Xiang Xiaoyuan sat beside Liang Jingtao, holding his arm and gently comforting him.

Liang Jingtao has always had a good temper, but he heard that he had a quarrel with the director.

Director Liu is a very Haode person, I can't think of how the two of them can quarrel, it seems that they are still arguing fiercely.

"Brother Jingtao, Director Liu is about to retire, what are you arguing with him, apologize to him tomorrow!" Xiao Yuan's eyes flashed with unease.

Liang Jingtao smiled at her, then frowned, and asked thoughtfully:

"Xiaoyuan, what are you saying about this life?"

Xiao Yuan was stunned for a moment, thought hard, and then smiled: "For what...... In order to live a meaningful life, in order to live a meaningful life! In order to make the person I like happy, and also to make myself happy! Brother Jingtao, why are you asking this question?"

Liang Jingtao touched her head and said softly, "It's okay!"

Then he changed the subject and told her the reason for the quarrel with the commissioner.

Because at the end of the year, there were a lot of train locomotives for maintenance, and Liang Jingtao and them couldn't keep busy working several shifts.

The unit has a German Siemens company equipment, which can directly detect the hardware failure of the locomotive through the computer, and the efficiency can be improved a lot.

However, this tens of millions of equipment has not been used since it was bought, and it is only used as a railway configuration and placed in the warehouse for a look.

Liang Jingtao wanted to take it out and use it, but the director refused to let him, saying that he was afraid that it would be broken.

Liang Jingtao got angry and said that he was responsible.

The commissioner said again, "What are you responsible for if it's broken?"

The two of them quarreled.

Liang Jingtao had never been so angry, and it was with the leader, and only later did Su Ping and a few of them drag him away.

But what made him feel uncomfortable was not that he was afraid of being excluded and suppressed by the leaders in the future, but that Director Liu called him over in the afternoon, poured him a cup of tea, and said the same thing:

"Xiao Liang, I know you're in a hurry, I know you're a responsible person, but I also have difficulties......"

The gray-haired director sighed: "Xiaoliang, you don't know a lot of things, the idea is haode, but the reality is quite embarrassing." Let's just say that the machine is equipped by the bureau and wants to improve work efficiency, but it is made in Germany, and the instructions are all in German. At the beginning, the German engineer came to debug, but you asked the family to teach you, and they said that this is jishu protection, no, you can only be responsible for using it. Later, other units used it, but there was a failure, and I couldn't fix it myself, so I had to hire another engineer from Germany. This back and forth plus repairing the machine, it is hundreds of thousands, this is an ancestor at all, and I can't afford to use it!"

"Xiao Liang, I know your heart, everyone has been young, everyone has dreams, but sometimes it's useless to work your own. People's developed countries are better than your machine tools, that is, better than your equipment, people are to protect their own jishu, do not let you learn to go. Do you say that you are strong alone, is it useful? Young people have ideals and haode, but they still have to face reality!"

……

After listening to Liang Jingtao's narration, Xiaoyuan lowered his head.

Sometimes, the cruelest feeling is that all your efforts are vulnerable in the face of reality. It's like a person trying his best to climb a pillar of light, it's beyond the reach of man, and no matter how hard he tries, it's meaningless.

"I remember my mother said that a country is like a big ship, if it is moving forward with the wind and waves, even if you stand at the stern of the boat, you will move forward. All we have to do is try to get to the bow of the boat, or wait patiently for her to go faster. Xiaoyuan leaned his head on Liang Jingtao's shoulder, as if to say to him, as if to say to himself: "Brother Jingtao, don't give up, let's not give up, because there are many, many people like us, for their dreams, for this land, they have never given up!"

But she was surprised to see Liang Jingtao's tears.

After so many years, it was the first time I saw Brother Jing Tao shed tears.

Xiang Xiaoyuan was very uneasy, hugged his arm tightly, and then muttered:

"Everything will be fine, it will definitely be ......"

****

On the night of the second day after Zhao Jianling was discharged from the hospital, Su Xin found Xiao Qing and had something to say to her.

The two met in a coffee shop, and before he could speak, Xiao Qing suddenly said:

"Su Xin, I know the two of us are not suitable. I'm a girl, let me have something to say! Let's break up!"

Su Xin was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Xiao Qing to say this, he could only lower his head and say in a very small voice:

“xiexie。 ”

Xiao Qing was in tears, but she kept smiling.

In fact, she should have known from the beginning that Su Xin's heart had never changed.

At that time, when Zhao Jianling introduced Su Xin to her, her heart told her that what that person liked was Sword Spirit.

But she didn't listen to what her heart said, so she deserved to be sad now.

She was as naïve as Sword Spirit to think that some things would change over time, but now she realized that some people really haven't changed.

"Su Xin, but we can't tell you about our breakup until after the sword spirit breaks up!"

Xiao Qing smiled and wiped her tears.

Su Xin was stunned, not knowing why.

"Because you're very good to me, I want to help you. If you like the sword spirit, go and fight with Su Ping! If you don't tell her now that we have broken up, she will have no pressure, and you will have a chance!"

Xiao Qing kept smiling, and Su Xin felt that his heart was suddenly filled with something called guilt, which made him breathless.

"But you have to hurry, you have to hurry up and catch up with the sword spirit. Because one day I'm going to like someone else, and when the time comes, I won't be able to help you!"

After Xiao Qing finished speaking, she got up and ran.

Su Xin was left alone, sitting silently in place, saying sorry.

This weekend, Xiaoyuan took leave to stay in the dormitory to review, and the national examination for graduate school was about to begin, but she had no bottom in her heart.

Relying only on the tactics of the sea of questions really does not help much in learning English.

Zhong Yuan went to a classmate's wedding on Saturday.

That classmate turned out to be getting married on May Day like her, but she was unexpectedly pregnant, and her stomach couldn't wait.

They are all junior high school classmates, and they haven't seen each other for many years, so it's very lively to sit around and laugh.

Only then will Zhong Yuan remember that his real name is Zhong Lanyan.

Ten years have passed, and at that time they have faded from their youth, some have just graduated from prestigious schools, some have entered the workplace, and some are still continuing their studies.

The starting point was the same, but it went in a different direction.

Zhong Yuan's junior high school is the focus, and almost all of these students have been admitted to prestigious universities and entered good companies.

Among them, she seems to be very different.

In fact, she has always been different.
