Wu Chongbin said with emotion: "I have two things to say, one is that I insist on not going to the junior college to study in Shanghai for a self-financed undergraduate, and the diploma will not be stamped with the word self-financed in the future, which is no different from the main candidates. The second is that I think you are really an amorous seed, such a famous handsome guy in Shanda has not yet fallen in love, and I went to the Red Star Factory to play for a few days in the summer vacation, I asked Yan Lin out, and the two of you have no fundamental contradictions, and they talked openly, and there are no problems that can be solved. ”

Wang Qiao said: "Since you can give up lightly, it means that the love is not deep enough, so don't mention it." ”

Wu Chongbin remembered the troubles he faced with Liu Hu, and said, "Forget it, don't mention women's affairs." The winter vacation is too short, we haven't met, and today you and I won't get drunk and go home. ”

Wang Qiao said: "Go to see an old friend before you get drunk." ”

In the old taste local restaurant, Wu Chongbin was surprised to see Ai Min and said, "Sister Ai, you open a restaurant here, heh, the business is doing quite well." ”

Ai Min said: "Wu Chongbin is a guest from afar, try our new dishes, Shannan Lake fish, the taste is strong." ”

Wu Chongbin said: "The most unpleasant thing about me studying there is that the dishes are all sweet, and it is difficult to find some chili peppers. ”

Wang Qiao said: "Go upstairs first, let's go up and drink tea." ”

When he came to the pavilion, Wu Chongbin saw the bedding and said in surprise: "Why do you live here, you won't get together with Ai Min." ”

Wang Qiao said: "Your taste is too heavy, that's Sister Ai." I opened this restaurant with Emin in my sister's name, so I'm half the boss. Majority shareholders, to be exact. I live here during the Spring Festival, and it is convenient to eat. ”

Wu Chongbin suddenly realized: "A barbarian is a barbarian." Sure enough, the shot was extraordinary. One thing I don't understand is why I opened a restaurant in my sister's name. in our school. Student entrepreneurship is a very proud thing, worthy of being introduced by teachers and sought after by classmates, why do you have to be sneaky when you come to Shandong University. ”

Wang Qiao said: "This is the gap between the southeast coast and the inland, after I entered Shandong University, several uncles persuaded me to join the party and become a student union cadre. ”

Wu Chongbin said: "I also have a goal to move forward this year. When I was a child, I was fascinated by big industry and big technology, and now my ambition is capital, which has the power of magic and can turn decay into magic. ”

Wang Qiao objected: "I think capital is just a catalyst, and when the internal factors have not undergone profound changes, the catalyst alone is not decisive. In the real society, even if our country is willing to spend a lot of money, foreign core technologies will not be sold to us, and our industry must have real technological breakthroughs. This cannot be done purely by capital. ”

Wu Chongbin shook his head, "We don't think the same thing. Now what I can't understand the most is that you actually want to enter politics, you don't have a lot of income, and the management is strict. More importantly, if you are in politics, you will not have your own career. That's what my dad always admonished me. ”

Wang Qiao said: "After we finish eating, we will go to Shandong University for a turn, maybe we can see a few eye-catching students who stayed behind, and drink a meal of wine in the evening." ”

Going to another school to see a beautiful sister is something that young college students never get tired of. Wu Chongbin was naturally no exception, nodding happily. He sat by the window and drank a few sips of Wang Qiao's new tea. said: "I really don't have a chance to reconcile with Yan Lin, she actually cares about you." ”

Wang Qiao said: "Stop." Don't talk about this topic. Can you tell us about your school? ”

The two chatted for a while, and then went downstairs. They were going to go to the campus first, so as not to be unable to see the big girl after dark.

As soon as I went downstairs, I met Lu Yifan, who was carrying a duffel bag and walking towards the lobby.

Wang Qiao asked, "You want to go home?" ”

Lu Yifan said: "I plan to go back for a month, and I will come back in early August." ”

Wang Qiao said: "Why did you set off at this point in time?" ”

Lu Yifan said: "The night train ticket can save accommodation fees, you are not a family and don't know the cost of firewood and rice." ”

I didn't go back to my hometown during the winter vacation, I only went back for a month during the summer vacation, and I insisted on working in the old taste, which shows the dilemma of Lu Yifan's family environment. The most endearing thing about Lu Yifan is that he never hides his predicament, but treats it optimistically, and does not use the predicament to win the sympathy of others.

When walking towards the school gate, Wu Chongbin looked back at Lu Yifan's back a few times and said, "This girl is very beautiful, what's the situation?" ”

Wang Qiao said: "I didn't care about specific things in the old taste, and I was a shopkeeper." That girl's name is Lu Yifan, she plays basketball well, and she is a member of the school team. She is from the three northern provinces, and her family's economic conditions are not good, so she usually helps with things in the old taste. ”

Wu Chongbin suddenly became angry: "The three northern provinces have a heavy industrial base, and the people are miserable by a small version of shock therapy, and if this continues, the situation will not be easy to clean up." There are quite a few people in the three northern provinces of our school, and they are all scolding the policy of killing the three northern provinces. Shannan is also a heavy industrial city, and every time you pass by the Dongcheng District government, you can see petitioning workers, and I don't know what the people who make the policy think. ”

Wang Qiao said: "Have you read the newspaper recently, according to the analysis of the report, state-owned enterprises have suffered losses in a large area, so the state has adopted a policy of grasping the big and letting go of the small, and the municipal and county-owned enterprises must be released." My sister's friend Zhao Hai registered a foreign-funded company specializing in capital operation and acquired these bankrupt companies. ”

Wu Chongbin said with great interest: "When will you introduce me to Zhao Hai, I am now the most lacking in the practice of capital operation." ”

One year in college is very short, and I don't feel like I have changed much, but unconsciously, the two friends in the repeater class have their own goals in life, and they are no longer just ignorant young people who compete bravely but have vague ambitions.

Wu Chongbin said again: "That girl is in such a good figure." No wonder you didn't mention Yan Lin, it turned out that you had another goal. Don't deny it, this woman looks at you very specially. ”

Wang Qiao said: "There is no such thing, we are ordinary friends." ”

entered the University of Shandong and wandered around, but unfortunately there were only a limited number of girls left in the school during the holidays, and the dinosaur level accounted for the majority of the limited girls, Wang Qiao was greatly ridiculed by Wu Chongbin for this.

Return to the old taste from campus. Enjoying Master Xing's latest Jianghu cuisine, I drank most of the bottles of Shannan sorghum wine. At the time of parting. Wu Chongbin, who was slightly drunk, said: "Come with me to the Red Star Factory Shannan New Factory to play for two days, I guess Yan Lin is also back." Uncle Yan is very prosperous in the factory. The prestige is very high. The two of you are a perfect match, why bother to be idle and waste a good marriage. ”

Before entering school, Wang Qiao found Yan Dingkang and Chen Mingxiu, and the last time they met did not save their love, he made up his mind to bury this relationship, and said: "I have made one last effort, it will rain, and my mother will get married." I don't care. ”

Wu Chongbin said: "Yan Lin is obsessed with you, this is absolutely true. ”

Thinking of the bits and pieces in the repeat class, Wang Qiao felt sour in his heart, and his determination was still very firm, and said: "Manly man, you don't have to grind so much, there is no grass at the end of the world, I don't have to pray for love." ”

Wu Chongbin sighed: "I am not as good as you in this regard, and I found that my eyes were wide open when I arrived in Shanghai." I feel like I'm going to become Chen Shimei, and Chen Shimei also has her own grievances. ”

The two chatted until nine o'clock in the evening, and Wu Chongbin took a taxi back to the new factory area in Shannan, Hongxing Factory.

In front of a newly built dormitory building, a group of people gathered under a tree to talk. The Red Star Factory has been built in the mountains for decades. The unique environment makes the residents of the factory very familiar with each other, and they are accustomed to gathering in the dam to cool off.

Chen Mingxiu, Yan Lin's mother and daughter, Wu Chongbin's mother and others are chatting around Tiannan Haibei, enjoying the coolness of summer. Wu Chongbin's mother saw her son. Hurriedly took the luggage and complained, "Why did you only come back now." And drunk, where to drink. Wu Chongbin glanced at Yan Lin intentionally or unintentionally. Loudly provide the most accurate information: "I went to Shanda to find Wang Qiao and had a drink with him. There is an old taste of local cuisine restaurant at the entrance of the school, and he lives in the third floor of the pavilion. ”

Wu Chongbin's mother knew Wang Qiao, but she didn't feel anything special, just sighed.

Yan Lin was struck by an electric current falling from the sky and stood on the ground. After studying in Beijing for a year, her eyes were opened, and she also came into contact with many outstanding young men, but there was always a thorn in her heart that made it difficult for her to accept the favor of other boys. Today, Wu Chongbin shook the sharp thorn with a single word, which made her feel distressed and unbearable.

Chen Mingxiu knew her daughter's mind best, pulled her towards the house, and said, "I'll turn on the air conditioner later, and there is a watermelon in the refrigerator." ”

Yan Lin followed her mother into the room, she did not stay in the air-conditioned living room, but returned to the small room, blowing a small fan, and picked up a group photo from a secret corner, which was the only group photo of Wang Qiao, Wu Chongbin, herself and others. In the photo, Wang Qiao is thin and depressed, and his eyes seem to have the magic of penetrating time and space.

With a sigh, Yan Lin put the photo back in the drawer and said secretly: "Maybe I was too hypocritical before and made a wrong choice." Whenever this thought appeared, the shouts about "Lu Qi" always sounded in my head, which made the hot blood gradually cold.

After three days, Yan Lin always felt that there was a voice calling in her heart, and she came to the gate of Shannan University by ghost, she stood on the campus of Shannan University and watched for a long time, and then moved to the outside of the old taste local restaurant to ask where Wang Qiao went.

A young chef stood at the door of the restaurant and yawned and said lazily: "He traveled around the world on a motorcycle yesterday, and he doesn't know when he will come back, and he will always come back when school starts." ”

Yan Lin quickly left the old taste local restaurant, got on the bus parked on the side of the road, and fled away from Shanda. The wind blew through the car window, ruffled the hair, and fluttered in the air.

On the way from Shannan to Jingzhou, Wang Qiao rode his bicycle and galloped. This summer, he plans to spend more than ten days to "travel thousands of miles" to temper his will and broaden his horizons.

With the roar of "boom, boom", the motorcycle rushed up a small hill and then down the slope to the small reservoir where he once swam. Wang Qiao parked his motorcycle and swam several laps in the reservoir, but no one came to interfere, and the old man he met last time was nowhere to be seen.

Once ashore, take a short break and move on.

Under the scorching sun, Wang Qiao rode a motorcycle to Jingzhou and lived in Yang Lian's house. The two talked about calligraphy, life, and ideals, and looked for folk delicacies everywhere in Jingzhou.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Yang Lian walked to the living room with a book with a red cover and said, "Wang Qiao, have you read this book?" More than ten years ago, this kind of red plastic "Mao Zedong Anthology" was a must-have book for almost every family, Wang Qiao was naturally no stranger, and said: "My dad has this set of books in his bookcase, and I have read it since I was a child. ”

Yang Lian rubbed the cover with his hand and said, "I have three sets of Mao Xuan, all of which were issued by units in different periods or bought by myself. Why can the Communist Party go from being weak to liberating the whole country, and why victory will not fall from the sky? This set of books is a magic weapon to guide the victory of the Communist Party, and it has extremely high practical value. The first part of the first part is "Analysis of the Classes of Chinese Society", and the second part is "Report on the Investigation of the Peasant Movement in Hunan". If you have studied the communist movement, you will know the story of the twenty-one and a half Bolsheviks, and the key to why the monks who came from afar are not as good as the local monks is whether they can understand the real situation of the country. ”

Wang Qiao straightened his body and listened to Yang Lian's detailed conversation.

"Since you have embarked on the road of politics, understanding the national situation is the most basic skill. At present, some professors in universities talk about the United States and Europe, and they seem to know the history and current situation of Western countries well, but they do not know the homeland where they were born and raised. Yang Lian took a long breath and said, "Wang Qiao is from the Red Star Factory and is close to the village. But you don't know what the real countryside is, and I suggest you take advantage of the summer vacation to travel alone and increase your knowledge, which is called barbarism in its body and civilization in its spirit. ”

Barbarism is its physique, civilization is its spirit, these are also his father Wang Yongde's favorite two sentences, and he is also cultivating Wang Qiao in this way. Wang Yongde and Yang Lian have different experiences, but they live in the same era and have many spiritual similarities. Each era has a specific excellent quality, and many years ago, it was under the call of the spirit of "barbarism its physique, civilization its spirit" that a large number of outstanding talents with good health, sound personality, and hard-working have emerged.

Wang Qiao said with a smile: "Uncle Yang, this time I originally planned to live in Jingzhou, and then run through several counties in Jingzhou, which can be regarded as reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles." Now I have decided to expand the scope, go out of Shannan, and run all the places in Tiezhou, Shazhou, and Maoyun. ”

Yang Lian didn't think that Wang Qiao would do what he said, but worried about his personal safety, if Wang Qiao listened to his words and ran around on a motorcycle, and had a car accident, he would be guilty, so he said euphemistically: "Run these places, in fact, run half a province, the riding time is too long, and the fuel cost is expensive, you had better go home first, and then consider the inspection method after resting, not necessarily choose a motorcycle." ”

Wang Qiao smiled heartily: "Uncle Yang, don't worry, I will control the speed." This motorcycle is fuel-efficient, and life is solved with steamed buns and noodles, which does not cost much money, and safety is guaranteed. ”

The newborn calf's strength that is not afraid of tigers makes Yang Lian can only sigh secretly, and his courage has almost disappeared with the passage of youth.

At night, after Wang Qiao fell asleep. Yang Lian came to the kitchen alone, cut some minced meat, finely chopped the pickled cowpeas taken out of the jar, and fried a jar of oil-soaked minced cowpeas. The memory of the last fried minced meat cowpeas is very distant, it was the first time the eldest son went out to live in school, and he rarely cooked before leaving, he personally fried a glass jar full of minced meat cowpeas for his son. At this time, in front of this bottle of fragrant minced meat and cowpeas, his heart suddenly became helpless, and the thoughts of his wife and children poured into his body like a raging sea.

Two days later, Wang Qiao rode his motorcycle and prepared to leave Jingzhou. Before going out, Yang Lian handed over two hundred yuan.

Wang Qiao took the minced meat and cowpeas in the iron can without hesitation, and when he saw the two hundred yuan, he hesitated a little, but still took it and said, "Thank you, Uncle Yang." ”

Yang Lian said: "Pay attention to safety, the time should not be too long, go home early." ”

There is a clear difference between young and old, young people are agile, impulsive and motivated to turn ideas into reality. Older people have a lot of experience, but their physical abilities have declined dramatically, and their families have dragged them down, so they often have deep ideas that are difficult to put into practice. Yang Lian looked at Wang Qiao, who had left the dust, and once again sighed at Chunqing, who could not be recovered after the passage of time.
