Chapter 131: Things are not people
Cheng Ran feels that the telephone is really a great invention, which can make people in different places deeply experience the subtle feeling of being in the same time and space.
When he heard that voice, he thought of the afternoon when he was running a board newspaper in the first middle school of the old junior high school, behind the baffle of the isolation building, the wind passed through Jiang Hongshao's hair, he could think of the way she invited him to drink a six-yuan drink, he could think of the way she sat on the back of her bicycle on the Huanhai Road chasing bandits, and the way she wore slippers in her house in the government courtyard in order to help him sprint for the high school entrance examination.
She had been so real in front of her, and his rebirth had changed the trajectory between the two of them, and he had gone from being a boy who had just stolen loquat at her door and hurried her to inexplicably entering the house. However, the wheel of fate that followed threw the two of them far away.
Rongcheng has the unique advantage of being the provincial capital, and Rongcheng No. 10 Middle School, a national high school, has always stood proudly in the southwest corner. And Jiang Hongshao is like a fish returning to water, the signboard of the tenth middle school, and the provincial youth pacesetter...... Needless to say, she herself is also in that strong high school, and everyone knows about it. If you want to put aside her previous life, Cheng Ran will not have any thoughts about her, in the words that Yu Xiao occasionally feels, some people are there, and they will be like the moon in the night sky, gentle and not dazzling, but it is enough to make you understand the insignificance of the stars.
Cheng Ran, we are all one of the stars.
Jiang Hongshao's voice came from far away, and there was the sound of fireworks bursting in the background, and I hadn't heard this voice for a long time, and it turned out to be a little raw, but in their frequent correspondence, they seemed to be confidants who had nothing to talk about.
Cheng Ran will bring her some new things of perception and cognition, although the times have limited Jiang Hongshao, but she is often a little clear, and the judgment and cognition that is quickly extended make Cheng Ran secretly admire.
There is a wall between them. That layer of wall may be the difference between each other's family background, the ecology of the surrounding environment, and the life track, which is not an estrangement, but an existence that cannot be bypassed.
However, in the correspondence with each other, there is a special mood between each other, which comes from appreciation, mutual recognition of the concept of the world, and the sympathy of taking risks and fighting monsters to walk through the rivers and lakes together, and can ignore the barriers in reality, and be as high as riding the wind, above the void.
At this moment, Jiang Hongshao's voice jumped in the microphone about the beauty of the fireworks, and he felt inexplicably happy.
Cheng Ran originally wanted to say, "Do you think it's good that I'm here?", but looking at the environment where the two people around him looked at him, it was still better not to say this, so he had to say, "This is your phone number?"
"yes, I'll make this call in the future...... By the way, how did you do with your final exam...... I didn't write to ask you, so I didn't reply to report?"
Since autism, Jiang Hongshao's letter has not been sent, the main communication mode between the two is that she comes with a letter, Cheng Ran returns one, there is an interruption halfway, for Cheng Ran, it is easy to explain, after all, it is going to have a winter vacation, Lao Jiang estimates that he also has his own things, playing, traveling or something, after the entire winter vacation, there may be a summary.
Regarding the situation at the end of the term, Cheng Ran wrote directly to the past, did he tell her that you listened well, I am the first in the school, is it amazing...... Whether or not to boast about this kind of thing is secondary, the key is that Cheng Ran himself is planning to give the entrance examination of Rongcheng No. 10 Middle School, he knows very well that his score may be the first place in Shanhai City No. 1 Middle School, but in Rongcheng No. 10 Middle School, it is estimated that it is not strange, and there may be many people who can surpass him.
But in this sentence, although Jiang Hongshao's tone did not fluctuate, and there was also a sense of joking, Cheng Ran seemed to be able to think of her appearance on the other end of the phone.
Is this angry?
“...... It doesn't matter, just say it and listen to it, don't be suffocated. It's pitiful that no one comforts you, I'm kind and cares about you. ”
Cheng Ran's heart moved, and he imitated the famous two-person master, "On the contrary, there are more people who comfort you, good guys are really ...... Let the mountains and the sea!"
After all, Lao Jiang couldn't help it and inquired about his exam.
Jiang Hongshao's voice on the phone became clearer, and it was still a nice and gentle voice, "What a person......
Cheng Ran said, "I took the exam casually at the end of the semester, and I gave me the honor of being the first in the grade, you know, people who can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes......" is very much the taste of the rivers and lakes in the peak of Hong Kong films in the 80s.
Jiang Hongshao on the other end of the phone was obviously stunned for a moment, and then said, "That's ...... How many exams?" seemed to feel threatened, and became as vigilant as a cat.
"1005 bar. ”
Jiang Hongshao sighed.
Cheng Ran is upset, what do you mean by sighing?
“...... I didn't do well in the test either, five points more than you. There is no way, no way, people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes...... It's miserable!"
Cheng Ran: "...... What makes your cheerful tone sound miserable?"
Jiang Hongshao said righteously, "Don't be deceived by appearances, I am sad in my heart." ”
Cheng Ran was silent, "I understand, 'the baby is bitter'!"
But there was no response.
After a while, Jiang Hongshao on the other end of the phone obviously couldn't do the gourd baby King Kong, "What...... Come here, I promise not to hit you on the head!"
Jiang Hongshao, who has probably only been admired by people and no one has ever dared to inch inch, is a little quiet and a little angry.
"Nonsense...... Who's your baby?"
......
I'll let it go, forget about this stubble, in the future, CCTV Spring Festival Gala will hold a few language stalks every year, but that is also after the popularization of the Internet era, this era does not exist.
But how to explain this. Fortunately, without waiting for him to explain, Jiang Hongshao probably guessed that Cheng Ran was talking about an "allusion" that she didn't know, or she didn't want to delve into it and took the topic away.
"Congratulations, you can finally have a good year......
"Uh......" Cheng Ran scratched his head, "How miserable was I in previous years?"
"Judging from your past performance, I think it may indeed be unsatisfactory......
During the high school entrance examination, Jiang Hongshao got his previous grades in order to tutor him, and Cheng Ran still remembers the look of caring for the mentally handicapped when she analyzed his knowledge structure in the playground of the sunset...... As long as you see Cheng Ran's report card, you can imagine how he survived before......
But at this time, Cheng Ran's heart warmed slightly, in fact, she called this phone to ask about the exam, and she still wanted to urge herself. A mentor and a good friend......
Cheng Ran smiled and said, "You dare not forget the people...... In a super high school, I still think about my poor friends in the past. ”
"I can't help it...... You have to observe the people's feelings once a year......" and a playful voice came again, "report it to me truthfully." ”
Cheng Ran listened to it, in the end, he still failed to surpass her in grades, how deep is this girl hidden? It is the efforts of two lifetimes and the blessing of rebirth that he has this explosive result, but Jiang Hongshao is different, so sometimes I have to admit that talent is really temperamental.
But fortunately, I have the secret of the admissions examination materials of Rongcheng No. 10 Middle School, which is a secret weapon, with that set of historical difficult materials as the baseline, if you can gnaw down the reference question paper and brush it to the situation of doing questions as you like, being admitted to Rongcheng No. 10 Middle School is like exploring the bag, and the distance between Jiang Hongshao and him is only five points......
It's not that he has to surpass her, it's just that Cheng Ran wanted to drag her down inexplicably when he thought of her looking at him playfully in front of him like a top master. In front of him, there is always such a person jumping around in front of him and despising himself, and the reborn don't want to lose face!
"How do you spend your vacation, in fact, you can listen to concerts, watch stage plays, you are very good at painting, and you can often go to art exhibitions to learn from experience, enrich yourself......"
Cheng Ran smiled, "Sure enough, it's a big family, there are no conditions for such an elegant thing in a small place......"
"Hey!" Jiang Hongshao on the other end of the phone said angrily, "Then you can also watch a movie...... Cameron's "Titanic" was released, and the background was the 1912 Titanic cruise ship that set sail from Southampton, England to New York and sank when it touched an iceberg. ”
Cheng Ran was in such a trance, yes, this was the Spring Festival of 1998, and the Titanic began to be released, this tragic and poignant love story made thousands of people empty, and it made a lot of people's tears, so that it has become an indelible classic memory in many people's lives.
Many people will deeply remember who they watched this movie with back then, no matter how frugal the conditions were at that time, and how confused they were.
It's just that everyone doesn't know that fifteen years later, this movie will be released again in China. And for many people, in a blink of an eye, fifteen years have passed. The people who watched movies with you fifteen years ago are still the same as yesterday fifteen years later, and are they still living happily together without getting lost?
Or do you no longer know where they are scattered, the vicissitudes of life, and things are wrong?
