Throughout July, the summer solstice was busy, and Pan Rui was also busy, and the summer solstice forbade Pan Rui to come to the county center to find her on weekdays.

"I'll bring all the review materials!" Pan Rui protested.

"Wouldn't it be better if you had to spend more than an hour going back and forth to review? Besides, I also have to prepare for class in the evening, and the class I have prepared is almost finished. "The money is not so easy to make, the daily classes are full, and for students of different ages, the summer solstice is almost crazy.

She hung up the phone, turned on the lamp on her desk, and looked up the course materials she needed online. It was already past nine o'clock after preparing for class, and she opened the Word document again and began to write some sentences that were moaning without illness.

For dinner, she simply cooked noodles, cut some shredded meat, spread a poached egg, and prepared the meal quickly and ate quickly. When she was hungry, she tore open a packet of biscuits and stuffed instant coffee into her mouth. When you are tired, you get up and the balcony is just two steps away.

There is really a big river in this county called Dahe - in fact, it is a river, named Taijiang, which has the same source as Nanshui in Nanzhou. The Tai River flows through the entire city of Tai, dividing Dahe County into two, and the locals like to call this section of the river directly the Great River.

The center of the county, on both sides of the river, is the most prosperous place in this small city. At the beginning of the lanterns and the evening breeze, the nearby residents take a walk by the river for leisure, which is very pleasant.

The river is some distance from the Apple apartment, but she lives high, and can faintly see the bustle on both sides, and the road along the river is like a ribbon of starlight. The wind was blowing in the heat wave, and she was a little shaken in the hot wind: It's July again......

Time flies so fast, as fast as a floating cloud in the sky, she seems to be chasing the child running after the cloud shadow on the ground, feeling that she has run fast, but she still can't catch up.

Fortunately, time is fair to everyone, and she is not the only one who can't catch up with time. Everyone will grow up and grow old in time, and they will learn from it gains and losses, joys and sorrows, and love.

It is often not time that causes injustices in the world, but the inherent wealth and class of people, or the mysterious and mysterious power called "luck". In addition, there are different levels of effort.

All of these things make all kinds of life.

Some people are born with smooth sailing and do not understand human suffering, and some people have exhausted all their strength just by living.

Xia Zhi felt that he should be considered lucky. She is not the type of person at the top of the pyramid, but she is not on the verge of life and death, she is just a drop in the vast sea of people, very ordinary, so ordinary that no one will read the book written as the heroine of the novel.

All of a sudden, she felt as if her life had come to an end—not in the actual sense of the word, but in the future where she could see it, and there was no longer any unknown mystery.

She will settle down in this small city, will marry the first man she fell in love, and will live a small life of firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.

Everything that would happen in the future seemed to be in her imagination. Of course, there may be some minor surprises. She doesn't break her mind about it.

Like Pan Rui's exam failed again, Xia Zhi was not very surprised, she seemed to have known the result in advance, when Pan Rui told her the news, she comforted him in turn, the work is still there, and there is no big problem.

Pan Rui signed a temporary contract for another year, and this paper contract is also an ultimatum, and if he can't be admitted to the exam next year, he won't be able to keep his job.

He was aggrieved for a few days, and in those days, Xia Solstice changed tricks to coax him, made his favorite pickled cabbage fish, clumsily registered an account to send him game equipment, and massaged his shoulders and back.

Pan Rui closed his eyes and enjoyed the comfort brought by the shoulder compression: "I will definitely be able to pass the exam next year." ”

He grabbed Xia Zhi's hand, dragged her from behind, and kissed her.

She was tickled by the kiss and giggled, "I believe in you." This time she really believed him.

In fact, even if she doesn't do anything, Pan Rui's emotions will pass quickly, he has never been a person who keeps things down. But she is willing to do something to add some sugar to her life. How else to have a fun life?

A life is long, and a life is not too long. The year 2007 passed by in a gentle wave, as if it was only in the blink of an eye. When I think about it again, Xia Solstice can barely remember anything.

By comparison, 2008 was much more impressive.

This year has not been quiet in the whole of China.

During the Spring Festival, a rare snowstorm left countless wanderers stranded at Nanzhou Railway Station, and the road home was frozen in ice;

In April, the derailment and collision of two trains touched the hearts of countless people;

In May, a massive earthquake measuring 8.0 on the Richter scale caused huge casualties and the whole country mourned.

In August, the Olympic Games were successfully held in the capital, and the enthusiastic countdown of the audience at the opening ceremony was like a shot in the arm, inspiring the Chinese people who stood tall in the ordeal this year;

In September, there was an outbreak of dairy contamination and a landmark spacewalk......

The country is a big country, the family is a small family, and there is a country and a home. In this regard, Xia Zhi felt particularly deeply in this year, she had never tried to worry about so many strangers, she hung on the Internet almost all day long, as soon as she was empty, she was in a mood for the joys and sorrows of thousands of miles away, and often burst into tears when she looked at the computer.

The individual is even more insignificant, and his own small pursuits and small happiness seem to be negligible.

If you really want to find one or two things that have a greater impact in your living space, it is probably that the Nokia 8310 in your hand has finally died, and there is that Pan Rui finally successfully entered the compilation in August 08.

Xia Zhi changed to a domestic cool energy mobile phone, an unknown smartphone brand, with a 5 million pixel camera, the photo function is not as good as a digital camera, but it is much more convenient, you can take interesting pictures at will.

The concept of smartphones has long existed, Pan Rui changed his smartphone a year before Xia Zhi, and from time to time he showed off his photo function and game function to her. It's just that Xia Solstice has never been very interested in this. She thinks very old-fashioned that her phone can call and send messages.

08 The end of the summer solstice with smart phones can be said to have caught the last train before the arrival of the smart phone era, after August 2009, the rise of Weibo has completely set off the change of information dissemination in China, everyone has become the publisher of information, greatly improving the speed of information dissemination, broadening the scope of communication.

Of course, that's another story.

At the beginning of 2009, none of this had happened, and Xia Zhi was still just holding that smartphone and playing a game of pinball to pass the time in a boring wait.

This year's summer solstice is 25 years old.

He Yan's weekly phone call, in addition to asking her about her work and health, also added a content, asking her when she would get married.

"His parents want to set it on the National Day, but our house hasn't been decided yet...... I know, they'll go to Cannes then......"

When Xia Zhi hung up the phone, he saw Pan Rui riding a motorcycle parked in the square in front of the door through the glass door of the mall.

She pushed the door open and walked over to him.
