In less than half a month, everyone's acceptance letters arrived one after another. Autumn Beam and Huang Zhitian both entered Jiangcheng University of Technology without any surprises, and both of them majored in chemical engineering. Dong Ting was admitted to a well-known university in Beijing. Originally, she had wanted to apply for a university in Jiang City. According to her own intentions, she wished she could be in the same school or even the same class as the two of them. However, her college entrance examination scores were high, so her parents helped her choose a university in Beijing. She couldn't argue with her parents about such a big matter in her life, so she could only listen to them.
Knowing that they would be separated sooner or later, it was inevitable that she would feel a little sad, so she especially cherished these last days together. The Lizhou area was popular with the " Golden List Banquet ". The " January 15th " and the " April 14th, 24th " were the days when banquets could be held. There were many students in Class 6. If there was a banquet every other day, it would take more than two months to eat. However, everyone lived far away from each other. There were people in all the towns and villages in Lizhou. It was indeed inconvenient to travel around. However, the people of Class 6 had always liked to gather together, so many of them brought a change of clothes with them for the banquet. Eating like this for a day, staying for another day, and then driving out of another house on the third day, it could really be said that there was no end to the feast.
Sure enough, they didn't have to wait long. The first banquet started at the end of June. Ni Fang's house was the first stop. She and Qin Qin were both admitted to the Jiangcheng University of Technology. Jiang City was the provincial capital and was close to Lizhou. There were many students in the school in Jiang City.
Like Dong Ting, Ni Fang was also one of the girls who liked to join in the fun. Her grades had always been good, and her best friend Qin Qin often occupied the top spot in her grades. Her parents were also very confident in her. As soon as she filled in her application, they started to prepare a banquet, regardless of whether she would definitely be able to get in.
Her house was very remote and she needed to transfer to a few cars. Fortunately, Lizhou was located on a plain with developed transportation. It was not a big place, so it only took some time to change cars. That day, Autumn Beam and Huang Zhitian arrived together, so they thought they were the earliest. They didn't expect Qin Qin to arrive a day earlier. The adults would come to receive them, so Ni Fang was busy greeting her classmates. Coincidentally, the two girls were also good at " flooding ", so there was nothing else to say. The four of them pretended that there was no one else and began to play cards.
It was almost noon, and all the students had arrived. Relatives and neighbors were all close guests, so Ni Fang's parents arranged for a banquet. Everyone took their seats. The host was the special seat. They squeezed into three tables, two for the boys and one for the girls. Then, the dishes were served. The first bowl was served with peanuts as usual. According to the custom of Lizhou, the person with the highest seniority at the table had to eat first. The other tables were fine as they had already started eating. Only the three tables of the students could not move. Since they were classmates and of the same generation, it was not good for anyone to move first. Seeing that the students were too reserved, the class monitor spoke up," Logically speaking, I'm the class monitor. I'll eat first. I'll take responsibility…" No one cared about this. They only hoped that someone would start this as soon as possible and save everyone from their misery.
However, the class monitor was not in a hurry. He steadily raised his wine glass and smiled evilly."Let's do it this way. The boys will serve a bowl of food, and we'll drink a glass. Then, we'll finish our drinks and eat our own dishes. There's no need to say who's going to eat first.”The boys all raised their glasses and downed them in agreement. Autumn Beam downed the cup and picked up her chopsticks to eat the peanuts. However, before he could eat, the others were so fast that the bowl had already been emptied.
Autumn Beam was not convinced.
As soon as the second bowl of spring bamboo shoots was served, he quickly poured the wine and swallowed it, but even so, he still did not make it in time to eat the last piece. Several times in a row, he didn't eat a single bite of the food. Fortunately, the chicken and duck that he didn't like were served, so he wasn't in a hurry. However, she drank too much and the alcohol hit her head. Her face was burning hot. Seeing that his favorite steamed braised pork with rice flour was served, he braced himself and swallowed another mouthful, but he could no longer drink it. The wine cup was not empty, so he could not eat the vegetables, but the meat had already been eaten.
"Forget it, he's too ruthless. He's simply an animal! Were they all good-for-nothings in their previous lives?”
Autumn Beam decided to stop playing. He didn't care how the boys looked at him. He moved a stool and squeezed into the girls 'table.
The girls were shocked. Not only was his face and neck red, but his ears and arms were also frighteningly red. The girls were all very close to Autumn Beam and were all afraid that something would happen. Actually, other than her face, Autumn Beam's body was normal. Her limbs were stable and her mind was clear. Seeing so many ladies staring at her with no lack of concern, Autumn Beam was instantly delighted. She said without thinking,"Don't worry, beauties. I'm fine, but seeing a beauty in my arms, I can't help it. I'm not here to be a bystander. I'm here to eat.”When he said that, the girls couldn't get angry. Dong Ting picked up the plate and poured the vegetables into his bowl.
"I want that red braised pork!" The girls all avoided fat meat, so the plate of red braised pork had not been touched yet. The plate was far away. Dong Ting stood up to take it, and Xie Ling held her hand.
Autumn Beam stared at the meat and giggled." Thank you, haha." No one knew who he was thanking.
During the banquet, Ni Fang went to each table to toast. As they were eating, they arrived at this table. Everyone immediately stood up, including Autumn Beam.
"Everyone, eat and drink well!"
"I wish Student Ni Fang success in her studies!"
After greeting the guests, Ni Fang saw that Autumn Beam seemed a little drunk and advised him to go to his room to sleep. Although Autumn Beam's alcohol tolerance wasn't as high as others, four or five glasses of beer wasn't enough to reach the bottom line. He was still very clear-headed. To show that he was not drunk, he poured a glass of wine from the boys 'table and raised it over his shoulder. He said to Ni Fang,"I wish Student Ni Fang a bright future!”After saying that, he downed it in one gulp. At this moment, the alcohol had worn off and he could drink a few more glasses.
The girl sitting next to him didn't want him to drink anymore, so she brought some tea and forced him to drink it to sober up.
After lunch, the students gathered around a few tables of mahjong. The tables were filled with "flood" and it was very lively. From the banquet to the banquet, these students had been very noisy, attracting the attention of many guests. However, the students were happy and did not care at all.
At dusk, they had dinner and then played cards. At night, dozens of people stayed at Ni Fang's house to sleep on the floor. He lit the mosquito coil and turned on the electric fan. The room was filled with people lying next to each other. It was a spectacular sight. The next day, some people went home, while others continued to play cards at her house. On the third day, those who went back and those who stayed went to Liu Xin's house. Thus, the banquet continued. Autumn Beam had been drinking as little as possible since that day. He was also afraid of causing any awkwardness.
Speaking of which, Dong Ting's table was the most lively. Her family lived in the Urban area, so transportation was the most convenient. His parents were teachers, and he had a lot of connections. That day, there were 45 tables. The cement space downstairs was filled with tables covered with red cloth.
After that, the Lizhou Re-entry Center started classes. Almost half of the students went, so the banquets after that were much quieter.
"Sigh, only 10 people came today.”
As the number of people decreased, Dong Ting became more and more anxious. Throughout the day, even though she tried her best to pretend to be happy, there was always a sense of depression in her heart that could not be removed. It was already August, and the school started on the 27th. She had to rush to Beijing on the 25th. For the past few days, she had only attended banquets one by one. She never went, nor did she dare to find out what day it was.
Huang Zhitian and Autumn Beam could also feel her emotions, but there was nothing they could do. Perhaps " all good things must come to an end ", and what should come to an end would eventually come to an end. Just like the Grand View Garden in Dream of the Red Chamber, singing and dancing day and night would stop one day. Even if you have pavilions, even if you have talented scholars, even if you have wealth and splendor, once your dreams are broken and the building collapses, you can only fall to the end of the world. On the other hand, he could at least know that the other party was fine and could imagine where the other party was at the moment and what they were doing. When things don't go well, they can encourage each other. Happy things could be shared with each other immediately. Such a separation was not a separation. "A bosom friend at sea is like a neighbor at the end of the world.”Perhaps, one day, when students from all over the world recalled interesting things in high school on QQ, they would truly understand the meaning of this ancient poem.
However, the heavens still couldn't bear to mistreat cute girls. The students at the repeat center immediately sent good news through text messages. The Beijing Olympics started on August 8th. The repeat center also had three days off to let the students go home to watch the opening ceremony. Zhi Tian decided to hold his family's banquet on this day. Presumably, everyone would be able to attend. Dong Ting was overjoyed. It had only been a few days since they last met, but she felt like she was looking forward to seeing an old friend.
The days with hope passed especially quickly. Time was like a cheerful rabbit. There were still a few days left, but in the blink of an eye, it was already in front of him. On the 7th, Ting Dong called Autumn Beam and invited her to Zhi Tian's house. The three of them, three people and one shadow, traveled together wherever they went. In their first year of high school, someone gave them the nickname "Three Swordsmen". High school students were still very innocent and didn't have many evil thoughts. Everyone knew that they were brothers and no one gossiped. However, adults were different. Out of consideration for their children's studies, they would inevitably make a mountain out of a molehill when they encountered such a thing. Even if he didn't say anything, he was always on guard.
Seeing that Dong Ting was the only girl, Mother Huang sized her up carefully.
As long as she took a few glances at them while they were playing cards, Mother Huang already knew Dong Ting very well. This girl was meticulous and not fierce. She also looked cute and was doted on by everyone.
As they played cards, Mother Huang moved the electric fan and brought them tea. She even brought them a plate of iced watermelon.
"Dong Ting, eat more. If it's not enough, ask for more. "Haha!" Mother Huang laughed so hard that she couldn't close her mouth.
"Thank you, Mother Huang. It's okay. You can rest. We can do it ourselves.”Dong Ting was embarrassed by her hospitality.
"Yes, if there's anything you want to eat or drink, ask Zhitian to get it for you. If you don't have it at home, go to the supermarket to buy it.”With a smile, Mother Huang went out. Before she left, she checked to see if the door was securely fastened. These few days, there was a breeze blowing in, and the hot summer was a little cooler.
"Dong Ting, eat more. If it's not enough, ask Zhi Tian oppa to buy it for you. "Haha," Autumn Beam laughed and said to Dong Ting in the same tone as Mother Huang.
"Go to hell!" Dong Ting picked up the watermelon rind on the table and pretended to throw it at Autumn Beam.
" Ah!" Autumn Beam also pretended to be shot.
