Chapter 17: The Appearance of All Beings

I walked into the life of the university in a daze, lived in the university dormitory, and suddenly felt that the world was very big.

In the world of universities, there are always many extreme people, which opened my eyes and made me know that the sky is high and low.

A classmate named Gangzi, he is from another county, his spoken English has a strong local accent, whenever he speaks English, everyone laughs back and forth, but he is not unmoved, he is the earliest to get up on campus every morning, and he sleeps the latest, he has broken three Longman dictionaries. In order to practice speaking, he even broke into a big hotel, was caught by the security guards, and was finally bailed out by the school. From the beginning of ridiculing him, to the later admiration for him, he refreshed my perception of hard work, and he also made me believe that knowledge can change fate.

Ah Hui, who slept on my top bunk, was the most touching among the girls. A beautiful girl, she doesn't usually talk much, but my feeling about her is to learn from the dead, to the point where no one else is, and I used to wonder where her motivation comes from. One weekend I brought my mother's pancakes from home, and she was alone in the dormitory, and I asked her to eat together, and when we ate together, maybe at that moment she suddenly felt homesick, and she uncharacteristically told me about the good dishes her father also cooked. I looked at her with tears in her eyes. She continued: "The school I went to was ridiculed by the neighbors next door, and they said very ugly, and my father was very sad, and my father said that I must fight for myself and the family. So I have to work hard, I can't let my dad down. Looking at her sad expression, I finally understood the truth that the mourning soldiers must win. As he said, she finally earned money for her family and created a bright future for herself.

There is also a girl in my dormitory, Xiaohong, black and thin, who speaks a thick Northeast dialect and dresses very plainly, but she always looks very arrogant, and her roommates always say in private that she has some arrogant capital, and she doesn't talk to mortals for a day. But I have a good relationship with him, he always says that I am so sloppy, and from time to time helps me make my bed and tidy up my books. At that time, I was interested in any club, and she always said that I should remember my main business and not want to get involved in everything. But overall she was humble to me. I also took Xiaohong to my house, and during the summer vacation of my sophomore year, she invited me to go around their northeast, and my parents agreed. This trip to the Northeast refreshed my cognition.

We took the train for three days and three nights to get to his house, and when we got off the train, we saw two handsome guys coming to pick her up, and directly called her the eldest sister, but their age was much older than Xiaohong's. Later, I realized that it was the eldest sister. The car that came to pick up was the Honda Accord, and I had made a Santana at most in Chang'an. I was immediately confused. When she entered her house, her grandmother greeted her, and what a rich old lady she was. After dinner together in the evening, I finally met Xiaohong's parents, and I learned about their family little by little. His father is engaged in the grain business, in the early 90s, his family's assets have reached 10 million, his uncle is the richest man in Changhong City, Xiaohong's family has a total of three children, a sister and a younger brother, the younger sister is very beautiful, and the younger brother was sent to Japan.

I'm a little weird that Xiaohong didn't give me the answer, but come to think of it, I didn't ask her either. Usually she doesn't get involved in our conversations in the dormitory, not because she's arrogant, it's because she's not interested, and she's much more mature than we are. What's more, she is so low-key, her clothes are sometimes simpler than mine, but when she returns to her house, she changes her clothes, the appearance of a rich lady, and she is directly involved in the management of her family.

His father was very enthusiastic and arranged for a driver to drive a Guangben and let us take the highway to the sea, which was the only closed highway in the country at that time. When I arrived in the coastal city, I stayed directly in a five-star hotel, Xiaohong's uncle received, I had seen such a battle, a big table of meals, thousands at every turn, such a big lobster, such a luxury hotel, so I was at a loss, I would not talk to Xiaohong, although she still talked to me like in the past, but I was not comfortable anymore. I don't have the joy of being an equal. After staying for more than ten days, I'm going home, I touched my pocket, and the five hundred yuan that my father brought was lying in my pocket, and the driver of their family had bought the train ticket for the return trip, Xiaohong sent me to the train station and told me that the situation at home was kept secret for him, and when I returned to school, we were still the same as in the past, I laughed at her that she was an old fox, hidden deep enough.

From Xiaohong's body, I saw the low-key, the kind of low-key that is deeply hidden. This is something I can't imagine. Although I have experienced a lot of things, I have also witnessed Xiaohong's father coming out of the futures market when his smoking hand was shaking, that was just when the futures were closed, 6 million disappeared, this kind of ups and downs is not something I can imagine and bear. Xiaohong is destined to be the one who walks in the wind and waves, and after she graduated and came home, she helped her father clean up the mess, and then she was admitted to graduate school and survived in the system. Because she said that she was tired of the ups and downs, tired of the ups and downs of the business sea, she wanted to live an ordinary life.

My parents were really out of my control, they just gave me living expenses on time, and they didn't know about my situation at school.

My brother came to see me in the dormitory when I was in college, and that time I will never forget.

At that time, if it wasn't for the economic crisis, I wouldn't have gone home, and Zhou Tian would rather be in the dormitory. My brother's unit is an aerospace system, and they work normally on Sundays and rest on Wednesdays. That Sunday, I was talking to everyone in the dormitory, and the horn of the dormitory sounded, and someone was looking for it in the light rain in dormitory 404. I was surprised to think who it could be? When I went out and saw that it was my brother, I was surprised how my brother could come. My brother came to my dormitory with me and gave everyone an apple, saying that my sister is more pampered at home and usually ignorant, and if she is offended, I hope you will bear with me. Everybody said yes. My brother didn't sit for a few minutes before he got up to leave, I sent my brother out of school, saw the rice noodle stand that I often eat, and told my brother, one day I ate rice noodles at the rice noodle stall, and after eating and paying the bill, they ignored me for a long time, and I left, who let them reflect so slowly. My brother looked at me, walked straight to the rice noodle stall, and asked the middle-aged man, saying that the rice noodles cost more than a bowl, and the man said one yuan, and my brother gave the middle-aged man one yuan, saying that my sister was in a hurry to eat rice noodles that day, and there was no need to pay the bill, so I will make up for you.

I silently followed behind my brother, all the way to the station, the sky was cute and light rain, the car was coming, my brother said, I have time to go home to see my parents in the future. I dreamed last night that you were being bullied at school, and I came to see you, and the school gate was locked, but you were crying inside, so I didn't worry about coming to see you. As he was talking, the car came, my brother jumped into the car, the door closed, and the car went away, leaving me in a daze.

I wasn't a hard student at university, and I was surprised by the eloquence and organization I showed to have organized a strike and really kicked out my grammar teacher. But I neglected to consolidate my professional knowledge. In college, I ignored my own disadvantages, and sank into a short-term happiness, not realizing that a crisis was looming over me.
