Chapter 15 Chapter 03

Anna, like other women with the same fate, once she passed forty, she felt that there was nothing left to do, and there was no hope for divorce, so she began to spend the rest of her life at ease. Unexpectedly, Anna's second spring came unexpectedly when she was already living in poverty. "Anna, did you know? The turbo driver is back!" Anna's heart skipped a beat when she heard a call from her classmate Suantou. During this period of time, Anna was recuperating at home because of gastritis.It's still better now, but it was worse before, and I was admitted to the hospital all the time.The classmate called her office, but couldn't find anyone, so they chased her home.

"When did he come? Where is he hanging out now? I haven't heard from him for many years." "Don't ask me, you ask him! This is his current phone number. It seems to live with his father, An Medical University. You call his home number." "Oh! Why didn't you tell him my phone number?" Anna asked Suantou. "I didn't dare, I wanted to ask you first." Suantou knew about the relationship between Anna and the turbine driver in the past, and was afraid that he would tell the turbine driver to cause Anna trouble without asking for instructions.

"What are you talking about?! It's been so many years, I'm an old woman. What are you afraid of when an old classmate calls?" Anna put down the phone and dialed the turbine driver's number.The person who answered the phone was probably the turbo driver's stepmother, a relatively young voice. "He's giving a report at the University of Science and Technology! How about leaving a phone number?" Anna didn't know how to address the other party, so she greeted him vaguely and left her phone number. Anna was watching TV at night when the phone rang. "Anna, it's me. How are you?" As soon as the man on the other end opened his mouth, Anna knew who he was.

She froze there, not knowing what to say.Both were silent for a while. "Anna, I just arrived, so I asked Suantou to find you. It's convenient for me to find her, she is in the same compound as me. I heard that we live not far away!" The turbine driver's baritone voice was soft and calming, bringing With a southern waxy accent, he bites his tongue as he did back then. "Yes, it's very close. It only takes you ten minutes to walk here." Anna's voice trembled a little. "Long time no see, when will I see you?" "Okay, okay! I haven't seen you for many years, why don't we have a class reunion! It's rare to get together. I've been keeping in touch with everyone. I'll look for it and let you know when I find it!" Anna began to get excited, and her voice was very excited. active.

"Okay! I also want to see what everyone has become. When will you give me news?" "Soon. The city is not big, and it will take two days for someone who doesn't have a phone to come and look for him!" "Well, waiting for your news." No more words. "Okay." Anna was about to put down the phone, but felt that there was something left to say. "Anna, I'm so glad to hear your voice! Your voice hasn't changed at all, it's as young as it was back then." "Where is it! I'm an old woman, and my daughter is taller than me! How come?" Anna suddenly noticed her voice, and intentionally made it softer and more slender.

The class reunion was at a hotel next to No. 1 Middle School called "Big World, Great Achievements".The exterior decoration of the hotel is very simple, the surrounding walls are painted with blue paint to act as the blue sky, and a few white clouds are also painted.In contrast, the decoration inside is very interesting: the stool is a four-legged bench, the floor is a sickle, the wall is a red book, and the words "educated youth, go to the countryside" are painted on the front of the hall, calling classmates. They were very sighed and sighed, as if they had knocked over the five-flavored bottle.

The order of serving the dishes is also very strange. First, there is a "reminiscence of bitterness and sweet rice", followed by a few wild vegetables, which are very refreshing. The classmates haven't seen each other for a long time, and they joke with each other when they meet, and hug each other if they are familiar with each other, laughing at themselves while hugging. "The face was not attached, the belly kissed first!" "Why does your hair fall faster than the ink in your stomach? There's a football field in the middle and barbed wire on all sides!"

"My hair falls out fast, but your folds grow so much that they are like Baozi's belly button! Are you still laughing at me?" In less than ten minutes, all the previous nicknames were remembered, and he began to talk about the embarrassing things in the past while drinking, which made everyone laugh. Anna was excited, as if she had suddenly returned to her girlhood.Look at the female students around who are all mothers, but they behave casually under the slapping and slapping of old classmates, and they are a lot less restrained.The traces of the years have only been smoothed a little in the playback of this youth.

Ana didn't see the turbo driver.More than 20 minutes after the party started, the turbo driver came in a hurry, bowed at the door, said that he didn't know the way, and the change was too big, so he punished himself with three cups first. Looking at the tall and slender man in front of her, Anna couldn't help feeling that everyone was getting old.The neat little crew cut in the past is actually blowing very fast now.The only thing that remains the same is the distinctive bookish atmosphere - a dark green casual suit over a plain white fine fleece sweater, with one button loosely buttoned, revealing refreshing and elegant, It is obviously different from the baggy suits of other male students with oil spots on the front and dandruff on the back collar.Exquisite, such words popped up in Anna's mind.Turbine drivers used to be very particular about it. Even the shirts that have been washed white are only worn when they sit flat under their buttocks.Even his textbooks are clean and tidy, with no corners folded, and his notes are neat and careful.

The turbine driver shook hands with his old classmates one by one, and finally walked up to Anna, took Anna's hand, shook heavily, and shouted passionately: "Anna!" Anna raised her big Ophelia-like eyes to look at him, and said, "Hello." She smiled generously. "Let the monitor and the study committee members hug each other! Everyone applaud!" The classmates booed three times.Everyone present here knows the relationship between Anna and the turbine driver, and it is a shame not to shout "Let the old lover hug me". Anna was very embarrassed and gave Sanwo an angry look.The turbo driver was very generous, and gave Anna a strong bear hug with open arms. "Oh...!" There were cheers all around, and someone grabbed the shutter.

During the meeting, everyone shared their current living conditions with each other.This year's elites were all top-notch at the beginning, but now most of them are unsatisfactory.After returning to the city, many found a place to nest at random, neither dead nor alive.Of course, there were a few who were admitted to university later, and they all went out and saved, and they didn't come this time.So, the focus is on the turbo driver. "I am the first class after the resumption of the college entrance examination! I went to the Department of Physics of Peking University." The turbo driver said with a smile. "Didn't the original ambition be 'bigger pants'? How did you run so far?" Some students asked.Pronounced in the local dialect, the University of Science and Technology becomes "big pants". "Well, I wanted to escape far away at that time, so... I won't mention it, I won't mention it." This "don't mention it, don't mention it" is probably the most frequently used word in this class reunion. It basically sums up 20 years of unsatisfactory, and it is an abbreviation for a long period of youth.Therefore, "not to mention" has become synonymous with frustration. Anna gradually learned about the whole process of the turbo driver staying in school for graduate study, and then went to the United States to study for a doctorate before halfway through, and found a state university to teach after finishing the doctorate.Even if the problems left over from history are explained clearly.Turbine drivers should be counted among the first to go out after the resumption of the college entrance examination. Anna felt both envy and sorrow.Back then, she was on par with the turbo driver, and every time she took the test, she was the first and second.They were originally on the same starting line, but now they were left behind by a large amount.Back then, after class, I lined up the famous universities across the country into a table, pointing and pointing at the school in my mind. There were so many pointers and passionate words. Only the turbo driver really realized the dream. One.Life is so wonderful, every teenager has a beautiful dream, and the only one who can run towards the goal is the persistent one!The road to success is full of floating corpses. "Hmph, turbo drivers and their like are walking on our carrion!" Anna thought viciously. In the past twenty years, what have I gained?Looking at the flow of people leaving, Anna felt infinitely disappointed, as if she felt that a large corner of her life book had been missing in the past twenty years, which had already affected the plot of the entire book. "Anna, I'll take you back." The turbo driver stood beside Anna. "No need. My lover agreed to come pick me up. I'll make a call and he'll be here later." Anna said politely.Her self-esteem and inferiority made her take the initiative to distance herself from the turbo driver. "Not good. I want to see you off, and I want to chat with you. I want to take a walk and digest it." The turbo driver couldn't help but said, took Anna's hand and walked into the mist.Under the dim streetlights, two long shadows emerged. In early spring and March, the spring is cold and cold.After walking for a while, Anna started to twitch her shoulders.Today she dressed up specially, she had her hair blown, and she also changed into the woolen sweater that Wang Gui bought during his business trip last time, with big bat sleeves, very chic.The problem is that the clothes are not cold-resistant, and the cool wind goes straight to the heart.Anna's stomach began to ache. "I heard from Suantou that you are recuperating at home recently, and you didn't go to work?" "Well, gastritis. I don't know how I got it, but eating is normal!" "Diseases in the internal organs are mostly smoldering and attacking the heart. It is not so much a physical disease as a heart disease. The most important thing is to take care of yourself and relax. You, you just worry too much! I am not surprised that you have this kind of disease, just It's the same as seeing Shih Tzu holding her heart." Anna felt that the turbo driver had something to say. "The most annoying thing about me is to put on a posture of knowing everything. I always look at the surface to see the essence. I think I'm great. What's wrong with you? You just make it clear that I'm just like Lin Daiyu all day long. "Anna has been so aggressive since she was a child, and she can't afford to lose a word. "Haha, it's been so many years, you haven't changed at all!" The turbo driver took off his suit and put it on Anna, and then shook Anna's shoulder, "Why are you still like a little hedgehog? When you meet, hit me up. Alas, I didn't educate you well back then. Failure, failure!" Anna smiled, "Fuck you, you're the pangolin! You'll always label me with Freud and Schopenhauer. Every time you give me a diagnosis, and then you have to quote the classics. You are so worrying, sooner or later Will be a saint!" "No, it's your savior!" "The savior came too late. I have survived for more than twenty years without you." "To live is to live, to linger on one's last breath." Anna likes this kind of bickering and maneuvering very much.She likes smart men and appreciates smart heads.She calls it matching of minds.I used to fight with the turbo driver when I had nothing to do, from puzzles to chess and go, and finally developed into pure bickering.She hasn't experienced this kind of comfort for many years, because Wang Gui doesn't take over at all, mainly because she doesn't understand why. "Anna, I will contact you." When the turbo driver took Anna downstairs to her house, Anna was not polite enough to pretend to invite the turbo driver to sit down.It's eleven o'clock at night, and the children are probably asleep.On the third floor, the light in the living room was on through the window, reflecting the back of Wang Gui leaning over to write.The surrounding area is very quiet, with occasional cat meowing. "I'll call you tomorrow." "Yes." Anna did not refuse. The turbo driver waved his hand and left.Anna didn't move, she knew he would turn around, just like sending her home more than 20 years ago, a kiss would come after ten meters.Of course, maybe he had forgotten. Very accurate.About ten meters away, the turbine driver turned around and blew a kiss with his hand.Everything was so familiar, Anna went back to the time when she was eighteen years old.She was a little confused.
