Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 344 Interview with Foreign Guests
Xu Qing and the students in the class who had not yet fully met were all shocked.

For a moment I was stunned.

He was obviously in college, but the scene in front of him was like two martial arts sects competing for disciples.

And this is really the two great sects in the school, Xinbei Commune and Jinggangshan.

Xinbei is led by the Lafayette of the school's 'G Committee', with great momentum and style.

Ma Jiefang and Shazhu stood beside Xu Qing, feeling a little dazed. They looked at the two groups with unspeakable surprise on their faces.

"Brother Qingzi, what should I do?"

Ma Jiefang asked Xu Qing quietly and cautiously.

Xu Qing looked at the two groups with an expressionless face and remained calm.

But he was thinking secretly in his heart: "These are all bullshit and snake spirits, what kind of moth are they doing."

I just don't know much about the situation in the school. After all, I have just reported here, so I can only wait and see what happens.

Yan Guohao on the side, his dark face full of seriousness and confusion, seemed to be confused by this inexplicable farce, which had once carried a gun to the battlefield and fought bravely to kill the enemy.

As for the youngest Ye Aimin, he was even more frightened. He huddled up and hid behind Yan Guohao and Liu Shenghai, his legs and stomach trembling.

The other party saw that the visitor was not friendly, and he was not easy to provoke, so he was naturally timid.

Fortunately, one person from each group stood on the podium and gave an impassioned speech before leaving in a hurry.

It came suddenly and left in a hurry.

All the 32 new students, including Xu Qing, became suspicious.

Fortunately, it ended quickly, so no one took it to heart.

But I was really shocked!
Xu Qing, Ma Jiefang, and Sha Zhu followed Yan Guohao. After finishing their studies every day, they ran to the playground to goose.

On the spacious playground, there are quite a few new students practicing goose step, men and women, a group of people, all with serious faces.

People from the workers' propaganda team and the military propaganda team stood aside to guide.

These days, the school implements a military-like organizational system, organized into classes, platoons, and companies.

The squad leader is a student. Yan Guohao used to be the platoon leader of the army, and he was the oldest among all the people in the class, so he shouldered this responsibility.

The title of deputy monitor fell on Xu Qing's head.

It's not that Xu Qing wants to be one, in fact, he doesn't want to be one at all.

But there is no way, the young female students in the class unanimously elected, even Xu Qing couldn't refuse.

Because they thought that Xu Qingchang was handsome and eloquent, especially when he was the section chief of the Red Star Steel Rolling Plant, he had to be the position.

In this way, Xu Qing became the deputy squad leader, and Yan Guohao became the leader.

One was a section chief and the other was a platoon leader.

This makes those female students feel quite proud of their class.

The platoon leader in the school is served by a teacher, and the company commander is a person from the worker propaganda team or the military propaganda team.

On National Day, at around three o'clock in the morning, Xu Qing was wearing a blue overalls and a white shirt. After washing his face and brushing his teeth, he lined up neatly with Ma Jiefang, Sha Zhu, Yan Guohao, Ye Aimin, Liu Shenghai and Wang Yingsheng. , left the dormitory, and under the leadership of Yan Guohao, went to get two pieces of sausage, an apple, and two pieces of bread. Then, under the dark night, under the stars and moon, he got into a truck arranged by the school and headed east of Chang'an Street.

Ma Jiefang squatted between Xu Qing and Shazhu, leaning against the cold side of the truck, with sausage in his left hand and bread in his right.

The car moved forward steadily. In the middle of the night, no one spoke. Ma Jiefang had eaten and felt sleepy. He tilted his head, leaned on Xu Qing's shoulder, and fell asleep.

Sha Zhu was just like Xu Qing, not sleepy at all, even his eyes were shining brightly, and he was full of energy.

He had never had such a strange experience before. He was indescribably excited and turned his head to look left and right.

It was just pitch dark and the car was full of gay men. After looking around, Silly Zhu lost interest and took a nap.

The female students were all on another truck.

After an unknown amount of time, the car stopped, Xu Qing woke up Jiefang and Sha Zhu, got out of the car with everyone, and stood in line at the side of the car waiting for orders.

The sky is getting brighter and dawn can already be seen in the east, but the National Day ceremony has not yet begun.

Xu Qing continued to wait patiently until after ten o'clock in the morning. After eating the food delivered at midnight, he took a short rest when he heard a message from the front saying that he should hurry up and get on the float and set off in five minutes.

While arranging his clothes, Xu Qing touched Silly Zhu with his arm, and said:
"Brother Silly Zhu, eat quickly."

Silly Zhu was eating bread for the first time. He was a little reluctant to part with it. He was slowly pondering the taste. He hadn't finished eating one piece. Hearing Xu Qing's words, he hurriedly stuffed it into his mouth, swallowed it wholeheartedly, and carefully put the other piece in. Pants pocket, ready to eat when back to school.

Silly Zhu patted off the bread crumbs in his hands, quickly smoothed out the wrinkles on the clothes, and asked Xu Qing to tidy up the collar.

When I see a great leader later, I naturally have to show my best side.

When it was Xu Qing's turn to represent workers, peasants, and soldiers as they walked across Tiananmen Square, a loud song "Song of Workers, Peasants, and Soldiers" came from the loudspeaker.

". Facing the bright sun,
Carrying the hopes of the party and the people,
We, workers, peasants and soldiers students,
Youth is like fire, will is like steel"

The great leader waved from the tower, and the entire phalanx suddenly became excited and sang loudly along with the song from the loudspeaker.

Tens of thousands of people stood on the street, cheering one after another, and the sea of ​​people was really like a sea.

When we returned to school in the afternoon, everyone's throats were hoarse.

A few days after Xu Qing attended the National Day, he received the task of welcoming foreign guests.

As a new student majoring in journalism, he was temporarily appointed. In addition to welcoming foreign guests, he also acted as a student representative to interview the foreign guests for a few questions.

Who makes Xu Qing have a better image, and stands out among the male comrades in the class.

In addition to his extraordinary appearance, his words and deeds are very polite. In addition, Ma Jiefang, Yan Guohao and others, as well as the female students in the class, supported Xu Qing.

Some boys who originally wanted to compete for this opportunity could only stay away.

Of course, the strength of those boys should not be underestimated.

Wei Baohua came from a high-ranking family, and his education level was in the class. He also had a high school education comparable to Xu Qing and Ma Jiefang, but he was too machismo and liked to be brave.

Therefore, without support, we have to step aside.

Zhang Yue, who graduated from junior high school, came from the countryside and was the captain of the production team in his village. Because of his outstanding performance, he was recommended to the university by his local commune.

But his cultural foundation is weak, and no one is willing to choose him despite his arguments.

In any case, it is to interview foreign guests, how can there be mistakes.

What's more, the school also attaches great importance to this matter, so it is natural to choose Xu Qing, who is excellent in all aspects.

However, the school also considered Yan Guohao, but thought that Yan Guohao was too old and not suitable for this task, so he finally focused on Xu Qing.

In addition, the female representative is a girl from the senior grade who is pretty and has an outstanding image.

Also majoring in journalism.

It is said that he was born in a scholarly family and is versatile.A model play, just open your mouth.

Many male students were fascinated by it.

When Xu Qing met the girl, Ma Jiefang and Sha Zhu followed, and they both praised her beauty in unison.

Xu Qing felt better. Although the other party was indeed very beautiful, in his opinion, he was still not as good as his sister Xiaoya and his wife Jinghong.

Jinghong used to be the pillar of the cultural troupe of her unit.

In terms of image and temperament, she is not inferior to the Chen Xiufang in front of her at all.

And Xiaoya, needless to say, has been a beauty since she was a child.

Jinghong wants her sister-in-law to work in the art troupe.

And any girl who can join the art troupe is not beautiful.

"Hi Comrade Chen Xiufang, my name is Xu Qing."

Xu Qing reached out to shake hands with the other party, and then had a friendly exchange. Sha Zhu and Ma Jiefang were smoking cigarettes and listening to Xu Qing and Chen Xiufang's discussion.

Xu Qing and Chen Xiufang had to be cautious about welcoming foreign guests and interviewing them.

This meeting was jointly requested by the Ministry of Industry and Military Propaganda, and at the same time, the 'School G Committee' clearly gave Xu Qing and Chen Xiufang instructions.

Absolutely can't make a mistake.

Xu Qing had no choice but to prepare carefully. After a brief exchange with Chen Xiufang, he started to improve his foreign language without stopping.

It's just that he didn't know which foreign guest the other party was, so Xu Qing had no choice but to ask all the old professors in the school's foreign language department, as long as they were not imprisoned in the labor reform compound.

Those old professors, old intellectuals, have devoted their lives to studying knowledge. They may not be very good at other things, but they are absolutely profound in knowledge and can be regarded as famous teachers.

However, he was obsessed with studying knowledge, which caused him to suffer a lot after this change.

Xu Qing's humbly asking for advice allowed the old professors to regain their dignity as teachers, especially the one who was sweeping the floor in the toilet. He taught almost everything he could.

But right now Xu Qing just wants to learn some simple words to communicate with foreign guests, so that he can come in handy during interviews.

As for in-depth study, I really don't have time for the time being.

The old professor did not force others to do anything difficult. He knew that it would be impossible for Xu Qing to fully understand and understand what he had learned all his life.

According to Xu Qing's intention, he taught some foreign language skills to communicate with others.

In the evening, Xu Qing dragged his exhausted body back to the dormitory, transcribed all the foreign language expressions he had sorted out in a cowhide notebook, studied hard, and memorized them.

Just as hard as when I entered the factory as an apprentice.

Silly Zhu jumped off the upper bunk, looked at the foreign language that seemed to him like a ghost drawing, smoked a cigarette, curled his lips, and frowned.

If it was a recipe, he might be a little interested.

He just heard Xu Qing say that none of them were related to food. He immediately turned around and lay down on Xu Qing's lower bunk, kicked off his black cloth shoes, put his legs on the edge of the bed, and continued to smoke.

He can't even recognize Chinese characters, and he has no interest in learning foreign languages.

Ma Jiefang and Ye Aimin stood beside Xu Qing, one on the left and one on the right, bowed their heads to look for a while, and then left silently.

Although Xu Qing marked the Chinese meaning in the languages ​​of several countries, after Ma Jiefang followed Xu Qing for a few words, his tongue became knotted and he lost his mind.

Ye Aiming talked with Xu Qing in a decent way.

Guangdong is close to overseas.

In addition, many of the people over there had studied abroad in the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, and Ye Aimin's English, so naturally they have heard it more or less, and they can speak a few words.

Yan Guohao sat upright on his own bunk, smoking a cigarette, and when he heard Xu Qing speak Hindi (Indian), his brows furrowed, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

But after seeing clearly that it was Xu Qing, he suddenly came back to his senses, heavily exhaled the smoke from his mouth, let go of his tightly clenched hands, then got up and walked out of the dormitory to breathe outside.

And Liu Shenghai, who used to be a clerk, sat beside Xu Qing and was very interested in foreign languages. He took out his own pen, turned out his notebook, and asked for advice while copying:

"Comrade Xu Qing, how much Hindi do you know? Please teach me. I might be able to put this to great use in the future."

Except for Xu Qing's knowledge of English, he didn't know much about other foreign languages. It wasn't that the school asked him to interview foreign guests.

Xu Qing had no choice but to sell what he learned now, and told Liu Shenghai all the Hindi he had just learned from the old professor.

Liu Shenghai was hungry, respectful and serious, and asked Xu Qing some questions from time to time, which was really difficult for him.

Xu Qing had no choice but to recommend the knowledgeable old professor of Hindi to him and asked him to find him tomorrow.

As if he had found a treasure, Liu Shenghai's face showed joy and he kept expressing his gratitude to Xu Qing. He reached out and took out the cigarettes on his body and handed one to Xu Qing with great respect. Then he and Ye Aiming continued to learn foreign languages ​​with Xu Qing.

Hard work paid off. After several days of foreign language learning, Xu Qing's interview went extremely smoothly on the day he welcomed the foreign guests.

Especially when I learned before the interview that the foreign guests brought it from Canada, I felt even more confident.

English and French are spoken in this country.

When Xu Qing communicated with Canada's Trudeau, he asked questions in both languages, which was very fluent.

Some of the big shots present couldn't help but look favorably at Xu Qing, a representative of the workers, peasants, and soldiers.

At the end of the interview, the big man even praised Xu Qing verbally, praising his class of workers, peasants and soldiers for being very promising.

The newspaper reporters present turned their heads and snapped at Xu Qing with their cameras, including three reporters from the workers' newspaper.

The fellow TV crew even asked the cameraman to point the camera at Xu Qing and start filming.

Of course, Chen Xiufang also performed well. She and Xu Qing were also representatives of workers, peasants and soldiers. Standing together, they were naturally photographed and filmed together.

In the evening, the national TV broadcasted the pictures of foreign guests visiting, and the pictures of Xu Qing and Chen Xiufang, as representatives of workers, peasants and soldiers, interviewing foreign guests also appeared on the black and white TV.

But Xu Qing didn’t know.

There was no television in the school. After the daytime interview, he and Chen Xiufang returned to school.

I had no idea that I was on TV.

But these days, only people in high positions own TV sets. How can ordinary people afford to watch TV.

Then, in addition to television, there is radio and newspapers.

Newspapers are issued the next day and are printed in the printing house at night.

But radio, like television, can broadcast the news on the same day.

At Xu Qing's house, Jinghong and her sister-in-law cooked dinner and packed it into the front room, where they were eating with Aiguo and Fengming.

Xiao Hongzhi sat on the kang, holding his small enamel rice, not eating well, looking at the radio that only made sound, with a curious expression on his face.

From time to time, when Jinghong was not paying attention, she mischievously poked the radio with the tip of her chopsticks, wondering if there was a villain hiding inside.

But after hearing the word 'Xu Qing', the little guy's ears immediately perked up, staring at a pair of watery eyes, poking the radio hard with the tip of his chopsticks, turning his head and shouting at Jinghong:
"dad."

Just now, Ma Jinghong and her sister-in-law Xiaoya were discussing to use a sewing machine to make a suit for Xu Qing later, but neither of them paid attention to the radio.

Hearing his son's words suddenly, he couldn't help frowning slightly.
