all things

Regardless of the results of the final exam, the summer vacation is still on schedule.

Yu Jinle's life in the school this year has not been easy. To him, the school uniform with a white background and red stripes is nothing more than pretending to be arrogant in front of strangers who don't know the details. "People in the middle of the earth" are people who are confused with others, and then experience the ubiquitous pressure and incompatibility alone most of the time.

This is three years of discomfort in exchange for a temporary face, or how can I say it is self-knowledge?

Thinking that he is the only one who can see his inferiority complex, although he has always said that there is nothing wrong with him, but the most basic grade gap is clearly there, Yu Jinle thought, if he is the one with the best grades, He can also stand and talk like this and tell poor students that there is nothing wrong with you, and grades are not the standard for measuring everything.

His vision is still too narrow, and he has been shaped into a conservative character by "strike education" since he was a child, so that whenever he wants to muster up the courage to fight hard, he will stop on the spot. Give yourself a blow in the head in advance, tell yourself "you can't, you can't succeed" and then implement it with trepidation - this habit of lowering expectations in advance to reduce the sense of loss in the later period makes him lack the bravery that teenagers should have. His unhesitating attitude made his adolescence full of anxiety and anxiety, often vacillating between advancing and retreating.

And once people are dissatisfied with the status quo and unable to make any changes, they will naturally miss the past when they thought they were extremely happy.

The same is true for Yu Jinle. He couldn't find a sense of identity among his high school classmates, but he missed his life in junior high school and his old classmates and friends even more.

Needless to say, Wu Zefei and Zhuang Erdong have been friends since primary school. Although they have been too busy with their studies since high school, they have been playing together since they were young. You can go to the market to buy any vegetable. After a long time, you will default to Yu’s shop as your base. In your spare time, you will come to drink tea and chat. It belongs to the kind of junior who does not meet on weekdays The familiarity of hearing each other's news from my own mother.

During the summer vacation, I was suddenly free from schoolwork, and the time was not as tight as the winter vacation, and I had to take out a lot of relatives who were born and acquainted. The time seemed to be squeezed out of thin air, and I dangled around every day. .

According to the habit I just developed in the first year of high school, I thought it should be the kind that pops up from time to time to brush up my sense of achievement, but now it is said that I am restrained by family affairs and can't come out, so I go back to school to get my grades Afterwards, when they said goodbye and went home, they kept on humming, blindly explaining that Yu Jinle had to turn on the computer on time every night to go online and chat with him.Yu Jinle was very annoyed at the beginning. Although he wanted to give him a few Internet cards, but if he was online for two or three hours a day, he could use up one Internet card with a face value of 50 in less than three days. The pocket money is only [-] yuan, even if it is all spent on the Internet card, it will not take a week. He is reluctant to waste such a method, so in order to save the limited number of Internet cards, he either postpones the connection or goes offline early. I was so depressed thinking about it.

To be honest, Yu Jinle is also depressed. He is a typical person who dislikes integrity and is used to being noisy. Now that his ears are suddenly clear, it seems that something is missing. He has been holding back at home for a few days. It just so happened that Wu Zefei and the others made an appointment to go out for a walk, so they agreed without hesitation.

In summer, the sun climbs early, at five or six o'clock in the morning, the sky is already bright, the three of them met at the three-way intersection, and each rode their bicycles roaring away.

There is no specific place that I want to go, so I followed my childhood memory and walked along the main road to the old city.

The development of this city is slow. Although it has the title of "Special Zone", it is far inferior to other cities with the same starting point. The fast pace of coming and going is very rare here, and the leisurely pace of life makes her called "the most suitable One of the Cities for the Elderly.

Different from the area where they live, the old town has been full of noisy battles since early in the morning: the flower market and bird market occupy one side of the square, and the flower farmers on the left are busy with the flow of people in the morning market. Knock the soil and move flowers; the hawkers in the bird market on the right recommend and introduce after the evaluation of the bird-loving uncles; the open space in the square at the back has vacated a space for the old people who practiced Tai Chi and Lajin, and there are few places not far away. A few morning stalls, sausage rolls, soy milk, fried dough sticks, kway noodles, etc. are all available. In the morning market where people come and go, there is steaming smoke and fire...

The so-called old city is the center of the city ten or twenty years ago. With the advancement of urbanization, people gradually moved to new houses in the new district.The new district boasts of a new order and new management, and has banned all kinds of stalls and hawkers for a long time. If you want to experience the heavy traffic in your childhood memory, you still have to go to the old district.

Wu Zefei, Zhuang Erdong, and Jinle have the same growth trajectory. They are all the ones who moved from the old district to the new district with their own development. Like most ordinary people in the city, the old district bears the burden of their growth. All kinds of memories, all the way through the streets and alleys are all familiar scenes in the world.

The old city is centered on the commercial point in the middle, and several main roads radiate to the surroundings, forming a radial road network pattern, interspersed with countless streets and alleys extending in all directions, and the buildings on both sides are left over from the 30s The western arcade design, the glass on the window is dazzling in the sun.

Due to the population relocation due to the eastward movement of the urban area, many buildings here have been vacated. The deserted walls are covered with green vines, and the purple morning glory is still slightly dewy. Taking advantage of the early morning The sunlight quietly opened the flower buds, and the kitten in the corner fluttered past butterflies, and was frightened away by the howling baby crying from inside the wall. A woman pushed open the wooden door and came out of the house. There was an ear-piercing "click" from the hinge...

On the side of the road, there are old masters pushing bicycles and yelling to sharpen scissors and mend broken pots. This kind of ancient business has long since disappeared in the new district, only survived in the old city where time has been pressed to pause.

They rode bicycles into this street, and soon they could get out of another street. They didn't need to deliberately recognize the way, and they walked around in this square inch of heaven and earth.

Yu Jinle wiped off his sweat, and his face was stained with a healthy blush after exercising. He tilted his head and looked at Wu Zefei, "I heard that the new gymnasium of the Tenth Middle School will be put into use?"

Wu Zefei's No. [-] middle school is the school where Yu Jinle Junior High School is located. It is another key city middle school with the same reputation as Yuzhong. However, in recent years, the enrollment rate has not been very impressive. Super, the location gets a bit awkward.

——But this doesn't affect Yu Jinle's closeness to it at all.

"It seems to be almost the same. After the construction is completed, swimming lessons will start. Didn't you open it early in the morning?" Wu Zefei said indifferently.

"Let's hold the second year of high school, but the course schedule is too tight, and I can't actually learn much." Yu Jinle smiled, "It doesn't make any difference whether you have swimming lessons or not. It's just about soaking in water. At most, it's just a lesson for everyone. An excuse to eat and drink in between."

Physical education classes are basically arranged in the next few classes. Recently, he spent a few days in the school chat room, and he also learned from many senior brothers and sisters that the teacher would ask them not to enter the water on an empty stomach before swimming classes.

"Actually, it's not interesting to teach this kind of class." Zhuang Erdong replied, "We are all very busy now. We are busy with classes and classes, and we have to help the school's bulletin board. We can't torture us a little less."

The Seventeenth Middle School he was in started the high school for the first time this year. If Yu Jinle hadn't chosen a school to go to the high school, he would have spent three years in this school.

On the registration day of the first year of high school, Yu Jinle followed Zhuang Erdong to report before his school choice was finalized. At that time, there was a list of students posted at the gate of the teaching building. In the seventh place in the whole class, Zhuang Erdong ranked eleventh.But the world is unpredictable, the day before the start of school, the number of places to choose a school suddenly came down, and the two parted ways, Yu Jinle went to Yuzhong, Zhuang Erdong stayed in the Seventeenth Middle School.

Good or bad grades are all relative terms. Even if Yu Jinle's entrance score and foundation are better than Zhuang Erdong's, he can only be at the bottom of the school and live a miserable life; Zhuang Erdong is different. Middle is the one with a good foundation, which is especially favored by teachers, and it can be described as prosperous.

It is the age that cares most about other people's opinions. This kind of teacher's special preference makes Zhuang Erdong look particularly high-spirited when he mentions school.

It would be a lie to say that she is not envious, Yu Jinle felt that she had never been looked at by the teacher in the school, and now she heard Zhuang Erdong's casual complaint, and couldn't help but secretly imagined that if she didn't choose a school to stay in The scene of the Seventeenth Middle School.

"What's for breakfast? Is rice roll okay?"

Wu Zefei took the lead and turned a corner ahead, and the other two followed, entering a small street that was not very spacious. The buildings on both sides seemed to be old houses of a certain age.

"At the end of the street is Lufu Primary School. I was hanging around there before I transferred to another school. It's not bad to have rice rolls."

The well-connected old neighborhoods are full of their childhood memories. They are like soldiers scattered on the checkerboard grid, gathering from all directions as soon as the whistle blows.They have similar backgrounds and experiences, and have also cultivated similar horizons and insights in this small town with limited geographical area. Their growth roads are long, and they may each take different forked paths in the future, but at this young age, It is undeniable that they are life travelers on the same starting line.With them, Yu Jinle will never feel the awkwardness and resistance like Zhang Hongkuan and his ilk.

Of course life is full of changes.

Zheng Manman also used to have a delicate relationship with Yu Jinle, but after only a few years abroad, her knowledge and vision are obviously different from his. Maybe it will overlap with his ordinary world again, and it will be completely different from then on.

And Fang Xiyuan, they were also the kind of people who couldn’t stop chattering once they started talking in junior high school, even after the first year of high school, they would chatter in the corridor from time to time after class, but now?Each of them has a small circle that does not intersect with each other, and gradually drifts away...

Summer insects cannot speak of ice, and well frogs cannot speak of sea.

People with different levels of knowledge will always be separated.

Faced with this kind of change, Yu Jinle went from being sleepy at the beginning to being helpless now.

He doesn't know how many "Zheng Manman" and "Fang Xiyuan" he will meet in his life in the future. Now that he and Wu Zefei and Zhuang Erdong are called brothers and sisters, he just doesn't know if they will go their separate ways one day.

Life is so long, some people just walk away, and then they fall apart.
