Shengsheng

It was announced that Xiao Lin Tong was going to marry his girlfriend Cheng Yu in his hometown, and he was the only best man he could think of - this sudden news was really not a small test for Liang Sheng.

Because it was the first time in my life that I was asked to be the best man.

Although there is no specific time limit for this matter like the groom, on the one hand, it is definitely impossible for him to say no, but on the other hand, Liang Sheng is not quite sure how he should do this matter well.

Regarding this, Lin Tong, who is the groom's official, showed a lot of heart. He smiled happily on the phone and said that as long as he agrees, everything will be easy to talk about. When the time comes, he will return to his hometown on time a week in advance, and let him do everything else. Just be a buddy and get it done.

After hearing him put down such a sentence, Liang Sheng naturally couldn't say anything else.

I could only accept the invitation from my hometown to be the best man for a friend this time, and while continuing to work in the capital, I immediately booked a train ticket online to go home next month.

This is another time since his sophomore year, he suddenly decided to go back to his hometown when he was not busy on holidays.

About the small city called Y City, and all the old and simple scenes of the old factory dormitory, it seems to be still vivid in memory.

The grey-haired Grandma Lin, the homeroom teacher Wan whom I haven't seen for many years, and the make-up classes with Mr. Peng every Saturday and Sunday, all these people and things have run through his teenage years.

Although he has just started to work hard in a big city now, and it will be difficult for him to have time to go back after graduating from a postgraduate doctor in the future, all this has always been a part of his life.

For the next month or so, Liang Sheng was busy moving places and continuing to obtain the company's license in Beijing. It was another busy day.

The two entrepreneurial partners from Peking University have rushed home for the summer vacation before the time for graduate students to report. Right now, Liang Sheng is the only one staying in the capital and taking time to deal with some daily company affairs.

During this period, apart from quickly finalizing the start-up capital and technical direction, the most important thing is that Liang Shengde first finalized the company's official name.

In this regard, the other two main partners have seriously discussed and said that this right should be handed over to him.

One is because Liang Sheng has always put the most effort into this initial entrepreneurial direction, and the other is because this time technological innovation has a greater professional commemorative significance for Liang Sheng, and they don't want to take it away casually.

And about the name of this young startup that is currently taking its first steps towards spreading its wings in the future.

It was also difficult for Liang Sheng to make hasty decisions, so he didn't think about it in time before returning to his hometown, and was delayed by some other work matters.

【Zhang Sida】:

"Everyone, actually, I think the name of the first registered start-up company should be based on its own patented technology number. Why bother?"

[Cheng Peng]:

"So many have no commemorative meaning, and they don't show academic value. Blizzard knows how to open the server every now and then to get a special place name or name to express the player's feelings. Well... I think it's better to use the name of a well-known scientist to express it. Respect for the predecessors?"

【Zhang Sida】:

"You're not that good. It sounds so vulgar. Hey, if you want me to talk about this matter, let Liang Sheng do it himself. People must have more ideas than us. Liang Sheng, take your time to think about it, don't worry, don't listen. Cheng Peng and me, this is the most commemorative thing left to you in terms of patented technology, you can’t be hasty with yourself, when the time comes, you will make a decision, just call me from your hometown and make an appointment directly.”

This was mentioned one night when the four of them were talking about business in a group online.

A few engineering men who were not born with romantic cells in their bones chattered for half an hour without any result. Liang Sheng himself hadn't come to a conclusion at the time, so he typed a few words on the computer here and replied, and the matter was put on hold for now. down.

And his partner, Cheng Peng, is also an in-depth game player like his senior brother Wang. While chatting with them online, the video is accompanied by the loud loudspeaker and keyboard tapping of the Warcraft Guild.

The communication video device used by several of them on their mobile phones and computers is the special engine that they will discuss cooperation with next. This technology is still being continuously tested by the two of Peking University, but look at the one after another before. The response is still good.

——['Communication in the 21st century is for the purpose of one day being thousands of miles apart, and when people think of you in the dead of night, they can immediately look at you. "]

This is the core content of research and development that Liang Sheng personally advocates for his own digital engine technology. The other two think it is very creative, and it is what people need most in their hearts.

The inherent market value contained in it is that the current 3G to 4G era is transitioning, and the video call function that comes with mobile phones has not been popularized so far due to the disadvantage of not being circulated due to traffic charges.

They deliberately said that they want other software companies to see this, and then replace this engine technology with the original second-generation chat software, so that once it is realized, no matter how far apart relatives and friends are in the future, it can be said to be realized at any time. meet each other.

As for the other person who also agreed a long time ago that he will go back to his hometown next month.

Liang Sheng only knew that the other party planned to fly directly from Yanji to Canada this time. On the one hand, he planned to visit the Jin Ping family whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and on the other hand, he wanted to go back to China with them to attend the wedding.

During this process, Liang Feilong's boss, who arrived in Canada ahead of schedule, even sent him a video of having dinner at his Canadian home thousands of miles away.

This video seems to be temporarily recorded by a man with a mobile phone.

In the lens with good clarity, it can be vaguely seen that on the dining table are stewed soybeans with pig’s feet, fried Chaozhou celery, and a platter of stewed meat. These Chinese dishes are very home-style. It seems that the hospitality I enjoyed in Canada this time was very good.

But the scene changed a bit, and several people who had already had dinner were sitting in the small living room of the house at that time, and there was a boy in the middle who was playing an English song with a guitar.

Liang Sheng recognized that this was the youngest son of Jin Ping and his wife, Cao Chengbao. He is now 15 years old and is studying in a local bilingual high school. Their daughter Cao Chengting, 22 years old, is also engaged to a local young Chinese this year.

The appearance, dress and conversation of Jin Ping and his wife must be different from those in the past. What remains unchanged over the years may be the long-term relationship between the two families.

"Oh! Oh! Long time no see... Come and say hello to Brother Shengsheng too..."

Seeing the boy's family clapping and booing after the performance, the man who didn't show his face from the beginning to the end laughed with his mobile phone.

"Next time, we can come together if we have a chance. The weather here in Canada is not bad. Cheng Tingxiao and Bao said that they really want to see Brother Shengsheng again."

This small video with not too high resolution, Liang Sheng inexplicably saved it in his mobile phone and watched it several times later, not because of any other reasons, but because of the mature voice that is very masculine and charming in the last short segment .

It's just that many practical problems that are drifting away from this at the moment always make people fall into the heat of youth, and they are just one step away from breaking through the emotional brain and chest without any scruples, and then become sober.

A lot of things have never been as simple and easy as imagined. He should think of a way to be more clear and firm in his heart, and strengthen his heart that is boundless towards the future.

"Well, let's go together next time."

Liang Sheng replied.

He is equally confident.

……

On August 2013, 8, Liang Sheng set off from Beijing alone with a little luggage and returned to his hometown in Y City.

When he traveled to Beijing by train for the first time, it happened to be the year he was in middle school.

At that time, the Capital South Railway Station, as a young man from other places, was far from being as large-scale as it is today. As a result, SARS came a year later, and stations across the country also faced comprehensive public environment rectification.

At that time, there was no regular taxi stand under the platform building, and there were black cars running everywhere outside, and there were also foreigners sitting on the ground everywhere in the station. There were very few normal places where people could sit down and drink a cup of tea for a while.

Now that times have changed, with the development of railway transportation to all parts of the country, it has become relatively convenient for ordinary people to return home, and to shuttle among the crowds, they have to book a ticket and board the train.

Starting from the capital all the way, after passing through Tongzhou and Tianjin, Liang Sheng, who had been working on a laptop on the train for a while, arrived at his hometown smoothly during the whole day.

He thought that no matter what he said, he had to take a taxi back to his former home before he could formally meet with Lin Tong's family.

As a result, he just left the train station with his computer and luggage. The boy called him very impatiently, and told him that he had already brought the car over, and told him to get off immediately when he arrived at the station.

When Liang Sheng got out of the station alone, as expected, a nice black family car with a new look stopped in front of him.

Feeling a little uncertain, he stepped forward and knocked on the car window when he saw the situation. When the people in the car heard the movement, they quickly pulled down the front glass, and then a big version of Lin Tong's face appeared. It appeared in front of his eyes with such a smile.

"Hey! Hey! Speaking of you, you are still standing there stupidly. You can't get up. Hurry up and go home for dinner. A table of people will cook good food and wait for you to go home. Oh, yes, let me introduce you, the stupid man next to you Girl, you still don't recognize her, this is the prospective daughter-in-law that your buddy successfully abducted..."

This bluffing tone sounds exactly the same as when I was a child.

When Lin Tong said this, Liang Sheng saw that besides him, there was a young girl with long hair next to him in the passenger seat next to him.

At first glance, the girl was dressed in a pretty red body, her round face looked very lucky, and her big eyes, which were basically the same as when she was a child, were also full of cuteness and agility.

And the opening of her mouth was damaged by her own mouth, and the girl also slapped her boyfriend's arm a little angrily, and then smiled friendly and generously and waved to Liang Sheng outside the window.

"Liang Sheng, long time no see. My mother, grandma and uncle are at home today. I heard that everyone is very happy when you come home. Hurry up and get in the car and ignore this man. Let's go back and eat together..."

"Well, long time no see, congratulations."

Seeing this, Liang Sheng naturally took the initiative to say hello to the other party first, but as soon as he finished speaking, a guy next to him interrupted.

"Okay, okay, don't be so polite here anymore, you two had quarreled at school before, who took my meal ticket and ran into the cafeteria during the final exam of the second year of junior high school and said angrily, you boys They are all too bad, you are the worst, and your brother Liang Sheng is all the same..."

"Hey! Lin Xiaoer, this is in front of Liang Sheng, please shut up quickly!"

This young couple who didn't give each other face, and kept hurting each other in front of him, an outsider, didn't look like people who were about to get married.

But it can be seen with the naked eye that the full love and fondness expressed in the eyes and limbs of the two cannot be deceived.

And since they went to college, they have indeed seen each other for almost four or five years.

Right now, when these three old classmates who grew up behind the No. [-] factory met each other, Liang Sheng didn't feel particularly special. go home.

On the way, Liang Sheng noticed the new look of City Y outside the car window.

Lin Tong and Cheng Yu seemed to be very enthusiastic towards people. They were chatting with each other, and the atmosphere was always good. Because they would have a wedding in half a month, so they were the ones who came over to greet each other in front of them. I came in the afternoon to try on the wedding dress.

Previously, the old people at home were mainly busy picking out electrical appliances, looking at furniture, looking for restaurants with relatively suitable dishes and making a list of drinks, and the two young ones were picking out wedding dresses, inviting relatives and classmates from all over the world Friends also bought some pre-wedding items.

Picking a table and chairs for the family, as well as a long life lock for the children and grandchildren in the future are all exquisite.

Not to mention other customs that are related to major life events, so while sitting in the driver's seat and skillfully turning the steering wheel, Lin Tong also sent a novel to himself about his experiences and experiences about the groom-to-be during this period.

But having said that, the condition of Lin Tong's family has already improved in the past two years.

His father started to set up a factory four or five years ago to cooperate with the government's policy and help nearby disabled families reduce their family burdens. Grandma Lin is in good health, and her bones seem to be quite strong.

This marriage may cause quite a bit of controversy in the families of other couples who are planning to get married.

Because no matter how the situation of Grandma Lin and Papa Lin changes, it is really not something that ordinary girls can accept rashly.

But on the one hand, the two of them believed in the relationship between the two children because Teacher Wan watched them grow up together; and family plans.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this may be something that requires a certain amount of psychological preparation.

But obviously, the pretty girl on the co-pilot who smiled and said everything didn't seem to be the case.

On the contrary, her heart softly and silently accepts all of the family factors of the boy around her, and even when she is about to get married at this moment, she mentions it in a very warm tone between the lines.

"My mother told me before that she didn't want me to suffer after I got married, so she never let me do housework at home, but now, seeing that I don't know anything, she is a little anxious again. She has been at home for the past two days. I was teaching how to make dumplings, but my grandma didn’t allow me to do it, saying she was afraid that I would get my hands on them. In fact, I still want to say that I will live together in the future and help my uncle and grandma to share some of the burden. Personal life, but since we have decided to be with someone, then we will work together for each other..."

"..."

"I heard that you are going to stay in Beijing to continue your studies. In fact, I will continue to take the public exam at the end of this year after I get married. My mother told me not to take the exam when I got married, but Lin Tong supports me. , He also said that no matter what, as long as I like to let me continue to take the test, he supports me, so I am going to muster up the courage to work hard and try again."

"..."

"Oh, by the way, and last night, when she was making a bed for us for our wedding, she was still muttering at home that she was going home in a low voice, and those children who used to watch them grow up would come back to see her She is happy, so everyone really welcomes you home, Liang Sheng..."

What the girl said made Liang Sheng listen silently for a while.

He feels that Cheng Yu has changed a lot in recent years, not that he has grown up like a mature woman in appearance and body, but that he has completely transformed in thought, no longer a little girl, but has everything a girl in the new era should have. Confident, beautiful and very independent.

There are also many girls in his class on the Tsinghua campus who really have their own thoughts.

Because they have received the best college education in this era, ordinary Chinese women no longer stop at the old idea that they can do nothing when they get married in the last century, but with the changes of the times, they become more It has strengthened the confidence to work hard in society and strive to realize value.

Because of this, when Liang Sheng, who has always been quiet, heard that the other party was going to continue taking the national exam, he didn't say anything else. Instead, he offered some advice from his own point of view, which is rare, and then searched for a business card on his body. come out.

"The public examination is a good thing. It's never too late to continue to study. This is my classmate in college. She is the same age as you. She was the first in the national examination in our school back then. Now she works in the online education of Cheng'an National Examination. , this is one of the most professional organizations in the country, you can refer to her and ask her about her experience at the beginning, just report my name."

"Hey, this, what a shame, Liang Sheng, thank you... Lin Tong, why are you still standing there, thank you for helping me too..."

"Yes, yes, Shengsheng, this is a bit embarrassing..."

Lin Tong, who didn't expect him to help suddenly, also said in surprise.

"It's nothing, we all know each other, so you can contact me first and try."

The young man with a very good demeanor and a sense of gentleness and poise that is unique to highly educated people nodded in a calm tone and answered like this.

And because he had to go to the early childhood education center where he practiced in the afternoon, Cheng Yu, who had asked for leave this morning, didn't go home with the two of them, but got off the car and went back to work.

Before leaving, Lin Tong sent his daughter-in-law to the side of the road, and watched her worryingly carry her bag and went down to buy a cup of pearl milk tea.

The two chatted intimately by the side of the road, turned their heads and ran back happily, and then Lin Tong, who was driving to pick up the little boy and go home, couldn't hide his smile when he saw the sound of Liang staring at him in the back seat.

"Okay, now it's just the two of us. Hey, you are free after dinner and a glass of wine with me this afternoon, right, dear best man?"

"Well, where are you going next?"

"Of course...accompany me these two days to buy bride price, firecrackers, fruit, table and bedding, and your suit. I've already ordered it for you. You can try it first when you go back. Guaranteed to be handsome, when the time comes, the whole audience will praise you as the best man alone, haha, we male compatriots have to worry about these things, we can’t let the wife be tired, my wife is so beautiful, of course she has to be beautiful and decent Marry me haha, brother, I only count on you to come back and help me give advice!"

As soon as these words come out, no good brother in this world will be able to refuse.

A good friend of more than ten years, they are about to join hands to bless him on the road to marriage and marry the girl he loves the most in this world, Liang Sheng will help him to the end no matter what.

So in the next few days, Liang Sheng, who hadn't returned to his hometown for a long time, except occasionally met some former classmates and neighbors at Lin's house, drove his car with Lin Tong, and ran around the city for the upcoming wedding banquet. up.

Furniture city, building materials city, and large and small electrical appliances city.

In these few places in the city alone, the two of them have traveled four or five times. Grandma Lin wants to say that the young couple will have to go to work in the future, and she will pay for a fully automatic washing machine for them to put in their new house. , so that Yuyu would not have to worry about washing clothes when she married into their house.

Teacher Wan wants to buy more practical things for the next generation in the future, such as computers and air conditioners in the study.

In the past two years, the prices of domestic and imported electrical appliances have also dropped significantly. Lin Tong and Liang Sheng walked around for a week for the wedding, and put it in their pockets for the married couple. Just spend it.

The [-] to [-] yuan is definitely not enough to buy a bride price for the newcomers in a big city, but because Y City is not big and the consumption level is not high, so it is full of places and packed two or three cars to go home.

As for the day when he went to shop for noodles and bedding, Liang Sheng also drove there that day.

As a result, seeing Lin Tong, after buying normal furniture items, he also picked up bright red underwear under the recommendation of the shopping guide, and smiled mischievously to himself, who is still single. Fa Xiao seriously popularized science.

"Brother, don't you understand this? There is no one who doesn't wear bright red when you get married. It's not ashamed to wear it inside. The couple still have their own fun at night, but I strongly suggest that you prepare a set for yourself now, just in case. One day in the future, you will have to thank me..."

"..."

This is a topic between male brothers, so we are still relatively pure and conservative in our thinking. Liang Sheng, who even stopped at holding hands in his last relationship, suddenly fell silent.

Just after saying this, Lin Tong's friend who helped rent the wedding venue called him and he went away, so he was left alone standing in front of the deep-profile male and female plastic models. The young man thought for a long time, He also stepped forward and said a few words to the shopping guide.

"Sir, do you want to buy two sets like that gentleman?"

"Well, are there two men's sizes, one is 1.8 meters three and the other is 1.7 meters nine?"

Liang Sheng asked.

"Two, the size of two men? Are you going to give it away?"

"Well, if you have any, please wrap it for me alone."

Regarding this matter, Lin Tong didn't know about it until he returned from the phone call.

I don't know what to think, in short, Liang Sheng bought something used by other people's married couple by accident, and then he didn't show anything on the way back. Let's go next time.

And when they took a call from Lin Tong's friend and drove to the market to rent a loudspeaker for the wedding that day, the two of them ran into an additional matter of opinion.

It turned out that when they were looking for someone in the market, a boy suddenly stole Liang Sheng's wallet, because it contained other things he had just bought, so he and Lin Tong immediately caught up with him and caught him.

The boy burst into tears when he saw this, and hurriedly returned the bag to them, and the people next to him also surrounded him to help, but the boy was stunned and refused to return him the graduate student card that had been pulled out and belonged to Liang Sheng.

"I don't want money... I don't want money...I want this...I want this...I want this from the beginning, I won't give you this back...I want this..."

Hearing what he said, Liang Sheng realized that what the boy wanted desperately was the word Tsinghua University on the student ID card.

This scene made Liang Sheng silent, which reminded him of his former self for some reason, but it had nothing to do with it. Stealing is always the worst behavior.

So after thinking about it, he first sent the child to the education center opened by Teacher Peng. Before leaving, he put the postgraduate certificate in his schoolbag and exercise book and gave it to the child.

On the way back, Lin Tong asked him why he did this. Liang Sheng thought for a while before saying that the child reminded him of the blind beggar he and his brother saw on the train when he was a child.

No one is a good person with a perfect personality without flaws, but everyone has troubles, and he can help if he can, even if it is just a passer-by who has never met before, this is the life of ordinary people.
