Chapter 18 It is difficult to meet
When Hai Yueming and they were in middle school, there was a song called "Meeting After Twenty Years", which was quite popular at that time. The 25th anniversary of the graduation of Hai Yueming Middle School will bring everyone together with this theme and remember the beautiful youth years. Five years after graduating from high school, we had a party, but not many people attended. It's been exactly twenty years since the last meeting.
The location of the alumni reunion was chosen in a very famous homestay in Yandang Mountain.
Yandang Mountain, located in the south of Zhejiang Province, is a national key scenic spot, one of the first batch of five-A scenic spots, and one of the top ten famous mountains in China. Its Lingfeng, Lingyan and Dalongchuan are known as the "Three Uniques of Yandang". Yandang Mountain Scenic Area mainly refers to the North Yandang Mountain in Yueqing City, Wenzhou. It is named because "there is a lake on the top of the mountain, the reeds are thick, and the autumn geese live there".
Hai Yueming and John Wang took a car to Yandang Mountain together. On the way, when he was bored, Hai Yueming chatted with John Wang about things in middle school.
"Aren't you excited to meet the girl of your dreams?"
John Wang smiled and said, "How do you remember that incident?"
"Of course I remember, when you were in middle school, didn't you care very, very much about her? I've been thinking about it if you hadn't chosen not to go to high school in advance. Will you and her develop into a couple? Actually, she and you were quite close at that time!"
"Isn't that what she often asks you about her studies? That's when the two of us are inseparable every day. ”
"Then did you say she was trying to get close to you or to me?"
"I guess it's close to you. But you're a nerd, and you don't understand the world. ”
"But maybe she wanted to get close to you, and deliberately used me as an excuse to ask me about her studies. This is the so-called 'Ming Xiu Plank Road Darkness Chen Cang'. ”
"Alright, alright, don't make up my story in the same way that you're writing a novel again. ”
Two old classmates are bored on a journey, laughing and talking about the past, this is when we were young we didn't understand love, they recalled the past, of course, they can't restore the past is exactly what it is.
"It's just that she wanted to learn at that time. Besides, why didn't you confess at that time? When we were admitted to the key high school, you also said to me, you help me watch, and someone is chasing her to tell me that you are my eyes. Hai Yueming recalled the past and said with a smile.
Recalling the past, John Wang smiled. At least as a teenager, gorgeous has always been a dream he pursued.
"Yes, I wanted you to be my eyes. So now you and now I want you to do to continue my eyes. Listen to my arrangement, count it as a favor for me, and take care of the general affairs. John Wang turned the conversation to the goal he had always wanted to achieve.
"Stop, stop. This is not a no-no. I have my own principles for doing things. Besides, I'm temporary in Dongzhou, maybe I'll leave one day. Besides, your school is just too chaotic, and you can say it's as chaotic as you can. Hai Yueming refused, and immediately returned to the original topic, "Did you and Hualili meet again later?"
"After graduation, I still ran into her, but it was just a group of classmates playing together. Then. Because I just started a shoe-making business, the product export business was very good in those years, and I was busy with work every day, so how could I have time to talk about love. At that time, I still wanted to start a business first and then start a family, so I didn't think about it. Later, when I wanted to think about it, she had already left Dongzhou to go abroad. She is said to have gone to the United States. I'm still alone.
"Just the last time you said you were in the United States to reunite with her?"
"yes. I told her about the reunion. Tell her to come and get together, and she promises to come back. ”
"And then she came back to marry someone. Hai Yueming deliberately did not say whose name this person was, because at that party, King John said that Hua Lili would come back to marry him King John, and everyone who said it casually did not distinguish between truth and falsehood.
I said it casually. I don't know. John finally told the truth.
"Haha, why are you so bothered? Is this the so-called bitter love?'Once the sea was difficult to turn into water, but the supreme is not a cloud?''There are few willows blowing on the branches, and there is no fragrant grass at the end of the world?'" Hai Yueming casually recited a few lines of ancient poems.
"Nerd, don't say such a shitty verse to me!"
"Don't dare, don't dare, my class has an axe, how dare I show it off in front of Dr. Wang?"
"She's probably the prettiest girl in our class, right? ”
"Then I don't know about this, there is a saying called Xi Shi in the eyes of a lover. Hai Yueming quipped. "Is she really going to come this time?"
"I guess it's coming. The tickets are all booked. ”
"Oh, then you can relive the mandarin dream?" Hai Yueming asked curiously.
"I'm a person who still has a wife, and the tigress at home is very strict. ”
"You're Wu Song, right? Aren't all the bosses in Dongzhou very powerful? The red flag at home does not fall, but the colorful flags flutter outside? Although I have been in the field for so many years, I still know a little about my hometown. ”
"I haven't seen each other for more than 20 years, I don't know what it's like now?" Hai Yueming was also looking forward to a reunion with Huali.
"Don't worry, haven't you also seen the photos of your classmates? ”
"I'm the same, I'm looking forward to meeting again, but I'm afraid of meeting again. ”
"I'll see it when I get to the wild goose. John Wang then asked, "You want to see her too?" Later, I was a classmate of you for three years in high school, and you and she were classmates for six years, did you get along with her in high school?"
"What about that? Don't deceive a friend's wife. Oh, no, no, no, she's not a friend's wife yet, but I already knew it was your dream girl, how to develop with her. ”
"Haha, if you understand. ”
"Yandang Mountain is almost here, you can meet the lover of your dreams, and I can watch a good show. Although Hai Yueming regards himself as an outsider on the lips, he still longs to see this six-year-old classmate, after 20 years, what will be the scene when they meet again?
For John, who is busy with work every day, it seems like a luxury to be able to spare two and a half days to gather with his classmates in peace. Although it was he who proposed to organize this reunion, it coincided with the Canton Fair in the fall. During the Canton Fair, many of his important customers had to attend the fair, and he was designated to have an interview, so he only planned to go to Yandang Mountain on Friday, and flew directly from Yongqiang Airport in Wenzhou to Guangzhou on Saturday night. On Saturday, I spent a day touring the mountains and rivers with my classmates and sharing friendships.
Twenty-five years after graduating from secondary school, everyone is happy to see so many students. There are a lot of changes, looking at the traces of the years left on the face.
"Hey, why hasn't Lili arrived yet? Didn't you say that this afternoon's flight arrived? Will you rush to Yandang Mountain before dinner?" Some students asked out of concern that Hualili, who had come from afar to participate in the class reunion, had not yet arrived.
At dinner, the students saw that everyone had almost arrived, only Lili who flew from the United States had not yet arrived.
"The plane was delayed. It was more than nine o'clock in the evening to arrive at Yongqiang Airport. John Wang replied.
In order to catch the plane to Guangzhou at half past ten in the evening, John Wang asked his driver to take him to the airport after dinner, and he took Hai Yueming with him, just to pick up Lili to Yandang Mountain.
"I'm not going, right? You can still stage a reunion with your first love at the airport, how romantic is that? Didn't I go to be a light bulb?" Hai Yueming chatted with John Wang in the car.
"You have to go. Be my photographer. Take a picture of the beautiful moment when we meet again after a long absence. I'm really wronged, I just had a good impression of her when I was in school, and I never fell in love with her, and today my classmates say that she is my first love. Wait for a close-up of the next airport hug, you send it to the WeChat group for them to see. John Wang said generously.
"Okay, you're letting me be your eye again? I'm a photographer again. If you think it's inappropriate to say that she is your first love, then correct it, isn't it more appropriate to say that she is the lover of your dreams, or can I correct it for you in the class group?" asked Hai Yueming.
"Don't, don't engage in this kind of game where there is no silver three hundred taels here. ”
I waited at the airport until half past nine, and Lili's flight had not yet arrived. In fact, she had returned to China a few days earlier. I just went to Kunming to see her parents first, and I stayed with her parents for two days before I came over.
The radio reminded that the flight to Guangzhou was about to board. John Wang reluctantly walked to his gate. "You can help me meet her. Look at how she has changed, just as you are my eyes!"
Hai Yueming continued to stay in Kunming and arrived at the exit of the flight to Wenzhou.
John Wang had just left not far away, and Lili came out of the exit. Looking from afar, the tall figure, wearing a beige long coat, with waist-length hair, looks elegant, seeing Hai Yueming, opening his arms, two old classmates of twenty-five years hugged each other tightly.
In the distance, John Wang just turned around, and when he saw this wonderful scene, he felt a sour feeling in his heart.
John slowly disappeared into the crowd in the distance.
At this time, Hai Yueming felt that his old classmate Wang John was really not easy. has a successful career, is still so diligent and dedicated, very tired for the work, but also lamented the passage of time, twenty-five years have passed since graduating from middle school, everyone has changed from a young man to a middle-aged uncle and aunt who are not confused.
"Lili, John Wang has been waiting for you here just now, because he was about to catch the plane to Guangzhou, and he just left. He wants to see you, I'll take a picture of you, I'll send it to him. ”
"Okay, let's take a group photo and send it to him. Lili replied briskly, graciously holding Hai Yueming's arm.
John Wang's driver became a photographer for a while.
A photo of Lili smiling like a flower and Hai Yueming smiling was sent to John Wang. Hai Yueming added: Beauty is still there.
