Chapter 11: The Ordinary Road
On June 22, 2001, the results of the college entrance examination in H Province were announced, and on the morning of this day, the weather was sunny and cloudless.
Wang Yuan's hands trembled a little, and in front of her was a blank piece of paper with a few numbers written on it, which she had just recorded through hands-free.
Ye Aiguo had already stood up, his body trembled a little, the hardships of life had made this man accustomed to bending over to face everything, but at this moment, he wanted to let go and laugh. For his more than forty years of life, there is nothing more worthy of pride and pride than this moment, looking at the son in front of him, Ye Aiguo felt that no matter how hard he worked, it didn't matter.
"Dad, Mom, I should be able to pass the test!" Ye Leiyang looked at his parents' excited performance, held back his tears, and said slowly, he didn't expect that the score was actually thirty points higher than in his previous life!
Wang Yuan cried, the tears of the bean could no longer be controlled, and she covered her face with her hands and whimpered.
Ye Aiguo walked up to his son, hugged Ye Leiyang, and didn't say a word, but Ye Leiyang felt that he had always been a father who did not change color before the collapse of Mount Tai, and now the whole person was trembling.
Ye Leiyang's heart was full of sourness, this scene also appeared in his previous life, but at that time, his mother was sad because he had miscalculated his score and could only go to a shabby university, and his father was sad because he knew that his son had good grades, but because the family couldn't afford to repeat it.
But now, that's all changed!
Raising his head hard, Ye Leiyang didn't let himself cry in front of his parents, decades of regret in his previous life, and his caution in the past ten days in this life, at this moment, he finally let his fate go right around the corner.
"Bell bell bell ......"
At this time, the phone rang at home, breaking the excitement of the family of three.
Wang Yuan wiped her tears and picked up the microphone, Ye Leiyang could guarantee that he had never seen his mother so excited in his previous life and in this life, and even his tone of voice was a little more relaxed, as if he had changed a person after being notified by the electronic synthesized voice.
"Hey, the third child, well, it's out, hehe, it's not much, it's only 560 points! Ah, yes, it is estimated that Yibiao can't run, and he wants to go to Binzhou Normal University. I have no problem with your brother-in-law, when the child is older, he can make his own decisions. You want to come here? Okay, let's talk about it when we get there. Okay, remember to tell our parents and our parents. ”
Putting down the phone, Wang Yuan turned his head and said to Ye Aiguo's father and son: "It's the third child, I have to come over to celebrate Yangyang." ”
Ye Aiguo didn't refute his brother-in-law's idea for the first time, nodded and said, "I have to celebrate, I'll call all our relatives and go to the welcome building when I go back!" ”
Ye Leiyang was stunned for a moment, the Yingbin Building is the best hotel in the family, although there is still a little gap compared with those star-rated hotels in the city, but compared with the suburbs where the Ye family is located, it is enough for many people to go out and show off if they can eat in the Yingbin Building with a meal of nearly 1,000 yuan.
It can be imagined how excited Ye Aiguo was at this time, otherwise he would not have spent such a big blood.
However, Ye Leiyang didn't stop his parents, he just watched his father and mother there constantly calling to inform the relatives in the family, asking them to come to the Yingbin Building for dinner in the evening. watched the parents report their scores to everyone with a smile on their faces.
He knows that this is what he owes to his parents, in his previous life, because of himself, how many eyes and how much pain his parents have endured, in this life and this life, Ye Leiyang wants to get his parents back! He wanted everyone to know that his parents had a son who was proud enough!
"It's all booked." After a long time, Ye Aiguo and Wang Yuan finally finished their own business, turned their heads, and saw that Ye Leiyang had already packed up and was ready to go out.
"Yangyang, you want to go out?" Wang Yuan asked with some surprise.
Ye Leiyang smiled: "Mom, I want to go to school for a walk." ”
Wang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "Okay, it's okay to go for a walk." ”
After thinking about it, she took out two hundred yuan from her pocket and handed it to Ye Leiyang: "Go out with some money, you are also an adult." ”
I don't know why, Wang Yuan always feels that since her son filled in the college entrance examination volunteer, it seems that he has suddenly grown up a lot. Not only is he sensible, but he also knows how to help himself. If it weren't for her son or that son, she would have thought she was dreaming.
Ye Leiyang was not polite, stretched out his hand to take the money handed by his mother, turned around and left the house.
Instead of riding a bicycle, he rode to his alma mater, Beihai No. 11 Middle School.
The college entrance examination has ended, and at this time, there are only students in the school who are the first and second years of high school, and it happens that today is the weekend, and there is no one in the school. Ye Leiyang walked in so leisurely, wandering around his familiar and unfamiliar campus.
It seems that because of his mood, Ye Leiyang felt that the sun above his head was not so dazzling, and occasionally raised his head to look at the sky, he felt that the white clouds seemed to be singing for himself, the sunlight was warm and warm on his body, gently stroking his face, not far away, was a familiar park, and he had to pass by here every day after school. In front of it is the municipal government square in Beihai, where there is a workers' cultural palace, and there are often performances at night.
By 2015, everything in Ye's memory had disappeared, the city government had moved to the western suburbs, the park had been demolished, and the Cultural Palace had been turned into a commercial center.
This is Beihai, the place where his dream began, and the place where his dream fell, Ye Leiyang felt the warm sunshine, he recalled his countless unwilling cries in his previous life, and recalled his countless regrets lying on the hospital bed. The unfairness of fate made Ye Leiyang's heart full of resentment.
But at this moment, he was finally relieved. He feels that now he has embarked on a different path of destiny again, and one day, he will face the world and make his own voice.
"Wandering, on the road.
Are you leaving, Viavia......
Brittle, proud,
That used to be what I used to be.
Boiling, restless,
Where are you going, ViaVia......
Enigmatic, silent,
Are you really listening to the story?
I have crossed mountains and seas,
It also passed through the sea of people.
I used to have it all,
In the blink of an eye, they were all scattered like smoke.
I was lost and lost all direction,
Until you see the ordinary, the only answer.
When you're still, still fantasizing,
Your tomorrow, viavia,
Will she be better, or worse,
Another day for me.
I used to ruin everything I had,
I just want to leave forever.
I have fallen into boundless darkness,
I want to struggle and can't extricate myself.
I used to be like you, like him, like the weeds and wild flowers,
Desperate, longing, crying, laughing and ordinary.
In the dark, this is the only way I have to go. ”
(Five years of writing the book, this is probably the most satisfying chapter I've ever had!) )
