I met you back in 2000

After handing in the forms for arts and sciences, there was a grade-level parent meeting. Parents of nearly a thousand students would attend, but the school gate was completely blocked.But even so, there was still a BMW sports car that drove in unimpeded from the school gate and parked right below us.

And the person who got out of the car, I am afraid I am all too familiar.

Shen Yigang drove the car to the big square in front of the main teaching building, and the people in our class were already talking at the windows.The square is the facade of the school, and the principal usually dare not drive the car in, so it can be seen that the people in the car must have a lot of background.

Of course, more people are discussing his car. Although my knowledge of cars is only limited to a few big brands, I am sure that the car Shen Yi drives today is already his most low-key one.

I don’t know if it’s because he’s been abroad for a long time. Shen Yi, who is still studying, seems to have matured a lot. This maturity is not reflected in his dressing style or appearance, because when I first met him, he was in these places. On the other hand, he has performed very well like a veteran in love.

Shen Yi's maturity is reflected in his attitude towards me.From the time he passed the corridor until Shi Qiang called Brother Yi next to me, he didn't even look at me, not even a polite smile.

Such a strange Shen Yi made me feel inexplicably familiar.

In those years, he and I had always been in a secret lover relationship, so even if we happened to meet in public, we would just pretend not to know each other.

I remember one time I ran into him shopping with a woman in the mall. The woman was a well-known little star who had played several supporting roles and had a good reputation. She was naturally good looking and temperamental.

Shen Yi at that time was the same as now, when he saw me, he didn't make any unnecessary eye movements.But who would have guessed that I was the man who had sex under him last night.

This is the Shen Yi I know.

Today's parent-teacher meeting is held by my dad. It is said that it is winter, and the work at the coal plant should be busier, but recently he spends more and more time at home.Although my mother never said this on the phone, I know that the coal plant is not profitable, and my father is getting old. If the company wants to lay off employees, my father will probably be the first batch.

At that time, people were really poor and frightened, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe the tormented days as "smashing pots and selling iron".When my mother told me the news, my father was usually such a strong person, so he hid in the attic and smoked for a long time.Later, he didn't even come out to see me off when I went to school.

At the age of sixteen or seventeen, I was financially unable to be independent, and I was not considered a man. I was never a strong person, so I cried in front of so many strange passengers in the car.Su Ze was sitting next to me. I wet his sleeves from crying and he didn't say a word to comfort me.

Thinking about it now, I also look down on myself, but at that time, what else could I do besides study?Do you really go to the construction site to move bricks?So when my father passed away, I kept thinking, even if he leaves a year late, at least I can use the first salary I earned to buy him a Chinese cigarette.

My mother always complains to me that smoking is his life, and he will die if he doesn't smoke.If possible, I really want to use cigarettes to renew his life.

"Stinky boy!" My father yelled angrily and made me tremble, "Who signed the name on it."

The corridor was full of students, I was afraid that people would see me and see the joke, so I hurriedly dragged my father to the stairs.

I looked and Dad was referring to his own name on the subject sheet.

"I signed it."

Sure enough, I was immediately hit on the forehead by my father, and the pain caused me to scream, "Dad! This is school, not home, save me some face."

"Who asked you to sign it? The ancients said that if you are not good at math, you should choose liberal arts. Please change it for me."

Dad was illiterate and didn't know what to change, so he took a pen and asked me to change it myself.

"Don't change it. Su Ze chose science. You always let me learn from him."

The old man felt that he was in the wrong, and his tone eased, "Okay, okay, you don't need to learn this, let's change to liberal arts."

I definitely won't change the liberal arts, after all, I'm in the same class as Su Ze, so there's no reason to separate them.Even if my father wants to beat me stupid here today, I will definitely not follow.

"Actually, science majors have a greater advantage, and now many schools only recruit science students."

Even though I coaxed him like this, my father still refused to listen.He said that if I don't change it again, I will ask Gu San to change it for me.The two of us got into an argument as we talked.

Later, it was Papa Su, who probably came to see my dad for a meeting, but he saw me and my dad arguing fiercely in the corridor.Su Ze also followed behind his father, and when he saw my father, he called uncle hello.

Dad was very happy when he heard that, and he let go of the hand that was about to hit me.

"Ah Ze, your aunt cooked some chestnuts and covered them in Miaomiao's quilt. Go back to the dormitory and eat them." My father grabbed my ear, "Don't tell him to eat them all by himself."

After the father explained, he went to a meeting with Su's father first, and he said that he would settle the score with me when he came back.

Regardless of these, I asked Su Ze to go back to the dormitory to eat chestnuts.These chestnuts are very sweet when eaten raw, not to mention that my mother boiled them in sugar water.Most of us here are addicted to sugar, but Su Ze doesn't like sweet things very much, so my mother always cooks Su Ze without sugar.

It's also strange, on this cold day, the box was still warm when Dad was on the bus for an hour or two.This is probably the love of our parents for us. No matter how difficult the family is, they will never let their children starve and freeze.If only I had understood this truth ten years earlier.

Now that he has returned to the age when he was young and frivolous, it can be regarded as giving himself a chance to make up for it.

A serving of chestnuts in syrup can make me feel so much emotion. I am afraid that my mother has put some ecstasy drug in the soup, and my eyes are itchy, my nose is sore and my mouth is astringent.

Seeing that the chestnuts in my bowl were almost finished, Su Ze gave me some of his and asked, "What major do you want to choose in university?"

"English." I replied without thinking.

The movements in Su Ze's hands were obviously paused, and it took a long time before he said, "I'll choose liberal arts."

His voice was so low that I almost thought I had misheard.

"Eating chestnuts and shells? Your brain is broken?" I scolded him, "You choose a fart liberal arts."

I know he is for me, but those who make great things can't indulge in these children's personal affairs.Just like when everyone thought that Su Ze would become a genius mathematician famous in history, but he failed everyone including his father.No matter how much money a person has, he can only spend it for a lifetime, but those who create knowledge can be praised by future generations.

For whom Su Ze returned to China back then, I dare not guess, let alone hope, because he still married Yin Shutong after all.Maybe in this life he won't be what everyone wants, but at least he has to live for himself.I don't need him to change or give up anything for me.

"Su Ze, do you look down on me and think that if I choose science, I won't be admitted to Peking University?"

Su Ze complained about his strength, "You can't pass the exam even if you choose liberal arts."

At the beginning, I didn’t know who asked me to choose a random school in Tsinghua University like going to the vegetable market to pick cabbage. Now I finally know that I won’t pass the exam?

"I want you to go to Beijing with me." Su Ze said.

It's rare for me to see something like anticipation in Su Ze's eyes, but I can't promise him.Su Ze has his way to go, and why not me.All I can do is let two roads lead to one end.

I will not change the subject table. I know what I want and what I am doing.Compared with the meeting when I just came back three years ago, I may be more mature than my 30-year-old self.

On the father's side, I have already thought of a way to persuade him.In terms of learning, I am afraid that what I have listened to most since I was a child is the words of the Gu family, otherwise my college entrance examination volunteer dad would not let Gu Sen fill it out for me.

When asking for help, it is natural to yell nicely.

I made a report at the door, and greeted Gusen, teacher, with a playful smile.

Gu Sen was just chatting and laughing with the new female teacher next to him. When he heard me say hello teacher, his face immediately fell down.

"If you need something, I know how to call the teacher?" Gu Sen said, returning to his desk, and took out a new sub-subject form, "Your father said, if you don't change it, I will fill it out for you again."

As soon as I heard it, I became anxious, "You are a teacher anyway, you must respect the wishes of the students themselves, can I still have a little right to choose in life?"

"Okay," Gu Sen said suddenly, "Don't blame me for not reminding you, the path I chose has to be walked on my knees.

He threw the completed subject form in front of me. On the parents' signature column was the crooked name of the old man, and the form was filled with science.

I was naturally overjoyed, I couldn't close my mouth from laughing.Who said that Gu Sen is not made to be a teacher, I immediately arranged for him the most popular teacher award in this semester.

But Gu Sen's complexion didn't change at all, "Go back and tell Aze not to change to liberal arts, your legs will be broken."

Before I could react, Gu Sen scolded again, "You have been dragging Aze like this, he will be killed by you one day.

It's an exaggeration for Gu Sen to say this, but I know that his expectations of Su Ze have never been lower than those of Su's father, so I don't blame him.But what he said next was another thing I didn't know.

"A while ago, did you pour some soup on Aze again, telling him not to go to Beijing for the competition?"

At the beginning when SARS was so serious, I was worried about Su Ze, so I said this.But hearing Gu Sen's murderous tone, I felt guilty again.

"Su Ze himself is afraid of SARS. He was quarantined for a long time when he came back last time."

"Fart, it's been a few months and the epidemic has already been brought under control."

"Really?" I babbled, "Didn't there be suspected cases in Guangzhou a few days ago?"

"What's the difference between the north and the south, do you know what he missed?" Gu Sen said excitedly, and slammed the table,

"What he missed was the chance to be recommended to Peking University!"

I was stunned when I heard it, I've never heard Su Ze mention this.But having said that, the college entrance examination is just a formality for Su Ze.

"Is he still recommended? It's not like he can't pass the exam."

When Gu Sen heard my words, his eyes lit up, and he smiled wryly, "You two, where do you get your confidence from?"

It seems that Su Ze also said the same thing as me.
