Chapter 35: A Thought of Heaven
May 12, 2008 is a day I will never forget.
At half past two in the afternoon, we had just sat down in the classroom, and before the teacher could start teaching, the teaching building shook violently.
"It's an earthquake, everyone run."
I will never forget my physics teacher, who was supposed to be closest to the classroom door, but arranged for the students to run first and retreat last.
When I was studying, I estimated that I could only sit in the first row, and at that moment, I looked particularly majestic and tall.
Huddled in the crowd retreating to the playground, I had a deep understanding of despair for the first time.
The floor under your feet is like cotton, and you can't step on it.
One foot deep and one foot shallow.
Always worry that the next floor slab will crack, and you will step on the air, and then fall, die, and end your life.
Flowey didn't run with us, she overslept at noon that day, and was on her way from the dormitory to the classroom at the time of the earthquake.
Because it was running, she didn't feel the ups and downs of the ground.
It wasn't until she saw the porcelain diamonds falling off from the teaching building and the students who fled with their heads in their arms that Huahua realized that something was wrong.
My classmates and I were fortunate that we made the successful transfer to the playground. The school buildings built in the '80s did not collapse except for horrific cracks.
Flowey weaved through the crowd on the playground, not stopping breathlessly until she found me.
"Ermao, are you okay......" Huahua was a little out of breath, "It's okay to ...... if it's okay"
I naturally didn't know Huahua's feelings for me at the time, thinking that it was just out of a friend's concern.
"I didn't ...... It's okay. "I have to admit, my voice trembles a little.
Flowey stood with me that afternoon.
Although we rarely speak, we are all praying and comforting.
There was no signal on my mobile phone, so I couldn't call to report that I was safe, and there was no phone to call in to confirm if we were safe.
We are out of touch with the world!
In addition to fear, the earthquake brought me the luck of the rest of my life.
Because of the earthquake, my only request for the university became not to stay in Sichuan.
It's not that I don't love it, it's that I'm afraid.
If I don't love it, I won't come back again after four years.
Huahua is different, the art professional examination is almost over, and she has passed the professional examination of several colleges and universities in Jincheng.
She didn't have a choice, and if she passed the cultural class, she had to stay in Chuanuchi. I didn't pass the culture class, so she had to repeat my path and repeat it.
Later, I went to Wuhan, the city of Jiang.
Huahua arrived in Jincheng.
When I filled in the volunteer, Huahua asked me why I didn't choose Jincheng University, and I said that I was afraid of the earthquake.
Huahua said, don't be afraid, Jincheng has me. I patted her on the head, and at 5.12, you didn't run down the stairs, and you never understood that fear.
Huahua also said that Jincheng City is located in the plain and is very safe.
I said you're right, I'm really going to the plains, I'm going to the Jianghan Plain.
On the other hand, Sijie and Huahua's concern and greetings over the past year completely dispelled my plan to go to Beijing. Because I am most afraid of sudden concern, it is from acquaintances and friends.
So, I, Sijie, Huahua and Erya, four people and three places.
At that time, WeChat was not as common as QQ, and it did not support pulling discussion groups. Sijie set up a group, and there were only four of us in the group.
I still remember that the group name "Lonely Smokes a Cigarette" was taken by the four precepts.
Later, I learned to smoke. I told Sijie about it, because of the group name, whenever I was lonely, I smoked a cigarette.
So, I learned to smoke and became addicted to smoking.
College time flies. Sijie posted a hero post in the group of students in our experimental middle school early on, saying that he wanted to greet everyone for a reunion.
Sijie has changed from classmate Qin to Boss Qin, President Qin.
The things that Erya told me about the family background of the four precepts in the experimental middle school later turned out to be almost true.
Sijie went to Beijing to learn about real estate construction with his mother. Because someone brought it, and Sijie was already smart, that is, in two years, the color of the helmet on Sijie's head changed from yellow to red.
In the fourth year, Sijie's mother resigned from the original company and took Sijie out to work alone, although the scale of the project was a little smaller, but it earned more than the original work for others.
The backbone of real estate construction is migrant workers, who usually do not have a weekend off, but they have always insisted on going home for the New Year.
The time of the migrant workers' vacation is about the same as the time of our college students' winter vacation, so Erya didn't even take the train, but came back by the four precepts.
Sijie sent Erya to the head of Ganbai Village, and then gave smoke to the onlookers.
Erya's father has been working under Sijie's mother, and he is very familiar with Sijie and invites Sijie to sit at home. Sijie politely declined, saying that there were leaders in the county who had dinner tonight and wanted to talk about investment.
Before Sijie drove away, he came over and hugged me.
"Brother, long time no see!"
I feel that the four precepts are a little unfamiliar, and some of them are unattainable.
I smiled, didn't know what to say, just lightly punched him in the chest.
"It's a good mix, Daben is all on." I said.
"What's the big run," Sijie said, "No way, go out to talk about things, if you take a taxi, or drive a car that is almost bad, no one else will take care of you, there is no way to ......"
Before Sijie drove away, he specially said to me, "Class reunion, come early!" ”
I said, okay.
I did go to the county seat early. I didn't go to the hotel booked by Sijie as soon as possible, but found a flower shop nearby. I spent a semester saving living expenses and ordered 99 roses.
Tell the boss to wait for my phone call and deliver it on time, which delayed me and her urgency.
The boss, of course, was from here, and said to me with a smile, "Don't worry, handsome guy, I will never delay you in holding the beauty!" ”
The reason why I decided to confess Erya is that Erya told me before that it is one of the reasons why someone is chasing her in college, and more importantly, she came back by Sijie Daben this year, and will she come back next year by someone else's BMW.
I believe that Flowey is the girl who would rather laugh on a bicycle than cry in a BMW rush. But I also believe that Flowey is someone who would rather laugh in a BMW than on a bike.
Normal people are people who are more willing to laugh in a BMW.
It's just that as soon as I arrived at the hotel set by Sijie, Erya gave me a thunderbolt on a sunny day.
"Ermao, I'm with Sijie."
I saw Erya and Sijie holding hands. Although there are no ten fingers clasped, it is still intimate.
"Haha." I was a little embarrassed, and I didn't know what to say.
My neck was suddenly grabbed by someone, and I subconsciously turned around to see that it was Huahua.
"When did you grow this tall?" I quickly changed the subject, "I'm as tall as my brother......"
"Of course, the heel is ten centimeters!" Sijie let go of Erya's hand and reached over to shake hands with Huahua, "Hello, Huahua!" ”
"Hello, Sijie!"
Flowey retracted the hand that was on my neck, and then reached out to shake Sijie's hand.
I really want to feel the temperature of Erya's hand, but I don't have the courage to reach out and say, hello, Erya.
I motioned for Sijie to take Erya and Huahua to the hotel first.
I stayed behind and made a call to the florist owner.
"Boss, the flowers won't be sent."
"The deposit is non-refundable!" The boss said on the other end of the phone.
I let out an "um" and hung up.
