3. A letter from home
"Meng Lin, Xiaoxue, listen to me......"
"When I was in junior high school, I read a story about a young man whose parents were geologists and who went out on research all year round and rarely came home. The young man was doing the most mechanical and monotonous work in a factory, and suddenly one day he found a strange stone, so he moved it back to his bedroom to admire it, made the stone into a bonsai, and even treated it like a friend. Later, in a letter to his parents, he mentioned the matter of the stone and hoped that his parents would understand his loneliness. Unexpectedly, a few days later, the reply came, and his parents used their professional geological knowledge to analyze the type and composition of the stone, and told him to work hard and not to lose his mind, and he didn't feel his mood at all. I distinctly remember that there was a sentence in the article: people often become professional symbols.
My mom is an inspector, and her job is to inspect and find faults, and draw conclusions that pass or fail. As a result, my study and my life have become testing materials, constantly being taken to various reagents to test the color, and constantly being taken to various instruments to find defects. No one asked me if I had made any friends, only my grades and rankings, and whenever I mentioned the name of any of my classmates, the immediate phrase that followed me was "How is he studying?" Sometimes I am particularly interested in talking about things in school, and all I get is cold responses and questions.
What's even more terrifying is that every word I say has to be repeatedly tested and assessed, and even if I catch a mistake in the use of words, I will be repeatedly questioned, just like a criminal being interrogated and investigated. The conversation that often comes up is something like, "You just said that you didn't communicate with the girl in the class, why do you talk to the girl now?" We even had a few fights for this reason, and my mother said "I don't care about you" several times, but it didn't take long for the "test" to start step by step. Every time we talk, I feel like I'm a substandard product, waiting to be found flawed or occasionally get away with it.
In this environment of constant suspicion, I learned to lie in elementary school, and as I grew older, I became more and more proficient in telling lies, and later I was able to think of every point that might be problematic and answer every detail fluently. That's what I really experienced.
I've never lied to you guys, though, because I want to start over from high school because you're the most important people to me!
Of course, I am already a liar who has lost my credibility and cannot expect to be forgiven again. ”
With that, Yu Feng walked over to his desk and took out another letter from the drawer.
Parents:
It has been a whole week since the enrollment, and the management of this Fuyang High School is very strict, not only does it not have a mobile phone signal, but it also does not have a telephone, so it will arrange for students to write a letter to their families every month.
Fuyang High School is an affiliated school of Fuyang College, and it is also a liberal arts school, and most of our courses are history, politics, geography, etc. In addition, sports are especially important subjects here, and we even have to learn martial arts. Although it is not a key school, the teachers are serious and responsible, and the students are also very hard-working, but the most important thing is that I feel and learn something more important and precious than grades.
On Wednesday, my roommate and I worked together to get justice for a classmate who had been bullied. I used to be a cowardly child, I was often bullied, I didn't even dare to talk to people about it, but now I can't do this kind of wretch, I want to be the one who can help others protect others from being bullied. I may have become a nosy person in your eyes, but I insist that it is the right thing to do.
In this high school, students are required to form their own groups, and I am in the same group as two girls, who are also my roommates. You must be shocked, aren't you? But it's allowed in school, and I'm very willing to study and live with them. A roommate named Nangong Menglin is a beautiful and lively girl, and she is very good to everyone. She was also the first person to talk to me in high school, the first person willing to be friends with me, and her presence began to change the silent and introverted me that I had before. Another roommate is called Shangguan Xue, she doesn't like to talk at first, but she is actually very enthusiastic and thinks about others in everything. She also had bad memories in junior high school, so I felt that I should let her have a new start and live a completely different high school life, so I chose to be the first person willing to make friends with her.
Actually, it was a bit inconvenient to live with boys and girls, but I think it allows me to get along with my friends, understand each other's ideas, and constantly change myself. Roommates are sometimes like a mirror that lets you know what kind of person you are and what you should do.
My parents must be worried about whether I will fall in love, and frankly, I like Menglin and Xiaoxue very much, and I don't care if I am in love or not.
When I was in junior high school, not only did I not work my studies, but I was actually dealing with everything I did, dealing with teachers' inspections, dealing with parents' inquiries, and after three full years, I found that I had no friends, no goals, and no grades. I decided to say goodbye to my old self from the first day of high school and pursue the life I really wanted, to like the people I liked, and to do what I love with my own efforts. Thank you for your understanding.
I wish my parents good health
Column against the wind
"You guy, why don't you show us this letter?" Meng Lin sniffled and wiped her tears.
"Because...... I didn't have the courage to send this letter, obviously thinking of completely changing myself, but when it came to the end, I had infinite fear, so I returned to my previous trajectory. ”
"Come here, you're windy. Xiaoxue was hoarse.
Yu Feng was ashamed at this time, Xiao Xue's words just now hit him like a hammer, and now he didn't dare to face Xiao Xue.
"You come here......" Xiaoxue's voice choked again.
When Yufeng appeared at the head of her bed, Xiaoxue suddenly got up and hugged him, burying her head deep in his chest.
"Uh......h Woo...... Don't lie to me in the future......"
"Xiaoxue, you can't sneak away, I want to hug it too!"
Meng Lin also squeezed in.
It's been a long time......
"No matter what happens in the future, we have to face it with honesty and bravery, okay?"
"Definitely!"
A letter from home has been handed over to the school, I believe it will be sent to the home soon, no matter what kind of uproar it sets off at home, it doesn't matter, if you want to do it, be your true self!
Yu Feng later thought that since they were two completely different worlds, he was not afraid that his mother would come to school to make a fuss and bring him home.
It feels warm and happy here.
"It's all because of you, our eyes are swollen from crying, how can we go out to meet people?" Meng Lin opened her eyelids.
"That...... I was wrong......"
"It's useless to just apologize, you ruined the first day of your precious first weekend in high school, you have to cook for us at night, tell us stories before going to bed, and go shopping with us tomorrow. ”
"Good ......"
