After Shen Bing left, Wang En walked to the bus station alone and waited for the bus No. 91 to the bus station, saying that it was a bus, but it was actually a minibus. With a cigarette, a minibus with the lower half painted grass green drove quickly, braked sharply in front of the bus stop, and pulled out a sharp and piercing sound. A puff of blue smoke also surged forward with the car body due to inertia. The door opened, and a bald man grabbed the door frame with one hand, pinched and dragged the yuan with the other, and shouted in a hoarse voice, "Station, station, get on the train and go." As soon as Wang En stepped out of his leg next to the car door, he was forcibly dragged into the car and almost stumbled. There are so many people in the car, and the empty seats are all blue and yellow plastic hard seats, which is quite contemporary. Wang En walked towards the window position in the back row, and the car started to stumble again, and his hands quickly grabbed the stainless steel lever above his head. As soon as he sat down, the bald short man staggered towards Wang En with his butt against the plastic position on the side of the aisle, stopped in the row in front of Wang En, stood on his forked feet and shook his body back to his waist, and asked, "Where are you going?" "The tone is stiff and extremely impatient." station," Wang said. "2 bucks". After Wang En handed over the money, the bald man continued, "The station gets off at the gate of No. 1 Middle School." "Why don't you go straight to the station?" Wang En asked. "None of them make a pit stop." The bald man had turned and staggered, grabbing the edge of his position with his ass and walking forward. The car shuttled back and forth on the slow city road, the driver's driving skills can be described as a stitch, any vehicle that wants to be in the air with him is helpless to be left behind by him, there is a feeling of being alone.

The bridge at the entrance of No. 1 Middle School was bustling with people, and it was summer vacation, and there were no students wearing school uniforms and carrying school bags and bicycles on the street, only people hurrying towards their respective destinations and all kinds of itinerant vendors. Seeing the door of No. 1 Middle School, various memories of his internship in No. 1 Middle School four years ago came to Wang En's mind, and the most laughable thing made him unforgettable.

At that time, the city held a theatrical performance of "singing the motherland," and all units in the city had to participate in the program. There are three more programs in the education system, one of which is a chorus of teachers drawn from No. 1, No. 3 and No. 8 schools. The teachers of No. 1 Middle School have heavy teaching tasks, and they are all elderly people with families, and they have to take care of their families when they come home from school, so No. 1 Middle School has selected some young bachelors who have not yet started a family to participate.

Before participating in the competition, they have to go through careful and meticulous rehearsals, learning songs, finding tunes, separating voices, harmonies, supporting music, standing position and photo type, etc., from the voice, voice, humming, and pronunciation. The task given by the Education Bureau to the team leaders who participated in this event is to ensure that the two compete for the other, and they must sing the demeanor of the education system. Just rehearsing this song "A Big River" took a whole month of rehearsals. At that time, rehearsals were arranged at 7 p.m., and rehearsals were held for two hours a day.

The girl in the solo part looks quiet and quiet, and her singing voice is also good, like a lonely lark chirping, clean, crisp, melancholy, and with a story, which makes people feel the boundless calmness when they listen to it.

Wang En and his college girlfriend have not talked about their girlfriends since they broke up, except for the pain of being dumped, mainly because they are shy and the conditions are not allowed. Because stepping out of the school involves more things, the reality of rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, these very vulgar practical problems that you can't avoid and dare not avoid, must face. Sometimes you can see your bleak life in the face of reality, which makes you re-examine the eternal question of which is more important, ideal or reality.

After a month of hearing and seeing, Wang En was passively infatuated with the beautiful singing voice of this quiet girl. During the rehearsal process, the conductor corrected this arrangement back and forth, and in the process, he was called by his name. From the mouth of the conductor, Wang En remembered the name "Chen Jing". Every day after rehearsals, several active boys would invite the conductor and several other outstanding female teachers to have supper, and Chen Jing was among them. At the beginning, everyone also asked Wang En to go, and after he refused a few times, he was marginalized by others outside the organization of supper. Because Wang En knew that he couldn't afford to invite others to eat, he naturally didn't dare to participate.

During rehearsals and breaks, Wang En would glance at the place where Chen Jing was sitting, and Chen Jing would sit quietly most of the time, except for a few words or a smile with colleagues who came to talk to her, which made people feel the urge to explore her inner world. The people who can take the initiative to talk to her are often more casual people, seeing her cold attitude, these casual people will naturally stop at greetings, as for her inner world, these more cheerful and enthusiastic people naturally pay attention to it.

Wang En likes to observe, and when he was a child, he watched ants move, crickets fight, and snails walking in the field. I was so fascinated by watching crickets fight that it was too dark and I didn't go home. His mother searched the village but could not find him, and finally saw him lying there still playing with crickets by the stream, so angry that his mother whipped him all the way home with a bamboo whip. This will appreciate Chen Jing's state, as if he is looking at his childhood beloved insect toys, and he is a little fascinated. However, he will notice the eyes of the people around him, and he will not let others notice him and say that he is "a toad who wants to eat swan meat".

One day, Wang En came to the rehearsal room an hour early, he wanted to secretly take a look at the list on the conductor's desk, which school Chen Jing belonged to, and see if he could learn about Chen Jing's information from the list.

"Chen Jing, English teacher at No. 8 Middle School, phone 158.........."

Seeing that Wang En secretly stored the phone in his mobile phone, he secretly rejoiced in his heart. Although that act seems a bit obscene now, it is not enough to extinguish a flame that has been praised for its purity. Knowing Chen Jing's contact information, Wang En was so happy that he was like a treasure, although he didn't know if the girl he wanted to know was a flower or a thorn, he decided to reach out desperately to test it.

One day after the art show, Wang En was bored and sent a message to Chen Jing on his mobile phone. "Your name is Chen Jing, right?"

He said, "Who are you?" ”

"Guess?"

"Sick!"

"You don't know who I am, but I know who you are! And I know you well. ”

"You've got a nervous problem!"

"You don't want to know who I am?"

"Whoever you love, mind my!"

"Look at you, you're very quiet, a girl is very impulsive! Don't be afraid to ruin your beautiful image! ”

"Idiot!"

"You've seen me, and I've seen you!"

"What if you've seen it!"

"Huh! Don't tease you, we've sung together. ”

"Who sings with you, you're mistaken!"

"Really! There's a guy who keeps an eye on you, and you don't even pay attention. Wang En wanted to tease him about the Chen Jing he knew.

"To put it bluntly, you just want to soak me!"

"Wow! You speak so directly. ”

"Why, I'm just so direct, I don't like it to disappear."

"My name is Wang En, remember!"

"I don't know, I haven't heard of it."

"So forgetful, but beautiful women are generally remembered by others, and they generally don't remember others, right?"

"What the hell! If you haven't seen it, you haven't seen it. ”

"You teach English at No. 8 Middle School?"

"That's right! How do you know? ”

"I'll count it!"

"God babble."

Wang En's tone of speaking when he saw Chen Jing's text messages was a little aggressive, which was completely out of tune with her real temperament and personality, but the two of them could still talk, and they began to deceive themselves, and they sent messages to Chen Jing in their free time for several days. He sent a few messages that day, but the other party did not reply. After a while, the phone rang, and when I saw that it was Chen Jing calling, I was happy when I saw the word "Chen Jing". I thought: This little woman can't like me! No matter how much I pretended, I still didn't hug it in the end, and I couldn't bear the loneliness. Just as he was thinking, he said in an extremely gentle and sweet tone, "Hello! Big beauty! Why did you call me all of a sudden! ”

"Your uncle!" Over there was the masculine voice of a fierce boy.

"Who are you! How can you open your mouth and scold people" Wang En found that he might have set himself on fire.

"I scolded you, and Lao Tzu still beat you! Where are you? I'm coming for you. ”

Wang En came out of the countryside, when he was a child, he would not participate in the naughty mischief, he has always been a good doll, where has he seen the formation. The other party scolded, but he didn't dare to say anything. "What's wrong with me, did you misunderstand something?"

"Misunderstanding! Chen Jing is Lao Tzu's girlfriend, you text her every day, are you looking for death! If you dare to harass her in the future, you see that Lao Tzu will not kill you. ”

Frightened, Wang En hurriedly hung up the phone, his heart fluttered and he kept picking, knowing that he had stabbed a hornet's nest, and he was alone outside without relatives, of course, he was only afraid. I was angry and hateful in my heart, thinking: I didn't expect such a quiet woman to find such a ruffian in society, people in the city really can't mess with her.

It wasn't until he left after the internship that he learned from other colleagues that the girl named Chen Jing, the girl who sang with them that time, her real name was "Cen Jing", the two names had the same sound, but the words were different.

The list he went to peek at in advance that day was the music teacher who was the conductor because he taught two teams at the same time, and he took the list wrongly. The "Cen Jing" he has always admired is not the "Chen Jing" on the phone at all.

This incident still makes Wang En cry and laugh, laughing at his naivety and boring back then, and also discovering the ugly quality of the woman in the text message and the sinister nature of society.

Wang En turned his head and glanced at the gate of No. 1 Middle School again, this place that made me almost lose face was that my own magnetic field did not match yours, leaving me with memories that were half surprise and half frightened. He lit a cigarette and suppressed the waves that had rippled in his heart, and walked towards the station with his back to No. 1 Middle School.
