i was my mistake

(One)

Saturday, February 22, [-].

The tail of the Spring Festival is over, and the last semester of high school is about to start.

The couplets and lanterns in the streets and alleys are the last vestige of the Spring Festival.

The willow trees by the lake sprouted new shoots, and the rows of bare branches also had a breath of life again.

Spring, a season of revival of all things.

Spring, a season to say goodbye to the cold winter.

Spring is also a season for people to clean up and prepare for a new start.

Wan Qing, with her soft and long hair, stood by the window of the corridor and looked into the distance. In the slightly hazy morning sun, the mountain was a piece of fresh green, with red flowers and green trees covering the riverside lightly. The pavilion is as beautiful as a picture scroll.

The beauty of the Jiangnan water town is not as shocking as the vast plains of that day, but it will always be discovered by people inadvertently, and then it will show the astonishment that seems to exist only for a moment.

When you come back to your senses and want to take another look, you find that you can't find the same perfect angle as before.

The warm and humid spring breeze slightly blew Wan Qing's long hair at the temples, Ye Chen looked against the light, and saw the silhouette of the girl's Miaoman body, which aroused people's infinite reverie.

She turned her head, those green eyes matched the spring when everything was revived, for a moment, Ye Chen even felt that this was the spring girl who brought spring.

She smiled softly, and the wind only gently blew her long hair and the corners of her clothes, without disturbing Ye Chen to stop and look at it for a while.

"Ye Chen, what are you doing standing there? Jinyu is already waiting for us downstairs."

"Oh!" Ye Chen suddenly came back to his senses, and walked quickly towards her, walking from the dark corridor into the sunny spring.

The bicycle has not been ridden for a winter vacation, Ye Chen squatted down, carefully checked the condition of the bicycle, pumped up at the small repair shop downstairs, and wiped the paint with a clean rag. It was shiny enough to reflect light again, just like when I first bought it.

The three of them did not go into the city center, but rode towards the suburbs.

The farmers are busy sowing the spring seeds, and several old cattle are plowing the ground slowly, flicking their whip-like tails.

Obviously these suburbs and rural areas are very close to the city, but there seems to be a clear dividing line. Every time you step into the suburbs, it is like entering another world.

Ye Chen, who is riding a bicycle, greedily breathes the spring air. Although she has been going out this winter, only now is the moment when she has the feeling of leaving home and enjoying the freedom.

"Ha-oh!" She yelled strangely, completely lost the girlishness she showed a few days ago, and turned back to that young boy again, "What a cool wind!"

"Yeah."

"The farmland and the mountains are turning green little by little." Zhao Jinyu lightly pressed his lace straw hat. Although it was tied with a rope, he was still worried that it would be blown away by the wind.

"Spring is so good, winter is so cold!"

Although people always tease that City H only has summer and winter, in fact, it is indeed a city with four distinct seasons.

People who live here will never experience aesthetic fatigue with nature, because it will always undergo earth-shaking changes after you are tired of seeing it.

"Wow—look—" Ye Chen couldn't help raising his face and exclaimed when riding past a small hill.

The small low hills are covered with red and pink-white camellias, and in between, there are many small yellow wildflowers dotted--that are actually winter jasmine.

The speed of the bicycle slowed down a little because of the beautiful scenery. Not far away, a stream flows down the mountain. The mountain wall next to the stream is full of rhododendrons that are more red than camellias.

——Looking into the distance, it turns out that the mountains and plains are full of spring flowers.

Red, green, yellow, white, purple... Flowers of various colors bloom alternately, full of vigor and vitality.

Wan Qing gently hugged Ye Chen's waist, and sighed sincerely: "This year's spring came very early."

Along the way, I also saw some factory buildings being demolished, and the memories belonging to the workers' children seemed to be gradually erased, leaving only a few fragmented fragments in the memory.

"It's all demolished." Although Wan Qing had already learned about the future from Wan Qing, she still couldn't bear to see these things with her own eyes.

Even the outer walls of the steel mill where my father had been working had been knocked down, exposing the yellow bricks inside.

It looks like it's about to be demolished.

"Will that big chimney still be there?" Ye Chen couldn't help muttering to himself looking at the big chimney like a landmark building.

"Not anymore."

"Ah... I can't see it puffing out smoke anymore."

"However, there seem to be a few small chimneys that will remain and become a boiler room for boiling water."

"The biggest...how did you dismantle it?"

"Use a big bulldozer, push gently and hard..."

"What kind of gentle force..."

"That's the feeling, and then it will collapse, crash, become a big pile of broken bricks, lie on the ground for more than half a year, be cleaned up and transported elsewhere, and then other things will be built here gone."

"It's that simple?"

"Yeah, it's that simple."

"Uh... will the dormitory building be demolished?"

"Yes, but it will be 20 years later."

"After all, I still can't escape."

"But at that time, people were looking forward to demolition one by one."

Fortunately, the steelmaking plant in City H is not really going to disappear forever, but has been moved to more suburban land, and the scale of the plant will be much smaller, but it will still continue to operate, unlike many other factories. After being "divided into corpses by five horses", he completely disappeared.

The steel mill in H City is huge.

It is connected with the road, and people who live here even feel that it is an inseparable part of this land.

But it is ultimately separated.

Some buildings that have not been demolished have also been changed, changed their names and surnames, and become new private property.

——The original workers' auditorium was converted into an activity center for the elderly, the original workers' cinema was converted into a new era cinema, the original workers' bathhouse was converted into a public bathroom, and the original cultural and sports activity center was converted into a gymnasium...

Only those schools have not changed their names, they are still called Boiler Factory Kindergarten, Textile Factory Primary School, Steel Factory Junior High School...

The dormitory of the steelworks still looks the same, with the words "steelworks dormitory" still printed on the doorplate with the factory dust remaining.

It's been a bit deserted here recently, many people have moved out, and those who have been allocated houses, although they still live here, have to find ways to find new jobs.

Downstairs in the dormitory, there is a small shop that sells cheap department stores. The three of them rode so far just to buy some stationery here.

Although the stationery here is cheap, it is not so cheap that it makes people travel all the way.

In the final analysis, Ye Chen still misses 'home' a little.

Regardless of whether this is her home or not, at least she has lived in the dormitory building since she was born, and her father's co-workers are everywhere, and all children of the same age know each other, and her best friend Yang Zeng also lives here...

For her, this place is more like home after all.

The old lady who runs the canteen hasn't changed much, she still looks in good spirits.

The items in the commissary are cheap, but the quality is okay.

Here, there is nothing more than a dollar, which is the children's treasure house that seems to have infinite treasures.

"boss?"

"Hey, what do you buy? Let's see for yourself." The old lady who was knitting a sweater with reading glasses slightly raised her wrinkled eyelids, and said cheerfully, "Go inside and look, and you can't see anything outside." .”

There is a lot of space in the canteen. In fact, the goods are only half of the space, and the remaining half are a few tables and chairs, so that children can directly enjoy snacks here, or play for a while on the potholed table. beads.

At this moment, two children who looked like they were in the third grade of primary school were playing cards, yelling 'chirp', exaggeratingly adding skill sound effects to their game cards, and then clumsily counting the damage with their fingers for a long time result.

This noise did not make the old lady feel impatient.

I haven't been here for a long time, and there are two more game consoles in the corner of the canteen, one for playing King of Fighters and the other for playing pinball.

The machine for playing pinball is very oblique and long. Just put in a coin and flick it lightly, and you can watch the pinball leap out. The old lady exchanged for a super gift bag full of cheap snacks.

Sunlight shines into the house through the green glass windows, and the vines on the walls are extraordinarily green, but the color in the room is a bit dull.

It's clear that spring has arrived, but it still looks like winter in the canteen.

Maybe there are not enough windows, maybe there is too much humidity, or maybe there are not a few pots of green plants...

"How do you play this?" Zhao Jinyu was very interested in that pinball game machine, but after searching for a long time, she still couldn't find the coin slot, "I didn't see a place to put money."

"Oh, that." The old lady smiled cheerfully, "That's for playing with the bottle cap after drinking the glass soda. Glass bottle caps are fine, and beer caps are also fine."

"Well... what's the reward for success?"

"A large snack gift pack." The old lady pointed to the snack gift pack in a red plastic bag, which seemed to have been covered with dust because it had been left for too long, "Hehe...Of course I would like to order another bottle of drink instead. That's fine too."

Wan Qing looked at the few types of stationery, the fountain pens were all [-], and the style was the most durable one.

When I was a child, I always felt that the fountain pen here was smoother than other places, but today she took one out to try to write on the cardboard, but the ink broke, and there was a feeling of stagnation when writing.

——Not as good as I remembered.

The second volume of "The Pavilion of Flowers and Willows" is finished!

Please look forward to the third volume "No More Regrets"!

"Volume [-]" no more regrets

1. Lame Yang Zeng

Monday, August 1997, 2.

first day of school.

It is also a very special day for high school seniors.

Although the college entrance examination in 97 was in July, a month later than the later ones, it still made people feel the approach of the college entrance examination.

Even students who had planned not to take the college entrance examination were inevitably affected by the tense atmosphere.

And the first class on the first day of school is the class meeting in Guangqiu Hall.

He looked amiable on weekdays, but today he tapped on the blackboard very seriously: "Students, it is already the last year of the third year... the last semester, there are not many days left, I know, many of you are in the fifth class , I feel that I have no hope, so I have to muddle along, as long as I have a diploma, the college entrance examination is indeed like a thousand troops crossing a single-plank bridge, but you are not even willing to go through such a difficult time, and it will be too late to regret it later! "

The blackboard was banged loudly, which made Class [-] and Class [-] of Senior High School, which was as noisy as the vegetable market just now, suddenly quiet down.

"It's the last semester. Even if you try hard enough, you won't be able to get into university. If you go to those technical colleges and professional schools that train skills, it will be easier to be admitted. Not all technical colleges and training schools are rich. , some also depend on your scores in general culture subjects, right? It’s not that if you fail to pass the university entrance exam, your hard work will be in vain, and even if you fail to pass the entrance examination, if you have the opportunity, you can repeat the grade. If you don’t work hard, you will not even have the opportunity Can't see, will your parents agree with you repeating grades? Ah?

"If you really, ah, really don't want to study anymore, don't affect others. In our last semester, the school can arrange for you to practice in various places. If you do well, you can stay there to continue Do it, and don’t have to worry about not being able to find a job after graduation.” Guang Qiutang held up a stack of application forms in his hand, “You, you don’t want to go to school, you don’t want to study, you have no hope at all, you come to me to fill it out This internship application, don't waste time, arrange for you to go to the internship early, and then you can step into the job quickly, and it will also help your life, ah, I'm serious."

The students in the audience were silent.

Even if someone is disdainful in their hearts, they only dare to curl their lips secretly.

"Ah, Jiang Xing, what are you scratching your head for? Do you want to apply for an internship? If you want, I can give you this form now."

"Ah? No... I just have an itchy scalp..." Jiang Xing gave a dry cough, and put his hands on the table squarely, as if he didn't dare to move carelessly.

"Is there? If yes, come to the office to find me before this Wednesday. You are welcome at any time. I am not being sarcastic. It is also very smart for you to think about your future, so come to me at any time. If you don't come to me, The default is to study hard, so study hard for me, it’s the last semester, don’t listen to others, it’s useless, it’s still useful, as long as you work hard, do you understand?”

"Listen-clear-white-"

The students dragged out long voices, and some of them even deliberately cadenced yin and yang.

"Dong dong." There was a dull knock on the door.

"Come in!" Guang Qiutang calmly looked at the door of the classroom.

The students all looked around in the classroom, wondering which unlucky guy was late at this time.

And I didn't arrive at school until the first class started.
