Father Lin and Mother Lin were helpless about his decision.
How should I put it? After he went to Peking to go to college, one person was missing from his family. It became deserted at first, and he was not used to it. Later, when he got used to it, he packed up all his things in the second bedroom, and when the holidays came, he
I miss you so much.
But as soon as people arrived, there was another person in the house, and it suddenly became a bit crowded, which was quite unaccustomed to me. Furthermore, the three children were all on vacation, so they all stayed at home, making all kinds of noises.
Since he went to college, although he is still young, he has become half an adult. He can no longer discipline him like before. Instead, he stays at home every day and has many contacts, so bumping into each other is inevitable.
As the saying goes, if you go home for half a day, you will be your ancestors, for one day, you will be your relatives, for two days, you will be your children, and for more than three days, you will be your enemies.
Lin Xiaoguang stayed at home for a long time, and Lin's mother couldn't stand it. It was fine before. When she had no money, she didn't mess around and acted like a good baby. Now that she has money, she spends two days every day.
A little guy goes to the city, plays all kinds of tricks, and doesn't come in until dark.
How could Yang Wenshu endure this? In her words, she became a wild child.
He was also helpless. He had no choice but to go back to school.
"It's okay to leave, I'll be clean."
So, Lin Xiaoguang bought a hard sleeper ticket to go back to school. Now he was not so nervous about the ticket. After buying the ticket, he returned to Peking alone.
As for Lin Xiaoyun and Yang Lan, the former only has one child at home, so it doesn't hurt to stay longer. As for the latter, she can help cook at home during the summer vacation, and she can also help Yang Jie with homework. Such a good free labor force,
Parents will naturally not forget it.
There is only Lin Xiaoguang, whom grandpa doesn’t love and grandma doesn’t love.
Fortunately, before leaving, Yang Wenshu thought that the school was not open at the moment and he would be able to live in the dormitory when he returned, but the school would not pay him living expenses or subsidies, so she gave him thirty yuan.
"When you go back, take care of yourself, eat enough, and don't save money."
Lin Xiaoguang just nodded and said yes. Although he had a lot of money in his hand, Lin's mother handed over thirty yuan and some food stamps, but he accepted it without hesitation and even hit the snake with a stick.
"Mom, I also need to eat and drink on the way, so you can give me ten more yuan."
Immediately, the feeling of licking the calf in Yang Wenshu's heart disappeared completely, and she rolled her eyes angrily: "No, you think I got this money from the strong wind. I worked hard for a week and only got ten yuan.
It’s not like you. You can just spend a few hundred yuan, bring more steamed buns and hot sauce, and eat whatever you want on the way. Just don’t starve to death.”
"Go away, I'll get upset when I see you."
"Hey, okay." Then Lin Xiaoguang got out of bed, got on the bus to the city, and left.
A day later, he came out of Peiping Railway Station and stood in Chongwenmen Square, waiting for the bus to Old Summer Palace to come. He quickly jumped on it. After a bumpy ride of more than half an hour, the bus stopped at Wudaokou Heqing Road.
He jumped out of the car and saw that the east gate was open and students were coming in and out, and he was immediately happy.
Then, regardless of it, he stepped forward and walked inside. As expected, no one stopped him, not even the gatekeeper, who didn't even raise his head.
He walked all the way to the dormitory building, climbed up to the fourth floor, walked to dormitory 404, took out the key, opened the lock, opened the door, and saw that the scene in the dormitory was the same as before he left.
Clean up, wash your face, and tentatively go to the cafeteria to see if your luck is good.
Sure enough, he was quite lucky. Maybe there were more students and teachers staying in school. Although the cafeteria was deserted and most of the windows were closed, many were open, so there was no shortage of food.
He bought a bowl of noodles and ate it together.
After finishing the meal, I stretched my body and suddenly thought of Teacher Fu, so I went directly to the faculty and staff home. Passing by the flower bed, I saw that the pale pink jasmine was in bloom among the flowers, so I did not hesitate to snap off one and walked leisurely towards it.
destination.
Arriving at the family building, he went upstairs one floor at a time, and finally stood in front of the door, holding his breath.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" He knocked on the door without any impatience.
As he thought, the door opened, and with a cry of "Who is it?", a face appeared, with crescent-shaped eyes that looked at him, and then asked with a look of anger or surprise: "Why are you here?"
However, this time, he was disappointed.
After waiting for a long time, no one opened the door. He endured it and knocked on the door slowly and firmly again and again: "Bang! Bang! Bang!"
After a long time, no one came to open the door, and Lin Xiaoguang was finally disappointed.
At this moment, there was a sudden "squeak" and the door opened.
Lin Xiaoguang's face was happy, but he realized something was wrong. He turned around and saw an old lady with silver hair opposite the door, slightly bowing her body. After seeing who it was, she was a little surprised.
"Who did I think? It turned out to be you, Xiaoguang, Qingtong returned to his hometown, didn't you know?"
"Grandma Kang, I really don't know." Lin Xiaoguang smiled bitterly, but secretly hid the jasmine flower behind his back with his right hand.
"Come in and sit down. It's a hot day and have a sip of herbal tea."
"Hey, that's good."
Lin Xiaoguang often came to Mr. Fu's residence, and he often had contact with Mrs. Kang. Now she invited her to sit in. Lin Xiaoguang might have refused directly at other times, but today he did not dare, for fear that the old lady would become a little suspicious.
After arriving in the living room, she sat there for more than half an hour and drank a pot of tea. She felt that the old lady was a little sleepy, so she excused herself.
When he walked out of the door, Lin Xiaoguang looked at the sky with a look of despair.
The sky was so blue, cloudless, and very empty. His heart was also empty, and all his thoughts flew to Anyi, a small town by the Jianghuai River.
I returned to the dormitory a little disappointed. The whole dormitory was empty and the building was very quiet.
In this lonely atmosphere, while drinking some wine, Lin Xiaoguang became very poetic. He was not writing poetry, he was bursting with inspiration, and his head was filled with countless words to write.
Pick up the pen and let it wander. In the blink of an eye, an article appears on the page.
continue.
In this way, time flies, the sun and the moon fly by. In the blink of an eye, August passes quietly, and time enters September. The campus gradually becomes lively, and old students return to school one by one.
On September 1st, the English class began to report. The report for the old students was much simpler than that for the freshmen. They found the class teacher, signed his name, the class teacher checked, distributed living expenses and subsidies, and it was completed.
On the afternoon of September 2nd, the English class held a class meeting, which heralded the end of the summer vacation, and normal classes began on the same day.
A few days later, the school welcomed freshmen from the Class of 78. Although Lin Xiaoguang and the others were now in the second semester of their freshman year, and Tsinghua University welcomed two freshmen for the first time, in terms of status, they were already seniors and were qualified to be called Class of 78.
As freshmen, grade-level students are required to attend the orientation reception.
Lin Xiaoguang did not participate in any welcome reception. Even if his class or department arranged for him to go, he would refuse. If he couldn't refuse, he would ask Chen Yiming, who paid for the dormitory, to take his place, and treat them to Peking roast duck later.
He didn't go to welcome the new guests because he had more important things to do.
It has been several days since school started. On the day of the class meeting on the 2nd, it is reasonable to say that the class teacher, Teacher Fu, should be the host of the class meeting. However, this time is different from the last time. It was the class teacher, Teacher Xue, who presided over the class meeting, and Teacher Fu did not show up.
After the class meeting, he asked Lao Xue, but Lao Xue didn't know either.
Teacher Fu didn't know when he would be able to come back, or in other words, whether he would be able to come back. Lin Xiaoguang didn't know how miserable he was.
Just that afternoon, after the new speaking teacher finished his class, Teacher Yu Jianxin suddenly found him.
"Classmate Lin Xiaoguang, are you free tonight? My dad asked you to come to my house for dinner!"
