From five to ten, every year, every day, over and over again, this is Xiang Xinrong's life, he habitually stood at the door of the classroom and glanced at the classroom majestically, and found that Wen Jinhe's position was empty, his thick black eyebrows suddenly wrinkled into two small hair mountains, and habitually raised his wrist to look at his watch, and found that it was only five minutes away from the morning self-study.

Wen Jinhe slept late last night, and she was restless early in the morning, an hour's journey on weekdays, but today she walked for seventy minutes, and as soon as she arrived at the school gate, the preparatory bell for early self-study rang ringing, like a hypnosis, her heart tightened, and she quickly ran towards the direction of the classroom.

Wen Jinhe is an excellent student, not only in the top of the grade, but also diligent, every day earlier than the dog, early self-study often earlier than the boarder to the classroom, today but the future, Xiang Xinrong is very puzzled, has been standing at the door of the classroom, ready to come to a waiting rabbit, verify the body, in order to see the after-effects.

At the moment when the formal bell of the morning self-study stopped abruptly, Wen Jinhe was already standing at the door of the classroom panting, with small beads of sweat on the tip of his nose, and he fell to the ground with Xinrong's hanging heart, he knew in his heart that a good drum did not need a heavy hammer, and smiled with relief, "Get up early in the future." Then, with one turn, he walked in the direction of the office.

In the morning class, Wen Jinhe went through several rounds of life-and-death tug-of-war with sleepy insects, sword rattling, sword light, and finally did not lie on the table to dream of Zhou Gong, and reluctantly persevered. At noon, she wanted to lie on the table to rest, make up for sleep, and play the autumn breeze, but her brother's innocent and bright smile always appeared in her mind, the babbling child's voice, and recalled the scene when her brother parroted her sister behind her buttocks.

Flowing students, iron schedules. There were three classes in the afternoon, the fifth and sixth periods were the old principal's math lessons, Wen Jinhe barely finished listening to the fifth period with spirit, but, in the sixth period, the sleepy worm, an uninvited guest, was really dedicated and commendable, and he actually came to her again, she wanted to lie on the table for a while, but the old principal's kind and majestic eyes stared at it in time, so frightened that she immediately sat up straight, rubbed her eyes, and stared at the blackboard seriously.

Time is such a bastard who likes to compete with others, the more people want it to pass quickly, the slower she is like a snail, in the bitter struggle, the damn class bell finally rang, Wen Jinhe wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but Leng didn't expect a sonorous voice to come: Wen Jinhe, come to my office. Wen Jinhe couldn't help but shudder.

Based on her past experience, Wen Jinhe felt that she was "inescapable", and it must have been her heroic performance in class that made the old principal feel something, and she followed the old principal into the principal's office in a panic.

The old principal put the textbooks and textbooks behind the desk, took a towel and wiped his hands, and stood very tall in front of Wen Jinhe, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, and his voice was concise and crisp, I have something on my mind, I look listless in class.

"I-I-I've been listening to your class carefully," Wen Jinhe rubbed his two white hands together and whispered, "Don't dare to desert." ”

"That's good, your math score is the best in the class, and you are also ranked in the previous grade," the old principal first gave a sweet date, and then sounded the alarm bell, and said earnestly, "The college entrance examination is going to be next semester, but you can't be careless in Jingzhou." ”

"I—I know, Headmaster, I won't let you down, I'll do my best," Moon Jinhe just wanted to get out of the old headmaster's office as soon as possible, for fear that he would ask about something else, "If it's okay, I'll go." ”

"That's fine, if you encounter any difficulties, come to me directly, don't be afraid. The old principal glanced at the black bags under Wen Jinhe's eyes, and felt very worried, and said matter-of-factly.

"Thank you, Principal, I'm leaving. Wen Jinhe's nose suddenly had a sour feeling, she was afraid that she would not be able to bear the sudden attack of tears, so she bowed to the old principal, and the two ponytails flicked for a while, and quickly escaped from the principal's room.

Xia Yulan blew a gust of wind by the river, and after chattering for a long time, she stood up stiffly with an expressionless face and hazy teary eyes, she looked at the river surface of the Haohao soup in a distracted manner, and turned around and went home bored.

Wenhua Long drank all night, was already drunk, and was snoring in bed. Xia Yulan glanced at her husband who was sleeping like a dead pig contemptuously, and wanted to say something but held back. Then, she put all the clothes worn by her son Wen Jinhong into an army-green bag, took a look at this humble home stupidly, and walked out all the way.

Habits make the future. As usual, Moon Jinhe did not go home immediately after school, but left the school after completing the homework assigned by the teacher that day in the classroom.

Wen Jinhe's family is so poor that she can't afford to buy a bicycle and can only walk home on two legs, but this has also developed a good study habit for her, she will copy some words or formulas on small cards in school every day, and memorize the things on the small cards while walking.

As soon as Wen Jinhe arrived at the door of the house, she found that the door of the house was open, she panicked, stood at the door and shouted loudly, Mom, I'm back. However, when no one answered in the house, she felt a chill in her heart, as if she had a premonition that something bad was coming.

When she walked in, only her father, Wen Wenlong, was alone with a bottle of wine and stuffing wine, his eyes were red, his eyebrows were wrinkled into two hills, and his face was stiff, as if someone else owed him an endless amount of money. Wenhua Long glanced at his daughter, grinned and said, what kind of mom are you shouting, is she your own mother, will your own mother leave you alone?

Wen Jinhe glared at his father like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and said hatefully, then you have to go to her, you know that you get drunk every day.

The cultural dragon was not sober, he said drunkenly: "Find, China is so big, it's easy to think, hehe, where to find it?"

Wen Jinyi also went home, she was standing at the door with her schoolbag on her back, and when she heard the conversation inside, she said with tears in her eyes, where did my mother go?

Wen Jinhe took his sister's hand and said like a little adult, what's the use of crying? He won't look for it, let's go find it.

The two of them were teary-eyed, staring at each other, crying all the way out of the house, the neighbor Aunt Wang saw this, her heart was sour, she called out to them, your mother is really stimulated this time, I'm afraid that I am looking for your brother, you two sisters can live their lives with peace of mind.

Wen Jinyi is not more troublesome, how can she stand this kind of blow, she cried and said, why is my mother so ruthless? Leave us alone, what should we do?

The truth is often brutal, and it is painful to tell the truth. Aunt Wang pointed her finger at her skull, and said reluctantly: "Your mother may be that this place is broken, and you are afraid that it will not be so easy to find her?"

Wen Jinhe wiped a handful of tears and said to Aunt Wang with a sad face, thank you, Aunt Wang, but we still want to go to the dock to see, maybe she hasn't left yet.

The two walked for about thirty minutes, and came to the dock by the river, and just saw a steamer that had just set sail and was heading in the direction of Star City, and the propeller set off layers of huge waves on the river, Wen Jinhe felt a burst of regret in his heart, if he had quickened his pace, he might be able to catch up with this boat, maybe Xia Yulan was on this boat, and he had to leave her behind.

Wen Jinyi was unwilling, took her sister's hand, choked up and said, let's go ask the conductor, she may have seen our mother.

At the window of the ticket office, a conductor with a face as red as a Fuji apple was about to close the window of the ticket gate, Wen Jinhe immediately stopped the door, and said eagerly, comrade, I want to inquire about something, delay you for a minute, have you seen a woman wearing a plaid top with a mole on her forehead today?

The Red Fuji conductor was in a hurry to get off work, Leng was stopped by her like this, wordy, and delayed the end of work in vain, and his heart was very angry, but when he saw the anxious eyes of this sister, his heart softened, and after pondering for a while, he pouted his red lips, and said with certainty that he had never seen such a person.

"Are you really sure?" Wen Jinyi's heart lit up with a hint of luck, hoping that her mother had not left the village yet.

"There aren't many passengers today, I'm sure of that. The Red Fuji conductor said with a red lip again.

The two sisters thanked the Red Fuji conductor and left the dock in a huff and walked in the direction of their home.

Wen Jinhe was sullen along the way, she felt that her mother must have left the village, and what the Red Fuji conductor said must be true, the reason why her mother did not go to the dock to take a boat, nine times out of ten she walked along the river embankment, she may really go to find her brother.
