After returning home, tidying up the winter vacation homework a little and doing some simple maintenance for the mini four-wheel drive, Xiao Zhen couldn't wait to come to the new semester.

After all, there are 4x4 races this semester. The whole competition of the school is divided into two rounds: the preliminary round and the semi-final. Only those who pass the indoor preliminary round will continue to compete outdoors in a competition with the whole school watching.

As soon as Xiao Zhen and Xiao Jie met, they saw each other's confident eyes. Xiao Zhen thought to himself, it seems that Xiao Jie is also well prepared.

The class is more serious, Xiao Zhen thinks that if this score is better, it will be more comfortable at home. Of course, the extracurricular time is devoted to the intense mini four-wheel drive car disassembly and assembly practice. Repeatedly assembled, lubricated, and inspected whether the guide wheel was stuck. After all, a stuck guide wheel will often cause the mini 4WD to fly off the track, and the start of the flight out of the track is considered a failure.

Every day after class, Xiao Zhen and Xiao Hao went to Xiao Jie's house to study the mini four-wheel drive. It wasn't until five o'clock that Xiao Zhen packed up his things and ran home. Since Xiao Zhen always goes home around five o'clock, his grandparents are still accustomed to Xiao Zhen who goes home at this time.

But a week later, Xiao Hao suddenly said, "I'll practice at home tomorrow." ”

"Why, everyone is making faster progress together! And Xiaojie still has a runway at home. Xiao Zhen said.

Xiao Hao said with tears in his eyes: "I want to accompany my mother, her time is running out." “

"Say something, don't cry. Xiaojie said.

"My mother, she, the physical examination has been released..."Xiao Hao has cried into a tearful person.

Listening to what Xiao Hao said, both of them looked heavy, and Xiaojie's grandmother came over and comforted: "Okay, okay, although this disease is said to be terminal, but if you accompany your mother, maybe she will be able to overcome this, you vent your feelings first, and if you vent, go back and accompany her more." “

So, Xiao Zhen and Xiao Jie accompanied Xiao Hao until Xiao Hao wiped away his tears and set foot on the way home.

"This thing is really ......," Xiao Zhen said.

"People have good and bad luck, you do your best, I do my best. Xiaojie didn't wait for Xiao Zhen to finish speaking.

"Okay, we can only bless Xiaohao and his mother. Let's keep put. Xiao Zhen said.

So, the two continued to practice in the mini four-wheel drive, and three days later, Xiao Hao also took leave from class.

Teacher Peng said in the class: "Xiao Hao has important things at home, so he has to go home this month to recuperate, and I like Xiao Hao to help him in his studies after he comes back." ”

So, although Xiao Zhen and Xiao Jie carefully debug the four-wheel drive car every day, the topic of Xiao Hao always can't leave the two of them. So Xiaojie picked up the phone at home and called Xiaohao, saying that the two were going to see him. But he was rejected by Xiao Hao, Xiao Hao said: "My family has no time to entertain you now." I received your heart for my mother. ”

After another period of time, Teacher Peng suddenly said before school: "Xiaohao's mother is also a teacher in our school, and she also taught your nature class, but she was found to be seriously ill during the physical examination some time ago, and unfortunately passed away yesterday. The coffin will pass by the school gate the morning after tomorrow. When the time comes, we will wrap a black ribbon around our left shoulder and line up neatly at the school gate. ”

Xiao Zhen found that Mr. Peng's voice was getting more and more trembling, mixed with a hint of choking, and it seemed that the crying voice was also released in the back. Xiao Zhen found out for the first time that Mr. Peng also had a bad emotional control time.

And the classmates in the class also seemed to be emotionally uneasy. Suddenly, the classmates cried one after another. The so-called 'things hurt their kind' is to describe this situation.

However, in the end, Mr. Peng managed to control the situation, and the children began to prepare the black ribbons.

Xiao Zhen returned home in silence and was naturally seen by Lao Wu.

So Lao Wu asked: "What's the matter, why do you look like this?" ”

Xiao Zhen said at a strange speed: "A classmate's mother is gone, and his mother is a teacher at school, so the day after tomorrow, our whole class will go to see off his mother." ”

"Oh, the first time I've faced death. You don't have to be afraid of this, there are many times in life when you have to face death. When my grandfather left, I was also very scared, but after thinking about it for a long time, I realized that this life, old age, sickness, and death are all processes. Of course, you can't understand it all at once today, it's a process. Lao Wu said.

"Oh——。 Xiao Zhen replied after a long delay.

"You don't have to be emotional, it's just a process. Lao Wu said.

"I was uncomfortable with the process. Xiao Hao was originally such a confident person, but suddenly became like this. Xiao Zhen said.

"You have to control your emotions first. Lao Wu said.

"If you want to comfort someone, you first have to make sure that you are emotionally stable. For example, I am emotionally stable now, so I can express my meaning clearly. Lao Wu continued.

"I ...... I can't do it, my mind is messed up. With that, Xiao Zhen ran into the room and closed the door.

"Hey, this hairy boy. Lao Wu said.

Xiao Zhen stuffed himself in the quilt, and he didn't feel anything after stuffing it for a long time. He didn't know how to face this kind of thing, and he couldn't fall asleep when he turned his head, all kinds of nightmares could wake up Xiao Zhen at once, and Xiao Zhen didn't understand what kind of state this was.

Xiao Zhen was tossing and turning there all night, a room alone, Xiao Zhen looked at the shallow moonlight through the window, but his heart was magnificent. Eventually, though, drowsiness broke the anxiety. And Lao Wu put his ear against the door and heard the snoring sound, so he walked to the bedroom with confidence, after all, this is also a small real indirect face of death. Lao Wu understands that he wants to let Xiao Zhen relax. However, in the end, Lao Wu still didn't find a good way, so this night, Lao Wu and Xiao Zhen's mother didn't sleep well, after all, it is still difficult for children to face this situation.

The next day, Xiao Zhen was still the same as usual, except that there were obvious traces of eye feces on his eyelids, and he slowly ate the egg noodles under Lao Wu and drank milk as usual, but the sesame oil seemed to be poured a little less. In short, Lao Wu always felt very right and not quite right.

Finally, Xiao Zhen said: "What attitude should I have towards this matter?" ”

"It's good to be a classmate. Lao Wu said.

"What do you mean?" asked Xiao Zhen.

"It's just that you don't think too much about it, and you have to be ready to face death at any time. There is no one in this world who can accompany you for a lifetime. You're lucky that your mom and I, as well as your grandparents and grandparents, are with you now. But at some point in the future, one or more of us will slowly leave you. Of course, one day, you'll get out of here too. Lao Wu carefully considered the words and said in a tone as little as possible without emotion.
