Ye Ziyu slipped home, and it was not a taste for half a day. I thought, what are you doing? Is this a first love? Is this how your first love is? Although Yang Wanqing has a good relationship with him and has helped him sincerely, people have never thought about falling in love, and people have already chosen someone in their hearts, what is he?

He couldn't hold it back, so he had to run out to find Lu Yuhao and vent the depression in his heart. The two sat at a food stall on the street drinking beer, and he told Lu Yuhao what happened. Who expected Lu Yuhao to laugh. Ye Ziyu's face was a little unbearable: "You are so happy when I go abroad?" You are basing your joy on my pain. ”

Lu Yuhao wiped his mouth and smiled: "I saw that you drank a lot, but I didn't see how painful you were?" Actually, what is this? Think about it, before the college entrance examination, I met a confidante to help you get through the difficulties, and I was admitted to college, and even I was inspired, otherwise we would definitely be stubborn, there would be no chance at all, and you would not continue to dig your mud? So, what a good thing that is. Besides, she asked you to meet, and you met, just like a comparison, aren't we all college students now, who is afraid of whom? But what are you running? Isn't it immature to look at this sloppy girl? A little hairy child, still learning to spend the moon before the moon? I see, you'd better wait until you go to college to practice your first love's ideals. ”

Saying this, Ye Ziyu couldn't help but be happy.

Lu Yuhao said: "There was an article in the last issue of "Juvenile Digest" about the fourth feeling between men and women. To say this fourth feeling is that there are more than friends, but not lovers, less than lovers. I think it's quite suitable to explain your relationship with Yang Wanqing, I'll turn it out and show it to you when I go back? ”

Hearing Lu Yuhao say this, Ye Ziyu remembered that he had read this article, and secretly thought to himself: Yes, think about it carefully, Wanqing didn't have a good impression of him, otherwise she wouldn't have helped him so sincerely. Isn't it enough to have such a sincere friendship? Perhaps, when I hate to meet and am not married, in short, I should be very grateful and grateful to her!

Thinking of this, he felt much calmer. Ye Ziyu said in her heart, okay, I'll pay attention to restraint and don't think about her. After all, the joy of going to college has surpassed everything.

After staggering the topic, the two talked about other things. Tonight's accident, together with Su Qiao's career as a migrant worker, was buried in the depths of Ye Ziyu's heart.

The following days can be described as a fairy-like life. Although Ye Ziyu was still thinking about Yang Wanqing in his heart, he couldn't muster up the courage to go to her again anyway. At the same time, after crossing the score line, waiting for the admission notice, its comfort is indescribable. Lu Yuhao, Liu Xuan and many other classmates took turns to gather at their homes.

Liu Xuan, like the two of them, caught the last train at his own expense. Jiang Yanxi and Lu Yuhao, who were admitted in the first batch, were admitted to the same university, Zhang Zhiyan was admitted to medical school, and Liu Yiya was admitted to a key university in the south.

Ye Chengxuan is also happy that his son can finally go to college. With a few days left to leave school, father and son went out on the street, and he bought a beautiful suitcase for his son. After returning home, Ye Chengxuan made a cup of tea, stopped his son, sat face to face, and said: "If you are admitted to university, I will have less worries, there is something I should have told you a long time ago, I am afraid that it will affect your exam, I can tell you now." ”

Ye Ziyu saw his father's solemn expression, so he sat down honestly and listened to his father's speech.

"I've already gone through the formalities of retirement."

"Why, you're only 55 years old this year, didn't you say you retired at 60?"

"I took the initiative to do so. I have not been happy in the workplace for decades. There's really nothing to do right now, but it's already active work to deliver documents, hold meetings, and walk around the construction site. Most of the time, it's just making a cup of tea and reading the newspaper. Anyway, the brain doesn't think much about it, and the people around me are basically the same. It's the result of the times, and our generation lives like this. I was really unwilling, so I decided to retire early. ”

Ye Ziyu asked his father: "Then what do you want to do after retirement?" ”

Ye Chengxuan said: "I have thought about it a long time ago, so I will talk to you today." I remember that during the Cultural Revolution, when I first gave birth to your sister, I happened to be arrested and criticized, and I had no job, so I had to resell some goods. At that time, I was buying tea in the southwest, and the Tuo tea produced in Shancheng was the best, with a large amount and drunk, and then I took the train to Shaanxi and Gansu to sell it, and people there liked to drink it. At the same time, I bought some wool and homespun cloth from the farmers over there and sold them in Jincheng. At that time, the cloth was supplied by tickets, and when I heard that there were no cloth tickets, although the quality was poor, there were still a lot of people who bought them, so they didn't dare to sell them on the street, so they could only run to the alleys and shout. At that time, I only had a few dozen yuan on hand, and I made dozens of yuan by running back and forth, and the profit was considerable. But in those days, this transaction was still a great thing, called 'speculation', it was illegal, and it was still checked on the train, and if it was caught, it had to be sent to a labor camp. ”

Ye Ziyu listened to it funny, and actually teased his father: "It turns out that I almost became the son of a labor prisoner, you are lucky, otherwise you can make the old Ye family brilliant, anyway, we are also scholars, grandpa Quanxia knows, if you really want to call the generation is not as good as the generation." ”

Ye Chengxuan was happy: "A gentleman is poor, this is what Confucius said." But if you don't do this, where will your sister's milk powder money come from? At that time, there was no milk powder, and it was all batter. Later, your mother was not happy, saying that this kind of thing can't be done often, and you have to find a decent unit. I was also a college student in the 50s, and college students at that time were very expensive, unlike now, when they grabbed a lot of money. When I went to the sub-district office to register, an old lady asked me to fill out the form, and I learned from others to sing a high note, and at the end of my resume, I filled in the sentence 'I am willing to contribute to the construction of the motherland'. This 'construction' is a general reference, who knows that the old lady has no culture, look at the word 'construction', that's okay, go to the construction unit to build a building. It's good that she understands 'construction' directly as repairing a house. ”

Ye Ziyu was also overjoyed when she heard it, and said: "There is such a thing, it turns out that my sister also suffered when she was a child, and I still think that she has always enjoyed happiness in the United States." ”

Ye Ziyu has a sister who has never met, and was brought to the United States by relatives when she was very young. Ye Ziyu once pointed to the photo and asked her father why he sent his sister abroad? Ye Chengxuan said that China was very poor at that time, and his family was also very poor, so he just happened to have an opportunity and asked his relatives to take your sister away. So Ye Ziyu lamented, why didn't he give birth two years early.

Ye Chengxuan continued: "I majored in chemical engineering in college and went to a construction company. Due to his bad background and the fact that he had committed ****, he was assigned to the construction site to be a worker pulling stones, which was temporary at first. When you were three years old, I was pulling rocks on the construction site. In the early eighties, he was transferred to the trade union. In the blink of an eye, I'm getting old. But my heart is not old, and if I stay in the unit for another three or five years, it will be like this, and there will be no progress. So I came up with the idea of contacting a private company to do it first, and then looking for opportunities to see what else I could do. In the past, it was a social factor, the planned economy, everyone was shackled, but now it is different, in the era of market economy, ordinary people have the same opportunity to realize their own value. I don't dare to hope to revive the ancestral industry, but at least I have to give it a try, and I can't let others say that our generation is not as good as the next. Moreover, I also hope that in my lifetime, I can create a little value for you, and even for your next generation. In that way, the father will die without regrets. ”

Ye Ziyu's eyes were hot, and he was deeply moved by his father's words. "You're old, work in the unit for a few more years, retire, and have fun. Read and practice calligraphy, set up the dragon gate array, and then go out to travel, then it is time for me to earn money for you to spend. ”

Ye Chengxuan was very pleased that his son could say this, and he said angrily: "When I am older, I can better appreciate the preciousness of time, if I don't give it a try according to my wishes, I will not be blind in this life." ”

Speaking of this, he was arrogant, laughed, stood up and walked to the desk, took the pen and paper, shook his sleeves, wrote a poem by Cao Cao, and handed it to his son:

Although the turtle is long-lived, there is still a time to compete. Teng snake ride the fog, and eventually turn into ashes. Lao Ji is in the woods, and his ambitions are thousands of miles.

Both father and son were thinking quietly, their hearts fluctuating.
