Chapter 5: The Joy of Winning the List

The uneasiness brought by playing "Liang Zhu" was soon diluted and forgotten by the college entrance examination. I handed in my exam papers early and walked out of the exam room and walked around the campus lawn. It took a long time for me to see you walking out of the exam room in good spirits. Look at your look, you are sure to do well in the exam. When you saw me at a glance, you couldn't help but be a little worried, for fear that I would be dealing with you and the college entrance examination again.

You came up to me and asked, "Why did you come out so early?" I said, "The test paper is finished, and if you don't come out, you're still waiting for the bonus!" Of course, you were not satisfied with my answer, and added, "Can't you check it a few more times?" I said confidently, "It's a hundred, a thousand times, that's what it looks like." Whoever knows, naturally all answers. If you can't, you can't hold it back. However, this time, the exam question, for me, is Zhang Fei eating bean sprouts, a piece of cake. Hehe, you can get it 600 points if you don't talk about it! "You listened to me so bullish and so careless, and your nervousness eased slightly. I took the opportunity to slap in with you, "Xiaoya, I was too nervous during the exam, let's find a place to relax." How about I treat you to shaved ice? You were amused by my appearance, so you looked at me and said, "You're full of freedom, so let me treat you to ice cream!" "I'm embarrassed to hear what you say, but I don't have a few bills in my pocket, and I can't get up if I want to be a cow. You pull my sleeve: "Let's go, go to Kishilin!" ”

Located in Xiaobailou, Qishilin is the earliest western restaurant in Tianjin. Legend has it that at the end of the Qing Dynasty, there was a German chef named "Qishilin" who came to Tianjin Wei with the Eight-Nation Alliance, and was famous for making bread and sweets. He opened this Western restaurant, from exquisite tableware to a variety of Western dishes, from the elegantly furnished shop to the warm and thoughtful service, all of which spread the Western food culture.

We came to Cheeseline, but you didn't treat me to ice cream, but a serious Western-style meal. Even though I ate with relish, I didn't feel comfortable in my heart. Originally, it was shaved ice, but it was changed to ice cream, but now I have a Western feast. I'm really embarrassed to let you break the bank!

You must have seen from my look that I was embarrassed, so you comforted me with a smile and said, "I don't feel wronged by spending money on you." When one day you are prosperous, and I want to look up to your grace, will you wish I would be embarrassed too? ”

I said, "No! ”

"Why not?" you ask. ”

I said, "That's what you deserve." In the face of love, there is never a dividing line of interests. ”

You smiled, smiled warmly, and said, "Baozi, you answered very well!" You won't always be like this, and you're not the kind of man who eats soft rice. If I see you wrong, if you are a person who does not seek to improve, then it will break my heart! I couldn't help but be a little vigilant and said, "You can figure it out, fate is destined not to soar, and God can't help it." You glared at me and said, "You're angry with me!" My mom didn't like you in the first place, and you know that. I stubbornly let you take the college entrance examination, hoping that you can be admitted to the university and gag my mother's mouth. I don't want you to be middle-aged, so you can come to Fan Jinzhongju! ”

Your words touched my self-esteem, and I said lightly: "You don't know how many times you have said these nonsense words when you were reviewing your homework." Being a writer doesn't have to go to college, that's obvious. Take your favorite book "How Steel is Made", for example, Ostrovsky didn't go to college, but he still wrote such brilliant works. Although I can't compare with those great writers, I can't make a fuss like Fan Jinzhongju, right? ”

You said with some sadness: "My words may be a little sophisticated, and they hurt your self-esteem, right?" But let's face it! I don't care if you're a college student or not, but my mother takes her academic qualifications very seriously. I admit that there are many famous writers who have not entered a higher education institution and have still achieved brilliant results on the road of literature. However, as a reality-minded mother, she will not be fooled by these beautiful prophecies. If you want to marry me into your house, you have to please my mother. You must show her real skills to prove to her that you are the best candidate for the Ou family's fast son-in-law. Otherwise, the chasm will be difficult to bridge. ”

I lowered my head to avoid your gaze, and said weakly: "Your mother recognizes the diploma and sticks a famous school label, so she looks like a dog?" You can't help but laugh: "Look, I knew you would say that!" Brother Abalone, if one day, Miss Ou turns into a white swan and flies into the sky, soaring between the blue sky and white clouds. And you, on the other hand, are still lying at the bottom of the black rumbling well, panting for breath at the palm-sized sky. Do you think I'm flying back, or am I never going to come back? ”

I was angry and said, "Then you go away and fly high!" ”

You get angry: "That's what you said!" ”

I couldn't hold my breath a little anymore, and said casually: "Someone has already persuaded me, saying that you are the golden branches and jade leaves of the rich and noble, and I am the dog's tail grass in the slums, and I am not worthy of you!" Your eyes widen suddenly: "Who said that?" Says who? This damn stinky head! I burst out laughing: "Why do you scold while talking?" "You didn't laugh, maybe you think you can't laugh, and if you laugh I'll take your words seriously. You stiffen your face and say, "Bao Donkey, you don't have to be disgraced and disgraced!" Even if you're a dog's tail grass, I have to water and fertilize it, don't I? Anyway, it's like this, if you don't work hard, just rely on your own consciousness! I don't expect you to move me a mountain of gold and silver in the future, don't starve me, even if you offer me as a beauty bodhisattva. ”

Only then did I realize that I had made you very sad, and hurriedly expressed my determination and said, "Xiaoya, in fact, I really worked hard in this college entrance examination." I couldn't pass the exam this year, so I'll take it again next year. I still don't believe that I can't get into college and become a writer! You breathe a sigh of relief: "God, that's what I want from you!" The gentleman said that the horse is difficult to chase, and if he says it, it will count. Even if you really come old and old to make a fan, I will admit it! I swore and said: "Heaven and earth Mingjian, I, Bao Jianming, came to this world to follow the beauty of the Bodhisattva." Thou hast told me to go east, but I not to the west; You tell me to beat dogs, but I don't beat chickens. For you, I dare to go down the oil pot, dare to jump in the Haihe River, and never go to the base! You are so anxious that you cry out: "Stop! Where is this mountain alliance and sea oath, it is simply a bastard who grabs the dock! ”

Actually, that declaration of love was deliberately made by me to amuse you. If you really say that the mountain alliance and the sea oath, it is also "evil!" I want to know you and live a long life. The mountains have no tombs, the rivers are exhausted, the winter thunder shakes the summer rain and snow, the heaven and the earth are together, and they dare to be with the king! "That's determined enough, isn't it? Beauty Bodhisattva, my thoughts about you, my attachment to you, there is a poem as evidence, "The spring silkworm is dead to the end, and the wax torch turns into ashes and tears begin to dry." You say that I have a sweet mouth, and I make your heart crispy. To put it bluntly, it's really not sweet, it's that I care about you too much. You are my priceless treasure and will not exchange anything for anything.

The time spent waiting for a college acceptance letter was really dull. That hanging heart, seven up and eight down, always can't settle down. Or do you have an idea, go to the park.

In Balitai, Tianjin, there is a water park that wins by water, and the lake reflects the vermilion pavilion. The graceful weeping willows add to the charm of the park. There are three lakes and nine islands in the park, and the islands are connected by beautiful double-curved arch bridges, curved bridges, and peach willow embankments. Since there are few tourists, it seems empty and deserted.

On the sparkling water, a small pleasure boat floats. Sitting on the bow of the boat, you gently sang the Shanxi folk song "Do You Know It". I paddled the oars and listened obsessively. The beautiful and romantic song floats on the surface of the lake. With the melodious singing, the boat got into the hole of the beautiful arch bridge.

At this time, our eyes suddenly darkened, and a passion rushed in my heart, and I couldn't help but squeeze to your side and hugged you. Just then, another boat sailed into the bridge, and you hurriedly separated from me. At the time, I wished I had capsized the boat. But you laughed and grabbed the oars and rowed the boat out of the hole. In the sun, I could see two rosy flushes on your white cheeks, and it was beautiful. Your twinkling eyes, with shyness and joy, are very charming. At this point, I feel like the happiest person in the world.

We abandoned the ship and went ashore and climbed up to a high pavilion to look out into the distance. Looking at the vast lake, I am full of longing and confidence for the future. However, we spent an afternoon playing wildly, and no one thought about why there were so few visitors to the water park on Sundays. Watch the sun set, and the colorful sunset dyes the clear water of the lake. You and I held hands and walked happily on the avenue by the lake. Suddenly, two officers on duty wearing red armbands approached, and they stared at us with a strange look. We hurriedly parted our hands, walked past the guard on duty in a serious manner, and then ran to the entrance of the park.

When night falls, the street lamps of the boulevard are hidden among the lush foliage, and the dim light seems to be sifted through, casting dappled light and shadow on the ground. You and I walked along the boulevard, talking and laughing all the way. At this time, I saw three soldiers with loaded guns patrolling quietly along the sidewalks on both sides.

As the two of us walked, you reached out and tugged at the corner of my coat. I saw the entrance of the alley in Yijingli from a distance, and I consciously stopped my steps. I ask you, "You won't be told if you come home so late, will you?" You playfully say, "Let's see if you dare to go to the water park next time!" When I saw that you were about to leave with your leg raised, I took your hand and said, "Can you give you another fragrant incense?" You glared at me and said, "Crazy! Didn't you see the PLA uncle just passed? ”

I drooped my head like a deflated ball, and I felt like I was getting a little bit in the air. It's enough in a water park, how can it be endless? You take a few steps forward, probably thinking that I look a little pitiful, and then you come back and pat me on the head and say, "I'll give you comfort!" You stood on tiptoe and kissed me lightly on the cheek. I was so excited that I was about to hug you, but you slipped out and ran without looking back. I watched you run away, a little lost, a little melancholy, but more warm and sweet. I spread my hands, arched my waist, twisted my buttocks, and sang "Two Tigers" along my lips, singing and dancing forward.

I went back to my cabin and lay in bed as if I was still dreaming. OMG! Why didn't I think about it at the time, what if it annoyed you? Being pushed into the lake by you is still a trivial matter, and maybe you will never pay attention to me again and see me as a scoundrel. Thankfully! You didn't annoy me. I have always had the fragrance of you on my hands. Because I never use makeup, and I don't know what kind of scent it is. I was reluctant to wash the scent off until I lay under the covers and still sniffed affectionately.

I remember you telling me that as soon as you went home and lay down on the little bed, your mother chased you into the room and asked why you came back so late. You are a little unhappy and say, "Mom, don't you want to see your daughter happy?" Your mother frowned and said, "I wish you were happy every day, but you don't look at the current situation." Now that the whole country is fighting against repairs and defensive repairs, consolidating the dictatorship of the proletariat, how tight is the strings of the class struggle! You don't think so, "What does this have to do with me?" Your mother was a little anxious and said, "Why is it okay?" Your dad and I are 'washing our hands and bathing' every day, digging up the roots of the bourgeoisie. You are the daughter of a capitalist, and if you don't pay attention, you will get into trouble. Hiding at home is at least a way to avoid the limelight. Do you understand? Of course you don't understand, so you are very unconvinced and said: "Mom, I think you let the 'Four Qings' scared Qing, right?" I'm not a counter-revolutionary, so what do you want to do? Just because I'm the daughter of a capitalist? ”

Your mother sighed helplessly, and said casually, "The merchant girl doesn't know the hatred of the country, and she still sings the flowers in the backyard across the river." What that means, you didn't understand. You ask me again, and I don't understand. I only know that it is Du Mu's "Bo Qinhuai", and the whole poem is "The smoke cage is cold and the moon is long and sandy, and the night is close to the restaurant." The merchant girl doesn't know the hatred of the country, and she still sings "Backyard Flowers" across the river". Literally, that means that the country is about to perish, and the singer is still singing "Yushu Backyard Flower" by Chen Houzhu, the king of the dead country. Later, I pondered it again and again, and I found out the flavor. Your mother is nothing more than criticizing you, and you don't care at all about the current political situation. But she doesn't want to say it too clearly, for fear that you won't be able to bear too heavy a psychological burden.

But since then, we haven't been to the water park.

I don't have the same good living conditions as you, and I can't enjoy the material life to the fullest. Seeing my mother getting up before dawn to go to work hurts in my heart. For several months, in order to get into college, I quit my temporary job, which I had managed to get my hands on. Now that the college entrance examination is over, it's time for me to earn money again. So, I knocked on the door of Aunt Wang's house. As soon as I looked at Aunt Wang's appearance, I knew that she was a warm and kind person. He is not tall or short, with a kind face. She is middle-aged, and she is a little blessed. In Yijingli, she is an old resident of Miao Zhenggenhong, who has been the director of the neighborhood committee for many years, and everyone loves to ask her to help solve any difficulties.

Second Aunt Wang watched me grow up since she was a child, so she naturally didn't treat me as an outsider, and when she saw me, she said bluntly: "Silly boy, enter the house, you have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace!" I smiled and asked, "Second aunt, are there any indicators recently?" Second Aunt Wang glared at me and said, "You kid! I finally got you a municipal job, and I said I would throw it away. Come to me again now, the neighborhood committee is open for you alone? Now that you've been admitted to university, why are you looking for a temporary job? I said, "If you take the university entrance examination, how dare you say that you will be able to get into the university entrance examination?" Aunt Wang was also dry, she said: "There are so many young people in society nowadays, they are all in a hurry to find a job, and they can't take care of you all the time?" Wait! I took out two packs of big baby cigarettes from my coat pocket and threw them on the table: "Second aunt, this is my filial piety to you!" Second Aunt Wang deliberately kept a straight face and shouted in disgust: "Isn't this a sugar-coated cannonball at me?" Don't come to corrupt me, take it! Huang Shouxin, the husband of Aunt Wang, did not regard cigarettes as sugar-coated shells, he picked up a pack of big babies and took one out of his mouth and put it in his mouth. Aunt Wang didn't worry that her husband would be hit by a sugar-coated cannonball, so she struck a match and lit a cigarette for her husband. I took advantage of this opportunity and hurriedly turned around and ran.

You said that it was such a coincidence, as soon as I left Aunt Wang's house, I saw the postman Da Feng riding a bicycle into Yijingli, and pressed the bell of a broken car to the mountain. He came to the gate of my house, pinched the brake, supported the car with two long legs, and shouted at the door: "Bao Jianming take the poke!" ”

I hurriedly ran over and asked, "Brother Feng, where did you come from?" Da Feng said: "You kid is shaking when he sees it, Nankai University!" "Oh my god! Is pie really falling from the sky? Did it really hit me in the head? I was overjoyed and shouted at the postman, "Is it okay to press the handprint?" Da Feng glanced at me and said, "Look, you're happy, you can't find the north, right?" Press the mudra, okay! "I took the mail slip from Dafeng's hand and pressed my handprint tremblingly. Da Feng said jokingly: "Press the handprint, press the handprint, your hand is trembling!" I saw that Da Feng was about to leave, so I grabbed the bicycle and asked, "What about Ou Xiaoya?" Dafeng didn't understand, he was stunned, and pedaled his bicycle away. He rang the bell of a broken car so loudly that it was unpleasant.

I held the admission letter of Nankai University and couldn't help but look at your window, only to see you standing in front of the window and looking at me silently. I immediately held the letter of acceptance in my hand high and shook it vigorously at you. At this moment, I suddenly had a feeling that Fan Jin was in the middle of the move.

---- hit the list!

You couldn't help but laugh, waved at me, and flashed out the window. In a few moments, you ran out of the courtyard. You grabbed my acceptance letter and looked at it excitedly, with a smile on your face, like a blooming rose. You looked at me with a smile and said, "Baozi, you've finally been admitted!" Hurry up and take it home and call your parents to see, the second boy of the old Bao family is not a silver-like wax lance! "I understand your feelings very well, you are happy for me as well as for yourself. Now, you can proudly show up my letter to your parents and say, like a victorious general, "Look, we've won!"
