Past events in Beicheng

Young people will not be sick for too long, and Wang Yao's leave note did not come in handy in the end.But now there is not much difference whether to ask for leave or not. Wang Yao's tutor took those students to do a special project. He came too late and had no foundation in communication, so he could only read the materials by himself.This point is quite similar to Ivan's situation, except that Wang Yao doesn't need to cut classes, he can now stay in the library for a whole day without worry.

The work of teaching assistant has not officially started yet. Belyayev just let Wang Yao familiarize himself with the teaching plan, and he still teaches his mechanical principle class by himself.Wang Yao, who had no class, and Ivan, who was absent from class, basically synchronized their life rhythms, and neither of them felt uncomfortable because they were both very quiet.Torres occasionally came over to talk about some topics in the newspaper. The two would have some arguments, but Wang Yao didn't participate. He just liked to hear Ivan's tone of voice. Ivan should have been born in Le/Ning/Ge/Le. The accent is different from Mo/S/Ko people, with a classic taste.Torres, who seemed to be from the country near Ha/Ba/Ro/F/S/K, once finally stopped talking about the newspaper and about how he and his brother used to go into the woods with a saw to cut a special kind of pine roast.

"There is a special fat in that tree, which burns very hot. We saw the tree into small pieces and brought them back in a wheelbarrow. After we dug the hole, laid the bricks, and roasted the meat marinated with pepper and garlic. When it was cooked, the sky was already dark. It was September, and the sky was full of stars, and I felt like I could touch them with my hands. Sitting by the campfire, eating meat, drinking wine, and chatting, ah! God, there doesn't seem to be a more pleasant time than this."

When Torres was talking about this, Ivan was smiling all the time, but when the topic turned back to the newspaper, his smile disappeared again, and then he maintained his usual indifferent attitude, unhurriedly denying Torres' point of view or agree.

As the final exam approached, Torres came less often. The exams of the Soviet Union/Union are actually very flexible. There are probably a few questions in a class for you to choose, and you can answer whichever question you draw, so in order to prevent yourself from getting zero points , then prepare well.Ivan and Torres are both from the armored company. If they can't get a decent score in the mechanical principle course, they will be laughed at, right?Sometimes Wang Yao glanced at the books on Ivan's desk. In recent days, the book on mechanical principles had overshadowed various combat command theories and was placed on the top. However, judging from his notes, he should be able to test All right?

The weather in January is already very cold, as long as it snows the night before, classmate Iwan has to kick open the door of the dormitory the next day.Wang Yao dawdled for a while today, so he picked up the book in a panic, and was mentally prepared to be urged.

"Hey..." Wang Yao buttoned his gloves while running down the revolving stairs. The hall was quiet. After buttoning the buttons, Wang Yao raised his head and saw Ivan standing outside the door, motionless :"you……"

It seems that someone is visiting today, so early!When Wang Yao walked to the gate, the visitor had already left. Ivan was holding a letter in his hand, and the thick stack of letter paper was full of words.

"Ask for a vacation for me." Ivan rubbed the letter into his pocket.

"Today is the last "Principles of Mechanics" class of this semester!" Wang Yao was a little surprised.

"Please ask for a leave of absence." Ivan's tone didn't change, he turned and walked upstairs.

Wang Yao was silent for a moment, walked out of the dormitory, and closed the iron gate.

Professor Belyayev didn't seem surprised by Ivan's leave. He calmly replied to Wang Yao: "The lesson plans are on the table. After you have done the roll call for me, you should go back to my office to continue reading, but please wait here after class. wait for me."

Wang Yao walked into the classroom, and the noisy students gradually quieted down. Wang Yao started to roll the names, as if he was using these names for reading practice.After Belyayev came to the podium, the sound of flipping books gradually sounded from the audience. Wang Yao returned to the office with the roster, and drew a picture behind the name of Ivan Ivanovich Braginsky. Leave symbol.

After class, Belyayev not only came back by himself, but also brought Torris, who had a sad face.

"Let's go back together." Belyayev glanced at Wang Yao: "It seems that his father wrote to him again, who knows?"

After they left, Belyayev looked at the name on the roster and sighed inadvertently.

"Don't you sweep the snow?" When he walked to the door of the dormitory, Torres saw that the door was still buried in the snow.

"Ah, I'm sorry, it's been Braginski who has been handling it all the time, please wait." Wang Yao wanted to find the shovel that Ivan usually used.

"No, no, let's go and see Ivan first." Torres held Wang Yao.

Wang Yao didn't quite understand the reason for Torris's sad face until he opened the door of the dormitory.

"Ivan!" Torres threw the schoolbag to Wang Yao, and rushed in angrily: "Get up, you're drunk again!"

Ivan might be really drunk, because Wang Yao saw that the bottle of wine in his hand was about to bottom out.The hall on the first floor of the dormitory was very empty, except for a sofa next to the telephone. Ivan was sitting on that old sofa, hanging his head, drinking wine.

"Stop drinking!" Torres went to grab the bottle in his hand.

Ivan, who seemed to be drunk, opened his eyes instantly: "Go away!"

"Why do you bother yourself about these things? Can you solve the problem by getting yourself drunk like this? What's more, what's the problem? Can't you face the problem with a positive attitude?" Torres began to stop ask a question.

"Stop arguing." Ivan's expression was still cold, but he said calmly when he was drunk: "Stop arguing, get out."

"Get out! Comrade Ivan, you told me to get out?!" Torres turned up the volume: "Ah! You do this every time! Comrade Ivan! To be honest, I'm fed up with your temper! I'm out of concern You just came here! You told me to get out! Do you regard me as a friend? Or in your eyes, who is your friend? "

"I have no friends." Ivan emptied the last sip of wine in the bottle: "Bring me another bottle of wine."

Ivan didn't hear what Torres said again. The feeling of dizziness was just what he wanted. He squinted his eyes and carefully read the words on the bottle: Smirnov.

"Torris, who are you trying to deceive? Let's go!" Ivan took the wine bottle handed over by the other party without raising his head: "Why are you still here?! Ah...you are Wang Yao."

Wang Yao handed the unscrewed wine bottle to him: "Torres has already left."

"Torris is gone?" Ivan looked up to confirm: "Close the door quickly, he will always regret it when he goes out, he is still impetuous now, he can't be regarded as a qualified political/political/instructor/guidance/member .Fortunately! Close the door quickly."

Wang Yao stood up and went to close the door. Ivan looked at his new wine bottle, which still said: Smirnov.

"Who would believe that the Soviet Union still has authentic Smirnoff vodka? Who are you lying to?" Ivan took a sip down his throat: "Wang Yao, do you know where you can get authentic Smirnoff vodka?" ?”

Wang Yao sat on the steps and looked at his drunken appearance, shaking his head.

"Yes/America!" Ivan raised the wine bottle above his head: "There is no way, anyone who knows the secret recipe has been killed. Do you know Xie/Er/Gai. Ki/Lo/Fu? No one knows he is Victim, or murderer, this bottle of wine has no way of knowing, because although he is called Smirnoff Vodka, he is indeed a genuine fake. Who should I hate? Hate those who know the secret recipe but die? Hate those with People who fled to the United States with a secret recipe? Or do you hate this bottle of vodka?"

"I took two bottles down, and here's another bottle."

"Yes! It's been cleaned/cleaned twice! Oh my God, I was only 19 years old in [-]! Why should I despair of myself like that rotten old man? Only two years later Do it again? More absolute, more high-pitched, until you want to crush me?? Torres, you have been questioning my belief that I am not firm enough. What have you experienced? Why do you question me?"

"I am Wang Yao, not Torres, he has already left."

"This year is [-]? Do you want to do it again?" Ivan drank his wine and looked up at the ceiling: "What about getting a diploma? It's like the abolition of serfdom/slavery in [-]. You think you're free, but you have no idea where you're going next."

Ivan lowered his hand, and the empty wine bottle fell to the ground and began to spin, matching the resonance of the buzzing in his head.It wasn't until he felt cold fingers smoothing the messy hair on his forehead that he realized that the tears on his face had been wiped away.

"Wang Yao?"

The feeling of dizziness became less intense, and Ivan began to realize what he had just said. He was not sure that he was in a drunk state now. Although he didn't drink often, it was indeed different from the previous few times.

What did you say? "Big/Clear/Wash"? "She/Er/Gay.Kee/Lo/F"

Ivan shut his mouth.

Seeing that he was finally quiet, Wang Yao picked up the wine bottle on the ground, and carried the blanket down from upstairs to help him cover it.After confirming that this person was well taken care of, Wang Yao walked out gently and closed the door.

Ivan didn't sleep soundly, not because of the blanket, not because of the sofa, not for any other reason.When he opened his eyes, Ivan looked at his watch. It was two o'clock in the afternoon, and he began to wonder if he had ever been drunk, unless it was two o'clock in the afternoon the next day!In desperation, Ivan rushed up to the third floor, rushed into the dormitory, and slammed the door of the toilet open.

"Wang Yao!?"

Wang Yao was holding a wrench in his hand: "I'm fixing the heating, do you want to use the toilet?"

Although it was a question, Wang Yao still retreated wisely. Thinking of the "of course" expression on the other party's face just now, Wang Yao almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Are you busy?" Wang Yao asked Ivan who had just come out of the toilet.

"not busy."

"Then please help me." Wang Yao put down the tool in his hand: "There is a radiator pipe that is blocked, and it has been cleared just now. The radiator may have to deflate. This requires your cooperation."

Ivan touched his nose in embarrassment, and obeyed.

"Press here, not the valve inside, but the one above." Wang Yao pointed to the small valve.

"Is there something wrong with the wine you gave me?" Ivan asked after thinking for a long time.

"I took it from your cabinet," Wang Yaoteng pointed to Ivan's cabinet, "but I poured out half of the bottle of wine and filled half of the bottle of water."

puff!Ivan startled him with a spout of bubbly hot water from the valve he had unscrewed!

"I probably poured out most of the second bottle, and accidentally missed it." Wang Yao recalled seriously.

"Then I really have to thank you!" Ivan tightened the valve and stood up abruptly.

"You're welcome," Wang Yao looked at Ivan's angry face with a smile, "This way you won't smell like hospital alcohol. After all, today is your 24th birthday. Braginsky, happy birthday."

Len/Ning/Ge/Le in winter will never let you feel the real light. Wang Yao said that the sun doesn’t rise at all, she just circles around the horizon.She was always so cold, gloomy, and depressing.But from now on, at least the room might grow warm, cozy, and inviting.

"You, you can call me Ivan."

"Happy birthday, Ivan."

After dinner, the two walked back to the dormitory from the cafeteria, with Ivan holding a flashlight in front and Wang Yao following him.

"Sorry, I shouldn't have said those things to you today."

"Why are you apologizing to me?" Wang Yao was a little surprised and Ivan suddenly said.

"I don't deny the new life that the CCP brought to the USSR, at least this land has never been so vibrant. I know what you came here from China to seek, I hope you can forget My words, because there are bad emotions in them, there are incorrect understandings."

"Ivan, why are you afraid of denial and questioning? Although I am about the same age as you, my position is equivalent to your father's generation for our respective motherlands. Yes, we are pioneers, maybe in the In your eyes, greatness is great, but greatness is not necessarily correct. I am ready to be denied and questioned by future generations, so your attitude does not disgust or surprise me. Didn’t M/K/Si say, There is no absolute truth/truth in this world. The great one is not the Communist Party, but the Communist/Communist/Party/people, the people who make up the Communist/Communist/Party, because of people, the political/party can move towards the direction of truth Change, progress, and you and I are such people. The world created by the pioneers is destined to be imperfect. Criticism is not the goal, but it is an indispensable process. So you didn’t shake me, don’t ask me Apologize."

"May I ask you a question?" Ivan stopped in his tracks: "As far as I know, there is not only one political party in China. Why did you choose the Communist Party?"

"Because China/country is a country with dignity, and strong means must be used to regain dignity." Wang Yao looked at Ivan's back: "The political/political/attitude/attitude/attitude of left and right compromise is not appropriate. Given the current international/international/situation/situation, if China cannot regain its dignity, all my efforts will become meaningless."

"Communism is not a belief for you, but a tool?"

"There is more ignorance outside of conscience, and no learning outside of knowledge..."

"What did you say?" Ivan turned around.

"I mean...do you think that a country/country that has survived for 5000 years will not understand what faith is?" Wang Yao took a step forward: "The way to seek faith and the way to seek the dignity of a country are a perfect unity. Yes. The essence of Mark / Ke / Si is liberation / liberation, so I follow him and become his believer. But I don’t think I am humble, I am equal to him, for him, I am the later Or, when he is not enough to liberate/liberate everything, I will question him, deny him, and liberate/liberate him himself."

"That's an interesting statement I've never heard before." Ivan turned off the flashlight.

"A free serf may not know where he should go, but he is free after all, isn't he?" Wang Yao smiled and spread his hands: "Then he has to learn to find his own way."

Does black glow?This is something Ivan Ivanovich Braginsky has never experienced.But on this night, he was able to discover some light.

Back in the dormitory, Ivan took off his coat. He was overjoyed by the warmth of the room: "Don't I have a birthday present?"

"I fixed your heating pipe, this gift is not good enough?" Wang Yao expressed satisfaction with his results.

"Oh, this is your heating pipe too."

"But I fixed your part together."

"In order to thank you, I have to drink to celebrate?"

"Of course, but the bottle you took was also mixed with water by me, and this is the last bottle."

Ivan glanced at the wine bottle cap in embarrassment. The traces of being unscrewed on it showed that Comrade Wang Yao was not lying.

"what are you doing?"

"After the heating is repaired, the bed can be dragged away." Wang Yao studied the structure of these iron beds, but he didn't expect it to be very heavy to lift: "What's wrong?"

"Oh, it's nothing." Ivan was stunned, and reached out to help.

Seeing the layout of the room return to its original position, Ivan wondered if it was an illusion, and felt a little lonely.

The author has something to say: Note: The "Great Purge", also known as the "Suppression/Reaction Movement", began in 1934. The reasons are profound and the process is strange, which is eye-catching.

Note: Smirnoff vodka is the most authentic vodka in Russia/Russia, but because this company made royal wine for Tsarist Russia, the "cleaning" almost destroyed this family business, and now everyone in Russia/Russia can still I bought this brand of vodka, but it is not authentic. The distillery with the authentic formula is opened in the United States.
