Lanzhou Nanshan, standing on the south bank of the Yellow River, is also known as Gaolan Mountain, with an altitude of more than 2,000 meters. It is the natural barrier and the first peak in the south of Lanzhou City, the scholar Kan Chuan of the Sixteen Kingdoms said in the "Thirteen Prefecture Chronicles": "The big river is at the north gate of Jincheng, flows eastward, there is Liang Spring to note it, and it is out of the south mountain of the county. ”

It was originally a barren mountain and bald ridge, but with urban greening and afforestation, it was eventually turned into an artificial mountain forest with lush green trees and thousands of purples and reds. The antique buildings such as the small archway, the Stacked Cui Garden, and the Wanghe Tower are lined up one after another, and it has become a good place for the people to visit the mountains and rivers in their leisure time.

At the foot of the mountain is Lanzhou's landmark building, Lanzhou Railway Station.

After a day and a night in the car, sitting on the hard seat and looking left and right, the scenery outside the window is the same empty Gobi, no different from the scene on the outskirts of Ganquan, and I have seen too much but some eye fatigue. The sadness of parting and the excitement of reporting are like two sides of a potsticker, turning over and over again, which can be regarded as an unbearable torment. In this way, Cheng Jianghe finally came to Lanzhou, where Northwest Normal University is located. Get off the train, looking at the bustling crowd in the station, he is going out for the first time, curiosity and freshness are inevitable, looking east and west, the neck is a little sour.

The biggest feature of the station in the provincial capital is probably that there are many people. Standing on tiptoe, the heads of the people moving in the dark were similar to the ants that moved before the rain. There's no need to ask for directions, the crowd will automatically push you out of the station. Cheng Jianghe was covered with fragments all over his body, and he carefully moved his steps, so as not to be smashed by the crowd.

As I was walking outside the station, I suddenly heard a man at the exit in front of me, waving his arms vigorously and shouting his name excitedly. Cheng Jianghe looked up, although he hadn't seen him for many years, he still recognized the person at a glance - He Yi'an!

"Brother Yi'an! Brother Yi'an! Cheng Jianghe excitedly wanted to wave his hand, but there were too many things in his hand, and he couldn't lift his arm at all.

Pushing and shoving, he was already sweating profusely, and then he approached the exit, and He Yi'an hugged Cheng Jianghe. At this moment, the two seemed to have crossed the vicissitudes of life, and they reunited like a world away. Since leaving the group, it has been seven or eight years in the blink of an eye, and the weak and immature younger brother who used to follow behind his ass has now become handsome and mature. On that gentle face, there were a pair of eyes as clear as a stream, shining with intelligence. Now Cheng Jianghe is already a standard college student, and he is even on a par with himself, which has to make He Yi'an sigh.

patted Cheng Jianghe's arm hard, He Yi'an looked at it happily: "Good guy, I haven't seen you for a few years, I almost can't recognize you, Jianghe, you have changed so much!" ”

"Brother Yi'an, you are still the same, I recognize you at a glance!" Cheng Jianghe said happily, looking at the idol who has been worshipping and respecting since he was a child, his appearance has not changed much, but the passing years have left a trace of vicissitudes on his face, which is even more stable and profound.

After a slight pause, Cheng Jianghe asked, "Hey, how did you know that I came to Lanzhou?" ”

"Hehe, keep it secret for the time being!" He Yi'an smiled brightly, took the luggage in Cheng Jianghe's hand, hugged his shoulders intimately, and said, "Let's go, brother will take you to dinner, it can be regarded as picking you up." ”

Cheng Jianghe responded with a smile: "Okay, thank you, Brother Yi'an!" ”

Out of the gate of Lanzhou Railway Station, Cheng Jianghe was instantly attracted by the bustling scene of the city. High-rise buildings rise from the ground, and various advertising slogans are colorful and eye-catching. The wide road is full of traffic, horns are blaring, and even the air is filled with a burst of noise peculiar to the city, which is a lively scene that cannot be seen in the remote Ganquan City.

Even in provincial capitals, the bustling people don't have much of a rush. There is a simple satisfaction on every ordinary face that comes to them, and it is a smile from the heart. In this era, people's hearts and feelings are not blocked by reinforced concrete, human personality is not coerced by the pressure of fast-paced life, it doesn't matter what life worries, work anxiety, children's schooling, and there are no complex interpersonal relationships and false pandering, and people get along with each other, full of purity and sunshine.

Simple comes from happiness, and happiness comes from simplicity, this is the current state of life.

Under the leadership of He Yi'an, within a few turns after leaving the station, the two came to a Muslim restaurant. Entering it, the nose comes to the unique and rich smell of beef and mutton, which is an authentic local specialty, and the dishes are mostly good at meat, the taste is heavy, but the portion is frightening, which is definitely the best place for diners who like meat and meat.

After ordering three or two dishes, the two sat down in a secluded corner by the window. He Yi'an opened two bottles of Cheng Jianghe's favorite Arctic Ocean soda, handed them to him, and then raised the bottle to celebrate: "Come, godfather won't let you drink, let's replace wine with water to celebrate your dream of university, and you have been admitted to Lanzhou, hehe!" After that, I won't be alone. ”

"Thank you, Brother Yi'an." Cheng Jianghe took a sip of joy, sweet and refreshing, and then leaned his head and said suspiciously: "Brother Yi'an, you haven't told me yet, how did you know that I came to Lanzhou, and my sister told you?" But it's not the right time! ”

He Yi'an smiled slightly, and explained: "Don't guess, who else can there be besides godfather?" ”

"Ah, it's Dad!" Cheng Jianghe let out an exclamation, he knew the situation at home, his mother had always been worried about his sister and He Yi'an's affairs, and Cheng Jia'an was working very hard in the middle. The mother once repeatedly emphasized that the father was not allowed to have correspondence with He Yi'an. Now it seems that the father, who has always been afraid of guilt, is doing this very secretly, which can be called risking "the disapproval of the world". But if you think about it, it is also a father's helpless heart to protect his calves.

After thinking about this layer clearly, Cheng Jianghe was a little embarrassed, frowned and said, "It turns out that you have always been in touch!" My mother didn't let me mention your name, and I didn't dare to say anything about my sister's letter, so I didn't know about you......"

Hearing this, He Yi'an was inevitably a little gloomy, after such a long time, he still couldn't wait for Li Xiulan's relent, this is like pi, there will never be a definite answer. Year after year, Bawang's neck turned into a giraffe, and his longing eyes became longing. But as time passed, luck turned into imitation, and imitation turned into panic. He Yi'an is not afraid of the obstruction of tens of millions of people, but he is afraid that he will surrender himself in this endless wait.

Cheng Jianghe also seemed to know that he had said the wrong thing, pursed his lips, and said guiltily: "I'm sorry, Brother Yi'an, you also know my mother's temper, who is in a hurry." Dad tried to persuade my mother to come several times, but my mother pushed me back, and I didn't have any sense to speak! ”

He Yi'an smiled sadly, his eyes looked through the window facing the street, and looked at the hurried crowd in the distance, as if he was saying something to himself: "I know that even if my godfather mediates on the side, it is very difficult to get my godmother to overcome the hurdle in my heart." Many times I thought that I would just rush to Ganquan to face my godmother, but I didn't dare to make it several times. To be honest, I really lack confidence in the face of my godmother. ”

Cheng Jianghe pursed his lips, sat a little closer, and asked, "Brother Yi'an, what happened to you and my sister?" ”

He Yi'an turned around, took a deep breath, and said abruptly: "Actually, I'm just waiting for my godmother!" Your sister, you know, without the consent of her godmother, she will definitely not do it herself! ”

Cheng Jianghe frowned, and said sadly: "Then are you going to spend it like this?" ”

"Of course not!" He Yi'an turned the soda bottle in front of him, and his eyes revealed a resolute look: "I will graduate from graduate school in half a year, and at that time, even if my godmother beats her with a stick or beats her with a flat pole, I will kneel down in front of her and ask for her forgiveness and permission." ”

Listening to He Yi'an's seemingly confident tone, Cheng Jianghe, who didn't know much about his mother's temperament, sighed in his heart, and said stubbornly: "Then I will write a letter to persuade my mother when I go back, after all, there is strength in numbers." ”

He Yi'an's eyes lit up, and no matter how big the role of Cheng Jianghe could be, someone would always stand on his side, and he might be more sure of the future, so he raised his bottle excitedly and said: "That's a good feeling, with you and my godfather by my side to help, my confidence will be a little stronger." Come on, do it! ”

Cheng Jianghe raised his head and took a sip, frowned, and said, "Brother Yi'an, so you can only stay in Lanzhou for half a year?" ”

"Hmm!" He Yi'an nodded slightly, and there was no need to deliberately hide it from Cheng Jianghe: "I thought about going to work in Longyou or Ganquan as soon as I graduated from graduate school, Jianghe, my brother can only accompany you for half a year." ”

"Hey!" Cheng Jianghe pretended to be lost, and joked: "When I arrived in Lanzhou, I still expect you, the landlord, to cover me, it seems that the expectations are too high." ”

"Huh!" He Yi'an smiled heartily, the sun was shining on his elegant handsome face, and there was a faint color of perseverance and perseverance, and he said to Cheng Jianghe proudly: "The children of our Cheng family have never relied on the sky, not on the ground, and on themselves in the middle, this is our tradition, this is our family style!" ”

Cheng Jianghe raised the soda bottle and agreed neatly: "Yes! Always rely on yourself, this is our tradition and family style, come, Brother Yi'an, I respect you......"
