People who can talk know how to touch hearts.

Gu Nanzhi never denied this point, and was often made ready to move by Lin Zheng's 'sweet words'.

This sentence is especially special today.

The moment the light and shadow of the moonlight disappeared from Lin Zheng's face and returned, Gu Nanzhi felt as if he had found a lifelong support.

In the long days to come, as long as Lin Zheng was around, she didn't need to work hard to live well.

——

On the day when he went to the countryside to find Grandpa Jiang Zhe, Lin Zheng and his mentor asked for leave and insisted on going with Gu Nanzhi.

Gu Nanzhi couldn't help but agree.

Jiang Ran also followed her on the grounds that she missed her grandfather, but she was actually afraid that her grandfather's tantrum would be too harsh...

When he arrived at his destination, Jiang Ran realized that he was thinking too much.

As for Lin Zheng's honeyed mouth, as long as it is the person she wants to coax, there is no failure at all.

My grandfather's briquette face almost turned into a sunflower.

Jiang Ran brewed a jar of vinegar for herself and drank it depressed.

Grandpa Jiang Ran's clinic was opened in the compound of the brigade committee, and across the road was the only elementary school nearby, where school-age children from ten miles and eight villages went to school.

The number of students is not too many, and the teachers are even fewer.

According to Grandpa Jiang, the teachers here are all “all-rounders” who can teach all classes. When encountering left-behind children whose parents go out to work all year round, they have to act as babysitters.

The high-intensity work of the teachers is not worthy of the low wages. After a vicious cycle, almost no young teachers are willing to stay and "endure hardship". Those who persist are old teachers from the village. They are used to using chalk, even if Grandpa Jiang donated a full set of The multimedia equipment will not be used, and the whole classroom will be wasted.

Speaking of this, Grandpa couldn't help sighing, feeling that he had escaped from poverty and the poverty of life, but he couldn't get rid of the spiritual fear of being "backward".

They waited for several years, but they couldn't wait for a newcomer who was willing to calm down and change those old teaching methods.

Gu Nanzhi couldn't ignore the helplessness in Grandpa Jiang's tone.

She has been a teacher for 7 years, a high school plus a training class for 5 years of uninterrupted substitute teaching, and has been a teacher for a total of 8 years. Her 15 years of persistence in the same thing has made her love for this profession deeply rooted.

Hearing Grandpa's emotion, her instinctive reaction was to take a substitute class here and bring the experience she had accumulated over the years here.

But education is most afraid of anticlimax, she will only stay here for a short half a year, this time is not even the real beginning compared with the important task of cultivating a generation.

After she leaves, who will end the mess left behind?

Instead, don't start.

But she clearly has the ability to change something...

"Grandpa, our family Zhizhi is also a teacher." Lin Zheng who was on the side suddenly said, "She took a liberal arts champion in the college entrance examination, and later she passed the college entrance examination composition in a training class, which is very good."

"Really?" Grandpa asked with surprise on his face, "Are you really a teacher?"

A respectful "you" made Gu Nanzhi feel ashamed. She straightened her sitting posture and nodded solemnly, "Yes, I didn't study in a normal school, so I can hardly be regarded as an incompetent educator."

"Great." Grandpa stood up and pleaded sincerely, "Mr. Gu, we are short of experienced young teachers like you here. If, I mean if, if you have time, can you give it to us?" Teacher training? Let them gain some 'sight' and see how education is carried out in big cities."

"Don't dare." In order to show respect, Gu Nanzhi also stood up, "The essence of education is the same, but the educational facilities and methods will change due to different educational environments. What you said..."

Gu Nanzhi paused, and his tone was a little more affirmative, "I am obliged, and I have another request."

Grandpa Jiang, "Please tell me."

Gu Nanzhi, "I teach Chinese well, I can barely listen to singing, and my English reading and writing skills are not as good as above. If I am inferior, I should be called excellent. By the way, my teaching qualifications are from high school. , can teach primary school.”

In a few short sentences, Gu Nanzhi laid out all his advantages. Grandpa Jiang had a vague answer in his mind about what would happen after that, but he couldn't believe it. "What do you mean?" Grandpa didn't Definitely ask.

Gu Nanzhi turned his head and looked at Lin Zheng, who smiled supportively, "If possible, please help me arrange a few lessons at school, rather than 'teaching' the teacher, I would like to teach the children directly .”

Grandpa Jiang couldn't wait for Gu Nanzhi's 'request', and immediately called the principal to explain the situation.

In order to express his gratitude, Grandpa Jiang also gave Gu Nanzhi the newly built two-story building next to the school to live in, and at the same time promised her that all subsequent treatments will be free of charge.

Sincerity is mutual.

Gu Nanzhi fully accepts Grandpa Jiang's kindness, and she will definitely repay it with all her strength in the later stage.

——

After Gu Nanzhi settled down, Lin Zheng and Jiang Ran had to rush back.

Gu Nanzhi sent them all the way to the entrance of the village.

In the minivan before parting, Lin Zheng and Gu Nanzhi kept their fingers intertwined.

Although their farewell is not far away, it is still separated by mountains and rivers, and if there is nostalgia in the dead of night, it is all due to missing.

"Zheng'er, would you be unhappy if I didn't discuss with you about being a substitute here?" Gu Nanzhi asked her.

Lin Zheng retracted her gaze from the window, leaned her head sideways on her shoulder, and said softly, "You forgot? I took the initiative to tell Grandpa that you are a teacher."

Lin Zheng could see Gu Nanzhi's entanglement when she heard her grandfather's emotions, and understood her dilemma.

Now that she has made plans to be responsible for Gu Nanzhi for the rest of her life, she will naturally fulfill her love for her career.

It's just distance.

It doesn't matter, if Gu Nanzhi decides to stay after half a year, then she will try her best to stay with her.

"Zhizhi, the ordnance industry has an advantage, do you know what it is?" Lin Zheng played with Gu Nanzhi's fingers.

Gu Nanzhi shook his head, "I don't know."

Lin Zheng held her hand tightly, looked at the distant mountains outside the window and said, "You should go to the shooting range often to do experiments."

The institute contacted by Chang Yue and Lin Zheng is engaged in military projects. One is confidentiality, and the other is high risk factor, so the places for field tests are very remote, and the farthest one is in the desert. It is no exaggeration to say that it is isolated from the outside world. .

Lin Zheng was worried about affecting his life before, but now it seems just right.

"Did you see that mountain?" Lin Zheng asked Gu Nanzhi, pointing to the green mountain half hidden in the fog.

Gu Nanzhi nodded, "I see."

"There is a shooting range under that mountain, and I will often do experiments there in the future." Lin Zheng said, looking forward to it, "Others may think that the mountain is 'bleak', but I can see the school when I look up, and you are there, right? Suddenly feel that I am quite happy? So, do what you like, no matter where you are, you are still you, the one I want to follow."

Gu Nanzhi pulled out the hand that was tightly held by Lin Zheng, put it on her shoulder, and pulled her into his arms little by little.

Lin Zheng grew up in the center of the city, and she was used to the colorful life when she had no financial means. Now she is finally going out of the campus, becoming independent and capable of autonomy, but she has to accompany her to return to a simple and simple life.

This kind of gap even she dare not imagine, but Lin Zheng said it so easily.

"Thank you, really." Gu Nanzhi said.

Lin Zheng raised his head, avoided the rearview mirror of the car, kissed Gu Nanzhi quickly, and whispered: "Don't say thank you to me anymore, simplicity is the life I want, and your choice also helped me determine a suitable one. The road is a win-win situation, and no one suffers.”

Gu Nanzhi rubbed the hand on Lin Zheng's shoulder up and down, putting all his gratitude into this intimate action.

Lin Zheng loved Gu Nanzhi like this, put his arms around her waist, hugged her tightly, then suddenly let her go and sat up and said, "I'm leaving, take care of yourself."

Gu Nanzhi's heart skipped a beat, only then did he realize that the car had already stopped at the entrance of the village, and the long-distance bus that couldn't wait was also coming quickly from not far behind.

Almost without saying goodbye, Lin Zheng and Jiang Ran boarded the car for the return journey.

She didn't look back like in the movie, and Gu Nanzhi didn't chase after her frantically. One of them looked at the road ahead, and the other looked at the girl going away, and their hearts were extremely calm.

"If you want to cry, I will lend you my shoulder." Jiang Ran sucked her sore nose, leaning towards Lin Zheng and said.

Lin Zheng pushed her away in disgust, her eyes finally turned red, "It's not about life and death, why are you crying?"

Jiang Ran didn't expose her, but turned to look at the winding country road.

Gu Nanzhi still stood where she was, and behind her was a stretch of green hills, surrounded by smoke from the kitchen.

"Have you ever wondered when the next meeting will be?" Jiang Ran asked Lin Zheng a very realistic question.

When I go back this time, Lin Zheng will go back to her school immediately to meet with her tutor to talk about the completion of the project. The rest of the time before the winter vacation is to prepare for opening questions, and at the same time go to the research institute for an interview. After that, she will start an internship. Time goes by.

What's even more annoying is that this year's holidays have already been used up, and the latest small long holiday is also on New Year's Day next year, which is only three days before and after.

Lin Zheng opened the window and leaned on the car window to feel the cool evening breeze in the countryside, "I don't know."

"Don't you want to take care of Teacher?" Jiang Ran was puzzled. She missed her parents very much just because she was away from home for a day.

Lin Zheng closed her eyes, hiding the pain in her eyes back to her heart, "I want to, but the time is not something I can just say."

Jiang Ran sighed, "Hey, yes." She was a little afraid of falling in love, and it was too difficult to go to another place.

"Do you want to sleep for a while? It takes more than two hours to get to the station." Jiang Ran said.

Lin Zheng gave a low 'hmm', and lay down by the window without moving.

Seeing that Lin Zheng was not in a good mood, Jiang Ran couldn't bear to harass her all the time, so she leaned back in her chair to rest.

Just before falling asleep, Jiang Ran heard Lin Zheng speak again, she said, what did you say?

Seems to be…

"I don't know when the next time we meet will be, but I'm sure, next time, and every time I see her in the future, I will love her more than the last time."
