Chapter 54: No Disappointment
After a two-hour flight, Wu Tong arrived at Beijing Capital International Airport at 4:30 pm. After sending a message to her family that she had landed safely, she walked out of Terminal 3 and saw Professor Li waiting for her.
"Teacher Li!" Wu Tong smiled and waved, pushing the suitcase forward quickly, "Happy New Year! Please pick me up during the New Year!"
"Happy New Year, we finally meet again, Wu Tong!" Li Yisheng smiled and walked forward, taking a suitcase from Wu Tong's hand. "What's the trouble? In a few years, you may not even have the chance to take you in!"
This was to wish Wu Tong success and some people were rushing to pick her up at the airport.
"Thank you, Mr. Li, for your kind words. No matter what, I am still your student!"
As he spoke, Li Yishen led Wu Tong to find his car, which was a steady and majestic black color with a typical Volkswagen logo. As for what series it was, please forgive her for having basically no research on cars and only recognizing a few common logos.
"I'll take you to the school first to get you familiar with it, and then take you to have a meal." On the way back, Li Yishen and Wu Tong discussed the arrangements.
Traffic was smooth, which was rare to see in a big capital city on holiday. It only took about 30 minutes to reach the destination, a distance of more than 30 kilometers.
"This is the iconic gate of Peking University." Li Yisheng deliberately entered the school from the main gate and introduced it to Wu Tong: "This was once a plaque inscribed by Mr. Yuanpei. After our school moved to Yanyuan, in 1952, at the request of the Student Union, the chairman personally wrote it to Peking University and enlarged it to make the current plaque!"
The glorious history of Peking University begins from the moment you step through this door. It is a glory that is difficult to describe in a short time. When school starts in September, Wu Tong will also become a Peking University student. The sense of identity and belonging should be cultivated from now on.
Wu Tong looked out of the car window and saw a classical three-door vermilion-palace building facing east and west. It had a simple, solemn and elegant style, and a strong national flavor was overwhelming.
Wu Tong liked the speech of a president of Peking University about two years later because of a special case, "You are a Peking University student. If you see an old man fall down, you should help him. If he tries to blackmail you, the Peking University Law School will provide you with legal aid. If you lose the case, Peking University will compensate you!"
Such protection and domineering, she once sighed in her memory, thinking that as a student of this school, she would feel at ease! Now, she is about to officially become a student of this school, and today, she will enter this holy place that she once longed for to study.
Looking at the four big words "Peking University" in gold on a blue background, a slight smile crossed her lips. Her efforts were worth it. By entering Peking University, she had awakened her past life memories and taken the first small step towards change.
Wu Tong felt very happy to actually enter this school that she had never dared to dream of. Li Yisheng sent Wu Tong to the Shaoyuan Graduate Student Dormitory, "This is the Shaoyuan Doctoral Student Dormitory that Teacher Zhou applied for you!"
The university doesn't start that early, but Wu Tong had communicated in advance, and the school had arranged accommodation for Wu Tong before the holiday. Mr. Zhou from the Admissions Office was very impressed by his greatest achievement this year, and specially helped Wu Tong apply for a good accommodation.
The doctoral student dormitory can be said to be the best student dormitory in Peking University. This area is for outstanding direct doctoral students to live in single rooms. The rooms are not big, but have separate bathrooms and convenient living facilities.
The public kitchen is equipped with some simple electrical appliances such as refrigerators and microwave ovens. It is not easy for graduate students to apply for dormitories here.
"Thank you teachers for your hard work!" Wu Tong was very grateful.
When she didn't know, the teachers were silently worrying so much about her. It was really troublesome!
"Haha... You are good enough to impress Teacher Zhou. You should thank yourself for choosing Peking University. We, who are one step ahead of Peking University, must let you experience the humanistic feelings of Peking University!" Fearing that Wu Tong might have some psychological burden, Li Yisheng explained with a smile: "Otherwise, Teacher Zhou would have no chance to worry about you even if he wanted to!"
Although the cooked duck cannot escape, identifying with Kyoto University from the bottom of one's heart and doing it reluctantly are two completely different results. As university teachers, they are very clear about this.
For students like Wu Tong, they naturally hope that their children can have a stronger sense of belonging to Peking University.
In the dormitory, there was a single bed placed in the middle, with a bookshelf and desk next to it. The bedding and sheets were all basic. Wu Tong took a quick look and found that all the resting conditions were met. She didn't see anything that she needed to buy.
After getting to know the place and helping Wu Tong put his luggage into the dormitory, Li Yishen took Wu Tong to eat first. They didn't go anywhere else, just to Shaoyuan Canteen, so that Wu Tong could get familiar with the place where they usually ate.
"Now that Kyoto University has not officially opened, most faculty and students are on vacation. However, the school has considered the convenience of students staying on campus. Most of the campus canteens are closed or in shifts during the Spring Festival. Now they are basically open to provide meals for teachers and students who stay on campus. There are many choices, so there is no need to worry about eating.
Let's go to Shaoyuan Restaurant now. It's a good choice for a bite to eat and it's the closest to the dormitory building!"
The cafeteria at Kyoto University is reliable. The cooking skills are not rare, but for a school cafeteria, it is still good. Especially the Shaoyuan Restaurant, many graduates will have dinner here, hold a thank-you banquet for teachers, etc., and it can be said to be delicious.

After dinner, Wu Tong took out two boxes of tea prepared at home and handed them over with a smile.
"Teacher Li, this is our province's specialty, Shenzhou Maojian tea. The place of origin is not far from my home, in the city next to us, Shenzhou. This is what my uncle got from the place of origin. Let me give you a taste. What's the difference between this and the tea in Shangjing!"
Shenzhou Maojian is quite famous in the Central Plains Province. Most of the people who entertain guests there use Maojian tea, but the quality of the tea used varies from family to family.
Jinyuan has many friends and some high-quality old customers to maintain. Every year, he will go to the tea-producing area to buy a lot of high-quality Maojian tea during the tea-picking season. He made a friend in the tea-producing area, whose family is in Xihe and runs a tea garden.
"You can drink it later. I'll bring some back for you when I go home. My uncle goes to the place of production every year, so the quality and authenticity of the channel are guaranteed. It's very authentic!"
This time, thinking about Wu Tong's trip to Beijing, the professor took great care of him. The whole family was grateful, and it was the Chinese New Year, so they wanted to prepare some New Year gifts for the teachers.
Other things were not easy to take, and the tea happened to be elegant, so Wu Tong was given some special Maojian tea to keep as a gift to her teacher. Wu Tong was new here, and she didn't know the rules here, so it was not easy to go directly to Professor Li's door, so she didn't bother to be polite and gave it to him in person.
"Teacher has received your kindness. Don't be so polite next time!" Li Yishen said with annoyance, but he accepted the gift after all. It was the end of the year, and it was a token of kindness from the child. He would ask his wife to prepare some convenient meals and send them to the child. If he gets hungry while studying, he can eat his fill. Children of this age are still growing!
The boy in his family is only two or three years younger than Wu Tong. He has entered a period of rapid growth and development in the past two years. When he comes home, he is like a hungry wolf and wants to stuff everything into his mouth.
