So Su Ye just watched as Gu Xiangqian took out a set of sheets from the package, spread them out on the ground and went to sleep.
Su Ye lay on the bed with his head propped up, looking at Gu Xiangqian in confusion, "Won't it be... okay for you to do this?"
Gu Xiangqian covered himself with the quilt, closed his eyes and said, "No, that's how people sleep outside. You go ahead and sleep."
Su Ye couldn't help but complain, after losing his memory he turned into a chaste and virtuous man, does that mean I have to chase him again
Forget it, forget it. She covered herself with the quilt. It would be cooler and more comfortable to sleep alone in the big bed.
…
The next day.
Early in the morning, Su Ye taught Gu Xiangqian how to use food coupons and meat coupons. She opened the cabinet containing the food coupons and coupons and took out two coupons.
"Now you need to use your food coupons and food books to buy food. You will not go home at noon at school. You will have to go to the canteen to eat your own lunch. Here, the tickets at home are in the cabinet."
She gave Gu Xiangqian five taels of meat coupons and one jin of grain coupons.
Gu Xiangqian had two kilograms of pork and half a kilogram of eggs in his monthly quota to replenish his energy, so he shouldn't have been so extravagant. But Su Ye was very generous in giving him money because he had just recovered from a serious illness.
Gu Xiangqian held the ticket, lowered his head and looked at Su Ye who was only at his shoulder, and curled his lips slightly, "I know."
After Su Ye finished his bone soup noodles, he went to school.
When she walked into the classroom, she saw Qian Xiaohe and Yang Xue huddled together. Everyone's desks were put together, with many electronic components on them, including motors, propellers, and batteries. Everyone gathered together with great interest, looking at them intently.
Yang Xue connected the wires, and the plastic propeller began to spin, blowing out gusts of breeze. Everyone's eyes sparkled with surprise and excitement.
"Wow—that's great!"
"Only the teacher's office has an electric fan! Monitor, please install one in our classroom, so we don't have to worry about getting a heat stroke in the hottest days."
Electrical appliances are very expensive these days, so students naturally cannot afford to install them in their classrooms. However, since they followed Su Ye and came into contact with many old electrical appliances, the mysterious and expensive veil of electrical appliances has been removed.
No one felt that they couldn't afford electrical appliances, and even students from well-off families already had a watch. Now that electric fans had been invented, they wanted one right away.
Yang Xue scolded with a smile: "Go away, where do we have the money to buy batteries? If you feel hot, go wash your face with a basin of water."
Su Ye couldn't help but smile when she saw this scene. She clapped her hands and said, "Students, it's time for class. Go back to your seats."
When Qian Xiaohe saw Su Ye, she immediately picked up the radio at her feet and ran over to him, "Teacher, it's been repaired. Can you move it to your office?"
Students from the entire grade developed a strong interest in learning because of the "Maintenance Team" and would gather together after class to explore scientific knowledge in mathematics, physics and chemistry.
But now the enthusiasm is too high, and there is a tendency to go too far. Since Su Ye received the government subsidy fund, she has stopped the group of junior high school students from tinkering with watches and radios since May.
After the bell rings, there is a class meeting.
Su Ye said seriously in class: "Students, everyone should focus on their studies this month. Those who need to take the high school entrance exam should take it, and those who want to go to a technical secondary school should go to a technical secondary school. This is what we should focus on in the next two months. Don't lose sight of the big picture for the small—"
She coughed lightly and said seriously, "You should look far ahead and see more important things. When you enter university and learn more professional knowledge, you will find that watches, radios, and electric fans are just child's play. The teacher does not want you to be a repairman for the rest of your life.
If possible, the teacher hopes that you can build airplanes, rockets, build bridges, repair roads, and make machine tools... This is the kind of talent that our country lacks.”
Before Su Ye finished her words, pairs of eyes like black grapes stared at her. To build airplanes, rockets, and bridges... each of these sounded incredible.
The classroom was filled with noise, and a voice broke the silence: "Can you do this? Teacher Su is kidding you."
Su Ye asked back: "Why not?"
She analyzed slowly, "You are studying in the best middle school in the city. If you work hard, you can get into the best high school, and in the future you can go to the best university and become a graduate of a key university. Then ask yourself, isn't it enough? In fact, you have more opportunities than other children just to be able to sit here."
"Now the government provides free education and living allowances for everyone. You should seize the opportunity. All of us in the class should strive to get into high school and go all the way to college. Teacher Su hopes that you will not go to work right after graduating from junior high school. This year, everyone should apply for college and no one should be left behind."
The students were very happy to hear this. They had never dared to think about such a distant future before, but Su Ye described such a beautiful prospect for them. Will they all be admitted to high school or technical secondary school
This is such an incredible thing that it makes people dare to imagine. The airplanes, rockets, bridges, roads, machine tools she mentioned... each one sounds full of fantasy.
Qian Xiaohe originally wanted to apply for the best technical secondary school in the city, but after listening to Su Ye's words, she changed her mind and decided to go to high school and take the college entrance examination. She didn't want to be a mechanic, she wanted to build airplanes.
A boy asked: "Did Teacher Su also graduate from university?"
Su Ye shook his head. "The teacher only graduated from elementary school."
This sentence shocked everyone. Everyone looked at Su Ye with admiration in their eyes. How could Teacher Su be so amazing when he only graduated from elementary school? Then wouldn't a real college student be even more amazing
If Su Ye's level had not been high and he had already convinced them thoroughly, his words would have been discounted. They firmly believed that what Teacher Su said was true. If they stretched out their hands and worked a little harder, they could get into high school and build airplanes and rockets when they grew up.
Su Ye continued, "Teacher Su is currently taking high school courses and will take the exam with you this year. You will prepare for the middle school entrance exam, while the teacher will prepare for the college entrance exam."
She said with a smile: "Students, don't lose to the teacher!"
The students answered one after another: “That’s for sure.”
"We have to do better than our teachers!"
"Focus on yourself for these two months. We will go to high school together at No. 1 Middle School!" Yang Xue stood up and shouted firmly.
There are many boys and girls in the class who don't like studying and only want to graduate quickly to work in factories. Over the past half semester, they have been exposed to scientific knowledge with Su Ye and have felt the dazzling light of the scientific crown. They have earned money with their own hands and have also experienced the feeling of finding their dropped out of school companions.
Now they also want to listen to Su Ye, go to the university to see how airplanes and rockets are made, and become the talents the country needs!
This belief is like a seed planted in their hearts, waiting to be watered with sweat and hard work so that it can take root and sprout.
…
After class, Su Ye returned to the office.
As soon as he returned to the office, he ran into Mr. Lu, the physics teacher. He was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He turned around and looked for Zhou Yi: "Mr. Zhou, please teach me a class! I have something urgent to do at home and I have to go back right away."
Zhou Yi glanced at the class schedule and said, "The next period in your class happens to be my class. I am busy. Teacher Lu, please find someone else."
Teacher Lu asked everyone for a long time but couldn't find a suitable teacher. There were not many teachers in the high school department, and everyone's schedule was full, so no one could spare the time to substitute for him.
Su Ye stopped Teacher Lu and asked with a squinting look: "Teacher Lu, what do you think of me?"
After more than a month, Su Ye's 40 kilograms of meat coupons were visibly reduced. The students in the junior high school had been "exploited" by Su Ye, and the growth rate of grain was becoming increasingly slow.
Su Ye wanted to go to the high school department to improve her life, but she could only help with homework and had been struggling to find opportunities. Isn't this opportunity coming to her
The teacher immediately said, "Xiao Su, are you capable? You can teach middle school students, but this is a high school class!"
Su Ye said seriously: "Why not? I'm taking high school courses recently, and it's still fresh and hot to learn and apply! If you don't want to help, then I'll go and correct the homework..."
Teacher Lu was of course very happy about it, and he pulled Su Ye aside, "Okay, okay, Teacher Su, help me take a few classes, and I will deduct your salary later."
Su Ye's face was full of regret, and he said, "No need, it's just a small favor. We are all in the same boat and should help each other."
She doesn't care about a few dollars; her ambition is to conquer the stars and the sea.
Su Ye's words moved Teacher Lu so much that he packed up his things with tears in his eyes and left the office quickly.
Zhou Yi, the class teacher, took out a form from the drawer and handed it to Su Ye. "The seniors are going to take the graduation exam. Su Ye, you should take the time to prepare when you have time. If you don't pass this time, you will have to wait until next year to get your diploma. And... are you going to take the college entrance exam?"
Two forms fell down, Su Ye took them and quickly filled in his name, "Of course, I will participate."
The college entrance examination in those days was somewhat different from that in later generations. Because of the lag in information and the availability of computer systems, candidates had to fill in their preferred schools first, and after the college entrance examination results were announced, universities would admit students based on their scores.
Su Ye filled in "Beijing Tsinghua University" in the pre-registration form, and her major was electronic engineering. She wanted to go back to her old profession and apply for the computer department, but China hadn't even built its first computer yet, so she had no choice but to apply for electronic engineering.
Originally everyone thought that Su Ye was just trying to get her academic qualifications, but no one expected that she was actually planning to take the college entrance examination
Liu Qiu and Fang Zhou glanced at Su Ye quickly, and Fang Zhou even stood up and leaned over to look at the form Su Ye had filled out.
Zhou Yi's expression was calm, and he put away the form without saying anything. But Fang Zhou was stunned.
Tsinghua University is one of the best key universities in China. Fang Zhou is still a technical secondary school graduate. The academic qualifications of a technical secondary school are equivalent to those of a high school. Due to the practicality of technical secondary schools, technical secondary school graduates may even secretly look down on high school graduates.
If Su Ye went to college, the situation would be completely different. She would have been ahead of them in no time. In this era, college students are as rare as gold. Mei Mei and Zhou Yi earn more than 20 yuan more than ordinary teachers because of their high academic qualifications.
Twenty yuan a month is equivalent to saving up for two more watches and a bicycle in a year.
The teacher gave a thumbs up and said, "Xiao Su, you are ambitious. I never thought you would be so motivated. If you really pass the exam, the principal will definitely keep your position for you. You should finish college and come back to work."
The other teachers suddenly laughed, and thought to themselves in tacit agreement: If he really gets into college, he might not come back to this small place to teach. College students are guaranteed to have jobs.
Su Ye smiled but didn't respond. She looked at Teacher Lu's textbook and went to the high school department for class after the bell rang.
