Chapter 17: Beijing Normal University does not have an economics department
The dormitory door was open, and when I looked inside, there were only two people.
I walked in to say hello and introduce myself. After asking, I learned the identities of the two roommates. One was named Chen Yiming from Dongguang Wandong, and the other was named Liang Zhendao from Xichuan Liangshan. They were both English majors.
Lin Xiaoguang saw that there were four beds and immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's okay, there are only four people."
Liang Zhendao, who spoke Mandarin with the flavor of Xichuan, was somewhat thankful: "Yes, Tsinghua University is a large science and engineering school, and we only have a few liberal arts majors. If the department hadn't been considerate, we would have only been able to live in an eight-person room."
Chen Yiming was very depressed: "I have never majored in English among my choices. I don't know who brought me here?"
After a pause, he pointed to the two empty beds: "I have inquired clearly. There is only one class in our major. We are the only four men in the class. We live in this dormitory. You are the third one to come. Pick a bed first. , leaving one for the last person to come."
"Who told him to be the last?" Chen Yiming smiled slyly.
Of the three people present, Liang Zhendao was over thirty and quite mature and prudent, while Chen Yiming was eighteen or nineteen years old and had a somewhat out-of-touch personality.
When the two saw Lin Xiaoguang so young, they both sighed: "He's old!"
Lin Xiaoguang thanked him and smiled shyly, then walked to the corridor outside the dormitory and waved hello. Soon, a large number of people filed in. Wang and Chen were stunned to see that there must be too many groups of relatives and friends.
"Sorry, they are all my family." Lin Xiaoguang chuckled.
"This is my dad, this is my uncle, and this is my brother-in-law. Our three children have been admitted to college. My cousin has been admitted to Beijing Normal University, and my cousin has been admitted to Peking University, so we came here together."
Just after the introduction, Lin Xiaoyun poked her head in and asked, "Can we go in?"
The two elders Liang and Chen were immediately shocked when they saw that she was actually a beautiful girl. The cheerful and sunny Chen Yiming blushed and was a little shy. When Yang Lan came in again, he was dumbfounded. I'm going to be a good boy, you two. What a beautiful girl.
"It's okay, come in." The older Liang Zhendao reacted quickly.
During the rest of the time, Lin Xiaoyun and Yang Lan spread bedding for Lin Xiaoguang. Lin Boping and Liang Chen chatted with each other. Lin Xiaoguang interrupted from time to time and went over to help Lin and Yang. Seeing that he didn't need to do anything, he had to I sighed that it was great to be a child.
The bed is made, it's already late, it's getting dark, and it's almost dinner time.
The group of people hurried downstairs and went outside. Lin Boping looked up at the setting sun and comforted Lin Xiaoyun: "It's already past six o'clock. Beijing Normal University is far away. It's too late to go there now. I haven't found a place to live yet. Otherwise, Go again tomorrow?”
Lin Xiaoyun really wanted to go to Beijing Normal University, but she didn't have enough time at the moment, so she had no choice but to agree.
"It's okay, it's not too late to go tomorrow."
So, the group hurried to the nearby guest house, presented the letter of introduction, and completed the check-in formalities. Lin Xiaoguang looked at the ten or twenty yuan that Lin Boping spent, and his heart bleeds: "Three big-bed rooms, one night, so much Expensive!"
In an era when a monthly salary was thirty or forty yuan, and six or seven yuan a night, I have to say that prices in Peiping were really high.
After everything was settled and ready to go out for dinner, Yang Wenyong suggested: "After all, we have to live here for four years and get along day and night. Why don't we treat Xiaoguang and Lanlan's roommates to a meal? Please take care of them as well."
Lin Zhongping thought this idea was a good one and expressed support: "I think it's a good idea."
However, Lin Boping had different opinions. He shook his head and said angrily: "You guys! It's too vulgar. What's the point of inviting me to dinner? To show your presence? You have money. If you invite me, what will other students and parents think?"
How about showing off? Do you want them to be invited too?"
After scolding the two, he stared at the three children again: "You must have a good relationship with classmates, but this is not the way. Roommates should help each other and make progress together."
"It's better to keep your relationship with classmates pure."
Lin Xiaoguang hurriedly nodded in agreement, and Lin Yang and the two daughters also agreed in unison.
So, the invitation to dinner was rejected.
It was rare for Lin Xiaoguang to see his father being depressed, and he couldn't stop laughing. This was noticed by Lin Zhongping, who was sharp-eyed, and he felt unhappy, so he turned his anger on him and got another loud bang.
Today I was running around without stopping. Although when I came here, I said I was going to Quanjude to eat Peking Roast Duck, but now I had no intention of doing that. Everyone was exhausted physically and mentally, so they just found a restaurant to have a meal.
Of course it's a state-owned restaurant.
No matter which era, the process of going to a restaurant to eat is the same: grab a seat, buy a ticket, and queue up to get your meal.
It was only at this time that the father's love was revealed. Lin Xiaoguang and the other three sat down, Lin Boping went to the window to pay, and Lin Zhongping and Yang Wenyong were waiting to pick up their meals.
Lin Xiaoguang suddenly remembered a joke, suppressed a smile, and said seriously to the two Lin Yang girls: "I'm going to buy some oranges. You just stand here and don't move around."
Yang Lan stared at him blankly, her mouth slightly open and her big eyes unblinking.
But Lin Xiaoyun burst out laughing, unable to help laughing, laughing endlessly: "Lin Xiaoguang, are you stupid for reading? It's only March, how can there be any oranges for you to eat? Also, we are all sitting, who is standing? Your eyes
Isn’t it good? Besides, you can just buy it and sit on the chair without getting up, waiting for the oranges to fly to you? "
"Alas!" Lin Xiaoguang sighed helplessly. He wanted to explain, but was afraid of being beaten, so he had to remind him in a low voice: "Zhu Ziqing's "Back"."
At this time, Lin Zhongping came over with rice: "Old Beiping fried noodles with soy sauce, whether the fried sauce is delicious or not is another matter. The noodles are probably not as authentic as our Chang'an noodles, but I'll make do with it."
Yang Lan was still thinking about the oranges and "Back", but Lin Xiaoyun put them behind her and started to deal with the delicious food in front of her.
Different from Xiqi Saozi Noodles, which are one red, two white, three yellow, four green and five black, Lao Beiping Saozi Noodles emphasizes green, white, red and yellow, green mung beans, cucumbers, coriander and green onions, white bean sprouts, radish, minced garlic, and red oil.
Chili, sweet noodle sauce, pork belly, yellow grated ginger, shiitake mushrooms, dried yellow sauce, plus staple noodles, stretched noodles, hand-rolled noodles or pulled into slices.
"One last thing, there are two ways to eat noodles, the noodles that have been soaked in water and the noodles that have been cooked in a pot. The noodles that have been soaked in water are almost the same as cold noodles, so they are suitable for eating in the summer. The noodles that are cooked in the pot are hot, so they are suitable for eating in the winter."
Lin Xiaoguang talked eloquently.
"Xiaoguang, you know so much." Lin Xiaoyun couldn't help but admire, and Yang Lan also looked at him with admiration.
Lin Boping was a little surprised, but he didn't say much and just buried his head in eating. Yang Wenyong, on the other hand, stared at the noodles in the bowl, looking left and right, and finally said: "Why are there so many details about this fried noodles?"
On the side, Lin Zhongping smiled brightly. His son was knowledgeable, which was to give him face.
However, after a brief moment of pride, he straightened his face, pretended to be displeased, stretched out his hand and slapped you: "Eat your food, why are you talking so much nonsense, and the noodles can't stop your mouth?"
Lin Xiaoguang was furious when he saw Li Li explode again, and secretly said: "I'll just endure it for a few more days until you leave."
After dinner, no one had any intention of traveling to Peiping at night, so they all went back to the guest house to rest.
Early in the morning, a few people got up, washed up, had some breakfast, then took the bus and went straight to Beijing Normal University.
Beijing Normal University is located within the Third Ring Road, near Jimen Bridge, and is a neighbor to Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications.
After they arrived at the school, they went straight to the Economics Department. However, they searched the whole school but could not find the door of the Economics Department. Finally, they asked several teachers before they got the news.
"Beijing Normal University does not major in political economics. You must have made a mistake. The admission notice is fake."
