Chapter 22: A Letter to Kong Xiaorong
Except for these little tidbits, it is the simple and boring days that are repeated in repetition, there is no motivation to learn, and it becomes extremely difficult to endure in class, the teacher speaks more and more like a book from heaven, and the eyes under the podium are empty, looking forward to getting out of class, looking forward to getting out of school, and even beginning to look forward to graduating early.
I'm bored for a lot of time, and I miss my former classmates unconsciously.
Liu Nian hadn't seen Kong Xiaorong since graduating from junior high school, and the two lost contact for a long time, and the two were admitted to different schools and went to different cities.
Later, Liu Nian learned Kong Xiaorong's specific address from Shi Guoqiang. Shi Guoqiang and the others are still repeating a grade in Pingling Middle School, and this old oilman has become a transit point for information for a while.
During the evening self-study, when he was idle, Liu Nian took out a paper and pen from the desk, it was time to write a letter to Kong Xiaorong.
After writing down a few words Kong Xiaorong, Liu Nian's thoughts drifted far away, and the little girl who refused to lend herself a novel to read and made excuses indiscriminately came to mind, the clever and eccentric little girl who was wearing fat clothes and looked thin and small, but kicked the door open with a face full of anger, shocking the female man who was domineering and exposed.
Yes, Kong Xiaorong hasn't seen her for a long time, and she misses it a little. How are you now? Have you adapted to a new environment? Do you feel homesick as often as I do? Do you often miss those old classmates......
At this moment, Liu Nian was a little sad, it seemed that he had not yet come out of the boy who was worried about it, he missed his classmates in junior high school, and sighed that the beauty of the past had passed helplessly. On the surface, this big boy who laughs and laughs all day long, fights and makes trouble, still has a melancholy heart. And these deep melancholy seems to be only suitable for writing to a girl who is not often seen in a distant place.
After the letter was written, Liu Niandian worked neatly, put it in the envelope, affixed a stamp, and then carefully filled in Kong Xiaorong's address, and threw it into the mailbox at the school gate early the next morning.
The days of waiting for the letter are always a little long, a little anxious, a little helpless. Every time a student walks into the classroom with a stack of letters during the recess, Liu Nian has some expectations.
"So-and-so, your letter!" "So-and-so, your letter!" The classmates who got the letter obviously had happy expressions, but from the first letter to the last one, Liu Nian's name was not called.
Liu Nian was a little disappointed in his heart, and even a little angry: Really, this Kong Xiaorong has not replied to the letter after receiving it for so long!
One week, two weeks,......
Just when Liu Nian had almost forgotten, Kong Xiaorong's letter was received. Liu Nian was a little excited, and couldn't wait to tear open the envelope, take out the letter, and then spread the letter on the open textbook, looking beautiful in his heart......
This is a wonderful moment that belongs only to himself, Liu Nian doesn't want to be disturbed, and the open textbook can be closed at any time, and the letter folder is tightly guarded against those naughty and curious classmates peeking at or snatching it away.
In fact, Kong Xiaorong received the letter and then replied, but it took a week or two for Liu Nian's letter to go to Kong Xiaorong, and it took another week or two for Kong Xiaorong's letter to go to Liu Nian. Neither of them wasted time on the road.
Yes, Mr. Mu Xin wrote like this: In the past, it was slow, and the mail was very slow.....
So we complained, but we also enjoyed this unhurried warmth.
Kong Xiaorong always has something that Liu Nian didn't expect, she actually corrected the two typos in Liu Nian's letter first, saying that when she was in elementary school, she always corrected the teacher's homework and couldn't see the typos. Reading this, Liu Nian couldn't help but laugh dumbly! This is going to be an occupational disease, Kong Xiaorong's admission to the normal school can be regarded as a wish come true, unlike him who came to this school in a daze.
But apparently Kong Xiaorong now has new ideas, she asked Liu Nian if she regretted not going to high school? Anyway, she regrets and regrets very much now, especially when she encounters the envy of those old classmates who go to high school.
Ay! This is not only Kong Xiaorong's regret, but many children who are admitted to secondary schools will have this regret. There must be gains and losses, and bear's paw fish can be both. A specific historical era, a specific product.
In the eyes of parents in rural areas, being able to be admitted to a secondary school and eating public meals is very promising.
Fortunately, Liu Nian didn't have this regret, this was his choice.
At the end of the letter, Kong Xiaorong told Liu Nian to buy the new stamps, the whole surface is coated with glue to dry and then used on the envelope, so that the stamps seem to be coated with a layer of plastic film, and the postmark on the letter after receiving it can be wiped off slowly, and a stamp can be used repeatedly.
This is really a money-saving way, Kong Xiaorong is a clever ghost, and I don't know where I learned it! Liu Nian casually took out Kong Xiaorong's envelope, and it was true that the two-cent "Shanghai Residence" stamp was coated with glue by Kong Xiaorong, and the shiny reflection was reflected. Liu Nianzheng wanted to tear off the stamp, but after thinking about it, let's not destroy this envelope, what is completely kept is also a beautiful souvenir.
After reading the letter, Liu Nian folded it according to the original crease and put it into the envelope and put it in the hole in the table.
Oh, by the way, Kong Xiaorong asked for a photo of herself, this is an important matter, so she quickly took a picture and mailed it to her.
On Sunday, Liu Nian shouted that Wang Zhongxing went to Jiyang City People's Park to play, and quickly took two photos. The photo couldn't be washed out for a while, so Liu Nian had to wait for another week.
Get the photo back, Liu Nian looks at this one and compares that one, which one is it for Kong Xiaorong? Well—this one sitting on a stone seems to be a little more handsome, and the expression is a little more natural. Well! Just mail this one to Kong Xiaorong. Hehe, I have to ask Kong Xiaorong for her photo, there are returns and gifts.
Liu Nian hurriedly wrote a letter and put the photo in an envelope. Many days later, I finally received a reply from Kong Xiaorong. Kong Xiaorong praised Liu Nian and said that Liu Nian's face was white and he became handsome, but he didn't mention her photo.
Kong Xiaorong is indeed a weird little girl, she replied that every time she sent a letter, she was full of anticipation for a reply, and then kept disappointed. Instead of constant disappointment, it is better not to write.
This idea is really strange, Liu Nian couldn't understand this truth all of a sudden, but the letters between the two of them were much slower all of a sudden. Sometimes I don't deliberately reply to each other's letters when I receive them, I leave them for a month or two, and I only write one when I'm in the mood. Liu Nian felt that he had regarded Kong Xiaorong as a friend, the kind of friend who could say what was in his heart than ordinary friends.
As for what Kong Xiaorong thought, Liu Nian didn't think about it carefully, and he should feel the same way as him. Kong Xiaorong is the first female friend in Liu Nian's life to write a letter, and Liu Nian has a good impression of Kong Xiaorong but seems to have stayed on it.
It's a friend, it's definitely a friend, he especially admires Kong Xiaorong, a girl with independent characteristics and a whimsical mind, maybe he likes it a little more than appreciation, but it is estimated that it is limited to that.
Treat Kong Xiaorong as a girlfriend? Liu Nian shook his head, it seemed that Liu Nian didn't have a deeper idea about Kong Xiaorong, and Liu Nian still had a vague person hidden in his heart. This simple-minded, late-blooming big boy knows how to play all day long, and his mind is not so delicate, and he seems to think about the problem too simply.
