Adventures in Heaven (novel) Zhang Baotong

I returned home with an irrepressible sense of excitement. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info As soon as I got out of the train station that morning, I was in a hurry to head home. My family lives in the northern suburbs of Xi'an, not very far from the train station, only about 20 minutes away. When I got home, my father went out to practice, and my mother was sitting at home watching TV. When I entered the door, my mother glanced at me and asked, "Who are you looking for?" I said, "Mom, I'm Longhua." My mother stood up, walked up to me, looked at me carefully, and then cried in surprise, "Long'er, where have you been?" I don't want to hear from home. People say you're in distress in the mountains. I said, "Mom, I'm lost and I'm going to Heaven, where there's no telephone and no communication." When my mother heard this, she wiped her tears and said, "You stay at home first, and I'll go and get your father back, and I'll bring you some more breakfast by the way." "I saw that the calendar on the wall was Sunday, so I wanted to go to Su Ping's house and tell her the news of my return. In the days of heaven, she was the person I cared about and missed the most. So I said, "Mom, leave me alone, I'm not hungry." I want to go out and see Su Ping. The mother was a little displeased and said, "Look at what she is doing, I heard that you were killed, and she has never come to our house again." "I am a person who is very tolerant and understanding of others, and I feel that it makes sense that people are not from home, because after all, people are in love with me, and if I am not there, people will naturally not come to my house.

Su Ping's family is in the southern suburbs, and her father is the director of a department of the provincial government. The three-bedroom and two-living room was decorated many times more luxuriously than the royal palace of the kingdom of heaven, and I had to change my shoes when I entered the house, but I didn't wear socks, so I felt a little uncomfortable entering the house barefoot. Moreover, the clothes on my body were still given by the old man Zaba, which was old and rustic, which made me feel a little inferior and embarrassed. I really regret not changing into a decent outfit and coming back. I can't wait to see my beloved Su Ping as soon as possible.

Su Ping's parents were very polite to me and asked me what had happened. I briefly recounted how I got lost and how I entered the kingdom of heaven. Su Ping's parents listened and nodded paradoxically. Apparently they didn't believe my story, but they didn't deny it, they just nodded. That unfathomable and profound appearance further aggravated my sense of inferiority and prudence, and I only felt that the director and wife of the provincial government in front of me seemed to be much more prominent and noble than the king and queen mother of heaven.

After a while, Su Ping came back, still with a young man who was Svenwen. The two of them held hands affectionately, and looked so in love that they walked past the living room without giving me a good look, and went into the bedroom together. In the past, every time I came here, Su Ping would always pull me into the bedroom, make out for a while, and then let me come out to talk to her parents or play chess with her father. However, the situation has not changed, but the people have changed, and this does not surprise and embarrass me.

It was Su Ping's mother who knocked on the door and called Su Ping out, whispered a few words, and then saw Su Ping walking towards me. I got up and smiled at her at a loss, not knowing what to say. Su Ping asked me to sit down like an old classmate, and then said in a curious tone, "Where have you been, why haven't you heard from me at all, everyone thinks that you are unfortunately killed." "I went to a mysterious kingdom called the Kingdom of Heaven, where the social form was still stuck in the agricultural era of the Han Dynasty. When Su Ping heard this, she said, "Are you talking in your dreams?" Where is the kingdom of heaven? No way. Her words made me feel like I was lying, so I smiled apologetically and said in a very sincere tone, "It's not a dream, it's true." Su Ping couldn't help but say with some disdain, "So you're going to be the second in Columbus, congratulations to you." ”

I felt that talking about this topic would only be ridiculed and ridiculed, so I wanted to change the subject. I said, "What's changing with the school and the students?" She said, "What's changed?" It's not all like that. I said, "I want to go to school tomorrow, and I've missed so many classes, I don't know if I can make up for it." Su Ping said, "The school has already been out for the summer, and it's useless for you to go to school, the school has already removed you." I was shocked and said, "Why did the school want to remove me?" Su Ping said, "The school has a rule that if you are absent from school for two weeks without reason, you will be automatically withdrawn from school." I said, "I'm not absent from school for no reason, I have a special reason." Su Ping said impatiently, "It's useless for you to tell me about this, otherwise, you can go to the school." ”

At this moment, the young man came out of Su Ping's bedroom and came to us. Su Ping introduced me, "This is my boyfriend, a graduate student in the Department of Electronics of Jiao Tong University. I clasped my fists and said, "Fortunately, fortunately." Then, Su Ping introduced me again, "This is Long Hua, who is said to have just returned from the mysterious kingdom of heaven. The man smiled disapprovingly and said, "Heaven? Is it the heavenly kingdom of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom? I was afraid of being ridiculed, so I smiled undeniably, and hurriedly got up and said, "You guys are here, Longhua farewell." ”

When Su Ping's parents saw that I was leaving, they said, "The meal is ready, and we will leave after eating." I saluted again and said, "No, no, Longhua is leaving." Then he went out the door. Before I could reach the hallway, I heard Su Ping's boyfriend say, "What's wrong with this person?" Su Ping said, "It may be that the nerves have been stimulated." Hearing this, I felt ashamed, as if I had suddenly become a sneering neurotic. But what saddens me the most is that the enthusiasm and hope I had when I came here has completely turned into an irresolvable shame and disappointment. I really don't understand how people can get so fast? It seems that yesterday was a couple who couldn't give up, and today they have become a cold-faced person who is not as good as a stranger.

The next day, I rode to the school, and the school leaders were surprised by my arrival and asked questions. In order to avoid being ridiculed, I said that I was killed in the mountains of XC, rescued by a Tibetan, and did not return to Xi'an until I recovered from my injuries and went through many hardships. The school's leaders expressed deep sympathy for my experience, but they said the school had made a decision that could not be changed. I don't think I can afford it, even if I can, my parents can't afford it. They are all workers in a cotton mill in the northern suburbs, which has closed down due to losses, and can only barely survive on social welfare subsidies. With no education to go to, I became an unemployed youth. Moreover, my parents' lives were already difficult, and I couldn't burden them. So, I wanted to find a job.
