2. The enlightenment of the Qingming Festival

In the evening, Lu Yao learned the answer from his father: more than two miles east of his home, there is a comprehensive school with kindergarten, primary school, junior high school, and high school. Those brothers and sisters are following the teacher in the classroom. Study hard and practice your knowledge!

Lu Yao thought to himself: Why doesn't the little brother understand at all? Dad knows so much, Dad is hundreds of times stronger than the little brother. In fact, she didn't expect it at all: her little brother is only two years older than her, and she knows less than her little brother!

The next morning, after breakfast, Lu Yao and his little brother followed their father to school. Dad took them to the dormitory, took out some comic books and threw them on the desk, and told Lu Zhihao: Today is the Qingming Festival, and the teachers and students from other schools are going to come to our school to sweep the grave. Dad is going to organize the teachers and students to greet them, and the teachers and students from other schools. You have to take your sister well in the dormitory! After speaking, Dad reached out and pressed Lu Zhihao's shoulder, glanced at the two young children meaningfully, and then turned around and walked out of the dormitory.

As soon as Lu Jianhua's figure disappeared at the door, the little brother followed him out. Lu Yao sat on a small chair and watched the comic strip with relish. After a while, Lu Zhihao ran to her with "pop, pop", and said excitedly: Sister, hurry up and follow me. There were many teachers outside, and many, many brothers and sisters, all holding a bouquet of white flowers in their hands. It's hilarious!

As soon as Lu Yao heard how many people had come, he suddenly became energetic. Immediately, he dropped the comic strip and spread his arms wide: Brother, take me and look at it. The little brother was taken aback: What, you let me hold you? I am only two years older than you, where can I hold you? Sister, as long as you come down and run, my brother will make a grimace to show you and learn how to bark a dog for you. Is it good?

Lu Yao was happy when he heard it: Then, okay. I'll go on my own. Lu Yao and his little brother ran from their father's dormitory to the door of the teacher's office, only to see that there was no teacher in the office, and it seemed a deserted and quiet scene. She asked Lu Zhihao with great curiosity: Little brother, how can you not see a teacher in this teacher's office?

Lu Zhihao took Lu Yao's hand and ran to the middle school in the south, and said: Sister, the teachers must have gone to the high school classroom in front. Let's go! Dragged by the little brother all the way, the little girl soon ran out of breath. However, the little brother's sentence: Sister, there are many, many adults, brothers and sisters from the south. It's been stimulating her nerves, although her little wrists are painfully held by her little brother, and her little feet are sour. She didn't even cry out in pain!

Suddenly, Lu Zhihao exclaimed: Sister, look ahead. Lu Yao hurriedly raised his head, and saw that groups of students came in from outside the school gate, led by many teachers, lined up in a neat line and walked in neat steps from the school gate, and turned straight along the road in front of the high school classroom, and walked east to stand around the human statue. What made Lu Yao even more strange was: why did they all hold a small white flower in their hands?

In this way, it was Lu Yao who took the little brother's hand, and ran to the front from the bending gap all the way. There was a worried voice behind him: Oh, what are these two children cramming around? If they fall down, they will break their skin and bleed! It doesn't look like a student, what are their parents doing?

Lu Zhihao still thought of turning his head and said: Uncle, aunt, I'm sorry. We met you---- and Lu Yao had only one thought in her heart at the moment: What was going on in front of you? Why did so many students and teachers come? So, she didn't hear who people were talking about?

In this way, the two children hurriedly ran to the front. Lu Jianhua also saw it: two small heads. He was so surprised that he pulled them under the eaves of the third year of high school, and glared at the little brother sternly with a pair of eyes: Zhihao, didn't you let you watch your sister in the dormitory? Why did you bring your sister out?

Lu Zhihao blushed and snorted: I saw so many students walking into the campus under the leadership of the teacher. I just want to see what they are doing? Lu Yao also hurriedly said: Well, Dad, I think so too. Just let us see!

At this time, Lu Jianhua's friend Hou Weidong came over, stroked the heads of the two children with both hands, and looked at Lu Jianhua: Principal Lu, children, they will be curious. Lu Jianhua shook his hand: It's not that I can't understand their curiosity! I'm worried about what will happen if they run away blindly and get lost?

Lu Zhihao hurriedly pulled Lu Yao and explained to his father vigorously: I only take my sister to play on campus every day, and I have never gone outside to play once! As he spoke, he grabbed Lu Yao's arm and said: Sister, tell Dad quickly, have we ever been outside? Lu Yao hurriedly helped my little brother speak: Dad, my little brother and I have never been outside the school to play.

Lu Zhihao looked at Lu Jianhua, patted his chest vigorously and said: Dad, I will never run away with my sister today. Lu Jianhua smiled: Okay, you two are standing here, and there is no sun here at all. Daddy has to preside over the memorial service!

Hou Weidong gave a thumbs up to the two children: You two must be talking! Lu Zhihao nodded busily, and said in unison: Uncle, we will definitely do it! And at this moment, Lu Yao's eyes were staring at the human statue motionlessly.

After a while, from the extraordinarily large loudspeaker in the plane tree of the school, there was a poignant and sad mourning. Here, it is necessary for me to affirm: the sorrow and happiness mentioned here are definitely what the two children think in their hearts!

In fact, of course, the author knows: at the beginning of the tomb sweeping on the Qingming Festival every year, the school broadcasts the "March of the Volunteers" that was played at the founding ceremony. At the end of the memorial was: "March of the Chinese People's Liberation Army". Accompanied by the tragic and poignant music, the teachers and students first raised their hands to salute the statue of the martyr, and then bowed their heads in silence.

In the meantime, President Lu Jianhua took the stage to deliver a speech: Principals, teachers, and students, first of all, we warmly welcome you to the statue of the martyr Wang Xinlin, and pay tribute to and cherish the memory of the martyr with deep affection! On behalf of all the teachers and students of Xinlin School, I would like to pay tribute to you! Since the completion of this school, we will carry forward the valuable spirit of martyr Wang Xinlin's heroic service to the country forever and forever! The glorious deeds of martyr Wang Xinlin will also accompany our students to grow up forever! The more Principal ---- Lu spoke, the more emotional he became, and the scene was already full of sobbing. Eventually, Principal Lu choked up and couldn't speak anymore, and he turned around and sobbed silently.

Subsequently, all the principals, teacher representatives, and student representatives who came to pay tribute to the martyrs all took the stage to deliver speeches to cherish the memory of the martyrs. Everyone's tone was as sad and sad as Principal Lu Jianhua's! The atmosphere of the whole silent mourning scene was so quiet that even a needle falling on the ground could definitely be heard! The scene was still full of sobbing, and it didn't stop for a long time!

At that time, Lu Zhihao and Lu Yao didn't know: the teachers and students lowered their heads for a long, long time, and they were performing a silent ceremony to the statue of the martyr. They just realized: this human figure sculpture is here, and so many teachers and students are standing at his feet affectionately. There must be a reason! The "martyrs" in the mouths of Dad and these teachers and students must be very good people! So, the two children walked into the silent mourning procession and bowed their heads to the statue like these teachers and students.

A long time passed, and the loudspeaker on the plane tree in the school changed to the music of "March of the People's Liberation Army". Accompanied by this exciting and progressive music, the teachers and students raised their heads together and walked to the statue of the martyr in turn, one by one saluted and bowed to the martyr, and then slowly put down the white chrysanthemum with both hands. The expression is very, very solemn and serious!

Then, still in a neat line, they walked out of the gate of Xinlin School slowly and orderly with neat steps. The teachers and students of Xinlin School still stood quietly on the side as in the morning, silently watching all the teachers and students from other schools, until they could no longer see their figures, and then walked into their classrooms with neat and slow steps. The difference is that in the morning, I stood by the gate of the South School and warmly greeted the teachers and students from other schools, indicating the polite hospitality of the teachers and students of the school!

Since then, the little protagonist of our article, Lu Yao. Every day, I open my eyelids in a daze, and the first thing I say to my father and mother is no more: dressing, combing my hair, washing up, and eating. Instead, he kept yelling: Dad, Mom, I'm going to school. I'm going to school!

I barely finished breakfast and followed my father and older siblings into the gate of Xinlin School. First, she ran to the statue of the martyr, raised her little hands upward, saluted, bowed, and mourned in silence. When they are done in turn, they pick some small white wildflowers on the ground next to them, put them at the feet of the human statue, and then salute and bow. Lu Yao's serious and persistent demeanor infected the little brother Lu Zhihao and did everything with her!

The teachers and students of Xinlin School watched the two children silently doing what they should have done during the Qingming Festival. But no one stopped them, just stood silently and watched them do a series of actions in fascination!

Sometimes when I have free time, the father of two children, Principal Lu, and some teachers. will also stand silently on the side with the two children, and stay in front of the human statue for a while!

Because, adults know that although the two children are full of childishness, the children's doing this shows that the children already know how to learn to be good children little by little!
