Chapter 565 564 Big Thick Legs

After chatting for a while, everyone patted their butts, stood up and continued walking forward, leaving behind a pile of pine nut shells.

Tsinghua University is big, but not too big. The tourist attractions are all in the small area in the middle of the old campus. Other places were built in recent years and do not have much historical heritage. However, they have a great momentum, highlighting the word "big".

Led by Du Yanqing, everyone visited the auditorium, library, and teaching building.

Although Tsinghua University is not among the "Eight Major Universities", its grandeur is unmatched by other universities. The classrooms are really huge, much bigger than those of the University of Posts and Telecommunications.

It was National Tsing Hua University, where the mobile food supply was more abundant than that of other schools. In this age of hunger, there were actually people playing basketball on the playground.

In fact, it is not so outrageous if you think about it carefully, because sports are valued these days, and the first National Games had just been held not long ago. Students with sports expertise were given preferential treatment in food rations. The monthly ration of students with sports expertise at the Post and Telecommunications University was 6 kilograms higher than that of ordinary students.

There were not many students playing basketball on the court, all were boys, playing 3V3, wearing sweaters in the middle of winter, and white air was coming out of their mouths.

"I haven't played for a long time. My hands are itching. It's still early, why don't we go down and join in the fun?" Huo Xiaoping was itching to play as he watched from the side.

"Okay, I haven't played for a long time." Wu Aijun was about to take off his coat.

Shan Wei was more direct and went down to discuss with the boys on the court.

Those who like to play basketball seem to have an unwritten agreement that if the venue allows, they don't mind playing with more people. It would be even better if they could form a team and play against each other.

Shan Wei came back after a while: "It's settled. They are all classmates. There are five of us and they will send five people to fight against us."

"Okay! Let's go." After hearing this, the others began to take off their clothes, eager to give it a try.

"Well... I don't know how to play. How about you recruit one person from the other side to form a team?" Tang Zhitong scratched his head. Basketball was still relatively popular decades later, but as a small town student, not only was his family's financial situation not good, but Tang Zhitong also did not have time to develop some special skills. If he had time, he would have to herd sheep, feed pigs, and work in the fields.

"Why do I feel happy when I know you can't do it? Finally, I have some skills that are better than yours." Cheng Shaojun teased in a good-natured way.

Tang Zhitong smiled and didn't say anything back. Everyone has his strengths and weaknesses. If he really showed off his special talents, the men would be ashamed and the women would call him a hooligan.

"Look at your lack of ability. If I said his specialty is shooting, would you be less happy?" Classmate Xiao Wang couldn't bear to see her man being wronged in front of his childhood friend, so she complained about Cheng Shaojun.

"Is it true? The deliverymen in the city also practice shooting?" Cheng Shaojun looked incredulous. Shooting was his strong point. After all, he was a military academy student. He would not be so happy if he was surpassed in this aspect.

"Do you understand gun sense? He even killed two tigers! He was commended by the forestry department." Xiao Wang said proudly, with an expression that showed she was very proud of her husband.

"I was transferred to the escort position some time ago and participated in several training sessions. It's like forcing a duck to do something when fighting a tiger. We can't just watch the lives and property of the people being threatened, right? It's cold after taking off your clothes. Come on stage quickly. I'll cheer you on from below." Tang Zhitong took Cheng Shaojun's clothes and started to drive him away.

It's minus ten degrees Celsius. If you take off your clothes and don't exercise, you will catch a cold in no time.

Boys' hormones are related to nutrition and age. These guys have adequate nutrition and are very energetic, but they don't have many ways to vent their energy right now. The only legal ways are probably physical labor or sports.

When you are so tired of working yourself to death, you don't have time to think about some things.

Tang Zhitong was cheering for some of Xiao Wang's classmates, but the other girls didn't pay much attention and only occasionally joined in to encourage their childhood friends.

After hearing this, those male childhood friends fought fiercely as if they had consumed two kilograms of deer blood.

Boys often have three illusions: I am handsome, I can fight back, and she likes me.

Tang Zhitong was an experienced person and did not get involved in these things. He just shouted "Come on, good ball" and the like, then moved to the downwind side, smoked a cigarette and continued shouting.

Being located downwind, the chattering of the girls inevitably reached my ears.

Most of them are about interesting things in work and life, and occasionally some vague love between men and women. They ask the sisters for advice, but none of them involves childhood friends on the court. I feel sorry for these guys.

"Student Du Yanqing." Several girls were discussing excitedly when a classmate came over from the other side of the playground with a lunch box.

"Gu Kezhan, what's the matter?" Du Yanqing stood up, turned around and asked.

"The dance team has an extra rehearsal at 4 p.m., and since you're here, I wanted to tell you about it." Gu Kezhan said to Du Yanqing with a smile, and nodded to her childhood friends as a greeting.

"Okay, thank you." Du Yanqing agreed. Hearing the snickering from his childhood friends behind him, two colorful clouds crept up on his face: "Anything else?"

"It's okay, you guys go ahead and do your work, I'm going to eat." Gu Kezhan touched his head with a smile, his front teeth were very white, and he ran away.

"Who is this?"

"He's quite handsome."

"Qingqing, you're not going to date, are you?"

Du Yanqing turned around and was faced with a barrage of gossip from his childhood friends, which was even more intense than the gossip he had just received about classmate Xiao Wang.

"Oh, they are my classmates, and they are all in the dance team of the art troupe. Many of my classmates will not go home for the Spring Festival, and the department is planning to hold a party so that we can have some fun together before the Spring Festival. You think too much." Du Yanqing couldn't stand these sisters of hers, so she was forced to explain everything.

Faced with Du Yanqing's explanation, the ladies were still unsatisfied and continued to dig deeper:
"Where is your home, young man?"

"How many people are there in your family?"

……

Tang Zhitong didn't interrupt, just stared blankly at Gu Kezhan's back as he walked away with the lunch box. He didn't react until the cigarette butt was almost burning his fingers.

With a shudder, Tang Zhitong threw away the cigarette butt, lit another one, took a deep breath, and calmed himself.

Damn, I met a teenage boss today!

He has a 3:7 ratio, thick eyebrows and big eyes. He doesn't wear glasses and looks a little childish, but he has a sweet smile and even his front teeth look cute.

Tang Zhitong admires this big shot who abolished agricultural tax from the bottom of his heart.

Anyone who is a farmer understands this feeling. He not only abolished the agricultural tax, but also introduced subsidies for young crops and the New Rural Cooperative Medical Scheme. It was also during his tenure that farmers began to receive pensions.

At the beginning, the New Rural Cooperative Medical Scheme only cost ten yuan per person and lasted for several years.

The pension was 60 yuan per person per month, plus the output from the land, it was enough to ensure daily food and clothing. The people were grateful to him, and in those years in the countryside, the people spontaneously hung his portrait in the most conspicuous place in their homes.

Tsinghua University, Department of Water Conservancy, Class of 59, everything seems correct, how come this was forgotten?
Looking at Du Yanqing again, Tang Zhitong's eyes changed.

What did Du Yanqing say when you got married?

It seemed as if she was asking herself to be nice to Xiao Wang, otherwise she, as her sister, would not forgive her.

I used to think she was being arrogant when she said that, but now I think about it, no matter what happens to her in the future, just based on the background revealed by the clothes these childhood friends were wearing today, if I did anything to let down classmate Xiao Wang, they really have the ability to deal with me.

I am still superficial!

The players on the court might have been tired from playing, or they might have not heard the cheers, so they dispersed.

"What are you thinking about?" Cheng Shaojun came over, took his clothes from Tang Zhitong and put them on.

"Nothing. It's noon now. I was wondering what the food in Tsinghua University's cafeteria would be like." Tang Zhitong rubbed his face with the hand that didn't hold the cigarette and managed his expression.

"Hey, Qingqing, does your cafeteria accept food coupons?" Cheng Shaojun asked as he put on his cotton-padded jacket. He felt hungry after playing basketball for a while.

"We're already here, can you still pay for your food coupons?" Du Yanqing waved her hand and invited everyone to go to the cafeteria.

"That won't do. Everyone has a fixed ration. With so many of us, wouldn't it cost five or six kilograms of food coupons for a meal? Are you going to tighten your belt? I can't eat your food for free. I have prepared the food coupons. If you don't accept them, we'll have to go to a restaurant outside the school gate." Since it was about food coupons, Xiao Wang was unwilling to let her sisters suffer, so she set the tone first.

"That's right, that's right, how can you not have food coupons? Look at your small body, you have to eat more." Other students also echoed.

"Okay, let's go to the cafeteria first." Du Yanqing accepted the kindness of his childhood friends and led everyone towards the cafeteria.

The cafeteria is not far from the playground, about a few dozen meters to the north.

Tang Zhitong waved to Xiao Wang and called her to confirm two things with her.

"Hey, you are trying to whisper to me. Come up with us later and don't fall behind." Sun Xiaopu joked.

"You are such a good girl, but you have such a harsh mouth. Sometimes I wish I could sew your mouth shut." Student Xiao Wang hit Sun Xiaopu lightly and walked against the team to Tang Zhitong.

"Have you mentioned the tutoring issue to Qingqing?" Tang Zhitong ignored other people's teasing. Tutoring was more important than anything else right now.

"Not yet, what's wrong?" Student Wang was confused.

"Okay, then you ask her later if she can ask her classmate to teach Jingmin. This is a serious matter. Don't let Qingqing think we are making fun of her." Although this big tree has not grown up yet, it will grow into a big and thick leg in the future. Tang Zhitong wants his brother-in-law to establish a master-disciple relationship.

"Oh, okay. I'll ask Qingqing later." Xiao Wang didn't understand why her husband did this, but seeing his serious expression, she agreed.

"Also, I remember when we got married, Qingqing promised to be the godmother of our child. You can find a chance to ask her whether this is still valid." With such a thick thigh and such a good net, there are only so many things he can do to benefit from it, but it will be of great benefit to the child in the future, and Tang Zhitong doesn't want to miss the opportunity.

"Of course it counts. Qingqing and I are sisters from different families and we are very close. But what happened to you today? Are you cold?" Student Xiao Wang reached out and put the back of his hand on Tang Zhitong's forehead, feeling a little worried.

"I'm fine, I'm just worried that you'd forgotten. I saw that young man was very friendly just now, and I think he would get along well with Jingmin, so I thought of reminding you." Tang Zhitong said to cover up.

"Okay, let's go. Everyone is waiting." Student Xiao Wang nodded and pulled Tang Zhitong towards the cafeteria.

Those people did not abandon Tang Zhitong and his wife, but stood at the cafeteria door waiting.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. Come in." Tang Zhitong and Xiao Wang walked up to them and motioned for everyone to go into the cafeteria.

"Brother Tang, I look like you from afar. Why are you here at Tsinghua University today?" A voice came from the east.

"Hey, Brother Feng, we are here to hang out with friends. Aren't you in Yanda University? Why are you at Tsinghua University today?" Tang Zhitong turned around and it was Cai Feng.

"Hey, I'm dating someone, he's a teacher at Tsinghua University." Cai Feng was a little shy when talking about this. He turned around and wanted to ask his girlfriend to come over to meet him, but he didn't expect that his girlfriend was already chatting with him.

The person chatting with Cai Feng's partner was none other than Du Yanqing.

Seeing Cai Feng calling her, the girl said a few words to Du Yanqing and walked to Cai Feng.

"This is my girlfriend, Qiao Siyu. This is my friend, Tang Zhitong. This is Tang Zhitong's lover, Wang Jingwen." Cai Feng introduced the three people. Except for Qiao Siyu, they all knew each other. They had drunk together at Gu Yong's wedding banquet.

"Hello, sister-in-law." Tang Zhitong's attitude was very formal. Cai Feng was older than Gu Yong, but he was the last one to find a partner among the group.

"Hello." Qiao Siyu was a little embarrassed. She met her boyfriend's friend in front of her students. Her boyfriend's friend was also a friend of her students. The relationship was a little bit messy.

"It's better to meet by chance than to be invited. Brother Feng, it's rare to meet each other, why don't we sit together today?" People were coming and going at the entrance of the cafeteria. Tang Zhitong saw that Qiao Siyu was a little nervous, so he planned to pull the two of them in first.

"No, no, we won't disturb your class reunion. Let's wait for the next chance." Qiao Siyu expressed her opinion before Cai Feng and tugged at Cai Feng's sleeve.

"That's fine. Brother Feng, when you and sister-in-law get married, you must tell me so I can come over to help cook and lend a hand." Tang Zhitong said as he took out a pen from his bag, wrote the address and phone number of the Escort Department on a notebook, tore it off and handed it over.

The two have not been in touch since they parted in May last year, and there is no latest contact information.

"Okay, that's all for today. We'll contact each other later." Cai Feng took the note, folded it and put it in his jacket pocket, then waved goodbye to Tang Zhitong and his wife.

The other people looked at Tang Zhitong differently. Although the matter was not a big deal, what mattered now was having friends all over the world.

"Make more friends and fewer enemies", this group of people know this sentence because of their living environment since childhood, but it is not easy to actually do it.

"Hey, buddy, you have such a wide network of contacts. You even know Qingqing's counselor just by making a corner." Huo Xiaoping walked up to Tang Zhitong, stretched out his arm and put it on Tang Zhitong's shoulder, looking very warm.

"What a coincidence." Tang Zhitong laughed. He and Cai Feng only had a little friendship, not a deep one, but they could get closer in the future. Qiao Siyu was Du Yanqing's counselor, that person's counselor...

Getting to know each other is just a beginning, and it only guarantees an opportunity to strike up a conversation in the future.

If you want to succeed, you need to have contacts and relationships in the days to come. It would be even more secure if there are other people you are familiar with.
