"Teacher, I'm going to take a leave of absence. ”

After reading early in the morning, Guo went back to the office, and before he could sit down, a student from a class pushed the door in.

It was a female classmate, named Wang Xiaoya, because Guo Qu didn't close the door, the female classmate knocked on the door, and then said the above words.

"Wang Xiaoya, what's wrong?" Guo went to say in his heart, and said in his heart: What kind of moth is this student going to make?

"Teacher, I'...... Woo......"

The female classmate couldn't speak, Guo Qu knew that the matter was a little serious, "Don't cry, don't cry, isn't there a teacher in the big thing, if there is something to talk to the teacher, let's solve it together." ”

When a person is sad, there is someone to comfort, which is somewhat effective anyway, and under Guo Qu's comfort, the female classmate's crying gradually became smaller.

"Teacher, my dad is dead, woo...... This morning I received a notice from the landlord and rushed to the landlord's house to answer the phone, and my mom told me that my dad fell from a tree and died. ”

Guo went to organize a look at the language, but finally said a sentence of "festival mourning".

Then let her wait, then go back to her house on the street, drive the car, and prepare to take her back.

There are many trees in the south, and there are many trees next to the land where crops are planted, so in order to have a good harvest for the crops, the branches are cut down every year before planting sweet potatoes and potatoes, and these branches can also be used as firewood. And this is autumn, and pruning branches is more used as firewood.

With this tradition, it is naturally dangerous.

When the car drove near Wang Xiaoya's house, both people in the car heard the sound of firecrackers, Wang Xiaoya couldn't help crying again, and Guo Qu could only pat her back for comfort.

After walking for more than ten minutes, I came to Wang Xiaoya's house, at this time there are many people here, there are bold old people in the village, who are uncovering the black cloth on the deceased Due to customs, the deceased is covered with white cloth in many places, and here is a black cloth embroidered with complex patterns, Guo went to take a look by the way, and couldn't help but take a step back.

It was so miserable that the deceased's head was pierced by a branch, and now there was a hole, a branch the size of a child's arm, placed next to the deceased's head, and there was something black and white on it, needless to say, I knew what it was.

"Thank you, Mr. Guo, thank you, Mr. Guo, for sending the girl back. At this time, Wang Xiaoya's mother came to the hall, took Guo Qu's hand, and cried and thanked her.

The car drove for nearly two hours, although there was a reason for the bad road, but it was enough to show how far her home was from the school, if Wang Xiaoya was allowed to walk, I am afraid it would be in the afternoon.

"No thanks, this is what I should do, mourn, the dead are gone, the living mourn. ”

There is no man in the family, Wang Xiaoya's mother is the person in charge, although she is grief-stricken, she still has to pay to buy a coffin, buy sacrifices, rice, oil and salt for the comprador banquet, and in the few days when the deceased is buried in the earth, what is needed, what is missing, the relevant people who help will come to ask the master's family for it, and the master's family has to be satisfied.

As for Wang Xiaoya, after all, she was still a child, she was already crying and speechless at this time, she knelt in front of her father's body, her head resting on her father's body, many people wanted to pull her up, but she didn't want to get up.

Wang Xiaoya also has a younger brother, who looks like he is two or three years old, wearing open crotch pants, holding his mother's legs, looking at Guo Qu and smirking, he is too young to know what is going on.

This made Guo Qu's heart ache, such a young child, just without a father, what does it mean to be without a father?

I'm afraid this kid doesn't even have the right to study.

Guo Qu felt that he should help them more, so he drove to help them again, bringing the sacrifices, rice, oil and salt.

Due to the price, the coffins of the old people in the village were reluctant to sell, so he took Wang Xiaoya's uncle to other places to buy coffins.

Only then did she talk to Wang Xiaoya again, and by the way, she told her mother that the day for going up the mountain was set, and she must inform him.

There were still classes to go to class in the afternoon, so Guo Qu could only leave, and he couldn't even take care of eating.

As for the question of whether Wang Xiaoya can read or not, she can only wait until her father is buried in the ground.

After all, it's not appropriate to say this now, and if you say it now, even if you say it now, I'm afraid others won't listen to it.

And Wang Xiaoya was crying at this time, he didn't listen to anyone, and he was embarrassed to mention this matter.

Hurried home, had lunch, and had to rush to school, this morning was not at school, he was very worried about the group of students in his class doing things.

The first thing I did when I returned to school was to call the teacher this morning, and by asking the teacher this morning, fortunately nothing big happened, so Guo Qu was relieved.

He only had one class this afternoon, the third in the afternoon, so he had nothing to do, so he sat in his office and corrected his homework.

Then changed and changed, and his thoughts drifted to Wang Xiaoya's father.

There are too many such people, and this is just doing farm work at home, and those who work in other places are more dangerous than doing farm work, and their chances of accidents are the highest.

Through the investigation, even the students in this class led by him had more than a dozen fathers working on the construction site, and five of them had parents working on the construction site!

Nowadays, in the outside world, buildings are being built everywhere, high-altitude work has become the norm, and most of the people who repair houses are migrant workers.

This kind of work, which year does not die hundreds of people conservatively estimated?

The vast majority of these people are people with children, and their children are going to elementary school, junior high school, and high school.

It's a last resort.

No person's life is smooth sailing, and poverty is the source of evil, and there is some truth in this saying.

"It's hard! It's hard to get to the sky!"

In such a grim situation, it is ridiculous that most of these students actually regard studying as a mess, and living one day at a time.

So there is a reason for Guo Qu's anger, he feels that the burden on his body is too heavy, but he has to do it.

He loves every grass and tree in his hometown, loves the friendly local dialect of his hometown, and he can't see the people of his hometown being despised and disliked outside.

However, those adults are already like that, and Guo Qu can't help, so he can only hope for this group of students, hoping that they will be self-reliant, study hard now, and no matter what industry they are in the future, as long as they have the ability to contribute to their hometown, this is Guo Qu's vision.
