Chapter 7: The Legendary 'Old Division'

Young people always like to prioritize seniority, and their dormitory is no exception. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

According to the date of birth, Yang Lin, who was born at the end of 1988 in the first year of Yongping, is the eldest, and Sun Cheng, who was born in April of the second year, is a few months older than Hot Spring and An Bin, who were born in July and November of the same year, and is embarrassed to be the 'second'.

Sun Cheng shook the bag, "Four-yuan set, you can choose which one you want to eat!" ”

The food at Imperial College London is still quite good, of course, it is only relatively speaking, at least the four-yuan set meal that has worked the portion is not liked by many students.

Its side dishes have no meat and only three vegetarians, and they are potatoes, cauliflower, cabbage, celery and bean sprouts, which naturally can't satisfy young people.

Several of the families in the dormitory are not in bad condition, so they eat it even less.

No, as soon as his words fell, the hot spring's face fell, "No, four-yuan set." ”

He scratched his head, muttered and didn't open the pick, just took a copy and returned to his position and sat down, "It's only been a few days since I went to intern, second, I don't have any money on me?" ”

This guy!

Seeing that he changed his words again, he also took one and took it to Sun Cheng, who had just sat down at his table, replied angrily: "Please eat so nonsense, there are many places to spend money recently, so naturally you have to save some money!" ”

"I really didn't have any money to come back!"

Hot Spring glanced at him, took out a wallet from his shorts pocket, opened it and showed him, "Oh, it's a Taizu now!" ”

After the monetary reform during the Guangzheng period, the Ming Dynasty took the 'yuan' as the basic unit, and the maximum face value of the banknotes issued was 100 yuan, which was printed with the head of the Yongli Emperor.

There are also 50 yuan, 20 yuan, 10 yuan, 5 yuan, 2 yuan and 1 yuan banknotes, which are printed with the heads of well-known civil and military ministers such as Zhang Juzheng and Wu Guangzuo, as well as some art masters.

A few years ago, due to the needs of economic development, and in order to further facilitate the storage of currency, the Department of National Currency of the Ministry of Household was ordered to redesign the original currency, eliminating the small banknotes of one yuan and two yuan to promote the circulation of metal currency, and at the same time adding two large denominations of two kinds of currency, two large denominations, two kinds of currency.

Because the new 200 yuan banknote is printed with the head of Emperor Taizong Zhu Di, it is often called 'Taizong' or 'Chengzu' by the Chinese people, and the larger 500 yuan banknote is naturally printed with the head of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, that is, the Taizu in the hot spring.

Although Sun Cheng had no intention of borrowing money from him, he knew the conditions of the family, and his monthly living expenses were almost more than half of his own.

Now that the new semester has only started for more than half a month, and there are only five hundred left on the hot spring, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, and asked curiously: "It's only been a few days since the start of school, why is there only one Taizu left?" ”

Although I don't have much appetite for the school's four-yuan box lunch, I seem to be a little hungry, and I also took a copy to the hot spring that I just sat down in front of my desk and replied angrily: "I don't need money for the make-up exam, my head is not as smart as you, in the second half of last year, in addition to skipping classes and playing games, I just stayed overnight with the boss, and I almost never touched the book, plus there were two compulsory courses in the sophomore school year exam, and now I have fallen behind in five courses." As a result, this has just started school, and Master Zhou began to focus on me, and I had no choice but to sign up for the make-up exam at the end of the month! ”

As the top science and engineering institution in China, Imperial College London has always been strict in the rectification of students' failure to take courses.

Not only does the school make it mandatory for students who fail to take at least one make-up exam in the next school year, but there is no free treatment of students who do not pass the school year's exams, and the registration for the make-up exam alone costs 200, in the words of the former principal, 'to let those bastards know that if you don't respect knowledge, you will starve'.

Since its launch, the school has won the support of most public opinion and parents because it has cracked down on students who have failed to take courses.

But for most students with only a few hundred yuan in living expenses, this trick is simply crazy.

Sun Cheng opened his mouth, but he didn't speak, just glanced at the hot spring with some sympathy.

He knew that the living expenses of the hot springs were a lot, and there were two thousand per month, but at the beginning of the school year, he was focused on by the class guide and had to take the make-up examination.

"Nima can lose this, why have you been in a pit lately, aren't primary school students also starting school!"

As soon as he sat down and didn't eat a few bites, Sun Cheng heard an angry roar from behind him.

He didn't have to look back, he knew that Yang Lin and their game were bound to lose ugly!

"No more fighting, no fighting!"

The fourth Anbin was also so angry that he threw the earphones on the table, "What kind of bird is in the jungle, except for the middle of the road a few minutes ago, I haven't seen it since!" ”

He seemed to have just noticed that Sun Cheng was back, and when he saw the hot spring eating a boxed lunch on the side, his eyes lit up: "Yo, why did the second child come back?" What did you bring with you to eat? ”

"Quaternary!"

"it!" An Bin blew up directly, "Spare me, is that thing for people to eat." Well, I'd better call someone and get a pizza delivered! ”

"Divide me in half!" When the hot spring heard this, he immediately pushed the lunch box that he hadn't picked up a few bites to the side, and shouted: "This thing is too unpalatable, call for a large portion of black pepper beef!" ”

Sun Cheng shrugged his shoulders, he knew that this would be the case, so An Bin's four-yuan set was actually reserved for himself to eat tomorrow morning.

can afford the high tuition fees of [Imperial College London], and the family conditions of the four people in their dormitory are naturally not bad.

The boss Yang Lin's father worked in the Pengcheng Railway Bureau, even if the official rank was only seven grades, but it was difficult to be poor in that kind of fat water yamen.

Sun Cheng originally ran a small restaurant at home, and his income was good and bad. A few years ago, after being instructed to change to a café, because he caters to the consumption concept of young people, his life is much better now, and he is the only child in the family, so although his living expenses are the least among the four people in the bedroom, they are more than ordinary people.

If it weren't for the Yongli Emperor's imitation of the Han Dynasty's 'Tui En Order' and promulgated the 'Emperor's Grace Decree', stipulating that all the lands of more than 1,000 acres of the family head after his death, the heirs of the concubines have the right to get the land to govern the powerful landlords, and several mountains on the Ning side are the private property of their families.

Even so, when he was assigned to the hot spring father's generation, there were still forty or fifty acres of fertile land, and I heard that his family had cultivated more than a dozen acres of ponds, and his family background was much more solid than Sun Cheng's family.

However, the three of them are well-off families, and they are nothing compared to the fourth Anbin.

I heard that An Bin's grandfather's generation has been running a small hardware business since then, and the family responded to the Ministry of Industry's [national heavy industrialization] subsidy policy more than 20 years ago, and partnered with others to build a small steel plant with an annual production capacity of less than 500,000 tons in the county below Anqing Prefecture.

Rich people are understandably willful.

The eldest Yang Lin is estimated to be hungry, but he is not a picky eater, so he walked over and took a boxed lunch and a glass of water, and said while eating: "I'll go out all night in a while, will the second child come with me?" ”

This guy doesn't know if his family was too strict before, anyway, as soon as he entered the university, he was completely ruined.

Among the few people in the dormitory, he is the one who plays the craziest game.

As soon as he heard that he was going to go all night, Sun Cheng didn't want to refuse directly.

"Go ahead, I've not been in good spirits for the past two days, and I'm so tired that I'm going to die."

What he said was true, Sun Cheng has been affected by a 'weak' state that seems to act on the mental level in the past few days, and his spirit has been a little sluggish for a few days, and he began to yawn after eight o'clock at night, and even during the day, sometimes he can fall asleep within a few minutes of closing his eyes, so naturally he doesn't have the energy to stay up all night.

An Bin didn't think about it and simply refused, "I won't go either, I just stayed up with you all night the day before yesterday and still haven't made up for it." And the student union is busy these days, and there is a reception job tomorrow morning, so I have to go over too! ”

Sun Cheng pursed his lips, he was sometimes quite jealous of the fourth child.

Let's not talk about the family, although An Bin is not as tall as him, he is white and handsome, and his head is also bright, he often skips class with the boss and the third child, and plays games all night, so I haven't seen him study in the library like himself, but when it comes to the school year, the exam is easy.

In his sophomore year, An Bin joined the student union and became even more prosperous, and now he is already the leader of outreach, and this year is expected to impact the existence of the vice president of the student union, in the words of the third child, "this product is the standard winner of life".

He hadn't been in school for a while, Sun Cheng couldn't help but be a little curious, put down the chopsticks in his hand, turned around and asked the fourth: "This has just started, and your student union has outreach activities?" Even you have to go over? ”

An Bin raised a hand to indicate a quieter, he first made a phone call and ordered a pizza, and then nodded and replied after hanging up the phone: "Tomorrow we are going to entertain the student union visiting from other schools, and the leader of our team here is at least one vice chairman, and if you can't keep the 'old division', you have to go out in person!" ”

After speaking, he glanced at Yang Lin on the side, and then glanced at Sun Cheng, who also had a bad smile on his face, and saw the schadenfreude in the other party's eyes.

The full name of the 'old division' in An Bin's mouth is 'Sinan', who is the figure of the 'aviation power major' where Sun Cheng is located, and he is also the student president of [Imperial College London].

Sinan is very good, he was admitted to the [Imperial College London] with the highest score in science and engineering in the country, and he completed all seven courses opened in the first academic year after only three months of enrollment, and also applied to the school to form a new club - [Aircraft Model Club], and soon after the start of the second semester, he manually DIY a 1:24 scale 'C-16 Golden Eagle Fighter'.

[Golden Eagle Fighter] is a localized and improved version of the F-16 fighter introduced by the Ministry of War from the United States of America at the end of the last century, and it is one of the main fighters of the third generation of the Ming Dynasty.

If the goods are just a motor or piston engine bought, it is nothing to make a toy with some wooden strips and pieces of paper, but people have checked enough information on the Internet and the library, and then designed a jet model aircraft after designing the core machine.

The body material is made of zinc aluminum alloy, and even the engine is designed by Sinan himself, and several senior brothers in the engineering department who have already obtained the 'craftsman' job evaluation at that time are invited to help make a miniature turbojet engine.

In addition, during the test flight that year, his model airplane flight once broke through 4,000 meters and alarmed a certain unit of the Army Aviation stationed nearby to send fighter planes on alert, all kinds of places created the birth of a legend.

Sinan, who is just a senior this year, has not only obtained three bachelor's degrees in [aerodynamics], [aerodynamics] and [material mechanics], but has also been accepted as a student by an academician of the Royal Academy of Sciences of the [Institute of Aerodynamics] and is undergoing key training.

Even a 'scholar' like Sun Cheng in the eyes of others has to admit that they entered the school in the same year as Sinan, and they live under a lot of pressure.
