Su Ye goes to school

Su Ye's memory of her first time going to college was already very vague, but this time she experienced what it felt like to be an older child being sent to school.

Not only the old branch secretary but also Teacher He, Zhou Yi, He Meimei and others came to send her to school. What's more exaggerated is that even her students came.

The old party secretary hadn't seen Tiananmen Square in person for most of his life, and he really wanted to go and see it; Teacher He wanted to ship the goods to Beijing, Zhou Yi and He Meimei were going to Jizhou to discuss business and would pass by Beijing; the students wanted to visit top universities before the college entrance examination to motivate themselves.

Everyone had a good reason. Everyone looked at Su Ye with expectation in their eyes. As a considerate teacher, how could she refuse their wishes? Of course she would satisfy them!

After arriving in the capital, the old branch secretary felt like a countryman entering the city for the first time, and was extremely nervous. He gestured over and over again, saying, "It is indeed the imperial city, under the feet of the emperor! It is really magnificent... I saw that the wall is ten meters high!"

Teacher He and his friends went to Hong Kong City once every quarter. Although it was their first time in Beijing, they did not show any fear. You know, it was their first time in Hong Kong City, and their reaction was similar to that of the old branch secretary. They also felt like bumpkins coming to the city for the first time. They looked at the old branch secretary's various nervous expressions and inexplicably understood him.

He Meimei said to the old Party secretary: "You see how lively and prosperous it is. Relax a little. The locals are just like us. They have two eyes and one mouth. There is nothing to worry about! When Xiao Su studies here, he will get used to it after coming here more often."

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "You are the Party Secretary of Shanggou Village. How many cadres came to our village to study before? When Ma Bo saw them, they were not afraid at all. How could you say that to those cadres from Beijing?"

The old Party secretary thought it made sense and gradually relaxed. They were the number one village in China, so as the Party secretary of the village, why should he be so timid

At noon, the group planned to go to a state-owned restaurant for dinner. Su Ye picked a restaurant that looked pretty good. The old branch secretary looked at the grand restaurant and almost couldn't step into it. He kept saying to change to another restaurant.

The restaurant was a century-old brand that had been serving homemade dishes since the Qing Dynasty. It was decorated in a very elegant and classical style. The old Party Secretary thought that a meal in such a grand restaurant must be very expensive. What if he couldn't pay the bill and was left behind to wash dishes? That would be terrible.

But they were all so confident. They all had a "natural" expression on their faces, and looked more like locals than the locals. Secretary Ma was too embarrassed to show his timidity, so he had to muster up his courage and go in.

Although their village was rated as a wealthy village in China in the newspaper, they were still poor. The only change after their lives got better was that the old party secretary used to drink one bowl of porridge, but now he dared to drink two bowls, and he could taste meat every now and then, but his clothes were still new for three years, old for three years, and patched for another three years.

However, he opened the menu and took a look. Five yuan for a dish was not too expensive, and six dishes would cost no more than thirty yuan, which was the old branch secretary's monthly salary. In addition to his monthly salary, he also received a generous dividend at the end of the year. This time when he came to Beijing, his sons secretly gave him some money.

After reading the menu, the old party secretary immediately felt more confident and said proudly, "Yeah, we can afford it. I thought it was so expensive! I'll treat you to this meal."

Considering that there were eight people in their group, the old branch secretary ordered eight dishes at once, including rose roast duck, shredded pork with Beijing sauce, stir-fried lamb with green onions, stir-fried fish fillet, and crystal pork elbow... When ordering the dishes, the waiter couldn't help but remind them to save food.

The old Party secretary waved his hand and said, "Comrade, don't worry. Not a single grain of rice will be left behind! We are farmers and can eat a lot, but we are starving now."

Teacher He smiled and added two more famous local snacks from Beijing. He took out a stack of tickets from his bulging pocket and pulled out a national food coupon for ten kilograms.

"Yes, we have a great appetite. Comrade, please give us two more dishes."

The waiter who collected the food coupons was somewhat skeptical: one meal cost an ordinary worker two months' salary, are rural people so wealthy these days? They were dressed very simply, and their faces showed signs of being exposed to the wind and sun, so they were undoubtedly farmers.

Delicious dishes were served one after another, and everyone ate with their mouths drooling, feeling very satisfied. In the end, the old branch secretary and Teacher He both walked out holding on to the wall.

Everyone accompanied Su Ye to the school to register. Su Ye was admitted to Tsinghua University three years ago, but due to work reasons, she did not officially enroll until this year. She had to start from scratch with the freshmen who entered in 1962. Her former class teacher Su Qinghe has now become the director of the Department of Electronics.

Su Qinghe was very happy to see Su Ye, but Ye couldn't help teasing her. She teased her for "not doing her job properly". Su Ye had been absent from school for three years, and Su Qinghe once thought that she would not come to study.

"Students in your class have already gone to various factories and companies for internships. But Su Ye... Teacher welcomes you to school!"

Su Qinghe was proud of Su Ye from the bottom of his heart. After the newspaper was published, everyone knew that this educated youth who took a leave of absence to go to the countryside was a student of Tsinghua University. Furthermore, it was Su Qinghe who graciously handled the three-year leave of absence for Su Ye, otherwise how could he have achieved these results

During this period, wherever Su Qinghe went, people would mention her as a promising student. Of course, she would not embarrass Su Ye at this time.

As an ordinary citizen, Su Qinghe can feel that this year's relaxed food policy has brought more food to people, and the people's vegetable baskets are richer and more abundant. All of this is the result of the students' hard work. How can we not be proud

After the School of Economics and the School of Marx Socialism learned about this, they announced that they welcome Su Ye to transfer to their majors, openly competing with the School of Electrical Engineering for students. The School of Electrical Engineering was only separated from the School of Physics and Mechanics in the past two years, and is still a younger brother compared to the School of Marx and the School of Economics.

Fortunately, Su Ye directly rejected these invitations, otherwise Su Qinghe would definitely spit on them in front of them.

You want to take advantage of the results right after they come out. How shameless! Su Ye was the top scorer in science that year, with full marks in math, physics and chemistry. Su Qinghe was generous enough to let her go to the countryside, but she could not tolerate the fact that she was snatching away students.

Su Ye smiled and replied, "Teacher, it's okay. I will hurry up and get enough credits."

Su Qinghe didn't take this to heart. She said a few words to encourage Su Ye and personally took her to complete the registration procedures.

On the other side, the Tsinghua University dormitory.

Two students moved Su Ye's luggage to the dormitory, sorted out the housework and cleaned the place. Su Ye's roommates came earlier and had already cleaned up the place with their parents.

They all thought that the two students were Su Ye's family members, and they looked like they were her brothers and sisters. These brothers and sisters were really good at work, they not only took care of Su Ye's housekeeping, but also made the whole dormitory shiny and bright.

A classmate asked casually: "Where is Su Yeren? Are you her brother or sister?"

Su Ye's student wiped the sweat from his forehead and said politely, "No, we are her students. Teacher Su has gone to register?"

Everyone was shocked. It turned out that it was the students who helped her clean the house? The expression on the face of the student's parents gradually became strange. The round-faced girl was stunned and asked: "You mean... Su Ye is your teacher?"

Everyone thought the same thing: why? Let students come? Help her with the work, doesn’t she have any hands or feet herself

This completely refreshed their cognition. They thought that the report of them coming with their parents was exaggerated, but they didn't expect that Su Ye would be so good as to directly summon his own students!

It is really puzzling that people are so lazy.

Liu Gang washed his face and said with a smile, "This little effort is nothing. I am a little worried that Teacher Su will not be able to adapt to school life." He and another girl muttered, "We have to tell Teacher Su later that if she misses the food in our village, she can take the train back to eat during the festival."

The girl nodded. "I'm also worried that she won't be able to get used to the food. Let's send her some more local specialties when the time comes!"

She sighed in her heart. Teacher Su was good in every way, except that she was a little picky and lazy. But she couldn't be blamed. They raised her like this! They all knew that it wasn't that Teacher Su couldn't leave them, but that they couldn't leave Teacher Su. As long as she was around, everyone felt reassured.

Su Ye's roommates couldn't help suffocating when they heard these mumblings.

How could there be such a shameless person!

The general environment is all about how teachers treat students well, how they devote themselves to their work, how they die, how can it be the other way around? Let students help with work, let students worry about everything? It is not easy for everyone to come to the university to study. They all come from all over the world to Beijing. Train tickets are not cheap, and they dare not go home easily.

After Su Ye left the village to go to college, everyone was very uncomfortable. Meetings often ended in failure and difficulties arose. At this time, everyone especially missed the days when Su Ye was here.

The old branch secretary always thought about Su Ye's hard work in school and would always talk about him during every festival.

He Meimei was worried that Su Ye didn't have enough to eat or wear, so she often sent her meat; He teacher sent her unused coupons; Ma, the branch secretary, was worried that she didn't have enough nutrition, so he often sent her eggs; Zhou Yi, the accountant in the village, sent her his salary every month. Not only the village committee cadres cared about Su Ye, but sometimes the villagers would also send her things when they thought of Su Ye.

Everyone was thinking about Su Ye very much.

A month later, Su Ye was already doing well in school. At this time, the village's supplies arrived, and she gradually received fruit juice, soda, bacon, sausage, pickled meat and vegetables, eggs... She received so much that her hands were almost tired.

Su Ye was somewhat amused and helpless, so she had to write a letter back to the countryside, and no one needed to send her anything. She had to go to the post office less often, and her roommates in the dormitory were shocked to the point of numbness. They had gone from originally despising her to going along with her and improving their meals along with her.

At first they thought Su Ye came from a well-off family, but later they discovered that no matter how wealthy the family was, it was impossible for them to withstand such a ordeal. How could they receive food every now and then

Later, they were pleasantly surprised to find that Su Ye was the village chief of the experimental village mentioned in the newspaper. No wonder people kept sending her supplies!

Everyone in the dormitory changed into clothes. Facing the admiring gaze of her idol, she was the one who ensured that everyone had enough food!

If she doesn’t have enough food to eat, who will

Once "Su Ye", a student from the School of Electrical Engineering, got in touch with "Village Chief Su Ye" reported in the newspaper, she quickly became a celebrity at Tsinghua University. Every day, students from the School of Social Sciences and the School of Economics came to her for advice and to learn about new rural economic policies. A teacher from the School of Social Sciences even invited Su Ye to give a class in their college so that students could learn from the experience of Shanggou Village.

This year, the slogan "Learn agriculture from Dazhai and Shanggou" was shouted all over the country to learn the way to common prosperity. Farmers wanted to engrave the spirit of these two villages into their bones.

Whoever can feed them is the one who provides them with food and clothing.

Su Ye soon had a group of followers from the Marx School and the School of Economics, which made the students from the School of Electrical Engineering miserable. While learning electronic technology, they were forced to learn about the new rural economic system.

As a result, their complaints did not last long. Su Ye completed the freshman to junior courses ahead of schedule and passed every course with high scores. She skipped from freshman to senior year, and was no longer their classmate a year later. With her departure, the once bustling classroom became empty again.

The dean of the School of Electrical Engineering personally assigned her to an internship at the semiconductor factory of the Ministry of Electrical Engineering. Students from the School of Economics and the School of Marxism no longer came to the School of Electrical Engineering to attend classes, and the students of the School of Electrical Engineering finally had peace of mind.

They didn't expect that the days of being dominated by Su Ye's terror were not over, they were just beginning -

After Su Ye entered the electrical department for internship, good news kept coming: Su Ye successfully made a triode, breaking the European technology blockade against China, and China's semiconductor industry began to embark on the road of independent exploration. The following summer, Su Ye successfully graduated from Tsinghua University and was selected as an outstanding graduate of Tsinghua University in 1963, becoming the fastest graduating student in the history of Tsinghua University.

She led a cooperative project between Tsinghua University and Beijing Institute of Steel Research, performed well, and developed China's first large-scale computer with her mentor Su Qinghe. This computer was shipped to the northwest and used for complex and precise large-scale calculations.

In the autumn of 1965, Su Ye came to the historically famous No. 8 Nuclear Weapons Research Institute and met Gu Xiangqian.
