Chapter 31: Class Reunion

There is no better memory for a person than school life. At that time, the girls were in groups of three or five, chattering about their little secrets; The boys sweat on the basketball court and enjoy the cheers and shouts of the opposite sex... Many years later, we are scattered all over the world, running for our livelihoods and for our families.

When they got together again, the single ones were still chic, the married ones were struggling silently, comparing and showing off, trying their best to prove that they were not bad, and after getting drunk, they suddenly returned to reality, only to know that their youth was gone and they couldn't turn back. It's just that the simple and beautiful feelings that used to be can be recreated...

Yunduo returned to his hometown to visit relatives, and when he was persuading his father to go to the hospital for treatment that day, he suddenly received a call from an unfamiliar number, and a sweet female voice asked happily: "Yunduo, do you remember me?" The cloud sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember who the name was. Just as she was secretly pondering, the other party giggled: "I know that you have forgotten me, I am Chen Ting, your old tablemate in high school." ”

As if the memory was pulled back to the middle school days, the little girl with a ponytail, talking and chattering appeared in front of the clouds, and seemed to be forever troubled. The two used to have a very good relationship, and when the college entrance examination was approaching, Chen Ting gave up applying for college due to family reasons, and I heard that she had married in her hometown two years ago, and then there was no contact.

"Tingting, long time no see, by the way, how did you find my phone?" Cloud asked. "Hey, didn't we set up a group before, I asked a few old classmates, and they found your phone. By the way, are you still in Beijing? Chen Ting asked. I'm going back to my hometown now, and I'll go back to Beijing when the holidays are over. "Great! The day after tomorrow, our old classmates will have a reunion, I will send you the address, you must come, see you or leave! Before Yun Duo could reply, Chen Ting hung up the phone in a hurry, her fiery personality really didn't change at all, Yun Duo looked at the information and laughed leisurely.

"Duo'er, who called you just now?" My father asked, thumping his waist. "Oh, that's my high school classmate, who said there was a party the day after tomorrow and asked me if I would attend..." "But, I want to spend more time with you..."Yun Duo looked at his father's waist in distress. At this time, her mother touched her hair and said lovingly: "Go, it's rare to see old classmates for so long, when you are not at home, it is also me and your father who take care of each other, young people should participate in more activities and be obedient." ”

Yun Duo nodded, she recalled the carefree life in middle school, and she also missed it very much. In the past, as long as you study well, you don't need to worry about anything else, and the future is far away and shapeless, but now everything has to be faced and solved, and every day you wake up and are oppressed by hope and disappointment, which may be the price of growth...

In order to make himself look brighter, Yun Duo specially bought a set of clothes for himself in the shopping mall in his hometown. After all, everyone knows that she lives in Beijing, and she doesn't want to lose her self-esteem in front of her old classmates. The next day, Yun Duo dressed up and went out, and after arriving at the location, she called Chen Ting. A few minutes later, a slender girl ran at her cheerfully, and she hugged the clouds passionately.

"Oh, Xiao Duo, you miss me. Look at you, you're still so beautiful, haven't changed at all. Chen Ting greeted happily. How can you be, you are, your figure is still so good. "Yun Duo looked up and down and found that Chen Ting was still full of girlishness, which shows that she has had a good life in the past few years." By the way, where did you park your car? Now our stickers here are very powerful, don't be fined. Chen Ting asked worriedly.

"I haven't bought a car yet, I'm here by taxi..."Yun Duo seemed to be poked in the soft underbelly, and whispered in response. That's better, the party will break up in a while, I'll drive you home, let's go, everyone is here, just wait for you. Chen Ting said as she pulled the clouds and walked upstairs.

Entering the box, Yun Duo saw that there were already three men and two women sitting inside, these people looked familiar, but Yun Duo couldn't remember their names. When she was in school, she spent most of her time studying in the corner by herself, and she didn't communicate much with her classmates.

"Hey, this isn't the big beauty of our class, come and sit here." An obese boy with his hair combed on his back stood up. "You are?" The clouds looked at each other in a daze, and they couldn't match the number for a while.

"It's all about working in big cities, forgetting about us, isn't it? I'm a big cow, the former deputy squad leader of our class, do you have an impression? The boy's voice was very loud, and his usual words sounded like a quarrel

Noisy. It turned out to be him, who liked to be in the limelight when he was in school, and his eight-sided and exquisite personality was deeply loved by the teacher. Yun Duo smiled and said shyly: "Hello squad leader, my memory is too bad, don't mind." ”

"Squad leader, don't be bored anymore, Renyun is now from Beijing, can I remember you. Yunduo, have you bought a house in Beijing? How many rings did you buy? As soon as he sat down, a girl with glasses next to him asked eagerly. Yun Duo looked at her carefully, her narrow eyes, and her face was dotted with freckles, and her memories seemed to be slowly becoming clearer.

"You're... Wang Rui? The clouds asked tentatively. Yes, yes, I didn't expect you to remember me, I'm so happy. I heard that you have settled in Beijing, so let's go to you in the future, don't be too troublesome. The girl said with a grin. Look at what you said, Yun Duo is not that kind of person, Duo'er, I will take the baby to Beijing to find you in the future. Chen Ting took Yunduo's hand and said enthusiastically.

"I... I'm still renting, and the housing prices in Beijing are too high to afford. The clouds said with a little embarrassment. Yes? So you're still drifting north? Wang Rui asked in surprise. Yun Duo nodded slightly, and the atmosphere fell into awkwardness for a while. Soon after, Da Niu broke the silence and said loudly: "Although this Beijing is big, it is not as comfortable as our small city. Yunduo, if you are homesick one day, remember to find me when you come back, I am now doing some business on my own, there is no big money, and the small money is still constant. We're all classmates, so we have to help each other. ”

"Hey, Yunduo, do you still have a connection with Yu Lulu? I heard that she found a rich second generation in Beijing, and her family is very rich and lives in a big house of several hundred square meters. Wang Rui asked excitedly. Yun Duo shook his head, looking at the food in the bowl, not knowing the taste. Chen Ting seemed to see Yunduo's embarrassment, she interrupted Wang Rui's questioning, several girls began to talk about parenting, and the boys pushed cups and changed lamps, boasting about their achievements. The cloud is like an outsider, as if the noise around him has nothing to do with him, and he is isolated into two groups.

When I got home, the clouds couldn't sleep for a long time, and those simple and beautiful memories were shattered by the comparison of reality today. His identity as a North Drifter seems to have become the focus of everyone's attention, but what can he do if he returns to his hometown? Did you really make a bad decision? Tossing and turning, she thought of a sentence: first- and second-tier cities can't accommodate the flesh, and fourth- and fifth-tier cities can't fit their dreams...
