Chapter 40: Chapter 40: Attitude towards Life and Death (2)
After arriving at the school, Xiao Zhen found that the classmates in the class were not much different from usual. Morning reading and homework were carried out normally, and Teacher Peng was also in class, although it could be seen that Teacher Peng did not sleep well.
However, when it came to recess, Xiao Zhen found that everyone seemed to be much quieter. There is very little chatter between classes, and it seems that everyone is interested in suppressing some emotions. In music lessons, everyone's tunes are strange, and they seem to lack a kind of liveliness that they have in nature. And this also made the music teacher frown, after all, it is rare for the whole class to be in harmony with each other. Xiao Zhen also understood, it seems that in the face of this kind of thing, everyone is not prepared, although it has nothing to do with themselves, but after all, it is a teacher who has been in class, and such a person is gone, this feeling, for children of this age, the taste is indeed strange.
The atmosphere in the class was as dreary as a dark cloud, and everyone became cautious. But the more this happens, the longer the day becomes.
In the afternoon PE class, although everyone was basking in the sun on the playground, it seemed that the atmosphere had not changed. But on this day, the physical education teacher happened to talk about a new game: a group of five people, guessing boxing, and the last loser is in the middle, and there are four people around the side to pass the ball, and the person in the middle has to try to grab the ball. If the person in the middle grabs the ball, the person who touches the ball before the person in the center takes the place of the person in the middle and the person in the middle becomes the person who passes the ball.
Since there is not much difference between boys and girls at this time, some girls have already developed in height. So this game in this period in the end girls have an advantage. So the group of Xiao Zhen and Xiao Shi has always been suppressed by Xiao Zhen and the other three boys, and in the process, they seem to have gotten rid of the relatively dull state that lasted for more than half a day, and the smiling faces gradually brightened in the sun.
However, with the end of physical education class, everyone returned to the classroom, and it seemed that they were back in a dull state. In the end, Mr. Peng said when he was studying in Fang, "Are you all ready for the black yarn?"
Seeing that everyone had already lifted the black yarn, Teacher Peng said again: "Please tie the black yarn on your left shoulder tomorrow morning, and we will go to the school gate in the second class to line up on the left side of the school gate to see Xiaohao's mother for the last ride." ”
After instructing some more things, Teacher Peng got out of school on time. And Xiao Zhen was there for a while, and it seemed that this feeling was getting stranger and stranger now. However, Xiao Zhen tried hard to suppress this feeling, and still came to Xiaojie's house to study four-wheel drive together.
"Do you think Xiao Hao will still participate in the mini 4WD competition?" Xiao Zhen asked Xiao Jie.
'Yes, he's worked hard and he's definitely ready to play. Xiaojie said.
"I didn't mean that, I was wondering, can he adjust it. Xiao Zhen said.
"Don't think about it, you take care of yourself, your lube is on the tire again. Xiaojie said angrily.
So after the two assembled and debugged the four-wheel drive car, Xiao Zhen went home, after all, Xiao Zhen found that Xiao Jie didn't understand his thoughts.
After returning home, Xiao Zhen ran to Lao Wu again, and was just about to ask a question, when he heard Lao Wu say: "Don't think too much, go to bed early and get up early, you should actually ask your grandfather about this matter, back then, he buried the bones of his comrades-in-arms with his own hands." ”
So, Xiao Zhen made a phone call to his grandmother's house, because his grandfather's ears already had some problems, so Xiao Zhen's side must be loud, and grandma turned on the hands-free over there. "Grandpa, what kind of feeling is it to have someone around you leave, I heard my father say that you buried the bones of your comrades with your own hands. ”
"Eh, Wu Zhen, you should be louder. Grandpa said.
So Xiao Zhen said loudly into the microphone.
"Well, this matter, Qingshan is fortunate to bury the bones of his loyalty, and I completed the task that my comrades-in-arms did not complete for him. But it was a bit of a pity, if only it had been two seconds earlier,...... grandfather recalled.
"In short, it's a wonderful thing to face someone leaving. You must be in awe. Grandpa said again.
However, in a conversation with his grandfather, Xiao Zhen didn't seem to gain much, so that night, Xiao Zhen tossed and turned even more. What is death and how to face it, these words keep recurring in the mind of Xiao Zhen. However, children are still easy to fall asleep, and as the words beat faster and faster, Xiao Zhen also entered a wonderful dreamland. When I woke up the next morning, Xiao Zhen's condition seemed to be much better than yesterday, and there was not much eye droppings on his eyelids.
When I entered the classroom, I saw the black yarn on everyone's left shoulder, and it seemed that the environment in the classroom was extremely dull. In the first math class, apart from the math teacher's lecture, the only sounds were the rhythm of high heels and the friction of chalk against the blackboard. Xiao Zhen's mind suddenly felt relieved, this is probably the fear of facing the unknown, after all, death is mysterious, and a group of half-grown children naturally have no difficulty understanding how to face it.
After the first class, Mr. Peng came to the classroom and talked about the precautions again, and then the whole class wore school uniforms and lined up in a neater line than ever before to the school gate, slowly walked out of the school, walked to the scheduled farewell location, and lined up.
When it was close to the scheduled time, a motorcade drove up, with a minivan with white flowers tied to the front in front and many cars followed by firecrackers in the back. Many teachers were standing behind the children, also saying goodbye.
It seems that at this moment, the children relaxed, and as the sound of firecrackers gradually faded away, Teacher Peng arranged for everyone to gather and walk back. And the dull situation in the class has improved.
After three days, the atmosphere in the class was back to its usual vigor. And Xiao Zhen and Xiao Jie naturally returned to normal, and returned to an active state of preparation, working hard to develop the power of the shock motor and the atomic fission motor. However, when he returned home, Xiao Zhen would still have the scene of farewell.
However, as the time for the mini 4x4 qualifiers got closer and closer, Xiao Zhen didn't think about these things anymore. Most of the time outside of homework is spent in the process of debugging the mini 4WD. Lao Wu sometimes sees such a situation, and will also point out how to tighten the screws and how to set the best transmission position of the gear.
On the third day before the game, Xiao Zhen and Xiao Jie still called Xiao Hao together at Xiao Jie's house and told Xiao Hao that the qualifiers would be held in two days, and they had not adjusted. Of course, the two also tried to ward off the cold a few times. In the end, the two got Xiao Hao's reply:
Thank you for your concern. ”
