The nine dormitory buildings were built before the liberation, with four floors and red walls. The dormitories had wooden floors, which made a thumping sound when people walked on them. The beds were also made of wooden bunks, which would make a creaking sound if they pressed a little harder.

There is a dark corridor in the middle of the dormitory building, with rooms on both sides and bathrooms at both ends. The old dormitory building has a sense of age. Today is the first day of registration. Male comrades can enter the female dormitory building, but most of the new students come to register alone. After all, young people nowadays are very independent and have strong self-care ability. They look down on those who have not "cut off their virginity".

There are very few people like Ruan Qiqi who are escorted to school.

[The author has no intention of mocking others. Young people in the 1970s were indeed very independent.]

There are four bunk beds in dormitory 309, but only six people are accommodated in it. There is a note attached to each bed with a person's name on it.

"Qiqi, you stay on the upper bunk. I'll go get some water!"

Lu Ye put down his luggage, picked up the basin and went to the water room to fetch water. Ruan Qiqi sat down to rest, she was still a little sleepy.

Two people have already come into the dormitory. One is a girl with slightly dark skin. She is wearing a floral shirt, black pants and cloth shoes. Her long black hair is tied into a thick and long braid that hangs in front of her chest.

Ruan Qiqi glanced at the bed where the girl was sitting. Xu Erfeng, probably that was the girl's name.

Someone was making the mattress on Xu Erfeng's upper bunk, and the note read "Zheng Jingyun".

Zheng Jingyun had already hung up the mosquito net. She opened the net and smiled at Ruan Qiqi, "Hello, my name is Zheng Jingyun, an educated youth from the Great Northern Wilderness."

"Hello, I'm Ruan Qiqi, from Tanzhou."

Ruan Qiqi responded politely.

"My name is Xu Erfeng, I'm from Xiangxi. My area had the most bandits, but they're gone now."

Xu Erfeng smiled innocently and introduced herself.

"The food there is delicious."

Ruan Qiqi had a very good impression of Xiangxi: the mountains are beautiful, the people are beautiful, and the food is even more delicious.

"The food my mother cooks is delicious. When you come to visit me in the future, ask my mother to prepare delicious food for you." Xu Erfeng said with a naive smile.

"OK!"

Ruan Qiqi agreed. She was not just saying it for show; she really wanted to go.

Xu Erfeng likes to talk and can never keep silent. Zheng Jingyun is older and has a calmer personality. After making the bed, she also sits quietly and listens to them chatting.

"Your brother is so nice. My brother only bullies me. After marrying my sister-in-law, he treats me worse than a stranger."

Xu Erfeng glanced at Lu Ye who was working hard and was extremely envious.

"It's my man, I'm married."

Ruan Qiqi smiled.

"Oh, you two are such a perfect match!"

Xu Erfeng was not too surprised. In her hometown, it was common for girls to get married at the age of 16 or 17. She was still unmarried at the age of 20, which made her an anomaly in her hometown. It was embarrassing.

But she doesn't care about all these gossips at all, and still lives happily. Now she has become a glorious worker-peasant-soldier student!

Zheng Jingyun looked surprised. She glanced at Ruan Qiqi, then at Lu Ye who was wearing a military uniform, with envy in her eyes.

"Qiqi, the bed is ready. Here are the meal tickets. I'll put them in the drawer for you!"

Lu Ye was very skillful and in no time he had made the bed and nailed a bed curtain. Ruan Qiqi liked to have her own private space, and the mosquito net was transparent, so a bed curtain would provide more privacy.

"Well, go back!"

Ruan Qiqi nodded. She just wanted to go to bed and sleep. She was so sleepy.

"Leave your bike downstairs. Call me when you're on holiday and I'll pick you up."

Lu Ye was reluctant to leave, as he wouldn't see her again for six days. He already started missing her before she left.

"Got it. I'm going to sleep."

Ruan Qiqi yawned loudly, her eyes sparkling with water, looking so adorable.

Lu Ye felt a little regretful because there were too many people in the dormitory, otherwise he would have to hug his wife and kiss her at least ten times.

"I'm leaving!"

Lu Ye walked out the door, but soon walked back, took out a handful of money from his pocket and stuffed it into her pocket, "I forgot to give you the money, buy whatever you want to eat, and call me if it's not enough."

"I manage all the money in the house, have you forgotten?"

Ruan Qiqi glared, returned the money, and added some more, "Here's your pocket money!"

Lu Ye put it in his pocket with a smile, pinched her face lightly, and then left.

Xu Erfeng was laughing as she watched from the side.

"You two have such a good relationship."

Zheng Jingyun, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up, her tone full of envy.

"They are newlyweds, so they must have a good relationship."

Ruan Qiqi said it casually without any shyness, and climbed onto the bed to sleep.

Xu Erfeng and Zheng Jingyun were both very tactful people. They walked on tiptoe and tried not to make any noise so as not to disturb Ruan Qiqi.

"307, 308, wow, 309, I finally found it!"

A girl's happy voice came from the door. It could be heard that she had a warm and lively personality. She didn't rush in, but stood at the door chatting with people.

"I live in Room 309. Come visit me when you have time!"

"Okay, I'm at 311, not far away."

The two had obviously just met, but they were already very familiar with each other.

The door was pushed open and a young woman rushed in carrying a suitcase. The woman looked to be in her early twenties, with an oval face, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and short hair. She looked like a person with a lot of energy and vitality.

"You're here so early. My name is Li Yuqin, and I'm from Hengzhou."

Li Yuqin took the initiative to greet everyone. She lived in the lower bunk of Ruan Qiqi.

She carelessly placed her luggage on the bed, causing it to creak.

"Student Ruan on the upper bunk is sleeping, be quiet." Xu Erfeng couldn't help but remind him.

"Oops, I didn't know. I'm sorry!"

Li Yuqin embarrassedly slowed down her movements and even walked more lightly. She wanted to make the bed, but was afraid of waking Ruan Qiqi, so she was hesitant for a moment.

"It's okay, you guys do your thing, I sleep very soundly."

Ruan Qiqi lifted the curtain and said.

Today is the day for new students to register, so the dormitory must be very lively. She can't ask everyone to cooperate with her just because she is sleepy. Although she is crazy, she is also reasonable.

"Did I wake you up just now? Sorry, I have a naturally loud voice."

Li Yuqin said with a smile.

"No, I wasn't asleep anyway, just pack your bags and don't worry about me!"

Ruan Qiqi smiled, simply opened the tent, and leaned on the quilt to rest.

"I'm an electrician in the motor factory. I'm the only female electrician in the factory. My father is an eighth-level electrician. He is particularly patriarchal and wants to train my brother to be his successor. Unfortunately, my brother is not interested in being an electrician. Do you know what my brother is doing now?"

Li Yuqin was very talkative. After making the bed, she started chatting animatedly with Xu Erfeng and the others.

"fitter?"

Xu Erfeng guessed.

"It shouldn't be. Your brother must be doing a business that makes your father very unhappy. It's not machinery or electronics, but probably a business with more lesbians." Zheng Jingyun analyzed.

"You're so smart. My brother is a tailor now, hahahaha... My brother likes making clothes. He is now a sample maker in a garment factory. When he first went to learn tailoring, my dad was so angry that he wanted to sever the father-son relationship with him. Later, my brother did a decent job and their relationship eased. Then my dad wanted to train my brother, but guess what my brother did?"

Li Yuqin is a natural storyteller. Ordinary things spoken from her mouth are particularly infectious and attract people to listen.

Ruan Qiqi no longer felt sleepy and asked with interest, "Is your brother going to dance?"

[The dormitory building is a true portrayal of the author's college life. The appearance is similar to the picture, but it has four floors. It was also built before liberation. Walking is very loud, and the bed creaks as well. I especially miss my college life, as well as the delicious food and beautiful scenery of Changsha, and the red maples of Yuelu Mountain. The maple leaves should be red now.]
