…
When the plane landed in Beijing, Wang Zhaozhao and his friends had two choices: one was to take a taxi, and the other was to take a bus.
After a few people discussed it, they decided to take a taxi directly to the school gate since it was already evening.
Even if you want to stay in a guesthouse, you must choose one that is close by.
There are no taxis in Lianshan City and Zhushan County. Xu Renjie said that there were taxis in the provincial capital last year, but he has never taken one.
They sought help from staff and were told to go to a taxi stand to hail a car.
There were not many taxis, and I waited for a while before one came. After I got in, the taxi said I was going to Huazhong University of Science and Technology.
The driver was a sturdy man and very talkative.
He said he used to be a car soldier and had been driving a taxi for two years.
I'm also curious: are Wang Zhaozhao and the others visiting Beijing for the summer? Are they here to visit Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUUST) and maybe apply there in the future?
But at this time, although it gets dark late in the summer, it’s time to get off work and leave early.
Moreover, they were not allowed to visit Hua University, so they could only look from the outside and had to quickly find a guesthouse or hotel to stay.
Xu Renjie found an opportunity to interject, "We're not here to have fun, we're here to register at Hua University."
This sentence made the talkative driver stunned for a while.
"You little kids, are you kidding me? How old are you? And it's summer vacation now." The driver turned his head to look at Xu Renjie who was sitting in the passenger seat, and then glanced at Wang Zhaozhao and the other two who were sitting in the back.
"Uncle, if you don't believe me, don't leave in a hurry after we drop us off at the main gate." Xu Renjie grinned.
driver:"……!"
"Hey! Okay, it's just a quick chat, I can wait."
Hearing this, Xu Renjie smiled.
Wang Zhaozhao and the others in the back seat looked at each other and thought to themselves, what the driver said is right, it is already past the working hours, they may have to find a guesthouse to stay in first and report tomorrow morning.
I don’t have any certificate required to go out, but with my admission letter, I should be able to stay in a guesthouse.
Otherwise, you can only find a hotel...
Xu Renjie's intention: as long as the driver hears their conversation with Weimen, he should look at them differently and will not cheat them.
Nowadays, people have a certain respect for scholars, especially college students.
When we arrived, we calculated the transportation fee, which was a huge amount of money.
Eighty cents per kilometer, thirty kilometers, a total of twenty-four yuan, almost a month's salary for an ordinary worker.
Wang Zhaozhao and the others felt heartbroken. If they divided the cost equally, each person would have to pay six dollars.
Six dollars... can buy several pounds of meat.
For them, it can buy several books.
Wang Zhaozhao suddenly understood why her grandmother would yell every time she felt that they were spending money recklessly.
It really is that kind of heart-wrenching feeling that makes you unable to breathe.
No matter how heartbroken you are, you still have to get off the bus.
The driver helped them move the luggage down, and Xu Renjie smiled and asked the driver whether he wanted to wait here for a while or walk a few steps and go with them.
The driver smiled and followed them.
"Hello, uncle. We are here to register. Here is my acceptance letter and the letter from the school telling us to register on the 6th..."
There was a glass window with iron bars in the guard room facing the outside. Xu Renjie handed over something while talking.
The security guard took it and slowly put on his glasses. He looked at the admission notice, then at the letter. He looked up and asked, "Why are you here so late? The teachers are all off work now, so there's no one to handle your paperwork."
"The plane leaves at this time...so we can only come tomorrow?"
"What are you doing tomorrow?"
The uncle raised his eyes and said, "You still want to waste money to stay in a guesthouse? The girls behind you should also show me their information. Please fill in the registration form and fill in the details. After that, I will take you to the dormitory. The dormitory manager will arrange for you to stay first, and we will handle the formalities tomorrow."
"That's great. Thank you, uncle." Xu Renjie stepped aside to make it easier for Wang Zhaozhao and the others to hand over the information.
He went to talk to the dumbfounded taxi driver.
"Uncle, thank you. We can stay at the school tonight instead of going to the guesthouse."
"You guys really came to register? It's summer vacation... and you don't look that old."
"This...it's hard to say more. Anyway, I didn't lie, right?"
"Okay, I understand. You're a smart young man. You deserve to be admitted to Hua University."
The driver said something with a smile, then got back into the car, started the engine and drove away.
Over there, the guard had come out and opened the door, and several people dragged the boxes in.
After filling out the registration form at the guard room, I was led to the dormitory.
Boys and girls are in different buildings. First, go to the girls' dormitory, hand Wang Zhaozhao and the other three over to the dormitory supervisor, and then take Xu Renjie to the boys' dormitory.
When the dormitory supervisor was checking the dormitory list, Wang Zhaozhao noticed that they were all in the same dormitory and that the other name was Chu Changying.
This should be special care?!
The dormitory number was 210. The teacher took the dormitory key and led them upstairs.
"It's no exaggeration to say this is the newest and best dormitory building, with its own bathroom. They've all been specially equipped with modular beds, the kind with a bed underneath a desk and a small wardrobe...
But compared to what you guys stayed at the Red Beard Center last year, it’s definitely a far cry.”
Wang Zhaozhao and the other two were shocked. Didn't this teacher know too much? Could this not be her own gossip?!
"We are here to study. The dormitory just needs to be safe and quiet. It doesn't require to be very comfortable." Xu Yanni said with a smile.
Hearing this, the teacher nodded.
arrive.
The teacher opened the door and turned on the light.
Wang Zhaozhao and the others were indeed impressed. This dormitory looked really nice and was definitely the best among the dormitories.
"Judging from your looks, you must be very tired today. You should pack your luggage first. I will get you daily necessities, bedding, mats and so on," said the teacher.
"Thank you, teacher."
Wang Zhaozhao and the others were moved. They were really tired.
I got up at 5:00 in the morning, got on the bus, sat for four hours, and got off.
Wait for the bus, get on, sit for nearly an hour, and get off.
Wait for the plane for two hours, get on the plane, sit for three hours, and get off the plane.
I walked through the long passage, got the car, exited the airport, found the taxi stand, got in the taxi, and it took nearly an hour to drive 30 kilometers with stops and starts.
Luggage was dragged here and there and moved up and down.
Just now, when Wang Zhaozhao was dragging the suitcase from the school gate to the dormitory and carrying the suitcase upstairs, he was relying on his willpower to hold on, and Xu Yanni and Chen Pei were even more so.
From then on, they had a more concrete understanding of the term "travel fatigue".
