Chapter 420: I have a girlfriend, why am I coming here to make up the numbers?

Autumn has arrived, and it is the season for animals to give birth, but some slow-witted people are slow to realize it and think that spring has just arrived.

Li Ye was lying on his bed in his Peking University dormitory, flipping through the manuscript of "The Longest Day in Chang'an" casually, when his roommate Chen Sihai suddenly leaned over to look at him.

"Li Ye, can I borrow your sneakers for a try?"

Li Ye looked at the manuscript without moving his eyes.

"Which shoes are you talking about?"

"The ones with three stripes."

"Oh, you can wear that pair! It's for you. I have a new pair."

"Fuck, Big Brother is Big Brother, so open-minded."

Chen Sihai quickly put on Li Ye's sneakers and lay down on the head of Sun Xianjin's bed again.

"First, can you lend me your hair oil?"

Sun Xianjin said calmly, "Old Chen, you've got the wrong person. How can someone like me, with a family to support, need hair oil? You should ask Old Wu for it."

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

Chen Sihai put on his clothes and went out, going to other dormitories to find hair oil.

Now we are all in our third year and have long lost the reservedness we had when we first entered school. We can just push open the door of a dormitory and ask for this and that like a social bull, and generally no one is stingy.

Seeing Chen Sihai leaving the dormitory, Sun Xianjin said with a smile, "Brother Yi, what's wrong with Old Chen? He was so focused on studying and cutting off his romantic ties in the past two years, why is he suddenly so wild this semester?"

"Waves? What do you mean by waves?"

Li Ye smiled and said, "It's a waste of youth if a man doesn't indulge in romance. This is human nature, Old Chen. You're already a junior now. If you don't hurry up and find a girlfriend, you'll really miss your stop!"

"He can't catch the train now," Sun Xianjin said with a sneer, "You came late yesterday, so you didn't see the scene of welcoming new students at the gate of our school.

A pretty girl can have five senior classmates helping her carry her luggage. There are too many wolves and too little meat. People like Lao Chen who are just putting together a job temporarily basically have no competitiveness. "

“.”

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

When Li Ye entered the university in 1982, students at Peking University were still very shy. Some students did not dare to accept invitations from girls to dance at class dances.

Only a smart guy like Yu Minhong would try every possible means, even threatening to commit suicide by jumping into the lake, to get a girl in school and finally achieve his goal.

At that time, college romance was still very pure and sacred. After Yu Minhong married his girlfriend, his life was difficult, and his wife only scolded him a few words, and they still supported each other.

But it has only been two years. Has a boy like Chen Sihai learned to hit on girls of lower grades?

Does this mean that this pure and sacred love will gradually begin to change?

Li Ye thought about it, suddenly got out of bed, put on a sweatshirt and shorts, and walked out.

"Brother, where are you going?"

"Go to the school gate and help the girl with her luggage."

“.”

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

When the two arrived at the school gate, they saw a lot of people from afar. However, it was different from what Sun Xianjin said. There was no scene of five senior students helping a girl with her luggage, because there were people from the student union maintaining order.

There were many boys who squatted in a place far away, chatting and looking around, just to satisfy their eyes at most.

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

"Old Chen, aren't you wasting your time just squatting here? You have to get going! Don't be a coward!"

“.”

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 see if there is any chance to help the freshmen."

"Really? So what are you guys talking about?"

"We're talking about sports. Did you watch the Olympics over the summer? They were so inspiring, especially the gymnastics guy."

A group of juniors and seniors were actually discussing national affairs.

In 1984, the achievements of Olympic athletes were truly a major national event. During the days when the gymnastics prince won championships one after another, adults and children who had the opportunity to watch TV would all be nervous and excited for his every competition.

"In fact, I still think the women's volleyball team is the best, because many gymnastics masters did not go to Los Angeles this time, but the top three women's volleyball teams in the world all participated. Our women's volleyball team won convincingly."

In the 1984 Olympics, Moscow called on its younger brothers not to go to the Lighthouse to compete, so many gymnastics champions were missing, but the three women's volleyball teams of Rabbit, Eagle Sauce and Foot Basin Chicken were recognized as the strongest at that time.

However, the Rabbit Women's Volleyball Team, which had undergone personnel adjustments, defeated everyone in a row and eventually won three consecutive championships.

"But I read in the newspaper that our women's volleyball team won because of Pengcheng Red Bull."

"Don't listen to their nonsense. It's true that drinking Pengcheng Red Bull can refresh you, but if you say that drinking it can help you win the championship, I will just drink it like water."

"Okay, okay, you're only concerned about who wins the championship. Don't you see something more important and urgent?"

A senior student suddenly spoke with a serious expression, attracting everyone's attention.

"Something more important? What?"

"Yes, what's the matter, old Hou? Tell me!"

The old student named Lao Hou said, "This time, only 16 countries boycotted the Los Angeles Olympics, and the number of participants also broke the record. Do you remember how many people did not go to Moscow when Dengta boycotted Russia in the 1980 Olympics?"

"How do we know this? In the 1980s, I was still herding sheep in my hometown!"

"Hey, Lao Hou, stop keeping us in suspense and just say what you want to say."

Lao Hou sighed and said, "Students, the big Mao in the north is showing signs of exhaustion. Maybe if it can hold on for another ten years, it will lose to the lighthouse!"

“.”

A group of students who were originally thinking about seeing the girls were all shocked and then began to ponder and reminisce.

Li Ye looked at Lao Hou in surprise, thinking that as expected, one cannot judge a book by its cover; this old man is quite something.

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

At the 1980 Moscow Olympics, Dengta led a group of his followers to boycott the Olympics in order to prevent Russia from sending troops to Afghanistan.

There were only eighty sports delegations that arrived in Moscow, and sixteen of them did not fly their national flags, ten countries had only one flag bearer, and even after winning the championship, these countries did not raise their national flags or play their national anthems.

Moreover, there were more journalists covering the Moscow Olympics than athletes participating in the competition, which shows how popular the Lighthouse was.

Now it is 1984. Russia responded by boycotting the Los Angeles Olympics, but it only caused this much noise. So when Lao Hou said that Russia was exhausted, it seemed shocking, but it was actually the truth.

Damao was sliding faster and faster down the slope and couldn't stop the car.

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

"Impossible? Russia has 50,000 tanks."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. Russia's system is the best for fighting. How could he lose? How could he lose?"

Chen Sihai didn't believe it either. He turned his head and looked at Li Ye: "Brother Yi, you studied international economics. Do you think it's possible that Da Mao will lose?"

“.”

Li Ye looked at Chen Sihai and the other people's eyes that were attracted to him, and said, "I can't judge the outcome, but the population of Mao is insufficient, and it is really too difficult to fight against the Western camp led by the Lighthouse."

As soon as Li Ye finished speaking, someone asked in confusion: "Insufficient population? Mao has hundreds of millions of people. How can there be insufficient population? What is your theory, classmate?"

"Yes! Our teacher also said that we have too many people. It would be best if we had a country like Mao, where the land is vast and the resources per capita are abundant!"

Li Ye smiled and said, "If you don't engage in national-level confrontation, there's nothing wrong with having a vast territory and a sparse population. But if you engage in confrontation like Russia did, you need to invest a large number of people in heavy industries related to military industry."

"The low efficiency of heavy industry, if not compensated by other industries, will seriously drag down a country's economic situation, and the consequence is that the country will become poor.

There is not enough population for full development, so the more we fight, the more difficult it will be."

“.”

After listening to Li Ye's words, a group of students were all thoughtful.

And that old Hou moved over and stretched out his hand to shake Li Ye's hand: "Classmate, are you studying international economics? Which level?"

Li Ye shook hands with Lao Hou and said, "I am Li Ye from the 82nd grade."

Old Hou nodded. "I'm Hou Hongxiang from the 81st Sociology Department, Room 306, Dormitory Building 9. I'll keep in touch."

"Okay, let's talk later."

Li Ye was indifferent to it. After all, one more friend means one more way. It is not as difficult to find a job with a sociology major now as it will be in the future. Maybe he will become a local lord in the future!

"Classmate, how do I get to the reporting office?"

“.”

Everyone was wondering when Da Mao would lose, but suddenly a girl came over to ask for directions.

A group of students who were thinking about national affairs suddenly forgot about them.

"Just turn left in front, and then... How about I take you there?"

"What are those people in front doing? You are carrying such heavy things, why don't you help them? I'll do it, I'll do it."

“.”

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

“.”

There was silence within a radius of thirty meters, and then a group of students moved their feet with sullen faces, excluding Li from the group.

But the next moment, everyone looked at Li Ye and slowly shook his head and said, "Sorry, I'm waiting for my girlfriend here. You can ask other classmates to take you there."

The group of students who had just moved away moved back again.

Especially Chen Sihai, who had applied hair oil, had a shiny forehead that was particularly eye-catching.

But the girl said calmly: "No thanks."

“.”

Seeing the girl walking away alone, a group of boys collectively looked down on Li Ye and moved more than ten meters away again, completely isolating Li Ye.

"You have a girlfriend and you come over to make up the numbers, what's the fuss?"
