Chapter Seventy-Four: Untitled
Lin Feng is a rural baby who lives in a remote village in N City.
He is the eldest and most prosperous in the family, in addition to him, there are also elderly fathers and two younger sisters who no longer go to school, and his mother died a few years ago due to a serious illness and lack of money for treatment.
My father also became much older because of my mother's departure, and when he was just in his early forties, he had already grown gray hair.
My father's thinking is more feudal and he thinks that what changes the trajectory of his life is the college entrance examination, so his father would rather let his two younger sisters give up going to school than give up his studies.
He remembers that in the year of his mother's death, he was the eldest son who held a vigil in front of his mother's coffin.
That night, he looked at his mother's peaceful face, cried and told his father that he didn't want to go to school and wanted to live in front of his father for the rest of his life.
He lost his mother, who had always loved him, and when his mother died, he didn't even see him for the last time, and he didn't want to lose his father with him.
The father, who had always been honest, did not speak after hearing his son's words, and silently lit a dry cigarette and smoked it and extinguished it.
Turned around and walked to the kitchen, took out a kitchen knife that ordinary people use for cooking, put it around his neck, and said to him word by word:
"Do you know what your mom said before she died? Your mother said that she can't cure this disease anyway, and she doesn't want to waste your school money on treatment, just like letting you get admitted to college and get ahead! Your grandfather is a farmer, your father and I are also farmers, but I don't want your turn, you are also a farmer! Live with your face to the loess and your back to the sky all your life! I don't want you to ruin your future! I don't want you to live in the mountains for the rest of your life! ”
"Your dad and I have no education in my life, I admit it! Who made your dad and I didn't catch up with the good times, but you're different! You are the only one in the family who has a chance, and you must be the one who must be productive! Even if your two sisters come out, it's not much use, there is no way to glorify the ancestors, and the hope of our lives is all on you alone! Your mom doesn't want to delay your studies, and I don't want to see you give up on your life. ”
"Now in front of your mother, I want you to swear that you must be admitted to college, or I will accompany your mother immediately!"
That night, he didn't know how he promised his father, only that since then, he has become reticent, he doesn't like to communicate with people, and in the three years of high school, he didn't have any friends, and he didn't need friends, except for studying, he just did problems all day. The only belief in my mind is to get into college.
After the college entrance examination, he returned home to help his father.
On that day, he and his father were facing the plough when an envelope quietly arrived.
That day, my father, who had never touched alcohol since his mother's death, got drunk for the first time.
On that day, the whole village roared with firecrackers, just because their village had a top student in the college entrance examination!
That night, he knelt in front of his mother's grave and wept in an inhuman form.
Over the next few days, his father took him to several homes for dinner. Seeing his father's gray hair and happy face, he could not tell what he thought.
Half a month later, he left the village with more than half of his family's savings and got on the train to H City.
Looking at the magnificent and spectacular gate of H University, he suddenly felt that life was nothing more than that, and when the beliefs that supported him before disappeared, he fell into confusion.
"Classroom 000? Is there still a classroom in the school? ”
Lin Feng showed the report to the others in the dormitory, wanting to ask anyone who knew where this classroom was.
However, everyone said that they had not heard of this classroom, but they were equally sure that the school had this classroom, and it was not someone else's prank.
After that, it was time for military training in college.
This is a bit hard for a person who has been doing rural work since childhood, but it is not as bitter as others.
On the first day of military training, Lin Feng found that he liked this kind of training.
There is no need to think about anything else, and there is no need to look at other people's faces, the only thing to obey is to listen to the instructor's orders.
The whole person's brain does not need to think about anything else, only orders and obedience!
At noon on the second day of military training, Lin Feng was sitting at a dining table eating alone, when suddenly a voice sounded from the dining table in front of him.
"What do you say! You don't remember Su Xue? ”
"Fourth, why are you so excited! Sit down! ”
Raising his head, he saw that it was a handsome-looking young man who looked like he was about the same age.
Lin Feng just glanced at it, then continued to lower his head to eat, he didn't have any interest in other people's private affairs, now he just wanted to finish eating quickly, and then find a shady place to rest for a while, waiting for the afternoon training.
That night, he was woken up by the sound of talking from downstairs, and thought that it was probably some students in the city who wanted to sneak out in the middle of the night to play, so he didn't pay much attention to it and continued to sleep with his head covered.
On the third day of military training, he found that there was one person missing from their team, but he had just come into contact with other people, and he couldn't remember who didn't come to participate in military training, so he didn't pay attention to it, and continued to obey the instructor's orders.
On the fourth day, it seemed that someone in the next class had been punished for contradicting the instructor, and the instructor asked us to run a few laps to warm up.
On the fifth day, everything was as usual, nothing changed.
On the sixth day, the military training seemed to be coming to an end, and some people were reluctant to live this life, as if it had been like this all along.
On the seventh day, a person in the next class seemed to be fighting with someone, and it looked like the one who yelled in the cafeteria last time, but his temperament changed a lot, how to say it? It gives me a very dangerous feeling, but it has nothing to do with me, I guess I can't touch it, so let's continue to stand in a military posture.
Day eight, huh? The boy who fought yesterday didn't seem to have come to military training, and I heard from a friend that he seemed to be sick, and I remembered the reason for my mother's death, forget it, I still have my father and two younger sisters at home, and now the most important thing is to study hard.
On the ninth day, today should be the last day of military training, and tomorrow the school will come to pick us up, and I am really reluctant to let those roommates and instructors go, but life still has to go on.
On the tenth day, I will take the bus today, I want to say goodbye to my roommates and instructors, and tomorrow will start the first day of college life, and I don't know who my roommate is tonight?
Hey? My roommate turned out to be the boy who fought during military training!
It's really a big world, and there are no surprises, but now he seems to be the same as the last time he fought, and that sense of danger is gone.
It turns out that his name is Jiang Liu, a very nice name, but his face is a little unsightly, I don't know why?
That's right! I don't know which classroom he's going to report to tomorrow?
What the! He will also report to classroom 000 tomorrow? That's a coincidence, isn't it?
It seems that I have a good relationship with this classmate, and I can let him lead the way tomorrow.
But why doesn't anyone else know where this classroom is?
