the most beautiful time

Chapter 11 Youth Wanders on an Endless Journey

When I was studying, I stayed in the dormitory, and the six girls formed a small world after closing the door.

Sansan likes to put on makeup. Every day before going to bed, she walks around in the hallway with a black, white and green facial mask, making people look sideways.Xiao Si loves music. On weekends, when he sees a handsome boy passing by on the balcony, he throws down his love song, just like the rich lady who threw a hydrangea ball to attract her husband in ancient times. Her singing voice is charming and enchanting, and we can always feast our eyes on it. , admiring those boys who couldn't help but stop and give affectionate attention to the 223 dormitory.Liuliu is obsessed with words, and in the dead of night, she scares us into bed with weird chrysanthemum appointments, afraid to come out to see her cat-like shining eyes.The boss is the most stylish, very close to home. Every weekend, when he goes home to improve his life, he doesn’t forget to satisfy our hunger. He uses a lot of snacks to make the table rich and rich. Occasionally, a stray cat will smell it Fishy smell, came and made sexy noises outside the window, trying to tempt us to throw a salted fish down.The second child loves celebrity gossip, and she can talk about Faye Wong's love history in more detail than the archives. She is also good at inspiring our feelings about love. , leading us who are still ignorant, to approach the highland of love and romance.

We share everything except the boy we have a crush on or a daring pursuit of.Eye cream, instant noodles, skirts, fruits, gossip, hairpins, stockings.Xiao Wu wanted to eat instant noodles, so he opened the drawer of the second child, took out a bag of Master Kong and ate it.The second child would give her a blank look, annoyed her and said that she belonged to a mouse, that there was not enough stealing food in the online farm, and he wanted to covet other people's delicacies, moreover, he would never return.Little Wu didn't care about these things, and ungratefully revealed the faults of the second child while eating, saying that she owed herself a Haagen-Dazs when she failed in the bet, so eating instant noodles is really helping others, and helping her repay the debt .Sometimes the two would chasing each other lively in the dormitory. The Liuliu on the upper bunk, who was muttering words in order to pass CET-[-], was annoyed by them. He poked his head down and beat each of them with a book, but they couldn't reach them. He laughed and scolded "Little Fairy", plugged in the earphones, and continued to wander in the sea of ​​words.And I sighed, straightened the chairs they had knocked down one by one, cleaned up the mess all over the floor, and drew a big ugly face on the name of Xiao Wu on duty to show her public protest .

Occasionally there are real quarrels, like the little girls in the house, complaining about each other’s narrow-mindedness for a little rouge or lipstick, or blushing and defending because of their favorite stars, and who gave more glances to the handsome male host at the party , And jealousy.Every time such a small dispute, the elder of the house will come out to solve and appease. After the mediation, the two girls are intimate again, like a newly married couple, going in and out in pairs, completely forgetting that they raised their eyebrows just a day ago Cold right, blame each other.But if the boss has static electricity friction with someone, then the other four of us will become judges, sit at the dining table in the dormitory, conduct a public trial of the boss's crimes, and finally give a judgment that makes the boss unable to appeal. in conclusion.When criticizing the boss one by one, we still shamelessly ate the sugar-fried chestnuts sent by her father, as well as the beautifying jujube and papaya, and knowing that today is the boss’s duty Sometimes, there are leather shells all over the ground.Sometimes during the interrogation, the oldest and most charming father called and asked us if we had eaten the snacks he bought. One of the chief judges, Liuliu, never forgot to flatter me, saying that my father is really nice and never Let our mouths be idle.The boss listened from the side, gave her a white look, and said bitterly: Be careful, I will sue and expose the crimes that you judged me, next time I won't even be able to eat chestnut shells.

Of course, he knows that the big-hearted boss will never say a bad word in front of "our dad".It was when we both fell in love that she was left alone and often went in and out of the cafeteria and library lonely. At the bed talk meeting we said that when we first kissed her body trembled, she covered her head and pretended to be asleep, and even made a slight tremor on purpose. Snoring, at this time, she still cleaned up the messy dormitory left after we went on a date without complaint.

When we graduated, our love was divided between labor and swallow, or flying together. Only the boss had never had love because of his humble appearance.She was the last one to leave the dormitory, sending us away one by one, and cleaning up the last mess we left behind.Sansan gave the boss a set of French cosmetics, then hugged her and cried.What is the boss talking about crying, crying with makeup on, the female ghost in Liaozhai is no longer alluring.Xiaosi recorded a song dedicated to our common "dad". The boss listened to it and said sourly: "Dad is so liked by the other 5 girls, I'm really a little jealous."The broken-hearted Liuliu said that if you marry a man, you should marry someone like your father, and if you marry a wife, you should marry a wife like your boss.The boss punched Liuliu while Xiaosi was singing, but tears flowed down his face without saying a word.

Now we have been separated all over the world, and we have never returned to the 223 dormitory.The boss once secretly visited that warm room. She said that she could still smell the smell of sugar-fried chestnuts, so clear, sweet, fragrant, and warm, like a sad flower blooming in summer.

In the year when Yang Chao's "Journey" was shot, SARS had just passed, and the campus was filled with the joy of surviving the catastrophe, but in this joy full of disinfectant, I returned to the anxiety of SARS.The imminent graduation, the job with nowhere to be found, the dying love, and the postgraduate entrance examination that I don’t know whether to continue, all these make me become Guo Ping or Chen Sixu in "Journey", knowing that I don’t know The journey was full of all kinds of uncontrollable difficulties, but in order to avoid another blow, he embarked on a longer and boundless road.

The boys and girls in the film, carrying the hope of their parents, fought hard for four years on the battlefield of the college entrance examination, but they always ended in tragic failures.In order to find their own future, they jumped off the train heading for the next college entrance examination, turned around and ran to another imaginary road covered with golden sunshine.

With the money to buy review materials, they set foot on the train to Wuhan, intending to find the miraculous Ganoderma lucidum cultivation technique advertised in the newspapers, and use the large sum of money they earned to win passionate youth.On the way, they experienced the punishment brought about by fare evasion, witnessed a robbery in the dark, and were driven off the ship by the boss of the boat that took them halfway for free, like a disaster.After an arduous journey, they successfully arrived in the river city of Wuhan, but were ruthlessly told that the technique of cultivating the ganoderma lucidum was just a hoax.Disappointed, they found another way to get rich - extracting steroids, and bought steroid strains at a "discount" from a person who claimed to be Sister Zheng.But after a week of experiments in the bomb shelter, they got a pile of residue, and finally realized that they had been cheated again.

Unwilling to let it end like this, they planned to return to Wuhan to seek an explanation.Without the toll, they got on their bicycles and set off.The free bike trip, like a relaxing spring outing, makes them very excited, but soon they are scared by a gang of hooligans who ransacked the long-distance truck and beat the driver.Like the pair of shoes thrown away in panic, all the leisure and leisure in their hearts were thrown on the long national road.When they found the middle-aged woman, she refused to admit it.In the soft and hard bubble, the boy and a local gangster who tried to strike up a conversation with the girl got into a fight. The woman who was afraid of causing trouble finally threw them half of the fee and sent them away from the place.

On the way back, when the boy was chased and beaten again, he finally realized in despair that besides continuing the college entrance examination, he could never find a way to be truly recognized and respected by others.The girl, however, has strengthened her determination to go out in the face of hardships.When they returned home, the boy's parents gave him 2 yuan to go out to work to make a living by himself, but he used the money to enroll in the best cram school; He gave up his desire to continue studying, and decided to go to the south to work without hesitation.The boy who once promised the girl to go to work together, under the pressure of morality, went south with the girl on foot against his will.During the trip, the boy's physical exhaustion made him overwhelmed, while the girl, after her physical limit, developed an unprecedented courage and faith.After quarreling again and again, the girl finally left the boy one night and went south alone.The boy, instead of continuing to look for the girl, returned to the repeating classroom.

At the end of the film, the girl is on the side of the road and buys a tender chicken that the boy promised to buy for her. Holding this weak life in her hands, she smiles and walks away.

I recommend this movie to my 17-year-old brother. Like the boy in the movie, he is waiting for the roaring train of the college entrance examination, smashing his dreams one by one; Great helplessness and sadness, tightly entangled.He tried to take a shortcut to the college entrance examination by studying art, but found that he had no talent for painting at all; he wanted to drop out of school to go to a vocational high school, but was severely reprimanded by his parents; The conclusion of the science brain; the girl he has a crush on, basically dismisses him with poor grades; his hard work and hard work grades are still wandering in the lower reaches.After watching this movie, he asked me on Q with infinite sentimentality: Sister, will my journey end with flowers?

I know my brother wants a perfect answer, yes or no, just like me who was confused back then.How can I let my young brother understand that the purpose of travel, in fact, is not to reach the peak or the end of the scenery, but to be in this journey that mixes anxiety, loss, confusion and occasional surprises and excitement , he will discover the meaning preceding the purpose.And this is the growing pain that he can't really understand now.

And just like ordinary people do, use the warmest words to comfort his hesitant heart in the unclear itinerary.I said, little brother, you will go there, as long as you are brave enough.

Yes, if there is anything in youth that can take us forward, it is bravery.Like, the girl who went on the road alone without hesitation.
