Early summer in Yangcheng has distinct characteristics. When you wake up early in the morning, you will be cool, hot and rainy in the afternoon, but it will be very dull at night.

The sky was heavy, and I felt angry when I stayed in the house.

With a pair of white sandals in gray pants, Lin Yi shook his palm-shaped fan to the outside, lit a plate of mosquito coils, and dripped a mouthful of herbal tea and swayed his feet in the evening breeze, making him feel very comfortable, and sighed that life is nothing more than this.

The lights of the middle school tonight were dim, and the school gate was filled with senior seniors who were saying goodbye with tears.

Those reluctant care reminded Lin Yi that the sophomore year that he had just started again was about to become a memory, and he slowly fell into melancholy.

In fact, for Lin Yi, the campus in the 1990s was probably generally quiet.

The enthusiasm for politics has ended. In the song "Long Years" in "Desire", the enthusiasm has just changed from a group of high school students to college students, and is suddenly put into an uneasy environment caused by the market tide.

Full of joy and confusion, anxiety and progress.

In college, we take compulsory courses step by step. In addition to professional courses, non-professionals have common sense of law, classical music, history of the Chinese revolution, Marxist philosophy, international politics, etc.

At this time, there was no word "Chicken Soup for the Heart", and there was no course that repeatedly talked about issues related to life, friendship, marriage and love. It was not more important than that of students in later generations to pay more attention to these personal privacy and sexual liberation.

The relationship between teachers and students is friendly, polite, and keeps a distance. The kindness and casualness of university teachers form a sharp contrast with the strictness of high school teachers, which makes everyone feel respect and equal treatment, and it also has a strange smell.

After the score is finished, the teacher will write it on a small note, giving you only one person, indicating that you pay great attention to privacy.

There was no too much contact between the students and the teachers. They turned around and left after class, as if they had completed the task, and did not "match" with everyone.

Most students lack the experience of dating and having dinner with teachers after class. Only once or twice, the whole class invited middle-aged English teachers to visit.

I still remember this female teacher with extraordinary charm said this during a chat: Actually, the marriage matter, as introduced by others, and both parties have good conditions, and there is nothing wrong with it.

This is a little bit of personal sigh that this female teacher gave in private occasions in everyone's memory. However, how much can you understand boys and girls in their early twenties?

Some middle-aged teachers during this period were quite gentle and kind as scholars. I still remember a teacher smiling in class, "Catching pigs" (promoting pig farming) should not be misunderstood Chinese as "catching pigs" with their hands before translated in English. Someone has made this mistake before.

Perhaps due to treatment, housing and other issues, young teachers nowadays seem to be generally not at ease and want to switch jobs to government departments or large enterprises to work.

Studying well and becoming an official may have been the norm in the 1990s, and perhaps this is why they kept a friendly distance from everyone and did not "match together".

However, Lin Yi didn't care much about their choices, and didn't even think it was necessary to be too close. If they could find a job that they liked better and paid better, they would be happy for them. In general, teachers and students could be considered peaceful.

Speaking of foreign teachers, the American professor who claimed to have taught at the University of California, Los Angeles, seems to have good knowledge. But what is puzzling is that he takes photos and prints them, and charges a few cents per person.

Until now, Lin Yi is still suspicious. If the Chinese were teaching in another area with a very different economic level from his country and living in an apartment where the other party provides services for free, he might be embarrassed to charge a few students one by one.

This is probably the difference between Chinese people and foreigners, and it is also the fundamental difference between Chinese Confucian culture with "benevolence" and "harmony" as the core and Western plundering culture.

After two lifetimes, Lin Yi summarized his life: In addition to necessary professional courses in college, reading, movies and travel are the key factors to improve the realm of life.

In terms of reading, it seems that there is a tradition of the same. Everyone loves to start with literary history and selective reading.

Starting from the oldest British narrative poems, all the way down to Wordsworth, Coleridge...but the complete novels are read extracurricularly.

If you have language talent, extracurricular reading often chooses original English works, which seems to start with more familiar stories like "The Story of Love" and "Jane Eyre".

I really feel that I feel like reading the taste and I like the works of Milton's long poem "Paradise Lost" and Dickinson's poems, as well as Maugham's series of short stories, novels, and Mark Twain's "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" are very childlike.

Some Bible stories written in English were also absorbed in this period. Sometimes, when I was interested, I read works from other countries translated into English, such as Turgenev's "Father and Son".

Later, my personal preferences were narratives similar to personal spiritual history, such as Joyce's "Portrait of a Young Artist" and Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby".

Or allegorical works that reflect on human nature, such as Golding's Lord of the Flies.

It was also from this period that Lin Yi has maintained the habit of reading novels for two lifetimes. A while ago, he read Tie Ning's early work "Oh, Xiangxue" twice. This is really a short story that is both exquisite and warm.

Of course, reading "The Waste City" and laughed and said, "Delete the xx word here", thinking about how to fill the square, which is one of the few entertainments in the dormitory these days.

Not long ago, the senior leaders of the Ministry of Education came to the school to give a report, and they also criticized the "Wasted City" during the report, but the purpose was not achieved, which made the students more interested. It really meant that they would not be able to become a tiger or a dog.

Lin Yi and his gang also heard Jia Pingwa's lecture, who mentioned how he was criticized by public opinion for his release of "The Abandoned City".

While everyone was listening to the lecture, Lao Jia's new book was on sale. The teacher who hosted the lecture "kindly" reminded the students at the end of the lecture: If you don't buy Teacher Jia's books, don't ask Teacher Jia to sign, because Teacher Jia's calligraphy is also very valuable now.

Look, look, whether it is Lao Jia or other teachers in the lecture, they all use the guise to seize economic benefits.

In order to improve students' listening, the charming English teacher will arrange an afternoon every week to screen videos of American movies in the large classroom, such as "Dancing with Wolves", "Home Imperial", "The Disguised Witness", etc.

I have watched the domestic movies "Jupu Dou", "The Big Red Lantern Hanging High", and "Farewell My Concubine" in the library. The domestic movies that will be released will be screened in the school's auditorium at night. Whenever I have time, Lin Yi will buy tickets with the three long-legged women to relive them.

The ones who were more impressed were "Encountering Passion", "Fragrant Soul Girl", and "Lost My Love forever". In winter, the street lights on the campus penetrated the mist around them. After watching the movie, the group shouted and talked about the movie and walked back to the dormitory.

In the lectures given by off-campus personnel, Lin Yi was deeply impressed by him, but it had nothing to do with his major.

Maybe it feels fresh because of the lack of contact: Li Delun talks about music, and Zheng Xiaoying talks about the Women's Philharmonic Orchestra.

Everyone also rode their bikes to see the performances of the folk orchestra, and took the bus arranged by the school to go to the art gallery to watch the "French Rodin Art Exhibition".

There are no "idols" like later generations in this day. "Black Panther" and Dou Wei, Zhang Chu, Lao Lang, Chen Qing... probably everyone admires them very much.

People in the two dormitories once rode their bikes to watch a live performance of the "Tang Dynasty" and saw them swaying their long hair and shouting "Returning to the Tang Dynasty in their dreams"...

This is probably college life, at least Lin Yi's college life.

...

Since the midnight snack, Lin Yi has been prepared to make Sun Nian come and pester him again. But the woman seemed to have forgotten about this and returned to the previous two months.

Whether it is class or meeting it on weekdays, you either nod your head and greet it indifferently, or the woman quietly lets Dao wait for Lin Yi and his long legs to pass by side, and the relationship between the two seems to have changed from a friend to an alumni.

The changes in Sun Nian were seen and remembered by the people in both dormitories. In addition to occasionally joking and filling in boring days, everyone is not surprised.

However, the people in both dormitories guessed in their hearts: Sun Nian had been pestering Lin Yi before, either for fun, but now they were bored, so they gave up.

Or she just played with her and played with her. If this is the case, with Sun Nian's temperament, she must be holding her ultimate move.

Well, in other words, the good show is still coming.

But sincerely, Lin Yi didn't want to see this good show at all, just hoped that this woman wouldn't go crazy anymore.

But what's interesting is that since Leng Xiu was shocked by Sun Nian on the grass, she was so angry that she actually went to learn karate.

Leng Xiu always mutters ruthlessly, such as "washing away the shame", "If you don't get this revenge, you are not a gentleman", "put Sun Nian into a dog's head".

According to the description of long legs, the Korean female coach had a very good karate, one woman to five men, and it was easy to solve it.

...

During the exam days, God seemed to hear Lin Yi's heart. From the early morning, dense water beads fell from the sky like money-free.

Before entering the examination room, Huang Ting suddenly told the two dormitories that they planned to hold a small concert in the bar before leaving school this semester to celebrate the return of Xiangjiang.

Huang Ting also said that Zeng Yi and Linghua were singing together.

This name reminded Lin Yi of someone, so he asked tentatively: "Who is Linghua?"

Huang Ting replied in a muffled voice: "I am a colleague who sang in the bar together. His full name is Yang Weilinghua. He is a Mongolian girl from Ordos. He has a relatively free and easy personality. Our boss attaches great importance to her musical literacy."

It was them, Lin Yi shed tears in his heart. His previous life was really a disaster caused by the "most dazzling national style".

Due to the sufficient preparation, Lin Yi was considered to be well-prepared, and he would not be outstanding, nor would he fail the final exam.

What is surprising is that Ma Pingyan didn't even come to the exam for the last subject, and he didn't know what he thought, so he didn't even look like he did.

You should know that if you don’t take the final exam, you will not be eligible for a make-up exam in the future, so the graduation certificate will be in trouble.

...

After the final exam, Zou Yanxia said she wanted to invite Jin Yan and Leng Xiu to the third floor of the bookstore for dinner. Lin Yi agreed without thinking, after all, there were only a few friends who had long legs.

At the same time, she also told the woman that she didn't need to ask about such things in the future, just make the decision by herself.

However, Lin Yi blinked and added, "The opposite sex and dogs are not allowed to enter."

After the long legs were pierced, he asked softly: "Is this kind of person I am in your eyes?"

Lin Yi smiled and defended: "Hey, what's your IQ? I'm focusing on dogs, dogs, and dogs are not allowed to enter?"

As he said that, Lin Yi took a bite of the washed cucumber, chewed it for a few bites and continued to add: "Of course, the opposite sex is not as good as a dog, and he can't enter it."

"Virtue!"

Kim Yeon's hairstyle has been made and her hair has been dyed golden. It looks very suitable for her people, and it has no charm and looks very good.

According to her own words, she dressed herself up beautifully in order to leave a souvenir for her youth, and planned to shoot a photo album during the summer vacation, and also recorded a record for herself that she would never release.

What Jin Yeon likes to do when she comes to the third floor of the bookstore is to read newspapers and magazines that Lin Yi specially subscribed to. She can stay for a few hours after sitting, and from time to time she is watching on the sofa, she can’t help laughing out loud.

But Leng Xiu is different. Every time she comes, she will take a look. If she can find something delicious, she will scream excitedly, and then ate it "selfishly" on the sofa.

Of course, after two years of getting along, although Jin Yeon and Leng Xiu are very familiar with Lin Yi, they are not very polite in their daily lives. However, they never approach Lin Yi's study door and are very sensible.

For dinner, Lin Yi promised that one exclusive for each person according to the taste of four people.

Then Leng Xiu asked, "Can you really order whatever you want?"

Lin Yi patted his chest and said, "Mr. Lin's words have always been golden rules, and one word is full of calculus."

After saying that, Lin Yi certainly refused to ask for the famous Xiaoxiang dish, chopped pepper fish head. He hasn't eaten it for more than a year. He really tasted a little greedy.

This time, Zou Yanxia did not take care of Lin Yi's taste orders, but prepared her favorite and very special dish, spicy chicken.

However, when the long legs came out, the other three applauded and expressed that they liked it.

Leng Xiu said she missed the green pepper-filled meat from her hometown, but she didn't want to help herself, saying that having three people in the kitchen was enough.

Then Lin Yi threatened that if you don’t help, it will be gone. It will be changed to Hunan cuisine, tiger skin green pepper, and it depends on whether you eat it. If you are reluctant, this cold show, which has never been touched with spring water, is still here.
To be continued...
