Chapter two hundred and twenty-four the eve of school
"Guo Guo, I think the meaning of life is the unknown."
Chujiu was lying on the hard bed in the dormitory, shaking the twenty yuan he had extorted from Liu Yang in his hand.
"What's unknown? Is it because you didn't express yourself clearly, or because I have poor understanding?"
I was lying on the lower bunk of Chujiu, watching Chujiu return to the dormitory and fussing until now.
That’s right! We didn’t go to an Internet cafe to play games all night long.
After being bribed by Liu Yang with 20 yuan on the ninth day of the lunar month, he turned around and took me upstairs to the door of his dormitory.
Just when I was worried that Chujiu didn't have the key to his dormitory, Chujiu reached out and fumbled through the window sill above the door, and four keys fell out with a clanking sound.
"Everything about the future is unknown. For example, when I started school last year, I only had five yuan in my pocket. I never dreamed that I would have more than a hundred yuan. Isn't this the charm of life? You will never
I know what miracle will happen in the next moment! Just like I didn’t know that I could blackmail Liu Yang, and I didn’t have to take you to the Internet, haha.”
Perhaps it was because the environment changed after returning to school, and there was not much burden in my heart. Chujiu smiled particularly happily.
Chujiu told me that before going to college, he had no standard for measuring money.
Every week when I go to school from the village, I only need to bring some food to the school, and the books are free.
I went to the county town with my uncle to purchase things, and the most I spent on my uncle was more than 40 yuan.
The five yuan on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year is actually the New Year's money given by my uncle during the New Year, which is more than the New Year's money given by all the sisters in the village.
I came to Chongqing to go to college alone, so I took a bus out of the county for the first time on the ninth day of the lunar month.
I didn’t know until I arrived in Panzhihua on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year that five yuan was only enough to buy two bottles of soda in the city, or eat two bowls of the simplest noodles.
Chujiu once again told the sad story of his academic career.
I particularly emphasized the days when I was regarded as a liar and went hungry every day.
Chu Jiu was eloquently recalling the past, and scenes after arriving in Chongqing also appeared in my mind.
I met three abnormal roommates, made a bet in the military training, slept in a cemetery, and encountered wandering ghosts. Zhang Feng's sleepwalking was actually a ghost encounter, and a few days ago he saw a real dragon that only exists in fairy tales.
The unexpected things that happened in this scene should be unknown as Chujiu said.
I originally thought that my life trajectory would be to leave Lijia Village and study knowledge day after day with books until I graduated. I took the dispatch certificate issued by the school and returned to my hometown in the county. I was admitted to a good unit and worked diligently.
, working hard and without complaint for decades, I have spent most of my life.
"Guo Guo, why are you so dazed?"
On the ninth day of the lunar month, I saw that I was in a daze and did not answer his words. In the past, every time I mentioned his miserable time, I would feel guilty and comfort him.
"Go to bed quickly. It's getting late. Maybe it's because of these unknowns that life is more exciting."
When the purring sound came out, I was still energetic and opened my eyes. He was only half right. In addition to being wonderful, humans also have a sense of fear about the unknown.
I made random guesses about the itinerary of my grandfather and uncle. By this time, they had probably entered the Tibetan area. I didn’t know if they had brought enough clothes. It was probably a severe cold there...
It felt like I had just fallen asleep for a while when I was woken up by the ninth day of the lunar month to do morning exercises.
"Guo Guo, you promised me when you were in the village that you would do morning exercises on time when you get to school."
During those days in Fengwangzhai, Chujiu still insisted on getting up early every morning to do morning exercises. Because I really didn’t want to get up early, I told Chujiu that I would not do morning exercises during the winter vacation and would wait until school resumed morning exercises.
The open space in the woods behind the dormitory building was now covered with thick leaves. It seemed that no one else had been to this place except Chujiu and me.
The weather in February is not pleasant. Although the temperature in Chongqing is not that low in winter, my hands and feet always get cold from the cold. It feels like wearing more clothes is useless.
It seems that students from the north are like this and are not used to this kind of wet and cold weather.
I remember that one night before the holiday, Zhiyong explained that the weather at 10 degrees Celsius was colder than minus 20 degrees Celsius in Inner Mongolia. He only felt warm for a short time after taking a cold shower every day.
Zhang Feng, who was lying on the bed reading a magazine, got up and nodded in complete agreement.
Zhang Feng said that winter in the north is a physical attack, and as long as the armor is high enough, it can withstand the cold.
The winter in the south is a magical attack. No matter how much you wear, you can't resist it. It freezes your bones directly.
Liu Yang, who was lying in front of Zhiyong's computer, frowning at the stand-alone game, suddenly slapped his forehead:
"The words woke up the dreamer. It turns out that the equipment was wrong. No wonder I couldn't pass this level. Speaking of magic attacks, how can I resist the cold in winter?"
Zhang Feng was speechless, wrapped the quilt tightly around him, and told Liu Yang that he was studying this problem and it wouldn't take long for him to have the answer.
What others understand is that winter will be over soon.
"Chujiu, aren't you cold? You don't want to wear cotton-padded clothes in winter."
After doing a set of radio gymnastics, my hands no longer felt cold, but my feet felt even colder.
"It's not cold, I'm full of righteousness!"
Before I could reach out my hand, Chu Jiu had already rushed out a few meters away, grinning and said that the school cafeteria was officially open today and would treat me to two cages of sauced meat buns.
Unexpectedly, I met Liu Yang and his girlfriend in the cafeteria early in the morning.
Calling "Sister-in-law" twice on the ninth day of the lunar month made Xinjiang girls smile and successfully saved money for breakfast.
When Zhiyong and Zhang Feng arrived at school, the sun had just set. By coincidence, they met on the bus after leaving the train station.
For dinner, Zhiyong generously entertained guests and had a big meal in the cafeteria on the second floor of the school. He said with a sad face that he had been eating meat and drinking wine throughout the winter vacation in Inner Mongolia, and he only dreamed of the green leafy vegetables in the school cafeteria.
Zhang Feng has gained weight compared to before the winter vacation, and his skin is darker. When eating, he had to sit next to Chujiu, and the two of them kept their heads down and whispered.
Later, Chujiu told me that Zhang Feng had chatted with him about poker before, and Chujiu casually talked about some card-playing techniques.
During the Chinese New Year, Zhang Feng played cards with his cousins at home and won a lot of money. He insisted on choosing a time on the ninth day of the lunar month and specially invited him to have a big meal on the ninth day of the lunar month.
"I'm going, what's going on? There's no signal on the radio."
Zhiyong tinkered with the radio for a long time, but could not find a signal. Liu Yang happened to hear it after he had just come out of the shower. He replied that the school had notified him before that the signal tower in the campus area was under maintenance.
"I said, everyone should go to bed quickly. We will report for the class meeting early tomorrow morning."
Zhang Feng urged everyone to go to bed early, flipping the magazines in his hands without stopping for a moment.
"In Mongolia, I went to bed after nine o'clock in the evening. When I came to school to see you, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep."
"I can't sleep because I didn't eat mutton skewers at night?"
Zhiyong had just packed up the radio, and when he heard Liu Yang's teasing, he picked up the pillow and threw it out.
"I'll go! Why did you hit me?"
Zhang Feng got up and joined the team of smashing pillows, and the dormitory restored the harmonious, friendly and warm atmosphere of the past.
