Chapter 1 Commencement of School

Next Chapter

In the hall of the lecture hall, the opening ceremony of the University began, and the principal made a speech in a loud voice, his eyes were full of expectation and dazed, and he didn't know who he was looking at, as if he was looking at the head of a great man with a large mirror frame on the opposite wall. The school leaders sat neatly on the rostrum, held their heads high, and put on a posture of taking the lead in applauding at a critical moment. It looks like the mentally ill patients in Ankang Hospital collectively watching young girls perform ballet. The students under the podium chatted, texted, called, and played handheld games, and some couples hid in the back row, kissing as if no one was around, seeing that the boy's hand was about to reach into the girl's neck, and rubbing it, causing the elderly classmates around to turn around for a while, and turn around for a while. The younger schoolgirls buried their red and white faces very low, very low.

Sitting in the front row, I watched and listened quietly with my head held high, but my heart did not know where it had flown to. The old people often say that people are born with a life of suffering, they come to the world crying, life itself gives people more pain than happiness, and the busy work makes me like a scrapped machine. All kinds of reports and information are like a heavy burden, which weighs me so hard that I can't stand up straight. I have no choice but to enroll in a university course to relax, which can not only avoid overtime work, but also exchange for the support of leaders and the goodwill of colleagues. If you are lucky enough to get a degree, you can also mix an official and a half-job in the unit. In this regard, I deliberately kept an eye on it when I registered, and asked in detail, can a person as stupid as myself get his academic qualifications? Without saying a word, the dean of academic affairs took me to the door of the undergraduate classroom where the class was taking place, and pointed out to me the chubby student in the distance through the window. In the harsh winter weather, I saw that the eldest brother was still wearing a Barcelona team uniform (a pair of fat shorts, a short-sleeved T-shirt printed with No. 10 Xiao Luo), his head was slightly smaller than a ripe winter melon, and he was dreaming of spring on the table, and his nose was flowing along his nostrils to form a stream on the desk, and the sound was like thunder, and no warrior dared to approach the seats around him, and the dean of academic affairs looked at me and said, "You should understand this time, right!" I nodded, shook my head again, and the director said anxiously: "Are you not as good as him?" I half-jokingly said, "I'm not as good as him, everyone is undergraduate, and I just signed up for a junior college." The dean of academic affairs smiled and said: "I won't tell you, this classmate bought his primary school degree, and he bought it until the University of Electrical Engineering, and his family is quite rich. I was puzzled and asked, "What's the use of learning such waste?" "Young man, isn't that the case now?" People have money and connections, so in the future, they will get a book, and arrange a job for them based on their connections, maybe they are much better than you, why are you so angry?" I stood there and stopped for a long time.

The president is still bragging about the history of the university and its influence in the city, how many talents are sent to the country every year, and how many famous experts and scholars are from the university.

The appearance of a little girl with a high ponytail made me come back to my senses involuntarily, she was wearing a denim outfit, short and short, like a little angel, panting and coming to my approach, and asked, "Classmate, is there anyone next to you!" "No!" I replied subconsciously. I looked at her, this girl was delicate-looking, elegantly behaved, with a small nose, a small mouth, and a small face, only those big bright eyes shimmered with strange brilliance. At first, she was still looking at the figures on the rostrum, and after a while, the headmaster's rigid conversation made the little girl unable to sit still, and she began to look at me, asking this and that in a whisper. "Are you in charge or in cost?"

"Take care of it!"

"We are a major, and we will be classmates in the future!" she looked excited, "Which unit are you from?"

"I'm in the chemical industry. ”

She didn't seem satisfied, "Do you live far away?"

"It's not far, just across the bridge. What about you?" I asked rhetorically.

"I came by subway. My family lives in Nanjiang District. ”

"What unit are you in?"

She asked vigilantly, "Why are you asking so much?

"Who checked the account first!"

"I'm only allowed to check on you, not me!" she said with a smile.

"Why can't I ask you if you're unreasonable?"

"Because I don't know you yet, and you can only ask me when I know you pretty well!"

"Alas, you girls just have a lot of things!" I sighed, I didn't think that this voice was quite loud, I felt that the words were wrong, and it would arouse the anger of the girls, but it was too late, and when I turned around, I saw the girls in the back row glaring at me angrily, and I smiled at them very uncomfortably in embarrassment.

When the opening ceremony ended as scheduled, I stretched out and walked out of the lecture hall and was about to go downstairs, when I heard someone shouting from behind, "Are you going so fast? gasped and shouted, "You don't even want a kettle!"

I touched it, but I didn't bring the kettle, "I'm sorry, I asked you to bring it to me!"

"I'll move my mouth, something practical. She looked at her watch, "It's almost noon, can you invite me to a meal?"

"I knew you didn't have the consciousness to pick up money, pick up a kettle, and I have to treat you to a meal. ”

She smiled and asked me, "How about going to KFC?"

I said disdainfully, "Do you like junk food in the eyes of foreigners? Ask for a few side dishes, and ask for two bottles of beer to eat and drink, how refreshing!"

She pouted and said unhappily, "Is there a mistake, but you invite me, you are the master, I am the guest, you have to listen to me!"

The KFC restaurant is clean and bright, the colonel is smiling kindly, the waiters are busy diligently, the lovers are chatting warmly, and the children are innocently playing, everything is so harmonious and warm.

In front of the ordering table, the waiter asked with a habitual smile, "Welcome, what do you two need?"

I looked at her and said, "Order whatever you want, don't save me for me!"

She rummaged through her schoolbag, and from time to time she raised her head to look at the order list: "Don't worry, I have coupons, I won't let you break the bank!" I want a set menu, a pair of roasted wings, a sundae ice cream and ......" She tore the coupons one by one, and counted the price while tearing it.

I was calm and calm, but in my heart I beat a small drum, but fortunately within the budget, I paid the bill, and she chose a window seat with a plastic plate full of food. After taking a big sip of his drink, he said, "I usually come with friends, and the environment here is good, which is more suitable for chatting and resting." ”

"Do you girls like to come to this kind of place?"

"Yes, usually with a boyfriend. ”

"And your boyfriend often brings you here, too?"

"Why do you ask so much? I can't even bet you on such a big plate of food!"

I quipped, "Wash your hands after eating!"

She blushed and went straight to the bathroom.

I've always been very skeptical of my own charm, not because I'm not handsome, but because the success rate is too low, most of the girls I've come into contact with are the first to approach me, they are like passers-by, hurrying back and forth, which makes me feel impatient and overwhelmed for a long time, so that I gradually lose confidence. This classmate is likely to be one of the many girls. She was as cheerful as the girls I had met before, just as beautiful and generous, and I was used to it. Love is sometimes like a swamp, the deeper you sink, the more difficult it is to extricate yourself, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. It's better to treat it with a normal heart, just like a passerby in the station wagon. Looking out the window at the bustling crowd, the winter sun is gentle and affectionate, quietly sprinkled on the earth, squares, sculptures, hot springs and pedestrians, and people feel a little sleepy because of their warmth and comfort.

In a pleasant atmosphere of conversation, she finally revealed the true face of Lushan, her name is Xiaoling, two years younger than me, working in a construction company, the secondary school is to study civil engineering, combined with the work to further study, enroll in a university course, amateur learning. She has a wide range of interests, likes to socialize, and is quite popular in the unit, and is affectionately called "Little Pepper" by her colleagues.

At this moment, a middle-aged man swept past our seats, looking left and right, searching for the square table next to us. The two of us ate with relish, at first I thought he had left some valuables in the store, and after a while, he sat down at the table opposite us, with a pair of big eyes, while staring at us while swallowing saliva, I touched Xiao Ling who was eating with relish with my right arm: "You said that the person sitting opposite us is sick, let's eat, why does he keep staring at us?" Xiao Ling took a sip of the drink, raised her head to look at it, and said indifferently: "Why do you say that? , I squeezed my eyes at Xiaoling, then coughed twice, and said, "Eat almost, let's go?" I got up, there was still a half-eaten burger on the plate, and there were still some drinks left in the cup, we walked out of the fast food restaurant, turned a corner to the side door, through the glass window of the side door, we looked in curiously, only to see the person, while looking around, quickly sat down in the seat where we left, took a sip of the drink first, and swallowed the leftover burger I gnawed with relish. We looked at Hao Hyun and didn't throw it up. I saw Xiaoling cover her mouth and turn around and say, "Let's go!", I smiled and said to her: "You haven't eaten enough, let's buy something more?", "I'm full, I'm still eating!"

Dropping her off at the station, we waved goodbye through the glass window of the car, and we could see that she was happy.
