The most important thing when I was a student was the college entrance examination, and I really felt a lot of emotion when I was young and ignorant when I first entered the campus.

We sent away batch after batch of high school juniors and ushered in wave after wave of high school freshmen. Where there is parting, there is an encounter, whether it is graduation or enrollment.

It's time for us to play, too.

Before the college entrance examination, fresh candidates will take a week off to review by themselves, and Northwillow Middle School is no exception. Approaching the last day of the holiday, the head teacher gave a generous speech, and after that, everyone gathered to go to the playground to take graduation photos.

As early as the morning, I saw that there were shelves in the playground for people to stand on. The principal and other leaders were communicating with a person with a camera, and it wasn't the first time I had seen him. A few years ago, it seems that this person came to take graduation photos for high school juniors.

Entering the class, there are already a lot of people talking about it.

Sure enough, after reading in the morning, the radio announced that all the high school juniors would gather in the playground. The broadcast didn't say anything specifically, but everyone knew it.

First of all, a group photo of the whole grade, the positions are all arranged in advance, and you can only stand according to the rules.

After the shooting, because we were in the first class, we naturally went on stage first. There are not so many requirements and rules for class photos, and who to stand with, where to stand, and how to stand are all based on your own ideas.

Since Shengjing is in the first class of liberal arts, he can't appear in the same frame as us. The remaining five members of the small group stood together, sandwiching me in the middle. Bai Lan and Xianqiong were the tallest and should have stood in front, but after Xianqiong and He An spoke a few words, they stood on He An's place - to my left.

"Come, students, look at the camera! 3，2，1……”

"Students, we are about to graduate, and everyone knows the hardships of the past three years. We will inevitably have the urge and thoughts of being tired and even tired of studying, and as we approach the last moment, I hope you can cheer up and continue to work hard. After taking the photo, all the staff returned to the class, and Lao Hu was standing on the podium at this time to say our last goodbye.

"In five, ten, or even twenty years, you will be grateful to yourself for working hard now."

"Old Hu, behind you!" After Lao Hu finished speaking, Lin Chuan shouted in the hall.

After taking the photo, under Bai Lan's arrangement, I found two good writers and ran back to the class non-stop to write a "leave note" on the blackboard.

"It's been very popular in recent years, and it's all over the Internet during graduation season." Shuqi pointed to the blackboard and whispered in my ear.

Leave slip

Dear Lao Hu: Due to graduation reasons, we have decided to ask you for leave, time: forever.

Opinion:

"Haha, you're pretty professional." Lao Hu said with a smile, picked up the chalk and wrote the word "agree" in the opinion. We were a little disappointed when we saw it, probably because we thought that if the leave slip was approved, we should write an agreement.

"You ......" he choked up, and the words seemed to be stuck in his throat, and not a single sound came out.

He turned around again and added a "no" before "agree", turned his back to us, and wiped his eyes.

He threw the chalk to the ground and shouted with all his strength, "Get out of school!" Come on for the college entrance examination! ”

Some students with low tears cried directly, got up and hugged Lao Hu, and more and more people got up. After a while, at the door of a small classroom, it was crowded with people, surrounding Lao Hutuan.

……

On June 5, everyone discussed where to live in the college entrance examination. He An decided to stay with Shengjing in a hotel closer to the examination room, and Bai Lan and Xianqiong rented a homestay.

Suqi didn't have the habit of living outside, and we continued to live together.

"You say, He'an is leaving, what should Zhang Ye do?" I stopped brushing the question and turned my head to ask Suqi.

"What, what's going to happen to you?" She put away the herb and knocked me and said, "Shut your crow's mouth." ”

I rubbed where she had knocked me, and thought to myself, too, I can't always think about these useless things.

"Let's take the college entrance examination with heart, I still want us to ...... in the future" She said halfway through and shut up.

I nodded vigorously and said, "Don't worry, I'll accompany you to Beijing." ”

Yes, Suqi dreams of the best university in the country - Beijing University. I still remember when I first entered high school, I thought that in three years, I would just go to college, play for four years, and get a diploma.

But step by step, one thing happened and changed my mind. I have bigger goals, more plans.

However, because of one incident, the trajectory and direction of my life were completely changed.

June 7th, the first day of the college entrance examination. On that day, I woke up early. Zhang Ye is old, and there are many inconveniences. Usually cooking, housework and everything are done by He An, presumably He An is not here these days, and Zhang Ye will have some difficulties in life.

So, I decided to go to Zhang's house first and buy him a breakfast to bring over. Once everything was planned, I would have an hour to go to the exam room to prepare. Just like this, he slowly went to He'an's house.

He An's family is in an urban village, and a breakfast stall has been set up on the roadside early in the morning. I bought two cages of fresh meat buns, and I remember that Zhang Ye loved to eat this the most. Carrying the bun around a few times, he came to He'an's house.

There was a knock on the door, but no one answered. After a few more knocks, his head was pressed against the door, and there was not the slightest movement in the room.

Although Zhang Ye is old, his ears have always been very good. Unlike some old people, you have to shout close to your ear to talk to him.

Did you go out? I said in my heart, but it's impossible, Zhang Ye is not like some people who get up in the morning to do tai chi, walk birds, and run in the morning.

I had a hint of foreboding in my heart, and I slammed the door a few more times, calling for Zhang Ye. It's still the same.

I gritted my teeth, put the bun aside, took a few steps back, ran away, and kicked the door open. The moment the door opened, I fell on my heels. Ignoring the pain coming from my body, I got up and rushed in.

After entering, he found that Zhang Ye was leaning on the sofa with his eyes closed peacefully, still holding a book in his hand.

I walked over slowly, approached him and whispered, "Master Zhang." ”

There was no reaction at all.

I put my fingers under Zhang Ye's nose and tested my breath. It's a pity that it's already out of breath. I frowned and closed my eyes.

What to do. Tell He'an now? Maybe he will come back regardless of everything, although he won't, he still can't play his normal strength in the college entrance examination because of worry and grief.

It's strange that there is a deceased person around me, but I don't feel terrible at all, I just feel that I can't express the feelings in my heart. I thought of how Zhang Ye entertained us and cared for us in the past.

He treats us like our loved ones. Maybe there will be a meaning of repaying us for treating He'an well.

I picked up the book that was still open in Zhang Ye's hand and closed it. Place gently on the coffee table. I touched the teacup on the table, which was still half of the tea, and it was already cold and transparent, like my heart.
