Soon after the winter vacation, in He Rulan's substitute class, a student's parent died suddenly, the fifth-grade boy named Gao Mingyuan did not come after asking for leave for three days in a row, He Rulan knew that this child usually has excellent character and learning, and never arrives late and leaves early, what is wrong?

After understanding, He Rulan learned from Gao Mingyuan's homeroom teacher, Teacher Yang, that Gao Mingyuan's father died suddenly, He Rulan was taken aback, "This child is only in the fifth grade, his father should still be very young, right? How could it be ......?"

"I don't know the specifics, I just heard today that he died suddenly while working overtime in the unit, Director He, should we go to the student's home to visit and condole?" Teacher Yang was also embarrassed.

"That's for sure! I'll report the situation to the headmaster, and we'll go together then!"

In the afternoon of the same day, He Rulan, two leaders of the school and Teacher Yang went to Gao Mingyuan's house to visit the mother and son, and Gao Mingyuan's family lived in an old building in the railway community, on the top floor.

The group climbed up to the fifth floor panting, Gao Mingyuan opened the door, and saw that the teachers were a little surprised, "Teacher...... Please come in!"

It's just March, spring hasn't officially begun, the old-fashioned building has no heating, the whole room is as cold as an ice cellar, and in the foyer where you enter the door, there is a black-framed photo on the square table against the wall, which should be Gao Mingyuan's father.

He Rulan bowed three times to the portrait with everyone, the man in the photo looked ordinary, wearing a black-framed glasses, but he was only thirty or forty years old, he was too young!

Gao Mingyuan's face was a little pale, his eyes were still swollen, and he wore a black gauze on his left arm in his sky-blue down jacket, "Mom!

A middle-aged woman walked out of the bedroom, emaciated and haggard, only to see her hand ruffling her unkempt hair, greeting in a hoarse voice, and Vice Principal Peng Yulong stepped forward to hold Gao Mingyuan's mother's hand.

"Gao Mingyuan's mother, mourning! We only learned about your family, on behalf of the school to come to see you, you can tell me if you have any difficulties, Gao Mingyuan has always been excellent in school and is a good child!"

"Thank you, principal! Gao Mingyuan, the leader of his father's unit has also come, and there is a unit for the difficulties in life, thank you! In the future, Gao Mingyuan's child will have to trouble the school teachers more!"

Gao Mingyuan's mother is also a railway employee, and when she suddenly encountered such a serious blow, she cried and almost fainted, but the days have to go on, Gao Mingyuan is still young, and she doesn't have much time to immerse herself in grief, so in the eyes of outsiders, this woman seems a little too calm and unkind.

He Rulan naturally couldn't understand that her sister He Ruxue died suddenly, the whole family was grief-stricken, her father sighed for many days, and she kept crying when she mentioned her eldest daughter, and her mother fell down directly, and she barely got up after half a month in the hospital.

Even He Rulan herself didn't know how to spend those days, but fortunately, Zhuge Huaizhi had been by his side, taking care of the two children, and sometimes he couldn't take care of it, so his mother-in-law Wu Fengqiu came over to help take care of it, and He Rulan slowly eased up.

The past was unbearable, He Rulan sighed with emotion, and went home to talk about it with Zhuge Huaizhi.

"We railway people all know this matter, Gao Mingyuan's father Gao Shengli is an employee of the electric power section, the foreman of the long engine room, and he is only forty years old in two years.

"How can he ...... when he's so young," He Rulan felt a little regretful.

"To be honest, I'm tired to death!"

"Huh, do you have to do this job by physical strength?"

"It's not physical strength, this job seems to be easy, usually wearing a white coat to walk around in the computer room, the wind can't blow, the sun can't shine, but when there is a large-scale project cutover, there is a special effort and effort. ”

"Oh, that's right! That's not ......."

"Gao Shengli worked for three days and three nights in a row this time, the construction period is tight, the task is heavy, the project is complex, the young workers have no experience, and the knowledge of the old workers cannot keep up with the new equipment, so from wiring jumpers to sorting out the ledger, Gao Shengli basically has to monitor the whole process, and even all of them are operated by himself!"

Zhuge Huaizhi sighed, "Maybe he also thinks he is young, although he is very tired, he doesn't take it to heart, he has been gritting his teeth and persevering, until the cutover is successfully completed, Gao Shengli fell headlong on the operating table, and never woke up, I heard that it was sudden cardiac death, alas, it's a pity, only thirty-eight years old!"

"Yes, why are you working so hard? You can do it slowly with few people, it's better than killing people!" He Rulan was a little incomprehensible.

"Lao He, you said that you are also half a railway person, but you still don't understand the nature of railway work?" Zhuge Huaizhi looked at He Rulan in surprise.

"Ah, I know! The railway people are the most dedicated, the train can't be changed casually even a minute earlier or later, everything is semi-military management and standardized operations, and changing a place at will will disrupt the overall situation, how about it? Am I right?" He Rulan was a little proud.

"Even if you are half right, so there is a time limit for the cutover of the main point, within the specified time period, if the task cannot be completed, then the unified opening time set in advance will be invalidated, and the railway operation map will be disrupted, it seems that it is only the work of the electric section, but the actual relationship of the work of the relevant units of the whole road will be affected, it is with this in mind that Gao Shengli will fight his life to complete this task!"

"It's great! I wondered, if you said he knew he was going to lose his life, would he do it?" He Rulan pondered.

"Yes! Because that's his job and it's his mission! If he doesn't do it, someone else will do it! The railroad man is like that, one after the other, and he does his best! Also, he's still a party member!"

"Hmm......" He Rulan's nose was sour, and tears fell, "Lao Zhu, if it were you, would you do this?"

"I—don't I do this all the time?" said Zhuge Huaizhi began to smile again.

"I'm serious! I saw Gao Mingyuan's mother today, my heart trembled, if it were me, I wouldn't be so calm! But I know that she must be very, very sad in her heart, maybe people have different personalities, I think she behaves very calmly, calm not like a woman who has just lost her husband for three days!"

"Lao He!" Zhuge Huaizhi hugged He Rulan tightly in his arms, "It's not a matter of character, if it were you, you would be very calm! When my father died, my mother was very calm!"

"Why?"

"I promise you that there will not be that day! Otherwise, why do you think I exercise my body every day? If we want to do a good job in revolutionary work, our body must keep up! I have to take care of both family and career!"

"Poor mouth!"

Zhuge Huaizhi didn't speak, and reached out to turn off the lamp.
