Obtain a student status, the burden is light, and the opportunity to be bored and regenerated

In 92, he passed the adult college entrance examination, and Ling Feng and Zhili both made up for their school status. Ling Feng's score was 323 points, while Zhili's score was 283 points. Ling Feng was not satisfied with this result, because there was a certain gap between this score and the score to be achieved before the exam, and compared with last year's score, the score was not very high. Dissatisfaction is not dissatisfied, after all, it is to obtain a student status, and there is no surprise when you have a student status, but there is an unspeakable pain without a student status.

After two years of adult college entrance examinations, the number of students in Ling Feng's class has plummeted, and the salary has also declined. First, there was no electronic teaching, then televisions, tape recorders, speakers, and single players all moved out of the classrooms, and finally the classes moved out of the large classrooms in the labor bureau building.

Life at the University is different from high school life, the mainstream of high school is naturally studying, and if you have ignorance, you can only suppress and fantasize. During the period of the university, learning seemed to become secondary, and the need for emotion was presented in an unrestrained and bursting state. Ling Feng had personally experienced how the boys in the class were secretly plotting and scrambling to distribute the girls in the class, and had witnessed the simple and lovely boys attacking their targets with a brave and single-minded energy, either attacking the city or breaking their heads. All of this, Ling Feng naturally watched from the wall, thinking that he already belonged in his heart and disdained disputes, which was a feeling of superiority. The good times didn't last long, Ling Feng's emotions fell from the high clouds into the deep pool of water, no one came to comfort him, and he couldn't cry humbly, so he could only let his broken heart sway alone in the painful dark night.

During those days, Ling Feng was accompanied by the radio programs of the provincial station late at night, and one of the "Melody of Youth" was extremely popular. There were many lonely boys and girls like Ling Feng, who wrote letters to the radio station and showed their personality and hobbies through the airwaves, so as to make like-minded young friends inside and outside the province. Ling Feng, who had nothing to do, also wrote a few letters, planning to make a few pen pals to relieve the depression in his heart, but the letters sent by Ling Feng were like a stone sinking into the sea, and the message of asking for friends was not broadcast on the radio. At this moment, new news came from the airwaves, saying that there were too many letters eager to make friends, and they couldn't meet them one by one, and they planned to publish an address book of "Friends in the Air" so that more and more boys and girls who were eager to make friends could be included, and then mail it to everyone. In this way, young friends who like to make friends can choose their own address through the address book.

The planning and assumption of the radio station are good, but after Ling Feng received "Friends in the Air", he did not receive a single letter from his friends, but received several advertising letters and letters asking for help, golden chains and the like. The plan to make friends failed, and Ling Feng, who still felt lonely, could only devote all his energy to studying.

There is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book. Ling Feng passed the test in his studies, and gradually became the core of the exam in the class, whether he graduated independently or passed the unified examination, wherever Ling Feng sits, he must be surrounded by classmates. Ling Feng is not stingy, he can help.

In the golden autumn of October, Hong Hao, a classmate of the University of Electrical Engineering, had a treat at the house of another classmate of the University of Electrical Engineering, Yao Nan. The four or five classmates who have made friends at Lingfeng Electric University have become closer and closer because they have always been studying, and they often get together.

"Today, first of all, I would like to thank Yao Nan for facilitating this gathering. Hong Hao made an opening remark first.

Ling Feng finished a glass of beer, put it down and filled it again. Ling Feng has long been familiar with and adapted to this adult drinking method among the students of the University of Electronic Technology.

"Let's come together to have a cup of Honghao and congratulate my brother on finding a job. Yao Nan politely replied and explained the reason for the gathering.

It's a great thing to get a job. Ling Feng and his classmates have already reached a consensus that the so-called distribution of unemployed young people after graduation is pure nonsense, and it is nothing more than to enroll more students.

"What unit?" A student from the University of Electric Power couldn't wait to ask.

"Towngas. Honghao's tone was also full of joy.

"That's a good unit, it's a company directly under the city. "When will I be hired, why don't I know?" "Honghao, you are not interesting enough, you secretly went to the exam by yourself. ”……

Listening to the gossip of his classmates, Ling Feng's heart was in turmoil, and the grievances and envy of his classmates pierced his heart. Yes, the relationship is usually not bad, why don't you tell me? Such a good opportunity is lost, what do you usually do? Listen to the radio and watch TV every day, why did you miss such important news?

"It's all my fault, I thought you all knew about such a hot job posting. Honghao stood up and bowed to everyone as he spoke.

Yes, how can you blame Honghao? If you don't do your job, who can you blame if you don't know the recruitment information. Moreover, in the face of competition, it is understandable to be selfish.

"Ling Feng, we are going to Changchun for an internship at the end of this month, and I have to ask you for the final exam. Hong Hao pulled Ling Feng's chaotic thoughts back to the wine table.

"You can rest assured about the exam, Yaonan and I will help you find a way. "Ling Feng has a grudge in his heart, but he can't lose his buddy affection.

"How long will it take to do an internship, and when will you be back?" Yao Nan asked while beckoning everyone to eat vegetables.

"Three months, I can come back at the end of the year, and I can go to work after the New Year. "Honghao is full of longing.

"I heard that the gas company is still under construction. "Then you kid won't be a patriarch. ” ……

There was another round of talk.

Ling Feng and his classmates at the University of Electric Power originally didn't talk much, but today they were even more depressed, and they just lowered their heads and drank.

"By the way, Ling Feng, there is a letter from you here, which was handed over to me by Ban Ren yesterday, and I almost forgot it. Yao Nan said and handed over a letter.

Ling Feng knew that Yao Nan was close to Ban Ren, and he was not surprised at all that Ban Ren asked Yao Nan to hand over the letter.

"I'm afraid it's a gold chain or something. Ling Feng took the letter mockingly.

"Not this time, look at the words, how beautiful, it must be the girl's handwriting. "The sharp-eyed classmates have sharp eyes.

"I don't think it's like it, it turns out that those letters are quite thick, this letter is thin, and I haven't received a letter for more than half a year, right?" Yao Nan also lost no time in expressing his opinion.

"Ling Feng, one day you borrowed your "Friends in the Air" to use with your buddy, and you wasted resources just waiting for others to write letters to you. ”

"Lend me a look, too, and I'll have a pen pal or something. ”

"What do you know, our brothers have no shortage of friends of the opposite sex, do you remember the college entrance examination cram school on the seventh floor of the Labor Bureau Building? The most beautiful one in the class, the one who looks like a Hong Kong and Taiwan star, came to our class to find our brother. ”

"Who in our class, what happened to you at the prom? ”

"Brothers, let me break the news with you, last week I went to Jiangbin New Area with Ling Feng to help his mother-in-law's family change the liquefied gas. ”

……

After a while, the topic shifted from Hong Hao to Ling Feng.

Ling Feng didn't refute, because he knew that these students were in the stage of yearning for the opposite sex. Usually together, the opposite sex is an unavoidable topic, not to mention that they are not groundless, but there are just some personal inferences and conjectures.

At the same time, Ling Feng also faintly felt in his heart that this letter was a little different from the letters he had received in the past, was it really a friendship letter?

The wine is getting stronger, people are drunk, and the topics are disturbing and tugging at the heartstrings. Ling Feng finally couldn't hold back his curiosity, and opened the letter under the pretext of going out.

Ling Feng:

Hello, nice to meet you. Recently, I met "Friends in the Air" at a friend's place, and I appreciate your friendship heart, whether you can go to the mountains to find a clear spring together, and forget me about jasmine.

Finally, I wish you good health and a happy life.

Morning dew

29 September 1992

Ling Feng returned home and found the address book of "Friends in the Air", flipped through it from beginning to end, and did not find the name Chenlu.

"Is it really like the letter said that I saw "Friends in the Air" from a friend?" Ling Feng didn't dare to slack off, although the other party's letter was short but quite literate, how should he reply to it? Ling Feng changed his draft several times, repeating his words until late at night.
