Twenty minutes later, Li Donglai and Narisong appeared downstairs in Boys No. 16, sweating profusely.
I carried my luggage up to the third floor and looked for it according to the house number. I found that the waxy yellow door was ajar.
Apparently someone had arrived first.
After knocking twice on the door, Li Donglai opened the door and walked in.
However, I saw a thin, dark young man who was completely naked except for a pair of bright red pants walking around in the dormitory.
He held a book in his hand and shook his head from time to time.
Li Donglai: "..."
Narisong: "...."
"Ouch!"
The dark and thin young man was obviously startled by Li Donglai who suddenly entered the door, and quickly put on his vest and shorts.
Then he turned around and explained to the two of them: "It's too hot, let's cool down like this!"
Li Dong came to look at the only electrical appliance in the house, an incandescent light bulb, and nodded in understanding.
The man changed his clothes and took the initiative to help the two of them carry their luggage. As he walked into the dormitory, he introduced himself: "My name is Zhang Shu, and you are also a student in Pharmacy (2) class."
What do you call it?"
"I am Li Donglai, and this is Nan Risong."
The school does not allocate beds to students, they are all on a first-come, first-served basis.
This is a six-person dormitory with three bunk-bed iron canopy beds as standard.
There are three large tables with drawers on both sides placed side by side in the middle of the room, and there is also a square stool for each person.
After Li Donglai made the bed, the other three roommates also came one after another.
What surprised Li Donglai was that the last person who came in turned out to be a child who looked to be in his teens.
The big package made his face turn red.
After Li Donglai carried it over with one hand, the child gasped: "Thank you, classmate."
After some chatting, Li Donglai learned that the child's name was Sun Zhuo and he was only fifteen years old.
Since the college entrance examination scores were not announced in this era, even the candidates themselves did not know how many scores they had received, and Li Donglai did not know how many scores Sun Zhuo had received that year.
Later, by chance, I met a teacher from the admissions office and found out that Sun Zhuo's score was 540.
Although Li Donglai has never taken the college entrance examination, he knows that the total score of the college entrance examination is 600 points.
It is necessary to take exams in Chinese language, mathematics, chemistry, Chinese and foreign history and geography, physics, political knowledge, biology, foreign languages and other subjects.
Among them, foreign languages are very characteristic of the times. You can take the test in English or Russian.
Most students naturally choose Russian.
The admission rate is very low, with only 50,000 people admitted to colleges and universities across the country.
Being able to enter Beijing University at the age of fifteen, Sun Zhuo can be said to be a young genius.
Li Donglai silently remembered his name in his heart.
The six classmates from the dormitory arrived and introduced themselves as usual.
Li Donglai, the bookworm Chen Shu and the young genius Sun Zhuo were from the capital, Narisong was from the prairie, Hu Wenhua was from the Northeast, and Zhang Zhishan was from Zhejiang Province.
It can be said that they come from all over the world, and their only characteristic is that their roots are red and their sprouts are straight.
Young people like to be lively, and even the bookworm Chen Shu put down his textbooks and started chatting with everyone.
While chatting, a question came to mind.
That is to elect a dormitory leader to be responsible for the daily management of the dormitory.
As a native of the capital and several years older than them, Li Donglai naturally did his part.
As the new official took office, Li Donglai put down the playing cards in his hand and asked, "Have the students received their living allowance?"
"No, let's go together?" Sun Zhuo seemed to like Li Donglai very much, and raised his hand first.
Risong, Hu Wenhua and Zhang Zhishan also responded one after another.
The only person who shook his head was Chen Shu: "I don't need to receive subsidies."
Li Donglai was stunned for a moment. Seeing his depressed expression, he understood immediately.
The official name of the subsidy given to college students is the People's Subsidy.
In principle, people's bursaries will be issued to all college students, and anyone who is a college student can receive them.
However, in recent years, most students from high-ranking families have voluntarily given up the people's subsidy.
Chen Shu declined Li Donglai's offer and seemed a little listless.
He has never been proud of his origin, but feels alienated from his classmates.
Just like a little fish living in a delicate fish tank, although he lives a carefree life, he is envious of the fish swimming in the rough sea.
Li Donglai understood what he was thinking, patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Let's go together. We have received the subsidy and will go to the cafeteria for lunch later. There are six of us in the dormitory, and we can't live without one person."
These words cheered up Chen Shu and he nodded heavily.
...
Except for the dormitory, the sky was blue and blue outside, and a group of people chatted and walked towards the student office.
When passing by the lake, Narisong scratched his head: "You guys think, if I set up a tent by the lake at night and sleep in the grass, will the school agree?"
He had only stayed in the dormitory for less than two hours, and he was almost exhausted. He felt that his whole soul seemed to be imprisoned by an inexplicable force.
Li Donglai frowned: "Narisong, when you were in the prairie, weren't you still living in a tent?"
"I am the child of a herdsman. Our family was a serf before liberation, and our ancestors have lived in tents for generations. With help from above, life has become much better over the years, and some relatives have also moved to nearby towns. But I, Abu, still have to help the herdsmen.
They went to see a doctor and just followed the migration of the sheep." Risong saw his doubts and explained clearly.
Li Donglai: "It shouldn't be possible for you to sleep here. If a girl passes by at night, it might cause unnecessary trouble. Besides, this is a lake, not a grassland, and there must be many water snakes. You don't want to
Wake up and have a tail behind your butt?"
"Hiss..." Thinking of the water snake getting into his butt, Risong showed fear on his face: "I won't sleep then."
...
Along the way, Li Donglai saw many classmates sitting by the lake reading.
Their expressions were focused and their eyes were greedy, as if they wanted to swallow the book whole.
In previous lives, the purpose of going to college was to find a good job, get a good salary, and marry a beautiful wife.
In this life, studying in college has only one purpose, and that is to accumulate strength for the construction of the motherland.
Compared with the colorful university life of later generations, the university life of this era may be much monotonous.
However, this positive learning atmosphere made Li Donglai feel emotional.
Now that you have successfully entered Beijing University, you must seize the opportunity!
...
Several people received this month's subsidy from the Student Affairs Office.
The monthly food expenses are fifteen yuan, and the tuition and miscellaneous expenses are three and a half yuan.
The subsidy of nearly 20 yuan is already equivalent to a worker's monthly salary.
That was the first time Risong had received so much money. He counted it several times before carefully putting it into his trouser pocket.
It was almost noon, and a few people naturally walked towards the cafeteria of Beijing University.
Getting ready for the first dormitory dinner party.
However, when I first entered the canteen, I saw clearly the situation inside the canteen.
Li Donglai was confused, Narisong was confused... everyone was confused.
