National Tide 1980.

Fang Xiao doesn't know the right family, and doesn't believe in the old adage "marry a girl from a high family, marry a woman from a low family".

Only then did he suffer humiliation and make himself a clown in his life.

There are also some people, although they know these truths and believe in these truths, but because they cannot resist the instinct of yearning for beauty in their nature.

Even with apprehension, knowing that it is very likely that he is doing useless work, he still can't help but do the act of putting a pig's nose in a green onion, and a moth flying into a flame.

Also on this snowy day, Xiao Tao reunited with a girl named Sang Jing.

The coincidental scene happened just before five o'clock that afternoon.

On this day, originally Xiaotao came to Xidan's "126 Taiwan" sales office with tens of thousands of dollars according to Ning Weimin's instructions. Several people bought "Beeper".

This thing is commonly known as a pager.

I didn't expect that even the operators were not familiar with the new things. It took several hours to complete the procedures of number selection, station entry, and payment.

What's more, he didn't expect that just a few steps out of the gate of the sales department, Xiao Tao was stopped by a girl who passed him by on the street.

"Tao Zhen! Hey...you...you are...Tao Zhen, right?"

To be honest, there were days when no one called Xiao Tao that.

Ever since he dropped out of school to mess around in society, except from the police, he has never heard anyone call his tuba that.

Whether it is a family member, a neighbor, or a friend in society.

Basically, they call him "Little Tao", "Tao Zi", or "Tao Brother".

In addition, the girl was dressed tightly enough, with a cashmere hat, a white mask, and a large army coat wrapped around her head, so she couldn't tell what she looked like at all.

So when Xiao Tao turned his head, he immediately opened his mouth and was stunned. He couldn't recognize who this girl called him was, and his mind almost went down.

Fortunately, the girl is very smart, and quickly saw his dumbfounded embarrassment, so she took the initiative to take off the mask and hat.

This time, the beautiful appearance revealed, almost did not shake Xiao Tao's eyes.

That girl was really pretty, with long hair showing off like a movie star.

She stood in the snow with a smile, her thin lips were like the last red light of the setting sun on the horizon.

Her expression was still a little cramped, and she seemed a little uncertain and shy.

Moreover, Xiao Tao was very familiar with this smile.

In an instant, he successfully overlapped the face of a female classmate who had been taking care of him from elementary school to middle school with the girl in front of him.

A long time ago, he didn't know how many times he had relived such a smile in his dreams, and how many times he had cursed and despised himself.

Once it appears at this time, it seems that everything can be overthrown and verified.

He only felt that the sky and the earth were rising like an illusion, and everything was frozen into ice, and only this bright smile was real.

The streets, the crowd, the snow on the treetops in the sky and on the ground all drifted out of his vision.

"Sang Jing! Are you Sang Jing?"

He quickly called out that name, and then called out his former title.

"Oh, big monitor, why is it you?"

A smile appeared on the girl's face.

"Okay, I thought you hated me and pretended not to know me on purpose."

From this, Xiao Tao was completely convinced that he really did not admit his mistake.

The one in front of him is his class monitor from elementary school to middle school, the proud girl in the class.

He still remembered that Sang Jing's father seemed to be the director of some kind of bureau. Among the parents of his classmates, he was already considered a high-ranking official.

Of course, it is precisely because Sang Jing has always been favored and valued by teachers as an outstanding student, and she still holds power in her hands.

There will inevitably be serious conflicts with underachievers like him.

For example, check personal hygiene, his black fingernails, unclean ears and eyes, and neck that is always like an axle are the primary targets of strict supervision.

For example, if you arrive late and leave early, talk in class, or fight after class, they will dutifully record and report to the teacher.

Especially what was later implemented as a group of one, a pair of red.

Sang Jing also took the initiative to sit at the same table with him, and the conflicts became more frequent.

She even has to take care of cheating on exams and distracting herself in class.

So Xiao Tao really played tricks on her a lot.

Stuff worms into the pencil case, and draw villains in Sang Jing's textbook.

It seems to have drawn a [-]th line and used compasses to pierce people.

But even so, when the school organizes a spring outing.

Because Xiaotao's family was too poor to afford the boating money, Sang Jing took the initiative to pay for it.

Moreover, the bread, sausages, eggs, and cakes brought by Sang Jing were also generously distributed to Xiao Tao, and even most of them went into his stomach.

Later, he got involved in the society and dropped out of school. Sang Jing came to him a few times to persuade him to go back to school.

Thinking of this, Xiao Tao blushed a little, like a child who stepped on a mousetrap and panicked.

Skimming all the water from the three rivers, it's hard to wash away your shame.

He couldn't help but regretted his innocence and ignorance.

So I hurriedly showed enthusiasm as much as possible, and continued to talk.

"How can it be? It's too late for me to thank you. I think at the beginning, if it wasn't for your help, you would have watched me from behind. I'm afraid I will become illiterate now, and I don't even know the words. Hey, where do you work now? What? With your father as the backstage, you will also enter the big organization, right?"

Unexpectedly, Sang Jing responded very unhappily to these words.

"Fuck you, I'm so worthless. I'm still studying, I'm admitted to the second medical school... No, it's called the Capital Medical College now. So I'm still a year away from graduating..."

While Xiao Tao was surprised, he couldn't help admiring him.

"Oh, you are really good! Is this a university? How difficult is it to get into a university! Let alone a medical student! No matter what it's called, few people can get in anyway. I guess we have all the students in primary and secondary schools. Among the classmates, you are the most promising."

Sang Jing is also very humble.

"Look at what you said, what's the matter? In fact, there are quite a few of our classmates who have been admitted to college, and I know only three of them. You just don't study hard, otherwise, you might be able to pass the exam. However, After all, the matter of studying depends on self-consciousness. If you refuse, it’s useless to force anyone. Then let’s pull it down.”

Of course, this made Xiao Tao feel even more ashamed.

"Yes, yes, I have failed to live up to your expectations, so I have to rely on myself. But you really think highly of me. No matter how hard I try, at most high school will be over."

But having said that, as Ning Weimin's little brother, even though he hasn't really had a personal career yet.

But in the past few years, I have earned a lot of money, and my vision has changed.

At least today's "Xiao Tao" is well-dressed and very decent from the appearance of his clothes.

A fur coat, leather gloves, black sunglasses, a pure black wool scarf, washed white jeans, and pointed leather shoes.

This demeanor almost catches up with the "Little Ma brother" in Hong Kong and Taiwan movies, quite eye-catching.

So Sang Jing didn't underestimate him, but took his inferiority complex from the bone marrow as politeness and humility.

"Oh, don't say that. You look pretty good now..."

Especially when he saw that he was still carrying a large bag of Motorola electronic products in his hand, he was even more surprised.

"What? You have already used such an advanced thing. Just bought it today? It's ok. I have a classmate whose brother is the branch manager of the bank. He also has a pager. I heard it costs several thousand yuan!"

This finally made Xiao Tao feel a little better, and found a little confidence.

"Hey, it's not that exaggerated. This thing is only about 1000 yuan, the service fee is about [-] yuan a year, and the other part is the network access fee, which is about [-] yuan, so add all of them, and it's only [-] yuan..."

"Isn't that exaggerating? Two thousand and six is ​​not a lot. My dad's annual salary is not that much. Hey, by the way, why did you buy so much! How many are there in the bag? You...you You don't work here, do you?"

"No, no, I don't work here. In addition to my own, there are others in my bag. Several of us will use them."

"Several people? Let's put it this way...you are the one who works in a big unit. Oh, your unit is really rich. Just for convenience, you are willing to spend so much money on this. Hey, where do you work? What do you do? Yes? Tell me quickly..."

As a result, under the girl's curious gaze, Xiao Tao was completely dizzy.

If you want to tell the truth, tell Sang Jing that you are self-employed, but you are afraid of embarrassment when you say it.

Especially afraid that Sang Jing's attitude towards him will take a 180-degree turn.

So it didn't matter much, as soon as his mouth bald, he let out a big panic.

"I, my unit, actually... just make do with it, Pilkardon... do you know this company?"

"Ah? Are you kidding! How could you not know?"

Sang Jing's face was full of disbelief and surprise, and then she patted Xiaotao on the shoulder, "I can't see it, you are too good. You actually joined a foreign company to work. And it is such a famous 'number one foreign company'. If our teachers and classmates know about this, they will definitely be shocked."

Then, like a curious baby, she couldn't wait to ask. "Hey, so you're pretty good at foreign languages ​​now, right? What's it like working in a foreign company? It must be more fun than government agencies, right? Hey, by the way, it's said that Alain Delon is going to visit China this year. When is it? Inside your company Is there any news?"

The girl at this time was really innocent, Xiaotao felt embarrassed when she saw that Sang Jing believed his words so much, he hesitated and couldn't speak.

Unexpectedly, Sang Jing misunderstood him. Looking at Xiao Tao's reaction, she thought he didn't want to talk more, and her expression became awkward.

"Oh, look at me, I'm on winter vacation, but I forgot that you're still at work. Did I delay your time? I heard that foreign companies are very strict, I'm sorry. Or, see you..."

Under such circumstances, Xiao Tao couldn't care less about other things in his mind, so he quickly made a statement.

"No, no, my job today is to set up the pager access network, and it's already done. It's nothing to worry about. So what? If you have nothing to do, or, let's find a place to talk, I invite you Eat, it's cold here..."

Unexpectedly, Sang Jing was quite happy, "Okay, okay, I just came out for a stroll today because I was bored. I just came out of the bookstore. I was hesitating whether to go to the newly opened Baihua Market. When we met, we could chat Chat. But, I'm not a girl who spends money everywhere. Let's talk about it first, today I invite..."

But how could Xiaotao have the nerve to ask the girl to pay for it?

Shaking his head like a rattle.

"No, no, let me invite you. You are still in school, and I have already worked. Besides, it is only natural for a man to invite a woman..."

Unexpectedly, Sang Jing was not happy, and frowned slightly.

"What are you talking about? Aren't we old classmates? You are at work, and I know that foreign companies pay high wages. But I am still your monitor. If you want this kind of thing, you are also playing machismo, so let's not go .Today I'll pretend I haven't met..."

As soon as these words were said, in Xiao Tao's heart, a burst of background music appeared involuntarily.

"...we have just stepped into the journey of life, and we often worry that the pure heart will feel lonely. Although it is a long journey, the journey is far away. But there will always be friends, and friends will meet with me. A childlike innocence is a dream, a Childlike innocence is a shining pearl..." This is the theme song "Sparkling Pearl" of "Girl in Red", which was screened in the cinema a while ago.

Not for anything else, just because of Sang Jing's tone, which is very similar to the one who caught him skipping class in the past and refused to let go.

Let him really feel the bright sunshine in his youth.
