Text Chapter 4 The Words of the Long Years

When Hai Yueming followed John Wang into the hotel box, almost all the old classmates who had come to lunch had arrived, and when he saw Hai Yueming, who had not seen him for many years, he naturally had to say hello, and the atmosphere in the room was full of enthusiasm, which deeply infected Hai Yueming, who had returned to his hometown after many years abroad.

Of course, the most during the banquet was to talk about the bits and pieces of their student days, and the unforgettable memories of those long years made them seem to return to those long years, that green years full of longing and yearning for life and the future.

"When I used to study, Mr. Wang John Wang was a celebrity in our school! In today's words, it's an 'Internet celebrity'! He's also very low-key now, otherwise he's also an Internet celebrity now. "The classmates took John Wang as a topic during the wine staggering, Lin Cong was also an activist when he was in school, and he had a lot of jokes during the banquet.

"Now you can't call him Mr. Wang, you have to call him Dr. Wang, referred to as 'Wang Bo'!" said Tang Shaofeng, a member of the sports committee. This 'Wang Bo' sounds really awkward, the pronunciation is too similar to the one-time pronunciation of 'Wang Ba' in the Dongzhou dialect, it is exactly the same, everyone laughs when they hear it.

"Don't, don't, don't call it that, Old Tang!" John Wang immediately stopped Tang Shaofeng.

"You're really studying for a doctorate, what are you polite about? It's really right to call you Wang Bo!" Tang Shaofeng explained, In fact, everyone felt that calling him Wang Bo like this sounded funny, who would have expected that this title of Wang Bo would spread among his classmates, and later became a fixed title for Wang John.

The students thought it was funny, a tyrant like John Wang would go to study for a doctorate, and this student who was tired of school would change his ways and sit quietly in the classroom to study? Hai Yueming also heard for the first time that John Wang was studying for a doctorate, and he had only heard that he was an MBA from the Yellow River Business School, and that school was just a place for a group of entrepreneurs and other successful people to communicate, and it is said that some presidents still brought their secretaries to attend classes. Some of the homework and papers are done by the secretary. Nothing is strange in today's world, it is not strange that Hai Yueming also smiled faintly when he heard that John Wang was studying for a doctorate, as if nothing had happened.

"My Ph.D. is not from the United States, my Ph.D. was from the Philippines. What are you laughing at? Don't think that I used to be a scumbag when I was studying, and I can't compare with a scholar like Hai Yueming. But I am Hai Yueming's tablemate, and I sit next to him every day, and I have also cultivated his bookishness. John Wang laughed and joked with his classmates.

"I have a lower education than you, so I can't educate you!" Hai Yueming replied with a smile. "But I remember that after that heroic incident, your study attitude is much more serious, and your grades have improved a lot, and the head teacher said that you can be admitted to high school!"

"Which heroic incident?" Li Bing interjected.

"What else? It was the time when John almost broke the iron rod during the recess exercise! Look, the scar on the bridge of his nose is still there!" Tang Shaofeng interrupted Li Bing's words.

"Yes, this time I saw Wang Bo again at the Beijing airport and recognized him by the scar on the bridge of his nose. I haven't seen him for decades, his hair is gray, he's fat, and I can't even recognize him without this scar. Hai Yueming naturally blurted out that John Wang was Wang Bo, as if everyone had called him that for a long time, and he said it seriously, no one knew if he really recognized John Wang by his scars or made fun of him.

"Wang Bo is really a model of 'living and learning to be old'. Tang Shaofeng's mouth couldn't be idle, and his ability to insert stitches was really powerful.

"If I had been studying so hard at that time, I would have chased the most beautiful female classmate in the class. The most beautiful female classmate in the class Hai Yueming refers to is Huali, this beautiful and lively and lovely girl, who was the crush and dream lover in the hearts of many male classmates who were just starting to fall in love at that time. It's just that Lili at that time especially liked to study Hai Yueming, intentionally or unintentionally, she always pestered Hai Yueming with questions, asked about mathematics and English, asked English and asked physics, only one of them asked about physical hygiene, if she didn't feel embarrassed, so her classmates would occasionally coax, saying that they were a couple, in love, Hai Yueming laughed and ignored it. And Hai Yueming is very old-fashioned, and he wants to be admitted to a key high school, so he doesn't put his mind on these idleness. In addition, people at that time were much more conservative in their thinking than they are now, and the interaction between male and female classmates was often confined to the school, and there was little interaction outside the school.

Speaking of gorgeousness, it is actually a heart disease in John Wang's heart. He had chased Huali intentionally or unintentionally, but Huali was long-sleeved and easy to dance at a young age, and there was no development when he was close to Hai Yueming here, and he also got along with Wang John like a good friend, but he didn't accept his feelings.

Huali is a member of the literary and artistic committee in the class, singing beautifully, nicknamed "lark", because her parents are cadres, the tutor is still relatively strict, but she just wants to take the actor's exam, and her academic performance is still good, With the mind of the art exam, the grades will be pulled down, Fortunately, she is easy to ask, especially often ask Hai Yueming about his homework, and finally was admitted to a key high school, and Hai Yueming became a classmate.

"Doesn't the most beautiful female classmate mean gorgeous, right? Where is our class flower? Is there a class reunion this time?" Lin Cong asked, In fact, this is also a question that many people want to know.

"Of course I'll be back. She's in the U.S. now, and I've been in the U.S. to meet her. I told her that I must come back for this reunion. If she doesn't come, I'll scold her to death. Does she dare to come? "John Wang started bragging again.

"You dare to scold her? You only dare to do it behind your back, right? You should have retracted her head when you saw her, right?" Tang Shaofeng interrupted him, "You were afraid of her when you were studying, when you hit the iron and single-rod, the head teacher was set as a role model for learning, only she objected to it to her face, saying that it was an accident of your high myopia, by the way, she also questioned whether you had eye diseases such as glaucoma or cataracts." Why did you forget?"

The past seems to be reappearing in front of me, and the old classmates are lively when they eat and drink together, chatting freely.

"How is Hua Lili doing now? Is she okay?" Hai Yueming thought of this female classmate who had been in her classmate for six years, and her eyes naturally showed a look of concern.

"In the United States, the first few years were not very good. After so many years of hard work, I got a doctorate. "John Wang tells a gorgeous story like a news report.

"Is she married?" "The Chinese are still very traditional, concerned about other people's marital status, let alone their childhood classmates, and this seems to be a concern for all the students here except John Wang.

"I got married, as if I had a short history of marriage, and then divorced. In the U.S., it's somebody else's privacy, so don't ask about it. What I can tell you for sure is that she's single now. Still as young and beautiful as before. John Wang continued the news broadcast.

"But she may get married when she returns home,......" John Wang continued slowly.

"Married? With whom?" Lin Cong interrupted John Wang's words.

"And me! John Wang replied.

"Bang", Hai Yueming just drank a mouthful of wine in his mouth and squirted out.

Really? Everyone thought it was a joke from John Wang.
