The couplet "act when you see the opportunity, enter the soil for peace" obviously draws on Chen Yinke's "sit when you see the opportunity, and enter the soil for peace".

Fu Sinian, Chen Yinke and others dug a pit in their yard and covered it with wooden planks and sand. When the Japanese bombed, they went into the holes. Because there is often stagnant water in the cave, Chen Yinke always takes a bench to sit, so the word "sitting" is highlighted, which is often misinterpreted as "work" in later generations.

The real "do it when you see the opportunity, and settle it in the ground" is a couplet written by the playwright Lu Qian, and it was even earlier - Lu Qian made a basement in his house when he was hiding from the bombing of Nanjing.

One is from Beiping, the other is from Nanjing, the former went to Kunming, the latter went to Chongqing, Chen Yinke and Lu Qian should have no intersection. Therefore, there is no one who plagiarized who in these two couplets, it should be their own feelings, and there is just one word different.

On the other hand, there is another couplet, "The Geometry of Life, the Triangle of Love", which should probably be the masterpiece of a science student.

For the male students of Southwest Associated University, dodging the bombing is not something to be feared, but it is a stormy affair, and there are more than one or two pairs of students who become couples because of the bombing.

There are three types of air defense alerts –

The first is an advance warning, that is, enemy planes are found on the border of the defense zone, and they may enter the country to bomb them.

The second is an air raid siren, which indicates that Japanese planes have entered the territory of Yunnan, but they may not necessarily come to Kunming. If the teachers and students heard this kind of alarm, they simply ignored it and sat in the classroom as usual to do their studies.

The third is the emergency alarm, which is a continuous and rapid sound cut-off, indicating that the early warning officer has determined that the plane is coming to bomb.

During the Anti-Japanese War, China's air defense early warning system was very perfect, like the previous air battle in Chongqing, if it had not been for the sneak attack by Japanese planes in a circle to the northeast, I am afraid that it would have been discovered by the air defense observation station before reaching the Three Gorges.

What Zhou Hexuan heard today was an emergency alarm, and the first reaction of many male students was not to run quickly, but to return to the dormitory to get treasured snacks - peanuts and the like.

After getting the snacks, those male classmates stood at the back gate and waited, and when they saw their favorite female classmates, they immediately greeted them. If you can go to the cemetery to avoid the alarm and eat peanuts together, and then chat, talk about life ideals or something, then it is basically not far from a couple.

The "pair" of running the air defense alarm is not fixed, and it is possible that this time I just got familiar with it, and next time I was robbed of my "girlfriend". The science student who wrote the couplet of "Geometry of Life, Love Triangle" is probably that the girl was robbed, and he has a new understanding of the geometric triangle with emotion.

Seeing the "love triangle" embedded in the stone, Zhou Hexuan couldn't help but look at Jin Yuelin and found that this gentleman was empty-handed and did not bring any suitcases.

Wang Zengqi's article recorded that a gentleman who studied Oriental philosophy at the Southwest Associated University brought a small suitcase with him when he ran the alarm, and there was no gold or silver treasure in the suitcase, but a letter written to him by a wise woman.

Many people think that it alludes to Jin Yuelin and Lin Huiyin, but the description is wrong. Although Jin Yuelin also studied Eastern philosophy, he was more adept at Western philosophy, especially logic, and the word "Oriental" should be removed when describing him.

It seems that the infatuated professor of philosophy has someone else......

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The sound of bombing kept coming, but the gentlemen in the cave did not change their faces, sitting or standing there and talking.

In addition to Zhou Hexuan and the two bodyguards, there are also "Geng style control" Mei Yiqi, "flammable and explosive" Wen Yiduo, "infatuated sage" Jin Yuelin, "orange master" Zhu Ziqing, "crotch kicking maniac" Liu Wendian, "difficult to climb the stairs" Fei Xiaotong, and a wild male classmate with a rice bowl.

Zhu Ziqing intoxicated and spit out the smoke rings, and commented: "Mingcheng You should live in Kunming for a long time, the professors' cigarette problem will be solved, and it is not easy to buy camel cigarettes in Kunming." ”

Wen Yiduo smiled and said: "I don't care, foreign tobacco and national tobacco will not refuse, anyway, you can smoke it." ”

"You're a generous smoker." Zhu Ziqing said.

Jin Yuelin disagreed with Wen Yiduo's point of view: "Cigarettes are also divided into several grades. The top grade is a cigar, the middle grade is a cigarette, and the lower grade is a hookah. Chinese cigarettes and hookahs are not easy to smoke, so bad, I would rather choose not to smoke. ”

These three gentlemen are all old smokers, and Zhu Ziqing writes prose to elevate smoking to a philosophical level; Wen Yiduo smokes with students in class, and sometimes asks students to borrow a fire; Jin Yuelin once smoked a German cigar and got drunk, and after getting drunk, he had suicidal thoughts.

Zhu Ziqing smiled and said to Jin Yuelin: "Then you are an expert in smoking." ”

Wen Yiduo refuted Jin Yuelin and said: "Foreign cigarettes are cigarettes, national cigarettes are also cigarettes, cigars, cigarettes, and hookahs are all cigarettes." According to me, all smokers are equal, what is the superiority? This is the same as people, it is a person who is an official, it is a person who is a scholar, and it is also a person who grows food, all with one head and two arms, which are essentially the same. ”

Jin Yuelin was not good at words, so he only said stiffly: "Anyway, I don't smoke shoddy cigarettes." ”

The difference in personality between the two can be seen from smoking, Jin Yuelin belongs to the kind of person who would rather lack than abuse. Since falling in love with Lin Huiyin, he has never married, as if he knows the taste of good cigarettes, and would rather endure his addiction to smoking than smoke badly.

Jin Yuelin liked to raise chickens all his life, and the reason was that Lin Huiyin gave him a big rooster in a joke. He not only raised chickens in Beiping, but also raised chickens in Kunming, and also raised chickens in Lizhuang, and seemed to see Lin Huiyin himself when he saw chickens.

The topic started with smoking, and gradually talked about domestic and foreign industries, and discussed very seriously why the taste of national tobacco is worse than that of foreign cigarettes.

Immediately after that, the conversation gradually shifted to prices and wages. Liu Wendian is also a smoking maniac, he asked Zhou Hexuan for one after smoking, lit a cigarette and said, "Principal Mei, now that prices have risen sharply, shouldn't wages also rise?" Some teachers don't have enough to eat. ”

Why did Jiang Menglin, president of Peking University, and Zhang Boling, president of Nankai, take the initiative to leave after the merger of the three schools, so that Mei Yiqi can serve as the president of Southwest Associated University with peace of mind?

Because Mei Yiqi is the president of Tsinghua University, he has Gengzi school money in his hand!

You heard it right, Tsinghua Geng's money hasn't been used up yet—until Zhou Hexuan crosses, Tsinghua University in Taiwan can still receive Geng's money checks every year.

Mei Yiqi shook her head and said: "The annual quota of Tsinghua Geng's funds is limited, and I still have to pay for students' study in the United States, so I don't dare to use it easily." Moreover, if you want to raise teachers' salaries, the Ministry of Education has the final say, and I can't make my own decisions. ”

Fei Xiaotong came up with an idea and said: "You can't be the master of raising wages, you can give subsidies to teachers." ”

Zhu Ziqing said: "Yes, the subsidy depends on the situation. There are those who give part-time lectures in other schools, but there are few or no lectures, and there are many people who teach at the United Nations University wholeheartedly. Professors with other incomes can be paid less, and professors with only salary income can be paid more. Especially the professors of science and engineering, their lives are really sad. ”

Mei Yiqi frowned and said, "I'll think about it again." ”

Literati like Zhu Ziqing, Wen Yiduo, and Jin Yuelin are actually living quite well. In addition to being a teacher and receiving a salary, they also have various manuscript fees and royalties, and their family background is relatively thick, which is more than enough to support the prices in 1939, and they can even go to the restaurant every once in a while to drink a little wine.

The really poor is a science and engineering professor like Huang Ziqing, although he was born in a gentry family, he really doesn't have much spare money in his pocket.

Now Huang Ziqing has calculated the temperature scale of water, which belongs to the international scientific community, and he can live a very nourishing life if he finds a job abroad. However, he chose to return to Tsinghua University to teach, and overcame many difficulties to establish experimental equipment for electrochemical research, and all the money he had saved in the past was put into it.

From Beiping to Changsha, and then to Kunming. Huang Ziqing dragged his family with him, and he had no other income except his salary, and sometimes he had to post money for experiments, so he was so poor that he was reluctant to buy cigarettes.
