My 1979

"Hey, buddy, you don't go to class every day, why are you bothering here with me? I remember you are studying law, right? You have to memorize a lot of headlines, right? Aren't you afraid of failing the class?"

Li He was a little bored by Zha Haisheng. He came to sit in on the physics class every day and kept pestering him, wondering what was going on.

Zha Haisheng raised his neck and said, "That little book is not enough to read. I have finished memorizing it long ago. I decided to learn from Professor Qian Weichang and abandon literature and focus on theory. Physics is not difficult for me to read, and advanced mathematics is not complicated either.

I don’t even know why so many people in your class are scratching their heads and ears. Is it really difficult? "

Li He often wonders why the gap between humans is greater than the gap between humans and dogs!

He doesn't like the feeling of having his IQ crushed, and he's not a woman who likes to play the role of a stupid little girl.

The only psychological comfort is that I have higher emotional intelligence than you!

At the same time, my head hurt, and I felt that I was overdoing it. I said with a smile, "We science students and monks have been staying in the temple for a long time, and we all want to go to the daughter country. I think for your own sake, you should also stay in the liberal arts." Come on, why are you so crazy?"

"I'm here for the ideal. Do you understand the ideal?" Zha Haisheng finished speaking and then said quietly, "Besides, all the girls in the class are older than me."

Li He covered his forehead, not knowing how to continue the conversation, "Look, who told you that liberal arts can't make a country strong? How many people like this do China need to understand Western politics to go global?"

A lot of it is needed, the more the better.

You should study law well, integrate Eastern and Western ideas, combine it with China's reality, and strive to be a Chinese prosecutor or a Chinese prosecutor. When the time comes, you will be able to carry out political affairs in your position, uphold justice, uphold justice, and maintain world peace. is you.

I have never opposed your ideals, I just think your way of realizing your ideals is rather extreme. "

Zha Haisheng was shocked and said arrogantly, "Then I will be the prosecutor. But isn't it the mission of the United Nations to maintain world peace?"

Li He's cold humor was just for the blind man, so he had to continue, "Then you were still envious of those people who went abroad a few days ago? Are you not going to go abroad? If you really go abroad, you will have to make do with it when you come back. Be a professor or a lawyer.”

Zha Haisheng asked doubtfully, "I should study law when I go abroad! It doesn't make any sense."

Li He said implicitly, "Then start from the grassroots level, learn slowly, and strive to be a qualified socialist successor."

Zha Haisheng waved his fist and said firmly, "Graduates must obey the assignment and start from the grassroots level."

Li He breathed a sigh of relief and thought, if you strive for success in school and don't make a fuss, you won't follow your old path. No matter how you are assigned after graduation, you won't end up in a cold yamen like the philosophy teaching and research department.

"You don't write poetry anymore?"

Zha Haisheng said sheepishly, "I think you are right. You can't make money by writing poems, and you can't eat them. My parents want me to support them. I will need money to marry a wife and have children in the future."

He returned to being cool and unrestrained, but he fell into a state of famine.

Li He muttered his guilt in his heart and became anxious, saying, "No, you can't give up your personal hobbies for your ideals.

Wouldn't it be nice to just sort out the priorities?

It's just that I don't have much contact with the people outside the school. Many of them are factory workers. They can't do their jobs well just for a few poems.

And I heard that many of them have tense relationships with their families.

Think about it, a person who is at odds with his own parents, how can he be kind to his friends? "

The meaning is very clear. How can you, a college student, work with a bunch of workers all day long?

"It's just their parents who don't understand them." After Zha Haisheng finished speaking, he remained silent for a moment and said, "Okay, but I will listen to you and won't deal with them anymore."

Li He still likes to read newspaper columns every day and pays attention to news about the south. When the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone was established, Zhuhai, Shantou, and Xiamen Special Economic Zones were also approved.

People from all over the country flock to Shenzhen. No matter whether you have a household registration or not, whether you are in the black category or not, no one will discriminate against you. No one asks you where you are from. No matter what you have done or what academic diploma you have, it all depends on whether you can do it and whether you have the ability.

Li He looked at the sky getting gloomier and the north wind getting colder and biting, and could only lament that time was about to turn to 1981 again inadvertently.

As soon as Li He entered the cafeteria, he was stopped by He Fang, "Xiao Lizi, tomorrow is New Year's Day. You can't mess around and buy wine this year. You can think of a show by yourself."

"I know." Li He nodded, as if he remembered something again, "Is Zhao Qing in love? I saw him talking and laughing with a man at the door of the library the day before yesterday."

Li He had a great impression of this girl whom he had worked with in the maintenance room, and he also taught her maintenance skills step by step.

He Fang glanced sideways at Li He and said, "Xiao Lizi, you can't eat from the bowl and look at what's in the pot, right? Even people on this earth can't agree."

Li He also knew that He Fang was joking, so he had no choice but to shake his head and said, "What's going on with that man? Not every man is as down-to-earth as Zhao Yongqi. He always calls me the eldest child when meeting people."

Li He might not have remembered many of the plots in his memory if he hadn't encountered the scene.

I just remember something that happened when I was about to graduate. The man Zhao Qing was looking for had a wife and children in the countryside. The wife got the news of the man's change of heart from somewhere, and brought her family with her to Beijing. There was a big fuss at that time. So shameless.

In the 1980s, it was very common to abandon wives and children. Some educated youths were forced to start a family in the countryside, have a wife and children, and later returned to the city. In order to get rid of the past, they divorced and remarried.

Some people go to college and go to the city, yearning for free love, and for love, they become Chen Shimei.

Who can say clearly what is right or wrong about marriage and love in a special era? Li He will not accuse anyone from the moral high ground.

He Fang was surprised and said, "What do you mean, do people have wives and children in the countryside? That's not possible. Zhao Qing should find out clearly."

Li He shook his head and said, "I'm just suspicious. He looks like a very mature person, and he's so coaxing. He doesn't look like a novice. Instead, he looks like a veteran of flowers. Just keep an eye on him."

You can check which school you go to. Don’t the party committees and youth league committees of each school often meet together? You can check the archives. "

He Fang smiled maliciously, "Why do you sound so like you? A veteran of flowers who can coax people?"

Of course, He Fang would not turn a deaf ear to it. Zhao Qing had been a great help since she and Zhao Yongqi did maintenance work alone. After spending so much time together, they had already become like sisters.

It is the last afternoon of 1980. The snowflakes come as expected, they arrive gracefully.

In spring and summer, there should be flowers blooming in the flower beds, but now it is winter, and there are only some dead branches and leaves left in the flower beds. White plastic bags fluttering in the wind hang from these thorny dead branches, like spiritual flags.

The New Year's Day party still doesn't have much new ideas, it's just for fun.

Li He opened his eyes wide and pretended to watch seriously. He didn't know where he was swimming when he suddenly heard a burst of cheers.

When Li He came back to his senses, a magician came up from the class. It couldn't be simpler: just stuff a few matches into the back of a matchbox, but the front is empty. Show the front to the audience first to prove it. There were no matches inside, so he turned the matchbox over to show others when no one was paying attention, proving that he had conjured a match.

But it still drew a lot of applause and cheers.

It was Li He's turn to be pushed to the stage by everyone's amusement, but Li He was helpless and sang a song that would be ruined in later generations.

Dear friends, let's meet

Send them to the crematorium and burn them all into ashes. You are in a pile, I am in a pile, and no one knows anyone.

All sent to the farm to be used as fertilizer

Ah~ dear friends, who of us will burn to ashes first?

Burn you first, then me. Anyway, they will all be ashes of human bones.

The fun lyrics and humorous tune made the whole class laugh so hard that everyone started singing it.

After the party, Li He didn't go back to the dormitory. He just leaned against the pillar in the playground and didn't care about the cold wind blowing into his neck. He smoked a cigarette and waited for 1981 to come quietly.
