The next day, Tian Guo took a half-day off from the store, Guan Tadpole borrowed a bicycle, and then rode all the way west to He Weimin's Normal University.

"Hello teacher, I'm looking for He Weimin, a student from the 82-level architecture department."

At that time, the university was not too strict with the entry and exit management of outsiders, a little semi-open, seeing that Tian Guo looked clean and clean, and hated simplicity in dressing, not like a bad boy, and looking for a person with a face in the school, the doorman asked a few words, and handed out a form from the communication room, saying: "After filling it out, you can go in." ”

When filling out the form, the uncle made a phone call out of nowhere, "Oh, that's the case" hung up the phone, and said to Tian Guo, "Most of the students are in class now, and the dormitory building for the male students of the architecture department is on the west side, you can go there and wait for him." Remember, don't wander around, or you'll get lost, this school is big! ”

"Understood, thank you." Bidding farewell to the warm-hearted doorman, Tian Guo pushed the bicycle into the campus. No matter what the era, the university will always be a vibrant place. Students walked through the tree-lined campus with thick books in their arms.

"Yesterday's calculus was so difficult, I ran out of scratch paper in a notebook, and the answer still didn't match, can you tell me about it later?"

"Well, yes, I also have a question for you."

"Compared to Yukio Mishima, I think Yasunari Kawabata's writing is more beautiful."

"yes, but I think Osamu Dazai's article is the best."

"Osamu Dazai is a bit extreme."

"Writers are a bit extreme, so that the articles they write are critical, and people with mediocre personalities can't write good things."

"Then do you think Cao Xueqin will be a person with an extreme personality?"

There are also many beautiful billboards in the school, Tian Guo is pushing a bicycle and watching the current affairs news inside, and a group of boys in sportswear walk behind her giggling.

Suddenly, a person stopped, looked at her silhouette and was stunned for a moment, and then said in great surprise: "Oops, Comrade Yoneda, why are you here?" ”

It turned out to be He Weimin, who had just returned from playing basketball with his friends in the playground. It was the first time Tian Guo had seen him wear sportswear - the most popular dark blue hurdle vest and big white pants of that era, his arms and legs were still thin like hemp poles, his hair was dripping with sweat, his skin was red from the sun, and his eyes were dark and bright.

Suddenly, a girl from outside looked for He Weimin, which made the little guys quite interested, "Yo, Weimin, who is this?" ”

"yes, don't just giggle, tell us about it."

"Don't be poor, let's go." He Weimin pretended to be calm and began to bombard, but his face was redder than just now, like a ripe tomato.

The friends shook their heads in unison, "Don't go, we'll leave after you finish your introduction." Then his eyes fell on Yoneda Guo.

"Hello, my name is Yonedaka." Tian Guo looked at them generously.

"Classmate, which school are you?" One of them asked.

"I'm not a college student, I work in a barbershop."

Barbershop? Everyone was stunned for a moment, and suddenly a chubby boy clapped his hands violently, "Oops! You are the heroine who chases the gangsters in the vegetable field. ”

Tian Guo was embarrassed, he didn't expect He Weimin to publicize this matter everywhere as a glorious deed, he didn't blush just now, but he also blushed at the moment. When the people were all pushed away by He Weimin, Tian Guocai said: "Weimin, thank you and Director Shen for helping me restore my reputation, I have now become a regular employee of the barbershop." ”

"Thank me for what? You were wronged in the first place, I just did what I was supposed to do, the word 'steal' is too ugly, as a friend, I feel that I have to pay you back. ”

Burst! Tian Guo smiled. He is at a loss,

Tian Guo shook his head and said sincerely: "No, for the people, you are a very good person. However, if you go to the United States in the future, you have to be more mindful, people in capitalist countries are bad! You're so kind, you're going to be bullied. ”

These words made He Weimin blush, "Look at what you said, how can I be so stupid, I will definitely fight back if I am bullied"

Tian Guo smiled and took out a gift for He Weimin from his schoolbag, a Haiyan brand fountain pen and a red plastic notepad. "When you go to the United States, you must learn English well, and I hope that one day you can use up this notepad in English."

"Thank you!" He Weimin happily took it, but he didn't expect Tian Guo to bring a gift to herself, and she rarely replied to herself. Open the title page and see a line of beautiful pen words on it: I wish you a smooth journey, and all your wishes come true. Study hard, return as soon as possible, and serve the motherland.

"Don't worry, I'll be back!" He swore by it.

He Weimin went to Boston University, which is considered public expense, and the application was submitted half a year ago, because there has been no response, and I thought it was no show. After buying two bottles of blackcurrant from the commissary, He Weimin said with a little melancholy: "Who knew that last month I suddenly said that I had applied for a pass, and I had to leave in September at the latest, which made our whole family a little overwhelmed, my father and sister wanted me to go, and my mother was reluctant, and I myself was at a loss." ”

"Dazed?"

"Hmm." He Weimin lowered his head and looked at the shadows of himself and Tian Guo intertwined in the sun, "Actually, at the beginning, I was very resistant, and I didn't really want to go to the United States anymore." ”

"Why don't you want to go?" Tian Guo looked at him in confusion, "For the people, don't be stupid, not everyone can get such a rare opportunity to go abroad!" When you arrive in the United States, you will know that it is a completely different world from ours, and you will start a new life. ”

"What? Have you been? Listening to what she said, He Weimin blinked.

Of course I did, but before I was reborn. Tian Guo took a sip of soda embarrassedly and said casually: "What is written in the newspaper, who knows whether it is true or false." ”

He Weimin also took a sip of soda and said with a bright face: "So, I'll help you go and see if what the newspaper says is right." Isn't there a saying in China that reads 10,000 books and travels 10,000 miles, it's better to see than to hear, Comrade Tian Guo, I hope that one day you can also go to the United States, Britain and France, in short, to see how wonderful the outside world is. ”

Of course, the outside world is exciting, but it is also very helpless Tian Guo doesn't want to hit He Weimin, so he nodded solemnly: "Okay, I'll work hard." And in the future, you will call me 'Tianguo'. The word 'comrade' sounds weird, and it inexplicably distances us from each other. ”

At noon, He Weimin invited Tian Guo to eat in the school's first cafeteria. I ordered a serving of shredded potatoes, a roasted eggplant, and four steamed buns and two nests. At that time, each meal in the university cafeteria was rationed, and the excess part had to be made up with food stamps and money.

"Let's make do with it." He smiled at Tian Guohan and said, "There are few dishes in the school, you can try this roasted eggplant, which is the signature dish of our Normal University." If you chew it carefully, you can taste the mutton. ”

Really? Maybe it's a psychological effect, Tian Guo put a piece of eggplant in his mouth and chewed it, not to mention, there is really a faint smell of mutton. "For the people, you chef god here, how did he do it?"

He Weimin pursed his lips and smiled, "Tian Guo, you are so simple, what else can you do, just put some mutton fat?" ”

“”

In fact, Tian Guo came to He Weimin today not only to say goodbye and give gifts, but also to give an important thing, "For the people, you take these business cards, I am now practicing my own stall, the location is in Xiushui near the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Street, the last time I gave your sister the skirt was bought from there, I have a lot of beautiful skirts there, shirts and jeans, you always have to find a job after graduation, going to work is not the same as going to school, work, you must wear mature and stable, if your classmates need to buy clothes, you can let them go to Xiushui to find me, I'll give you a discount for mentioning your name. ”

"My name is worth so much?" He Weimin's face turned red again.

"It's our friendship that's worth it." Tian Guo deliberately accentuated his tone on 'friendship'.

It seemed that at this moment, He Weimin finally understood something, and he looked at the business card in his hand and was silent for a long time. Tian Guo was a little overwhelmed, and couldn't understand why he suddenly fell silent, "For the people, do you think it's not good for girls to do business?" Is it moral? ”

"Who said that?" He Weimin frowned.

Tian Guo swallowed and salivaed, "We are people in the alley"

He Weimin raised his hand to interrupt her, and said sternly: "Tian Guo, you shouldn't live in the evaluation of others, you are a young man in the new era, you must have your own ideas, you must learn to think independently, if you think it is right, do it, don't be afraid if you fail, no one is born with anything." What's wrong with girls doing business? It's better than those who stand under the walls of other people's houses and talk nonsense! I always feel that in the future of China, there will be more and more people doing business and working for themselves, and state-owned enterprises such as steel mills, light bulb factories, and garment factories, which have raised a large number of lazy people, are likely to face survival challenges in the future. ”

Tian Guo was dumbfounded when he heard this, it was now eighty-five years, but He Weimin, a college student, accurately foresaw the great changes that would take place in Chinese society ten years later.

"I don't want to be a great person, I just want to be a useful screw for the construction of the motherland."

Tian Guo felt that every time he finished chatting with He Weimin, his soul could be sublimated to a new height in an instant. When he left school in the afternoon, He Weimin gave Tian Guo a copy of the Oxford Dictionary.

"Tian Guo, learn English hard, after the country opens, Xiushui's business will definitely get better and better, I have nothing to give you, this English dictionary has been with me for three years, it is after the college entrance examination, I bought it with the money I earned from my part-time job, I will give it to you today, and I will also send you good wishes, I hope that when we meet again, we can become the most ideal self in our hearts."

Tian Guo suddenly burst into tears, this was the most inspiring passage she had heard since she was reborn into this world. It's a pity that this big boy who gave her strength is about to go to the United States. "Thank you, for the people, I will definitely keep this dictionary." Riding a bicycle out of the distance, Tian Guo couldn't help but turn around, but was surprised to find that He Weimin was still standing at the school gate to see her, and when he saw her turn around, he hurriedly waved his slender arms vigorously.

This farewell scene reminded Tian Guo of "Izu Dancing Girl", where Kaoru stood on the shore with a white handkerchief and waved his arms desperately at Kawashima who was away by boat. It's just that Tian Guo prayed in her heart that this was not the last time she would meet him.

They'll definitely see each other again.
