Chapter 627 North Gate of Huai University

(There is another update in the early morning)

Chen Huai didn't get too early, and he drove to pick Qin Dawei up to Huai Da at ten o'clock.

Restricted by the traditional architectural layout, the main buildings of Huai Da are all facing north, facing Yunlong Mountain to the north, and the main gate is also the north gate at the foot of Yunlong Mountain.

The weather is gloomy and it is about to snow.

Chen Huai thought it was troublesome to change his pass, so he parked his car in the parking lot outside the north gate.

When I got off the car, the bitter cold wind made people shrank their necks. I watched the heat coming out condense into a white mist in front of my nose. I didn’t feel too cold from the car. I felt as cold as an ice mass as an ice mass as a result of the car. Chen Huai rubbed his hands and said with a smile to Qin Dawei: "It's really cold today..."

"The cold current goes south and the wind blows for a night. It's minus five or six degrees below zero, right?" Qin Dawei got up early and didn't care about the weather forecast. He just judged and guessed. He thought that Chen Huai did not have the habit of living in Xucheng for a long time, so he said in detail, "When the wind stops, the temperature will not be able to return. According to this year's trend, another cold current can be cold to about ten degrees below zero. Xucheng has almost no concept of spring flowers. By March and April, the weather is hot, and it may turn from cold to hot in just ten days and half a month, and it will suddenly turn from cold to hot, and enter summer. In comparison, Donghua's climate is much warmer than Xucheng, which is less than 200 kilometers away. There is a crossing of the ridge in the middle, and the climate is just a little worse than that of the old nose..."

Chen Huai smiled and said, "Xucheng and Donghua are not far apart. The weather characteristics are quite different. The impact of the terrain is greater than expected."

In the weather like Xucheng, there is no way to rush the construction period. In addition to wet rain, Donghua's engineering construction is more important. As the Spring Festival approaches, construction workers have a strong desire to go home and begin to leave the construction site and return home.

Moreover, once they return home, many construction workers will stay at home for a long time before they come out during the Spring Festival. Construction companies have weak binding force on construction workers, mainly engaged in casual labor. They do not change construction sites and find work during the New Year. The construction period is not much involved with them.

The construction of Xinpu Port and Xinpu Steel Plants should be delayed as little as possible during the Spring Festival. The work should be started from construction companies to township construction stations and other aspects. Some work should be deployed one by one, but it will be affected more or less.

Chen Huai was thinking about the things on the construction site, and the Spring Festival will be celebrated in less than twenty days.

Chen Huai and Qin Dawei walked towards the north gate. At this time, they also saw students carrying or carrying bags, carrying bags of all sizes. It must be that some departments took the exam early and started winter vacation.

Although the current economic conditions are much better than ten years ago, Huaida rural students still account for the majority. They dress simply and are vigorous, have the arrogance of students from famous schools, and have a yearning for a better future. Chen Huai and Qin Dawei were both very touched by these situations. Once upon a time, they were all part of these people, and they entered society with a yearning for a better future and have been tempered to this day.

I made two calls on the road, but Yang Lin was not in the laboratory and no one was found.

Qin Dawei originally planned to come to see Chen Huai together after he found Yang Lin, but Chen Huai would rather visit Huai Dabai and visit him again, and insisted on coming together.

Yang Lin was studying for a doctorate, and the subsidies issued by the school were not enough to subsidize his family. He was also teaching subjects at school. His family of three was kicked out of his father-in-law's house and temporarily found a dormitory for faculty and staff from the school to settle down.

Walking through the thick forested sidewalk, the faculty and staff dormitories also occupy a piece of land in the southwest corner of the campus.

Unlike the book-flavored courtyard where professors of Huai University lived in as imagined, when you walk into the dormitory of Huai University faculty and staff, you will first hear the croaking and barking of dogs.

Many families of teachers from Huai University set up simple chicken coops and dog sheds in the community yard to raise some native chickens and tiles, which have a bit of the atmosphere of rural resettlement houses; and many green spaces have been opened to grow melons and vegetables.

Chen Huai was naturally familiar with these situations, but Qin Dawei explained the chickens and dogs raised in the yard without any details: "At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Huai Da had just moved the new campus here, and it was surrounded by rural areas. Many young teachers married rural girls from nearby families, so don't look at the courtyard with most of the academicians and many old ladies in the countryside. However, many people were a little scared after experiencing the era of poor supplies, and they were used to carve out vegetables and raise chickens if they had land..."

Chen Huai nodded and said, "We all remember deeply and have not experienced it earlier. However, during the ten years of turmoil, I spent my childhood on the farm. I heard that the farm should not be short of food, but in fact, it is difficult to eat white rice. I ate dumplings during the Spring Festival. I ate for a long time but couldn't stand up..."

Everyone has similar experiences, and Qin Dawei laughed at him, making each other closer together.

Yang Lin temporarily settled his home in the earliest tube building on campus. The red bricks were exposed and there were traces of weathering, and the iron railings in front of the building were also rusty.

It's just past ten:30, and someone is already making a fire in the aisle for noon.

Huai University's school funding mainly comes from three parts: one is the direct allocation of central government funds, the second is the local fiscal allocation, and the third is self-raised. Huai University has a huge gap in local fiscal allocations, and the overall scientific research funding for running schools is tight, so it is difficult to talk about improvement in the accommodation conditions of faculty and staff.

It is said to be a single dormitory. Many young teachers settled in the single dormitory and got married and had children. Looking around, there was a long diaper hanging in the corridor.

Although the food in the canteen of the teacher and the food is relatively cheap, the income of young teachers' families is limited. Most families install a gas stove in two or three households in the aisle or stairwell, and the coal ball stove is used to make fires and cook - this did not make much progress from Chen Huai when he left school.

Seeing Chen Huai's excitement at the messy stairs, Qin Dawei smiled and said, "Now, it's better to sell tea eggs than to build missiles. Everyone in the streets laughed at the uselessness of studying. Knowledge changes destiny now becomes a lie. I am a rural child, and I still have deep feelings about knowledge changing destiny. If I hadn't been famous for Huai, Xu Li would not have liked me. However, the knowledge economy really needs to be deeply rooted in people's hearts, and it may have to wait a few years..."

The young men and women who cook and wash clothes in the corridor looked ordinary, but they could be said to be the current young elites in China. Seeing their lives so poor and shabby, Chen Huai felt quite touched. He remembered that several classmates in his department also stayed at school to work, and had not been in contact for many years, and he didn't know what their current situation was.

Listening to Qin Dawei's feeling for the moment when knowledge is not valuable, Chen Huai smiled and said confidently: "No need to wait a few years. The country is increasing the development of the information industry. These fields are brutally strong and brave, and they cannot make any breakthroughs in the world. The knowledge economy will be the first to exert its power in these fields. In the past, the market was too closed and opened up all of a sudden. Most people were caught off guard. If they have no education, as long as they dare to take risks and do things, most of them have achieved success. In fact, these people are essentially no conflict with the knowledge economy. Think about it, how many farmers and entrepreneurs who can succeed, even those nouveau riche, are really not good at learning? They just don't get the opportunity to learn systematically..."

"Yes," Qin Dawei smiled, "The Foreign Trade Commission has come into contact with many farmers and entrepreneurs. Some people in the agency look down on them, which leads to the mutual despise."

The door of the dormitory at the top of the aisle was locked. Qin Dawei walked over and knocked it a few times but saw no response.

A young male teacher next to them said to them: "Are you here to find Teacher Yang? His child had a high fever at night and went to the hospital early in the morning..."

"Do you know which hospital Teacher Yang went to?" Qin Dawei asked with concern. It was past eleven o'clock when he looked at the watch, and Yang Lin didn't bring the child back, afraid that he was a serious illness.

"I don't know this, I shouldn't go to the school hospital; but Teacher Yang said in the morning that his brother-in-law's child's birthday might go directly to his brother-in-law's house from the hospital." The young teacher said.

Qin Dawei spread his hands to Chen Huai and said, "Why don't you find a place to sit first, I'll find Yang Lin?" Yang Lin was so frustrated for his brother-in-law's wife that he couldn't settle down, so he drove him out of his father-in-law's house. If it were an ordinary person, it would be impossible for him to go back to celebrate his brother-in-law's child's birthday before two days - Qin Dawei didn't know what to say about this, so he regretted that he didn't contact Yang Lin in advance last night.

"It's okay, let's go to his father-in-law's house to check it out..." Chen Huai said unhurriedly. Cheng Yi arrived in Xucheng tomorrow. He forced his sister-in-law to stay in Xucheng and not go back to Donghua. There was no arrangement today.

*********************

Walking back along the original road, there were a lot of people surrounding the north gate, and there were fierce quarrels inside.

Chen Huai didn't know what happened, so he walked over with Qin Dawei and saw through the crowd that the person who was quarreling with the guard inside was not someone else, but Zheng Feng who hadn't seen him for a while.

Zheng Fengzheng pointed at the face of the uniformed guard with a fierce look, shouting loudly with an unhappy face:

"What is your attitude? Other people's cars can enter, why can't our cars enter? Do you know who is in this car? It was your school who invited our Dean He to give a lecture, which delayed the lecture time. Can you bear the responsibility?"

Chen Huai noticed that there were two vehicles: one was a black Buick business car and the other was a silver-gray Mercedes-Benz blocked at the school gate. He heard the students next to him talked about it and knew that there were too many social vehicles coming to the campus to pick up students on holiday. After using up the pass signs, the guard controlled the social vehicles to enter. The two cars happened to be blocked outside. The guard asked them to walk in the parking lot at the door. The others stopped doing it and started arguing.

Chen Huai remembered that Liu Jianguo said he wanted to dig Zheng Feng from the Provincial Economic Institute to Heyuan Securities to work.

Chen Huai didn't recognize the face of the black Buick business car driver in front and the young man sitting in the passenger seat. He thought maybe he was with Zheng Feng, so he looked at the silver-gray Mercedes-Benz behind him and happened to see Xie Chengjiang poking his head out of the car window...

Zheng Feng did not see Chen Huai and Qin Dawei appearing in the crowd watching. He was arrogant and wanted to poke his finger on the faces of the two guards who blocked the door, threatening: "I will give you the phone number now, and you will call you to confirm now. I will not threaten you. If your attitude does not improve, you will not be able to protect your skin when you are careful!"

Chen Huaihan looked up and taught this ignorant Zheng Feng a lesson. Someone came out of the crowd opposite him and shouted at Zheng Feng: "The guard follows the regulations and does not let your car in. What is wrong? You have a phone number, and I also have a phone number from our Huai Daqi. Why don't you call me and ask the guard about what's wrong?"
