Time flies so fast, a few years have passed, and in a blink of an eye, campus life is coming to an end, and Xiaoli is approaching graduation.

One morning, Xiaoli and several classmates went to tutoring to ask for advice on several key issues when defending their graduation thesis.

The professor is in his fifties, probably almost sixty, and his hair is almost completely white. He is very amiable and treats his students like his own children. His wife, who has been sick all the time at home, has been bedridden, and her son's family is out of town, so he is unable to serve him who is seriously ill in bed.

His mother, the old professor, was so busy that his body almost collapsed.

In the early 1960s, the professor and his family were sent to the countryside. They returned to school only a few years ago after the policy was implemented. The professor is old, his wife is in poor health, and he has almost no ability to move. According to national policies, sons can stay with their parents.

Return to the city to take care of them.

At that time, there were too many people returning to the city, and various units were overcrowded. It was difficult to arrange the job, and people had to wait in line. The professor applied many times for his son to return to the city, but it was not approved and he kept putting it off.

The professor's house was not large, and the bed, books, and some sundries took up most of it, leaving little space. In those days, there were mostly tube buildings, and several families shared a kitchen. Housing difficulties were a common phenomenon.

The professor's wife has limited mobility and lies in bed all year round. The professor is responsible for all the chores at home, including washing clothes and cooking. The professor, who is nearly sixty years old, is getting worse every day. Students like Xiaoli see this and

Urgent in my heart.

Xiaoli and several classmates walked to the door and saw the professor busy with housework. When he saw Xiaoli and others, he stood up and said, "What's the matter? Come in and talk."

Xiaoli saw the small room filled with books and sundries, and her professor's wife lying on the bed. She was a little confused and asked about the thesis, but she couldn't say anything.

Several female classmates hesitated for a while, then quickly helped the professor tidy up the room, clean up the messy clothes, help the professor lift up his wife, and change the damp bedding. Xiaoli and the others were busy for a while, and after a pause, they stood up and left.

After leaving the professor's house, Xiaoli fell into deep thought. She thought to herself that the professor is nearly sixty years old. In addition to teaching, he also has to take care of his seriously ill wife. This shows how difficult the professor's life is.

Xiaoli felt unspeakable sadness in her heart. The professor's son was out of town and could not help. Relying on the professor alone to take care of his wife would be exhausting.

Xiaoli thought to herself that she had to find a way as soon as possible. Without violating the policy, it would be the best way to transfer the professor's son back and reduce the professor's heavy burden.

Xiaoli thought that she definitely didn't have the ability and should find a capable person. Who should she ask to help with this? After thinking about it, Xiaoli thought about Zeng Zhiyuan.

Xiaoli didn't know whether Zeng Zhiyuan was willing to help or not, so she could only give it a try. Xiaoli felt that it was inappropriate to go to Zeng Zhiyuan alone, and it would easily lead to misunderstandings. It would be more appropriate to find a companion to go with.

Thinking of this, Xiaoli made an appointment with her dormitory friends to go find Zeng Zhiyuan. The two of them stood in the place where Zeng Zhiyuan had to pass by every day, pretending to be nonchalant, and greeted passing classmates.

After a while, Zeng Zhiyuan came over and saw Xiaoli waving to him. He walked forward diligently, and the three of them started chatting.

During the chat, Xiao Lishi deliberately turned the topic to the professor and said, "Yesterday, several classmates went to the professor's house. The situation at their house was very sad."

Zeng Zhiyuan asked, "What's going on at the professor's house? I heard that my wife is ill. Is it not as serious as you said?"

Xiaoli's roommate said, "You are such a young man, you never go to the professor's house, and you don't care about the suffering of ordinary people."

Zeng Zhiyuan said, "What did you say? I am a careless person. I am not as careful and compassionate as you women, and I know how to care about others."

Xiaoli said, "Okay, okay, you two should stop bickering and talk about serious things, okay?"

Zeng Zhiyuan said: "If there is any serious matter that requires my help, please give the order."

Xiaoli glanced at her roommate and asked Zeng Zhiyuan, "Can you find connections and transfer the professor's son back?"

He hesitated for a moment and said, "I know you don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything. Since it is the professor's business, I will definitely go all out. However, this matter is not easy to accomplish. I have no idea whether it can be done or not."

Too much confidence."

Xiaoli said, "As long as you do it with all your heart, no one will blame you whether it succeeds or not."

Zeng Zhiyuan said: "As long as you say this, I will try my best to do it."

Then, the three of them chatted for a few more words. When Zeng Zhiyuan left, the female classmate who accompanied Xiaoli said with admonishment and praise, "Who among us in the class doesn't know that you have a wide range of paths and abilities, and you can speak in front of us?"

, there is still room for it, it is too modest. However, you must remember, don’t forget the things entrusted to you, we are still waiting for good news.”

Graduation is approaching, and everyone is very busy. Some students are busy confirming their romantic relationships and staying together all day long. Some students are working hard on their graduation thesis and are very busy. Male classmates with whom they are close are busy entertaining parties and drinking.

of drunkenness.

College life is coming to an end, and students are about to leave the campus and enter the society. The farewell is imminent, and the students can't help but feel a little sad.

Looking back on the years of college life, the imprints left behind will be indelible traces in Xiaoli's life.

Xiaoli was fully prepared and defended her thesis very well, which was well received by the professors.

A few days before leaving school, a friend in her dormitory handed Xiaoli a letter written by Zeng Zhiyuan. It was the only letter Xiaoli received from Zeng Zhiyuan.

The content of the letter was careless; he had been a classmate for several years and had made many mistakes and done many ridiculous things. If he had hurt Xiaoli, he would ask her to forgive him, and so on. A lot of polite words. What made him unforgettable was that Xiaoli

Xiaoli helped him get to know him again. For this, Zeng Zhiyuan expressed his gratitude to Xiaoli. Finally, he said that although they could not become lovers, they could still be friends. After all, they had been classmates for several years, and they still had feelings for each other. He would contact her frequently in the future. Enclosed is the letter.

His contact information.

After careful consideration, Xiaoli decided that it would be better not to reply to the letter, so as not to cause complications and make everyone unhappy.

Later, when Xiaoli returned to her hometown, a classmate who had a good relationship with Zeng Zhiyuan came to Lingnan for a business trip. Xiaoli warmly entertained him. During the dinner, he said: Zeng Zhiyuan went abroad, whether to study or do business. Xiaoli did not ask in detail.

The day to leave school is getting closer and closer, and the students will go their separate ways. Dozens of people in the class took photos.

During the lunch dinner, the professor asked Xiaoli: "The unit you were assigned is very good, why don't you go? It's such a pity. I don't know what you think. Don't you regret it at all?"

Xiaoli replied; "My parents are in their old age and need someone to accompany them. My two sisters have been married for a long time. Although they live in the same city, their workplace is far away from their parents' home. They are usually busy and rarely go back. I am the youngest in the family. If I don't go back,

, parents will be sad. As the saying goes, the old in the world will look towards the young.

Xiaoli's words aroused the professor's longing for his son. He didn't know whether he was talking to Xiaoli or to himself. The professor murmured, "It's rare for you to be filial to your parents. Having children and grandchildren around your knees is a family happiness. It's time to go home."

Accompany them."

Xiaoli didn't know how to answer the professor. Thinking of asking Zeng Zhiyuan to help with his son's affairs, she vaguely felt that it could be done and said in a comforting tone, "Professor, everything will be fine. Your son may be back soon."

The professor looked at Xiaoli with helpless bitterness on his face, sighed and said, "I hope so."

Xiaoli looked at the white-haired professor with a haggard look on his face, her heart felt like a stone was weighing on her, and she was so heavy that she couldn't breathe. She silently picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.

Xiaoli returned to her hometown and was assigned to a government agency. The office director was a middle-aged woman. Maybe it was because Xiaoli's father used to be the main leader of the municipal party committee. She was very good to Xiaoli and cared about her very much. Office work was not rigid.

Indicators, loose and loose, drinking tea and chatting, welcoming people to and from people, and sending out documents.

Xiaoli's major is not suitable for her, and she has no use for the professional knowledge she learned in college. She has nothing to do all day, and she feels like she is just messing around.

After graduation, for half a year, the classmates contacted each other more frequently. As time went by, the contact gradually became less and less. Maybe it was because of busy work.

Several classmates who have good relationships have kept in touch. Some classmates went abroad for further studies, some went to do business, and some worked honestly in the workplace.

Several classmates have lost contact and seem to have disappeared from the world. No one knows where they went.

One afternoon, the director called Xiaoli to the office. As soon as she sat down, the director handed her a cup of tea and said, "Xiaoli, is your work going well recently? If you have any difficulties, don't worry, just tell me directly."

"Auntie, it's very smooth, there's no difficulty." Xiaoli continued, "My colleagues are very nice, and they are willing to help me if I don't understand anything."

"That's good, that's good." The leader said in his habitual spoken language.

Speaking of the office director, she is a very nice person. She never does things in a sloppy manner. She is strict with her work and is considerate to her subordinates. She is a seasoned person who is well-rounded in dealing with people. She understands the instructions of her superiors well and is innovative. She is lenient to her subordinates.

He is strict and has a good sense of proportion. He is deeply appreciated by his superiors and loved by his subordinates.

If her subordinates make mistakes in their work, she will point them out, never criticize them by name in public, and can help you find out the reasons for the mistakes in a timely manner. Her unspoken style of acting is both feared and respected by her subordinates, and her office work is

, the arrangements are well organized, colleagues get along harmoniously, and there are few conflicts.

What she couldn't tolerate the most was gossiping. Once, a colleague mentioned that another department leader had an affair with a subordinate. She heard it and was almost kicked out of the office. Afterwards, the colleague burst into tears and made a profound self-reflection.

, stop only when you are good at it.

The only thing that the director nags is to ask her subordinates to take time to read more books, enrich their knowledge, and cultivate their moral character. She often says that uprightness and purity are the standard for measuring a unit. Speaking more broadly, this should also be the case for a human being.

"Why don't you speak?" the director asked Xiaoli.

"Auntie, do you have a problem with me?" Xiaoli said cautiously.

When Xiaoli first came here, the director told her that she could use her official title in front of her colleagues and call her aunt in private.

"It's nothing serious, I just want to talk to you. How old are you this year?" the director asked.

"I'm twenty-two years old, I'm actually twenty-three years old." Xiaoli replied.

"Do you have anyone?" the director asked.

"I'm still young and haven't found a partner yet," Xiaoli replied.

"You're not young anymore, it's time to find a partner." The director said.

"Auntie, don't worry, let's talk about it in a few years." Xiaoli said with a blushing face.

"You shouldn't be anxious. Parents should be anxious. Am I right?" the director said.

"My parents nagged me a few times, which made me a little annoyed, but they never mentioned it again." Xiaoli replied.

"Don't blame your parents for being nagging. They are all doing it for your own good. Parents all over the world are like this. Let me ask you, do you have someone you like?" the director asked.

"Really not, Auntie." Xiaoli replied.

"Don't let your parents worry about marriage. If you find a suitable partner, settle it as soon as possible, and your parents will be relieved." The director said in a caring tone.

"Auntie, don't worry, your parents won't worry about you." Xiaoli replied.
