Chapter 5 Desperate Students in Prestigious Schools

One of the most useful is the food stamps. With these food stamps, students can go to a small free vegetable market at the side entrance of the school to exchange them for eggs or money. For the students who usually have more meat and less meat, most of them choose to change the eggs, and then take them back to the dormitory, boil water with an electric rod called "hot fast" in the dormitory, pour it into the cup of beaten eggs, and some students with conditions will bring sugar from home, these students are very happy to take it out and put it in public for everyone to share, and the students are very conscious and cherish the use of these hard-won "treasures". Drinking such egg white sugar water can be regarded as a luxury for Tang Boqiang and many students in the dormitory. About every one to two weeks, Tang Boqiang will change the eggs to "luxury".

In the first three years of college, Tang Boqiang was not in the state, although his grades were maintained at the middle level of his grade. But for Tang Boqiang, he really felt that he had been in a state of confusion, completely lacking the spirituality and understanding he had when he studied before. But Tang Boqiang has a strength, which is also another characteristic of Tang Boqiang becoming an "outlier" in the dormitory, that is, his punctual schedule and rest rules formed since childhood.

Tang Boqiang got up on time every morning to run in the big sports field not far from the dormitory, at first it was a long-distance run, and after less than a month, he found a problem, a bread and a bowl of porridge for breakfast in the canteen (not so much porridge, but rice soup in a big bucket, the students always desperately use a huge spoon to stir for a long time before scooping it up, if you are lucky, you can see some rice grains, and if you are unlucky, you can't even see rice grains, it is pure rice soup), There is no way to guarantee the energy supply of a young man who is in the stage of growth and development, and by the time the morning class reaches the third and fourth periods, the students in the classroom are already hungry, and the effect of the class is of course greatly reduced. Although you can also buy decent lean porridge at the window, it costs 2 cents per serving, which is too expensive for Tang Boqiang, who receives the highest subsidy of 16 yuan a month for poor students. Realizing the problem, Tang Boqiang greatly shortened the distance he ran in the morning, so that the hunger pang during the third and fourth classes in the morning was much reduced.

Evening self-study is very important for Tang Boqiang, and he must use the evening self-study time to digest what he has learned during the day. Despite this, Tang Boqiang still returned to the dormitory on time, put down his schoolbag and went to a relatively dim place in the big sports field to practice kung fu. If it was summer, after a whole set of exercises, sweat would soak through his clothes, and he would go back to the dormitory to take a bath after a short break. Before the lights went out at eleven o'clock as stipulated by the school, he had already quietly lay on the bed and entered a state of pranayama and qi cultivation, and when the classmates came back from outside one after another to go to bed to hold a "sleeping meeting", Tang Boqiang had already fallen asleep in a daze.

No matter how wonderful the content of this "sleeper talk" is, it will not stop Tang Boqiang from falling asleep. I remember that after Tang Boqiang got up one morning, Ding Bowen from the Pearl River Delta, who had a chat with him, asked him: "Tang Boqiang, you dreamed last night, do you know?" Tang Boqiang looked at Ding Bowen blankly and shook his head. Zhang Zidi, who was standing next to Ding Bowen, said loudly: "You dreamed of catching fish last night, and you said it, we asked you how to make it delicious, and you also said that it was delicious like this, how does it taste like eating fish in the middle of the night?" The dormitory everyone laughed. It seems that Tang Boqiang, who went to bed early last night, really dreamed, and may have dreamed of fishing by the Octagonal River, so that there was a conversation between the dreamer and the sober classmates, which also became a joke in the second master's dormitory, and also illustrated everyone's yearning for eating fish and meat from another side, especially Tang Boqiang.

Tang Boqiang remembers very clearly that one summer night, the weather was very hot, and the ceiling fan in the center of the dormitory could not drive away the irritability and uneasiness caused by the stuffy heat. Even Tang Boqiang, who has always fallen asleep on time, unexpectedly lost sleep, about 12 o'clock, it seemed that the whole dormitory had an appointment, and the intestinal sound came out in the mosquito net of each bed in the dormitory of the second class in the quiet and sultry night, sometimes one after another, sometimes resonating in unison, and the sound of the fan turning could not be covered, what is "hungry"? It is vividly embodied on this summer night. In the end, everyone finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Smile after smile, the stomach problem has not been solved, and for these sixteen young men, this hot summer night will be very difficult. In the dark, Zhang Zidi proposed: Why don't we go outside together to see if we can find a night market and have some supper.

As soon as the proposal came out, everyone responded unanimously. Someone said: "The iron door on the second floor is locked, how can it be opened?" ”

"I'll solve this," Brother Xu replied crisply.

So, everyone dressed at a militarized speed, and Zhang Zidi did not forget to remind: everyone be quiet. The last one to come out locked the door to the dormitory, and everyone walked out.

When he arrived at the iron gate, he saw Brother Xu unhurriedly took out a key from his trouser pocket and easily opened the door lock, others seemed to be used to seeing it, but Tang Boqiang was stunned by the scene in front of him: it seemed that he fell asleep early every night, and he didn't know what was happening outside, let alone that the students had already had their own ways to deal with this regulation of the school. Tang Boqiang believes that Brother Xu is not the only one who can easily open the door lock of this gate among the students of the 79th class.

Everyone walked out lightly, locked the gate gently, and walked towards the school gate together. It takes about 20 minutes to walk from the dormitory to the school gate. When they arrived at the school gate, they had to climb over a wall that was not low, which was no problem for the former "wild children" in the second class, and they all jumped onto the sidewalk on the road outside the school.

On the way out, they had already discussed and set off from the school to Beijing Road, the most commercial area in the provincial capital. On the way, it passes through Huaxia No. 2, No. 3, No. 4, No. 5, and then turns into Beijing Road, which are the most prosperous sections of the provincial capital, and everyone hopes to find what they are looking for in these earliest places to enter commercialization.

In the provincial capital at midnight, the neon lights are still flashing and the streets are brightly lit. However, all the shops on both sides of the street as far as the eye can see are closed, and the streets are even more sparsely populated, and the buses have long since stopped.

They slowly walked in the direction of the set goal. Pass the Martyrs' Cemetery, pass the training center, pass the new Daxin Department Store, and turn left into Beijing Road. The more they walked, the more empty their hearts became. The most prosperous long street in this provincial city, on this brightly lit night, there is not a single shop open. This is the provincial capital of the province at the forefront of reform and opening up, and there is no atmosphere of nightlife, or even an atmosphere of working hard for life.

Thirty years later, when Tang Boqiang returned to the provincial capital, and walked along the same path at the same time with several former classmates, everyone couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in their hearts: the vitality of the people was not stimulated at all, and once it was stimulated, the speed of its development and the changes in its ideology would be stunning. That day, they chose the street seats of a bar facing the street, and slowly chatted, sipping tea, eating delicious pastries, while looking at the endless flow of people outside the window and the brightly lit shops and nightclubs around, they all said: How could we have imagined the prosperity of today 30 years ago?

When approaching Gaodi Street on Beijing Road, Zhang Zidi was deflated first and said: "Forget it, there is no way to find it like this, the result will only make us hungrier, so it is better to go back." Everyone actually already had this thought, and as soon as they heard Zhang Zidi say it, they unanimously agreed, turned around and walked back.

Back in the dormitory, everyone was not interested, and the already hungry intestines seemed even hungrier after a long journey. Studying medicine, they came up with a solution: everyone drank some boiled water, hoping to dilute the stomach acid in their stomachs, hoping that their hunger would be relieved.

Because they couldn't sleep, they simply started the "Sleeper Talk" that started the latest in their five-year college career. The content is varied, but it seems to be based on food, everyone is introducing the food of their respective hometowns, Brother Xu saw the opportunity quickly, and quickly stopped it, saying: "You are looking for death, you are all hungry like this, what are you talking about, let's talk about something else." Only then did everyone realize this, and the conversation diverged again. Despite the hunger, he couldn't resist the bursts of sleepiness, and gradually, fewer and fewer people spoke, and slowly all fell asleep in hunger.

Huaxia Medical College's style of study is well-known throughout the country, and Tang Boqiang's feelings are naturally more profound. He originally thought that he was already working hard in his studies, but after he arrived at Huaxia Medical College, he found that there were people who were more desperate than him. It can be imagined what it is like for a group of top learners from all over the country to study hard together.

In fact, the good style of study is due to a set of strict implementation of the elimination system, which is not only for students, but also for teachers. The school will regularly evaluate the teaching level of the teacher, and if the school believes that a teacher has failed in successive evaluations, he or she will be pulled down from the front-line position without mercy, and correspondingly, the prospect of further development of the teacher in the future is very slim.

This kind of pressure on the teacher will naturally be transmitted to the students, and the teachers are also very strict with the students, and will never leave you any room for laziness and luck.

For students, the college also has clear regulations, where a student who fails the make-up examination twice in a single subject in a row, the college will order the student to withdraw from the school, and Tang Boqiang's 79th class has 2 students who have been ordered to withdraw from the school. These strict systems, coupled with ruthless and iron-fisted implementation, have made this prestigious university famous throughout the country, Hong Kong, Macao and some countries in the world, and the students it has trained have also become "sought-after" in major medical schools and hospitals.

The curriculum of Huaxia Medical College is generally in the morning for classes of various disciplines, and most of the classes of each discipline are not arranged in fixed classrooms. Whenever the class of this subject is finished, the students will desperately run to the next classroom with or on their backs, in order to occupy a high position, so every time the campus between classes will see a group of students doing such a "running race". If you encounter some "master" teachers in the class, it will attract students who have already completed the same content course to return to the class. Such days are not rare in Huaxia Medical College, because there are too many famous teachers in Huaxia Medical College, and their wonderful classes make the students who listen to the lectures endlessly memorable and fascinated. There are many students who choose to listen one or more times, and every now and then, the location of the classroom is the goal of everyone's competition. If you really can't compete, you have to stand quietly at the back and on both sides of the classroom to listen, that kind of scene is deeply engraved in Tang Boqiang's mind, making Tang Boqiang unforgettable for life. Because of this, when Tang Boqiang became a teacher at Gulf Medical College, the previous class scenes and the teacher's teaching skills gave Tang Boqiang great help and inspiration, so that Tang Boqiang later became a "master" in the hearts of the students of Gulf Medical College and one of the teachers that students liked. Many students like to listen to Tang Boqiang's classes, although they are not as lively as Tang Boqiang's study, but Tang Boqiang is deeply satisfied and proud.
