In front of the gate of a middle school in a poor county in Annan Prefecture, a middle-aged man in his early forties stood next to the school gate, raising his hand from time to time to look at the time, as if waiting for something.

"Principal Shi, I'm waiting for someone. ”

"Hello Headmaster. ”

"Hello Headmaster. ”

Soon after, it was time for the end of school, and the quiet gate suddenly became noisy.

Students or teachers who walk out of the school gate will greet them in a friendly manner when they see middle-aged people standing next to them, which seems to be particularly popular with students and teachers. The middle-aged man responded with a smile and told the students from time to time to pay attention to safety when they go home and not to make trouble on the side of the road.

This middle-aged man's name is Shi Zhixing, whose name is taken from the fact that "taking copper as a mirror, you can dress properly, taking people as a mirror, you can know the gains and losses, and taking history as a mirror, you can know the rise and fall", is the vice principal of the middle school behind him, who is in charge of school affairs, and is also the most handsome, youngest, and most popular principal among students and teachers.

As time passed, there were fewer students at the school gates.

And the sky is slowly getting dark.

"Why hasn't the uncle come yet, is there something delayed? But, shouldn't this be......" Shi Zhixing raised his hand and glanced at his watch, it was already past six o'clock, and he hadn't seen the uncle arrive yet, so he couldn't help but feel a little anxious and worried.

Look at that intersection from time to time, expecting that figure to appear.

As early as 20 years ago, my uncle made an appointment with him to meet at the school gate on the afternoon of the last day of every month. Although in the past 20 years, sometimes earlier and sometimes later, it is generally at four or five o'clock.

If you can't go out due to weather or other reasons, you may be able to postpone it for a day.

But today's weather is very good, and it's almost seven o'clock, and even the old uncle still hasn't come, which makes Shi Zhixing quite worried, pursed his lips and said, "Wait, I hope nothing happens." ”

After another half an hour, Shi Zhixing couldn't help but get up in a hurry, walking around the school gate, unfortunately even the old man didn't have a mobile phone, otherwise he would have called to ask.

In fact, speaking of this uncle, Shi Zhixing was quite emotional.

Because of this old man, he has relied on his income for three consecutive rounds for 20 years to help poor children realize their dreams of going to school. In the past 20 years, he has donated more than 500,000 yuan, fulfilling the dream of more than 300 poor children to go to school.

Of the more than 500,000 donations, every penny was stepped out by the old man with his own legs, one foot high and one foot low. It is accumulated by him every day, morning and evening, with every drop of sweat that has been dripped down, which is hard-won and hard-won......

This made Shi Zhixing extremely moved, and no third person knew about it except him.

And it is precisely because of the influence of the old man that he has devoted his life to education, making him the most popular teacher in the school. also became the vice principal of the middle school behind him from a small teacher at the beginning, and there were rumors at this time that Vice Principal Shi would officially become the principal in the next semester......

At this time, a dilapidated tricycle appeared, pedaling an old man in his seventies and eighties. The old man had white hair, a slightly dirty suit clinging to his body, and he was already sweating profusely......

Shi Zhixing looked at that figure, and finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but he didn't know why, he couldn't help but feel sour in his heart. In fact, an old man like the old man not only does not need to do anything for others, but should completely accept the care and care of others.

But the old man didn't, he still pedaled his tricycle around every day to collect garbage, and donated all the money from the sale to the students.

"Oh, Principal Shi, let you wait. ”

The tricycle stopped in front of Shi Zhixing, and the old man hurriedly got out of the car and said, looking embarrassed. Then, he took out a small cloth bag from the cloth hanging on the front of the car and handed it to Shi Zhixing.

"Uncle, why are you so bothered?" Shi Zhixing did not accept the cloth bag.

"I'm here for the doll, not for you. Uncle Lian said with a smile, his face was full of wrinkles, and there was still some garbage smell on his body, "I am willing, I like these easy-to-study dolls the most, and I will definitely be able to be admitted to university in the future." Principal Shi, you take it quickly, this is for the doll's food, not for you. A large number of people like me, who are illiterate, have no ability to contribute to the country, but the students I donate to are different. They are literate and understand science, and maybe a few talents will be produced in the future, and how much they will contribute to the country. ”

Shi Zhixing sighed, and took the small cloth bag, he didn't know how many times he had persuaded him, but the old man was still interested.

The small cloth bag is not thick, but this is the income of the old man for a month.

"Shi, Principal Shi, this month is a little less, only two thousand five hundred and seventy-three yuan, but it's all my heart. The old man said a little embarrassed, he had just pedaled over on a tricycle, and now he was still a little panting, and he reached out to wipe the beads of sweat on his forehead. "But Principal Shi don't worry, my body is still stiff, and I can still earn back ten or eight yuan a day. ”

Shi Zhixing squeezed the small cloth bag tightly, feeling very uncomfortable in his heart, feeling heavy, and then said: "Uncle, you haven't eaten yet, let's go eat." ”

"No need, Principal Shi, go quickly, you can't go hungry, you still have to take care of a school." The old man smiled and waved his hand and walked into the car, and said happily, "Principal Shi, I'll go back first, and I will definitely earn more next month." ”

"Uncle, they all miss you, they all want to know your name, they all want to see you. Shi Zhixing was silent and said, he has been keeping this secret for twenty years.

The students who received donations from the old man always pestered him from time to time, but the old man resolutely disagreed and refused to let him tell the students.

"Principal Shi, don't tell them that we already said it twenty years ago. The old man said immediately, and then pedaled off on the tricycle, with a smile on his face.

Shi Zhixing watched the old man leave and sighed softly.

Every month, the old man would send him the income he had earned for that month, and he would leave immediately. Moreover, it is categorically disagreed to say his name......

In fact, in the past few months, he felt that the old man was getting older and faster, so he persuaded the old man to rest at home, but the old man resolutely disagreed, and still sent donations every month.

In the blink of an eye, another month passed.

On the last day of June, Shi Zhixing waited next to the school gate again, but he waited until nine o'clock in the evening, and still did not wait for the old man to arrive.

"Uncle, come quickly, don't have an accident. ”

As time passed, Shi Zhixing was anxious, and there was a faint bad premonition in his heart.

But now nine o'clock has passed, and ten o'clock has arrived.

Not long after, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening, Shi Zhixing still did not wait for the arrival of the old man, and the premonition in his heart became worse and worse.
