Chapter 42: The Ivory Tower (38)

After Gao Wenxiang got off work in the evening, his heart was hearty, this was the first weekend after he came to the grassroots to participate in the activities, thinking that everything around him was not a familiar place, like a treasure box waiting to be opened, this weekend must go out for a walk, and personally appreciate the unique charm of the Jiangnan countryside.

After Gao Wenxiang returned to his bedroom for dinner, he felt the stuffiness in the room, so he decided to go out for a walk, even if it was to watch the villagers play chess and poker under the street lamp, it was better than staying in the room and enjoying the stuffy heat alone. However, before he could get ready to go out, there was a knock on the door of his room.

After Gao Wenxiang opened the door, he saw that it was Li Wenliang.

"Wen Xiang, have you finished eating?" Li Wenliang asked with a smile.

"I've eaten it, Brother Liang." Gao Wenxiang replied.

"Would you like to go out for a walk together at night?"

"Brother Liang, aren't you accompanying your sister-in-law?" Gao Wenxiang said with a smile.

"She sorted out her materials for the afternoon today, and went to bed after dinner, and I was so bored that I thought I would ask you to go out for a walk. So, let's have a good chat. ”

"Brother Liang, I was thinking that the house was too stuffy, and I was going to go out for a walk after dinner."

"That's great, in this case, let's go now."

Gao Wenxiang and Li Wenliang walked out of the compound of the village committee together in shorts and slippers, and began to walk on the village road at dusk.

"Wen Xiang, I only know that you are from Huangpu University now, but I don't know where your home is?

"My family is from the southwest mountainous area. Brother Liang, what about you? ”

"My family is from Gansu, and I also come from the mountains."

"What a coincidence." Gao Wenxiang's face immediately flashed with surprise and excitement, "You are also from the mountains." ”

"Yes, just like you, you came out of the mountains. The only difference is that you are from the southwest mountains and I am from the northwest. ”

Gao Wenxiang laughed.

"Why don't you go home or go out for fun during the first summer vacation of college?" Li Wenliang asked.

"I don't want to waste time, although I myself studied administrative management, but after all, I studied theory in school, and there is still a big gap between it and reality. Therefore, I would like to take advantage of this summer vacation to come out and experience it for myself, and also to see my own shortcomings by the way. Gao Wenxiang said quietly, with a longing for the future on his face.

"You're really good." Li Wenliang said.

"Brother Liang, am I still good?" Gao Wenxiang said with a smile.

"I don't mean to exaggerate, to tell you the truth, I couldn't do it to your level in my freshman year. In the past few days, I have read the materials you wrote, and I can feel that your skills are really good. If you keep it up, you will be able to do great things in the future. ”

"Brother Liang, then borrow your auspicious words, and in the future, we will go together to expand the territory."

The two laughed together.

After Gao Wenxiang and Li Wenliang walked for about 20 minutes, the bright moonlight sprinkled onto the road in the village, and the street lights also lit up together at this time.

"Wen Xiang, do you have a girlfriend?"

Gao Wenxiang sighed: "Yes." For some reason, there was a sadness on his face at this time.

Li Wenliang heard Gao Wenxiang's sigh, and began to wonder in his heart: "What's wrong with you?" What do people with girlfriends sigh about? ”

"Brother Liang, let me ask you something?" Gao Wenxiang said quietly.

Li Wenliang nodded.

"When did you and your sister-in-law meet? Was it during college? ”

Li Wenliang shook his head: "No, the two of us are from the same county, we met in junior high school, and we didn't start falling in love until high school." ”

"No, it won't." Gao Wenxiang couldn't help but shout, and suddenly thought of himself and Meng Ting in his heart.

"What's wrong? Wen Xiang, is there any problem? Li Wenliang asked suspiciously.

Gao Wenxiang immediately reacted: "No, no, Brother Liang." ”

"By the way, when did you and your girlfriend get together?" Li Wenliang asked.

"She and I were together in our first semester of college."

"That's not a long time together."

Gao Wenxiang nodded: "Yes." ”

"Is your girlfriend also from the southwest mountains?"

"No, her home is from Shanghai." Gao Wenxiang said silently.

Li Wenliang was a little surprised: "Shanghai's? ”

After being surprised, Li Wenliang continued: "Her home is so close to Zhejiang, why don't you let her family come with her." ”

Gao Wenxiang talked again: "She doesn't want to come, because the conditions here are poor." ”

"Isn't that bad?" Li Wenliang said in surprise, and then paused for a while: "Your girlfriend's family conditions should be very good." ”

"yes." Gao Wenxiang looked up at the moon in the night sky, "Her parents are both ** officials." ”

"Okay, Wen Xiang." Li Wenliang became excited, "How else to say that you are particularly good." ”

Gao Wenxiang smiled helplessly.

Li Wenliang felt a burst of surprise in his heart, and when he admired Gao Wenxiang, he also began to have a kind of worry flowing: that is, as a girlfriend, he didn't even want to come to the countryside in Zhejiang, and would he share the joys and sorrows with people like Gao Wenxiang who were born in the mountains in the future?

Li Wenliang did not express his worries, thinking that he had only been with Gao Wenxiang for less than a week, it was inappropriate to say it.

"That's right, Brother Liang." Gao Wenxiang broke the silence for a moment, "You are about to graduate, what are you going to do next, are you going to develop in Shanghai?" ”

"No, your sister-in-law and I are going back to our hometown to take the civil service exam in the county, and we will get married after it is stable."

"Don't develop in Shanghai!" Gao Wenxiang said in surprise, "Isn't that a pity?" ”

"What's the pity, people just need to be happy, happiness doesn't necessarily have to be in a prosperous place, living a glorious life, as long as you can be with the person you like, have understanding and care for each other, and then do what you like, that's enough."

Li Wenliang's heart-warming words silently touched Gao Wenxiang, and after Gao Wenxiang heard it, he fell into deep thought in his heart at that moment, thinking deeply about himself, and thinking deeply about the definition of happiness.

That night, when Li Wenliang and Gao Wenxiang returned to their residence, it was already past nine o'clock at night. When Li Wenliang returned to the bedroom, he found that his girlfriend Tian Yujie had woken up and was sitting on the bed waiting for him to return from his walk.

Tonight's walk made Gao Wenxiang realize that his feelings were very deep, and in the process of chatting with seniors who were a few years older than him, he seemed to feel that he had grown a lot at that moment.

After Gao Wenxiang returned to the room, Li Wenliang's definition of happiness kept echoing in his mind, which was a simple and tranquil beauty, but also a kind of beauty that bloomed in the soul.

In fact, Gao Wenxiang always wanted to tell Li Wenliang that there was a girl by his side who had been with him for several years. However, he didn't say it, worried that Li Wenliang would say in his heart that he was a person who would do anything for utilitarianism.

Gao Wenxiang walked to the narrow balcony, looked at the moon in the night sky, and thought to himself if what he did was really right? Li Wenliang and Tian Yujie's happy portrayal is their best teaching material, the experience of the two of them is so similar to their own, a week of contact I also saw that they understand each other, tolerate each other, and love each other.

Gao Wenxiang couldn't help but think of Meng Ting, if he chose to be with Meng Ting, Meng Ting would definitely come here to accompany him and take care of himself, and he would have a quiet happiness like Li Wenliang.

At this time, the sound of a mobile phone ringing came, and Gao Wenxiang knew that it was He Meina calling, this was his daily homework, and now it was time to go to class.

Gao Wenxiang returned indoors from the balcony and started a call with He Meina.

It's the seventh day of the summer vacation, and it's also a leisure weekend. In the mountains at night
