Chapter 29 School
The next day, after finishing her morning chores, Gu Yihan packed her simple luggage and prepared to leave.
"Hanhan, why did you only bring this little bit of luggage? Why didn't you pack a blanket?" Grandma Gu looked at her granddaughter in surprise.
Gu Yihan was startled by her grandmother's sudden voice and said, "Grandma, the school gives them out, we don't need them from home."
"Grandma, it's getting late, I have to go now."
Grandma Gu put down the basket she was holding and said, "Grandma will take you to ride the oxcart."
Seeing this, Gu Yihan pulled Grandma Gu into the house: "Grandma, don't go to see her off anymore. The more you do this, the more reluctant you will be to leave. Grandma, your granddaughter will send you 5 yuan every month to support you in your old age. You don't need to go to work anymore."
Grandma Gu smiled and said, "No need, you can use it sparingly. The work I do is cutting pig feed, it's not tiring."
Gu Yihan said, "Grandma, your granddaughter is gone."
Grandma Gu didn't mention giving her granddaughter away anymore; she just nodded and waved.
Gu Yihan arrived at the village entrance, but the oxcart hadn't left yet: "Grandpa, when are you leaving?"
The old man with the oxcart chuckled and said, "Han girl, going to the commune? Get on the oxcart, we're leaving now."
After getting on the oxcart, Gu Yihan ignored the stares of others and leisurely arrived at the Red Flag Commune.
After getting off the bus, Gu Yihan took out the fare she had prepared in advance and two pieces of milk candy from her pocket and handed them to the old man who owned the oxcart.
He didn't give him a chance to speak and ran away.
The old man with the oxcart, holding a candy in his hand, called out, "Han girl, slow down."
Gu Yihan quickly arrived at the Public Security Bureau, went to the Household Registration Section, and found a staff member: "I need to process the household registration transfer procedures." After saying that, she took out the certificate issued by the brigade and the school admission notice.
The staff member, a young man in his early twenties, processed the paperwork very efficiently.
After buying a ticket to Jinyang City, Gu Yihan took a 6-hour bus ride to the city.
After entering the vocational school campus, she found the aunt who managed the girls' dormitory: "Auntie, I am Gu Yihan from Accounting Class 1. I would like to ask for the dormitory room number."
The dormitory supervisor looked at the registration form and said, "2nd floor, room 201."
Gu Yihan handed a White Rabbit milk candy to the dormitory auntie and said with a smile, "Thank you, Auntie."
The dorm auntie looked at the candy and said with a smile, "Just call me Aunt Chen from now on. If you have any questions, feel free to come to me."
"Okay, Aunt Chen, I'll go upstairs and make the bed." Gu Yihan went upstairs.
I found room 201, pushed the door open, but it wouldn't budge, so it seemed someone was inside.
"Thump, thump, thump."
Gu Yihan knocked on the door rhythmically, but after a while, there was still no response from inside.
She patiently knocked again: "Is anyone home? Is anyone inside?"
This time there was some noise inside: "What's all the noise about? Are you trying to call back the soul?"
Upon opening the door, Gu Yihan saw a woman dressed in a fashionable dress and sporting a perm.
When the woman saw Gu Yihan standing at the door, she noticed that Gu was wearing a gray dress, which, although unpatched, was faded from washing.
He looked at her with disdain: "Where did this country bumpkin come from?"
Gu Yihan ignored her and went straight into the dormitory, finding a lower bunk by the window. She spread out the blanket she had taken out of her spatial storage beforehand.
"Hey, I'm talking to you! Are you mute?" The woman in a dress stood in front of Gu Yihan and shouted.
Gu Yihan calmly glanced at her twice: "I'm not called 'Hey,' I'm called Gu Yihan. Please don't block my way, classmate."
The girl in the dress muttered, "Country bumpkin, what's with the attitude?"
Gu Yihan didn't have time to deal with this little girl's emotional outburst; she needed to get her household registration settled as soon as possible.
I found the accounting office, and there was a knock.
"Please come in," a pleasant voice said.
Gu Yihan walked into the office and saw only one exceptionally beautiful woman sitting at her desk. She had a delicate, fair face and an outstanding demeanor.
Gu Yihan said, "Hello teacher, I am Gu Yihan from Accounting Class 1. I would like to ask what documents are needed for household registration?"
The female teacher said gently, "Gu Yihan, please give me your documents and I will issue you a certificate for moving into the collective household registration."
Gu Yihan immediately took the documents out of her bag and gave them to the female teacher.
After issuing the certificate, the female teacher handed it to Gu Yihan and said, "Take these documents to the Public Security Bureau to handle the household registration transfer procedures. Explain to the police officers that you need to transfer your household registration because you are enrolling in the school."
Gu Yihan held up the certificate and said to the female teacher, "Thank you, teacher."
After leaving the police station, Gu Yihan held her new collective household registration certificate and looked up at the sky. The azure blue of the sky was unlike anything she had seen in her later life, and it marked the beginning of her new life.
As soon as Gu Yihan opened the dormitory door, she saw two unfamiliar girls. The girl in blue was pulling the hair of the girl in floral clothes, while the girl in floral clothes was pinching the ear of the girl in blue.
Gu Yihan was stunned for a moment. Had she gone to the wrong place? Then she stepped back out of the door and looked at the number 201 on the door. It was the right room!
"Hahaha, Gu Yihan, what are you standing there for?" Gu Yihan knew she hadn't come to the wrong place when she heard this arrogant voice.
The other person smoothed her curly hair with her hand, walked to Gu Yihan's side and said, "I haven't even had a chance to tell you my name yet, and you're already in a hurry to leave. My name is Su Nian."
Gu Yihan looked at the two fighting in the dormitory and asked Su Nian in confusion, "What's going on?"
Su Nian pouted: "They're mortal enemies. Our dorm will be lively from now on. The one in the blue dress is called An Ruo, and the one in the floral dress is called An Duo. They have the same surname but different families."
"Excuse me, could you please move aside?" The voice was so soft it was barely audible; if Gu Yihan hadn't been so good at hearing, she wouldn't have heard it at all.
Gu Yihan immediately turned her head and saw a hesitant girl standing at the door.
Looking at her and Su Nian awkwardly, he said, "Classmate... I, my name is Zhou Tingmei."
"What? Stop having sisters? How many sisters did your mother give birth to for you?" Su Nian said sarcastically.
Gu Yihan's eyes instantly reddened when she saw Zhou Tingmei, and she said aggrievedly, "I... I only have a younger brother, not a younger sister."
Su Nian was about to tease Zhou Tingmei when An Ruo interrupted her with a sharp voice: "You little bitch, I'm going to take the vocational school exam, and so are you. If you want to get close to Brother Jinghe, you'll have to see if I agree."
Ando retorted, "He and I are just classmates. Are you sick in the head, being so suspicious all the time?"
Gu Yihan went straight downstairs to Aunt Chen: "Aunt Chen, two of my roommates are having a fight, and we don't dare to break them up!"
Upon hearing this, Aunt Chen dropped what she was doing and stormed upstairs to room 201. "What's going on here?"
Aunt Chen was very strong and separated the two of them. She then gave them a thorough scolding: "You came to school to study, not to fight."
The two separated dared not speak out against their anger.
Looking at their expressions, Aunt Chen said angrily, "If I see you fighting again, I'll go straight to your homeroom teacher and put a demerit on your records."
Su Nian knew that Aunt Chen was brought by Gu Yihan, and secretly gave her a thumbs up.
