Chapter 54: Class Reunion
Although the parents have now moved into the building, but most of the people who live in the village are the old neighbors in the village, still follow the customs of the rural New Year, the New Year here is much more lively than in Jincheng, the traditional old rules, every family buys a lot of things, especially food and drink, from the twenty-third day of the lunar month began to oil, steamed steamed buns, fried fish...... , from the first day of the new year to the fifteenth day of the first month, I basically don't need to buy anything.
Lin Wen and his son live in the house that has been renovated, and the things that his younger brother bought are quite complete, and he uses a lot of things, which shows that he has put a lot of effort into it. It's just that Lin Wen likes to drink tea, but there is no tea table and teapot at home, so Lin Wen led his son to the mall to buy a set.
Walking in the community, I didn't meet a person I knew, after moving into the building, the crowd also increased, mainly because I had left home for 17 years, and the previous children had grown up, so it was not surprising that I didn't know him. Lin Wen just felt sour in his heart, everything was no longer the familiar small village before, and all the people basically didn't know a few people.
Because the road was not familiar, Lin Wen didn't drive, and walked in the community holding his son's hand, looking at the grass and trees, he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. Seventeen years ago, when I walked out of here, the house was a brick house, I was a poor boy, I only took the train once before going to the military school, after seeing the outside world, I knew how poor my village was, only then did I know how shallow my knowledge was, only to know how cruel this world was, seventeen years of ups and downs, seventeen years of bitterness, seventeen years of stumbling, suddenly looking back, it has been from an ignorant boy to the time of not being confused, but how will I go on now?
Lin Wen thought wildly, looked down at his son, whose face was a little red from the cold, and suddenly a wave of pride and blood rushed to his whole body! I have been reborn, I must not do nothing, I will never live up to the mercy and favor of the sky, I must have the heart of seeking ambition, having hope, and reaching high ambitions, and I must have the way to recuperate, be strong, and accumulate steadily, and I will definitely live up to this life!
Out of the community, I took a taxi to the mall to buy a big tea table and a set of tea sets, and bought a few kinds of tea, and when I was buying clothes for my son, I saw Zhang Jing, a female high school classmate. She was more gentle and beautiful than when she was a student, and she was surprised to see Lin Wen, after all, they hadn't seen each other for many years, and the two exchanged a few words. Zhang Jing said that there were more than 20 class reunions on the third day of the Lunar New Year, and everyone didn't know how to contact you, so there was no notice. Lin Wenwen wanted to push it off, but she could see her enthusiastic appearance, and she couldn't help but think of the bits and pieces of her high school days, so she nodded and agreed to participate.
Chinese New Year's Eve, Lin Wen and his parents, his brother's family had a reunion dinner, happy and happy, his younger brother Zhang Luo's car repair and beauty shop is in full swing preparation, bought two store houses, invested 700,000 yuan for decoration, buy equipment, recruit technicians, listening to his brother's narration, Lin Wen is very happy, the younger brother only needs to know how to struggle, in fact, he did not ask him to earn much money, now even if he to feed the whole family is not a problem, but if there is no struggle faith and enterprising spirit, this family is bound to fall and die.
On the first day of the new year, I was busy visiting the New Year, and there were many guests at my parents' house, all of whom came to visit the New Year. Lin Wen felt a little troublesome, so he took Xiao Lin Feng back to his home and drank tea with his son. Under his own influence, the son began to gradually like to drink tea, and the son looked much more mature than children of the same age, like a little adult, and his heart was sweet......
In the second year of junior high school, I went to the hot spring with my son for a day, and the little guy actually used the hot spring pool as a swimming pool, fluttering in it, and having fun......
said that he would attend the class reunion in the third year of junior high school, so he had to hand over his son to his younger brother and let him play with his little nephew.
In the past, every time Lin Wen went back to his hometown, he would stay for a day or two at most, and basically didn't go anywhere, but after the rural transformation in recent years, many buildings were built, and the roads were not familiar, so he was too lazy to drive, so it was better to take a taxi.
After arriving at the booked hotel, there were at least fifteen or sixteen people, and most of the classmates had not seen each other for seventeen years since graduating from high school, and some even felt like they had not seen each other. But the atmosphere of the party was lively, with some whispering, some making fun of each other, and even fighting with each other. Everyone saw that Lin Wen was coming, and all kinds of complicated eyes met with joy, surprise, and surprise, Lin Wen greeted everyone one by one, and then sat quietly in the corner.
After the meeting, the speaker was the former class president, I only remember that his surname is Qu, this person did not have a level when he was in high school, and his popularity was not good, but he had a good uncle, his uncle was the leader of the education department at that time, and the school leaders and teachers took special care of him, as for whether his position as class leader was also regarded as special care, it is unknown. When he was in school, he was above the top, and he felt that he was superior, and he couldn't look down on a poor kid like Lin Wen, and it was estimated that he couldn't remember Lin Wen's name for a long time. Lin Wen just heard from his classmates that he seems to be working in the Education Bureau now, so it's no wonder that he still speaks in an official tone.
Lin Wen sat quietly in the corner, always looking like he had nothing to do with himself, as if the whole scene had nothing to do with him. There are a few male classmates who used to get along well with themselves, but unfortunately they went to Jincheng later, and they didn't earn a few wages at that time, they didn't have money in their hands, and they didn't have time to contact, and then they gradually lost contact, and their feelings naturally faded.
Everyone was drinking, some kept bragging about themselves, some praised others, and some teased the female classmates they had loved before, Lin Wen looked at everything in front of him, and somehow, he seemed to feel that he was drifting away from everyone, because he had been away for too long? Maybe it was because there was no connection? Anyway, he just felt that there was no topic to talk about. Moreover, Lin Wen himself also felt a little distressed, I don't know why he is becoming more and more closed, and even a little deliberately low-key, he doesn't like to have a trace of publicity, maybe it is related to his experience.
Lin Wen stood up, quietly said hello to the people around him, and prepared to leave the table. Before leaving, he glanced back at the classmates present, feeling very lost, and also felt that this was a meaningless party, in this party, he also saw a lot of invisible things, comparisons, showing off, and most of them always wore masks, and there was no trace of the past.
Lin Wen couldn't help but sigh, this is what people look like when they grow up, no matter how simple and pure you are when you are a child, in the big dye vat of society, after continuous impact and infection, you will change, and sometimes you even don't even know yourself.
