The business of bell bottoms no longer needs Li Yadong's much attention, so he runs to the tailor shop and the garment factory once a day, which is not much trouble.

A few days passed in a flash, and the day of school had arrived.

In the 80s, the Peking University campus, like universities across China, was brewing with timing, hiding commotion, stirring up unease, and pressing hope.

Although each mentality has different causes, each new student runs towards a seemingly flat but thorny journey, with a goal that seems clear but bewildering.

At this time, the enrollment of new students was far less grand than in the future, some activities such as the opening ceremony were probably omitted, each class held a class meeting on its own, and the process of class division was equally sloppy, Li Yadong, like most students, was assigned to the 102 class of the Department of Economics in a daze.

Perhaps the only thing to be thankful for is that their homeroom teacher is a beautiful woman.

He has fair skin, a slender skeleton, a tall figure, and a soft and waxy accent, with the unique charm of Wu Nong's soft language. Looking at the appearance of about thirty, the facial features are not very exquisite, but after being put together, with the goose egg face that is like a lady copied in the picture, it is surprisingly durable, making people feel like a spring breeze.

"Okay, without further ado, the class meeting has officially begun. As is customary, we still have to get to know each other, so let's start with me. My name is Zhao Wuyi......"

As she spoke, she twisted a piece of chalk with her green fingers and wrote her name on the blackboard in beautiful regular script.

"Don't laugh, it's not that I don't have money to buy clothes, but because my father is a soldier, and 'Wuyi' is taken from the poem "Wuyi", which means military uniform. ”

"Okay, now it's your turn, and I don't need to sort it, I hope you will speak enthusiastically. ”

The students looked at each other a few times, and a group of strangers sat together, somewhat restrained. The number of students is not large, a total of 26 people, divided into several small groups in dormitories.

Li Yadong and the four looked at each other, and Sun Weiguo was eager to try.

"Hello teacher, hello classmates, my name is Pang Kai, a native of Beijing, everyone has just arrived at school, if you have any trouble traveling, just come to me ......"

A classmate with a national character face stole Sun Weiguo's limelight.

Then the two classmates who stood up were also natives of the capital, and they were obviously more open than the students from other places.

"Comrade Xiao Xu, it's your turn. Sun Weiguo pouted.

The other students in the classroom were also waiting, seemingly intent on giving the hosts a head start.

"You're on. But Xu Zezheng had no intention of being in the limelight, "There are no rules that say that the locals must come first." ”

"Not really?"

"You're the boss, you go first. ”

Sun Weiguo handed him a "teachable" look, took a deep breath, and stood up, "What's that...... I am from the Northeast, and my name is Sun Weiguo......"

This guy may be too excited, and his mouth is full of the smell of Northeast ballast, which makes the whole class laugh.

After that, the students came from all over the world, and listening to their broken Mandarin mixed with accents from all over the world, it seemed that they were suddenly brought into the huge world.

Thousands of miles of frozen Northeast Plains, spectacular Northwest Desert, beautiful southwest mountains and rivers, and beautiful Jiangnan coast, the world has opened up overnight.

The people and scenes that were originally out of reach in the mind were suddenly brought closer, and the whole country seemed to be close by. The students, who had never left home, suddenly felt that they had entered a colorful world, and they were both inferior and strong, nervous and curious.

The pure eyes are full of novelty and pride, but also more ambitious and irrepressible excitement.

Guo Qi's performance was a little unexpected, he was usually very shy like a little girl, but he had no stage fright when he arrived at the big occasion, and his psychological quality was surprisingly good.

Li Yadong has seen a few of these kinds of people before, all of whom have good achievements and are born scene people.

When Xu Zezheng stood up, there was a whisper in the classroom, obviously the Santana a few days ago impressed many people, and also labeled him as "born in a capitalist family".

Of the 26 students, 25 have been introduced, and only one remains.

"Hello everyone, my name is Li Yadong and I am from Shan Province. ”

A short and feeble paragraph, and then sit down.

"Gone?" Not to mention that the classmates looked at each other, even Zhao Wuyi looked at this overly low-key student in surprise.

A "meet-and-greet" ended in a bland exchange, and for this group of freshmen, their college career began in a calm and uneventful manner.

The new study life no longer requires regular classes and homework every day. Although the lights in the dormitory were turned off at half past ten, they were no longer punctual like middle school students, and they were no longer confined to the bitter words of their parents like middle school students.

It's as if everything is back to freedom.

What Zhao Wuyi didn't expect was that among the 26 students in the class, the first to find themselves was the most low-key one.

"Student Li, sit down. In the slightly cramped office, Zhao Wuyi lifted the wire thermos and poured him a glass of water.

After Li Yadong expressed his gratitude, he also explained his intention in a timely manner.

"Moving off-campus, renting a house to live in?" Zhao Wuyi looked a little surprised, she looked at the thin young man in front of her. If her memory is correct, this classmate Li should be from a remote mountain village in Shan Province, that is, his family background is not good.

"May I ask why?" presumably because of the first meeting, she spoke just the right size.

"Because I did some small business on my own, it was relatively convenient to live off-campus. ”

As far as Li Yadong is concerned, he can actually make up a hundred excuses to fool this strange head teacher, but he still chooses to tell the truth.

Zhao Wuyi froze for a moment, probably didn't expect this kind of reason, she thought about it for a moment, and only thought of one possibility, if this was the case, she expressed her understanding.

"Is it the family that is more difficult?"

Although Zhao Wuyi grew up in the city, she is no stranger to rural life, and when she was a child, her father would take her to the countryside for two months every year, saying that it was bittersweet and sweet. These experiences became valuable life lessons for her later life, she had seen the most helpless poverty, the importance of a labor force in the countryside was self-evident, and she could imagine that some rural children could not turn a blind eye to their families' poverty even if they were admitted to university or even without tuition.

"Not quite, but mainly because I don't want to waste time. ”

It's a pity that this classmate Li's answer is very different from what she thought.

She looked a little angry and said: "Li Yadong, I hope you are clear about your responsibilities, as a college student, studying is your primary responsibility at present." What you just said, can I understand that reading in your mind is a waste of time, and doing business is the right thing?"

Li Yadong wanted to say "yes", but he didn't dare to say it, because he shouldn't refute the importance of knowledge, and some situations only apply to him personally.

"Mr. Zhao, it's not all what you said, I personally think that as a student of economics, it is not advisable to work behind closed doors, China's current economy is at a fork in the road, I believe you know this better than me, on the one hand is a planned economy, on the other hand is a market economy, whether it is stagnation, or bravely step out, these are difficult to discuss in the classroom to achieve results. ”

"Of course, we can also wait and see, but that will inevitably take a lot of time, rather than waiting, I think it is better to try it myself, as the so-called practice brings true knowledge, I firmly believe that what I have learned in school and what I have learned in society will be complementary, and it will be of great benefit to me. ”

"You ......" Zhao Wuyi was stunned, if these words came out of the mouth of a senior student, she might be able to accept them, but from the mouth of a freshman who had just entered the school, she might only be able to use the words "shocking" to describe them.

She was even terrified to find that this classmate Li's understanding of China's economy was not under her.

"Then tell me, should China's economy cross over, or maintain the original planned economy?" she silently added in her heart: "Student Li, you have successfully aroused my interest.

Li Yadong smiled and said: "Teacher, in fact, I don't need to answer this question, the high-rise buildings that have suddenly been uprooted in the south are very telling, I can probably imagine that there should be a lot of criticism in the economic field, but I am a loyal supporter of Comrade Xiaoping." ”

"Have you ever thought that if opening up to the outside world is in full swing, China is likely to become the next capitalist country?" Mr. Zhao said, citing one of the most feared issues for many economists of this era.

Li Yadong shook his head, "As long as the basic principles of the party remain unchanged, it will not." The Qing Dynasty's seclusion and self-defense left us a painful lesson, opening up to the outside world is the trend of the times, Comrade Chairman once wrote in "Xijiangyue Jinggangshan": The enemy army is besieged by thousands of people, and I will not move. I think that since the war of that year could not shake us, it will be the same when the tide of capital hits us in the future. ”

"You...... You ......" Zhao Wuyi was stumbling for a long time, and finally spit out a word, "How did you study in high school?"

"Read more. Li Yadongguan smiled.

After Zhao Wuyi looked at him deeply, he said very seriously: "I agreed, but I have one condition." ”

"Teacher, please speak. ”

"I need you to give me a paper every quarter, which is about the analysis of the development of China's economy, or your experience. ”

"Good. ”
