Chapter 24: The Youth of Parents
Twenty-five years ago, my parents' college life.
At that time, the university campus was a far cry from what it is now, and the dormitories were still bunk beds; The campus was not as high-end and beautiful as it is now, with blue bricks and red walls everywhere, and the shadow of old-fashioned bicycles can be seen everywhere.
Of course, a student who can ride a bicycle is not necessarily from an ordinary background. At the time, it was great for a family to have a bicycle.
"Fang Qing, that fluted boy who studied physics is here to bring you food again!"
The female classmate in the same class met Bai Yanxian who was wandering at the door at the door, and shouted at Fang Qing with a smile, and suddenly Fang Qing's face turned red into a ripe persimmon.
At that time, the atmosphere of the university was not as open as it is now, and the feelings of the parents were mostly reserved and introverted. Even if they go to college and fall in love, the two of them will be a little embarrassed to walk on the road, let alone holding hands and hugging like now.
Classrooms are closed at noon in order to allow some students to make the most of their time to study.
At lunchtime, Fang Qing stayed in the classroom with Bai Yanxian, finished eating, and continued to study.
The school meals are cheaper than outside, but for Bai Yanxian, who spent all the money in his family to pay the tuition, every meal is counted. But even so, he couldn't bear to let the girl he liked go hungry.
Bai Yanxian and Fang Qing are both college students who came to the north from the south to study, and southerners like to eat rice, but the north is rich in big white steamed buns. It's okay for a day or two, but after a few months, everyone will be hungry.
Thirty years ago, rich people ate meat, and thirty years later, rich people eat vegetables.
At that time, the living conditions were also very poor, and Bai Yanxian only had the few opportunities to eat meat in a month, he would save it, not eat it himself, and leave it to Fang Qing, who also came from the south, to buy her rice and meat dishes.
Bai Yanxian often came to wait for her outside Fang Qing's classroom, which was no secret in the crowd. Fang Qing has long been accustomed to the surprise of seeing Bai Yanxian every day after class, sometimes if he doesn't come, she will feel lost.
Bai Yanxian's appearance is not handsome, because he has worked in the fields all the year round, his skin is dark, and his hands and feet are relatively rough. But from the aesthetic point of view at that time, such an honest and honest young man is the ideal candidate in the minds of girls, practical, hard-working, knowledgeable, and the future is limitless.
At that time, college students were incredible, and they were all one in a million in the country, even college students, not ordinary people could compare, and they all had stable jobs after they came out.
Bai Yanxian's chosen major is physics, and the purpose is to contribute to the development of New China.
Back then, Bai Yun's grandfather gave Bai Yanxian such a bookish name, also so that he could study hard and improve the old environment after he learned something. Not to mention anything else, what an exciting thing it is for a child from a rural family to be admitted to university! Glory to the ancestors!
Fang Qing was naturally attracted to Bai Yanxian. But the relationship has not been confirmed.
In the eyes of the bold courtship young people who "confess if you like it", the ignorance and youthfulness of the campus love back then seem to be difficult for them to understand.
Lawyer Wu was still a young man named Wu Qingsong, who also studied law and was in the same class as Su Qing.
In the face of the girl he likes, Bai Yanxian has already taken practical action, although Wu Qingsong is more introverted, he is also unwilling to give up his sweetheart to others like this.
So there is often such a scene on campus, two big boys in jeans with similar figures always revolving around a girl. Bai Yanxian sent rice, and Wu Qingsong sent candy; As soon as Bai Yanxian came to the classroom to find Fang Qing, Wu Qingsong simply stayed in the classroom and didn't leave; Bai Yanxian can write love letters, and Wu Qingsong can participate in the debate competition with Fang Qing......
No one picks out the facts, but feelings are so obvious on the table.
