The event plan made by Jiang Shiyue still only had a few big circles drawn two days ago.
She bit the pen cap and thought for a while, then drew two circles below.
Write "decoration" in one circle and "service" in the other.
On second thought, she definitely had no part in the decoration, and the opening next month might mean the National Day opening.
In this case, there is only more than a week to prepare, let alone decoration. I am afraid that they may not even have enough goods to open the store before they can start the business.
After Jiang Shiyue crossed out the word "decoration" with the pencil in her hand, she unconsciously brought it to her lips and bit it lightly.
It’s too late to renovate, so what about rearranging the shelves?
"Classmate, pencils are poisonous. It's best not to bite them."
Jiang Shiyue heard someone talking but didn't pay attention. After a few seconds, she realized that they were talking to her. She put down her pen and thanked the boy opposite her who reminded her: "Thank you!"
"No...you're welcome!" The boy looked flustered, and upon closer inspection, his face was red.
Only then did Jiang Shiyue realize that he had become the focus.
The male students in front, behind, and around me were not looking at or paying attention to their textbooks.
Although Jiang Shiyue is not narcissistic, she will not look down on herself. She knows the reaction that a pretty female classmate like her would cause if she sat here in those slightly conservative times.
After thinking about it, she stood up and left with her textbook.
She has no interest in her studies and doesn't want to be a beauty that affects other people's studies.
Just a few steps out of the study room, I heard hurried footsteps.
It seemed to be heading towards her.
Jiang Shiyue turned his head.
It was the boy who was sitting opposite her just now.
Seeing Jiang Shiyue stop, the male classmate slowed down and finally stopped in front of Jiang Shiyue.
He gasped, "Classmate, your pen fell in the study room."
Jiang Shiyue's first reaction was that he wasn't a stutterer! Her second reaction was to look at the pen in his hand.
It is indeed my own pen.
The pen was given to her by Chen Shanhe. It was not expensive, but it had the name of Chen Shanhe's unit printed on it, abbreviated as PLA.
Jiang Shiyue took the pen and said, "Thank you!"
The male student began to stutter again: "No...you're welcome."
Jiang Shiyue thanked him and turned to leave.
After a while, I still heard footsteps behind me, not far away nor near.
She turned her head and looked back. The boy was about one meter behind her.
Jiang Shiyue asked in confusion, "Do you have anything else to do?"
"No...it's okay. I...I'll go to the library and see...see if there are any seats left." The boy became more and more stuttering in anxiety, waving his hands violently, as if he was afraid that Jiang Shiyue would misunderstand.
He was just passing by, not following.
This is a really honest child.
Since he had lost his seat in the study room to give her a pen, Jiang Shiyue didn't feel comfortable laughing at him. She took the initiative to say, "That's perfect. I was planning to go find some books too. Let's go together!"
The male student nodded.
Jiang Shiyue chatted with him casually, "Are you also a freshman?"
"Yes. I... I'm a radio major. What about you?"
"I'm a light engineering engineer." Jiang Shiyue said.
"My name is Xu Ke, what's yours?"
"Jiang Shiyue."
“…”
The two chatted as they walked, and Xu Ke gradually stopped stuttering.
Unfortunately, there is no space in the library.
Jiang Shiyue couldn't help but sigh, "Studying so hard in college? What's the point?"
Xu Ke pushed his glasses up on his nose and said, "It's like being poor and suddenly rich. I'm afraid that this university life will be like a moon in the water and a flower in the mirror. I'll learn as much as I can."
Jiang Shiyue turned her head to look at Xu Ke, "Are you like this too?"
Xu Ke nodded. "From the first time I came into contact with the basics of radio, I loved it. I can't explain how much I loved it. It's a pity that our teachers only knew so much. In high school, I learned even less. Later, I dropped out of school and went home to work. Sometimes, when I was on night duty watching the granary, I wished I could have the chance to go to college again."
At this point, Xu Ke smiled sheepishly and said, "I applied for it last year when I took the college entrance exam. My grades were okay, but I probably applied to the wrong school and didn't get in."
"Where did you fill in last year?"
"Hua Qing."
Jiang Shiyue was not surprised.
In these two college entrance examinations, many children who grew up in the village, even though they were very smart, had good academic performance, and performed normally in the college entrance examination, failed because of the difficulty in choosing their majors.
When Jiang Shiyue followed Chen Shanhe back to his hometown, he realized that for the villagers, apart from knowing their production brigade, commune, county town and urban area, the farthest place they knew was the capital.
The few universities I know about are Huaqing University and Peking University.
How can you take the entrance exam to Tsinghua University or Peking University whenever you want?
Regardless of whether their grades were really good or not, everyone flocked to apply to those two schools.
You can imagine how high the elimination rate is.
Xu Ke also learned a lesson from last year's college entrance examination. During this year, he made inquiries from many sources and finally chose and was admitted to his ideal school.
Jiang Shiyue was not quite sure about the specific content of the radio major in 1978, so she asked Xu Ke, "Why do you like your major so much?"
Xu Ke shook his head, "I don't know."
This answer surprised Jiang Shiyue a little, and she didn't know how to respond.
Fortunately, Xu Ke quickly realized that he had run out of conversation and hurried to make amends. "When I first started working in the production team, I was still quite young, and the only jobs I could do were feeding pigs, herding sheep, and cattle. But herding sheep was very boring. Occasionally, I would see shepherds from other production teams, and if I wanted to say a few words, I had to shout at the top of my lungs from a distance. Because if I got too close, the sheep would fight. At that time, I thought it would be great if there was a device that allowed us to talk at any time from a distance.
Later, I learned that telephones could be used to talk to people far away, but they required wires. "We herd sheep and cattle all over the mountains, so how could we use wires?" So I wondered, "How great would it be if we could make calls wirelessly?"
"I was young at the time, and I thought about it and forgot about it. Until one day, the teacher mentioned radio waves. I suddenly had an idea: could long-distance communication be achieved through radio waves? Unfortunately, there was not much relevant content in the textbooks, and our teachers knew very little about it. I had no place to learn it myself, and later I forgot about it and worked honestly in the production team.
Until I heard that the college entrance examination was resumed, I suddenly remembered that dream again..." Xu Ke touched the back of his head and smiled innocently, "Classmate Jiang, do you also think I'm dreaming?"
Jiang Shiyue shook his head.
In fact, she was quite surprised.
Xu Ke came from a rural background, and his education and experience were limited. He was lucky to know how to use a telephone, but he certainly didn't know how a walkie-talkie worked, let alone how a cell phone worked. But he was smart, at least smarter than most of his peers or even his grade.
Maybe Xu Ke can help her make a mobile phone?!
This idea made Jiang Shiyue a little excited.
