After eating, Wu Dao returned to his room.

When Wu Dao and Meng Yihong were chatting, Meng Yihong told him that there was a network interface in the dormitory, and the computer could be connected to the Internet by connecting to the Internet cable.

When he was a graduate student at Jeju University, Wu Dao bought a very long network cable to use in the dormitory, and this time he brought it again to Fangju College.

Back in his dormitory, he found the interface, turned on the computer, and connected the network cable. The computer is connected to the Internet. Wu Dao couldn't wait to log in to QQ and email, but there was no message from Si Baifang on either platform.

Si Baifang's QQ account showed that it was not online, so Wu Dao left her a message:

"Baifang, are you okay in Southeast Asia? I've been thinking about you. You must take care of yourself, and if you encounter anything, you must tell me that we are friends in the heart, and I will always support you. Finally, he told Si Baifang that he had gone to work at Fangzhou College and changed his new number.

After sending the message, Wu Dao looked at his friends on QQ again, and suddenly noticed that He Hua had changed her avatar and username, and the new avatar was her wedding photo, and the username was changed to "Fun". There is also a prompt of "Friends Update Photos" under the avatar, Wu Dao opened He Hua's QQ space and saw He Hua's newly uploaded photos, all of which were her wedding photos and photos of the wedding scene.

He Hua, who was wearing a wedding dress, had happiness written on her face. The groom is a standard Northwest man, not handsome in appearance, but very athletic. Wu Dao couldn't help but think, if he really went to the northwest after graduating from college or stayed there when he went to the northwest that time, would he also live this simple and happy life now, and have a wife as lovely as He Hua by his side?

After reading He Hua's photo, Wu Dao thought of Meng Yihong again, and couldn't help but want to know more about her, so he typed "Meng Yihong of Fangzhou College" on the Internet to find information related to her. There are not many results retrieved, including her winning social science awards, sponsoring poor children, donating money to disaster areas, giving voluntary lectures in remote areas, winning gold medals for unpaid blood donation, etc., almost every one of them made Wu Dao increase his respect for her, and he suddenly felt that Meng Yihong was a very great woman, and he had more good feelings for her in his heart.

When he was about to turn off the computer, Wu Dao saw that the QQ avatar was flashing, someone sent him a message, and after opening it, he was pleasantly surprised to find that it was sent by Si Baifang:

"Wu Dao, thank you for your concern. I saw your message as soon as I went live. I live well in Southeast Asia. Big brother takes good care of me, you don't have to worry about me. You also have to take care of yourself. ”

"Who's Big Brother?" Wu Dao replied. A bad premonition suddenly occurred in his heart.

"Didn't I tell you?"

"Nope."

"He is a graduate student of Jeju Normal University, a native of Beijing, and he also teaches Chinese as a foreign language here. He was very nice to me, took care of me everywhere and helped me with a lot of things. He's a few years older than me, and I call him Big Brother. ”

"That's good." Wu Dao suddenly felt an indescribable pain in his heart, what kind of person is the "big brother" that Si Baifang said, in Si Baifang's heart, who is more important between the "big brother" and himself? He couldn't ask these questions because Si Baifang was free.

"I have something to go out, so I'm in touch often."

"Always contact, take care!"

"So are you."

Turning off the computer, Wu Dao used his mobile phone to send text messages to Tian Mowen, Zhao Wu, Jing Like and other teachers and friends, telling them his new number. The text messages were sent in groups, and when the text messages were sent, Wu Dao saw the numbers of Hu Xueshan and Zhang Chunmei in the address book, and remembered the promise to them, so he also selected them.

The people who received Wu Dao's text message quickly replied. Finally, he called home, told them his new number, and recounted his experience of the day and his current accommodation.

A busy day is finally over. Si Baifang's words kept repeating in Wu Dao's ears, and he remembered the past between himself and Si Baifang, it was really like a dream.

Before meeting Si Baifang, Wu Dao never thought that he would have such a bizarre emotional experience, if the "big brother" really came together with Si Baifang, he would bless them.

He thought of Meng Yihong again, if he hadn't met Si Baifang, but met Meng Yihong when he was young, would he fall in love with her? Although Meng Yihong is now middle-aged, more than ten years older than herself, she has something fascinating, like He Hua, she has no outstanding appearance and no outstanding artistic talent, but one is the most good, one is pure, and she is a rare good woman in the world.

Soon Wu Dao blamed himself for having such an idea, and he said to himself: "Wu Dao, what are you thinking? You won't fall in love with anyone but Si Baifang! ”

Nothing happened overnight. The next morning, Wu Dao got up and went to breakfast. When I went out, I met Meng Yihong again, who also went to have breakfast, and the two of them went together. As soon as Wu Dao arrived at Fangzhou College, he was not familiar with the surroundings, so he asked Meng Yihong:

"Teacher Meng, where are we going to eat? Going to the school cafeteria? ”

"The school hasn't opened yet, and the cafeteria hasn't opened yet. Tomorrow school starts, and the cafeteria will be open. However, I have worked in the college for so many years, and I have enough food in the college cafeteria, and I don't go there much. Let's go out for breakfast. Meng Yihong said.

"Okay."

There are several small breakfast shops and stalls near the north gate of Fangzhou University, selling pancakes, fried dough sticks, xiao long bao and so on. Wu Dao thought that Meng Yihong would eat at one of them, but she didn't stop, but took him to a distant but very clean shop, where there was a wide variety of breakfasts, mainly pies, but also steamed buns, fritters, flower rolls, etc., as well as several kinds of porridge and side dishes. For the same commodity, the price is a little higher than the stall outside.

Wu Dao followed Meng Yihong to choose a few breakfasts, and when he paid, Wu Dao wanted to pay for it himself, but Meng Yihong paid his share together, and Wu Dao was very embarrassed. While eating, Wu Dao took out his wallet and said to Meng Yihong:

"Teacher Meng, I'll give you the breakfast money."

"No need, it's just a matter of a few dollars, I'm your elder, not that money." Meng Yihong said.

Wu Dao is not good at saying anything.

"I come to this shop often, the food is clean, and I can eat with confidence. I don't dare to eat those stalls outside. Meng Yihong said again.

"Some of the stalls outside are really unclean. When I was an undergraduate at Jeju University Maeseong, I bought a cold skin at a stall outside one summer, and I got food poisoning and developed a high fever. So when I was in school, I usually ate in the cafeteria. Sometimes when I eat at a stall outside, I always eat cooked foods such as steamed buns and fried dough sticks. There is generally nothing wrong with these things. Wu Dao said.

"The entrance of things, you still have to pay attention to hygiene. As long as the economic conditions are not too bad, it is better to go to a regular store. Spend a little more money and eat with confidence. ”

"Yes. I still have to learn more from Mr. Meng in the future. ”

"I'm just getting older, and I'm just a little more demanding about the quality of life."

"Teacher Meng is not old at all, he still looks very young."

Meng Yihong looked at Wu Dao and said with a smile:

"Senior Brother Tian said that you can't speak, I don't think what he said is right, aren't you quite good at talking."

Wu Dao also smiled awkwardly, not knowing what to say.

After breakfast, the two of them returned to Fangzhou College. Wu Dao wanted to report to the personnel office of the college, but before it was time to go to work, Meng Yihong said to him:

"You haven't been around the academy yet, have you?"

"Not yet." Wu Dao said.

"Then let's not go back to the dormitory first, I'll take you around the academy and digest the food in your stomach. Wait a while, I'll take you to the personnel office to report again. ”

"It's okay, there's nothing to do back in the dormitory."

Meng Yihong took Wu Dao around the campus and told him the location of various departments and departments.

When he walked to the newspaper column of the Chinese Department, Wu Dao saw that there was a detailed list of donations to the earthquake-stricken areas, which had been posted before the summer vacation, and he thought of the information he found on the Internet yesterday, and he couldn't help but stop and look at it a few more times, as expected, Meng Yihong was one of the people who donated the most, most of them donated one or two hundred yuan, and only Meng Yihong and three other people donated one thousand yuan. Seeing this, Wu Dao blurted out a sentence:

"What a good woman."

"What kind of good woman do you say?" Meng Yihong said.

Wu Dao realized that what he said was inappropriate, his face turned red at that time, and he paused for a while before saying:

"I mean, Mr. Meng is such a good person."

"You mean donating money to the earthquake-stricken area? It's all supposed to be done, and besides, I'm just a person, and I don't usually spend much money. Besides, this money is not much, I donate a thousand yuan, but I don't want to donate more than the leaders of the department. ”

"I know that Mr. Meng not only donated money to the disaster area, but also sponsored poor children, went to remote areas to teach voluntarily, and won the gold medal for unpaid blood donation."

"I didn't expect it, you know quite a lot, who told you, is it Senior Brother Tian? No, he didn't know any of these things. ”

"I didn't say it from Mr. Tian, I saw it on the Internet."

"Still have news of me online?"

"There are quite a few."

"It's really an Internet era of information explosion, and you can't hide anything."

"If you want to do good deeds, you can't leave a name." Wu Dao smiled and said.

"Actually, I don't want others to know about these things, and I don't want to be famous for them. I have always been sponsoring poor children. It's just that I don't go to remote areas to teach on a voluntary basis, and I don't go there much, so it's really not worth that kind of publicity. Check it out, and if you have the chance, go again this year. ”

"Teacher Meng, the next time you go to teach in a remote area, can you call me along?"

"You want to go too?"

"When I graduated from my bachelor's degree, I wanted to go to the west to teach, but my parents didn't agree, so I didn't make it. I also want to sponsor poor children, but I don't have the money right now. ”

"You don't have to compare with me, I am alone to feed the whole family and not hungry, you will have to buy a house, get married and have children in the future, and there are many places to spend money."

"I want to learn from Teacher Meng."

"Don't learn from me, you better solve the problem of your own lifelong events first, that's the most important thing."

"Of course I want to solve the major events of my life, but fate is not in my hands, everything depends on the will of God."

"You don't have to worry about relationship problems all the time, it's not good to get stuck in it. There are still many meaningful things to do in life, come out of that small corner of your heart, look at the outside world, your life will be more colorful, and your mood will be much better. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Meng, I will try my best."

"You don't have to learn anything else from me, you can learn about donating blood for free. Unpaid blood donation can help others and is good for your own body. ”

"Teacher Meng, you won the gold medal, have you donated a lot of blood?"

"Since I was 20 years old, I have been donating 400 milliliters of blood every year on my birthday. A blood donation card is a birthday present. When he gave it twenty times, he won the gold medal. In fact, normal people can donate blood twice a year, and I donate once a year is not much. ”

"When Teacher Meng donates blood in the future, he will call me along. I donate 400 milliliters twice a year, and in 10 years there will be a gold medal. ”

"Donating blood is not about winning a gold medal, the medal is just a memorial."

"Yes. What is your birthday? ”

"It's easy to remember, the day the French Revolution broke out."

"It's really easy to remember. It's just that every July, the school is out for the summer vacation, so I can't donate blood with Teacher Meng. ”

"There's no need to go together, you can donate blood on your birthday. Women have a menstrual cycle, and not every day can donate blood, but it doesn't matter if a man can donate any day. ”

"Yes, I will donate blood on my birthday in the future, and I will use the blood donation certificate as a birthday gift."

"What's your birthday?"

"It's easy to remember, it was the day of the May Fourth Movement."

"Interestingly, our birthday coincided with two major historical events."

"Coincidence."

"With the development of human history to this day, we can find historical events that have happened almost every day, but there are still relatively few far-reaching events such as the French Revolution and the May Fourth Movement. We were lucky to be born on those two days. ”

"Yes, luck."

"Now report to the personnel office. Although the students have not yet started school, the personnel office and the academic affairs office have already gone to work. ”

"Okay."

Wu Dao followed Meng Yihong to the personnel office of the college to report. After that, Meng Yihong called the director of the Chinese department again and told him that Wu Dao had arranged a place to live and had completed the registration. At this time, the time had reached more than ten o'clock in the morning, and Meng Yihong said to Wu Dao:

"I'm going to the supermarket I went to yesterday to buy groceries, do you want to go with me?"

"I'm not going, there's nothing to buy." Wu Dao said.

"Actually, I don't have to buy much, and the reason why I go to the supermarket to buy them is just to walk and exercise. Whatever you want to eat, I'll buy it and eat it at noon. ”

Wu Dao has never liked to trouble others, he had dinner at Meng Yihong's, and breakfast was paid by her, he already felt very embarrassed, so he said:

"I'd better eat out by myself, I eat at Teacher Meng's every day, it's too troublesome for you."

"You're welcome to me, I'm your elder. Besides, I don't cook every day, and it's not worth cooking to eat alone. If you don't eat it, I don't have the motivation to do it, and if you do, you'll have to leave it over. ”

After listening to Meng Yihong's words, Wu Dao suddenly felt that she was actually a person worthy of sympathy, living alone, not even having a person to talk to, and it was not easy to cook and eat by herself if she wanted to. I thought that the situation of myself and Meng Yihong was actually the same, they were both helpless and had no place to eat. Since two lonely people have met together and become neighbors, why not cook and eat together? has a companion in this life, and Meng Yihong is a very good person, and it is actually his luck to be a companion with her. So Wu Dao said to Meng Yihong:

"Of course I can't ask for cooking and eating with Teacher Meng. I also don't want to eat out every day, it's not worth cooking alone. I'm afraid I'll cause trouble to Mr. Meng. I have a suggestion, Mr. Meng, listen to it. ”

"What proposal?"

"We were all alone and had nowhere to eat. Why don't we cook and eat together in the future. When you have time, you cook and eat together, and when you don't have time, you eat separately. ”

"That's a good idea, I don't have to buy food every day in the future. Eating out, even if you find the best place, doesn't feel like home after all. ”

"In that case, I'll go grocery shopping with Teacher Meng. It cost you money to buy things yesterday, and I should pay for it today. ”

"You've just started work now, and you haven't been paid yet, so let's talk about it when you get paid. In fact, you don't have to think about it so much, then life becomes too complicated. Many times, it is we who make life complicated, but in fact life can be simpler. ”

Wu Dao looked at Meng Yihong, and suddenly thought of He Hua and Si Baifang, although they are different in age and personality, they have a common characteristic, that is, they are pure, they look at the world with a simple and unadulterated interest perspective, and the three of them belong to the best women in this world. Thinking of this, he feels that he is very lucky, and it is a very correct choice to work in Fangzhou College after graduating from graduate school. Wu Dao said to Meng Yihong:

"Teacher Meng, what you said is very right, I just made life too complicated, thank you."

"That's right, I see that you are often preoccupied, as if you are unhappy every day. Everything should be able to be taken and put down, so that life can continue. ”

"Let's go to the supermarket and buy something, Aller." (Aller is a French word meaning "to walk.") ）

“Aller。”

Walking on the road, Wu Dao felt a lot more relaxed, and felt relaxed from the bottom of his heart. He never expected that he would leave his home in Qicheng County and go to Fangzhou, a few hundred miles away, and find a sense of home instead.
