Volume One Hundred and Forty-Four Countdown

Defense, the last hurdle before graduation. The students don't know where they got the news, and they describe the graduation defense as terrible as hell, and there are often "real cases" of students who have not been able to graduate because they have not passed the defense. The teachers in our group are the three most serious in the whole major, all of whom have very rich experience in teaching Chinese as a foreign language, and they are also very strict in reviewing students' papers. Therefore, our group is called by the whole profession: the group of death.

On the day of the defense, everyone gathered in the designated classroom early, and everyone was extremely nervous, after all, everyone was a big girl who went to the sedan chair. The bishop's corridor was unusually quiet, and it seemed that the entire teaching building was only the 80 or so people of our major and the judges who participated in the defense.

When I walked into the classroom, I found that the seats in the middle of the classroom had been vacated, and there were only three tables left in the middle, and a stool was placed opposite the table, which was supposed to be for the students who were defending. The three teachers were already seated in their seats, smiling as we walked to the seats on either side of the road. This kind of scene reminds me of the scene when I went to Beijing Film Academy for the re-examination, and the embarrassing performance scene in the past suddenly came to mind, and there was a trace of regret in my heart. And it is precisely this memory that makes my whole person feel a little more relaxed, and it seems that the lessons of the past can also become experiences. The judging team leader is our freshman Modern Chinese teacher and deputy director of the program, who has just returned from teaching at the Confucius Institute in Russia. In the face of our nervous children, who were already sweating on their foreheads, she briefly introduced us to the process and rules of the defense in a relaxed way, and gave each of us a chocolate candy brought back from Russia. With a sweet mouth, everyone relaxed, and some people's faces began to turn cloudy. However, when the defense officially began, everyone returned to their previous tense state.

Although we were separated by several classrooms from the other groups, with everyone, QQ and SMS, we were able to understand each other's defense progress, and it was clear that our group was the slowest in progress. The other groups were almost halfway through the morning, and we didn't even have a hand on our side. Although the school gave us two days to defend the defense, the progress of our group is really full at present.

The rumors are true, and the reviewers read the students' papers very carefully, and they will ask their own questions about some ambiguous arguments and arguments. If you don't answer, they won't reprimand you harshly on the spot, but give you a beautiful smile, and with their aura, your brain will be blank for a short time in a cold sweat and shudder. However, the students who can choose these three as tutors basically have some strength, although there are occasional pimples, and the time for the defense is relatively long, but they all passed in the end.

Finally it was my turn, and I was a little nervous, but when I actually sat in that position, it was like that. Following the process, I briefly talked about my thesis, and looked at the slightly raised corners of my advisor's mouth across from me, I thought it should be able to satisfy her. Because I have been preparing this subject since my sophomore year, and I have carefully studied all the literature and materials, I can answer the questions of the teachers fluently. The most important thing is that my research direction is not in the research field of the three reviewers, so they can't ask any fatal questions, and they don't speak after two questions. And just like that, I ended my defense in a daze.

After all, they have been classmates together for four years, and a few days ago, the squad leader of Dabiao and the squad leader next door convened the class committees of the two classes, and through the study of the meeting, they unanimously decided to have a casual meal for the whole major after the defense. At the end of the defense, my mind was full of the next night's party, according to the head of the Da Biao class, it was to eat roast whole sheep, and the environment was beautiful, and all the girls here were our majors, I guess I would never have the opportunity to eat with so many girls again in my life, and I couldn't help but feel a little excited.

But when I was playing in the dormitory in the afternoon, my tutor suddenly called me to inform me that I was going to defend my second defense...... My heart suddenly rose to my throat, isn't it okay in the morning, what's wrong? Got a paper check? It stands to reason that my repetition rate is not high, although there are many materials cited, but I also write a lot of content myself! Later, after listening to the supervisor's explanation, I realized that my paper was recommended for excellent papers, and I needed to participate in the review of the college, so that I could send it to the school later. This should be regarded as a kind of honor, after my overnight inquiry, Sister Ye, who is in the same group as me, her thesis has also been recommended. The college-level defense is always more rigorous, so that those of us who have been "recommended" have to continue to prepare. In fact, there is nothing to prepare for in the content of the round, after all, it has already reached the link of defense, but the mentality has to be readjusted, and the roast whole sheep that has not yet eaten is suddenly not fragrant.

On the second day, the defense of all majors was over, and everyone passed successfully. In the evening, everyone went to the dinner place as agreed. Out-of-town students like me never thought that there would be such an elegant paradise in the downtown area of Chahachong, and the girls began to take photos together. This is supposed to be a farmhouse manor, with a small man-made lake in the middle and a nine-curved cloister on the lake. One step at a time, I felt like I was back in Gangnam. When I came to the dining room of the party, there was a large oven in the middle of it, and the sheep on the stove had been tested to a golden brown, and the smell of mutton filled the whole hall. There are four large round tables on each side of the oven, and everyone is seated in the dormitory.

After everyone was seated, the squad leader next door and Da Biao discussed a few words and began to say a toast. But everyone was attracted by the fragrance and the beautiful scenery, and they all chatted with each other, completely ignoring the squad leader next door who was speaking to everyone in the center of the hall. Da Biao's squad leader wanted to signal everyone to be quiet, but his face was still not good. The squad leader next door suddenly felt bad in his heart, and he came up with a lot of energy, and said: "That's it......" and then took a sip of the drink in the cup, and scattered the rest on the ground.

This action attracted everyone's attention, and the atmosphere in the entire hall reached a freezing point, and some unreasonable people began to whisper.

"How so?"

"Yes."

"What's the big deal."

……

"Don't take it personally, something happened to his family, I hope we can understand each other." Da Biao's squad leader immediately came out to explain and apologize to everyone, and many people noticed that the squad leader next door was wearing a black gauze on his arm, "This sheep is already cooked, there is a knife here, everyone will share a point together, and then eat it yourself." Under the round field of the big biao squad leader, everyone got up and walked towards the roast whole sheep in the middle of the hall with their plates.

I thought that the knife for cutting mutton was a small dagger with national characteristics, but it turned out to be a paper knife for sharpening pencils when I was a child, which amused everyone, and with the accompaniment of food, the atmosphere in the hall gradually became lively.

Lin Ye used to sit in the back row of the classroom in class, except for Sister Fei and them, the names of the female classmates in the class were not all called, let alone the class next door. And Da Biao's squad leader was helping everyone pick meat in the middle, and Lao Zhao and I were arranged to other tables because we were late, and Eric's alcohol consumption was just like that. So, in addition to having a few drinks with a few boys in the next class, Lin Ye could only sit in his position and eat and drink. Drinking by yourself is always a disadvantage, and besides, this may be the last time he will meet everyone, Lin Ye feels that it is not a matter to go on like this, anyway, there are not many tables together, according to his amount of wine, it is not a problem at all, so he got up with the wine bottle, intending to toast from table to table. However, what Lin Ye didn't expect was that the girls saw the most beautiful person among the professional boys come to toast, and all of them were interested, and Lin Ye was asked to make a circle at each table, and some even asked him to drink two ...... Soon, Lin Ye fell into the circle of girls, and when I saw him again, he was already lying on the table......

My side of Lao Zhao has been restless, originally he wanted to stay in the dormitory to complete the game task, if it wasn't for me and Da Biao's squad leader to talk about it, he wouldn't want to go out of the dormitory. Like Lin Ye, Lao Zhao doesn't communicate much with the girls in the class, and now he is really not interested in drinking with them. Except for me, no one else at our table likes to drink. After eating a few bites of mutton and drinking a few sips of beer, Lao Zhao still got up to say goodbye to Da Biao's squad leader, and then took a taxi back to the dormitory alone.

The sheep in the hall have been dismembered to the bones, and the Da Biao squad leader has also begun to toast everyone from table to table. Seeing this situation, I also got up with the wine bottle, there is wine today and drunk today, and I will defend tomorrow and say anything else tomorrow! In the past four years, I haven't drunk less, but in fact, I don't know much about the rules of toasting, the most important thing is that I don't know what to say to them, and I think about saying "eat and drink well" and then drink it all and it's over, and as a result, every table has a sad pass. It was also on that day that I finally saw the true face of our professional girls at the wine table, and I also appreciated their excellent eloquence. Thankfully, I didn't perform a live fountain that night......
