~22 min read 4,298 words

After the self-introduction, the counselor stood back on the podium, emphasized the school rules and regulations of Fudan University, and talked to everyone about how to position themselves in the next four years?

How should each person exert their efforts in which direction according to their own preferences?

Finally, the counselor said that military training for one month will start the day after tomorrow, and leave is not allowed without special reasons.

The class meeting lasted for more than two hours, and it was almost 9 o'clock when it ended.

It was a bit late, and there was no bicycle to go over. Li Heng thought about it, gave up the idea of returning to Lushan Village to rent a house, and followed everyone back to Dormitory 325.

As soon as they entered the dormitory door, the six people who were still a bit cautious in the classroom immediately changed their appearance and became active.

I saw Li Guang shouting: "Li Guoyi, drink water, drink water, two enamel mugs, don't dawdle!"

Li Guoyi picked up the enamel mug, turned to Zhou Zhangming and shouted: "Old Zhou, if we die, we die together, hurry up!"

"Don't urge me, it's just tap water. Even if it's two enamel mugs of wine, I won't welch." Zhou Zhangming kept his word, then drank two enamel mugs of water in one breath.

Li Guoyi's eyes widened, "Damn! Are you an ox? Drinking like this?"

Zhou Zhangming touched his belly and laughed, "Hehe, I have a big stomach. Little Li, you offended me. I'll make you drunk 15 times in half a month."

Li Guoyi didn't take this seriously. Under the urging of everyone, he struggled to drink two large enamel mugs of water.

The reason why it is said to be large is that it is really fucking large, at least 700ml per cup. I don't know why he bought such a large cup?

Next, everyone learned without a teacher and started the first dormitory pillow talk of their university career.

At first, everyone was still restrained, talking about their respective hometowns and customs, as well as their high school careers.

Li Guoyi was particularly curious about Zhang Bing's marriage and lay on the bed asking: "Brother Bing, why did you get married so early?"

"Is it early? It's not early."

Zhang Bing sat on the edge of the bed and recalled: "In our Xiangxi countryside, people generally get married at eighteen or nineteen, and some get married at sixteen or seventeen. I didn't plan to get married at first, but I didn't get into university after taking the exam several times. People outside were gossiping, and the elders in the family were anxious."

"Plus, I didn't have much confidence in whether I could get into university. After all, I was over 20, which is definitely an older unmarried youth over there, so I gritted my teeth and got married through matchmaking last year."

Everyone was very curious about his marriage, pulled over stools, and sat around him.

Li Heng asked: "Matchmaking marriage? How is your relationship?"

Mentioning feelings, Zhang Bing was in a daze for a long time, and finally took out a plastic bag from his pocket, opened it, and inside was shredded tobacco and a stack of white paper:

"I've been too anxious these years, so I learned to smoke. I can't afford boxed cigarettes. This kind of shredded tobacco is cheap and strong. You can smoke it for a month for one yuan. Do you want to try it?"

Everyone looked at each other, tacitly reached out to ask for a rectangular piece of white paper, grabbed a handful of shredded tobacco, wet it with saliva, rolled it up, and finally lit 7 cigarettes with two matches.

Once an expert makes a move, you know if there is one.

After a few puffs, Hu Ping and Tang Dailing's identities as old smokers were immediately exposed. They smoked so smoothly and elegantly, and not only could they exhale smoke from their noses.

Hu Ping could even blow smoke rings for fun.

Li Guoyi was dumbfounded, "Old Hu, you look so romantic, why do you smoke this stuff too?"

Hu Ping said painfully: "Cough! Don't mention it. This damn thing is full of tears when it comes to it. When I was a child, I saw that blowing smoke rings in videotapes was very cool, and I could show off in front of girls. Our group learned it secretly behind our family's back, comparing who could blow smoke rings rounder. I didn't expect to be addicted and couldn't quit."

Everyone looked at Tang Dailing, curious about his smoking experience.

Tang Dailing said: "There is no special experience. Since I can remember, I often worked in remote fields. When I was tired, people from several nearby fields would gather together to eat the food brought from home."

"After the meal, we usually rest for half an hour to restore physical strength. During this period, we smoke and chat. I don't remember when I came into contact with cigarettes. When others gave me cigarettes, I smoked, and as I smoked, I started to bring cigarettes for others to smoke."

As he spoke, Tang Dailing took out a small iron box that had started to lose paint from his school bag. Like Zhang Bing's, it also contained shredded tobacco.

After puffing clouds and fog, the topic returned to Zhang Bing's marriage.

Regarding love, Zhang Bing said: "She and I have known each other since childhood, one at the head of the village and one at the end of the village. We can't talk about any feelings. Everyone urged me, and I had no bottom in my heart. Thinking about it, rather than finding a stranger, it's better to live with an acquaintance."

"So we got married. The wedding bride price was a pig weighing more than 300 pounds. The family was so poor that it was clinking, and we couldn't afford the money. My wife hugged two new cotton quilts and followed me."

Zhou Zhangming asked: "Then you have been admitted to university now, what about your sister-in-law, what should you do?"

Regarding this question, there seems to be another story inside, which is more complicated. Zhang Bing fell into deep thought in the smoke. Seeing that he was silent for a long time, everyone tactfully changed the subject.

It's just that the topic went around and around, and finally went around to the girls in the class.

Girls seem to be an eternal topic for male compatriots, never out of date, never tired, and it ignores class and identity, and can string a dormitory of people together, happy and harmonious.

Isn't it? The young men chatted and became high, couldn't stop their feet, and excitedly tossed the beautiful girls in the class one by one.

Li Heng was bored, lying on the bed and making rough statistics for them. In one night, Liu Yue's name was mentioned 41 times.

Hu Ping alone mentioned "Liu Yue" more than 10 times.

Bai Wanying was mentioned 19 times, and a girl named Zhou Min was also mentioned 19 times.

The blonde girl Li Xian was mentioned 17 times.

Li Guoyi felt sorry for the other party and said: "Hey, Bai Wanying is really a pity. If she is healthy, she is definitely a fragrant bait. I guarantee that there will be more people writing love letters to her than Liu Yue."

Once these words came out, the dormitory was a bit quiet.

Everyone understands Little Li's meaning. Liu Yue gives people a feeling of being high above at first glance, like Chang'e in the sky, with a sense of distance, and ordinary people dare not chase.

So Bai Wanying is more approachable.

Zhang Bing said: "I think Bai Wanying is quite good. The body is not important. The soul that actively faces life's difficulties is the most precious."

Tang Dailing spoke up to support: "I agree with Brother Bing's point of view. I admire this kind of tough-minded person the most."

Li Guang said in a muffled voice: "Didn't you find that Li Xian is a bit beautiful, very cute?"

Hu Ping turned over and asked, "Li Guang, buddy, you wouldn't have ideas about her, would you?"

Li Guang waved his hands: "No, no, Hu Ping, don't talk nonsense, otherwise I will fight you!"

Hu Ping pointed at Li Guang and teased: "Look, this kid has a guilty conscience, he must have ideas."

Li Guang refused to admit: "Really not, don't ruin my reputation, I am determined to be the monitor, how can I be trapped by children's love?"

Hu Ping suddenly grinned, "Is that so? Then you go to be the monitor. From tomorrow, I will write a love letter to Li Xian every day."

"Damn! Old Hu, don't be like this, let's discuss it." Li Guang didn't know why, but when he heard Hu Ping wanted to write a love letter, his heart twitched, and his face turned awkward and red.

"Hahaha, dead duck with a hard mouth!"

"It's really bold, this is just the first day of school."

Li Guang's thoughts were clear to everyone as soon as they heard it, and they ridiculed him one after another.

Once the topic of women started, it was endless, and they were still unfinished until late at night.

Seeing that Li Heng hadn't spoken for a long time, Li Guoyi aimed a sentence: "Meow, meow, Old Li, are you asleep?"

Li Guang took the conversation: "I just said, are you asleep?"

Li Guoyi said: "I didn't call you, I called Li Heng."

Li Guang said: "I am also surnamed Li, older than Li Heng, you have to distinguish, he will be called Little Li, Little Li Zi in the future."

Damn, hearing the title Little Li Zi, isn't this the title of the great eunuch Li Lianying? Nicknames can often accompany a person for a lifetime. Li Heng couldn't bear it, and sat up:

"Li Guang, why don't we compare, I'll let you have three moves first, don't say I beat my classmates on the first day of school, it doesn't sound good to say it out."

Li Guang was unconvinced, "Who beats who is not necessarily, I am a grassland man, I have been wrestling and shooting arrows since I was a child."

Since junior high school, when encountering differences, Li Heng had developed the temper of making friends through martial arts. Hearing this, he immediately said nothing, walked to Li Guang's bed, and threw the other party to the ground in three or two strokes.

"Ouch! It hurts me to death, what was your move just now?" Li Guang climbed up from the ground, covering his butt and shouting in pain.

Everyone else was stunned.

They didn't understand why Li Guang was so unable to fight? He fell to the ground just after talking big, which was too shameful.

Li Heng rolled up his sleeves and got out of bed, "You care what move I have, just ask Old Li and Little Li Zi, which one do you want?"

"Brother! Brother Heng! Don't come again, I surrender." Knowing that his martial arts were not at the same level, Li Guang didn't dare to show his teeth, and immediately gave up the title of "Old Li".

Li Heng then happily returned to his bed.

Li Guang patted his butt and asked happily: "Old Li, why didn't you make a sound tonight? We all thought you were asleep."

Li Heng said: "You guys have been discussing how to chase girls just now. I'm not interested in chasing girls. I'm waiting for girls to chase me."

"Damn!"

"Can't bear it, brothers."

"..."

Everyone spit and sprayed, and they didn't sleep until very late.

For breakfast the next day, Dormitory 325 went to the cafeteria together. On the way, they could meet many such teams. At a glance, they knew they were freshmen of the 87th grade.

As a person who has come over, Li Heng deeply understands that such a united action in a dormitory basically only appears in the freshman year and some special days, regardless of boys or girls.

Because as time goes by, dormitory classmates will be divided into several small groups according to various factors such as personality, family background, ambition, and hobbies.

Especially after having elective courses and their own opposite-sex friends, the dormitory will split faster.

It was a coincidence. When they arrived at the cafeteria, they saw the girl with broken Chinese, Li Xian, from far away.

Li Guoyi knocked on the aluminum lunch box with a spoon and winked at Li Guang: "Brother Guang, should we go over?"

Hearing this, Li Heng and the others stared at Li Guang with meaningful eyes, waiting for him to speak.

Unexpectedly, Li Guang was cowardly. He was still swearing in the dormitory last night, but when he met the real person, his face was flushed, and he didn't even dare to look at Li Xian's direction more.

Zhou Zhangming laughed: "Brothers, look, Li Guang is shy."

"Damn, who said I was shy, I'll go now." As he said, the mouth-strong king Li Guang walked in the opposite direction, making everyone happy.

The food in the cafeteria in this era is really cheap. A bowl of plain noodles for breakfast is only 1 dime. If you are extravagant, pork ribs noodles or beef noodles are 2 dimes at most.

And the main meals for lunch and dinner are 4-6 dimes for one meat and one vegetable.

One dime can eat a small dish, 2 dimes of dishes have meat, 3 dimes of dishes have more meat, and 4 dimes of dishes are half meat.

Hehe, 10 yuan is enough for a dormitory to go to a small restaurant outside the school to have a good meal.

Of course, this does not include soda and alcoholic beverages. After all, alcohol is cheap and expensive, and it is a bottomless pit.

A simple breakfast exposed the economic situation of 325.

Zhang Bing and Tang Dailing didn't even look at the food with meat, and directly ordered a bowl of plain noodles.

On the contrary, Li Guoyi, Li Guang, and Hu Ping went straight to the noodles with meat.

Zhou Zhangming looked at the plain noodles, then looked at the noodles with meat, and carefully observed the choices of others in the dormitory, and finally ordered a bowl of plain noodles.

Three pairs of three, tacitly maintaining balance.

Li Heng usually doesn't like pasta, and there is no chili in the cafeteria, and it lacks soul mountain pepper oil. If there were other choices on the spot, the noodles would be abandoned by him directly. Finally, he bought two siu mai and a cup of tofu pudding.

Actually, it was quite awkward for the six of them to sit at a table. Li Guoyi, Li Guang, and Hu Ping secretly regretted that they started too fast and should have eaten plain noodles.

However, with Li Heng's return, this subtle situation was instantly shattered. He brought up the atmosphere at the dining table with a few words, and then everyone was relieved, enjoying the food in the bowl.

"Hi! Good morning, classmates, can we sit here?"

Just when the dormitory people were talking and laughing, Li Xian with a golden ponytail came over with a bowl of beef noodles, her face full of cute smiles.

Beside her were Zhou Min and a girl named Chen Guifen.

Looking up and seeing Li Xian, the guilty Li Guang instinctively shrank his body, and suddenly felt a bit unnatural.

But except for Li Guang, the others in Dormitory 325 were completely watching the fun and not afraid of big things, and they all expressed a warm welcome: "Sit! Sit! It's lively with more people."

Sitting down with her partners, Li Xian asked timidly: "Am I too bold, did I scare you?"

The speaking speed was relatively slow, and coupled with the non-standard pronunciation, it gave everyone an unprecedented freshness.

Facing the girl's question, everyone was silent and looked at Li Guang in unison.

Li Xian didn't understand the way, and asked with her tongue bitten: "Why do you look at him like this?"

Li Heng, who was closest, said straight away: "Li Guang is our dormitory head and also our dormitory's external spokesperson."

Zhou Min and Chen Guifen looked at each other and giggled, obviously not believing it.

However, Li Xian had lived abroad since she was a child, and her thinking was much more open than the domestic one in this era. She didn't think there was anything wrong with taking the initiative to find male classmates for breakfast, and she didn't even think about the catty of Li Heng's six people, oh and said:

"Then classmate Li Guang, why is the meat on your face shaking?"

Shaking!!!

The boys at the table suddenly broke their defenses and laughed.

Even Zhou Min and Chen Guifen felt something was wrong and followed suit.

Li Guang, who had facial muscle cramps due to being too nervous, was ashamed. His right hand clenched his chopsticks, and he wanted to find a hole to drill into.

Zhou Min quietly pulled Li Xian's clothes under the table and whispered in her ear: "Li Guang is shy."

Li Xian blinked her big eyes and asked Li Guang, "Why are you shy when you see me?"

Oh my god, terrible!

What kind of monster did this provoke.

Even Li Heng, who had lived for two lives, almost laughed his stomach out, not to mention the others. Breakfast couldn't be eaten, and everyone was waiting to watch the show.

Li Guang swore that it was the first time in his life that he stuttered, "I, I, I haven't talked to such a beautiful girl before."

Li Xian puffed her cheeks: "Am I beautiful? Liu Yue is beautiful."

Then she said: "You have to talk to me more, and you won't be shy."

Li Guang nodded repeatedly. This sounded like the sound of nature, but the next second he was constipated again.

I saw Li Xian's eyes glance, sweeping over everyone one by one, and finally staying on Li Heng:

"Li Heng, are you really from Xiangnan? Why is your Mandarin so good?"

Li Heng said modestly: "Ah? Is it good? Thank you."

Li Xian nodded: "Yes, the girls in the class all say that your Mandarin is the most standard, without any regional accent at all. Let me learn from you, will it disturb you?"

Knowing that this girl was eager to change her pronunciation, Li Heng did not refuse: "It will not disturb, you can find us to chat more in the class in the future."

"Really?" Li Xian asked happily.

"Um." Li Heng said um casually, drinking tofu pudding.

Li Xian asked: "Then do you have a girlfriend?"

Hearing this, everyone at the table didn't want to eat breakfast, and turned their heads to look at Li Heng.

Before Li Heng could answer, Li Guang was anxious, and he didn't care about being shy and stuttering, and directly snatched the words: "This, this, this, what does it have to do with whether Old Li has a girlfriend?"

Li Xian blinked again: "Guess?"

Li Guang was inexplicably angry, and blurted out, "You, you wouldn't have taken a fancy to our Old Li, would you?"

A touch of shyness flashed on Li Xian's face, and then she returned to normal, and then took out a box of dark chocolate from her school bag and gently put it in front of Li Heng:

"Please trouble classmate Li Heng to teach me Mandarin in the future. This is the tuition fee."

After speaking, without waiting for Li Heng to answer, Li Xian pulled Zhou Min's clothes, and then quickly got up and left.

Seeing this, Zhou Min and Chen Guifen smiled at Li Heng and followed.

Walking and walking, until they walked out of the cafeteria door, Li Xian dared to stop to catch her breath.

Zhou Min was very surprised: "Why are you so anxious? You just met for a day, and you attacked?"

Li Xian lowered her head: "In Korea, my sisters, when they meet a boy they like, they all attack quickly. I learned from them."

Chen Guifen chimed in: "This is domestic, the atmosphere is different. It's best not to reveal your thoughts without half a year or a year of getting along. You will scare Li Heng like this."

"Is the result really that bad"

"100%."

Li Xian said worriedly: "I'm afraid he will be snatched away. Yesterday I saw him come in from the school gate with a very beautiful girl."

Zhou Min: "..."

Chen Guifen asked: "How beautiful?"

Li Xian racked her brains to think, and finally said: "My Chinese vocabulary is poor, I don't know how to describe it."

Chen Guifen was also speechless.

On the other side, the cafeteria.

The male compatriots at the table looked at each other, even Li Heng, the person involved, was confused by the girl's head-on approach.

"I really, I, I want to die...!" Staring at the dark chocolate on the table, Li Guang's face turned green.

Li Heng slowly swallowed the tofu pudding in his mouth, ignored Li Guang, then picked up the chocolate and left the cafeteria.

Fortunately, the three girls were whispering on the grass and didn't go far.

Sensing Li Heng coming over, Li Xian, Zhou Min, and Chen Guifen stopped talking and stared at him intently.

Coming to Li Xian, Li Heng put the chocolate in her hand and showed a warm smile:

"Thank you, Comrade Li Xian, but this thing is too valuable, I am ashamed to accept it. Wait until I teach you Mandarin in the future, then invite me to eat."

Refusing chocolate now is refusing her heart.

Willing to eat her chocolate in the future is equivalent to hard labor remuneration.

This eating and that eating have completely different meanings.

Seeing that the three girls were still stunned, Li Heng didn't stay long, said "I'm going to the counselor's place", and left with a smile.

Looking at the back going away, Chen Guifen was the first to speak, "Look, I knew it would scare him."

Seeing Li Xian stupid and at a loss, Zhou Min comforted: "Let's go, let's find a clean grass, and I and Guifen will teach you Mandarin."

Being pushed for a long way, Li Xian asked frustratedly: "My father once said that a woman chasing a man is separated by a layer of gauze, why is it not working for me? Are boys in China so hard to chase?"

Zhou Min corrected: "It's not gauze, it's gauze, no! It's a woman chasing a man separated by a layer of gauze."

Chen Guifen found it funny, "Because you have sharp eyes and picked a difficult one."

In one breath, they came to the Third Teaching Building. Li Heng went straight to the counselor's office. Unexpectedly, it was crowded with people, all freshmen who reported for other majors in the Management School.

Fortunately, the counselor saw him and didn't let him wait long. He pulled open the drawer, took out a bicycle purchase ticket from it, handed it to him and said: "You just take it to the supply and marketing cooperative in Wujiao Square."

This is exactly what he needed. Li Heng didn't be polite, took it and said: "Teacher"

The counselor seemed to guess what he was going to say, waved his hand to interrupt, "No need to thank, invite me to dinner when you have time."

Since the female comrade is so generous, how can Li Heng be petty? He immediately happily agreed, "Then teacher, you are busy first, I have something to do, I'm leaving."

"Wait." The counselor called him.

Li Heng stopped in place and turned around.

The counselor got up, pulled open the curtain hanging in the middle of the office, and took out a flute and an erhu from behind the curtain:

"This thing is not mine, entrusted by others."

Li Heng asked, "Who?"

The counselor said: "Don't ask me such questions in the future, guess for yourself."

After saying that, the counselor sat back in the office chair and continued to be busy.

Li Heng glanced at the flute, then glanced at the erhu, damn it! They are all good goods. Compared with the flute he bought at Dongting Lake during the summer vacation, it seems a bit unpresentable.

He suddenly felt a little regretful, a little mischievous.

If he had known that the person behind him was so generous, he should have said he could play the piano at the class meeting last night.

Damn, would you send a piano?

A blurry figure flashed in his mind, then he took two steps forward and said to the counselor who was busy filling out the report form: "Teacher, borrow your bicycle."

The counselor looked at him and pulled open the drawer again, taking out the key from inside: "Do you recognize my car?"

"Pink, on the right side of the door, I saw it when I came just now." Li Heng said.

"There are two pink ones there, don't take the wrong one." The counselor said.

This is nonsense.

One key for one hole, can it be wrong?

Is it possible to use it as a universal key, insert it if there is a hole?

"Teacher, don't worry, it won't be wrong." Li Heng thanked him and went out with the erhu and flute.

Leaving a room full of freshmen secretly guessing: Who is this person?

PS: Wang Huilun in the previous chapter was renamed Liu Yue.
