Chapter 58 Opening Ceremony



The next morning she took the bus to school. Fortunately, the opening ceremony started at 9 o'clock and there was no traffic jam, so she still had plenty of time.

The ceremony was held in the school's auditorium. The backdrop of the rostrum was a large red curtain with large photos of the founding fathers hung on it. Four pairs of red flags were symmetrically planted below it. Four tables and chairs were placed in front of the red flags. At the very front of the rostrum was a set of tables and chairs with a microphone on it. A long wire was connected to the equipment on the side of the stage.

When she arrived at the venue, it was neither too early nor too late, and half of the seats were still empty, so she found a seat near the back and sat down. There, no one would notice if she made some small movements.

At 9 o'clock, the music started, the chattering in the audience stopped, and a few people walked out on the stage.

Several people stood in front of the table and did not sit down. It seemed that there was still a ceremony to be held. As expected, the national anthem was sung next.

There was no one present who could not sing the national anthem, so the chorus was particularly loud. After the singing died down, the school leaders spoke.

A middle-aged man sat down at the speaking position, and she didn't know who was sitting in the four seats behind him.

The meeting started with him. The uncle was Director Miao of Qing University. Most of his speeches were about school rules and mottos, reminding students to abide by their duties.

Next came Director Zhang, who was in charge of the Life Department. She compared the campus to a home and told students not to feel any burden and that they could turn to the school for solutions to any problems they had.

After that, Vice-President Shi of Qing University spoke for more than half an hour. The principal was Principal Tan, whom Lin Ximan had met before, and he was the last to appear.

I have to say that a big shot is a big shot, and the article is really well written. Anyway, Lin Ximan can't write such a passionate article.

However, this was the first college entrance examination after the turmoil, and not only the principal and teachers were excited, but the students in the audience were also excited.

Because as long as one graduates from school, he (she) will start as a cadre and have a bright future.

By the time the ceremony ended, it was already noon, and the students went directly to the cafeteria. Because there were many students enrolled this time, the school opened another cafeteria, increasing the number of cafeterias from the original two to three.

I don’t know which canteen has good food, so I can only clear the mines bit by bit.

She exchanged 50 yuan for meal tickets at one time. The meal tickets nowadays are not the meal cards of later generations. The meal tickets at that time were made of hard plastic, which was very thin and therefore very tough.

Meal tickets are like money, with the words "Huaqing University Meal Ticket" printed on one side and the amount below. There are 1 cent, 2 cents, 5 cents, 10 cents, 20 cents, 50 cents, 1 yuan, 2 yuan, and no higher. No one would spend more than 2 yuan on a meal.

At noon, she had two dishes, one meat and one vegetable, and a meal, which only cost her 80 cents. This place is much cheaper than state-owned restaurants.

But the taste was just average. After she got used to the delicacies produced in the space, she became more and more picky.

It's okay once or twice, but she will definitely not be used to it after a long time. It seems that she needs to think carefully about how to solve the problem of eating.

She also discovered a problem while eating. During the registration and opening ceremony, most of the students were freshmen of this year. Now at lunch, she found that two-thirds of the students in this school were men, and there were very few female students, including this year's freshmen, who also had more men than women.

Among the few girls, most of them have average looks and very few are pretty, let alone those who are as pretty as her, so she has been under the spotlight since she reported yesterday.

She didn't care. She was ready to attract attention by showing off her appearance. Here, there were no neighbors who had watched her grow up. Everything was new, new people to meet, and a newly opened school.

After resting for a while in the dormitory at noon, I went to the classroom with my schoolbag on my back. This was what Director Zhang said just after the ceremony. It seemed that he was going to write something.

When she arrived at the classroom, she found that there were so many people. People were sitting next to each other, even closer than when watching a movie. Even so, this large classroom was almost full.

The male students basically wore black or blue cotton-padded jackets, while the female students were better. Some wore cotton-padded jackets made of plaid cloth, some wore flowery cotton-padded jackets, and some wore cotton-padded jackets made of solid-color cotton cloth. Most of them were new, while others were old.

It really has the characteristics of this era. Gray, blue, black and green dominate the colors of Chinese clothing now.

But she is not included in this. Although the long down jacket she is wearing is also blue, it is very different from the navy blue of today. It is a bright sapphire blue with a wide elastic belt of the same color buckled around her waist, and she is wearing a pair of black Martin boots on her feet.

This set of clothes of hers only appeared in this era, so she dared to take it out and wear it. Kyoto is also very cold in January.

Besides, she was not the only one among her classmates who wore brightly colored clothes, although those were worn underneath because cotton-padded jackets at that time had few patterns.

As soon as she entered the classroom, she attracted many eyes. As for what was behind those eyes, she didn't know and didn't care. She just wanted to live her student life well.

Lin Ximan found a corner and sat down. There was really no other place to sit. It seemed that she would have to come early to reserve a seat for class next time.

Soon the instructor came in with a stack of papers, calling it a baseline test. Lin Ximan smiled when she heard this. It seemed that Principal Tan took her words to heart. This way, they could find out if there was an imposter.

"Students in the first eight rows, please stand up and go to the next classroom. Students who remain will sit back down, with one seat between each person." The instructor began to instruct the students to rearrange their seats.

When Lin Ximan saw the test paper, she found that the questions were still high school knowledge, and the difficulty was similar to that of the college entrance examination. This set of papers might be the papers eliminated from the college entrance examination.

We took four exams this afternoon. When we returned to the dormitory, everyone looked exhausted. None of the eight of us were in the mood to talk. We all wanted to go to bed quickly because we had three more exams tomorrow.

The next morning, we took three more exams. In the afternoon, the students were allowed to rest while the teachers began to mark the papers in a hurry. Classes officially started on the third day.

Three days later, when Principal Tan received the comparison charts of all the report cards, he found that what Lin said actually happened.

He picked up the phone and called Principal Zhou of the Foreign Languages College, "Mr. Zhou, are the results of your school out yet?"

"It seems that the results of your school are out. Is what Xiaolin said right?" Principal Zhou asked back.

Principal Tan sighed and said, "She's right. There are 12 students in our school with abnormal academic performance. What about you?"

"It's similar to yours. There are also more than 10 abnormal cases. It seems that such things are not only happening in Kyoto. It is possible that all the schools in this batch of recruiting students have such things. It seems that we need to report it." Principal Zhou also has quite a few cases here.

"Well, let's report it together. I hope it's still in time."
