Raising his eyes to look at the mountain, looking down at the cow, the cow cry faintly came from the distance, the tip of Shen Tiejun's nose seemed to float through the pungent smell of cow, Meng Qinglai was poetic: "The sound of the wind, the sound of the cow, the sound is in the ears." ”

The lock was new, the dormitory was old, with layers of yellowed newspaper plastered on the walls, the occasional recognizable word, or an excerpt, the content was obscure, and the four shelves of the bed leaned against the east and west walls, and there was not even a desk.

The steel bars on the windows had peeled off the paint, revealing the rust inside, and the glass mud was almost gone, and it was only a few small nails that got stuck that it didn't fall off.

Pushing aside the window and looking out the window at the blue sky, the narration of a song inexplicably appeared in Shen Tiejun's mind: "The greatest tragedy in life is the loss of freedom, and the greatest pain in life is the loss of relatives and friends——"

In the dormitory for four people, there are two people Shen Tiejun knows, Meng Qinglai and Liu Zhuzi, and it is said that if there are men, they will also be separated.

Liu Zhuzi proposed to wait for the man to come and then clean up, Shen Tiejun directly overturned his suggestion, and the three of them were busy with a disgraced face, and spent the morning cleaning the dormitory thoroughly, the bed was lifted and the bricks were put away, and they were busy sweeping and mopping until noon, and it was finally done.

The public toilet and the public hot water room, fortunately, the shower place is a small cubicle, which is not honest with each other, and it is much better than the big shower in the north.

Shower and eat to the dormitory, Shen Tiejun fell asleep after a while, he didn't rest well last night, he tossed and cleaned in the morning, and he was still woken up by the heat in the afternoon.

The clothes washed at noon have been dried, Shen Tiejun hung up the newly washed ones, the two goods in the dormitory didn't know where they went, the big open door didn't even close, and when he returned to the bed and took out the book, he remembered the school library.

Locked the door and left a note, Shen Tiejun went downstairs slowly, the 5th floor and below were girls' dormitories, and I don't know who decided at that time, so he pulled a curtain at the corner of the stairs, which was considered a block.

The library outside the sheep is unconditionally open, but that is for the students in the school, Shen Tiejun's student ID has not been issued yet, and after hesitating at the door, he saw Professor Lan coming out with a stack of books from inside: "Teacher!"

"You're just in time!"

Professor Lan also saw Shen Tiejun, and handed over the book he was holding as a matter of course: "Oh, this is the book you are looking for, write down and take notes if you don't understand after reading it, come to me if you don't understand it yourself, you can find Teacher Li if you can't find me, remember to give me your experience before school starts." ”

Maybe it was because the weather was too hot, Shen Tiejun, who was holding more than a dozen books, was a little dizzy, and watched Professor Lan walk away in a hurry, and hurriedly spoke: "Okay, teacher!"

Leaning sideways and glancing at the title of the book, Shen Tiejun shook his body, and a third of the dozen or so books he couldn't understand, but he just understood English translation, Freud and literature, research methods and essay writing, applied linguistic theory, a brief history of interpretation, a brief history of translation, and English writing.

There is still half a month before the start of school, and Shen Tiejun has already entered an intense study, to be precise, self-study.

Meng Qinglai and Liu Zhuzi, who went out to familiarize themselves with the terrain, returned to the dormitory, and when they saw Shen Tiejun's assiduous attitude, they conducted a deep review of their practice of wasting time and life, and found that his books were a bit too much, so they wanted to share them, but they just picked them up and put them back in place not long after.

If you're not at the same level, don't hurt yourself.

When Shen Tiejun was studying on his own, the news of his admission to graduate school began to appear in the newspapers, and the headline of the 16-year-old high school student's admission to graduate school was very eye-catching, but anyone who had read the newspaper knew that there was also a report in front of this headline: "The little carpenter was admitted to graduate school! On the correctness of reducing talent without sticking to one pattern." ”

In a street factory in the magic capital, a young carpenter who graduated from junior high school mastered five foreign languages after hard self-study, and at the same time wrote a thesis that was appreciated by the members (academicians) of the Institute of Mathematics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

The content of the report has a strong tendency, from knowledge to professionalism, from articles to papers, from mathematics, physics and chemistry to liberal arts, the writer has made an all-round comparison from three aspects, and the conclusion is that the correctness of reducing talents without sticking to one pattern is reached.

"It seems that you should be admitted to graduate school at the age of 16!"

Liu Zhuzi's face was gloomy, and he shredded the newspaper in his hand with a brush: "Then what are we like this?!"

The emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry, Shen Tiejun doesn't know how to comfort Liu Zhuzi, he ran so fast from home to school, just because he didn't want to be in the limelight and be watched, the more times he appeared, the more opportunities he had to speak, and he would say the wrong thing if he didn't get it right.

The higher you are praised by others, the more painful it hurts to fall, most people understand, but as Liu Zhuzi said, it is right to be admitted to graduate school at the age of 16, so what will countless unknown college students, and even educated youths who can't even get into college, think?

What should they be?

In the era when mathematics, physics and chemistry were kings, Shen Tiejun didn't mind being belittled: "Study hard, now the opportunity is rare, we are all admitted, and there are still those people in the school." ”

The people he was talking about were the workers, peasants, and soldiers who had been recommended by the movement, and when the movement was over, these people became the most frightened group, second only to the men of the Four, who were last in line when eating, and the others had finished eating, and they dodged to the window to make some leftovers.

Compared with those people, Liu Zhuzi's face was much better, he nodded and went to preview the borrowed "English Translation", and the school officially started the day after tomorrow, and this book was borrowed by Shen Tiejun for him.

In half a month, Shen Tiejun devoured the book in his hand and wrote a thick book of experiences.

When Shen Tiejun arrived at the office, Professor Lan was not there, and Li Guiju was about to go out with a book, when he saw him coming, he pulled a stool and put it next to the table: "Professor Lan has a meeting to go to the city, and before leaving, he said that he would give you homework, how did you study?"

Shen Tiejun handed over the notebook with both hands and sat on the stool: "The experience and questions are all in it, the more I look at it, the more I feel that I used to think it is simpler, and I still think that English is not just translation and communication, well, speaking of which, I also underestimate translation and communication." ”

"It's good to know what is lacking, and it's better to know where you are lacking. Know where you are lacking, and know how to make up for it. Well, it shows that your learning attitude is still passing. It's just that your words are a bit bad. ”

Opening the notebook, Li Guiju frowned after reading a few lines, and finally had to open his mouth to criticize, and finally changed his words: "What, have you read the newspaper? What do you think about being compared with others? A few days ago, a few reporters came to me and were blocked by Professor Lan, and the reason used was those reported in the newspaper. ”

"Then I have to thank him, old man. ”

Shen Tiejun didn't expect there to be such a play behind him, and Zhengse said: "I haven't read the report, the content was read to me by my roommate, but people are not wrong, they are all telling the truth, I just have ideas, and I am also thinking about how to study hard every day, and learn the endless hard work." By the way, can you help me ask when I can install a ceiling fan, even if I pay for it myself. ”

Lifting a note, Li Guiju waved his hand: "The ceiling fan has been purchased, and the installation should be a matter of these two days, okay, if it's okay, it won't delay you to learn the sea and work hard, go back and continue to work hard." ”

Touching his nose, Shen Tiejun left the office, the school was about to start, and there were a lot more people in the school, at this time the sun went down, many people held the VCR and held the books in their hands, taking advantage of the rare cool to review and exercise, seeing that the time was almost up, they turned to the cafeteria.

Meat dishes are 1 cent, 5 vegetarian dishes, 8 points, rice is calculated according to two, one or two pieces of rice are 2 cents, the canteen is noisy, Shen Tiejun made a meat dish and two halves of rice, and was looking for a place with his head open, and a person stood up on the table not far away: "Little senior brother, little senior brother." ”

Since the last time he was called senior brother by Zhou Zhichao, Shen Tiejun wasted a lot of energy before he reversed the title of others, but fortunately, with the name of a graduate student, he can still bluff many people, and those who are unfamiliar call seniors, like Zhou Zhichao, who is cheeky, has become a little senior brother.

There weren't many people Shen Tiejun knew at the table, but everyone was on the same floor, and the farthest one was only four or five doors apart, which was quite familiar.

After sitting in the past, he picked up the chopsticks, and a piece of braised pork on the rice flew away, and Shen Tiejun hurriedly protected it: "Don't be like this, it's like this every time, you still won't eat a pig from me in three years?"

"Haha, who made you one level higher than me!" Zhou Zhichao put it in his mouth and chewed, waving his chopsticks and picking up a few large mouthfuls of rice.

Zhou Zhichao said that the level still refers to the difference in treatment between the two, these years college students do not need tuition fees to go to school, and the seventy or eighty yuan paid is a deposit for renting a recorder and tape, and it is said that it will be refunded when they graduate.

When you enter the university, you will be separated from the peasant class and become a transcendent existence, the upper limit is the cadre, and the lower limit is the worker.

In order to allow college students to study with peace of mind, the state will pay various nominal subsidies on time every month, which is actually salary, and the money will be different according to different schools.

Outside the sheep here, Zhou Zhichao gets a subsidy of 25 yuan a month and a number of food stamps, according to Shen Tiejun's luxury method, two cents a day for two cents a meal is five cents, and fifteen yuan a month is fish and meat, and the life is quite nourishing.

It's just that Shen Tiejun, a graduate student, doesn't have this treatment.

In the regulations and measures issued by the state, it only takes into account that graduate students are all people who participate in the work, such as the little carpenter, after being admitted to the university, during the study period, the unit will pay the salary as usual to calculate the length of service, and all kinds of benefits until graduation and distribution to the new unit.

No one expected Shen Tiejun to be such a fresh graduate, so Professor Lan helped him apply again, since the country has recruited people with eclectic talents, it means that he can be eclectic.

As a result, Shen Tiejun could receive 28 yuan and a number of food stamps every month.

For this reason, the school also issued a special document for publicity, so everyone who knows and doesn't know each other knows that there is a 16-year-old graduate student in the school, and he only knows his name.

Laughing and eating, Zhou Zhichao didn't raise his stomach after eating: "School is about to start, your second foreign language, have you decided?"

Nodding, Shen Tiejun said with a mouth full of rice: "It's decided, I'm going to learn Japanese by myself." ”

Zhou Zhichao, who was buttoning his teeth, almost bit his hand: "This, our school doesn't have a Japanese class, right?"

Shen Tiejun's expression remained unchanged: "Otherwise, how can I say that I am self-taught." ”
