Chapter 87 Jiang Ruoxi officially starts college life
The gears of life are still turning slowly. With her vision for the future, Jiang Ruoxi officially started a new chapter of study at Peking University.
On the first day of school, the sun shines through the mottled leaves and onto the campus paths. Jiang Ruoxi arrived at the classroom early, found a seat in the front row and sat down, and also saved seats for her five roommates. After a while, Yang Mina and four other people came to the classroom and saw that Jiang Ruoxi had already taken a seat, so the five of them walked to the empty seat next to Jiang Ruoxi and sat down.
"Ruoxi, why are you here so early?" Yang Mina asked.
"It's not too early. I came and saw there was an empty seat. I saw you guys weren't here, so I saved the seat for you!"
The five people were just about to chat for a while when they heard someone calling out that the counselor was coming. As soon as the words fell, they saw the counselor walking into the classroom with steady steps. The counselor stood on the podium with an upright posture and a kind smile on his face.
She cleared her throat and said gently: "Hello, students. I am your counselor Zhou Menghua. In the coming days, if you encounter any problems in your daily life, you can come to my office. Don't be polite!" The students nodded one after another, full of trust in this new counselor.
Zhou Menghua then glanced around the classroom, his eyes full of expectations: "University is a brand new starting point. Class management cannot be separated from everyone's joint efforts. Next, let's elect a class monitor. The class monitor is not only the teacher's right-hand man, but also the backbone of the class, leading our big family to make progress together. Everyone can recommend themselves or recommend trustworthy and capable classmates around them!"
As soon as the words fell, the classroom suddenly became lively. The students whispered to each other, discussing the suitable candidates in their minds. When Jiang Ruoxi heard that the instructor wanted to choose a class monitor, she looked around with some curiosity, but her face suddenly became unnatural. She subconsciously lowered her head very low, almost burying it in the book open on the desk, as if this could hide herself in the crowd.
She prayed silently in her heart that the instructor would not notice her. Studying in Peking University was her dream. In order to absorb nutrients in this palace of knowledge, she rushed between school and residence every day. The busy commute made her exhausted. She had to race against time in her spare time to review her lessons and preview new knowledge. She really had no extra time and energy to manage the complicated affairs of the class.
Besides, she is introverted by nature and prefers to focus on her studies in her own little world. She has no interest in worrying about trivial matters in class. Therefore, at this moment, she only hoped that the instructor would take his eyes off her and choose anyone to be the class monitor, as long as it was not her.
Just as she was feeling sad, a classmate in the front row suddenly raised his hand and loudly recommended Li Changzheng from the next dormitory. Jiang Ruoxi felt relieved and her tense nerves relaxed a little, thinking that the focus had finally shifted away from herself.
The counselor's eyes moved slowly around the classroom and noticed that many students enthusiastically recommended Li Changzheng. He nodded slightly, reached out and picked up Li Changzheng's admission information, and looked through it carefully. According to the file, Li Changzheng had excellent grades and rich social practice experience. Overall, he was indeed an outstanding student. The instructor made up his mind and announced on the spot that Li Changzheng would be the class monitor.
The election continued in a heated atmosphere. Soon, Su Qiming from Heilongjiang Province was unanimously elected as the study committee member by his classmates due to his solid knowledge reserves and positive attitude.
The class cadre election was successfully concluded. The instructor, with a satisfied smile on his face, began to introduce the lecturers to everyone: "Students, I will introduce two very important teachers to you next. The one who teaches you political economics is Professor Yang Sizheng. Professor Yang has profound attainments in the academic field and has unique insights into political economics. His class is always full of practical knowledge, and I believe it will bring a lot of inspiration to everyone; and our public course teacher Zhao Dehou, Teacher Zhao has rich teaching experience and rigorous academic research. While imparting knowledge and answering questions, he also pays great attention to cultivating everyone's moral cultivation!"
After the instructor finished his introduction, he raised his hand slightly and gave the podium to Professor Yang Sizheng. Professor Yang walked forward steadily. He was thin, with wisdom and gentleness in his eyes. He was wearing a Zhongshan suit that was a little faded from washing but neat and straight. He gently put down the lesson plan and slowly swept his eyes across the students in the audience. The classroom instantly became quiet. Everyone held their breath, waiting for the start of this political economy class with great anticipation.
Professor Yang raised his hand and pushed his glasses up, saying, "Students, welcome to the knowledge palace of political economics. This subject will help you gain insight into the underlying logic of economic operation and analyze the inherent laws of social development..."
In class, Professor Yang's lectures flowed like a gurgling stream, slowly infusing complex political economics theories into the hearts of students. The chalk in his hand danced on the blackboard, stopping from time to time, his eyes sweeping over the focused faces in the audience. For some reason, during the lecture, Professor Yang's eyes fell on Jiang Ruoxi many times.
When the course progressed to the chapter on socialist public ownership and multiple economic components, Professor Yang slowed down his speech slightly, raised his voice slightly, and asked: "Could Jiang Ruoxi answer this question? What is the difference between socialist public ownership and multiple economic components?"
In an instant, the atmosphere in the entire classroom froze, and all the students' eyes were focused on Jiang Ruoxi like spotlights.
Jiang Ruoxi was originally immersed in thinking about some knowledge points, but when her name was suddenly called, her body suddenly stiffened. She subconsciously tightened her grip on the pen, her knuckles turning white from the force. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, she slowly stood up, her brain working rapidly, trying to recall the contents of the textbook and Professor Yang's explanation just now. After a brief panic, she calmed down and began to answer: "Socialist public ownership is the foundation of the socialist economic system. Like public ownership and collective ownership, assets belong to all the people or collective members, which dominates the country's economic lifeline, ensures national economic security and stable development, and embodies the superiority of the socialist system. Various economic components include individual economy and private economy. Individual economy is the ownership of production materials by individual workers or families to engage in individual labor and management. Private economy is based on hired labor. These non-publicly owned economies are important components of the socialist market economy and can stimulate market vitality and promote employment and innovation!"
After answering, Jiang Ruoxi quietly raised her eyes and looked at Professor Yang, feeling nervous, wondering if her answer would satisfy the professor.
Professor Yang nodded slightly, with a hint of imperceptible approval in his eyes. Then he changed the subject and asked a new question: "Then Mr. Jiang, let me ask you again, what do you think of socialist commodity production and the law of value?"
Jiang Ruoxi's heart, which had just relaxed a little after answering the previous question, suddenly became tense again. She bit her lower lip lightly, and her brain was working at high speed.
After a brief thought, she mustered up the courage to say: "Socialist commodity production is carried out on the basis of public ownership of the means of production, with the aim of meeting the material and cultural needs of the masses. Unlike capitalist commodity production, it is not for maximizing the interests of a few capitalists, but for serving all the people."
She paused, and her logic became clearer: "In the socialist economy, the law of value can, on the one hand, encourage enterprises to improve technology and increase labor productivity, because enterprises want to reduce costs and gain more benefits; on the other hand, it can also regulate the distribution of means of production and labor in various production departments and guide the rational flow of resources. But under the socialist system, we can control the blindness of the spontaneous regulation of the law of value through a planned economy to a certain extent, make economic development more orderly, achieve macroeconomic goals, and avoid disorderly fluctuations like the capitalist economic crisis." After saying this, Jiang Ruoxi nervously clutched the corner of her clothes, quietly waiting for Professor Yang's response.
"Okay, that's a very good answer. Please take a seat, Jiang!" Professor Yang nodded continuously, his eyes full of admiration. He secretly sighed in his heart: He is worthy of being the top scholar in Liaoshen. He is really a good seedling with quick thinking and clear logic. In time, he will surely shine in the academic field.
In the following classes, Jiang Ruoxi listened more attentively, and the pen in her hand kept dancing on the notebook, recording the key points and supplementary cases taught by Professor Yang in detail, without missing any details.
However, no matter where you are, you are bound to encounter some people who cause trouble for no reason. When the bell rang, Jiang Ruoxi and her roommates were packing up and preparing to go to the large classroom for a public class.
At this moment, a sharp and harsh voice suddenly entered their ears: "She acted like she knew it after the last class!" Jiang Ruoxi pretended not to hear it. She looked calm and organized her textbooks in an orderly manner, as if those harsh words were just a breeze by her ears that could not cause any ripples.
Then, another voice echoed: "Yes, she is awesome. Professor Yang asked her the only question in the whole classroom!" Hearing this, Jiang Ruoxi's mouth curled up slightly and she laughed sarcastically. She thought to herself, if she still couldn't hear their sarcastic remarks about her at this point, then she would be a real blockhead.
She turned around and said to her roommates in a brisk but pointed tone: "Mina, do you think some people are not very smart from the moment they are born? I'm really curious about how they got into college? They don't have any knowledge at all, and they can't stand seeing others study. I don't know what's in these weirdos' minds?"
Yang Mina and the others nodded, and said in unison, "That's right, who knows what they are thinking? Don't bother with them. Ruoxi, let's go. We still have public classes next period!"
After that, the six of them walked side by side with brisk steps, heading straight for the public class classroom, leaving the two people who had made sarcastic remarks there, as if they were transparent.
"Jiang Ruoxi, stop right there, who are you talking about?" An angry voice was heard from behind, but Jiang Ruoxi and the others pretended not to hear it. They walked out of the classroom door without stopping or looking back, leaving behind a series of crisp footsteps, as if it was a silent response to the unreasonable person.
"Miaomiao, don't bother with them. You can tell from the looks of it that they are from poor families and come from humble backgrounds. Why do you bother with them? How can they compare to you?" Li Ling hurriedly grabbed Zhao Miaomiao, who was looking angry, and consoled her softly.
Zhao Miaomiao looked up at the clock on the wall and realized that the next public class was about to start. Even though she was unwilling, she could only stamp her feet, quickly packed up her textbooks, and hurried to the public class classroom with Li Ling.
The public class classroom was crowded and bustling. Jiang Ruoxi and her roommates found a seat in the front row and just as they sat down, Zhao Miaomiao and Li Ling came in from the back door. Zhao Miaomiao's eyes were immediately fixed on Jiang Ruoxi, with the resentment in her eyes still not dissipated. She deliberately said loudly to Li Ling beside her: "Some people just like to show off. It's just answering a few questions, but they really take themselves seriously!" Jiang Ruoxi acted as if she didn't hear anything, and whispered with her roommates about the content of the public course that was about to begin, turning a deaf ear to Zhao Miaomiao's provocation.
Just then, public course teacher Zhao Dehou walked into the classroom with a lesson plan. He had sharp eyes and immediately noticed the subtle atmosphere in the classroom, but he didn't say much. He just cleared his throat and started today's class. Teacher Zhao Dehou's voice was steady and powerful, and he explained the complex public course knowledge in an easy-to-understand way. Gradually, the students were immersed in the ocean of knowledge, and the previous episode was forgotten.
But Zhao Miaomiao was still unwilling to give up. While the teacher was writing on the blackboard, she secretly took out a piece of paper from her schoolbag, wrote a few lines on it, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it in the direction of Jiang Ruoxi...
