Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

On the third day after Sun Zhengguo started working at the Second Steel Rolling Mill, Tsinghua University officially opened.

"Zhengguo, please go back to school at noon. Your graduation certificate has been processed, and you also have a letter of introduction for your assignment. They are all with your teacher Chen. I will give you half a day off in the afternoon. You can go to the Ministry of Metallurgy to complete the entry procedures first, so that you can get your salary earlier."

At around 9 o'clock in the morning, Professor Wu received a call and hurried to the warehouse to tell Sun Zhengguo the good news.

"Really? Mr. Wu, how could it be so fast? Today is only the first day of school. The school is really fast in doing things."

Upon hearing the news, Sun Zhengguo showed an excited expression and even spoke a lot louder.

"How can this be false? I just received a call. Special matters should be handled specially! The leader of the Ministry of Metallurgy has called the school. How can we not be quick?"

"Hehe! I have to thank Mr. Wu for that. Without your advice, it wouldn't have been so smooth."

"Then you are wrong! I admit that it was true in the past, but now all of this is due to your own efforts. Don't underestimate yourself. In the metallurgical system, you are now famous."

The two chatted briefly, and Professor Wu had a lot to do, so he hurried back to the workshop.

Sun Zhengguo worked until noon. After lunch, he gave some instructions to Brother Chen and asked him to take charge. Then he hurriedly rode his bike to school.

On campus, Zheng Wenhua, who had just finished lunch, happened to meet Sun Zhengguo who was rushing over.

"Jungguk, why are you here just now? Today is the first day of school, why is your name not on the roll call?"

"Culture, I'm not going to school anymore. I'm here to get some things today and say goodbye to my classmates."

Zheng Wenhua's eyes suddenly widened, his face full of disbelief.

"Zhengguo, you can't do anything stupid. We still have half a year to graduate. Why are you suspending your studies and not even getting your diploma? No! I need to ask Teacher Chen for clarification."

Seeing his old friend's anxious look, Sun Zhengguo couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. The two had been classmates for many years. Although they usually made fun of each other when they met, it did not affect their friendship at all.

Seeing that Zheng Wenhua was about to go find Teacher Chen, Sun Zhengguo, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, grabbed him.

"Culture is not what you think. I came back to get my diploma because I have been assigned to the Ministry of Metallurgy."

After hearing what Sun Zhengguo said, Zheng Wenhua, who had calmed down, was stunned.

Sun Zhengguo graduated early and was assigned a job early, how come I didn’t know about it?

"When did it happen? Why hasn't there been any news at all?"

"It all happened during the holidays, so you didn't know. It was all arranged by Professor Wu."

"Congratulations, Zhengguo. No one will insult me ​​anymore."

Although Zheng Wenhua said this, his eyes were obviously red.

"Wenhua, don't worry. Although I'm leaving school, I'm still with Professor Wu. I'll have many opportunities to come back to school in the future. So, I promise that I'll hurt you every time I come. Is that okay?"

"Forget it! How can you comfort others like this? You should just leave as soon as possible, you are such a nuisance!"

The two of them joked around for a while, and when they saw that their old friend was in a better mood, Sun Zhengguo temporarily left and went to Teacher Chen's office.

In the office, Chen Bocheng was holding a teacup in his hand, thinking quietly.

"Teacher Chen."

A voice brought Chen Bocheng, who was thinking about something, back to reality.

He looked up in the direction of the voice and immediately smiled.

"Jungguk is here. You're so quick. I just got two notifications on my first day at work, and they're both related to you. I can only say, you did a great job."

"hey-hey!"

"Thank you, Mr. Chen. This is all thanks to Professor Wu's help. Otherwise, how could I have such a great honor?"

Chen Bocheng was delighted to see that his student was still as humble as ever.

As the actual manager of the class, how could he not know? What did Sun Zhengguo do during this period of time?

"Okay! You don't have to be so modest. If you don't have any skills, the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Metallurgy wouldn't be able to call the school to ask for someone."

After saying this, Teacher Chen opened the drawer under the table, took out the graduation certificate and letter of introduction that he had prepared long ago, and handed them to Sun Zhengguo.

"Thank you, Teacher Chen!"

Sun Zhengguo took the graduation certificate and letter of introduction with both hands, bowed respectfully and said thank you.

Looking at the graduation certificate in his hand, Sun Zhengguo was filled with thoughts. After so many years in this world and his unremitting efforts, he finally got it today.

“Jungguk, how about I organize a farewell party for you this afternoon?”

"No, no, no! Teacher Chen, the tasks in the factory are tight, and I have to go to the Metallurgical Department to start work this afternoon. I'm afraid I don't have time."

Sun Zhengguo reacted and quickly refused.

"Okay! Then, the teacher will accompany you there and say a simple goodbye to your classmates!"

"Thank you, Mr. Chen."

For fear of delaying Sun Zhengguo's business, the two of them discussed it and then went to the classroom.

In the classroom, when the students saw Teacher Chen and Sun Zhengguo walk in, they were a little puzzled. What was going on?

"Classmates, today I have good news to share with you. Sun Zhengguo from our class has graduated ahead of schedule with excellent grades and has been assigned to work in the Ministry of Metallurgy. Now please give Sun Zhengguo a warm round of applause and welcome him to say a few words to us."

"Bah bang bang...!"

When the applause stopped, Sun Zhengguo walked to the front, faced the gazes of his classmates, adjusted his thoughts, and then began to preach.

"Dear classmates, at this moment of separation, I would like to express my most sincere blessings and gratitude to you all! ……"

“We have spent many wonderful times together, learning and growing together. Here, we have not only gained knowledge, but also forged deep friendships…”

"Finally, I wish everyone can realize their dreams and have a bright future. Thank you all!"

"Bah bang bang...!"

When the applause stopped, Teacher Chen said a few more words of encouragement before leaving.

The rest of the time was left to Sun Zhengguo, allowing him to chat with his classmates alone. It would definitely not be convenient with the teacher present.

Sure enough, as soon as Teacher Chen left, all the students gathered around and asked a lot of questions, and Sun Zhengguo answered them one by one.

It was almost time for class in the afternoon when Sun Zhengguo gave everyone his final instructions.

After leaving the classroom, Sun Zhengguo informed several teachers one by one.

Several teachers also gave encouragement.

Before leaving, Sun Zhengguo took another look at the famous arched door, then he got into the car without hesitation and drove away.
