Chapter 1 What is life for?
"What is life for?"
It wasn't until he was about to graduate from college that this inexplicable question suddenly appeared in Lu Chengkong's mind. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
At this time, it was ten o'clock in the morning.
Lu Chengkong held his head with one hand and sat lazily in the university classroom. The middle-aged woman on the podium was also blinded, pointing to the blackboard while mechanically "chanting". Until the end of the semester, there were twenty classes, and Lu Chengkong still hadn't figured out whether the teacher of this class was surnamed Huang or Zhang.
"Four years of college, that's it?" Lu Chengkong still couldn't accept this fact, sighed, and buried his head again.
I don't know how many reforms have been undertaken, and the university has finally changed from an elite education to a universal education. Since it is a universal education, what is taught must be a semi-finished product in batches. With such a semi-finished product, I can't learn the professional knowledge of "flying into the sky", and I don't care to learn the technical work of supporting my family such as smashing walls and laying bricks.
I didn't get entangled a few times between "can't learn" and "didn't disdain to learn", and my college life ended like this.
Of course, these realizations can only be experienced when you graduate from college.
If you want to ask what Lu Chengkong has learned in college in the past four years?
It's just to feel life in broad daylight.
There are only two kinds of people who can understand life in broad daylight: either idlers or philosophers.
Lu Chengkong is obviously the former, a complete idler. He is very ordinary, like everyone else, the purpose of the ten-year cold window is to get into college. He never thought about what he was going to do with it, but since he was a child, everyone around him was like this. When I first remembered, I went to kindergarten, followed by elementary and middle school. In the end, everyone inexplicably formed a million-strong teacher, just to break through the single-plank bridge of the college entrance examination.
Lu Chengkong is one of the millions of male teachers, he is standing at this end of the single-plank bridge, although he can't see what the university on the other end looks like, but in the face of such a crazy trampling scene, there is no other way but to close his eyes and follow.
But when he became an idler in college and realized his life for four years, he suddenly had an epiphany. At this moment, Lu Chengkong couldn't help frowning, and regardless of the lecturer on the podium who couldn't figure out his name, he patted his head suddenly, his sword eyebrows frowned slightly, and said to himself: "It turns out that I have been wasting time for the past four years!" ”
"Waste of time?" There was a person sitting next to Lu Chengkong, named Qi Dahu. When he heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Lu Chengkong, pretended to have an unfathomable expression, and said in a low voice: "Time, it's meant to be wasted." ”
Back to reality, Lu Chengkong was very confused, and understood in his heart that if he chose a perfunctory school and a perfunctory major, he would have a perfunctory future. A liberal arts student like himself, who has no professional skills and can only play tricks, is about to face unemployment as soon as he graduates from college. Even if you can find a job that doesn't require professional skills, you can only slowly make a living, and then save money to be a house slave, get married, have children, get sick, and be hospitalized...... This kind of life seems to see the end at a glance.
Next to him sat the three people in the same bedroom, Duan Yuan, Ning Fei, and Qi Dahu. Although they live in the same dormitory, they have their own lives. The biggest difference between these three people and Lu Chengkong is that they will not be sentimental in broad daylight. Duan Yuan has a strong family background, and work is dispensable for him. Ning Fei is only dedicated to studying abroad, far away from the countryside, and studying hard day and night every day. Qi Dahu is a chic bastard, he went to college, just to be able to get a graduation certificate, in his own words, the family demolished and compensated for fifteen houses, which is enough to enjoy three lifetimes.
And Lu Chengkong's family is just an ordinary salaryman in the city, although it is not rich, but it is warm. When he first entered college, he looked down on people like Duan Yuan and Qi Dahu from the bottom of his heart. Because I was taught to rely on myself for everything. However, after soaking in the big dye vat of the university for four years, Lu Chengkong gradually understood that people who are tall may have no way out.
Lu Chengkong didn't bother to pay attention to Qi Dahu, and looked up at the lecturer in the stands, and said helplessly: "Hey, once the time passes, there will be no going back." ”
"I don't want to go back!" Ning Fei closed the four-palm-thick English book, rubbed his eyes, and said, "I've been preparing to go abroad for so long, if I go back to the past, will it take a few more years to learn again?" ”
Duan Yuan smiled: "I see you, it's reading that makes your brain bad!" If you could go back in time, what country would you go out of? ”
Qi Dahu thought for a while and said, "If I could go back to the past, I would definitely not spend so much unjust money." ”
As soon as several people talked about the topic of returning to the past, they suddenly became interested, their eyes lit up, and they started laughing and talking one after another.
If it was in the past, in such a boring class, Lu Chengkong would definitely talk and laugh with them. But he couldn't get interested inexplicably today, his eyes were a little dull, he shook his head slightly, and blurted out: "I can't go back...... When time passes, it won't come back. ”
The three of them were stunned for a while, and they all looked at Lu Chengkong, wondering how he could be so sentimental today.
"I said Lu Chengkong, what's wrong with you today? Is it a broken love? Qi Dahu sat up straight and joked with Lu Chengkong.
"Everyone is like a candle, burning out, dying. Difference...... It's just a matter of length. Lu Chengkong had a wry smile, thinking about his confused situation after graduation, and he didn't have the heart to joke, so he couldn't help but say this.
Ning Fei said: "Lu Chengkong, what are you talking about? Even if our lives are a candle, they have just been lit, and the days ahead are still long. ”
Qi Dahu had a little evil smile on his face, and said, "Candle...... Hehe, even if life is a candle, the length is not important, the thickness is the key. ”
The three of them all shook their heads and snickered.
Looking at the cynical appearance of these three people, Lu Chengkong was noncommittal. Qi Dahu's joke is also right, the thicker the candle, the stronger the light, and the more dazzling it can be in this world. The thickness of the candle is determined by money and power.
Since entering the university, Lu Chengkong has gradually realized the importance of money and power. His family background is the worst among the others, and the difference in family background is also the difference in the growth environment. People who have grown up in different environments have very different attitudes towards the world. Although Lu Chengkong can become friends with several people, it is difficult to make friends.
The three of them didn't bother to pay attention to Lu Chengkong, and started a heated discussion around the topic of candle thickness.
Even though the voices in the audience are getting louder and louder, the middle-aged women on the podium are still mechanically reading the words on the slides. The hum of the projector at the top of the classroom gradually disappeared into the noise.
The more noisy the others, the more Lu Chengkong felt empty in his heart. He always had an inexplicable feeling today, as if something was going to happen.
He turned his head to look at Qi Dahu, who was foaming at the mouth, Ning Fei, who was a little shy, pretending to be a calm Duan Yuan, and suddenly had a feeling: "In this world, even if there is too much unfairness. But it doesn't matter if you have money, you don't have money, you have power, you don't have power...... As long as it is in this world, it takes the same amount of time. ”
It turns out that life is just burning your own time.
Lu Chengkong also realized that his thoughts were a little pessimistic, took a deep breath, sat up straight, and hinted to himself: "In this case, everyone, before the time burns out, must do something!" ”
But what can I do?
Lu Chengkong realized that he lived the same life every day, eating and drinking enough, and then sleeping.
But from the bottom of his heart, he always hoped that something different could happen to him. Maybe it's a vigorous love, or maybe it's a big career. He also tried, but when he exerted his strength, he realized that there was no place to use his strength. The big business in the mouth of others is just a street stall for him, a college student, selling pirated copies. However, unfortunately, in today's pervasive Internet, computer optical drives have withdrawn from the stage of history.
The optical drive is gone, where can I insert the disc?
In this way, the profiteering business of selling pirated CDs has become a thing of the past.
And the premise of vigorous love is to be able to find a girl you like. But in the past 20 years, this she has not appeared in Lu Chengkong's world.
The more Lu Chengkong thought about it, the more confused he became. He even thought about why he came to this world, and, what is he living for?
Thinking of this, Lu Chengkong couldn't help but shake his head, touched his pocket, and realized that there were less than 100 yuan left in this month's living expenses, and laughed at himself: "Life? World? I'm an idler who can't get enough to eat, and I still have the leisure to think about these inexplicable questions. ”
The bell rings for the end of class.
Lu Chengkong put away the brand-new textbook, stood up, looked at Qi Dahu's oily appearance, and said secretly: "Why can they live so heartlessly?" Hey, no matter what life is like, making more money is the truth. ”
"That's right, find a job and earn money!" Thinking back to reality, Lu Chengkong took a deep breath, cheered up, and walked out of the classroom.
