The students who were admitted to the university in the seventh and ninth grades are indeed "the pride of the sky".

When Zhan Zhizhan took the college entrance examination that year, about 250 people in the school participated, most of them from their experimental class. These people were shortlisted for the college entrance examination less than 70 people, and less than 30 people were admitted to the college entrance examination. Among them, there are two key universities, 13 from the second table university, 8 from junior college, and 6 from secondary school. According to the teacher, their school ranked first in the entire region in terms of pre-selection acceptance rate that year. To be honest, the college entrance examination was a nightmare for Zhan Zhizhan that year, and until many years later, he still often dreamed of the intense study and college entrance examination in the county high school back then. Zhan Zhizhan was often awakened by miscellaneous and even ridiculous dreams, and was scared into a cold sweat.

Zhan Zhizhan is not only in their village, but also in the Zhan family, and even in the whole commune, he is also the only lucky person who has been admitted to the university for a bachelor's degree. After receiving the acceptance letter, the whole commune was in a stir. Since then, Zhan Zhizhan has even become a role model for villagers near and far to educate their children to learn. At that time, college students were one in a hundred after all, and after graduation, the state package was assigned, and they didn't have to worry about finding a job. Especially for rural children like Zhan Zhizhan, they can change the fate of "facing the loess with their backs to the sky", and it is the only way to be more certain than joining the army. In those days, many teachers and students would wear the school emblem on formal occasions, with red letters on a white background for students and white letters on a red background for teachers. Walking on the street, with some kind of university badge pinned to your chest, will attract many envious eyes. "Knowledge changes fate" and "noble sons from poor families" have been more realized in this generation.

The fierce competition of thousands of troops crossing the single-plank bridge has created a real generation of "proud sons of heaven", and those college students who entered the seventh, seventh, eighth, and seventh and ninth grades were called the "new three classes" by the relevant people. Many people in the "New Third Session" have lost their youth in the "Ten Years Special Period" and cherish the hard-won learning opportunities. "There is a diligent path in the book mountain, and there is no end to the hard work of learning the sea." Their hard work of forgetting to sleep and eat has the ancient style of "chiseling the wall and stealing the light" and "hanging the beam and piercing the strands".

One of Zhan Zhizhan's teachers once said to him: "After you students graduate, most of them will not pursue this major. Therefore, your learning during school is basically the cultivation of your qualities. ”

Some people say that our society is a consumer society, and the meaning of people's existence is to possess the symbolic value of commodities and not care about the use of specific commodities. So, we always consume for the sake of consumption. Some people also say that our society is a landscape society, where everyone gains value and brushes out their own sense of existence in the production and trading of various images, and the whole world has become an accumulation of various images, which can be seen from the endless selfies that appear every day in the WeChat circle of friends. It is also said that we live in a society that is like a prison with a panoramic view, because whether on the street or in an elevator, the visible sparrow-like dense and one-eyed owl-like focused probes are ready to remind us that we have become more transparent than the lens of a camera. In this society, everyone is overly cared for and overprotected, so that while losing oneself, one also loses the right to make mistakes, which makes each of us weak, childish, weak, servile, and even petty.

At the beginning of reform and opening up, there were many opportunities to "let some people get rich first". Most of the students in the "new third class", especially the seventh and seventh grades, have experienced too much, have rich experience, and now have mastered knowledge. Many of them became wealthy businessmen, and most of their first pots of gold can be traced back to the "work-study" when they were in college. And Zhan Zhizhan's bedmate Bi Yuntao is the one who found the first pot of gold. Bi Yuntao is very economically minded, which is definitely related to his genes from a capitalist family. I don't know how he dredged up the school's Youth League Committee, and actually set up a book kiosk "reasonably and legally". On the day of the opening of the kiosk, there was a sea of people within a radius of 50 meters. Especially on the opening day, there were no more harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the books in the kiosk were so cheap that they were endless. But it is unequivocal to say that college students at that time really loved to read and study hard. Saving money every day with a few dollars born from his mouth, it is true that most of them buy books.

When Bi Yuntao was about to open a book kiosk, he mentioned it to Zhan Zhizhan, and Zhan Zhizhan was very puzzled. Bi Yuntao's academic performance is not only in the whole class, but also in the whole school. It is said that only when there is no distraction can we seek knowledge and ask questions. But "condom" is really different, he is so nervous about studying, he still has spare time to work and study, and he is not so poor that he can't open the pot, he is really energetic!

Bi Yuntao explained: "During our university life, we basically learned the natural science knowledge from books. There is little contact with society and little understanding of society. There is a certain narrowness in the ideological realm, which hinders the fission of the knowledge we have learned to a certain extent, and we cannot apply what we have learned, which affects the development of our intellectual potential and makes the knowledge we learn in a rigid state. Through work-study, we can expand our social contacts, combine the theoretical knowledge we have learned with social practice, and be more conducive to the understanding and play of the knowledge we have learned. Better apply what you have learned, enrich your thoughts, and better position yourself. Lay the foundation for entering the society and going to work after graduation, be psychologically prepared, accumulate social experience, and better adapt to the society. In addition, in the work-study program, we can also release and relax the nervous brain that has been studying for a long time, and improve the efficiency of learning. ”

Bi Yuntao is indeed knowledgeable and talented, seeing Zhan Zhizhan's vigorous click, his eyes were speechless, and he smiled again and said: "Old Zhan, I can also increase my income and reduce the financial burden of my parents through work-study. To put it in a high-sounding way, you can realize your self-worth, understand the hardships of parenting, and enhance your gratitude to your parents. ”

Bi Yuntao's words touched Zhan Zhizhan, "Filial piety comes first". It's easy to say, but it's not so easy to do. What is "filial piety"? Some people may say that the ancients didn't have "Twenty-four Filial Piety". To put it in my heart, many people have not achieved the "twenty-four filial piety" of the ancients. At that time, although the students had "bursaries", they could only maintain food and clothing, and when they were shy of money, they had to rely on their parents' subsidies. There are many students who do not understand the hardships of their parents, let alone have a heart of gratitude and gratitude. On the contrary, some poor students complain to their parents because their parents' poverty cannot satisfy their own consumption. Zhan Zhizhan naturally disagrees with this kind of thing, even if he can't do the "Twenty-four Filial Piety" of the ancients, at least he has to understand the hardships of his parents. If your parents resented your parents because they couldn't satisfy their desires, your character would be problematic and you would be damned.

However, Zhan Zhizhan is extremely competitive, and he will never be willing to be dumbfounded by Bi Yuntao's education. He rolled his eyes and said disdainfully, "Cut!" You don't fool me! Even though the kiosk is small, it's also a business, you know? Net and we pulled calves, and when the time came, I didn't have to pay for the hanging eggs, so I had no choice but to pawn my wife and sell my children and compensate Mao Shufen. ”

Mao Shufen is an alumnus of Zhan Zhizhan majoring in economics, the main force of the school's volleyball team, and the beauty of their department. It is Bi Yuntao's girlfriend who relies on getting hot water every day to fool him. Now the two take care of the study booth together, and the classmates privately jokingly call it "Bi Mao Book Pavilion". Mao Shufen is 1.72 meters tall, and if she wears high heels, she is definitely taller than Bi Yuntao. It's really a flower inserted into cow dung, how could she fall in love with Bi Yuntao?

Bi Yuntao is a well-known character in the seventh and ninth grades, and often writes articles and poems in the school magazine and group newspaper.

In addition, Bi Yuntao's love writing is especially unique, and anyone who sees it will talk about it with relish and be surprised. Before meeting Mao Shufen, Bi Yuntao was an out-and-out "playboy", and when he met a pleasing girl in class, he would improvise a love poem and send it over, praising from the other party's hairstyle to shoes, from looking at the teacher's eyes to taking notes. Therefore, later Bi Yuntao got a nickname called "Taotao's love letters are flying all over the sky, and if you are a girl, you have to chase them." ”

Bi Yuntao is a thin boy, how thin is he? He was so thin that it seemed like a gust of wind could blow him away. But Bi Yuntao's temperament is very different from ordinary people, he has a clear body, and he has a bit of a fairy wind and bones. Bi Yuntao is thin, and he likes to wear extremely thin clothes, so he flutters and disappears, and he can't attract attention.

When he first entered the school, Bi Yuntao once gave full play to his specialty of "love letters flying all over the sky", and chased after Yan Ruoxia, the first beauty in the class, "Lilac", whose nickname is Bi Yuntao's masterpiece. Many years later, Zhan Zhizhan still remembered a love poem written by Bi Yuntao to "Lilac": "There is a wind blowing through the window lattice, and the dark incense is fluttering, and the slightly drunk purple color the eyes are called lilacs." Although it does not have the delicate beauty of the rich peony of peony, the core is fragrant and intoxicated with the Songhua River. ”

Until one day, Bi Yuntao found that "Lilac" already belonged to him, and met Mao Shufen again, so he gave up.

Mao Shufen couldn't understand why her panicked heartbeat was always accelerating when she was with Bi Yuntao, but Bi Yuntao's talent and affection made her have infinite reverie. Mao Shufen has never been short of people chasing her, at the beginning, she didn't like Bi Yuntao, and she was even a little annoyed that Bi Yuntao filled her thermos with hot water from time to time. It wasn't until Mao Shufen witnessed Bi Yuntao reciting a poem praising the party with emotion at the school's "July 1st" party that she had some meaning for this "realistic literature" student. Mao Shufen and Bi Yuntao are talented and beautiful, and they are extraordinarily ostentatious. The proportion of girls in their class is very low, the statistical result is 1..4, it can be said that there are more wolves and less meat, and there are no beautiful women. The male classmates in Mao Shufen's class saw that the "class flower" was soaked away by classmates from other departments, and public opinion was in an uproar. In this way, Bi Yuntao can't think of being famous. Seeing that the two of "Bi Mao" "are inseparable from Mao, Mao is inseparable from Bi." "Eat together, study together, work and study together. Entering the pair in pairs, the flowers before the moon made Mao Shufen's classmates jealous, but they were helpless.
