Chapter 196: On the shore of the unnamed lake

This traffic jam was a little longer than expected.

However, Su Mu and Yan Xiaoke were not impatient, and even found it a little interesting.

In a small city like Qianbei, I have never encountered a few traffic jams since I was a child, but the taxi strikes have been several times in people's memories.

Looking at the dense high-rise buildings outside the car window, Su Mu and Yan Xiaoke both felt the word "modernization" that they had learned in textbooks.

A hundred years can really be called the last sentence "vicissitudes of life".

I am afraid that the ancestors who fought for their ideals a hundred years ago did not expect that China would return to such a glorious scene.

Dozens of high-rise buildings are lined up, various billboards attract people's attention, and cars are lined up one by one, passing through the traffic lights in an orderly manner, and occasionally there is the sound of a steam whistle.

Over here.

It is the capital.

Far more prosperous than any generation in history.

may be because taxis are really talkative, and after taking the opportunity of the traffic jam to open the conversation, Wei Xia unconsciously talked to Su Mupan.

Hearing that Su Mu and Yan Xiaoke were both students, and this time they came to the capital to participate in the poetry competition, she was both a little surprised and a little admired.

Maybe she thought that Su Mu and Yan Xiaoke looked very attractive, but in the next nearly half an hour's drive, Wei Xia opened her heart rarely, and mentioned her daughter to Su Mu and Yan Xiaoke.

Wei Xia's girl has a nice name, called Wei Qiaoqiao, who is not much younger than Su Mu and Yan Xiaoke, and is now in her second year of high school at a school in the capital.

It's just that Wei Qiaoqiao's grades are not very good, and she has been a little rebellious since she was a child, in order to support herself and her daughter, Wei Xia has to go out for more than ten hours every day, and she doesn't have much time to accompany her, so she has always felt guilty about her daughter.

When listening to Yan Xiaoke smile and say that Su Mu is a scholar, Wei Xia expressed great appreciation, as she only has high Chinese, she deeply knows how important it is to have a foothold in a big city.

There are some things that you already have that may not feel very useful.

But for those who can't have it, it's a big threshold.

Because of her low education, Wei Xia didn't know how many times she had eaten behind closed doors, and it was not until the end that she dragged on the relationship with many friends that she was barely able to gain a foothold with her daughter in this metropolis.

Had a great time chatting along the way.

Because Su Mu and Yan Xiaoke are as old as their daughter, she also subconsciously said many of her thoughts. When it was time to get out of the car and pay, Wei Xia was stunned that she gave Su Mu and Yan Xiaoke more than half of the cheaper, and only charged them ten yuan for gas, which made Su Mu and Yan Xiaoke very embarrassed.

I can't get away with it.

Su Mu could only accept the kindness of strangers from this city again.

Listening to Wei Xia say so much, he vaguely guessed that this should be a single-parent family, watching the taxi slowly walk away, Su Mu smiled knowingly, and silently sent his blessings to the family.

It's not easy for anyone in this world.

I just hope that gentle people can be treated kindly.

……

Peking University, South Gate.

The campus is close to the May Fourth Sports Activity Center of Peking University, and the opposite gate is the Kecheng Building.

Su Mu also found out after arriving that this was actually the periphery of Zhongguancun!

Many well-known companies have very bright brands, and Su Mu secretly guessed that the bosses of these companies would go downstairs directly to the school to recruit people if it was not every graduation season.

Yang Muzi was right, because the students were on vacation, the guards did not strictly check all kinds of visitors.

Su Mu and Yan Xiaoke were originally worried about whether they needed to register or something, but in the end, they quietly followed a male teacher in his thirties and walked in directly.

Entering the school gate, many old trees are erected next to them, yellowing leaves are piled up and scattered, and occasionally one or two sanitation workers are cleaning.

There were a little more people on campus than you might think.

Although it is now winter vacation, you can still occasionally see groups of students shuttling around.

Even from time to time, someone looked at Su Mu and Yan Xiaoke.

Couples are not uncommon in college, but the combination of handsome and good-looking couples like Su Mu and Yan Xiaoke will inevitably make people pay more attention.

"Whew."

Finally, I walked all the way to a lake according to the map route, saying that it was according to the map, but in fact, I came in from the south gate and walked to the end to the unnamed lake.

Su Mu and Yan Xiaoke both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is this the shore of the unnamed lake?"

Yan Xiaoke looked around, his eyes full of curiosity.

The willow trees by the lake have lost their leaves, but they are full of a different kind of tranquility.

Because of the cold weather, some parts of the lake have formed a layer of ice flowers.

In the distance, a tall tower stands tall, adding a solemnity to the supreme academic mecca of Peking University.

"Hmm."

Su Mu nodded and sighed.

The air by the lake is much colder than the tall buildings outside the school gates.

"This is Boyata."

"Boya Tower seems to have a history of almost a hundred years, I seem to have seen it in a book before, it used to be to build a water supply tower, but now there is no shortage of water, it is more of a symbolic meaning." Su Mu opened his mouth to explain.

"Can you skate on it?"

Yan Xiaoke pointed to the surface of the lake and said with interest.

Because she has always lived in the south, she has rarely seen the lake freeze, and even if it does, it will not be long before it will be automated.

"Yes, but not now, the ice is not thick enough."

"It seems that there was news that students had fallen off their skates in the winter."

Su Mu laughed, the impression that Peking University gave him, starting from the hall of Beijing Normal University, has always been a classical sense of heaviness.

It's hard to imagine that today's students, especially the top students, would have such a bad taste.

This famous school, which has gone through all the vicissitudes of life, absorbs the new things that are changing rapidly with an unchanging attitude, and calmly allows them to continue to develop freely in their own bodies.

Now the time is in the afternoon, in addition to Su Mu and Yan Xiaoke, there are many other tourists who enjoy the scenery and take pictures, Su Mu and Yan Xiaoke found a bench by the lake and sat down, Yan Xiaoke tilted his head and gently leaned on Su Mu's shoulder.

A breeze blows.

Su Mu smiled and took her hand.

Yan Xiaoke's hands were a little cold, and Su Mu picked them up and put them in his pocket to cover her.

A ray of sunlight shone obliquely, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

Su Mu yawned lazily.

Although it is a little different from what I imagined in my last dream.

But this tranquility is really reassuring.
