Chapter 12 seventeenth month

Mother's last page and day An Like!The school year is over, and on the day it ends, it is a good thing to leave the impression of a noble boy who would be born for his friends.You are about to say goodbye to your gentlemen and friends, but before I do, I must tell you one sad thing.This farewell is not just a three-month farewell, but a long-lasting one.Due to business matters, my father had to leave this hill and forest to go elsewhere, and his family also had to go with him. As soon as autumn comes, we must leave.You will have to change to a new school in the future.This is really unpleasant to you.You love your old school very much.During these four years you have tasted the joy of studying here twice a day; for a long time, you have to meet the same husband, the same friend, and the parents of the same friend every day; and, you have to see your father or mother here every day Pick you up with a smile.It is here that your spirit is developed, and many friends are acquired here; it is here that you acquire all kinds of useful knowledge.Here, you may have suffered, but these are also good for you.So: You should bid farewell to the public from the bottom of your heart.Among the masses, there are also those who have suffered misfortune, some who have lost their father or mother, some who died young, some who died heroically in war, and many of them are honest and brave laborers. And at the same time, he is the father of a diligent and honest laborer.In it, there may be many people who have made great achievements for the country.So, bid farewell to these many people with your heart, and keep part of your spirit in this big family.You came into the family as a baby, and now you're out a strong young man.Father and mother also love this big family very much because of this big family's love for you.

The school is the mother, An Like.When she took you from my arms, you were barely able to speak, but now that you have been raised into a strong, kind and hardworking young man, you are still returned to me.How can I thank you for this?You must not forget this!How can you forget!When you grow up and travel around the world in the future, you will remember many past events when you encounter metropolises or awe-inspiring monuments.The closed window, the plain white house with its small garden, the building from which your knowledge sprouted, will come to your mind clearly, and as long as you live, I hope you will not forget your birth land!

--Mother four-day test The trial has finally arrived.Around the school, no matter the husband, student, father or brother, they talk about nothing but grades, problems, averages, passing grades, failing grades, and so on.Yesterday I tried composition, and today I tried arithmetic.Seeing the parents of other students telling their sons one by one on the street, they felt even more worried.Some mothers send their sons into the classroom, check for him whether there is ink in the ink bottle, check whether the pen tip is usable, and return to the classroom door and ask: "Careful! Be careful!"

The overseer for our experiment was Mr. Kotti the Blackbeard, the Mr. who has the voice of a lion but does not punish.Some of the students turned blue with fear.The gentleman tore open the envelope sent by the municipal office, took out the test paper, and there was not even a sound of breathing in the audience.Monsieur cast a terrified glance into the room and read the question aloud.We thought: If you can tell us all the questions and answers so that everyone can pass, how much will the gentlemen be happy. The problem is very difficult. After an hour, everyone can't do it anymore.One even wept.Closie tapped her head.There are many people who can't do what they should, because they have little time to be taught, and their parents have never taught and supervised.

But there is no unparalleled road, and Delosi thought of various ways to teach everyone without being seen.Or draw a picture and pass it on or write a formula for people to see, the means are really quick.Cuaron himself was good at arithmetic and also helped him.The proud Nobis couldn't do it anymore today, he just sat properly, which was later taught by Calon. Si Dadi put his head on his fist and focused on the topic for more than an hour. Then he suddenly picked up his pen and finished all the work within five minutes. The gentleman walked around the table and said: "Quietly, quietly! Do it quietly!"

Seeing a student in distress, the teacher opened his mouth wide and pretended to be a lion, in order to induce him to laugh and restore his vitality.At eleven o'clock, I looked out the window and saw the students' parents wandering on the road waiting.Kexi's father, who hadn't come, also came from the ironworks in work clothes with a dark face.Closie's mother, who sells wild vegetables, and Nelly's mother, who is dressed in black, are there. When it was about noon, my father came to visit our classroom window.The experiment ended at noon, and it was a beautiful time to drop out: the parents ran up to their sons, asking questions, looking through notebooks, or comparing themselves with the children nearby.

"How many questions? How many answers? What about the chapter on subtraction? Have you forgotten the decimal point?" The gentlemen were called by the people around them, and they came and went to answer them.Father took the notebook from my hand, looked at it and said: "Okay, okay." Sheleksi's parents were near us, also flipping through his son's notes.He looked puzzled and looked a little panicked.He said to my father: "Excuse me, how much is this total?" Father told him the answer.Knowing that his son's calculation was correct, the blacksmith cheered and said:

"Well done!" The father and the blacksmith faced each other, smiling as if they were friends.Father reached out and took the blacksmith's hand. "Then let's see you at the oral test." The two said when they parted. After walking five or six steps, we heard a high-pitched sound coming from behind. Looking back, it turned out that the blacksmith was singing there. Seven days of final trial Today is the oral test.We entered the classroom at 8:00, and from 8:15, we were called to the lecture hall in groups of four.The large table was covered with a green cloth.The principal sat around with four gentlemen, our gentleman was also inside.I was in the group that was called for the first time.Ah, sir!How Mr. loves us, I just realized today: when other students are speaking nonsensically, Mr. only looks at us; look like.From time to time he tilted his ears and expressed meaning with his hands and head, as if to say:

"Yes! No! Take care! Slowly! Carefully! Carefully!" If the master can speak at this time, he will tell us everything.Even if the student's parents sit here instead of Mr., I'm afraid they can't be as kind as Mr.As soon as I heard another gentleman say to me: "Okay, go back!" His eyes were filled with joy. I immediately went back to the classroom to wait for my father.The classmates were probably all in the classroom, and I was sitting next to Karon, and I felt sad when I thought that this was the last time we met.I haven't told Caron that I will leave Churin with my father. Caron doesn't know it. He is bent on his seat, shaving his head, and writing to decorate the edge of his father's photo.His father was dressed as a mechanic, tall and tall, with the same head as Cuaron, a little shrunken, but his expression was very upright.Caron bowed his head forward, opened the clothes on his chest, revealing the golden cross hanging on his chest.It was what Nelly's mother had given him for her son's protection.I thought I was going to tell Caron about leaving Churin, so I said bluntly:

"Caron, my father is leaving Churin this autumn. My father asked me if I would go, and I told him that I would go with me." "Then, fourth graders can't study together at the same place," Caron said. "No." I replied. Caron was silent, just tilted his head and painted.After a while, he still lowered his head and asked: "Would you remember our third grade friend?" "Of course I remember it. I will never forget it. Especially you. Who can forget you?" I said. Cuarón watched me with an expression capable of expressing a thousand signs without speaking a word.He was still painting with one hand, and stretched out his other hand to me, and I held his big hand tightly.At this time, the gentleman came in with a blushing face, and said happily and hastily:

"That's right, everyone passed. I hope you will answer well in the future. Be careful. I've never been so happy before." He hurried out after he finished speaking, deliberately pretending that he was about to stumble, and attracted us laugh.The gentleman who never smiled suddenly did this, everyone was surprised when they saw it, the room turned into silence, although he was smiling, there was no laughter. For some reason, I was both happy and sad when I saw Mr.'s childish behavior.This momentary gratification is the sir's reward.Such was the reward of these nine months of kindness, patience and sorrow!In order to get this reward, my husband has worked so long, even when the students are sick at home, he has to go to teach them himself.The gentleman who loves us and takes care of us like that only asks for such a small reward. Every time I think of Mr. in the future, what Mr. Mr. looks like today will inevitably come to my mind at the same time.When I grow up, sir, I'm sure he's still alive, and I'll have a chance to meet you.At that time, I remembered the past events in my heart, kissing on the gray hair of my husband. farewell ten days At one o'clock in the afternoon, we gathered at the school again and waited for the results to be announced.The parents of the students were crowded around the school, some were waiting at the door, some entered the classroom, and even the teacher's seat was crowded.Our classrooms and the altar are full of people.Caron's father, Delosi's mother, Pleikosi the blacksmith, Cretti's father, Nelly's mother, Closi's mother—the one who sells wild vegetables, the father of "Little Mason", Obito's father, and many other people I didn't know.The whole room was filled with mixed whispers. As soon as the teacher arrived in the classroom, the room was immediately silent. With the report card in his hand, the teacher read out on the spot: "Sixty-seven for Abatesi, pass. Fifty-five for Alcony, pass." "Little Mason" also passed, and so did Closi. Mr. said loudly again: "Delosi seventy points, pass, first prize." The parents who were present all praised in unison and said: "Amazing, terrific, Delosi." Delosi, with blond hair, smiled and looked at his mother, who raised her hand in greeting. Carlofi, Caron, and Grabria boys all passed the exam, and there were three or four people who failed.One of them wept when he saw his father standing at the door, gesturing to reprimand him.Mr. and his father said: "Don't be like this. It's not all the child's fault that he failed. Most of it is due to misfortune. He is like this." He continued: "Nellie scored sixty-two, a pass." Nelly's mother sends kisses to her son with a fan.Sri Lanka passed with 67 points.Hearing the good grades, he didn't even smile, but still held his head with two fists.And lastly Vatini, who was very well dressed today - and passed the exam.After finishing the report, Mr. stood up: "I meet you in this room. This is the last time. We have been together for a year, and today we are going to part. I feel very sad." Having said this, he paused for a breath, and then said: "During this year, I accidentally lost my temper several times. This is my fault, please blame me." "Where, where!" Parents and students said in unison: "Where! There is nothing that Mr. Mr. continued: "Forgive me. You won't be with me this school year, but you'll see each other. No matter what time it is, you'll always be in my heart. Farewell, boys!" After finishing speaking, the gentleman came to our seat.We stood on the chairs, or stretched out our hands to hold the husband's arm, or held on to the gentleman's skirt, and there were many kisses with the husband.At the end, fifty people said in unison: "Goodbye, sir! Thank you sir! May you be healthy and never forget us!" When I walked out of the classroom, I felt a kind of sadness, as if something was oppressing my chest.Everyone withdrew one after another, and students from other classrooms rushed towards the door like a tide.Students and their parents mingled together, or said goodbye to their husbands, or greeted each other.The lady wearing the red feather was hugged by four or five children, surrounded by the crowd, and could hardly breathe.The children tore Mr. "Nun"'s hat again, and stuffed bouquets of flowers in her black-eyed buttonholes.Lopeti got rid of his crutches on the first day today, and everyone was very happy to see him. "See you, then. See you in the new school year, on October 20." It was heard everywhere. We all greet each other too.At this time, all the unhappiness in the past suddenly subsided, and Pittini, who had always been jealous of Delosi, also stretched his hands to hug Delosi.I say goodbye to "Little Mason". "Little Mason" put on a bunny face for the last time and I kissed him once.I'm going to say good-bye to Poleksi and Carlofi.Carlofi told me that the last lottery would be drawn soon, and sent me a slightly chipped china paperweight.Nelly followed Caron and couldn't part with each other. Everyone was moved by the scene and gathered around Caron. "Goodbye, Caron, I wish you well." Everyone said in unison, some hugged him, some shook his hand, and they all expressed their farewell to this brave and noble boy.Caron's father saw him in a daze. I ended up hugging Caron outside the door, crying against his chest.Caron kissed my forehead.When I ran to my father and mother, my father asked me: "Have you said goodbye to your friends?" I apologized and asked him to forgive me. Do you have such a person?" I replied, "No." "Good-bye, then!" said the father, his voice full of emotion, as he cast a last glance at the school. "Goodbye!" Mother repeated. I couldn't say anything.
