Chapter 659 The 80s (8)
"Can we really cut in line?" After a long pause, Bei Qianqian screamed.
"Of course it's true."
"Can I buy it now? My grandfather is getting old and his legs aren't very strong. I heard that the plasters from Huo Family Pharmaceutical Factory are very effective, but I can only buy one or two pieces. Any more than that is simply unavailable." Bei Qianqian said helplessly.
“Okay, I’ll give it to you in a couple of days.” Wangyou nodded.
"Um, Wangyou, could I also buy some and send them to my family?" Lin Yanran and Qingyan said in unison.
"Okay, I'll bring it to you in a couple of days. I'll also bring you a bottle of health-preserving pills, a new medicine, which should be available in a couple of days."
"Yes, yes, yes! How much is it? Even brothers keep clear accounts. I can't let you get a bargain. You know, there are plenty of people outside who can't buy it even with the money!" Lin Yanran said first.
"Of course we have to pay, the cost of that medicine is not low." Wangyou smiled, and the girls' relationship immediately became much closer.
After the girls went shopping, ate, and settled themselves in, it was quite late.
The next day, the ten-day military training would begin, but there were only four of us, from four different majors, so we wouldn't be together at all.
Lin Yanran is a foreign language major, and her dream is to become a qualified diplomat.
Qingyan majored in education and aspires to become an outstanding teacher.
Bei Qianqian is a finance major, and her family really does have a lot of wealth to inherit.
Wangyou majored in Chinese literature, a major that suited her well—few people and little work.
The person in charge of military training was actually Chi Yu. I don't know how he got the job, but I'll just pretend I don't know him.
After all, although she was a novice, she knew that someone like Chi Yu was never short of admirers. Getting close to him was no different from walking into trouble, and she hated trouble the most.
"That Instructor Chi is so handsome, I even want to join the army."
"Soldiers are so handsome, I wonder if he has a girlfriend?"
There were countless such voices around her. Wangyou looked at her roommates. Fortunately, her roommates were all the kind of people who had dreams. Although she admired them, she had no other thoughts on them.
"Huo Wangyou, you have no conscience at all! You're pretending not to know me?"
"Do we know each other well?" Wangyou had figured this guy out during their military training. He didn't have any bad intentions; he was the kind of guy who was cool and roguish, and being young, he always had a bit of a show-off mentality.
"Never mind, my mom said she'll come over for dinner if she has time after military training ends."
"I understand. Please thank Auntie for me. I'll go back when I have time, but I need to go to the library to look up information, so I probably won't be able to go for the time being."
"Alright then!" Chi Yu turned and left.
The conversation between the two took place in secret, so no one knew about it.
School life was busy and fulfilling. Of course, her other three roommates were probably the ones who were busy. Wangyou was still quite relaxed every day. Although her coursework was heavy, she had a good memory and even better comprehension, so she was very relaxed.
She still had the energy to attend classes with her three roommates, wandering around and looking at things. Once, she went to audit a class in the chemistry department and accidentally did an experiment. She was caught by the chemistry professor, who recognized her. She was so scared that she never dared to go again.
Professor Sun from the Chemistry Department went to inquire after Wangyou ran off. He wondered why the girl was sneaking around to get into university. Wasn't she supposed to wait until she was eighteen to take the college entrance exam? She came when she was sixteen.
He needs to find out which major admitted him.
Professor Sun kept asking around, from the Chemistry Department to the Physics Department and then to the Mathematics Department, only to find that none of the three departments had such a person. Then, the professors in the three departments who knew Wangyou couldn't sit still anymore.
They couldn't sit still, so they went to bother the principal. The principal investigated for them for a whole day and found that a promising science and engineering student had gone to slack off in the Chinese Literature Department.
Then, the Chinese literature professor was sitting in his office when a disaster struck him!
When the teachers from the Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry departments came to ask, Professor Wang from the Chinese Department was preparing his lecture when several people suddenly barged in and said they were looking for a student from their Chinese Department who needed to be transferred to another department.
Left with no other choice, Wangyou was summoned.
Professor Wang recognized her immediately – wasn't she the girl who kowtowed on the desk during class?
"Professor Wang, I'm not transferring departments. I love the Chinese Literature Department the most!" Wangyou said earnestly and righteously.
"You love the Chinese department the most, so aren't you the one who's always dreaming during my class?" Professor Wang looked incredulous.
"Professor Wang, I was just discussing the textbook with Zhou Gong (the Duke of Zhou, a figure in Chinese mythology)." Wangyou said seriously. She didn't want to leave the Chinese department. If she left, she was afraid she wouldn't have such a leisurely life anymore.
Even professors can't force students to transfer to another department if they don't want to, so they can only regretfully leave temporarily.
"Huo Wangyou, since you're discussing the text with Zhou Gong, why don't you go back and write an article of at least 10,000 words on it?" Professor Wangyou said cheerfully.
Forget your worries: This sudden increase in workload.
But she had no choice but to agree, and could only leave the office with a pained expression. However, once she left Professor Wang's office, the pain on her face vanished.
Ten thousand words? No problem. She'll finish it in no time.
But soon Wangyou discovered that her life would not be peaceful from that day on. She would run into a chemistry professor when she went to the cafeteria, a physics professor when she went to the library, and even a math professor when she just squatted down and daydreamed on the street.
After it happened many times, Wangyou finally gave in and agreed to occasionally audit some classes, but that was all.
Occasionally, Wangyou would also draw up some weapon blueprints and give them to them. At this time, their country was short of money and weapons. Although the development of nuclear weapons had freed them from foreign threats, technology was still a weakness for them.
Huo Family Pharmaceutical Factory currently has no traditional Chinese medicine products that can be sold abroad because they are not evenly distributed domestically. However, she is not only skilled in traditional Chinese medicine; she is also very proficient in Western medicine.
Therefore, using the chemistry department's laboratory, Wangyou developed an antiviral agent that could resist 90% of viral invasions, and at least the incidence of infectious diseases after injection would be reduced to zero.
It would have been difficult not to develop this drug, but once it was developed, they found that it was very easy to use. Then they discovered that all the equipment in the laboratory had been modified, which made the drug production seem much simpler.
Once the bomb was dropped, Wangyou simply shrugged and left it at that, leaving such matters to those who should be concerned.
While those who have forgotten their worries may find peace and quiet, others may not. And yet they're exporting; let's arrange things for our own people first.
Two years passed by in this way, and it was 1988. That year, Wangyou had just turned eighteen.
