2.1 I am from Chaozhou

Agou is another mascot in our class.

Agou’s name is Wu Yuqing (a funny name). He is the youngest among the boys in our class. Yuqing comes from Caitang Town, Chao'an County, Chaozhou City, Guangdong Province (now Chao'an District), the "hometown of stainless steel products in China". In 2012, the town had 1,580 stainless steel product manufacturers, 128 enterprises above designated size, including 20 enterprises with an annual output value exceeding 100 million yuan, 2 Chinese famous brand products, 2 Chinese well-known trademarks, and 6 Guangdong Province famous brand products. There are 15 famous trademarks in Guangdong Province; the town has 2 national-level high-tech enterprises and 13 provincial-level high-tech enterprises. According to incomplete statistics, stainless steel products in Caitang Town account for more than 60% of the domestic market, and tableware products account for more than 70%. At that time, the gift that Agou brought to Tsinghua University for his roommate was a pile of stainless steel thermos cups.

Yu Qin is the kind of person who is smarter than you and works harder than you. Jinzhong has always implemented a dormitory system. Even if your home is next to the school gate, you have to live on campus at night. Students are only allowed to go home on Saturday afternoons every week, and they must go to school to attend evening self-study before Sunday evening self-study.

I found a work and rest schedule for the later junior brothers and sisters, which is as follows:

Time? Time affairs? Dormitory door status

06:10? Get up Open

06:20? Preparation for closing for morning exercises

07:20? Open for breakfast

07:50? Preparation for closing for first period

13:20 Closes during lunch time

14:20 Opens after lunch break

14:40 Chapter 1 Closing in preparation for the sixth period

17:10 Opening after the eighth period

18:45 Students preparing for late studies? Closed

22:00? End of late studies? Open the door

22:20? Ready to turn off the lights? Close the door?

Over the past twenty years, my routine has basically remained unchanged. The difference is that the current dormitories have air conditioning, private bathrooms, and there are not so many people in each dormitory. We were boys who lived on the 94th floor. The 40 boys lived in four dormitories: 401, 402, 403, and 404. Each dormitory had five iron beds with bunk beds. There was a cement utility rack on the left side of the door. There are two iron beds on one side connected to the utility rack, and three iron beds on the other side. There is a passage more than one meter apart in the middle. There is a fan hanging on the top. Other than that, it is empty. Turn right when you go out, and there is a sink and an unobstructed public bathroom. There are several faucets, which provide cold water all year round. For hot water, you need to go to the boiling room downstairs to fetch water from an insulated hot water bottle and soak it in a plastic bucket. 2 cents per pot of water. In order to save trouble, some students take cold baths all year round. In winter, when it's time to take a shower, the sound of howling ghosts and wolves will constantly be heard in the bathroom.

2.2 Room 404, 94th Floor

Among the ten people in our dormitory, the room leader is Lin Juetao, a talented man who was later admitted to China University of Political Science and Law and now works for the Central Ministries in Beijing. The violent squad leader is also our dormitory roommate. Yes, he went to the First Military Medical University; Lin Bin went to Dongbei University of Finance and Economics and now works in a TV station; Sister Qing and Wang Weiqing went to Guangdong University of Finance and Economics and now works in the Golden Bay Hotel; Guo Yizhong is now the boss of an IT company and a coder , sleeping during the day and working at night, I joked that he didn’t show up until three o’clock in the afternoon, and basically didn’t see guests before three o’clock in the afternoon; there was also an iron man Li Weitao, who later went to Shuangyashan University to major in law, and he was one of the three winners of our gold medal that year. One of the freshmen receiving the 40,000-yuan Keith Scholarship. The other two are Yang Junping, a classmate who was admitted to the Academy of Biological Sciences, and a young girl who later went to Hong Kong to study for a graduate degree in psychology. She is now a regional manager at Prudential, and has obtained COT within four years, making her a true insurance elite. One is Zhou Lehang, who was the top scorer in mathematics that year and majored in computer science. Tie Ren met a girlfriend in college, who was also his later wife. She also won the Keith Scholarship that year, and both of them continued to pursue graduate studies in their majors.

When Iron Man just graduated, he stayed in the student office of the school and later entered the civil service.

There were five of us who played well in high school, and four of them were in our dormitory. The eldest son, Fang Qiuzhong, did not choose anything other than computer science in the college entrance examination. His performance in the college entrance examination was not satisfactory, so he was admitted to Huanong Computer Science. According to his score at the time, it was more than enough to go to Shuangyashan. However, he did not obey the professional adjustment, so he went to Huanong and later stayed at the school. Be a teacher. In terms of age, I am the second oldest. The third child is Cai Zhenhe, my brother who sleeps on the upper bunk. He is tall and handsome. He used to wear casual clothes in college. He wears very fashionable shirts all day long and has a glass of red wine before going to bed. It feels like he is in Jinzhong. Average vacation. He went to the university in Xi'an - Xi'an University of Electronic Science and Technology, which was a university originally affiliated with the military academy and one of the two major universities in China. In 1959, it was listed as one of the 20 key universities in the country. Zhenhe also worked in Beijing after completing his graduate studies at the school. He returned to Shantou to hold a wedding. When I went to attend the wedding, I met his college classmate and wife Xiao Su. When I went to Beijing the year before last, he took his daughter with me when I climbed the Great Wall for the first time. The fourth child is not in the same dormitory. He went to college at Guangdong Medical University and is now an orthopedic surgeon in Dongguan. I often treat him as my family doctor. Agou is the youngest and fifth child. He majored in engineering physics at Tsinghua University.

2.3 Agou can climb the dormitory door

Agou has a skill that no one else has. He can climb the dormitory door, and he can climb very fast. Yu Qing never had to wait for the dormitory to open before going out. The door to the dormitory didn't open until 6:10. He couldn't wait and went out for a walk almost an hour earlier. Until I graduated from high school, I was wondering why he wouldn't be caught by the dormitory supervisor, Uncle Lao Hong? Those who climbed the door to eat dog meat at the bottom of the mountain in the middle of the night were caught, such as the monkeys in Class 5, if I remember correctly. Those who stayed up late after turning off the lights were also caught. We call those students who use flashlights to continue reading and studying in bed after turning off the lights in the dormitory as burning the midnight oil. The old drivers I know include monitor Haibin and Sister Qing from our dormitory.

The dormitory in Jinzhong is very strictly managed at night. After the lights are turned off, a teacher will constantly inspect each dormitory with a flashlight. If he finds someone who stays up late, talks, or does not comply with the regulations, he will scold them, so as not to affect other students in the same dormitory because of individual students. of normal rest. I don't burn the midnight oil, but I was caught once in my senior year of high school and was called to the Political and Education Office for reprimand.

At that time, we no longer lived in the 94th floor. Our dormitory was a mixed dormitory with ten people from five classes. One night not long after I fell asleep, the phone in our dormitory suddenly rang, and it kept ringing. I was sleeping on the lower bunk, so I had no choice but to walk over and pick it up. I answered the phone and called my brother Fang Dongsheng (joke) who was sleeping on the upper bunk. (name) came to pick him up. It was his brother who called. As soon as he came down to answer the phone, he was illuminated by a flashlight from outside. The next day, we were called to his office by Brother Cai.

Brother Cai was the head teacher of Class 2, Grade 3, and the English teacher of our class. At that time, he was also the deputy director of the school’s Political and Education Department. The director was Mr. Wei Chongxing, who is known as “the white knife goes in and the red knife comes out”. "Tank" or "Old Tank". Dongsheng and I stood in front of Brother Cai. I was arrested for the first time and felt very uneasy. Dongsheng standing next to me was much calmer than me. He explained to Brother Cai that the call was from his brother Fang Qiusheng (a nickname), and Brother Cai's serious face softened a lot after hearing this. Qiu Sheng is a senior who is one year older than us, and is also the president of the student union of the school that Brother Cai values ????very much. Haibin was in his class that year. Qiu Sheng was already studying in the Law Department of Shuangyashan University at the time, and was also a chairman-level figure at the school. He later went to work for the provincial government, and then to the central ministries and commissions in Beijing. So Brother Cai let us go after hearing this explanation. Brother Cai later left Jinzhong and became the principal of Qiao Middle School. Not long ago, I saw him on TV setting up the Guangdong Provincial Famous Principals Studio. He is the host of the Guangdong Provincial Famous Principals Studio of Primary and Secondary Schools and a master's tutor at South China Normal University. Tank became the principal of Wei School - Jinzhong South School, and now returns to Jinzhong as party committee secretary. He was also our Chinese teacher in our sophomore year of high school. The year before last, when our class returned to school for the 20th Anniversary Reunion, we invited him to celebrate with us and take a group photo. Twenty years have passed, and many of our classmates have a lot of savings, especially the swimming rings on their bodies, but Tank is still the same Tank he was back then. He often works out and plays basketball, so his figure is compared to what it was twenty years ago. The words are even better than before. Our class teacher, Teacher Zhang, still looks so young. Taking pictures with female classmates, there is no change at all.

I later concluded that the strict management of Jinzhong dormitory is also divided into time periods. The half hour after the lights are turned off is the high-risk period, and after that it is basically safe. Therefore, although Agou violated dormitory regulations when he climbed up the door early, he was never caught. Agou would climb out of the dormitory door at around five o'clock every day, then climb the wall into the classroom to study by himself. After dawn, he would leave the school gate and turn left to run up the mountain. When we all brushed our teeth and walked out of the dormitory door to the playground to prepare for morning exercises, he We have already run around the mountain and are waiting for us at the playground. So we are not surprised at all that Agou won the school running championship in his sophomore year of high school. It was truly deserved. So Agou's second ability is to run fast.

Agou’s third skill is to pounce quickly. When I was in high school, I formed a class football team to play in the school league. Agou was pretty good at basketball, but when it came to football, he was just as bad as me. He had never touched football. But he couldn't control his strong ability to save, so he chose to be a goalkeeper. He started practicing hard in his freshman year of high school. In his sophomore year of high school, he actually became the goalkeeper of the championship team and saved a key goal in the penalty shootout.

2.4 He married a girl

The five went to college in different cities. Yu Qing is in Beijing with his room chief Jue Jue and squad leader Huang Wei. Our other brother Guo Qingping (a nickname) was also in the same class at that time in Beijing. He is regarded as the foreign aid of our five-person team. Yuqing and Qinping and I often visit our respective homes during the winter and summer vacations. The one I visit most often is the basketball court near my home. I still miss the fish floss and black olives made by Yuqing’s mother. After playing ball, it is a very refreshing thing to drink two bowls of white porridge with pork floss and olives.

Qingping's school is the Central University of Finance and Economics, a very good school in the country for finance and economics, but he majored in law. Agou's major is engineering physics, but later he learned that it was actually nuclear technology. He is still studying in this major and is looking for a job after graduation. At first he wanted to go back to Guangdong to work. The jobs he was looking for were in nuclear power plants, nuclear medicine or nuclear research. After hearing this, there was nuclear radiation, and the family was really worried. In the end, Agou chose to stay in Beijing and work as a software testing engineer at Microsoft because their professional computer skills ranked second in Tsinghua University, and the first in computer science. From then on, Agou joined the IT industry.

Yuqing later married their daughter-in-law. Our impression of Tsinghua’s campus beauties and department beauties at that time was really not good. Because the number of girls who can go to Tsinghua University is too small.

When I was in college, I still remember a few classic words that classmate Liu in the dormitory next door told me:

When the girls from Huada turned around, they were intimidated by a row of teaching buildings.

When the Huada girls turned around, the landslide and the ground cracked and the water flowed back.

The Huada girl turned her head three times, worried about the lack of light from the sun and the moon.

The girls from the University of Washington turned around and Halley's Comet hit the earth.

There are also boys who cheat on girls, which is even more outrageous.

When a girl in my class turns around, she scares a cow to death in the field;

When a girl in my class turns around twice, she becomes worried;

A girl in my class turns around three times, All the men jumped off the building together;

The girls in my class turned around every time, and the eunuchs trembled when they saw him;

The girls in my class turned around every time, they don’t like beauties but apes;

The girls in my class turn around every six times, and the water of the Yangtze River flows back;

The girls in my class turn around every time, and they are so scared that a comet hits the earth;

The girls in my class turn around eight times, and there is no need to worry about family planning; < /p>

The girls in my class turn back nine times, and men commit suicide;

The girls in my class turn back ten times, and human development reaches the end;

The girls in my class turn back ten times; A building fell down;

The girls in my class turned around twelve times, and there was no earth in the universe.

Later, Tsinghua University merged with the School of Art, and from then on there were a lot of school beauties to deal with. Later, there was the story of Dong Ge and milk tea.

I had never been to Beijing when I was in college, so I had never seen Yuqing’s flower. Later, after I returned from Australia, I attended their wedding and saw the flower in Yuqing’s heart for the first time. flower. A talented woman from Zhejiang, I am truly honest when I say “there are many beauties in Jiangsu and Zhejiang”. Yuqing's wife's surname is Ye, and she has a very nice name. Xiaoye is more powerful than Agou. Agou only received a master's degree at Tsinghua University, but she went directly to a doctorate and transformed into a female doctor at Tsinghua University.

Agou was later transferred to Microsoft headquarters and worked in Seattle, USA. Xiaoye followed him to the United States after finishing his Ph.D. and getting married. But it is really difficult for nuclear technology majors to find jobs in the United States. This is not a problem for Comrade Xiaoye. She directly studied for a master's degree in management at the University of Washington and found a job in a company founded by the world's richest man. She now works at Amazon, so the female doctor’s learning ability is indeed strong. Since then, the couple has worked in companies founded by former richest man Bill Gates and current richest man Bezos respectively, and they have a lovely son. They occasionally go back to China to visit relatives. When they come, Sister Fang and I treat them to Shantou rice rolls.
