As the school day approaches, Xiaoxi's heart is in a hurry and panic every day.

Xiaoxi still clearly remembers all the things that happened on September 1st in 2005.

That day was the day when Xiaoxi went to the village to register for school. Grandpa Chen packed all his things the night before. Early that morning, Ergu rented a motorcycle to load it with Xiaoxi's boxes and bedding rolls, and carried Xiaoxi to go to the village with her.

As soon as he arrived at the place, Chen Cui quickly took Xiaoxi to register, but there were too many people. He asked the teacher clearly and took Xiaoxi to the dormitory to make the bed first.

The dormitories in the school are basically in the inner courtyard. As soon as you enter the door, the house on the right side is Xiaoxi and their dormitories.

A big room with dozens of iron beds squeezed nearly a hundred female students in the fourth and fifth grades together. As soon as Xiaoxi and the others entered, they saw that most of the beds were laid, which were the girls from this school and some of them who came early.

Because the stream was fully prepared and there was nothing to be afraid of, he occupied a bed as soon as he entered, so Chen Cui quickly helped the stream make the bed.

"Second woman, let Xiaoxi sleep with our Pu Xiaoli." It turned out that Pu Xiaoli's mother brought her over. Because they were a little late, they couldn't find a good bed. She only brought a quilt, and the school planned to sleep with two people in one bed.

Seeing an acquaintance, Chen Cui tidied up the bed and paused her hands. He heard that she wanted to sleep with Xiaoxi. Thinking of Xiaoxi and her classmates for so many years, and they were all on the same team, she thought about it and asked Xiaoxi beside her: "Xiaoxi, can you sleep with Pu Xiaoli in the same bed, okay?"

In fact, she wanted to sleep in a bed alone, but she didn't know how to refuse, so she nodded slowly.

In fact, when Xiaoxi thought of her decision, she really regretted her death. Because Pu Xiaoli was tall and thin, one head taller than her, they were in the same shop, and Xiaoxi was often "bullied" by her.

She had long hands and feet, and she was a little unhonest when she was sleeping, so she accidentally stuck her feet at the mouth of the stream. And the most disgusting thing was that later, it was hot in summer and she couldn't stand the cover, so she rolled up the bed at night. She had to put the quilt next to the stream pillow, and her feet were on the quilt. The quilt belonged to the stream, which happened to be a little clean, so she said that she would put the quilt next to her pillow. This was a good thing. Xiaoxi said, she didn't agree, so she had to put it under her head when she was sleeping at night. But when she was taking a nap at noon, she moved the quilt over and supported it under her head. What was going on?

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is bullying Xiaoxi to be timid. Really, Xiaoxi was so brave when he was a child. It was not until later that he went to high school and college that he gradually improved. He saw that there were more people, his vision was broader, and once he was confident, he became more courageous.

The few people quickly packed up the bed, sat down and set up the dragon gate formation for a while, and then they separated.

Seeing that the registration office was still crowded, Chen Cui took Xiaoxi to her third brother's house for dinner, which was living in the field in the village.

When I went there, I welcomed Xiaoxi very enthusiastically. Their granddaughter is the same age as Xiaoxi, and happens to have the same surname as Xiaoxi, whose name is Chen Lan, and is also in the fifth grade this year.

After dinner, I took a short rest. Chen Cui was about to leave. My family repeatedly tried to keep him, so I said to my mother-in-law: "There are too many people who signed up this morning. I have to go and register my name while there are fewer people."

After saying this, it is important to register a child, so I don’t say anything more. I just repeatedly told you to say “I must come and play when I have time”.

After walking back for a while, Chen Cui suddenly thought that classes would start tomorrow, so she said to Xiaoxi: "Xiaoxi, you might as well not go back tonight. Anyway, you will have class early tomorrow morning, so you will go to Xiaolan's house to sleep for one night tonight." She didn't even think about letting Xiaoxi stay in school. After all, she had met Xiaolan a few times and was considered an acquaintance.

Xiaoxi refused without thinking. Chen Cui wanted to persuade her for a few more words, but the school arrived and quickly took Xiaoxi to the inner courtyard. Everyone had dinner now, and there were only a few people in the registration office.

After signing up, the teacher reminded me to start class at 8 a.m. tomorrow. After leaving the school gate, Chen Cui once again told Xiaoxi not to go back. It was rare to run tomorrow morning, but Xiaoxi still refused to do it.

First, I am not used to living in other people's homes, second, I miss my grandparents, after all, I go home every other week, and third, I feel very panicked and a little irritated, just want to go home. No matter what Chen Cui said, Xiaoxi just shook his head and said, "I want to go home."

Until later, Chen Cui's mouth was dry and Xiaoxi said in a crying voice, "I want to go home." There was no choice but to bring this "little oil bottle" back.

"Hey, you woman, don't listen to me any more. Hey, forget it, oh." He had to rent a motorcycle and the two of them went home.

After going up the slope, turn two more turns and you're home.

An old lady carried a hoe and walked towards Xiaoxi and their motorcycles. "Second woman, why did you come back? Go back and see, your nephew has been drowned..."

Because the motorcycle was driving, the old lady's words were a little unclear. The driver didn't seem to hear it, nor did he stop the car to ask clearly.

What, impossible, is a joke, must be it. Chen Cui's sob came from behind, as if urging the master to hurry up. Listening to the second aunt's sniff, Xiaoxi didn't even have a tear at this moment, nor did he want to cry, but his head was empty and he was just repeating one sentence, "This is a joke."

But after a two-minute drive, Xiaoxi felt that it had been a long time since they got out of the car. In fact, before they got home, the driver stopped on the road below Xiaoxi's yard.

From a distance, the stream saw a mat on the millstone in the vegetable field, covering something with a blanket, bulging and surrounded by many people. The eyes that had been empty for a long time suddenly squeezed into tears, and it was so sour. It seemed that I couldn't accept so much, so I fell out one after another.

After crying silently for a while, Xiaoxi gradually heard the sound outside. The second aunt was already crying hoarsely.

If a child dies, he cannot park at home. It is probably a custom, just like a child dies and does not have to build a grave and has to be buried in a small piece of soil.

Xiaoxi looked at the ball of blankets tightly wrapped in her own field. She was smiling and saying goodbye to herself when she left in the morning, but now she was lying there so lifelessly and was watched by everyone. Xiaoxi couldn't believe it. But as soon as the second aunt came back, she rushed over to see it. From her expression (Xixi could no longer hear the crying, and her world was silent at that time), Xiaoxi had to believe it.

"Little Stream, let's go back." Chen Cui pulled up the stream that was obviously lost on the ground and walked home.

When she got home, the bedroom was standing or sitting full of people. Grandma Chen leaned on the lounge chair with her eyes closed, and the doctor was giving infusion.

Grandpa Chen saw his second daughter with red and swollen eyes coming in with Xiaoxi, and quickly pulled the godless stream to sit beside him. He was shocked and thought that his grandson who had just died, this granddaughter must not have anything to do. So he hugged Xiaoxi and shook it.

Xiaoxi came to his senses, looked at his grandfather, and cried out "wow". Grandpa Chen felt much more relieved when he saw her crying. Thinking of her good grandson, he also started crying, which made everyone in the house help persuade the two grandsons.

After crying for a while, Xiaoxi gradually stopped the sound. Grandpa Chen took out a box of yogurt from the cardboard box under the writing desk, inserted it into a straw, and handed it to Xiaoxi.

Listening to the sobs in his ears, Grandpa Chen tried hard to suppress his heartache and told the people who came to mourn the cause of his grandson's death.

"Today, the second brother took Xiaoxi to the village to register. The eldest woman and the third brother came back to help me pick peanuts... After lunch, I boiled hot water to bathe Binbin. As a result, Hongwazi and Weiwazi led the dog to tell him to take a bath in the pond... The first thing he said was that he wanted to go, but I didn't let him go, and the second man came again, and he didn't let him go... As a result, the eldest woman said that the dog was gone (Xi's house has a wolf dog, which was caught from Chen Ping's house. Chen Yubin would take it with him as long as he went to the pond to bathe). He wanted to say it was broken, so he went to the pond to bathe... As a result, before the peanuts were picked, Hongwazi ran back and said that Binbin was gone..."

Oh... something happened when I went to take a shower with Chen Yuhong and the others. Xiaoxi really hated the two brothers at this moment. He wanted to tell me why you had to take your younger brother to take a shower. Although the direct reason was not the two of them, the indirect reason was them.

At this time, another voice sounded again, "I heard outside shouting "Xingwazi" at the front of the house. I said that Jiang Wan's Xingwazi has been here for a long time, but I didn't pay attention. I was shouting again for a while, so I went out to take a look... As soon as I came out, I heard that he was shouting "Binwazi" in the Yantang, so I ran over and saw that Hongwazi and two were looking for Binwazi in the Yantang. When I thought about it, they heard them say that Binwazi was taking a bath in the Yantang, but it disappeared. I quickly took off my clothes and went in to look for it. Oh, the result..." It was the eldest son of the Chen family. He picked up Chen Yubin, and his house was close to the Yantang.

Hearing this, Xiaoxi thought to herself, why didn’t you come out earlier? If you came out after hearing the first sound, maybe my brother could be saved... But, it was too late. Thinking of my brother’s past, Xiaoxi couldn’t help crying again.

Time will make people forget everything. Grandma Chen cried every day from the beginning, saying, "If my good grandson is still there, it will be like this. It's a pity that my good grandson is such a good grandson." After a few days and weeks, in the end, Xiaoxi thought she had forgotten it, but she went to Xiaoxi to go to college. One night, Grandma Chen sat in front of the stove and suddenly said, "If my good grandson is still there, I will go to college." At that time, Xiaoxi almost burst into tears. Xiaoxi hurriedly held it in, turned around, pretending not to hear it.

There is also Grandpa Chen, who has never mentioned him since Chen Yubin was buried. Xiaoxi knew his pain.

Every year, I have to burn paper for the dead a few days before the Chinese New Year. I went to the cemetery to burn paper money for my ancestors and left the bamboo forest. Grandpa Chen said to Xiaoxi: "Xiaoxi, you go back first."

Knowing that my grandfather didn't want him to follow him, he turned around and walked home without saying anything.

After turning the corner, Xiaoxi looked back secretly until he was sure that his grandfather could not see it. Grandpa Chen staggered to walk on the ground with a knife in his hand.

Xiaoxi knew that grandpa was going to burn paper for his younger brother. For them, they could not set up graves for children, so they could not burn paper and set off firecrackers. Grandpa Chen was afraid that the child would have no money to use when he went to the underworld (in their case, the paper money was burned to the dead, saying that he would take it to the underworld for use). After burning the paper for his ancestors, he would bring some paper to see his grandson and tell him about his heart's pain.

It was not until Xiaoxi was about to graduate from high school later that Xiaoxi learned about the place where his younger brother was buried.
