After graduating from middle school， Mei and I were still the best friends among our female classmates. Because she is beautiful and lively， she has a strong interest in music. She likes singing and dancing. She is tall， has beautiful dancing postures， and enjoys good popularity. She has always been the backbone of literature and art in the school. I am willing to make trouble and laugh with her. In 2024， when we both took the college entrance examination， Mei and I failed to reach the undergraduate level， so we decided to restudy together for one year. Just this summer vacation， Mei and her parents and family moved out of the countryside and settled in a small town， which is the county seat of our county. It has changed its name to Zongzhao City. I'm sorry. In 2025， Mei and I will take the college entrance examination again. After our scores are obtained， we will make slight progress compared with that in 2024. However， both of us are still not on the undergraduate level.

Mei and I went to cram classes and culture cram schools to prepare for the college entrance examination again in 2026.

Although Mei and I are in the same Zongzhao City， we are not together after all. When we miss each other， we call to ask for help and often talk on the phone. The winter vacation was coming soon. Mei tried her best to invite me to visit the city. I was very happy to make the appointment. Mei went to the bus station to meet me. The bus station is not far from the high-speed railway station， but it is a long way from the downtown.

I sat behind Mei's electric bicycle and hugged her waist. The electric bicycle soon went up the busy boulevard. All the way to the north， it passed through NorthGate， crossed the city wall， then passed the Hulu Bridge on the river， crossed the moat， and came to a good new community， Baihe Home. The opposite side of the community is Beihe Park.

I live in Mei's house and sleep on the bed in her boudoir at night. Fortunately， it is a warm winter this year. Mei and I sleep together in the same bed. I am very excited， and Mei is also very excited. Anyway， I can't sleep. Two 20-year-old girls are crowded in the same bed with endless whispers. Mei and I whispered about something that happened during the summer vacation.

It turns out that Mei's aunt and Mei are in the same neighborhood， and they are the two buildings next to each other. Mei and her parents are in Building 24， and her aunt's home is in Building 25. There is Mei's best friend and cousin Ju in her aunt's house. Ju has a cousin， Zhu， who lives in Putuo District， Shanghai. He is a sophomore of Shanghai Jiaotong University and studies in the School of Mathematics and Mechanics. During the summer vacation， He came to visit his uncles and aunts and visit the scenic spots of Zongzhao City.

Just on that day， Mei went to visit her cousin's house and met Zhu. The first time Zhu came to Zongzhao， Mei and Zhu did not know each other. Zhu wore boundless eyes and was also a tall man. What a handsome little brother！ Ju introduced Mei and Zhu. Mei is Ju's cousin， and Zhu is Ju's cousin. Zhu is one year older than Mei. Ju said that he should have known this relative since he was very close. One was in Shanghai and the other was paddling in a small town. It's not too late to know each other today. Ju said that from now on， Zhu is Mei's brother and Mei is her sister. Then Ju's parents， Ju， Mei and Zhu， had lunch together. Then Mei， Ju and Zhu and Mei's uncle played cards all afternoon， talking and laughing.

It was agreed that Mei and Ju would accompany Zhu to the scenic spot tomorrow. Unfortunately， Ju fell down the stairs at night. Although it was no big problem， Ju's ankle sprained. Ju hung up the phone to Mei when she was lying on the bed and asked Mei to come home early tomorrow morning to be a tour guide for Zhu. Mei readily agreed to come down.

After breakfast the next day， Mei dressed herself up with theout makeup. Mei knew that she was born beautiful and had a natural beauty. Mei put her hair back in a very natural bun， and another strand of hair rolled down along the front of her ears. A bright red coat was added outside the miniskirt. The length of the coat was longer than the miniskirt， and the skirt of the coat was not connected. Two thin long legs are slim and graceful， and a pair of high heels is very special. They are quietly fixed on Mei's feet by a beautiful ring on each ankle.

When Mei arrived at her cousin's house， Zhu was ready. Mei told her brother Zhu that there is a street in Zongzhao downtown from east to west and then to south， called Hongyeli Avenue， which is composed of four sections， namely Yeting section， Anyi section， Huachuan section （Huachuan Road） and Xiannanjie section turning south. Both sides of the street are full of red leaf plum trees. The spring is colorful. Unfortunately， it is summer now. My brother Zhu has no such fate， but the red plum avenue in summer is also good. All the scenic spots of Zongzhao are like a string of pearls scattered on both sides of Hongyeli Avenue from Anyi Road. From the west to the east， there are Jiading Bridge on Songjing River， Pu Songling's temporary residence， Confucius Temple and Dai's Ancestral Temple （Zu's Ancestral Temple， a cultural relic protection unit in Jiangsu Province）. The section entering Huachuan is Huachuan Garden， Linggu Temple （Ningguo Temple）， Longtan Park， and then the ancient county government office. Zhou Enlai's Youth Reading Office， the ancient theater and the Babao Pavilion are located in the south section of the county street.

梅：啊呀，我的竹哥哥。你这样作曲可是大聪明，已经不是小聪明了。

竹：Just  so  so  嗷。（一般般），一般，一般，世界第三。

梅哈哈大笑，腰也直不起来。

竹：我不行，和那些作曲大师们不好比。

梅：竹哥哥，你说几个给我听听。

竹：好吧。王立平，维扬菜大厨。第一次听《牧羊曲》，我就担心烧不熟。但是，上菜后，不但熟了，而且味道很棒。用这样的火力，100个厨子，99个半都烧不熟，高手高手高高手，功力深。赵季平，川菜大厨。第一次听《红高粱》，我就担心烧糊掉。但是，上菜后，不但熟，没糊，而且味道很棒。用这样的火力，100个厨子，99个半都得烧糊掉，高手高手高高手，功力厚。谷建芬，著名大厨。擅长各大菜系。高手高手高高手，功力深厚。

梅：竹哥哥，你是如何想到的啊？

竹：所有的学问其实是相通的，因为都是人的学问，《人学》。人的一生当中，其实只有两个问题：一，人生意义。二，我从哪里来，我到那里去。

梅：竹哥哥，怎样来探究这两个问题呢？

竹：读书。读万卷书，行万里路。谈人生意义的书籍很多，如上海辞书出版社周国平教授的《人生哲思录》。要回答第二个问题，就要先回答“生命从哪里来”，可以看英国查尔斯-达尔文的《物种起源》，追问下去，就是“宇宙是怎样起源、演化和终结的”大问题。探讨这个问题，我主要看三本书，都是重庆出版社出版的，美国阿尔伯特-爱因斯坦的《相对论》，英国托马斯-赫胥黎的《天演论》，还有波兰尼古拉-哥白尼的《天体运行论》。

梅和竹边玩边笑，边说边闹，过了中午，都不知道。

忽的，竹突然重复哼起了《小薇》里的“我要带你飞到天上去”。梅的心“咯噔”一下，脸“唰”的一下就红了。红到耳根。梅和她的竹哥哥心知肚明，“我要带你飞到天上去”的前一句是：“小薇啊，你可知道，我多爱你”。梅红着脸，心“扑通、扑通”跳个不停，怎么办？怎么办？于是，带着不知哪里来的勇气，梅把牙一咬、心一“横”，反正是自己的竹哥哥，就上前用自己的臂膀挽住了她竹哥哥的臂膀。梅在心里狠狠地想，竹哥哥，你重复，我也重复。你哼，我也哼：“你主宰，我崇拜，没有更好的办法，只能爱你，You  are my superstar！”（SHE你是我的超级明星《You are my  superstar》）

走进百禾嘉园小区时梅和竹臂膀挽着臂膀，肩并着肩，就差手拉手啦。这一切吸引了百禾嘉园小区居民的众多眼球，同时，也被梅母和菊母看在眼里，放到了心里。

两个老姐妹向梅和竹发出了最后通牒：必须一刀两断，决不藕断丝连！

梅和竹两个年轻人都惊呆了！咫尺，天涯。近在咫尺，却远若天涯。牛郎织女，银河相隔。王母娘娘，天上有一个，而在人间却又两个。

竹已经呆不下去了。决定立即返回上海。梅执意要去高铁站送行，梅母坚决反对。梅据理力争，梅和梅母吵了起来。这时候，梅父来了。

梅父：好了，好了，不要再吵了。经梅父和梅母仔细调查、反复认真研究，终于作出如下决定：现同意梅去高铁站送她的竹哥哥。此复。年月日。

梅：爸！

梅一下扑进梅父的怀里，痛哭起来。

送行的这天，一切尽在不言中。

长亭外，古道边。芳草碧连天。晚风拂柳笛声残，夕阳山外山。天之涯，地之角，知交半零落。一壶浊酒尽余欢，今朝别梦寒。（“今宵”变成了“今朝”，说明是早晨或者白天的高铁车次）

不知不觉中，天亮了。梅把故事也讲完了。用过早餐，梅一路把我送到了百禾嘉园小区的南门口，梅还要继续送下去，我没让。

我独自走出小区的南门，沿着信保路（鑫宝路）一直向东，来到信保路和白田中路的交汇处，这里是公交站。开往终点站（纵棹高铁站和长途短途综合汽车站）的286路公交车将经过这里。

等公交车的时候，我哼了《渴望》：有过多少往事，仿佛就在昨天。有过多少朋友，好像还在身边……如今举杯祝愿：好人一生平安！

哎，“曾经沧海难为水，除却巫山不是云”啊！

啊？这不是286路公交车吗？我要上车回家了。

拜拜了，您喽！

梅竹的故事。梗概。本故事纯属虚构，如有雷同，纯属巧合。

菊的堂弟竹，上海交通大学数学力学学院二年级学生。菊的表妹梅，爱好艺术，唱歌，跳舞，是学校文艺骨干。在文化补习学校冲刺高考。暑假时，上海普陀区的竹到纵棹市看望伯父伯母，认识了梅。两人相爱。遭到梅母和菊母的强烈反对。无奈，竹只好返回上海。（这段落就是短篇小说《梅竹的故事》）

实际上， 梅竹已经互相加了微信。 在复习迎考的一年里。两个人微信互诉衷肠，迅速升温。梅也认真读书，在高考中旗开得胜。遂把第一志愿由南京师范大学改为上海交通大学。梅顺利被上海交通大学艺术学院模特专业录取。

在交大，梅很出众，追求者很多，竹备感压力。梅和竹分分合合，剪不断理还乱，在一次，梅快要被一个追求者荷强吻时，竹及时地出现了。梅现在已经是交大的校花，竹也觉得梅实在是太漂亮了，可能并不一定适合自己，竹遂处于一种进退两难的矛盾之中。

竹毕业了。没有和梅打招呼就人间蒸发了。梅想，竹是躲不掉的，只要问表姐菊就可以知道竹的下落。所以，梅并不着急。梅估计竹一定是在上海普陀区工作。

很快，梅也毕业了。就在上海普陀区一家服装公司做专业模特儿。荷也在这个公司，荷对梅很关心照顾，梅很感动。两个人走得很近。荷也是一个很帅气的小伙子，只是荷的个子和梅不是很般配。梅有1*78米，荷1*77米，而竹1*90米。

梅也没有问表姐菊。她想用自己的方法找到竹。在普陀区，梅用尽各种方法找竹，最终，一无所获。

过年了。梅一个人回到纵棹市。在白田中路偶遇了竹，梅非常诧异。原来，竹毕业后，就来到了纵棹市工作，并在百合家园60#102买下了140平方米的大房子。两个人就住在同一个小区。百合家园。这次，两个人手挽手，肩并肩来到百合家园中，同样吸引了小区居民的众多眼球，但是，这次菊母，梅母都高兴地合不拢嘴。

梅辞去了普陀区的工作，来到家乡纵棹市，和竹有情人终成眷属。

婚礼这天，荷突然出现，大闹婚礼，给梅和竹的新婚蜜月带来了阴影。

一年后，梅和竹的女儿兰，诞生了。（完）

The two young men talked and laughed， making trouble downstairs while walking， one brother Zhu and one sister Mei. A green "Mei" and a "Zhu" joked.

Zhu： Unexpectedly， my sister Mei is more beautiful than a movie star today. Don't be robbed by bad people.

Mei： I'm not afraid. I have my brother Zhu to protect me. Unless， Brother Zhu has a first arrival in his heart.

Zhu： No.

Mei： I don't believe it！ There are so many female students in Shanghai Jiaotong University that none of them have already entered your heart？

Zhu： Not really. Everyone knows that the female students of Shanghai Jiaotong University are not very good looking， because Jiaotong University is an engineering college. Have you ever heard of a "four headed" girl from Jiaotong University？

Mei： The girl from Jiaotong University looked back.

Zhu： The fish still swim on the water. It shows that there is no beautiful girl. The second Jiaotong University girl turned around and scared a teaching building. The female students of Jiaotong University turned around three times， and the flying sand and rolling stones made them sad. The female students of Jiaotong University turned around four times， and Halley's comet hit the earth. It shows that there are many ugly girls in Jiaotong University. There are also six turn back versions and ten turn back versions on the Internet.

Mei and Zhu went south along Hangou North Road and came to the intersection of Hangou North Road and Honyeli Avenue.

Just after Mei and Zhu went out， Ju's family began to fight with each other.

Ju’mother： Ju， you have some ideas. Your feet are getting better so fast. So you fake wrestling！ What a sprain！ Do you want to be a matchmaker？

Ju： Mei and Zhu are a perfect match. A green "Mei" and a "Zhu" horse. A brother Zhu and a sister Mei. Although they are brothers and sisters， they are not related by blood. The Marriage Law of the Civil Code of the People's Republic of China also supports them！

Ju’s mother： They are still reading！

Ju： Mei and Zhu are a good match.

Ju’s mother： Perfect match， perfect match for your ball！ One is in Zongzhao， and the other is in Shanghai. One was studying in 985 University， and the other had to go to cram school again. It's really "heaven and earth".

Ju： Mei spends too much time on music. If Mei can put her music down for the time being， she is a very smart girl. As long as Mei goes all out， there is no problem for her to pass the 211 exam， even if she is a century old school like Nanjing Normal University.

Ju’s father： Don't make any noise. Calm， calm， the highest good is like water！

Ju： The best kind is like water？ Dad， do you understand？ The highest good is like water. Water is not only still water， including wind， waves and storms， which is the profound meaning of "the highest good is like water". If you can't use it， don't use it indiscriminately.

Ju’s father rolled his eyes and could not speak for a long time.

Ju’s father： Mei and Zhu won't be together. Don't worry. Today Mei is dressed very beautifully. She is not "excited"， but she is "demonstrating" to her brother Zhu. We are worried that it is unnecessary. Don't you know that Mei is actually a very arrogant girl？！

Mei ，Zhu entered Huachuan Garden， which is a small garden with Weiyang style. Founded in the Song Dynasty， it has been destroyed and rebuilt several times. After the reform and opening up， Zongzhao has made great progress and gained considerable economic strength. Therefore， Huachuan Garden has been renovated on a large scale to maintain and retain the characteristics and characteristics of the original Weiyang Yangzhou Garden as much as possible.

In the garden， Mei and Zhu are sightseeing. Mei is really like a dedicated tour guide， willing to work hard. Mei introduced her， while Zhu hummed： farewell to the numerous branches， bleak and golden. Let the autumn wind drift， fly with a smile， and travel proudly through the frost. Give up everything， stay in the youth， youth. Come in a dream， go infinitely， cross time and space. Come in a dream， go infinitely， cross time and space. （See the article Composing with Function Images by Zhang Lianxi in the fifth issue of< Music Life> in 2002）

Mei： Brother Zhu， what song are you humming？ I've never heard of it！

Zhu： That's right. Because this is the song I just wrote last semester.

Mei： What's the name？

Zhu： Autumn Leaves.

Mei： I think it sounds good. I like music， too. Brother Zhu， give me the score of Autumn Leaves，okay？

Zhu： Of course . 317766 * 317766 * 643322 * 643322 * 00 * 345432323 *.

3176*643322*6432*。 317766*6432*5432323*。 3176*6432*5656531*。

Mei： Brother Zhu， do you have any tips on composition？

Zhu： The focus of composition is skill.

Mei： Brother Zhu， what's your skill？

Zhu： These notes are like playing cards. The fried， rest character， sheet， pair， Shunzi， rammer （three sheets are the same）， three belts and one， three dragging two， isochromatic series， Fiboracci series， line segment， parabola， spiral curve and wavy line are all raw materials. It seems that I just bought some food from the vegetable market. Rising is an increasing function， and vice versa. The main techniques are： minor changes， repetition， adjustment， arrangement， combination， montage， taimeng， taige and taimontage.

Mei： Brother Zhu， you have confused me. What montage， taimeng， taige and taimontage.？

Zhu： Mei， to tell you the truth， montage is a permutation combination， Taimeng is an advanced permutation， Taige is an advanced permutation combination， and Taimontage is a more advanced permutation combination.

Mei： Brother Zhu， it seems very difficult to compose music！

Zhu： Not difficult. General composition is very simple. It's just that the melody is not necessarily pleasant. It is easy to compose music， but difficult to produce good works. Skill is not a difficult point. Generally， montage is not used upward. It is a special skill for symphony.

Mei： Brother Zhu， what is the difficulty of composition？

Zhu： The difficulty of composition is to find a beautiful theme. The theme is actually "fire". The firepower should be in place. It should be cooked but not burnt. Skill is the skill of a "cook".

Mei： Brother Zhu， how dare you compose music at that time？

Zhu： Sister Mei， I studied hard. There are many composers in the university， some of whom are funny. Music， it is mixed in 01234567. As a math student， I am afraid of it. Why？

Mei looked at her brother Zhu quietly first， then smiled brightly.

Mei： So you are a cook！

Zhu： Yes， it's the cook， but there are different sizes of cooks！

Mei： Brother Zhu， what kind of cuisine is Autumn Leaves？

Zhu： Can't you taste it？ It's the Weiyang cuisine in your hometown！

Mei laughed hysterically and leaned back.

Mei： Brother Zhu， how did you "cook" the dish "Autumn Leaves"？ Do you want to keep recipes secret from your sister Mei？

Zhu： Who are we crying with？！ When I was drawing a function image， I happened to find the "fire"， which is the theme 317766 * 643322. Among them， 31 and 64 are equal difference sequences， and 7766 and 3322 are pairs. Minor changes are 3176 and 6432. At the beginning， the score repeats the main melody. Rest character. The next sentence is 3454，32323， in which 3454 is an equal difference sequence 35 and a pair 44，32323 is three times two. Next， combine 3176 * 643322 * 6432 first， and then arrange 317766 * 6432. In the next sentence， 54，32323， the arithmetic sequence 54 comes first， and three dragged two 32323 comes last. Again， first arrange 3176 * 6432， and finally 56565，31， in which three dragged two 56565 comes first， and the arithmetic sequence 31 comes last.

Mei： Ah， my brother Zhu. It's clever of you to compose music like this. You are no longer clever.

Zhu： Just so so. （average）， average， average， third in the world.

Mei laughed and couldn't straighten up.

Zhu： I can't. It's not like those composers.

Mei： Brother Zhu， tell me something.

Zhu： All right. Wang Liping is the Chef of Weiyang cuisine. The first time I listened to Shepherd Song， I was worried that it would not be cooked. However， after serving， it is not only cooked， but also tastes great. With such firepower， 100 cooks and 99 and a half cooks are not familiar with each other. Zhao Jiping is a Chef of Sichuan cuisine. The first time I listened to Red Sorghum， I was worried about burning it. However， after serving， it is not only cooked but also tastes good. With such firepower， 99 and a half of the 100 cooks have to be burnt. They are masters， masters， and masters. Gu Jianfen， a famous Chef. Good at all major cuisines. Expert Expert Expert with profound skill.

Mei： Brother Zhu， how did you think of it？

Zhu： All knowledge is interlinked， because they are all human knowledge. In fact， there are only two problems in one's life： one is the meaning of life. The other  is： Where do I come from？ I go there.

Mei： Brother Zhu， how to explore these two issues？

Zhu： Reading. Read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles. There are many books about the meaning of life， such as the Record of Life Philosophy by Professor Zhou Guoping of Shanghai Dictionary Publishing House. To answer the second question， we must first answer "Where does life come from？" You can see the Origin of Species by Charles Darwin of England. The big question is "How did the universe originate， evolve and end？". To discuss this issue， I mainly read three books， all of which were published by Chongqing Publishing House： The Theory of Relativity by Albert Einstein of the United States， The Theory of Celestial Performance by Thomas Huxley of the United Kingdom， and The Theory of Celestial Movement by Nicola Copernicus of Poland.

Mei and Zhu laughed as they played and talked. After noon， they didn't know.

Suddenly， Zhu suddenly repeated the words "I will take you to the sky" in song  ”Xiao Wei”. Mei's heart pounded and her face turned red. Red to the ear. Mei and her brother Zhu knew that the first sentence of "I will take you to the sky" was： "Xiao Wei， do you know how much I love you". Mei blushed and her heart was "plop， plop". What should I do？ What should I do？ So， with the courage from nowhere， Mei bit her teeth and "crossed her heart". Anyway， it was her brother Zhu， so she went forward and put her arm around her brother's arm. Mei thought hard in her heart， Brother Zhu， you repeat and I repeat. <You are my superstar！>

When entering Baihe Home Community， Mei and Zhu were holding hands， shoulder to shoulder， just holding hands. All this has attracted many eyes of the residents of Baihe Home Community. At the same time， Mei’s mother and Ju’s mother look at it and take it to heart.

The two old sisters sent an ultimatum to Mei and Zhu： "You must make a clean break， and never break up！"！

Mei and Zhu were shocked！ It's so close， so far away. Nearby， but far away. Cowherd and Weaver Girl are separated by the Milky Way. Queen Mother， there is one in the sky， but two in the world.

Zhu can't stay any longer. Decided to return to Shanghai immediately. Mei insists on seeing off at the high-speed railway station， but Mei’s mother opposes it. Mei argued， and Mei and Mei’s mother quarreled. At this time， Mei’s father came.

Mei’s father： All right， all right， stop quarrelling. After careful investigation and careful study， Mei's father and mother finally made the following decision： Now they agree to see Mei off her brother Zhu at the high-speed railway station. This reply. specific date.

Mei： Dad！

Mei threw herself into Mei's father's arms and cried bitterly.

On the day of seeing off， everything was in silence.

Outside the pavilion， beside the ancient road. The grass is green to the sky. The evening wind blows the willows and the flute sound is residual. The setting sun is outside the mountain. The end of the world， the corner of the earth， friends half scattered. A pot of stale wine makes me happy， and I don't dream of cold today. （"Tonight" has changed to "today"， indicating the number of high-speed trains in the morning or during the day）

Before I knew it， it was dawn. Mei finished her story. After breakfast， Mei sent me all the way to the south gate of Baihe Home Community. Mei wanted to continue to send me， but I didn't let her.

I walked out of the south gate of the community alone， walked along Xinbao Road （Xinbao Road） and went east to the intersection of Xinbao Road and Baitian Middle Road， which is a Bus Stop. Bus No. 286 to the terminal （Zongzhao High speed Railway Station and Long distance and Short distance Bus Station） will pass here.

While waiting for the bus， I hummed "Desire"： How many past events， as if it were yesterday. How many friends have you had？ It seems that you are still around…… Now I raise my glass to wish a good man a safe life！

Alas， "It's hard to be a water after all the vicissitudes of life， except for Wushan， it's not a cloud"！

Huh？ Isn't this the No. 286 bus？ I'll get on the bus and go home.

Goodbye， you！

The story of Mei   and  Zhu. Outline. This story is purely fictitious. If there are similarities， it is purely coincidental.

Zhu， Ju's cousin， is a sophomore in the School of Mathematics and Mechanics of Shanghai Jiaotong University. Ju's cousin Mei， who likes art， singing and dancing， is the backbone of the school's literature and art. Sprint the college entrance examination in the cultural cram school. During the summer vacation， Zhu from Putuo District， Shanghai， went to Zongzhao City to see his uncle and aunt and got to know Mei. They love each other. She was strongly opposed by the Mei’s mother and Ju’s mother. However， Zhu had to return to Shanghai. （This paragraph is the short story "The Story of Mei and Zhu"）

In fact， Mei Zhu has added Wechat to each other. In the year of reviewing for the exam. The two wechat chat with each other and become more and more popular. Mei also studied hard and won the college entrance examination. So the first volunteer was changed from Nanjing Normal University to Shanghai Jiaotong University. Mei was successfully accepted as a model major by the Art College of Shanghai Jiaotong University.

At Jiaotong University， Mei is outstanding and has many pursuers. Zhu feels pressure. Mei and Zhu are on and off， but the scissors are still in disorder. Once， when Mei was about to be kissed by a suitor Hou ， Zhu appeared in time. Mei is now the school flower of Jiaotong University. Zhu also thinks Mei is too beautiful and may not be suitable for himself. Therefore， Zhu is in a dilemma.

Zhu graduated. The world evaporated without saying hello to Mei. Mei thought that Zhu could not escape. Just ask her cousin Ju to know the whereabouts of Zhu. So Mei was not worried. Mei estimated that Zhu must be working in Putuo District， Shanghai.

Soon， Mei also graduated. She works as a professional model in a clothing company in Putuo District， Shanghai. Hou is also in this company. Hou cares about Mei and Mei is very moved. The two people walked very close. Hou is also a very handsome young man， but his stature doesn't match Mei very well. Mei is 1 . 78 meters， Hou is 1 . 77 meters， and Zhu is 1 . 90 meters.

Mei didn't ask her cousin Ju. She wants to find Zhu in her own way. In Putuo District， Mei tried all kinds of methods to find Zhu， but in the end， she got nothing.

It's New Year's Day. Mei returned to Zongzhao City alone. Mei was very surprised when she met Zhu on Baitian Middle Road. It turned out that after graduation， Zhu came to work in Zongzhao City and bought a 140 square meter house in Baihe Homeland 60 # 102. Two people live in the same community. Baihe Home. This time， two people came to Baihe Home hand in hand， side by side， which also attracted many eyes of residents in the community. However， this time， both Ju’s mother and Mei’s mother were happy to open their mouths.

Mei quit her job in Putuo District， came to Zongzhao City， her hometown， and finally married her lover Zhu.On the wedding day， Hou suddenly appeared and made a big noise， which cast a shadow on Mei and  Zhu's honeymoon.

One year later， Mei and Zhu's daughter Lan was born. （End）

梅竹的故事

中学毕业后，我们女同学当中，我和梅仍然是最好的朋友。因为她长得漂亮，人也活泼，她对音乐有着浓厚的兴趣，喜欢唱歌跳舞，高高的个子，舞姿很美，人缘又好，还一直是学校里的文艺骨干。我很愿意和她闹在一起，笑在一起。2024年，我们俩参加高考，我和梅的分数都没有达到本科线，所以就决定一起重读一年。就在这个暑假，梅和她的父母全家乔迁，离开农村，定居小城，也就是我们县的县城，已经改称呼了，叫纵棹市市区。我很难过。2025年，我和梅再次参加高考，分数出来后，比2024年略有进步，但是，双双还是没有上本科线。

我和梅又各自上补习复读班和文化补习冲刺学校，准备2026年再战高考。

尽管我和梅同在一个纵棹市，但是，毕竟不在一起，想念时就打电话嘘寒问暖，还经常煲电话粥。寒假很快到了，梅竭力邀我去市区游玩，我很高兴地赴约。梅去汽车站接我，汽车站和高铁站离得不远，但是离市区就有一段距离了。

我坐在梅的电动自行车的后面，搂着她的腰，电动车很快上了繁华的林荫大道，一路向北，经过拱极门，就过了城墙，接着又经过了河上的葫芦桥，跨过了护城河，来到了一个不错的新小区，百禾嘉园。小区的对面就是百荷公园。

我住在梅的家里，晚上就睡在她闺房的床上，好在今年是个暖冬，我和梅就同衾共枕，我很兴奋，梅也很兴奋，反正也睡不着，两个20岁的姑娘就挤在一个被窝里，有着说不完的悄悄话。梅和我悄悄地讲了发生在暑假时候的一件事。

原来，梅的姨妈和梅同在这个小区，而且就是紧紧挨着的两栋楼，梅和父母在24号楼，姨妈家在25号楼。姨妈家有梅的闺蜜，表姐菊。菊有个堂弟，名字叫竹，住在上海市普陀区，是上海交通大学二年级学生，在数学力学学院就读。暑假时来看望伯父伯母，顺便游览一下纵棹市的景点。

正好就在这天，梅去表姐家串门，遇到了竹。竹第一次到纵棹，梅和竹并不认识，竹戴个无边的眼睛，也是高高的个子，好一个帅气的小哥哥！菊给梅和竹做了介绍，梅是菊的表妹，竹是菊的堂弟，竹比梅还大了一岁，菊说，算起来这个亲戚很近，本来应该早就认识，由于一个在上海，一个在小城纵棹，天各一方。今天认识了，也不晚。菊说，从今以后，竹就是梅的竹哥哥，梅就是竹的梅妹妹。接着，菊的父母，菊，梅，竹就在一起用了午餐。后来梅，菊和竹以及梅的姨父

又打了整整一个下午的牌，大家有说有笑。

本来已经商量好，明天，梅，菊一起陪竹去景点游览，不巧，菊晚上下楼梯时摔了一跤，虽没有大碍，但是，菊的脚崴了。菊躺在床上的时候给梅挂了电话，让梅明天一早就来家里，做竹的导游，梅爽快地答应了下来。

第二天早餐后，梅做了精心打扮，并没有化妆。梅知道自己天生丽质，有自然美的气息。梅把头发向后弄了一个很是自然的小发髻，另有一缕头发沿着耳朵的前面翻卷下来。超短裙的外面加了一件鲜红的外套，外套的长度盖过了超短裙，外套的襟没有连，飘飘的。两条细细的长腿亭亭玉立，一双高跟鞋很是特别，是两个脚踝上分别有一个漂亮的环把两只高跟鞋悄悄地固定在梅的一双脚上。

梅到了表姐家的时候，竹已经一切准备就绪。梅告诉她的竹哥哥，纵棹市区有一条由东向西再向南的大街，叫红叶李大道，由四段组成，分别是叶挺路段、安宜路段、华川路段（画川路）和向南拐的县南街段。街道的两旁都是载得满满的红叶李，春天姹紫嫣红，可惜现在是夏天，我的竹哥哥没有这个缘分，不过夏天的红李大道也不错。纵棹的所有景点从安宜路段起像一串珍珠撒落在红李大道的两旁，从西向东分别是宋泾河嘉定桥、蒲松龄暂住故居、孔庙、戴氏宗祠（朱氏宗祠，江苏省文物保护单位）。进入华川路段是华川园、灵谷寺（宁国寺）、龙潭公园，然后是古县衙，向南进入县南街段有周恩来少年读书处、古戏台和八宝亭。

两个年轻人有说有笑，边走边闹地下楼，一个竹哥哥，一个梅妹妹。一个青“梅”，一个 “竹”马地开着玩笑。

竹：没想到我的梅妹妹今天比电影明星还要好看。上街不要被坏人抢走啊。

梅：我不怕。我有我的竹哥哥保护我。除非，竹哥哥心中有个先到的她。

竹：没有。

梅：我才不信呢！上海交通大学女同学那么多，就没有一个“她”早已钻进你心中？

竹：还真没有。地球人都知道上海交通大学的女生长得不怎么样，因为交大是工科院校。你没听说过交大女生有个“四回头”？

梅：交大女生一回头。

竹：鱼儿依旧水面游。说明没有沉鱼落雁的漂亮女生。交大女生二回头，吓倒一栋教学楼。交大女生三回头，飞沙走石鬼见愁，交大女生四回头，哈雷彗星撞地球。说明，交大有很多长得不好看的女生。互联网上还有，六回头版本和十回头版本。

梅和竹俩兄妹嘻嘻哈哈地沿着邗沟北路一直向南，来到了邗沟北路和红李大道的交汇处。

就在梅和竹出去以后，菊的家中开始了唇枪舌剑。

菊母：小菊，你玩点子。脚好得这么快，原来你假摔跤啊！好一个“脚崴了”！

你想做红娘吗？

菊：梅和竹是天生一对，地就一双。一个青“梅”，一个“竹”马。一个竹哥哥，一个梅妹妹。虽然是兄妹，但是，并没有血缘关系，中华人民共和国民法典《婚姻法》也是支持的！

菊母：他们都还在读书呢！

菊：梅和竹就是很般配的。

菊母：般配，般配你个球！一个在纵棹，一个在上海。一个在985高校求学，一个还要再上补习班重读。真是“天上人间”。

菊：梅在音乐上花了太多的时间。梅如果暂时能先把音乐放下，梅是个绝顶聪明的女生，梅只要全力以赴，考上211是没有问题的，即使像南京师范大学这样的百年名校也不在话下。

菊父：不要吵了，不要吵了。平静，平静，上善若水啊！

菊：上善若水？老爸，你究竟懂不懂啊？上善若水，水不仅是静水，包括风浪和风暴， 才是“上善若水”的深意。不会用，就不要乱用。

菊父翻着眼睛，半天说不出话来。

菊父：梅和竹“大概率”不会在一起。你们放心吧，今天梅是打扮得格外漂亮，不是“心动”，而是梅在向她的竹哥哥“示威”，担心没有必要，难道你们不知道梅其实是一个非常心高气傲的姑娘吗？！

梅和竹走进了华川园，这是一个不太大的园林，维扬派风格的。始建于宋朝，几经败毁，数次重建。改革开放后，纵棹得到了长足的发展，有了相当的经济实力，就对华川园进行了较大规模的整修，修旧如旧，尽最大的可能保持和保留原来的维扬派扬州园林的特点和特色。

在园中，梅和竹游览着。梅真的就像一个敬业的导游一样，舍得花力气。梅一边介绍着，竹一边哼唱着：小别繁枝，萧瑟染金黄。任秋风飘荡，带微笑飞扬，傲游寒霜。舍一切，留青春年华，青春年华。梦中来，无限去，跨时空。梦中来，无限去，跨时空。（见2002年第五期《音乐生活》张连喜的文章《用函数图像作曲》）

梅：竹哥哥，你哼的是什么歌啊？我可从来也没有听过啊！

竹：这就对啦。因为这是我上学期刚写的歌。

梅：什么名字啊？

竹：《秋叶》。

梅：我觉得蛮好听的。我也喜欢音乐。竹哥哥，你把《秋叶》的歌谱给我，

好吗？

竹：Of course.（当然）317766*317766*643322*643322*00*345432323*。

3176*643322*6432*。317766*6432*5432323*。3176*6432*5656531*。

梅：竹哥哥，作曲有什么窍门吗？

竹：作曲的重点是技巧。

梅：竹哥哥，什么技巧？

竹：这些音符好像扑克牌。什么炸、休止符、单张、对子、顺子、夯（三张同）、三带一、三拖二、等差数列、菲波拉西数列、线段、抛物线、螺旋曲线和波浪线等等都是原材料。好像刚从菜市场买回来的菜。上升就是增函数，反之，则为减函数。主要的技巧有：小改动、重复、调整、排列、组合、蒙太奇、太蒙、太奇和太蒙太奇。

梅：竹哥哥，你都把我弄糊涂了。什么蒙太奇、太蒙、太奇和太蒙太奇啊？

竹：梅妹妹，跟你通俗地讲吧，蒙太奇就是排列组合，太蒙是高级排列，太奇是高级组合，而太蒙太奇是更高级的排列组合。

梅：竹哥哥，看来作曲挺难的㕭！

竹：不难。一般的作曲很简单。只是旋律不一定好听。上手作曲很容易，出好作品却很难。技巧并不是难点，一般蒙太奇向上用不到，那是交响乐的专用技巧。

梅：竹哥哥，那么，作曲的难点是什么呢？

竹：作曲的难点是发现优美的主旋律。主旋律其实是“火候”。火力要到位，既要烧熟，又不能烧糊了。技巧就是“厨师”的功力。

梅：竹哥哥，你当时怎么敢作曲的呢？

竹：梅妹妹，我钻研过。大学里作曲的人很多，有的很搞笑。音乐，它就在01234567里混，我一个学数学的，还怕它，咋的？

梅先静静地望着她的竹哥哥，然后灿烂地笑了。

梅：原来，你们写歌的就是个厨子！

竹：对啊，就是厨子，可是厨子也分大小的啊！

梅：竹哥哥，《秋叶》是什么菜系啊？

竹：品尝不出来？就是你们家乡的维扬菜嘛！

梅疯笑得前倒后仰。

梅：竹哥哥，《秋叶》这道菜，你是怎么“烧”的啊？难道对你的梅妹妹，菜谱也要保密？

竹：咱俩谁跟谁嗷？！我在一次画函数图像的时候，机缘巧合，偶然发现了“火候”，也就是主旋律317766*643322。其中31和64都是等差数列，7766和3322都是对子。小改动是3176和6432。歌谱开始先重复了主旋律。休止符。下一句345432323，其中3454是一个等差数列35加一个对子44，32323是三拖二。接下来先将3176*643322*6432进行组合，后将317766*6432排列，下一句5432323，等差数列54在前，三拖二32323在后。再一次先把3176*6432排列，最后5656531，其中三拖二56565在前，等差数列31在后，作为结束语。
