Winter is finally coming to an end, and there is no air conditioning or heating in the mountains.

The people walking on the street had their arms tightly tucked into their cuffs, and only a few tireless children were still chasing after them in the cold wind.

From time to time, they rub their little hands with each other.

A beam of warm sunlight jumped through the rickety glass window, reflecting on the podium, on the children's desks, in the homework books, on the yo-yo......

"Zhao Xun, if we were still young, if we could do it again, you would still do it, right?"

Looking at Gu Chen's serious face, Zhao Xun didn't know how to answer him.

And then you can only say the last sentence "loved", that's all.

Today is the tenth year that Gu Chen has come to Hewlett-Packard Village, and compared to Zhao Xun, it has taken a long time.

Gu Chen and Zhao Zhao got up early and washed up, and then came to Sun Yuanming's house early at the invitation of the village chief.

In the past few years since he came to Huipu Village to teach, Gu Chen has basically never returned to his hometown, and there are no relatives left in his hometown.

Gu Chen occasionally thinks of Ruoxi when he lectures to children.

Forcibly enduring the faint pain in his heart, Gu Chen would still climb to the top of the mountain alone after class, and then look into the distance.

The only thing that worries Uncle Ruo is that he has less faith over the years.

I don't know if he is doing well, whether the child in the family has grown into a big child, Gu Chen doesn't know.

Gu Chen could only rely on the appearance of Ruo in the past to occasionally imagine what his younger brother would look like.

Time flies quickly, sometimes Gu Chen will suddenly forget Ruoxi's appearance, and sometimes when he stares at Zhao Xun, he will suddenly call out Ruoxi's name.

And in Zhao Xun's memory, Zhao Xun has no way of knowing who this girl named Ruoxi is.

Zhao Xun only knew that she must be a very important woman for Gu Chen.

In the past few years that Gu Chen has been in the village, although he has welcomed the arrival of many new lives, he has also become accustomed to seeing life and death.

Although with the development of poverty alleviation work in recent years, the conditions in the village have improved a lot, and the villagers have their first way to the outside world.

The children also have a new school, but there are still many disadvantages in terms of medical treatment.

It is difficult to see a doctor and look down on the doctor, which has always been the biggest problem plaguing HP Village.

Some elderly people have been working since they were three years old, and their bodies are naturally very tough when they are young.

But when they reach a certain age, they obviously have to age much older than others, and then the parts of their bodies are getting worse and worse.

And today Gu Chen is going to attend Sun Yuanming's funeral.

Do you still remember the year when Gu Chen first went to Hewlett-Packard Village?

Every weekend, Gu Chen would organize the children to go up the mountain to collect some medicinal herbs and come back, and then take them to the market to sell them for money.

Gu Chen remembered the money he had for the first time to sell medicinal herbs, and Sun Yuanming's youngest son was in his early four or five years old at that time.

He changed Sun Yuanming with a pair of soles with peony soles, and Sun Yuanming was very happy that day.

As for why Sun Yuanming became disabled later?

Gu Chen also learned about it later in his relationship with the villagers.

Sun Yuanming's family has not been very wealthy since the generation of his grandparents.

For generations, our ancestors have made a living from some simple farming in this village.

In Sun Yuanming's generation, through the introduction of his family, Sun Yuanming was able to marry a wife.

The family conditions are poor, and after marrying a wife, Sun Yuanming is willing to do it alone, and he can't wait to do five things into one thing.

But who knew that the wife was not a master to be messed with at all, and of course she was not the kind of woman who was willing to live a hard life with Sun Yuanming.

After nearly two years of arguing and arguing, they gave birth to their current youngest son.

In order to make the family's life richer, Sun Yuanming's wife would sometimes walk to several villages on foot, and then go to someone to inquire where there was a place where money came quickly and could earn a lot of money from time to time.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for her to inquire.

Just over 500 kilometers from their village, there is a natural mine, a little farther away, but much more money than it is now.

Sun Yuanming's wife was afraid that other villagers would know, so she went to work with Sun Yuanming, so she always let Sun Yuanming work secretly.

remembers that when Sun Yuanming opened his salary for the first time, his wife didn't even praise Sun Yuanming.

Not to mention asking how he got over such a long distance, or in the wind and rain, or in the mud, and sometimes even in the abominable landslides.

She didn't even say a word, it was as if she only had money in her eyes.

Of course, only money can make her happy.

Sun Yuanming's wife used the hard-earned money he earned to first buy a decent new dress for herself at the market, and then went back to her hometown, saying that she had something to deal with.

And under Sun Yuanming's repeated questioning, he reluctantly bought a super cheap can of milk powder for their youngest son, which was on sale, and also bought one get one free.

After spending the money that kept her from backache this time, Sun Yuanming's wife became even more serious.

In the past, when it was raining heavily, she would occasionally ask Sun Yuanming to stop work for a day, but now she won't.

As long as she saw that Sun Yuanming did not go to the mine, she was like a lioness who had gone crazy, and began to roar in various ways, and even used all kinds of ugly words to insult Sun Yuanming.

After all, someone gave birth to a child for him, in this big mountain, a woman doesn't want you to eat and wear, fortunately she has to take care of the child at home, and Sun Yuanming, who has no choice, can only go out to earn money.

With their hands on their trouser legs, they went to the woodpile in the yard and picked out a thick stick that could support his weight.

I thought I would come over for a bite of breakfast and go to the mine, but after a look, the empty dining table may be due to a rainy day, and my wife and children are still asleep.

The kind-hearted Sun Yuanming was afraid of alarming his wife and children, so he simply went hungry, so he decided to wait until noon to eat together.

In fact, it was on that day that Sun Yuanming happened.

Due to the storm that day, the mine was overmined, and various factors superimposed on it, and unexpectedly, the mine collapsed.

Sun Yuanming was unlucky to be crushed under the mine.

It wasn't until Sun Yuanming's wife received a call from the mine that she was still asking in a questioning tone:

"What? You say my man is crushed under the mine? What can he do! ”

The contractor on the mine contacted the rescue team, and the sky was not beautiful, and it was still non-stop.

After all, human lives are below, and it is impossible to predict how many people are buried under the mine.

When Sun Yuanming was discovered, his consciousness was still clear except for the lack of sensation in his lower body.

Including when he was sent to the hospital later, Sun Yuanming never saw his wife.

Severe ischemia and hypoxia led to Sun Yuanming being forced to undergo amputation surgery at that time, and he underwent a total of four or five surgeries before and after.

Since then, Sun Yuanming, who has lost his ability to work, can only finish his lower body in a wheelchair.

The mine decided to compensate Sun Yuanming with nearly 200,000 yuan in compensation for all work-related injuries.

After the compensation was determined, Sun Yuanming's wife only came to the hospital to see Sun Yuanming once, and brought some eggs when she came.

Sun Yuanming gave his wife the bank card with the compensation money and asked her to take it back to his home.

Sun Yuanming said that he is actually very able to understand his wife, it is not easy at home, and there is a small child waiting for his mother to take care of.

Until the day Sun Yuanming was discharged from the hospital, he had actually prepared for the worst, but he didn't expect that day to come so quickly.

After Sun Yuanming arrived home, he found a group of onlookers standing at the door, and at first Sun Yuanming thought that everyone was here to welcome him.

Even Sun Yuanming, who is in a wheelchair, still has to show his best side when facing everyone.

Most of the people in the mountains are simple, since they can come to Sun Yuanming's door, they must not be here to join in the fun, they really care about him.

Sun Yuanming pushed open his wooden gate and saw his youngest son sitting in the courtyard at a glance.

The son was sitting on the ground at the time, and the yard became muddy after the rainstorm, and the younger son naturally had a lot more mud on his body.

"Wynn! Wynn! Why are you sitting on the ground, go, go and find your mother to come out, and you will say that your father is out of the hospital. ”

Three-year-old children still don't understand what discharge is, let alone what natural disasters are.

He could only see his father, who was still standing and walking a few days ago, why he hadn't seen him for a while, and he had become sitting and walking.

"Daddy."

"Go and call Mom! Wynn. ”

Sun Yuanming seemed to be starting to discover something.

The villagers standing outside the door bowed their heads.

"Come on, Wynn, come here."

The youngest son heard Sun Yuanming calling him, and then crawled out of the dirt slowly.

"Mommy, Mommy......"

"Wynn, is Mommy at home? Did you go out and visit the door? ”

"Yuan Ming, you're back, who sent you back after walking such a long way?"

An enthusiastic aunt suddenly stood up and asked.

"A brother who used to work together in the mine sent me back, that, did you see Wynn, you see I asked this kid and he didn't say anything."

"I think he's just underwhelming!"

As soon as he heard that Sun Yuanming was going to beat him, the little son was not stupid, so he quickly hid behind his aunt.

"Wynn, ......"

"What's wrong? What the happened to Wynn? ”

"Oh, Yuan Ming, you better go in and see for yourself!"

"What the hell is going on, why don't you say it?"

In fact, it's not that others don't tell him where the Wynn went, but that no one dares to tell him just like that.
