Chapter 9: Sacrifice
The girl knows what it means to mourn.
Ever since her brother said that her dad was a hero, she has often watched hero's TV.
Condolences.
It's what comes after the sacrifice.
"What is sacrifice?" The girl innocently asked her brother.
The young man scratched his head: "Sacrifice, that is, death, never to be seen again." ”
The old man soon heard the news and hurried back.
It was a messy day, the girl was just dumbfounded, many people ran in front of them, who took her into his arms and took her to the room to hide, the crutches in the hands of the grandfather, who had always been in good spirits, really played a supporting role for the first time, and the rickety back trembled slightly.
It wasn't until the evening that Jiang's mother picked up the girl who was still stupid from the aunt's house next door.
The man did not return, the warriors only brought back pennants and plaques, the man was forever guarded in a corner of the frontier that the girl did not know and would not know, and for various reasons it was even difficult to bring back his body.
The boy didn't go home, and Jiang's mother was extremely glad that the final exam was approaching recently, and the school was tight, so the boy didn't have a chance to run home.
At least let them be prepared to tell him again.
Jiang's mother took her daughter back to her chaotic home, although the family could only set up a tablet and a well-dressed mound, but there should still be customs.
The courtyard was full of people, old and young, men and women. But no one spoke, and everyone looked silently at the pennant and plaque in the hall.
The innocent voice of a child at the gate of the courtyard was particularly clear: "Mom, do we have a table to eat?" ”
Followed by a solid slap on the child's back, the child did not bring a howl, the crowd moved slightly, and the child was taken out by the mother with his mouth covered.
In the end, it was the old man in the village who spoke, and arranged the people in the courtyard for a meal, and those who should be pushed back, and those who could stay to help stay to help, and quickly arranged everything. Just looked at the old and young of this family, shook his head and sighed.
What about this family?
The old man still values strong labor, and now there is only half a child left in the family.
Jiang's mother still took her nephew's motorcycle to pick up her son overnight, and her husband left a letter, but she couldn't see him for the last time.
The boy looked at his mother, whose eyes were red and swollen, and trembled a little.
Maybe there is a family relationship, he has been nervous for the past few days, and he thought that he was nervous near the end of the period.
With tears in her eyes, Jiang's mother told her son the bad news.
He hugged his sister and looked blankly at his mother and grandfather who were crying, his eyes were red, but he didn't shed a single tear.
The boy doesn't remember how that time passed.
I just remember that when I woke up from that trance, my sister would be stupid.
The doctor said she was fine.
But she didn't like to laugh anymore, and she didn't listen anymore.
No, she was obedient, and the boy looked at his sister blankly, like a baby, her eyes following their movements and moving with a wrong move.
She likes to tug at the corners of the boy's clothes, clutching tightly, crumpled, with a force that is almost about to be pinched.
She couldn't hear anyone make her laugh anymore, the boy had seen her collapse, so small, beating her chest hard, crying.
"Don't laugh" "Smile can't catch Dad"
The boy always had to go to school, and the girl who had been staring at him quietly, seeing that he was about to walk out of the yard, suddenly ran over and hugged his thighs, maybe her cut nails penetrated the fabric of his pants, and the tears of the teenager also fell.
The boy squatted down, and after half a month, he finally hugged his sister and cried loudly at the door where the girl said goodbye to her father.
The young man hugged his sister, who kept shouting not to go, and repeated over and over again: "I won't go, my brother will never go, Yaoyao is good, my brother will come back soon." ”
The boy regretted it, regretted not stopping his father, regretted that he couldn't see his father for a while, and regretted letting his sister go through the process of farewell to receiving bad news alone.
The boy didn't let his sister drag his hand, even if his sister wanted to drag him for the rest of his life, he accepted it.
Since then, the teenager has changed to day school, so he can spend more time with his family.
……
Jiang's mother's cry came: "What did you promise your father? Be a good pillar. ”
The boy knelt on the futon, looked up at the tablet in front of him, and was in a trance.
Mother Jiang cried and collapsed to the side: "Mom, I'm sorry for you." It's mom useless. "Obviously, my son is still young, but he is responsible for another child.
He was supposed to go out and play like other children, but he seemed to be deprived of the right to refuse his sister and play happily.
The boy trembled and slowed his breathing: "Mom, it's my fault, I didn't do what I promised." ”
After my father died, the whole family relied on my mother to support her, and my sister is not completely good until now, she is still so obedient, and she only cares about being happy.
The figure of the girl falling from the tree seemed to appear in front of her again.
If something happens to his sister, he won't forgive himself.
Mother Jiang controlled her emotions: "Mom didn't let you play, last time you went to explore the woods, if you hadn't come back, the old hunter remembered what Gang Dan had asked and felt uneasy to investigate, your sister would be gone!" How can I rest assured. ”
Originally, since her father's death, the girl's high fever has improved a lot, and she doesn't remember much about those days, but she fell from the tree, although Orion arrived in time to catch the girl and drive away the wild boar, the girl came home and started a high fever again, calling her father and brother in a daze, holding the horns in her hands.
When I woke up, I didn't feel safe.
Jiang's mother cried with the boy in the end, did not punish him, asked the brother and sister to take a bath, hid in the room and took out a photo, and cried silently.
Jiang Yuzhou wrote:
After my dad left, I was the pillar of the family.
I knew everyone was scared, and I promised my dad that I would shoulder it when he wasn't there.
I will take good care of the family, I will not leave my sister behind, I will not forget my mother and grandfather, I will do better than him.
……
Lu Yao didn't continue to look at it, closed the notebook in embarrassment, and carefully put it away in the plastic bag.
The diary and Lu Yao's memories know how Jiang Yuzhou grew up, and he took over his father's responsibilities step by step.
He was better than his father, the hero.
Lu Yao lay on the bed and closed his eyes, but he had no chance to make up for it.
……
It was another morning, and Lu Yao had an unprecedented good night's sleep.
Before he finished washing up and went for a morning run according to his usual habits, the camera of the program team in the hut rang.
"Please get up and wash up, and gather in the living room before half past seven."
The program team played it three times in a row.
About the timeline: Daddy's death is at the front, followed by cherry picking, exploration, and swimming. My brother has the habit of writing a diary because of his father's death, and he has a cognitive defect in his speech because of this, and he will not say how I am, but how Yaoyao is, and the harm to my sister is great, and her behavior is very problematic.
