Chapter 19: A New Chapter in Life

Behind the excellent person must be a sad dedication, treat what you do with your heart, be idle, say less and do more, go for your goals, go down-to-earth, work harder, be more persistent, and you will create a little more miracle than others. This is a new realization for Scarface after entering college.

The orientation of the Department of Finance was presided over by the head of the department, a male teacher in his forties who wore glasses.

"Hello students, I am Chen Tong, the head of the Department of Finance of Bencheng University, welcome to the Department of Finance, Ben Thanh University, from today we will spend the most important four years of your life together. You all fought your way through thousands of troops and horses to finally come to this nationally renowned institution of higher learning. A large number of you are county, city and even provincial champions, all of whom have brilliant resumes and have their own arrogance. But before I begin to introduce the situation of the Department of Finance, I would like to advise you to put away your arrogance. If you think that college is the end of your studies, then you will definitely become a scumbag here. Here there are many people who are smarter than you but work harder than you, for you this is a new starting point in your life, you will become a dragon and phoenix among people if you work hard, if you don't work hard to get by, you will inevitably become an authentic scumbag. Professor Chen Tong paused slightly, and thunderous applause suddenly rang out below.

Professor Chen Tong continued: "You are all in the golden time of your life, when you have the most mental and physical strength, and if you don't fall in love during this time, it will be the biggest waste of life. But I can say very responsibly that you can love, but you can't squander your youth, you can't shirk your responsibilities, and you can't hurt the people around you recklessly. Let me first tell you the fact that among the many male students you see, the partner with whom you have been with them for life is still in elementary school, so you must keep your eyes open and not be deceived by appearances before you give everything in pursuit of true love. Please also establish correct values and outlook on life for the male students here, fair ladies and gentlemen, but as long as you have the strength, you can find the other half that suits you at any time, but the purpose is that since you want to get all of the other party, you must take all the responsibilities. "It was applause and periodic cheers.

……

After the orientation meeting, there was a parent-teacher meeting of the whole school in the evening, most of the parents had gone home these days, and the specific situation was not known, and everyone did not care much about these, and the students who were familiar with each other on the way back were discussing the topics of their own interest. Scarface got a message from this that he didn't want to hear, several majors in the finance department of Bencheng University are the top majors in the country, and this major requires English to pass level 6 to get a degree certificate, and if you can't even pass level 4 in English, you won't have a graduation certificate. I didn't say anything about English level 4 at the meeting, because in this major, or even in this school, there seems to be no level 4, and he still listened to students from other majors muttering when he was eating in the cafeteria a few days ago. From this point of view, he is now a proper scumbag.

After dinner, everyone returned to the dormitory, which was the first time that the whole dormitory had been in the dormitory for nearly a week after the start of the semester, and some of the dormitories had been lined up a few days ago, which was also a necessary process in the university dormitory. So someone suggested that everyone briefly introduce their own situation, and we will also rank it out.

"The eldest Lu Jiazheng, a native of Luliang, Shanxi, was born on September 21, 1976; The second eldest Jin Bo, a native of Bencheng, was born on October 15, 1976; Huang Bibo, a native of Qiqihar, Heilongjiang, was born on December 5, 1976; The fourth Zhao Le, a native of Changsha, Hunan, was born on February 22, 1977; Wu Guangyao, a native of Shaoxing, Zhejiang, was born on June 23, 1977; Zhu Gaofeng, a native of Dongying, Shandong, was born on July 11, 1977. Since then, Scarface's title in the school has been replaced by Boss Lu, and only one of the six people in the dormitory is from the countryside, and later I learned that only two of the twenty-eight people in the class were from the countryside, and there are only five rural students in the whole department of one hundred and forty-two people. At that time, the gap between urban and rural areas was not as big as it is now, but the gap in education level has always existed, and this has to be admitted.

Lying in bed at night, after an afternoon of contact, everyone gradually began to get acquainted with each other, and they began to talk casually, and the traditional topic of the boys' dormitory began.

"Everyone noticed that there was a big beauty without investing in learning, and there was really nothing to say about that figure and appearance." The third child, Huang Bibo, took the lead in opening the chatterbox.

"There are a lot of beautiful girls, which one is the third child talking about." Wu Guangyao, the fifth old, said.

"It's the one with long hair, thin waist, and hips sitting in the seventh row of the third row." The third child described.

"You've been looking so closely, I've not even noticed." The second Jin Bo said.

"I think it's pretty good." The sixth Zhu Gaofeng also joined.

"The people who can enter our finance department are all talented women and beauties, we belong to the majors recruited by both arts and sciences, and the girls who generally study literature are all good-looking. I have a classmate in the mathematics department, there are 3 girls in the class of 25 people, and my mother is more terrifying than the other, they are all super big dinosaurs. The fourth Zhao Le also actively joined.

"Ben Thanh University is a good university, a comprehensive university, half of the liberal arts majors, and the ratio of men to women is two to one. My classmate is at Peiyang University next door, which is a pure engineering college and one of the top universities in the country. You don't know, the ratio of men to women in that school is said to be seven to one, wolves have more meat and less meat, and the dinosaurs here go out, and they are also a proper big beauty. My classmate is a computer student, and there is only one woman in their class of 31 people, so this is going to university, and she is simply becoming a monk in a monastery. It is said that their brothers and sisters all went to the Normal University and us for self-study, and some even traveled thousands of miles to the Finance Academy and the Outer Courtyard. The third Huang Bibo said.

"Before I applied for the volunteer, I also wanted to apply for the electronic automation major in Beiyang, but fortunately I didn't. I heard from the senior brother of the former high school who introduced the situation of several universities in Bencheng that the beauties in the outer courtyard, the Han of the Normal University, and the hooligans of Beiyang were running around, which seemed to be true. The fourth Zhao Le said.

"People are saying, don't marry a girl from the outer courtyard, don't marry a teacher, there are two sentences I don't remember, anyway, there is nothing to do with Binhai University and Beiyang, these two schools are famous twin star universities in the country, and Peking University and Tsinghua University in the capital are equally famous, and those who can be admitted to these two universities are the top students in the school, and few people make jokes about these two schools." As a native of Bencheng, the second Jin Bo corrected the name of his alma mater in time.

"Second child, what does it mean not to marry a girl from the outer courtyard or a teacher's man, the girls in the Foreign Language College must be very beautiful, and the teacher should be good. Now the better you study, the lower your appearance, and who will work hard if you can eat with your face. The third child asked.

"The girls in the outer courtyard are good-looking, but they are too open, Chinese and Western food are allowed to eat, if you find a wife and a foreigner have rolled the sheets before, can you stand it? The ratio of men to women in the Normal University is 1:7, which is just the opposite of Beiyang, and the men are slowly becoming feminine and lack masculinity. The second Jin Bo always speaks so seriously, and he answers very seriously.

"Oh, it's a good thing to be open, so you don't have to worry about responsibility, there's no psychological burden, it seems that you want to go to the outer courtyard if you want to soak your sister in the future, where is the outer courtyard, how to go?" The third Huang Bibo said in an envious tone.

"The third child, with your appearance, you won't be lonely wherever you go, if you go to be a male publicist, it will definitely be the top brand, what do you have to worry about." The fifth Wu Guangyao is short, one meter six in his early years, his figure is also very thin, his eyes are highly myopia, and he is very envious of the handsome appearance of the third child.

"That's, don't you have to be picky, the first rich drive the later rich, by the way, I will also find a few for you, and everyone will be blessed and shared." The third child also said jokingly.

"Hey, second child, go to the outer courtyard to take the bus or ride, how convenient, if you ride a bicycle, you have to buy a bicycle tomorrow." The third child is still unwilling to give up the topic of the outer courtyard.

"I'll tell you how to go tomorrow, or I'll take you there tomorrow?" The second Jin Bo said.

"Okay" and "Okay" several people rushed to echo.

"If you want to go, after the class meeting tomorrow, go to the ghost market under the Balitai overpass to buy bicycles, and I'll take you there tomorrow." The second said.

"Is the boss going? There are no bikes for the time being, I'll take you tomorrow. Seeing that Scarface hadn't been involved in the topic, the third child also knew that Scarface's family situation might not be good, so he asked in order to take care of Scarface's emotions.

Everyone waited for Scarface's answer to be quiet for more than ten seconds, and when they heard Scarface breathing evenly, then Lao Wu said: "Damn, the boss is a bull, you can fall asleep when you talk about this kind of topic, I admire it so much." ”

After a while, the lights went out in the dormitory area, and everyone chatted for a while before falling asleep.

The next day, the class meeting of Finance Class 1 was held in a small classroom in the Department of Finance on the fifteenth floor, and there was not much to say. The head teacher is a doctoral student in the Department of Finance named Zhang Changbo, mainly according to the student's files and specialties to designate the four positions of class leader, Youth League secretary, sports committee, and literature and art committee, and the school needs to have a unified organization when organizing related activities. The university does not have the position of a school committee, which is the biggest difference from junior high and high school, and from this point of view, it is completely your own business to start learning from this stage. In the next four years of college life of this homeroom teacher, Scarface never seemed to be touched again.

Only then did Scarface know that there were a total of 28 people in their class, except for one in the basic provinces of Xinjiang and Tibet, with 16 boys and 12 girls. The squad leader is the second child in the dormitory next door to them, Zhao Gang, a native of Liaoning, who used to be the class president and probationary party member in high school, and the sports committee member is their third Huang Bibo It is said that he played basketball very well, and he was on the school basketball team in high school. The secretary of the Youth League is a girl, Mei Jie, a Fujianese, and a probationary party member, and the literary and artistic committee member is Liu Yuting, a native of Xi'an, Shaanxi, and it is said that the violin is played very well, and it is not clear whether it is a violin nine sections or a scarred face of something, in short, they are all cattle people with all-round development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, beauty and art. In short, as the head of the department said, those who can come to this school are former top students, not only do they study well, but they also perform well in all aspects.

At that time, weekends had just begun to be implemented, and the school had just started school with a lot of work these days, and only Sunday was a rest day. The class meeting was held on Saturday morning, because next Monday was a month-long military training, and in the afternoon, they needed to go to the clothing of the military training, and the trip to the outer courtyard of their dormitory was not completed, and this unified action was not completed until the end of the freshman year. These things are things like leading training clothes, and these class committees casually ask a few people they are familiar with to do it, and they don't have the energy to inquire about the specific scarface. As soon as he finished the class meeting, he went to the office area and knocked on the office door of the department grade instructor.

Scarface saw that there were a few female teachers sitting inside, and he was not sure if there was the instructor of the department at the time of the conference, and he didn't remember the appearance of the instructor very clearly at that time, so he asked directly: "Teacher, I am a 95 finance major, and I want to know how to apply for student loans and special hardship subsidies." ”

"Oh, come over and tell me the general situation." A female teacher in her thirties wearing glasses said, Scarface looked over and remembered that this was the instructor of that grade, Cui Lijuan.

"Hello Mr. Cui, I am Lu Jiazheng from the first class of finance, and the situation of my family is like this......", because I need to introduce the family situation in detail, I have to talk about the death of his mother. Scarface started with a facial injury, and kept saying that he would report to school, of course, he didn't say that he still had 2,000 yuan left, but just said that after paying the fees, there is no living expenses, and he hopes to apply for a special hardship subsidy, and then he hopes to find a suitable work-study opportunity with the help of teachers. Scarface's narration lasted less than 10 minutes, and the four female teachers in the office were already crying.

While wiping her tears with a tissue, Mr. Cui took out a table from the desk drawer and said, "Go back and fill out these two forms, and bring them to me when you're done." Scarface took the form and saw that it was a questionnaire for the situation of students in extreme poverty, and the application form for the special poverty subsidy was attached to the back, which had a lot of content to fill in, so he was ready to go back and fill it out and hand it in.

At this time, Mr. Cui continued: "Forget it, you can fill it out here, and I will go to the Youth League Committee to go through the formalities for you immediately after filling it out."

Scarface said "thank you" gratefully, and then filled in everything in earnest. After filling it out, Teacher Cui looked at it and asked him to go back and inform the class leader of their class to come to the office, she had some things to understand and arrange.

After Scarface went back, he conveyed Mr. Cui's words to the class leader Zhao Gang, and in the evening, he listened to Zhao Gang convey the school's instructions to the class leader of the other class, asking each class leader to count the list of students who want to apply for the special poverty subsidy in each class, try to protect the privacy of the applicants, and prevent people from discriminating against them and increasing the psychological burden on the extremely poor students. Then Zhao Gang also said to Scarface alone when the others were not paying attention: "Boss Lu, your application school has been approved, and there are other procedures to go through when you go to Mr. Cui after military training tomorrow afternoon." ”

Although Scarface doesn't know how much help this special hardship subsidy can be, he is still grateful to Mr. Cui and the school from the bottom of his heart. The second day was the first day of military training, and there was nothing special, that is, the school leaders spoke, and the leaders of the troops talked about the qualities that soldiers should have, and then they were grouped according to their departments and professional classes, and they got to know the soldiers with their own military training, that is, their instructors. The boys in the first and second classes of finance where Scarface is located are placed in one row, the boys in insurance and investment are in the second row, and the girls are also in the same combination, which are three and four rows, respectively. The male students of the actuarial science and the male students of a class of a certain major in the Department of Economics are ...... in five rows, and then basically a department is a company, and those who exceed or fall short are mixed up.

The soldiers who led the team were also young men in their 20s, some of them were recruits who had just been in the army for a year, and the four platoons leading Scarface were all veterans who were about to be discharged, except for the fourth platoon commander who was an urban soldier, the others were all rural. After being discharged from the army, the rural soldiers could only go home to work as farmers, and the conditions at home of the fourth platoon commander were okay, saying that the family had already found a job, and after being discharged from the army, he would go to a public institution to drive for the leaders. Therefore, the fourth platoon commander also has a sense of superiority in front of others, and the other comrades-in-arms also take care of the fourth platoon commander for some reason, and they are polite when they choose to lead the team.
