Hearing Mr. Zhao Weiju's opening remarks, all the students felt very sad. Many of them had red circles under their eyes, their vision was blurred, and their throats seemed to be choked by something.
Years of getting along, bits and pieces of the past, so many beautiful memories, so many laughters, from childhood to adolescence, this school has left too much for all of you here, but from today on, everything that has happened in the past will be forgotten.
Will draw a full stop.
Seeing each other again in the future will not be as easy as before. It is unlikely that all of you here will get together in the future. It is very likely that this separation will last forever...
Parting is the most painful thing in the world.
Mr. Zhao Weiju continued: "In today's class, we will not talk about the things in the textbook, and we will not waste too much time. Haha, I am old and can't see goodbye. Every time I experience it, my heart becomes empty.
That feeling is very bad..."
"You are old after all. You talk a lot, so don't laugh at me."
"In today's class, what I want to learn with you is only two words, 'integrity'"
"In the future, when you leave the school, you will be real adults. You will no longer be as carefree as you were in the school in the past. You must have your own responsibilities. As children, you must shoulder your own responsibilities and do not let down the years of upbringing of your parents and family.
Thanks to my kindness, some people may become officials in the future. I hope that by then such people will do things worthy of their own conscience, and some may go into business. I hope such people will be more honest, and some may go into the world. I hope
Such people should not go astray. There may even be someone who will soon get married, become a husband, and become a father. I hope that such people will have their own responsibilities..."
"In this lesson, I give the word integrity to you, and also to myself. I hope that in your future life, you will act upright and sit upright. When time passes, you can hold your head high and your chest high as a human being, instead of being hunched over.
To avoid being poked in the spine by the world.”
"After many years of getting along with each other, you can be said to be grown up by me. I know each of you well. Each of you is like my child. The word integrity is given to you as my greatest expectation for your future life.
…”
After saying this, Mr. Zhao Weiju had tears in his eyes. He took a step back slightly, raised his hands in an equal gesture, and said: "At this time, I will no longer be your husband, and you will no longer be my students.
We are all just toddlers on the road of learning. Over the years, it is not so much me teaching you, but more that we are learning together. Now we are all equal, there is no difference between teachers and students, we are all
'Students', thank you for your company over the years. Integrity is the word. I will encourage you all at this time."
As he spoke, Mr. Zhao Weiju bent down and bowed with his hands and fists in his hands.
Yunjing and others' eyes were red, and they stood up and moved in unison. Among the peers who walked in the same way as Mr. Zhao Weiju, almost everyone choked and bent down and said: "I will encourage you together."
Maintaining this etiquette for a full minute, both parties raised their heads, feeling how melancholy their eyes were and how empty their hearts were. Only the parties involved could understand it.
"get out of class is over, gentlemen, see you later." Zhao Weiju put away his polite gestures and glanced at everyone present seriously.
On the side, Wang Bolin gave Yun Jing a gentle push, signaling him not to forget what everyone had agreed upon, to leave an unforgettable graduation memory, and to bring a successful conclusion to the many years of getting along with everyone.
Then when Mr. Zhao Weiju turned around to leave, Yunjing said: "Sir, please stay."
"Do you have anything else to do with Shouxin?" Zhao Weiju stopped and said with a smile. In the school, the teacher always calls students who have a Chinese character.
Yunjing took out a piece of paper with the signatures of seventeen students on it. He stepped forward and handed it to Zhao Weiju and said: "Sir, this is a request for leave from all of us. We are asking for leave to leave the school for a period of time... forever.
, Sir, please give me permission."
Yun Jing's voice was hoarse at the end of saying this.
When he finished speaking, all the students behind him raised their hands and saluted and asked, "I beg you, sir, for your permission."
Zhao Weiju's whole body trembled slightly, and he took the "leave request note" from Yun Jing's hand as if it was a stone. He read it word by word, opened his mouth several times, and then said with a trembling voice: "That's it."
After saying that, he smiled but shed tears and said: "With this leave application note in hand, you will still be my students. When you have time in the future, if you feel that you have finished your vacation, come back and take a look."
"Thank you sir," the two people all said with red eyes and smiles.
Since then, Yunjing and the others have graduated, officially ending their ten-year study career at this school in Niujiao Town.
Yunjing and the others had already arranged a banquet at Xiaolin House in the town, and then invited every gentleman who had taught them to come to the party.
During the party, everyone chatted, exchanged glasses, and talked about the joys and laughter over the years. Some people cried or burst into tears while talking.
"I'm so reluctant to let go. I don't want to grow up and be separated from everyone."
"After so many years, we will be separated after today. I don't know if I will be as happy as I was before in the future."
"It would be great if time could stay at yesterday forever. Although I know that is impossible, and although I know that 'tomorrow' is more important, that's what I think at this moment."
"Zhou Fei, you still owe me three cents. Remember, don't, don't pay me back. I want you to owe me a lifetime debt. I will come to you to ask for debt when I get old."
"Niu Heping, don't think that I don't know that you put the nails on my stool that time. I don't want you to apologize. Give me this drink. You can drink it even if you want to vomit. Yes, I am taking revenge."
"Wang Bolin, I will not return your book. I will treasure it and read it when I have nothing to do in the future, just like when I was still studying in school..."
"Sir, I want to make a report against Yunjing. Yes, it's him. He was the one who hid the ruler you had last year."
"Yes, yes, there is such a thing. He lost the bet with Zhou Jintai that time, so he had to follow Zhou Jintai's arrangement to steal your ruler."
"Haha, I also remember that time it seemed that Zhou Jintai and Yun Jing were competing to see who could pee farther. Yun Jing didn't dare to challenge and lost directly."
"No, Yunjing still has such embarrassing things?"
"There are still many things you don't know..."
Some people cried while talking, and some people got drunk while drinking.
They graduated, became adults, and could drink some wine. Laughter and tears accompanied Yunjing and the seventeen of them for the last neat reunion.
After the reunion, it was time to part ways, and some classmates who lived far away had to leave early to go home.
First they saw off their teachers one by one, and then their classmates one by one. Each time they saw off one, they felt a little sadder.
In the afternoon, everyone dispersed.
Youth... no regrets...
Finally, Yunjing and the four friends found a quiet teahouse to gather alone.
In the private room, the fragrance of tea overflowed, but the four of them were silent, and the smiles on their faces were gone. After all, they had just separated from other classmates who had been with them for many years, and their moods had not recovered so quickly.
Yun Jing broke the silence and finally asked the heavy question, "What are your plans next?"
They are only sixteen years old. It can be said that the rest of their lives have just begun. There is always an unavoidable topic about the future.
The fat man Zhou Jintai slumped on the chair and said dullly: "My father has made arrangements for me. I will go to the county to continue my studies. I have relied on many connections, but I actually don't want to go. The imperial examination is too difficult. I want to take the exam."
I don’t know how many years it will take for a scholar, but my father gave me this opportunity with a smile on his face. I really can’t say no.”
"Then I wish you a bright future. In fact, it's not bad for you. If you continue to study and have a goal, you won't waste your life in vain. And don't you like alchemy? Learning more knowledge will be of great help to your alchemy.
"Yes," Chen Yijian said with a smile.
Zhou Jintai didn't wait to move. He curled his lips and stopped talking about himself. Instead, he asked him, "Swordsman, what about you, what are your plans in the future?"
After thinking about it, Chen Yijian said: "I am actually not suitable for the imperial examination. You all know this. In the future, maybe I will find a sect to join and continue to practice martial arts hard, or I may join the army to hone my martial arts. But I
I haven’t thought about it yet.”
"Aren't you going to take the imperial examination route?" Wang Bolin asked in surprise.
Shaking his head, Chen Yijian said: "Forget it about the imperial examination. It's enough to have a child's merit. I'm not afraid to tell you that since I started practicing martial arts, I have a headache when I read the book. All I think about in my head is practicing martial arts all day long. How can I study with peace of mind?"
, so I might as well give up on the imperial examination and practice martial arts with peace of mind. If my martial arts skills are high in the future, my achievements will not be worse than those in the imperial examination."
Yun Dingding nodded and said: "Everyone has their own way to go. Stick to it and don't look back. As long as you work hard, you will always be rewarded. But if you take the path of martial arts, you must pay attention to safety."
"Haha, we are scholars after all. I just like the feeling of becoming powerful when practicing martial arts. Fighting and killing are not my hobby. Who knows where I can go in the future," Chen Yijian said with a smile.
Wang Bolin said depressedly: "The fat man wants to continue studying, and the swordsman wants to practice martial arts. I envy you so much."
"Why are you envious? After all, you have to find a goal in the future, otherwise you will be stuck in the town for the rest of your life. After reading a book, your horizons have broadened, and you can't calm down and be ordinary. Hey... By the way, Lin Zi, you
You haven't said what you plan to do yet," Chen Yijian shook his head and asked him.
Under the curious eyes of several people, Wang Bolin said even more depressedly: "I can't go anywhere. I have to take over the family business in the future. Moreover, my father and the others have already arranged a marriage for me. I will start a family in two years. The main thing is
I have a concubine, but my fiancée is pushing me hard, and I am afraid that the concubine will bear the child. In fact, this is not bad. Being ordinary is often a blessing. Alas, the imperial examination is too difficult, and I don’t have the conditions to study far away. I am not a martial artist either.
That piece of material really fulfills the saying that a man cannot become a man of war."
"Actually, it's not bad for you to be like this. It's safe and simple, and you don't have to worry about food and clothing. Many people can't even imagine such a day. By the way, Lin Zi, aren't you going to take over the family business, and Fatty is going to the county
If I continue to study here, I definitely don’t have much energy to sell his aphrodisiac, so why don’t you two form a partnership, you will run the business, and he will provide the supply, but I am just a suggestion, don’t take it seriously, lest you fall out for money in the future and blame me for giving it randomly.
You guys come up with ideas," Chen Yijian said.
His eyes lit up, and Wang Bolin said: "Don't tell me, this is a really good idea. The effect of Fatty's medicine is really as he said, so there should be no worries about sales. I just don't know if he is willing to let me pick up some soup to drink."
"What are you talking about, Lin Zi? Am I that kind of person? I'm tired of doing business and dealing with people. If you really have an idea, let's run it as a partnership. I'd be happy to be the shopkeeper." Zhou Jintai rolled his eyes.
Wang Bolin said happily: "Okay, let's find a time to discuss it carefully, and we'll talk about it later." At this point, he turned back to Yunjing and asked: "By the way, Ajing, what about you, what will you do in the future?"
Intend?"
Chen Yijian took over the conversation and said with a smile: "Ah Jing is at ease. Now that he has the reputation of being a scholar, there is no pressure to study, let alone martial arts. It is simply unfathomable. He is truly both civilized and martial, and he is so handsome. Compared with him.
Get up, I already want to die."
"Don't tell me, it's really shocking. If I hadn't gotten used to it over the years, I would be embarrassed to be with A Jingdai," Wang Bolin laughed.
Zhou Jintai laughed and said: "Who gave you the courage to compete with A Jing? I have calmed down a long time ago. The more powerful he is, the more bragging rights I will have in the future. After all, our brothers have slept in the same bed and wet one."
Damn it, that’s an unchanging fact.”
Faced with the joke from his partner, Yun Jing said with a smile: "I actually don't have any lofty ambitions. I like to be free and unrestrained. As for the future, as long as I don't have to worry about food and clothing, I will be satisfied. I don't want to live too tiredly."
"What you said means you didn't say anything. You really don't have any plans for the future?" Wang Bolin asked curiously.
After thinking about it, Yun Jing said: "I really don't have any plans, just let it be. You have known me for so many years. Regarding the imperial examination, I currently have no plans to continue to find a school to study. Maybe I will take the imperial examination in the future, but I
You can teach yourself and practice martial arts slowly, don’t rush it.”
After hearing these words, Zhou Jintai said: "Sometimes I really envy A Jing. He obviously doesn't pursue fame and wealth, but he can do better than others in all aspects, especially his indifferent mentality. It's really unlike him.
They are young people of our age, but this is the fact.”
"You know what the heck, only a capable person can pursue indifference like A Jing, because people can get whatever they want at their fingertips, so we can pull them down," Wang Bolin said with a face that had seen through the truth.
Chen Yijian said speechlessly: "Lin Zi, you are heartbroken."
"By the way, although I don't have a long-term plan, for now, I do have a plan. As you all know, I grew up in Niujiao Town and have only had a limited number of trips to distant places, so I want to go out next.
Studying for a period of time, seeing the beautiful mountains and rivers, walking around, it’s not a waste of time.” Yunjing still told a few friends about his short-term plan.
"Study trip? Where are you going?" Chen Yijian asked with envy and curiosity.
Yunjing said: "I'll probably go to the border."
