Chapter Twenty-Three: Farewell, My University

"Time passes like electricity".

The life of the university came to an end in a hurry.

During my university life, I struggled to complete my study tasks and pay for my living expenses, trying to reduce the burden on my family and ensure that I was ahead of the curve in the midst of my heavy studies.

After several years of learning and thinking, I have gradually been able to calmly face the gains and losses in life from an adult perspective.

Compared with my peers, I came into contact with the society too early, learned to summarize from the practice of society, and correctly understood the people and events I came into contact with.

The experience of university life has undoubtedly been beneficial and helpful for me to step into the society and adapt to various living conditions.

As a child who came out of the mountains, with a different starting point and different living conditions from other people, I stopped complaining and began to change the status quo through my own efforts.

I began to calmly position myself for the future.

At the same time, the reality made me begin to realize that it is not enough for people to have great ambitions, but also to do a good job in the present in a down-to-earth manner, plan the future on the basis of reality, and the realistic ideal may be the most promising ideal.

In the past few years of college life, I have maintained correspondence with Ding Ling intermittently, and I feel that her emotions are not far away, not close, lukewarm, and inseparable.

For Ding Ling, who joined the army and has decided to stay in the military region to work, the superiority shown between the lines made me even more ashamed of myself, and I didn't even have the courage to call her on the phone.

I kept my composure, and my current situation reminded me of how pale and powerless a penniless poor boy's confession could be, and even bring shame upon himself.

The self-esteem in my bones maintained the last trace of my dignity, and the enthusiasm in my blood still devoured my reason all the time, so that I did not have the courage and courage to cut off the love thread immediately.

I have a glimmer of hope in my heart, hoping that like the story in a street romance novel, that my loved ones will break through all worldly obstacles and throw themselves into my arms, whether poor or rich, noble or lowly, however, all this, put into reality, is just a dream.

When I was about to graduate from university, the Internet was quietly emerging, and finance was surging under the impact of the interconnected economy, and the development of the Internet seemed to have become a new business trend in the country.

With the help of the power of the Internet, the ideal of rising to the top and getting rich overnight has become a reality, and this ideal has also stimulated everyone's nerves.

The way of communication has become convenient and fast, with the help of the power of the network, the convenience of mobile Internet has been released instantly, the contact between people has become easier, and the way of communication has become diverse, convenient and fast.

Mobile phones of all kinds have flocked to the market, mobile phones have become popular, and even the most modest students can have a new and small communication equipment in their waists on college campuses.

On the streets, on the bus, young people with bowed heads can be seen everywhere on the campus, nervously pressing the keyboard of their mobile phones, and the sound of tinkling and ding dong of information is endless.

.......

It is in this environment that we are about to bid farewell to the campus and go out into society.

Graduation season is coming, and everyone is starting to rush for their future.

Everyone is busy looking for a job, submitting a resume, or perfecting their graduation project.

There is a lot of pressure on employment, and the graduates are suddenly pulled back to the tense years of the senior high school entrance examination.

The day of leaving school is getting closer.

One weekend, Dagang came to me as usual.

We are about to separate again, and he and I both know that after leaving the campus, there may never be such convenient conditions for meeting again.

We walked down the boulevard of the university campus.

Each has something on his mind, and his emotions are a little lost.

In June and July, the weather was very hot.

He and I didn't speak for a long time.

We know each other that in a few days, with our respective choices, we will go our separate ways after choosing a career, and we will no longer have the opportunity to walk together at will to talk about youth and talk about things that we are familiar with.

"What are you going to do? Are you interested in signing a contract? After walking for a while, I glanced at him and broke the silence first.

"Do you still want to go back to the county seat to open a clinic?" I knew that this was a joke, or I was tentative, and asked him what he really thought about employment.

"Alas----", Dagang didn't respond, but sighed.

It seems that there is a lot to say, and I don't know where to start.

"Have you seen Lily lately?" , I already know the ending of Da Gang and her in my heart, and I still hope that there will be a trace of variables at the last moment of graduation and parting.

"I've met, and we've talked a lot." , Da Gang's answer was very crisp and calm, as if he had let go.

"Did you tell you about Lily's work? How did she plan it? "I asked him if he had talked a lot, and since he had talked a lot, this was a must-talk topic.

"She? As you originally guessed, she is going to the capital to find a job and guard Daliang. After Da Gang finished speaking, his face suddenly became ugly, and his expression was a little helpless.

"Daliang is still quite good, and he can be admitted to a graduate school in a first-class university in Beijing." I looked at his sad appearance with some emotion, and at the same time, I also found the most convincing reason for my friend's love failure.

"Yes, Daliang is quite good." Da Gang sighed again.

"I always thought that love would lose to time and distance, thinking that I would guard Lily every day, and things would turn around, and it seemed that I was wrong." He continued.

"The reason why I volunteered to follow Lily in the college entrance examination is that I want to guard her every day, watch her, and be with her every day, and I will have a chance. Daliang was so far away from her, and she didn't see her once a year, so she didn't expect ......" He lowered his head, his voice getting quieter and quieter.

It was as if I had been pricked in the heart.

I think of Ding Ling.

Ding Ling and I are also thousands of miles apart, but will she have me in her heart?

Will he be like Lily, who only has the same penniless Daliang in his eyes?

Will you go to my city without hesitation after graduation?

"Brother, don't worry, your true love hasn't appeared yet." I patted Dagang on the shoulder and tried to comfort him.

"What about yourself? What do you plan to do yourself? "I wanted to talk about something else, to avoid such an unpleasant topic.

"I didn't even want to leave school before I thought about it." , Da Gang's depressed appearance makes me a little worried.

"If you don't leave school, do you want to go to graduate school next?" I asked him.

"The point is that I haven't figured out where to go yet." He raised his head, and then lowered it again, his eyes were shining, and he looked very sad, as if the world was too big for him to have a suitable place.

"It's suitable for you to go to a place where there is no love, and heal slowly first." I looked at him, trying to make a joke to make him feel better.

Things do not turn out the way you want.

Da Gang was silent again.

I wanted to make him amuse, I didn't want to touch his wound again.

After a long while, he looked up at me.

"I really decided to stay in school for a while, and that's because I haven't figured out what to do yet." He said.

"Didn't you always want to study medicine? Now that you've finally graduated, you don't want to work? "I couldn't figure it out, even though I knew him very well, I suddenly didn't know what he really thought at the moment.

"I don't want to do anything medical." He spoke amazingly.

"And what do you want to do?" Dagang's words really surprised me.

"I want to calm down and then prepare for the civil service exam."

"No, haven't you always wanted to be a surgeon and save lives?" I wanted to convince him to change his mind, after all, it was a pity to give up all of them and start anew after studying his major for several years.

"Saving lives?" He suddenly laughed.

"Do you think I'm fit to be a doctor in my current state? I can't even save myself, how can I save others? There was a sadness in his laughter.

Once again, I was speechless.

Looking at his resolute look, I knew it was useless to say more.

It seems that he has been thinking about choosing a career for a long time, and he has already decided.

I just graduated and didn't leave school, maybe I just didn't want my parents to worry, and gave them an excuse.

I suddenly understood what he was going to do after graduation, a series of arrangements and ideas, and I didn't seem to have thoroughly figured it out.

Facing the familiar Dagang, I suddenly felt an inexplicable strangeness.

"Don't just talk about me, let's talk about you?" He regained his natural appearance and turned to look at me with concern in his eyes.

"What are your plans for graduation?"

"I was about to tell you." I felt the care of my friends, and my heart warmed.

"Together with Dazhi, I just signed a contract with an engineering company in Beijing yesterday and said that I would report to Beijing in August."

"That's good." Dagang was happy for my signing.

"It's a happy event, you have to invite me to drink in the evening."

"Okay, drinking, drinking, this is a trivial matter, going to Beijing to work, it may not be what the prospect is, but after all, there are more opportunities in the capital, let's take one step at a time."

I'm telling the truth.

The pace of life and pressure in the capital are huge, and I am a poor scholar, and it is still unknown whether I can survive.

"Drink at night, you call Dazhi and Ah Peng." Dagang proposed.

"By the way, Dazhi will go to the capital with you, what about Ah Peng? Did Peng sign a contract? Da Gang will never forget all the friends he knows and knows.

"Ah Peng." I laughed.

"You will never guess the signing of Ah Peng." I smiled at him.

"Why do you say that?" Dagang looked at me, a little curious.

"A person who believes least in love, signs up for love." I couldn't help but smile knowingly again.

"What do you mean by that?"

"You know where Peng's family lives, right?" I asked him.

"You know, it's not far from your school, in a county town below, he told me."

"Yes, Ah Peng has never been far from home since he was in elementary school and has been in college. You know that, right? “

"Of course, I've heard him talk about it."

"This time I signed a contract, Ah Peng is the farthest one in our class, his girlfriend is not from our class, the girl's hometown is in the south, and he signed in the girl's hometown in the south." I smiled and said to Dagang.

"In Peng's own words, he was hiking for the first and last time, for love."

"Really?" Da Gang was a little unconvinced.

"Did he really decide to go south? Can he, a northerner, adapt to going over there? ”

"It's true." I nodded affirmatively.

"Whether to adapt or not, only he knows."

Da Gang smiled. "That's interesting! In the evening, I have to pour that brother some wine, and sign a contract for love, and my courage is commendable! Haha......"

I also laughed, Da Gang and Ah Peng's alcohol consumption really had a fight. It seems that the small gathering in the evening, drinking is another evenly contested contest.

At the time of college parting, the story is the most dramatic.

I know why Dazhi gave up the relationship between his family and the provincial city and chose the capital, because Zhongguancun in the capital has a cousin with the same interests and hearts;

I also know why Peng, who has never believed in love, left his hometown for the first time and chose the far unknown south, because the magic of love changed his mind, and he gave up the job opportunity close to home for love, just to be able to continue to be with his girlfriend;

I know why Lily rushed to the capital without scruples even if she didn't have the intention to sign a contract, because there was a call from Daliang;

However, I don't know why I signed a contract with Beijing, which is so unfamiliar to me, just to develop more diversification? Where will your emotional life go?

However, all the unknowns, vaguely, seem to be predestined.

Goodbye, my university.

However, what changes will the career that I am about to enter the society bring to me?
