Volume 56 Mountain Climbing

Following my parents, who were already waiting at the airport, I walked out of the door of the domestic arrivals hall and was completely awakened by the wet cold wind blowing in my face. When I got home, life seemed to be back to heaven, every day was to eat, play on the computer, sleep, and go to the supermarket and Xinhua bookstore when I was bored. However, paper can't contain fire after all, and I'm not good at lying, so when I talk about school life and study between dinners, I immediately talk to him.

My parents didn't blame me for this kind of behavior, but just asked me when I would go back to school to take the make-up exam, so that I could prepare early. In fact, this kind of blameless concern makes me feel more uncomfortable than scolding. On the surface, I was expressionless, but I was already ashamed in my heart, so I quickly took the remaining rice in the bowl into my mouth, put down my chopsticks, took the key, and walked out the door.

I walked alone through the streets, with mixed feelings, letting the flow of people pass by me, like a walking corpse. Before I knew it, I walked to the door of Xinhua Bookstore, and there were elementary school students and their parents coming and going. I think that since the textbooks issued by the school can't be read, it is better not to exchange similar tutorial books in the bookstore, or to read them directly in the bookstore, as the so-called "books cannot be read unless they are borrowed". With an idea in my heart and a lot of energy, I walked into the bookstore, found the bookshelf of the tutorial books, and began to search one by one, hoping to find materials related to linguistics.

It's a pity that our small county is too small, and the tutoring books are either primary or secondary schools, and then online is directly the civil service exam...... The flame of hope that had been ignited was extinguished in an instant. Since I've been here, let's flip through it casually, because of the sweaty hands, I don't dare to hold a new book for too long, so I took it out and turned two pages and put it back again. So I became a walking corpse again, wandering alone in a sea of books.

A mobile phone ringtone dragged the lost me to the shore, it turned out to be Brother Xiang, and he came back.

Brother Xiang went to college in the magic capital, and he is a person who has seen the world of flowers, and he is not very interested in going to the state-run cinema to watch movies or visiting street stalls in the county seat. The two of us looked through all kinds of books over and over again, chatted about interesting things in life and study, and my little broken ship drifting in the sea of books formed a fleet.

Soon we talked about the reunion, and for some reason, I suddenly became the official organizer of the reunion of my high school class. We had a friendly exchange about the time and place, and fully exchanged opinions from both sides, barbecue and singing were our must-haves. In addition, for this gathering, Brother Xiang hopes to have a mountain climbing project. Brother Xiang has had a "life-saving grace" for me, so his opinion must be taken into account.

When I got home, I immediately started to contact my former classmates in the hope of making up the best time to meet, and by this time I had long since forgotten the self-blame and shame of dinner, let alone revision or something.

I don't like to talk much in front of strangers, but I'm a chatter before acquaintances, and it's through text messages, which don't require quick responses, and the digital nine-square grid is my password disk to control interpersonal relationships, and I convey my enthusiasm through my thumb to the person on the other side of the screen. Soon, nearly 20 students were summoned by me, and the most common problem they reported was that they wanted to go to the mountain climbing project. Could it be that everyone went to university in the plains like me? It shouldn't be.

Since everyone wants to climb the mountain, it is natural to arrange it. However, with so many people, everyone's physical fitness is different, and they may not all be able to climb high-altitude mountains. In addition, these mountains are in the suburbs, which has to consider the problem of transportation, so cost and safety become uncontrollable. Confused, I asked my parents for their opinion, and they quickly gave me a perfect solution: Chenghuang Mountain behind my house.

Chenghuang Mountain is located in the urban area, there are parks, farmhouses, temples on it, and the important thing is that the way up the mountain can choose a walking trail, giving people a feeling of climbing the mountain. To make sure I was safe, I got up early the next morning and went to check the route by myself. Although it has been five years since my family moved here, I have never been up to Chenghuang Mountain alone. Following the tips my mom gave me, I walked along the muddy path for almost half an hour and finally reached the top of the mountain.

There were several farmhouses at the top of the mountain, and I didn't do a multiple-choice question, so I just walked to the nearest one. After discussing with the boss how many barbecue grills and the price, I went to the one recommended by my dad to order dinner, and I went home after leaving my contact information. Because there was no WeChat at that time, my classmates didn't know what I was looking for. All they know is that they can climb mountains, barbecue, fish, and eat......

After setting the time and place and informing all the students who could be contacted, I started thinking about safety again. I always feel that the preparation is not enough, what if a classmate falls down while climbing the mountain? What if I get bitten by something? What should I do if I get burned while grilling? It turned out that these were all blind concerns, but I didn't think so at the time, after all, I was the organizer of the event. So, I bought a first-aid kit from the Internet, prepared first-aid medicines, and read the instructions in English more carefully than the college entrance examination questions, as if I was a field meder.

Finally, when the appointed time came, the sky was a little unbeautiful, and it was drizzling. I checked the weather forecast, repeatedly confirmed that there would be no heavy rain, got up early and went out to buy barbecue ingredients, and then went to the agreed place to wait for everyone to arrive one by one. After the personnel arrived, I led everyone up the mountain. When they heard that it was to climb Chenghuang Mountain, many people seemed a little disappointed, after all, this mountain is so high, it only took a few steps to get there. And the park above is a check-in place for spring and autumn outings when the big guys are young, and there is nothing particularly fun. It wasn't until I took everyone to walk on the already muddy path, which was a little difficult to walk after the rain, and then there was no path anymore, and I began to feel a little like climbing a mountain. After a while, everyone began to gasp for air.

As I expected, half an hour later, we reached the top of the mountain. After visiting the scenery at the top of the mountain for a while, everyone washed the vegetables, the stove with the stove, the fishing, the cards that liked to play, and the happy smiles replaced the hard work of climbing the mountain before. At dinner, in the midst of the staggering, we talked about our romance again. However, everyone didn't do their best, and they still wanted to sing after dinner. This makes me a little embarrassed, according to the budget I made to everyone in the early stage, there is basically not much for dinner, not to mention that I am not familiar with KTV, and I will not even book a private room. Brother Xiang seemed to see my problem, pulled me aside, told me that he would arrange it, and after speaking, he went out to make a call, and when he came back, he told me the box number and asked me to arrange the car. My brow stretched a little rougher, and I hurriedly went out and called my dad and asked him to call a few taxis to the mountain.

At night, the lights were bright and the singing was moving, Brother Xiang was very happy, and he was a little drunk. I'm also very happy that I finally had a meaningful day during the winter vacation.
