A place far, far away from the city center. There is a village in this place, and there are about a dozen families living in the village. It is divided into two groups, one group of residents at the bottom of the mountain and two groups of households at the top of the mountain. Zhang Xiaohua's family is a resident of the mountain.

The mountain is more than 1,000 meters high, and if the people in the village go up and down the mountain, they have to go over the mountain, so there is generally nothing major to do, and the people under the mountain will not go up the mountain, and the people on the mountain will not go down.

Zhang Xiaohua has been on this mountain for 18 years from birth to now, and has never gone down the mountain. I didn't feel bad, and I didn't feel particularly good.

One afternoon, as usual, she went deep into the jungle with a few friends of the same age to collect medicine. was picking up his energy, and suddenly someone was shouting his name. It sounded like her aunt.

She hurriedly threw the herbs in her hand into the frame and hurried back with the box on her back. "My aunt called me, I'll go back first. You pick more, don't forget to share some with me when you come back" "Don't worry, I'll keep it for you, you can go back quickly".

When I got out of the jungle, I saw her aunt standing at the door of the house, not far from the edge of the cliff. Hunched over, with his hands on his lips, he shouted vigorously at the top of his voice.

"Zhang Xiaohua... Zhang Xiaohua...". Zhang Xiaohua heard it and hurriedly replied, "Auntie... Aunt". "Zhang Xiaohua... Zhang Xiaohua". "Auntie... Auntie...", the two of them voiced in the hollow. For a time, the names of two people swirled in the valley.

"Auntie, what's the matter with calling me in such a hurry?" Zhang Xiaohua ran like a gust of wind, panting and came to her aunt (Zhang Aimei) and raised her head and asked.

"What are you doing this girl running so far, your dad is almost dying, you go to see him for the last time, it's too late." Listening to her aunt's words, she was so sad that she almost fell to the ground. His nose was sore, tears rained down, the frame was thrown, and he ran home. cried out "Daddy, Daddy, you must wait for me".

As soon as she arrived at the door, she heard a mourning voice at home, she felt bad, and she was still a step late. She cried even more sadly, tears blurred her vision, and she didn't see it when she passed the threshold, and as a result, she fell directly and ate.

"Where are you going, you only came back at this time, Daddy has been gone for a while" Her eldest brother saw her fall to the ground and came over to help her up. She shook off his eldest brother and threw herself down at his father's bedside and began to cry.

"Blame me, blame me, why did you run so far, if I had sent the medicine back in advance, Dad wouldn't have gone so fast."

"How can I blame you, your dad took this medicine, he has taken a lot of medicine before and prepared it at home, and the amount of medicine he takes every day is enough, only blame your dad for him... Her mother began to cry again as she spoke. ”

Hearing her mother's grief-stricken crying, she turned around and threw herself into her mother's arms, hugged her mother and cried in the dark.

Then her aunt also ran back, and saw the mother and daughter hugging each other and crying bitterly, and then looked at the white cloth covering the bed. Without saying a word, he cried "Big brother, why did you just leave like this" leaned forward and leaned back to the side of the bed crying, unable to control himself.

After a while, her grandfather helped her grandmother to rush over, who knew that her grandmother was so sad when she saw this, she couldn't get up in one breath, and fainted on the spot.

Everyone was busy taking care of grandma for a while, comforting grandpa for a while, and sad for her father for a while. The room went in and out, sighing, crying, and messing.

In this way, Zhang Xiaohua lost her father, and she became a child without a father, but fortunately, she still has a mother and two brothers, which allowed her to recover from her grief.

The days passed day by day, and in a blink of an eye, the new semester was ushered in. His eldest brother is in his senior year, his second brother is in his junior year, and she also received a college acceptance letter today.

She took the acceptance letter and hid it inside her clothes. The little joy that I couldn't hide in my heart, jumped up and down from time to time on the road, couldn't help dancing, thinking about going home to surprise my mother.

When I walked to the door, I saw my mother sitting in the hall, beating her chest and crying silently, so sad. Worried, she ran over to ask why.

"Your mother is useless, your father is gone, and your brother's tuition fees will not be settled. And you, you're going to college in the city soon. But the family doesn't have enough money, which is good."

It turned out to be because of the money, "Mom, don't worry, let's go to my aunt to borrow, my uncle has been working in the city all these years, and there should be some spare money on hand, she usually loves me the most, I went to borrow it from her, and she will definitely lend it to me."

"I've asked, your aunt doesn't have much money to spare at the moment, your cousin is working in the field, has not been happy, changed several jobs, didn't earn money, and has been asking your aunt to send her money, your uncle has earned money over the years, and it has been subsidized to your cousin."

"Then ask my aunt, I used to hear her say that her cousin mixed well in the city, and she became a department manager. Their family should have been more comfortable, and they would have been able to lend us money."

"Yes, I also asked your aunt, your aunt can still take out some money, but it is only enough for two people's tuition, and it is not enough for three people." It turned out that the borrowed money was only enough for two people's tuition. So mom is in a dilemma.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaohua became inexplicably sad, and her mother must have thought of the methods she could think of, and they were all in vain, so her mother was so sad.

The eldest brother is already in his senior year and will graduate in one year, and the second brother is already in his junior year, so they can't give up halfway. It seems that he has to give up his studies.

I was finally admitted to the university, and I have longed for it countless times in my heart, the appearance of the college campus, how colorful the college life is, but now, I am afraid she will not be able to go to it.

"Mom, don't be in a hurry. I'll tell you something, don't be angry," her mother looked at her in surprise and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhang Xiaohua said hesitantly, "I didn't get admitted to college," and her mother asked with some skepticism: "Didn't you say you had the chance to win before, why do you say that you didn't get into it now?" ”

Hearing her say that she was not admitted to university, although her mother was angry, she was also relieved. There is no need to be in a dilemma, the current dilemma is solved.

After appeasing her mother, she left the house, ran to the banyan tree alone, took out the admission notice, looked and looked, and her eyes were reluctant to leave. remembered her mother's embarrassment, and she resolutely tore it into several parts.

He pulled out a pit under the banyan tree with both hands, took out a square wooden box from the pit, opened the box, and put the torn admission letter into several copies, along with the envelope. It is then buried in the soil.
