Today, the history teacher didn't come again, as if this situation had been going on for two or three months.

History class is Anne's favorite class, and the history teacher is also a very interesting person, because he is from Shaanxi, although the teachers in class are required to speak Mandarin, but every time the history teacher talks about the elated excitement, the Sanqin dialect accidentally pops up.

Anike loves history class, because the history teacher never memorizes the textbook boringly, and tells us all the historical stories in a storytelling way.

Lately, this substitute teacher has always come to teach history, and Anne can't listen to the lecture, which is very boring.

Anne fell asleep several times in history class, and in the middle of today's class, Anne was sleepy again.

In a drowsy state, Anne even dreamed in a daze, when suddenly there was a bang on her head, which frightened Anne and almost fell off her seat.

Anne saw a pair of legs in a daze, and when she looked up, Anne saw that the substitute teacher was actually standing next to Anne, which frightened Anne.

The substitute teacher spoke: "Annie Chang: What's the matter with you?" When you take my class, you are either sleepy, napping, or falling asleep? What do you mean? It's too disrespectful, right? Anne's heart beat faster in fright, and she stood up with a thud, her head bowed, and she did not dare to speak.

The substitute teacher seemed to be more excited, and slammed the lesson plan in his hand on Anne's desk and said, "Anne Chang: I observed that you don't have one class or two classes, but today you can tell me why you always sleep in class??? Do you think my class is bad? ”

Anne was too frightened to speak, and the substitute teacher said, "Anne Chang, in the future, you will stand at the back of the classroom for me to listen to my class, I don't believe it, you can fall asleep while standing."

Anne was so frightened that she hurried to the back of the last row of the classroom, and the substitute teacher returned to the podium and sighed deeply.

said: "In the past two months, your history teacher Tan has been sick and hospitalized, very sick, so I was temporarily pulled to replace your history class, I know that I am not talking about history, so I work hard every day to prepare for class, just hope to replace the class well, so that you don't delay studying, next year will be the high school entrance examination, aren't you in a hurry?" If you're not in a hurry, I'm anxious for you, and Teacher Tan is also anxious, but Teacher Tan is very seriously ill this time, and he may not even be able to go back to school to teach you history lessons...... He lies in the hospital every day, still thinking about you, thinking about you not to miss your homework because he can't come, and delay next year's high school entrance examination, what about you? Who understands the painstaking effort of being a teacher? You either eat or chat in class one by one, sleep without eating or chatting, your parents send you to school so that you can study hard, and they have high hopes for each of your classmates, but who among you understands the feelings of your parents? ”

The whole class was silent, and suddenly Li Qiang cried, and the substitute teacher said: "I'm not in the mood to continue today's class, you can study by yourself."

After speaking, he left the classroom with a water cup and a lesson plan, Li Qiang cried sadly alone, and his classmates all gathered around him to ask him what was going on, Li Qiang cried and didn't speak?

In the end, Guo Jing was anxious and shouted: "Li Qiang, can you stop crying, you tell everyone what's going on?"

Li Qiang raised his head with red and swollen eyes, and told everyone: "History Teacher Tan and Li Qiang's family live upstairs and downstairs, Li Qiang's house is on the first floor, Teacher Tan's house is on the second floor, Li Qiang heard his mother say that Teacher Tan has liver cancer, which is already in an advanced stage, and he won't live long."

When the students heard the news, they were shocked, some were silent, and some also cried with Li Qiang.

The mood of all the students was very heavy all day, and everyone decided to go to the hospital to visit Teacher Tan after school today.

In the blink of an eye, after school in the afternoon, Guo Jing called on everyone to say: "If you want to go to the hospital to see Teacher Chang, go together" So there was a bicycle team of more than 30 people at the school gate today, and everyone rushed to the hospital in a black pressure.

Rushed to the hospital and walked to the inpatient department, Guo Jing kept reminding everyone that this is a hospital, and it must not affect the recuperation of other patients, and the voice must be small, so many of us should not disturb the environment of others.

With that, everyone collectively relaxed their steps and walked inside.

At this moment, Li Qiang suddenly said, "Let's go to see Teacher Tan, should we buy something?" Buy some fruit and flowers or something? ”

Guo Jing said that she and Li Qiang went to the gate of the hospital to buy things, and asked everyone not to go in, but to wait in the inpatient compound first, otherwise there would be too many people going in, which would affect the patient's rest.

Anne went up and said that she would go too, so Guo Jing, Li Qiang and Anne rode to the fruit shop at the entrance of the hospital, bought a large fruit basket of imported fruits, and went out, Anne proposed to go to the flower shop next to her to buy a bouquet of flowers.

When I entered the flower shop, the proprietress of the flower shop was a middle-aged woman, and as soon as the three children entered the door, the proprietress got up from the recliner and said, "Children, what flowers to buy?"

Guo Jing said: "Auntie, our teacher is sick, we want to buy a bouquet of flowers for the teacher, what flowers should we buy?"

The proprietress revealed a peaceful smile on her slightly kind face: "Then it is suitable for the teacher to give carnations, lilies, gladiolus and bamboo." To send flowers to the teacher, you should show respect and love, so carnations are the most appropriate; In addition, the holy lily, the healthy gladiolus, and the evergreen bamboos are all suitable for expressing students' good wishes to teachers. ”

The three of them looked at the words in front of them, but Anne said: "Choose a lily, the lily has a fragrance, and Mr. Tan smells the fragrance of the lily, and the illness will get better faster."

The proprietress said: "Then buy 12 sticks, 12 sticks represent thinking about each other every day, your teacher receives your flowers, you will understand your blessings and hearts, and you will definitely recover your health soon"

Anne chose two sheets from a pile of wrappers on the table, one pink and one purple.

Anne said: "Auntie, use these two wrappers, pink with purple, good-looking" The last to pay was Guo Jing, the aunt said: "Originally, a lily cost 10 yuan, but Auntie saw that you are all still students, and you are not making money, so you will charge a little less, just give me 80, which is also a little bit of Auntie's heart, I wish you teachers a speedy recovery."

The original price of 120 flowers, 80 to buy, is equivalent to a 66% discount, three people took the flowers, very excited, rushed back to the inpatient department.

The classmates were about to go in, but they were stopped by the nurse: "Hey, what are you doing?" So many people? Who are you looking for? This is the inpatient unit."

Guo Jing said: "Sister nurse, we came to see our teacher, his surname is Tan, his name is Tan Yiming"

The nurse's sister turned around and entered the nurse's station in the inpatient department, picked up the hospitalization record, checked it, and flipped it one by one: "Tan Yiming~ Oh, I found it, Tan Yiming, who lives in Room 206 on the 2nd floor."

But I told you, the second floor is full of serious cancer patients, you need to rest, you can't disturb, there are so many of you, you can't all go in, you can only go in 3-5 people, and you have to come out after staying for a while, otherwise it will affect the patient's rest, and it will also disturb the patients in the same ward, you discuss, which people go in? ”

After discussion, it was decided that Guo Jing and Li Qiang, Guo Jing and I would go in to visit Teacher Tan, while the others were still waiting in the courtyard.

Walking out of the elevator, it was also strange, as soon as the elevator door opened, the first room opposite was 206, and the moment the door was opened, the three people were stunned.

I haven't seen him for more than two months, everyone can hardly recognize Mr. Tan, Mr. Tan's whole face is terrible, lying on the bed and falling asleep, Anne looks at Mr. Tan has changed a person, the whole person has lost more than 40 pounds, thin and shriveled.

But obviously Mr. Tan is not yet 30 years old this year, with a thousand paper cranes wearing red strings tied to the head of the bed, putting down the fruit basket and lilies, and the three of them stood silently, not daring to move, for fear of waking up Mr. Tan.

At this time, Guo Jing suddenly pointed to the door, covered her mouth and tiptoed out, Anne and Li Qiang also came out, and Anne closed the door gently.

Seeing Guo Jing's tears, Anne's eyes slid down, and a beam of light under the sunset just hit Guo Jing's face, and the crystal tears rolled down with sweat.

The three of them walked out of the gate of the inpatient department, and the classmates gathered around them and asked, "Did you see it?" How is Mr. Tan? ”

The three of us didn't answer, and the tears on Guo Jing's face made the students see the cruel reality, and everyone didn't speak.

After that day, we never saw Mr. Tan again, and we did not hear anything from Mr. Tan.

One day half a year later, the students knew that Mr. Tan had passed away, and the teacher who had been with us for 2 years was so quiet.

Leaving from us, leaving this world, I heard that his son is only 2 and a half years old, and that younger brother probably doesn't remember what Teacher Tan looks like.

Anne was sad for a long time, and she didn't adapt to it for a long time, and she changed 2 history teachers in the future, but Anne will never forget that Teacher Tan danced on the podium with emotion about those historical figures and historical stories.

It seems to be told like a story, especially when it comes to excitement, the Shaanxi dialect also bursts out, and no one will talk about history like Mr. Tan anymore.

Many years later, there was a column on TV called "Lao Liang Tells Stories", and Anne liked to watch it very much. Because the way the host's eyebrows fluttered when telling the story always reminded Anne of Teacher Tan.

"On the side of the ancient road outside the long pavilion, the grass is green.

The evening breeze blows the willow flute, and the sunset is outside the mountain.

The end of the sky and the corner of the earth, half of the acquaintances are scattered.

A scoop of turbid wine is all over the rest, don't dream of the cold tonight......"

The song "Farewell" came over the radio, as if singing Anne's mood at the moment.

Late at night, Anne, who is habitually insomnia, opens the "Life of Pi" in front of her.

There is a sentence in it, All of life is an act of letting go, but what hurts the most is not taking a moment to say goodbye.

(Life is about constantly letting go, but the most regrettable thing is that we don't have time to say goodbye!) ）
