On the day when the college entrance examination was released, most students came, no matter far or near. Everyone is around the big red list posted on the gate, looking for their names carefully. 536 points, Liu Yanjun saw his score. According to the admission scores of previous years, Northeast Normal University, the first choice, is basically hopeless and can only count on the second choice. Liu Yanjun searched the crowd for Guo Xiaomin, but couldn't find him. Guo Xiaomin's score is 480. It seems that she really gave up. It is difficult for her to get into a junior college. "Yan Jun, 536 points is not your ideal result, but admitted to the undergraduate course is certainly no problem. I can take this score to find a specialist. " Wang Xiaogang scored 504 points and said to Liu Yanjun with some disappointment.
Jiang Zhihua scored 6 10, Zheng Hongmei scored 606 and Lily scored 583. Seeing the scores of these students, Liu Yanjun felt very uncomfortable. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have done so badly in the exam and Xiao Min wouldn't have given up. Maybe in the near future, Xiao Min and I will come to the same city and build their bright future together.
"Students, don't leave at noon. Come to my house for dinner. " Monitor Li Dawei shouted in the crowd.
"Yes, yes!" The students cheered. The monitor came to his house with more than twenty classmates. A spacious yard, with flowers and grass, fruits and vegetables, is full of fragrance. The monitor's parents warmly greeted everyone and asked the monitor to buy wine and vegetables at once. After a while, the squad leader and Zhu bought fish, vegetables, liquor and beer. Zhang and other female students are helping the monitor's parents cook in the kitchen. Male students are eating melon seeds in the living room, chatting about their scores, and which one did well in the exam and which one can be admitted to which university.
Students didn't drink much before, but now they have finished their three-year high school life and are about to bid farewell to an era of youth. They will be separated from their classmates who live together day and night. At this special moment, the male students put down their reserve, and the female students frequently raised their glasses and drank. All the parting and nostalgia for youth were integrated into the wine and put into their hearts. The students laughed and raised their glasses to say goodbye. At this moment, the beautiful friendship sublimated and the bad feelings in their hearts vanished.
The monitor took a bottle and drank it with everyone. And has been drinking rickety, jade holding a bottle around looking for classmates to drink. Liu Yanjun and Wang Xiaogang are already drunk.
"In this scene today, it's a pity that two people are missing. If Zhimin were here, we would like this wine better. It's all my fault. This should be Zhimin, not me. " Liu Yanjun said as he looked up and took a swig of beer.
"Yan Jun, everything has happened, and nothing can be changed. Whatever the outcome, accept it. Let go of the knot, only by taking the road ahead is the best explanation for everyone. " Wang Xiaogang suggested Liu Yanjun.
"Yes, I understand, but I just can't let go. I can't untie it. Hey! " Liu Yanjun sighed, full of sadness.
Show-Zhang Ling a little drunk, carrying a bottle, completely regardless of their usual majestic image, came to the monitor, "David, let's have a drink. I hope this is not the last time we drink, and I hope we can keep in touch often in the future. No matter where I am in your heart, your position in my heart will never change. Regardless of the outcome, at least I paid my heart, although I didn't get a return. "
The monitor and Zhang touched the beer bottle, looked up and almost gulped down a bottle of wine. "It's all over, high school is over, and we all have a better future. Thank you for keeping me in your heart. I wish you happiness forever. " Words are full of apologies, and more are sincere blessings.
Zhang turned his head and covered his face with his hand. Tears still flow from my fingers.
"I didn't come to see the scores, because I knew I couldn't get into college at all. But I came anyway. I just came to see my classmates. Because we graduated, some students may never see each other again. I want to take a look at you again and keep you all in mind. Students, I will miss you. " Feng shouted, his voice full of reluctance and nostalgia.
Liu Yanjun came to Lily's side. "Lily, you did well in the exam. Don't forget to write to us after graduating from college. Let's not interrupt contact. By the way, why didn't Guo Xiaomin come? "
"That's for sure. I don't know, Xiao Min. Let's go to her house later. "
"Well, you go, I have to go back later." Liu Yanjun said prevaricated.
I don't know which classmate took the lead in singing "Tomorrow, will you still remember the diary you wrote yesterday? Tomorrow, will you still remember the one who cried the most?" . . . "More and more students joined the singing, beat time, and slowly gathered together. Looking at each other, my eyes were shining with tears. Singing softly, singing beautiful expectations, singing the most beautiful youth.
The wine is full of affection and the song flies. Once you leave, it will be scattered everywhere. Three years of high school, a beautiful youth season, ended with a glass of wine and a song. Goodbye, maybe in the near future, maybe never. Goodbye high school, goodbye youth.
Youth Sacrifice Chapter 19
The next day's activity is to visit my alma mater. On the street of Qinghe County, a beautiful scenery passes by. The students wore white commemorative shirts specially made for the party, which read "Twenty years, goodbye!" Printed on the front. There are two big green characters "Youth" printed on the back. People in the street cast curious and envious eyes.
Soon I came to the gate of my alma mater. There is a banner hanging next to the gate, which reads: "Warmly welcome the students from Class 2, Grade 96, No.2 Middle School in Qinghe County to go home." On the forehead of the tall gate, there are several big words "Qinghe County No.2 Middle School". This is obviously not what it used to be. The campus is spacious and tidy, and the newly laid plastic track, playground, basketball court and football field are covered with green grass. Because it is a holiday, there are no students on campus, so it is very quiet. In those days, the teaching building has also been painted, and the brick canteen has become a brand-new dormitory. There are several buildings on campus. I don't know what to do It seems that there should be a gymnasium and a library. The flag-raising platform is still there, and the flower beds are still there. Although it is not the flowers and trees of that year, it still blooms brilliantly. The dormitory of that year became a warehouse, with mottled walls and broken doors and windows, engraved with a youthful past and a glimpse of that year. Things are different, but youth is not over. Class two and middle school have been there. Although the alma mater has changed its appearance, the footprint of youth will always be printed on this green campus and will never be erased.
Back in the classroom, I sat with my deskmate again. Those who didn't come from the old deskmate formed a new deskmate with classmates in the same situation. A special class meeting began.
Teacher Qi, the head teacher, took the stage to announce the class was over. The students collectively stood up and shouted in unison, "Hello, teacher."
Teacher Qi also solemnly said, "Hello, classmate, please sit down. Twenty years ago, we sat here, studying and making progress together. I had just graduated at that time, and you were the first students I took. Knowing you is a fate arranged by God, and it is also my luck. Today, we are sitting here again, reliving the good times 20 years ago, which is really full of emotion. Seeing that you have achieved something today shows that your efforts twenty years ago have paid off. I am very happy and proud to have you in my life! Let the squad leader preside over the class meeting, and everyone will speak enthusiastically and talk about their experiences and feelings in the past 20 years! "
The monitor walked onto the stage and then said, "Yes, as Teacher Qi said just now, sitting here today, we seem to have returned to the lush years 20 years ago. We studied together, grew up together, and experienced a wonderful youth together. After 20 years of baptism, I think every student has more understanding and interpretation of life. Let's start with the students in the first row, and each student will come on stage to talk about what he wants to say. "
So every student took to the stage and told his feelings about life, his nostalgia for youth and his classmates in the past 20 years. . .
Bian: "I seem to meet and contact the least among my classmates, but not because of distance, not because of time, but because of my inferiority." I always feel that I didn't study well and didn't do well in the exam. It's getting worse now, so I'm embarrassed to see my classmates. This time, I also overcame my inferiority to attend this party, because I miss everyone so much. Seeing my classmates today completely dispelled the ridiculous thoughts in my heart. Our classmates really have nothing to do with social status or wealth. There is pure friendship between classmates. I hope we can miss each other often and meet again in the future. May our friendship last forever. " Warm applause and cheers broke out below.
Zhang Guojun came to the stage with a big belly: "Hello, classmates, I miss you so much. For twenty years, you have all been far away from this campus, and only I am still sticking to this passionate land. After graduation, I returned to work in our alma mater, and I was guarding this dream countryside for my classmates. No matter how far students go and how long they leave, this will always be our permanent harbor. Our local students always welcome you back. Come back for a hot meal and a cup of hot wine. This is what our local students can do and hope to do the best. Qinghe always welcomes you, my classmate. "
Kang Jianguo stepped onto the stage. It's been twenty years. Kang became tanned, but stronger. "Hello, classmate, when the national army called me before, I hesitated for a long time to come over. The thought that you have all been admitted to the university and now you are all working in the city, rich and decent. And I didn't even finish high school, and now I'm still an old farmer, feeling very inferior. But the words of the national army moved me. He said that there is no distinction between our classmates, no distinction between status. The friendship between classmates is pure, and the reunion of classmates is not to compare or show off, but to relive the beautiful youth of the past. I think Guojun said it very well. Yes, although I only studied in high school for more than a year, this year is my most unforgettable day. I often think of teachers, classmates and happy days. I hope that our classmates will become more and more real and stronger. " The following burst into warm applause.
Li Li stepped onto the stage: "The love of classmates is like old wine. With the passage of time, it is not weak, but strong. When we are tired, when we are lonely, we often think of those simple and beautiful days, and think of our dear teachers and classmates, and our tired hearts will be warmly comforted. I love you, my teachers and classmates, and my life is better because of you! "
Liu Yanjun took the stage: "Twenty years ago, I met everyone here and started a wonderful high school life. Twenty years later, I live alone in a strange city, and my youth is gone. Twenty years ago, I struggled, lost and made mistakes. I am sorry for many people, my parents, my teachers and my classmates. Twenty years later, I am still confused and have not found the direction of my life. Youth is a heavy rain. Even if I get wet and get sick, I still want to get wet again. Twenty years, let's * * * cherish the youthful years that are gone forever, * * * cherish the precious present, * * * cherish our unforgettable high school time and profound friendship. Long live No.2 Middle School. Long live youth! "
. . . . . .
The students came to the stage in turn and sincerely told their own mental journey and warm memories over the years. Speaking of emotion, some students in the audience have burst into tears. This special class meeting is going on with laughter and tears, and the air is filled with warmth and emotion. . .
Youth Sacrifice Chapter 20
In the evening, a breeze blew away the heat of the day. At the food stall, the students are talking about food and drinks. Fragrant mutton kebabs, delicious side dishes, large cold beer, so generous, so comfortable, so happy. Whether boys and girls can drink or not, boys let go, girls let go of their reserve, clink glasses with each other, confide in each other, and use wine to remember the beautiful youth and precious friendship that have passed away.
Those who claimed to be able to drink,, and Feng all blushed. Some people who can't drink go to the toilet and pour out the food and wine they just put in their stomachs. Students are drinking back and forth on various wine tables, and they are afraid to miss the opportunity to drink with each other.
Liu Yanjun returned to the back table. The students were listening to Feng. They were so absorbed that they didn't notice the arrival.
"Classmate, you don't fool me, what big boss, I TM is actually a local tyrant in somebody else's mouth. No culture, empty spirit, just a pair of skins. Don't look at my superficial scenery. I have suffered those hardships. Do you know the hardships in my heart every day? " Feng is obviously a little drunk.
"Come on, with luxury cars and beautiful women, let us office workers who are miserable from eight to five every day live!" Bian said sourly.
"When I was a medical representative, I humbly went to see the leaders, directors, doctors and pharmacy owners of those hospitals every day. Countless times, I was looked down upon, spurned and rejected. I just knelt down for others and completely lost my dignity as a human being. So what? In order to survive, in order to ideal, I have to insist. Later, I became the manager of a pharmaceutical company. Although I don't have to look at people's faces with an open mind, I can't sleep well every day because of those measures. I saw those dark corners of society, participated in those dirty transactions, and was always condemned by my conscience. Now that I have started my own business, I can decide and control some things by myself, and the country's efforts to crack down on corruption are getting bigger and bigger, so those dark things are getting farther and farther away from me. Although I have to follow some unspoken rules that I have to follow occasionally, it is always much better than before. "
"Life is like this. Everyone sees the good in others, but not the bad. When you envy others, in fact, others envy you. A person does not necessarily have the wealth, status and fame of others, but he must also have things that others do not have, such as freedom, such as talent, such as ordinary happiness. " Liu Yanjun raised his glass interjected.
"Hey, here comes the great talent in our class." Feng picked up the glass and touched it. Other students also touched glasses with Liu Yanjun.
"Where is the great genius now? Did you become a big official or made a fortune? " Feng asked with a smile.
"What is higher? In state-owned enterprises, I went to a broken class and just mixed up for a day. "
"Oh, not bad. State-owned enterprises are stable, and they get paid every month, and they don't worry about anything. How nice! Come to my house to play sometime in the future. I am in Shijiazhuang and you are in Shenyang, not far from here, hehe. "
"Okay, of course. Come, have another drink. "
Liu Yanjun came to another table. Zhu, Zhang, Hu Lina and others all had a good time.
"Welcome, welcome. Liu Yanjun is quite good now, right? " After drinking wine, Zhang's face turned reddish, showing a mature and elegant temperament.
"Welcome to the great genius." Hu Lina is a little fatter and whiter than last school. At first glance, her temperament and family conditions should be very superior.
Zhang was admitted to a finance college that year and returned to work in Qinghe County Finance Bureau after graduation. Now she is the head of a department of the Finance Bureau. Hu Lina didn't go to college. After graduation, she went into business with her parents, grew bigger and bigger, and married a Gao Fushuai native. Now she is a famous businessman in the county.
"Where does Yan Jun work now?" Zhu asked.
"Oh, I work in a state-owned factory in Shenyang. Where are you now? "
"I am in Changchun, working in a private enterprise, and I am also muddling along."
"Changchun, where I went to college. When did you go? By the way, didn't you transfer to the city to take an examination of the Conservatory of Music? Did it pass later? "
"Well, stop that now and blame yourself for not working hard and not being accepted. I went back to school for another year, and my family wouldn't let me take the music exam. I was admitted to a business university in a provincial capital and went to several places after graduation. Now I am temporarily stable in Changchun. "
"Then do you still play the guitar and sing? I remember when you were at school, you often sang with a guitar, which fascinated many girls. Your singing of Chyi Chin's songs is very special and beautiful. Now when I think of you, I will think of the picture of you singing with a guitar. I miss those days very much! "
"Yes, now think about those days is really beautiful, very unforgettable! I now go to work during the day and go to the bar to sing when I have time at night, which can not only increase some income, but also continue to do what I like and feel happiness and hope from singing. "
"There are so many singing talent shows now, haven't you tried?"
"I have participated in several times, but the results are not ideal. But I won't give up my musical dream. I work, sing and write songs now, and I will take part in various competitions and drafts whenever I have the chance. I believe that one day I will realize my musical dream. "
"Support you, I wish you an early realization of your dream. Cheers. "
Liu Yanjun came to the monitor's desk again. Monitor, Zhang Guojun and Zhang Yong have a good time. Zhang Guojun shouted and set about eating and drinking for everyone, without changing their true colors. See Liu Yanjun hug Liu Yanjun. "Jun, I miss you so much. Your boy didn't come to me when he went home. How did you forget all your old classmates? " Zhang Guojun was admitted to Teachers College and returned to his alma mater after graduation. Now he is the teaching director of the Youth League.
"Where, where. I rarely come back now, my family is not there, and the number of times I come back is less. "
"Dude, come on, do it." Zhang Yong drank wine and walked a little wobbly. He came up with a draft beer cup and grabbed Liu Yanjun's arm with one hand. Zhang Yong didn't go to college either. After graduation, I took a part-time job, then started a small business, got married and had children, and now my life is fairly stable.
Liu Yanjun saw Kang Jianguo sitting there drinking draft beers. "The founding, ok? I remember when you decided not to study, everyone felt very sorry. "
"Ha ha, all right. Farming depends on the sky to eat, unlike you, you are serious in class and have no worries about food and clothing. "
"Come on, you don't know Yan Jun. Now the founding of the People's Republic of China is a big landlord, planting more than one hundred mu of land, raising a lot of cattle and sheep, earning hundreds of thousands a year, which is much better than our work. I am so envious, haha. " Zhang Guojun beside chimed in.
"Really, that's great. How nice it is to farm, just be busy for a while, and earn more money and be free, unlike us who tie a dead body every day to earn some dead wages. If I can't, I'll go with you to farm and raise sheep, haha! "
"You can pull down. In the past two years, food prices have fallen, farming costs have increased, droughts and floods have ensured harvests, and farming is also difficult. "
"Just kidding, forget it, let's drink a toast. I wish you a big fortune in the future! "
"Your boy is ok, don't drink too much. You have made a great contribution to the success of our class reunion. It is difficult to publish all kinds of information online in time, contact classmates and plan copywriting. " The monitor tapped Liu Yanjun on the left chest with his big fist. The monitor was admitted to Harbin Normal University, and now he is a math teacher in a middle school in the provincial capital.
"No, drink too much, ha ha. I'm happy when I drink too much. I've never been drunk in my life. In fact, the most difficult thing is the classmates in the county, Guojun, Lei Zi, and so on. Let's drink to the complete success of our party. " Several people raised their glasses again and gulped them down.
Youth Sacrifice Chapter 21
After the party, Liu Yanjun took this opportunity to return to his hometown. After getting off the bus, Liu Yanjun walked on the newly-built broad road in the village. Looking around, great changes have taken place in his hometown Most people have built tall brick houses, neat courtyards and tall walls, which are very beautiful. Only a few households are still slightly dilapidated brick-soil mixed bungalows, which are scattered in the middle of tall brick houses, which seems to be somewhat uncoordinated. The old poplars at the door of the house are still standing there, with thick branches, broken bark and sparse green leaves, as if telling the once lush and historical vicissitudes. I don't know which owner changed the yard where I lived when I was a child.
Last time I came back, I buried my father. Before his death, his father specifically told him to be buried in the middle of the family ancestral grave. After all, my father's hometown is the most difficult to give up and forget. I have lived here for most of my life. I have experienced hardships and hardships for half my life. I have devoted a lot of effort to running a family and trained several children who have no great prospects. My father managed to get rid of it and just spent two years with him in his spare time. Unexpectedly, the hateful disease mercilessly took away his father's life. The biggest pain in life is to raise children and not be with relatives. How much Liu Yanjun regrets that he didn't take his father to the city earlier and let him live a good life for a few more years. I've always wanted to wait for a better life and let my father live a better life. There is also the obsession with my father, who is always reluctant to come to the city to live. He always said that there were old neighbors in the rural old street. He had nothing to do, playing cards, drinking tea and chatting with the old villagers. No one in the city knew him and was afraid that he would get sick.
My father's grave is buried in the back hill. Looking around, the mountains are green and the scenery in midsummer is infinite. Crops are lush, and flocks of white sheep graze leisurely in the mountains. This is my dream hometown and countryside that I always wanted to escape when I was a child, but now I often want to return. When I was a child, I often sat on the top of this mountain and looked into the distance, dreaming of going to the outside world one day, although I didn't have a clear image and concept of the outside world. Now I have been to many places and seen the prosperity and glory of the outside world. I have also experienced the temptation of desire, the warmth of human feelings, and the helplessness of the world. The outside world is more exciting than my fantasy when I was young, and there are more joys, sorrows and hardships that I never thought of when I was young. After many years, although I walked out of the small mountain village, I didn't walk out of the road I wanted to go and went to the outside world, but I haven't reached the world in my heart yet.
In the evening, I had some wine and chatted with my cousin at his house. Shortly after his father died, his brother and sister also moved out of their hometown. My brother and sister-in-law went to Tianjin, the city where my nephew lives, to help him look after the children. My sister's family went to the Inner Mongolia prairie and lived a grazing life. There are no immediate family members in my hometown now, and I haven't come back for several years. Lying on the kang, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, the bright moonlight spilled all over the floor through the window, and Liu Yanjun couldn't help getting up and dressing and walking towards the outside. A full moon hangs in the air, scattering white moonlight. There are few stars on the moon, and there are only crisp cicadas in the silent night. Such a quiet midsummer night evokes many beautiful memories of Liu Yanjun's youth.
There have been many such wonderful nights, spent with my family and felt the warmth of my family. There have been many such wonderful nights, playing with friends in the moonlight and feeling the happiness of childhood. In summer, cut mugwort leaves to smoke mosquitoes, and roast corn with dried cow dung, which is fragrant and sweet. Harvest crops, corn, soybeans, sorghum and sunflowers with parents, brothers and sisters in autumn, and feel the busyness and joy of harvest. On a snowy night in winter, my friends and I chased and rolled in the snow, enjoying the best gift from heaven. Now, I am very busy in the city. How long has it been since I looked up at the stars? The neon of the city blocks the beautiful starlight, the tall buildings of the city block the prospect, and the smog of the city pollutes the pure air. . . . . .
