The doubts in Xia Xiaolan's heart remained unexplained for two whole weeks.
No matter which teacher, after class, a group of people rushed up to ask for answers. Xia Xiaolan dared to ask such trivial matters in public.
Two weeks before the start of school, the freshmen are familiarized with architecture, and there is basically no real professional knowledge. Then she didn't wait for Zhou Cheng's reply, so she traveled dozens of miles. Where did the letter go?
Xia Xiaolan didn't straighten out the school's affairs.
Military training has begun.
Yang Yonghong, the boss of the dormitory, was very happy. This year, Huaqing's military training has been reformed. In previous years, the military training was on campus. This year, the school decided to let the freshmen experience the real military life. The designated location for the military training is Kongjiazhuang on the outskirts of Zhangjiakou, Northern Hebei Province, an artillery teaching regiment camp, more than a hundred miles away from Yang Yonghong's hometown Well, military training is a group activity, and it is impossible to let Yang Yonghong go back to his hometown, she is just happy .
"It's the National Day after returning from military training. I heard that the school organized a parade of honor for the 35th anniversary of the National Day. Can we freshmen catch up? They didn't ask us to rehearse!"
Xia Xiaolan was surprised, Yang Yonghong wanted to join this parade, one or two thousand people, what's the point of putting together a figure?
Yang Yonghong looked incredible, "The parade will pass through Tiananmen, don't you feel Tiananmen? Let's celebrate for the country and remember the great leader! People in our village and county can see me on TV, and they will all be happy for me. Proud to walk in square formation in front of Tiananmen Square!"
"You won the first place in your county in the college entrance examination, and you didn't appear on TV to make your villagers proud?"
Xia Xiaolan became very popular during that time, with interviews from provincial TV stations and provincial newspapers.
Yang Yonghong asked her in turn: "Do you have a TV station in your county? That's great. Our county only has one radio station, and our whole village has only one TV set!"
Xia Xiaolan didn't dare to speak anymore.
She never paid attention to whether there is a TV station in Anqing County.
The one who interviewed her was the provincial TV station, so there probably is no TV station in Anqing County?
At that time, Zhou Cheng gave foreign exchange certificates, and Li Fengmei wanted to buy a TV instead of a washing machine, but Xia Xiaolan still felt that the washing machine was more practical. She doesn't look forward to the TV programs in the 1980s, and she can't even understand Yang Yonghong's excitement, but she knows how sincere people in the 1980s love their motherland and their great leaders!
From Chen Wanda crying in Tiananmen Square to Yang Yonghong looking forward to being a member of the thousand-person parade in front of Tiananmen Square on National Day, Xia Xiaolan did not resonate so much, but she respects this kind of sincerity:
"Why don't you ask the teacher in charge?"
Yang Yonghong shook his head, "Forget it, there must be no new students."
It's all an excuse, Yang Yonghong is still too embarrassed to ask.
The school notified the departure time of the military training, and everyone began to pack their luggage. The military training clothes were bought when they entered the school. This set of clothes will last for two full weeks, and what they need to bring is a change of underwear.
Girls are very particular about these conveniences, such as soap for washing clothes and soap for bathing.
As for shampoo products, even Xia Xiaolan can only use seagull hair cream and bee flower conditioner. In 1984, this was already a top-level formulation. In addition, there were shampoos and shampoos that were sold loosely in barrels. The next-level products were alkaline noodles and baby soap. Few people in Yang Yonghong's hometown use the ancient method of washing hair with soap locust water and plant ash water.
The teacher certainly didn't seem to neglect her because of a little rumor, and Xia Xiaolan didn't want to really break away from the crowd. She came to Huaqing not alone.
She decided to take the initiative to lower her living standards, maybe this would eliminate the barrier between herself and other classmates.
According to Su Jing's gossip, at the democratic life meeting in the department, someone had already talked about the freshmen's living habits and style. Although "Xia Xiaolan" was not named, after all, it was mentioned that some students took baths twice a day, which was too delicate. Waste of water and money Xia Xiaolan really wanted to scold her, who the hell were staring at her when they were full, otherwise how would they know that she went to the bathhouse twice a day?
She saw that the students in the same dormitory and class were all working hard to study, it didn't seem like they would pay attention to such things!
Not wanting to change the running habit, Xia Xiaolan decided to move the running to night, so as to save a bath.
Knowing that she was being targeted, Xia Xiaolan suspended her plan to buy a watch.
In the first week of entering the school, Huaqing School is so big, Xia Xiaolan wanted to buy a bicycle, and several people in the dormitory wanted to buy it. Su Jing and Lu Yan brought their bicycles from home, and everyone else planned to buy second-hand ones.
"It's cheap, and you're not afraid of stealing it! It was my sophomore senior sister who told me."
When Zhou Limin said this, Xia Xiaolan also felt that the thief was so reasonable! Everyone buys old cars, so why did she buy a new one? Isn't she once again standing out from the crowd?
Xia Xiaolan picked and bought a second-hand bicycle for 50 yuan
A Phoenix brand or permanent bicycle costs two to three hundred yuan, and an old car is only 50 yuan. One can imagine how it has been ruined. It is necessary to install a bicycle basket under the bridle. In fact, there is only one wheel left in the back. The mechanic is very embarrassed: "I have saved these parts for a long time, and they are enough to assemble a new bicycle. I will accept you." 70 yuan. Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t take advantage of you, I¡¯ll even paint it for you, and promise to give you a brand new look, no worse than a bicycle that just left the factory!¡±
Bicycle repairing is still a lucrative business these days. It costs 50 cents to repair a tire. Xia Xiaolan asked the master to replace two good tires, miscellaneous, and a total of 70 yuan is not expensive. Bicycles are rare items, and bicycle parts are not cheap.
The master said that he would paint the bicycle by himself to refresh Xia Xiaolan's bicycle made of various parts. Xia Xiaolan took a test ride and was very satisfied with the current bicycle:
"Master, please do not need to paint, that's it!"
"I won't charge you for painting"
"No need, it's good enough!"
Xia Xiaolan rode away after giving the money.
Painted and refurbished, why would she buy an old car, why not just buy a new car.
Xia Xiaolan's act of buying a used car was unanimously approved by the dormitory. Yang Yonghong shook the car vigorously, and the parts did not shake. They all praised her for the value of the 50 yuan and picked up a big deal.
Xia Xiaolan seems to have figured it out a bit.
?The standard of living doesn¡¯t have to be really lowered, it¡¯s just like the light and the dust, roughly the same as the people around you, isn¡¯t that enough?
Buy a second-hand bicycle.
What seagull shampoo and conditioner, she specially bought empty bottles without labels, and put all the daily necessities into the bottles.
Including the skin care lotion sent by Zhou Cheng during the Chinese New Year.
Xia Xiaolan didn't know what dryness is until she came to the capital. If she didn't put something on her face after washing her face, the skin on her face would be so dry that it hurt! Saving like Yang Yonghong, he bought clam oil early in the morning and wiped his face with his hands and face in the morning and evening.
Until Xia Xiaolan dragged her luggage and squeezed onto the school bus for military training, she didn't wait for Zhou Cheng's reply.
Everyone was very excited when they got in the car. The yearning for the life of the military camp was regardless of gender, and the boys were even more happy. They went to the Artillery Teaching Corps. They must be able to touch the cannon and fire two cannons at the sky in person?
Xia Xiaolan, who had participated in military training in her previous life, listened silently.
It's so naive to think, military training is endless standing in the military posture, kicking, walking in the queue shooting? Back to playing cannons? nonexistent! Of course, her military training at that time was all about the 1990s, and now it is 1984, maybe everyone can really touch a real gun.
"Xiaolan, what kind of instructors do you think will train us? Are they as handsome as the flag-raising soldiers in Tiananmen Square? It's best to be a young and handsome officer!"
Su Jing moved her head closer.
Xia Xiaolan also had no way to answer this question. The school bus arrangement was divided by class. The only five golden flowers in Class 2 of the 84th class finally got together, including the freshman Ning Xue. Ning Xue and Su Jing belonged to the same school, and both were admitted to Huaqing, so how could they not know each other? It's just a question of familiarity. After hearing Su Jing and Xia Xiaolan's gossip, Ning Xue explained lightly: "Soldiers with junior qualifications will be assigned to lead military training. At most, platoon leaders can come. Young people are young enough. Not at all."
