Chapter VII

19840923 diary*

Today is Sunday. I was listening to crosstalk in the morning when Li Hongtao shouted. I looked at him, but there was a man behind him. Looking forward, it was my mother. So I was so happy that I went forward and called "Mom". She twisted a bag in one hand and told me, "go, buy you clothes." I was not allowed. She said she had come on purpose, so I went with her, walked through the department store, walked through the vegetable market, and came to the clothing store. She asked me to choose. There were two women, one was 30 years old, and the other was about 20 years old. I first chose a pair of pants, blue or black, for more than 11 yuan, I'm very satisfied. These pants are quite popular. After I bought it, she asked me to buy a coat. I just didn't allow it, so she forced me. I didn't know what it was like. I said I was grateful. It wasn't enough. She was my mother, so I knew it was maternal love. The salesperson picked one for me. It was too liberating. This pocket and that line were said to be suitable for young people. I didn't like it very much. My mother asked me to try it on, so I wore it. She said it was more elegant. I said no, so I picked again. At that time, I saw a light yellow coat, which was a suit style, and said yes. My mother thought it was acceptable to wear it, so she paid me 18 yuan. On the way, my mother said she would buy me a watch. I quickly said No. She knew the time at school. She said that my little uncle had a watch, but the case was broken. I didn't say anything. She said that my sweater was well knit. It was cute and thick. I said I would go back on the national day. When I got to the dormitory for a while, she left. I took her to the station. After I bought a ticket at the station, I left. As soon as I went out, she caught up with me and told me to study hard and pay attention to my health. I promised one by one and left.

My mother came with thirty yuan and love for me. My mother left with clothes and love for my son. What can I give my mother? Thank you? Nonsense! She is my mother. Do you repay her? Yes, what will you do in return? Grow up and make money? Of course it is necessary, but it is too tacky. Can the love between mother and son be measured by money? So I thought of learning, right! Study well, start a career, become a family, honor our ancestors, and make people know my family and my mother. Mother, do you know?

Today, I was wearing new clothes, so sun Guanghai said; "Straight", long Xuezhong grabbed me and looked at it for a while. Lihongtao said, "I don't know you. I can only tell when you call me." taichenghua said, "I've gone on a blind date." Wang Feng said, "it's nothing to say when I see my suit." so I thought of crying. You know, it's the sweat of my parents. I felt like a real man when I wore it. One morning, my good friend didn't come. I was very disappointed. How I wanted her to know. When I saw her in the afternoon, she wasn't surprised. As usual, she didn't even look at it, let alone appreciate it. I suffered a great injustice. Alas, how can I become vulgar? What about my study? What about my career? I was shocked by my ancient prose, Tang poetry and Song poetry, and almost went wrong. "You should learn more." I don't know who was shocked, so I woke up, found the ancient poetry, and smiled happily.

At noon, I had dinner with Chen Bin. Chen Bin suddenly said he wanted to go to the movies, so I said I would go too. He asked aloud with a little pride, "really?" I told him yes, so I had dinner with him. When I got to the cinema, there was a rush. I bought two tickets and a dime more for melon seeds, so I started watching the movie. It was the story of transporting tigers made in the Soviet Union. It was very interesting, and we laughed. Later, I found that the movie was not good. Although Chen Bin had been laughing, I lost my smile. After watching it, I went back to the classroom and just had class.

Before the evening self-study, Chen Bin wanted to take a walk with me, so he walked around the playground, then went to the toilet, where he met XURUI. XURUI said, "I saw you pee here for the first time." Chen Bin said, "it's not the first time in fact" (I went there once in the afternoon). I also said, "I've just been here." when I thought about it, I said, "he said he'd seen it for the first time." XURUI nodded and I said, "it's the first time I've seen you." XURUI nodded.
