zhou Yuan and frowned. He frowned, looked at Zhou Yuan flicking the long bangs on his forehead, and suddenly smiled, "That's good, As a good brother, no, it’s a good sister, would you like to introduce that girl to me just now? My brother has been single for many years~”

"No way!" Zhou Yuan stared at Team Shen and smiled, "Brother, you look so sissy!"

"Damn it! You beast!" Zhou Yuan said simply!Just like half a year ago, they couldn't dig anything from Zhou Yuan, so the Shen team could only give up the path of digging materials from Zhou Yuan and move to other team members.These days, young people with little feelings are really annoying!

Looking at Team Shen with a resentful expression on his face, Zhou Xiaoyuan smiled unkindly.

The winter camp ended earlier than expected. Due to the problem of the return journey of each team member, it only lasted for eight days.On the day when the activity ended, the children picked wild plum blossoms and wild vegetables from the mountains, tied them together to make bouquets, and gave them to the teacher as practical gifts.On the long mountain road from the school to the gravel road, the children followed behind and shouted over and over again, "Goodbye teacher, goodbye teacher Chen, goodbye teacher Shen, you must come back to see us!"

The childish voice echoed in the mountains, driving the cold winter out of the valley over and over again.Zhou Yuan knew that the good-bye was not for those teachers who stayed for only one month or ten or eight days, but for the two team Chen and Team Shen who had been with them here for two years.

This place is a teaching site, and Team Chen and Team Shen are both unregistered volunteer teachers. When they came here, they agreed to stay for only one year, but they ended up staying for two years.Therefore, this year is their last year here.The children all know this fact, that's why they feel so reluctant when parting.

The hard shoes made a creaking sound when they stepped on the gravel under their feet.The people around were all carrying heavy travel bags, and when they heard the child say goodbye so vigorously behind them, they all remained silent.Zhou Yuan was walking beside Team Shen, watching him keep his head down and walking forward silently, so he said, "If you climb further, you will reach the top of the mountain, and you won't be able to see them after crossing the top of the mountain. Don't you plan to say goodbye to them?"

He sniffed, lowered his head and ignored Zhou Yuan.Team Chen at the side reached out and patted him on the shoulder, "Masters from Sichuan, it's time to say goodbye to the children."

As a result, Zhou Yuan saw that this young man who was usually joking and not doing anything right, with long hair making him look like an artist, suddenly raised his head, wiped his tears, turned around, opened his hands like a trumpet, and shouted hoarsely, "Students! Class is over! Goodbye!"

Standing on the top of the mountain, he yelled at the school surrounded by mountains.His echoes came from the valley, over and over again, the voices were so powerful.The children's voices disappeared for a while, and after a while, a louder voice came from below, "Goodbye, teacher!"

Finally, those young people who were holding back their tears along the way burst into tears.

Zhou Yuan lowered his head, looked at Shen Tui who was walking in front of him and raised his hand to wipe his tears from time to time, feeling heavy in his heart.This was the grandest parting she had ever seen... and also, the heaviest parting.In the past 18 years, there has never been a parting with anyone that made her feel this way...

Team Chen next to him looked at Team Shen, who was flushed from crying, and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him, "Why are you crying? It's not like I won't be able to come back in the future."

"Damn! I didn't cry, I just got sand in my eyes!" He waved his hands and covered his face in embarrassment.

I have to say, seeing a big man crying like this Zhou Yuan felt pretty stupid.But... She turned her head, looked at the setting sun hidden behind the heavy rocky mountains, and let out a long sigh of relief.

Life is a long road, who knows whether the so-called goodbye can be seen again?

Just like Team Shen and Team Chen, they both came out to be volunteers when they were young. At that time, they didn’t have to worry about supporting their families. Even with a monthly allowance of only 200 yuan, they were willing to work in this barren place. Staying for the kids, because just being alone.But what about the future?Getting married, having children, taking on the responsibilities of a man, working hard to earn money for the family, how sure are they that they will be able to return to this place where they dedicated their youth for this?

So, how can you say goodbye...

The reality is so helpless... That's why parting is so sad...

So, say goodbye, then never see you again.Let the day of leaving, for the day of never seeing you again, become the best moment in my life when I remember you, deeply hidden in my heart... Saying goodbye when we keep good memories of each other is also life It's a rare happiness inside, isn't it?

Thinking of this, Zhou Yuan took out his mobile phone, facing the distant mountains, and took the last photo of this place.

On January 2014, 1, she officially bid farewell to this place that gave her fond memories for more than a month...
