Qingyao Village is a small village on the border of Yunnan. www.biquge.info It was April, and the mountains of rhododendrons were blooming strangely, and an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl ran on a crooked path, her smile echoed with the rhododendrons on the mountain.

The girl was the only girl in the village who had been admitted to university in the past few years, and she had been informed by her teacher yesterday that she had rushed to the town's middle school this morning. After getting the notice, the girl was extremely excited, she was the eldest sister of the three children in the family, one of his two younger brothers went to primary school, one has not yet gone to school, she has always been the pride of her parents to study well, because her academic performance has always been the best in the class, and she is also the university seedling that the teacher and the school focus on cultivating, today she finally lived up to expectations, got this paper notice, her future will be changed because of this notice.

As soon as she ran into the village, she saw some panicked people crowding, when a man saw her running and immediately stopped her.

"Cuckoo, where have you been? Something happened to your Abba? Cuckoo's cousin Montaigne said to her.

Hearing Montaigne's words, the cuckoo was dumbfounded, she was still full of joy and excitement just now, and suddenly she was overwhelmed by the news she heard.

"Why are you still standing there stupidly, come with me to have a look!" After saying that, Montaigne pulled the cuckoo and ran to the mine in the back mountain・・・・・・

Du Juan's father is a miner in a private coal mine in the back mountain, since the mine was opened here, because of the high salary given by the boss, many men in the village have come here to work, Du Juan's father is one of them, because his father knows that Du Juan, who studies well, will definitely be admitted to university, which is not only the pride of the whole family, but also the pride of the village. He has to make more money, he doesn't want his daughter to suffer outside, he wants to make more money, for his daughter.

This morning, the father got up early as usual, and he boiled a few eggs for his daughter, who he knew was going to the town today to get an admission letter that he had never seen in his life. When the eggs are almost cooked, the cuckoo also rises.

"I'll take the eggs with me on the road to eat in a while, let your mother cook something delicious at night, and drink some with my dad at night." The father said to the cuckoo while scooping out the still hot eggs with his hands.

Cuckoo didn't expect this to be the last thing her father said to her.

Along the way, the father excitedly said that his daughter Du Juan was admitted to a university in a big city, and the workers congratulated him one after another, which made this ordinary man feel extremely proud.

Today, my father wants to go to the manager of the mine to settle the salary for these few months after he gets off work, because the money will be Du Juan's tuition.

The accident was born at about 10 o'clock in the morning, the mine where my father was located exploded without warning, and more than 20 miners, including my father, were buried in it, and with the huge explosion, the whole village was shaken, and everyone in the village rushed to the coal mine, including Du Juan's mother and two younger brothers. On the way, he met Cuckoo's cousin Montaigne, and his mother told Montaigne that he had not returned from the town and asked Montaigne to go to the edge of the village to meet Cuckoo.

The cuckoo followed Montaigne to the mine in the back mountain, where hundreds of blind dates had gathered, crying, noisy, and scolding together, the cuckoo walked through the crowd to find his mother, when the cuckoo saw his mother, his mother had fallen to the ground and wept silently, the second brother held his mother in his arms, and the little brother sat on the side and cried.

The cuckoo stepped forward and hugged his mother and younger brothers, and the family hugged their heads and cried.

After about an hour, police cars and engineering vehicles felt that a cordon had been set up around the collapsed mine, and the excavation work had officially begun.

At this time, another piece of news cut through the already noisy crowd, and everyone was completely angry because of this news! After the coal mine owner knew about the explosion of the mine, he smeared oil on the soles of his feet and ran away!

A large number of villagers poured into the office of the coal mine, and found that the building was empty, with some documents and miscellaneous items scattered on the ground, and the door of a large safe in the corner of the house was open, and the inside was already empty.

By 4 p.m., the villagers, including Du Juan's family, had not left the mine because their family was still in the mine. Until eight o'clock in the evening, there was still no progress, and the police who maintained order began to persuade everyone to go home first, and everyone would be notified as soon as there was news here, so some people left the mine one after another and returned to the village to wait.

Du Juan and the second brother helped their mother and took the little brother back to the village, and when they arrived at home, Du Juan saw the ingredients for the dinner carefully prepared by his mother, and his heart couldn't help but feel sour again, and tears crackled down his face. She knew that if it weren't for her tuition, her father, who was not in good health, would not have gone to the coal mine. She hid the letter of admission in the pocket of her clothes and never took it out.

The mother gradually recovered after resting for a while, she looked at the children around her, the five-year-old son was already asleep on one side, okay he didn't know what was going on, the cuckoo and the second brother sat next to the mother.

The mother grabbed the cuckoo's hand and said, "Cuckoo, where is your notice?" Show Mom. ”

Cuckoo's tears fell again, and she took out the notice and handed it to her mother.

The mother trembled and took the red notice and opened it to look at it, although the mother didn't know a few words, but after she saw the name of her daughter Cuckoo, her heart was also warm.

"Mom, I'm not going to school, I'm not going・・・・・・" cuckoo said to her mother, crying.

"Don't talk nonsense, no, you have to go to school." Mother suddenly said sternly.

After a while, the mother got out of bed and went to cook for Cuckoo and her brother, and Cuckoo quickly held down her mother and told her to cook. Mother didn't stop her, because she really didn't have the strength to cook.

The sensible younger brother and the cuckoo went to cook a simple meal together, although no one was in the mood to eat, but at this time, we must persevere, and insist on the news coming from the mine, no matter whether the news is good news or bad news.

The night was difficult, the sound of crying came from time to time in the village, and in the middle of the night the cuckoo heard a scream from his mother's room, and the cuckoo, who had not slept all the time, immediately ran to his mother's room.

The cuckoo found her mother sitting on the bed, and the cuckoo turned on the light while calling for her mother, and she saw her mother sitting there sweating profusely. The mother had a nightmare, in which the father stumbled in with blood on his head, calling out his mother's name and telling her to save him quickly.

Mother said that this dream was so real, the truth made her feel that it was not a dream at all, mother and cuckoo couldn't sleep, mother wanted to go to the mine to see, cuckoo accompanied his mother and the two came to the mine in the back mountain.

Two large searchlights shone on the collapsed well, and a group of men in unknown uniforms were carefully digging. There are already some villagers here in the surrounding area, and their mood should be the same as that of the cuckoo and his mother. Everyone looked at the collapsed well, hoping for a miracle.

A day passed, and the excavation work did not stop, but there was not the slightest news from the wellhead, and there was no news from the coal boss. Two days passed・・・・・・ three days passed・・・・・・ people gradually despaired, until the fourth day finally came a long-awaited news, but ・・・・・・
