shocking
As soon as I stepped out of the house, I was stunned by what I saw. It is the end of spring and the beginning of summer, the sun is shining, the grass is happy, the acacia flowers are fragrant, the beautiful scenery of butterflies and flowers is gone, replaced by a gray and lifeless sky, a devastated earth, huge cracks across the asphalt road, most of the trees on both sides of the road have withered, the grass is dying, and some buildings in disrepair stand crumblingly on the side of the road, as if a gust of wind can easily uproot them. There were very few pedestrians on the road, and from time to time I saw one or two people hurrying by with their heads down.
I stared at it all blankly, and I couldn't believe my eyes at the shocking sight.
I looked at my sister, who was already ahead of her, her ponytailed head drooping, as if she was pondering something. I had a lot of questions, but I didn't know where to ask, so I had to follow my sister and continue to walk towards school.
The school's doors are so close at hand, and I can't help but sigh at the familiar and distant corners of this place. The towering school building has lost its former charm, and she is too old to be seen. In my memory, in the early summer, the front of the building was full of flowers and green grass, but now on the bare mud floor stands six rectangular stone sculptures one meter away, which are the product of recent years.
Looking closer, each sculpture is duly engraved with four large characters in Chinese and English, although the font is the same, but the color is different.
Solidarity (red).
Fearless in the face of danger (yellow).
Diligence and frugality (green).
Steadfast (cyan).
Self-denial (blue).
Tongjin Bogu (purple).
I was looking at the stone sculpture when I was surrounded by a few second-rate high school students.
"Which one are you going to choose?" My baby. Otherwise, choose me! One of the boys, tilting his head, yelled at me in a daze.
"Choose a big brother! Choose Big Brother! Several other crooked melons and cracked dates also coaxed along.
They were getting closer and closer, and when the eldest sister who was walking in front saw that I was surrounded by a few poor students, she hurriedly turned around and ran over and pulled me out of the crowd.
"Watch out for these little rascals! It's a lot of chaos in school right now, especially the senior high school graduates, who are about to go their separate ways, and everyone is seizing the last moment to be together and having fun in time! ”
"Isn't it just that I graduated from high school and went to university?"
While thinking in my heart, I quickened my pace and followed my eldest sister into the building.
The school building was full of people, and the students who passed by were whispering loudly, which was very noisy. My sister habitually looked up at the clock embedded in the wall, and I followed my sister's gaze, but I froze there.
It's not so much a clock on the wall as a piece of paper. This clock is like a thin watercolor painting hanging on the wall, with a shallow outline of the landscape and a black block on it - at 08:03 on May 30, 3017, I stared blankly at this strange clock, staring intently at the time displayed on it, and I was so surprised that I couldn't even breathe.
"How is this possible?" I grew out in astonishment, "Impossible! No way! I subconsciously squeezed my thigh, and a piercing pain hit me.
"Is this real?!" I froze there, motionless.
The eldest sister who was walking in front stopped, and she looked at me in surprise.
"What's wrong with you? Why don't you leave? ”
"Date, this date ······"
"May 30th ······"
Year ······
"Oh, 3017, what's wrong with you?! Let's go, we're going to be late. ”
The eldest sister came over and pulled me up, and I staggered and followed the eldest sister briskly, but the chaotic thoughts struggled between reality and memory.
Approaching the classroom, a familiar figure was pacing thoughtfully back and forth outside the classroom door.
It's the eldest brother-in-law!
It's a young brother-in-law!
Although he is much thinner than his "now" eldest brother-in-law, I can still easily recognize him from his facial features, especially the auspicious tear mole under the corner of his left eye.
He saw us coming, and eagerly greeted us. The eldest sister left me and ran over in three steps and two steps. Excitement and excitement poured out of their hearts like a flood that burst their banks.
The eldest brother-in-law took out a small but delicate rose from behind him as if by magic and gave it to his sister.
My sister looked at this charming flower blooming, and she was overwhelmed but solemnly took it. After that, they said goodbye to me, stared at each other affectionately, and left my sight. Looking at their inseparable appearance, it seems as if they are going to be separated in the next second.
"It's rare to see this flower in a world like this."
It suddenly occurred to me that the reason why my eldest sister came to school in such a hurry was actually to meet my eldest brother-in-law!
"Hey, isn't it just a relationship, as for being in such a hurry?!" I thought to myself.
