Section 6 Flying down
After November, Beijing began to cool rapidly, and the minimum temperature soon dropped to around freezing.
In order to survive the cold winter, Li Shan specially bought a down jacket, which is not needed in the winter in the south. The appearance of this down jacket made the dormitory full of flying down.
Li Shan returned from self-study, climbed on the top bunk, took off his down jacket, got into the quilt, and lifted a piece of down. Yang Jun is listening to Bee with his Walkman
G's song, stretched out his head and looked up at the top bunk, but a piece of down fell into his big eyes.
Yang Jun rubbed his eyes vigorously, trying to rub the down out, and said dissatisfiedly, "Ah Shan, what kind of clothes are you?" Float everywhere. ”
"What's wrong?" Ahsan put down the "Regional Economics" in his hand and probed down. "Down jackets are made of down. I bought it at the mall, and it cost more than 300 yuan. ”
"More than 300 is just that?" Yang Jun found that he couldn't rub the down out of his eyes, so he had to take out a small mirror from the drawer and pull it out in front of the mirror.
"Why don't you wear clothes here, you take off your down jacket and you're naked, it's so weird." Yang Jun waved his hand and fanned away the down flying around him, and he didn't dare to open his eyes anymore.
"How convenient, take off your clothes and go straight to sleep, put on your clothes and go to class." Ah Shan smiled pleasantly, "It's more trouble to wear more clothes and do more laundry." ”
"You don't do housework at home, why do you act like a baby?"
"What housework do big men do, it's all done by my mother and my sister. Since I was a child, my mother has taught my sister to wash clothes and cook, which is what a woman should do, and I don't have to do anything. ”
"It's really feudal." Yang Jun frowned and said disdainfully.
"Isn't that normal, women are supposed to serve men? My fingernails are cut for me at home. ”
"Ahh That's an exaggeration, right? Yang Jun's eyes widened in surprise, but another piece of down floated into his eyes.
Yang Jun took out the small mirror again irritably, picked it a few times, and went out.
"I said I basically didn't do anything at home, didn't I do a good job here?"
"I still have a lot of books to read, what's the use of doing this. I want to complete the original accumulation of knowledge during my university years. ”
Yang Jun thought for a moment and continued to listen to the song, as if he hadn't accumulated much knowledge now.
Indeed, Li Shan is a baby in life, but Yang Jun admires him in learning.
Li Shan's college entrance examination was originally applied for the Department of Economics, but he was transferred to the Department of Public Administration. This also could not stop his love for economics, and he was determined to apply for a graduate degree in economics. In more than a year, he has read more than 50 professional books on economics, most of which Yang Jun can't even figure out the name, and it is full of all kinds of graphics, formulas, and clouds.
Yang Jun is skeptical that these formulas can solve economic problems, but he also knows that it is not easy to understand.
Like Yang Jun, Li Shan is not interested in the professional courses of the Department of Public Administration, but often attends the professional courses of the Department of Economics to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination. He had perfect marks on both calculus exams in his freshman year, and he turned in the paper in just an hour on the two-hour exam, even though some in the class failed and a few struggled to pass the grade.
Although Yang Jun also scored two excellent scores in mathematics, Li Shan warned him that the mathematics of the postgraduate entrance examination is not an order of magnitude, and the perfect score of 100 points is usually 55 points, but three-quarters of people can't get 55.
This made Yang Jun feel a little pressure, because there were too many things to do and his energy was too scattered, he had gradually lagged behind Li Shan in the preparation for the graduate school entrance examination. But he still thinks that he is very smart, and he still has so much time, and he is not in a hurry.
Although Yang Jun and Li Shan have very different personalities, they have a lot in common. They all treat money like dung. Yang Jun just hopes that he can eat meat at every meal in the future, and has no other pursuit of material life, and Li Shan doesn't even have this pursuit.
They all firmly believe that they are extraordinary people, who can achieve a career, and they are working hard for it.
And they're all from Province H, a place where talent is abundant.
Li Shan suggested that Yang Jun apply for the relatively easy planning major of the University, and Yang Jun felt that he was reasonable, and it was better to be safe. If you can go to the graduate school of Social University, the major is not too bad, but it is too popular and the competition is too fierce, and it is easy to fail the examination.
But Li Shan is going to be difficult to take the exam, and he is not interested in ordinary people at all. Even the teachers of some colleges, after listening to the class, he felt that the level was too poor, and ordinary people could no longer enter his eyes.
There are many people in Class 1 who, like Li Shan, are working hard silently and taking the postgraduate entrance examination as the highest goal. The vast majority of them choose to take the entrance examination, and the majors they choose are all popular majors such as economics, human resources, accounting, and journalism, which means that it will be very difficult to get into. It is said that these majors are ranked first in the country, and many people aspire to them.
Most of these students come from small cities or rural areas, and they are usually very inconspicuous, have no special skills, and are not willing to get involved in the affairs of the student union. They have clear goals, study hard silently, endure loneliness and loneliness, and gradually accumulate their strength. After all, who else can you rely on but yourself?
In such an era, they still have the opportunity to compete relatively fairly with others and stand out on their own.
Twenty years later, through years of hard work, the ten-year-old predecessors of Chang Yang Jun have occupied a place at a higher level, have a large number of social resources, and provide their descendants with a favorable growth environment and a broad vision, as well as strong backstage support. But at the same time, it also blocks the passage for others to rise.
At the end of the twentieth century, the dreams of these young people, like the white down of the room, unadulterated, gently flew in the air and warmed their hearts.
