1. In early spring, there is a faint smell of □□□ in the air.

Wu Xian lay on the railing of the corridor on the fourth floor of the teaching building, in a daze.

The teaching building of the school is really designed like a prison cell, square and square, with a courtyard-like space in the middle, with some green plants growing messily, and the stone benches that could have been used to sit on them grew long due to neglect. It is covered with moss. The school originally thought that students could sit down and enjoy the climbing vines all over the floor after class, but they didn’t think about it. The original 10-minute breaks are usually dragged on for several minutes by the slow-moving teachers, and then they are ready. The bell will strike 2 minutes before the last class, so the so-called 10 minutes between classes is not necessarily 5 minutes between classes. Who would want to run down the mountain to see some climbing vines.

The fourth floor is the ninth grade classroom, the third floor is the eighth grade classroom, and the second floor is the seventh grade.When Wu Xian was in a daze, his eyes were dazed, but he kept looking in the direction of the eighth grade on the third floor.

The preparatory bell started to ring, and even if Wu Xian was in a daze, she still couldn't pretend not to hear the sound resounding through the teaching building. The next class was the math teacher's class, no matter how bad she was, thinking that it was Teacher Zhou's class after all, that Teacher Xiao Zhou, who is very close to me, has to go to class, and has to work hard to concentrate, although it is really difficult for her to concentrate now. "Alas!" In the end, he sighed in frustration, but Wu Xian turned around and prepared to enter the classroom for class.

Zhou Ruxin took the textbooks and teaching aids out of the office door, saw Wu Xian's dejected back at a glance, and remembered that the child's "The first day of loving her" that was updated every day in the □□ space disappeared yesterday, and only The next crying expression, and a long string of ellipsis, it seems that this poor child has lost love again.While thinking about how to comfort the child later, she walked into the classroom slowly and prepared to start class.

Sure enough, in this math class, Wu Xian had difficulty concentrating on listening to the class no matter what. When the get out of class bell rang, Teacher Xiao Zhou had just finished speaking the last sentence, so the get out of class ended smoothly.This should be one of the reasons why she is liked by the students. Basically, everyone knows the fact that Teacher Xiao Zhou never procrastinates.

After tidying up her things a little, Zhou Ruxin looked at Wu Xian who was lying on the desk, then approached her, and asked in a low voice, "Hey, do you want to talk to me?"

Of course Wu Xian knew that this was a kind of concern and respect, but now she really didn't want to talk, so she just shook her head and said nothing.

Zhou Ruxin thought for a while: "Why don't you come find me after school? You know, I'm not in a hurry to go home anyway."

Wu Xian didn't want to brush off her kindness: "Yeah".

Many people are envious of being a teacher. When talking about the profession of teaching, they usually say, how wonderful it is to be a teacher. You only need to take two classes a day and you will be fine. There are also long winter and summer vacations. What a blessing.

What about the truth?Anyway, Zhou Ruxin was not idle all day.In addition to the class, she spent two classes slowly and carefully correcting homework, pointing out the intellectual errors in the children's homework, and put forward ideas for correction, and then spent two classes going through some exercises in this chapter, After summing up the difficulty of A and B levels, the next step is to prepare lessons carefully.Except for lunch and a short lunch break, Zhou Ruxin was busy until after school in the afternoon before being ready for the next day's class.

After taking a few sips of water and stretching, the bell for the last class in the afternoon began to ring.Zhou Ruxin understands the style of Wu Xian and his class teacher very well. Even if they don't stay in class, they usually have to be scolded for at least 10 minutes before letting them go.

She looked at the office, only to find that the other colleagues in the office had already left work. It seemed that she was honored to be the last one again.Zhou Ruxin sighed, she has been in this school for many years without knowing it, even the security guard at the school gate knows that Teacher Xiao Zhou is always the last one to leave the school.

People who are in a hurry to leave after get off work are probably in a hurry to "go home".Zhou Ruxin never felt that she had a home in this city, even though she had lived in this city for several years.Zhou Ruxin is not a native of Huacheng, her hometown is in the hometown of Mao Zedong.Thinking of the legendary hometown where red azaleas bloomed all over the mountain, Zhou Ruxin smiled bitterly. I'm afraid that hometown can no longer be called hometown.

If a place can be called a hometown, does it have to have a home there?

Of course, Zhou Ruxin used to have a family, although there were only two people in the family, even though the family was just a few small farmhouses with low thatched eaves.However, in Zhou Ruxin's heart, the father who loved her dearly, the father who devoted his whole life to her, the father who was only 160 tall because of malnutrition when he was young, was as tall as a mountain in Zhou Ruxin's heart.

Zhou Ruxin's mother suffered from dystocia and hemorrhage when she gave birth. Even though she was treated and survived, the medical conditions in the countryside were poor.There is so much work in the countryside, and Zhou's mother is a strong woman. She has to struggle to do this and that soon after the baby is born, and she has to go to the field to harvest when her health improves a little. Zhou Ruxin's father actually disagrees with his wife. hard work.But the old people can't help but say that the bones of the rural people are in good health, and Zhou's mother is very stubborn that she is fine, and that doing more work is only good for her body, so let her go.

Many, many years later, an acquainted neighbor once sighed and said to Zhou Ruxin: "The rape blossoms in that spring bloomed very well, especially the field you planted at home. At a glance, there are large patches of yellow, everyone. It is said that your mother is really worthy of being a capable woman, even planting a rapeseed flower is stronger than other people's, but it's a pity..."

It's a pity that that capable woman fell in her own rapeseed field in the spring of that year and never got up again.

In the long years that followed, Zhou's father lived with all kinds of self-blame and longing for his dead wife, and refused many good-hearted neighbors to make friends. The father and daughter depended on each other for more than ten years in a blink of an eye.

That year, 18-year-old Zhou Ruxin had just been admitted to university. After completing a whole month of military training, she sat in the university classroom for a few days before waiting for the seven-day golden vacation.

Zhou Ruxin will never forget that day in that year.It's the anniversary of the motherland, and the whole country is jubilant, how many people are waiting to watch the military parade with great interest.In fact, Zhou Ruxin was not very keen on this military parade, but it was rare that she could not sleep the night before. Zhou Ruxin woke up early this morning. After tossing and turning all night, she just thought that she could go home and be with her for more than a month Excited and restless without seeing his father, but he doesn't know that the blood relatives are connected with each other, and how many things have already been foretelled by the heavens.

In the early morning of October 9st, the dormitory was very quiet. Many students who were far away from the school had already taken the train home last night.Zhou Ruxin actually wanted to go home the day before, but unfortunately, a class she took was rescheduled to the afternoon of September 30th because the professor temporarily adjusted the class. Zhou Ruxin, a good boy who never thought of skipping classes, naturally behaved I went to class, and it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon after class, and it would be very late to go home again.Thinking of the long mountain road, Zhou Ruxin thought that if he came home so late, his father would definitely blame him for not knowing how to cherish himself. Well, why should he worry about this since he hasn't seen his father for so long? Just one night.

So she got up early this day, doing the final packing, thinking about taking the bus to the bus station to catch the earliest long-distance bus to go home to spend the holiday with her father.

At that time, Zhou Ruxin was full of ambition and full of ambition. She thought that after she graduated from university, she would find a good school to stay in, work hard, earn more money, and then persuade her father to marry a gentle aunt. She would definitely be filial to her. Father and aunt, let them have a happy old age.

In the same dormitory, some students who did not go home were awakened by Zhou Ruxin's tidying up. Knowing that Zhou Ruxin and her father have always had a deep love for father and daughter, it is natural for them to want to go home early to accompany their father. Talking leisurely, reminding her to hurry up, otherwise she might miss the earliest bus.

When the phone in the dormitory rang, Zhou Ruxin was carrying her backpack and preparing to go out.Even when she heard the phone ringing, she didn't think about stopping.Calling so early in the morning, so positive, probably someone's boyfriend called to invite her.There are six people in the same dormitory, Zhou Ruxin is the only one who doesn't have a boyfriend.

However, the classmate who picked up the phone excitedly was stunned for a moment, and quickly called out, "Ru Xin, it was a male voice who was looking for you."

Zhou Ruxin had already stepped out of the dormitory door, she really didn't want to answer this unknown call.It's just that her father's upbringing over the years has prevented her from acting in spite of herself.So, even if she was in a hurry, Zhou Ruxin had no choice but to answer the phone.There was a very strange man's voice on the phone: "Is Zhou Ruxin? Is Zhou Weizhi your father?"

"I'm Zhou Ruxin, and my father is indeed Zhou Weizhi. May I ask who you are?" Zhou Ruxin asked very carefully.At that time, telecom fraud was not yet prevalent, so Zhou Ruxin did not suspect the intention of the unknown call, nor did she hang up the phone because of it.

"I'm Dr. Li from the County People's Hospital..." The male voice on the opposite side began to speak unhurriedly.

What happened after that phone call?Even after thinking about it for many years, Zhou Ruxin still felt that everything was like a dream, like a distant and unreal dream in the previous life.She couldn't remember how she went to the bus station in a daze, how she got on the minibus to the county seat purely by intuition, and then how she went to the People's Hospital in a mechanical way and found the doctor for her. Doctor Li on the phone.In the small ward of the County People's Hospital, she saw her father who was swollen and unconscious.The long-term depression caused his liver to cirrhosis and swell, and the patience of the countryman allowed him to bear all the discomfort in silence until the disease broke out violently and could no longer be recovered.

and after?It seems to be delayed for a few days.However, his father never woke up. Dr. Li said to Zhou Ruxin: "Take him back, Ye Luo returns to his roots..." Zhou Ruxin nodded numbly, and the uncle who had been with him quietly wiped away his tears and called a few neighbors to help, He carried Zhou's father who was unconscious back home.The old people in the country said that everyone has a time to shine, and Zhou Weizhi felt sorry for his daughter so much, so he must wake up and confess a few words.However, after being with him all night, instead of waiting for his father to wake up instantly, he waited for his father's complete departure.

In the years that followed, Zhou Ruxin always asked her neighbor Haosheng to take care of her few rooms, and her uncle would occasionally go to clean them.Originally, Zhou Ruxin thought that those houses would be the destination of her soul in this life, no matter where she was, as long as those houses were still there, it would be her home.

It's just that I didn't expect that the development of our country's real estate industry is really good. Zhou Ruxin's hometown is really beautiful, and a real estate giant company took a fancy to it at a glance.In the sixth year that Zhou Ruxin came to Huacheng, the whole village of her hometown was expropriated by the real estate company.When Zhou Ruxin went back to visit her uncle at the end of the year, amidst the roar of all kinds of tall excavators, Zhou Ruxin could no longer find her home.
