MTL - Go Back To 1980 and Enjoy It-Chapter 166 The value of Peking University

Chapter 166 The value of Peking University

 Ten o'clock in the morning.

 At the entrance of the County Education Bureau.

 A middle-aged man walked out with an excited face holding a paper pad.

This middle-aged man is none other than Li Hongjun, the head teacher of Class 34 of Songshan High School. Naturally, he appears here to check the students' college entrance examination scores and copy them back to school.

"head teacher!"

As soon as Li Hongjun walked out, he heard a familiar shout. When he looked up, it turned out to be his favorite student Deng Yunheng. He immediately said excitedly: "Deng Yunheng, you are the top scorer in liberal arts in our city this year. Your score is higher than previously estimated." 9 points higher, Peking University, solid!”

Although Deng Yunheng is confident about his college entrance examination results, there are still certain variables before the real scores come out. This is the main reason why his father told his family not to tell anyone about his college entrance examination results for the time being.

Now, after receiving the affirmation from the head teacher, Deng Yunheng finally breathed a sigh of relief and said excitedly: "That's great!"

Deng Shirong was also very excited when he heard this, but he was already in his eighties or nineties mentally. He quickly controlled his emotions and greeted his son's class teacher with a smile: "Hello, Teacher Li, I am Deng Yunheng's father."

Li Hongjun quickly greeted: "Hello, Dad Deng!"

After the two sides exchanged a few polite words, Deng Shirong extended an invitation: "Teacher Li, I have wanted to meet you for a long time, but I have never had a suitable opportunity. It is rare to meet you here. I want to treat you to a meal and thank you very much for your kindness." Yun Heng’s teachings over the past two years.”

Li Hongjun said with a bright face: "Dad Deng is so polite. This is what you should do."

A lot of politeness followed, and finally, under Deng Shirong's warm invitation, Li Hongjun finally agreed to have dinner together.

 …

 Half an hour later.

At a restaurant on Xicheng Road, father and son Deng Shirong and teacher Li Hongjun were eating and chatting.

Deng Shirong asked: "Teacher Li, how many students from Songshan High School are admitted to college this year?"

Li Hongjun swallowed the food in his mouth, with a bright smile on his face: "There are three students admitted to college, and two of them are from our Class 34."

“This proves that Teacher Li, you teach well.”

Deng Shirong praised it, but felt sad in his heart.

Without the variable of his second son, only two of the more than 200 fresh graduates in the high school could be admitted to college, and the admission rate was less than 1%. It is said that the college entrance examination in this era is like thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge. It is really true. That's right.

Of course, because the admission rate is so low, the value of college students in this era cannot be compared to that of later generations.

Even if they are from the same university, future generations of college students will not be able to compare with today.

Deng Yunheng interrupted and asked: "Teacher, is the other one the monitor?"

Li Hongjun smiled and said: "It's him. His score is 12 points higher than expected, and the university is stable."

Deng Yunheng was not surprised when he heard this. The monitor of his class had good academic performance. When he was in the first year of high school, his performance was still worse than that of the monitor. It was only after he started working hard in the second year of high school that his academic performance began to improve by leaps and bounds.

 The three of them chatted while eating. They ate for nearly an hour before the meal ended.

Until Li Hongjun left, Deng Shirong had no intention of inviting him to have a university drink. Although the scores were out now, Peking University could be said to be stable, but he was cautious in doing things. He would not really admit it until he received the admission notice from Peking University. Go have a drink.

Since the date of the banquet cannot be determined, it is naturally difficult to invite the second son’s class teacher.   …

 After inviting Teacher Li to finish the meal, it was already noon.

Deng Shirong and his son finally found the location of the county theater troupe after several inquiries.

 After explaining the purpose of their visit, Deng Shirong and his son met the leader of the troupe.

After greeting each other, Deng Shirong asked: "Director Zhou, I would like to ask, if I want to invite your troupe to perform in the countryside, how much will it cost?"

Captain Zhou smiled and replied: "Comrade, it depends on what kind of play you are performing. If it is a short play that can be performed in one day, then tens of dollars will be enough. If it takes ten and a half days, A long film that takes a month to complete will cost hundreds of dollars.”

Deng Shirong thought for a while and asked: "Does your troupe have a play that can be performed for seven days and seven nights?"

 Leader Zhou nodded and said: "Of course there is. For example, "The Legend of White Snake" meets this requirement."

Deng Shirong asked again: "If I invite your troupe to perform "The Legend of White Snake" in the countryside, how much will it cost?"

 Captain Zhou thought about it in his mind and said, "At least two hundred and ten yuan is needed."

 This price did not surprise Deng Shirong.

This drama is different from a puppet show. Even a large troupe of puppet shows only has ten or eight people, a medium troupe of four to six people, and a small troupe of two people can handle it.

The number of people required for a drama is related to the program being performed. For example, the large-scale drama "Five Horse Patrol" requires more than 30 troupe members to perform. Even a relatively simple drama requires at least seven or eight people to perform. .

For a drama like "The Legend of White Snake", if the actors and behind-the-scenes staff are added together, there must be more than ten people. That many people perform continuously for seven days and seven nights (this continuous performance is just like working, there is a break, and it is not a non-stop performance). Stop), charging more than two hundred yuan is really not expensive.

“Captain Zhou, if you consider the price cheaper, I will guarantee that the members of your troupe will have good food and housing.”

“Comrade, the price is already very cheap...”

 Next, the two parties began to bargain, and finally Deng Shirong cut the price to 180 yuan.

After the price was negotiated, Captain Zhou asked: "Comrade, which commune will the performance be in? What day is the specific time?"

Deng Shirong said: "The location is Naye Village, Bangjie Brigade, Songshan Commune. The specific time is not known yet. I will contact you when it is decided."

Leader Zhou couldn't help but frowned and said: "Comrade, this is not possible. We don't know when the performance will be, so our troupe will have to wait, and we won't be able to take on the work even if we want to."

Deng Shirong thought about it and revealed: "Captain Zhou, the thing is like this. I invited your troupe to perform in our village mainly to celebrate my son. If nothing happens, he should be admitted to Peking University. , but before I received the admission notice, I still felt a little uneasy, so I wanted to wait until the admission notice from Peking University arrived before I informed you to come down and perform. I hope you can understand. "

Hearing this, Captain Zhou was shocked, and his eyes changed when he looked at Deng Shirong and his son.

Even in later generations, getting admitted to Peking University will make everyone look high, let alone in today's valuable era.

After Captain Zhou reacted, his attitude immediately became extremely enthusiastic. He also took the initiative to lower the price from 180 yuan to 100 yuan. He patted his chest and said that their troupe would be ready at all times and would go to the countryside as soon as they were notified. Never delay.

This scene made Deng Shirong sigh with emotion, and he gained a new understanding of the value of Peking University, a top university.
