Chapter 25 Flower Season and Rainy Season - Chapter 25 Tomorrow is a New Day

Xiaoxu's diary X month X day Hongfan took Liu Xia away, and I can only wish her smooth sailing.Everyone has their own way, their own choice, what will happen to them?What will happen to me? While chatting with my classmates, I learned that Mr. Jiang will teach science classes next semester, but not liberal arts classes, and I immediately felt very sad. Xinran asked me again: "You must be studying literature, right?" I sat quietly for a while, and suddenly said, "No, I'm learning." Xinran looked at me very strangely.I was in a bad mood all morning.Whether it's going to class or get out of class, or going up and down...anything can't leave an impression on me.In Chinese class, I was also in a daze.The teacher told us to divide into sections, but I didn't pay attention.Teacher Jiang came down and asked in a low voice: "Lin Xiaoxu, are you uncomfortable?" I looked at Teacher Jiang.Can't say anything.

after school.The classmates rushed out of the school gate first, but I was left behind.At this time.A bell behind me woke me up, it was Xinran.She handed me a letter and said it was for me.After speaking, he rode away. Inside the envelope was a poem, a poem by the American poet Sandburg: I tell you about the wind that Kenji stopped yesterday. It is the setting sun in the west. I tell you there is nothing else in the world. There is only one ocean full of tomorrow. A sky filled with tomorrow. We say it at sunset.Tomorrow is another day. Slowly fold up the letterhead.This poem is so good, Xin Ran is so good.

Little Beibei also pulled her head today, but she didn't know where she went.But I'm still very moved. Father becomes top ten youth The good news from Xinran's family keeps coming.First, my father's scientific research achievements won awards abroad, and then my father was named "Shenzhen Top Ten Youth", and was given a number of awards, one of which was to solve the household registration problem. The whole family was elated, discussing that after moving to the registered permanent residence, the first thing to do is to buy a house.Almost every family in Shenzhen buys a house, which is also a major feature of Shenzhen.But what I have to do today is to go to the "Eight Immortals Building" for dinner and celebrate.

Dad put on his suit and tie. "Dad, I found that you dress up and look very stylish. "Stylish and stylish, what do you mean? It's another Cantonese word." My mother said. "Cantonese people can create words, such as 'fix' and 'weishui'."Looking at Hong Kong's "Ta Kung Pao" and "Wen Wei Po", there are more than ten unknown characters in a text message, which is unprecedented!I think I have read books for so many years, how could I become illiterate when I arrived in Guangdong, and I have to go back to primary school! Dad said: "This is what people do as the Romans do. Xingran started calling me 'Lao Dou', I am also very awkward, and I am not used to it now. In Cantonese, I call my father 'Lao Dou', which probably refers to being my father's boss. Children play, so call it 'Old Bean'!

Smiled happily: "Yes, people do as the Romans do. So I can say what I said just now: 'Old Dou', I found that you dress up, you are very stylish, you are so handsome! The award ceremony was broadcast on TV that day. Ritual, I spotted you at a glance! "That's it," Dad blurted out, "Otherwise, your mother wouldn't have chased me every day back then. Mom said to Xinran: "Look at your father getting older and more unruly." "Old? Dad is one of the 'Top Ten Youths'! It's strange to say, Dad is completely middle-aged, how can you say 'youth'?"

Dad showed a wry smile: "China's age boundaries are so unclear. There is no clear boundary between youth, middle age, and adulthood. It was really uncomfortable to stand with a young man 20 years younger than me on the day of the award. After thinking about it, People probably subtracted the 10 years I lost in the Cultural Revolution. Dad's humor is full of bitterness. My mother said: "Xin Ran, it's all over now, I don't need to go back to Shanghai, I'm from Shenzhen now! Xinran was very proud, revealing two shallow dimples.Finally, the account can come.I have been looking forward to it for 3 years!

"Happily, it's mainly Dad's patented product that worked this time," Dad said. Xin Ran glanced down: "Father, don't be too proud. My calligraphy is on display in the city library, and it has received a lot of attention, but I have not yet appreciated it myself. "That's not calligraphy, it's big characters." Dad smiled and scratched Xinran's nose with his hands. "That's not an invention of yours, it's a small production! Xin Ran wrinkled her nose and fought back. Xin Ran wanted to tell Tang Yanyan about her household registration, so she pressed Tang Yanyan's home phone number.Suddenly, Xinran felt that it was inappropriate to do so, and quickly pressed the clip of the machine with her hand.hang up the phone.Xinran has some scruples and worries, but what are the specific scruples and worries, Xinran can't say, is the hukou really coming?

The next day, Xinran returned home, and when eating, my parents were a little serious. "Xin Ran, we want to talk to you about something. Xinran stopped the chopsticks. "Mom and Dad's hukou is coming. If we want to move first, we want to move your brother's hukou first. You know your brother's hukou is in the countryside and he is getting older. The later the time, the more troubles will come. So we want to move your brother's hukou first. You are young and can go to university, but your brother..." Xinran is a reasonable girl.For my brother, I often feel guilty that he got far less than himself.She gladly understands her parents, especially since these words came from her mother, which made her feel the shining points in her mother.

"I know. Feel free to say it, but unhappiness is inevitable. The next day, Mom and Dad told Xinran that the municipal party committee took care of outstanding intellectuals and solved the household registration problem of their family of four. Looking at the elated parents, Xin Ran couldn't be happy. "Really!" Mom added. Smile happily. Standing on the balcony, Xin Ran looked at Shenzhen, a city full of high-rise buildings and brilliant lights that never sleeps. She felt a little dazed. The twists and turns of moving her household registration made Xin Ran's nerves go numb, so that she no longer felt excited.

"Xin Ran, are you happy?" Dad asked. Xinran glanced at her father, then looked at this beautiful city, she thought for a long time before saying: "Happy. After all, Xinran loves this city and yearns for this city. Now she has stepped in and become the city A member of the immigrant city, of course happy, but now this kind of happiness is different from before. "Happy." Dad subconsciously repeated. "At least, at least I don't have to go back to Shanghai to share a room with my cousin. When she really got the "green card" in Shenzhen, Xinran never thought that she should call Tang Yanyan to tell her the good news, but Tang Yanyan came by herself.

"Why don't you tell me something good! "How do you know?" Xin Ran was surprised. "I'm well-informed." "The ears are really sharp." "Congratulations!" Xinran knew that Tang Yanyan was sincere, but she still couldn't get excited and just smiled. "Yanyan. What about you?" "I?" "Still at Nanhai Hotel?" "Not anymore. "Where is that?" "I worked as a tour guide in Traveling Du. I changed jobs after I had a Guangdong hukou. It is very troublesome without a Shenzhen hukou. "So what if I have a registered permanent residence? Actually..." Xin Ran didn't continue because she noticed that Tang Yanyan's expression was not right.Tang Yanyan couldn't understand it for a while.At the beginning, like Tang Yanyan, I was extremely disgusted with other people talking about the truth, so why am I parroting it now? Xin Ran changed his words and said, "I hope your account will come soon." Tang Yanyan smiled wryly: "You know. Shanghai Pudong is developing very well now. People assert that she will surpass Shenzhen. After all, it is an old city, after all, it is a big Shanghai! Xing Ran stared at Tang Yanyan.Feel her regret and unhappiness.Recently, I am pleased to find that the media has frequently reported on the development of Shanghai. In the past, "I can't go overseas to go to Hong Kong and Macau, and I can't go to Hong Kong and Macau to come to Shenzhen" has become "the world is optimistic about the Asia-Pacific. Asia Pacific is optimistic about China, and China is optimistic about Shanghai".With the comprehensive opening up of Pudong, the general invigoration of enterprises, and the strong capital of old Shanghai, Shanghai will regain its glory.Tang Yanyan moved her household registration from Shanghai to a small city in Guangdong, she must have regretted it.Xinran said at a low level: "Yanyan..." Tang Yanyan looked at her watch and interrupted Xinran: "I have to go." before leaving.Tang Yanyan patted Xinran's head again like last time: "I said so. You will do better than me!" Xinran felt touching and desolate again, it seemed stronger than last time.Fate is really tricky.Tang Yanyan faced Shenzhen more realistically and more difficultly than she did. "Yanyan, tell me, tell me honestly, do you have any regrets? In Shenzhen's 'green card' and university badge selection?" Tang Yanyan holds her hair: "At home, my parents also ask the same question. To them, I always hold my head up and say, 'I don't regret it.' But to you, I have to tell the truth. Fortunately, this road is my own choice. , I can never look back, good horses don’t turn back. I admit, I regret it occasionally, but I still have to go on. It’s like a child wrestling, his mother is beside him, he cries loudly; his mother is not by his side , he got up obediently before leaving. Xinran, do you understand what I mean?" Xin Ran nodded, feeling a little relieved: "You will do a good job!" Tang Yanyan smiled: "Of course, I am very confident in myself." I hope China will become rich soon During the break, the classroom was a bit noisy, but Xin Ran was concentrating on the questions.She made up her mind to pay close attention to her studies and get into college. "Xin Ran, Sura is looking for you." Liu Qing said. Because Liu Qing and Sura met during the TOEFL shift during the winter vacation, Sura asked Liu Qing to be the mouthpiece. Xinran looked towards the door.Saw Sura standing outside. "Looking for me? Xinran is a little strange. "I'm here to return the books to you." Su La said and handed over several junior high school English books. "Thank you." Glad to be thanked by Su La, the already cautious heart became more cautious: "Don't worry, it won't be too late after you finish the college entrance examination." "Xin Ran. I'm here to say goodbye to you. I'm not taking the college entrance examination." Gladly stunned.On Christmas, the two Christmas cards she gave to two classmates in the third year of high school all wrote "I wish you to be admitted to college".But Tang Yanyan and Su La didn't take the college entrance examination, so they felt that they had done something strange. "why! "Xinran, there is a calligraphy and painting exhibition in the city library, including your calligraphy, shall we go and have a look together? Su La didn't answer Xinran's question directly, but got involved with other things. Xin Ran had to admire Sura.two years ago.She had "harmed" him once, and she thought that Sura would hate her all her life, and she never expected Sura to forgive her, but today Sura's generosity cannot be inconvenienced. Sura hesitated when she saw Xinran: "If your mother refuses, then forget it. "No, I can go. Xin Ran panicked and said. She hasn't seen her own exhibits either. How does Su La know that the library has her works? Thinking of this, she felt hot all over. "Well, I'll come to you after school. Sura is happy," he said. Su La and Xin Ran went to the city library.The building in front of the library is a huge piece of golden glass. Through the glass, she happily saw the images of herself and Sura. At that moment, she felt that Sura looked like a person. "Xin Ran, I came to say 'goodbye' to you." "why? "I'm going to jump in line. "Cutting in line? Xin Ran didn't react for a moment. Sura explained: "I'm going to the United States, and my visa has been approved. "Really? Are you leaving?" Sura nodded. "Aren't you recommended to go to Shenzhen University?" "In my eyes, an American university degree is higher than a domestic degree." "Have you completed all the formalities? I am glad to know that there are many barriers to going abroad, and it is by no means that you can go out just by saying it. "Well. Now I don't go to school. If I don't take the college entrance examination, going to school will be boring and stress-free. I'm learning crafts from a master in a big restaurant, and working in a restaurant when I go outside. With this almost authentic Chinese food , the boss will definitely be willing to hire me. The salary will also be high. Sura made a gesture of cooking, which made Xinran laugh: "Why do you suddenly want to go abroad?" "How should I put it, Sura said, I have lived according to an invisible and intangible law since I was a child. Primary school, middle school, and university are set by my parents. They want me to live according to their wishes and impose their way of thinking. To me, but I don't want to. "You want to go abroad out of rebellion? "Probably a bit of rebellious psychology. What will happen when I go abroad. I am not optimistic, but I must go to see it. The United States is highly modernized and has good learning conditions. Young people want to go out to see, learn and have fun. It's all good. Didn't many Chinese people go abroad in the 1920s and 1930s? Lu Xun and Guo Moruo all went abroad. I also want to experience it and see how wonderful the outside world is. Sura then added: "I'm 18 years old. Xin Ran felt a little sad: "Will you come back later? "I don't know. How do I know if I'll go back or not before I go out? I heard that there are two kinds of people who come back, the best and the ones who can't get along. When I come back, I want to adopt the attitude of the former. There is always a feeling of wandering abroad. No matter how good you are, you are working for others, a second-class citizen. Some time ago, I read an interview that China also has preferential policies for international students, giving priority to job titles and housing. These are used to attract international students. In fact, this phenomenon is quite abnormal Yes, why do they enjoy so many discounts? Just because they have been abroad? Doesn’t this mean that few people come back? I believe what Qian Xuesen said, when it’s time to come back, they will naturally come back, including me. And there is no need What a deal. "I may not see you again. "I think..." Sura looked at Xinran and didn't continue. This speechless gaze made Xinran feel that Sura was very much like a person, and she felt very kind.Once after school, Xing Ran saw Sura walking with another girl with big eyes while talking, she was vaguely annoyed, just like being robbed of her toy by other children when she was a child, even if the toy was not her favorite of. "Could it be that I..." asked herself happily.She had a premonition of what was going to happen between them, so she stepped forward: "I will send you a Christmas card. "Are you still passing Tang Yanyan?" Sura joked. "No, I'll send it across the ocean. After the two of them finished the exhibition, they left the library, and through the golden glass, they happily saw the shadows of her and Sura, and she smiled. "Xin Ran, I'm leaving next week. Do you know what I hope most?" "Get on the plane? Be an international student? Be..." Su La shook his head repeatedly, and finally he said deeply: "I most hope that our country can one day be like the United States, allowing many foreign scholars. Ph.D. international students to wash dishes and dishes in Chinese restaurants, let them taste this taste, let them do everything possible China, I hope China will get rich soon! A girl applied for Tibet University Xin Ran felt very strange.The Christmas cards she gave to two high school seniors at Christmas all wrote "I wish you to be admitted to college".As a result, both students gave up the college entrance examination: Tang Yanyan thought that Shenzhen's "green card" was more attractive than a university badge; Su La believed that an American university degree was more attractive than a domestic university degree.They are all for their own goals. Ugh.Senior year! the next day.As soon as Xin Ran arrived at school, she heard her classmates talking about a strange thing. "real?!" "Unbelievable!" "What on earth is she thinking?" "wack! Xin Ran didn't understand what the students were talking about, she just felt strange, at this moment, Xiao Yao came over. "Xie Xinran, there is a girl in the third year of high school who applied for Tibet University, do you know?" Xin Ran froze for a moment: "Really?" "Really, let alone the third year, the whole high school is talking about it! It can be seen that this incident greatly shocked Xiao Yao. "What's the girl's name?" "have no idea. "What the hell is going on?" "I heard that this girl's parents are both entrepreneurs. Her grades are not very top-notch, but it is not a problem to enter Shenzhen University. She has never told anyone that she is going to apply for Tibet University, but she filled in Tibet University when she filled out her application. The teacher Surprised, she asked her if she made a mistake. She said that she was going to apply for Tibet University. Now, she became a news figure, and her parents, teachers, classmates, and friends didn't understand her. After Xiao Yao finished speaking, he paused And said, "It's the first time I met such a courageous girl in my life circle.I really admire her. "me too. "I knew you'd admire her. So I'll tell you about it as soon as you come." one morning.Xin Ran was disturbed by this incident.She didn't understand what kind of girl this was.Why did she decide like this?Leaving the affluent urban life, Tibet is now daunting, and is accompanied by hardships. During the class break, Xing Ran went to the third grade to ask about it, only to find out that this girl is in the same class as Tang Yanyan and Su La, and her name is Li Dongmei.Glad to think of it, but the impression is not deep.I only remember that Li Dongmei wore double braids that were rarely seen on campus, and her face was unhappy and unhappy.According to the introduction of Li Dongmei's classmates, she is very gentle, not good at talking, and her status in the class is dispensable. In short, she is an unremarkable girl. "Now she is outstanding. I really don't know what she thinks?" Li Dongmei's classmate said. "Where is she?" Xin Ran asked. "Invited to the office by 'Old Antique'. Xinran wanted to know Li Dongmei even more, and wanted to talk to her.Xinran learned about Li Dongmei's situation from the side, and felt that she was very mysterious. Xinran was waiting at the door of Director Zhan's office. Sure enough, Li Dongmei came out. Director Gu took her hand and made some changes to the "Supreme Instructions": "China belongs to us, and it belongs to you, but in the end it is yours." of! When Director Gu entered the office, Xin Ran called her to stop: "Li Dongmei! Li Dongmei turned around and smiled as usual. Li Dongmei is very thin and plain, walking on the road without looking back "Dongmei, I..." "Wait first," Li Dongmei responded very quickly, "If you want to ask about that. I can only plagiarize four words that celebrities often say to tabloid reporters. "Which four words? "No comment. I smiled happily.She felt that Dongmei was not as rigid as she thought, and Dongmei also had her lively side. " "Dongmei, I really want to know why, can we talk? Dongmei thought for a while: "Xie Xinran, do you know what my nickname is?" "what?" "Someone gave me the nickname of 'communism'. It's not 'socialism' but 'communism'. Now many people are very selfish, and life seems to be just for fun. I don't understand them. They don't understand me either. "Many people asked me why I went to Tibet, and many of them expressed puzzlement. Although the head teacher praised me in class, he told me in private to 'think clearly'. I don't want to play tricks, but there is really nothing to say. Everyone has his own ambitions. A female scientist in the United States went into a big forest to be with orangutans, how do you explain it! Xin Ran asked again: "What did Director Gu talk to you about just now?" "Of course it is to praise me Luo, saying that I have great ambitions and that I should be set up as a model. Director Gu can't forget his ideological work at all times. But I understand him. He is a good person. Director Gu pays too much attention to the advanced figures and examples on the honor roll h.I feel that only flaunting it and telling the world can inspire people, but I don't know the influence and role of little people in life. "Dongmei, thank you. Xinran suddenly finds Dongmei very attractive. "Thank you?" Dongmei wondered, "Thank me for what? "Thank you for your kindness." Xin Ran said, "I wish you good luck getting into college! This is Xinran saying this to senior high school students again, and I believe it can be realized this time. Xin Ran was very moved and proud of having such an extraordinary girl among her peers.Compared with it, she felt that she was very small, and she used to worry about the household registration issue.So tacky. She gladly told Xiaoxu her feelings, her words were full of admiration for Dongmei. Lin Xiaoxu stared at the boss: "Xin Ran, I think you admire her. Don't be too big, you also went to Tibet. "No," Xin Ran shook his head, said calmly and seriously, "appreciation is different from admiration. I don't worship anyone, and I won't learn Dongmei from a gourd. Xin Ran then asked, "You don't think my words and deeds are inconsistent, do you?" Xinran did not allow Xiaoxu to answer, and said: "Really. I admire this girl very much. But I am different from her, so how can I simply imitate her? Wouldn't that be like an imitation of Dongmei! Dongmei is right. Although We live under the same sky. The experience of life is the same, but each person's mental journey is different, so each person's path is also different. Oh, under the same sky...
