Midsummer.

July 18th.

On this day, the most lively place in the capital is the capital university.

Early in the morning, the campus gate was open to the public, and the school road was lined with dazzling black cars, including the Audi 100, which represented the official car.

Some peasant workers who came all the way to rest in the security booth occasionally took a look or two, and then grabbed the corner of their simple clothes and bowed their heads silently.

"Eh, this capital is different, buying a bottle of water is more expensive than in the countryside." Someone had just come out of the commissary, holding a bottle of water in his hand for the family to drink, muttering as he drank.

In order to enliven the atmosphere, a fellow next to him echoed: "No, the hotel where we slept last night cost more than ten yuan, and the room was still small, and several people couldn't stretch their legs." ”

After all, the people around him were still smiling under the scorching sun.

Because—

"Eh, girl, you're here alone? Who in the family graduated from Beijing University? The middle-aged woman sitting on the stone fence next door saw the lonely girl in the corner, and stepped forward to talk: "My baby is learning to teach, and she can go home to be a formal teacher after getting her graduation certificate. ”

The woman's rough hands and thick accent all indicate that the whole family has used the power of a college student, and now after graduation, they have to set off firecrackers to celebrate when they return to their hometown.

So between the words, there is a little bit of smugness to show off.

When the girl in the cotton and linen dress heard this, she said obediently: "My home is too far away, so let me pick up my second brother alone to graduate, and his major is ...... I don't know very well. ”

She stumbled, vague.

"Oh, then your family is big enough, just let you pick up a little girl, it's okay, if your second brother doesn't find a good position, I'll talk to my son later, and then talk to the principal." When a middle-aged woman is young and does not understand the major, it is normal for her to start talking about her son's excellent achievements to vent her heart's swelling joy.

The girl listened quietly, occasionally laughing one or two laughs.

After a while, someone in the security booth began to call out the student's name, and the corresponding student's parents stepped forward to receive the address and number plate to enter.

In addition to the people who come by car and don't need to navigate, most of the migrant workers who come from afar return to Beijing University to prevent them from wandering around, so they need to gather at the security booth to verify their identity before they can pass.

"Lian Xiaodong!"

The next name was called out in the small window.

The middle-aged woman saw the girl stand up and bow slightly at her, "Auntie, it's my turn." ”

"Oh, then there you go." The middle-aged woman was stunned, and she was still a little unsatisfied.

Lian Xiao walked to the window, leaned over to identify himself, and was about to reach for the number plate, but suddenly heard the clerk 'huh'.

"Are you a family member of Lian Xiaodong from the Department of Biology?" After repeated confirmation, the clerk suddenly walked out of the security booth, took the initiative to shake hands with Lian Xiao and apologized: "Lian Xiaodong is currently the professor's right-hand man, and the dormitory has already moved to the faculty building. ”

I didn't even expect to have this stubble, thinking that my second brother still had a network to study, and shook his head and said, "It's okay." ”

Immediately, the clerk immediately greeted his colleagues and sent the girl away in the three-wheeled rickshaw that usually picks up the old professor.

Until the rickshaw disappeared in front of everyone, the middle-aged woman sitting on the stone fence opened her mouth several times without making a sound......
