The door of the courtyard house has been welded dead

Chapter 1250 Debate
In the school in March.

After a cold winter, buds began to grow on the branches again. The budgies stood on the branches and jumped back and forth, trimming their feathers from time to time. Their dark eyes looked around smartly.

Perhaps the noise from the teaching building nearby startled it, and it flapped its wings and flew to the highest point of the tree branch. After knocking its yellow-black beak on the branch, it landed on the windowsill outside the classroom, and looked inside through the window glass with its head tilted.

"Didn't the revolution of those days come all on an empty stomach? We must be frugal and thrifty. People will feel sleepy when they are full. How can they have the energy to work when they are sleepy~!"

"It's the same in the countryside. In the countryside, people with poor conditions can't have enough food every day. A person can only eat seven or eight steamed buns. How can we get so much food? We are in school and haven't participated in labor yet. I would feel bad if we were not fed well!"

In the classroom of the youth training class, a heated debate was taking place at this time. The content of the debate was about eating, and people from both sides were engaging in a heated argument over the issue of eating.

Kang Sheng, the instigator, was sitting on a stool by the window at this time, with his fists clenched, staring at Ren Xiaobin who was speaking opposite him with wide eyes, his face flushed with anger.

After Ren Xiaobin finished his speech, Kang Sheng could no longer hold back and was about to stand up, but was stopped by the referee.

"Now it's the opposing side's turn to speak, Kang Sheng, sit down~!"

"That's right, sit down first, I haven't finished talking yet~!"

Ren Xiaobin put his hands on the desk, looking at Kang Sheng who was losing the debate and getting anxious, and raised his chin slightly.

"Except for Li Feng, the remaining fifty-nine of us have all been in college for four years, not to mention high school. In these four years, we have not made any contribution to the revolution, but we still receive subsidies from the school every month~!"

"This subsidy comes from the hard work of the grassroots. On the other hand, we have not made any contribution. Shouldn't we consciously tighten our belts? Food is just a desire for the mouth. I need to experience the difficulties of the grassroots firsthand and cannot just take care of myself~!"

Speaking of this, Ren Xiaobin clasped his hands in his arms, stared at Kang Sheng on the affirmative side, and finally said something.

"Two hundred thousand college students across the country have not participated in social labor. If everyone eats to their heart's content, only cares about themselves, and doesn't care about the country, then it's a waste of time to read this book and go to college!"

"Clang~!"

He slammed his clenched fist on the table. After Ren Xiaobin finished speaking, he swept his eyes over the four people on the square, his eyes full of contempt.

"You are talking nonsense. I don't agree with your point of view. We are talents cultivated by our parents and the country. College graduates are very scarce in the local area. We shoulder important responsibilities. Learning is a stage we must go through. No one is born with a thorough understanding of the past and the present~!"

"With a population of 800 million, we can only produce 200,000 college graduates each year. Precisely because of this small population, we must take good care of our health. This is not for ourselves, but for the country. The president of Yan University once said that we should keep ourselves in good health and work for the health of our country for 50 years~!"

"If you are weak and malnourished, and you cannot work healthily for 50 years, then you are wasting your knowledge. It is better to give the opportunity to healthy people, who will use their knowledge to lead more people and live a life of plenty."

"We should not be careless and take good care of our bodies. We should keep ourselves healthy and lay a good foundation so that we can persevere in even the most difficult environment after graduation. Those who are weak and sickly cannot stand the difficult environment and fall ill due to fatigue. They have to go to the hospital to see a doctor every few days and cannot carry out their normal work~!"

After Ren Xiaobin sat down, Yang Zhihai from the affirmative side stood up. Of course, he pushed Kang Sheng down, otherwise it would not be his turn to speak.

"Then how do you know that I am weak and sickly because I eat less? I am in good health~!"

On the opposing side, after Yang Zhihai had finished his speech and before he sat down, he suddenly retorted, not even bothering to stand up. The sound of his sneer sounded extremely harsh.

"You are in good health, but you are night blind. You have to turn on the light to go to the toilet at night, just like a blind person. There are frequent power outages in the local area, or in places deep in the mountains where there is no electricity. How can you carry out your work at night~!"

"I object to personal attacks!"

The man who had sneered just now got furious when Kang Sheng pointed out his problems. He stood up and pointed at Kang Sheng, no longer as calm as before.

"Bang, bang, the objection is effective, but, Ran Shiyu, are you really night blind?"

The referee sitting on the podium was a female student. She seriously hit the desk with a small hammer, but still asked a question that the onlookers were more concerned about.

"That has nothing to do with this debate. I am me and everyone else is someone else~!"

Being stared at by fifty-nine pairs of eyes, Ran Shiyu stumbled and tried to refute, but many people knew his problem, so he could only resort to sophistry. "The affirmative side requests that medical student Yu Shihui explain the cause of night blindness. This should not be considered a personal attack, right?"

Kang Sheng raised his hand and faced the referee's table. His face was also red at this time, but he was excited. He seized the opponent's loophole and began to seek spectators outside the venue.

"Allow~!"

Yu Shihui, who was called at this time, was a little stunned, but he held his chin and thought for a second or two. Looking at Kang Sheng's excited expression, the corners of his mouth twitched, but he still said it.

"To be precise, there is a relationship, and it is a big one. Long-term malnutrition and lack of essential nutrients can lead to night blindness. The treatment is to eat more animal offal to supplement the missing nutrients and gradually improve the condition~!"

"Listen, listen, I'm not making this up. This is what the medical students themselves said. The state gives us subsidies so that we can eat well and keep ourselves healthy. Then, when we return to our hometowns, we can devote ourselves to the revolution and build the country!"

"You insist on being stingy and ruining your health. That's a disservice to the country. College students are scarce, and it's difficult and time-consuming to train them. It's just like a factory. It's so hard to produce parts, but you end up working while you're sick. Is this right? It's not right~!"

He slammed the table and received recognition from the medical students. Kang Sheng's voice was now much louder than before and he seemed to have more confidence.

The opposing side was scratching their heads at this time. Unexpectedly, Kang Sheng would not give in after hearing this question.

"That's because his health is not good to begin with. I'm normal~!"

"You are only normal now, the problem has not come out yet. Gao Xiaohong is anemic, Tong Zhou has stomachache, which is also said to be an old problem. The pain lasts all night, and he can't bear to eat. The stomach medicine prescribed by the hospital is like eating melon seeds. In the long run, you are still young now, how long can you stay young~?"

"It is glorious to collapse on the job, but the country has cultivated you and put in so much effort. If you collapse after working for 70 or 80 years, can your contribution be the same as if you collapsed after working for 40 years?"

Kang Sheng clapped his hands and pointed his fingers at the opposing side. Once he stood up, he didn't want to sit down anymore.

"Don't think I don't know. I just want to save money. The money I save on food and drink is to send money home. If you really want to talk about being frugal, I will apply to the school to reduce your monthly subsidy to ten or eight yuan. Isn't it to reduce the burden on the country? Come on~!"

Kang Sheng's words made many people furious. Yang Zhihai, who was standing by, saw Kang Sheng lighting the barrel of explosives and hurriedly pulled him to sit down.

"Your family is well off, ours is not. How many brothers and sisters do you have, and how many do we have? Your family is from the city, and where are we from?"

The area covered by Kang Sheng's cannon was quite large, and even the female students at the referee's table looked a little unhappy. Several people on the opposing side stood up one by one and asked soul-searching questions to the affirmative side.

"The country supports everyone to go to college. It supports individuals, not your family. Are your aunts and uncles all relying on you because they are in trouble? What we are debating today is the issue of food, whether we should have enough to eat, not the issue of class. Is the subsidy from the school for you to eat and live, or to subsidize your family~?"

Yang Zhihai, who was relatively rational, bravely stood up in the face of several aggressive speakers on the opposing side and directly silenced those who spoke against him.

"Right? The subsidy is to allow us to have food and drink to maintain a normal life, so that we can go to school with peace of mind and learn knowledge. After returning to the local area, we can use the money where it is needed. You save this money and use it for other things. The original intention has changed. You return to the local area with pale faces and skinny bodies. You will fall down when the wind blows~!"

"The country lets us go to college because of our thinking and learning abilities, not our ability to save money. It doesn't matter if we save a few dollars a month. After all, there will be days when we don't like the food in the cafeteria, but it's impossible for us to not like every meal~!"

"You eat soup and water every day, and you are reluctant to order vegetables. Who will be responsible for the food wasted in the cafeteria? You save money, but your health is ruined. This goes against the original intention of the country to let everyone go to college. Using a healthy body and knowledge in your mind to build the motherland is the greatest reward for the country~!"

"When you get to the local area and have a salary, you can give your family as much as you want, or even all of it, it doesn't matter, because it is the reward for your labor. But in school, the state's free subsidies are to ensure that you complete your studies. They are not your rewards and cannot be used at will. You have to spend them in school, not to give back to your family."

"Thank you, I'm done~!"

After finishing his speech in one breath, Yang Zhihai nodded towards the referee's seat and sat down consciously. At this moment, the classroom was very quiet.

On the opposing side, several people held a small meeting, but Yang Zhihai's debate content was clear and organized, and for a while, no loopholes could be found to attack.

After all, they are all college students. After they calm down, there is still a difference between them and the shrews who quarrel in the village.
