I was excited for a few days to hear that May was coming.
Because we haven't seen each other in more than 20 years.
At the end of the last century, she got married and asked my best friend to be her bridesmaid, and I gladly agreed. The elder brother stopped him, and his reason was very sufficient: "It is very uncivilized to make a bride in some places, the bridesmaids want to be protected, and they are also bullied, you are single and weak, you have no strength, you can't drink, you won't be bullied?" "When my parents heard the reason, they also dissuaded me. She repeatedly assured me that they were more civilized and would never bully the bridesmaids, and that it would be arranged when the time came. So I went, and sure enough, as she said, everything went well, and I took my leave after fulfilling my duties, and seeing her happy appearance, I whispered to her, you must come when I get married, and if you don't come, we will break off our relationship. She said of course I'm going, I'm going to see you get married!
I didn't expect it to be a prophecy.
When I got married, because my brother and sister-in-law's marriage failed, the family was in a mess, and I didn't invite any relatives and friends, only a few sisters. I hope Mei can come and talk to me. I begged repeatedly, but she always excused herself, saying that her husband came back from visiting relatives and couldn't come, and I was angry that she "forgot her friends", so I really didn't contact her again. Later, she called ** or wrote to me, and I felt that our friendship was so precious that it was now broken and could never be restored, so I always ignored it. After a long time, they were busy with each other, and they really lost contact. Even if WeChat is occasionally sent on holidays in recent years, it is always lukewarm.
In fact, as time passed, I have long forgotten that unhappiness, and I always remember our school days. In those poor but fulfilling days, we were rice partners, tofu for two yuan at noon, and two taels of rice. In the morning and evening, it is porridge and steamed buns, with some pickles, and it is very fragrant. Occasionally she eats fish, she eats the head and belly, and I eat the tail and back. She always brought fried noodles from her hometown to eat, and after evening self-study, she was hungry when she made a bowl of fried noodles with sugar, and the dormitory was full of the aroma of fried noodles. In winter, it's called a cold, no air conditioning, no heating, we huddle in a quilt to keep warm, she sleeps on this end, I sleep on the other, you can sleep comfortably until dawn. Both of us are good at learning and never worry about not doing well in exams. I don't like to stay up late and gnaw on books. In my spare time, I asked her to go to the movies, or read some miscellaneous books, read Qiong Yao, Cen Karen's **, read Wang Guozhen's poems, and then write and paint, she is my most loyal audience. We love fantasy and love to play. The grove outside the campus, the moat, my hometown, her hometown, have all left the footprints of our youth.
Who would have thought that in the eyes of classmates, how could such a good pair of girlfriends not communicate with each other for more than 20 years? Although I am angry with her and don't want to pay attention to her, in my dreams, there is always her, always school time.
By chance, I went to the county where my alma mater is located, and saw that the small town was developing rapidly, and my alma mater was only left with a teaching building and turned into a kindergarten. The surroundings are unrecognizable. sighed for a while, and couldn't help but send a few ** to Mei. As soon as she received WeChat, she immediately joined me, and she couldn't wait to come over and get together with me immediately. When I cried like a child, all my grievances melted into tears with my tears. Mr. said that we just cared too much about each other, which is why we held a grudge for so long. I was suddenly relieved.
Then Mei took a leave of absence to come to the party.
I also wondered if we would hug each other and cry excitedly if we were to get together again. Or an embarrassed smile, speechless. No, I must take good care of myself so as not to lose face. However, neither. Maybe there was a foreshadowing before, she really came, really met, we were all calm, just like we just broke up yesterday, and today we met again so familiar, so natural. There is no trace of strangeness and inhibitions. As for me, because I was still sick, my face was haggard, I was dressed casually, and I was not worried that she would laugh at me, and I was not at all uncomfortable.
When we talk about it again, it seems that I can't find anyone so similar to me anymore, just like another me. And I, like another her. When I graduated, I had the opportunity to go to the army, but I didn't make it. But all married to the military. There are about 10 girls in our class who have been engaged in clinical work for the two of us, and we have not been in contact for many years, and we have chosen the same major. Now we are all senior titles, which is rare among those classmates back then. Whether it is work attitude or behavior, we are all similar, the difference is that her personality is softer and tactful on the surface, but a little stubborn in her bones. I, on the other hand, am a little tough on the surface, but sometimes soft-hearted.
Mei said that she always remembered the little poem I wrote to her in the graduation guest book, called "Forget-me-not", so she gave me a big bouquet of flowers, which is the blue I like, and the forget-me-not.
In the evening, I accompanied her to rest and chat in the hotel in front of her house. The daughter said to her husband jealously at home, "Look at my mother, the old classmates are here, and they leave us at home every day to accompany the school, or the old classmates" Hi, she ** knows how sincere our friendship at that time was, how simple it was for many years, how worthy of cherishing!
Friendship lasts forever, long live friendship!
