1.Hongyan
Two months after the start of school, we basically adapted to the life and study rhythm of college. The three courses of calculus, general chemistry and engineering drawing are more difficult, and the other courses are relatively easy.
As we go from unfamiliar to familiar with the university campus, we feel less and less discomfort and stronger sense of integration. We are more willing to share and talk to our relatives and friends as soon as we speak up. During that time, every student seemed to start writing, receiving and replying letters frequently. The students in charge of the mailbox keys became the most popular people in the class.
The big break at 10 o'clock in the morning every day is the most lively time of the class. The mailboxer would hold a pile of letters and shout names and send them happily. A person usually receives several letters, and then he would excite the letter to read them, immersed in the friendship and family affection of the letters sent by wild geese from both places.
I am no exception. Through communication, I learned that two or three months away from home, and the family has changed. My hardworking and kind third aunt died of illness. My fourth sister in Wenzhou gave birth to a girl. She said she would continue to give birth because Wenzhou is also a boy over a girl, and she also thinks that a child is a little small.
My eldest sister's tailor shop was closed. Because the rent was too expensive and the business was not good, she started to set up mobile stalls near the street to collect clothes and do it home. Anyway, she was always the old customer; my second sister's family planning fine was finally cleared, and she said she could have more money in the future and could fund me, so that I didn't have to worry about my future tuition.
My eldest sister was worried that I missed home, so she asked my mother to take a photo with her four nephews and nieces, and sent it to me. The first letter address was written incorrectly and she did not receive it; I received the second letter. When I saw the photo of my mother and four children, I felt very relieved. In just two months, I felt that they had changed a lot.
In addition to communicating with his family, he also communicates frequently with the same group of students who were admitted to college, including Xuzhou , Lianyungang , Yangzhou , Nantong , Zhenjiang , and of course, there are also students who repeat the school in their hometowns.
Through the communication, I found out that Mei Xiang was admitted to Huaiyin Teachers College. No wonder the letters from Huaiyin Engineering College I submitted before were "finding this person" and returned. After learning about Mei Xiang's address, I wrote her a 19-page long letter that night.
In addition to reporting safety, everyone is about telling about the life of college, sharing their feelings about leaving home, recalling the beauty of high school, and lamenting the mistakes of college entrance examination by accident ... Through communication, we learned about our class, 70 students, and finally admitted to other universities and Peng Dahe, about 20 of them, all of which are junior colleges; the entire No. 8 Middle School is in Class 2, one undergraduate.
It should be said that since 1994, national college admissions have begun to be released.
In 1994, the number of applicants for college entrance examinations nationwide was 2.51 million, and 900,000 were admitted, with an admission ratio of 35.86%. The admission ratio of
is similar to that of our senior high school class. Of course, the ten people who have admitted to the faculty are the preferred students, and should not be included in it. In fact, as rural high schools in northern Jiangsu, our average level is lower than that of the whole country.
2. Visit and exchange
1994, there were two high school students in our class who were admitted to Nanjing. One was Wu Wei, who was a student at the Nanjing University for his own expense by relying on his "luck" among the top students of Canal Middle School, and he "takes" at the Nanyang College College for self-paid; the other was that he did not pass the line in his grades, but Xiang Jun, a coal mine student commissioned by a unit of Xuzhou Mining Bureau, attended an adult training college at Nanyang University .
During my studies at No. 8 Middle School, my relationship with two classmates was average and I only knew each other’s existence. But after arriving in Nanjing, the three of them had a special relationship of "members + classmates", and through walking, the relationship became familiar.
Wu Wei came to see me one weekend. He was not familiar with the place. With the help of "new students enrolled in the Department of Chemical Engineering + college funding", he was able to find my dormitory directly in just a few strokes. He is really a talent.
I was so rustic at that time. When I saw Wu Wei, who was already a little "city dressed up" and also spoke "Xuzhou Mandarin" to me, I was very happy. I met an old friend in a foreign land. So, Xinran introduced him to our roommates and took him around in Nanhua for a casual meal.
Before leaving, Wu Wei said that Nanhua was not good, the campus was too small and was in a mess, so he asked me to go to Nanda for a walk next weekend. The two of them went to Nannong, Weigang to find Xiang Jun to play.
For college freshmen at that time, visiting and interacting with high school classmates and fellow villagers is the norm, and it is also a fashion and emotional need. I readily agree. Besides, I also want to see the top ten famous institutions in Jiangsu Province and ranked among the top ten in the country - Nanjing University .
Nanjing University is located at No. 22 Hankou Road, Gulou District, less than 5 kilometers from Nanjing Institute of Chemical Engineering, and the transportation is very convenient.
What’s strange is that the first time I went from the Gulou Tunnel (who was dubbed "Wulong Cave" by Nanjing people at that time, and I was flooded with water as soon as I got into the water tunnel) that road from the alley, I saw the school gates on both sides and a wonderful 180-degree turn. Since then, every time I go to Nanjing University, I automatically turn, and the same is true until now. This feeling is so wonderful.
Entering Nanjing University and visiting it, I couldn't help but sigh that Nanjing University is worthy of being a famous school. Its campus environment, buildings, greening roads, cultural atmosphere, public facilities, students' appearance, and historical traces... are all higher than Nanhua.
Wu Wei is a good guide. He can't learn, but he can understand the campus thoroughly early. He is as proud as a little rooster. He takes me to show it one by one, chatting while walking, talking about things in hometown dialect in hometown. He has too many common languages and is very happy.
I found that this guy is quite good at talking. In the past, he always showed his cold face in school. His hair was as smooth as a dog licked, and his clothes and shoes were considered high-end in rural middle schools.
chat learned that his family is still in good condition. His father is from a mine and he only has one sister at home, so the burden is not heavy. He even "copied" and even went to Nanjing University College to pay for his own student. No one expected that this is life, and it is necessary to have some luck at critical moments.
3. We were warmly entertained by Xiang Jun
We finished our meal at the Nanda Canteen that afternoon, and went to Weigang, Nana Agricultural University’s Adult Training College. We searched for a long time before we found it on the outskirts of Nana Agricultural University. It was a very remote and deserted yard.
At that time, there was no phone, no mobile phone or BP machine, and they all asked with their mouths along the way.
I even suspected that Wu Wei’s handwritten address was written incorrectly, or that Xiang Jun had not been studying in Nanjing at all.
Good things have been hurt. Two hours later, just when we were about to give up searching and go home, we really found Xiang Jun at the entrance of the corridor toilet. I discovered it first and called out. Xiang Jun was surprised and happy. He hugged us as if we had met relatives and asked us how we touched it?
Xiang Jun is a child of a coal mine cadre. His family has good financial conditions and is unwilling to repeat the exam after failing the exam. The strategy adopted by their family is a model of collective training for the unit. Although the country obtained the education qualifications (not belonging to the national education series), coal mine recruitment recognizes that the model of joint training of second-level colleges of is simpler than self-study , and does not have the entrance examination for adult college entrance examination .
To put it bluntly, the unit gives the school a fee, which does not account for the official quota of the school. The school arranges a three-year study course based on the courses of college students in three years, and completes it as scheduled after three years.
Because after Xiang Jun graduated, he could return to work in a designated coal mine, and all the positions were reserved for him, so he was a gangster in the Nanjing Agricultural University college, which was just a gangster, passing the time. Some coal mine children gathered around him, surrounding him, flattering him very much, because Xiang Jun's father was a big leader, who dominated the assigned positions of their group.
During my high school period, I really didn't notice Xiang Jun's extravagant style, because he was relatively low-key at the time, and his clothes and diet were no different from everyone else. He just rented a house. Some people said that he had a pair of shoes at that time, but I didn't believe it at all, because it exceeded my poor brain's imagination. From elementary school to high school, I wore cloth shoes that my mother had soles. The money for buying shoes was not a few hundred yuan.
That time, Wu Wei and I went to Xiang Jun. Xiang Jun was very happy and gave us a good reception. We invited five or six coal mine children together. A group of eight or nine people gathered in a private room in a nearby high-end hotel. It can be seen that this group of people often come to this hotel.
The wine and food are very rich, and Xiang Jun's toast is also high-sounding, "It's a great time to have friends coming from afar", "It's a good time to have classmates of eight generations", "It's better to be a high school classmate, everyone is a fellow villagers in the village, know the roots and the bottom of the trench"......,
Xiang Jun's words are a bit adult, but at the crowded table, it sounds very atmosphere. I secretly admire the behavior of his aristocratic children, the endless speech and the knowledgeable spirit.
The ups and downs of drinking, the ups and downs of high school, the boundaries of suffering and the current spirit and freedom of mind are all in the wine. Don’t look at you, but you have a very strong style. You speak without leaking water, raise your glasses and flowing water, and direct your younger brothers to make us happy and accurately grasp the rhythm so that we will not be too embarrassed, and keep the drinking atmosphere in the private room relaxed and happy.
Going to the toilet during the meal, Wu Wei secretly said to me, "Look at you, you can't even make a fortune of 2,000 yuan a month. Today, you can't get this table without 200 yuan. In the future, he goes to our school and we can't afford to treat it according to this standard."
I felt a little sad, thinking that I can't even make a living expense for this table of food for two months. As the saying goes, there is indeed this problem behind the scenes. Thinking of this, my enthusiasm for drinking became weaker.
The banquet was drunk until late at night and took off. I boarded the last bus and returned to the city.
4. Reciting the exchanges
Next week, as agreed, Wu Wei, Xiang Jun and his friends set out separately, and met at China Southern Airlines , Nanning Science and Technology and other schools to visit classmates' fellow villagers and classmates. In such a relationship, I felt the feelings of classmates and fellow villagers who were far away in Nanjing after leaving home, comforted and encouraged each other, and expressed my feelings and feelings of leaving home and entering a strange city.
Later, they naturally came to Nanhua. Xiang Jun had a high EQ. He knew that I had no money. He offered to drink too much for several weeks, so that his stomach would rest. He said he wanted to eat some duck blood vermicelli soup from Hunan Road , seven or eight people each, plus a basket of pot stickers , the expenses were lower than my budget, and he gave me face.
After the meal, because the Nanhua campus was too small and there was nothing to transfer, Xiang Jun paid for it and invited them to the Iron Medical School (formerly Nanjing Railway Medical College, now , Southeast University Medical College ) to watch the video. After the show, they took the bus back to their respective schools.
(Xiang Jun’s family background, high emotional intelligence, and a group of little brothers won over during his studies in Nanjing. Later, after graduation, he played a big role. After working in the coal mine system for a few years, he entered the system at the deputy section level. Later, relying on the strength of the family, he became better and better. Now he should be one of the 100 families in the county.
Xiang Jun’s life track is completely different from me, Wu Wei, Miao Jian and others. When we graduated from university, we are still a family member. If we have to start from scratch, he is of course different. College is just a layer of plating for him. Jin, let him go further, his development was planned without his father's arrangement, which proves the words of Xue Yifu, the preschool principal of Bayi, "The first-class father doesn't speak, the second-class father calls, the third-class father sits home and scolds, and the fourth-class father has no choice.")
The weekends around New Year's Day in the first semester of the first year of the first year, there are many such gatherings, and every student is welcomed and sent off. Sometimes when the roommate's classmates and fellow villagers come, I also ask me to help receive them. Everyone is immersed in the friendly and casual communication atmosphere between fellow villagers and classmates, looking back on the past, commenting on the present, and looking forward to the future.
Happy days are always short, and in a blink of an eye we are ushering in the final exam before the winter vacation.
