After Director Jiang spoke, several school leaders went up one after another.
The sun is getting hotter.
"It looks like I'll be sending something later," He Chao was tall. He glanced forward and glanced at the cardboard box beside Director Jiang, guessing, "Looks like a book?"
Other schools do give out books at the coming-of-age ceremony, which is simple and crude, one copy of the Constitution per person, but according to the size of this cardboard box, it should not be able to hold such a heavy book.
Old Tang was busy organizing discipline, Xie Yu leaned back calmly, and didn't quite hear what he was saying.
He Chao leaned forward, and as long as he lowered his head again, he could touch the tip of his ear. After turning his mind, he called out to him, "Thank you, old man."
Xie Yu was so uncomfortable from the sun, he raised his hand to cover his eyebrows.
"You're an adult and you've grown up, and you have to learn something important."
The voice of the man behind him was low, and his breath hit his ear when he spoke. These words were very similar to what the mad dog said just now. Xie Yu didn't realize what he meant for a while, and paused before asking, "What? "
He Chao said: "Take responsibility."
"Um."
Xie Yu's response was neither cold nor indifferent. Based on what he knew about this person, it was definitely not a good word.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished 'um', He Chao immediately said, "For example, you must be responsible for your boyfriend."
"… "
It's the fucking way.
"I'll take it." Xie Yu's swear words were halfway through, but he didn't go any further, and directly broke his power. "Can you say something well, and it's interesting to go around?"
He Chao wanted to tease him, and when he heard this, he lowered his head with a smile, and pressed his forehead directly into the crevice of his neck.
At this time, the last leader on the stage finished speaking.
After calculating the time, it was almost time to visit the memorial hall. However, the class teachers gathered around the cardboard box and did not know what they were doing. After about five minutes, one person came back with a stack of things.
—A dozen thick envelopes.
In this part, Old Tang did not inform them in advance. When Xie Yu got the envelope, he still couldn't react.
"Xie Yu" was written on the cover of the envelope.
The handwriting is correct and graceful, very familiar, and at a glance, you know that it is Ms. Gu's handwriting.
"Where's yours?" Xie Yu said and looked back, and saw the words "He Chao" on the envelope in He Chao's hand, followed by another scribbled line: I am your father.
"… "
He Chao also saw it, coughed lightly and said, "This old He from our family has a lot of personality."
He heard Lao Tang call He Chao's father in the office before, Xie Yu thought he had a clear understanding of this 'Lao He', but he didn't expect it to go far beyond his imagination: "It's quite true. personality."
During the speech, a sensational soundtrack was played on the side speaker, and the song "Grateful Heart" poured out with electrical noise.
All the students who got the letter are still in a circle, talking in a low voice:
"what."
"My dad wrote it to me?"
"my mother?"
As the squad leader, Liu Cunhao stood at the front of the line.
"What the hell," he opened the envelope and read the first line, "to my dear son..."
There was a bit of joking in the words.
As a result, after he finished reading these words, he suddenly lost his voice.
After Lao Tang sent the last letter, he stood beside Director Jiang and said, "How did you think of it?"
Director Jiang usually looks fierce and ruthless, but the more ruthless he speaks, sometimes his mind is more delicate than Tang Sen, a Chinese teacher. The coming-of-age ceremony was planned very early on, and I wanted to do it as special as possible so that the children could remember this day as much as possible.
Director Jiang sighed: "Some words are usually difficult to speak, maybe in the form of letters, parents can have more communication with them..."
Xie Yu opened the envelope and found that Ms. Gu had written three pieces of paper.
The first sentence is "I love you".
For a moment, he seemed to see through these thin pages of paper that Ms. Gu was sitting at the desk with a pen and writing.
—I love you, but sometimes love is a burden.
I also thank you very much, thank you for being by my side.
Xie Yu's hand holding the paper tightened, and he couldn't tell, as if his heart was suddenly pinched in a gentle way.
Several girls in the next class couldn't hold back their emotions, so they couldn't help crying. They covered their mouths with one hand and let out a few sobbing voices from between their fingers.
When these girls cried, the atmosphere became even more sensational.
Sometimes the real, strongest thoughts in my heart are embarrassing to say.
Xie Yu looked at two pages of paper, then raised his head and stared at the tree not far away for a while, then slowed down and read the last page word by word.
Since you were very young, I couldn't help thinking about your future. Think about what you will be like when you grow up, where you will go and what you will do. Three hundred and sixty lines, I thought about it one by one.
Now you have to think for yourself.
No matter what you choose, I'm proud of you.
I just want you to be safe and happy.
"The coming-of-age ceremony of Liyang No. 2 Middle School is over here," Director Jiang took the microphone and finally said a few words, "I hope that no matter what difficulties you encounter in the future, you can recall this day. All the moving and courage , and the original intention.”
"Now, please follow the leading teachers and enter the museum in order..."
The process of visiting the People's Memorial Hall was very quiet. I don't know if I couldn't relax from the ceremony just now, or I was speechless in the face of the heavy history. After visiting according to the prescribed route, it was close to 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
It wasn't until they got in the car to go to the restaurant for dinner that the group became active again.
He Zhao raised his voice and said, "I'll make it clear first, I will refuse to sit at a table with the Sports Committee later."
This time, there were eight people at a table, and the meal basically depended on grabbing.
After He Chao's declaration, Liu Cunhao followed closely, raised his hand and said, "I also refuse."
Luo Wenqiang was kicked back and forth like a ball. According to this development trend, in the end, he could only have a table with Lao Tang and the others: "Rat, don't you spoil me? You promised to spoil each other!"
"… "
He Zhao took the lead in activating the atmosphere, and then he didn't speak any more. He put one hand in his trouser pocket, tilted his head back, and closed his eyes.
Even though the eyes were completely dark, the words in the old congratulatory letter still appeared little by little.
- I'm also afraid that you will fall and hurt.
- But I believe in you more, how could my son give up because of this difficulty.
In He Chao's impression, Lao He was a very cool parent. In the past, I would have felt that this method of education was very inhumane. As long as he fell, Lao He would never reach out to support him: "If you have the ability, lie on the ground for the rest of your life, and if you have no ability, get up."
Thinking of this, He Zhao vaguely noticed that something moved beside him. When he opened his eyes, the fingertips of the little boy beside him had already peeped in a little along the edge of his trouser pocket.
He Zhao didn't say anything, just leaned on the back of the chair and stared at him.
Xie Yu didn't dodge, and directly held his hand.
Luo Wenqiang and the others changed the subject, from dinner to the hotel: "I'll go back later and plan to do some homework..."
"You brought homework? Are you a beast? Didn't you say it would take care of itself!"
"I comfort you, can you believe the words of comfort?"
The food in the restaurant is not good. The big log is covered with a layer of plastic tablecloth. There are more than a dozen tables in a hall, and several classes are crowded here.
Luo Wenqiang still sat at their table, making everyone panic.
He Chao was worried that Xie Yu would be embarrassed, and reminded: "Wait a while and grab it with chopsticks, or else I won't even bring you the leftover vegetable juice."
Xie Yu took off the chopsticks and didn't care: "He can try it."
Everyone sitting at the table with Luo Wenqiang had their backs straight, and they were ready to fight, as if they were greeted not by a big meal, but by a battle.
Wanda was sitting next to Luo Wenqiang. He felt that today's meal could go down in history. When other tables ate quietly and complained that the food was not appetizing from time to time, their table was full of chickens.
He Zhao threw the chopsticks directly: "Fuck, rat, hold him up. Don't give him the chance to pick up vegetables—"
"Wanda, don't eat, help me," Liu Cunhao shouted, "Just attack him!"
Wanda was at a loss: "Mingmen? What fate?"
Xie Yu: "Grab his chopsticks."
Luo Wenqiang was attacked by the enemy, and could only be pressed by others, his cheeks pressed against the dining table: "Why are you doing this to me?"
The person at the table next to him was stunned: "Is this a meal? It's too violent."
Several people fought together, and finally held the remaining half of the grilled fish in the center of the table.
Compared with delicate dishes, delicacies from mountains and seas, this large-pot meal, with the chef's hands shaking and a few spoons of salt added when cooking, tastes comparable to the scene of a car accident.
What everyone doesn't know is that this taste has not been forgotten for years afterward.
The itinerary for the two days was quite compact. After eating, after a simple repair, I set off for the temple fair.
It's not as sultry as the afternoon, and when I got off the bus, there was even a few gusts of cool wind blowing along the side of the lake.
The South Temple is also a unique tourist attraction in the area. As the evening approaches, there are more and more people.
On the street, there are vendors pushing carts to sell pendant accessories, with red embroidery and tassels hanging from the bottom, which are delicate and chic.
There are also old people who set up stalls to sell river lanterns, hunched over, sitting by the lake and stepping on the bluestone steps.
The customs here are completely different from those in City A, and they look quite ancient.
Old Tang is not very worried about them. There are many people here, and it will be completely dark after a while. He even asked a few times if he brought his mobile phone with him: "...Okay, are you sure you have brought it? Then everyone will be free to move around in groups and gather at the door at seven o'clock. ."
When Xie Yu listened, someone suddenly patted him on the back.
He Chao was behind him, lip-synching "Go".
"where to."
"Anywhere," He Chao said again, "Don't leave and stay in this group?"
Xie Yu remembered the last autumn tour, and said to his heart that it's okay, too many people are too annoying.
As soon as Old Tang finished talking about the grouping, Liu Cunhao subconsciously turned his head to look for the two school bullies, and happened to catch a glimpse of their backs.
Both of them were wearing school uniforms, and they were a perfect match when they stood together. After not walking very far, He Chao stretched out his hand without hesitation and held Xie Yu's.
