When He Smiles - Chapter 12

On the day the notice was received, the school was in turmoil.

There was a mess in the classroom, part of which was discussing the answers and ranking of the test questions, and part of the recent TV series. It has been from the wrong marriage on a sedan chair to chatting with the man to the legend of the sword and the chivalrous man, from the boy Zhang Ga to the **** romance.

The topics between the girls are endless.

Meng Shengnan looked to the back row of the classroom, Li Yan was not there. A bunch of girls were talking grinning, colorful clothes, one beautiful one by one. She retracted her gaze, and someone asked in her ear: “What are you looking at?”

It’s Fu Song.

She said: “Beauty.”

The boy smiled: “Your hobby is really special.”

Meng Shengnan just laughed.

Fu Song changed the subject, with a light voice: “The New Year will be in ten days’ time.”

Meng Shengnan said ‘um’.

“How’s the book reading?”

“I’m finished reading Border Town.”

“What did you realize?”

Mentioning this, Meng Shengnan sighed: “The love of that era was really pure, alas.”

Fu Song looked at her amused: “You said a word and sighed twice, why?”

Meng Shengnan said, “When I think of the last scene, Cui Cui is sitting on an old boat by the river and waiting for the Nuo to send him back. One or two years, maybe a lifetime, I feel very bad.”

Fu Song asked, “Do you think she can wait?”

Meng Shengnan shook his head and said that he did not know.

“What do you think?” she asked back.

Fu Song said, “I can.”

“why?”

“Always wait.” He hadn’t explained yet, the head teacher had already come in. The classroom was suddenly silent, returning to their seats one by one, staring straight at the report card in Lao Shi’s hand. That expression, the word “going through fire and water” is all false.

A minute later, the next few class committee members handed out the test papers.

Xue Lin was jealous and almost crying.

“Meng Shengnan——”

That expression was the same in Shi Jin at that time, but it was overwhelmingly surprised. At that time, the back row was full of excitement, and some guys were very interested in pointing their index fingers to the textbooks. It had been a few minutes, and the books hadn’t fallen down, so everyone was screaming and applauding. He tilted his head to chat with Chi Zheng, and didn’t care what the teacher was saying. Someone passed the test paper from the front, astonished as much as him: “Yes, you.”

Shi Jin took a look–

“My boy.”

Chi Zheng raised his eyes, “What’s the matter?”

The English test paper in Shi Jin’s hand has three red and big numbers written on it-it was the first time in history that he had hundreds of subjects in a single subject, and it was still a resounding 121. In addition to the composition, he was embarrassed to ask for a fifth. outer.

Shi Jin swallowed, “Brother, I’m going against the sky.”

Chi Zheng smiled: “Amazing.”

Shi Jin stared at the three counts, almost stunned.

“I said–” Shi Jin muttered to himself.

Chi Zheng: “What?”

“That girl is really no ordinary person.”

Chi Zheng glanced at him: “Who is that?”

“goddess.”

Just as Shi Jin left the last word, Chi Zheng’s paper was posted.

“How much?” Shi Jin leaned over to look.

Chi Zheng hummed.

That big 29 is impressively on paper.

Shi Jin laughed: “Yes, it’s two points better than last time.”

Chi Zheng: “Go away.”

“That will give you the answer. You don’t want to be silly now.”

Chi Zheng said lightly: “It’s okay.”

“Damn, your mother won’t worry if she sees you and doesn’t beat you?”

“It’s you, brother, that should be worried.” Chi Zheng said.

“What am I worried about?” Shi Jin raised his chin and turned his pen quickly with his right hand.

The person at the front desk answered, “You have suddenly risen by a hundred or so, your mother doesn’t doubt it?”

Shi Jin stagnated, and the pen in his hand fell to the ground.

Chi Zheng arched his tongue to his right cheek and sneered.

Later, Shi Jin changed his method to 78. That’s really bloody, it’s so easy for him to take the exam. After receiving the notice, all the students in the school were almost gone. Meng Shengnan was temporarily released by Qi Qiao and went to the Plaza Bookstore alone.

It was dark before returning home.

The lights in the room were bright, and there were voices and laughter. The gala was busy in the kitchen. As soon as she opened the door and went in, she saw Kang Kai. He and Meng Jin sat on the sofa and looked over together. Meng Jin raised his voice: “What are you doing at the door? See who is here.”

Meng Shengnan let out a soft ‘ah’.

Kang Kai has stood up: “Don’t know anymore?”

Meng Shengnan smiled embarrassedly, “Um, you guys talk, I’ll go see what my mother can do for help.”

Flash people after speaking.

Meng Jin shook his head: “This girl.”

Kang Kai smiled, took a look at the kitchen, and continued talking with Meng Jin.

Meng Jin asked: “I remember that you reported the Master and PhD program at that time, right? It will take a few years to come out?”

“Three years.”

“That’s 25.”

Kang Kai smiled and nodded.

“Do you plan to stay in Beijing or come back?”

Kang Kai said: “I’m not sure yet. I’m currently doing an internship in Beijing Medical University.”

Meng Jin: “It’s so suitable for you to study medicine, Nan Nan can’t.”

“Uncle Meng mean–?”

“I thought about it, and then I gave up. Whatever she likes, let her go.”

Kang Kai looked down and thought for a while: “Girls study medicine very hard, but Nan Nan has liked to read and write since she was a child, and she may not be able to develop well in this area in the future.”

Meng Jin laughed a few times: “It’s rare for someone to praise her.”

Kang sighed.

Meng Shengnan went and asked them to eat at the ceremony. She hadn’t seen Kang Kai for a year, and every time he came back, he seldom spoke. Maybe it was because the girl would be shy when he grew up, and the brother next door was no longer the boy who accompany them when he was a kid.

She brought the washed fruits to the living room, “Dad, Brother Kang, we have dinner.”

Both of them stood up, but Kang Kai declined to leave.

Meng Jin: “Try your sister-in-law’s craftsmanship, what’s the rush.”

The ceremony just came out of the kitchen with an apron.

Xu Ye heard the sound and asked, “Why are you leaving in a hurry?”

Kang Kai smiled and said, “Next time, my sister-in-law, come over and talk to Uncle Meng, otherwise my mother should be in a hurry.”

The ceremony gave a ‘ahh’ and laughed: “Your mother is so temperamental, just wait for you to accompany her to eat the first meal.”

Kang Kai laughed: “Then I’ll go there first, and come back to taste your craft.”

“Yes.” Meng Jin said.

The room was warm and the TV sound was amplified after Kang Kai left. The Meng Shengnan family sat at the dinner table and chatted. Without saying a few words, the topic of the ceremony turned to Kang Kai.

“It is said that since I was a child, I have seen this child like Kang Kai.

Meng Shengnan worked hard to plan the rice.

Ceremony: “You need academic qualifications, good looks, good temperaments, and filial piety. Where can I find them?”

Meng Shengnan almost choked.

The ceremony sighed.

Meng Shengnan drank the last sip of the soup, took a paper towel and wiped his mouth: “I’ve eaten, and I’m upstairs.”

The old way, she slunk away before the ceremony. The stars were scarce that night, and the cold wind was blowing outside, flapping the windows. The sound of fireworks in the distance can still be heard faintly, one after another.

She was sitting on the windowsill, draped in a thick quilt.

QQ suddenly coughed heavily on the computer, it was a friend who added a reminder. She got off the window sill and leaned over to see that she was a person named Philosophy Mouse on the net.

Meng Shengnan thought for a while, then replied: Fu Song?

The message over there was quickly replied: I thought you had to guess for a long time.

Meng Shengnan: I started the philosophical rat. Can you admit your mistakes?

Fu Song returned with a helpless smile.

That was to receive the notice during the day. Although Fu Song English was not so horrible at the time, he still scored a lot of points. So she asked for her penguin number on the grounds of improving her English, and it was also the first time Meng Shengnan was working overtime.

Fu Song: What do you do?

Meng Shengnan: Stay idle and watch the sky.

Fu Song: Oh.

Meng Shengnan couldn’t find the topic and didn’t reply.

After a while, Fu Song news came again.

–Have you eaten?

Meng Shengnan: Yes.

Fu Song: Are you free tomorrow?

Meng Shengnan: What’s wrong.

Fu Song: It’s okay, just ask.

Meng Shengnan: Oh, I’m going to take a guitar lesson.

Fu Song: That’s fine, I won’t disturb you by going to bed earlier.

Meng Shengnan scratched his cheek and returned goodbye.

I can’t sleep at night, and I can’t go in with books. She turned on the repeater and the tape revolved slowly. There were singing voices, and they were sprinkled in the deep and lonely night. In 2003, Jay Chou released a new album, and the song became popular all over the country on a sunny day.

To the ear, the single loop.

‘Once upon a time, there was someone who loved you for a long time. But by the way, the wind gradually blows the distance far. ’

I don’t know when the singing disappeared, Meng Shengnan kept looking for it. She ran a long, long way, and it was dark and she couldn’t see the direction. Someone behind her was called her, her voice was very light and quiet. As soon as she turned around, the sky changed. The wind was also heavy and the rain was heavy, and he was missing.

“Nan Nan——”

The ceremony was calling her.

At that moment, it was already bright. She slowly opened her eyes and got up from the bed. Subconsciously looking sideways, the snow outside the window. There are trees and roofs everywhere, heavy, as if they will fall down at any time.

“It’s up.” She replied loudly.

Dressed and washed downstairs, Meng Jin went to work, and the ceremony was ready.

The two chatted casually at the dinner table.

The ceremony asked: “Are you going to practice guitar this afternoon?”

“Well, the last lesson.”

“I went to the mall two days ago and met your teacher Chen.” Said the ceremony. “She seems to be not in good spirits.”

“Is it?”

“Yeah.” After taking a mouthful of food at the ceremony, he said, “You will greet me in the afternoon.”

“understood.”

The ceremony also said: “By the way, go to your Aunt Kang’s house if you have nothing to do.”

Meng Shengnan raised his eyebrows: “What do you mean?”

“Duoheren learns from the high-achieving students of Peking University.”

Meng Shengnan: “…”

The ceremony laughs.

After dinner, the ceremony went shopping with some aunts in the neighborhood. At that moment, the snow had stopped. Meng Shengnan stayed in the room alone, reading and listening to the repeater, and recorded his interest in his notebook. She watched the Benbian City for a long time, then turned her head back and forth, which was very meaningful.

Before going to practice piano in the afternoon, she ran to the bookstore for an hour with her guitar on her back.

Maybe because of the holidays, there are a lot of people in the bookstore. There are people passing by, and there are several people standing in the small aisle in front of each row of bookshelves. They are holding books and looking down, and there is no sound nearby, but they are indifferent.

She turned a few pages of the book in her hand, looked at the time, and then at the pricing. Someone outside the store listened to the radio, and it happened to be broadcast on the hour: it is exactly 16 o’clock Beijing time. Meng Shengnan put the book away, and walked back out of the bookstore one step at a time. A two-minute walk to Xinjiekou to take a bus, it was crowded as soon as it went up.

By the time we reach the ground, there are already fewer people.

The snow slowly fell to the ground, and after a while it was blown away by the wind. Meng Shengnan got out of the car and walked into the community. She looked at the left and right with careful thought, and finally recovered her heart when she got to the place slowly. Many people arrived at that time, and Chen Si was busy pouring hot water for everyone. It was still the large classroom that was converted into a living room, and Meng Shengnan was sitting on the far side by the window.

It’s a group of guitar enthusiasts, and it’s so passionate talking and laughing together.

“Teacher, I recently learned a new song for you?” a boy said.

The big guy applauded and booed.

Chen Si smiled and said, “Okay.”

More than a dozen people are paying attention.

The boy is a literary and angry youth, and you are at the same table as an old wolf. It seems that the song will never be out of date. From 1994 to the present, ten years ago, it is still a classic as always.

At the end of a self-playing and self-singing song, one by one booed: “One more one.”

Someone called him a folk ballad boy, he blushed and played the first Luo Dayou’s childhood. That is really too long a memory. He sang ‘On the banyan tree by the pond, I knew it was screaming summer’. Singing to a climax, a group of people followed along: “Day after day, year after year, childhood in a daze.”

The snow on the outside gradually fell, and it fell on the ground in a thick layer.

That day, Chen Si taught Zhou Huajian’s classic old song friend, and everyone played a guitar sheet until dark.

Someone asked Chen Si: “Teacher, who is your favorite singer?”

“Jacky Zhang.” Chen Si said.

“Can you flick the head?”

The big guy is booing again.

Chen Si smiled faintly and said yes. She is really a very gentle woman. Meng Shengnan always feels that she is like the sunset and evening river in the poetry, and the chrysanthemum in the painter’s works has a story and is calm and quiet.

A class soon ended, and the students left one after another. Meng Shengnan remembered the instructions of the ceremony and stayed at the end to say hello to Chen Si. At that time, the snow covered the ground to the thickness of a slap, and she waited for someone to go away before carrying the guitar to Chen Si’s side and helping her clean up the chair.

“Thank you.” Her voice has been gentle.

Meng Shengnan smiled.

Chen Si said while busy working: “I saw your mother two days ago, and she bargained a lot.”

Meng Shengnan couldn’t help but smile, “My mother is like that.”

“I remember your mother taught elementary school?”

“Well, it’s been over twenty years.”

Chen Si’s face was gentle: “No wonder I taught you so well, my son couldn’t even catch his personal image during the day when he was mixed.”

Meng Shengnan scratched his cheek with embarrassment, no wonder he always didn’t see anyone in the room. She honestly passed on the words of the ceremony: “When we had dinner in the morning, she asked me to say hello to Teacher Chen.”

“Chinese New Year, I also wish her a happy new year.”

“Ok.”

After finishing packing, the words will be brought.

Meng Shengnan glanced at Daxue outside: “Teacher, I’ll go back first.”

“Okay, go slowly and be careful of slippery roads.”

“Ai.”

Coming out of the house, it was quite cold. Meng Shengnan wrapped in a scarf, stuffed his hands into the down jacket and walked forward with his head down. Both feet stepped into the snow, and there was a dull grunting sound. The surrounding street lights were dim, illuminating the road ahead.

Snow flies all over the sky.

It was less than seven o’clock, probably because of the relationship between the weather and snow, it was already dark, there were almost no pedestrians on the roadside, and there were few vehicles. Meng Shengnan walked very slowly, looked around and stopped. Later, I stood at the intersection and waited for the bus, until the road 502 on both sides of the road came to each other. She swiped her card to go to the last row, looking forward, just a casual glance, and finally saw the person again.

He should have come down from 5○2 on the opposite side, with his head slightly lowered, he is wearing the road, and lighting his cigarette while walking.

The car moved slowly.

Meng Shengnan sat in the last row, half of her body still did not turn around, through the heavy windshield, her sight followed the tall and thin figure to the gate of the community. The snowflakes faded slowly, and so did he, unable to see it anymore. The car was very quiet, with breathing sounds, and the wind blew the glass, shaking gently.

“Happy New Year.” She murmured softly.
