Wang Yige almost cried all the way in a muffled voice, no one in the car spoke, the atmosphere was silent and a little depressing, only Wang Yige's mother gently stroked Wang Yige's back, and he was a little guilty in the hearts of several adults for hiding his grandfather's death from Wang Yige.

And as the car arrived at the intersection of Kushan, Wang Yige also stopped crying, and behind his calm gaze were red circles under his eyes and tear stains hanging in the corners of his eyes.

I don't know why, the closer he got to Kushan, the closer he got to that Qingwa Hutong, Wang Yige felt that he was calmer and calmer, his eyes looked at the Kushan outside the window, he saw the new Hope School, and he saw the old mountain village primary school.

Wang Yige walked all the way to the village unconsciously, and saw the white tent erected at the mouth of the Qingwa Hutong from a distance, and the white cloth hanging on the bamboo pole was a spirit, but it seemed to be calling for the return of the wanderer outside. It's late, the dark clouds from nowhere cover the sunset, white cloth, paper money, incense pine branches, the atmosphere is a little depressing, but the crowd of black pressure seems to be very lively here, the men smoke and chat, the women gather their heads to pull the housework, occasionally there are people who have just returned home from work in the field pass here, see the white flag and white tent, they will ask: "Whose house is this?"

"Uncle Zhiyuan is gone. ”

"Oh, what a sudden. ”

"Who's to say it isn't?"

Wang Yige walked into the alley step by step with some heavy steps, through the crowd on both sides, and slowly walked to the door of the house, the iron door of the house was just asked by his grandfather last year, before it was a wooden door that pushed up and made a "squeak" sound I don't know how long, a pair of red couplets on the iron door, and now the couplets are covered by a square of white "lay" words.

Wang Yige slowly walked into the door and walked through the yard, there was an elm tree in the yard, which grew exceptionally tall and lush, and the branches and leaves were also very neatly trimmed. And this tree was born by Wang Yige's grandfather in the year he was born, saying what is the "same tree", as long as the tree grows luxuriant, Wang Yige can be healthy, the tree grows straight, Wang Yige will walk right, go smoothly, and also said that this tree can prevent disasters and difficulties for Wang Yige, and he can not ignore this tree until Wang Yige gets married.

This kind of superstition can also be regarded as grandpa's prayer for Wang Yige and another form of care, so this tree was taken care of by Wang Yige's grandfather very well, after all, in the eyes of Yige's grandfather, "the tree is good".

Walking into the main house, the grandfather's coffin was placed there, Wang Yige knelt down and kowtowed three heads with his parents, Wang Yige's mother cried loudly, the voice was very loud, this crying was from the heart's grief, but crying so loudly was crying to outsiders, according to the customs of Kushan, when the father-in-law died, the more the daughter-in-law cried harder, the louder the voice, the more filial piety, the more face.

Wang Yige's mother cried, and several other women in the family also cried, crying heartbreakingly, which made people can't help but be moved, and Wang Yige couldn't help but tears fell down, but he bit his lower lip and didn't cry, stood up and walked to the coffin, crying and saying with some pleading: "Let me see grandpa." ”

Several uncles and uncles glanced at each other, and then said with some embarrassment: "Yige, don't open the coffin, it's already cremated, it's an urn......

As soon as he finished saying this, Wang Yige knelt beside the coffin and hugged the coffin and cried.

Crying enough, it seems that he is tired of crying, Wang Yige sat quietly aside, there is a sesame oil lamp in front of the coffin, the flame is swaying and emitting a faint light, this lamp cannot be extinguished, everyone has to keep vigil tonight, and this lamp cannot be extinguished.

On the other hand, Xibei No. 4 Middle School, the whole campus is particularly lively, everyone is cheering for the graduation, and will be sad because of the graduation, but the overall style is still celebrating, tonight is the graduation party of each class, tomorrow morning is the graduation ceremony of the whole school, and then everyone walks out of the school gate, officially leaves, and goes their separate ways.

Lin Ping hurriedly sent Wang Yige back to Kushan, and then returned to school silently, he saw Wang Yige's sad look, and he was also very distressed, but he didn't comfort Wang Yige, because Lin Ping knew that life and death were things that everyone had to experience, no matter who it was, dignitaries or ordinary people, they couldn't get rid of birth, old age, sickness and death, this was a necessary thing in Wang Yige's life, but Lin Ping just felt a little guilty about Wang Yige. But at least I took Wang Yige to see my grandfather for the last time, which can be regarded as making Wang Yige have no greater regrets.

At the graduation party of the first class of the third year of high school, the students were talking and laughing, some were evaluating the scores, estimating how many points they could score, and some were planning a summer graduation trip.

"Hey, where's Wang Yige?"

"yes, what about the college bully?"

"I may have been called by the principal to prepare for tomorrow's graduation speech, he must be the graduation representative. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, one grid is one of our four brothers, an absolute card. ”

"You say, what will happen if Wang Yige fails the college entrance examination this time? Wouldn't that be embarrassing?"

"No! It is absolutely impossible to fail the test in one square! Even if I fail in the test, I will not fail in the test!" the classmate patted his chest and swore a swear.

"Cut, isn't that a normal thing if you fail the test?"

"Okay, you just eat radish first and worry about it, people have already passed Tsinghua's special tricks, and they have already been escorted, and the college entrance examination results don't matter at all, it's just to impact the top student in the college entrance examination." Now what you care about is not whether Wang Yige will fail the test at all, you should be concerned about whether Wang Yige will be a champion. ”

"That's right, isn't it because Wang Yige can't take the top prize in the exam because he fails the test?"

"Cut!" the people next to him booed.

"Isn't it? Isn't it? If you can't get the top spot in one grid, won't you fail the test?"

Everyone laughed.

That night, from the beginning to the end of the graduation party of the first class of the third year of high school, Wang Yige did not appear in the class, and at the party, every student went up to speak, except for Wang Yige, who all the students were looking forward to the most.

Where did Wang Yige go?

Once became the most concerned issue of the first class of high school students that night, everyone was puzzled, and could only wait with great anticrisy to see Wang Yige at the graduation ceremony of the whole school tomorrow.

At the graduation party of 20 classes, Lin Ping, as the principal, sent graduation blessings and took a group photo from class to class, wishing them a bright future and great achievements, and also hoping that they could remember their days in Xibei No. 4 Middle School.
