Chapter 12: The Dream Lover
Zhao Mingding is not the willow under the Hui who is not in chaos, the so-called "Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island, fair lady, gentleman is good", but "Qingqing Zijin, leisurely my heart, but for the sake of the king, I have been chanting so far", looking at the reluctant Wei Jiumei frequently looking back, gradually drifting away, Zhao Mingding was stupid for a while, sat down cross-legged on the river embankment, across the river, is the cliff of Wen Tianxiang Zhangbang, under the cliff is the rapid whirlpool, under the vortex is the tomb of Wu Yun, the tomb met the master Taiyi Zhenren, Taiyi Zhenren teaches the exercises and gives magic weapons, and he has to make contributions himself...... Everything is like a mirage, and it is impossible to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
"Lao Zhao, why are you sitting alone in this cold wind?" Zhao Mingding was in his reverie, an abrupt voice sounded, waking up Zhao Mingding, and looking at it, it was a young man of the same age as himself who was riding a motorcycle from the ferry and stopped beside him, it was Wang Yougao, his tablemate in the third year of high school, "I haven't seen you for many years, everything is okay?" ”
When Zhao Mingding saw it, he immediately stood up, held Wang Yougao's outstretched hand, and said with a smile: "Haha, what a coincidence!" Seeing that you are full of spring breeze, you must be proud of life! Congratulations! ”
"I received a notice from the squad leader this morning, saying that it is rare for everyone to see each other in normal times, and now while everyone is back for the New Year, we will have a good gathering, and we will meet at six o'clock this evening in the Juxian Building Yipin Pavilion in Taihe County to reminisce about the old days. Men and women, for whatever reason and excuse, the last latecomer pays. Those who fail to do so will be expelled from the class. Wang Yougao smiled evilly, "Every time you don't participate in the party, is there something unspeakable?" The girl of your dreams will be at the party today, so don't miss out. Get in! With that, he started the car and patted the back seat, Zhao Mingding couldn't refuse, so he sat down.
A class reunion was held a few years ago. It was a gathering of the four classes of their whole grade this year, and all the students who could be notified had arrived.
Zhao Mingding's academic performance was average when he was studying, and he was silent in the class, so he was nameless and not very popular, and after graduation, he went to society, and was slowly forgotten by his classmates and lost contact, so he didn't receive the notice of the class reunion, and he didn't participate in the party, and he naturally failed to participate in the later party.
Eight years have passed, is she still in the city?
Saying hello to his grandparents, Zhao Mingding came to Taihe County in Wang Yougao's car, because it was still early, and Wang Yougao had other things to do, the two agreed to meet in the evening, and they broke up.
At 5:50 in the evening, Zhao Mingding came to the door of the Yipin Pavilion private room in Juxian Building alone, and was about to open the door, but he didn't expect the door to suddenly open automatically without warning, and a group of familiar strangers suddenly appeared in front of him, which surprised him a little, and he was stunned for a while.
"Hello students, I'm Zhao Mingding!" Zhao Mingding came back to his senses slightly, hurriedly greeted his classmates, and walked into the room with his feet raised.
"Oh, Shang Zhao Mingding, I thought it was the class leader who arrived!" The female classmate who was standing at the door, apparently doing the reception, replied, seemingly a little disappointed.
Zhao Mingding seemed to pour a basin of cold water on his face, and the original passion that was like fire dropped to the freezing point.
"The person who should have come hasn't come yet?" Zhao Mingding responded with a smile, nodded to everyone as if he had said hello, walked to a table in the corner and sat down silently against the wall.
The students came in one after another, laughing and greeting each other, and soon the chairs at the four tables were full. Just as the bell in Yipinge struck six o'clock, the door opened, and the head of the class appeared at the door with a smile, shaking his hands in high spirits and saying loudly, "Hello students! ”
"Hello squad leader!" Everyone roared.
"Students have worked hard!"
"Serve the squad leader!"
After the roar, everyone couldn't help but laugh.
The laughter stopped slightly, and the class leader began to speak: "Students, I am very grateful to everyone for giving me face and attending this party on time!" In fact, I invite you here today for only one purpose: that is, to ask those male students who are not civil servants to report their assets, and I will make a record to facilitate the fight against local tyrants in the future! ”
As soon as the squad leader's words came out, everyone was silent for a while, and only after a while did they whisper, all guessing the meaning of the squad leader's move.
Speaking of class presidents, it is not only the honor of the whole class, but also the glory of the whole school. Because he is the first fresh graduate to be admitted to Tsinghua University after the school moved to the new campus in Dongyue Mansion, and now he is the secretary of the county party committee of a county.
"Okay, I agree to the squad leader's request!" Li Ruxin was the first to raise his hand in agreement and reported his net worth.
Finally, after ranking, the top three in the class wealth list were produced:
First place: Liu Zihou, assets of 300 million; Vehicle: Land Rover Range Rover.
second place: Wang Guoqiang, assets of 200 million; Vehicle: Audi A8.
Third place: Zhang Shubao, assets of 150 million, car: BMW 760Li.
With the emergence of the wealth list, everyone's seat has also undergone subtle changes. Originally, everyone was scattered around the table, but after the squad leader came in, everyone stood up, and later, with the generation of the wealth list, the top ten all sat on the table on the right side of the front, the eleventh to the sixteenth plus four civil servants sat on the table on the right side of the front, the twenty after sat on the table on the left side of the back, and the female students only reached nine, all of whom sat on the table on the left side of the back. The squad leader sat at the table on the right side of the front, facing everyone.
In the past, the seats in the class were arranged according to the level of scores, with those with high scores sitting in the front and those with low scores sitting in the back, and I never imagined that after eight years, they would be re-ranked in another way, and Zhao Mingding was ranked last, because all his net worth was only the 1,000 yuan in his pocket.
After settling down, the waiter began to serve the food, everyone pushed the cup to change the lamp, and raised the chopsticks to eat. Zhao Mingding was not treated well in the class before, and he couldn't turn over this ranking, and he hadn't been in contact with his classmates for many years, so he was estranged from everyone, and basically no one cared about him, so he buried his head in eating, and the sound of wanting to chew was too loud, which attracted the contempt of several classmates at the same table. Zhao Mingding pretended not to see it, chattered louder, and made up his mind to pay attention: never participate in such a class reunion in the future, so as not to be hit again.
After five flavors of food and three rounds of wine, just when everyone was in the mood, there was a sudden knock on the door. Everyone immediately calmed down and raised their heads, wanting to see who the person who dared to knock on the private room of the county party secretary was sacred.
The female classmate in charge of the reception opened the door, only to see a middle-aged man with unkempt hair and a scruffy beard standing at the door, wearing a crumpled gray jacket, a pair of black jeans, and a pair of white sneakers on his feet: the whole person looked like a migrant worker who had just gotten off work from a construction site and had not had time to wash.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry, I'm late!" The migrant worker said, "Excuse me, is Zhao Mingding here?" ”
"Are you ......?" The squad leader asked a little confused.
"Squad leader, I'm Zhang Bao!" Zhang Bao replied, "I'm the Zhang Bao who dropped out of school in the second semester of my sophomore year!"
"Zhang Bao? Are you really Zhang Bao? When Zhao Mingding heard this, he couldn't help but scream, walked forward quickly, and held his hand, "I'm Zhao Mingding!" ”
"Zhao Mingding, I found you!" Zhang Bao held Zhao Mingding's hand tightly, looked up and down, Zhao Mingding also looked him up and down, and couldn't help laughing at the same time: The clothes of the two are surprisingly similar!
"Everyone welcomes Zhang Bao back to the team!" The squad leader said, took the lead in applauding, and everyone applauded, so that Zhao Mingding realized that he was out of shape, and hurriedly pulled Zhang Bao to his seat, and the classmate next to him immediately brought a chair and added a seat for Zhang Bao.
"Ladies and gentlemen," Zhang Bao poured himself a full glass of wine, "I Zhang Bao left early when I was studying, and I was late for today's party, so I punished myself with three glasses and made amends to my classmates!" In addition, according to the order of the squad leader, I will pay for it today. "Anyway, drink it all.
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Mingding was secretly surprised: Looking at Zhang Bao's appearance, I am afraid that the situation will not be much better, and if I want to buy tonight's order, I am afraid that it will be a little difficult. In case you really don't have enough money and can't help yourself, then it's troublesome.
After three cups, Zhang Bao looked around, and asked with his face towards the female classmate's table: "Zhao Mingding, is your dream lover Li Ruyu here?" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed "coaxing", Zhao Mingding only felt that his blood was surging, and his face became hot.
Something unexpected happened, and everyone recited it loudly like an endorsement:
I love you, the goddess of my heart
I love your dignified, beautiful face
I love the way you look
I love your purity and kindness even more
The blood of youth flows in the bottom of my heart
My love for you has been dry and rotten for a long time
After backing, everyone laughed "haha", some clapped their hands, some stomped their feet, some slapped the table, some knocked on the bowl, and a few female classmates even laughed so much that tears came out, bending over and covering their stomachs and shouting "ouch".
The uproar in Yipinge was like the classroom of the year.
"Yo, I can't imagine that after many years of graduation, there are still people who are worried about me!" Li Ruyu stood up from her seat generously, wearing a dark green cheongsam, and her demeanor was myriad. Not only did she not look old because of the passage of time, but she was more beautiful and moving than back then, retreating from her youth, and appeared very mature, just like a blooming green herding pill, verdant and intoxicating.
Li Ruyu is the female classmate that Zhao Mingding has been secretly in love with in high school, and she is also the dream lover of Zhao Mingding mentioned by Zhang Bao. She is tall and sweet-looking, not only the class flower in the class, but also the school flower of the whole school, and the object of admiration of the boys in the school, the number of people chasing her can be imagined, a lonely and unknown person like Zhao Mingding, can be in the same class with her, it is already a blessing from the previous life, how dare you expect to get her favor?
