A middle-aged female teacher in her fifties was sitting at her desk, staring at a form on her desk. Looking up at Niu Liang coming to him, Teacher Yao asked, "Why didn't you fill in the college entrance examination volunteer form?"

Niu Liang: "I won't take the college entrance examination anymore." ”

Teacher Yao was surprised: "Why?"

Niu Liang: "There is no major in college that I need. ”

Teacher Yao: "What major do you need?"

Niu Liang: "I want to be a taxi driver." ”

Teacher Yao was surprised: "Taxi driver, why do you want to be a taxi driver? Aren't your grades very good?"

Niu Liang: "I've dreamed of being a taxi driver since I was a child. ”

Teacher Yao: "What's so good about being a taxi driver?"

Niu Liang: "That's the most humane kind of profession - a kind of profession where strength and beauty, reality and dreams are completely controlled by yourself!"

Teacher Yao: "That's so mysterious—— does your mother agree with you doing this?"

Niu Liang: "Agreed." ”

Teacher Yao casually picked up the phone on the table: "Your home phone number is-"

Niu Liang: "629552312." ”

Teacher Yao dialed the phone of Niu Liang's house and held the microphone: "Niu Liang's mother?...... I'm Mr. Yao...... Oh...... Oh...... Oh. ”

Then he hung up the phone, turned to Niu Liang and said, "Since this is the case, the examination is over, and you don't have to go to school." The graduation certificate has been prepared for you a long time ago, and I originally wanted to wait for the college entrance examination to be issued to you, but now yours can take it first. Don't make a statement to other classmates, so as not to affect the morale of the military!"

As he spoke, Mr. Yao took out Niu Liang's graduation certificate from the drawer and handed it to Niu Liang: "I wish you all the best in the future!"

Niu Liang took the graduation certificate and bowed to Teacher Yao: "Thank you, Teacher Yao!"

Teacher Yao: "Okay! Okay!

Niu Liang turned around and walked out of the office. When he came outside, he felt a sense of relief in his heart, and he was finally completely relieved! But he did not get carried away, but insisted on completing two more classes according to Teacher Yao's instructions, and it was not until noon that he quietly packed up his things and left the school. Only Liu Kun, Lin Xuan and Zhou Hui, the three best classmates, cast regretful and puzzled glances at him.

Niu Liang walked out of the school gate with a schoolbag on his back and a bicycle. When I came to the entrance of the street, I couldn't help but look back at the school gate. When he stared at the plaque that read "Beijing Tsinghua Middle School", a slight feeling of loss suddenly rose in his heart:

An era of one's own, a way of life is over forever!

After a long time, Niu Liang turned around, got on his bicycle, drove forward, and disappeared at the end of the street.
