Chapter 599 Letters From Overseas
When college students reach their senior year, they are like men when they reach their thirties.
Looking ahead, I find that the opportunity for promotion and rapid advancement is looming, which makes me feel itchy.
But looking back, I also find that the regrets of youth are drifting away. I want to work hard to make up for it, only to find that once I miss it, it is extremely difficult to look back.
After Li Ye started the new semester, he found that the atmosphere in the class was obviously different from before.
Some students who used to be very dull and didn't like to communicate with others suddenly became cheerful, laughing and joking with everyone they knew, hoping to become good friends with everyone.
Normally, I would blush when I spoke to a girl, but now I wrote a love letter every day, and read love poems in public, and I read them with great emotion, as if I was a different person.
But more students seem to have grown up overnight. They have changed from youthful and lively to steady and silent, and have become sentimental. They often look at the campus outside the window in a daze, not knowing what they are thinking.
In short, growing pains are ripening these flowers and bones of the motherland at a fast pace. As for what fruits can grow, it depends on personal accumulation and opportunities.
"A letter has come, a letter has come. Both Lao Sun and the squad leader have written."
Chen Xiaoling held two envelopes in her hands and ran into the classroom while waving them. She didn't look like a stable "senior senior" at all.
And those two "overseas letters" finally stirred up the atmosphere in the class.
"Hahahaha, Lao Sun sent me a photo. Take a look. This guy is so brave. He dares to take a photo with a female classmate. Tsk, tsk, tsk. I have to show this photo to his wife later."
"Look, look, the monitor also sent us a photo! What did the postman do? The photo is all wrinkled. Where is the bridge in the photo? Is it the Manhattan Bridge in New York?"
"What New York? Have you seen a world map? The monitor went to study at UC Berkeley, and this is San Francisco."
"How do you know it's San Francisco? Is Berkeley San Francisco? Have you ever seen a world map?"
"I heard what Li Ye said, and Li Ye saw it."
"."
"Hey, have you noticed that from this photo, the lighthouse building seems to be newer and taller than the one in Moscow!
If you look at the cars running on the streets, they seem to be more advanced than those in Moscow, and the lighthouses seem more prosperous than those in Soviet Russia."
"How can you tell from just a few photos? The strength of a country cannot just be judged by who has taller buildings or more cars. Soviet Russia leads the world in science and technology."
As if they had made an agreement, Sun Xianxian and Zhen Rongrong both included photos in the envelopes, more intuitively sharing their joy that they had "arrived safely".
After everyone opened it, they took a few photos and took turns to look at them. Apart from joy and excitement, there was also a touch of envy and loneliness.
Among them, Sun Xianxian and Zhen Rongrong were the first to seize the opportunity. Promotion and promotion are just around the corner.
However, students who stay in China are still worried about whether they can stay in the capital after graduation.
Li Ye waited until everyone else had finished reading before taking the photo.
Sun Xianxian took the photo with a group of classmates at the entrance of Moscow State University, while Zhen Rongrong sent two photos, one at the entrance of the school and one at the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, both of which were single photos.
Li Ye saw Zhen Rongrong wearing a plaid shirt, facing the camera lens. Zhen Rongrong did not have a stylized smile like people in this era when taking pictures, but had a calm face.
Li Ye looked at the photo carefully, wanting to see more details. Unfortunately, the photo was just a photo. The image on it was dead and not clear enough, so he could not understand Zhen Rongrong's eyes.
But Sun Xianxian is just the opposite.
When Li Ye saw Sun Xian's photo, he couldn't help but smile.
Compared to Zhen Rongrong's calmness, Sun Xianxian was undoubtedly excited when he arrived in Moscow. Several hairy girls took photos with him, making him grin almost behind his ears.
In fact, this can also show the difference between the two people to a certain extent. Sun Xianxian is straight-tempered, while Zhen Rongrong's mind is more delicate and rational.
"Chen Xiaoling, can you read their letters to us? Let us know how they are doing in a foreign country?"
"Okay, let me read the squad leader's letter first. Everyone, please be quiet!"
Chen Xiaoling stood on the podium, took Zhen Rongrong's letter and began to read it aloud.
"Dear classmates, since I got off the plane, I have been in shock. Although I have heard about the prosperity and advancement of the West, it is only after I have experienced it myself that I understand the burden on our shoulders. "Multiple"
"The new school is very good. Most of the students are very polite to us international students from the East, but there are also some people whose looks make me feel very dazzled."
"Yesterday when our international students had a gathering, we all sang "My Chinese Heart" together."
Perhaps because the tone of Chen Xiaoling's reading was too low, Li Ye always felt that there was a sense of depression and urgency in Zhen Rongrong's letter.
The Lighthouse Country had already begun to urbanize before the Qing Dynasty was over. Zhen Rongrong suddenly saw countless high-rise buildings from the mainland. You can imagine the pressure in her heart.
[It depends on whether Zhen Rongrong can withstand the pressure. 】
Think about it. Three months ago, Zhen Rongrong vowed to Li Ye that when she came back from the lighthouse, she would treat all her classmates to have a good meal at the Zhao Family Restaurant in front of the school. She didn’t know when the restaurant in front of the school would be. In or out.
"I miss you very much. When I dream, I always think of every bit of my time at Beijing University. I just hope that I can complete my studies and return to China as soon as possible to reunite with you again.
Li Ye once asked me if I would return to China then, don’t worry. Remember to leave your contact information with Li Ye after graduation, and I will treat you all to a big dinner when I go back."
"."
Everyone looked at Li Ye, some frowned and some had unkind eyes.
[How can you doubt our beautiful squad leader Zhen so much? 】
Li Ye looked at Chen Xiaoling, took Zhen Rongrong's letter in surprise, and found that she actually ended with this sentence.
Li Ye couldn't help laughing. He was more sensitive to words and always felt that Zhen Rongrong seemed to be angry.
"Let me read Sun Xianxian's letter again!"
Chen Xiaoling noticed the subtle atmosphere around him and picked up Sun Xianxian's letter to divert everyone's attention.
"Hello classmates, I miss you so much after seeing you in March. I have arrived in Moscow safely. After a few days, I am not happy with what I have seen and heard.
The wine here is really strong and the people here are really good drinkers. The food here is terrible. The classmates here are so enthusiastic. The female classmates insist on dragging me to dance, which makes me very uncomfortable."
"Hahahahaha~"
Sun Xianjin's letter was completely different from Chen Xiaoling's letter. The whole letter was full of "joyful" flavor. Chen Xiaoling only read half of it before making everyone laugh.
Only Li Ye understands that this is a man's habit - to report good news but not bad news.
Whether in Soviet Russia or in a lighthouse, flower growers with yellow skin and dark eyes need to work harder to gain the respect of others.
Only they themselves know the hardships involved.
