Chapter 87: Wishes
Before coming to Nanxun, I had been to many ancient towns, but when I arrived here, I really felt that Nanxun is really an extremely clean place.
After all, this is the south of the Yangtze River, and the drizzle seems to be more suitable for this place than the clear sky, more than anything else.
When stepping on the bluestone slab, everything was damp and wet, there was a mother with a little girl, the little girl passed a small white cheongsam, holding an umbrella in her hand, although short, but she wanted to hold an umbrella for her mother, so her mother had to bend down, helplessly but happily smiled.
Twisting and turning, I went to a temple.
It doesn't have a name, but it looks very quaint, and it doesn't feel like it's crowded, on the contrary, there are a lot of people in it.
There is a large ancient tree inside, and many people sit on stone benches next to it. The corridor next to it is covered with wooden plaques and red streamers.
"Would you like to go in and have a look?" Lin Chuanjin asked.
When Lin Chuanjin asked this question, I knew that she must want to go in and have a look, so I said, "Let's go." ”
We walked along the corridor, looking at the handwriting left by others all the way, and the wooden signs were basically written on our own wishes, and most of them were married. Many of the handwriting on the red ribbon is relatively clumsy, it looks like it was written by the elders, and most of them are praying for the health and safety of their families and the title of the children's gold list.
Maybe it was because I was looking at them seriously, Gu Nanxing asked, "Do you want to write?" ”
I smiled and nodded.
We looked around and finally found a place to take the wooden sign under the guidance of the crowd.
I must admit that these fathers-in-law and mother-in-law who sat next to the fan and rested and chatted were really extremely hospitable, we just asked where to get the wooden plaque streamer, they told us how spiritual this temple is, I heard that we are here to travel, they introduced a lot of attractions, and then originally sent us all the way to get the wooden plaque, but we declined.
Each of the four of us was given a small wooden sign.
I carefully examined the small wooden plaque, the size of a palm, with a red tassel hanging underneath, one side blank for writing, and the other side with carving, full of quaint atmosphere.
I hesitated for a long time about what to write, and finally picked up the pen and wrote down two rows of words: "I hope to be with Gu Nanxing all the time, and I hope I can do well in the college entrance examination next year." - Jiang Luokui. I thought about it for a while, and finally added another sentence: "I hope my parents are healthy and safe"
After I finished writing, I thought of a question, what does it mean to "can do well"? For example, a student who usually takes the first place in the exam, and this time he takes the tenth place, then he will feel that he did not do well, but the student who usually takes the 40th place, if he takes the first place, he will definitely feel that he has done well in the test this time.
So what exactly does it mean to be good in the exam? I struggled with the question and finally consoled myself by saying, "It's okay, God will know." ”
But I have too many wishes, and I hope God will not dislike me as a greedy child.
I suddenly saw Gu Nanxing sneakily tiptoeing up to me, I glanced at him suspiciously, and then turned my sign over with lightning speed.
Gu Nanxing laughed dryly: "I didn't want to see you." ”
"Really?" I asked, looking at him suspiciously.
Gu Nanxing scratched his head a little unnaturally and said, "Okay, I actually want to see it." ”
"I don't give it."
"I'll trade mine for you?"
"Don't give, don't give." I shook my head, "Wishes don't work when they're seen." ”
Gu Nanxing didn't insist in the end.
The cards of the four of us were hung together, and I don't know what they wrote, but it must have been the future they longed for.
After I finished writing, I had an inexplicable feeling, I felt empty inside, and there seemed to be infinite hope for the future, but I also felt a little vaguely sad and anxious.
A grandfather walked past us with his hands behind his back, looked at us hanging wooden signs over there, and asked with a smile, "Are you high school students?" ”
"Yes." Shen Sirui replied.
The old man was dressed in a black tunic suit, clean and tidy, and in good spirits: "How tall is it?" ”
"It's the third year of high school at the beginning of school."
"My grandson is too, but he's not here now, he's going to school in Hangzhou." Speaking of his grandson, his grandfather's eyes were full of warmth, "He has been making up classes, and he hasn't come back during the summer vacation, alas, you guys, studying is really too intense." ”
"It'll be fine soon." I said, I don't know if I was answering my grandfather's words, or if I was using this sentence to give some comfort to my confused self.
"yes, it's good, it's good. Where do you want to take the test? The old man asked again.
This question stopped all four of us, and I smiled faintly: "I haven't decided yet." ”
After chatting a few more words, the old man left, and when he left, he also wished us a smooth college entrance examination gold list title, he said that Mandarin is not particularly standard, but can be heard, when it comes to the word "gold list title", he said not standard, but full of warmth.
We took the subway back.
Chaotic thoughts turned in my heart, I raised my head to look at Gu Nanxing, he was wearing headphones, looking at the rapidly receding scenery outside the window, at that moment, I suddenly felt that he was far away from me, even if he was in front of me, it was about ten centimeters close to me, as long as I took a step forward, I could pounce into his arms.
But I just feel that he is so far away from me, and the college entrance examination in front of me seems to be about to become a deep chasm, separating us, in the future that is not far away.
"What's wrong?" Gu Nanxing turned his head to look at me, his eyes were crooked, and his smile was very warm.
"It's fine." I shook my head.
He seemed to sense something, and as if he didn't realize anything, he suddenly reached out and took me into his arms.
At that moment, I felt that at this moment, we were very close, and what the future holds, maybe I don't have time to care about it now.
As long as this moment, he is there.
Back in the room, Lin Chuanjin and I also talked about this mood of gains and losses, Lin Chuanjin just smiled and said a very philosophical sentence: "Whose life can stand up to careful thought, it's just that there is hope in confusion, there is a toss and turns between gains and losses, and a lifetime of debt and a lifetime of repayment." ”
I was still wondering why she suddenly said such philosophical and beautiful words, and she added: "I didn't say it, I saw it online." ”
I laughed.
But this sentence is really very reasonable, yes, whose life can stand up to careful consideration? No matter what the future holds, just care about the present.
At least at this moment, Gu Nanxing is still by my side.
