Shengsheng

At the beginning of June, Tsinghua’s last graduation defense meeting finally arrived on time.

This year, not only all of them in the 08 class will bid farewell to the university campus and choose to enter the society or continue their studies, but also a group of young students who are about to take the college entrance examination from all over the country enter this dream school to start their own study.

Looking back on the days that everyone spent in Tsinghua University in the past four years, every plant, tree, flower and tree here is unforgettable.

So, in order to thank his alma mater for the cultivation in the past four years, several departments of the 08 class, and Zhuang Yao from the student union also donated a piece of money to donate a commemorative stone behind the former residence of Mr. Liang Sicheng.

Mr. Liang Sicheng and his wife Lin Huiyin lived behind the Xinlinyuan during their lifetime. They were outstanding representatives of Tsinghua people in that era. Even after many years, the dusty historical story is still mentioned repeatedly.

This stone with the school motto engraved on it was refurbished by a caring alumnus at his own expense during the school celebration in a certain year in the future.

But at this time, it actually bears the memory of all the 08 grades, bids farewell to this beautiful period of youth, and permanently replaces them in this campus that has accumulated a hundred years of vicissitudes.

In the days that followed, graduation photos were taken in the department, students had large and small dinners, and uploaded their final papers in the library.

It was only under the repeated urging of the dormitory manager downstairs that he began to empty the dormitory and pack his luggage. These things that everyone experienced in college have come one by one in Liang Sheng's life.

He greeted his upcoming new life in an orderly manner, just like all graduates of his age, there were times when he felt tired, but also when he felt very fulfilled.

Especially on the eve of the graduation ceremony, the boss Liang Feilong, who had not seen anyone for several months before, specially called to congratulate him this time.

Regarding his current whereabouts, it seems that he is still staying in a forest farm in Yanji at the moment.

After the incident at Hangzhou Port last time, he was found by several of his business partners and went there non-stop, and it was only these two days when he had time to contact Liang Sheng.

Because in the early years, he and his old friends from many years ago invested in a plantation here.

After the environment around the forest farm has gradually improved in the past two years, according to the regional environmental differences, in order not to waste the existing land resources, he plans to find someone to artificially raise some snow clams in it.

Snow clams have very high medicinal and edible value.

Only the cleanest spring water with a good ecosystem and no damage can support the artificial breeding in Yanji. It will be a good thing if it can develop locally in the future.

It's just that for this kind of thing, there are still some necessary field trips in the early stage, so this time when he went there, he was seriously busy with some new projects for the next year and the next year.

But the traffic at the forest farm is inconvenient, and it usually takes a day or two to go down the mountain when the weather is good.

There are only snowmobiles outside the hotel where his company chose to stay, so this time Boss Liang is also very unfortunate and unable to come back in time. The plan to invite a few of them to have a meal together in the dormitory also failed to materialize.

However, except for Zhuang Yao who plans to go back to his hometown because his parents are both in his hometown.The other two in their dormitory will stay in Beijing to continue working in the future, so there will be a long time to come, and Boss Liang will have many opportunities to see these good young people from the motherland who are righteous and interesting.

Regarding these, Liang Sheng did not express any opinions.

He has been busy moving the dormitory alone in the capital recently, and finding someone to get a license. Other than that, he can't let him be distracted too much.

And after waking up that night, Liang Sheng himself did not forget what happened and what he said the night before.

It's just because he clearly remembered every detail, so with his personality, he said that he didn't express or do something impulsively, but thought about something else by himself.

He really calmed down and thought a lot about things related to reason and emotion, personal future issues, and the responsibilities that an adult should take on.

After all, he also understands that as people grow older, people's ideas are always changing, and what they can see with their current eyes is very limited.

It's like a person likes a thing when he was a child, and even regarded it as a treasure.

At a certain stage in the future, if you see more other things, you may not cherish them so much. This feeling of liking once happened for real, but no one can guarantee whether you will always be strong-willed in the future, always as one.

But people are not things after all, it’s not that you say you like it today with certainty, and it’s still the same if you say you don’t like it tomorrow, and it won’t have any impact on others.

The prerequisite for choosing which step to take is first of all whether he has thought clearly, whether he really wants to abandon everything without hesitation for some things, resist the pressure of the outside world, and whether he wants to confess all his inner thoughts to that person.

Liang Sheng didn't plan to do other superfluous things before seriously considering whether he could bear the responsibility.

Because of this, he hides all his emotions, and manages them rationally and restrained very well, hardly revealing the slightest sign of truth.

The man, who was so good that he didn't notice any changes in how the young man on the other end treated him, only had a normal chat with him this time, and the two discussed on the phone about meeting again when they came back.

It's just that when he was about to hang up the phone, the man on the other side mentioned something to him alone, saying that next month, that is, at the end of August and the beginning of September, Jin Ping and his wife will return to China, so he should remember to book tickets in advance. Time to go back home with him.

Regarding this point, Liang Sheng really didn't expect it at first.

Because before that, Jin Ping and his wife hadn't been back to China for many years because of their two children's schooling problems, and now they came back suddenly. It seemed that they were going to stay in China for a while, which was indeed a bit sudden.

But regarding this matter, it seems that the man who just informed him by the way didn't explain much.

Just like the last time the two of them decided to go to Taizhou Airport last time, they kept smiling mysteriously at Liang Sheng, and left a sentence to him in a strange tone, you remember to book the ticket back home on time, and the phone has been on recently Just call the phone, just hang up the phone to him.

Why do I have to go back to my hometown on time next month, and remember to keep the phone turned on.

It became a suspense that was confusing to him at the moment, and Liang Sheng didn't know the reason for it for the time being, so this matter could only be put aside for now.

Finally, that most special day came as scheduled with brisk and free steps.

On July 2013, 7, the graduation ceremony and degree awarding ceremony was held in the auditorium of Tsinghua University for all undergraduate students of Grade 8.

The night before, Liang Sheng, who stayed alone in the dormitory and packed his luggage, received a text message that he hadn't seen for a long time.

At first, he thought it was his two business partners who had something to call him at night.

Because these two days, the few of them have been working on a digital software technical project together, planning to invest in some companies outside during the summer vacation, and for this reason, they worked overtime on the eve of graduation to catch up with a month's salary.

As a result, on this night, this strange number suddenly appeared.

Liang Sheng, who was originally busy, put down his work on the computer and looked down at his phone, only to find that it was a somewhat unfamiliar phone number.

Liang Sheng didn't even remember if he had saved this number before.

But when he picked up the phone and opened the strange text message again, after seeing the first sentence and the familiar childhood name, his expression froze immediately.

[130XXXXXXX]:

Hey, Shengsheng, how are you doing?Are people busy right now?

I want to chat with you these two days, but I don't know if you are free now. If you are free, just call me back when you find time.

[130XXXXXXX]:

Oh, by the way, haven’t you remembered who I am yet? Haha, I’m Lin Tong. Brother Dasheng told me your number. Remember to save a new number for me.

The word Lin Tong suddenly awakened Liang Sheng's deepest memory.

In the summer of No. 16 Pomegranate Lane in the factory worker’s alley in City Y, the dilapidated football field behind No. The memory that the class teacher left behind to wipe the blackboard came flooding back.

And if it's because the time has passed so long, Liang Sheng, who fell into memories at first, didn't react.

But then, he pushed the chair behind him in a messy, rare movement, and stood up from the dormitory where there was no one but a pile of suitcases and bags, and walked all the way to the corridor of the dormitory. After calming down, he dialed the number again.

"Beep-beep-"

At first, there was a busy tone for a second or two.

Liang Sheng stood alone outside, looking at the lights in the corridor, his eyes that were rarely filled with emotion also spread out in anticipation.

Just at this time, someone in the dormitory below was dragging suitcases in the middle of the night, so the whole corridor became a bit noisy because of this, so he walked a little more towards the stairs alone.

After a while, the other party who seemed to be waiting for him to go back also quickly connected the phone.

For a moment, the atmosphere between the two ends of the phone seemed a little strange.

The two childhood partners who hadn't had much contact with each other on and off for a few years since they entered college were silent for a while, and then, the other party kept as calm as possible, and couldn't control the tension slowly. He said,

"...Sound, is that you?"

This is actually a very simple sentence, which belongs to the question of greeting between good friends.

But after a long time, Lin Tong's voice sounded completely different from that of the carefree child in Liang Sheng's memory when he grew up. What remained completely was this unfamiliar yet familiar voice. strange feeling.

But they obviously grew up together, and they are each other's best and most inseparable friends in this world.

Although in the past four years of college, they had very little time to really contact each other alone, and to seriously find an opportunity to have a few words, but after a closer look, it was all because of many things that had been neglected during each other's growth. This delay.

Looking back now, in the first summer, Lin Tong, who chose to study in North China instead of coming to Beijing because he was too far away from home, would often find ways to talk to Liang Sheng on the Internet.

Although they are no longer in the same school, they still chat without scruples like before, trying to find ways to make appointments to hang out during the summer vacation, and even sent this year's stamps to the mailroom of the other school many times.

But gradually, because of their increasingly busy studies, personal life problems, and the increasingly busy university, they have less time to contact each other because of the interpersonal relationships that need to be dealt with every day.

Once or twice, and then gradually became many times.

Without anyone noticing it, the grown-up Liang Sheng and Lin Tong seem to be no longer each other's only and best friends.

One of them is studying mathematics, which he has always liked, in Beijing, and the other is studying medicine, which he still likes in North China. They are gradually getting on the right track of life, and they also have friends who can trust and accompany them.

It seems that it takes courage to try harder to recall each other's figure from memory, and take the initiative to contact and care about each other's recent situation.

Because no one knows, after such a long time, whether the other party must be free recently, and if I call rashly now, whether it is a kind of interruption.

If it wasn't for the text message he sent tonight, Liang Sheng might not have called back immediately when he found an opportunity.

"..."

But at this moment, Liang Sheng fell silent the moment he heard the voice from the opposite side.

His hand fell unconsciously on the escalator in front of him and he was silent for a while, then bent down a little bit after a while, and sat alone near the stairs of the university dormitory before answering with a weak voice and a hoarse frown.

"Ah."

"..."

"it's me."

This is me, he answered very flatly, and it took a lot of courage.

He has never been a person who is very dependent on others, nor has he said that he is absolutely inseparable from some people and people, but this friendship in his youth has always been very precious and cherished in his life. part.

And as if he noticed the same touch in his tone as his own, Lin Tong, who was obviously a little emotionally fluctuating, also took a deep breath, and it was a little difficult, but he could hear a very happy smile and said. ,

"...Hey, what are you doing? Why are you still as bored as before? Also, you didn't tell me when your old computer broke down, which made me send you messages on the Internet. You don't want to go back to me, if Brother Dasheng hadn't been taking time to go back to my hometown to see my grandma before Chinese New Year, I wouldn't even know your current situation..."

"..."

"Oh, by the way, it's so late, have you eaten in the dormitory? I heard that you handed in your paper successfully two days ago, congratulations, I wanted to call you earlier, but I have something to do during the day, hey , Graduation is really annoying these days..."

Lin Tong's words sounded like very ordinary trivial chats between friends.

But it was strange, when Liang Sheng heard it with his own ears, he still felt a kind of peace of mind and emotion that he hadn't felt in a long time.

And when he heard his grandma and another big brother in his ears as he did when he was a child, he didn't say he kept silent all the time, but sat on the empty stairs on both sides, the two of them They talked about each other's current situation like good friends.

During this period, most of the time it was Lin Tong who spoke.

But this Liang Sheng would seriously answer him about his recent situation, and it was through the following conversations between the two that Liang Sheng fully understood why he called tonight.

It turned out that on the 28th of next month, Lin Tong and his girlfriend who had been dating for almost three years were going to get married in Y city.

Before that, Lin Tong notified the older one first, and then sent a wedding invitation to the Jin Ping family, inviting them to come back to China to attend the wedding.

He originally wanted to say that he wanted to bypass Liang Sheng himself and ask if the other party was free to come and participate in the most important event in his life.

But I don't know why, this time, the other party who could pass the wedding invitation to him by the way chose to let Lin Tong come to him alone, and let the two of them ask anything by themselves.

Therefore, tonight's phone call came so suddenly after many years.

"Brother Dasheng seemed to be very busy at the time, but I heard that I wanted to find you, but I was too embarrassed to call you, and he stopped to talk to me for a long time. He told me that you have always been thinking about it. Us, but you have been like this since you were a child. It's not that you don't care, but you don't want to talk about it, so he said he hoped it would be possible, and he still wanted us to talk to each other, because it's useless to keep some things in our hearts, and we can only talk to each other face to face. It is possible to know..."

When Lin Tong said that it was the man who asked him to call to find him, Liang Sheng, who was still chatting with him, stopped suddenly.

Waiting for Lin Tong to yell in doubt, 'Sound?sound? During this time, I tried my best to restrain some inexplicable emotions in my heart, but at this moment, Liang Sheng, whose expression became a little struggling for some reason, replied lightly that I'm fine, and resumed the conversation between the two.

As for this, Lin Tong didn't notice any problem, so he continued to talk to him.

Because he and the bride-to-be both graduated from college this year, one studied medicine and the other went to a teacher's school.

Now that they have graduated, they have already found jobs in their hometowns, and they have met the parents of both parties before, so they decided to confirm the marriage as soon as they graduate this year.

Although these days, there are not too few men and women who choose to marry and start a family in their 20s.

But like Lin Tong, who decided to obtain a marriage certificate as soon as he left school, it really doesn't count, especially the girlfriend he mentioned who is about to become his wife is not a stranger to Liang Sheng, because The other party happened to be in the same class as their junior high school and high school, and the daughter of their junior high school head teacher.

And when I heard about this with my own ears, I felt a sense of unreality in my heart. People like Liang Sheng repeatedly questioned whether they had heard it wrong, and Lin Tong seemed to be quite frank. She answered him with a cheeky smile.

"Haha, it's Cheng Yu. If you remember correctly, she was the little monitor in the class next door, the girl with braids, the prettiest and fiercest girl, you must still remember it?"

"..."

"She and I were together for half a year when we were seniors. I chased after her. During the Chinese New Year last year, I went to our teacher Wan's house with my things and told everything. Now my son-in-law's inspection period is one year. Here, Cheng Yu has already met my dad and my grandma. We both know each other well and there is nothing to be afraid of. Half a year ago, I also found a job with my seniors and they fixed a new house in front of our house ahead of time. She graduated and decided the future between the two of us first, I think this time is just right, it is also a beginning for me and her."

"..."

"So, I specially called you today. Apart from telling you about the original wedding invitation, I also want to ask you seriously...Sheng Sheng, Liang Sheng, classmate Liang Sheng, are you free? Will you be the best man for the best brother in the world?"

The author has something to say:

In the middle of writing this chapter, I was actually a little emotional.

Maybe some girls will say, how is it possible, two people played so well when they were young, how could they gradually stop contacting each other because they went to college, in fact, sometimes the reality is like this.

It’s not that I really don’t want to contact each other, it’s just that as we grow up gradually, each of us has troubles that we can’t finish every day, and sometimes we don’t know how to pick up the phone to call each other when we are separated by such a long distance. .

Fortunately, the friendship between Lin Tong and Liang Sheng is firm, and it is rare for them to be able to rediscover the relationship between friends after such a long time. After all, friendship is only a simple greeting, and they know that they are the best. Whether your friends are okay or not is enough.
