In 1978, I was admitted to Harbin Institute of Technology

Chapter 26 The HIT discussion forum, where many top students gathered, suddenly became quiet

"Buying meat? Young man, you have to line up early in the morning. There is not much meat every day, and it is gone in the morning."

The meat at the food station was gone in the morning.

The salesperson at the food station told Xie Wei that if he wanted to buy meat, he had to line up early in the morning.

There was nothing left of the pig's head, offal, bones, or anything else.

There are only a few seasonal vegetables such as radish and cabbage.

Xie Wei couldn't buy anything - everything was supplied by tickets, and their supplies were exchanged for meal tickets and grain coupons for the school cafeteria, so they couldn't buy vegetables.

Fortunately, no tickets are required for cooked food.

He spent 2 yuan to buy a pound of braised pork head and a portion of peanuts for 8 yuan. He then went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some wine. However, the Bashu wine ticket that Xie Wei brought was not recognized at all.

In desperation, I could only buy high-end liquor that did not require a liquor ticket - Wuliangye at 5 yuan a bottle.

Maotai is 8 yuan.

When it was getting dark, Xie Wei went to a nearby state-owned restaurant and ordered a half-pound plate of stir-fried lamb with green onions for 5 cents and a vegetarian dish for cents. He put the dishes in the enamel bowl he found in Du Guowang's house and went back to wait for Du Guowang and his wife.

It was dark, and Liang Hongling still hadn't come back.

"Are you greedy?"

Du Guowang brought dinner back for Xie Wei, but found that Xie Wei had prepared several dishes and wine. He said with some self-blame: "I was so busy that I didn't have time to prepare something delicious for you."

"No! During this period, Teacher Tian Tian Wang has arranged a very rich schedule for us..."

Xie Wei said hurriedly.

Du Guowang narrowed his eyes and looked at Xie Wei, "What's the matter?"

"No, I just thought that I had been bothering you and Teacher Liang for so long. I just wanted to have a drink with you and Teacher Liang..."

"Pull him down!"

Du Guowang curled his lips and said, "Boy, don't be so polite with me. The students in your two classes have all experienced the lowest life and done the dirtiest and most tiring work. Who among those who can be admitted to university is not a smart person?"

"I want to live in the dormitory."

Xie Wei looked nervous and spoke in a low voice.

"it is good."

"???"

Xie Wei thought he had heard wrongly and looked at Du Guowang in disbelief.

Wang Zheng delivers meals every day, isn’t it because he is afraid that other teachers will come into contact with him?

"What's that expression on your face!" Du Guowang rolled his eyes. "I originally thought I could keep you in the Mechanical Engineering Department, but the facts prove that I was wrong."

"Not in the Department of Mechanics anymore?"

Xie Wei looked puzzled. "Didn't Teacher Wang say that the experimental class would first learn the basics and then choose a research direction based on personal interests and potential?"

I tried my best to solve such a difficult problem, and I didn't care whether it would be too strenuous.

Du Guowang smiled and didn't explain. He changed the subject directly: "The food is cold. Light up the stove and heat it up. Teacher Liang will be back soon. Come with me tomorrow morning and go to school early to settle down in the dormitory first."

The honeycomb coal stove was lit. Xie Wei, who had been in this era for more than half a year, saw that his mother Liu Mei and Xie Jianguo were very familiar with it, and Xie Rou could also light it easily.

When it was his turn, he imitated his parents and struggled for almost half an hour, but he was unable to light the honeycomb coal!
What surprised Xie Wei was that Du Guowang also had no idea how to do it!
"Director Du, you're not the only one who can cook porridge, right?"

Thinking back to the time when they were reviewing a few days ago, Du Guowang asked Xie Wei in the middle of the night if he was hungry, and he went to cook some porridge.

The promised rice and flour were never bought, and the honeycomb coal stove was mostly off. The boiled water used at home was brought back by Du Guowang and his wife from school.

Du Guowang's embarrassed expression made Xie Wei understand why Wang Zheng delivered meals to him every day.

"Two grown men can't even light a fire! What's the use! If you don't know how to do it, don't ask for help. Call Wang Zheng!"

After Liang Hongling came back, she despised the two of them.

"I think you'll do the same."

Du Guowang walked towards the bicycle next to him and retorted.

Xie Wei wanted to suggest asking the neighbors for help, but seeing that the couple didn't say anything, he remained silent.

He understood: the couple was fully committed to work and academic research and had no time to cook.

What's more, Du Guowang resumed work last year, and Liang Hongling only resumed work this year. They usually come back very late, and they may not be familiar with their neighbors, so they don't want to trouble others.

But Xie Wei was more curious about how this couple, who couldn't light a fire or cook, had survived all those years.

Soon, Wang Zheng, who was taken over by Du Guowang, quickly lit the honeycomb coal. After heating the food, several people sat together to drink and chat, but no one mentioned Xie Wei's enrollment major.

Even Liang Hongling, who had a low alcohol tolerance, drank very quickly. She held the enamel teacup and gulped down the tea, as if she had something on her mind.

After drinking all the wine, Xie Wei not only felt depressed, but also drunk!
Little did he know that his outstanding score in the entrance exam would almost lead to another fight among the bigwigs from various departments in the school.

If it weren't for the strong suppression by the principal Li Rui, it would be hard to say when the kidnapping incident would have been settled.

Liang Hongling came back so late to persuade Li Rui to let Xie Wei specialize in mathematics; but Liang Hongbin ignored the brother-sister relationship and refused to give in; Yu Guofeng even rolled up his sleeves...

······
Harbin Institute of Technology No. 1952 Student Dormitory was built in , with five floors above ground and one floor underground.

There are 4 washrooms and toilets on each floor.

Hot water is available at limited hours and you need to go to the basement to get hot water.

Each dormitory has four wooden bunk beds that are more than 4 years old and two desks.

The total number of students from the classes of 77 and 78 is just over a thousand. If you add those who were recommended to go to college but have not yet graduated, the number is less than two thousand.

There is an all-night study room on the fourth and fifth floors of the student dormitories. Since the first half of the year, the all-night study rooms have been very popular.

Discussion area on the third floor.

At this moment, things are in full swing.

“These questions are not made by humans!”

"It's a good thing we took the college entrance examination last year. If it was this year, I'm afraid I would have fainted too!"

"13 students were so confused by the test. The psychological quality of this class is too poor..."

In the discussion area, all topics are about today's entrance test.

"Damn, does anyone know what major that pervert sitting in the last row is from today? He's so damn good. He scored 98 points on such a difficult question!"

A young man, about 25 or 26 years old, who was in the same examination room as Xie Wei, joined the lively discussion area.

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the discussion area, and many people were shocked by the score of 98.

"What? 98? Lao Yao, is the news reliable?"

"Impossible! Even a graduate student would have a hard time getting a high score on that test! Otherwise, 13 students wouldn't have fainted on the test today!"

A 77 or -year-old senior from the class of said with a pout.

"Brother Zhang, according to the news from the Academic Affairs Office, the scores and names of the experimental classes will be announced on the information board tomorrow morning. That guy was deducted two points just for the Goldbach conjecture!"

The student called Lao Yao said hurriedly.

"Impossible! Goldbach's conjecture is a problem that no mathematician in the world has solved. It has only been proved up to 1+2 by Mr. Chen..."

An old student said firmly.

For questions that don't believe in the Goldbach conjecture at all, some people only lost two points.

"Brother, the first question is not about proving the Goldbach conjecture, but about testing your mathematical thinking. You can get points by using Chen's theorem and then working backwards. The third question is about the dimensionality of three-dimensional space..."

The student who asked whether the news was reliable reminded the senior who was questioning it.

He is the student who took the lead in reminding his classmates in the examination room, Li Chuangxin.

"Lao Li, you are awesome! You are worthy of being a master who can get 78 points!"

Yao Xinwei, who came back after finding out the news, gave a thumbs up.

"Old Yao, you curse so rudely!"

Li Chuangxin said unhappily.

In front of 98 points, saying 78 points is a master?

"Really not, you are fourth in the grade! That pervert named Xie Wei is not on the same level as us. Moreover, according to reliable information, he only graduated from junior high school, otherwise he would be in graduate school..."

what?
Graduated from junior high school?

Everyone looked at Yao Xinwei in shock again.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Yao Xinwei sighed and said quietly, "Alas, I tried my best and didn't hand in the paper until six in the afternoon, and only got 61 points, which is just enough to pass..."

Nima!

Many people almost rolled up their sleeves and beat this pretentious guy to death.

Such a difficult question, but he can get 61 points!
Dog Versailles!
