white trench coat

Three months later, I was assigned to a state-owned enterprise that was about to go bankrupt, and Zhu Beibei relied on the unique advantages of his family to successfully enter the government office.

Two years later, I just caught up with the wave of layoffs at the end of the 90s. Due to my inexperience and lack of strong background support, I naturally became the first batch of reform targets in the company.Seeing how I ended up studying for three years, the neighbors and neighbors would inevitably take the opportunity to ridicule me. My parents blamed me for not honoring them, so I could only swallow my anger and deal with it in silence.

During the Spring Festival, I accidentally received a letter from Ziyang. The white painting paper was dyed with an elegant ink lotus, and beside it was a line of delicate small characters: Mu Ye, the friend I miss the most.

I wrote back to him, fearing that he would worry about me again, so I didn't mention anything about my work, but there was no news after I left.

I did odd jobs with the contractor in the village for ten years. It wasn't until that year when the city publicly recruited civil servants that I passed all the way, stood out from hundreds of people, and was finally assigned to work in the County Civil Affairs Bureau.At this time, Zhu Beibei has already become the deputy director of the Civil Affairs Bureau and my immediate boss after years of polishing.

One day in June, I just got off work and passed by the door of the hotel. Suddenly I heard someone calling my name. I was so busy looking back that I was so excited that I almost shed tears. It turned out that it was Guo Luqiang who had already put on weight.

I haven't seen her in ten years, so I'm ecstatic.He said that he was on a business trip to Taiyuan, passed by here, and stayed for a few days.Because I asked about my situation in the past few years, I basically told him about it. Unexpectedly, he sneered and said: "What is the world? Talents like you are laid off and diverted. Self-funded transfer students like Zhu Beibei, It went smoothly into the administrative unit, and even became some kind of bullshit leader, I'm fuckin', it's really unfair."

I smiled and said, "There is no fairness in this world. Although I worked hard in the past, I live a good life now. With my family foundation, God treats me very well."

He also nodded, patted my shoulder and said with a smile: "That's true, brother likes your character, and never competes with others for anything. If it was a girl, I would have picked you up ten years ago , how can I let other people get any opportunities." Because I asked about my marriage again, I laughed and said: "That is, if you have a crush on me, others will be afraid to avoid me when they see me."

He didn't want to, but he snorted and said: "Actually, it's not the case. Marriage is not interesting at all. It's just two strangers getting together to live together. Brother is already married, isn't that how life is going? Don't worry. , take your time, just don't worry about some unnecessary people." I knew there was something in his words, so I didn't continue.

He felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so he smiled and forced me to sit in his room, and said that he was going back soon, and he wanted to treat me to dinner at noon.The kindness is hard to turn down, so I have no choice but to be respectful rather than obedient.

During this period, almost all of the topics we talked about were inseparable from the three years of technical secondary school life. Just because Ning Chenyang was mentioned, he smiled and said: "Speaking of him, I still have an interesting story that I didn't tell you. A few days ago I After going back to school, I happened to meet Director Feng Qiankun at the school gate. We hit it off pretty well, and we sat and chatted for a long time. Because we mentioned Ning Chenyang intentionally or unintentionally, I didn’t expect his old man to break down angrily. He cursed: "Don't mention that bastard grandson, I was hurt by him.""

Hearing this, I couldn't help saying happily: "Just make it up, the relationship between them is so strong, how can such a thing happen?"

Guo Luqiang curled his lips and said with a smile: "I didn't believe it at the beginning, but that old Feng put on a straight face and said solemnly: 'A few years ago, the school was going to be restructured, and a group of new leaders came over in the courtyard. The veteran was very dissatisfied, and always wanted to find someone in private and kick him out. Who would have thought that this bastard grandson got the letter, and in order to please the new master, he exposed all my old background. The matter has come to an end, and I have nothing to say It can be said that it can only be the mute who eats coptis and retires early according to their wishes. Now the grandson of the turtle has become a celebrity in front of the leaders of the hospital. Just thinking about it makes me angry.' I guess that old Feng also accepted Ning Chen back then. Yang’s benefit was to him like that, and now he has ended up like this, which is not wronged. Unexpectedly, the old Feng said sadly: “Where did I receive any benefit from him? Just because my daughter-in-law had a car accident that year, the doctor said, She was sent to the hospital in time by a student from class 9432 named Yang, who said that the child was gentle and fair, so she might be recognizable at a glance. I went to your class to investigate for a while in private, and I thought it was wishful thinking. It was him who did it, thanks to that guy who dared to admit it, from now on I will treat him as close as my own son. Without me, Song Ziyang was not a thousand times better than him back then, would it be his turn to stay in school to teach? Who knows before A few days ago, I happened to meet that doctor. Ning Chenyang drove by, and I pointed at him and scolded him. But the doctor smiled and said, "I think you admitted the wrong person, so you saved your wife." The kid in my house, wearing glasses, is much more handsome than this coward.' At that time, I was so shocked that I couldn't speak.' I thought about it carefully, and the person must be Ziyang, so I said with him After listening to Lao Feng, Lao Feng beat his chest and stamped his feet, and wept bitterly because of his drunkenness. It's no wonder that he didn't repay his kindness, but he lured wolves into the house, not only harming himself, but also personally killing the people who were really kind to him. .”

Speaking of this, my heart felt as if I had knocked over a five-flavored bottle. The feeling from that year came back to my heart unconsciously, and even my breathing became much heavier.Seeing me like this, he hesitated to speak, so he pointed out the window and smiled at me: "Makino, look over there, what is that hanging slogan? It's so ugly." , while he was wondering, he suddenly felt the warmth around his lips, and was startled, knowing that Guo Luqiang took the opportunity to kiss her.

I was a little angry, and I pushed him aside with all my strength. I was about to reprimand him, but he smiled at me with tears in his eyes: "Muye, remember? You owe me this." I suddenly Thinking of that summer, the scene of being chased by others in order to buy strawberries for Ziyang, I couldn't help but be fascinated by it.

"A few years ago, I went to Jiangnan to look for Ziyang, but their house was in ruins. I asked many times, but there was still no news at all. Since then, the news has been cut off..." I murmured, Lu Qiang listened carefully and remained silent.

After lunch, I sent him to the station, and when the car was about to leave, he suddenly ran out and said to me: "Muye, there is something I didn't want to tell you, but I just couldn't hold it back. Look at what you are doing now, wasting your youth for someone who is not worth waiting for. A friend from my branch in Zhejiang told me that Song Ziyang had passed away many years ago, as if He has leukemia. Makino, wake up, for your own sake, forget about him."

His words were like a bolt from the blue, and I was stunned there. I only felt a burst of pain in my heart, as if my heart had been ripped out by life.I felt like the world was spinning, my whole body seemed to lose my soul, my eyes went dark, and I fell to the ground.

In the haze, I seemed to see the white reed flowers again, bursts of laughter came from afar, and I seemed to see the shadows of two boys in the reeds.A boy in a white windbreaker ran forward cheerfully, while the boy in army green beside him turned his head and looked at me coldly, his eyes full of anger and disappointment.

"I handed Ziyang over to you. Why didn't you protect him?" He suddenly turned ferocious and asked me sharply. I can't stop jumping around, the wind chime in front of the bed is jingling with the wind, like a dream...

Tears couldn't help but slipped down quietly, and dripped on the tape box beside the pillow.I wiped it gently with my hand, and with the help of the light, I found that there was actually a line of small characters written on the corner of the cover, which was probably a message written to me by Zhong Ziyang in Yuemeikou back then.

The handwriting is delicate and elegant, and it seems to bring me back to the unforgettable green years in an instant.There was a bunk bed in the corner, he was lying on it, and I was sitting on the bottom, each with an earplug, listening to the melodious music quietly.

Makino, will you miss me?

Ziyang

Time flies, and ten years passed in a blink of an eye. I did not attend the class reunion organized by Wang Shaofeng, but I heard from Zhu Beibei that Wang Shaofeng married the daughter of their former mayor after graduation. It went smoothly, and now he has become a high-ranking deputy mayor in the local area.

Zheng Linna married a wealthy businessman who was 20 years older than her. Although she lived a prosperous life, it was just that the second-hand job of her stepmother seemed not easy to do.As she got older, the charm of the past was gone forever, and she didn't have any other hobbies left behind, she just liked to show off her wealth to others, but no matter what, she couldn't hide the emptiness and loneliness in her heart.

Through the principal's relationship, Ning Chenyang got to know the daughter of the deputy director of the Provincial Department of Education. This shameless villain who always likes to step on other people's shoulders is about to become the next dean of the college.

Shi Zhengliang and Han Yuemei finally got together, but Shi Zhengliang's bad habits are hard to change. After graduation, he committed dozens of large-scale crimes outside Yuemei's back, and has now been arrested by the police.Yuemei takes care of her two children by herself, and her life is quite poor.

Guo Luqiang is now the person in charge of the Guangzhou branch of a listed company. Although he is good at talking, he is one of Zhu Beibei's least favorite people in his words and actions.

As for Ziyang, I never dare to mention him in front of others, for fear that if I am not careful, I will forget his original appearance.Now that I am on the fourth day, my life is still not settled, and I am used to hearing the sarcastic remarks in the world, but no matter what, I still don't want to go against my original wish.

The white windbreaker Ziyang gave me is still treasured in the closet. I will take it out to look at it in my spare time, lest it will get dusty or a little bit damaged.I specially took a picture of it and put it in my space, besides using Yiyan's "Am I Your Only Reader" as the background music, there is also a line copied from other places below little poem:

For many years, you have been living in seclusion in my wound. I have let go of the world, but I have never let go of you.

A few months later, I got a reply with nothing but a photo.

Among the vast clouds and water, a lonely figure is walking forward, he is wearing a white windbreaker, his face is blurred by the twilight.

I can't help but blur my eyes with tears, Ziyang, if you are still in this world, why have you never said a single word in more than ten years; if you are still in this world, why don't you want me to see your aging face; if you Still in the world, why don't you stop your pursuit?If you are still in the world, do you still cherish the innocence we shared together back then?

May you still be alive...
