Xin Zhai

Tong Yan took a bite of the fish and a piece of bread.Lin Congshan offered him half a roasted sweet potato, but he didn't want it.He doesn't like to eat snacks, especially sweets, not to mention baked sweet potatoes, he will get heartburn every time he eats them.Besides, this was the first time he went out to play with his students, and he was arranged for food, clothing, housing and transportation.In his eyes, these students are all the younger generation, like children.He was a little embarrassed to ask him to compete with the students for food, or to feast in front of the students.

However, Tong Yan estimated that if it was Xiao Meng's two hundred and five, he would definitely "get along" with the students.

He sat in the back seat, with only a box of beer brought by Guo Qi next to him, so he opened a can, watched the students eat and chat while drinking.

By this time the early autumn moon had risen, and flames danced in the air.Tong Yan was in a good mood, and his nerves were completely relaxed.

Pu Liang shouted: "Let Su Xiaoqian sing a song for everyone!"

"Ah, Xiaoqian can sing?"

Su Xiaoqian kept his face sullen and didn't open his mouth.

Pu Liang smiled: "He sings very well, the background sound of our next copy is all his recorded songs!"

"Isn't it? Is that Xiaoqian?" a boy behind shouted.

Pu Liang tilted his head to look at him, and asked with a smile, "Is that you?"

Su Xiaoqian cursed, "Go away".

Everyone became interested after listening to it, clamoring for Su Xiaoqian to sing.This froze for a long time, Su Xiaoqian finally opened his mouth.So Zhou Shi, Liu Na and a few people who could sing all sang.After everyone had eaten and drank enough, and the singing was over, the fire had been extinguished, and it was really cold now.

"Sleep, sleep!" The girls are easy to arrange, and the boys have been tossing for a long time because of sleeping.Who snores, who has smelly feet, who has a good relationship with whom, who loves to quarrel with whom, Tong Yan sat and listened for a while, and he figured out seven or eight points.

When he came out, he didn't know the situation at all. He wanted to find a supermarket to buy some toiletries, but when he arrived, he found that this place was a pure wild place, and there was not even a small shop.Tong Yan spread the mats in the tent and took a sleeping bag.The sleeping bag is very light, and it can be wrapped from neck to toe when you get in.He was just about to go to the lake to find a place to wash his face, when Ye Li came over and handed him a cup, a towel, and toothpaste and toothbrush.

"The slope on the east side is gentle, and the water is clean. Go there and wash."

"it is good."

Tong Yan took the things.Ye Li turned around and returned to his tent.Tong Yan saw that his and Su Xiaoqian's tents were next to his own, separated by a few meters.The door faced the lake, and from his direction, only the shadows of the two people cast on the tent by the light of the emergency lights could be seen.

He went to the place Ye Li said, brushed his teeth, and washed his face. When he came back, he saw Ye Li and Su Xiaoqian sitting side by side in front of the tent, talking with their knees hugged.

Tong evolved the tent.Although there is a moisture-proof pad, it is still hard and cold to lie on.He just took off his coat and got into the tent trembling.

Although the equipment is fairly complete, it is much worse than the single bed in the dormitory.Tong Yan was shocked by the cold water, he didn't feel sleepy at all, and he was not warm in the sleeping bag, which made him a little more awake.

When he just lay down, he could hear the voices in the surrounding tents not far away.Everyone is still in the camping excitement, "It's cold!", "I have a rock under my back!", "This sleeping bag smells", "Wow, I can see the stars!", and the talk goes on and on.

After he lay down for almost an hour, his talking became very rare, and the calls of summer insects began to come and go.

He lay sleeplessly, and the moonlight came in through the small window in the tent, and his sight became clear again.

Amidst the crickets' calls, Tong Yan heard Ye Li ask in a low voice: "Is your mother okay?"

Su Xiaoqian said: "It's okay."

"How considerate of her."

Su Xiaoqian muttered, "I know."

"Go back and have a look every week, don't keep playing games."

"Oh, you are more annoying than my mother!"

Ye Li laughed straight: "I'm just telling you these words. They are more addicted than you."

"I know, this period of time... is extremely stressful."

"What pressure?" Ye Li picked up a stone from the ground and threw it into the water with a thud, "A Gu?"

Su Xiaoqian was a little embarrassed: "No, he is fine."

This "very good" actually means "very good to me", Ye Li understands.Su Xiaoqian was embarrassed and deliberately ambiguous.

"Oh, that's great." Ye Li picked up another stone and threw it out even harder.

The night wind was very cold, Su Xiaoqian was a little cold, and asked, "Aren't you sleepy? It's almost here."

"Go to sleep."

Ye Li stood up, took some things to wash, and when he came back, Su Xiaoqian was already in a daze.He looked at Tong Yan's tent, picked up his sleeping bag, and whispered to Su Xiaoqian: "Go to sleep, I'm going to find Teacher Tong."

Su Xiaoqian gave a "hmm" and said vaguely: "Tomorrow morning I will eat roast sausage."

Lying down, Tong Yan could vaguely hear the two of them chatting, as well as pebbles plopping into the lake.After a while, footsteps sounded beside the tent, and then stopped at the door of his tent.He was lying on his back, and turned his head to look at the side of the door. Under the moonlight, there was a clear figure standing.

The man asked cautiously, "Teacher Tong, are you asleep?"

The sound was extremely soft, but if he was awake, he would definitely be able to hear it.

Tong Yan didn't speak, and lay motionless.

Ye Li waited for a while, then suddenly sneezed and said in a low voice, "I didn't find any shoes, and I'm still barefoot. I came in whether you slept or not, it's too cold."

Then the zipper of the tent door was pulled open, and a burst of cold air squeezed in immediately.Tong Yan instinctively moved inside.

"Still asleep? Or did I wake you up?" Ye Li closed the door and asked in a low voice.

"What are you doing here?" Tong Yan's voice was very clear, and it looked like he was not asleep.

It was dark again in the tent, and then there was a rustling sound.Ye Li got into the sleeping bag, turned sideways to Tong Yan's ear, and said in a softer voice, "I want to sleep with you."

After Ye Li finished speaking, seeing that Tong Yan didn't respond, he also turned over and stared at the top of the tent.The two lay silently.The sound of insects outside the tent became louder again.

"The shoes are next to the beer box, why don't you put them on?" Tong Yan asked suddenly.

"After catching the fish, I couldn't find it, and I was in a hurry to grill the fish, so I didn't take care of it. When I think about it, it will be dark." Ye Li curled up his legs, warmed his cold feet with his hands, and whispered, "I I remember I left it on the shore, maybe someone brought it back for me."

Tong Yan didn't speak, turned over, turned his back to Ye Li and said, "Sleep."

"Oh," Ye Li also turned over, facing the back of Tong Yan's head, "I'm not sleepy yet!"

Tong Yan sighed: "Why are you so excited? I don't think anyone is as excited as you. Climbing mountains and fishing at night without sleeping and sitting outside throwing stones, do you think you grew up with Su Xiaoqian?"

"Hey, I don't know, maybe I'm too busy at ordinary times, and I haven't played so happily."

Tong Yan remembered that he spent his spare time working part-time, working on projects, and working for him. He also went back to be a tutor during the holidays. Compared with his peers, he really lacked a lot of entertainment time.And even if you have leisure after you grow up, the feeling of playing is different.Lost youth can never be found again.

"Don't come to the laboratory on weekends from now on, go out and have fun with your classmates, and you can go to distant places on weekends."

Ye Li smiled and asked, "Are you going?"

Tong Yan shut up and decided not to say anything, otherwise he probably wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

There was another rustling behind me.

"Your feet are warmer. By the way, the clothes you are wearing today look so young."

Tong Yan immediately asked: "Am I usually old?"

"I'm usually like a teacher, with a strict eye. Today I'm like a student, and I'm not afraid of you anymore."

"Hehe. I don't think you are usually afraid of me."

Ye Li changed his position again, lying up with his eyes open.

After a long time, Tong Yan thought he was asleep, but he heard his voice again, as if he was talking to himself: "I'm afraid, I was nervous when I first saw you, but then I don't know what happened, and I feel nervous when I think of you. "

Tong Yan ignored him, his hips hurt, but he insisted on not moving.After an unknown amount of time, an indistinct voice came from behind.

"Good night."

He felt that he had maintained this posture for about a century, and finally Ye Li's breathing was steady and even, so he breathed a sigh of relief and moved his stiff body.

The next morning, when Tong Yan woke up, Ye Li was gone, and the sleeping bag was cold.He was okay on his own, but his exposed face was very cold.He sat up, put on his coat, and got out of the tent.

The air in the morning is very fresh, because it is near the lake, the nasal cavity feels cold and moist.He stretched and took a few steps forward.The students hadn't gotten up yet, and the tents were arranged at intervals.Cups and plates were scattered in the open space at the door, and there were ashes from the campfire in the middle of the open space.Tong Yan looked at the place where he put Ye Li's shoes yesterday.The shoes have been worn away.

Then he raised his head and walked forward, and saw a thick layer of mist floating on the lake in the distance.The lake is wide and quiet, misty and dense with vegetation.Tong Yan was in a trance for a while, as if he was in a dream.

"Morning, Teacher Tong."

Tong Yan turned around and saw that Ye Li seemed to be coming back from a run, with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and his hair looked wet and black, probably wet from the early morning mist.

"Go for a run?"

"Yeah. It's really enjoyable to run here in the morning." Ye Li said as he went to get the prepared breakfast, "Did you sleep well last night?"

Tong Yan said: "It's okay."

"I lay down for a long time before I fell asleep. It's just after five o'clock this morning." Ye Li smiled sheepishly, "I'm really excited."

Then the students woke up one after another. Everyone had a breakfast of instant noodles and bread, and then began to pack up and return.

The process of putting away the tent is more troublesome than setting it up. You have to fold it neatly little by little, otherwise it won’t fit into the bag.This really took a lot of time.After packing up all the things, Ye Li finished counting them one by one, and directed everyone to load the car.

On the way back, I passed through the city and passed a low mountain.The sharp-eyed Su Xiaoqian pointed to the eaves on the top of the mountain and said, "What kind of pavilion is that? We saw it during military training!"

"Zhanshan Temple, Yiyun Pavilion." Tong said.

"That's right, this is the path we'll take after training!"

Now everyone was excited, recalling what happened a year ago.

Tong Yan also remembered that a year ago, the dean asked him to lead the class, but he didn't want to, so he took it anyway.He didn't want to because he felt that it was too energy-consuming, and he didn't want to do the work of being a parent to a child.Who knows that after taking this class, they can't help themselves.Thinking about the military training, Zi Lian also followed, and when he saw Ye Li, he racked his brains to help him.After helping him till now, in one year, he has actually grown into what he is now.
