心灵鸡汤

女儿上大学了

文/武艺

三年前,女儿参加中考,我有感而发写下了《陪女儿中考》。经过三年的刻苦学习,今年迎来了她人生又一重要时刻——高考。

回顾女儿这三年的高中学习,可以说很拼。从高一普通班的前几名,到学理科上火箭班,特别是进入高三,学习抓得非常紧,每天早上六点多出门,晚上十点放学。高三第二学期,三天一大考,两天一小考,确实很辛苦。

高考时女儿在太原五中考场,离家也不远。考前,我特意置办了一身新衣服,寓意“开门红,状元红”。生活需要仪式感,就是要把平淡的生活过得有滋有味,有情有义。

我和妻子分工明确,我接送孩子,她在家做饭。6月7日、8日那两天,太原温度不算高,时不时还有阵雨光临。全社会都关心高考,车辆限行,公安、医疗、电力等部门都全力以赴,保驾护航。

实力是说话的底气,成绩是平时状态的客观反映。两天顺利考完,终于松了一口气,孩子开心地出去玩,我们也高高兴兴地放松一下,喝了顿快乐的大酒。

高兴两天后,又焦虑等待出成绩,忐忑不安。成绩发布时是深夜,不知不觉又是一个不眠之夜。

凌晨查到孩子成绩,心中石头总算落下来,随即又急切等待山西一本分数线的划定。一本线出来后,又转入填报志愿关键期。选学校,选专业,找老师,问专家,咨询去年高考过的考生家长,真是过了一关又一关。

盼望着,等待着,录取通知书到了。拿到通知书那个瞬间,喜悦的同时,突然反应过来,一张录取通知书,代表着希望和未来,同时也意味着与孩子的一种离别。

通知书预示着孩子即将踏上新的征程,与父母与故乡长时间别离。于是想到了20多年前,我们离开家乡去求学时,父母送行的样子。人生或许就是这样吧。

写下这段文字,孩子已开始崭新的大学生活。送孩子报到,想起一段话。龙应台说:“所谓父女母子一场,只不过意味着,你和他的缘分就是今生不断地在目送他的背影渐行渐远。你站立在小路的这一端,看着他逐渐消失在小路转弯的地方,而且,他用背影告诉你,不必追。”

孩子未来的路很漫长,相信她会越走越好的!
