1991

Winter goes to spring, and everything recovers.

The warm spring light sprinkled again, soothing the sorrow of winter and warming the frozen loneliness. It's just that the old snow in many people's hearts is like the white head of Qilian, which is eternal. The full spring may only belong to the budding grass, the buds of the branches and the fluttering poplar catkins.

Whose spring is this? Whose winter day is it?

In Northwest Normal University, the external scenery has now entered the embrace of spring. The garden-like campus, the warm sun quietly draped the golden light on the quietly blooming apricot trees. Beautiful petals roll in the air and fall in front of the quaint school buildings, embellishing them with colorful and vibrant life. On the forest path covered with flower petals, the students who came and went were in high spirits, sprinkling the moving music composed by youth all the way, blending into the colors of this spring, reflecting each other.

The bulletin board at the entrance of the campus was crowded, and a large group of students were pushing and shoving, and the bulletin board was impressively written with this year's graduate school entrance examination information. Such blockbuster news is related to everyone's future and fate, and it may be a fork in life, no wonder the students are so passionate and impatient.

Zhou Zhiqiang and Liu Boyu also looked excitedly in the crowd, holding their necks high but couldn't read the words on it clearly, and wanted to lean forward when they were itchy and unbearable, but they were squeezed out by the bustling crowd, staggering back and almost falling on their backs.

Zhou Zhiqiang scratched his blue head and complained angrily: "Grandma is a bear, there are so many people, is this year's postgraduate entrance examination so hot?" ”

Liu Boyu helped the glasses that fell to his mouth, fiddled with the temples, secretly glad that there was nothing wrong, and then frowned and looked at the crowd in front of him, pouting: "Haven't you heard, the graduate school is expanding?" ”

"Mom, what else is so good?"

Zhou Zhiqiang glared at him with an incredible look in his eyes, and said in a matter-of-fact manner: "I can also try it if I say so?" ”

"Hehe, of course you can."

Liu Boyu glanced at the other party with shiny eyes, and teased with a bit of mockery: "You take advantage of the fact that there is still half a year, you can really hit a big luck if you come to the cone of the cantilever beam, smell the chickens and dance, and chisel the wall to steal the light." ”

Zhou Zhiqiang's face suddenly turned red, and he waved his hand curtly: "Go and go, what you mean is that I don't have a show, and I look down on me too much!" Hey, that's not a river! Rivers, rivers! ”

When the two were about to find a gap and plunge inside, when they turned around, Zhou Zhiqiang saw Cheng Jianghe passing by the tree-lined path next to him without squinting and carelessly, and the two hurriedly trotted over and stopped him.

"River, river!"

Cheng Jianghe turned his head, blinked his eyes, and asked, "Uh, it's you, what's wrong?" ”

Looking at Cheng Jianghe's calm and relaxed appearance, Zhou Zhiqiang was anxious for his unhurried temperament, and said hurriedly: "It's all fried over there, why are you still so calm, don't you care about such a blockbuster news for the graduate school entrance examination?" ”

Liu Boyu rolled his eyes and said mockingly: "Do you think that everyone is like you and the ants on the hot pot can't hold their breath, Jiang He's results, the graduate school entrance examination is not a matter of being able to get nine out of ten and get caught." ”

"That's right! He called it confident, and I was uncertain. ”

Zhou Zhiqiang was stunned, and after a little thought, he suddenly realized. Then he shook his head into a rattle, and said with mixed feelings: "Hey, people have to die more than people, and goods have to be thrown away." ”

Cheng Jianghe glared and looked at Zhou Zhiqiang suspiciously: "What are you doing here, who said that I was going to take the graduate school entrance examination." ”

"Ah, what did you say?"

Zhou Zhiqiang raised his head suddenly, and looked at Cheng Jianghe in a daze, as if his cochlea had malfunctioned.

Liu Boyu on the side was also surprised: "Uh, I heard you right, Jiang He, aren't you going to take the postgraduate entrance examination?" ”

Cheng Jianghe spread his hands, nodded affirmatively, and said unabashedly: "Yes, I have never had this thought." ”

Zhou Zhiqiang opened his eyes, came up and looked at Cheng Jianghe in surprise, and after making sure that the other party was not in a dream, he said in a tangled manner: "What a waste if you don't take the graduate school entrance examination with such good grades." ”

Cheng Jianghe pursed his lips and said very indifferently: "Everyone has their own ambitions, let's talk about it when we have a chance in the future." ”

"Then what do you think, just graduate, what are you going to do after graduation?" Liu Boyu asked.

Cheng Jianghe smiled brightly: "Of course, I chose the job I have been longing for for a long time." ”

"What?" The two looked at each other and asked in unison.

"Huh!"

Cheng Jianghe chuckled, his handsome cheeks were a little reminiscing, and he said leisurely: "A teacher once told me that my best career choice is to be an engineer of the human soul and a teacher!" ”

"What? Be a teacher. ”

The two roommates were dumbfounded, and they were stunned by Cheng Jianghe's 'grand goal'. Seeing that Cheng Jianghe didn't care about the postgraduate entrance examination, he turned around and drifted away, and for a while he couldn't believe that such an excellent student was willing to give up the bright future at his fingertips, but instead chose an education career that had worked hard but had little future, which was really a bit unbelievable.

"Alas, alas, don't go, Jianghe, you really plan to be a teacher, good girl, what do you think......"

What did Cheng Jianghe think? It's actually quite simple.

Since his mother fell ill, he has been self-reliant and self-reliant, and he has never asked his family for money. During the four years of college, even during the winter and summer vacations, he did not return to Ganquan several times, but while frugally, he frantically found a few tutors for work-study.

During this period, he refused the admiring eyes of unknown girls, and he did not set foot in any occasion of indulgence and indulgence, but focused on the subject, and was completely the most economical and dull king in the eyes of his classmates.

However, in this way, a large amount of money is left for the family on the basic tuition fee.

The family's predicament was in front of him, and he could not ignore it. At the beginning of college, he was suffering in pain, and he had the idea of dropping out of school to work, but he was stubbornly blocked by his stubborn sister.

My sister's idea is also very simple, she is the only college student in the family, which is definitely a signboard of the glorious lintel in ancient times. As my sister said, no matter how hard it is, it can't break the only hope under this sad fate.

With his sister's domineering, Cheng Jianghe could only give in, he was already a senior in college during the hard work, and he was one step away from helping the family get out of trouble, how could he choose to continue to take the postgraduate entrance examination at this moment, would it be possible to let his tired father and sister work hard for another three years?

The letter from his sister made him ready to continue his studies, but in Cheng Jianghe's opinion, he could no longer ignore the burden of his family. If you have the ability, you should repay the nurturing grace of your parents, which is the most basic moral bottom line that the children of the Cheng family have been raised. Even if he was reprimanded by his sister, he had to bravely disobey it.

The reason why I unswervingly chose the profession of teacher was also influenced by Xia Yueling, my life mentor back then. In the past four years, his correspondence with Xia Yueling has never been broken, and many times, it is Xia Yueling who silently guides and encourages herself, which also strengthens Cheng Jianghe's choice of future career, from slowly becoming interested in it to gradually transforming it into an ideal in life.

For this student who has high hopes, Xia Yueling is full of expectations. Education in China in the 90s was an education that carried forward the past and forged ahead in the process of modernization. Just catching up with the cultivation of qualified personnel, education is facing the severe challenges of modernization, with unlimited opportunities and broad prospects. It is precisely because of these that Xia Yueling spares no effort to guide Cheng Jianghe and constantly approach the field of education.

Back in the dormitory, Cheng Jianghe didn't take his roommate's doubts to heart, and his mind was full of Xia Yueling's earnest teaching to him back then. This made him strengthen his confidence and at the same time full of gratitude to his mentor.

Cheng Jianghe gently spread out the letter paper, and vented the passion surging in his heart on the tip of the pen, and the impatient emotions jumped on the paper.

"Dear Teacher Xia, hello. In the blink of an eye, it was the end of my college career. I am glad to have you as an inspiration to guide me to clarify my goals and aspirations in life. To this day, I am still the Cheng Jianghe who hopes to change his fate with knowledge, and I am still the eldest son in the family who wants to use his strength to break out a blue sea and blue sky for his family. I hope that in the future, I can be like what you hope to do, sowing the seeds of hope with the teachings of my teacher, so that more students like me can embark on the path of fighting against fate......"

I have to say that Cheng Jianghe not only inherited Xia Yueling's teachings, but was also deeply influenced by He Yi'an. Use your own strength to bless your family, such a mentality is completely the same as He Yi'an. It's just that I don't know if his fate will be like He Yi'an, full of twists and turns.

On the radio on campus, a high-pitched and touching tune came from the campus, which stirred in Cheng Jianghe's heart and made his hot heart set off a high fighting spirit.

"Welcome the glorious years, hold on to freedom in the wind and rain.

After a lifetime of hesitation and struggle, self-confidence can change the future.

Ask who can do it......"

At this moment, Cheng Jianghe's heart was surging, and he couldn't even help himself. Coincidentally, Cheng Jianghai, who is far away in Ganquan, is also in the same state of mind.
