Chapter 436: : Go to military training low-key (1 more)
The doubt in Xia Xiaolan's heart lasted two weeks, but she didn't get an explanation.
No matter which teacher, after the class, a group of people rushed up to solve the confusion. How can Xia Xiaolan dare to ask in public about this drizzle and trivial matter.
Two weeks before the start of semester, the freshmen are familiar with architecture, and there is basically no real professional knowledge. Then she didn't wait for Zhou Cheng's reply, she was only tens of miles away. Where did she send this letter?
Xia Xiaolan didn't straighten things out of the school.
The military training began.
The dormitory boss Yang Yonghong is very happy. Huaqings military training has been reformed this year. The previous years military training has been in the school. This year the school decided to let the freshmen experience the real life in the military camp. The planned military training location is Kongjiazhuang, an artillery training camp on the outskirts of Zhangjiakou, Hebei Province, more than a hundred miles away from Yang Yonghongs hometown... Well, military training is a collective activity, and it is impossible to let Yang Yonghong go back to her hometown. She is just happy. .
"It's National Day after the military training. I heard that the school organized a parade for the 35th anniversary of the National Day. Can our freshmen catch up? We never asked us to rehearse!"
Xia Xiaolan was surprised that Yang Yonghong wanted to join this parade team, one or two thousand people, what's the point of putting together a figure together?
Yang Yonghong looked incredible, "The parade team will pass through Tiananmen Square. Dont you feel that Tiananmen Square? Lets celebrate the country and miss the great leader! People in our village and county can see me on TV, and they will do everything for me. We are proud to walk in front of Tiananmen Square!"
"You got the first place in your county for the college entrance examination, and the people in your village are proud of not being on TV?"
During that time, Xia Xiaolan was very popular. There were interviews from provincial Taiwan and provincial newspapers.
Yang Yonghong asked her in turn: "Does your county have a TV station? That's great, our county has only one radio station, and our village has one TV!"
Xia Xiaolan dared not speak anymore.
She has never paid attention to whether there is a TV station in Anqing County.
It was from the provincial station who interviewed her, so maybe there is really no TV station in Anqing County?
At that time, Zhou Cheng gave foreign exchange coupons, and Li Fengmei didn't want washing machines but wanted to buy TVs. Xia Xiaolan still felt that washing machines were more real. She didn't look forward to TV shows in the 1980s. She didn't even understand Yang Yonghong's excitement, but she knew how sincere people in the 1980s loved the motherland and the great leaders!
From Chen Wangda's tears in Tiananmen Square to Yang Yonghong looking forward to becoming a member of the thousand-person parade in front of Tiananmen Square on National Day, Xia Xiaolan did not resonate so much, but she respected this sincere heart:
"Why don't you ask the head teacher?"
Yang Yonghong shook his head, "Forget it, there must be no new students."
They were all excuses, Yang Yonghong was still embarrassed to ask.
The school notified the departure time of the military training. Everyone began to pack their luggage. The military training clothes were bought when they entered the school. This set of clothes will last for two full weeks, and they need to bring a change of underwear.
Girls are still very particular about these conveniences, soap for washing clothes and soap for bathing.
As for shampoo products, even Xia Xiaolan can only use seagull hair cream plus bee flower conditioner. This was already the top formula in 1984. In addition, there are shampoos, shampoos sold in buckets, and the next best ones are alkaline noodles and baby soap. The ancient methods of shampooing hair like saponified water and plant ash water are not even used by many people in Yang Yonghong's hometown.
The teacher certainly didn't seem to be neglecting her because of a little bit of rumors, and Xia Xiaolan didn't want to really break away from the masses. She came to Huaqing and was not alone.
She decided to take the initiative to lower her standard of living, perhaps this could eliminate the estrangement between herself and other classmates.
According to Su Jings gossip, at the democratic life meeting in the department, some people have already talked about the living habits and style of freshmen. Although they did not name "Xia Xiaolan", they still mentioned that a classmate took a bath twice a day, which was too squeamish. It costs water and money... Xia Xiaolan really wants to scold her mother, who is it who is full and okay, staring at her, otherwise, how can she know that she goes to the bathhouse twice a day?
She looked at the people in the same dormitory and the same class, all of them worked hard to study, she didn't seem to pay attention to this kind of thing!
She didn't want to change her running habit, so Xia Xiaolan decided to move to the evening to save a bath.
Knowing that she was being targeted, Xia Xiaolan suspended her plan to buy a watch.
In the first week of entering the school, when Huaqing School was so big, Xia Xiaolan wanted to buy bicycles. Several people in the dormitory wanted to buy them. Su Jing and Lu Yan rode the bicycles at home, and everyone else planned to buy second-hand bicycles.
"It's cheap, and I'm not afraid of stealing! It was the sophomore senior sister who told me."
When Zhou Limin said this, Xia Xiaolan also felt that the thief made no sense! Everyone buys old cars. Why is she buying a new car? Isn't she dazzling again?
Xia Xiaolan picked around and bought a second-hand bicycle for 50 yuan
A Phoenix or permanent bicycle costs two to three hundred, and an old one costs only 50 yuan. You can imagine what it has been ruined. If you buy it, send it to the repairer for inspection. If you need to change the tire, you can change the tire. To install a car basket under the bridle, in fact, there is only one car wheel at the back that has not been changed. The car repairer is very embarrassed: "I have saved these parts for a long time. If I have enough to assemble a new bicycle, I will accept you. Lets 70 yuan. Dont worry, Im not taking advantage of you. Ill give you the paint, and I promise to give you a brand new car. Its not worse than the bike that just left the factory!"
Repairing bicycles is still a profitable business these years. Repairing the tires is only half a cent. Xia Xiaolan asked her master to change two good tires, which are miscellaneous. The total cost of 70 yuan is not expensive. Bicycles are a rarity, and bicycle parts are not cheap.
The master said that he would paint the bike made by Xia Xiaolan's various parts and refresh it. Xia Xiaolan tried to ride it and was very satisfied with the current bike:
"Master, bother you, you don't need to paint, that's it!"
"I don't charge you paint money..."
"No need, good enough!"
Xia Xiaolan gave the money and rode away.
Paint and refurbishment, what else does she do when she buys an old car, it is better to buy a new car directly.
Xia Xiaolan's move to buy an old car really won the unanimous approval of the dormitory. Yang Yonghong shook the car vigorously, and the parts did not sway. They praised her for the value of the 50 yuan and picked up a big bargain.
Xia Xiaolan seemed to figure it out a bit.
The standard of living doesn't have to be lowered, just like the light, and roughly the same as the people around you, isn't it enough?
Buy second-hand bicycles.
As for Seagull shampoo and conditioner, she specially bought empty bottles without labels, and put all the daily necessities into the bottles.
Including the skin care lotion given by Zhou Cheng during the Chinese New Year.
Only when Xia Xiaolan came to Beijing did she know what dryness means. If she doesn't apply anything on her face after washing her face, the skin on her face will be so dry that it hurts! Saving like Yang Yonghong, he bought clam oil early and rubbed his hands on his face sooner or later.
Until Xia Xiaolan dragged her luggage and squeezed onto the school bus for military training, she didn't wait for Zhou Cheng's reply.
Everyone was very excited when they got on the car. They yearned for life in the barracks regardless of men and women. The boys were even more happy. They went to the artillery training group. Surely they can touch the cannon and fire two cannons against the sky in person?
Xia Xiaolan, who had participated in military training in her previous life, listened silently.
It's naive to think, military training is endless standing, kicking, walking in line... shooting? Give back the cannon? Does not exist! Of course, her military training at the time was all in the 1990s, and now it is 1984. Maybe everyone can really touch a real gun.
"Xiaolan, what do you think the instructor trained for us would look like? Are the flag-raising soldiers of Tiananmen so handsome? It's better to be a young and handsome officer!"
Su Jing leaned her head over.
Xia Xiaolan couldn't answer this question either. The school bus arrangement was divided into classes, and the only five golden flowers in Class 2 of the 84th class finally got together, including the freshman star Ning Xue. Ning Xue and Su Jing were in the same school, and they were both admitted to Huaqing. How could they not know each other? Its a question of unfamiliarity. After hearing Su Jing and Xia Xiaolans gossip, Ning Xue lightly explained: "Soldiers with low qualifications will be assigned to carry out military training. At most, the platoon leader can come. Young is young enough to be an officer above the platoon leader. There won't be any at all."
#####Im still writing a chapter and sending a chapter. Its too late to get together, and Im afraid that it wont happen~ Good afternoon, its 5 more today.
