In 91, I went to high school in the county No. 1 middle school at my doorstep, because my parents both worked in the county, and my father was also a small leader in the government.
It's just that my parents were too strict with me, and our family lived in a government family home. Since I was a child, my eldest brother and I didn't dare to take a step beyond Lei Chi, and when we saw the elders, we definitely greeted them respectfully, and we didn't dare to show the slightest disdain when we saw the women and children who were weak.
Although I did behave in front of my parents or acquaintances, I did behave decently, and there were no flaws to a certain extent. But only I know that I am still quite lonely inside, that is, I don't have any real friends.
From elementary school to junior high school, I was an absolute good student just talking about my grades, and to a certain extent, I was proud.
Now that I am in high school, although I am still in a familiar county, I am not as under the noses of my parents as before, and I even studied boarding on the grounds that I was in high school, even if the school is only two or three hundred meters away from home.
The new class, the new faces, didn't give me much novelty. For my classmates and teachers, I still have the attitude of being polite on the surface, but rejecting people in my heart, and the only thing I dare not relax is that my grades cannot regress.
Not long after the start of school, I was assigned by my teacher as the class leader. This position is not surprising to me, over the years, I even have a little disgusted with this title, but if I really let someone else be the class leader, I will definitely not be convinced.
As the class leader, I completed the learning tasks assigned by the school and the teacher one by one, and I never made any mistakes.
When the mid-term exams of the first semester were over, a classmate named Chen Wenjun caught my attention.
Chen Wenjun's dark and thin appearance is not very eye-catching, but he was close behind me in the midterm exam, and his overall score was only three points worse than me. What makes me feel a little more in crisis is that his language and history have some advantages over me.
Although I am arrogant in my bones, I don't have any jealousy for people who really have the ability, and the reason why I have that sense of crisis is more because I am afraid of being surpassed by him and even being reprimanded by my parents.
Since it caught my attention, I deliberately asked for some information about him.
originally thought that he should also be a person with a bit of "background", but the results of the inquiry surprised me, this guy turned out to be from Yanglin Township, an authentic country child.
I am no stranger to Yanglin Township, to be precise, my hometown is there, and there are still grandparents and several uncles living there, and it is only about 20 kilometers away from the county seat.
It should also be because Chen Wenjun is from Yanglin Township, and I feel more "hometown" for him, so I pretend to approach him intentionally or unintentionally.
I have the title of class president, and I have the laurel of the first place in the class, I took the initiative to show goodwill, Chen Wenjun quickly received my kindness, and it didn't take long for us to become good friends.
I am a little regretful that although Chen Wenjun has good results, he is really a bit of a "stuffy gourd" prototype. He generally doesn't talk to people much, and is almost the kind of model who "doesn't listen to anything outside the window and only reads the books of the sages."
As I got acquainted with him, I learned more about Chen Wenjun's family situation, and I understood why he didn't communicate much with his classmates.
It turns out that Chen Wenjun is a "bad cub", it is said that his mother died when he was five or six, and it was all up to his father to pull him up, and the clothes he wore when he was a child were all hundred clothes.
Fortunately, his father went out to work later, and he could barely afford to send him to school, even now, his father is still in the south, and Chen Wenjun lived with his grandfather at his uncle's house.
In fact, before I learned about this, judging from his clothes and the situation of eating in the cafeteria, I knew that Chen Wenjun's family conditions were definitely not good.
But in the end, I didn't expect that he, who was the same age as me, would have such a miserable childhood, so he would be more willing to be friendly with him.
So usually, I will deliberately "ask him" to help me make a meal, on the condition that he will eat whatever I eat, as long as I don't let me run away. I remember that at that time, a stir-fried pork with green peppers was 4 jiao and 5 points, and I had never seen him eat it.
Every weekend, I would also find some excuse for him to accompany me home, not only to have a tooth sacrifice at my house, but also to go around the county a few times to see the world.
I remember when Chen Wenjun came to my house for the first time, he saw the color TV in my living room and asked in surprise: Why is your TV colored?
It was the first time he had seen a real color TV, and he sat in front of the TV all afternoon until my parents came home and he was embarrassed to get up and go to my room.
Just like that, I, who have had almost no friends for more than ten years, and Chen Wenjun have become inseparable good friends.
The advantage of this is that our grades have improved to a certain extent, and I am more solid in the liberal arts subjects such as language and politics.
In fact, it's not that my Chinese grades are bad, it's mainly that I have heard too much about "learning mathematics, physics and chemistry well, and I'm not afraid to go all over the world" since I was a child, so I just ignored them in my heart.
Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it is the third year of high school, and everyone is studying hard, hoping that they can leap into the dragon gate. Chen Wenjun and I didn't have much pressure.
As long as the weekend is off, either I accompany him back to the countryside, or he accompanies me home, we play water rafting by the Zijiang River together, and do not forget to talk about the future together.
I didn't hide my plans, hoping that I could take the road of science and engineering, and said from the bottom of my heart that I am not sociable, and there are no twists and turns in my stomach, so it is more appropriate to engage in some technology.
Chen Wenjun, who is not good-looking, is also not polite to me, saying why is he better in liberal arts? It's because I wanted to be an official in the future since I was a child. When I scolded him for being "obsessed with officials", he said indifferently:
Don't be so cheesy, who said that being an official is not good, one day I will really enter politics, won't I really be able to achieve "tens of millions of mansions, shelter the world's poor people"?
At that moment, his words really shocked me very little.
Because of the three-year classmate relationship, although we are really best friends, it is undeniable that in my heart, I am still a little above him. I was really shocked to hear that he had such lofty ambitions.
In the college entrance examination that year, we did get what we wanted, I was admitted to an engineering university in the provincial capital, but Chen Wenjun was admitted to the liberal arts in the north. Good friends can only communicate by writing letters.
Let's not mention Chen Chen Wenjun first, but after I went to college, the sense of superiority I used to have in my hometown county was gone, and it was replaced by more loss, but fortunately, I didn't feel inferior, and I worked hard to prove myself with my grades.
When I graduated from university, I did not return to my county as my parents had hoped, but went to a state-owned enterprise in a city in the southern part of the province. After that, he also looked for a partner step by step, got married and had children, and his small family settled in this strange city.
Relatively speaking, the city of my hometown has become a foreign land.
It was probably the fourth year of college that Chen Wenjun and I lost contact. Because he went abroad and went to Europe as an exchange student. At that time, communication was really underdeveloped, and we were scattered among the crowd.
In 2022, because my 90-year-old father suddenly fell ill, I returned to my hometown overnight. Fortunately, the eldest brother found out early and sent his father to the hospital in time to be rescued.
I went to my former classmates who worked in the hospital, and they told me: Your father's problem is a bit serious, but at this age, there is no need to toss too much. If your family is willing, you can go to the central hospital, but as for the out-of-town hospital, there is no need for that.
As a son, even though his parents are indeed in their old age, how can they expect him to do nothing? decided to send his father to the city hospital for a look.
Before leaving, the classmate who was the vice president told me: If you want to send the old man to the central hospital, it is best to find an acquaintance, the old man can't stand the toss.
I have not been in my hometown for decades, and I have no acquaintances in the city hospital or even in the city, and my classmates suddenly remembered something and said to me:
If it is difficult for others, but you must have no problem going, do you know, Chen Wenjun is the deputy mayor of the city, with your relationship back then, it is not a matter of phone calls?
Suddenly hearing the news of Chen Wenjun, and even becoming the deputy mayor, brought me a lot of shock. But my father's illness was imminent, and I couldn't think about it, so I took out my phone number and rushed to the city.
My eldest brother drove off, and I looked at the time to see that it was exactly eight o'clock in the evening, so I took out my mobile phone and dialed the number.
It was very smooth, and the phone was connected after two or three beeps, and a steady middle-aged male voice came from there: Which one, please?
At that moment, I was really a little excited in my heart, but I still tried my best to say in a calm voice: I am Huang Feiyue, are you Chen Wenjun?
The voice over there was still unwavering, but after a little silence, he said to me: Are you Lao Huang? I'm Chen Wenjun, I can't imagine that I haven't seen you for decades, you suddenly called me, where are you?
I didn't get straight to the point, I talked about my father's situation, and said that I was on my way to the city hospital, but I didn't know what to do with the city hospital.
Chen Wenjun was silent again, for about a second or twenty, and said to me apologetically:
Lao Huang, I'm really sorry, I've been in a meeting in the province these days, and I can't come back for a while, I may not be able to help you, if I'm not in a hurry, I'll be back in two days.
I hurriedly stopped him and said: Then I won't trouble you, anyway, the hospital's current service should be fine, I'll send my father over to try it first, and I'll look for you if I have difficulties.
Chen Wenjun said okay repeatedly, and there was a knock on the door over there, so I quickly said goodbye and hung up the phone.
In fact, by this time, I didn't have any other thoughts about him. After all, in this era, it is really necessary for those who are leaders to cherish their feathers so as not to be gossiped about.
When I arrived at the central hospital, fortunately everything went well. We took the emergency channel, and we were admitted to the hospital smoothly with a green light all the way.
This was followed by a series of examinations, and three days later, the results came out, which was basically the same as the county hospital, and the doctor asked us how to arrange it.
Considering my father's deeds, which are now a little more stable, we decided to take him back to the county hospital for hospitalization.
After completing the formalities, he left the city on the fourth day and returned to his hometown county.
On the car back to the county seat, the eldest brother didn't know how to talk about Chen Wenjun, saying that he heard your phone call that night that he would not come back until two days later, why didn't he see anyone for two or three days?
Big brother's words made me suddenly realize something. It seems that what Chen Wenjun said at that time really had a lot of moisture!
took out my mobile phone and looked at the unfamiliar number, I didn't have time to note Chen Wenjun's name, thought about it for a while, and silently pulled it into the blacklist.
I know that even though we were good friends more than 20 years ago, now that time has passed, Chen Wenjun, who is in a high position, no longer regards me as a friend......#长文创作激励计划#
