Chapter 1 Fenghua
The beautiful Guo Zisu is like an elegant lotus, blooming spotlessly.

On the morning of the first autumn school day, Guo Zisu arrived at Qingshi Village Primary School on the back of a walking tractor.White high-heeled sandals, a white flowing long dress, and long straight black hair were parted on top of the head by a silver hairpin, and draped softly down the back shoulders.

Guo Zisu held one skirt with one hand, grabbed the railing of the tractor with the other hand, and jumped off the tractor carefully.Some parents and children who came to the school to go through the registration procedures immediately saw this otherworldly beauty with keen eyes, as if a fresh wind was blowing, they immediately ran over curiously.But they stopped about a meter away from her, formed a circle around the tractor, and looked at her questioningly.

Although during the internship, Guo Zisu had already developed her courage to face a large group of students and parents, but at this moment, she just glanced at the plainly dressed crowd before turning around and struggling to get her luggage from the tractor , walked towards the school.

Following her footsteps, the crowd of onlookers naturally gave way and followed her from behind her and from the left and right sides.

Guo Zisu went straight to the school where the toll office was written, and said generously, "Hi, teacher. I'm Guo Zisu, and I'm assigned to teach here. May I have your surname?"

The male teacher who was staring at her suspiciously suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly said, "Hello, hello, I'm Li Yimin, and I heard that a new college student came to us during the school district meeting that day. I've been guessing whether it's a man or a woman."

Guo Zisu immediately smiled happily, and asked, "Did my female teacher come here so suddenly?"

Li Yimin also laughed and said, "It's good to have a female teacher. The three people in our school are all men. It would be much better to have a female teacher. Hoho, hoho!"

As Li Yimin said, he took out a long wooden bench from behind, beckoned Guo Zisu to go in, and put things on it.He moved another bamboo high-footed square stool for Guo Zisu to sit on.Said: "Sit down and rest for a while, the principal will come here to see the student's payment situation in a while. He will arrange a place for you then."

After Guo Zisu sat down, the students chasing her squeezed hard towards the payment office.The toll office is actually just a desk at the entrance of the school kitchen as a toll counter.Now the children are crowded in three floors and three floors outside, and there are several parents who are helping the children to pay the fees. After hearing a "boom!", the weak desk first loosened a leg, and then Overturned to the ground by the students who fell forward in inertia.

The principal ran over immediately when he heard the commotion from the payment office, and asked loudly as he ran, "Mr. Li, what happened?"

The students were a little panicked because of the smashed desks, but when they heard the principal's voice, they immediately flew around like frightened birds and rushed to their respective classrooms.

At a glance, the principal saw a slim figure who was busy with Li Yimin sorting out the scattered coins and bills.I thought to myself, whose daughter is so beautiful?Why can't I recognize it at all.No, all the dolls in this village have read books in my hands, and they should call me immediately when they see me.This girl, could this girl be the wife brought back by some doll?Impossible?Although it has long been rumored that there will be a big shot here, I haven't heard of anyone who is very prosperous outside. How could it be possible to bring back such a beautiful female doll.

"Mr. Guo, this is our principal." Seeing the principal approaching, Li Yimin immediately signaled Guo Zisu to greet the principal.

The principal was stunned for a moment, and immediately took Guo Zisu's hand, and said loudly, "Welcome, welcome, we have four grades and four classes here, and we have always been supported by three teachers. You can help us when you come." It’s great to share the work of a class.”

"Principal, are you also leading the class?" Guo Zisu asked in surprise and confusion.

"Of course I have to lead the class. How can I be the principal if I don't teach?" The principal smiled and said, "We are a small place with only so many people and so many things. Just do it."

The principal glanced at Guo Zisu's luggage and said, "Mr. Guo, you have also seen that we are building a school building, the old house has been demolished, and the students are sent to the farmers' homes for classes. I didn't expect that the higher authorities would arrange for me to have a girl." Teacher, so I originally planned to let the new teacher live with Liang Gong, who helped build the school here."

Guo Zisu blushed, and said awkwardly: "Originally, the school district arranged for a boy to come here for you, but he felt that it would be too much effort to go home every weekend here. Anyway, I am from another province, and I am far away from home everywhere, so I just come here. gone."

"Hey, it's too inconvenient for us to go out on farm tractors or on two legs. For so many years, the teachers in the school have always been us locals. You are the first teacher sent here."

"Hehe, that's what the leader of the school district told me. He wanted to call you to inform you, but he couldn't get through."

"Haha!" Li Yimin laughed, and said, "There is only one telephone in Qingshi Village in the small shop next to it, and it always fails to get through at critical moments."

The principal pondered for a while, looked at Guo Zisu with a questioning look and said, "How about this, Mr. Guo, I will take you to Lianggong's place first. If you are satisfied with the room, I will find another place for Lianggong. If you don't If you like it, I will find another house for you."

Guo Zisu shook her head repeatedly, waved her hands and said, "Don't bother, Principal, I'm just like other teachers, I just need a place to rest at night."

"We all go home to live at night. You come from other places, the school should arrange a place for you to live in." Li Yimin said.

"Yes." The principal took it and said, "It's not easy for you, a girl, to come to our remote mountain from the bustling city. How can I feel at ease if I don't let you live more comfortably."

"Okay then. Just find me a place to live. I still won't go to Mr. Liang's place. No matter what the conditions are, he's already lived there. I'll choose another place. It's not good."

"It's all right. Mr. Liang is a very nice young man. Their company paid for the construction of our school building and sent him to be in charge of this project. The young man is very hardworking and doesn't care about it."

Guo Zisu still wanted to postpone it, but Li Yimin said from the side: "Mr. Guo, I suggest you go to see the principal and get to know Mr. Liang. You are all from other provinces, so maybe you have some common topics. You just came here from a different place. I'm familiar with you, we will all go home after school, and you also have someone to talk to."

The principal immediately took over the conversation and said, "Yes, Mr. Guo's accent sounds a bit like Liang Gong's. Could it be from Ningcheng?"

Ningcheng is a well-known historical and cultural city in the south of the Yangtze River. It has always valued culture and education. It has the reputation of being the first school in the southeast, and the residents have high cultural literacy.Its rich river resources, coupled with the continuous afforestation over the years, make it a very livable city.

It's amazing to meet old people in the backcountry.Guo Zisu couldn't help feeling a little joy in his heart, smiled slightly, and said mischievously, "I'm from Jiangnan."

When the principal and Li Yimin heard about it, they looked at the charming Guo Zisu in front of them, and then thought about Liang Gong who had arrived earlier, and said in unison: "Ningcheng is a beautiful place in the south of the Yangtze River. There are many handsome men in Ningcheng. It's really not in vain."

Seeing that Guo Zisu didn't refuse anymore, the principal took her luggage with his hands, gave Li Yimin a few words, and then led Guo Zisu to a big slope behind the kitchen.

The principal told Guo Zisu while walking that Shiqing Village is a place where Yao and Han people live together. Although the Yao compatriots still retain some of their festival customs, their living habits have basically been Sinicized.There are many mountains and little land here, and the pitiful bit of land is sandwiched between boulders, and there are not many things that can be planted.Local people like to interplant crops, such as interplanting rapeseed in the wheat field, soybeans in the rapeseed field, and peppers in the soybean field.Even so, the food produced here is still not enough to eat, and the relief food is allocated by the government every year.

However, these stone mountains have a unique charm in the eyes of outsiders.Every year when wheat yellow or rape blossoms bloom, there will always be some outsiders driving here to see the scenery, and sometimes there are cultural people organized by provincial and municipal cultural units.After they come, they will also give some donations to the local people, but after all, it is a drop in the bucket and cannot fundamentally solve the root cause of poverty here.

"The landform here, no matter how hard we try, we can't turn the barren stones into the soil that can grow food. Therefore, I never think about how to change this place. I just hope that more of my students can pass the exam. Go, take root in those places with good mountains and rivers, and live a happy life for them." The principal said, turning around, and gave Guo Zisu a meaningful look.

Guo Zisu didn't dare to think deeply about the principal's words, so she avoided the principal's eyes in a panic, and looked at the Qingdai stone mountain layered in the far sky, faintly, sporadic pines and cypresses could be seen on the mountain.

The principal shouted loudly in front of a wooden building, "Mr. Liang, is Mr. Liang here?"

"Principal, Liang Gong seems to have gone out."

Following a clear female voice, a woman with ponytails walked out of the room.

This woman is about 25 or [-] years old. She has a red face with melon seeds, a pair of flexible red phoenix eyes, and the tip of her nose is slightly upturned mischievously. Her ruddy lips look like two bright peach blossoms that have just been bathed in rain.

However, this woman was wearing a faded blue suit, a large black cloth apron covered with chaff and stove ashes, and a pair of handmade cloth shoes on her feet. The shoes may have been worn for a long time, and the front end There is a hole, and the toe can be seen inside.The upper is also covered with gray and black stains, mottled and messy.

Guo Zisu thought to herself: In this village where there are wild mountains and wild mountains, there are such beautiful women with outstanding looks. It's a pity that the life of the peasant family has turned them into such a mess.Now is the era of openness. If she goes outside and gets a little exposure, she might be able to find a good job and live a decent life. How beautiful that would be.

The woman didn't expect that she had stirred up infinite thoughts in other people's hearts. She looked at Guo Zisu with a smile and said, "Principal, are these Liang Gong's girlfriends? They are prettier than the fairies in his room."

The principal's eyes were wide open, and he pretended to be angry and quickly asked: "There is a fairy in Lianggong's house? When did it come? Why didn't you tell me earlier? How did you become a landlord?"

"Hahaha, hahaha," the woman with the ponytail opened her mouth and laughed loudly, her laughter was bright and crisp: "I mean the fairies on the wall in his house. Hahaha, hahaha" She couldn't breathe from laughing coming.

The principal and Guo Zisu also laughed.The principal said: "Chunhua, what are you talking about? It's such a mess. I really thought there was a Seventh Fairy hiding in Liang Gong's house." He pointed to Guo Zisu and said, "This is the new teacher Guo from our school. , Didn’t I ask you to put an extra bed in Liang Gong’s room? Now the new teacher is a woman and cannot share the room with Liang Gong. I will put her luggage at your house first, and then do it when I find Liang Gong. arrange."

Chunhua looked at Guo Zisu, and said with a smile: "The new teacher is from a big city, right? You are really wronged to live in our crappy house. However, the new school will be repaired soon, and the principal will arrange for you a big and Bright room."

Chunhua found the key to Liang Gong's room and opened the door, and what Guo Zisu saw was a 40-square-meter common room.There is a window at the back of the room and another window at the front.There are two beds side by side inside, one of which is fully covered with a men's jacket next to the pillow, it must be Liang Gong's bed.The other bed was empty, with a new slatted top that must have been made recently.The principal walked over and put Guo Zisu's bedding and luggage on the empty bed.

There is also a desk and a desk in the room. There are engineering drawings and several electronic books on the desk.There is a razor on the desk, a small round mirror, and a light yellow horn comb next to it.There are water cups, mouthwash cups and other toothbrush set against the wall.And near the head of the bed was a milky white photo frame. In the photo frame, a fashionable and beautiful girl was smiling lazily and mischievously. Her dyed golden curly hair fell on her shoulders, and a bouquet of bright flowers bloomed on her chest.

The whole room is clean and bright, and it can be seen that the man who lives here is a very tidy man.

Seeing Guo Zisu looking at the room quietly, the principal said, "Mr. Guo, I'm wronging you to live here for the time being. You know, the new school building will be repaired soon."

Guo Zisu smiled and said, "I'm not wronged, it's pretty good here. However, I'd better put the things in Sister Chunhua's main room first, and it won't be too late to bring them in after Liang Gong knows about it."
