Rebirth 1979: Hunting wild boars and saving educated youth

After hearing that Chen Fengzhen chose computer, the four of them looked at each other and said nothing more.

After all, this was the first time they met, and they both knew their limits so as not to break the rules by talking too much.

The topic changed with just a slight shift.

Among the four people, Xie Hong spoke first and talked about what had just been reported. Yu Sanhua followed up by talking about university majors. Deng Yongliang said that he didn't know when the military training would be held, and whether they could fire live ammunition?

Chen Feng naturally joined their conversation, and the atmosphere gradually became lively.

Wang Feng and Chen Feng have the same name, but different surnames, and the two of them talk a lot.

Time flies, it is afternoon, and three more people come to the dormitory.

Zhou Xu, wearing a pair of glasses, looks gentle and refined; Luo Zhongli, is not tall, but has a bright smile; the last one is Bao Jianguo, whose name is particularly eye-catching.

As soon as he announced his name, everyone's attention was unconsciously drawn to him.

"Hey, Bao Jianguo, your name is really special!" Xie Hong was the first to speak. "Marx said that violence is the midwife of every old society that gives birth to a new society. Does your name foreshadow some major change?"

Yu Sanhua also laughed and continued, "Haha, political power comes from the barrel of a gun. Building a nation requires violence, there's nothing wrong with that!"

Deng Yongliang blinked and joined the discussion: "What do we rely on to defeat US imperialism and Soviet revisionism these days? Violence is sometimes necessary."

Zhou Xu pushed his glasses up, looking thoughtful. "But then again, every change of dynasty in history has not been accompanied by bloodshed and violence."

Luo Zhongli patted Bao Jianguo on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Jianguo, no matter how the name came about, we are brothers from now on. Your name sounds powerful. If there is any work that requires violence in the future, you have to do it!"

Bao Jianguo was also amused and grinned: "You guys are making fun of my name, right? But you're right, a name is just a code name. The important thing is that we can get together here and we will be brothers from now on!"

Everyone sat in a circle, chatting animatedly.

Chen Feng sat there, not saying much, carefully observing his roommates, with whom he would soon be spending four years. He found that each of them had a story to tell, quite interesting indeed.

Nowadays, regardless of the academic level of those who can get into university, they at least have perseverance.

From the content of their conversation, Chen Feng could feel a strong desire to change the status quo.

Originally, Chen Feng thought he was too old to go to university.

But when he saw his roommates, he realized he was wrong.

Except for Bao Jianguo, everyone else is older than him.

For example, Zhou Xu, a tall, thin, and seemingly gentle man wearing glasses, had two children. He was a sent-down youth and later married a rural girl. After the resumption of the college entrance examination, he was admitted to Ninghai University.

A similar situation occurs with Luo Zhongli and Wang Feng. They are also married, and their wives live in rural areas.

However, the most surprising person was Deng Yongliang.

He was the oldest in the dormitory, already 35. Deng Yongliang had been married and divorced before. After being admitted to Ninghai University, his first act was to divorce his ex-wife.

Finally, the seating arrangements in the dormitory began.

Deng Yongliang was the oldest, so he naturally became the boss.

Next are Zhou Xu, Luo Zhongli and Wang Feng.

Among the unmarried people, Xie Hong was the fifth child, Yu Sanhua was the sixth, and Chen Feng was the seventh. As for Bao Jianguo, he was the youngest and had to be the last, becoming the eighth child.

It was almost time for dinner. Deng Yongliang said with a smile, "We're all roommates. As the boss, how can I not treat you guys to a meal? Let's go and find a good restaurant outside!"

Everyone looked at each other, feeling worried. These days, wallets are as empty as paper, and no one wants to spend money.

Although Deng Yongliang said he would treat you, if they treat you today, shouldn’t you treat them back later?

In the end, it was Zhou Xu who spoke first: "Boss, I appreciate your kindness. The cafeteria is actually quite good. It's affordable and convenient."

Deng Yongliang frowned, unhappy: "How can this be? We have to live together for the next few years. Today is our first meeting, so we have to start it off well. Besides, I'm the boss, and this is my first time treating you. You can't be so rude to me, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the dormitory became quiet instantly and no one dared to refuse.

At this time, Zhou Xu said again: "Boss, you treat us, the drinks are on me, after all, I am the second brother!"

Seeing this, Luo Zhongli also quickly expressed his opinion: "Then I'll go get two braised dishes. I heard that the signature dishes in our Ning University cafeteria are very delicious."

Wang Feng said, "Then once the military training is over, the next meal will be on me."

Deng Yongliang waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, I'm glad to meet you guys! I'll treat you today!"

Just as everyone was arguing fiercely, Chen Feng said slowly, "Everyone, stop arguing. Look at the scene today. The restaurants outside will definitely be packed tonight. We might as well go to the cafeteria and get some food and have a meal together in the dormitory. If you go too late, the food in the cafeteria will be gone!"

Everyone was skeptical, so they went out for a walk and found that it was true, so they rushed back to the cafeteria in a hurry.

After a frantic shopping spree, I finally managed to gather five meat dishes and three vegetable dishes. When I came out, there was very little left in the cafeteria. There were so many new students, and the school hadn't yet recovered from the shock, so the food was clearly not enough.

When they returned to the dormitory, everyone called Chen Feng "the fortune teller". If it weren't for him, they would probably have had only instant noodles tonight.

The dishes were served, the glasses were full of wine, and the conversation started.

As for men, all they talk about are dreams and girls, half and half.

Deng Yongliang and other older educated youth from rural areas all wanted to get a good job after graduation, stay in the city, and never return to the poor mountain villages.

At this point, Deng Yongliang did not hide anything and brought up his divorce story: "Brothers, I know what you think. Some people will definitely say I am Chen Shimei. But I know my own suffering. She is a good woman, and we have no complaints. I originally thought that this would be my life, and I would find a woman who can manage the household. With the resumption of the college entrance examination, my heart is revived."

Zhou Xu and the others nodded as they listened. They could understand this feeling.

Deng Yongliang continued, "When I got the acceptance letter, I knew I couldn't be with her anymore. It's better to suffer a short pain than a long one. I divorced her sooner rather than later. She's still young and can find another partner."

Wang Feng said, "That's quite true. Boss, you have good intentions."

Zhou Xu also nodded: "Fortunately, you don't have children, otherwise you wouldn't be so free and easy."

Deng Yongliang smiled bitterly: "If we have children, it's hard to say. Anyway, the way I am now, I just hope she lives a good life."

When talking about this, Chen Feng noticed Luo Zhongli. He also had a family, but he remained silent. He just listened to others and didn't speak much himself.
