"Hello. Xu Jianchuan's face was calm, and he said two words lightly.

These two words exceeded my expectations.

"Old school reunion, you dress so shabby, you come to eat in this kind of place. You're not ashamed, I'm ashamed. Please, take care of our emotions. Xu Wanting said in a contemptuous tone: "It's okay, I didn't get back together with you back then." Looking at the way you look now, I know I made the right choice. ”

Xu Jianchuan was not angry, and replied, "How could you be wrong, I am the one who is wrong." ”

Xu Wanting said in a lofty tone, "Whoever wants him to sit with me, I will leave." ”

Xu Jianchuan's face was still so calm, and he sat directly next to me. He looked at me and said, "I won't affect your appetite!"

I said, "If you don't come, I won't have an appetite." ”

"After so many years, you still want to be my tablemate!"

Xu Wanting sneered: "What kind of person you should be with again." This is called the gathering of likes. At the beginning, you were at the same table, and you were also at the end of the crane. Now, when you get together, it's the same. ”

The others listened and laughed.

Xu Wanting shouted: "Hongjiao, how can you be in the same league with them, you are a scholar." ”

Hongjiao smiled: "That's all in the past." ”

Xu Wanting asked me, "This classmate, what are you doing?" ”

I didn't want to bother with him, but out of politeness, I replied, "Unemployed." ”

Xiao Xiao was about to say something, but was stopped by my eyes.

Xu Wanting saw that I was so embarrassed, and said with a smile: "It's expected." ”

The crowd laughed too.

Hongjiao asked in a low voice, "Why don't you say you're a doctor." ”

"What is there to say. In their eyes, I shouldn't be like that. I looked at all this in front of me and said, "This is my classmate!"

Miao Hao saw that the atmosphere was embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Everyone is an old classmate, come and come, drink and eat." ”

When Xu Wanting was studying, she was the school flower. From the way she dresses and dresses, it can also be known that in recent years, she has mixed well. A few years ago, I didn't cross paths with her. A few years later, I didn't want to cross paths with her either.

Xu Jianchuan graduated from junior high school and cut off contact with us, and we don't know how he mixes. However, looking at Xu Jianchuan's dress and dress, he knew that he didn't mix very well. But, I believe, he is the boy I know well, he will not give up on himself, he is not here to be humiliated.

Many classmates revolved around Xu Wanting, and every topic was biased towards her. Some of the students here are married, some already have children, and some even have children in kindergarten. They talk about jobs, income, and children.

Many people don't come to miss their youth, but with a lot of purpose. As for what their purpose is, it couldn't be more obvious.

I found that I couldn't fit in with them at all, and I always felt like the school days were gone. Xu Jianchuan raised his glass and saluted me, "In order to celebrate, we got together again at the end of the crane and had a drink." ”

"Good. I picked up my glass and drank it down.

Xiao Xiao and Hongjiao also came to join in the fun.

There are thirty-five students in this room, and there are very few people who can become friends. Jian Chuan and I both felt that each other was superfluous. But we are people with ID cards, and no matter how unpalatable this meal is, we can't leave early.

At this moment, Jian Chuan and I have returned to that era of isolation.

Xu Jianchuan and I were originally the tracks on the train, and there will never be parallel lines that intersect. In terms of learning, he is the second from the bottom, and I am the third from the bottom. We took on the bottom two or three of the class, and we were also the ones who dragged our feet. We did not sympathize with each other because of each other's tragic fate. On the contrary, we will not say a word.

Because of the Himana Hokage, we began to have a crossover. It was also because of the Riman Hokage that he and I gradually became friends. His favorite characters are always cold and wounded. I like people who have great love in their hearts. We like different characters, but that doesn't stop us from being friends.

Later, we became table mates, which strengthened our friendship even more.

Because he became a tablemate, his hobbies were well known to me. During class, I was distracted and in a daze, thinking about unrealistic and unreal things. He either reads novels or sleeps.

For those of us who are holding back, as long as it does not affect class discipline and does not disturb classmates. The class teacher and the classroom teacher will always choose to turn a blind eye and leave us to fend for ourselves. We are also willing to accept this arrangement and choose to fend for ourselves.

Gradually, we were labeled, and he and I were also isolated from the group.

One day, I asked, "Why don't you study hard." ”

"You think I look like a reader?" he said, gesturing to his own fabrile face.

I don't have to look to know where he looks like a reader.

He asked me, "Why don't you study hard?" ”

"Books, what is the use of reading too much. "At that time, I was in the rebellious period. In my life, I also faced a big problem, that is, whether reading is useful or useless.

He said with certainty, "Of course it works! The power of knowledge is enormous." You forget, knowledge changes fate. ”

I rolled my eyes, he didn't study well, and he actually persuaded me with big truths.

He also felt that he was not qualified to say this sentence and end the topic appropriately, after all, we are all people at the end of the crane.

I said, "Instead of spending time on these unrealistic textbooks, it's better to grow up asleep and come to your senses." ”

"You choose to break the jar and break it. The language is given up, and it is also obtained. ”

"The language is the Chinese language, how can you give up. I added, "The Chinese language is very useful." The novels you read, the Chinese language is not good, you can't write it. ”

"You show it. He said: "In order to live up to your literary skills, you are responsible for my love letters." ”

"Your love letter, I am responsible. I scolded, "Get out." ”

He grinned and said, "This is to exercise your writing." ”

I scolded, "Fuck off, don't talk to me." ”

One day, Xu Jianchuan said that he liked someone, but he didn't know how to confess to the other party. I laughed at him and said, "Tell you to learn Chinese well, you prefer to read novels and sleep." When the book is used, there is little hatred. ”

He looked at me and didn't say a word.

I saw something in that look and gagged him, "Don't hit me. ”

When he saw that I refused, he didn't give up, "You help me write love letters, and I invite you to eat spicy noodles." ”

"I have a bottom line, no. ”

"Two packs. ”

"Five packs. ”

"You ask me for ten packs of spicy strips, and I'll think about it. "I was not satisfied with the number he said, so I directly quoted a number.

He hesitated for a moment and said bitterly, "For the sake of love, I agreed." ”

"Give spicy strips first, and then talk about love letters. ”

"No righteousness. ”

Also, from this day on, I used my Chinese language and earned a lot of snacks. It's not that my writing isn't good enough, it's that the girl he likes doesn't mean anything to him. The other party didn't read it, so he returned the love letter to him intact.

This guy has shown perseverance, refuses to admit defeat, and has a thick-skinned spirit. The other party still ignored it.

One day, a few classmates made an appointment to go out. Xu Wanting was also invited. This kid is courteous everywhere, trying in vain to impress the other party. Maybe this kid is too thick-skinned and annoys the other party. Xu Wanting pointed to the river and said with a smile: "If you dare to jump, I will promise you." ”

Xu Wanting's intention was to want him to retreat.

However, people who are in love have zero IQ. This kid's IQ is literally hundreds of degrees below zero. On such a cold day, without the slightest hesitation, he jumped into the river with a plop. He jumped desperately for love, but in exchange for a major demerit and probation. He became a celebrity in the whole school, and he was also the object of ridicule and ridicule from teachers and students.

After this blow, he was a different person. However, what remains unchanged is that he still does not like to learn.

On the Chinese test paper of the mock exam again, he wrote a very domineering sentence, 'I want to prove to you that if I don't study, I will live well in this world.' ’

However, after the roll was sent down, there were only four words on it... Have one's head in the clouds. His words were hit badly. I admired his audacity and courage.

In this class, he is the only one who can say unashamed words. He's the only one who doesn't take simulation seriously.

His actions also affected me. We were called to the office by the head teacher and reprimanded.

Leaving the office, he stopped and said to me very seriously, "Brother, we can't go on like this. You have to study hard and prove that you are malleable. ”

I touched his forehead to make sure that the other party did not have a fever, how could he talk nonsense.

He said seriously, "They say we're garbage, garbage. This kind of humiliation must not be tolerated. ”

He was right, being called garbage and rubbish by others must not be tolerated. We need to prove to them that we are not garbage, let alone garbage. However, to prove ourselves, we have to change our fate as the tail of the crane.

In their eyes, there are only achievements. As long as you have good grades, you can prove yourself.

"Brother, I can understand your feelings, but..."

"We're the tail of the crane, yes, but we're also men. Man, how can you be so humiliated? Anything can be lost, backbone, ambition, can't be lost. The backbone and ambition are lost, and he is still a man. ”

When I remembered what the teacher said, I was also angry. On what basis they judge our lives, and on what basis do they think that we are garbage, garbage? Just because we don't get good grades.

He added, "There are two paths before us. One is to fend for itself in their ridicule. The other is that we hit them back with results. ”

I said, "You're going to choose that path." ”

"I choose the first, you choose the second. ”

"Why. ”

"You can read, but you don't want to. I wanted to read it, but I couldn't. In the way of learning proof, it will be left to you. ”

He threw me the hardest way, and I asked, "What about you?"

"I will use my success to tell them that I can also have a beautiful life at the end of the crane. I would also tell them that good or bad grades don't determine our lives. ”

"This—" I don't know how to answer. Do we really have to use different paths and different lives to prove them wrong? Wouldn't this price be too great?

"People must fight for a breath when they live, otherwise, it is a great sorrow to live. His eyes lit up with anger and he said, "I believe that we can all have a beautiful life." ”

He is right, people live to fight for a breath. The division commander said that we were garbage, waste, and we had no interest when we grew up. They use their achievements to negate our present and even our future. As men, if we want to prove ourselves, we have to fight back against them in the way they feel is right.

"Okay, I agreed. I looked at him and said firmly, "Bet on your youth." ”

"We're betting on our youth. He said: "Use the rest of our lives to prove whether reading is useful or useless." ”

At this moment, I look at him and think back to the words he said that year. Our lives are different and our trajectories are different. However, I believe that neither he nor I are losers. Because, we are betting on our youth.

It was the longest and most unhappy meal I've ever had. But thinking of Xu Jianchuan, Hongjiao and Xiao Xiao, this meal is the most meaningful I have eaten. At this moment, I grew. I have seen a lot of people and understood many things. I suddenly understood that the reunion of old classmates is not missing youth.

Why some people are really just classmates, that's all.
