The graduate school entrance examination peaked and turned around, and Huang Jinzi was even happier than Qiao Nan, she had already planned her future life excitedly: "You came to Beijing to study for two years as a graduate student, and after graduation, apply for your Hong Kong garrison, and it just so happens that I can also be sent to Hong Kong." With this resume in Hong Kong, it will definitely be very beneficial to your career in the future, and I can apply for an MBA from HKU, and I can finish it in time for expatriation, and I don't miss anything, which is really perfect. ”

Qiao Nan just has a glimmer of hope for the postgraduate entrance examination, but Huang Jinzi has even planned for the next four or five years. This is really in line with her character, she can do the most delicate planning for everything.

Qiao Nan was really not so excited, he even poured a bucket of cold water on Jinzi: "Even if I graduate from graduate school, I may not be able to go to Hong Kong!"

"What kind of thing is this? Beijing is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, especially your troops, and if you take one of them, it will be a heavyweight. As long as you follow the right person, do you still have a way out after graduation?"

In Qiao Nan's eyes, it was more difficult than ascending to the sky, and he was embarrassed to open his mouth when he died, but in the eyes of Huang Jinzi, it was nothing.

Qiao Nan smoked a lot of cigarettes and always felt that something was wrong.

One night when he was flipping through the book, he suddenly thought that the two really didn't say anything about love, so why did they plan to live in the future?

Qiao Nan broke out in a cold sweat, and he realized that he had already made his situation very passive.

Qiao Nan's graduate school entrance examination is almost a certainty, some of his comrades-in-arms are envious, some are reluctant, but no one is unconvinced. After all, people's strength is there, they can be literate and martial, and they can even be technicians, who will he test?

And one thing they couldn't understand was, why was Qiao Nan still preoccupied?

His good brother Zhao Yu is also not happy, and in recent times, his promotion has not been smooth, and his relationship has also gone wrong.

His girlfriend's parents didn't want them to have a relationship, and even his girlfriend said, "My dad said that your unit has a high casualty rate, and maybe there will be an accident one day." I broke up with you, not because I didn't love you, but because I was particularly worried about losing you. If that day did, I can't imagine how I would spend the rest of my life.

Zhao Yu often said that he was from the beautiful place in the south of the Yangtze River, and often talked about "Jiangdong's children are talented". A Jiangdong talent like him can't swear. But on the night when his girlfriend was about to break up, he scolded one country at a time, if it was a little more picturesque, this paragraph should be disposed of with "beep-" throughout the whole process.

Qiao Nan often dislikes him for being open-mouthed on the Internet, and he is a little gentle when he leads the troops, but this does not prevent the two from being good friends for so many years. Fundamentally, they are all the same kind of people, diligent, not playful, and even suffering from an innocence that should not be at this age.

At this sad moment, Zhao Yu can still congratulate his good brother on the entrance examination, which can really be regarded as a blessing for tears.

No matter when, it is rare to be able to congratulate your friends from the bottom of your heart on their achievements and empathize with their friends' pains, right? Since he was in military school, Qiao Nan has cherished this friendship very much, and Zhao Yu should think the same way!

When Zhao Yu was hovering on the verge of falling out of love, Huang Jinzi's offensive became more and more violent, she sent Qiao Nan several messages from her mentor, telling him to contact her mentor as soon as possible and behave positively, "Pave the road that should be paved in advance, so that it won't go wrong in the end, you know?"

Huang Jinzi is like a seasoned lifer, guiding Qiao Nan in all aspects. Qiao Nan knew that she was doing it for his own good, but he realized more and more clearly that he didn't like this sophistication very much.

One night, he wanted to talk to Zhao Yu, but overheard his voice on the phone: "The quota for the postgraduate entrance examination is almost set, how can I find someone?...... Mom, you're thinking too simply...... Eighty percent of the quota is going to be given to my good brother, how can I rob him?...... My marriage is important, but other people's are not important?...... Don't ask me that question anymore, I... I just want to do it in the army, what's the matter?...... Don't say my grandma again...... Okay, okay, got it, you can find it. ”

Qiao Nan didn't talk to him again, and in the next few days, he often saw Zhao Yu wandering outside various offices, that hesitant but unwilling look, he really didn't look like a qualified social person.

Huang Jinzi sent a message again, this time it was some house buying policies for military cadres, and I don't know where she got it from.

Qiao Nan is an unfamiliar social person, but he is not a fool, he is not unaware of those preferential policies, and he even has a preliminary plan to buy a house. But the fact that Jin Jinzi had sent these things made him deeply suspicious.

Qiao Nan replied to her tactfully: "Jinzi, step by step, wait for me to be admitted to graduate school first." ”

Huang Jinzi replied: "Everything has to be planned in advance! Plan early, and you won't suffer." ”

Qiao Nan agreed with this truth, he did not refute it again, nor did he reply again, but turned off his mobile phone tiredly.

It may be that he is hallucinating, and he feels that Zhao Yu is hanging outside again. Like himself, Zhao Yu also belongs to an unfamiliar social person, and he is still very unfamiliar with the rules of survival in this society.

In the two years after graduating, they are not much different from the average young person. Carefully look at the leader's face, and even figure out which leader is better to talk to, and who will be more promising. If you can do this, you can be regarded as entering the door of society, right?

Next, they unnaturally echo what is said from above, gradually hiding their emotions, and even if they are tired and tired, they can go to work with fighting spirit. So far, they've been able to do it here. The more social ones have not yet learned, or have never been applied.

Therefore, when seeing his friends wandering, Qiao Nan felt sad again and again. He felt that his friend's appearance was really unaccustomed.

Even the golden son, he felt strange.

At the beginning of September, he changed his dormitory once, and he had too many books, so he called two little soldiers to help him sort them out. A little soldier suddenly holds a photo and asks him if the girl in the photo is a big star.

Qiao Nan took it and took a look, it was a photo from a long time ago, when they ate hot pot for the first time, she took a group photo with a digital camera, and later sent it to him. In the photo, she still has short hair and a fresh and bright smile, which is indeed not lost to any star.

This is the only photo of the two together!

Qiao Nan put the photo away, and it was already early autumn outside the window. It's been a turn all year round, I don't know how she's doing now?

To be honest, he wants to hear the story of the girl in the photo more than those graduate school entrance examination policies and officers' housing purchase policies. How she drank milk tea with her Mongolian grandmother, how she listened to Dongbula in the old town of Kashgar, she wandered in the Middle East, and she also worked as a little match girl in Northern Europe. Her mind is still full of all kinds of wild ideas.

Her nose bubbles when she cries, and her eyes bend into a small moon when she laughs. Her voice is low when she is gentle, and when she tells stories, she dances with her hands.

It turns out that I remember every bit of her so clearly. Qiao Nan flipped out the photo again and sighed from the bottom of his heart.

If they live with her, one day, they will also worry about work, quarrel over where to buy a school district house, rack their brains for which kindergarten their children will attend, worry about their parents' pension problems, and give up their innocence for all kinds of unsatisfactory life and become a qualified social person.

That day will always come, but Qiao Nan hopes that that day will come slowly, even if both of them are novices in society, but they stumble and make noise, it will be very interesting!

In those years, there was a very popular TV series called "Surrender Like a Naïve Girl". Qiao Nan doesn't like the word "surrender" very much, but if its object is a "naïve girl", Qiao Nan is willing to accept it.

But he put the picture away and told himself, stop dreaming.

Zhao Yu has been avoiding him for the past two days, probably because his family gave him some tricks. Zhao Yu was very distressed, he didn't want to grab his brother's postgraduate examination place, and he didn't want to be looked down upon by the soldiers under him. But for him, where is the better way out than the graduate school entrance examination?

He even comforted himself, Qiao Nan has outstanding abilities and has done a good job in the army, he is not only on the road of graduate school entrance examination. So, even if you give it to yourself, it's not a big deal, right?

But people always have shame, even if they think about it ten thousand times, Zhao Yu doesn't have the face to say it.

The registration time is getting closer and closer, after receiving a few emails, Qiao Nan thought about it seriously, and finally made up his mind that he would not take the exam this year and let Zhao Yu go all out.

Zhao Yu felt that he was dreaming: "No, right? How rare is this opportunity, you actually said that you don't want it?"

Qiao Nan smiled: "No one said that this opportunity must be mine!"

"That'...... It's not your style to give up like this!"

"If I say that I am full of nostalgia for this place, will you think that I am fake?"

Zhao Yu shook his head decisively: "These words came out of your mouth, I don't think it's fake at all." ”

Qiao Nan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Prepare well! ”

Zhao Yu still held back 10,000 whys in his heart, but Qiao Nan said that this was not just a simple opportunity to give him, he had his own considerations, and he didn't have to be grateful to him.

Qiao Nan walked a few steps, turned back, and said to Zhao Yu: "When we competed in the military academy, I was injured, and it was you who carried my bags and finished the last section. ”

“…… Do you remember those old things?"

"Thinking about it now, it was really pure at that time, just running desperately for one goal. When we fight side by side, it's also pure. When I think about that, I think it would be nice if I could be so pure all the time. ”

Qiao Nan left, but Zhao Yu stayed where he was for a long time. Qiao Nan used his chic to preserve his dignity, so that he didn't have to think of other ways to get this rare opportunity.

Qiao Nan hoped that they could be pure forever, he was really a naïve idealist.

However, no matter how naïve he is, Zhao Yu has decided to be naïve with him for the time being!

After talking to Zhao Yu, Qiao Nan decisively called Jinjinzi and told her that he had decided not to take the postgraduate entrance examination this year.

Huang Jinzi was incredulous, and suddenly collapsed: "Why? Didn't we all say it? You go back on your word like this, what should we do with our plan?"

"Jinzi, I have a lot of ideas that I haven't sorted out yet, and going to Beijing like this is likely to hurt us. Qiao Nan was surprisingly calm at this time: "I don't think we are suitable for lovers." I really shouldn't say that first, but I don't want to delay you any longer...... I'm already too far behind you. ”
