His friend Old Liu Yingnian died early
Yesterday afternoon, I received an unfortunate phone call, my good friend Lao Liu died yesterday morning.
Old Liu was still fine before the New Year, and his body was also great, how did he suddenly die? I couldn't believe it was true.
Lao Liu was born in November 1969, not yet 53 years old, more than seven years before retirement, should be regarded as an early death.
Lao Liu and I have been very good friends and classmates since childhood, Lao Liu is a primary school teacher, a middle school graduate in the late eighties, when he was 18 years old, he was assigned to teach in a rural primary school more than fifty kilometers away from his hometown, and has been working there for more than twenty years.
When he was twenty-three or four years old, he married a local girl, and he also had to do the family's bag production area, he was considered a teacher and a farmer, dressed like a farmer, and his bronze face was like a layer of black and brown watercolor, soft and quiet.
Later, he demolished the village school and merged it into the township central elementary school, where he has been working as a mathematics and art class for two classes, and has been working until the winter vacation last year, because of the heavy curriculum, he has not done the package production area anymore.
Until I joined the work, there was not much time to see each other every year, only during the Spring Festival winter vacation, we met once in our hometown, and we exchanged our feelings during the teaching period, and he always talked about it.
Whenever we talk about poor students, he is the most excited, he said, especially in the nineties of the last century, he helped the most poor students, the most typical is that a child's father is disabled, the mother can not live the hard life of the family and divorce and marry away, this child can not afford to go to school, halfway dropped out of school, it is Lao Liu himself to pull this child back to the classroom, and all the expenses in the school are paid by my friend Lao Liu, this child went to junior high school and high school and college, my friend Lao Liu has been sponsoring. But this child works in the northeast, has no relatives, and does not take the initiative to contact Lao Liu.
When I said to Lao Liu, "This baby is also too ignorant, the teacher has given such great help, but there is no gratitude." ”
However, Lao Liu smiled indifferently and said, "Since we are teachers, we should not talk about returns, as long as he has a good life." ”
I was touched by Lao Liu's dedication, and it was also under his influence that in the 1990s, I also helped many poor students.
Old Liu was not in any strange body before he died, last year on the twenty-fifth day of the New Year we still got together, but also talked about a few years of retirement, he wanted to contract a fishing pond at home, raise some fish, then invite some good friends and good colleagues to fish, while raising a chicken, duck and poultry and the like, please good friends and good colleagues together to "raise wine to invite Mingyue".
However, in just a few days, he passed away and did not live to the day of retirement. There is no sign of his death, a large family is still lively and lively just after the New Year, the second day of the New Year, he is far away from Jiangsu as a criminal police officer son family drove home, the son is busy at work, has not been home for two years, father and son have not seen each other for two years, talk affectionately until after twelve o'clock in the night before going to sleep alone.
Because old Liu usually sleeps like thunder, his wife can not sleep a stable sleep, they often sleep in separate beds, the night of the second year of the first year of their son wants to sleep with the father, his wife is afraid of affecting the son's sleep, alone for the son two to prepare a room, by the grandmother is too affectionate to the little granddaughter, with the little granddaughter to sleep together.
It may be that old Liu saw his son come back, too excited, slept late, after seven o'clock in the morning of the third day of the first year, his son asked him to eat breakfast, but no one woke him up again.
I heard that old Liu usually gets up very early, gets up and gets busy, but today is abnormal, and he sleeps forever.
Fortunately, the old Liu family was well-connected, and although the children were very sad after hearing this news, they all helped to prepare for the aftermath, and soon invited those who chanted the scriptures, invited those who made the spiritual house, and also bought a large coffin. According to the regulations, the body should have been cremated after the death of the staff of the work unit, but his wife resolutely did not agree to the cremation and had to be buried, so everyone had to agree with the opinion of the sister-in-law and bury the body of his friend Lao Liu.
Relatives and friends from all over the world came to mourn the old cattle who had quietly dedicated themselves in the countryside for more than thirty years.
Good friend Lao Liu, all the way!
