At night vigil, Wang Yige's father looked at Wang Yige on the side and sighed and said: "Yige, don't blame us for not telling you this, you are about to take the exam, I am afraid that it will affect you, and your father doesn't want to......"

Wang Yige nodded quietly: "It's okay, Dad." ”

"Go to bed, your uncle and your third uncle will keep watch for the rest ......of the night," Wang Yige's father continued.

Wang Yige shook his head and said stubbornly: "It's okay, I'll keep it too." ”

Everyone couldn't persuade Wang Yige, Wang Yige just shook his head and didn't speak, everyone had to give up, and Wang Yige sat on the small bench next to him and kept watch all night.

Wang Yige didn't show up at the class's graduation party that night, and he didn't go back to the dormitory, so the roommates in the dormitory were so anxious, Wei Wei called to tell Teacher Lin Ping, and Lin Ping replied on the phone: "It's okay, you go to sleep, Yige went back to Kushan, there are some things that need to be dealt with." ”

Wei Wei heard Teacher Lin Ping say that Wang Yige had returned to Kushan, and vaguely guessed what was going on, but he didn't talk nonsense, just said to the other roommates, "Yige has something to do, go home."

The next day, at nine o'clock in the morning, at the graduation ceremony of the whole school, Wang Yige still did not appear, and the students of the first class of the third year of high school were even more regretful and confused......

On the other side, Bitter Mountain.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the funeral officially began, nailing the coffin, the coffin was raised, and the funeral was sent, Wang Yige walked slowly in the funeral procession, mourning and crying were intertwined, and the paper money fell on both sides of the road with the wind, Wang Yige looked at the coffin five steps away in front of the team, and felt that it was very far away, only five steps, but it was a lifetime, this is life.

Wang Yige didn't cry along the way, he didn't know why, he couldn't cry, probably because there were too many people and the mourning was too noisy, he just lowered his head, looked at the ground, and walked forward step by step.

Walking to the road halfway up the mountain, a gust of wind blew, blowing the paper money thrown out violently, blowing to the sky, fluttering in the sky for a while, and then slowly falling, Wang Yige watched the paper money fall slowly, shook and shook, and fell all the way, and finally fell to the invisible place under the mountain.

When he arrived at the cemetery, the coffin fell into the pit, and a handful of soil was lifted and landed on the coffin by the shovel, Wang Yige stood there and watched calmly, watching the loess gradually cover the coffin, he felt that he also had a lot of things buried with his grandfather's coffin.

On the way home, it was much cleaner, everyone's mood was not as depressed as when they came, some people also took off their filial piety clothes, everyone began to talk about family life, talked about things other than funerals, and some relatives and friends even came to ask Wang Yige about his studies.

"Yige, I heard that you have been studying quite well, by the way, you are also taking this year's college entrance examination, right?

Wang Yige smiled and nodded: "It's okay." ”

"If you have time to let Xiaoyun study with you during the holidays, you can go and tutor Xiaoyun with homework, you can see that you can?"

Then no matter what others asked or said, Wang Yige said a few words with a smile and perfunctorily, "It's okay", "It's good", "It's okay", "Thank you".

Halfway through, many of the people who came to the funeral went down the hill to the restaurant of Chung Kook Hope School, where a white feast was to be held.

Wang Yige followed his parents back home, there were no more guests in the house at this time, and he seemed much cleaner, but looking at those familiar things that could not be more familiar, suddenly a sad and sad mood welled up in his heart, and then tears poured out uncontrollably.

For Wang Yige, the saddest thing is not the funeral, but after the funeral, watching his grandfather's bicycle crooked against the wall, watching the bench that his grandfather loves to sit on lying across the patio, watching the pu fan that his grandfather often used to cool off under the basin, etc., etc., all of which let him know that the owner of these things will never come back. 520

At noon, Lin Ping returned to Kushan, and as soon as the graduation ceremony of Xibei No. 4 Middle School was over, he rushed back, and when he saw Wang Yige's father in the restaurant of Zhongguo Hope School, he took out the money.

Wang Yige's father hurriedly said, "Principal Lin, what are you doing here? You don't have to give this money. ”

Lin Ping stuffed the money into Wang Yige's father's hand: "There is mine here, and there is another 1,000 yuan from Director Wang of the County Education Bureau, and Director Wang specially instructed me to deliver the money to my hand." ”

Wang Yige's parents are facing each other, and they are not pushing or pushing.

"Wang Yige, let me meet him. Lin Ping said.

"Yige was on the mountain with his mother, and he didn't want to come down for a feast. Wang Yige's father smiled awkwardly.

"Okay, then I'll go to the mountains. Lin Ping said.

"Hey, Principal Lin, let's go up after eating and drinking here, otherwise the banquet will be dispersed later." Wang Yige's father said.

"It's okay, I'd better go up and have a look first. After Lin Ping finished speaking, he rode an electric tricycle next to him to the mountain.

When Lin Ping arrived at the door of Wang Yige's grandfather's house, he shouted, "Yige." ”

Wang Yige heard Lin Ping's voice and walked out quickly: "Teacher Lin." ”

Lin Ping looked at Wang Yige and patted him on the shoulder: "Yige, the festival is smooth." ”

Wang Yige nodded: "Yes." ”

Then Lin Ping took out a few things from his bag: "One grid, graduation medal, graduation souvenir and graduation gift I gave you." ”

Wang Yige realized that he had graduated from Xibei No. 4 Middle School today, and he had forgotten about graduation.

"Thank you, teacher. ”

Lin Ping smiled: "It's okay, don't be idle these days, it's easy to be sad when you're idle, go to Zhongguo Hope School in two days to teach, be a teacher, and give tutoring to the children in the mountains, and it can be regarded as tutoring homework for your younger brothers and sisters, especially mathematics!"

Wang Yige nodded: "No problem, Teacher Lin." ”

Wang Yige was uncomfortable for a long time, but he still had to do something, and the next day he went to Zhongguo Hope School to be a "little teacher", after all, it was indeed the same as Lin Ping said, and it would be better to have something to do. During this time, what Wang Yige was most afraid of was taking a mountain road, the road from the dilapidated mountain village school to his grandfather's house, and he walked countless times in his memory, and his grandfather accompanied him countless times, sent him to school, and picked him up from school. Passing by the dilapidated mountain village school, looking at the abandoned and collapsed classrooms, Wang Yige will think about it a lot, and his mood will be extremely sad.

Countless graduates and parents are waiting for the results of the college entrance examination, the closer to that day, the more tormented it is, and even some parents and students will be so nervous that they can't sleep.

And Wang Yige's side is extraordinarily indifferent, in addition to going to Zhongguo Hope School every day to attend classes, teaching younger brothers and sisters, is to play in the bitter mountains with Wei Wei and his grandfather and other friends, it looks so comfortable, at night, Wang Yige will read, and when he sees that he is sleepy, he climbs into bed and falls asleep.
