Chapter Eighty-Three: High School Graduation Tape
When I was taken down from the mountain, it was eight o'clock in the evening. The sky is still slightly bright, as if waiting for the last person to go home, and it is always dark and very late in Tibet.
I live in a small inn owned by a couple at the foot of Meili Snow Mountain, the owner is a true Tibetan, the proprietress comes from a city that does not snow in the south, they are very affectionate. There are very few people in the inn, and most of the time they are not too busy. I often sit down with people from all over the world to make a pot of sweet tea, strong or light, and listen to them talk about the touching past.
As soon as I walked in the door, the proprietress stopped me, she got up and pulled me over, her eyes full of pity: "You're finally back, sister, come and eat something, you're scared of us." ”
I pursed my lips embarrassedly and smiled: "It's okay, sister, I'm sorry to worry you." ”
The proprietress took my hand affectionately and smiled as brightly as a spring flower: "Today is the winter solstice, come and eat dumplings together, this is something that is difficult to eat in Tibetan areas!" ”
Looking at the plate of steaming, white and tender dumplings on the table, I was immediately defeated. In this place where the altitude is so high that you can't even boil water, it's really rare to be able to eat such a delicious meal related to your hometown. I didn't say anything more, but walked over and sat down. The boss reached out and handed me soy sauce and vinegar, and gestured to me in Mandarin, which is not fluent: "It's delicious!" Delicious! ”
I ate the dumplings one bite at a time, and they were salty and light, with a long aftertaste. There were still light snowflakes floating outside, and I wrapped my coat, but I accidentally dropped tears into the bowl. The winter solstice is like a big year, and I really haven't been home for a long time.
After eating, I went back to my room and took a shower, and was just about to wipe my hair when there was a knock on the door. I went to open the door, the proprietress stood at the door with a pot of sweet tea, I turned sideways to let her in, and suddenly the room was filled with a faint smell of milk.
"Do you still have the appetite for dumplings?"
The proprietress put the sweet tea on the table, pulled a stool and sat down. Her face was a little red, and she could tell that she had just drunk a lot of wine.
I felt speechless for a moment, so I had to nod vigorously.
The proprietress raised her head and looked at me: "Sister, your watery appearance is really similar to when I first came here." The tone of the proprietress was still as gentle as that of a Jiangnan woman, but her skin had long since become rough due to the perennial strong light of the plateau.
"I came here because I was dissatisfied with my parents' forced marriage, so I ran away from home in anger. At that time, the road to Tibet was a dead end, and I didn't plan to go back alive, I couldn't understand Tibetan dialect at that time, I was cold and hungry, and I had a fever caused by altitude sickness, and I thought that my life would come to this point..."
It was the first time I had heard the proprietress talk about why she had come here, and I hurriedly asked, "What about then?" ”
The proprietress didn't look at me, but got up and walked to the window: "Later? Afterward... Later, you never know who will say goodbye to you forever, and you will never see each other again. You never know who will suddenly appear in the next second, and how the days will be lived..."
I didn't speak for a long time.
Later, I forgot what I talked about with the hostess, I just remember that I drank a lot that night
of wine, had a long dream.
When I woke up, it was already the next afternoon, and the cold wind was still hurriedly beating on the window, making a "popping" sound, and I was forced to open my eyes. I looked at the clock on the wall and didn't hesitate to reach for my phone. I called a familiar number, and I did it in a coherent way, and I wouldn't have had the courage to do it if I hadn't drunk too much the night before.
The phone rang a few times in my ear, and someone connected. I didn't wait for him to speak, so I took the lead and said with a smile, "Dad, I want to go home." ”
My father didn't speak for a long time, and I think his hands must have been shaking at that time, and he didn't even dare to breathe, because I hadn't called him for five years.
After two minutes of silence, I coughed lightly and reminded my father that he was still on the phone.
My father immediately had a voice on the other end of the phone, and he spoke unusually softly, as if he was cautious: "Okay, come back, just come back." ”
I said goodbye to the hostess and I bought a ticket back to City C as soon as possible. The people who got off the plane to pick me up were Nan Nan and Late, and the two of them complained that I hadn't been seen for a few years, and at the same time counted how I had made myself a refugee in Africa.
I was a little angry when I watched them sing and harmonize, and I climbed down the pole and laughed at myself: "Yes, I have been like Waterloo in the past few years, and I have been plummeting without any ups and downs." ”
There was no sound in the car suddenly, you look at me, I look at you, and no one dares to speak anymore. I think the two of them must have made eye contact at that moment, about "Will Lin wake up and return after many years of death, will he feel that life is boring and he will commit suicide?" ".
Seeing the car driving to the door of the house, Nan Nan turned her head and asked me, "Sister, are you going to see Zhang Yisheng when you come back this time?" ”
I looked out the window at the familiar scene and shook my head: "Forget it, it's gone." ”
I was late as if I wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, I didn't say anything, so I had to cough a few times in embarrassment. Nan Nan reached out and grabbed the hand that was put on the gear gear late, and squeezed it a few times, they thought that these details that I couldn't notice were all accidentally seen by me.
People say that two people become similar when they stay together for a long time, and the facts prove that this is true. I was 27 years old at the time, and I couldn't tell whether I was like Lin Paris or Zhang Yisheng, in short, I wasn't the Lin who woke up in the past.
Back at home, it was still warm and lively, and the uncle was helping me with my luggage at the door while not holding the door in his mouth: "Why do you look like you've gained ten pounds!" ”
The old aunt smiled and was about to talk to me, when she suddenly heard the voice in the kitchen, her face changed, and she turned her head and ran into the kitchen: "Eh, yes, it's mush!" ”
The feeling of being at home is always without too much politeness and greetings, and this kind of fireworks makes me feel comfortable and at ease. My father and Aunt Wang still haven't come back, and I haven't asked, because I know very well that I have to give people some time to get used to.
After eating, I was lazily lying on the sofa playing with my mobile phone, and Nan Nan came over and threw me a package: "Give." “
I smiled and took it: "Eh, sister, I have to be my own home this time, and you don't have to go to great lengths to buy me a gift!" It's not a waste of money! ”
Nan Nan rolled her eyes elegantly: "This is."
I sent it to your company a year ago, and I couldn't find you and sent it to your home. “
I pouted, "Oh, that's because I'm overthinking about sisterhood!" ”
Nan Nan handed me a pair of scissors, and I unwrapped the package. There is no signature, but the shipping address is Italy, and I don't have to think about it, I only have one friend who studied abroad in Italy.
There was only one disc in the package, and I plugged it into the computer behind me, and the video of our senior year graduation ceremony immediately appeared on the screen.
The time was July 2010, when I was admitted to a university in Beijing as an art student, and Lin Paris also became popular on the Internet because of a song, and decided to go to Beijing with me to develop. Although Cui Yueqi was forced to go abroad in his sophomore year of high school, he still came back in his junior year of high school and fooled around with us for more than half a year. Xu Ziang and Zhou Mo are the champions of liberal arts and sciences respectively, killing all those who look at us with colored glasses, and proving with their strength that playing with us will also have good development.
On that day, everyone celebrated for a better future, and in terms of time, exactly ten years have passed since now.
At the end of the video, a girl appears on the screen, wearing a cool leather suit, standing backstage in the studio with confidence.
The girl smiled beautifully and generously, and shouted at the camera with bright eyes: "My dream is... I want to be a professional singer... I'm going to make a lot of money... I want to be with you forever... I want to raise the forest and wake up for the rest of my life...."
Then the music sounded, the audience applauded, the girl proudly walked on the stage, the camera shook a little, it is not difficult to see that the person in the video is also applauding the girl.
I turned off the video and didn't watch it anymore, and I knew exactly what was behind it, so I simply closed the computer.
When Xu Ziang got married two years ago, I said that I would send a CD to his bride. As the song goes, "Give her a CD from the past and see how much love we had at that time." ”
I did look for the disc at the time, but I couldn't find it, and then I didn't have a problem.
I squinted and saw a sentence written on the outer shell of the disc with a black marker. When I picked it up, I found that it was an English sentence: timethe greatest physician.
Time is the best doctor.
I know that he said it to me, to himself, to Xu Ziang, to Cui Yueqi and Zhang Yisheng, and of course, to Zhang Yisheng and Lin Paris. Those who have loved it, who owes whom, I'm afraid they have already made a mess, and they can't figure it out at all.
I got up and opened a bottle of red wine, and after a few glasses, I turned my head and asked Nan Nan, "Is there any news of Lin Paris?" ”
Nan Nan pouted: "I heard that someone has been applying for her probation, but it seems that it has never been successful." ”
I lowered my head and smiled, "Is it surnamed Zhou?" ”
Nan Nan nodded.
"Accompany me to Lin's house tomorrow."
Nan Nan asked puzzledly, "Are you still going?" ”
I crooked my mouth and wanted to laugh, but tears welled up in my eyes, so I had to drain the wine in my hand and turn my head directly to the side.
"I promised Lin Paris that I would go to see grandma."
"Then I'll call you tomorrow morning."
I nodded, "Okay." 2k reading network
