Text Chapter 52 Autumn Window Wind and Rain

The days flew by. Song Huiqin's life is like that of the poor peasants described in "An Analysis of the Classes in Chinese Society". She eats two steamed buns and a bowl of porridge in the morning, which costs 1 yuan. If you eat a bowl of rice noodles, you need two pieces of rice, and add an egg of five cents, and you need a piece of seven. At noon, a serving of rice costs 5 cents, a vegetarian dish costs 1 yuan, an ordinary meat dish costs 2 yuan, and a better meat dish costs 2.5 yuan. Dinner or noodles in the evening, about 1.5 yuan. She saves a little, only 5 yuan a day. At that time, the price was not high, and most poor students could only eat half a bowl of noodles for 5 yuan a day. She can't afford to drink coffee at such a consumption level, and she often refuses Wu Linfeng's invitations.

The learning atmosphere of the school is very good, and the classrooms, study rooms, and libraries are frequented by students majoring in applied physics. They are like nerds, with only their minds set on studying, and occasionally participating in some club activities and physical exercises. Under pressure from the seniors, they have to pass the CET-4 and CET-6 exams as soon as possible, and they have to take a lot of certificates. Some students start from the enrollment registration, and when others are playing in the dark, they set the goal of studying for a master's degree.

One day, Song Huiqin had lunch and took a nap, and she went to the library without classes in the afternoon. Whenever she gets bored, only the books in the library can make her feel at ease. The reading room of the library is full, and it has long been occupied by top students. Some of them are reading books, and some are doing their homework inside.

Song Huiqin came to the bookshelf of classical literature, where there are a sea of famous works such as the Book of Poetry, pre-Qin prose, Chu Ci, Han Fu, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties literature, Tang poetry, Song Ci, Yuan Qu, Ming and Qing novels, etc. Song Huiqin saw "Dream of Red Mansions", she had read it before, but she didn't have a deep experience, and she heard that such a great work had to be read many times to understand the flavor. She took a fancy to two books, one was the original book "Dream of Red Mansions", and the other was a work by red experts interpreting the Dream of Red Mansions. When she stretched out her hand to "Dream of Red Mansions", she clearly touched another hand, the hand of a male classmate.

"Classmate, do you want to borrow this book too?" Song Huiqin asked.

"Ladies first, if you want to see it, I won't borrow it." The boy said.

"Did you come across this book first, or did it give it to you?"

"This book is 'full of absurd words', what's there to see, you still see." The boy said.

"Do you really give it to me? Don't you regret it? Will you leave 'a handful of bitter tears'? ”

"This is the last one. It's really for you, you'll show it to me when you're done. The boy said.

Song Huiqin didn't shirk anymore, borrowed these two books, and also gave the contact information to the boy. Coincidentally, this boy is Tang Meng from Group 2 of Huaishu Village, Baishi Township, S County, and he was just admitted to the civil engineering major of U City University of Technology this year. His father is Tang Ao and his younger brother is Tang Ning. Song Huiqin borrowed a few more books on the "Advanced Mathematics" problem book. They walked out of the library together.

"It's a pity that "Dream of Red Mansions" is a fragment, only the first 80 chapters were written by Cao Xueqin and Cao Gong with great effort, and the last 40 episodes were ruined." Song Huiqin said.

"What's there to regret about this? In "Journey to the West", Sun Wukong said: 'Heaven and earth are incomplete, and the scriptures should be incomplete, and it is beyond the power of man! It is precisely because "Dream of Red Mansions" is incomplete that it reflects its preciousness and beauty! Tang Meng said.

"Even so, it's a pity after all. No wonder Zhang Ailing said that there are three major hatreds in life: one hates the prickly anchovies, the second hates the begonias without fragrance, and the third hates the unfinished dream of Red Mansions. Song Huiqin said.

"You like literature so much, why don't you study Chinese?"

"At that time, the high school homeroom teacher told me that the Chinese department is a jack-of-all-trades major, and it will be difficult to find a job in the future. He advised me to study physics and chemistry, and literature should only be a hobby. Poor families, in particular, can't afford to play this literature. You know, our teachers teach Chinese. In addition, I liked Marie Curie, so I applied for the Applied Physics major. I originally wanted to study theoretical physics, but I was afraid that this major would not eat the fireworks of the world, and it would be difficult to find a job in the future. Song Huiqin said.

"Me too, this literature is not for the poor, so I applied for a civil engineering major. In order for people to live, they must have staple food, and MSG is not necessary. For me, literature is nothing more than monosodium glutamate, and my major will only provide me with a staple food to feed me later. Tang Meng said.

Walking to the fork in the road of the boys' and girls' dormitories, Song Huiqin said: "I finished reading "Dream of Red Mansions", I won't return it first, I will lend it to you." Of course, the library has this book on my head, and you can take advantage of it! ”

After dinner, Song Huiqin found a classroom to do homework on "Advanced Mathematics". There is a lot of homework, and I have to hand it in the next class. The assignment is to find the derivation of compound functions, and Song Huiqin has mastered the corresponding calculation rules, for her, these problems are too simple, too mentally retarded, so easy!

It's autumn, the leaves outside the classroom have fallen, and the autumn grass has turned yellow. A light rain fell outside the window, and the wind blew into the classroom, and the fluorescent lamps (commonly known as electric bars) in the classroom kept shaking, accompanying Song Huiqin to do homework in the long night. A cool breeze blew in, and she couldn't help but shiver. Song Huiqin thought of her parents at home, her mother was sick, she was tracheitis (commonly known as houbao locally), she couldn't do heavy work, and her father was old and worked hard in the land all day long, doing his best to provide her with education. She couldn't help but shed tears......

The autumn breeze blew into the classroom and opened the "Dream of Red Mansions" she had borrowed from the library. Qingfeng can't read, why do you flip through books? The autumn wind happened to turn to the page of "Autumn Window Wind and Rain", and a poem appeared in front of Song Huiqin. There is a poem as proof:

The autumn flowers are bleak, the autumn grass is yellow, and the autumn lights are long in the autumn night.

I have felt that the autumn window is endless, and the wind and rain help the desolation!

How fast will the autumn wind and rain come? Breaking the autumn window and autumn dream green.

I couldn't bear to sleep with my autumn feelings, and I moved tears and candles to the autumn screen.

The tears and candles are shaking and swaying, and the sorrow and hatred are moving.

Whose autumn courtyard has no wind to enter? Where is there no sound of rain in the autumn window?

Luo Ji is reluctant to resist the autumn wind, and the residual leakage sound urges the autumn rain to be urgent.

The veins were fluttering all night, and it seemed to be accompanied by crying in front of the lamp.

The cold smoke courtyard turned depressed, and the bamboo and empty windows dripped.

I don't know when the wind and rain will stop, and I have taught tears to sprinkle the window screen wet.
