Time

When the summer vacation was coming to an end, Wang Jianguo bought a window-mounted air conditioner for his home, and it started up for a long time. Lying on the mat in the living room, the family of three held their breath, patiently and sensitively trying to feel where the cold wind was blowing.

"Hey?" Qiu Xiuzhen raised her arms, and shouted "I got it" several times like skipping frames. Wang Jianguo also kicked his legs, very excitedly echoing her "really, really" and sweating all over.

Wang Yutong, who was lying in the middle with a pillow on his water bag, was very anxious, why didn't I feel it?Trying to adjust the posture for a long time is not enough, so I simply stand up and blow on the air conditioner.

"How can you blow it like this, you child, come here, don't catch a cold!" Qiu Xiuzhen called her back, Wang Yutong was a little happy, although the air conditioner didn't give the wind as fast and cool as the fan, but after all it gave the cool wind!Unlike a fan, it is always hot.

In 2001, many big events happened to Wang Yutong.

First of all, my favorite Korean group disbanded without warning.

During the sprint period of the high school entrance examination, Wang Yutong was completely disconnected from the Internet and enrolled in many cram schools. Qiu Xiuzhen supervised the whole process whenever she had time, and even wrote letters to Qi Yin secretly in the toilet to find time to write.

Until she was admitted to a key high school, the Internet was reopened and she was promised to give her a monthly Internet fee of 100 yuan. Wang Yutong surfed the Internet with great interest, and immediately saw the news that her favorite Korean group had disbanded.

This incident was a bolt from the blue for her, she was so sad that she wanted to die, she cried bitterly while looking at the posters all over the room, the friendship between her brothers was shattered!The most precious belief in life was destroyed!Wang Yutong sobbed all night, took out all her collection of out-of-print posters and the blurred photos taken [-] meters away from the Beijing concert that she bought at a high price, and asked the sky and the earth and then asked herself.

Frightened, Qiu Xiuzhen and Wang Jianguo squatted outside her bedroom door for several hours, wondering whether they should knock on their adolescent daughter's door.

Afterwards, Wang Yutong tore up all their posters in the room, and met Ma Youran on the way carrying garbage bigger than her head and throwing it into the trash can.

At first glance, Ma Youran was standing alone and didn't know what was wrong. Wang Yutong threw away the poster and wanted to sneak over to scare her. When he got close, he realized something was wrong. It wasn't just her alone, there was actually a man. Hug together and chew each other.

Wang Yutong slipped on the soles of his feet and nearly fell out, and ran away blushing.

Hearing the movement, Ma Youran pushed her away and looked back to see her running with her heels attached to the back of her head, almost laughing out loud.

The disbandment incident and Ma Youran's messing around in the factory were stuffed to Wang Yutong together, and he swallowed them whole and set foot on the road back home.

Originally, she was counting on Qi Yin to help her digest it together, but who knew that the inability to digest it almost caused her a myocardial infarction.

After saving half his life and returning to Changping, he had no interest in doing anything. In the second half of July, Wang Yutong was a useless person. He got up all day, drank porridge and read comics, ate lunch and took a nap at noon, woke up in the afternoon and continued to read comics, and occasionally at night. I was taken out for a walk by my parents who came back from work. When I came back to watch TV at night and ate snacks and ice cream, it was time to go to bed.

I finished reading all the comics I could read in the previous week, and went to the bookstore to buy a bunch of world famous books in the next week, and came back to read, and gradually found that some books are quite interesting.

From "Notre Dame de Paris" to "The Confucian Scholars", she has heard these books from her classmates a long time ago. She has always liked to read comics, and she feels a little headache when she sees the densely packed text. The reading volume has been pulled out.

After reading a few Chinese translations, Wang Yutong went to pick some English books.

At that time, there were very few original English books in bookstores, and the most were bilingual readers.

She bought a set of condensed editions of world classics, each of which comes with a corresponding oral tape.

She took the bonus of the senior high school entrance examination with great effort to carry it home, and gnawed until the early morning for two consecutive days.

The parents naturally noticed her strangeness.

Qiu Xiuzhen pretended to bring something into her bedroom, and when she came out, she looked like she had seen a ghost.

Wang Jianguo kept asking what was going on, but Qiu Xiuzhen said, "You definitely can't think of it."

"Don't scare me, is something wrong?"

"She's actually studying."

"?" "Learning English and reading classics."

"??" Wang Jianguo was also terrified. He didn't expect that Qi Yin's dropping out of school to get married would have such a big impact on his daughter. It made her deeply understand how happy her life is, and she must seize the happy time to study hard. Live up to the ardent hope of parents.

At the end of the summer vacation, the air conditioner was installed in the home, and the Wang family officially entered a new era in which they would not be woken up by the heat at night—only sleeping in the living room.

In 2001, many major events occurred besides Wang Yutong, such as the success of Beijing's Olympic bid.

Wang Yutong remembered that on the night of July 7th, the whole of Beijing was celebrating with fireworks, and the TV screen was showing Samaranch announcing that the host city of the 13 Summer Olympics would be "Beijing", and even the factory was boiling.

Wang Yutong was dragged downstairs by his parents, watched the fireworks continuously explode into the sky, and had fun with the crowd.

Ma Youran flew up to hang on her with a stride, and bit her neck.

"Bah, salty."

Wang Yutong scolded: "Who told you to bite! After biting, you still dislike me?" "It's not happy."

"You have nothing to be happy about."

"I'm happy when everyone is happy."

Wang Yutong was going to talk about her, but Ma Youran said loudly to Wang Jianguo and Qiu Xiuzhen, "Good evening, uncles and aunts! Congratulations, we have successfully bid for the Olympic Games. How many years have we been looking forward to this? This is the pride of our Chinese descendants. Congratulations."

Wang Yutong really wanted to send Ma Youran to the sky and explode them into fireworks together.

Wang Jianguo likes Ma Youran very much, and thinks this kid is very cheerful and funny.

Wang Yutong felt that her father was too innocent. If he wanted to show him the scene of this cheerful girl kissing a man with tongue under the street lamp, he wondered how many pairs of glasses her father would break.

The news of the 9.11 terrorist attack was broadcast all over the world on a loop. Wang Yutong had just entered high school and this incident happened a few days ago. All the students around were talking about it. stand up.

She also saw the news with her parents and thought it was incredible.

It was also from this incident that Wang Yutong began to pay more attention to the international situation and learned about a new thing-terrorism.

After worrying about the international situation for a few days, Wang Yutong's mind was fully occupied by the new knowledge points in high school.

Divided by grades, Wang Yutong entered the first experimental class, which is the top class of the whole age, and is an important face of the school for the college entrance examination every year.

All the teachers explain the knowledge points very quickly, without delaying the progress, and the whole class can understand quickly by default.

If individual students have any questions, they can ask the teacher alone after class.

Who would ask this? Everyone knows that he didn’t understand, and it’s too late to be ridiculed, so the whole class tacitly doesn’t ask, even if there is something they don’t know, they will think about it after class, or ask the cram school teacher .

Wang Yutong's math is getting harder and harder, and he spends the most time on math homework after school.

The subject she is better at is English, and the English teacher praised her for her good pronunciation, and even named her as the representative of the English subject.

Speaking of which, once upon a time, the subject with the lowest ranking became the most proud one. Without Qi Yin's help, it is really uncertain what the current situation would be.

Originally thought that the busy new life would make her temporarily forget about Qi Yin, and she was indeed trying to do so.

No matter how far he rushed forward, he was beaten back to the original place with just one thought.

Tears dripped down on the examination paper under the desk lamp, spreading into patches of gray tear stains.

She still misses Qi Yin very much, very much.

She opened the curtains and looked outside. The city was full of bright lights and busy traffic. It was still a strange city.

She knew that she would always belong here, and that no one would knock on this window of her bedroom again.
