In 1978, I was admitted to Harbin Institute of Technology

Chapter 13: Be on high alert, Director Du is being poached by his own lover?
Du Guowang's home is a small courtyard some distance away from the school.

It takes less than twenty minutes to walk to school.

When the jeep stopped at the gate of a small courtyard built with adobe bricks and with a wall less than one meter high, Du Guowang urged Xie Wei to get out of the car.

"Director Du, how about I just live in the school dormitory?"

Xie Wei felt that it was not appropriate for him to live in Du Guowang's house.

It's not okay to seek special treatment as soon as you enter school.

How could he know that Du Guowang was using this method to prevent him from being poached by other departments?

"Student Xie Wei, you should stay at Director Du's house for the time being. You can move into the dormitory after you register for school."

Tan Heping knew what Du Guowang was thinking. Xie Wei was now living in the dormitory, and Du Guowang and his men could not keep an eye on him all the time. If he was really poached by another department, the Admissions Office would have to bear the wrath of Director Du and even the entire Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Department.

"You're a grown man, but you're so fussy. Hurry up! The room has been cleaned up for you."

Du Guowang opened the car door and pulled Xie Wei down.

Wang Zheng also hurriedly helped Xie Wei get his luggage from the car.

"Squeak~Gah~"

The closed courtyard door was opened, and a skinny old lady wearing a washed-out gray khaki jacket, beige corduroy pants, and short gray hair meticulously combed back came out with a smile on her face. She walked up to Xie Wei and spoke directly:
"You are Xie Wei, right? Come in quickly, the room has been cleaned up."

"Xie Wei, this is my wife, Liang Hongling, who is also a teacher at the school... You can call her teacher's wife."

Du Guowang had already claimed to be Xie Wei's teacher. When he introduced Liang Hongling as a teacher at the school, he was stunned for a moment, then quickly regained his composure.

When Tan Heping heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched, but he didn't say anything.

Xie Wei felt embarrassed but couldn't show it.

He bowed slightly to Liang Hongling politely and said, "Master's wife, I'm sorry to bother you later."

"Xie Wei must be tired from the ride, why don't you help him with his luggage?"

Liang Hongling glared at Du Guowang, who hurriedly took the luggage from Wang Zheng.

It seems that Director Du also has tracheitis.

There was no way Xie Wei would let Director Du, who had taken good care of him all the way, help him with his luggage. He hurriedly took his quilt and travel bag from Wang Zheng and followed the two men into the yard.

"Wang Zheng, the usually serious teacher Liang is too enthusiastic about Xie Wei! Director Du is on high alert, has he never thought that this person in the family could recruit Xie Wei to the Department of Mathematics?"

Looking at the backs of several people, Tan Heping whispered to Wang Zheng who was beside him with a worried look on his face.

"I want you to take care of it?"

Wang Zheng glared at him and said unhappily.

When Director Du introduced his wife just now, he was stunned for a moment. He saw it.

Tan Heping smiled and was not angry.

"Xie Wei, you will live in this room from now on. This room is usually empty. It's just right for you to come."

Taking Xie Wei into the wing on the east side of the courtyard, Liang Hongling first introduced the layout of the courtyard. It was a typical small three-sided courtyard, but there was only one wing on each side.

Pushing open the door of the east wing, Teacher Liang looked very kind.

The room is not big, but it is very tidy.

Against the wall was a single bed, not the kang commonly used in Northeast China. The bed was covered with a brand new light blue printed bed sheet, and in the middle was a neatly folded quilt of the same style.

At the end of the bed stood a 1-meter-wide cabinet with mottled and old yellow paint.

In front of the kang, near the window, is a desk of the same color as the wardrobe.

There was a thick stack of blank letterhead paper with "Harbin Institute of Technology" printed on it, and pencils, rulers, compasses and other drawing tools were neatly placed against the wall. There was also an unopened bottle of Hero ink and a brand new black Hero gold pen!

This is not an iridium pen.

The nib of the iridium pen is made of stainless steel, and there are iridium particles on the tip of the pen. It is much better than a fountain pen in terms of wear resistance and writing fluency, and the price is less than 2 yuan per pen. The nib of the gold pen is an alloy made of precious metals such as gold, silver, and copper, and the price is 9 yuan per pen.

Xie Wei had always used a cheap iridium pen. On the wall next to the desk was a set of Calculus Course, published in 55, with a yellowed cover.

"I arranged it according to Lao Du's telegram. See if there's anything missing and I'll prepare it for you."

"Master's wife, this is too..."

Looking at everything in the room, Xie Wei, who has been working for five years and has been in this era for more than half a year, knows very well that Du Guowang and his wife not only put in a lot of effort, but also spent a lot of money!

For a moment, he really didn't know how to answer.

"You settle down first and get familiar with the house. Let me know if you need anything. I have something to do at school, so I'll go there first."

After Liang Hongling finished speaking, she turned around and prepared to leave.

Seeing Du Guowang didn't move, Liang Hongling glared at him and asked, "You've been gone for so long, are you not going to work at the school anymore?"

"Ah? I should go back to school first."

Du Guowang came back to his senses and moved his lips to say something to Xie Wei, who was still standing in the room with his things. Under Liang Hongling's gaze, he sighed secretly: "Xie Wei, there are bicycles in the yard. They will be packed up in a while. You can go out for a ride on the bicycle. We should be back at noon."

"..."

The couple treated him very well, but Xie Wei always felt something was wrong.

After Du Guowang and his wife left, Xie Wei put the sheets and quilts on the kang into the large cabinet and spread out the sheets and quilts he brought with him.

I will stay here for a few days first, but I will still have to live in the school after school starts.

Otherwise, it would be bad if people thought he was being special.

"Dong Dong Dong~"

Just as Xie Wei had put his things in place, there was a knock on the door.

A gray-haired, thin old man appeared in front of Xie Wei, pushing a 28-meter-high bicycle.

A black briefcase was hung on the armrest on one side of the 28 bar.

"Teacher, Director Du and Teacher Liang have gone to school."

Xie Wei thought he was looking for Du Guowang or Liang Hongling.

"Student Xie Wei, my name is Liang Hongbin, and I'm also a teacher at the school. Liang Hongling asked me to come find you."

The old man introduced himself with a smile, and without waiting for Xie Wei to invite him, he carried his bicycle into the yard.

Du Guowang’s lover is Liang Hongling, and the person in front of him is Liang Hongbin. Are they brother and sister?
"Ah? Looking for me?"

When Xie Wei was guessing the other party's identity, he was stunned when he heard that they were looking for him.

I haven't even reported to school yet, but the teacher came to see me specifically. It's very unusual.

Thinking of the abnormality of the journey, I asked nervously, "Teacher Liang, are you also from the Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering?"

"No, I study high-energy physics."

After stopping the 28-meter bar, Liang Hongbin took out his black briefcase, unzipped it, and took out a piece of letterhead with "Harbin Institute of Technology" printed on it and a lot of words on it and handed it to Xie Wei, "This is a set of advanced math problems that Liang Hongling asked you to do."

"Entrance exam?"

Xie Wei was puzzled because Teacher Liang did not mention this when he left.

Let yourself take the exam, there is no need to ask someone else to speak for you.

Ask the high-energy physics teacher to send me the advanced math questions?

Thinking that the two names only differed by one character, Xie Wei didn't think much about it.

"You can treat it as an entrance exam. If you fail, it won't affect your admission."

Liang Hongbin smiled and nodded.

Xie Wei took the paper, and when he saw the first question, he felt something was wrong!
