Chapter 14: Parents are here, don't travel far, travel must be well
Lin Xiaoguang had a bad temper when he was young. Whenever he went away from home, such as going to college, his mood would always become bad and he would lose his temper.
Later, when I became sensible and started working, I never traveled far away, so I stopped doing it.
Until one day, when his son went to study in the south and lost his temper like this, he suddenly understood why.
Home is your eternal haven.
Outside, everyone plays a variety of different roles, and without exception, they are all working hard for life. But once they get home, they all unload and don't need to worry about anything, because their parents are here and they don't need to bear anything.
As long as you play your role as a son or daughter, that's all.
Why do I lose my temper? Why do I feel bad? It’s because I don’t want to leave home or my parents.
That's why there is a saying, parents are here, don't travel far.
But there is also the second half of the sentence, you must have a good way to travel.
In ancient times, there were no trains or planes. It would take a long time to go from one place to another, such as Chang'an to Jiangnan. The imperial examination was usually held once every three years. It took several years for scholars to go out to study and take the examination.
At that time, the outside world was very big, and many people immersed themselves in reading, so they came up with that poem.
The child is determined to leave his hometown, and he vows not to return to his hometown if he fails to succeed in his studies. There is no need to bury his bones in his hometown. There are green mountains everywhere in life.
If a person cannot succeed in his studies, he will end up in his hometown for the rest of his life. If he can go out of the countryside, go out of the county, and establish a foothold in the capital of the country, then he is called success.
After being reborn, Lin Xiaoguang never thought about going back alive. He would definitely become the person he hated before.
On March 9, 1978, Chang'an Railway Station, the square in front of the station was bustling with people and turned into a green ocean. Young people from all directions gathered here. They would get on the train and go to major cities across the country to start a new life.
At this moment, Lin Xiaoguang was in a surging mood. He suddenly made a V-shaped victory gesture toward the sky and shouted: "Beiping, Veni! Vidi! Vici!"
A sudden shout broke out in the crowd, startling countless people. They turned their heads and looked around, only to see a boy over 1.6 meters tall. There were so many college students here, but none of them had studied Latin.
Of course, I can't understand what this sentence means, but I can clearly hear the two words "Beiping" in front of it.
After a brief silence, the crowd suddenly burst into applause.
Then, a group of enthusiastic young people were touched. Some of them shouted "Beiping", and after shouting a few times, some started to shout "Shanghai", others shouted "Jianghan", and some shouted "Jiangning", calling the city where they went to school.
Later, some young people leaving the station shouted "Chang'an".
The sound came one after another. Such a loud movement attracted the attention of the railway department, and soon police officers wearing red armbands came over.
Lin Xiaoguang saw that the situation was not good and ran away decisively.
After returning to the waiting room, Yang Wenshu burst into laughter: "I told you to be in the spotlight, I told you to be in the limelight, are you okay now? When can you get rid of this bad habit?"
"Mom, save some face for me!" Lin Xiaoguang felt embarrassed when there were outsiders around.
"Sorry, I made you laugh."
Zhao Ziyu and her daughter smiled, but the men didn't think anything of it. They laughed, and Lin Boping couldn't help it. His face was dark and he remained silent. When Father Zhao changed the subject, he ignored the scolding and forced out a smile.
, fully accompany the leader to chat.
Lin Xiaoguang didn't know until a few minutes ago that Zhao Ziyu was going to study in Peking.
In addition to her, her parents, brothers, and the whole family wanted to send her to Peiping to have some fun in the capital.
Probably by chance, Zhao Ziyu volunteered to help her good friend Lin Xiaoyun and asked her father to help issue a letter of introduction.
Although the old man is an old man, he really doesn't have much power. He can't get a letter of introduction that requires hard connections, let alone Lin Boping and Lin Zhongping.
Only after getting the letter of introduction can I get these six soft sleeper tickets.
But since there is a soft sleeper, who would sleep in a hard sleeper? We can't bear to suffer these three grandchildren. The old man did not refuse. If you owe a favor, you owe a favor. You can pay it back later. Let's deal with this matter first.
Lin Xiaoguang had already made up his mind to sleep in a hard sleeper for more than 20 hours, but he did not expect that there would be such benefits as a soft sleeper.
It was unexpected, but whatever, with the soft sleeper, he didn't miss the high-speed trains and airplanes of later generations.
Those who can buy soft sleeper seats are all well-connected people. There is also a special high-end tea waiting room for waiting for the bus. More than ten of them sat together and chatted. The steward informed them that they could get on the bus, so they took their luggage and were led by the steward.
Get off and enter the green train.
After getting in the car, the luggage was properly placed, and the mother told her children how they were going to Peking. There were endless things to talk about.
Fortunately, they got on the bus in advance. Passengers with hard seats and hard sleepers were still waiting in the waiting room. About ten minutes later, the ticket gate began to check tickets and release them. It was noisy outside. Although the driving time was still long, the passengers quickened their pace and were in a good mood.
I couldn't help but become anxious.
The same goes for Yang Wenshu and several other mothers. The more time they are pressed for, the more things they have to do without remembering.
At the end, I was finally politely asked out of the carriage by the conductor and sent to the platform. Even when I arrived at the platform, I was still reluctant to leave. I smiled brightly in front of the person, suppressing the emotions surging in my heart. The person behind me was at a loss as to where to go or retreat. My whole person
My heart feels empty.
It’s the first time for a child to go away from home. It’s always like this.
When the bell rang, and then the sharp whistle "Woo-Woo" echoed in the station, the train started slowly, amidst the "click-click-click" and "eating-eating-eating-eating-eating-eating-eating-eating-eating-eating-eating-eating-eating-eating-eating-eating-eating-eating-eating-eating-eating-eating-eating-eating-eating-eating-eating-eating-eating-eating-eating-eating-eating-eating-eating-eating-eating-eating-eating-eating" movement towards the distance.
Lin Xiaoguang did not return to the soft sleeper compartment until Yang Wenshu was no longer visible.
As soon as he walked in, Zhao Ziyu smiled and joked: "What? You've only been out for a few minutes and you already feel homesick?"
Lin Xiaoguang liked her very much before, but then he changed his mind because of something. Now he can't say that he likes her. If it weren't for the help this time, he probably wouldn't want to be in the same room with her and wouldn't bother to talk to her. At this time, he just
He replied coldly: "What's wrong with being homesick? Only heartless people are homesick."
Zhao Ziyu choked up immediately. She really didn't expect that Lin Xiaoguang would be so cold, which was completely opposite to the last time they met at the train station.
As a child of a cadre family, she also has her pride, but she will not lose her temper with children. She just lowers her head and chuckles, her mind is spinning, and she retorts casually: "Heartless optimism is optimism. What's wrong with that?
Besides, my family is all in the car, why do I miss home? Only children miss home."
There is a soft sleeper private room for four people. The first private room is for Zhao Ziyu’s parents, brother and younger brother. This private room is for Lin Xiaoguang’s three siblings, plus Zhao Ziyu. The last private room is of course Lin Xiaoguang’s three fathers.
Lin Xiaoguang really had no choice, otherwise he really wanted to sleep in Father Lin's private room.
There were three girls in the private room. Lin Xiaoyun and Zhao Ziyu were whispering, and Yang Lan was left reading a book. Lin Xiaoguang wanted to sleep, but felt annoyed listening to Zhao Ziyu's words. In desperation, he had to go outside to watch the scenery.
Not long after, Lin Xiaoyun came out quietly and asked with a smile: "What's wrong? It's like eating gunpowder?"
Lin Xiaoguang looked at the receding trees outside and the endless fields. He took a long breath, turned his head, and looked directly at Lin Xiaoyun: "Sister, did you show her the "Self-study Series of Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry" to her?"
Lin Xiaoyun was stunned and blurted out: "How did you know?"
