1979: My fiancée is a goddess

Chapter 323 Ten Years Later, Looking Back

Classroom door.

Cheng Kaiyan stopped with his briefcase and immediately looked towards the source of the sound. He found several people standing by the windows in the back row of the classroom basking in the sun.

"Old Ye, you're leaving so early? Leaving tonight?"

Cheng Kaiyan came closer, frowned, and asked in surprise.

In theory, submitting a thesis does not mean graduation.

"Yes, I've been out for too long this time. It's time to go back. Something happened at home and they urged me to go back. Besides, the New Year is coming soon.

I have explained the situation to Director Fang, and Director Fang said that I can go back after submitting the paper. If there are any revisions, I will send a letter to explain in detail. "

A trace of melancholy appeared on Ye Xin's somewhat dry face, and he sighed.

He didn't want to go back so early, but an elder in his family happened to have passed away recently, and his family knew that he was about to graduate, so they urged him to go back.

"I see."

After listening to the explanation, Cheng Kaiyan nodded.

Speaking of it, he, Ye Xin, Jiang Zilong, and Wang Anyi encountered too many things this summer while collecting folk songs in southern Xinjiang, including collecting folk songs, marching, going to the front line, encountering the enemy, and making contributions together, which led to a deep comradeship.

It’s not that I’m so sad that I can’t let go, but I still feel a sense of regret and loss.

"By the way, didn't the results of the military travel essay contest come out a few days ago? How are you doing? What prize did you win? I won first prize this time, and Brother Ye and Brother Jiang both won second prize."

Wang Anyi thought about the military field trip and asked curiously with her hands on her hips.

There was a hint of pride in his tone.

"Congratulations to Comrade Xiao Wang, Lao Ye and Lao Jiang. Congratulations to both of you, but I also won first prize."

Cheng Kaiyan was a little surprised and congratulated.

"Congratulations, Kaiyan, you really deserve the first prize this time."

Ye Xin acted more casually. The difference between first and second prize was only 500 yuan more and a chance to make a movie.

"Xiao Wang's work is also very well written this time. It is written from the perspective of a medical soldier on the battlefield. It seems to be based on the prototype of Doctor Lin Qingshui, right?"

Jiang Zilon was deeply impressed by this novel.

"It's not that good. It was indeed written based on her."

Wang Anyi smiled and nodded. The reason she won the first prize this time was not only because her writing ability had improved, but also because Sister Lin's deeds were extraordinary.

"Thank you."

When Cheng Kaiyan heard this, she thanked her sincerely.

"You're welcome."

A few people were chatting casually in the back seat, and a few lesbians and gays came over to exchange a few words.

It's nine o'clock.

Director Fang came with a group of more than ten people, including teachers who had taught in the writer's class, Jiang Ting, Zhang Guangnian, Wang Meng, Ding Ling and others, all of whom are famous writers and professors.

“Has everyone finished their thesis?
Today is the last day. Don’t worry if you haven’t finished your work yet. You can just hand it in by the end of the month, but you can’t do it in a shoddy way.

In addition to submitting papers today, we all took a graduation photo together as a graduation commemoration."

As Director Fang finished speaking, the atmosphere in the classroom began to feel a little melancholy and sad.

"Everyone has spent a fulfilling and satisfying day in this small classroom. It has been seven months since May...

As the saying goes, all good things must come to an end. Even the most beautiful days will eventually come to an end, and now everyone has to go their separate ways.

Some people stay in the city to work, some go to the countryside to carry loads of fertilizer, and some go to the factory to forge steel components...

Everyone has his or her own path in life, and wherever they go, they will leave footprints.

I hope that no matter where you are, please don’t forget this journey, don’t forget to feel it with your heart, write it down with a pen, and record it on paper.

Writing is something that everyone will be grateful for and happy about in their lifetime.”

Having said that, Director Fang's cloudy eyes slowly fell on the first comrade in the first row, paused, and moved away.

Stay, move away.

During the conversation, Kaiyan and the other three smiled and nodded. Basically, the four of them were the best students in the writer class.

Director Fang seemed to remember everyone in his heart.

Finally, he said with a trembling voice: "Finally, I hope that we can see each other again when we look back ten years later."

The old and trembling voice was like a red iron branding on everyone's heart.

A sudden wave of emotion burst out.

"See you again in ten years!"

Everyone responded at the top of their voices.

Every word echoed in this old classroom.

The sunlight shines through the old wooden windows of the classroom and onto the small desks.

The mottled, stained wood texture is like a half-old book, half rotten and half glowing in the sun.

It seemed to be recording something. After a few words, more than a dozen teachers came on stage to say goodbye.

Before they knew it, many lesbians had tears in their eyes, while the gay men had red eyes.

"Okay, everyone, come downstairs. I'll move a few stools downstairs so we can take pictures on the playground."

Director Fang waved his hand and led everyone downstairs.

The crowd of more than 40 people moved away extremely slowly, and everyone seemed to feel a little depressed.

Cheng Kaiyan followed the crowd and Jiang Ting stood beside him.

The beautiful woman patted his arm and whispered, "I brought the camera for you. Do you want to use it?"

"camera?"

"Well, after I came back from Fangshan last time, I had someone develop the photos. But since you went to southern Xinjiang, they have been with me. I took three rolls of film when I left this morning. That should be enough."

"Then I'll trouble you to take the photo for us later. I think everyone will want to take some other photos besides the group photo."

"Ah."

Before we knew it, we arrived at the playground.

The weather is very good today, with a sunny day, a clear blue sky and soft white clouds.

Everyone lined up in order of height. Cheng Kaiyan originally planned to go to the back, but Director Fang asked him to come to the front and half-squat.

"it is good!"

"Three-two-one, eggplant!"

Five meters away, there was a camera. The photographer hid his head in a cloth bag and pressed the balloon-like camera button.

click-

A dazzling white light flashed before my eyes, and a black and white graduation photo was completed.

"Anyone who wants to take pictures can come over here. Our Professor Jiang can help you take pictures, but there is not enough film, so each person can only take two pictures!"

Cheng Kai turned around and announced to his classmates in the writers' class.

"That's great! Sister Kangkang, I was just thinking about how to take two more photos as a souvenir!"

"Squad leader, let's take a photo!"

"Thank you so much, Professor Jiang."

Everyone quickly gathered around happily. The one who was pulled to take photos the most was Jiang Zilong, followed by Cheng Kaiyan, and a few other capable people in the class.

The three rolls of film were quickly used up.

The last photo is a group photo of Cheng Kaiyan and her aunt standing under the national flag. Cheng Kaiyan is making a scissors gesture, while Jiang Ting folds her hands in front of her belly. The coldness has faded away, and a gentle smile blooms on her face. Two dimples appear on both sides of her cheeks, which looks particularly beautiful.

Click!

The scene freezes at this moment.

After taking the photos, we made an appointment to have lunch together at noon.

Several teachers left the school because they were very busy and came back at noon.

Cheng Kaiyan, Jiang Zilong and others found a state-owned restaurant and ordered food and drinks.

Thirty or forty people ordered three tables of dishes and ate and chatted until three in the afternoon.

Gay men drink alcohol and lesbians drink beverages.

Cheng Kaiyan also drank some.

It was six o'clock in the afternoon and the sky was dark.

Cheng Kaiyan and other three gathered at the train station square.

"Then we'll get in."

Ye Xin and Wang Anyi, carrying their luggage in large and small bags, waved goodbye.

Both of their families are in Shanghai, so for safety reasons, they took the train back together.

"Have a nice trip and take care of yourself."

Cheng Kaiyan waved goodbye.

"Be careful. Old Ye, remember to take good care of Xiao Wang on the train. There are all kinds of people on the train right now."

Jiang Zilong reminded seriously.

"Do not worry."

Ye Xin nodded seriously.

"We must keep in touch..."

Wang Anyi looked at the two of them with red eyes, tears streaming from the corners of her eyes, and her voice was a little hoarse.

"Well, keep in touch."

“Revolutionary friendship lasts forever!”
