"Girl, help me see if there are any tickets these days. There is an event in our Chinese Literature Club during the Dragon Boat Festival, and I have to rush back to Hong Kong to make preparations. ”

"Okay, I'll look at the tickets tonight and try to book the earliest car to accompany you back to Shanghai. ”

"And what about your papers?"

"It doesn't matter, as long as you apply and apply for it once, it's just me. I will beg Uncle Bai to collect it for me and mail it to Shanghai for me. ”

Mrs. Ouyang smiled happily.

The night in the county town is quiet and clear, and the long-lost silver man shines in the sky.

They walked for a long time, but not a single car passed by on the road, and the whole world was quiet, except for the sound of their footsteps, their laughter, and the refreshing fragrance of grass.

When I arrived at the hotel, there were more people and cars. This is the most prosperous area of Hexiang County, full of brilliant lights, although it cannot be compared with the luxury of big cities, but it is also very lively.

Mrs. Ouyang looked left and right, looking interested: "Girl Lan, don't talk about you, I like it a little bit here." Here can not only pick chrysanthemums in the east fence, but also have the hustle and bustle of cars and horses, and it is suitable for birth and entering the world. So I think it's better to postpone leaving for two days, and then see what other beautiful scenery there is, how about it? Snow girl will join us tomorrow, and let Yulan choose where to go. ”

Bai Yuxue shook her hand again and again, and said: "Madam, you should go with Yulan to enjoy the beautiful scenery, Uncle Bai will take me to an interview tomorrow, that is the largest express company in our province, Uncle Bai knows their people, it is said that they are recruiting middle-level managers, and they still have food and accommodation." So, I won't be able to accompany you tomorrow, and I'll be with you when the holidays come. ”

Mrs. Ouyang was very happy for her: "That's good, wow." Then her uncle will come and pick you up tomorrow...... Oh, why don't you go back with them, and we can go together tomorrow to apply. ”

Bai Yuxue hesitated: "But I'm worried about you, can you live by yourself?"

"Hey, what's not going to work, I'm an old woman, there's nothing to worry about. Besides, I often go out, don't I always live by myself? It's okay, go ahead, I wish you a successful interview!"

Bai Yuxue smiled and said thank you, and happily pulled Bai Yulan's hand.

Magnolia nodded, "Yes, ma'am." I'll go back and think about where to go, and I'll pick you up tomorrow at ten o'clock. ”

Arriving at the hotel, Bai Yuxue went upstairs to get her suitcase.

Mrs. Ouyang turned around, approached Bai Yulan and whispered, "Girl, don't forget that you have promised me that you will accompany me back to Shanghai." Also, can you promise me to go to Hong Kong with me? Oh, I remember, we can't go together, I want to go back first, then you promise me to come to Hong Kong after I get my documents, okay?"

Magnolia hesitated.

"Don't forget, girl, you have wings. After flying for a long time, the swallow's feet will grow. ”

Looking at Madame's eager gaze, Magnolia's heart began to beat violently, and the swallow began to soar in her mind.

"Okay, I promise you, I will go, I will!" Magnolia's eyes rippled with a layer of mist under the hotel lights.

Mrs. Ouyang smiled.

Bai Yuxue went downstairs, handed the room card to Mrs. Ouyang, and saw that the old man was so happy, so she asked what was wrong. Mrs. Ouyang told her that Magnolia was going to Hong Kong. Bai Yuxue jumped up happily when she heard this, she took Bai Yulan's hand and shouted, "Great! Great! Magnolia, come on!"

Early the next morning, Magnolia came to her alma mater, Hexiang County No. 1 Middle School. This school is a key middle school in the city, and all students are selected through the junior high school and high school entrance examinations. Magnolia spent her junior high school and more than two years of high school here, and after being expelled from school, she would often visit her teacher, continue to listen to her teacher's teachings, and keep track of the latest courses, so she successfully passed the graduation exam and got her high school diploma with excellent grades. The guidance of the teachers to her is far more than the guidance of a high school student, they are also teachers and friends, sharing reading experience with each other, and they are full of joy and pride in the progress of Magnolia.

Magnolia waited at the school gate as she had done in the past, greeting every teacher she knew or didn't know. A middle-aged man with a somewhat familiar face walked over to her, and Magnolia bowed and said, "Teacher, morning!"

He Majesty was frightened by Magnolia's reaction: "You...... What do you call me? Teacher? Don't dare to be, don't dare to be. Are you really Magnolia? I wouldn't be mistaken for someone, would I?"

"I'm Magnolia. Who are you?"

"Wow, what a coincidence! I actually met you here! I'm He Majesty, on the train, in the dining car, we met, and I gave you a business card. Remembered?"

Magnolia remembered that the man in the plaid shirt in the dining car had changed into a white shirt today. At that time, he had a slight beard in the car, and he looked very old, like a man who was almost 40, and today his beard and sideburns are very clean, at least ten years younger. Bai Yulan's ability to recognize faces was very poor, and she was a little embarrassed, and she couldn't help but smile when she remembered Bai Yuxue's description of him: "I think about it, it's a coincidence." How did you get here?"

"Oh, I'm here to find someone, to find a teacher named Wan Fang, who came to Hexiang County in 1975 and has been teaching at the county No. 1 Middle School, and should be retired now. ”

"Wanfang? I guess I retired before I started middle school. There is a teacher in our school surnamed Wan Hongxin. ”

He Ma nodded and said, "Actually, I didn't expect to see him here. But the school will definitely have his file, which will have information such as home address, contact information, etc. Hopefully he's still living in the county seat. ”

At this time, a teacher came over and happened to know Magnolia, so he greeted her and asked her about her current situation. Magnolia gave a brief introduction, asked the teacher about the current situation, and wrote the contact information to the teacher. The students also came one after another, and there were more and more people, so Bai Yulan and He Majesty had to retreat to stand under the tree a little further away from the school gate.

"Excuse me, why are you looking for Teacher Wanfang?" Bai Yulan looked at the crowd at the school gate, and saw that there was no teacher she knew, so she turned her head and asked He Majesty.

"Well, that's a long story. Let's put it this way, I came to Wanfang to see the manuscript of a work. I told you that I was in publishing, and Wan Fang used to be the editor of a publishing house, and he had the original manuscript of a novel that I needed. ”

"Oh, what kind of novel is it? Is it pretty? Why are you looking for the original manuscript of it?"

Magnolia, who didn't like to inquire about other people's private affairs, heard that it was a book, and immediately came to her senses and asked one after another.

He Majesty hurriedly gestured with his hand, "The original manuscript, it's the original manuscript!" Seeing that Bai Yulan still didn't understand, he rolled his eyes and thought for a while, and finally found a suitable explanation, and opened his posture to tell Bai Yulan a good explanation: "This book is so good, even if most of it has been cut, it is still touching." Originally, it was not a novel, it was a biography, and then both protagonists died, and the author wrote it as a novel. The prototype of the story is particularly famous, but unfortunately his name was later mentioned. The author handed over the manuscript to the publishing house, but in those days such books could not be published directly, so they changed and changed, deleted and deleted, and finally, finally agreed to publish the book, who knows......"

He Mazheng was speaking vigorously, but was interrupted by a voice: "Yulan, is it really you, why are you back?"

As soon as Magnolia saw someone coming, she happily greeted her: "Teacher Wan, hello." I...... I accompanied others to the county seat to find people. ”

He Majesty also greeted him, took out a business card and handed it over: "Hello, this teacher! I am He Majesty." ”

The person who came was Wan Hongxin, the Chinese teacher of Magnolia High School. She held Magnolia with one hand, took the business card with the other, glanced at the business card, and asked Magnolia suspiciously, "May I ask who this is?"

Bai Yulan introduced: "This Mr. He Majesty came to the school to find a teacher named Wanfang. I don't remember such a teacher in our school. ”

"Looking for Teacher Wanfang?Yulan, you came back from Shanghai to accompany him to find Teacher Wanfang?"

Bai Yulan saw that Wan Hongxin had misunderstood, and quickly explained: "No, the person I was with was my colleague's mother. Mr. Ho Majesty was met on the train. Today I came to see you, and I happened to meet again. ”

Wan Hongxin understood, turned her head and asked He Maje, "May I ask you for something about Teacher Wanfang?"

He Ma hurriedly replied: "The publication published by our Earth Publishing House has serialized a novel, which is going to be remade into a TV series. I asked Mr. Wanfang to take a look at the original manuscript of this novel, just to borrow it. It is not known if you have his contact details or home address. I'm very worried that he's already left the county, and if I'm not mistaken, he's from Peking. ”

Wan Hongxin said: "He didn't leave. You've got the right person, he's my father. ”

He Majesty was simply ecstatic: "Wow, look how lucky I am! Teacher Wan, you ...... Can you take me to him? You don't know how much effort we put into finding this manuscript! I didn't expect that I would be able to find Wanfang the first time I came out, and as long as I found him, the manuscript would be missing, wow, so excited!"

Bai Magnolia was also surprised by this result: "Really, it turns out that Teacher Wanfang is your father." He didn't teach me, so I don't have an impression of him. ”

Wan Hongxin said: "Of course you don't have the impression that he has been retired for more than ten years. I'm sorry, Ho...... Mr. He, now I have to go to class, is this good, I will finish the last class at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and then you will come to the school to find me, and I will take you to my house. ”

When He Ma heard this, he smiled: "Good, good, good, great." I'll be here at four o'clock. You're busy. ”

Wan Hongxin made a phone call gesture to Magnolia, and Magnolia nodded again and again, watching the teacher walk into the school gate.

The class bell rang, and the campus gate was empty. Magnolia came to the gate and greeted the doorman Uncle Bai: "Uncle Bai, how are you doing?"

When the old man saw Magnolia, he was very happy: "Magnolia, why are you back again? Didn't the newspaper say that you had already gone to Shanghai and not coming back? Is there something wrong with your case?"

Magnolia hurriedly replied: "No, the case is fine, I came back to help my colleagues." How are you doing, and have you changed in school lately?"

Uncle Bai smiled so hard that his teeth were exposed: "It's nothing, the school is still the same, and I am still the same, everything is fine! Okay, I won't delay your efforts, let's come to see the teacher and the principal again, let's go in." ”
