It was the sweltering heat of August, and the sun at noon was so strong that it could peel off a layer of skin. On the streets of Hengsheng Business District in City C, Jianan Province, pedestrians in groups of three or four were rushing to the office buildings. In the 42-degree heat, rushing downstairs to eat a meal was like going to war, which was really unbearable.
Yi Jie sat down on a lounge chair shaded by a big tree in the Central Park to take a breath, holding a small stack of real estate flyers that had not been distributed in her hand. She took out a half-empty bottle of water and a bag of whole wheat toast that cost two yuan from her bag, and ate a bite of toast and a sip of water for lunch.
Looking at the brightly dressed white-collar workers walking into the office building in the distance, I was thinking that I haven't made a single deal in the past two months and haven't sold a single house. I guess I won't be able to pay the money back this month if I live off the guaranteed income. It seems that I have to find a way to make some extra money, otherwise it will be very troublesome if the court freezes my account.
Yi Jie wiped the sweat that was about to drip from her forehead, encouraged herself in her heart, stood up from the recliner swiftly, and ran to the next flyer distribution site.
"Miss, do you need to buy a house recently?"
"No, no." The woman waved her hand impatiently and walked away in her high heels. Yi Jie immediately looked at the pedestrians who were about to walk in front of her. It was almost time to get off work, and the flow of people was visibly increasing.
I had almost finished distributing the flyers in my hand, so I left a few phone numbers, although the men's purpose was just to add me on WeChat.
There are usually many such people, and there is a possibility of making a deal, so Yi Jie accepts all of them. Her life is already like this, why should she care about whether they are harassed or not? What matters is to have performance and earn money. She will call tomorrow morning to communicate and see if she can arrange an appointment with them to see the house.
As Yi Jie was thinking this, she didn't notice that a car with a brake failure was rushing towards the roadside from behind, and Yi Jie was hit and thrown away.
Before she lost consciousness, Yi Jie thought that if she died like this, it would be a relief. But her mother and others would be sad. She had lived to be 27 but had never let her family enjoy her happiness. She was also heavily in debt due to failed investments.
"Yi Jie, Yi Jie, wake up!" Yi Jie opened her eyes in a daze.
A small, chubby face came into view, with big round eyes full of anxiety, and the pimples on the nose tip were sweating. Is this... is this Yang Wenjun? Yi Jie's mind became half clear.
"You finally woke up! You scared me to death!"
Although she was still a little dizzy, Yi Jie also saw clearly that the other person was wearing a loose camouflage uniform, which seemed to be the military training uniform she wore in high school!
Looking at Yang Wenjun's round face again, Yi Jie sat up straight, startling Yang Wenjun. "What's wrong? Are you okay?"
Yi Jie answered subconsciously: "Yeah, I'm fine."
Yang Wenjun breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. You suddenly fainted while walking just now. It must be because you stood at attention for half an hour at noon today. You must have heatstroke. I see cold sweat on your forehead. I will accompany you to the infirmary, and then ask for leave from the instructor, so that we don't have military training this afternoon. Come, I'll help you up."
Yi Jie responded with "OK" and stood up with Yang Wenjun's hand. Her vision went dark and she shook her head. Then she walked towards the infirmary under the guidance of Yang Wenjun.
Probably able to see that Yi Jie was still uncomfortable, Yang Wenjun didn't say much along the way. Yi Jie glanced around the surroundings. This was where she had stayed for three years.
Mingde High School, a second-rate high school in Wen County, has a serious polarization in student quality. The key classes are all the best students that the school has spent a lot of effort to recruit. However, for the talent monopoly plan of Wen County No. 1 High School, the only key high school in the county, the best students that have been snatched can only be said to be mediocre.
Except for two key classes with strict management, other students were basically left alone. At that time, my aunt used her connections to get me into the key science class. However, it was also because I was only a dozen points away from the county's key admission score, otherwise it would have taken much more effort.
Was I back in high school? Or was I dreaming? If I was dreaming, why was it so real? While Yi Jie was still confused, the two of them unknowingly walked to the door of the infirmary.
Yang Wenjun told the school doctor about Yi Jie's situation. The school doctor took out a bottle of Huoxiang Zhengqi water and handed it to Yi Jie. Yi Jie frowned, thinking that if it was a dream, she shouldn't be able to taste anything. She unscrewed the bottle cap and drank it.
Yang Wenjun was standing next to her, and the word "hero" was almost written on his face. When the smell that could lift the roof of one's head rushed into her nose, Yi Jie was sure that she was not dreaming, and that she was really reborn like what was written in the novel. The great surprise was conveyed to her brain along with the bitter smell of medicine.
The school doctor asked her to lie down on the bed in the infirmary and have a good rest, and kindly turned on the air conditioner. However, Yang Wenjun was ruthlessly expelled from the infirmary. It was absolutely impossible for her to be lazy during military training.
Yi Jie lay on the bed thinking about everything she had just experienced. Her mind became clear and she returned to the military training at the beginning of her freshman year in high school in 2012.
It seems that this happened before. During the military training, I was too hard and fainted due to heat stroke. I had to rest in the infirmary for half a day. It seemed that it happened about a week after the military training. That means there was still a week before the end of the military training. I didn't expect such a magical thing to happen to me. Yi Jie has recovered from the surprise.
Thanks to her years of reading online articles, she quickly adapted to her new life. Since she was given this opportunity, she must overcome all the sufferings in this life and at least live a wonderful life. "All the bad things are in the past," she told herself.
Yi Jie recalled her past memories. She lived in the school dormitory during the first semester of her freshman year. Her mother worked in a hotel in the provincial capital, City C, and her younger brother lived with her aunt in the county town. In the second half of the year, the hotel laid off employees and her mother returned to the county town. She rented a small two-bedroom apartment in the city and lived with her and her younger brother.
This year, teenage hormones played tricks on Yi Jie, who was ignorant and fearless, and she also learned to fall in love early. Her unstable academic performance after her father passed away in the third year of junior high school, made her academic performance in high school even worse, and she ended up in a junior college with a hasty outcome.
I remember my mother often lamented that it was easy for Yi Jie to get the top spot in her grade in junior high school, but how come she became like this later? Her tone was full of regret and annoyance.
Yes, why was I so ignorant at that time?
I knew clearly how hard it was for my mother to raise me and my brother alone after my father passed away, but I failed to do so. Children of poor families often grow up early, and one wrong step leads to many more.
She must not go the wrong way again! She should study hard first, raise her position as a stepping stone, and the rest will come slowly. Thinking about this, Yi Jie fell into a deep sleep, and it was the school doctor who woke her up.
After a good sleep in the air-conditioned room, Yi Jie felt refreshed. The clock on the wall pointed to five o'clock. Everyone should have returned to the dormitory. They would start evening self-study at 6:30 in the evening.
That's right, even though classes haven't started yet, the key classes have already required students to attend evening self-study classes every day. Textbooks and supplementary exercise books have been distributed, and teachers will take turns supervising their self-study at night. Sigh, this familiar and painful high school life.
I followed my memory to find my dormitory, and when I opened the door, I saw my familiar roommates from high school sitting together and chatting. Yang Wenjun was facing the door, standing among several girls, and she was speaking passionately.
When they saw Yi Jie come in, their eyes lit up and said, "Yi Jie, you're back!" Everyone looked towards the door when they heard her words.
Roommate Ge Ning asked with concern: "Are you feeling better?" Yi Jie nodded in response, and everyone felt relieved, as long as she was okay.
Wu Chuhan complained, "Yi Jie, it's a good thing you didn't come this afternoon. We were almost scolded to death. That perverted instructor made us stand at attention for another half an hour, and even made us practice marching on the spot for an extra hour. I'm really impressed!"
When Yi Jie saw these vivid faces, her eyes felt a little sore.
After high school, she chose the arts, while they both continued to study science, and gradually they drifted apart. We didn't keep in touch much after graduating from high school, and now it feels like meeting an old friend who I haven't seen for a long time.
She grinned and said, "Luckily I escaped heat stroke today."
Yang Wenjun pulled her over and said, "Haha, even though we scolded you badly, you missed an explosion."
Yi Jie looked at her in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Yang Wenjun winked and said, "Today, Yuan Jingyu was made to cry by Liu Zhijie. The instructor punished Liu Zhijie by making him do frog jumps around the playground three times. Guess what he did?"
Yi Jie pursed her lips and smiled. So this was the matter. Of course she knew about it, but this time she just shook her head in cooperation.
Wu Chuhan broke the news first: "When they were marching in place today, Liu Zhijie kept deliberately stepping on the monitor's shoelaces, forcing the monitor to squat down to tie his shoelaces. The instructor criticized her by name, and then she started crying and reported Liu Zhijie to the instructor, so Liu Zhijie was punished."
Yang Wenjun said angrily, "Okay, you stole my lines! But you didn't notice that Liu Zhijie was grinning at Yuan Jingyu while doing frog jumps, right? I suspect he likes Yuan Jingyu and is deliberately trying to get her attention, hehe."
Everyone agreed with this view.
They will be together in the future. The parents were also invited to the event. Yi Jie had a lot of secrets in her mind but couldn't say them out loud. She felt very uncomfortable.
