The section where the subway drilled out of the road happened to pass C City No. 1 Middle School.

This is a gloomy morning. Several huge chimneys in the distance do not smoke, and are the remains of an industrial city.

However, Pippi still felt that there were some inexplicable particles in the wind, so that when he entered the subway and was heated by the heating, he coughed like snuff.

Although passing by his school every day, Pippi always deliberately turned his eyes to the TV tower not far away, or the Jin'an Building farther away. I would rather look at the advertisement above a thousand times than at C City No. 1 Middle School.

But the feet hurt all night last night, Pippi didn't sleep well, and his eyelids couldn't lift up. In addition, Jia Lin was here, a little nostalgic, so he took another look at the long-lost school building.

The tiles on the administrative building were renovated, and the new teaching building was completed. There are several huge banners hanging over the magnificent gymnasium. The first four words are "Warm welcome...". You can hear the school tweeter with your eyes closed. The classroom of the second and seventh high school is on the side close to the street corner, the last one on the right. Tian Xin said that the table and chairs have not been changed, and the 38th line on the table is still there. There are a few nonsensical poems on it, one of which is an old work by her and Pippi. The rhyme and pen are both wonderful and funny. There is also a cartoon next to it. Tian Xin took it with her mobile phone and passed it to Pippi, making her laugh for several days.

The liberal arts class at that time was also called the scum class, which brought together poor students from all walks of life. Pippi is one of them. She didn't pass the first year of high school in mathematics, and she was below forty in physics. The unique language is good, and the individual subject scores are always in the top ten. So the teacher said that Pippi is a liberal arts talent, and he needs to enter a liberal arts class to be successful. Pippi's parents didn't read much, and the teacher's words were imperial decree, so Pippi entered the second and seventh high school.

After one year, I didn't get any results, but I made three friends in the class, namely Wang Yumin, ranked 30th, Dong Xiaoqian, 35th, and Zhang Peipei, 41st. Pippi's own ranking fluctuated from 38 to 39.

The four girls named their small group "Peach Blossom Island" and developed various codes. Get together to chat and jump rubber bands after class. Among the four, Peipei had the best looks and the most wealthy family, but everyone looked down on her a little bit. For a key high school like C City No. 1 Middle School, thirty students are one level, and forty students are another level. In a big class of 50 people, after 40, there will be a poor student, and no one wants to play with the poor student. If you really want to play with them, it will be a little gifted. Zhang Peipei deeply understands the subculture of the second and seventh high school, and is infatuated with these friends. Every morning, I bought a large packet of raw fried sachets, only eat one by myself, and brought it to school to share with my friends.

It was a luxury to eat raw fried buns every day. Pipi has a thin face, so I don't eat it after a few times. I am embarrassed to ask again when I want to eat again. Wang Yumin and Dong Xiaoqian think it should be. When they did their homework, they would copy it for Pepe; jump rubber bands and make games and ask her to play; if someone bullied her, they would gang up and attack her...so they didn’t buy breakfast for almost a whole year, so they kept the breakfast money. Bought a comic book. If they didn't eat Pepe's buns one day, Pepe would be very frightened and would think that they had offended them.

Pippi felt that it would be tragic to be so humble. But I have to admit that Peppa is very good at interpersonal relationships. Sure enough, Yumin and Xiaoqian were more enthusiastic towards Pepe than themselves. For example, on March 3rd, the teacher asked the students to voluntarily divide into groups of three. Yumin and Xiaoqian rushed to ask Peipei, so Pippi had to partner with two other girls who didn't have a good relationship. On the way, they quarreled over the division of labor, and finally broke up unhappy. The annual spring break was ruined. Later, she told Pepe about it. Pepe just pursed her mouth and smiled: "Even this? You don’t want to think about it. Who will accompany you back home every day after school? Do you know how many girls are in this grade? Are people jealous of you? That Wang Xuan, as long as Tao Jialin is willing to smile at her, she will be willing to step back twenty. If you gain something, you will lose, right? Look at me again, for two years for a poor friendship I didn’t eat breakfast seriously, and I suffered from stomach problems.”

"Then you still call it friendship, but it's in exchange for fried buns."

"So I knew for a long time that friendship is not pure, it can be bought and sold. Unlike you and Jialin, childhood sweethearts have no guesses."

For some reason, both Peipei, Yumin and Xiaoqian liked to mention Jialin in front of her. He is a star and everyone wants to be exposed. The relationship between Pippi and Jialin really makes many girls jealous. At least Yumin and Xiaoqian have shown great enthusiasm to Pippi to inquire about Jialin's gossip.

There are two stops from Pippi’s community to the school. Starting from junior high school, parents have discussed letting their two children go to school together. It's safer to have a companion on the one hand. It lasted for several years unimpeded. Later, when I grew up, I was no longer a neighbor, nor did I go to school together, but the two families didn't live far away after all, and they still made appointments to go home together every day. The weather is good, not by car, but on foot.

"The way back is so long, what have you said?" Yumin and Xiaoqian often asked.

Pippi said calmly: "I didn't say anything, just follow him, talk about homework or something.-We are neighbors, and our parents are colleagues. My mother is afraid that I will be unsafe on the road. Ask him to take care of me."

"How old are you and he still has to take care of you?"

"No way, the security in our area is not good, my mother is particularly worried." She quoted the quotation, "Did you read the newspaper the day before yesterday? Our factory fought in groups, bricks were flying in the sky, two of them died at once. Even pedestrians were accidentally injured. "

"Oh my god," Yumin and Xiaoqian, both of whom were born in the design institute family, were frightened at the same time, "it turns out to be like this!"

In fact, the road to school is so long, of course there must be something to say.

Pippi can tell stories, and Jia Lin is the most loyal listener.

In the two years approaching the college entrance examination, Jia Lin's strings always fell tightly. Listening to Pippi telling stories was the most relaxing moment of his day.

Jialin's mother is very disciplined. She will be beaten after taking the math test for 80 minutes. She draws a ruler and scolds: "I call you careless! I tell you not to be serious! Don't come back to see me if you don't take the test 100%! Kneeling and washboard when you see me!" All distractions in the family are forbidden. The four masterpieces, "The Complete Works of Shakespeare", "Home", "Spring" and "Autumn" are all locked in the glass cabinet. I haven't watched "Shooting the Eagle". MP3 is not allowed to buy. Although Jialin and Pippi go together every day, she is not worried about falling in love early. Jia Lin's eyelids won't be so shallow. Pippi is too ordinary, looks too ordinary, grades are too poor, her parents are neither educated nor enterprising, she is a hopeless girl in a hopeless family.

But Jialin didn't understand his mother either. My mother graduated from Tsinghua University. Why is it more brutal to beat up her children than a worker who didn't study.

Pippi, who has no mathematical talent, has a talent for making stories.

Her story integrates various plots and stories from novels, magazines, gossip, TV, and time after time, which is longer than the Yang family. A seemingly insignificant subject matter, after being perfunctory by her, opened the curtain like a rainy May in May. In fact, what Pippi tells are all trivial romantic stories. Taking into account Jia Lin's interest, he added martial arts and suspense. In this way, the sons and daughters have long love, heroes and shortness of breath. It is very lively. She would stop abruptly at the important point again, and listen to the next breakdown.

Therefore, whenever Pippi walked out of school after school, Pippi would see Jialin pretending to be watching posters in the advertisement column. After chatting a few words of homework, Jia Lin couldn't wait to get into the topic: "What happened later?"

Jialin never admitted that Pippi was his girlfriend, and that year was called premature love. However, he also stayed home with her, no matter what others said. They even sneaked to the glass factory on the side of the road to pick up discarded glass bottles, washed them in the ditch and brought them home to raise small turtles.

In the second semester of the second semester of high school, Pippi switched to a table with Tian Xin.

Tian Xin is a study committee member and the only one in the class who was in the top three before entering the liberal arts class. On the first day at the same table, Tian Xin took the initiative to introduce her learning experience to Pippi, and seriously answered Pippi’s various questions: for example, how many hours to study a day, what time to get up and what time to go to bed, and how often do exercises? Degree, the time spent on various subjects, and even whether to drink or not to use Tai Chi. Pippi rejoiced, feeling that he was luckier than Pepe.

Pepe's tablemate is Wang Xuan who is ranked second. Wang Xuan is Tian Xin's good friend, but she is arrogant and doesn't care about Peipei at all. She deliberately turned her body sideways during the exam for fear that she would peek. He even protested to the teacher several times, saying that Peipei loves to eat snacks and affecting her study, and asked why she should be assigned to the poor students. In contrast, Tian Xin is generous and easygoing. Knowing that if the Pippi test is not good, you will be scolded by your mother. When you take the math test, you will share your answers and let Pippi pass the exam. Any question that Pippi doesn't understand will be explained patiently, over and over again, until she understands it. It's no wonder that she is rated as the best student of the city every year! Pippi was convinced by her, grateful and engraved in his heart and soul. For Tian Xin's birthday, she did not hesitate to spend all of her pocket money and bought her a very expensive brown cat.

When Pippi celebrated his birthday, it was June, and it rained heavily. Suddenly City C became a vast ocean. The radio said thunder and lightning flashed outside the door, and a pedestrian was struck by lightning. At the same time, everyone is warned not to trek in the water, because there are several missing sewer covers on C City Street, and there have been teenagers who stumbled and fell into the waterway. The dead body is still not found. However, as early as a week ago, Tian Xin promised that Pippi would come to her home to celebrate her birthday. That day, Pippi’s mother bought the cake and invited a few good friends. The rain was pouring, but Tian Xin came on time when none of the sisters from Peach Blossom Island arrived. When I entered the door carrying an empty basket, he looked very embarrassed, saying that he was frightened by the thunder, and his hands shook, and the fruits and gifts in the basket were dropped. Pippi celebrated his birthday contentedly, but Tian Xin suffered a serious illness and contracted pneumonia. After staying in the hospital for a month, he almost couldn't enter the examination room.

It is enough to have a confidant in life, and the world should treat it with the same heart. Pippi felt that to measure a person's kindness depends on how she treats the weak and not the strong. Everyone who is strong will indulge, and only the weak can be kind. Therefore, Tian Xin is a good friend.

In C City One, the college entrance examination is definitely the most dramatic moment, but Pippi feels that its drama is not reflected in the day of the college entrance examination or the moment the scores are announced, but in the classmates gathering years later.

Although every student refuses to define himself with scores, invisibly, most of them are score devotees. Yes, at that age, the name belongs to the parents, the money belongs to the parents, and the bag that she wears is all the parents', only the score belongs to her.

Among Pippi’s classmates, Tian Xin and Wang Xuan, who have always had good grades, performed steadily in the college entrance examination, and have always been excellent after entering the university. There are always bad grades, everyone is blinded everywhere, the college entrance examination is very poor, but after work, there is a lot of noise. Zhang Peipei, who is already well-known in City C. There is another category of Xin Xiaoju, who has consistently good grades, suddenly failed the college entrance examination, and failed in a university, and became a jobless young man.

The auction that Pippi is attending today is across from a huge street park.

In the morning jogging crowd, she saw an old man wearing a thin jacket sitting shivering on a stone bench and writing something. The old man's hair was messy, his clothes were ragged, and his frowning eyebrows had a strange majesty.

"Uncle Xin early!"

The old man turned and glanced at her: "Morning, Pippi."

"How is Goldbach's conjecture?"

"Soon."

"Uncle, are you cold?" Pippi asked.

"It's not cold." The old man rolled away his trouser legs with a smile, wrapped in a plastic bag tightly and glued it round and round, "Very warm. Pippi, you can lend me a few dollars ?"

"This is fifty yuan. I owed Xiaoju last time. You don't have to pay it back." Pippi took out his wallet and handed him a banknote.

"Thank you," the old man took the money and drew a stack of paper from his schoolbag and handed it over solemnly, "This is my manuscript, you keep it. I won the Fields Award tomorrow, you can sell it for money."

Pippi took it with both hands: "Okay, I must treasure it."

Who says that adults are more realistic than children?

This dirty-faced old man is Xin Xiaoju's father Xin Zhiqiang.

He was a sales clerk at Xinhua Bookstore more than ten years ago and he had never been to college. Because I watched Mr. Xu Chi's "Goldbach Conjecture", I decided to devote my whole life to proving Goldbach's conjecture. He has been certified for five years, but without certification, his wife ran away. After another five years, he was sent to a mental hospital without a certificate. After he was discharged from the hospital, he began to wander around, sleep on the streets, occasionally go home to ask his daughter for pencils and paper, and continue his dream in every corner of the city.

Xiaoju has always admired her father, thinking that he is a genius mathematician, until one day she plucked up the courage to visit a provincial mathematics authority with his father's manuscript. After reading it carefully, the authority told her seriously: "Your father is a genius, but he doesn't understand mathematics."

Xiaoju's world collapsed.

She is the top math in the class, but she behaves strangely and likes to contradict her. The teachers don't like her. Raising hands in class does not call her name.

In addition, her temper is very explosive and she loves to fight at every turn. He is also very loyal and often used by others.

The most important thing is that she lives close to the crematorium and the tomb of the martyrs. Everyone thinks she is unlucky.

Pipi was not very familiar with Xiaoju. Because Xiaoju looks very beautiful despite his shabby clothes. He is ranked seventh and is considered top students. They don't interact with each other on weekdays. And Pippi is still a little afraid of her: Xiaoju holds a big umbrella all day long, and fights with people when she doesn't make any difference. Her main opponent is boys, and she is often beaten by boys. Girls are scared to death when they see her. So Xiaoju has a nickname called "Angry Xiaoju". Everyone secretly regarded her as some kind of unstable factor. In school, she would fight, marry someone, she would commit adultery, when she worked, she would commit corruption, she would commit a crime if she succeeded, and she would take drugs if she failed. She will have a very vivid and thrilling life.

By the way, Pippi’s first encounter with Xiaoju was on the way after school. That day Jialin played ball training, she went home alone. As a result, I met Zhang Peipei who was being beaten in the small alley outside the school. Wang Xuan was the one who beat her. The two are holding and tearing each other's hair. The tall Wang Xuan obviously has the upper forward.

Pippi rushed over without saying a word.

She originally only wanted to persuade her to fight, but then Wang Xuan punched her. She became angry and helped Pepe fight together. But Wang Xuan had studied martial arts, and neither of them were her opponents. Wang Xuan kicked it over, hitting Pippi's heart, and she fell straight down. Pepera was about to run with her, and was led by Wang Xuan's sweeping legs. At the time of the loss, a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of him, and Xin Xiaoju rushed up with her big umbrella. Seeing that Wang Xuan had no weapons, he put the big umbrella on the ground and hit her with bare hands.

It wasn't a fierce fight, because Xiaoju was too strong, and Wang Xuan was quickly beaten by her to the point that she could not fight back. But her mouth was still very hard, yelling to report to the teacher. This report does not matter. As a propaganda committee member, Pippi has been working hard for a year, and the "outstanding student cadres" have fallen through.

Later, Xiaoju released Wang Xuan, and she ran away crying while scolding. Pippi asked Fangzhi carefully. It turned out that Peipei used her hand first, because she couldn't stand the "psychological torture", "behavioral humiliation" and "verbal violence" that Wang Xuan had on her on weekdays, so she decided to beat her up. A meal. Unexpectedly, he is not an opponent at all. Then Pippi asked Xiaoju: "Why did you beat Wang Xuan?" As far as she knew, there was no hatred between them. Xiaoju said coldly: "I usually think she hates me, so I want to beat it." After the incident, Pippi and Pepe were the only ones left to support each other, returning home limply and crookedly, thinking about the future strategy. .

When I met Jia Lin in the corridor at night, Pippi told him what had happened with a bitter face, and sighed at the "excellent class cadre" he was about to get.

After hearing this, Jia Lin didn't say a word for a while, and then said lightly: "It doesn't matter, she won't give a small report. I will solve this for you."

Sure enough, there was no movement for more than a month, and immediately after Pippi got his wish, he got the certificate of excellent class leader.

Pippi asked Jia Lin to eat a popsicle, and asked him worriedly, "How did you solve the Wang Xuan matter?"

"Well, that," Jia Lin said, "I took her to Zhongshan Park."

Pippi was angry: "You sacrificed your hue."

"Well, sacrificed."

"Tell me, what did you do? Kiss yet?"

"what did you say."

"Last time you hit a ball and fell, she ran to the infirmary to get you medicine."

"Is there anything like this?"

"Then do you like her?"

"dislike."

Because of this incident, Pippi is very grateful to Xiaoju, thinking she is mysterious and righteous, and a little admires her. Later, Xiaoju failed in the college entrance examination and scored lower than her, so she did not go to college, mixed in the society, and worked everywhere. They didn't contact, until Pippi entered the evening paper and occasionally went to McDonald's across the road for dinner, only to find that Xiaoju was working there, sometimes as a cashier, sometimes as a hamburger. The two gradually got close.

After the garden, you face a magnificent white mansion with marble steps and white marble handrails, and two stone lions stand in front of the door.

Pippi got the right house number, which is the famous "Taoyuan Business Club" in this province. The winter jade auction where Helan Jingting will participate is held here.

In the subway, Pippi had already turned over the pamphlet Wei Qingtan had prepared for her. There are animal face jade from the late Neolithic period, jade bracelets from the Liangzhu period, dragon jade bibs from the Shang Dynasty, twin jade plates from the Song Dynasty, and many jade carvings and ornaments from the Qianlong period. Of course, there is also the Warring States Jade Tiger that Helan Jingting is concerned about.

Either way, the starting reserve price is more than 100,000 yuan.

She took out the recording pen and interview book from her purse, limped into the hall, and was about to walk in, when she was stopped by a staff member in a straight suit: "Miss, please show your invitation letter."

"I'm a reporter." Pippi took out the interview card.

"Sorry, this is a private high-level club. This auction will strictly control the number of people. The reporter also needs an invitation letter." He glanced at his eyelids blankly. "At the same time, we also require formal dress. These are already in the invitation letter. Confessed."

Pippi felt that "formally dressed" meant that she should wear leather shoes. She originally wanted to wear leather shoes, because her feet were swollen, she could only wear larger travel shoes, which were still very old. In a sense, reporters have always been uncrowned and pervasive. Pippi also consciously followed this rule, thinking that no one would stop her, so she dressed casually: lower body jeans, upper body white sweater, plus a thick down jacket.

She looked around awkwardly, wanting to see if Helan Jingting was here.

I didn't see Helan, but saw someone she hadn't seen for a long time and didn't want to see.

Wang Xuan.

After graduation, bits and pieces of news came through. It turned out that Wang Xuan's father was in charge of economics and had a good background in local politics. Her boyfriend is the eldest son of a rich man. She is ten years older. He has heard that he has proposed to her. Pippi only knew that Wang Xuan had graduated from university and was assigned to the bank, but she didn't know what she was doing.

Wang Xuan, who is carrying a middle-aged talent and arrogantly, is dressed up in brilliant, noble and decent fashion. The handsome man beside her took off her fur coat very gentlemanly, revealing a lake-green hand-embroidered silk robe, with a pale yellow piping wrapped around her not yet full body, elegant and graceful.

Pippi lowered his head, pretending to look away.

Unexpectedly, Wang Xuan saw her and walked over without her companions, and smiled at her as a greeting. Then, half soothing and half provocative, said to the staff member: "Xiao Qian, you open your eyes and close your eyes, just let her in.-She must be a lady, but not from everyone."

Pippi raised his head, looked directly at Wang Xuan's face, and smiled: "Of course I was also invited. ——Otherwise, I am not a big business, how could I break out here?"
