Back to the Years When My Father Was in School - Chapter 54
As for whether Lu Zhen finally told Lu Yan the truth of the matter, Liang Ting didn’t know.
The father and daughter seemed to have made an appointment, tight-lipped, never mentioning the matter.
They didn’t mention it, and Liang Ting naturally wouldn’t ask too much. He has always been a well-measured boy.
In the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus in the full city in September, Liang Ting and Lu Zhen entered Q University together and became freshmen of Grade 02.
This year, they also ushered in the first new military training.
A beautiful and passionate college life… it doesn’t seem to be as good as I imagined.
During the military training during the day, he was madly “ruined” by the instructors who took the students for the first time. At night, wearing flip-flops and a few brothers went out for supper, drinking beer… everything was calm.
Shen Kuo and Lu Zhen are no longer diametrically opposed like they were in high school. After college, both boys seem to have grown up a lot.
Yes, they are all grown-ups, they can still be like a child, you hit me, I will kick you…
The days have also become dull and boring.
But Liang Ting knew that Shen Kuo’s life must not be plain.
Good people are very eye-catching no matter where they are. The title of the provincial champion in Beicheng makes Shen Kuo dazzling as soon as he enters the school.
During the military training, his class was right at the entrance of the playground. He stood at the front of the row, wearing a regular and straight camouflage shirt, showing his tall and straight hanger figure, with a tall and straight back and handsome features.
Don’t be too eye-catching.
Every time the girls passed by him, they couldn’t help cutting their hair, or looked at him shyly.
His dark eyes were hidden under the shadow of the camouflage peaked cap, and he looked straight ahead, and his whole body was covered with the words “Don’t get close to strangers”.
This reticent, high-cold fan, on the contrary, aroused the girls’ desire to conquer.
The girls who confessed to him are in an endless stream. After disbanding every day, or when they gather to sing in the evening, he can always receive love letters from girls…
This made Lu Zhen very upset, so there was no need for Shen Kuo to refuse by himself, Lu Zhen would run over excitedly and fend off the peach blossoms for him——
“Go away! This guy is a liar! A scumbag, don’t be fooled by his hypocritical appearance!”
“Don’t look at him now, he is so bad at the bottom, it’s him that Jin Yu’s outside is ruined!”
“Why don’t you believe me, little sister! Oh, you haven’t seen a tall man? Have you? I know many handsome guys and want to fall in love with me. I will introduce you to this man. How about Kei, my brother, introduce to you?”
Over time, the girls began to spread the scandals of Lu Zhen and Shen Kuo…
Sometimes when Liang Ting saw Lu Zhen’s excitement, he also began to suspect that this guy didn’t really hate Shen Kuo, so he wanted to ruin his good deeds. He was…
Help his daughters and daughters to protect their children.
In the hot afternoon, Lu Yan walked out of the third grade teaching building and stood under the camphor tree, holding a letter from Liang Ting from the university in her hand.
The paper is very thin, placed in front of your eyes, shining with sunlight——
“Your dad is really helping you pick stars.”
Lu Zhen is trying his best to hold on to everything she can’t forget.
Lu Yan and Liang Ting became pen pals, which is also amazing.
Such a gentle and considerate uncle has become Lu Yan’s confidant in the process of growing up.
In many cases, Lu Yan would write to Liang Ting if it was difficult for Lu Yan to talk to Lu Zhen, especially during the third year of high school, they communicated frequently.
In fact, she can send text messages to Liang Ting, but the feelings of text messages and letters are completely different. The ancient form of letters can bring a sense of tranquility and solemnity of time.
She touched the letter paper from the south to the north, and sniffed it lightly, as if she could smell the warm sun, breeze and the fragrance of flowers in the south…
And the one she never forgets.
Liang Ting also understands the little girl’s thoughts very well. He always brings one or two of Shen Kuo’s news occasionally at the end of the pen, understatement, without any trace…
It seems casual, and it seems intentional.
“He was selected as the leading standard bearer for military training and looked very energetic.”
“He works very hard, so he goes to the library whenever he has time.”
“I don’t know if it’s an illusion. He seems to have grown taller again. He is at this age. Why is he still growing?”
“I heard that the basketball team invited him to join. Lu Zhen also wanted to join, but was rejected.”
…
These few words, most of the time, Lu Yan avoided or ignored them, but in the winter, she received the last letter of the semester from Liang Ting, the letter said–
“Everyone gathered in the playground for a party. It’s rare that Shen Kuo actually sang a song.”
When Lu Yan saw this sentence, she responded to Liang Ting’s kindness for the first time, and she called him.
On the phone, she first sensibly greeted the uncles and uncles in his dormitory one by one, and finally asked him carelessly: “Does he still sing and what to sing?”
Liang Ting smiled lightly and walked to the balcony.
The green leaves outside the balcony were rustled by the cold wind. Liang Ting turned on the hands-free phone and said, “Listen.”
“Listen to what?”
“The sound of the wind blowing leaves.”
In the southern winter, the green leaves are always new and will not dry up.
“I heard it, you said Shen Kuo sang a song, it’s…what.”
Liang Ting fished enough for the little girl’s appetite, and then slowly said: “She is far away, as if talking to me by the wind.”
He sang it softly.
Lu Yan sat by the bay window with her knees on her knees, watching the white snow like goose feathers floating outside the window.
“She, who is far away, can’t go home again, but I always only have her in my dream.”
Lu Yan covered her mouth, tears streaming down her fingers…
The feelings that have been buried in my heart are pouring out like a tide.
Liang Ting was very considerate and stopped talking. He heard the breathing disorder of the little **** the phone.
“Good night.”
“Um.”
He hung up the phone and stood alone by the balcony, looking at the dim night outside the window, taking a deep breath, calming down the sour emotions in his heart.
He has a secret that he has never revealed.
He raised his head and looked at the dark blue night sky…
The moon tonight should know his mind.
At the end of 2002, a terrible SARS virus swept mainland China. The first case was found in the south, and then it spread to the whole country and even Southeast Asia.
During that time, people were panicked in both the south and the north. Everyone wore a mask when they went out.
Lu Jian also asked Auntie to thoroughly disinfect the inside and outside of the house with disinfectant, and the wolfberry and red dates in Lu Yan’s thermos were replaced with Radix isatidis.
Twelve cases of SARS patients with confirmed infection have been found in Beicheng, with three dead, and the number is still rising.
Unfortunately, as the temperature dropped, Lu Yan seemed to fall ill and began to develop fever and cough.
She was found to have a fever when she went to the school hospital to get the medicine. At that time, the nurse immediately contacted the People’s Hospital in Beicheng.
So Lu Yan didn’t even have time to contact Lu Jian, and was squeezed into the car by panicked doctors and nurses to be quarantined.
Lu Zhen, who was far away in Nancheng School, received a call from her father, saying that Lu Yan had a fever and had been quarantined. He had used all his relationships and was not allowed to see him.
Now Lu Jian was also anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and almost broke into the isolated building.
His darling girl was locked up in that kind of place, with a bunch of suspected patients, and he was crazy thinking about this.
Although the doctor has repeatedly explained to him that there will be no cross-infection and separate isolation, Lu Jian is still not at ease. Later, he directly said to the doctor: “How much do you want, how much money can I release my daughter! I will give you all the money. you!”
The doctor is about to call the police.
In this situation, Lu Jian, who is always accustomed to the situation, couldn’t keep calm.
There are only a handful of people who can survive being locked in…
However, Meng Zhining was calmer. He took Lu Jian out of the doctor’s office and told him not to mess around with himself and go back to find relationships. He found all the relationships he could find. Don’t be vague about the money that should be spent. The most important thing is…
Now we must find a way to meet Lu Yan.
So when Lu Zhen received the call, the whole person was dumbfounded. Putting down the phone, he didn’t even have time to pack his luggage. He ran out of school, ready to go directly to the airport to buy a ticket and take the nearest flight home.
But at the school gate, he was stopped by security.
“Classmates, the school is closed, stay at school these few days, don’t go out.”
“I’m in a hurry!”
“Nothing will work. Two of them died yesterday. They were in our city hospital. The school was temporarily closed. These days, we won’t let other people wait to enter and leave the campus. Please understand.”
“I’m really in a hurry at home, I must go back!”
The security did not let him leave: “Then…there is an urgent matter, go to your counselor to approve the slip, and we can release the person only after we get the slip.”
“There’s really no time! Our counselor is a bitch, he won’t give me a false note!”
“Drink, you student, how do you talk.”
When Lu Zhen saw that they really didn’t plan to let him go, he couldn’t be soft, he could only come hard.
He stepped back two steps and sprinted abruptly, ready to go through the iron gate.
The iron gate was rustled by him, and he hung on the door like a koala.
The security guard saw that he was really going to rush into it, so he ran over with his baton and warned Lu Zhen: “Don’t mess around! We will treat it specially during special times, and we will not be polite.”
“I also have to go home for a special event, and it’s too late!”
Lu Zhen’s blood came up, no matter where they were polite, he climbed up the iron gate.
At this moment, the collar was suddenly grabbed, and a huge force pulled him off the iron gate.
Lu Zhen almost became unstable and fell, and when he turned his head, he was caught from the front by the collar, and his whole body was heavily pressed against the iron gate.
He saw Shen Kuo’s cold face.
He seemed to feel bad, and asked hurriedly: “It’s…who has the accident?”
“My daughter…No, my sister, she, she is quarantined.”
Lu Zhen’s eyes flushed red with anxiety: “I have been quarantined! It is suspected of SARS, and now my whole family can’t see her.”
Shen Kuo’s hand suddenly clenched his fist.
Lu Zhen has to climb the school gate, and the security guards even have to take a baton: “Classmate, if you are doing such a dangerous maneuver, we…really you are welcome!”
Shen Kuo paused, grabbed Lu Zhen by the collar, and said in a deep voice, “Come with me.”
He was very strong, and Lu Zhen couldn’t break free, so he could only let him pull and come to the wall of the back lake of the school.
The wall here is slightly shorter, about two meters high, and the red wall has peeled and faded due to disrepair.
Shen Kuo squatted on one knee beside the wall, turned his head and said to Lu Zhen: “Come up.”
“Go, where?”
“Step on my shoulder and climb up.”
Lu Zhen hesitated for a while, thinking about the situation of his daughter, finally settled, and stepped onto Shen Kuo’s shoulders.
His bottom plate was very stable. After Lu Zhen stepped on it, he stood up and directly supported him on the wall.
After Lu Zhen climbed up, she sat on the wall with her legs apart, turned her head and stretched out her hand at him: “Come on, I’ll pull you.”
“No.” Shen Kuo stood up, stepped back five or six meters, and then dived down. With inertia, he climbed to the top of the wall like this. Finally, with the strength of his arms, he climbed up with both hands.
Lu Zhen looked at his bulging arm muscles, her eyes changed a little.
This man… really **** good.
After the two broke out of the school wall, they stopped a taxi on the street and went straight to Nancheng Airport.
Security checks at the airport were heavy, and many doctors in white coats were performing basic disinfection of passengers, which made Lu Zhen even more nervous, and a large area of his back was wet in the winter.
He and Shen Kuo went directly to the ticket office of the airport, and the price of temporary tickets was a lot more expensive. In addition, due to the shortage of flights during the special period, the price has doubled.
“When you go to Beicheng, it’s usually 10 o’clock in the evening, 900, or wait until tomorrow morning at 6 o’clock, which is cheaper.”
Lu Zhen didn’t care at all, and now he was full of Lu Yan, and said without hesitation: “900 is 900, buy, buy, hurry!”
The conductor immediately issued a ticket for him, then looked at Shen Kuo next to him: “Sir, do you want to buy one too, I have arranged a seat for you.”
“Buy one.” His voice was low and hoarse, and he had already handed out his ID card.
Lu Zhen suddenly held down his ID card and said, “You don’t need to go back, it’s useless if you go back. My parents can’t see anyone now.”
Shen Kuo glanced at him: “Otherwise, do you think I am here at the airport to see you off?”
“Aren’t you here to send me off?”
“…”
Shen Kuo stubbornly said: “Open one for me.”
“Hey, 900 sheets, are you crazy? Where can so much money come from?”
Lu Zhen knew that Shen Kuo’s tuition fees were offset by scholarships.
“You take care of Laozi.” He had already figured out his wallet.
Lu Zhen still felt uncomfortable, and said: “I will go back to see the situation first, and then call you. It won’t help if you go back now. Now that you are isolated, no one can see anyone.”
Impatient, Shen Kuo kicked him and kicked him farther: “Go away.”
After being kicked, Lu Zhen finally stopped stopping him. Seeing Shen Kuo carefully stacking up the ticket and putting it into his chest pocket, he snorted and said, “You were the one who was going to break up. The person is also you…”
Shen Kuo stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows of the airport, sometimes looking at the sunset slanting outside the window, and sometimes looking at the clock in the airport lobby, full of worry, not thinking about him.
Lu Zhen walked over with his arms, stood beside him, and murmured, “Do it yourself.”
“I am doing it myself.”
He replied this sentence hoarsely, and there was nothing else…
Thinking that the girl was suspected of having such a terrible illness, being isolated in a cold hospital, facing the darkness and death alone…
His heart is breaking.
