Chapter 70 (71)

The graduation ceremony was quite lively. I saw many students who hadn’t seen each other for a long time. Some of them had already started work. They were dressed in a dignified and decent way. Everyone greeted each other enthusiastically, and found some flowers and plants in pairs. After the trees took a group photo, everyone couldn't wait to communicate with each other about their jobs and salaries. Parents of many students also came to the school and happily helped their children wear their bachelor's uniforms. I was the only one in the class who didn’t come to the stage to receive the certificate at the graduation ceremony that day because I didn’t take the exam again. I didn’t have the bachelor’s uniform. .

In the evening, when I was having dinner at work, I got very drunk without any effort. I walked around like sleepwalking with my drunken eyes. Writing a message, I was so drunk that I even felt that my soul was out of my shell, as if I was making out with two old classmates at the same time and kept saying goodbye. In the end, I woke up from the cold in a daze, only to realize that I had arrived in the classroom of our class. There were many people in the classroom in the dark, but the lights were not turned on. There were many candles on the ground, and the faint flames were flickering by the wind. I went to the bathroom in a whirl, vomited for a while and washed my face, and returned to the classroom as if I had just woken up from a dream, only to find that except for a few students who were drunk and singing softly in the corner, everyone else was already in threes and fives. Hugged into a ball, weeping around those candles.

Those candles that were about to burn out in a flash were placed on the ground by the students in the class into two words: "youth". When I returned to the dormitory early in the morning, Ru Meng refused to go back to sleep, and dragged me to the rooftop to watch the sunrise. Finally, he told me in a drunken voice that he was going back to his hometown by bicycle. "Are you okay?" Looking at Ru Meng, who is short and skinny like me, I said with pain in my heart. "Whether it's okay or not, I have to try!" "What are you, stimulated?" "No, I didn't come on a whim. I've been thinking about it for a long time, and everything is ready!"

"Why? You want to learn from that explorer?" "No, I just want to try. Xiaolou, tell me... If we have a child in the future, if he asks: 'Dad, Dad, what did you do in college?' Xiaolou, when you say that, we will answer him What would you like to order?" I was speechless to answer, and he also turned around, watching the sunrise by himself without looking back. In the afternoon, we were woken up by a loud noise. We opened the door of the dormitory and saw that the school had arranged for someone to collect the mail. The aisles were also full of waste books and sundries, and the large cardboard boxes full of things were moved downstairs one by one to be weighed. The dormitory next door had been cleaned up and empty, only a few bare beds and The table, looks exactly the same as when we moved in four years ago.

Everyone was sweating profusely and busy in silence, no one was willing to say a word, and occasionally a few of them were whispering each other's mailing address and phone number. I helped Ru Meng pack up his things, and I helped Da Saw pack up his things in the next room. In the end, there were only some books and sundries left in that room, and no one came to clean them up, neither did I. In the evening, I asked Ru Mengmeng what to eat, would you like to go out for a drink?He said he just wanted me to accompany him to the fifth canteen for the last school meal. "It's not enough to see, but you have to stick your nose and smell it!" The fat chef who sells vegetables in the five canteens shouted angrily, which made us both very happy.Both of us are very short-sighted, and we can't tell the difference between humans and animals ten meters away, so if we don't wear glasses to buy vegetables, it's like "sticking our noses and smelling".

After the food was bought, I went to pick up two more bottles of beer and set up a small table in a mess. The two of them suddenly lost their appetite and conversation. They took a few mouthfuls of food and started to drink their own stuff. liquor.There are more and more students coming to eat in the cafeteria. They are looking around for acquaintances or empty seats. Sitting opposite us are a few unscrupulous migrant workers who are raking around the poor two plates of dishes. Rice, one of them is very young, unkempt, about 17 or 18 years old, thin and small, not tall, but with surprisingly big hands, holding the rice bowl, he seems to be in a daze with a poor appetite, helpless He looked up at the male and female students around his age who came and went.

Our new principal has started renovating our old school again.
