White dove

In mid-May, the mail from the shipping company finally arrived, attaching the designated medical examination hospital and designated medical examination items to Tong Tong. After reading it, there are many more inspection items than the regular entry medical examination. After all, it is necessary to go to sea. The quality requirements are very high. Some special diseases or recessive diseases will not affect daily life, but they will be life-threatening when going to sea. After the medical examination report comes out, the graduation defense will be followed, and then the graduation certificate and degree certificate will be obtained. It's time to board the ship.

With less than a month left, the senior year is like a flower that blooms freely. The flowering period of the graduation season is the most in full swing, but it is also the end of blooming and withering. Enthusiasm and decadence are intertwined, and they are indistinguishable from each other.

Tong Tong could smell the embers in the fire.

The people in the department are scattered, and many people have already started working locally or in other places. Cheng Shanshan went to Shanghai half a month ago, and Su Lei actually went with her. Bian Cheng told Tong Tong about it Sometimes there is a helpless smile on his face. It is rare for Su Lei to see so clearly and love without reservation. The so-called moths to the fire, the feeling of pain and happiness can only be experienced by the person himself.

Du Li's work has also been settled. She learned the inside news so early, and finally won the position of counselor staying in school for Ren Deren. Pigeon didn't take the exam and never lost her temper, but Tongtong saw from her smiling eyes that there was nothing more sad than heartbreak. In fact, there was nothing. If you give up, you don't care about anything.

They haven't broken up yet, but they have already shared the same bed with different dreams and respected each other like guests.

Seeing this pair of English gods and grievances come to this day, Tong Tong is not without emotion. Leng Chao and Du Li have their own way of getting along. When this way is not facing the real cruelty of the real society, everything is seasoning. However, the door of the ivory tower has just been opened, and their legs and feet have not been sold, and this fragile and empty dream is shattered.

Leng Chao couldn't stand Du Li's increasing politeness and indifference, so he moved back to the dormitory, and didn't speak all day, living in the dark.

Tong Tong went to the designated central hospital, and took the physical examination sheet to do the examination item by item. Height, weight, vision, blood, MRI, electrocardiogram... It was simple and the result came out at that time, the blood was sent for genetic testing, half a month later A complete inspection report is issued.

When I left the hospital, I received a message from Qin Shu: "Little Tong, I went to Shanghai. Maybe this is not a smart decision, but some things have to be experienced. Will you bless me? This is too much to ask, right? I feel the same way, but rather than becoming polite and alienated from you, I would rather have the cheek to beg you not to break contact, how are you with Border Town, nothing else, I just hope he is braver than me, you deserve it The best people."

The sun at noon was so blazing, Tong Tong squinted his eyes and covered the screen with his hands to barely see the words clearly. He felt mixed feelings for a while, so he found a shade under a tree, and after thinking for a long time, he didn't know what to say. "The journey is smooth, and there may be many unsatisfactory things, but I believe you can do it, and I always believe in you." He said.

It's still faded and far away, but it seems that there is no way to go back to the beginning.

Biancheng brought back a piece of good news. There was a new foreign real estate developer stationed in Yijiang who got in touch with him. Speaking of which, this person was introduced by Su Lei. This company also has a shipping business. Lei's family has always had a cooperative relationship, and now that they want to enter the real estate industry, Su Lei got the news in advance and introduced Biancheng to him.

Since having this highly successful potential client, Biancheng's spirit has improved. He told Tongtong that this client can be settled in a high probability, so don't worry about it in the future, and then repeated that sentence countless times Over and over again: "Don't run the boat, I will have money."

In fact, at this time, it seems that it is not only because of money, but breach of contract is one thing. After all, this is the first time that Tongtong has paid a lot of money to do something for the border town, and he does not want to give up halfway.

Going to sea is very hard, but you can also see the world and exercise yourself. Gradually, Tong Tong found that he was actually looking forward to this job in his heart. The college entrance examination was an opportunity to leave Yijiang, but he gave up. He could leave after graduation. , but now there is a border town, but the world is so big, he has been living in such a small place all his life in his early twenties, how could he not have longing in his heart.

Since you can't make your home all over the world, let's be a wanderer for a while.

It's only a year, and this will be the only time they will be apart in their lifetime, he explained to Bian Cheng seriously, Bian Cheng rubbed his face with his hands: "I can bear to be separated from you temporarily, but if something happens to you outside, I will regret it for the rest of my life. "

Tong Tong teased him: "Oh, then you don't want me if I lack arms and legs?"

"That's not what I'm talking about." Biancheng said helplessly: "As long as you are still alive, I will not separate from you, but what if there is a shipwreck, tsunami, or even being captured by pirates? Africa is not peaceful in the first place. Heard it was pretty bad."

"No, we are a trading ship. The ship's equipment is very advanced. If there is any danger, we will avoid it in advance. As for the people, I will be very careful. When encountering problems, I will never stand out and hide behind."

"It's not as simple as you said..." Bian Cheng couldn't fall asleep when he thought of this, but he knew that Tong Tong's heart was not as docile and stable as his appearance, and he couldn't stop it in all likelihood. What's more, there is obvious expectation in Tong Tong's tone, everyone has dreams, love is, and so is breaking into the world.

Su Lei and Cheng Shanshan are back. It is said that Cheng Shanshan has got a very good job, a branch of a Fortune [-] company based in Shanghai. Su Lei said that he would call everyone to get together to celebrate, and suggested going to the trendy Sichuan restaurant in the city center Tong Tong and Bian Cheng actually felt that the restaurant was more gimmick than substance, so they might as well cook and eat at their home. It was a bit crowded, but they could relax and drink at their own home. How nice to have a drink and chat.

Leng Chao was the first to respond in the group. Since Leng Chao went back to the dormitory to "retreat" in seclusion, he hadn't contacted him very much, and he didn't reply to messages. Today, this person is so active. Tong Tong's intuition is not simple. Sure enough, Leng Chao followed up immediately. After a sentence, I also specially posted someone "@杜李也来".

Yo, is this made up again?Tong Tong was shocked, and he privately sent Leng Chao: "What's the situation? Resurrection or fraudulent corpse?"

"You don't have any good words out of your mouth, so you can't expect me to be nice?" Leng Chao was filled with righteous indignation.

"Talk about the point."

"reconciled."

"The cow is still your cow, how is it?" Tong Tong was curious.

"I've decided to stay in Yijiang, and I plan to break the contract with Bijuyuan." Leng Chao said without hesitation.

"..." The cow is your cow, and your willfulness is your willfulness, Tong Tong said, "You will lose money, right?"

"Then pay for it. Compared with my wife, money is nothing."

Tong Tong was speechless: "Why did you go so early, good things have to be made so dramatic by you, are there twists and turns to be interesting?"

"You don't understand. If I hadn't experienced it like this, I wouldn't have known that I couldn't do without her so much. Cough man, he blushed so much when he said this. If you understand it, you'll be overwhelmed." Leng Chao probably felt soured by himself. , too lazy to say.

"Okay, come early tomorrow night."

The two talked for a long time, Tong Tong looked at the group again, but Du Li didn't reply.

The next afternoon, Biancheng finished work early, and drove to the supermarket with Tong Tong to buy a lot of food and drink. He planned to make a hot pot at home at night, and there were many people eating and lively.

Together with Tong Tong, he moved the table and chairs to the terrace, and connected floor lamps and Bluetooth speakers. When the evening wind blew, Tong Tong played Leslie Cheung's old songs, and his whole body was relaxed.

At six o'clock, more people arrived one after another. When people celebrate happy events, they are in good spirits. Cheng Shanshan's whole face can't be concealed. When a person is in a good mood that is on the rise, Tong Tong sincerely said to her, " Congratulations," Cheng Shanshan showed his teeth and smiled, then looked back at Su Lei: "I'm not familiar with the place, thanks to someone taking care of me."

Tong Tong glanced at Su Lei, the pallor on his face had almost disappeared, he looked much healthier than last time, he was also smiling, but didn't say anything.

Tong Tong went to the kitchen to help the border city. The hot pot is easy to make. The meat is ready-made and cut. You just need to wash and cut the vegetables to be rinsed. Add water to the hot pot base and cook. There are many people tonight, so we need to prepare There are quite a few dishes.

Biancheng also bought a lot of disposable bowls and plates when they came back. The two of them don’t need so many bowls and chopsticks in their daily life, but there are so many people today, Tongtong couldn’t think of these at the supermarket. Border Town is thoughtful.

The cut vegetables are all sorted and placed on the plate. At a glance, they are all Tongtong’s favorite food, such as bamboo shoots, frozen tofu, beef louver, yellow throat, hand-cut beef and mutton, black tripe, shrimp, fish balls ...

Biancheng stopped him: "It will be ready soon, the rest are all vegetables, and they will be washed very quickly. You go and play with them. I guess today is the last time you can get together before graduation."

After saying this, Tong Tong realized that it seemed true. It stands to reason that there will be a breakup meal after the graduation ceremony, but he can't wait for that time, so he said that today is about to break up with a few good friends After dinner, I felt sad in an instant.

Leng Chao and Du Li also came, dragging their tails to bring Mu Ke, Mu Ke punched Tong Tong as soon as he entered the door: "It's not mean, you don't call me for a hot pot dinner, are you still a brother?"

Tong Tong really forgot, he yelled in the QQ group, there was no Mu Ke in that group...

Su Lei brought wine, Du Li bought a large bag of fruit snacks, and a group of people cleared the dining table. It was a bit crowded, but only when it was so crowded was it lively.

Tong Tong first found out the induction cooker and the pot, Biancheng put the bottom of the prepared hot pot on it, and a few people hurriedly brought out the meat and vegetables to be boiled from the kitchen, and they sat around in a circle, Su Lei brought sparkling wine, and it's really... very novel to pair with hot pot.

The bottom of the hot pot has not yet been boiled, and the heat is circling. Tong Tong raised his glass and said, "I wish Shanshan can get what he wants and find a good job."

Cheng Shanshan smiled brightly and replied: "Let's go together, everyone has found a job they like now, let's drink to ourselves!"

After a group of people finished drinking, Leng Chao sighed: "Shanshan, the people you just mentioned don't include me."

Following Leng Chao's words, Tong Tong's eyes turned towards Du Li unconsciously. Du Li lowered his head and picked up the seasoning in the bowl without saying a word. Leng Chao touched Du Li's shoulder and continued saying, " Hey wife, I will go to the job fair tomorrow and distribute resumes online, and every unit in Yijiang will send out a round, so I’m sure you can find them, don’t worry.”

Du Li raised his head, his eyes erratic: "Well, you can definitely do it."

Tong Tong suddenly had a feeling in his heart that Leng Chao had turned his back on the wild horse this time, maybe it was his own wishful thinking, and seeing Du Li's expression, he didn't seem to be very happy about it.

Hey, things have come to this point, I can only hope for luck, Tong Tong sighed in her heart.

Bubbles bubbled out from the bottom of the pot. Although a group of people could eat spicy food, Biancheng didn’t make it particularly spicy, only to the extent that Tongtong could eat it, and made a lot of seasonings. Those who want spicy food can take it by themselves.

They had a lively meal, and the topics they talked about tonight were all their imaginations about the upcoming future. Bian Cheng and Su Lei, two people who have been struggling in society for many years, didn't say much, looking forward to and hoping It is one of the most beautiful things in the world, and they will not cruelly use the truth to expose it early.

After eating the hot pot, the group of people hadn't enjoyed themselves yet, so Mu Ke suggested that they should go out and find a place to have a drink or two?Tong Tong drank a little dazedly, no one wanted to leave too early for this last gathering, it would be best if tomorrow's dawn never comes, until they wake up and can still see each other by their side.

Leng Chao was standing by the railing of the balcony, which was facing the commercial street at the side entrance, and suddenly said: "Why don't you go to Green Island? I think the store has been open since Qin Shu transferred it, and I don't know the current one. No matter who the boss is, the sign has not changed."

Speaking of it, Green Island is the origin of many things, and it is also the end of some things. If it weren't for Green Island, Tong Tong probably wouldn't know the border town, and if it wasn't for Green Island, Tong Tong wouldn't have separated from Qin Shu so resolutely.

After that time, he never went there again. Although he often passed by the side door and saw that the dusty signboard was still there, he always walked quickly, for fear of taking a second look inside.

The good, the bad, it's all there, it's all in the past.

Tonight, Tong Tong suddenly wanted to go. If tonight was an early farewell, the best place to say goodbye would be Green Island.

Probably because it was a bit late, there were not many people in Green Island, there were a few scattered couples, Tong Tong walked in, and felt dazed for a moment, the person behind the bar was no longer Qin Shu, and the person next to the pool table People are no longer Biancheng, Qin Shu has gone to Shanghai, and Biancheng is by his side right now.

He looked at the furnishings of these tables and chairs, and the walls that were peeled off because of the ineffectiveness of DIY painting. In this place, he had no reservations about his previous relationship and was completely out of control, but he miraculously met the next A person, he has been resisting and rejecting this place for a while, but looking back at this moment, he looked at the border town, fortunately you came that day.

If you haven't met, you won't understand what you might lose.

They walked directly into the small curved sofa at the innermost side, and sat in a circle. Leng Chao asked Du Li, "Do you still want to sing? Help me order Xiaotian Hezheng?"

Du Li shook his head: "It's too late, let's chat and drink."

Bian Cheng brought a few glasses of wine from the bar, and handed them to Tong Tong, who looked familiar. When he picked them up, he remembered the smell, a touch of gin and tonic.

I don’t know who mentioned the meeting when freshman just entered the school, so this round turned into a reminiscence meeting again. Leng Chao’s mobile phone still has photos from his freshman military training. Tong Tong jumped up to grab the mobile phone. Holding him down, he snatched it from Leng Chao's hand with great skill, and saw Tong Tong when he first entered school four years ago.

This should be a snapshot taken at the end of the military training, after everyone has gotten to know each other well. Among the boys who were scorched in the sun, Tong Tong’s white face is particularly conspicuous. He is about the same size as now, half a head taller than Leng Chao. The expression on his face was very different from now, his eyes were obviously full of childishness, but he drifted indifferently outside the lively crowd, with the boys crossing their shoulders, he just stood quietly by the side, standing for a while. After the moon's military posture, it looks like a young white poplar that has just been drawn.

Tong Tong jumped around the border town: "It's so stupid!"

Bian Cheng turned his head to look down at him, then looked at his phone, and said to Leng Chao, "Send it to me, I want to keep it as a screen saver for my phone."

Tong Tong screamed, Bian Cheng laughed, stretched out his hand to rub his soft hair, he felt that Tong Tong was not cold at all, it was different from the photo, and he was not the same as the person he met on Green Island for the first time Same.

But he likes any child pupil.

I don’t know what time the bar left. It’s really strange that this green island has changed owners. No one came to urge them to leave. Tong Tong was carried back home by the border city. His body was dangling on both sides, his hands were tightly wrapped around his neck from behind, and his head was also pressed tightly.

The border city stopped suddenly in the dark, and Tong Tong suddenly woke up a little bit: "Ah? I'm so heavy, isn't it?"

Bian Cheng smiled lightly: "No way, it's not a problem to add another you, not this one, Xiaotong, I want to talk to you."

"What?" Tong Tong raised his head slightly, looking up at the border city from the side of his neck.

"I hope that no matter where you are or what you are doing, you will always remember that I will never change for you, and I will never change for the rest of my life." Bian Cheng clearly said this sentence in the middle of the dilapidated and dark corridor. words.
