Chapter 712: Xiao Tao Meets Her First Love by Occasion
In the next two days, we mainly visited downtown Beijing, going to the Summer Palace, Beihai and other places. We originally wanted to climb the Great Wall, but we saw the crowded pictures in the news and gave up the idea.
This made Xiaotao a little regretful.
An Ran saw Xiao Tao's regret and said, "Sister Xiao Tao, when you get married, you will come to the capital for your honeymoon, specifically to climb the Great Wall."
Xiao Tao sighed: "I don't have a partner yet. I don't know what kind of partner I can find yet."
An Ran lay down and whispered a few words in Xiao Tao's ear. After speaking, she laughed so hard that her whole body trembled. Xiao Tao blushed and then hit An Ran: "Don't talk nonsense."
Qiao Liang looked at them with a cute expression: "What are you two whispering about?"
Xiaotao's face turned crimson and she lowered her head in silence. An Ran chuckled and said, "This is a woman's private talk. I won't tell you."
Qiao Liang laughed.
During these two days, Qiao Liang also accompanied An Zhe to visit several museums. During the visit to the museums, An Zhe was inspired and said something that impressed Qiao Liang deeply: "History is created by the people.
Yes, history is a mirror."
From what An Zhe said, Qiao Liang seemed to feel that An Zhe combined history and reality, and was quite touched by it.
An Zhe then asked Qiao Liang: "Do you like reading history?"
"I like it. I liked history when I was in school. After working, I often like to read some history books." Qiao Liang said.
An Zhe nodded: "Chinese history has been thousands of years old, and there have been countless historical figures who were either successful or failed, comedic or tragic. Their ups and downs and fates are enough for future generations to learn from."
Qiao Liang nodded: "Yes, although everyone says we should learn from history, many people today are still repeating the mistakes of their predecessors."
An Zhe chuckled: "This is in line with the old saying. It's easier said than done. If a person wants to truly purify his soul and purify his state of mind, he can truly achieve neither happiness nor sorrow for himself.
, it requires considerable practice and tempering, and is not something that can be accomplished in a day.”
"Secretary An should be able to do it, right?"
"What do you think?"
"I think you did a good job."
An Zhe snorted: "Don't flatter me, I'm far from good."
Qiao Liang scratched his head and smiled, feeling that An Zhe's words did not seem to be modesty, but a pragmatic reflection on his own cultivation.
These days, how many people can truly reflect deeply on their own hearts? It’s pretty good that An Zhe can do this.
On the morning of the third day, everyone did not go out to play and had a good rest in the hotel.
After lunch, An Zhe said to An Ran: "We will go back to Jiangzhou tomorrow. I will take you back to school in the afternoon. By the way, I will also visit the university you attended for 4 years."
"Okay, welcome Secretary An to visit my future alma mater." An Ran clapped her hands.
An Zhe snorted: "The principal of your school is higher than me. If you find the person in charge of any college, they are on the same level as me. I am not qualified to inspect."
Xiao Tao opened her eyes wide: "Oh, there are so many senior officials in the university."
Qiao Liang nodded: "Yes, Chinese universities all use the internal management model. However, although there are many high-level people in this university, their power is limited to the campus, and they can only manage these teachers and students."
An Ran pouted: "If you ask me, a university is a place for learning, so there shouldn't be any levels. Look at foreign universities, there are no levels. I see..."
An Zhe interrupted An Ran: "Don't look at it. The national conditions are different. There are so many complaints from children. Let's go to your school."
An Ran made a face and held An Zhe's arm: "Okay, no more complaining. I'll show you my campus and tell you about my four years of college life..."
Then everyone went to An Ran's school.
During the holidays, many students in the school went out to play, but there were also many students who were immersed in studying in the library study room.
An Ran took everyone around and introduced: "Most of these students are science students. Comparatively speaking, liberal arts students in universities have an easier time studying than science students... Hey, look, that building is our School of Economics and Management, and next to it is
The graduate department of another college..."
Everyone listened and watched, Xiao Tao kept tutting: "The university is really good, the people who study here are all the best among their peers..."
Xiaotao's voice was full of envy and a bit lonely.
Qiao Liang understood Xiaotao's feelings. She failed the college entrance examination because her family had financial difficulties, so she did not repeat her studies and had no chance to go to college. Naturally, she felt very complicated after seeing this.
Anzhe continued: "Xiaoran, where is your dormitory?"
"Over there." An Ran pointed to the side, "Come on, Dad, I'll take you to have a look. I just put my luggage in the dormitory."
"Okay, let's go take a look." Anzhe said enthusiastically.
An Zhe and An Ran went.
An Zhe was concerned about where his daughter lived in school, but Qiao Liang was not interested in following him, and continued walking casually with Xiao Tao.
Students walked by from time to time, many in pairs.
Xiao Tao asked Qiao Liang: "Brother Qiao, do you think these people who fall in love in college will eventually get together?"
Qiao Liang shook his head: "There are people we can be together with, but not many."
"Why?"
"Because love in student days is too simple and fragile after all. After entering society, many of them cannot stand the test in the face of complex realities and interests."
Xiaotao nodded silently, then sighed softly.
"Why, do you think of your high school classmate?" Qiao Liang asked.
Xiao Tao nodded: "I heard that he is studying in this school for graduate school. I think he will graduate soon. I wonder if he has a girlfriend now."
"You and him have broken up for many years, and he stopped talking to you after he went to college. Why do you want to do this?"
"I don't know either. I couldn't help but think of it just now."
"Don't think about it. Everyone has his own way and his own life. The most important thing is to live your own life well." Qiao Liang comforted.
Xiaotao nodded silently again.
After walking for a while, we saw a teaching building in front of us, with a sign hanging at the door: Graduate Department of the School of Humanities.
From time to time students come out of it.
Xiao Tao then looked at the door, her eyes suddenly stopped, and her body suddenly trembled.
Qiao Liang noticed it and looked at Xiao Tao: "What's wrong?"
Xiao Tao didn't say anything, and looked straight ahead.
Qiao Liang followed Xiao Tao's gaze and looked forward. A tall young man was walking out of the building arm-in-arm with a beautiful girl, chatting and laughing intimately while walking to the other side.
Xiaotao looked at them blankly, her body continuing to tremble.
Qiao Liang realized something immediately and whispered: "Is this guy your high school classmate?"
"Yeah." Xiao Tao nodded blankly, her eyes filled with mist.
Qiao Liang frowned and couldn't help but take a serious look at the young man. The young man was very handsome. He was lowering his head and making love to the girl and talking about something. He didn't notice Xiao Tao not far away at all.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Tao met his first love by such a coincidence.
Watching the young man and the girl leaving, Xiao Tao had a complex expression on her face, including sadness, sadness, inferiority, and loneliness...
