Chapter 179: Fire in the Old House
After leaving the office building, it was cloudy today, God was kind, and the sun was not shining. Qiu Huoming glanced at his watch, it was almost nine o'clock.
Teacher Xu asked him to sit in an empty seat on the side of the third row so that he could speak on stage later.
The host on the stage was a decent-looking young man with delicate features. At first glance, he felt vaguely familiar.
As soon as Qiu Huoming sat down, he noticed a gaze locked on him.
He subconsciously raised his head and saw Tan Jialiang walking over from a short distance away. He looked at him and twitched the corners of his mouth as a greeting.
Tan Jialiang walked quickly to the first row, bowed his body respectfully, and said something to one of the elegant old men.
The old man nodded.
Tan Jialiang quickly walked to the stands, said a word to the host, and then ran off the stage to inform the backstage that the music stopped.
It seems that he is also a staff member of the venue today.
The host stood on the podium and began to announce the official start of the opening ceremony.
After the applause, he said into the microphone: "Everyone stand up, please raise the national flag and play the national anthem..."
The familiar melody sounded. Everyone looked up at the national flag rising slowly in front of the building and sang together with the national anthem.
Standing on the right side of Qiu Huoming was a young man in simple clothes. He had a thin face and light eyebrows. He was holding a piece of manuscript paper with one hand. When he sang the national anthem, he was so excited that his voice rang in Qiu Huoming's ears. , I can’t tell that this person is so full of energy...
Qiu Huoming couldn't help but glance at him a few more times.
Next, the host continued to speak: "I would like to invite Dean Liu of our School of Engineering to give a speech to everyone..."
The elegant elder sitting in the first row stood up and walked quickly to the stands.
The man next to him was obviously nervous. Qiu Huoming saw that his hand holding the manuscript was shaking and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"
The man nodded, "It's okay, I just have to speak later and I can't control my hands... There are too many people here..."
"Representative of Laosheng?"
"Ah."
"Then you treat us as sweet potatoes on stage, each one of us sweet potatoes, and you give a speech in the field..."
The young man was startled and closed his eyes. After a while, he opened his eyes again. The shaking of his hands was much better. "This method is good. I am an experienced farmer..."
He stretched out his hand to Qiu Huoming and said, "This is quite interesting. My name is Hou Yizhao. I am a junior."
"Autumn fire is bright, freshman radio."
After the two shook hands, they looked at each other and smiled. Dean Liu was still talking in the stands. Qiu Huoming looked at Tan Jialiang, who was standing in the corner, and saw that his eyes were wandering, as if he was also looking for someone.
The number of freshmen in the audience should be at the edge of the crowd, near the right corner.
Although Ji Songxiang and Zhao Jiamin didn't like Shan Fang, they couldn't resist her and took the initiative to sit over. Shan Fang's eyes almost never left Tan Jialiang next to the stands.
"Senior Brother Tan is so awesome, he can talk in this scene..." Shan Fang muttered.
"He should be a member of the student union who came to help temporarily. There are several more over there!" Zhao Jiamin pointed to several young people standing on the other side.
"You see, the school badges on their chests are different from ours. There is half a red gear under the student union's school badge..."
Ji Songxiang praised: "Jiamin, you know so much."
Shan Fang looked over carefully. She was far away and couldn't see clearly. She curled her lips, feeling that they were fooling her, and she was slightly unhappy.
"Who is that host? He looks very young." Ji Songxiang asked.
"That's the teacher, I don't know which department he is from." Zhao Jiamin explained: "I was in the No. 3 teaching building before and saw him go in with the lesson plan..."
"Oh, that's it." Ji Songxiang suddenly realized that the host of this kind of occasion must not be looking for students.
Dean Liu’s speech on the stage continues...
He is a pragmatic person, and his speaking style is the same as his own. He is an engineering scholar. He introduced the general situation of the school first, and then changed the topic and said some words of encouragement to the freshmen in the audience. The speech ended with applause.
The host walked back to the stand quickly and said, "Thank you to Dean Liu for your earnest teachings, which have benefited us a lot. We will also keep these words in mind. In the following college career, we will live up to our time and study hard... …”
Ji Songxiang whispered: "He can really say..."
“Next, let’s invite our old student representative, Hou Yizhao, a junior from the Mathematics Department, to come up to the stage and give a speech.”
Hou Yizhao stood up and murmured, "Sweet potatoes, they are all sweet potatoes..."
Then he walked quickly to the stage.
"Everyone, Sweet Potato..." As soon as he finished speaking, the scene fell silent.
Hou Yizhao suppressed the trembling of his legs and smiled calmly, "As you can see by reading the book, the history of our school can be traced back to the Anti-Japanese War. At that time, our school trained a large number of knowledgeable and responsible patriotic young people..."
Qiu Huoming raised the corner of his mouth, this dear man is indeed a wonderful person.
"...As a junior, I also have something to say to the juniors and juniors in the audience..."
Qiu Huoming glanced at his watch. Where was the promised three minutes?
His speech lasted more than twice as long as expected, and after six minutes, he finally finished.
As soon as he came back, he looked excited. He folded the speech manuscript in his hand, approached Qiu Huoming and asked: "I performed well, right? I need to make up for it in time..."
The host's voice sounded on the stage: "Thank you, classmate Hou Yizhao, for your wonderful speech. Now let us give warm applause to welcome our freshman representative this year, classmate Qiu Huoming of the Radio Department..."
Qiu Huoming patted Senior Hou who was still nagging, "It's my turn."
He strode toward the stands.
Before Zhao Jiamin could say anything in the audience, Ji Songxiang grabbed her arm and said, "Hey, it's him, it's him!"
"Oh..." Zhao Jiamin looked at Qiu Huoming who was walking to the stands.
"Dear school leaders, teachers, and lovely students, good morning, everyone. My name is Qiu Huoming. I am a freshman in the radio department. I am deeply honored to be able to speak on the stage as a freshman representative..."
"The tide of the times is already rushing forward. We, the students, are just in time for the moment. The future has already come..."
"Several trump cards in our engineering school have a good reputation in the industry, but we cannot stand still and must be good at thinking. For example: In addition to radios, walkie-talkies, and televisions, in what directions can we move towards? One day, our country's satellites will be in space. It won’t just stay for more than 20 days...one day the phone will be in thousands of households...even we can answer the phone while walking on the road..."
"In addition to the huge computing functions, the computers in our engineering college can also realize human-computer interaction by talking to stand-alone machines?"
"Let's talk about the Department of Mathematics. The three famous conjectures of mathematics, Goldbach's conjecture and Fermat's conjecture are still not completely solved..."
“数学不是枯燥的数据，就连计算机也是由0、1组成的恢弘世界……数学才是最终的浪漫，属于我们工学生的浪漫，我来出几个题目：r=a（1-sinθ）、128√(e^980)、x^2+(y-(x^2)^(1/3))^2=1，对数学有兴趣的同学可以试着去解答……”
Standing on the stage, Qiu Huoming was talking endlessly, and suddenly he understood Senior Hou's previous mood. There were some words that he really didn't want to say. He hoped that these talented students in the School of Engineering could have a direction and a targeted approach. Pushing our science forward, even a small step faster, will have an immeasurable huge impact on the future.
Anyway, no one said anything to Senior Hou when he exceeded the time limit. If he learned from others, he should be fine.
Qiu Huoming felt at ease and extended his 3-minute speech to 6 minutes.
Teacher Xu's expression changed from funny at first to gradually serious.
Ji Songxiang asked Zhao Jiamin in a low voice, "Have you memorized the formula he said? Let's go back and solve it..."
"Write it down." Zhao Jiamin looked at Qiu Huoming who was talking non-stop on the stage, and thought about the first time she saw him running and broke his shoes, and... the way he fell from the tree, These scenes of him overlapped with the one on the stage, and a smile appeared on his lips involuntarily.
Shan Fang suddenly interjected: "This person you know has some background, right? Otherwise, why would you ask him to come on stage? You are so good that you got to know this person when you first came here..."
Ji Songxiang frowned, why did this sound so awkward?
Zhao Jiamin was too lazy to pay attention to her, and looked noncommittal, which made Shan Fang feel like he had been punched on a ball of soft cotton, and he snorted softly.
oppressive rule?
They didn't agree with him when he praised Senior Brother Tan. Shan Fang felt a little angry, so she just didn't say anything and continued to look at the stage.
Qiu Huoming finally finished speaking, and there was thunderous applause. His speech was completely different from the others. Not only was it interesting, but he even gave math questions on the spot.
Some of the teachers in the front row had thoughtful expressions on their faces.
The host passed by Qiu Huoming, "Thank you very much for the freshmen representative's wonderful speech..."
Qiu Huoming had just sat down when he was grabbed by Senior Hou, "What's the answer?"
"You have to find the answer yourself..."
"Are you still pretending? But I think I'm the better one, so why isn't this over?" Senior Hou showed a hint of impatience as the host on the stage continued to speak.
The beginning of the school year for freshmen in 82 was not like that of later generations. There would be many performances. Teachers from various departments would talk about some historical reviews and prospects on the stage. It was indeed a bit boring...
The ceremony did not officially end until 11:45 noon.
Qiu Huoming turned around and held his stool in his hand. The host just said that these stools today are all allocated to freshmen. They can be used for watching outdoor movies or other large meetings in the future.
Qiu Huoming followed Teacher Xu into Building 1. He also wanted to move the radio back to the dormitory.
When he came down with the radio, the huge venue was already empty. The empty stands had not yet been demolished, and the flowers were still blooming on both sides. Qiu Huoming rushed to the dormitory with a stool. As soon as he arrived at the dormitory, he saw Chen Xi turned around and looked at him with admiration as he walked in.
Qiu Huoming put down the stool and radio and touched his face, "Is there something on your face?"
"No, no..." Wen Yuanyi's voice sounded from behind him.
He walked to the dormitory with the newly cleaned enamel rice bowl, "Brother Huo Ming, you are so awesome, you gave a speech without a script! If it were me, I wouldn't be able to remember a single word..."
Yang Shijun obviously came back from the toilet, wiping the water stains on his hands as he walked, "Let's go, let's go, I won't be able to have a hot meal since it's late."
The group of four in the dormitory immediately hurried toward the cafeteria carrying their lunch bags and thermos bottles.
Today is the opening ceremony for freshmen. The cafeteria was notified and extra time was deliberately extended. When they entered the cafeteria, they immediately discovered that the current group of people eating were almost all freshmen.
After a while, Qiu Huoming and his group came to the front of the queue. The moment he turned to talk to Chen Xi, he saw Zhao Jiamin walking in the direction of the door.
He didn't regard himself as an outsider at all. He immediately raised his arm and waved his hand, "Here, here!"
A smile appeared on Ji Songxiang's face, and she grabbed Zhao Jiamin, "He's calling you!"
Zhao Jiamin's ears were slightly red and she rolled her eyes.
Ji Songxiang shrank her neck, "Oh, let's go there... and ask questions by the way."
After saying that, he couldn't help but put his arm around her and walked quickly towards Qiu Huoming.
Shan Fang was a few steps behind them, and when she saw this, she followed them.
Yang Shijun's hands shook, and his voice was filled with nervousness, "They are here!"
"Look at your potential!" Chen Xi glared at him and turned his head away, trying not to look at them.
Only Wen Yuanyi approached with a smile, "Hello, sisters!"
Qiu Huoming gave up his seat and said, "Come on, come on, what do you want to eat? I'll order it for you first..."
Zhao Jiamin shook his head, "This is considered queue-jumping..."
At the end of the line, a boy responded, "It's okay. Girls who cut in line are not called queue cutters..."
The whole place burst into laughter.
Qiu Huoming saw that some of them were worried, so he stretched out his hand to keep her as she was about to leave, "If I trade with Chen Xi and Lao Yang for you, it won't count as jumping in line!"
After saying that, he pulled Chen Xi and Yang Shijun, who were lying on the ground for no apparent reason, and walked towards the back of the team.
Shan Fang chuckled and said, "This person is quite sensible."
Ji Songxiang was speechless when she heard the words. She glanced at Shan Fang and found that she didn't realize there was anything wrong with saying this. She immediately pulled Zhao Jiamin away from her.
Wen Yuanyi realized that he was alone and ran to the back to stand with Qiu Huoming and others.
The aunt in the cafeteria prepared the meals very quickly, and soon Zhao Jiamin and the three of them had finished their meals and found empty seats.
Only then did Yang Shijun dare to speak, "You know so many people..."
"He came early. If he had known there would be so many benefits, I would have come earlier..." Chen Xi said.
"If we come early, there will be no one to pick us up at the station, so it's better to come on time." Wen Yuanyi said, "The school bus will pick us up...many people envy us!"
"That's right. Otherwise, when I first arrived in a big city, my eyes would go dark. When I first got off the bus, I couldn't even tell the difference between east, west, and north. Fortunately, Yuanyi was smart. He saw the people picking up people outside at a glance. brand."
Yang Shijun recalled that when he first arrived, he was still a little unfinished. Before he could finish speaking, he was already waiting in line. He quickly shut up and moved closer to the window to take a closer look at the cheap dishes.
(Tickets for the canteen of the College of Engineering)
Qiu Huoming and the four of them sat down at the table next to Zhao Jiamin and the others with their meals. There is a strange thing in college. The more beautiful the girls are, the more vacuum there is around them. This is probably the so-called timidity of men...
This has led to many school beauties being single or being taken over by crooked melons and jujubes.
As soon as he sat down, he heard Ji Songxiang from the next table asked: "Student Qiu, did you come up with all of today's speech by yourself?"
"Well, the time given is too little, otherwise I could expand on it..." Qiu Huo Mingyun said calmly.
"You are so brave. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to say a word." Ji Songxiang sighed.
"Nothing but thick skin..." Qiu Huoming laughed at himself.
"Pfft." Zhao Jiamin turned to look at him. How could anyone say that to her? Her eyes were bright, and the smile was hidden in her eyes and brows, as if a pool of spring water had opened...
For a moment when the autumn fire was bright, my heart seemed to have been hit by a blunt instrument...
A thought flashed through my mind: It's over, my old house is also on fire...
