At the end of summer, the weather does not get as cool as expected, on the contrary, there are occasional scorching heat. It was such an ordinary end of summer, but Chu Han began his college life.

On the road, the bus was still rushing forward with its best strength, and the trees on both sides kept flashing towards the back of the car. Chu Han gently lifted his head from the backrest and looked into the car, the uncle next to him was still asleep and snoring from time to time, and the other passengers were also doing their own things. The scenery outside the window disappeared as the car moved forward. Looking out of the window for a while, Chu Han felt a little dizzy and took his eyes back from the window. He glanced at his uncle who was sending him to school next to him, and thought that although the road was not as crowded as the train, the several hours of driving was really torturous, and his heart was full of gratitude.

Chu Han leaned his head back on the seat behind him, slowly closed his eyes, and a lot of questions flashed in his mind: Is his father so busy with business that he doesn't even have time to send him to school? What kind of city is Cangshi, where is the city where he is about to go to school? Where did all those high school classmates go? Suddenly, Chu Han opened his eyes, and his brain stayed in the memories of Xia Lan. For this girl who secretly liked each other from junior high school to high school, she disappeared without a trace because of her words when she graduated from high school. Where did she go to school? Will we really not have a chance to meet again in the future? Xia Lan, do you really refuse to forgive me? Chu Han's heart began to hurt, and the more he thought about it, the more his heart hurt, until he had difficulty breathing. Chu Han bit his lip and swung his fist and slammed it hard towards his chest, with the pain in his ribs, his brain gradually stopped missing, and Chu Han slowly regained his composure. This kind of painkiller method has actually been used to Chu Han for a long time, and since Xia Lan left, he has used this method every time to stop thinking about it.

Chu Han, who calmed down, slowly closed his eyes again, this time he didn't think about anything, because he didn't dare to think about it anymore, sleeping quietly like this might be the only thing he could do now.

I don't know how long I slept, but a car horn woke Chu Han up from his sleep. He opened his eyes and looked out the window, and the buildings made of steel and iron stretched out unevenly into the distance, obviously the city had arrived.

The conductor who accompanied the bus stood up from the seat in front of him, picked up the horn from his seat and shouted: "Cangshi has arrived, everyone pack their luggage and prepare to get off." ”

Looking at the city outside the car window, Chu Han didn't have the excitement in his heart when he imagined the city before, but added a touch of strange desolation.

Chu Han stood up and cleaned up the one shoulder back that Xia Lan gave him when he was in high school, although this one shoulder back would also make his heart ache, but he was still reluctant to throw it away. Uncle also woke up at this time, he saw Chu Han packing his backpack, so he stood up and said to Chu Han: "Chu Han, I'll get out of the car first, our two trolley boxes are still in the trunk, I'll take them out, you can come down and find me when you're done." ”

"Okay. Chu Han replied while cleaning up.

The uncle picked up the shirt on the seat and slowly moved to the back of the crowd towards the front of the car. Chu Han checked his shoulder, and the admission notice and tuition fees were all in it. Pulling one shoulder on his back and getting up, Chu Han also walked towards the front of the car.

After getting out of the car, he saw his uncle waiting for him over there with two trolley cases, Chu Han walked over and took a slightly smaller trolley case from his uncle. In fact, there is nothing special in these two trolley cases, one is a quilt and the other is clothes.

"Uncle, let's go to the station gate to take a taxi. ”

"Do you know the way to school?" asked the uncle, putting on his shirt.

"I don't know. ”

"Didn't your school send out a map?"

"Nope. Saying that, Chu Han pulled up the trolley box and walked towards the exit of the station, followed by his uncle.

When they came to the door, many cars were parked on the side of the road, and when they saw another group of people coming out of the station, the drivers quickly found their respective targets. Suddenly, a person rushed in front of Chu Han, holding a cigarette that had just burned in his hand.

"Take a taxi?" he didn't have a strong accent.

"Do you know the Water Conservancy Academy?" Chu Han asked after he stopped.

"Of course I know, but today I went to the Institute of Water Conservancy for all 25 yuan, and I don't play the meter. With that, he took a puff of his cigarette, which was then melted into the air by the smoke he exhaled.

"Why don't you make a watch?" Chu Han was a little puzzled.

"Today and tomorrow will be dedicated to picking up students without playing the meter. ”

"Isn't that what you say is how much you say?" asked the uncle, a little angrily.

"You go and ask other cars like this today, and besides, we won't make random prices if we don't play the meter, or who will take a taxi, right? Hehe, we're also making a hard job." The driver saw that his uncle was a little angry, so he said with a hippie smile.

"Alright, let's go. Uncle said impatiently.

"Okay, follow me. The driver took a puff of cigarette, and then flicked the remaining cigarette in his hand to the ground with his middle finger, and the cigarette butt flew out in all directions the moment it made contact with the ground.

and uncle put the trolley box into the trunk, the uncle sat in the co-pilot, and Chu Han sat in the back. The taxi began to shuttle through this strange city, Chu Han looked at the city through the car window, and suddenly his hometown, mother, high school teachers and classmates flashed through his mind over and over again, Chu Han's heart felt a heartache that was different from missing Xia Lan, and this heartache also caused tears to turn in circles in his eyes, and he tried his best to control himself and not let the tears fall.

"Chu Han, are you homesick?" the uncle suddenly spoke.

"No, no. Chu Han replied with his head lowered while pinching his leg with his right hand, letting the pain overcome his tears.

"How can I miss home, several children I picked up today who went to school hugged their parents and cried. The driver continued while driving: "Today's children are pampered and have no interest at all. When we were young, we started working as teenagers, and we didn't eat well or dress well, but at that time, our spirit was like a tiger, we didn't suffer any hardships, we didn't suffer any sins, and today's children don't know how happy they are. ”

"That's how we were back then. Uncle accosted on the side.

Although Chu Han was very reluctant to listen to such a conversation between his uncle and the driver, he didn't say anything, because at least now his uncle wouldn't chat with him anymore, otherwise he would really cry.

The car continued to drive ahead, only the red light would stop him, maybe the red light was the goddess of the car, and they were willing to stay for their goddess in the busy world even for a second.

Chu Han's mood slowly calmed down with the chat between his uncle and the driver, and a long river passed through the city outside the window, and the whole city was divided into two halves by him, but the bridges connected the city again.

The car finally stopped speeding because it had reached its destination. Chu Han paid the money to the driver and persuaded: "Master driver, in fact, you should play the meter the most when you pick up and drop off students today, because the extra few yuan you want is something that many rural people are reluctant to spend." ”

"No, parents come to send their children today, and these few dollars will not be more serious for the children. The driver took the money and said with a smile.

"You should ask for money like this, you shouldn't deal with students like this. After speaking, Chu Han looked a little angry.

"We've only had two good days this year! After the driver finished speaking, he drove to the station to pick up passengers.

Seeing the taxi go away from him, Chu Han was a little helpless, but he thought again, isn't it because we give these taxis that they ask for money like this? If we don't give it, do they dare to ask for money like this? Thinking of this, Chu Han bit his lip, pulled up the trolley box and walked towards the school with his uncle.
