Long Island High School

It was one morning more than ten days later that Yu Xing finally realized that his father was really gone.These days, he was in a dream or a nightmare.He and He Qin insisted on going home and not letting others accompany them.They don't need either.

After returning, the two were also busy with their own business.He Qin also went to work, and You Xing also went to school, no different from before.The difference is that both of them are wandering and don't talk much.Because there is no father and husband, no one cooks for the mother and the wife, so they just make do with it.He Qin doesn't have the habit of taking care of children, and often finishes eating by herself only to find out that You Xing didn't come to eat.But she still has leftovers to buy, and she can't care about him anymore.

You Xing is like an unwanted child, hungry and full, but he doesn't know it.At night, He Qin hugged her husband's clothes, as if he was still there.They both thought that the husband or father was just on a business trip, and although he had never been on a business trip, he would definitely come back.You Xing couldn't sleep at night, and he wasn't hungry during the day. Suddenly that morning, he wanted to eat meat buns. In the past, he could eat whatever he wanted, and he didn't have to go out to buy it. Dad could always make meat buns for him.He stood at the door carrying his shoes, because it was too late, so he could only take the meat buns and leave.At this time, Dad always complained to him, hurriedly put his schoolbag on his back, stuffed him with meat buns, and served him a piece of roasted corn.

He stood at the door and shouted to the kitchen, "Dad, I want to eat meat buns!"

He called twice, but no one answered him.

His voice trembled, and he wanted to shout again. He Qin stood in front of him like a skinny and pale ghost in his nightgown with loose hair.

They looked at each other, stood opposite each other, and shed tears silently.

From that day on, He Qin and You Xing changed their relationship inexplicably.He Qin didn't get angry anymore, and You Xing didn't seem to avoid cats and mice anymore.Although He Qin was still rude, she still went home to cook for herself.You Xing was at the side to help, and the two of them frantically cleaned up, making a meal that could make the two of them peel off their skins.

After cooking it, looking at the sumptuous meal, He Qin said, "It's not worse than your dad's."

You Xing said honestly: "It's far from it."

They don't shy away from talking about You Weimin, but they often mention it, as if he is still at home, always between them.Otherwise, they will not be able to bear it all day, and they will not be able to survive the day.

You Xing is usually a bit sour and talented, and he can do some three-line poems. He was confused when he chose liberal arts because he loved a junior high school girl and wrote love poems for her frequently. Later, he stopped admiring and loved to tinker with some gadgets by himself. His father also supported him. Recently, he wanted to learn mechanics more and more, and He Qin scolded him bloody for mentioning a word in this exam.Said he was crazy, and he was in the second half of the second semester of high school, and he wanted to transfer to the science department again.But in his room, the models of airplanes and chariots he made by himself, and the small table lamp he remodeled are all impressive, and his father is adding fuel and vinegar by the side, so He Qin is a little shaken.

After dinner that day, He Qin said: "I promise you to transfer the case, and I will talk to your teacher tomorrow."

You Xing also nodded: "Yeah."

Then with great vigor, within a week, You Xing moved out of their classroom and went to the floor downstairs, Class [-] of the regular class.You Xing became silent and withdrawn, stopped playing around, and did not leave with He Wenzhou.In the past, people were very popular, and they were everyone's pistachio, and they were the souls of them.As soon as he left, the rows behind were much quieter.Everyone also knows about his family.He Wenzhou was in a trance, and seemed to have lost his soul, often lying on the table in a daze.

After school, he went downstairs to wait for You Xing, and found that You Xing was still copying the exercises on the blackboard. He had been studying like this for many days, non-stop from morning to night, and did not eat at noon.He came over and gave You Xing a rice ball, and You Xing wrote while eating, and he would not eat if he didn't give it to you.

He Wenzhou called him, "Let's go."

You Xing didn't turn his head back: "You go first, I haven't finished copying yet."

He Wenzhou was so angry that he went in through the back door and grabbed his collar: "Let's go!"

You Xing turned his head away: "You go, leave me alone."

He Wenzhou said: "How long are you going to be awkward!"

You Xing's eyes were red: "I really didn't finish copying, I will leave after copying."

He Wenzhou couldn't bear to yell at him anymore, so he sat next to him and waited for him to copy, and went home with him after copying.

Song Jing came several times and left his exercise set behind.

Han Lin and Cheng Jiajia couldn't help much, Cheng Jiajia brought a big bag of snacks, Han Lin bit the grass, stayed with You Xing and He Wenzhou, Han Lin even helped You Xing explain two questions.

But none of these can restore You Xing's "decline".

You Xing misses his father very much, misses him very much.It was only when he began to feel that his father was gone, and after many days, he finally realized that his father would never come back.But he couldn't figure it out, couldn't figure out life, couldn't figure out death.

The meaning of death shocked him this time, and it lasted forever, never to be understood.He felt more deeply and more painfully than He Wenzhou.

When the Wenchuan Earthquake broke out, people in the school were panicked, and the general public was outraged, and they felt it in the school.At first, Yu Xing was very indifferent to this, and since that happened, he has been very indifferent to the outside world, because a cosmic explosion is happening in his heart, an explosion that is more serious than earthquakes, tsunamis, and the end of the world. Sky rings.Later, in the third year of high school, a student suddenly failed the college entrance examination and was going to be a volunteer in the front line of Wenchuan!

You Xing seemed to have a flash of inspiration, Buddha touched his head, and followed that senior to go too!The two single-handedly ran to the train station with a travel bag on their backs without telling anyone. He Qin and the others chased them all the way to Jinan before dragging them back.

In the waiting room in Jinan, You Xing squatted on the ground with his arms around a bag, and wolfed down the bread.Seeing them, You Xing opened his mouth, his body was dirty and unsightly.He Wenzhou stared at him until his eyes were bleeding.He Qin didn't have any strength at all, so she just said: "You are going, okay, I will go with you, we will all be volunteers..."

"aunt!"

He Wenzhou grabbed You Xing with one hand and his aunt with the other. They were going to die, they were all going to die!

Zhou Wen drove the family home in a car. Everyone was exhausted and couldn't say anything.

The next day, He Wenzhou dragged You Xing to the playground to talk, and they quarreled, Song Jing, Cheng Jiajia, Han Lin, Gao Yang, including the soft and weak Song Wenyuan, and the submissive Lin Zikai all ran away.

You Xing didn't listen to the persuasion, and just said: "I really want to be a volunteer, I really want to help."

"If you want to die, just go!"

You Xing said: "Why don't you understand, I'm going to save people."

"Who can you save, you save yourself first!"

You Xing suddenly became excited: "Can't I stop saving? If they don't save, then I can't save them? If everyone doesn't save, then wait to see them die? Wait to see him die? "

He Wenzhou stared at him, he stared at He Wenzhou, they both saw the pain in each other's eyes.They didn't save Dad that day, so I can't save others?This is all human life, how precious life is, he only now understands!

He Wenzhou grabbed You Xing and hugged him tightly: "Don't be a volunteer, but we still go to rescue! You take out your old clothes, books, and daily necessities that you don't need. We call on students to donate money, donate Clothes, donated food, we transported all the supplies to Wenchuan, and asked the police uncle there to distribute them. Can you trust the police uncle? If you don’t believe it, we will go to the Public Security Bureau to register!"

Song Jing looked at He Wenzhou holding the little You Xing, You Xing was buried on his shoulder and cried bitterly, while the boy hugged his brother like an adult, protecting him, defending him, comforting him in different ways, and truly understanding and sharing weal and woe That's what You Xing wanted.He looked at He Wenzhou's back, and he didn't expect this prodigal son of the scum of the world to have such a loving and righteous side, he really looked like a hero.

So from Class [-] to Class [-], the students began to donate money and supplies. He Wenzhou, Song Jing, and Cheng Jiajia accompanied You Xing to the Public Security Bureau to register, but they only got praise from the police uncle and a contact number for the donation.

Song Jing brought all the books at home, Cheng Jiajia carried a large pile of her worn and unworn clothes, Han Lin was in charge of shopping for food, You Xing was in charge of collecting money, and Premier He Wenzhou was busy with all the affairs. dizzy.Later, not only the third class and the fifth class, but also the whole grade and the whole school mobilized, those who had money donated money, those who had no money donated supplies, Lin Zikai's family had no money, so he also donated a box of his own comic books.They loaded one car after another vigorously. The local staff thanked them a lot. The school leaders also said that thanking Youxing was initiated by the students. The patriotism, especially the students!

So the staff took You Xing's hand again, shook hands with him like an adult, and touched his head.They took a photo together. When sweeping the grave, You Xing and He Qin put the photo in front of the tombstone. You Xing said: "Dad, I will be fine. Don't worry about me. Mom gave it to me, I grew up .”

He Qin stroked her son's hair and left the cemetery in the rain without saying anything.

After that, Yu Xing never mentioned his father again.He just worked extra hard, because his father was always there, the stars in the sky or the wind and clouds around him were all his father was with him.
