Aunt Qiu Yun cleared her throat and said to Ge Hailiu that Daddy generally knew what she was going to say, but this was the first time she had made up her mind to dictate it.

Father probably took into account Ge Hailiu's age factor, and suggested that Aunt Qiu Yun should not mention this old thing again, but he did not try his best to dissuade her long-cherished wish that she had to say it, of course, it is still a serious reminder that if you can be simple, you should be simple, and don't say it too emotionally, the past is only for reminiscence, and today, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow are more worthy of cherishing and longing.

The story told by Aunt Qiu Yun is very long, and in the process of telling it, she talks about the sadness, and often pauses to adjust her mood, in order to make the story more readable, she omits some questions from Ge Hailiu in the middle.

"Aunt Qiu Yun's story starts six years ago. At that time, she was in her second year at the "Workers, Peasants and Soldiers" University (three-year program) in Thuan An, and because there was a one-month internship (social practice) period in this academic year, she was excited and took a letter of introduction issued by the school to Changfeng Commune, her hometown where she was deeply emotional, and was allowed to intern at Changfeng Primary School.

The first time she stepped onto the podium, she suddenly found herself transformed from a little girl to a teacher of knowledge, and her mood at that time can only be described as excited and like a dream.

In Changfeng Primary School, she met Daddy for the first time. When she first went to the principal's office to submit a letter of introduction, in the exchange with Principal Tu Xingcai, she heard Principal Tu say that a very good teacher had just come to Changfeng Primary School, surnamed Ge, and asked her to audit Teacher Ge's class when she had time.

In the following time, she learned from the words of other teachers that before Daddy, that is, in the early stage of the most "revolutionary" of the "young generals", because he said that no matter what life is to be reformed, the life of agricultural production, education, and health must not be reformed in a disorderly manner, which is the foundation of national construction and development. That is, they were classified as "rightists", first dismissed as officials of the county magistrates, and then sent to "cadre schools" for study and reform. After all, Daddy is "very smart" -- it is said that the teachers of the "cadre school" once set Daddy as a "role model" for the students to study and reform -- in terms of labor, they rushed to do it dirty and tired, and in terms of study, they memorized all the content they were required to learn word for word. Therefore, it took more than a year to renovate, and was sent to many primary schools in the county, the long one year or the short one half a year, although it did not enjoy the glorious title of "people's teacher", but was respectfully called "teacher" by students and teachers.

When she went to Changfeng Primary School for an internship, Daddy had only been here for more than two months. Although Daddy is a "rightist", the teachers respect him in private, not because he used to be a county magistrate, but because of his profound knowledge, superhuman memory, and of course, his personality and affairs, and everyone thinks that a person like Daddy who is knowledgeable, capable, approachable, and has a clear distinction between public and private will sooner or later be reinstated.

The students enjoyed Daddy's class very much, and there was no one who didn't praise Daddy, whether it was a junior or an older student. Daddy's class was very good, so that the participants felt as if they had been led into the ocean of knowledge, chasing the giant whale and swimming to their heart's content. Moreover, Daddy never brings a textbook to class, but his eyes are like a book, and when the student opens the book and asks him to test him, he can always accurately meet the wishes of the questioner.

She didn't have much contact with Daddy in Changfeng Primary School, and it was only superficial to talk about it, but she felt that Daddy was not only a very unusual person, but also a helpful and good person. She had also heard from other teachers that Daddy was now single and had a son who was older.

The short one-month internship period ended in a blink of an eye. After she returned to school, after careful consideration, she wrote a letter to her father, hoping that he could send her 5 yuan a month to help her complete her studies. There is a reason why this is the case. She has a father and a mother and a ten-year-old brother at home, but the mother is in poor health all the year round, so she borrowed money everywhere to treat the disease, just after her internship returned to school in the month, her mother passed away at a young age, and the family owed a huge debt of more than 120 yuan. Now, the income from Abba alone participating in the production team is no longer enough to continue her education.

Daddy remitted 5 yuan to her the month he received the letter, and insisted on remitting it every month, including the two months of the holiday to the school where she studied.

Since receiving Daddy's first remittance, she began to record her admiration and gratitude to Daddy in her diary, and of course she also recorded a lot of her usual wishful thinking and youthful good wishes, such as, looking for a man (to marry) is to find someone like Daddy, if she graduates Daddy is not married, as long as Daddy likes her, she is willing to marry him, although he looks slightly older than her Daddy, and has a young son, but she doesn't care about anything. Of course, these secrets are only contained in her heart and written in her diary, and it is impossible for outsiders to know.

It's really a disaster, it's like God wants to punish her for coming into this world. Half a year after she received her father's remittance, her father and her younger brother were on the way home from the market, and the tractor they took overturned under a big hurdle more than ten meters high, and several people were killed or injured at that time, among them, her father and her little brother left forever. Such an accident (the driver kindly dragged the villagers along the way), no one wants to happen, although the local government actively organized rescue and rescue, and issued some consolation money, but people can not be resurrected after death. The driver is also as poor as a villager, although he has repeatedly said that even if he is a cow and a horse, he will try his best to compensate the injured family, but what can he come up with, he must not force the bull to give birth.

At this time, she was exhausted, thinking only of the word "death", and thinking of the death of people to settle their accounts cleanly. But in the end, as if guided by the "gods" in the underworld, she couldn't hold back her tears and wrote a desperate letter for help to her father, who had been sent to the plateau commune and was attending a class in the plateau elementary school. After receiving the letter, Daddy generously remitted all the 150 yuan he had accumulated over the years to her, and wrote on the message board of the remittance form: "Be sure to turn your grief into strength and bury your relatives." Continue to send you money every month, and be sure to complete your studies. Remember, remember! ”

She walked out of the darkness shrouded in death in a trance, followed her father's advice, buried her relatives in great grief, and returned to school to continue studying. Just as she was two months away from graduation and had seen the light of day, Heaven had once again punished her severely, although her wounds had not yet healed, and she could not think of any sin she had committed.
