Time flies, in the blink of an eye, the north wind blows the few dead leaves left on the trees to sway, the pedestrians on the road have put on cotton jackets, scarves, cotton hats, honeycomb coal stoves are lit in various offices in the teaching staff building of Jihong Middle School, in the first floor of the senior first grade group teaching staff office, Zeng Bixian, sitting at the desk, looked at the calendar cards hanging on the wall in a silent daze, the few remaining pages of calendar paper on the calendar cards in 1983 remind the owners who come here every day to tear the old year is coming to an end, and the new year is coming。

At noon last Sunday, the sudden visit of her boyfriend Xu Weiming startled Zeng Bixian, who was cleaning at home, and what her boyfriend said and did broke Zeng Bixian's quiet life in her hometown that she had just adapted to in her hometown.

Xu Weiming said in a letter last month that he would prepare for the graduate school entrance examination in the next three months, so Xu Weiming did not come to Huanggang to see Zeng Bixian for more than a month.

Xu Weiming, who was the president of the student union that year, and Xu Weiming, who was as proud as the pride of the sky, enjoyed a piano solo by Zeng Bixian on the stage of the university's "Freshman Gala", "Adhelina by the Sea" , a pair of eyes can no longer be removed from Zeng Bixian's body, because this wonderful performance and Zeng Bixian, who is already outstanding, has become a legend in the school overnight, and the love letters and confession letters received every day are endless, Zeng Bixian, who has just entered the university, is still young, and she has never considered anything about the love between men and women. I don't know when there was a rumor in the school that Xu Weiming, the president of the student union, pursued Zeng Bixian, Xu Weiming, who was handsome and had a good family, suddenly made Zeng Bixian's suitors who were like carp across the river retreat, and Zeng Bixian, who was a lot cleaner around him, was noncommittal about this rumor, as long as he could restore peace to his life, regardless of whether the rumor was true or not! I never thought that on the way back to the dormitory, in Xu Weiming's panicked confession, in the coaxing of the girls in the same dormitory beside him, Zeng Bixian, who didn't want to hurt Xu Weiming's self-esteem, nodded with a flushed face and agreed to Xu Weiming's true confession.

In the year he graduated from university, he accompanied Xu Weiming for the first and only time to his provincial party committee family compound in Guohu District, Wuchang District, where the provincial party committee family area is located, and all government officials and dignitaries live here. Although she knew that Xu Weiming's father was a bridge engineer in the Bridge Bureau and her mother was a department-level cadre in the Provincial Bureau of Statistics, Zeng Bixian felt sincerely uncomfortable when she walked into the cadre compound where Xu Weiming's house was located. That day at Xu Weiming's house, Xu Weiming's mother's almost exaggerated enthusiasm and almost performative politeness made Zeng Bixian feel like she was on pins and needles, and every time she remembered that she secretly saw Xu Weiming's mother repeatedly wiping the water cup and dishes she had drunk and used the dishes when she was not paying attention, Zeng Bixian's heart would be cold. Often a small detail or subtle action can move people's hearts and deepen the intimacy between the two, but on the contrary, it can also give rise to disgust and disgust.

Since that trip to Fruit Lake, Zeng Bixian refused Xu Weiming's request to stay in school, and resolutely returned to his hometown to become a teacher, thinking that the separation of the two places would gradually reduce Xu Weiming's enthusiasm for himself, but he didn't expect that every other week, Xu Weiming would take a long-distance bus for more than two hours to visit Jihong Middle School, looking at Xu Weiming, who came from afar, looking at himself with tenderness, Zeng Bixian's heart did not have the slightest joy, but felt that this was a burden, the world's difference between the two families made Zeng Bixian faintly feel that Xu Weiming's parents would not accept people from such a family。

Just when he was glad that Xu Weiming would not come to visit him for more than three months, maybe the feelings would fade a little bit, suddenly the energetic Xu Weiming appeared at the door of the house with a large bag of gifts, which made Zeng Bixian speechless for a long time, and his mother Teacher Zeng heard the movement in the living room and walked out of the study, and saw a handsome young man with an elegant temperament standing with his daughter, as if he understood something, he welcomed Xu Weiming to the sofa and sat down, and after a few words of greeting with Zeng Bixian's mother, Xu Weiming said openly and honestly that he suddenly took the liberty to visit because of the suddennessXu Weiming concealed that Zeng Bixian has applied for admission to several well-known universities in the United States, and recently received a reply from one of the universities, and the materials submitted by him have applied for a full scholarship, and he will go to the United States to study next spring, hoping that Zeng Bixian can follow him to apply for a visa within half a year and go to the United States with him to develop.

Teacher Zeng was very happy to hear the news, and Mr. Zeng, who had been resisting Zeng Bixian coming back to teach, felt that this was a good opportunity from God, and it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Immediately agreed to Xu Weiming's request, Xu Weiming happily put down the gift and returned to Wuhan, and the following Wednesday came to visit again and handed Zeng Bixian a lot of materials for her to prepare at home as soon as possible.

Soon this matter spread in the school, Huang Cheng stopped Zeng Bixian on the way home, Zeng Bixian did not dare to look Huang Cheng in the eyes for several days, there were too many questions in it that she could not answer. Tonight, when Huang Cheng stopped at the mouth of a secluded alley, Zeng Bixian knew what Huang Cheng wanted to ask herself?

"I know what you want to ask me, and I don't know how to answer you? I'm so annoyed and distracted, what do you think I'm going to do?"

"I just want to ask you, do you really want to go to the United States? If you go to the United States, it means that I, my grandmother, and my mother will never see you again, don't you think you are cruel? It is you who make us need you so much, like you, and can't do without you, but you leave us in the blink of an eye, and beat us back to our original shape, if you knew this, why did you come to provoke our family?"

"Huang Cheng, don't say that, I don't know that Xu Weiming suddenly offered to take me to the United States, and the people around me said that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, especially my mother, she very much hoped that I could accompany Xu Weiming to study in the United States, and she felt that I should not stay in such a small place and waste my youth. But if I go to the United States as an escort, the first thing is that I must marry Xu Weiming, and I have not considered whether to marry him or not!"

"Xu Weiming, your boyfriend? Do you like him, do you love him?"

"I don't know!"

"Do you like me?"

"We have a teacher-student relationship, I can only care about you, I can't like you! Besides, I'm older than you, don't you complicate the problem, okay?"

"I didn't think about it so much, I just simply like to be with you, liking a person is not considering the status, identity, age of both parties, if you mind the teacher-student relationship then I won't study, if you are not my teacher, then we can like each other openly and brightly, you don't love that Xu Weiming at all, if you love him, you should be happy instead of hesitant now!"

"I'm really conflicted now, and going to the United States will be three months later, give me some time to think about it, it's not too early, go home early!"

"Well, come to my house on Sunday, this Sunday is grandma's birthday, grandma misses you!"

"Okay, I'll go, I'll buy grandma a birthday cake!"

The long-lost smile overflowed at the corners of the mouths of the two, Huang Cheng couldn't help but reach out and hugged Zeng Bixian in his arms, as if he had been looking forward to it for a long time, Zeng Bixian did not resist this time, the boy in front of him had an indescribable temperament that deeply attracted him, maybe it was that night in the printing room that he deeply felt Huang Cheng's love for him, and now his body couldn't help but respond, he didn't see Huang Cheng's figure for a day, he felt lost, his soul was not gone, and his heart was empty, such an emotion was an emotion that he had never experienced, and he unconsciously searched for Huang Cheng in the crowd every day from the moment he entered the schoolSeeing him happily riding a bicycle into the school, his mood will also be happy, I really didn't expect one person to have such a big impact on another person.

At noon on Sunday, Zeng Bixian bought a box of cream cakes in the sales department of the second food factory, bought a little fruit, and came to Huang Cheng's house with a gift, and did not see Zeng Bixian's grandmother for half a month was very happy to bring Zeng Bixian into the house, shushing the cold and asking for warmth, as soon as he heard Zeng Bixian's voice, Huang Cheng hurriedly walked out of the room, Huang Cheng's mother was still sitting at the piano playing something alone, and the dining table in the corner of the living room was already full of a table of sumptuous dishes.

Today is grandma's 65th birthday, grandma is very happy, take out Huang Cheng's father Mid-Autumn Festival sent a bottle of Xifeng liquor, picture a happy to pour a small glass of each person, Huang Cheng has been around his father since he was a child, is a master of drinking, mother and grandma The amount of alcohol is also amazing, but Zeng Bixian is a person who has never been drunk since childhood, under the persuasion of grandma, he unconsciously drank three small glasses of liquor, a meal has not been eaten Zeng Bixian lay on the table, grandma and Huang Cheng helped the unconscious Zeng Bixian to Huang Cheng's room to let her lie down and rest, and the two continued to go out to eat。

After being full of wine and food, my mother and grandmother went back to their rooms to take a nap, and Huang Cheng, who was already slightly drunk, pushed the door into the bedroom and prepared to go to bed, and suddenly remembered Zeng Bixian who was asleep on the bed, and her heartbeat accelerated inexplicably. Shaking to the side of the bed, I saw Zeng Bixian, whose cheeks were crimson, lying on her bed with frowns, as if in a dream, Huang Cheng leaned over to the bed, staring at Zeng Bixian's sleeping face without blinking, I don't know if it was true or false, Huang Cheng shook his head and reached out to touch the beloved person in front of him with an angelic face, when his fingertips touched the smooth forehead, smooth skin, thick hair, the impulse of youth hormones was really difficult to suppress, Huang Cheng unscrewed the quilt and lay down beside Zeng Bixian.
