Forty-three 89 stars
After months of waiting at home, I finally received an acceptance letter, which is a little-known university. Despite this, in order to enter this school, the family also had a lot of trouble.
Because I was held back by English and mathematics, my college entrance examination score was only a pitiful 389 points, just past the junior college admission line, and there is still a big gap from the undergraduate line of 450. In fact, in my opinion, college and undergraduate graduates are actually the same, and it doesn't matter if you have to study undergraduate.
But my parents didn't want their son to find a job with only a college diploma in the future, so they racked their brains, worked hard, and finally sent me to this private university.
I read a preparatory department.
The so-called preparatory department is to pay the money and let you come in for a trial year, after which all preparatory students take a symbolic entrance exam. As long as you can pass the exam, you will be able to enter the undergraduate department of the school. Although this is a very effective way for schools to make money, after all, not every private school can do it, because it requires very strong back-office support.
From this, I can also get a glimpse of the relationship between the school boss and the central leadership.
After a month of busy preparations, half of September had passed in the blink of an eye, and I suddenly felt a little melancholy as I saw that the day of leaving school was getting closer and closer. is about to leave the city where I was born and raised, stayed for nearly 20 years, and goes to an unknown place, and there will be some emotions that are more or less difficult to let go in my heart. This place has given me too many memories, whether it is beautiful or painful, after all, it is a memory.
"Xiaobei, I'm downstairs at your house, can I come down for a while?" Just as I was reminiscing about the past, I unexpectedly received a call from Meizi, it seems that since we broke up, Meizi has never called me again.
"Eh, what's the matter?" is probably the man's terrible self-esteem, and I don't want to see Meizi at the moment.
"I want to get you something, come down quickly! I sneaked out of work, I can't stay too long......" Seeing that I was still hesitating, Meizi couldn't help but urge.
"Oh well. Although I was very unhappy, I finally agreed to Meizi.
Nervously walking downstairs, I saw a plum that I hadn't seen for a long time.
Seeing me come down, the expression on Meizi's face suddenly became cramped and uneasy: "Well, this is for you." As she spoke, Mei Zi reached out her hand hidden behind her back and handed me a beautifully wrapped gift bag.
"What is this?" I took the bag with a puzzled expression, and waited until I opened the outer layer of wrapping paper, and then I realized that it turned out that Meizi had given me a clear glass bottle filled with hand-folded paper stars, "You folded it?" I asked strangely.
"Yes. Meizi nodded noncommittally.
In my impression, girls seem to like origami stars very much, and when they fold stars, they are also weaving their own minds, but it's just minds.
"I heard you're leaving, huh...... I don't know what gift to give you, so I took advantage of the fact that I had nothing to do at work, and folded a few stars, which was regarded as a little souvenir. Meizi's face was slightly red, and seeing that I was stunned in place for a long time without reacting, Meizi couldn't help but ask, "Hey, do you like it or not?
"Thank you, boss. "The gift of the plum was too heavy, and I hurriedly and carefully held the glass bottle in the palm of my hand, for fear that I would break it if I was not careful.
Hearing this familiar title, Meizi seemed stunned for a moment, but she quickly came back to her senses, and a smile on her face that I hadn't seen for a long time instantly appeared: "Well, then I'll go back to work, employee." ”
Watching Meizi leave, I returned home with a hint of mixed feelings. Sitting on the edge of the bed, I uncorked the glass bottle, then poured all the paper stars on the sheets, and counted them carefully, and there were 89 stars in total.
It seems that I have heard people say that the different numbers of paper stars have their own different meanings, such as 1 paper star represents the only love, 2 represents love for each other, 3 represents I love you, and 66 represents never separate......
So what do the 89 paper stars that Meizi gave me represent? Driven by curiosity, I turned on my computer and searched the Internet.
But after asking Baidu for a long time, I couldn't find the result I wanted, and finally gave up. Sitting back on the edge of the bed, I put the paper stars scattered on the sheets back into the bottles, found a free spot on the bookshelf, and placed the bottles up.
As I was doing, I was still thinking about the meaning of the 89 stars in my mind: "89, 89, don't go, don't go, don't go, does it mean don't go, does Meizi tell me not to go?" I said to myself.
Hehe, in less than a second, I vetoed my guess. Or maybe these stars don't mean anything else at all, it's just that the bottle is full after the plum folds 89 stars, and that's it, it's my own passion.
After thinking about it for a while, I gradually put the matter aside.
In the afternoon, Xiao Yi suddenly called and found me, it turned out that he was admitted to a university outside the province, and he was going to report to the school tomorrow, and he wanted to come out to meet us again before leaving.
Hanging up the phone, I hurriedly texted a few brothers who had a good time, and agreed that everyone would come out for a meal together in the evening, and by the way, I also saw off Xiao Yi.
Sitting around the dinner table and talking about the impending separation, the topic gradually began to get heavy. Looking back on the past three years, everyone unconsciously became excited. There is nowhere to vent the sadness, so I have to use drinking and clinking glasses to dispel the sadness in my heart, and even Cheng Shuai, who usually doesn't know how to drink, drank a lot today.
Xiao Yi didn't know why, and suddenly mentioned Lele, and the faint words seemed to touch the extremely sensitive and fragile nerves in my heart, and those long-sealed memories, like a black-and-white movie, began to slowly emerge in my mind again......
"The autumn breeze blows on the face, watching the remnants of the flowers falling, and I have a thought. The whistle in the distance is still there, sleepless at night, and you are not seen. I don't want to hurt myself with tears, and I choke up with loneliness. The night is quiet, who is drunk and wakes up, and the encounter is indefinitely weeping ripples. You and I are already two heavens, holding hands and looking at the clouds between thoughts. Where is the full moon? Under the street lamp, smiling faces are hard to see. Wine wakes up in the Ming Dynasty, it should be the autumn rain lingering. Even if spring has arrived, who are you in love with?" fell on the table, and an indescribable sadness spread throughout his body in an instant.
If you don't get drunk tonight, you won't go home.
