Chapter 399

: ppxs

Autumn is here, and it's the season for animals to have babies again, but some slow-witted guys are lagging behind, thinking that spring has just arrived.

Li Ye was lying on the bed in the Jingda dormitory, flipping through the manuscript of "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an" at will, when his roommate Chen Chen Sihai suddenly poked his head up.

"Li Ye, can I borrow your sneakers to wear?"

Li Ye looked at the manuscript without moving his gaze.

"Which pair of shoes are you talking about?"

"That pair with the three stripes."

"Oh, you can take that pair to wear! It's yours; I have a new pair."

"Holy crap, Brother One is Brother One, truly generous."

Chen Chen Sihai stepped into Li Ye's sneakers in two or three steps and lay on Sun Sun Xianjin's headboard again.

"Sun Xianjin, borrow your hair oil."

Sun Sun Xianjin said lightly: "Old Chen, you found the wrong person. Someone like me who has a family, why would I need hair oil? You should go ask Old Wu."

"Damn, Old Wu even wants to borrow my hair oil!"

Chen Chen Sihai put on his clothes and went out the door to find hair oil in other dormitories.

Everyone is already a junior now, and they have long since lost the restraint of when they first entered school. They can push open any dormitory door and ask for this or that like a social butterfly, and generally, everyone won't be stingy.

Seeing Chen Chen Sihai go out the dormitory door, Sun Sun Xianjin laughed and said: "Brother One, you say Old Chen is crazy? He was focused on learning and cutting off love for the past two years, why is he suddenly so 'wavy' (flirty) this semester?"

"'Wavy'? What do you mean by 'wavy'!"

Li Ye smiled and said: "If a person isn't romantic, they aren't a youth. Old Chen is just human nature. It's already junior year; if he doesn't hurry up and find a girlfriend to fall in love with, he'll really miss the bus!"

"He can't catch the train now either," Sun Sun Xianjin curled his lips and said: "You came late yesterday; you didn't see the scene of our school welcoming freshmen."

"A pretty girl can have five senior students helping her with luggage. There are many wolves and little meat. Someone like Old Chen who is temporarily dressing up basically has no competitiveness."

It must be said that the changes in the early 1980s were rapid.

When Li Ye entered school in '82, Jingda students were still very shy. Some students participated in class dance parties and didn't dare to accept invitations from girls to dance.

Only smart people like Yu Yu Minhong would think of various ways, even threatening to "jump into the lake and commit suicide," to get a girl in school and finally achieve a positive result.

At this time, university romance was still very pure and sacred. After Yu Yu Minhong married the girl, life was difficult, but his wife only scolded him a few times and they still supported each other.

But it's only been two years, and boys like Chen Chen Sihai have learned to take action against junior girls?

Does this mean that this pure and sacred love is also gradually beginning to change its taste?

Li Ye thought for a while, suddenly turned over and got out of bed, put on a sweat shirt, wore big shorts, and walked out.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

"Going to the school gate to help girls with luggage."

Sun Sun Xianjin was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly got out of bed and followed.

The two arrived at the school gate, and sure enough, they saw many people from afar, but it was different from what Sun Sun Xianjin said. There was no scene of five seniors helping one girl with luggage at all, because the Student Union was maintaining order.

There were many boys squatting in a place far away, chatting and looking around, at most just satisfying their eyes.

Li Ye found Chen Chen Sihai and squatted down next to him.

"Old Chen, you squatting here is just a waste of two taels of hair oil, isn't it? You have to go up! Don't be a coward!"

Chen Chen Sihai looked at Li Ye and said speechlessly: "Li Ye, we are all civilized people. Don't say such hooligan words. We are discussing national affairs and by the way seeing if there is a chance to help the freshmen..."

"Is that so? Then what are you talking about?"

"We are talking about sports? Did you watch the Olympics during the summer vacation? It was simply too inspiring, especially that gymnast..."

A group of junior and senior students were really discussing national affairs.

In '84, the achievements of Olympic athletes really count as national affairs. In the few days when the gymnastics prince won the championship, as long as there was a chance to watch TV, adults and children would be nervous and happy for every one of his competitions.

"Actually, I still think the women's volleyball team is the most powerful, because this time many gymnastics masters didn't go to Los Angeles, but the world's top three women's volleyball teams all participated, and our women's volleyball team won convincingly."

The '84 Olympics, Moscow called on its little brothers not to go to the Lighthouse (US) to participate, so there were many fewer gymnastics masters, but the rabbit, eagle, and chicken women's volleyball teams at that time were recognized as the strongest.

But the rabbit women's volleyball team, after personnel adjustments, defeated everyone continuously and finally won three consecutive championships.

"But I read the newspaper, saying that our women's volleyball team won because of Pengcheng Pengcheng Hongniu..."

"Don't listen to their nonsense. It's true that Pengcheng Pengcheng Hongniu is refreshing, but you say if drinking it can win the championship, I'll just drink it as water..."

"Alright, alright, you guys only care about who won the championship, but didn't you find more important, more urgent things?"

A senior student named Old Hou suddenly spoke with a serious face, attracting everyone's attention.

"More important things? What things?"

"Yeah, what things? Old Hou, just say it!"

The senior student named Old Hou said: "This time, only sixteen countries boycotted the Los Angeles Olympics, and the number of participants also broke the record. Then do you remember in the '80 Olympics, the Lighthouse boycotted the Big Bear (USSR), how many people didn't go to Moscow?"

"How would we know this? In '80, I was still herding sheep in my hometown!"

"Oh, Old Hou, stop selling suspense. Just say whatever you want to say."

Old Hou sighed and said: "Students, the Big Bear in the north is showing fatigue. Maybe in another ten years or so, it will lose to the Lighthouse."

A group of students who originally wanted to see girls were all shocked and began to think and recall.

And Li Ye looked at Old Hou unexpectedly, thinking that people really shouldn't be judged by their appearance; this senior student has something.

Using the Olympics to engage in politics is a long-standing tradition in the West, and through the many performances at the Olympics, one can reflect the comparison of strength between the two sides.

In the '80 Moscow Olympics, the Lighthouse, because the Big Bear sent troops to Afghanistan, led a group of little brothers to initiate a boycott of participation.

Then, there were only eighty sports delegations that arrived in Moscow, and among them, sixteen countries did not fly their national flags, ten countries only had flag bearers, and some of these countries didn't even raise their national flags or play their national anthems after winning championships.

And there were more reporters covering the Moscow Olympics than athletes, which shows how popular the Lighthouse was at that time.

Now it's '84, the Big Bear retaliated by boycotting the Los Angeles Olympics, but only made such a small stir, so Old Hou saying the Big Bear is showing fatigue, although it sounds shocking, is actually a fact.

The Big Bear is sliding faster and faster on the downhill road and can't stop.

"I still don't believe it. The Big Bear launched the first artificial satellite, and has nuclear weapons, and so many troops, how could it lose to the Lighthouse?"

"Impossible, right? The Big Bear has fifty thousand tanks..."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. The Big Bear's system is the most suitable for fighting, how could it lose? How could it possibly lose?"

Chen Chen Sihai also didn't believe it. He turned his head to look at Li Ye: "Brother One, you study international economics. Do you say it's possible for the Big Bear to lose?"

Li Ye looked at Chen Chen Sihai and the eyes attracted by Chen Chen Sihai, and had to say: "I can't judge the outcome, but the Big Bear's population is insufficient, and it is indeed too strenuous to confront the Western camp led by the Lighthouse."

As soon as Li Ye finished speaking, someone asked in confusion: "Population insufficient? The Big Bear has hundreds of millions of people, how could the population be insufficient? Classmate, what kind of theory is this?"

"Yeah! Our teacher also said our population is too large, and it's best to have vast land and abundant resources like the Big Bear with a rich per capita resource!"

Li Ye smiled and said: "If you don't engage in national-level confrontation, there's nothing wrong with being sparsely populated, but if you engage in confrontation like the Big Bear, you need to invest a large amount of population to engage in heavy industry related to the military industry."

"The efficiency of heavy industry is not high. If there are no other industries to compensate, it will seriously drag down a country's economic situation, and the consequence is that the country becomes poor."

"Without enough population for comprehensive development, so... the more you confront, the more strenuous it becomes."

A group of students listened to Li Ye's words, all thoughtful.

And that Old Hou moved over and shook hands with Li Ye: "Classmate, are you studying international economics? Which grade are you in?"

Li Ye shook hands with Old Hou and said: "I am Li Ye from the '82 grade."

Old Hou nodded: "I am Hou Hongxiang from the '81 Sociology grade, Building 9, Room 306, let's keep in touch."

"Okay, let's talk when we have time."

Li Ye didn't care much; anyway, having more friends means having more paths. Sociology majors in this era aren't as difficult to find jobs as in later generations, and people might be princes in one region in the future!

"Classmate, may I ask how to get to the reporting office?"

Everyone was thinking about when the Big Bear would lose, but suddenly a girl came to ask for directions.

A group of students thinking about national affairs suddenly threw national affairs to the back of their minds.

"It's just turning left from the front, then... why don't I take you there!"

"What are those people in front doing? You're carrying such heavy things, why don't they send you? I'll come, I'll come..."

The girl pushed the glasses on her face and said to Li Ye in the crowd: "Classmate, can you take me there?"

Within thirty meters, it became quiet, and then a group of students moved their feet with cold faces, excluding Li Someone from the group.

But the next moment, everyone watched Li Ye shake his head slowly and say: "Sorry, I'm waiting for my girlfriend here. You can find other classmates to take you there."

The group of students who had moved their feet moved back again.

Especially Chen Chen Sihai, who had applied hair oil, his forehead was shiny and particularly conspicuous.

But the girl said lightly: "Then no need, thank you."

Watching the girl walk away alone, a group of boys collectively despised Li Ye and moved more than ten meters away again, completely isolating Li Ye.

"Having a girlfriend and still coming to make up the numbers, are you kidding?"
