1. Alumni reunion
Lang Tao Sha Beidaihe
Summer 1954
Heavy rain falls on the swallow,
The white waves are monstrous,
Fishing boats outside Qinhuangdao.
There is no ocean to be seen,
Who's on the side?
The past is more than a thousand years,
Wei Wu whipped his whip,
There is a posthumous chapter in the east of the Jieshi.
The bleak autumn wind is now again,
Changed the world.
Chairman Mao's poem can be said to be an endorsement for Qinhuangdao, so that this place named after Qin Shihuang has rapidly developed into a coastal city and a red recuperation base.
In recent years, the Qinhuangdao government has made great efforts to make the city more beautiful and the environment more comfortable, which really responds to the rhetoric of "changing the world".
Qinhuangdao in August is not as hot as Beijing and Tianjin, but there are a few cool breezes swirling, blowing the sunset in the sky.
800 meters in front of the Harbour Hotel, on the side of the road, a silver-white Dongfeng Nissan car was parked, and a young man in his 20s who was 1.8 meters old walked out of it, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a flat face in Chinese characters, wearing blue jeans and a red and white thin horizontal T-shirt.
"Master, thank you, I'll settle the money for you in a while." He lit a cigarette, greeted the Didi driver, and turned to walk towards the Harbour Hotel.
This Harbour Hotel, however, is a high-end venue for government reception, and generally does not host private parties. The people who can come here are all people with heads and faces.
"Hello sir, do you have an appointment?" Miss Manners asked.
"That, the Teachers' College party, is it here?" The lad asked.
"Yo, Shoko, are you here? Long time no see. Suddenly, a man's voice came from behind him.
"Oh, Liu Yu, you just arrived, let's go, let's go." Shoko warmly greeted the delicate man who came over, and the two walked to the second floor together.
Xiangzi, named Wang Zixiang, a native of Handan Yongnian, is a student in the second class of the Department of Education of Qinhuangdao Normal University in 2011, and now teaches physical education at Shanhaiguan No. 3 Middle School. This is the first class reunion to celebrate the fifth anniversary of graduation.
It is said that the current class reunion is a hotbed for flaunting wealth and engaging in improper relationships between men and women.
He still retains a nostalgia for the pure friendship of the past.
As a foreigner, it doesn't matter to him, but he has no money to do it, so he can only rely on these classmates to help.
Although he is not very good, he is not inferior, he doesn't have a car, he can take a taxi.
And I heard that the top five beauties in the class will come to the party this time, and it is said that Wei Yueru, the class flower, will also come, which is a huge temptation for him, a single older young man.
The gathering was set up in a small ballroom on the second floor, with two vermilion lacquer doors opening outward. In front of the door is a large arch five meters long and three meters high, with a banner pulled.
"Warmly celebrate the graduation of the second class of the Department of Education of Qinhuangdao Normal University in 2011 and reunite five years later."
The banquet hall is 300 square meters, supported by six dragon pillars, with a vermilion carpet and luxurious European-style flying fire crystal lamps hanging in the air.
Looking at the sea from the window, a trapezoidal stage of 20 square meters, sound and projection are readily available.
Under the stage, there are three tables of banquets, the finished words are distributed, no one has come to the main table, Liu Yu and Wang Zixiang sat on a table on the left side together, chatting with some male and female classmates.
"Xiaohong, your bag is good, where did you buy it?" An average-looking fat woman asks the short-haired woman next to her.
"Oh, this is a gift from my student's parents, I'll ask you when I get back." The short-haired woman said nonchalantly.
"Huh? So good? The parents of the students are so generous. ”
"Hey, this is the society now, and the parents of the students want the teachers to accept their gifts in order to take care of their children, and they can rest assured." The short-haired woman was a little proud.
"Don't look at me teaching primary school students, but I'm a homeroom teacher, what kind of bag, cosmetics, mobile phone, only I give them some meaning, and I'll send it immediately."
"Then you're not afraid that they will accuse you of taking bribes?"
"Hehe, their children are in my hands, how dare they, besides, what evidence is there, I just said that I think this bag is good, that brand of cosmetics is easy to use, who can prove that I want it."
"Then the parents of the students are not all rich, what can they do if they don't have money?"
"If you don't have money, you have to develop their surplus value, for example, if your parents pour seafood, let them send seafood, and if you grow fruits, you have to get ten boxes of apples."
One of the two women humbly asks for advice, and the other teaches by word and deed, but she really has the demeanor of a teacher.
"Liu Yu, where are you now?" Wang Zixiang didn't like to listen to these women's vulgar and shameless topics, so he pulled Liu Yu to start his life.
"I'm still teaching Chinese at the three elementary schools in the harbor." Liu Yu responded.
"Hey, let me ask you, who organized this party, can book this place, it's very good." Wang Zixiang asked enviously.
"Say it, you may not believe it, do you remember Wang Dequan?" Liu Yu said mysteriously.
"Is that the immoral dog?" As soon as Wang Zixiang said it in surprise, he was grabbed by Liu Yu and made a gesture to lower his voice.
"You kid is looking for death, now this guy is not the original scumbag and bad boy, he climbed to the senior deputy director of the Provincial Education Commission, became the son-in-law of the door, and became the deputy director of Haigang No. 1 Middle School, but we can't afford to provoke it."
"Huh!?" Hearing Liu Yu's words, Wang Zixiang's heart was like rain, and he was cold.
Unexpectedly, the original scumbag has now become an authoritative figure, working hard by himself, and he doesn't even have a car, so where to reason.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Director Wang is here, let's go and greet him." At this time, a male classmate with eyes walked in and beckoned everyone to go downstairs to greet Wang Dequan, although Wang Zixiang was a little awkward, but he still went down with Liu Yu.
There was a black elongated Lincoln parked at the door, and two men in black suits in front of the car respectfully opened the door, and out came a man of medium height, with his hair combed, and then out of a seductive woman in pink.
This man is Wang Dequan, the woman, who is also a classmate in their class, Qiao Xue, who ranks second on the beauty list.
Qiao Xue twisted her hips, threw her wink, and snuggled up to Wang De's body, Wang Dequan's right hand was also on her soft waist, and at a glance, she knew that the relationship between the two was not ordinary.
As if walking on the red carpet, the two walked into the banquet hall and sat at the main table amid the attention and praise of their classmates.
Only then did Wang Zixiang recognize that the tall man who opened the car door just now was a nickname Da Niu in their class, and the other was a small man, but he was from another class, and his nickname was Heizi.
At eight o'clock, Wang Dequan walked on the stage in everyone's cheers, the lights converged on him, he indifferently picked up the microphone, and said loudly: "Classmates, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you okay?" ”
"Good!" Twenty or thirty people echoed in harmony, voices echoing above the hall. I have to say that this is a scene person with rich experience and good at organization.
"Thanks to everyone's love, let me organize this party, all the expenses today will be borne by me, please drink as much as you want, don't get drunk and don't go home!"
"Thank you, Director Wang, it's really a big deal."
"It's still Director Wang who has the courage to mess with you in the future."
"If you marry, you will marry Director Wang, what, Director Wang, do you remember me Zhang Xiaoyu?"
……
Wang Zixiang frowned, these people are too realistic, and the sycophants are too explicit.
"What's the matter, this guy is so unconscionable, he doesn't even recognize his biological parents, what can he expect him to take care of us?" Liu Yu said disdainfully in Wang Zixiang's ear.
"Huh? Is he such a person? ”
"Well, I'll tell you when I have time, let's just drink."
"Hehe, today is the beginning of autumn, the autumn breeze is cool, let's get together rarely, I'll have a glass of wine with you first." Wang Dequan raised his glass and drank a glass of wine, and everyone drank the wine in the cup one after another, and sat down to eat food.
"Sorry, I'm late." A crisp woman's voice pierced through the noise, and everyone couldn't help but look back.
At the door of the hall, there was a young woman, one meter seven tall, white clothes like snow, starry eyes and moon eyebrows, red lips and pink cheeks, although she was dressed plainly, but like a hollow valley orchid, outstanding and peerless.
"Wei Yueru is a big beauty, you're too late, come, punish yourself." Wang Dequan laughed, picked up a glass of wine, and walked towards Wei Yueru.
"Hmph, what's the big deal." Qiao Xue pouted dissatisfiedly. She is known for her fame, but she has always been pressed by Wei Yueru, and naturally treats her as a mortal enemy.
The two of them have their own wonders, just like Ling Shuang Hanmei, like delicate roses, Wei Yue has a dusty state, and Qiao Xue has an amorous posture.
"I won't drink it." Wei Yue replied like cutting ice and snow, making the scene instantly chill.
"Haha, it doesn't matter if you don't drink it, our Wei Da Beauty, but the recognized class flower of our class, not only is her beauty unmatched, but she also plays the piano well, can you enjoy the light today and give me a song to cheer everyone up?"
Wang Dequan pointed to a piano in the corner of the stage, and was cheeky and invited her to accompany her, and a few dogs immediately coaxed, which made Wei Yueru quite embarrassed.
"I learn the piano as a hobby, not for show, and I don't have the habit of accompaniment to others." Wei Yueru said lightly.
"Hehe, don't have the habit of accompaniment to others? , how could you accompany Zhao Yuankang in the first place? Wang Dequan asked loudly.
"It's none of your business, I still have something to do, everyone continue." At the mention of Zhao Yuankang's name, Wei Yueru was a little distracted and left the venue in a hurry, leaving only a quiet back.
She came in a hurry, but it caused ripples in the hearts of her classmates, not her peerless beauty, but the name that had lived together for four years - Zhao Yuankang.
"Wang Zixiang, aren't you fellow countrymen with Zhao Yuankang? In the past two years, we have not heard from that kid, you tell me, is he dead or alive? ”
Wang Dequan was snubbed by Wei Yueru and had nowhere to vent, so he burned his anger on Zhao Yuankang.
He walked to Wang Zixiang's table, staring at Wang Zixiang with round eyes, Da Niu and Heizi followed closely behind him, Wang Zixiang couldn't avoid it, stood up, and faced this turmoil.
