Master Yuan

Previous Chapter

The last time I saw Master Yuan, it should have been some years.

Master Yuan is my college classmate and a friend I don't have much contact with after graduation. Master Yuan's hometown is in Gansu, with Inner Mongolia in the north and Qinghai in the south. It takes more than 10 hours to take the train home to go to school.

One boring winter, I called Master Yuan and told him to come to Xi'an to play with him, but Master Yuan was also enthusiastic and asked his daughter-in-law to clean up the room for me to live in. During the chat, Master Yuan told me that he had stayed enough in Xi'an and was ready to go back to his hometown. After hearing this, we were all silent, and after a long time, Master Yuan said again: I am the only child in the family, and my parents are also old and need to be accompanied, and I have not had my own career after staying in Xi'an for so many years, so it is better to make plans as soon as possible and go back to my hometown to make a living!

When I first entered university, I was somewhat timid in the face of a new environment, but fortunately, I met Master Yuan, who was one year older than me and whose surname was Yuan Minghai. When I first met, I always called him Brother Hai, and later in the training class, everyone called each other master: Master Huang how to do this, Master Yuan how to practice. After a long time, I didn't change my words.

Master Yuan is a very enthusiastic and honest little fat man, usually if there is any trouble, go directly to him, and you can solve it all. If a dormitory wants to be united, a dormitory director is indispensable, and everyone is naturally reluctant to do this kind of thankless work, so Master Yuan took on the position of dormitory director. I never thought that Master Yuan was still a conscientious person, there was no hot water in the dormitory, everyone rested, I came. There are no daily necessities in the dormitory, use mine. Someone in the dormitory got fighting, hey, he has to be needed. It's also winter, and I can't remember which month it is, everyone is poor and can't afford to eat, and they all have to climb the tree to gnaw the bark, Master Yuan actually borrowed money to take us who were going to gnaw the bark to eat. After this incident, I have a little more admiration for Master Yuan.

Master Yuan himself doesn't want to trouble others for anything, and after staying in Xi'an for so many years, he usually doesn't bother me except when I come to him to visit. But when I arrived in Xi'an, Master Yuan was always busy, or directly asked for leave to drive me to Xi'an.

Big cities always have their attractions, attracting groups of young people, everyone wants to shine in the city, but how many people can do it, and how many people can move on for the life they finally yearn for.
