Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Senior's Pocket

101

Everyone has their own life trajectory, although birth, old age, sickness and death are inevitable, but the twists and turns are bizarre, wonderful, black, white and gray can only be experienced by themselves.

After the eleventh holiday, the real study life kicked off. The most important part of learning is advanced mathematics, and calculus is really not learned. As for hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon and nitrogen, there is no other way but to carry it back.

Our school is a century-old school, and our department is also a century-old department. Even the teachers are old professors. These professors have traditional teaching methods and philosophies. I always hope that every child who comes to university can seriously study knowledge, learn a skill, and contribute to the motherland and society in the future. What a simple teacher. Therefore, our department attaches more importance to academic performance, and the discipline in the examination room is also stricter during the examination. So I had to study seriously.

What I remember most vividly during the learning process is that in the first year, the school prepared a special course for all girls, the physiological hygiene class. Physiology and hygiene in our country never teach about sex. There is still this course in primary school, but it is often not classed, either for Chinese or mathematics, and there is no such course in junior high school and high school. So there is less knowledge of this from formal sources, at least not to me.

So I thought this particular class was particularly useful. I still remember what the teacher said at the end of the teaching, every girl should protect her most precious first time, and don't give it to someone easily and casually. After this class, the main content of the dormitory "sleeper talk" that night was the affairs of men and women. I didn't interject, listening to their chatting with each other. It was finally quiet that I began to think about sleeping.

I wrote all these things in a letter and sent them to my brother, but he never replied to me. But I didn't give up, I didn't want to give up, I won't forget, so I kept writing to him. The days in prison are always monotonous, so let's give such a monotonous day a little color. Tell him that my world is wonderful, the outside world is wonderful, and I want him to come out early and feel the excitement with me.

As for the third brother, there has been no contact since that day. I didn't call again. At first, he occasionally called the dormitory, and when I answered the phone, I didn't talk much, and gradually I stopped calling. They are all smart people, and there are some things that need not be said.

In this way, life passed uneventfully.

It's Christmas in the blink of an eye, and after Christmas is New Year's Day, and after New Year's Day, you can go home.

At that time, although Christmas was not as popular as it is now, many businesses had already started to hold events. There are many classmates in college who work part-time, and I would like to do it too, after all, my family background. I never thought my family was bad, but I wasn't that good. One is to increase some social experience, and the other is to subsidize one's own life. At that time, my mother gave me 500 yuan a month, in fact, I had enough, basically for food, I didn't pay attention to clothes and cosmetics, after all, clothes are expensive and not expensive.

Some of the students who study well are tutors, and the income from tutoring is relatively high. But I'm not good at studying, so I don't have that diamond or that porcelain job, so I just want to find a low-tech job.

The class leader of the third class is a local, and the people are also lively, although there are not many intersections in normal times, but the public classes are always taken together. If you don't look up and don't look down, you can count your face as familiar. I reached out to him and made my intentions clear to him. He didn't hesitate to tell me that a certain TV brand in a shopping mall happened to be in short supply, and the two of us went to the interview together this weekend. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to do the interview because I had a very serious face. The leader of the third class didn't say a word, and told me an important piece of information, the senior who "saved me" back then was the person in charge of this brand, and he would be able to get by.

It is said that university is a small society, I live a simple life, I have not felt the complexity of this small society, from this incident, the small society began to let me learn knowledge beyond the textbook.

I struggled for a while, and went to find my senior Meng Fan again. He was also enthusiastic, and was very happy after listening to me, told me the time and place, and asked me to go with the third shift leader. Because you are a newcomer, you need to receive a little simple training.

The training is scheduled for Thursday afternoon, the shortlisted candidates will be notified on Friday, and the official induction will begin on Saturday. After all, it's admitted, so there won't be more complicated procedures. On Thursday afternoon, I went to the training with Liu Jie, the leader of the third shift, and after the training, it was a simple assessment. I still remember the assessment question. There was only one question, and one examiner asked a room of us at the same time. The topic is how to make more customers pay attention to our products or our publicity. I remember that others thought about it for a long time, and some of the answers were very lofty, and I was dumbfounded when I heard them. I can't actually think of an answer, but I will imitate and plagiarize, so my answer is: don't miss it when you pass by......

I thought I would definitely not pass, but I didn't expect that Meng Fan came to me on Friday afternoon and asked me to work early on Saturday morning. I am very happy.

I went to ask Liu Jie, and he also passed. Meet the two of us on Saturday. But it was not beautiful, it snowed heavily on Friday night, and there was still a thick layer of snow on the ground early Saturday morning.

As soon as the day dawned, Liu Jie and I stepped on the school gate and waited for the bus. Just after waiting for a while, Meng Fan also came over and looked at us.

"To do it?"

"Yes, senior," Liu Jie replied, but I didn't answer.

"It's so early, we can't wait for a bus here, we have to go to the intersection and take bus No. 19."

"Oh"

The two of us followed him. The snow on the road was so thick that it was ankle high. This is the heaviest snow I've had since I arrived in City B. In order to catch the early bus, everyone was concentrating on walking, and no one was saying anything. In fact, heavy snowfall like this is common in my hometown, and such cold temperatures are commonplace, and I love snow.

I don't know if it's out of my body or what's wrong, my feet slipped, "Ahh.....hh Looking up, it was the senior.

"Thank you, senior." Liu Jie next to me also looked at me embarrassedly.

"I'm fine, you're okay."

"It's okay, thank you."

He helped me to stand up, "Why are your hands so cold, are they cold?" ”

"It's not cold, it's like this in winter"

The senior was not polite, grabbed my hand and put it in his pocket. I still remember his expression at the time, and he said casually, "It's not cold, let's go"

I looked back at Liu Jie, but Liu Jie didn't raise his head and continued to walk. I don't know how to do it.

Meng Fan also stuffed his hand into his pocket and held my hand all the time. The palm of the hand gradually warmed. Just walked all the way, all the way awkwardly.

My brother has been in for more than half a year, and I have been writing all the time, but I have not received a reply to this day. But I still haven't given up. From the first book that my brother gave me in the second year of junior high school, to this Christmas, it has been six years. He was actually across from me that Christmas, but who was standing across from me this year?

In fact, it is not easy, you can't sit all day, 30 yuan a day. At the end of the day, I feel like my legs are going to be straight. After work, I have to squeeze the bus back to school.

Walking out of the mall gate after work, Meng Fan was already waiting for me. I could only walk over and say, "Senior, you, will you go back to school?" ”

"Coming out? Let's go, wait for you to go back to school together."

"Wait for me?"

"It's dark, I'm not worried about waiting for you here when you go alone."

"Alone? What about Liu Jie? ”

"He was in charge of distributing leaflets outside the mall today, and it was too cold for the afternoon when there were fewer people, so he asked him to go back first."

"Oh"

"Let's go," he said, taking my hand and putting it in his pocket.

At the time, I wondered if I should refuse. But his actions were so successful that I didn't even have a chance to hesitate or refuse.

Across the road, a person, a car, a cigarette. I didn't notice. The third brother leaned against the car and smoked a cigarette, spitting out smoke rings. He saw it all. All my actions seemed to him to be rejection and welcome, and to be shy.

Maybe that's what I'm talking about: each returning to its own world, continuing to live its own life.

And I was dragged all the way to the bus stop by my seniors, squeezed into the bus and went back to school.

The third brother changed to a white four-circle car, which I hadn't seen, so I didn't notice it. Besides, I haven't been in touch for a long time, who would have thought that he would come. The third brother drove us all the way back.

At the door of the dormitory building, Meng Fan said, "I'll wait for you here early tomorrow morning, let's go together." ”

"Huh? No, I'll just go myself. Besides, don't you have Liu Jie?"

"Liu Jie said that he won't go tomorrow"

"Huh? Why?"

"I guess it's too hard."

Too hard? Sending flyers too hard? All right. I don't know how to refuse this senior, so let's leave first and then say, "Senior, thank you today." I went back first and was in a hurry to fetch water. "In the university, hot water needs to be fetched in the boiling water room.

"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow morning." With that, he left

I was depressed and walked to the dormitory. The third brother stood under a tree not far from the dormitory building, looking at us. There is a cigarette case in his left hand, which he keeps spinning, and he holds a cigarette between his index and middle fingers in his right hand. I never noticed him.

I went back to the dormitory for a while, took a thermos and went down to get hot water. The third brother thought that I would not come down, so he also left. When I got out of the door of the building, I vaguely saw his back, and I didn't call him because I thought it was impossible. The third brother left City B and returned to City A that night. I guess I think I've really started a new life and don't need him anymore.

I turned on the hot water, went back to the dormitory, and sat on the edge of the bed in a daze. I'm wondering what this senior is going to do tomorrow morning. It makes people feel very depressed. Actually, it doesn't hurt to walk down together, just hold my hand like this. I'm really a little disgusted. I remember that the only people who put my hands in my pockets were my best female classmates in high school. Her hands are warm in the winter and I like to put my hands in her pockets, and we are both close to each other on the bike, and our hands are in her pockets.
