Squad leader

On the day when the results of the college entrance examination were released, Wang Ruiqin took a special leave of absence to watch the results with Jiang Tian at home, and started pacing back and forth in the living room from the morning.

Unfortunately, the moment the results were announced, the system server crashed, and it was impossible to log in.

Jiang Tian nervously clenched his fists to check whether the entered test number was correct. Looking at the progress bar that was full of rotation, he clicked to refresh again and again, and even his own breathing rhythm was messed up.

Seeing that the barcode loaded on the webpage finally came to an end, Jiang Tian and Wang Ruiqin huddled together in front of the computer screen, not even daring to breathe.

The web page remained blank for a while, and finally a small box popped up, occupying less than a quarter of the entire screen, but it could determine a person's life.

Jiang Tian was stunned for a while looking at his grades, and then his head exploded, as if he suddenly found his breath.

Wang Ruiqin looked at the scores and rankings, and they knew little about Jiang Tian's study, "What... what does this mean?"

Jiang Tian grabbed Wang Ruiqin's shoulder and shouted excitedly, "Mom, I can go to P University!"

"Really, really?" Wang Ruiqin was a little unresponsive.

Jiang Tian cried with joy, "Mom, it's ok, you believe me, it's really ok, I didn't let you down."

Wang Ruiqin covered her mouth tremblingly. After so many years of hard work, she got the richest reward. She wiped away her tears indiscriminately, "I'll call your grandma and aunt to make them happy!"

Jiang Tian nodded, looking at the grade form on the screen in a daze, those few numbers were enough for him to remember for a lifetime.

He moved the mouse and clicked the back button lightly, and then entered Ding Yang's test number in the test number column of the results query.

The progress bar was still slow, but it was a little smoother than before.

Jiang Tian stared at the screen motionless, watching the progress bar fill up little by little.

Next to the computer is the bouquet of brilliant sunflowers.

The moment the progress bar was filled, Jiang Tian suddenly closed his eyes. He took a deep breath and prayed, he must, Ding Yang must pass the exam!

Jiang Tian felt his heart was about to jump out, he took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and opened his eyes.

OK!Ding Yang can do it!

Jiang Tian has memorized almost all the admission scores of T University in the past five years, and Ding Yang's grades can go to the university in his heart!

For a whole year, he watched Ding Yang gradually change from an ignorant scumbag to a patient and steady person, from a disobedient ruffian to a responsible man.

That part of the road was very difficult to walk, but luckily both of them made it through.

Unfortunately, we won't be able to go together in the future.

Jiang Tian listened to Wang Ruiqin excitedly calling his relatives outside the bedroom to announce the good news, with tears in his eyes and an ugly smile.

Isn't this what you want, why cry!

Jiang Tian hammered hard on his aching chest a few times, took out a box of newly bought ibuprofen from the drawer, swallowed two pills, swallowed tears, his whole throat hurt as if a knife had been cut through it.

"Don't cry, Jiang Tian, ​​you fucking don't cry!" Jiang Tian took a deep breath to relieve the oppressed pain in his chest.

Lao An's phone call interrupted this untimely sadness.

"Are you crying for joy?" Old An's eyes and brows were all smiling, and the grades his students got were the highest rewards for him.

Jiang Tian sniffed, "Teacher, I'm so happy!"

A hearty laugh came from Lao An's side, "Okay, there will be a small interview later, you prepare, the teacher from the admissions office will come to contact you specially, you wait at home and don't run around, hahahaha, My student has been admitted to P University!"

Congratulations from other teachers came from the other side of the phone, infected by Lao An's silly smile, Jiang Tian pulled away from the sense of unreality just now, and confirmed the reality little by little.

"Hey, tell me about you, you have suffered so much for three years, and the hardship is not in vain. The teacher is happy for you." Lao An suddenly began to cry, feeling very sad.

The two chatted with each other crying and laughing, then hung up the phone.

Jiang Tian sat on the edge of the bed holding his mobile phone, his whole body was beyond joy, and suddenly there was a kind of empty nothingness.He stared at the bouquet of sunflowers as if he had lost his soul, thinking about various pictures from his high school studies, half of which were Ding Yang's.

There was a strange atmosphere in the class. Someone was asking how everyone was doing in the exam. Most of the few who responded were good in the exam. The students who kept silent could naturally guess that their grades were not satisfactory.

Jiang Tian checked all the chat records but did not see Ding Yang's information.

Ding Yang has always been not very integrated with the class.

Suddenly, a classmate, Aite Jiangtian, asked the class monitor how he was doing in the exam.

Jiang Tian sent a screenshot of his grades, and the class exploded immediately!

"Fuck!"

"Awesome! I said that the class monitor must pass the exam!"

"Squad leader, we will hug your thighs from now on!"

"Gou rich and noble, don't forget each other!"

……

"Congratulations, your wish has come true."

The avatar with Ding Yang's name on it sent six words, each of which was like a knife piercing his heart.

"Grass, this medicine doesn't work at all!" Jiang Tian grabbed the ibuprofen and swallowed two more in pain.

For half a day, Jiang Tian's achievements spread almost in J City. His relatives and friends praised his achievements, and he became synonymous with other people's children. Everyone in the village pretended to present words of envy and comfort, I am gratified that Lao Jiang's hard work has paid off, and I also lament the lack of progress of my children.

Eighty-nine out of ten relatives he didn't know, and he had never met.

Jiang Tian sighed, Wang Ruiqin insisted on asking him to go to the supermarket to buy soy sauce, but there was still soy sauce at home.

Jiang Tian naturally knew what Wang Ruiqin was thinking, but he was a little uncomfortable facing all kinds of sudden attention on the road.

Jiang Tian was in an unreal state until the time of filling out the application form.

Is this the "success" that people have been looking forward to?

However, in a sense, he was not happy.

Everyone only saw the result, and no one saw his painful days and nights when he could not persist. The person who accompanied him through the lowest valley and passed the third year of high school did not stand by his side in the end, it was himself Drive people away with your own hands.

Lao An specially called to guide Jiang Tian to fill in the application form, communicated with various teachers, and Jiang Tian chose a related major in the field of economics that he had always wanted to learn.

Finally, he clicked on the volunteer confirmation, and a big stone in his heart fell to the ground.

The whole person lay on the bed exhausted.

His high school is completely over.

Now he is considered a college student.

At the age of 19, he is already an adult, but his thin shoulders cannot bear the future of the two of them.

Jiang Tian was a little sleepy, and was woken up by the vibration of the mobile phone after lying down for a while.

He didn't look at the caller ID, he answered the phone in a daze, "Hello?"

"Squad leader, it's me."

Needless to say who it was, Jiang Tian knew who it was just by hearing the voice.

Ding Yang asked softly, "Are you sleeping? Sorry to disturb you."

Jiang Tian was a little lost. Is this still the arrogant little overlord? The sudden politeness made him a little unaccustomed.

"What's the matter, you said."

"Today is the last day to fill out the volunteer application."

"Ok, I know."

Ding Yang took a breath, as if he had made some serious decision, "I did well in the exam."

Jiang Tian knew he couldn't hide his emotions, so he simply showed his cards, "I know, I checked your grades, congratulations."

"Squad leader, I won't give up, you wait for me."

"Ding Yang, don't..."

Before Jiang Tian finished speaking, Ding Yang hung up the phone. He knew what Jiang Tian was going to say, he just didn't want to hear it.

Don't insist, we have no results...

Jiang Tian shook his head while clutching the phone, and repeatedly confirmed the call records on the phone screen, only to be sure that the call just now was not a dream.

He smiled self-deprecatingly, Ding Yang was always so stubborn that it made people feel distressed.

How to persist?The relationship that no one accepts is disgusting and degrading.

The two of them can live a better life. An arrogant person like Ding Yang should not bear the malice from society.

It’s no big deal to forget things like feelings after a few years, isn’t that how it’s always shown on TV?Time heals everything.

Jiang Tian sorted out his emotions, got up and went to pack up the materials for part-time tutoring.

In half a month, from the time of checking the admission results to the mailing of the notification letter, everything has been arranged naturally in the schedule.

Ding Yang would still send Jiang Tian a message, nothing more than asking how his body was recovering, what he had eaten, remembering to bring an umbrella when it rained, etc. Jiang Tian's mood fluctuated from the beginning to gradually calm down.

The text messages from three a day to one a day were gradually indifferent, Jiang Tian thought sadly, maybe he would forget them after a long time.

A person like Ding Yang has a flamboyant personality like a little sun that can shine. He will meet more and better people, so there is no need to fall on himself.

However, the more I think about it, the more uncomfortable I feel, and I can't help but feel a headache.

That day, Wang Ruiqin took Jiang Tian to his grandma's house. Jiang Tian was not good at communicating with his elders. He had heard enough of the same words from the elders. Every time he was instilled with the usual value, he would sit silently and listen to them talking for many years. The hard work is not easy, and the parents in the village are short-sighted.

When he received Ding Yang's call, Jiang Tian was a little lost. This was the first time Ding Yang called him after filling out his application form.

Jiang Tian hesitated for a moment, but ran to the yard to pick it up.

"Hey?"

"Brother Tian, ​​it's me." Ding Yang's voice sounded a little weak.

Jiang Tian pretended to be alienated and said, "Well, what's the matter?"
