take a break

Flowers are blooming, and water lilies and koi are raised in a fan-shaped pool in the corner, bringing a coolness and a different kind of vitality to the hot summer.

35. Blind...

Li Xuesheng sprinkled some fish food into the crystal-clear pool, watching the colorful koi swimming around and competing for food among the budding water lilies, a light and elegant smile like a lotus flower bloomed on his rosy white face .

Li Xuesheng watched the fish, Chen Shuhua watched the scenery, and Shen Yixuan watched the people. The three of them were close at hand, but each had their own enjoyment.

Li Xuesheng lay at home and rested all day, and was served attentively by Shen Yixuan with delicious food and drink.

After nearly 5 months, Chen Shuhua was almost moved to tears when he ate the delicious food made by Shen Yixuan again.

He decided to make good use of the two months of summer vacation to comfort his poor stomach.

After a sumptuous dinner, Shen Yixuan led Li Xuesheng and Chen Shuhua to a nearby shopping mall to buy summer clothes, hats, shoes, backpacks and other items.

In the morning of the next day, Shen Yixuan led Li Xuesheng and Chen Shuhua, who looked brand new, to Peking University on foot, and led them to visit the campus of Peking University.

Peking University campus is also called Yan Garden, including Shuchun Garden, Spoon Garden, Langrun Garden, etc. It was a famous royal garden in Ming and Qing dynasties.

Peking University has made full use of this rare historical heritage and built a picturesque campus environment, which not only has the grandeur of royal gardens, but also has the beautiful characteristics of Jiangnan landscapes.

However, the reason why Peking University is worshiped by people all over the country is not because of its beautiful natural environment, but because of its strong humanistic atmosphere.

It was midsummer, and the ancient trees on the campus of Peking University were towering, the trees were shady, the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant, and there were many tourists.

All major tour groups have launched the "one-day tour of colleges and universities" project, organizing tourists to visit Peking University, Tsinghua University and other campuses, in order to attract families with children.

When Li Xuesheng and his group visited the campus, they ran into various tour groups several times.

Hearing many parents eagerly exhorting their children to study hard and be admitted to Peking University, Li Xuesheng deeply understood the meaning of the phrase "poor parents all over the world".

Because, although he is only 9 years old on the outside, he has the sincerity of being a father.

Chen Shuhua has longed for Peking University for a long time, and now he finally stepped into the beautiful campus of Peking University. He immediately transformed into a happy bird, flying around the world.

Looking at Chen Shuhua's lively and agile figure under the sun, Li Xuesheng sighed: "This kid is really obsessed with Peking University, and even thinks that Peking University is the most powerful university in the world. I deliberately corrected his wrong concept, but he died." Don't repent. Are you angry?"

"When you said that, I suddenly remembered a true story that my colleague told me. Once you hear it, you can understand how superstitious we Chinese are about Peking University."

Before Shen Yixuan started to tell the story, he himself began to enjoy himself.

Li Xuesheng looked at Shen Yixuan who couldn't stop smiling suspiciously, and thought to himself that this story might be very absurd.

Shen Yixuan managed to stop laughing, and said solemnly: "A young girl was sitting on the bus and saw a plainly dressed man get on the bus. Seeing a bulging cloth bag on the man's back, she inadvertently swept it At first glance, she suddenly found the word "Peking University" written on the bag, and her eyes lit up with excitement. She looked at this man with admiration, and the more she looked, the more she felt that this man was full of intellectual brilliance. The car arrived at a certain station Stopped and saw the man getting off the car. The girl who had not yet arrived at the destination deliberately followed the man to get off the car ahead of time because she was worried that she would miss the 'Peking University' man. She followed the man secretly for several minutes , really couldn't suppress the admiration and impulse in her heart, and decided to confess. When she mustered up the courage to catch up with this man and was about to speak, she suddenly found that there were two words on both sides of the cloth bag, and the one on the left was a' Dong' character, the right side is a 'meter' character."

"Northeast rice?"

After Li Xuesheng said these four words, he burst out laughing with a "puchi".

Shen Yixuan followed hehe and laughed, and asked intermittently: "How is it... this level of superstition...is it possessed by a demon?"

"It's too exaggerated...Is this a cold joke?"

Li Xuesheng smiled and took out his handkerchief, and gently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"I don't believe it's a true story."

"With Chen Shuhua's superstitious belief in Peking University, maybe he can do such a thing." Shen Yixuan laughed.

Li Xuesheng thought for a while and said, "It's really possible! After a while, when he's crazy enough, you can tell him this story again."

The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

Attracted by Li Xuesheng's laughter, Chen Shuhua flapped the wings in his heart, flew back to Li Xuesheng happily like a bird, and asked, "Xuesheng, what are you laughing at?"

"Laugh at you!" Li Xuesheng looked at Chen Shuhua with a smile.

"What's wrong with me?" Chen Shuhua asked blankly.

Shen Yixuan suppressed a smile and retold the story just now, and Chen Shuhua laughed out loud after hearing it.

"This...joke...really...meaningful..."

Chen Shuhua was panting while laughing, and laughed for a long time until his face was full of tears, before returning to normal.

He wiped his tears with a handkerchief, and suddenly remembered Li Xuesheng's words, and couldn't help but ask in doubt: "But, what does this have to do with me?"

"Don't you blindly believe in Peking University? Maybe you can do this kind of thing."

Li Xuesheng had a smile in his eyes, but his tone was a bit serious.

"Xiaohua, you have to be careful in the future, don't be abducted or cheated by people with ulterior motives!"

"How could I be so stupid?" Chen Shuhua raised his eyebrows and protested loudly.

"I hope you are sensible enough." Li Xuesheng said earnestly, "Anyway, you should take it as a warning."

Chen Shuhua puffed up his cheeks and glared at Li Xuesheng with dissatisfaction.

Shen Yixuan stepped back quietly, and pointed the camera lens at Li Xuesheng and Chen Shuhua who were standing opposite each other under the shade of the tree.

The sunlight fell through the canopy of the tree, and was cut into countless tiny light spots by the branches and green leaves. They dressed the two in smart and dazzling Chinese clothes, and were frozen into eternity by Shen Yixuan's "click".

During a summer vacation, Shen Yixuan led Li Xuesheng and Chen Shuhua to visit places of interest in Beijing, eat all kinds of snacks in Beijing, and took hundreds of photos.

Chen Shuhua runs around the campus of Peking University almost every day. He is full of affection for every plant and tree in Peking University.

Happy times are always fleeting.

Seeing that the summer vacation was coming to an end and the day to return to City H was approaching, Chen Shuhua's mood became more and more depressed.

"Xuesheng, I don't want to go."

Chen Shuhua leaned on the soft and comfortable long sofa, and looked at Li Xuesheng sitting beside him with a bitter face.

"I live here well, eat well, play well, and I can go to Peking University every day. I don't want to go back to that crappy school in 'City' again. I don't want to eat pig food from the school cafeteria again!"

Recalling that Chen Shuhua once sincerely praised the beauty and elegance of the campus and the magnificent architecture of No. [-] Middle School in H City, Li Xuesheng secretly lamented the fickleness of the children.

It's been less than two months, and the food in the "city" canteen has been downgraded to "pig food".

We have to eat there for two years, you just wait and suffer!

"The winter vacation will be in five months. At that time, we will come to Beijing to celebrate the New Year together." Li Xuesheng comforted him softly, "As long as you study hard, you will be a student of Peking University in two years. At that time, you will think about it one day. It’s okay to live in Peking University 5 hours a day.”

Seeing Chen Shuhua clinging on Li Xuesheng like a sloth, acting coquettishly and cheating, Shen Yixuan was a little envious and jealous.

"Chen Shuhua, you are so lucky! No matter what you do, Xuesheng will pamper you, coax you, and tolerate you. Being able to stay with Xuesheng every day, you are not satisfied, you are really greedy!"

Thinking that the next time I saw Li Xuesheng again would be early February 1991, Shen Yixuan suddenly felt melancholy and tangled into a mess, with constant cutting and unreasoning.

He felt that relying on a few thick photo albums and a letter that came every half a month to comfort the lovesick self was really extremely desolate!

However, he couldn't say anything, he couldn't do anything, he could only silently put Li Xuesheng on the long-distance bus for the return journey, and let Sinian fly across half of China.

Gathering is always short, parting is eternal.

This is a common situation in the world, and no one can change it.

Both Shen Yixuan and Li Xuesheng have mature souls, even if they are melancholy, reluctant, or lost, they can only say goodbye with a smile.

Both of them melted deep thoughts into their eyes, and at the last moment when their eyes met, they silently conveyed this tender feeling that could not be put into words.

Summer is gone, autumn is here; autumn is gone, winter is here; winter is gone, spring is here; spring is gone, summer is here...

Throughout the year, the cycle repeats.

Its law and length are independent of anyone's will.

After three short reunions and two years of long separation, Li Xuesheng and Chen Shuhua finally ushered in the 1992 college entrance examination.

Before filling out the application for the college entrance examination, Li Xuesheng led Chen Shuhua to the post office near the school and made a long-distance call to Shen Yixuan.

Before, he had already asked Shen Yixuan in the letter to pay attention to matters related to the college entrance examination, and to consider the school and major that Chen Shuhua should fill in.

This time, he planned to make the final confirmation with Shen Yixuan on the phone.

Chen Shuhua is full of confidence in the college entrance examination, thinking that he only needs to fill in Peking University, and other universities will not be considered.

However, Li Xuesheng knew very well that there are unpredictable things in the sky, and he didn't dare to take any risks on this important event that would affect Chen Shuhua's life.

Li Xuesheng and Shen
