When you were studying, what did your most difficult classmates eat every day?

When I first entered high school, I lived in the same dormitory with a female classmate named Wang, which I will never forget. Every morning she spent one yuan to buy two steamed buns and went back to the dormitory to eat them instead of porridge. , at noon, she would not go to the cafeteria to get food, but would hide in our dormitory to eat the "good" food she brought from home every Sunday.

There are six girls in our dormitory, and we would eat from home on Sundays. We share all the delicious food we bring with us. She always doesn’t want it when we share it with her. We also don’t share the food she brought with us!

Something happened that I will never forget. One night in the dormitory, I bought a bucket of Master Kong beef noodles. After soaking it in boiling water, I found that I had added too much water. I didn’t want to eat it anymore, so I asked them if there was anything they wanted to eat. If they didn’t eat it, I took it out and threw it away. After asking twice, no one agreed. I was about to go out and throw it away. Student Wang said, “What if you I really want to throw it away, so just give it to me to eat!

I heard that she wanted to eat it, so I gave it to her. After classmate Wang took it, I saw that she ate it deliciously! ! Finally, she finished the soup. She said it was the first time she had eaten such delicious noodles. It was so delicious.

The next day, the five of us girls went back to the dormitory and took advantage of it. When she went out, we left one person standing guard at the door while the other four looked through what delicious food she had brought from home. When we opened what she brought, we were all stunned. It was just a bottle of pickled food at home. Vegetarian dishes, and one may be steamed buns for lunch!

Later I found out that she only eats two meals a day, one steamed bun per meal. In the evening, there is free soup in the school cafeteria, and she goes to prepare some. Drink the soup for dinner.

I secretly told the class teacher about this matter. After the class teacher and the principal learned the truth, they asked her to clean and tidy up the school library and gave her a certain amount of compensation every month. In addition, the head teacher helped her contact the school cafeteria owner and asked her to help the boss prepare food for the students three times a day without being paid.

Later I learned that her father was a disabled person in his forties. I just married a mentally retarded girl, her mother!

When she was in high school, her father was almost sixty years old and had to take care of her mother and provide for her education. You can imagine the living conditions at home. , it turned out that she was only in her second year of college, but she still went home because her father was ill and could no longer farm, and her mother had to be taken care of. Her father introduced her to a small foreman at home, because she was educated and had a long sign of being a small foreman. She was willing to treat her father, but she could only choose to go home to farm and get married.

He was the last one to come on the day of registration. He was small and wore a black top and a black top! A pair of gray pants and a pair of white sneakers on his feet that have turned yellow after being washed. The color of his shoes is the same yellow as his face, giving him the impression of being malnourished for a long time.

He smiled shyly at the three of us, revealing two rows of neat white teeth. He introduced himself in a low voice: "Hello everyone, my name is Liu Erjun. You can just call me Xiaojun from now on. I am from Shaanxi. "

The three of us also introduced ourselves to each other, and we officially knew each other. The boys in college are relatively familiar with each other, and they like to get together.

Chapter 1 At noon the next day, we asked Xiaojun to go to the cafeteria to eat together. He said, "You go ahead, I have something else to do, and I will eat by myself later." "

At that time, we didn't pay much attention, and the three of us went to eat together. After we returned to the dormitory after eating, Xiaojun went out to eat.

The next paragraph Time has always been like this. We were a little curious, and the rat from Jiangsu said, "Isn't Xiaojun unwilling to deal with us?" Otherwise, why would he avoid us every time we eat? "

I said: "No way. He is also very happy to see us communicating with us in the dormitory. It may not be what you think. Does he have something to hide? You see, he usually wears very simple clothes.

Could it be that he doesn’t have enough money to eat better food and is afraid that we will laugh at him? "

Mouse slapped his thigh: "If you say so, it is really possible. I saw that he only had two pairs of shoes, and they had been washed and turned yellow. Do you think he bought snacks or something one day? Every time we throw snacks to him, he says he doesn’t have such a hobby. I think Xiaojun must have limited living expenses and is afraid that we will laugh at him. By the way, where is he from? Shaanxi? Isn't it on a high loess slope?

I said: "It's possible. We live in the same dormitory and will live together for three years. We are all brothers. If what Da Fei guessed is true, we should help him." What do you think? "

Mouse and Dafei said almost in unison: "Yes! We are all brothers! Must help him. "

Da Fei took over and said: "But, he has been avoiding us, how should we help him? It would be bad if it hurt his self-esteem. ”

So, the next day we divided into two groups. I went to our tutor to find out about Xiaojun’s family situation. Dafei and Moazi were responsible for going to the cafeteria to keep an eye on Xiaojun to see if he was alone. What do you eat every day?

After talking to the tutor, I was completely shocked. It turned out that Xiaojun’s family was from a rural area in Shaanxi. His father was bedridden all year round, and his mother also had several chronic diseases. He needs to take medicine all year round. Xiaojun's family also has a younger sister who is in junior high school. Apart from a few acres of thin farmland, Xiaojun's family has little extra income. It is said that the villagers helped him pay for college. /p>

The tutor only learned about Xiaojun’s situation last week and was preparing to help him apply for a scholarship. I came to see him. The tutor asked a few people in our dormitory to take care of him in his daily life.

I said: "I know, we will definitely do it. "After that, I said goodbye to the tutor and went to meet up with Mouse and Dafei to hear the latest situation of their tracking Xiaojun.

After the three of them met, Mouse couldn't wait to say: "I can't help but cry. He was about to fall off, so he bought two taels of rice and a bowl of free soup. When the cafeteria was almost empty, he hurriedly finished the meal alone in the corner. "

Da Fei continued: "Do you know who I thought of when I saw Xiaojun eating rice with free soup? Sun Shaoping, on that snowy day, he used the leftover vegetable soup to make black steamed buns. Like a mouse, I'm about to burst into tears. We must not leave him behind. We are brothers in the same dormitory. I have decided that from now on I will take him with me for every meal. If he doesn’t eat, I won’t eat. "

After I told Da Fei and Mo Zi about his family situation, I said to them: "Then we need to think carefully about what we should do? Talent helps him without hurting him. "

The two of them said: "Okay! "

At noon the next day, the three of us pretended to go to dinner, then went for a walk and returned to the dormitory. As usual, when Xiaojun saw us coming back, he put down his book and said enthusiastically: "You guys I'm back, then I'm going to eat. "

At this moment, I said: "Oh, that's great, we haven't eaten yet. We just went out and had something to do and didn't have time to eat. Let's go and eat together. "

Xiaojun was obviously stunned on the spot. He probably never thought that the three of us had just gone to eat, so why did we sneak around and come back without eating. He was embarrassed. Standing there.

I pulled him over and walked out, I said: "We are brothers in the dormitory, why are we so coy about having dinner together or something. Da Fei, it’s because you delayed our meal today, so you’ll treat me to this meal. "

Da Fei obviously understood what I meant and said quickly: "Okay, okay, it's all my fault. I treat you to something delicious today. "

When we arrived at the cafeteria, Xiaojun was going to get food. I pressed him on the table and said, "Don't move. We made an agreement today and Dafei invited him." Don't move! After that, I said to Da Fei: "Da Fei, I want to eat meat, braised pork."

"

Da Fei said: "Okay, no problem. Braised pork is braised pork. I'll go get the food. You guys wait for me. "

In less than five minutes, Da Fei and Mo Zi came back with four dishes, including braised pork and fish, a Kung Pao chicken, and a bean sprout vermicelli.

The three of us shouted that we were full after eating a few chopsticks. Xiaojun saw that we were not eating, so he was about to put down his chopsticks. I quickly said: "Xiaojun, you are too thin, eat more, don't be like the two of them." A lesson, they waste food too much. "

After saying that, I said to Mo Zi and Da Fei: "Aren't you two in trouble? Go quickly! "

Da Fei and Mo Zi said: "Oh oh oh, let's go first, Xiaojun, you eat slowly. "After the two of them finished speaking, they raised their legs and ran away.

After the two of them left, Xiaojun raised his head and wanted to say something. I motioned him not to say anything and to finish the food on the table first. Tell him something.

I guess Xiaojun understood it at that time. He lowered his head and ate the food one bite at a time.

After about ten minutes, he put down his chopsticks and I said to him: "Let's go to the playground? "He nodded.

There was no one on the playground in the afternoon. We just walked side by side on the playground.

I said to him: "Xiaojun, we know each other. It’s been almost a month. Before, the brothers were negligent. I want to apologize to you. "

He quickly said: "Brother Hai, you..."

I paused and said: "Your situation, Mouse, Dafei, I, and I already know. Don't feel embarrassed, we live in the same dormitory, we are brothers. From today on, you will eat with us. If you continue to use the free soup to make rice, I have made an agreement with Mouse and Dafei. If you soak for one day, we will accompany you for the whole day. "

He said: "I can't take advantage of you.

I patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's meaningless if you keep insisting like this. What does it mean to be a brother? Even if we treat you as a brother, you must also treat us as a brother. Understand." Already? "

He walked silently beside me. After walking for about half a circle, he raised his head and said, "Okay, I will listen to you. "

I know that he must have experienced a very fierce psychological struggle in this half circle, but it is really great that he can figure it out. I said: "Let's go back to the dormitory. Are they still waiting for us in the dormitory?

He looked at me in surprise and said, "Didn't they have something to do?"

I said: "We had discussed before and deliberately let them go back to the dormitory. We were afraid that you would be embarrassed if there were so many people." "

After returning to the dormitory, I made a "yeah" sign to Dafei and Mouzi. They both got up from the bed excitedly and said to Xiaojun: "We will be brothers from now on!" "

Xiaojun smiled and said, "Well, thank you. "

That guy Da Fei patted Xiao Jun's shoulder hard, which shocked me. Da Fei said: "Don't say thank you in the future, we are all brothers! Besides, I’ll take pictures of you. ”

College brotherhood is so good!

Do you have such college brotherhood?

Remember the brothers who once slept in the same dormitory?

When I was in college, my roommate in the lower bunk bed had not eaten meat once in four years. On the day of the dinner, she burst into tears after eating a piece of braised pork.

During the four years of college, she didn’t ask for a penny from her parents, but she worked part-time jobs to support her sister’s admission to college. She also saved 50,000 yuan to build a house for her parents.

When we were unemployed after graduation, she signed a contract with a good company in advance.

Before leaving, she only left us one sentence: Thank you for taking care of me in the past four years. The best time of my life.

Holding the mobile phones, we all burst into tears...

She is the eldest sister in our dormitory, and she is also the last one to come to the dormitory. We were all going to have dinner in the cafeteria that day, but she was late.

The senior sister responsible for picking up freshmen helped her carry her luggage while she stood at the door and poked her head in. Speaking in Mandarin with a strong local accent: "Is this 406? Majoring in animal husbandry and veterinary medicine?"

The senior sister glanced at her house number and said: "This is the dormitory, go in . It’s time to get ready for dinner. You know where the cafeteria is, it’s the place we just passed by.”

She said “thank you” to her senior sister and sent her away. She stood there awkwardly and looked at us, rubbed her head sheepishly and said, "The train was late and the bus was too slow. I almost missed it."

We looked at her: she had a ponytail and a black pants, a rose-red floral T-shirt, a pair of outdated sandals, and stockings that cost one yuan a pair.

Looking at her embarrassed expression, we said in unison: "It's okay, it's okay. Your bed is here. We will make it for you and we will have dinner together later."

As we spoke, we unpacked her luggage and helped her make the bed. A dark black strap caught our attention.

This belt is about 60 centimeters long, divided into two layers, and the middle is sealed with needles. One belt is cut into sections. The upper opening was obviously sewn with needlework and had just been disassembled, with white threads remaining on it.

She saw us studying this belt and said embarrassedly: "My mother was afraid that I would lose my tuition fees, so she put the money in it, then sewed it on my waist, and sat there all day and night. The train is still very safe."

This was the first time we saw this operation, and our mouths instantly formed an O shape: "Oh! That's it!"

After making the bed. We asked her to go to dinner together, but she asked us to go first on the excuse that she wanted to take a rest. She didn't go to the cafeteria until we all came back from dinner.

Lili told her not to go to the canteen. The food in the canteen was almost sold out and there was nothing delicious left. There is also a snack bar outside the school, so go check it out.

She said: It’s okay, I’ll go take a look. I took my lunch box and went out. At that time, none of us knew that she went so late just so that everyone would be full and she would prepare the remaining meals at a cheaper price.

Knowing this is an occasional opportunity. I got back late from the club activities and it was still raining lightly. I was too lazy to run out to eat, so I took my lunch box and ran to the cafeteria to see if there was anything to eat.

I happened to see her also cooking. She seemed to be very familiar with the aunt who cooks in the cafeteria. I watched her swipe her card and only swiped one yuan.

In our time, one dollar was the price of half a dish and a steamed bun, but my aunt put the remaining two dishes into her lunch box. She also smiled and said to her: "You are too thin, eat more."

She turned around and saw me, and said in surprise and embarrassment: "Why are you here? We don't even have food."

I pretended not to see her embarrassment and said, "I'm late for the club activities. It's still raining and I'm too lazy to go out. Let's see if there's anything to eat in the cafeteria."

As she said that, she glanced at her lunch box and said, "You have quite a rich meal. It seems I'm really late. I can only go back to eat instant noodles."

She said sheepishly Said: "Either you don't mind it, or you can buy a steamed bun and we can eat it together? There is quite a lot of food, it should be enough for us."

So, I bought a steamed bun. , had a meal with her.

She told me that she comes to eat at this time every day, and the aunties in the cafeteria know her and know that the students who always come late are poor students.

In order to let her eat more dishes, I will give her the rest of the dishes every time. If you come later than me, there is usually no food.

Sometimes she arrived late, and the food was taken away by others, so she had nothing to eat. At this time, I usually just eat a steamed bun and pull myself down.

Seeing her not hiding her poverty, I felt a little embarrassed.

I know that her family conditions are poor. Even the rose-red floral T-shirt she wore when she entered school, which we all thought was rustic, was the result of her mother selling vegetables for a day and earning 15 yuan. Bought for her.

For her family, 15 yuan was a big expense. Her mother just wanted her to go to college so that she would not look too shabby. She wore that piece of clothing for three years, and it wasn't until her senior year that the T-shirt changed color and she was reluctant to throw it away.

Her daily breakfast is: a steamed bun, some pickles, and porridge that costs 2 cents each. She is not willing to drink it, so she runs back to the dormitory to drink boiled water.

The lunch time is relatively concentrated. If she goes there late, there will usually be no leftover food. She can only buy food with us. Sometimes half a vegetarian dish costs 7 cents, and a steamed bun costs 2 cents. 7 cents a***.

Sometimes it’s 2 cents for a steamed bun and 5 cents for a steamed bun with vegetarian filling. You can eat the steamed buns with the buns. She said it was more filling than half a portion of the dish.

We know that she is frugal and often deliberately packs more food. We will join her during meals, complaining that the food is not delicious, and use a spoon to scoop it into her lunch box.

She just smiled and ate without saying a word. We all jealously guarded her fragile self-esteem. But she did not shy away from her poverty.

Unexpectedly, we were still sleeping in on the weekend. She got up early and said while getting dressed: I can also sleep in at any time! Unfortunately, I still have to go out and fight.

Yes, the school has part-time jobs. Poor students can go to the school’s dairy factory to find part-time jobs selling milk after being recommended. The school provides tricycles, change, and milk, and you can earn the difference when you sell them.

She rides a tricycle around the streets every weekend selling milk. We often meet her when we go shopping. She will sell to passers-by and the salesperson at the door.

"Sister, buy some milk. We are the dairy factory of a certain school, with guaranteed quality. We also have skimmed milk, which is delicious and does not make you fat."

"Uncle, Why don’t you buy a pack of milk? We are a dairy company of a certain school, and we have guaranteed quality. We also have high-calcium milk, so you will be healthier if you take more calcium.”

She also said when she met a young man with children. Would recommend yogurt for children.

Most people would not reject a child who works hard on a work-study program. After two days, her income is not only enough for her own food expenses, but she can also save part of it.

She said to us: "I have saved all this money. My brother is about to take the high school entrance examination, and I have to share the pressure for my parents."

She also did what she said, In addition to the monthly living expenses for my brother. Every time it was time to pay tuition, she would run out to find a public phone booth to call her parents, ask how much her brother's tuition was, and then run to the bank to pay her brother.

In her senior year, she suddenly stopped selling milk. We were all surprised and asked her what was going on? Have you saved enough money?

She told us mysteriously: She was spotted by a company, which asked her to help the company run business in her spare time, with a basic salary plus commission. It’s much more profitable than selling milk.

It turned out that when she was selling milk, she met the owner of a veterinary drug company. The boss rejected her several times, so she recommended various products to others. Finally, the boss took a liking to her.

After chatting with her in detail, I learned about her situation and told her that there were many veterinary drug stores in the city and many farmers in the suburbs. I asked her if she was interested in selling veterinary drugs.

Basic salary plus commission. Since it is a probationary period, the basic salary is not high, but if it can be sold, the commission will be very considerable. The boss also promised her that if she successfully passed the probation period, she could sign an employment contract directly. After signing the contract, the base salary and commission will be higher.

So she bought a bicycle and started selling veterinary medicines at a nearby veterinary store. On weekends, I take a bus to the outskirts of the city and further afield. After class, I go to the veterinary medicine store near the school.

Whenever I have free time, I usually go to the library and study professional books on veterinary drugs based on the company’s product information. Just like that, when we graduated, she not only got herself a mobile phone, but she also saved 50,000 yuan!

This is an astronomical figure for us, but she said with a smile: "I will not spend this money indiscriminately. The house in my hometown is leaking, and my parents are not willing to renovate it. This money is for "My parents used it to build a house."

While we admired her perseverance, we also lamented that the children of poor people had already become rich. Knowing that she had booked a train ticket to return to her hometown tonight, we agreed to treat her to a dinner tonight.

When she went to the restaurant, she looked at the elegant decoration of the restaurant and the dishes on the menu. She smacked her lips: "Oh my god, the food in the hotel is so expensive. People who often eat here How rich! ”

There were 6 of us, and we ordered 8 dishes and a few bottles of beer. She picked up her chopsticks and started on the plate of braised pork. As she picked it up, she said, "I haven't eaten meat in four years, and I have forgotten what meat tastes like."

When the aroma of braised pork exploded in her mouth, she suddenly cried and said, "It turns out the meat is so delicious! No wonder our canteen sells it so expensive. I will make money in the future and try to eat it whenever I want." You can eat it."

We raised a glass to celebrate her, to celebrate that she could officially go to work soon, to celebrate that she successfully passed the probation period, and she was very happy that night. However, he excused himself to go to the bathroom to pay the bill, and then quietly slipped away.

When we received a text message from her mobile phone, she said that she had already got on the bus to the train station, the bill had been settled, and she wanted us to have a good meal. Thank you for taking care of her over the past four years. These four years of college have been the happiest years of her life. We'll see you later.

We looked at the text messages on our phones, hugged each other and cried. This poor classmate from the mountainous area taught us a profound lesson with her four years of college.

We also believe that with her character of never admitting defeat and hard-working character, she will be the one with the best achievements in our dormitory in the future.

We read that right. She is now a shareholder of the company and is said to own 8 shares of the company.

The last time we met, she drove a big red Audi and brought her children with her. The little girl, about eight years old, was beautifully dressed and very polite.

She said: College is really the ladder of life, and it is also the only best way out for children from poor families. What she values ??most now is her children's education.

Nowadays, she can eat whatever she wants and whatever she wants. However, she still missed the plate of braised pork on the Sanhuo meal. She said: It was the most delicious meat she had ever eaten.

When I was in college, the eldest sister in our dormitory (she was the eldest, everyone called her eldest sister) made half a piece of instant noodles every morning during the four years of college, poured out the water, and put in the noodles she bought in advance. Blanch the spinach in boiling water until soft, mix the spinach with instant noodles and seasonings, and have breakfast. At noon, I went to the cafeteria to get a steamed bun and half a portion of pickles. Go back to the dormitory to dry a glass of water and have lunch. In the afternoon, go to the canteen to make a steamed bun, blanch spinach in boiling water, add soy sauce, vinegar and sesame oil, and have dinner. I don’t see my eldest sister eating meat even once a month, and she still does odd jobs as a tutor outside. Sometimes we would secretly take turns to get an extra portion of meat and vegetables, pretending to share the extra portion with my eldest sister.

Although it has been more than ten years since I graduated, when I think about those green years, I feel they were the best times!

The years are gone, but the love is deep! The sisters in our dormitory have kept in touch until now.

Let me answer your questions.

When you were studying, what did your most difficult classmates eat every day?

I was a freshman in high school in 1959. Due to the extraordinary natural disaster that our country suffered in 1958, the former Soviet Union pressed our country for debt, some of the country’s policies made mistakes, and the national economy was on the verge of collapse. The people did not have enough to eat or clothe themselves. warm.

The person in the bed next to me is a classmate named Shi. His younger brother is in the second grade of junior high school.

His father was killed by a Kuomintang plane when he was transporting food to the People's Liberation Army during the Huaihai Campaign. He was a martyr. In that era, the country did not take care of the martyr's relatives.

The three of them, mother and son, depended on each other for their daily lives. Whenever there was a meal, the younger brother would go to his elder brother's dormitory to eat together.

Pizhou is located in the northern Jiangsu region, and the staple food is pancakes. Under normal circumstances, one person needs to eat three pancakes at a meal to be full. The two brothers must eat as planned, with each pancake in front of a mud pot. Put in the fried wild vegetables. In the spring, they are notoginseng buds and mugwort. In summer, they are elm leaves and shepherd's purse. In winter, they are black potato leaves. These wild vegetables will change in flavor and become rancid after being left for a long time. His mother will send him a meal every Wednesday.

Other students also didn’t have enough to eat, so they were better off than him.

Because the two brothers studied hard, the elder brother became a teacher after graduating from high school, became a principal, and a member of the Communist Party, with a retirement salary of more than 7,000 yuan per month. My younger brother joined the workforce after graduating from the third grade of junior high school
