Chapter 18: The Thirty-Year Meeting
The main dinner for the 30th anniversary party was noon on September 15, and two large turntables were arranged in the Langyue Hall, the most luxurious room of the five-star Linjiang Hotel. Twenty-four students overcame various difficulties and arrived one after another before lunch. Wanda did not attend, and it was inconvenient for everyone to ask.
First, 12 female classmates sat together, chatting about their children and grandchildren, opening photos on their mobile phones and passing them to each other, and everyone did not hesitate to praise them.
Sun Haiyang said: "Men and women match, drinking is not drunk. Half of the female classmates have come, and after 30 years, we should give our male compatriots a chance. ”
Everyone laughed, under the command of Sun Haiyang, men and women sat down together, and it was Fang Jing who was next to Zhong Shan. The two looked at each other and smiled, although they were full of words, they couldn't speak.
The dishes came up one after another, and the table was full of delicacies from the mountains and seas.
Class leader Deng Jiaguo stood up, picked up his wine glass, came to stand in the middle of the two turntables, and delivered an enthusiastic toast: "Dear students, good afternoon, everyone! Today is the traditional festival of the Chinese nation, the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is a festival of family reunion, on this special day, students from all over the world, from home and abroad, across the 30 years of time, gathered in Jiangcheng. Tomorrow, we will visit our alma mater to relive the good times of our classmates and teenagers. 30 years have passed, and in the flick of a finger, our green silk has been dyed with frost and snow. Of course, my old Deng is now even a luxury with a full head of hair. ”
Everyone laughed and applauded.
"However, our hearts are still hot, and a classmate is more like an old wine, mellow and fragrant, and it lasts for a long time. Let us raise a glass together, toast to the youth we have walked together, to the most cherished friendship in our lives, and to the next journey of life for each of us! ”
After 30 years, how many beautiful memories can be recalled? How many cognitive gaps need to be filled? How many partings do you need to talk about? The banquet lasted from noon to evening, and the students were still reluctant to disperse.
During the banquet, Su Xiaohong raised her head, and everyone sang "Childhood", "Love Song 1980" and "The Story of Time", and everyone's hearts rippled differently. Some classmates said that it was a pity that Zhong Shan didn't bring a guitar.
After the song, there were rounds of toasts to each other under various names.
Everyone thanked Li Zhan, who was on the annual list of Forbes, for his sponsorship of this party, and sincerely thanked the organizers of this party, Deng Jiaguo and Su Xiaohong, for their hard work, and deeply missed Wang Zhongshu, an inspirational model who left everyone forever.
Zhong Shan noticed that Fang Jing beside him, during the whole party process, whether it was singing or drinking, he behaved very decently, just like when he was in school, neither humble nor arrogant, and generous, as if the peach-colored incident told by Su Xiaohong had nothing to do with her, and secretly admired the tempering of the willpower of this girl born in a small town at the foot of Huangshan Mountain after more than 20 years of Huan Hai's career.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Fang Jing quietly left the room, and Zhong Shan followed.
The two came to the big platform at the end of the hotel corridor, it was already dark outside, and a round of Mid-Autumn Festival moon hung high in the east sky. Looking at the railing, there is a moon in the sky and a moon in the water, and the sky and the earth are quiet and peaceful.
"When does the riverside see the moon at the beginning of the year, and when does the river moon shine at the beginning of the year." Fang Jing softly recited the poems from Zhang Ruoxu's "Spring River Flower and Moonlight Night" that they had recited in college, with an expressionless face, and said: "People are just passers-by in a hurry between heaven and earth, and fame and fortune are even more fleeting. ”
Zhong Shan gently patted the back of Fang Jing's hand and said, "Coming to this world and becoming one of the many living beings is God's favor and love for us. Those passing clouds and smoke can even decorate the scenery of our short life! ”
At this moment, a fish leaps out of the water, and the moon on the river shatters into a shaking wave......
