The next step will be five years from now. During this five-year period, the protagonists mentioned in the story did not show much emotional fluctuations.

As mentioned above, Jiang Yang's summer vacation in the second year of high school, he handed over almost all of his salary for the past two months to his mother, and it was not easy to keep 100 yuan.

While his mother counted the money, he begged her to come up with some to help his sister buy a bicycle, and she agreed.

Gu Ling didn't meet him for the whole summer vacation, so you can imagine how exciting it was to meet again after school started; The two have always insisted on loving each other, Jiang Yang ran more diligently to the intersection and school, and in the cold winter, he still did everything he could, standing in a familiar corner and staying up until she finished self-study at night.

He was very aware of her worries about the college entrance examination, he knew that she was working hard to get into the university she wanted to go to, and he knew that her knowledge of physics and chemistry was deficient.

He also understands that she often doesn't show up at the agreed time on weekends.

"It doesn't matter, it's the worst thing to miss out on a crucial point that you might lose because you came out looking for me." When Gu Ling apologized for his gaffes, he always comforted him like this.

With the assistance of teachers and classmates, the supervision of her family, and the encouragement and support of Jiang Yang, Gu Ling finally lived up to expectations and was admitted to the university of her dreams.

It was Beijing, far away from Chaohu Lake, and a few days before she packed her bags and left, she anxiously searched around her home and on the neighboring streets, but she couldn't find him.

Until the day of the day when she had to leave came, and her mother was on her way to the train station with her, he suddenly stood next to the ticket office of the train station.

He had a calm expression and a slight smile on his face, and he did not show any other sadness of separation, and stood straight and looked at her.

When queuing up to buy a ticket, she was in a heavy mood, she could feel that Jiang Yang had been watching him from a short distance, but her mother was behind her, she didn't know what to do, she imagined that if she didn't have her mother's constraints, she would be willing to leave a little later, and even be willing to miss the time of the train ticket.

One by one, she twisted her neck and met his gaze.

Immediately, she realized that she would have to take this step sooner or later, into the narrow aisle. Is he also hoping that I will be able to leave later?

What about talking to me? She thought to herself. She could see that his smiling face was already showing signs that he couldn't help crying.

Is it really just a farewell? Mother took out her ID card from the window, she retracted her sore neck, and walked inside, but suddenly she heard—

"Wait until you get back." — was his voice. Her eyes moistened. The thriving life in college didn't change her original intention.

Every long holiday, Gu Ling would go home, before she bought the mobile phone, they didn't have any contact information, although there were many chat software used everywhere in the world at that time, but they forgot to arrange this because of the current matter.

Jiang Yang was not admitted to a decent university, but during the internship year, the school still assigned a job, and he obeyed the assignment and went to work as an online customer service in a game company in Wuhu.

After the first month's salary, he hurriedly took out his bank card, took out the money to buy a mobile phone, and after completing the card number, he was under the elm tree on the side of the road, and hurriedly took out a note from his pocket and dialed the number on it.

After connecting, he heard Gu Ling's voice, excitedly walking tirelessly around the street, and he also heard the surprise she showed when she heard his voice.

The two talked about a lot of topics they thought were interesting, but in the end they didn't want to hang up first, Jiang Yang waited for the bus until he got on the bus, and the mobile phone line was still smooth.

"I'll hang up and call you." Gu Ling really hung up as he spoke, and then took the initiative to call.

"No, I'll call you." Jiang Yang also said, and then hung up and called Gu Ling again.

"Let me call you, right?"

"No, I'll call you." They cut off everything, and at last they found that such humility was too much of a delay in their conversation.

"I swear I'll top up your phone bill with 50 yuan tomorrow." Jiang Yang said.

"Oh! No, then I'll charge it for you too. Gu Ling retorted stubbornly. Since then, they can't help but sprout thoughts and can't help but contact them on their mobile phones.

Once, she told him that she was going to give up the graduate school entrance examination and study the civil service. However, it seems that by the magic of Jiang Yang's blessing, in the fourth year of college, she really became the last person left in countless screenings.

"Back to Chaohu?"

"Yes, working in a bank."

"That's great, it's going to be a great place to work."

"Yes, great." On the other hand, over the years, Chen Yue has gradually grown from a miscellaneous assistant to a decent carpenter worker.

It was not an easy task to get this far. In the first year, he had no salary and only received a padded jacket from his master; the second year, three thousand plus a padded jacket; It wasn't until the beginning of the spring of the third year that the master officially approved him to become a teacher, and he could have an income of 1,400 yuan per month; The master asked him if he would like to, and he immediately said yes.

In 2011, such a salary is indeed difficult to say, but he is still very satisfied with this treatment, never complains, he has a naïve idea: work is just a necessity of life, even if there is no salary to pay, so what?

Getting paid is an extra surprise. Look at Jiang Xiaoai, the younger sister who lives in Jiangyang, she is really a very unexpected child, her grades dropped sharply in the third year of junior high school and became out of control; All this is to blame for her temper.

On a weekend evening at the beginning of the third year of junior high school, she walked up to her parents, who were sitting at the table face to face.

"Mom and Dad, I want to talk to you about something."

"What's the matter?"

"Let Chen Yue give me a make-up lesson, I hope to go to his house every night to help me answer difficult questions, is that okay?"

"He's giving you make-up lessons?" Mom and Dad looked at each other in surprise at the same time.

"Let's pull it down, my dear, what can I do by making up for you? Tell you, you still stay at home obediently at night, and don't always think about playing on weekends! "Faced with the opposition of her parents, she was very dissatisfied in her heart, and her father taught her the topic, and she was absent-minded.

She thinks that no matter how hard she tries to improve her grades, she always feels like something is missing around her. In the end, she followed the same path as her brother in high school, and obeyed the early employment arranged by the school halfway.

Ran into a hotel restaurant and became a backyard dishwasher, and the work was very hard. But she gradually had a magical motivation, perhaps influenced by Chen Yue.

Because she is a neighbor, she and he can often meet: go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, buy breakfast in the morning, come out to chat at noon, and go out for a walk in the evening.

However, after a few years of getting along, these two boys and girls who have stepped into the flowering season still maintain a fairly restrained distance, and they have not dared to meet each other head-on.

Okay, stop, that's about the stories worth caring about in the past five years. The author also felt very sorry to pass them aside, but in order to avoid the story becoming only told about the student days, so that readers would be misunderstood and even annoyed.

Let's step forward to the reality in five years' time.
