1978 Synthetic Writers

Chapter 305 "Da Lang, drink more hot water"

On Sunday, Ren Weidong went to Yenching University with Wu Kelu and Shao Feng from the compound of the New X Society Committee.

Ren Weidong and Wu Kelu came out of the office together and saw Shao Feng pushing a bicycle.

"What are you riding that for?"

Ren Weidong pointed outside the yard and said, "Take my assigned car."

Ren Weidong has a private car, BJ212, which is China's earliest mass-produced car and an older style Jeep.

The car is equipped with an inline four-cylinder gasoline engine, four-wheel drive, a maximum horsepower of 75, a top speed of 120-130 km/h, a 3-speed manual transmission, and a fuel consumption of approximately 14L per kilometers.

When Shao Feng heard that he could take a ride, he excitedly parked the car against the wall and tried to crawl onto the car, but was blocked by Wu Kelu.

"Don't embarrass yourself. Park your car under the shed. There are only a few of us here. It's not like there's no room for you."

Shao Feng had no choice but to push the bicycle back into the bicycle shed, hurried back and sat in the seat next to Wu Kelu.

"Xiao Zhou, go to Yenching University." Ren Weidong instructed the driver.

The driver, Xiao Zhou, immediately started the car and asked, "Deputy Editor-in-Chief, what are you doing at Yenching University today?"

"I listened to the report. It is said that their school and the China Writers Association jointly organized a report. The report seems to be of very high quality."

"The level is very high. It is Yenching University after all."

The car was much faster than the bicycle, and we soon arrived at Yenching University in Haidian.

The driver showed the guard his letter of introduction and work permit, and the car drove into the campus smoothly.

However, driving further ahead was not so smooth. Wu Kelu and Shao Feng clearly felt that there were a lot more people on the Yanda campus today than last time.

"There are no classes today, and the students are either lying in the dormitory or out playing. There are so many people on campus, it's impossible for them to be a large migration during class breaks. I guess they are students from nearby schools who come to Yanda to listen to today's report." Wu Kelu guessed.

As we all know, Yanda and Tsinghua University are separated by just one street. Going south from here, you will find Renmin University and Beijing Foreign Studies University. Going east, you will find Beijing Language and Culture University, China University of Geology, China National Petroleum Corporation, Agricultural University, and Beijing Forestry University. Beijing Film Academy is not there because its campus has not moved here yet, but it is not far away.

In such a geographical location, if something happens in any school, it will quickly spread among the circle and attract students from nearby colleges to join in the fun.

The car slowly moved forward a little bit, and the driver, Xiao Zhou, honked the horn, but the traffic was so congested that the car couldn't move forward.

“These students.”

Ren Weidong glanced at his watch and waved at Xiao Zhou, "Forget it, let's not take the car, let's just walk there. In my opinion, walking is faster than driving."

Several people got off the car. Wu Kelu looked at the crowd around him and pulled a boy over to verify his guess.

"Classmate, which school are you from?"

The boy looked at him warily and said, "Brother, I'm from Yanda University, what's wrong?"

Wu Kelu smiled and waved his hands, "Nothing, I just wonder why there are so many people at Yanda today."

The boy looked at him and asked, "Are you from Yanda University?"

"I'm not a college student, I'm a reporter, and I came to your school to listen to Comrade Jiang Xian's report." Wu Kelu asked again, "Classmate, you are a student of Yanda University, did you listen to Jiang Xian's last report?"

The boy smiled awkwardly: "Reporter, please don't misunderstand me. I am not a student of Yanda University. I am a student of Qinghua University across the street. Like you, I came to Yanda University to listen to Comrade Jiang Xian's report."

Wu Kelu was dumbfounded. "Then why did you say you were a student of Yanda University?"

The boy said straightforwardly: "I just thought you saw me running a red light just now, I can't embarrass our Qinghua."

"This"

Wu Kelu turned around and looked at Shao Feng and Ren Weidong in surprise.

They had heard that Yanda and Tsinghua University were at odds with each other, but they did not expect that students would resolutely confess to the neighboring university even when running a red light, and were unwilling to reveal their true identity.

"Oh, don't make a fuss."

The boy explained calmly, "There's nothing I can do. I feel a little bit cheap if I mention some other schools. My self-esteem is not good. Although Yanda is not that good, they are the only ones in the country besides us. It's natural and necessary to leave this matter to them."

The boy soon realized that what he said was somewhat degrading to his Qinghua School, and he quickly explained that this was a common tactic used by students from both schools.

He also gave an example, saying that students from Peking University and Tsinghua University were very mischievous and often indulged in climbing over the wall in the middle of the night to explore the dark Old Summer Palace next door.

Exploring secret places at night is exciting, and avoiding patrolling security guards is even more exciting, so I never get tired of it.

However, the students were one foot taller than the security guards, so it was inevitable that they would be captured together.

At this time, students from Yan University claimed to be from Qinghua, and students from Qinghua also pretended to be from Yan University.

Finally, the already angry Yuanmingyuan security guards became even angrier:
"Stop pretending!"

"I know you are all from the People's University!"

Of course, the students of both schools are not responsible for this kind of blame-shifting, because even their respected professors gave the same advice to the students who failed the course:
"When you go out, don't ever say that I taught you statistics. If someone asks you about it, just say you're from Yanda University."

Ren Weidong and Wu Kelu found the boy quite interesting and pulled him along to walk a little further.

"Why do you want to listen to such a report?" Ren Weidong asked.

The boy said with great relish: "Master Yan said that the report was very good, and it was about the frontline. Besides, I can meet Jiang Xian in person. I am his loyal reader."

Ren Weidong nodded, and he asked several other students who were passing by. They all said that they came to listen to Jiang Xian’s report, and they all heard that the report was very exciting.

Ren Weidong's curiosity about this report suddenly increased.

If it can receive unanimous praise from students, how wonderful can this report be?

Wu Kelu first went to find the school cadre he had contacted in advance to arrange seats for the three of them.

Accompanied by several cadres, they walked towards the auditorium where the report was to be given.

The closer you get to the auditorium entrance, the more crowded the crowd becomes.

In May in Beijing, the heat of summer begins. Students are almost all wearing colorful Dacron, a material that does not allow sweat to escape. When the hot sun rises at noon and so many people are crowded together, everyone's heads and bodies are covered with sticky sweat.

"The students are so enthusiastic?!" Ren Weidong was surprised when he saw this scene.

What kind of magic does the report “Long Live Understanding” have that makes them so eager to read it?

It was at this time that a commotion broke out at the entrance of the auditorium.

The auditorium could not accommodate so many people. The security guards were worried about accidents, so they stopped the students from entering. Even if they allowed them in, they only allowed students from Yanda University.

Now many students became anxious. A report is not a drama. A drama would be performed several times, but a report is different.

People have only come to make this one report, and you don't let us in. Isn't that bullying us honest people?

"Fuck you, what the hell is Yanda?"

"No one from your school should go to our school to watch movies in the future." "That's right, how can you be like this? We came all the way here to listen to a report, and you treat us like this?"

"A good university has no walls. You are welcome to come to Qinghua to listen to our lectures in the future."

The students were filled with righteous indignation. They were all young men full of vigor and vitality. They were talking to each other, and it seemed as if they were about to tear down the auditorium of Yanda University.

At this time, a school leader came over immediately to maintain order.

“.Classmates, classmates, I didn’t expect that you would be so interested in the report “Long Live Understanding”. The fact that you all came to listen to the report in such hot weather shows that you are all thoughtful and conscious young people.

But please understand us, our auditorium has limited seats and cannot accommodate so many people. Now even the aisles are full, so we can’t put more people in.”

The school leader's words quieted the noisy students for a while, but still failed to quell their resentment.

At this time, a voice said faintly: "Classmates can understand you, but who will understand them?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the students became excited again.

The school leader who was speaking looked at the person who was speaking helplessly.

"Comrade Jiang Xian!"

"What are you doing!"

He didn't understand what was going on. Why did Jiang Xian come to the door and cause such trouble for him?

Jiang Xian came to the door, and leaders such as Chen Huangmei and Ji Xianlin from the reporting group also appeared at the door of the auditorium soon.

Jiang Xian said to Ji Xianlin in a negotiating tone: "Today, so many students came to listen to this lecture. Since our theme is "Long Live Understanding", we must understand each other.

In my opinion, since the auditorium today can't accommodate so many people, why not change the venue of the report to the playground?"

"Change to the playground?"

Ji Xianlin and the teachers at Yanda University thought about it and felt that it was not impossible, but the arrangement of the equipment and the construction of the stage would take a lot of time, and it would definitely not be possible to start as planned in advance.

"We have to postpone the report. How about moving it to the afternoon?" Jiang Xian said.

Both Yan University and the reporting group of the China Writers Association felt that there was no problem.

If it were an ordinary activity, such a decision would be a bit hasty, but the theme of today's report is "Long Live Understanding". If this report is not carried out with this understanding, then the spiritual core of the report will naturally disappear.

After hearing the decision made by the school leaders, the cadres of Yanda University immediately maintained order at the scene, announced that the report would be postponed to the afternoon, and the venue would be moved to the lawn in front of the president's building.

The student who had looked aggrieved just now immediately raised his arms and shouted.

Ren Weidong and his colleagues witnessed the whole scene, but they did not expect that the report would be suddenly postponed to the afternoon.

"Oops! It's over!"

One of the school cadres that Wu Kelu contacted, a middle-aged male teacher, changed his expression at this time.

"What's wrong?" Ren Weidong asked.

The teacher sighed.

With so many students most likely to eat at YNU, the pressure faced by the YNU cafeteria at noon today cannot be underestimated!
After explaining, he left early and had to quickly arrange the lunch supply for today.

Ren Weidong sighed, "I didn't expect that this report 'Long Live Understanding' would be so popular among students."

"The word of mouth is very good." said Wu Kelu.

As one of the audience members of that report, he was moved after listening to it and wanted to share the content of the report with others so that they could listen to it too.

The report "Long Live Understanding" was not carried out in time, but Jiang Xian did not rest. He signed autographs for Yanda students in the auditorium, and all of them were signed with the slogan "Long Live Understanding".

The cadres of Yanda University gave him an aluminum lunch box, which quickly solved the problem of meal.

The area in front of the principal's building was quickly decorated. Compared to the environment inside the auditorium, this place was not only open-air but also had relatively simple conditions. The sound reception was definitely poorer, but the advantage was that it could perfectly accommodate all the students.

Jiang Xian once again worked very hard and gave his second report entitled "Long Live Understanding" with true feelings. The atmosphere on the lawn was just as warm as the last time in the auditorium, and even better.

Thousands of students sometimes burst into tears, sometimes laughed heartily, and sometimes gritted their teeth.

When the report ended, applause and cheers filled the area in front of the principal's building, and the cheers and shouts reached the sky.

The slogan "Long live understanding" became even louder with Jiang Xian's second report.

Compared to last time, today's Yan University students were more prepared, and many students went on stage to give flowers to Jiang Xian.

Many female students opened their arms, as if they were ready to give Jiang Xian a passionate hug filled with revolutionary enthusiasm.

Jiang Xian took a step back. Although others were very affectionate, his expression was even more ferocious than Xiang Zuo's when he was dancing with Guo Biting.

After simply giving her some flowers, the female classmate left reluctantly.

The report was well done and naturally received praise from Ji Xianlin and Chen Huangmei. After a simple cup of tea in the conference room, today's activities ended.

Jiang Xian had been busy at Yanda all day and looked extremely tired, so Chen Huangmei sent a driver to take Jiang Xian home in his car.

"Oh, it's so tiring to do this report. I have to do it twice." After returning home, Jiang Xian exhausted all his strength and threw himself on the bed.

Zhu Lin smiled: "It means the content of your report is good and touching."

After watching the first report of "Long Live Understanding", Zhu Hong couldn't help but call her and told her how their students praised and commended the report and how wonderful Jiang Xian's manuscript was.

Although she did not hear these praises in person, Zhu Lin could still tell how excellent Jiang Xian's report was from her sister's excited tone.

She lovingly made a cup of water for Jiang Xian and brought it to the bedside.

"You, writing novels and giving reports, don't always make yourself so tired."

"Why should I be tired?" Jiang Xian smiled and sat up from the bed.

He still hopes to gain a position in the literary world through "Long Live Understanding".

It is certainly not simple to shout "Long live understanding" with such a purpose, but a gentleman judges by deeds, not by heart.

Since everyone benefits from this, what he did was a good thing.

Zhu Lin gently massaged his head twice.

"Here, drink some hot water."

Jiang Xian took the cup and looked at the hot water in it, frowning.

“This water.”

“Why do you soak so many wolfberries?”
