In the past two days, I have always been moved by some beautiful pictures and emotions. I can't help but want to capture some of this beauty.

Sometimes I think, what is beauty? It should be meeting interesting and loving souls, the resonance between souls at the same frequency, and witnessing the vigorous growth of the flower of life...

March of this year was the first time I visited Xinyuan Village. When Secretary Shu saw me, his interest was particularly high: "Teacher Jin, how good is this year?" As he said that, he pretended to take me to visit several newly renovated houses, "I will take you to see the canteen. After the repairs are completed, there are places for eating, cooking and bathing, and the conditions for those college students to come back to teach will be much better.”

Secretary Shu is the village party secretary of Xinyuan Village. He is about fifty years old. He is a very loving and dedicated eldest sister. . She particularly supports anything that is beneficial to rural development and the children in the village. Last summer we contacted several college students to come to the village to teach. The conditions for food and accommodation were relatively difficult, which made the secretary feel very guilty.

During this summer vacation, she, like the villagers, is eagerly looking forward to the arrival of some more college students to open the window for growth for the children in the village. On June 30, the afternoon when the students from Hunan University arrived, Secretary Shu quietly picked a big bag of vegetables from home, including eggplants, beans, peppers, loofah, cucumbers and everything.

Sometimes I come to the village headquarters to accompany Adu on weekends. The village committee members all have children at home and have to go home to cook at noon. We declined their invitation and stayed at the village headquarters to cook on our own. Secretary Shu was worried, afraid that we would deal with it randomly. As long as she was free, she would wash and cut the vegetables one by one, giving instructions like an old mother before going back.

Director Wu Xiangjiang and Juanjuan are of the same age as me. Although we don’t communicate much, our simple and straightforward personalities make us feel like old friends at first sight.

Last year, we took several college students to support teaching at the village headquarters of Xinyuan Village. Every day I went back and forth between the village headquarters and my home. Something suddenly happened at Adu's work unit and I couldn't go with me.

It’s not easy to get a ride in the village. A’Du comforted me, just ask Director Wu if you need anything. So, when it was hot at noon, Director Wu rode for six or seven miles under the sun, chatting and laughing with me all the way, and sent me on a ride.

In my opinion, it is a problem for new college students to have no place to live. A'Du thought it was very simple. He made the arrangements very decisively as soon as he opened his mouth: "Three will live in Director Wu's house and two will live in Secretary Shu's house. Three boys will live there. Deal with it on my bed."

Director Wu had actually packed up the bed in the room early.

In the evening, we left the village headquarters to go home. A'Du looked at Director Wu and warned again: "Director Wu, please send two students to Secretary Shu's house tonight."

The reason why A'Du was so commanding was because He knows everyone's temperament well and knows that everyone is a passionate person.

To make dumplings, you need leeks and corn. A'Du said, Juanjuan's family has it, go to her house to get it. Without saying a word, Juanjuan drove Adu back with two big bags of vegetables.

"You don't need to bring anything with you from now on. I have everything at home. Just tell me what you need." Seeing that I brought the meat grinder from home, Juanjuan told me again and again.

On the day of the event, many children came. Juanjuan brought her air fryer over, and she also brought milk, egg, and meringue to make egg tarts for everyone to try.

Juanjuan's warm-heartedness has long been seen by me. Once when I visited after snow, I came out of a house and found a clump of bamboos that had been weighed down by the snow on the road. The road was a remote path with few people walking on it. Juanjuan stepped forward to help her. After lunch, she and the village committee came to deal with it in person.

Director Song is a simple and honest middle-aged man who doesn’t talk much and loves to laugh and joke.On the day of the event, I just wanted to show him the magic of the meat grinder. Unexpectedly, the meat grinder stopped working after spinning twice. Director Song said, now it's good, I finally have a place to be useful. I picked up two kitchen knives and chopped the meat into earth-shattering pieces, cut the shredded vegetables into fine and silky pieces, and set the fire vigorously.

Director Zeng, tall and thin, doesn’t talk much and doesn’t like to laugh. He looks like a cold-blooded male god, but in fact, like Director Song, he is also a hot-blooded man.

Because of such a friendly, united and pragmatic village committee, Adu was often obsessed with work when he was stationed in the village in Xinyuan and was reluctant to go home. More than once, he said to me with high spirits: If you stay in the village overnight, you can do a lot more things. More fulfilling and more valuable.

I understand this deeply and am grateful to the team behind him.

The day when teachers and students from Xiangtan University came to Xinyuan Village, A'du and I were very excited. Summer vacation is a time for teachers and students to relax physically and mentally. These students are only 18 or 19 years old, and the teachers are only in their twenties. This is such a wanton and flying youth, but they work tirelessly, holding on to their ideals and love, Going deep into rural areas to conduct inspections and research is respectable and lovely in itself. What's more, their arrival brings more than just novelty to the countryside and children?

A'Du said to me affectionately, "They are all our little brothers and sisters. We must take good care of them."

I think so. They were our youthful youth, but they were far more sober and progressive than we were at that time.

team leader Jin Yao said that we can all endure hardships, and we can do it no matter how frugal we are. Anyway, as long as we have a place to sleep overnight in summer, it will be fine. We cook our own meals.

Everyone comes from the south and north of Shanxi, including Yunnan, Sichuan, Chongqing, and even teacher Zu Li from Xinjiang. We took the children to exchange customs from different places, visit Li Zhuoran’s former residence, cut paper together, make dumplings together, and even visit the villagers. At home...feel the simple folk customs and the diversity of regional culture. When

carried out activities, there was no specific division of labor. Everyone was quick-sighted and found their own piece of Anron where they needed to belong.

At the dumpling making scene, several little girls made a variety of exquisite and beautiful dumplings. I asked them, why are your hands so skillful?

"I did all this randomly." The little girl said shyly.

The so-called "chaos", isn't it creation?

"How do you do this, can you teach me?" As long as someone comes up with a new trick, there will always be a few children who want to learn it.

"Oh, so this is how Sichuan scribes do it? It's simple and beautiful." Everyone followed and learned one by one.

Some children were a little shy and wanted to learn new tricks but did not dare to speak. They only turned their heads slightly and glanced quietly over and over again. The volunteers on the side noticed it and did not show any signs of it, but deliberately slowed down the movements of their hands.

...

I watched and listened from a distance, but did not dare to raise the camera in my hand for fear of disturbing something.

This is more like a free and safe ecological wilderness.

Isn’t this the silent growth of moistening things?

sent two college students to the station to catch a bus. They talked about Chun Jun's speech. They both sighed: "Chun Jun's speech was so good. If it were me, I wouldn't dare. I have to learn from him." He did not hesitate to praise others. , and can find the direction of self-effort, isn't this the light from the collision of souls?

Teacher Zu Li said very movedly, we originally wanted to bring you something, but unexpectedly we learned a lot from you first.

...

A beam of light is illuminated by another beam of light, a drop of water embraces another drop of water in the river... Maybe, this is beauty and goodness.
