Wang Yi went to work in a coal mine ten miles from home, and he was 18 years old that year.
Wang Yi's family lives in the mountains, usually no one disciplines him has no interest in going to school, the teacher lectures on it, he sleeps on the table, homework has never been written, and the exam is always the first in the class. The family originally wanted to let him have a good Chinese, but in the second half of the third semester of junior high school, Wang Yi's father was killed in a coal mine permeability accident, and after handling his father's funeral, his mother ran away from home with the compensation money from the coal mine, and all of a sudden there was no news. Originally, the family was still happy and happy, only Wang Yi and his elderly grandfather were left, that year, he was 17 years old, and his grandfather was 66 years old.
Wang Yi's grandfather was old, still sick, and unable to earn money to support his family. He had worked in the coal mine for 12 years, and once he accidentally broke a finger while pushing a cart underground, and the coal mine lost only 50,000 yuan, so he was dismissed.
"Grandpa, I'm not going to school." Wang Yi said to Grandpa.
"What are you doing when you don't go to school?" Grandpa asked Wang Yi back.
"I'm going to earn money and earn money to support you." Wang Yi said it very firmly.
"You're still young, what can you do?"
"Go to the coal mine and dig coal." Wang Yi's father used to be a miner, although he knew that his father worked hard, but he could earn five or six thousand yuan a month, and for the people in the mountains, it was already very good to earn five or six thousand yuan a month.
Grandpa listened to Wang Yi's words, sighed, and didn't say anything more, his son had an accident in the coal mine, and now his grandson is going to work in the coal mine, he is a little reluctant, but helpless. He also knew that Wang Yi also went to school to mix up his life. Since then, Wang Yi has stopped going to school, although the teachers of the school have come to wang yi at home and want him to finish junior high school, but Wang Yi is determined to say that he will not return to school.
The coal mine will go to Wang Yi's village every year to recruit workers, Wang Yi will go to sign up, but when the coal mine recruiters look at his ID card and say no, because he is 3 months away from turning 18 years old, and now he does not meet the age requirements for recruitment. No matter what Wang Yi said, the coal mine recruiters just wouldn't agree to recruit him. He had to go home in sorrow.
During these 3 months, he accompanied his grandfather to herd cattle every day, or helped his grandfather to do farm work in the field. When he just turned 18, he ran to the coal mine to apply, and after a physical examination, Wang Yi successfully entered the job and became a digger.
The coal mine will choose a master for the new employees, forming a mentor-apprentice relationship, that is, at the beginning of the time by the master with the new employees to work, in the process of work the master will tell the apprentice how to do the work, what to pay attention to in the work, the most critical thing to work in the coal mine is safety. Wang Yi is very diligent, his mouth is also very sweet, and the master shouts one by one when he goes down the well, and he will also bring water to the master, sometimes bring a bottle of drink to the master, and from time to time when he is on the ground, he will hand the master a cigarette, so Wang Yi is deeply liked by the master.
"Wang Yi, are you looking for a mother-in-law?" When the well was resting, the master asked Wang Yi.
"I'm so poor that who's going to follow me?" Wang Yi replied with a smile.
"How many people do you have in your family?" The master continued to ask him.
"It's just me and Grandpa." Wang Yi's expression was a little dark.
"What about your parents?"
"Dad died in an accident in the coal mine, and Mom ran away from home." Wang Yi wanted to cry when he said this.
When the master heard Wang Yi's words, he patted his head with his hand and said, "After going to the well today, follow me home." ”
Wang Yi's master had no children, and some people said that two of their children died prematurely. That day Wang Yi's master let his wife cook several dishes, and also drank a bottle of two pots with Wang Yi, and That day Wang Yi was drunk for the first time.
One day, Wang Yigang and his master went to the well, and before they could take a bath, the captain ran over to Wang Yi and said, "Something happened to your grandfather." When Wang Yi heard the captain say this, he couldn't take a shower and rushed home on the motorcycle the captain was looking for. It turned out that grandpa was hit by a coal truck when he went to herd cattle, and by the time Wang arrived home, his grandfather was already breathing. Wang Yi took care of his grandfather's affairs with the help of the villagers and returned to the coal mine.
"Why don't you rest for two more days, why are you in such a hurry to come back?" The master was very distressed about Wang Yi.
"I'm the only one left in the house, so it's better to stay at home than to come to the mine." Wang Yi said the truth, he was the only one left in the family, it was better to go to the mine with more people, and he could temporarily forget those sad things.
"Okay, follow the master to do a good job in the future, earn more money, and find a daughter-in-law in the future." The master comforted Wang Yi.
More than half a year passed, and Wang Yi finally left the school. On the day when the team leader announced his departure, Wang Yi bought a few meat dishes, bought two bottles of good wine, and came to the master's house for a drunken party.
When the next day went out to work, the team arranged for Wang Yi and the master to build a tent, when they just set up the second shed leg, the top of the bracket and the two gangs have not yet been inserted into the back, this time suddenly the top plate to press, the bracket began to tilt.
"No, you have to take the top, run," the master shouted, and got up and ran outside.
The first time Wang Yi encountered such a situation, he was suddenly stunned and a little frightened.
"You, run...", the master turned back, grabbed Wang Yi's arm and pulled it out hard, Wang Yi was pulled out by the master two or three meters at once, but at that moment, the top plate fell, and a large rock hit the master's head.
The master was hit in the head, and although he was rushed to the hospital for rescue, he was not able to rescue him.
Three days later, Wang Yi draped Ma Dai Xiao to send the master to the end.
After that, Wang Yi basically returned to the master's house every day after work, and when he walked to the door of the master's house, he would shout: Mom, I am back.
