But getting into university is easy. It's not easy to find someone who can take him into the library.
Regarding the person to be found, Feng Yiping has set a few prerequisites based on experience.
First, she should be a girl. This is easy to understand. Guys at university like to be attentive, but that's only for girls. If you're a young guy with no connections, they definitely won't bother. You'd better just stay out of the way.
Second, she shouldn't be too pretty. The reason is related to the first point. Pretty girls in college are spoiled by the boys who pay them compliments, and it's always them who cause trouble for others. You can forget about causing trouble for them!
Furthermore, these girls are bound to attract the attention of many boys with green eyes. Any males within three metres of them are perceived as a threat. It's best to avoid these troubles!
Third, she has to be a cheerful girl. This is easier to understand. A girl like an iceberg, are you sure you can still speak in front of her?
Fourth, this person had better be well-bred. Specifically, when they come to patronise the business, even if it is habitual, they will say things like 'thank you' and 'thank you', or when you are smiling and serving, she can also return a smile as a courtesy.
According to these three conditions set by Feng Yiping, after three days at the University of Finance and Economics, Feng Yiping finally managed to identify an ideal candidate.
So, at noon, the slightly plump girl finally came to buy chestnuts with a yawn. Feng Yiping handed her the bag with a smile on his face. The girl nodded and turned to leave, but Feng Yiping stopped her at this time and said, 'Sister, can I trouble you for something?'
'Oh, what?' She was a little surprised.
Feng Yiping flashed his most satisfied smile. 'Sister, can you take me to your canteen and get some food? We haven't had any lunch yet.'
Feng Zhenchang and the others thought that Feng Yiping really wanted to eat, so they all smiled and looked at the girl.
The schoolgirl was about to leave with the paper bag in her hand when she heard Feng Yiping say that. She was taken aback, but refusing people is also an art, and she was obviously not very skilled at it.
She had visited the small stall pulled by a tricycle a few times in the past few days, so she was not familiar with it – but there was no need to be familiar with them, and they were not strangers either. Besides, it was just a matter of getting food from the canteen, so after a moment of hesitation, she agreed, 'Okay, follow me. The food in the canteen is not very tasty.'
Feng Yiping followed her behind with a lunchbox, 'Haha, that's because we are on different levels. We are only concerned with food and clothing now, so of course you are more demanding.'
'Haha, little brother, you're quite the talker. What grade are you in?'
'I'll be a sophomore when school starts. What about you, sister?'
Feng Yiping had been in the market for so many years that after a short while, he had already found out some information about the female student. Her name was Li Jia, she was from a neighbouring province, she was studying accounting, and she was a sophomore when school started. She went back home for half a month during the summer vacation. Her parents stayed at home to help look after her brother and sister's two children, but she really couldn't stand the noise, so she returned to school early.
Although university is only one level above high school, it really isn't in the same league.
To draw an inappropriate analogy, if high school is equivalent to the small company with just one shopfront that Feng Yiping later opened, then university is equivalent to a wealthy group company with its own building in a prime location.
Since entering the school, I have come so far, but I have not yet reached the cafeteria. There are lawns, rockeries and a small lake along the way, and the environment is really good.
The point is not these things, the point is that there are single men and women in pairs by the small lake, and in this hot summer day, listening to their carefree laughter, it seems that the sky is not so hot anymore. It doesn't matter if it's hot, it just naturally gives rise to a longing, and a concept also becomes clear: what is youth? This is youth, this is youth!
'Hey, hey, hey, look at the silly little brother!' Li Jia reached out and waved it in front of his eyes.
Feng Yiping's face flushed, "No, it's just that it's cool by the lake.'
Not many people stayed at school during the summer vacation, so only the small cafeteria was open. Li Jia took Feng Yiping to the window and peeled chestnuts while watching him order food: spare ribs, braised pork, meatballs, and even the vegetarian dish was a tofu dish. He thought to himself, "Is this kid trying to pretend to be rich in front of me?'
Feng Yiping really didn't think that way. Who asked for cheap food in the canteen? The meat dishes were less than a dollar, even cheaper than those in the small canteen at Liangjiahe Middle School.
You have to understand that this was in 1993, after the Southern Tour speech was delivered. Although consumption grew steadily, investment increased sharply, causing inflation to reach a record 20%. How could you expect to find ribs and meat for a few dollars outside?
So, at this time, university students were still happy, although they were not as good as before 1988, but much better than after 1995. Before 1988, higher education was free, and fees were introduced in 1989, but they were also nominal. For example, Li Jia, who will be a sophomore next semester, will pay just over 300 yuan in tuition fees. And from 1996, university admissions were merged, and tuition fees began to take off. In 1995, it was just a few hundred yuan, but in 1996, it was more than 2,000 yuan, an increase of nearly three times!
And although the fees are now nominal, the various hidden subsidies have never diminished. For example, the prices of the dishes in the canteen are so affordable because of the subsidies.
This meal, including the rice, only costs a little over 3 yuan. Fortunately, he brought two lunch boxes, otherwise it wouldn't have fit.
Li Jia saw that he had finished eating and said, 'You know the way out, right? I'm going back to the dormitory!'
'Wait, sister, sit with me for a while. It's quite embarrassing for me to eat alone.'
'You're not going to take it out to eat with your parents?'
'No, I'll eat first and then make him a copy.'
Li Jia actually wanted to ask him, are you sure your parents won't beat you up for spending so much money?
But looking at the expectation in Feng Yiping's eyes, she was a little embarrassed to refuse. After all, she had brought him in, and there was nothing to do at the dormitory now. So she sat down.
She led Feng Yiping to an empty table and sat down. Feng Yiping took a spoon and was about to start eating when he looked at Li Jia and asked, 'You're not eating lunch?'
'I ate your soy milk and steamed buns for breakfast, so I'm not hungry. I'll just have a few chestnuts.'
Oh, so she's trying to lose weight! Is this the time when girls start to get organized with their weight? Most people don't gain weight for a few years!
If that's the case, then you need to tell her sooner rather than later. You're leaving someone who wants to lose weight in a canteen where everyone else is stuffing themselves, and that's really a sweet torture for her.
It's just that the longer you leave it, the sweeter it gets. It's better to tell her sooner rather than later, but how do you say it? Feng Yiping kept thinking while eating.
