Chapter 18: Graduation Season
Time walks without hurrying with the same steps, sneaking away and bringing a new beginning. It's the middle of June, and before I know it, it's graduation season again.
It is exciting and retreating, and the past events that happened on campus have long since turned into a thing of the past. In this splendid year, we will be helpless to be separated here. The green years of walking in the corridor of time will eventually have to go through several ups and downs and many partings.
Graduation season is such a practice of bitterness, or cruel season, time, to collect memories of the past. Time has witnessed my growth, but my young heart is still ignorant.
The sky was blue, the sun hung like a fireball, and the clouds seemed to be melted by the sun, and they disappeared without a trace. The shade of the trees lining the school road is lush, and the cicadas sing in unison, as if boasting about their season.
I was sitting on a bench in the shade of a tree, and Zhang Mengxin saw me, called me my name, and walked over to me. I stretched out my hand and used my hand to form a rectangular box and put Zhang Mengxin into the frame. Thinking about how nice it would be to have a camera and take this beautiful picture!
"Kong Weihe, how did you do in the exam! Did I waste my tutoring results for you this month?" Zhang Mengxin said jokingly.
In this sad season, we are trying our best to control the reluctance to part!
"Big class leader, I can get there with your tutoring, annoyed! Look, I got 183 points!"
"Mmmm, yes, yes, both of them have passed 85!
"What about you, my squad leader!"
"Don't look at me, I'm afraid I'll hit you too much. Zhang Mengxin covered her mouth and said with a smile, her snow-white skin leaked beautiful dimples again, this little girl became drifting again, and I was stunned for a while!
Zhang Mengxin saw that I was coming to grab it, her hands were back, her body was pushed forward, my whole person pounced into the air, my body staggered, my hand unconsciously dragged her waist, and the weight of my whole person fell to Zhang Mengxin's body, she retreated, and the whole person was about to fall in the direction of the back. I hugged her in my arms with both hands, and tried my best to hit the ground first when I fell! Fortunately, it was grass, and at the moment of falling, I used my back to protect Zhang Mengxin's body, Zhang Mengxin lay on my body, and I fell on the grass under the shade of the trees.
"Look at you, really!"
Zhang Mengxin lay on my body, quickly sat up, and brushed her clothes. Said resentfully.
I scratched the back of my head, and I couldn't get up half-lying, looking at the sky, two birds flew in the distance, flying so high and so far!
"Annoying, here you go!" I saw not a report card, but a woven bracelet with a small pendant hanging from it, which was very delicate.
"Why! you're going to confess to me!" I expected.
"Confess that you are a big-headed ghost, you are about to graduate, and you don't have any gifts for you, so I will make a bracelet for you!"
"Why, it's going to be middle school soon, we're a school, maybe it's going to be a class, why are you making it like you're going to see each other!" I pouted and muttered!
"Do you want it?"
"Yes, yes, of course I do!" I said, I took the bracelet and put it on my left wrist, and it looked good no matter how I looked at it. After taking it, he lay on the grass with his hands on his head. Zhang Mengxin saw me lying down and watching the sky, and she also lay down in the open space next to me, with a faint fragrance coming from the soft grass!
"You say, will we get out of this small village in the future!"
"What do you think! We'll go to town when we go to school, why can't we get out of this village! When the time comes, I'll pass by your house and pick you up by bicycle!"
Zhang Mengxin didn't speak, but also followed my example to form a rectangle with her hands, facing the two geese flying in the sky, wanting to shoot an eternal moment.
We lay down for a long time. Lying in the shade of the trees, I felt the wind gently blowing on my face, and the rays of sunlight reflected a small colorful circle of light on the ground through the gaps in the leaves.
For a long time, when Zhang Mengxin and I were enjoying the time of the two, Datou Ze and Datou Shi came over with Kong Hui's noisy voice, and I got up to see which school these two bar spirits were arguing about because of which school they went to! Zhang Mengxin stood up quickly, with a shallow flush on his face.
"Yo, sorry to disturb the two of you!" said the big head Zezumi.
"you big head!!" I quipped.
"More than eighty points, alas! Which school do you say we should go to?" asked Datouze.
"I'm going to Pingwei. "I chose it for no reason.
"Of course, Pingping and Mengxin, we are going to Pingwei. Look, you are the only one who goes to school with Emperor Gao, and the big-headed man will also go to Pingwei with us. Kong Hui hurriedly said.
"Then we are going to separate, how about it, if we get together in the afternoon, we should part. Seeing that no one objected, Datouzawa said and looked at me.
"Where do you want to go!" I said.
"There are a lot of people going to Pingwei, how about we go to Pingwei in the afternoon!" said Datou.
"Then let's meet at school at four o'clock in the afternoon! "Then let's get two bicycles back!" I said to Datouze and Datoushi.
After a brief separation, I rode my second-hand bicycle that was riding on the same second-hand bicycle that I was riding on to middle school, and I brought 50 yuan from home, thinking that it should be enough for the evening. Soon the two of them came, and we rode a bicycle to the village in front of us. It is estimated that girls will not go by bicycle.
I rode with Zhang Mengxin, Datouze with Kong Hui, and Datoushi with Kong Ping, who was from the same village as her, and a group of six of us rode to Pingwei. Walking around the side streets, I found that they were all selling all kinds of snacks. I rarely come to Pingwei, I only know that there are a lot of cars on the road here, and I am still thinking that a few of us should pay attention to safety and try to stay away from those big trucks pulling coal!
I found a small restaurant, a middle-aged uncle was in charge, his son was about the same age as us, saw our group of six, warmly greeted us in the house, found a larger table, and recommended to us their signature dishes in the store, pot chicken and cold salad! We are a group of teenage children, no can drink, but how can there be no wine at the parting meal, so let the little brother serve us a few bottles of beer, a few people while eating while talking about all kinds of things in school!
When it got dark, we drank probiotic beer, and a big bottle made me a little dizzy, Zhang Mengxin and Kong Hui drank a bottle, and Pingping drank a bottle like us boys. I guess if you really drink it, we don't think it's her opponent.
After drinking, we walked and talked along the way. I don't know if I feel that I have arrived in Kongqian Village. I knew that the real parting had come, we waved our hands and sent off our classmates one by one, and finally Datouze was waiting for me on the side, and Zhang Mengxin and I said parting words.
Under the moonlight, Zhang Mengxin's jade-like hand took me and gently pointed at me:
"I won't see each other again, you have to go to school hard!
I'm still wondering why she thinks that, didn't we go to school together!
"Mengxin, are you thinking about it again!" I felt that Zhang Mengxin was a little abnormal, so I asked.
"Uh! no, no, you go back with Datouze, it's too late, pay attention to safety when riding!"
Finally, I reluctantly waved goodbye to her!
After today, we have the real difference in life, we have the choice to continue to study hard, and some in order to reduce the burden on the family, we have contacted relatives and friends early to find a job to work!
The moment of separation is so sad with a vague hope, so I unconsciously face it with a smile, but I don't know if this smile is joy or bitterness. Even I don't understand it, and the unknown sourness in it makes me defenseless. All sorrows and joys are beautiful days that we miss.
My elementary school years have passed in such a sad separation, and I will be greeted by a new environment! New friends, the future will be very difficult!
