Siheyuan: My Northeastern Farmhouse

Chapter 119 Foreign Language Drama Club

After a week, the students’ food intake has returned to normal, and they can only eat two steamed buns at most in one meal. The canteen of Tsinghua University still mainly supplies steamed buns, with occasional noodles and dumplings, and a considerable proportion of grains. , such as cornmeal steamed buns and polenta.Rice is served once or twice a week. Students from the south love rice more and will exchange grain meal stamps for it.
Only then did the previous roommates realize that it wasn't that Gu Weijun ate less, but that his grandson was not lacking in nutrients before, so he couldn't eat so much!But none of the classmates care anymore. Everyone eats the same food now. Gu Weijun usually prefers to eat cereals for balanced nutrition, so the students from the south like to switch to him.

Now Gu Weijun's roommates have been replaced by classmates from the north, Wang Xuewen, Wu Fengling, and Li Zhongming from Beijing, Li Zhihua from Hebei, Wang Hailin from Tianjin, and Wei Yixiang from Jilin. Among them, Wang Hailin was born in a military family. He has a big head and a thick neck, and is nicknamed " Thick neck!”

Wang Xuewen had tonsil surgery after entering school and had gauze wrapped around his neck. His thin neck made his head look particularly big, so he was nicknamed, "Slim Neck!"

Li Zhihua was born in a rural area in Hebei. He looks tall and tall, but has a bit of a calculating personality. His name also has the word "华" in it, so he is nicknamed "Slick!" By the way, there is another slick in Class 01, who is from Shanghai. Hua Ruxing is thin but smart and capable, and her nickname is "Slippery!"

As for Li Zhongming, he talks to his classmates all day long about his name. The "Zhong" in his name is the second oldest, so his nickname is:.
The diligence, cheerfulness, simplicity and informality of his classmates allowed Gu Weijun to integrate into the collective of Gongwu Class 01 in just a few days, and then he was educated.
The reason is that Gu Weijun usually doesn't wash his coat, only his underwear. After the club activities on Saturday, he rolled it up into a bag and took it back to the courtyard, and brought it back clean on Monday.Regarding this matter, Gu Weijun was educated by his roommates as soon as he came back in the morning after the National Day. Even his classmates in Beijing were adults. How could he still take his clothes home to be washed by his family?

Gu Weijun didn't defend himself. If the roommates knew about it, there would be no need for Gu's mother to take action. Qin Huairu would take the initiative to help Gu's mother wash it every time she saw it.So what should these students who call themselves animals call themselves?

On Saturday night, Gu Weijun came to the Foreign Language Drama Club again. This time, Chen Anyi was finally there. However, she glanced at Gu Weijun and stopped paying attention. Instead, she was explaining and rehearsing Shakespeare's play: Hamlet with other members of the drama club!
Gu Weijun quietly watched these people pretending to be cool, and occasionally chatted with the senior sister next to him.If nothing else, at the Yan'an Forum on Literature and Art before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the great man said, "Literature and art serve the people, first of all, the workers, peasants and soldiers." Premier Zhou also said at the 61 Literature and Art Forum, "The people I like it, but if you don’t like it, who do you think you are?”

And most importantly, we in China also have excellent dramas, such as "Teahouse" and "Thunderstorm" in the near future, and "The Peony Pavilion" and "The Peach Blossom Fan" in the distance.Your foreign language drama club is really awesome. You can translate into foreign languages, and you can also rehearse and perform.
Isn’t it just the longing for capitalism in your heart?No wonder Chen Anyi regards this as his second main activity location.

After Chen Anyi explained, she clapped her hands, called all the members of the drama club over, and took the initiative to introduce Gu Weijun to the army, "This junior is our new student who just enrolled this year. He has admired our foreign language drama club for a long time. I went to the class meeting on the first day After the introduction, he took the initiative to apply to join our drama club! Let us all applaud and encourage him!"

The applause from the senior students was particularly warm.

After the applause ended, Chen Anyi looked at Gu Weijun and smiled slightly, and continued meaningfully: "However, our drama club is a foreign language drama club after all, and there are still certain requirements for foreign languages. After all, the lines in the drama are all in foreign languages! So Gu Weijun, I can only say I’m sorry.” Not many people in this era can speak foreign languages, especially those who don’t take the college entrance examination!
After saying that, Chen Anyi looked apologetic, as if it was a pity that Gu Weijun could not join the foreign language drama club!

Suddenly, a senior student stood up. She was short, with a round face, small fangs, glasses, and short hair close to her ears. "Senior Chen, it's okay, I can give tutoring to Classmate Gu!" Then several other senior students also stood up. He came out and said, "We can do this too!" It was as if sparks could be seen in the looks between the girls!
Chen Anyi was instantly embarrassed
"To be, or not to be, that is the question!"

Gu Weijun transformed into the movie emperor, using his deep voice and standard London accent to recite the classic lines from "Hamlet".
After a long section of lines, Gu Weijun grinned with white teeth again and stared at Chen Anyi: "Senior Chen, what do you think of my recitation? Let me tell you, I have been particularly fascinated by drama since junior high school. I have watched Shakespeare's plays a long time ago, and I especially like this part!" Chen Anyi was stunned on the face, but her heart was turbulent: If her English is so good, she can't be one of those policemen who doesn't know a few Chinese characters, right?Especially at such a young age, studying takes up most of your time. Do you think too much?Look again?Thinking of this, Chen Anyi forced out a smile and said, "Then please give me warm applause again to welcome Gu Weijun to join our foreign language drama club!"

The applause became more enthusiastic. Several senior students gathered around again and introduced themselves. The first senior student who supported Gu Weijun took the initiative to introduce herself: "Junior Gu, hello, I am Jiang Wanhua, majoring in architecture."

"Hello, junior fellow student, I am Lu Man, majoring in electronics and computer science."

"Hello, junior fellow student, I am Wang Luyao, majoring in power machinery."

Because Chen Anyi was here today, Gu Weijun could only bite the bullet and greet the seniors with a smile on his face.

Jiang Wanhua looked at Gu Weijun with admiration, "Junior Gu, your English lines are so good! Which character in "Hamlet" do you like best? Is it the protagonist Hamlet? Then we will talk about a pair of characters in the play later. You play Hamlet and I play Ophelia?”

Wang Luyao squeezed over and said, "Junior Gu, can I play Ophelia and play opposite you?"

Not to be outdone, Lu Man said, "I played Ophelia the best."

The black line on Gu Weijun's forehead shows how reserved he is. Senior sisters, you are women in the new era. You should pay more attention to the connotation of your male classmates!The chattering among the senior students made Gu Weijun think of retreating again, but for the sake of the mission, he had no choice but to sacrifice himself.
Gu Weijun pretended to be serious and talked nonsense, "Senior sisters, my favorite character is Francisco!"

The scene suddenly became quiet. Several senior students were thinking about who this character was.Suddenly, Jiang Wanhua spoke hurriedly: "Francisco, that soldier?"

"That's right! Nay, answer me: stand, and unfold yourself." Gu Weijun continued to recite the soldier's lines seriously, and then smiled slightly, "Senior sisters, please call me soldier!"

The scene immediately fell into silence.
