“……

Listen, someone is singing,

That one of your favorite songs!

How much complexity is there in the world,

Don't worry about it anymore!

……”

The song wafted, and the wildflowers on the hillside seemed to shake to the rhythm, and everyone burst into tears.

is not because of how well Jiang Shan sings, but the sentence "The grave is full of flowers", just seven words not only respond to the scene in front of you, but also tell a distance that cannot be crossed.

This song seems to tell the story of Teacher Li, she comes softly and leaves gently. As the song sings, "You left in such a hurry, leaving me to worry about it for the rest of my life, and the grave full of flowers is what you longed for." ”

The lyrics are full of nostalgia, as well as regrets that can never be made up, and every word pierces everyone's hearts.

The clouds in the western sky gradually dispersed, and the wild flowers all over the mountain were listless, and the old principal led everyone to leave Li Manman's grave and slowly descend the mountain.

Jiang Xiaobai walked at the back, and after walking for a while, he looked back and saw the high new tomb, and suddenly felt lonely, as if he saw Li Manman standing there alone.

He couldn't hold back his tears.

Yang Jie also happened to turn around, stopped after seeing it, and said, "Don't be too sad, you will be very happy to know that you came to see her." ”

Jiang Xiaobai shook his head, "I'm not sad about this, people can't be resurrected after death, I know that there is no way to do it, I just think that there is a lonely grave on the hillside, Li Manman is buried there alone, she must be very lonely." ”

He raised his hand to wipe away a handful of tears, looked at Yang Jie, and said, "Why didn't her parents take her back for burial at that time?" ”

He actually wanted to ask this question all along, but he didn't think it was appropriate.

But when he saw the lonely grave at this moment, he couldn't hold back any longer, and finally asked.

Yang Jie sighed and said, "At that time, Uncle Li and Aunt Lan wanted to take Manman back, but the weather was too hot in those days, and it was far from Shanhua Village to Xueluozhai, so it would take more than half a day to carry the coffin out." ”

smiled sadly, and said: "At that time, the villagers said that they were willing to help carry the coffin, but they couldn't find a car to transport the coffin to Qingzhou. ”

"If you use an ox cart to pull it back, people will stink!"

"In the end, Uncle Li couldn't bear to suffer this crime after his death, so he had to bury Manman here!"

Jiang Xiaobai listened, and felt even more guilty.

If he had come with Yang Jie at that time, he could have called to arrange for Li Manman's coffin to be transported back to Qingzhou!

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault!"

"If I had come with you that day, I wouldn't have been able to go home for a long time!"

Jiang Xiaobai said with tears in his eyes.

Yang Jie sighed and said, "You can't be blamed for this, maybe she wants to stay here!" ”

Jiang Xiaobai shook his head, he didn't know if Li Manman wanted to stay here, but he didn't want to, he didn't have the right to decide this matter, so he said: "After you go back, you discuss it with Manman's parents, if they agree, I will arrange to take Manman back to Qingshan." ”

Yang Jie was stunned for a moment, and said: "Even if you want to take her back, it won't work now, people die in the ground, it's not good to move the grave now, wait for three years, even if you don't say it, it is estimated that Uncle Li and Aunt Lan will do it." ”

Jiang Xiaobai was stunned for a moment and nodded helplessly.

The group soon arrived at the bottom of the hillside, and the villagers invited Jiang Xiaobai and Yang Jie to eat at home, each more enthusiastic than the other.

Jiang Xiaobai politely refused one by one, saying that today is the Double Ninth Festival, so he won't bother everyone, he brought food and accompanied the old principal to have a drink.

Back at school, Jiang Xiaobai went to the stove house to cook, the old principal said that he would help, Jiang Xiaobai had no choice but to let him, and the two were busy in the stove house.

Yang Jie took Jiang Shan in the room before Li Manman, and she asked the little guy to teach her to sing the song "Lilacs".

So, one taught, the other learned, and the two began to sing in the house.

Yang Jie almost sang and cried, Jiang Shan said: "Aunt Yang, you sing and cry every time, or you should not learn it!" ”

Yang Jie wiped her tears and said, "No, Shanshan, you must teach me, I will sing to your Aunt Li in the future, she must like to listen to it!" ”

"Alright then!"

Jiang Shan began to teach again.

“……

The grave is full of flowers,

What a beauty you desire!

Behold, all over the mountains,

Do you still feel lonely?

……”

When Yang Jie learned the song, Jiang Xiaobai and the old principal also cooked dinner, and the four of them ate at the small square table in the stove house.

"Old Headmaster, today is the Chung Yeung Festival, I wish you good health!"

Jiang Xiaobai opened the bottle of Moutai he brought, filled a glass to the old principal and said.

The old principal raised his glass and said: "Xiao Jiang, I accept your blessings, and I also hope that my body is still strong, otherwise Teacher Li is gone, and I will be left alone in the school, if my body collapses, the children will have no one to class!" ”

"For the sake of the children, I also want to live a few more days!"

As he spoke, he drank it all, but two lines of tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.

He knew in his heart that his body was ...... I'm afraid it won't last long!

Alas...... Hold on for an extra day!

If you can't hold it anymore, add a new grave on the eastern slope.

In that way, Mr. Li will no longer be alone!

The old principal's expression fell into Jiang Xiaobai's eyes, he was both admiring and sad, and said: "Old principal, after a while, I will arrange for someone to repair the school, and then replace the desks and chairs for the children......"

When the old principal heard this, he was overjoyed at first, and then waved his hand, "Xiao Jiang, don't be so troublesome, although the conditions here are difficult, but they can still hold on, what Shanhua Primary School needs is not classrooms and desks." ”

The latter words, he did not say.

What Shanhua Elementary School needs is a teacher!

Once he also followed Li Manman, there would be no teachers here, even if there were new classrooms and new desks, what was the use?

Jiang Xiaobai roughly guessed the old principal's thoughts, and said: "Old principal, you don't have to worry about the teacher, you hold on for a few more days, and I will arrange a few teachers to come over after I go back." ”

Yes?

The old principal and Yang Jie were both taken aback.

Yang Jie said: "Can you still arrange for the teacher to come over?" ”

Jiang Xiaobai said: "It's man-made, I want to find a way to arrange a few teachers to come over, it shouldn't be a problem." ”

The old principal opened his mouth and said, "Xiao Jiang, you have this heart, I thank you." ”

"Come, I respect you!"

As he spoke, he raised his glass and took another sip.

After putting down the glass, he continued: "But the conditions here are too difficult, and no one wants to come, and even if they do, they can't stay. ”

"Don't worry about that!"

Jiang Xiaobai had already made a decision in his heart, but he didn't say anything, and said: "Old principal, don't worry about anything else, in a few days, you can say hello to the village chief here, and say that someone is coming to repair the school, just don't let them misunderstand." ”

Seeing that Jiang Xiaobai insisted, the old principal persuaded him several times, but in the end he didn't persuade him, so he had to agree.

After the four of them finished eating, the old principal arranged for Yang Jie to take Jiang Shan to sleep and let Jiang Xiaobai sleep in his room.

After a day of running, Yang Jie and Jiang Shan quickly turned off the lights and went to sleep.

Jiang Xiaobai was in the old principal's room, and after the two chatted for a while, he asked the old principal to sleep first, and he took a flashlight and a bottle of wine to go out.

Head towards the eastern slope.
