June 7th, the first day of the college entrance examination. Huang Tao took a leave of absence to send his daughter Huang Jiayan to the examination room. He made an appointment with his daughter to take her home after the examination and make dumplings for her.

On his way to buy groceries, Huang Tao was killed on the spot when a steel pipe fell from the sky. Her lover Ran Hongxia stroked her husband's cold body and cried hard, but her daughter was still taking the college entrance examination, and she still needed a father who loved her. She wiped away her tears, left her husband lying on the scene, tried her best to pretend to be calm, and went to the school gate to pick up her daughter who walked out of the examination room...

Dad drew a smiling face on the small blackboard at home

Huang Jiayan is 18 years old this year and is a senior high school student in Fuling District Experimental Middle School. Her 44-year-old father, Huang Tao, is a middle cadre of the Fuling District Telecommunications Bureau, and her mother, Ran Hongxia, is also an employee of the Telecommunications Bureau. In order to accompany Jiayan well in the college entrance examination, Huang Tao and Ran Hongxia specially asked for work leave.

Jiayan is a sensible child. One night before the college entrance examination, Huang Tao, who rarely drank, went out to attend a social event that he couldn't refuse. He came home smelling of alcohol. His daughter Jiayan was so distressed that she shed tears and even dialed the number of her father's colleague: "Uncle, Why did you let my father get drunk? He clearly knew that I was about to take the college entrance examination and he wanted to take care of me." A few days before the college entrance examination, my father wrote on the small blackboard at home in order to relieve his daughter's stress. Here’s a sentence: Treat everything calmly! There is also a winning smiley face drawn below.

On the wall behind the desk, Jiayan wrote her college entrance examination goal "Zhejiang University", and also wrote an English sentence on it: Love makes me strong (Editor's note: It means love makes me strong).

Dad made a promise to his daughter before the exam that no matter how her daughter did in the exam, he would take time to travel with her after the exam.

"When you finish the exam, dad will pick you up and make dumplings for you at noon."

On the morning of June 7, parents prepared Jiayan’s favorite kelp ribs very early. Soup, salted duck eggs, rice dumplings and stuffed steamed buns. After breakfast, Huang Tao and Ran Hongxia drove their daughter to Fuling No. 5 Middle School to take the exam.

When Huang Tao sent his daughter into the examination room, he made a promise with Jiayan: "Take the exam well. When you finish the exam, dad will pick you up and make dumplings for you at noon!" Jiayan turned around and reported to her dad. With a knowing smile.

Afterwards, Huang Tao and his wife returned to Xinyuan Community, parked their car in the community parking lot, and went to buy dumpling wrappers and yellow wax cubes for their daughter without even returning home. The couple knows that their daughter likes to eat dumplings and spicy yellow spicy dices. The couple discussed going to the Fourth Ring Road market to buy fresh food and make a sumptuous lunch for their daughter.

The surveillance video at the time of the incident showed that the parking lot of Huang Tao's community was much lower than Taiji Avenue. Huang Tao and his wife had to climb dozens of steps to reach Taiji Avenue. Huang Tao walked on the right, and his wife walked on the left. The couple slowly walked up the steps towards Taiji Avenue. When going up the steps, Huang Tao also put his hands behind his back, and his wife rummaged through her purse as she walked, as if preparing money to buy groceries. When the couple reached the second platform on the steps, a steel pipe suddenly flew out and hit Huang Tao. Huang Tao immediately fell to the ground, rolled down 10 steps, and lay on the ground. Ran Hongxia panicked, knelt beside her husband, shook her husband, and held her head tightly with both hands.

My daughter cried and complained that "Dad didn't keep his word"

"My sister is very strong. She wiped away her tears and went to pick up the baby. Her heart was bleeding and she had to put on a smile!" Ran Hongxia said my sister Ran Yanhong.

After finishing the first subject test at noon, Ran Hongxia tried her best to put on a smile and picked up her daughter at the school gate. "Why didn't dad come?" Jiayan asked her mother without seeing her dad. Ran Hongxia told her daughter the lie she had made up in advance: her father received a temporary notice from his work unit and was on a business trip. He was going to another place for two days of closed training.

When Jiayan heard this, she cried.

"Dad doesn't keep his word. Dad has always attached great importance to my study. At such an important time, he went on a business trip again. Didn't he ask for work leave? Why does the company still send him for training?" Jiayan also shouted that she wanted to pay The leader of my father's work unit called: "Don't the leader's daughters take the college entrance examination? Why do they send dad on a business trip? I want to ask them!"

Ran Hongxia endured her grief, pretended to make the call and then hung up. , saying that the call could not be reached, he finally deceived his daughter. Later, Ran Hongxia took her daughter to a hotel near the school. Jiayan asked again: "Why don't you go home?" Her mother said calmly: "There is a construction site over there, which is very noisy. Besides, there is no water and gas there today, so we can't cook!" Because Ran Hongxia tried her best to pretend to be calm. His expression finally deceived his daughter for the time being.

After sending her daughter off, she returned to her cold husband

At noon on the 7th, Ran Hongxia had lunch with her daughter at the hotel and then sent her daughter to the examination room. After witnessing her daughter walking into the examination room, Ran Hongxia turned her back. She could no longer control her grief and burst into tears. After 2 o'clock in the afternoon that day, Ran Hongxia returned to the scene of the incident. Her cold husband was still lying here. After she had fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother, she had to return to the scene to fulfill her responsibilities as a wife.

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, sister Ran Yanhong met her sister Ran Hongxia. She cried and persuaded her sister: "Second sister, you don't have time to be sad now. You are facing Jiayan and her brother-in-law. You must be strong!" Ran Hongxia nodded calmly. But she knew, "Second Sister's heart is actually bleeding!"

At almost 5 o'clock in the afternoon, when Ran Hongxia watched her husband's body being sent to the funeral home, she wiped away her tears and left quietly. Got here. A few minutes later, she appeared with a calm face among the crowd of parents waiting for the college entrance examination students in Fuling No. 5 Middle School.

"Dad" sent a text message: Yao'er, dad needs closed training for two days, I'm sorry

Huang Tao's twin brother Huang Bo was originally going to go on a business trip that day. After his younger brother Huang Tao's accident, He canceled the ticket.

That morning, Huang Bo was going to use his younger brother Huang Tao's mobile phone to send a text message to Jiayan in his younger brother's voice, explaining to Jiayan that he was going on a business trip and asking Jiayan to forgive her and do well in the exam.

However, Huang Bo is also very conflicted. "I didn't dare send it at the time because I was afraid that after I sent it, Jiayan would call me. If she called me and could hear my voice, what should I do if she wanted to call her dad to answer the phone?"

That afternoon, in order to cooperate with his sister-in-law Ran Hongxia and hide it from Jiayan, Huang Bo used his younger brother Huang Tao's mobile phone and sent a text message to Jiayan in Huang Tao's tone: Yao'er, dad needs closed training for two days. I'm sorry. I can’t accompany you, so I wish you success in the exam, come on!

The mother hid in bed and cried, "Watching my daughter sleeping, how lonely I am."

It was not only Huang Tao's relatives but also Jiayan who helped Ran Hongxia tell this white lie. teachers and classmates. Teacher Liu, the head teacher of the same grade as Jiayan, told us that that morning, Fuling Experimental Middle School where Jiayan was located knew that a person was killed on the Fourth Ring Road. When the teachers knew that the deceased's daughter was a student in their school and was taking the college entrance examination, everyone stopped talking about it, fearing that it would spread to Jiayan's ears. The school teacher also specifically informed the students not to spread this matter so as not to let Jiayan know about it.

On the evening of June 7, all the students in Class 10, Grade 3, where Jiayan belongs, were supposed to go to school for evening self-study, and the teacher wanted to explain the precautions for the exam the next day. But the teacher and Jiayan’s mother considered that if Jiayan went to study at night, it would be easy for her classmates to notice something strange. After discussion, we decided to make up another white lie. The head teacher Chen Zhengliang personally called Jiayan and said that in order to let the candidates have a good rest, the evening self-study was cancelled.

That night, Teacher Chen accompanied Jiayan to collect books and then ran to the hotel. At that time, when she saw Teacher Chen, Jiayan complained to the teacher: "Dad didn't keep his word. He promised to accompany me in the college entrance examination, and then went on a business trip!"

On the evening of June 7, her mother accompanied her all the time. Beside Jiayan. But after 8 o'clock in the evening, Jiayan suddenly said, "Mom, I feel like I have a cold, and I want to buy some medicine!" Ran Hongxia panicked because she was worried that her daughter would hear talk about her father on the street after she went out.

She quickly calmed down and decided to accompany her daughter to buy medicine. However, at the door of the pharmacy, what my mother was worried about finally happened. Several residents were talking about a parent on Huancheng Road who was stoned to death after sending his child to take the college entrance examination. "Mom, do you know about this?" Ran Hongxia almost burst into tears when she heard this. She tried to control her emotions and said calmly: "I don't know, maybe it's not about our line over there!" Jiayan didn't Ask again. The mother noticed that her daughter's mood had changed.

After returning to the hotel room, Jiayan suddenly said, "Mom, I'm not in the mood at all. I want to repeat my studies." Her mother could only say calmly: "Just repeat your studies, but tomorrow's two subjects You still have to do well in the exam."

Jiayan can no longer read books. She wants to go online. The mother became nervous again because she was worried that her daughter would learn the truth from the Internet. My mother was so anxious that she moved out the class teacher, Mr. Chen. "Teacher Chen said you can't go online before the exam." After hearing this, Jiayan did not insist.

Jiayan turned on the TV again. Afterwards, the mother told us that she was extremely nervous at that moment. Instead of grabbing her daughter's remote control, she had to stare at the screen for fear that her daughter would see the local news station. Jiayan's mood began to change. After changing a few channels in her room, she ran to another place and turned on the TV. Mom followed close behind. Suddenly, Jiayan asked her mother: "Why are you following me? Are you afraid that I will commit suicide?"

After 10 o'clock in the evening, her mother finally persuaded Jiayan to go to bed and fall asleep. The mother and Jiayan slept in the same bed. The mother was worried that her daughter would not be able to sleep, so she kept lying in the same sleeping position. "I didn't dare to move because I was afraid that my daughter wouldn't be able to sleep." After a long time, her mother thought that Jiayan was asleep, so she quietly got up and took another quilt. She lay quietly on the bed, turned her back quietly to her daughter, and wet the sheets with her tears.

That night, Ran Hongxia stayed up all night. As she lay in bed, her husband and daughter appeared in her mind in turn.

Afterwards, Ran Hongxia told us, "You don't know how lonely I felt watching my daughter fall asleep!"

The mother's inner struggle:

Can my daughter face the loss? Father

After 8 o'clock yesterday morning, Ran Hongxia sent Jiayan to the examination room with a smile on her face just like the day before yesterday. The moment her daughter walked into the examination room, she did not forget to encourage her: Take the exam well, and mommy will pick you up!

Later, Ran Hongxia came to the funeral parlor again. At the door of the funeral home, Ran Hongxia saw her husband's twin brother Huang Bo and burst into tears. "Huang Tao is not dead, you lied to me!" Xiao Liu, a colleague who helped her, told us afterwards, "Sister Ran pretended to smile at her daughter's house, but when she arrived at the funeral parlor, she was paralyzed and in a trance. When she saw the yellow faces of the twins, "Bo, I think of my husband!"

Colleagues did not dare to let Ran Hongxia see her husband in the ice coffin, so they helped her walk in the garden. In the garden, Ran Hongxia, who was pretending to smile in front of her daughter, could no longer control her inner sorrow. "To be honest, I don't know how I survived yesterday!"

In the garden , Ran Hongxia received a call from teacher Jiayan. The teacher suggested that after passing the foreign language test in the afternoon, she could no longer hide Jiayan. Ran Hongxia said: "My daughter is only 18 years old. How can she bear the loss of her father!"

It was almost 11 noon, and Ran Hongxia wanted to take a look at her husband's body again. Colleague Xiao Liu persuaded: "Sister Ran, you can't watch it now. If you insist, you still have to pick up your daughter." Hearing this, Ran Hongxia stopped crying. I took a colleague’s car and rushed to the examination room.

"Dad, Dad, you said you would pick me up, why did you leave..."

At almost 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon, after painful suffering, Ran Hongxia decided, When her daughter finished her English test in the afternoon, she would pick her up in person and tell her daughter the news of her father's unfortunate death.

"Second sister, you don't want to go in the afternoon, we can just pick up Jiayan!" Third sister Ran Yanhong was worried that after Jiayan knew the truth, both mother and daughter would not be able to bear it. However, Ran Hongxia rejected her sister's kindness and insisted on picking up her daughter in person. "I'm going to pick up my daughter. In the past two days, whenever I see my daughter, I put on a smile and feel energetic!"

After 5 p.m., Jiayan finished her English test.

When Jiayan was picked up by her mother, she saw a car full of people in the car. Jiayan asked: "I just want you to tell the truth!" Ran Hongyan hugged her daughter into her arms, "Jiayan, mommy will take you to see daddy!"

Jiayan "Wow" She burst into tears, tearing the hearts of everyone present...

After 6 p.m., Jiayan came to her father’s coffin and couldn’t kneel down, “Dad, Dad, you said it” Pick me up, why are you leaving, Jiayan is here, wake up..." The third aunt handed her a tissue, but she didn't take it, she covered her face with her hands and cried bitterly. The huge mourning hall fell silent, and there were sobs in the crowd. After a while, Huang Bo walked to his niece and wanted to persuade Jiayan to rest. Jiayan pushed her away: Let me go! I want daddy! Then he collapsed on the ground again.

Jiayan was finally persuaded to sit on the sofa. In grief, she suddenly shouted: Mom! Mother!

On the way to the funeral home, Jiayan told us that in fact, she had a premonition that something happened to her father on the night of the 7th, but when she saw her mother’s smiling face, she couldn’t bear to force her mother to tell the truth.

At the funeral home, Ran Hongxia called her sister over and warned her: "You must tell Jiayan that your father is gone and you must be stronger for your mother!" After saying this, she did not dare to look at her daughter and turned around. Go away
