Chapter 338 337 Class Begins

Although there was a zipper, classmate Xiao Wang was very subjective and did not make the stationery bag according to the drawings given by Tang Zhitong.

The reason given is that zippers are easy to break. This reason is very strong and Tang Zhitong cannot argue with it.

Tang Zhitong also tried it himself, and it was not broken, but the zipper opening and closing was not smooth enough, which was far worse than classmate Xiao Wang.

Monday, August 1959, 8, the weather was sunny.

After breakfast, classmate Xiao Wang tidied up and went out with Tang Zhitong.

"Why are you leaving so early? Wouldn't it be better to rest at home for a while?" Tang Zhitong went early because he had a math class early in the morning, but classmate Xiao Wang was different. He felt sorry for his wife, and his long legs were not free last night. Not only do you step on the sewing machine, but it is also very powerful when it is hung around your waist...

"Huh, I do, but you're not willing yet?" Xiao Wang looked arrogant, like a high school student in love for the first time who made a three-kilometer detour to meet up with his sweetheart and go to school together.

"How dare I? Princess, please get in the car." Tang Zhitong gave in decisively, patted Xiao Wang's car seat with his hand, stretched out his hand, and said very gentlemanly.

"Mischief again." Xiao Wang looked back at the yard, no one was there, and rewarded his man like a dragonfly.

Tang Zhitong sent Xiao Wang to the door of his unit, watched her enter through the gate next to the big lion, then got on his bicycle and continued westward.

"Haha, that's a good relationship. I didn't expect to make money." Tang Zhitong did not refuse. Being able to earn money by using the sewing machine must make Xiao Wang feel satisfied, right? Lu Jian's approval showed that there was a market for this thing, which strengthened Tang Zhitong's determination to find his mother-in-law to promote such gadgets.

"Good guy, it's quite unique. Where did you buy it?" Lu Jian was a little greedy. He came to college with similar things to Tang Zhitong, and he didn't expect such a course to exist.

If we can catch the southwest wind, we can breathe easier for a day or two. If we catch the northwest wind, we will suffer. Not only will there be smog, but there will also be sand and dust.

Tang Zhitong was not too busy. This was not a situation that a small citizen could approach and strike up a conversation with. He rode over honestly and did not dare to stop and watch.

The so-called big class is to gather students from several classes together to study the same course.

Tang Zhitong doesn’t know when or where this practice originated, but it is still used by universities decades later, and it is the kind that is used worldwide.

The two chatted, took textbooks from the classroom, and went to the big classroom for a big class.

There was dirt on the car seat. Wang Jingwen was satisfied with her husband's attentiveness.

In a place like school, there are many people and distractions. Tang Zhitong made up his mind to use as little space as possible in the school, so the rice was placed directly on the surface. Anyway, the steamed buns he brought were durable and not easy to spoil.

"Yes, pencil case. I saw that there was a drawing class, so I brought a set of drawing tools. It is convenient to use this." Tang Zhitong happily explained that the so-called drawing tools belonged to Fengzhen who had been requisitioned, and Tang Zhitong promised to bring them back to her in the afternoon. Bringing back a new set is considered an exchange.

After arriving at the College of Posts and Telecommunications, Tang Zhitong went back to the dormitory first, put the lunch he brought in the closet, took out the stationery bag that Xiao Wang made overnight from his satchel, and then headed to the classroom with his roommate who had not left.

The reason why it is called the Big Classroom is because this classroom is larger than ordinary classrooms. The tables and stools inside are arranged in a ladder shape to ensure that even short students sitting in the back row can see the teacher's writing on the blackboard.

The air quality in Sijiu City has not been very good in the past few years. There are people making fires for cooking in the morning, noon and evening, and various factories have been emitting waste gas. It is foggy all day long.

University classes are different from primary and secondary schools. No one yells to stand up when the teacher comes in. The teacher briefly introduces himself.

"What is this? A pencil case?" Lu Jian asked curiously when he saw the thing Tang Zhitong was hooking on his finger.

The young couple made an appointment on the way, and Tang Zhitong came to pick up Wang Jingwen after class and went home together. The honey was mixed with oil, and it was very greasy.

After riding not far, Tang Zhitong found that a sentry was added at the entrance of an alley in the north. He was a little surprised. There was not one there the last time he came here.

This situation is getting worse, especially since last winter...

"Hehe, my wife made it herself. I asked her to make another one and bring it to you tomorrow." Tang Zhitong handed his stationery bag to Lu Jian to experience the feel.

"Then we have to agree first. I don't want it for free. I have to pay for it." Lu Jian stroked the stationery bag. Although it was spliced, it was made of real leather after all, and the texture was incredible.

What surprised Tang Zhitong was that the teacher directly said that he was a senior in the next two grades. Due to the rapid expansion of enrollment in the past two years, there was a shortage of teachers in the school, so he was asked to temporarily replace the math teacher.

Lu Jian and others had a more casual attitude and hid in the last row of the large classroom.

They all come to study gold plating. The important thing is not how good their academic performance is. Even if they don’t complete the course or drop out midway, they will still be college students when they go back...

After two classes, Tang Zhitong felt quite good. Although everything he learned in school had been returned to the teacher, he still understood everything he could understand after picking up the textbook again and following the teacher through it.

"Students of Class 593, please go back to the classroom later. We have something to announce." After the teacher announced that get out of class was over, Tang Zhitong shouted loudly before any classmates left.

There was no way not to shout. The classroom was big, and the students in my class were spread out. The girls sat in the front row, and the other students sat in the middle in twos and threes. There were very few people like Lu Jian who took the initiative to sit in the back row.

Hearing Tang Zhitong shouting, some students from other classes were surprised and looked up to see who was making the loud noise.

Tang Zhitong looked indifferent. They were all college students in different classes. Who knew whom?
Tang Zhitong was the person who gave lectures to cadres at the promotion meeting. After returning to classroom 3216, he stood directly on the podium and waited for the whole class to arrive.

It was just a bunch of young college students. It was really a small scene, and Tang Zhitong was not embarrassed at all.

"Hello everyone. Teacher Zhou asked me to count the number of people who need bursaries and their levels. First, let me introduce to you the composition and amount of bursaries..." Tang Zhitong spoke eloquently on the podium, repeating what Teacher Zhou explained yesterday.

Ten yuan is not much, but it is enough to support a college student. After all, ordinary people in Sijiu City, many of whom have a family of four or five, rely on one laborer's monthly salary of thirty yuan.

"Due to time constraints, I will not talk to everyone one by one. Are there any students who think they do not need financial aid? If not, please raise your hands." As soon as Tang Zhitong finished speaking, the Wei trainees in the dormitory raised their hands.

In order to prevent others from following suit, Tang Zhitong had to hint wildly: "The six of us are all commissioned trainees, and we are paid. We will not take up our quota for scholarships. Other students must consider carefully based on their own circumstances. Whether it is the country or the Everyone in the college attaches great importance to this, so we must cherish this opportunity." After Tang Zhitong finished speaking, he waited for five or six seconds and saw no one raised his hand before continuing to ask: "Okay, let's start counting the third-class scholarships. If any students think that their financial conditions can afford two-thirds of the food expenses, please raise your hands if you voluntarily apply for the C-level scholarship.”

Last night, Tang Zhitong looked at the roster carefully. Teacher Zhou was very careful and marked the origin of each new student.

Perhaps due to the particularity of the postal and telecommunications system, there is a bias in admissions. The 593 college entrance examination candidates in Class 24 are all from workers and peasants, of which 10 students are from rural areas and 14 students are from workers' families.

The economic situation of working-class families is definitely better than that of those from rural areas, but it may not be much better. Otherwise, there would definitely not be more than ten people in the classroom yesterday afternoon.

Tang Zhitong waited for another five or six seconds, but still no one raised their hands. He did not give the 24 classmates any choice. He said directly: "Due to time constraints, I will not ask about Class A or Class B anymore. I will all follow Class A." Fill in the form. If any students think they are inconsistent, they can come and talk to me individually before the end of the third period. Failure to do so will be deemed as agreement.”

After speaking, he walked directly off the stage and sat back in his seat.

There were no course schedules for the last two classes in the morning. He planned to fill out the application form and do some math homework. He would not take anything home if he could finish it in class. It would be great to play games with Xiao Wang, so why take it? Great time to do homework? ?

During the first class period when Tang Zhitong came down, the classroom was surprisingly quiet. All the students were quietly busy, some reading, some doing homework, and some in a daze.

Tang Zhitong can generally understand them, especially students from working-class families, who may struggle internally.

Nowadays, in most urban households, men work to earn money, and women take care of the housework, supporting a large family with one person's salary.

None of the six girls in Class 593 are from rural areas.

An 18-year-old girl may already be married if she is sent to the countryside. Even if she has an urban household registration, she has reached an age where she has tried every means to find a job to support her family.

Those who can insist on letting their daughters finish high school and go to college must have their parents' love for their daughters. As children, they certainly don't want to bring additional financial burdens to the family. This is human nature.

Until the end of the third period, no classmate came to look for Tang Zhitong.

After class, Tang Zhitong went to Teacher Zhou's office with the filled-in application form and the exhausted roster.

Teacher Zhou took the application form and read it carefully, nodding as he read it.

Tang Zhitong watched from the side and thought from the bottom of his heart that Teacher Zhou was doing quite well for his students.

After reading the application form, Teacher Zhou raised his head and told Tang Zhitong: "After the stipend is approved, you will receive it on behalf of our class and distribute it to the students. From now on, every month's stipend, meal card, water stamp, and bathing stamp will require a living committee member Responsible for collecting and distributing these. The distribution time is around the 25th of each month. Please pay attention to the school's notice then. "

"Okay, Teacher Zhou." After hearing what Teacher Zhou said, Tang Zhitong felt that he had a great responsibility. This responsibility may be greater than that of the monitor...

During the fourth period, the atmosphere in the class was obviously much more relaxed. Many students were whispering, perhaps exchanging ideas for solving problems or talking about what to eat for lunch.

As for why Tang Zhitong knew, it was because roommates Shi Huaian and Fang Qingliang caught Tang Zhitong copying his math homework, and Lu Jian had already finished copying the previous class and was asking Tang Zhitong what he wanted to eat for lunch. He was treating him...

Tang Zhitong kind of likes this atmosphere. The style of these committee roommates is just like when they were in college in their previous life!
Like it, you like it, but Tang Zhitong refused Lu Jian's treat and insisted on cooking the food himself.

Between men, smoking is a courtesy and friendship, but when it comes to food, it changes the taste, especially in the next period of time, which will be particularly difficult. Tang Zhitong does not want to owe favors in this regard.

Although the university's canteen is subsidized, it cannot compare with some units. At least the canteen of the Escort Department has tables and chairs where you can sit down and eat.

However, due to the large number of people in the university, in this era it is not possible to spend a lot of money to solve the problem of dining space, so the canteen space of the College of Posts and Telecommunications is very limited.

Although there are dining tables, stools are not provided, and students dining in the cafeteria can only eat while standing.

Such equipment has a buff that increases dining speed by 50%!

Every dining table was crowded with classmates eating.

Some students felt it was awkward to share a table with strangers for dinner, so they gathered a few friends to settle the matter directly in an open space on campus.

This situation is only limited to seasons when the temperature is acceptable. When winter comes, no one will be outside drinking the northwest wind.

After getting food from the cafeteria, Tang Zhitong chose to go back to the dormitory to eat with his roommates.

A dormitory is more than 3 square meters, and each person can occupy an average of 80 square meters. There are washrooms and toilets on the floor. To be fair, this per capita area and infrastructure have been used by more than % of the residents of the Fourth and Nine Cities.

But for Tang Zhitong, who is used to living in a separate house, this condition is still almost meaningless.

Although there are washrooms, there is only one on each floor, shared by more than 200 people. Everyone has similar class times, and there are only a few taps. Therefore, traffic jams are often caused during the morning rush hour, and there is even no water on the upper floors.

Compared with the washroom, the toilet is better. Although there is only one in the men's dormitory on each floor, there is a urinal. I just don't know how the women's dormitory solves this problem...

In addition, there is also the problem of bathing when living on campus. There are no bathrooms in the dormitory building. If you want to take a bath, you must go to the school's public bathroom.

When Tang Zhitong was in college, the facilities on the old campus were similar to those of the current era. Although the bathrooms had been renovated, the shower heads were limited. When there were many people, it was really a frank meeting, the exchange of sticks, the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, and it was unbearable. See!
The men's bathroom is better, but the women's bathroom lines up from morning to night. Maybe it's because girls have long hair, so washing it is extra troublesome and time-consuming?
Tang Zhitong only went there once when he was in college. The other times he did it in the bathroom or when he went out to communicate with his girlfriend...

There are many students who have similar needs to Tang Zhitong, so there are many hotels of various grades around the school.

It is common for men and women to come and go in pairs, some to blow the air conditioner, some to take a shower, and some to communicate.

No matter which one of the above, Tang Zhitong didn't want to go through it again, so he would rather go all the way to day school than live on campus.
