Chapter 396 Chapter 395 Meal Ticket Controversy
"The pine nuts have finally been moved, but Gu Yong is moving the day after tomorrow, so I have to go over and help him out. I'll be back a little later." After dinner, Tang Zhitong reported to classmate Xiao Wang first.

"Okay. You can bring some pine nuts to Yueyue to save me a trip." After hearing this, classmate Xiao Wang arranged a job for Tang Zhitong.

"Follow your orders." Tang Zhitong saluted classmate Xiao Wang. They are all young people, and they find it interesting to do weird things occasionally. This is completely different from an old married couple.

"It's weird! It's getting dark earlier and earlier. We'll have to send them to and from school in two days." Xiao Wang gave Tang Zhitong a light punch, then put some scraps of fabric on the sewing machine and used them with ease. The sewing machine was taken out from the belly of the table.

"Yeah, okay. We'll see when the time comes and try to let us all go together." Tang Zhitong was worried about his sister and sister-in-law, but he was also worried about Xiao Wang.

"I'll forget it. If anyone dares to rob me, I'll beat him up." Xiao Wang smiled sweetly at Tang Zhitong and waved his fist. He looked harmless to humans and animals, but the sandbags in the yard knew best the power of this boxing. How big.

"Then I'm not worried. It's just a few steps and it's not a big deal." Tang Zhitong was stubborn and unwilling to give in on this issue.

"Okay, that's up to you." Xiao Wang turned around and smiled again, and then started to work with her hands. She was going to make a pair of gloves for her two sisters. Morning and night, her hands had started to get cold while riding a bicycle.

On Tuesday morning, Tang Zhitong and Wang Jingwen went to school with their two younger sisters to familiarize themselves with the route. They arrived at school a little late.

When Tang Zhitong came to the classroom, class had already begun. What he didn't expect was Wei Zhizhen standing outside.

After entering college, Tang Zhitong was not just resting on his laurels. He learned a lot in other courses that he had never been exposed to before, and his abilities were also significantly improved, such as cartography classes.

"Thank you, principal, it's okay." Tang Zhitong was not worried about this, because when the teacher looked over just now, he also noticed that there was no disgust or indifference in the teacher's eyes. This matter can pass.

"That's a good relationship. Thank you, Teacher Wei, for thinking of us. I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of my classmates." Tang Zhitong did not think that Wei Zhizhen was just passing by. He clearly made a special trip to show his kindness to him.

Nowadays, universities are easy to name without mentioning them. After all, everyone knows that the opportunity to go to university is hard to come by. If you study calmly for a while, you will have a bright future. No one takes the initiative to test the bottom line of teachers and colleges.

This time I made a rocket stove, just in time to move the 58-type civilian dual-purpose stove that Xiao Wang bought last year to the main house.

"Okay, let's go out and chat?" Tang Zhitong closed the exercise book, stood up and asked.

Tang Zhitong has long wanted to build a stove that improves efficiency at home. However, last year, due to the priority principle of spending money on the cutting edge, it was not implemented in place. This time, he had spare money, so he just asked "Wang Jingwen is not used to the lack of heating. Use it." The reason for purchasing one is “heating”.

Strictly speaking, it is not a copying operation. Tang Zhitong made some slight changes, changing the furnace mouth to a round shape, enlarging the ash box, extending and adding a flue.

"Hello, Xiao Tang. I passed by here today to tell you something. Our college has decided to organize some students to go to the construction site to work on Sunday. They will go early in the morning and come back in the evening. The college will send a truck together. Aren't there a few students in your class who have big appetites? You can participate voluntarily, and you can have enough food for the whole day there." Wei Zhizhen greeted Tang Zhitong with a smile and explained the purpose of his trip.

"Someone was looking for you outside just now, but the teacher shouted, you are not here, sit down and you are late." As soon as Tang Zhitong sat down, Lu Jian whispered to him about the situation.

Tang Zhitong had used a rocket stove before when he went camping, and the fire was great. Since he has not found similar products in this era, he can rest assured to "use it".

"Teacher Tang, can I talk to you about something?" During the first period of class, Liu Changling ran to Tang Zhitong and asked playfully.

"You're welcome. The places are limited. Please give it to me as soon as possible. Class has already begun. You can go in first." Wei Zhizhen finished explaining in a few words. Without waiting for Tang Zhitong to be polite, he waved his hand and turned around to leave.

After Tang Zhitong watched Wei Zhizhen leave, he entered the classroom through the back door. The teacher glanced at him, said nothing, and continued to teach his class.

After roughly looking through today's course content, Tang Zhitong picked up a pencil ruler and listened while writing and drawing in his notebook.

But this teacher had a different impression of Tang Zhitong. He took ten days off less than a month after joining the school. However, he completed the homework seriously and made few mistakes, so he turned a blind eye most of the time. Maybe this was the result. Good students receive preferential treatment.

This time Tang Zhitong painted a rocket stove.

"Hello, Mr. Wei." Since you have seen him, it's hard to pretend you haven't seen him. Courses are important, but they are not as important as effective communication.

There is no cook who doesn’t like fierce fires. Some large restaurants have long used coke gas, and some use anthracite coal with electric blowers. Small restaurants are not so high-end, but they also use hand-push blowers. Increasing the air intake can not only increase the fuel consumption. Combustion efficiency can also effectively improve firepower.

In fact, Tang Zhitong had long wanted to get rid of the stove in the main house. It had weak firepower, was not warm, and had been used for more than 20 years. It was old and not very decent, and the outside was rusty, so he had to put a piece of mud on the inside to continue using it.

In the past, the pictures I drew before making things were very abstract, and I had to explain them to the master workers with gestures. But now it is different. I can speak directly with the drawings.

"Okay." Liu Changling didn't hesitate and walked out of the classroom first, walked directly out of the teaching building and came outside.

"What's the matter?" Although the cigarette was not easy to smoke, Tang Zhitong still couldn't hold it back. He found a downdraft, lit the cigarette and asked.

"A few male students in the class came to me and wanted to see if the girls could show off their style and give up some meal tickets. I think the other female students were a little unhappy and wanted to ask you for an idea." Liu Changling did not hide her secrets. Then, he moved the boys out directly.

"Okay, I understand. Let's talk about this together when we return to the classroom after class." Tang Zhitong did not expect that these male classmates would not give up, and it even made people feel a little shady.

It's difficult outside, but there is absolutely no need to go hungry every day in school. There is a ration of thirty-six kilograms per month. Although there are not many types of non-staple food, there is an unlimited supply. In addition, the monthly stipend of fourteen and a half yuan, The standard of living is more than one level higher than that of ordinary residents in Sijiu City.

"Well, then I'll wait for the class meeting." Liu Changling seemed to have a backbone, but in fact she was rejecting it in her heart. Before, she didn't know what was going on here when she first came here, but now she received letters from home and heard introductions from other students. Everyone was moved. The idea of ​​saving meal tickets and taking them home during the Spring Festival holiday suddenly popped up to ask for meal tickets?

Even if they are classmates, this is enough to disgust people. The beggars outside also know a few lucky words. Those boys came up and spoke out to promote their style. If it weren't for the pressure of righteousness, Liu Changling probably would have directly cursed her. . "Okay, thank you for telling me about this. You go back first, and I'll finish smoking this cigarette before leaving." Tang Zhitong could see Liu Changling's reluctance from her face, and he basically knew what was going on and hid. After a long time, he still didn't escape.

"Okay, please excuse me, Teacher Tang. I'm going back first." Under the strange gazes of other passing students, Liu Changling said goodbye to Tang Zhitong generously and entered the teaching building.

Although there are people who fall in love in universities, they are a minority after all, and even fewer of them make their relationship public. Most lovers will keep a certain distance when they are on campus, either with more than one person between them, or Walking in tandem.

During the second period of class, Tang Zhitong paused drawing and mentally made a draft of the class meeting.

Regardless of male or female classmates, they are all members of the same group who will live together for four or five years. They cannot make their faces look too ugly. If there are still unscrupulous people in the future, it is not too late to deal with them.

After class, Tang Zhitong returned to the classroom. After seeing everyone gathered, he walked up to the podium and tapped the desk with the blackboard eraser to draw the students' attention to the podium.

"Dear students, let me tell you something. Last month, some students overate their rations. According to college regulations, students who ate over the rations need to deduct this month's rations." Tang Zhitong paused here and looked from It was scanned on the students who had eaten too much.

"Since the girls in our class are quantitatively rich, I took the initiative to fill up part of this hole. Here, I would like to apologize to all the female classmates." After Tang Zhitong finished speaking, he bowed in the direction of the girls. The posture is well done.

"Teacher Tang, what are you doing? We don't blame you." The girls said one after another.

"It's my fault that I don't want to go back, because I have to make up for my overeating, and wealthy colleges won't make up for it." Tang Zhitong smiled at the female classmate, and then said to the whole class: "So, I suggest that everyone take good care of their own. Meal tickets are rationed, don’t overeat.”

In fact, Tang Zhitong wanted to say that he should eat when he is stuck, don't overeat, and don't leave any leftovers, because meal tickets are expired, but he couldn't say this because saying it would not be in line with the call for "saving".

How much you can comprehend depends on the individual.

"In fact, there were still some holes that were not filled last month. I know it is not easy for everyone, so I begged my grandpa to sue my grandma, and repeatedly promised not to do this again. Finally, the college agreed to suspend the payment. I'm sorry, in order to save everyone's face, I lied. . If any classmates feel that I have done something wrong, they can fill the hole. I am personally willing to accept any criticism for this." As soon as Tang Zhitong said this, there was no movement. No one was willing to use his own quota to fill other people's holes. Including those students who were overeating, they were unwilling to use this month’s ration to make up for last month’s hole.

Some students who know how to listen have already heard the implication of Tang Zhitong’s words: If you want to make up for the holes, you can criticize as much as you like. If you can’t make up for it, then don’t make blind comparisons.

There was silence in the classroom for a while, and you could hear a pin drop.

After controlling the situation for about ten seconds, Tang Zhitong spoke again: "Yesterday, a classmate came to me and asked me if I could discuss it with classmates who have small appetites, and use my style to help students with big appetites get some meal tickets."

When Luo Zhiping heard this, his face showed both shame and gratitude. He was ashamed that he had not thought carefully, but he was grateful that Tang Zhitong did not sell him out completely.

"I refused. The reason why I refused is because I have been hungry myself, and I also know what it feels like to be hungry. Because of this, I cannot do anything to fill my own stomach by letting others starve." Tang Zhitong was not in a hurry. After speaking slowly, he glanced around again, taking in all the expressions of the students.

Most of the students thought it was reasonable. Those students with big appetites lowered their heads in shame. Fortunately, there was no thorn in the side of disobedience, and the worst case did not happen.

In fact, Tang Zhitong wants to say that meal tickets are personal and the right to control is in the hands of the individual. People can give them to others, but they cannot ask for them. What is the difference between begging for food or robbing them after moral kidnapping?
By extension, who doesn’t have a family? Are you close to your classmates or close to your family? I couldn’t eat anymore and bought steamed buns and steamed buns to dry in the sun. Wouldn’t it be delicious to take them home during the holidays? Why give it to a few classmates who are not very familiar with it?
Although everyone is selfish, the above words are not in line with the current mainstream. They can only be complained in the mind and cannot be spoken out openly, otherwise it will be a way of setting up trouble for the future. This is also the reason why Tang Zhitong needs to make a draft. What are the words? Go through what you should say and what you shouldn’t say.

"It is advocated above to sacrifice the small family for everyone, but this everyone is not a specific person, but refers to the collective. Please recognize this clearly and don't get confused. I believe that the students are all good people. In the face of big things, right and wrong I can carry it clearly. The female classmates have been taken advantage of by me without knowing it. I don’t want them to show off their style this time. Is that okay?” Tang Zhitong asked after the overall situation was decided.

Under Tang Zhitong's tugging and hitting, some students couldn't bear the inner torture and stood up to apologize: "I'm sorry. I apologize to the female classmates. It's because my ideological consciousness is not high enough and I only have myself in my heart. I have caused trouble to everyone. In the next We must strengthen our study and raise our awareness within the time, and I sincerely ask for your supervision.”

There was one person who took the lead, and several others who secretly colluded to ask the girls to promote their style could no longer sit still, and they all stood up and criticized themselves.

"You are all doing well. I am proud of you. I propose to applaud these students for their bravery!" Tang Zhitong said and took the lead in applauding.

After the applause stopped, Tang Zhitong encouraged us: "One or two kilograms of food stamps cannot solve any problem. In the end, we have to rely on self-reliance and hard work. For this reason, the department organized us to plant carrots. In another month and a half, the students will You can eat carrots as much as you want, even if you don’t want to!”

As the head of the department had said before, the students who participated in labor could share part of the harvest. When he said this, the students' eyes lit up and they burst out laughing.

After everyone had finished laughing, Tang Zhitong spoke again: "As a life committee member, after learning that some students did not have enough to eat in the ration, I have been actively contacting the college and secured several places for our class to go to the construction site for voluntary labor. "Although I don't get paid, I still have enough to eat on the construction site."

Hearing this, the eyes of the students in Class 593 of the Cable Department all lit up, and even the female students were eager to try.

"My suggestion is that this time, the students who were very brave just now should go. If these students are too tired and don't want to go, other students can take over." Tang Zhitong hit the stick and threw out a few sweet treats. date.

"Not too tired, not too tired. I wish I could sleep on the construction site every day if I had enough to eat." A classmate waved his hands repeatedly.

"You have a pretty good idea. The country gave you a scholarship to work on the construction site? Not only the college doesn't agree, but letting your parents know will break your legs." Tang Zhitong laughed and scolded.

After everyone heard this, they burst into laughter. This classmate also touched his head in embarrassment and laughed along with him.

"Other students, don't be disappointed either. I will work hard to find opportunities like this in the future, and everyone will take turns. Okay, let's study." Playing for fun, making fun for fun, joking for fun, Tang Zhitong really plans to I can help my classmates here, even if I can only help a few classmates earn a pound of food each month.

The students warmly applauded Tang Zhitong’s empty promise, and they all looked forward to that day coming soon.
