The classroom was very quiet, with only the sound of the teacher's unhurried lectures. The students were all taking notes and looking attentive.
"What happened to you today?" Ji Yue looked at Su Qingyun and finally couldn't help but ask her.
As soon as he came this morning, he was keenly aware that something was wrong with Su Qingyun's mood. In the past classes, she would write, draw, and do calculations. During the class period, although she didn't pay much attention to the class, she was not idle either. But from this morning till now, she has been in a daze state, and she glances out the window from time to time, looking as if she is distracted and has lost her soul.
What happened to her?
"Huh?" Su Qingyun came back to her senses and looked at Ji Yue, who looked worried, "It's nothing, I just didn't sleep well last night."
There was something on her mind and she almost didn't sleep all night last night.
Su Qingyun glanced at the clock on the wall. It was already half past three. She pursed her lips and said, soon, soon, that time is coming.
Ji Yue frowned and looked at her, but did not continue to ask.
Su Qingyun looked at the time without blinking. Finally, at a little after four o'clock in the afternoon, when all the classrooms in the middle school in the town were in class, the only radio in the campus suddenly rang, interrupting the teachers' lectures.
"Teachers and students in the school, please suspend class. Please suspend class. We are reporting a major news." The heavy voice of the principal of the town middle school rang out.
Su Qingyun closed her eyes and came.
All the teachers and students fell silent, listening to the principal reading word for word on the radio. If you listened carefully, you could find that his voice was choked with sobs.
"Today at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, after being notified by the National Radio Station, all departments across the country jointly issued the "Message to the Whole Party, the Whole Military and the People of All Nationalities," deeply announcing that our country's great leader died at 0:00 on September 9, 1976, Beijing time. Shifen passed away in Beijing due to illness at the age of 83. When he passed away, heaven and earth mourned, and all living things mourned."
"We will always remember and praise his great achievements in his revolutionary career, which will always shine in the annals of history. He dedicated his life to the Chinese people. He is a great patriot and national hero, and his glory will shine forever. As we move forward, history and the people will always remember him!"
The principal's two-hundred-word notice was spoken intermittently on the radio. He lost his voice several times due to choking and could hardly speak a sentence.
The principal held on and repeated it three times.
There was silence in the huge campus. You could even hear the wind blowing through the fallen leaves. All the teachers and students in the school stood there, their mechanical brains struggling to function and unable to respond to the words on the radio.
The scorching sun outside the window suddenly retreated into the clouds, and the sky suddenly darkened, as if everyone's hearts were covered with a layer of gloom at this moment.
how could be? Why did he leave so suddenly? Shouldn't a great man like him live a long life? He should be like the sun over there, always shining on them!
Everyone didn't respond for a long time. I don't know how long it took. Suddenly there was a slight sobbing sound, and then the sound got louder and louder. More and more people were crying. Soon, the whole campus was filled with extremely painful sounds. The cry, the grief and shock in the cry can be clearly seen.
Su Qingyun sat among the cries, her eyes gradually became moist, and she shed tears. Although she had been mentally prepared for a long time, at this moment, she still sympathized with everyone in this era, and had sympathy for the great man of this generation. It hurts to pass away.
For her in her previous life, this might just be a major event in history. If she hadn't experienced it personally, she wouldn't know what it would be like to be in this situation.
Su Qingyun finally understood that even if the butterfly flaps its wings, the historical process will continue to move forward, and she cannot change any direction.
The boulder in the torrent of history finally hit her, a butterfly that suddenly broke in. The strong tremor made her weightless, and her soul was numb from head to toe.
Ji Yue's eyes were also red. He turned his head to look at Su Qingyun, who was stunned. He suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart. He didn't know why, but he always felt that Qingyun seemed to have expected something.
No, no, no, it's impossible. Who can predict life and death? Ji Yue felt that his guess was a bit too ridiculous, and soon the idea disappeared without a trace.
This scene in the town middle school is happening all over the country at this moment, and the whole country is crying.
After such a big event, there were no classes at school. Su Qingyun and Xia Qiu were walking home. The town government car broadcast the sad news in the streets and alleys, and they could not stop crying.
The two of them didn't speak a word all the way back to the village in silence.
During the busy farming season, work should have ended at this time, but not a single soul was seen in the village. A heavy atmosphere enveloped the entire village, making people breathless.
Su Qingyun understood that the news had also spread to the village.
When she returned home, she only saw the family sitting at the table in a daze. There were food on the table, but no one moved. Everyone was crying silently.
Seeing Su Qingyun entering the door, Wu Guixiang raised her eyes that were swollen from crying and said reluctantly: "Bao, are you back? Come and have dinner."
The family seemed to have just come to their senses. They quickly wiped away their tears, picked up their chopsticks, and picked up their rice bowls, but the sadness on their faces was still clearly visible.
"Let's eat, everyone." Wu Guixiang greeted everyone feebly.
Everyone started to move in silence and mechanically, picking up the food in silence. No one spoke, and a dull atmosphere spread in the room.
"Woo..." As she was eating, Zhang Xinlan whimpered and lowered her head. Tears had already poured into the rice. She put the bowl on the table. She couldn't hold it in any longer and cried loudly, "What do you mean? , Why does God want to take him away when he is the best person in the world?"
Zhang Xinlan has no education, and she doesn’t understand any important matters of family and country. She only knows that if it weren’t for that person, they wouldn’t have the life they have now, and everything they have now. Such a good person should live for thousands of years, God Why are you so blind?
Her crying caused a chain reaction, and everyone shed tears again. There were heart-wrenching cries in the house, and it was impossible to eat anymore.
Su Qingyun looked at everyone's sad faces and felt a sore nose. If she hadn't come to this era, decades later, young people living in a peaceful and prosperous age might not be able to imagine how much people in this era admired great men.
The death of a great man affects too many people. He is not only the leader of this country, but also the most respected person in the hearts of countless people. When he leaves, he also takes away a trace of their souls.
