Chapter 20
Every day I soak with Suqi, and I can feel that my parents have noticed that I am abnormal. It's a good thing they didn't ask, otherwise I wouldn't have found any excuse to deal with it.
Our family has never been in the habit of visiting, after all, we don't know anyone, and we usually go to my grandfather's house and grandmother's house for a few days.
As soon as I have free time, I will go to Shuqi's house, and the time spent with her will always fly quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was already the day before the start of school. But unlike in the past, this year, under the supervision of Shuqi, I finished all my homework ahead of schedule. No more staying up late on the last day to do your work.
Before going to bed, I took a look at the WeChat group of the class, basically complaining that there was a lot of homework, and a team had been set up to stay up late to fight, and the homework answers had been screenshotted and sent to the group one by one through the search software. swiped the screen for a while, but no one said a word, just looked at the phone while burying their heads in copying.
In the past, anyone who swiped the screen continuously would be despised by others for a while, but now everyone is not sloppy.
I smiled, turned off my phone and fell asleep.
When I returned to school the next day, as soon as I stepped through the door, Shengjing rushed over and asked me for my chemistry homework. I also pretended to be a force, put my schoolbag down, took out my homework and threw him in a posture that I thought was very handsome. He didn't even look at me after the result, and he lowered his head and copied wildly.
"Haha, no one's paying attention to you right now." Bai Lan covered her mouth and said with a snicker.
I let out a "snort" of disdain.
"Look at your posture, your homework is finished?" She leaned over and said again.
I made an "OK" gesture and said, "Yes." ”
A sneer came from behind. I turned my head to see that Suqi had also arrived.
"Laughing at what?" I was dissatisfied.
"It's okay, it's okay, you're happy."
After handing in my homework, I walked around the classroom to see them make up their homework, as if I had seen the old me. Laughing while watching, I felt that I had attracted a wave of hatred in an instant. I don't know if I'll be pressed on the table when they finish their homework.
This is how the semester begins, and it is different in every way than the previous nine years. New environment, new classmates, new goals.
There are people who want to protect, and there are people who want to chase after them. At the opening ceremony, the leader spoke as usual, and after the generous speech, it seemed that everyone began to struggle, and Shengjing was no exception. Although there was no breakthrough in learning, when he participated in the city sports meeting at the end of March, he won applause and appreciation for himself and our school.
Everyone has their own goals and sticks to them, the number of people sleeping in class is not as good as before, and the smell of coffee fills the classroom with every class. Everyone worked hard in their own way, and although the way was different, the goal was the same - the Liberal Arts and Science Placement Test.
Everyone is looking forward to being assigned to key classes, studying hard, and finally being admitted to the university they like in two years. For their own future, for the appreciation of others.
This is a little different from junior high school, where you play almost every day, listen to occasional listens, and go to high school casually. But high school is different, if you slack off, you will be eliminated.
Now that you are not bitter or tired, what is the taste of high school life? This is a phrase that is often said by teachers of various subjects.
After the midterm exams, a few people picked up a weekend to get together.
"What are your ideals?" Xianqiong opened the topic.
"If I had the chance, I would like to become a Chinese teacher." I said slowly, because my mother was a secondary school teacher, and I wanted to be a gardener since I was a child.
"Admitted to the most famous university in China." Bai Lan took a sip of her drink and said, "After that, I will go to a foreign country to study for graduate school and become a philosopher." That's what I wanted to do until I was thirty. ”
"Well, of course, I'm going to be an athlete, go to the world arena, and win glory for the country." Shengjing mentioned the spirit and said.
"I just want there to be less oppression in the world and every family living in harmony." He An pushed his glasses and straightened up and said.
Everyone moved their eyes to Shu Qi, who was lying on the table with sleepy eyes, and she got up and rubbed her eyes after noticing. His gaze turned to me, and the mouth that had been opened closed again. After a while, he said listlessly: "No." ”
Just met Shuqi's eyes, and thought she would say something like "want to be with me". But she has a good face, as soon as this remark is revealed, Shengjing will inevitably laugh at her, and may even let the whole school know about Shengjing's big mouth. Thinking of this, I was relieved, and I smiled.
"What about you?" Bai Lan asked coldly, and everyone's eyes pointed to Xianqiong again.
"My dream is very simple." She lowered her head and said, her hands also gestured, "Get into a good university, go abroad with your boyfriend after graduation, and raise a lot of small animals at home." ”
Everyone nodded, and Xianqiong took out a black and white notebook from her bag, and a black background was circled in the middle, with a woman's smiling face painted on it.
"Let's just write these ideals on it, and open them again in many years to see if they are realized." Xian Qiong suggested.
Everyone was the same, took out a pen and passed the notebook to sign in turn. Shengjing is the last one.,After signing, the book "snapped" and closed. After touching it from his bag for a long time, he took out a camera: "Come on, come, take a photo to commemorate it." ”
"Did you bring a stand?" I wondered, could such a small bag have room for dissatisfaction like a robot cat's pocket?
"Nope." Shengjing looked serious.
"Then how do you get people in?"
"Find a passerby to shoot!"
…… The crowd was speechless.
"Here, look at the camera! 1,2,3! A warm-hearted uncle shouted with a smile and a camera. According to a few small talks between Shengjing and him, it seems that this humble uncle used to be a reporter for a well-known newspaper. However, with the rapid development of the Internet, online news seems to be easier and faster, and gradually no one buys newspapers anymore. Over time, the newspaper closed its doors and employees left.
"Thank you, uncle!" Sheng Jing took the camera with a satisfied face, pulled up the photo just now and showed it to everyone.
I took a look, and my heart was so beautiful. I mean everyone's smile, laughing from the heart, without any hypocrisy.
The same people, in a few years, everyone will laugh differently than they do now.
Towards evening, Xianqiong handed me the notebook and said with a smile: "The more important things are, the easier it is to leave me, and this has been the case since I was a child." You are more cautious, and I believe that what you value will not be easily lost. So you keep it, take it. Then he turned and walked away quickly.
This laugh, somewhat tough, is the ugliest laugh I've seen so far. It's like, half of the face is laughing, the other side is crying. Two very different expressions are mixed together.
This sentence always felt a bit of a codeword, I thought at the time.
But it was clear that after many years, all the things and people I cherished were gone. Her words weren't very accurate, and I often leaned on the edge of the bed, drunk and thought.
