Chapter 226 (Catching Bugs) 2 in 1
I never expected to meet the educated youth who went to the countryside with the original owner in the university dormitory.
But Ding Guo didn't have to be nervous. After all, they had been apart for such a long time, and any changes in personality could be explained. Besides, there was no need for explanation.
Gao Yuping was surprised and said, "Ding Guo, you have changed so much that I couldn't recognize you just now."
The change is so great that it's like a completely different face. If you were to meet him on the street, you wouldn't be able to recognize him at all.
Gao Yuping is the same age as Ding Guo, but she arrived at Yangjiazhuang Brigade one year later than Ding Guo.
On her first day at work, Ding Guo took her with him and taught her how to harvest wheat, how to bundle wheat, and how to avoid being pricked by broken wheat awns.
In my memory, this girl was dark and thin, so thin that she seemed like she could be blown away by the wind. Her cheeks were sunken, which made her eyes look particularly big. She was a bit dull and didn't talk much, but she worked efficiently. She was one of the few female comrades who could get full work points.
He earned so many work points but was reluctant to eat or drink, and saved food from his teeth to send home.
But now Ding Guo has plump cheeks, fair skin, and even her hair is no longer the dry and yellow state in her memory. Her brows are full of energy and she looks fresh and beautiful.
Ding Guo is not at all as "sarcastic" as Duan Qiuling described.
Duan Qiuling also said that Ding Guo became arrogant and no longer simple after returning to the city.
This look is a little bit unsophisticated, but does that mean that one is sarcastic and mean, and a bad person?
Ding Guo smiled and said, "You have changed a lot. I didn't recognize you when I first walked in."
Gao Yuping was still shocked, but also sighed: "No one has changed as much as you, really. I never thought that you would be so beautiful after getting a little fatter than before. Your parents raised you so well!"
No wonder Ding Guo is so family-oriented that he would rather starve himself than not send food to his family.
Ding Guo: ...
She felt she had been slapped in the face, but had no evidence.
Ding Guo didn't want to cause this kind of misunderstanding, so he smiled and said, "Both my parents are dead! I raised myself so well by myself!"
Gao Yuping exclaimed, "Ah?" Then she apologized, "I'm sorry, sorry, I didn't know. When did you...they leave?"
Ding Guo smiled without any embarrassment and said, "The year I returned to the city."
After that, he changed the subject: "How many people from the educated youth center and the village were admitted to university?"
Gao Yuping was afraid that continuing to talk about her parents would make Ding Guo sad, so she hurriedly said, "There are three educated youth including me, Zhao Xianfeng and Li Mei. You don't know Li Mei, she went there after you returned to the city. There is one in the village, Yang Jiabao, who was in the same team with you. He was admitted to a university in Hebei Province, not far from the capital."
Ding Guo searched the original owner's memory, nodded, and said, "The third son of Uncle Yang Qi."
The Zhao Xianfeng mentioned by Gao Yuping went to the Yangjiazhuang Brigade one year earlier than the original owner, and the original owner also had it in his memory.
Gao Yuping: "That's him. Let's get together sometime in the future." She added, "Zhao Xianfeng went to Sichuan Province."
Because Ding Guo didn't know Li Mei, Gao Yuping didn't mention her information.
The two of them didn't chat for long. By this point, the other roommates had just recovered from their shock and had something to talk about.
"Do you two know each other?" The speaker was Song Yan.
Ding Guo smiled and nodded: "Comrade Gao Yuping and I used to work in the same place, and I didn't expect to meet again in the dormitory of Huada University today."
Gao Yuping was also very happy. Although Ding Guo just worked hard and didn't talk much, and his presence was very low among the people, their relationship was not very close, but there had never been any conflicts. Seeing her acquaintance again now, she still felt the joy of reunion after a long separation.
Xu Erfei couldn't help but sigh: "That's such a coincidence!"
Others also marveled at the coincidence.
There were six people in the dormitory, five of whom were educated youth who had gone to the countryside to work. Everyone couldn't help but talk about the examination results of the educated youth who had gone to the countryside with them.
With this entry point, although Ding Guo missed last night's late night talk, he quickly became familiar with the other two.
Several of them were from the History Department, studying Chinese history, but they were not in the same class. Song Yan, Ding Guo, Gao Yuping and Wang Xinmai were in the same class, and they were in Class 2.
Xu Erfei and Wang Aihua are in the same class.
The class meeting started at two o'clock. After chatting for a few minutes, we prepared to get up and go to the classroom.
Song Yan took a few steps back, called Ding Guo, opened the cabinet, returned the hammer he had borrowed yesterday, and thanked him again.
Ding Guo also opened the cabinet and put the hammer away. Song Yan then handed over a handful of roasted peanuts as a thank you gift for borrowing the hammer. Ding Guo couldn't refuse, so he had to take it and put it in his coat pocket.
The two of them locked the closet door, went out, closed the dormitory door, and chased after the roommate in front of them.
Song Yan asked: "Are you from the capital or..."
Those who joined the team in Suqing are not necessarily locals of Suqing.
Ding Guo left yesterday after being settled. I’m not sure whether he went home or went to stay in a guesthouse with his whole family. He didn’t return to the dormitory.
Ding Guo smiled and said, "My husband's family is from the capital, and I am from Fengning."
Song Yan was a little envious and said, "It's great to have a local family."
No need to separate flesh and blood.
She is from Anhui Province, and her husband took the children back to his hometown yesterday.
We've only been apart for one day and I'm already missing my son.
As they were talking, the two of them caught up with their roommate in front of them and went to the classroom together.
When they arrived, most of the students in the class were already seated, all busy socializing and twisting their bodies around. When Ding Guo and her group came in, few people noticed them.
Wang Xinmai asked Ding Guo and the others to go to the back of the classroom and said, "The back row is spacious, let's sit in the back."
A few of them walked to the back of the classroom and sat down. Several male classmates nearby noticed them and whispered to each other. Their eyes fell on Ding Guo at the same time, but they looked away a little embarrassedly.
One of the male students looked at Ding Guo out of the corner of his eye, but greeted Gao Yuping, who was closest to them: "Hello, classmate. My name is Xu Jiandang, nice to meet you."
Gao Yuping smiled and said, "Hello, my name is Gao Yuping."
Another male student actively joined in: "My name is Zhou Dashan."
While Zhou Dashan was talking, Xu Jiandang had already leaned over to ask Song Yan, who was sitting next to Gao Yuping: "What's your name, classmate?"
Song Yan also hurriedly introduced herself.
As he asked along the way, Ding Guo also introduced his name.
As a person who came from the future, Ding Guo was too familiar with the expressions on the faces of these people who consciously hid their thoughts well, but in fact had some obvious little thoughts.
She started chatting with Song Yan about parenting, talking about "my son is this and that, my daughter is this and that."
Gao Yuping hadn't seen Ding Guo and her baby yesterday, so she was a little surprised when she heard this: "Ding Guo, are you married and have children?"
Song Yan smiled and said, "A pair of twins, a boy and a girl, so beautiful!"
Wang Xinmai was also a little shocked: "I can't tell you've already given birth to two babies."
When the boys nearby heard this, the shyness on their faces disappeared instantly.
When the classroom was almost full, a man in his early fifties walked into the classroom and stood on the podium.
He was their class teacher, who taught ancient Chinese. His surname was Pang, and his name was Pang Wanzhong.
Teacher Pang gave a brief opening speech and then began to ask the students to introduce themselves.
The order was arranged according to the seats. The first person to stand up was a girl with short hair. She spoke in a strong voice and said, "Hello everyone, my name is Qi Guiqin, I am 23 years old, and I am from Qi City, Heilongjiang Province. This year's college entrance examination created a miracle in our village. The one sitting behind me is my husband. That's right, the two of us were admitted to Huazhong University together. We are the pride of our village!"
A tall and thin man stood up behind her and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Hello everyone, my name is Wang Aiguo, and I am Guiqin's boyfriend."
At this moment, the whole class was in an uproar, cheering and clapping spontaneously.
Ding Guo also applauded.
The atmosphere suddenly became lively.
The self-introduction continued, and the boy behind Wang Aiguo stood up: "Hello everyone, my name is Guo Meng, I'm 19 years old, and I'm from..."
It was Ding Guo's turn. She followed the example of the other students before her and introduced herself. She heard a little friendly booing as she spoke. After thinking for a moment, she smiled and said, "...I envy Qi Guiqin a little bit. The couple can sit in the same classroom to attend classes. Unlike my family, the couple are in different schools and can only reunite on weekends."
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard several very quiet and somewhat regretful sighs: "Ah, you're getting married!"
“They’re actually married!”
Qi Guiqin, who was sitting in front, didn't expect to be called by a new classmate. She turned around and smiled happily.
Ding Guo also smiled at Qi Guiqin, sat down and listened to other students continue.
After the introduction, it’s time to elect class committee members.
They were all new and didn't know each other, so they couldn't vote. But the head teacher had probably made up his mind long ago and directly named and assigned them, saying that they were temporary positions and that voting would be held after the end of the semester based on everyone's performance.
Ding Guo didn't expect that he still had his own things to do.
The first person the head teacher called was her and appointed her as the class monitor.
Another boy named Wan Hong is the deputy monitor.
Then, deputy monitors, study committee members, life committee members, sports committee members, propaganda committee members, etc. were successively arranged.
The responsibility of living committee member fell to Qi Guiqin.
Although it was not stated explicitly, everyone vaguely guessed that it should be based on the college entrance examination scores.
The scores at this time are not made public, but the teachers in the school know the students' situation.
Ding Guo was suddenly made the squad leader, and after a moment of confusion he accepted it.
The college entrance examination had just been resumed, and all work was done by feeling the way forward. She had never had such an experience before she transmigrated into the book, but she had seen other people's experiences.
Even if the models of later generations cannot be applied to universities of this era, we can learn from other class leaders and make progress together.
After the appointment of class leaders was completed, Teacher Pang talked about several work directions. Several temporarily appointed class leaders took office and began to preside over the work before they were fully recognized.
Sanitation, physical education, and the collection and distribution of scholarships.
Ding Guo arranged for Wan Hong to check on the areas on campus that needed to be cleaned by their class. As for sports, he asked the sports committee member to come up with a plan, with other class leaders to assist.
Afterwards, she took Qi Guiqin to compile statistics on the family income of each student in the class and register them to facilitate scholarship applications.
Most people these days are very honest and are also worried that the school will conduct an investigation. If they lie, it will affect their college career, so few people lie about their family income.
When it was Song Yan's turn to be counted, they laughed and called out "class leader".
I don’t know if it was Ding Guo’s illusion, but I felt that Wang Xinmai’s expression was a little unnatural.
When it was Ding Guo's turn, since she was already married, she only filled out information about her husband's family and Pei Che's current subsidy amount, but also filled in the income of her parents-in-law. She submitted it to the school for review, and she would accept any level of scholarship approved.
After the two of them finished the statistics, they made a copy of the summary and handed it to the class teacher.
Qi Guiqin had just been named by Ding Guo to express envy, so Ding Guo had a good impression of her. He asked for her dormitory number and said, "I'll visit your dormitory when I'm free."
Ding Guo smiled and said, "Okay, welcome!"
Qi Guiqin asked again: "Squad leader, how many years have you been married? Do you have any children?"
Ding Guo: “Yes, there are two. They are almost two years old.”
Qi Guiqin was a little surprised: "Ah, you have given birth to two children? Is the younger one almost two years old or the older one almost two years old?"
Ding Guo smiled and said, "They are almost two years old together. They are twins that I gave birth to."
Qi Guiqin suddenly felt envious: "Don't envy me anymore. I'd rather envy you. We've been married for almost a year and there's still no news. It's going to save a lot of effort to have two children at once."
Ding Guo found it very funny and felt that this girl was a little harsh in her words but her personality was very likable.
After finishing the class work, it was time for dinner.
Song Yan dragged Ding Guo to the dormitory and said, "Hurry up, hurry up. If you go too late, you won't be able to get food."
Ding Guo had never eaten it at school before and was a little surprised: "Is it true?"
Gao Yuping: "Really, the school doesn't have enough supplies. If you go too late, you won't be able to grab them."
Ding Guo ran after him.
As soon as I entered the dormitory building, I felt the tense atmosphere, like a march to war, everyone was running.
I also met Xu Erfei and Wang Aihua on the stairs, and they ran towards the dormitory laughing.
Ding Guo went back to the dormitory, opened the cabinet, took out the lunch box and chopsticks, and also took an enamel bowl. Then he ran again. When going down the stairs, there was a small traffic jam at the corner of the second floor, but the traffic was soon cleared again. Everyone ran into the cafeteria and squeezed towards the window.
The college entrance examination had just been resumed. Unlike the situation where there were only workers, peasants and soldiers as college students, so many students suddenly poured in. The new teaching staff was still being reorganized and deployed, and the coordination work of various departments was also in the process of running-in. The school was also unprepared.
Amid the hustle and bustle, Ding Guo also heard a few curses: "There are suddenly so many students in the school. It's so annoying. They are scrambling to be reborn."
These words were obviously said by an old man.
The resumption of the college entrance examination had a huge impact on the workers, peasants and soldiers who came to college. Many older students felt unwilling to accept this in one way or another and would complain whenever they could find an excuse.
Before the new students came in, they didn’t have to worry about not having meals. But the influx of so many new students disrupted their original rhythm, and many old students felt annoyed.
A freshman turned around and yelled back: "You guys don't fight or squeeze?"
But I didn't find the target.
There were too many people and I had no idea who said it.
But suddenly, there was a push from the crowd that was obviously malicious, and Ding Guo was pushed to the ground. She gathered her energy, thrust her arms into the gap between the crowd, and about a step back, she returned the squeezing force from both sides, then quickly moved forward a few steps, not forgetting to greet Song Yan and the others.
Song Yan and the others were shocked, but reacted quickly and followed closely behind Ding Guo.
A few more dissatisfied curses were heard from the crowd.
Ding Guo usually doesn't attack actively, but it was obvious that someone was pushing her on purpose just now, so it was reasonable for her to resist. Although it would hurt innocent people, they were also innocent!
In this way, because there were always people deliberately making trouble, Ding Guo fought back all the way with a clear conscience. He was even faster than those who entered the cafeteria earlier and took Song Yan and the others to the window, ordered one meat dish, one vegetarian dish, and two steamed buns made of two grams of flour.
I didn't want porridge.
When order has not been properly maintained, there will be nothing left after serving a bowl of porridge.
The food is fine. Just close the lid of the aluminum lunch box, push it left and right, and you can eat a whole meal.
Several people did not eat in the cafeteria, but took their food back to the dormitory. Song Yan asked with lingering fear: "How is it? Was I right?"
Ding Guo nodded repeatedly: "This situation is also unexpected."
Gao Yuping had been following Ding Guo just now. She noticed Ding Guo's actions and couldn't help but say, "Ding Guo, you are still as capable as before."
She is worthy of being the female comrade who can get full work points. Although she has returned to the city for a few years, I didn’t expect that she still has the strength of an old farmer.
Ding Guo was sweating slightly.
This girl is too simple.
In the situation just now, even a burly farmer would be able to make me cry.
Everyone opened their lunch boxes and started eating. Wang Xinmai held the chopsticks and the steamed bun in his right hand at the same time, and picked up a modern history book with the edges curled in his left hand, and started reading while eating.
Although she didn't say anything, she gave people a feeling that she was holding back a lot of energy.
Just after finishing eating, there was a knock on the dormitory door.
Wang Aihua: "Who is it? Come in!"
Two girls came in with red eyes and in a disheveled state. When they saw Ding Guo, they cried out in tears, "Class monitor!"
Go find Ding Guo to report the situation: I went to the cafeteria but didn’t get any food!
Ding Guo: ...
Is this her responsibility?
Oh, she is the class monitor.
When everyone is new, the class monitor can take charge of everything in the class.
Ding Guo quickly closed the lunch box with only a layer of soup left, stood up and asked, "How many students in the class didn't buy lunch?"
The two female classmates who came were named Zhao Li and Wan Jingjing.
Wan Jingjing shook her head and said, "I don't know. Anyway, we finally squeezed to the window, but even the soup and the steamed bread were gone."
Ding Guo was also a class monitor for the first time. He didn't expect that the first thing he would touch upon was the problem of his classmates' meals. He said, "You guys go back to the dormitory and wait. I'll go and count how many students in your class haven't bought meals. Then I'll ask the cadres of other classes about their situations, and then we'll go together to find the school leaders."
Although it has not been investigated yet, Ding Guo can guess that this situation is probably not an isolated case.
The chaotic order in the cafeteria shows that there are serious deficiencies in the school's work.
The two nodded.
Ding Guo asked Xu Erfei: "Who are the female class leaders in your class? Do you know which dormitory they live in?"
Xu Erfei shook her head: "I know the name, but not the dormitory number. I'll go out and ask."
"Thanks!"
"We're from the same dormitory, why are you being so polite?"
As Ding Guo took Zhao Li and Wan Jingjing out of the door, they saw Qi Guiqin who was also walking towards them with several classmates.
As soon as she saw Ding Guo, Qi Guiqin said, "Class monitor, Wang Huandi and several other students didn't get any food in the cafeteria tonight."
Ding Guo: "Zhao Li and Wan Jingjing didn't buy it either. Let's do a count and ask other classes to see if we can report it to the school leaders and discuss a solution."
Xu Erfei also asked about the dormitory of their class vice-monitor and called him over.
The deputy monitor of Class 1 was Liu Dongxue, who had two long pigtails. She also encountered the same problem, and was in the same group that didn’t get any food.
However, she had brought some dry food with her when she reported in and had not yet finished eating. When Xu Erfei went over, she was using boiling water to soak steamed buns.
In fact, many freshmen carried dry food or local specialty snacks with them. Some of them did not go to the cafeteria to get meals and continued to consume the dry food they brought with them.
So yesterday there was a situation where there was no food to buy in the cafeteria, but there were many students who had surplus food yesterday, so the situation was not serious.
There are many students who have no surplus food today, so the situation will explode.
In addition, after the class leaders were elected and there was a backbone, we went to them to report the situation.
Ding Guo and her colleagues conducted a survey and also received responses from class leaders of several other classes.
The propaganda committee member of Class 3 also went to the boys' dormitory to call people.
Finally, the class leaders of several classes went together to see the department head.
Ding Guo asked Qi Guiqin to find Teacher Pang and tell him.
The teacher doesn't have to do anything, but out of respect you have to tell him.
Qi Guiqin nodded and went to the classroom staff dormitory area.
When Ding Guo and his friends arrived, they found that someone was already in the office. It was a former student from the previous class, and he had reported the same situation.
At the same time, the staff at the cafeteria also reported the situation.
Many leaders these days are practical people. When students come to them, the department head says that the school is working on the problem and has asked the canteen to work overtime and prepare more meals. He also asked class leaders like Ding Guo to go back and notify everyone who has not gotten meals to take their tickets and wait in the canteen.
After the department head Ding Guo finished speaking, he made a suggestion: increasing order maintenance would allow everyone to queue up for meals in an orderly manner, rather than being crowded together. Whoever is strongest can eat first.
Although she is also the strong one!
The department head's surname was Hou. He was not dissatisfied with the students' suggestions and said, "We have thought about this situation. The school will find a way to solve it."
It’s just that many tasks in the school are still being adjusted, some teachers have not yet arrived, and there is a serious shortage of staff, so the situation is quite chaotic.
As for calling on everyone to line up, is it useful? It works for people who follow the rules, but as long as there are one or two people who are disorderly, everyone else will follow suit.
Ding Guo and his friends came out of Director Hou's office. Before they even walked downstairs, someone among the seniors said something sarcastic: "There was no such situation before when there were not so many students. You guys are really the cause of the disaster!"
Another voice followed up with a sneer: "It's like a swarm of locusts passing through, starving ghosts reincarnated!"
A boy among the freshmen complained: "Who harmed you? It's obviously the school's lack of preparation. What does it have to do with us?"
Ding Guo said coldly, "The large number of students means that the country attaches great importance to talent cultivation. This is a symbol of national progress! After all, you two students are educated people. I didn't expect you to describe the students who were selected by the country as locusts and starving ghosts. I wonder what your teacher would think if he knew about it."
The person who had just spoken suddenly changed his expression. He was about to say something when the person next to him hurriedly pushed him and said, "Let's go, let's go to the cafeteria to eat!"
The old students left in a rush, and Ding Guo and his group returned to the dormitory area. They breathed a sigh of relief only after notifying those who needed to go to the cafeteria to get food.
