Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Thousand Miles to Study
On the bus, Shen Tiejun bought a ticket in front of Zhou Zhichao, the fare was two cents, and Zhou Zhichao bought it after him.
Shen Tiejun pinched the ticket in his hand, and had a general idea of the future school in his heart, in the era of one kilometer and one and a half centimeters, the school was at least ten miles away from the train station.
Facts have proved that Shen Tiejun thought that the distance is still less, on the Yangcheng road where vehicles are scarce and bicycles are the mainstay, the bus ran for more than 50 minutes, and the road is getting more and more deviant.
When he stopped at the station, Shen Tiejun got off the bus according to the conductor's instructions, and his heart immediately cooled half, the road in front of him was a machine farming road, and a long slip of cow dung meandered away on the road, and Zhou Zhichao next to him was also dumbfounded.
In Yangcheng in late June, the temperature was already hot, I don't know how long the cow dung had fallen, emitting a pungent smell, hiding cow dung along the road, Shen Tiejun soon saw two cement pillars, high welded lintels: "Yangcheng Wai Chinese Language College." β
The university imaginary in his heart turned out to be like this, Zhou Zhichao came back to his senses for a long time, and looked at Shen Tiejun next to him: "Shen Tiejun, can you talk about it now?"
"Well, good!"
made people puncture the worries in their hearts, and Shen Tiejun didn't care, such a school only looks at the appearance, and it doesn't have the grandeur of the Education Bureau at home, at least people still have a courtyard wall, and this school doesn't even have a wall: "I'm here to apply for Professor Lan's graduate school, and this is my re-examination notice." β
When the fluttering notice arrived in his hand, Zhou Zhichao stopped breathing, opened it and nodded: "Okay, I wish you can successfully pass the re-examination and join the Yangcheng Foreign Chinese Academy, we will meet again!"
"See you soon!"
Shen Tiejun saw Zhou Zhichao enter the school, stepped to the security department behind the doorpost, and knocked on the door with some apprehension, revealing a big red rosacea: "Same-little comrade, do you have something?"
"I'm here to take the postgraduate re-examination, and I want to meet Professor Lan, I don't know if it's okay?"
Shen Tiejun was a little apprehensive, he had never had this experience in his two lifetimes, and he didn't know where the door of the university was heading.
Lu Qinjin was a little confused, first of all, he wondered if this kid was pretending, at such an age, it looked like he was at most 20 years old, and hurriedly took the re-examination notice, swept it quickly, and showed a bright smile: "Professor Lan saw him go in before, why don't you go to the office of the English Department to look for him?" But, little comrade, are you really 16 years old?"
There is age on the admission notice, which is also the main reason why Zhou Zhichao flashed after reading it, Shen Tiejun nodded, and took the notice: "Then thank you, do you want me to register?"
"No, no, no, no, you're here to take the retest, not an outsider. Lu Qinjin was a little excited, a 16-year-old graduate student, he hadn't heard of it yet, thinking about his younger brother, his face was full of envy and jealousy, he was 16 years old, he really had to compare the goods.
Lined with green trees and fresh air, Shen Tiejun walked into the door, greeted by the tall national flag seat, and then eight glass doors, looking inside, the tables, chairs and benches were overcrowded at this time, and it was time to eat in the morning.
"Hello, where is the office of the English Department?"
The detective grabbed a tall back, and before Shen Tiejun could finish speaking, he saw Zhang's female face, and hurriedly took a step back: "Eh, I'm sorry, I thought you were a male classmate." β
The girl, who was full of 1.75 meters, rolled her eyes, shook her head with a straight face, and pointed in the direction with her big hand: "Go to the third door over there, it looks like a dead end now, but you will know it in the past, goodbye, little classmate!"
ββββ
Seeing the gentleman-like girl enter the cafeteria, Shen Tiejun walked towards that side with a woven bag, and sure enough, after passing through the corner, five offices were lined up one by one.
There is no need to look for it now, the middle of the five doors is the third, Shen Tiejun walked over and raised his hand before he knocked down, the closed door was opened, revealing a round face, and hurriedly opened his mouth respectfully: "Hello!"
The middle-aged woman was wearing a blue gown, with a hint of majesty on her rich face, looking up and down at the "child" in front of her, and she was a lot kinder: "Hello, who are you looking for?"
"I'm here to find Professor Lan, I'm Shen Tiejun, I'm here for a retest. β
Shen Tiejun threw down the woven bag and quickly took out the notice from his pocket, not wanting the middle-aged woman to be slightly stunned when she heard it, she didn't accept the notice with a smile in her eyes, took a step back and opened the door of the office, and said, "Professor Lan, look who is coming?"
As the middle-aged woman got out of the way, Shen Tiejun saw an old man with pale temples, curiosity on his kind face, he took off his black-framed glasses and stood up, his tall figure was thin and spoke quickly: "Teacher Li, do you think I'm dazzled?" Come on, come on, Xiao Shen, come in, this is Teacher Li Guiju from our department, don't look at her fiercely, she is actually a knife mouth tofu heart." Oh, you haven't eaten yet, have you? Mr. Li, please go get some food, this is my meal ticket. β
Stunned as he watched the old man take out the meal tickets from the drawer, Shen Tiejun wanted to say that he was not hungry, but his stomach growled, and he felt a little blushing.
Professor Lan smiled kindly, waved at Li Guiju and asked her to hurry up, then pulled a stool in front of Shen Tiejun, turned to the desk and opened the bottom drawer, and said: "Your spoken language is very good, except for the inaccurate pronunciation of some words caused by the local accent, there is no stumbling, which makes me very satisfied, there are too many dumb English now, let them translate, it is a top one, but let them speak, it is like stuffing an egg in your mouth." Oh, you don't drink tea, do you?"
"You're welcome!"
Shen Tiejun was blinded, hurriedly went to the old man, and snatched the teacup and kettle neatly, he thought that the old man was drinking it himself, but he didn't expect it to be prepared for him: "Don't dare to do this!"
"I am very relieved that you can travel thousands of miles to study so long in advance!"
was snatched from his hands, Professor Lan didn't care, he was not a reserved person, seeing Shen Tiejun taking a sip after getting the teacup, without any restraint and pretentiousness, the evaluation in his heart was a few points higher, he sat on the stool and looked at it, and said again: "Your thesis - oh, let's just let it be a thesis, what is speculated in it, if it doesn't become a reality, will you regret it?"
"Regrets?"
Shen Tiejun shook his head quickly, and said categorically: "A weapon is a weapon in the struggle of life." β
"Hahahaha, well said!"
Professor Lan laughed loudly, tears of laughter came out, raised his hand and pointed at Shen Tiejun, and said with a smile: "This is Marx's attitude towards learning foreign languages, you changed the word foreign language to English, but you still didn't say it, will you regret it?"
Shen Tiejun shook his head and said: "No, I won't regret it, throughout history, any backward country will be beaten, a hundred years ago, and the world today." Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, we have made great progress by humbly seeking advice from the former big brother, so only by learning from the strong and using the chaff for my own use, we will become stronger. I firmly believe that with the country's chaos, when everything is on the right track, the spring of our English language will come. β
"Yes, if you fall behind, you will be beaten, come, Xiao Shen, you will finish eating first!"
Li Guiju said and entered the office, put the food on the table, and said, "It's just that it's late, there are no steamed buns early, and you are still used to eating rice, right?"
"Thank you, Mr. Li, you are used to eating, rice is more expensive than steamed buns at home, and you are usually reluctant to eat it!" Shen Tiejun said and went to the desk, picked up the chopsticks and rice bowl, and the chopsticks in his hand flew over and ate a fragrant meal.
Next to him, Li Guiju, who was sitting down, looked at it for a while, and only then did he want to speak, but he saw Professor Lan shaking his head slightly, and he couldn't help it with a smile.
After eating cleanly, Shen Tiejun took the rice basin and said, "Teacher, I'll come back after brushing." β
"Go ahead!"
Professor Lan nodded, watched him leave, turned his head to look at Li Guiju, and said with a smile: "You have such a rule, don't scare him away." β
"How can it, I'm also checking for you~ Don't worry, I won't be embarrassed for him!"
Li Guiju smiled, expressing his peace of mind, and soon the smile on his face disappeared, thinking about how to test this young guy who can be called excessive.
The vast majority of good seedlings either went to Shuimuyan Garden, or went to Danda Huashi, and most of the middle went to the imperial capital and other schools, and those who missed the net were divided by various colleges and universities in the mainland.
Pull up the information of these people, not only Professor Lan has a big head, but Li Guiju himself also feels blind, the admission score and quota are set, so the admission is ranked according to the score, and the top of the total score is actually a 16-year-old child, the second place is nearly 40 points lower than him, and the age is twice as old, 32.
I just wanted to say that the 16-year-old child was a bit exaggerated, Professor Lan took out the child's "paper", and said that he had replied to the child, and sent something by the way.
The lame man pulls out the general, isn't that the one he said?
In fact, Shen Tiejun is also a fan of the authorities, the first graduate examination after the resumption of the college entrance examination, the hat on the heads of the bigwigs was taken off, not only to open the department to win people's hearts, although the designers gave the top bigwigs a reassurance, but the choice of students is also two-way.
Can pick talents or use talents as chopping wood, that is the top existence in all walks of life, the vast majority of cases, or the second echelon of the elders, but what they can choose, are picked by others, the quality is different.
In the era when mathematics, physics and chemistry were kings, the weak liberal arts were divided by the strong history and philosophy, and most of the people who could apply for graduate school at this time went to the super-first-line schools where the bigwigs gathered.
Therefore, when Shen Tiejun picked up the catalog, he could think of this situation, not to mention how many bigwigs are gathered in the super first-line colleges and universities in Shuimu Yanyuan, but there are also many colleges and universities in some inland provinces.
Looking at the end of the college entrance examination in later generations, Shuimu Yanyuan's tricks in order to compete for the top prize can also understand the attraction of students to tutors, but the focus of each tutor is different, which causes some differences.
Soon Shen Tiejun came back from washing the dishes, and heard Li Guiju speak: "Tiejun, what do you think is the main aspects of a person's use of language knowledge and ability?"
Shen Tiejun was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said: "Grammar and adaptability, grammar involves vocabulary formation rules, phonetic syntax, etc., that is, the ability to correctly express and understand the literal meaningββ"
