Chapter 84: Book fans everywhere
When I got home, I bundled up the new bedding and tied it to the back seat of the bicycle.
Then Li Changhe packed daily necessities such as washbasin, enamel pot, towel, toothpaste and toothbrush into a rope net bag and hung it on the handlebars.
Then I rode towards Peking University.
This time, with the white badge of Peking University pinned on his chest, Li Changhe rode his bike smoothly to the dormitory building.
After parking the bicycle in the corner next to the dormitory building, Li Changhe returned to the dormitory holding the bedding in one hand and the net bag in the other.
At this moment, in addition to Lao Tao and Yi Gang, two more people came into the dormitory, but the atmosphere in the whole dormitory was weird.
At this time, Lao Tao was no longer sitting opposite Li Changhe, but sat on the upper bunk of Li Changhe.
"Changhe is back!"
Seeing Li Changhe coming in, Tao Haisu was the first to greet him.
Li Changhe looked at Lao Tao thoughtfully: "Lao Tao, why are you going to my upper bunk?"
Tao Haisu smiled and said nonchalantly, "It's not that Lao Zhang is old and it's difficult for him to climb up to the bunk, so I swapped with him."
"From now on, we two brothers will sleep on bunk beds!"
"By the way, this is Zhang Wenxiang, the eldest brother in our dormitory, 32 years old."
"That's Kou Kui Pavilion up there!"
"This is Li Changhe!"
"Li Changhe? This name sounds familiar."
Kou Kuige, who was sitting on the upper bunk opposite Lao Tao, frowned when he heard Li Changhe's name, as if he was recalling something.
"Sounds familiar, right? I'll give you a hint!"
Tao Haisu picked up the "Ling Jue Novels Collection" next to his pillow and showed it to Kou Kuige.
Kou Kuige reacted immediately.
"Yes, that's right, the real name of the writer Ling Jue is Li Changhe, is that possible?"
At this time, Kou Kuige looked at Li Changhe in shock.
Li Changhe smiled gently: "Yes, it's me"
Hearing Li Changhe admit his identity, Kou Kuige was stunned, and Zhang Wenxiang, who was on the lower bunk, also looked at Li Changhe in surprise.
I never thought that a writer would emerge from their dormitory.
What Li Changhe didn't expect was...
Kou Kuige jumped off the bed, took a big step to Li Changhe, and held Li Changhe's hand tightly.
"Changhe, I am your loyal reader. I have even written to you."
Li Changhe was a little embarrassed at this time. Kou Kuige actually wrote him a letter?
He really couldn't remember. After all, he had received too many letters and there were still several packages that he hadn't opened.
"Sorry, brother, I received too many letters. I haven't opened many of them yet because I'm preparing for the college entrance examination!"
Li Changhe said to Kou Kuige somewhat helplessly.
"It's okay, it's okay. It's not a big deal anyway."
"Anyway, we're living in the same dormitory now, so I can see him in person every day and I don't have to write letters anymore."
Kou Kuige said with a smile.
There was originally a somewhat unfamiliar atmosphere in the dormitory, but because of Li Changhe's identity as a writer, it suddenly became lively.
"How about this, I'll treat everyone to a meal at noon, just as a gathering for our first meeting in the dormitory."
Li Changhe spoke at this time.
Two book fans suddenly appeared in the same dormitory. It would be unreasonable not to express my gratitude.
"How can you treat me? I'll treat you. After all, you are just students. Unlike me, I don't get paid as usual."
Tao Haisu spoke happily at this time.
Kou Kuige curled his lips and said, "Lao Tao, you are talking as if no one has received a salary. I only make 37 yuan a month."
Tao Haisu burst into laughter when he heard this: "Then you are not as good as me. I only make 44 yuan a month."
Hearing Tao Haisu's words, Li Changhe looked at him in surprise.
"Good fellow, Lao Tao, this must be a cadre salary."
Nowadays, at the local level, a salary of 44 yuan is not considered low, and it is a solid status for a cadre.
"I work for our county's Youth League Committee!"
Tao Haisu said proudly. "Okay, but to be honest, your salary is not as good as mine."
"I'll treat you to this meal!"
Li Changhe said with a smile.
Kou Kuige and Tao Haisu looked at each other at this time, then shook their heads.
"Forget it, we can't compare. Look at this kid, he has a Shanghai watch on his wrist and a bicycle parked downstairs. With our salary, we can't compare to him."
"Well, let's go and beat the local tyrant today and bankrupt him!"
If Tao Haisu were put in later times, he would be a typical social bull, speaking without any taboos and making jokes.
Li Changhe didn't take it seriously either. This was the demeanor that college students of this era should have.
"You guys go first, I won't go!"
At this time, Zhang Wenxiang, the oldest student in the dormitory, shook his head and refused Li Changhe's request to treat him.
Li Changhe glanced at him and nodded: "It's okay, Brother Zhang has something to do first, it's the same next time we get together."
When the others heard Li Changhe say this, they stopped trying to persuade him.
Then, Li Changhe, Tao Haisu, Yi Gang and Kou Kuige walked out.
Just as I reached the stairs, I saw a man coming up carrying a basin or something, and the two people faced each other.
"Haven?"
"Long river?"
Well, I met another acquaintance.
Then the four people in Li Changhe's team became five people.
Haiwen is also in the Department of Political Science and Economics. Although he and Li Changhe are not in the same dormitory, they are in the same class.
After the group left the dormitory building, Yi Gang was the first to speak: "Changhe, shall we go to the school cafeteria to eat?"
The current Peking University does not have as many canteens as in later generations, only four, and the No. 1 Canteen is the closest to the dormitory area and is considered to be right next to it.
At the same time, it is also the designated cafeteria for the Department of Economics.
In other words, the meal tickets and vegetable tickets issued to students in the Department of Economics are only valid in the school’s first canteen and cannot be used in other canteens.
"Why go to the school cafeteria? There are only a limited number of vegetable and meal tickets. I have the same ration as you. What can I use to treat you?"
"Come on, I'll take you to find a good place outside today."
Li Changhe spoke to a few people with a smile, and then led them towards the southwest gate.
Li Changhe and his colleagues’ dormitory building is right next to the wall of Yannan Garden, and outside the wall is Haidian Avenue.
After passing Haidian Avenue is Laohudong Hutong.
"Lao Tao, aren't you also from Haidian? Do you know where Changhe goes?"
Kou Kuige on the side asked Tao Haisu.
Tao Haisu shook his head: "I just came back from northern Shaanxi after being admitted to university. All I know about this area are memories from more than ten years ago. How would I know where he is going?"
"Come to think of it, I first met Chang He a few months ago at this intersection."
After exiting the southwest gate of Yannan Garden and seeing the Haidian Road in his memory, Haiwen said with emotion.
"Haven, tell me in detail, how did you two meet before?"
Tao Haisu asked Haiwen curiously. They were all classmates in Class 2 and were not at all shy now.
"I wanted to come to Peking University, but I couldn't find the specific way at this intersection. It just so happened that Changhe and his girlfriend were riding bicycles here at that time."
"Then I asked for directions, and Changhe showed me the way. He was afraid that I didn't understand and took me directly to the west gate. Later, we talked and found out that his sister and I were both educated youth from the same place, so we became familiar with each other."
"Thanks to Changhe for telling me at that time that the college entrance examination was coming, I was able to review in advance."
Haiwen couldn't help but sigh at this time.
Upon hearing this, a group of people looked at Li Changhe in surprise. This kid knew about the college entrance examination in advance?
"At that time, the Science and Technology Education Association was established, and it was said that the college entrance examination would be resumed, so I mentioned it to Haiwen."
Li Changhe explained with a smile, and everyone suddenly understood.
Afterwards, the five people crossed the road and came to a restaurant outside what was later known as the Sixth Canteen of Peking University.
Changzheng Canteen!
