Chapter Seventy-Seven: Returning to His Alma Mater (1st Update)
Chen Chen got up on time at eight o'clock the next morning, and after eating, he did a while in the living room, and then drove directly to his alma mater, Modu University.
They went to their alma mater this morning, visited the class guide by the way, and visited the Magic City Museum in the afternoon, which they had agreed before, and met at the gate of their alma mater at nine o'clock in the morning.
Their annual class reunion is a total of two days, and the activities on the second day are different, and the reason why they went back to their alma mater this time is because their class guide is about to retire, so they took this opportunity to come back and have a look.
After graduating, everyone struggled for life and ideals, and they were busy every day, even if they were occasionally free, they were accompanying their families, and many of them were far away from the city.
Chen Chen and Jiang Ya have been back a few times, and the others are basically returning to their alma mater for the first time, and at most, they will call the teacher and say hello during the New Year's holidays.
After arriving at the school, he found that someone had arrived, Chen Chen parked the car and walked over.
A group of people chatted for a while, and when everyone had arrived, they walked into the school.
Compared with a few years ago, the school has not changed much, and the only change may be that the dormitory building where Chen Chen and the others lived before was pushed to be rebuilt, and now it is almost built, which also makes Chen Chen and them a little regretful.
Walking around the campus, the whole campus is full of vitality, passing by the younger students are smiling, under the green shade, beside the grass, some of the younger students are quietly reading, the atmosphere is very harmonious and quiet.
Looking at the bricks and tiles, grass and trees of his alma mater, Chen Chen was full of thoughts, thinking of his own appearance when he first came to the school, and thinking about his current appearance, his heart was also full of emotion.
A lot of past events came to mind at this moment, about you, about that year, about youth, too many pictures flashed in front of me, pure love, and the familiar streets, as if they were a long time ago, like falling flowers in spring, only memories in my heart.
In those teaching buildings, there are footprints that he walks every day, and in those classrooms, there are countless interesting stories about learning and life, which are a string of memories full of ups and downs.
There are the appearance of them arguing with each other in class, the figures running on the court, the appearance of trying to revise all night before the exam, and the appearance of them singing in the candlelight. Youth, how beautiful, how worth remembering!
The road of youth is full of hesitation, the blood of youth flows in our bodies, and the power of rebellion explodes in silence. We want to grow, we want to break free from all kinds of constraints, but we are still fledgling.
We want to be independent, we want to be recognized, but we don't have the ability to do so. We are full of passion and ideals, but we can't release them. We want to be recognized by others, we want to break free, we want to hover on the edge of our dreams and not fall, and we don't know where the road lies ahead.
And the alma mater, like a kind and strict mother, is always raising us to grow up and let us sway our youth wantonly.
This short journey made Chen Chen and his party experience a very different feeling, as if the impetuousness and hustle and bustle experienced in society a few years after graduation have been smoothed out.
The breeze blows, the scenery is still the same, but it is a pity that the people in the scene have changed batch after batch, and the precipitation of the years will always leave a little sour taste.
"I heard that our student president of that year, after graduation, entered a large company in the capital, but unfortunately he was fired for some reason, and finally had no choice but to return to his hometown and marry an ordinary girl."
"There is also Bai Fumei, who has been chasing Chen Chen in college, her family's company seems to have a problem, her father was imprisoned, and now she is working as a clerk in a small company, and her life is not very smooth."
The world is impermanent, and after graduation, reality has washed down too many people.
After a brief silence, the group continued on their way.
After about half past ten, everyone turned around and went to a classroom in a school building, which their class teacher knew they were coming here today and specially borrowed it.
Their class teacher's surname is Li, an amiable old man who has been engaged in education for many years, and is also well-known in finance, and they are very concerned about Chen Chen.
For students like Chen Chen who are not from a good family, their class teachers often recommend part-time jobs to them and give them all kinds of help, so Chen Chen and the people in his class also respect him very much.
After the classmates in their class greeted the class guide and gave some gifts to the class guide, the class guide also refused, but everyone was very enthusiastic, so he couldn't shirk it, so he could only accept it.
Then the class instructor gave some lectures on the podium, and then began to move freely.
Chen Chen walked up to the class guide and said with a smile:
"Teacher Li, you've been in good health lately!"
The class guide looked at Chen Chen, and was also very happy, and said:
"Haha, okay, I'm about to retire, and the academy hasn't arranged anything for me, so it's very easy every day, and I occasionally give classes to your younger students."
Later, the two also chatted about the current situation, and Chen Chen also took the opportunity to ask some questions about stock investment and finance, because he plans to enter the stock market at the end of this year.
The class guide is worthy of being an experienced man, and many insights have made Chen Chenmao suddenly open up and gain a lot.
Seeing that the other people were also going to come over to catch up with the class guide, Chen Chen said to the class guide and went to find Fang Jun and them.
As soon as they arrived over there, Fang Jun and Gao Qi hurriedly surrounded them. "Chen Chen, what's the situation, I heard that you pretended to be a big force yesterday, and Liang Kang was angry to death, when did you buy a car?"
In fact, when they first came, they wanted to ask, but they never found a suitable opportunity.
"What is there to say, none of you have a car?"
Several people laughed, and then said:
"It's different, we have a car, but we can't compare with yours."
Chen Chen also said roughly that he had made some money recently, so he bought it.
A few people didn't dig deeper, and friends also need privacy.
Later, some classmates came over to say hello, and they didn't seem deliberate, after all, they were all classmates, and Chen Chen didn't say anything, society, that's it.
Everyone communicated in the classroom until half past eleven, then left their alma mater, returned to yesterday's club, planned to have a meal, and then went to the museum in the afternoon, but the class guide did not go, after all, he was older.
After arriving at the club, it was still yesterday's banquet hall, the meal had been prepared, and after Chen Chen and the others were served, the dishes were served immediately.
The group of people who sat with Chen Chen was still the same group yesterday, everyone knew each other very well, and they didn't become embarrassed because Chen Chen suddenly had money.
This time, because I had to go to the museum in the afternoon, everyone didn't drink, and basically drank juice.
Compared with yesterday, Chen Chen's table has become a lot more lively today, and from time to time people come to clink glasses and come to sit down.
Although yesterday's incident made Liang Kang a little embarrassed, but today is quite normal, he is used to it, and there have been similar things like being slapped in the face during college, although there is no embarrassment yesterday.
After everyone finished eating, it was just a little more than a little bit, and after a little rest, we went straight to the museum.
Chen Chen drove the people from their dormitory, and the other people who had cars also brought some, and the rest took a taxi.
After arriving at the museum, everyone also visited some places of the museum under the guidance of the docent, of course, they did not finish the visit, after all, the museum is too big, and it is impossible to finish it in an afternoon.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the class reunion was over, Chen Chen drove Gao Qi, Fang Jun, and a classmate to the station, and then went home.
