Chapter 081
There was a bang sound.
Brilliant colorful fireworks bloomed in the dark night sky.
When the fireworks faded, the night sky fell into a deep and boundless tranquility again.
In the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival.
The sound of firecrackers continued until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
The Spring Festival ends with a celebration on the first full moon night of the new year.
The New Year ends with the last shot of the Lantern Festival.
The fact that Jiang Guanjie failed to get into university was no longer a new thing in the alley. The Jiang family no longer had the pride and satisfaction of being superior to others. Jiang Guanjie also began a new round of preparation for the exam.
Han Ting sent a letter from the countryside, telling his family that he had not been admitted to university. With just a few simple sentences, he ended the Han family's expectations and fantasies about his return to the city.
Wang Cuiying was so angry that she couldn't help but curse the little bastard a few more times.
***
The aftertaste of the New Year has faded.
The early morning sun shines on the alley, no different from previous years.
Tang Haikuan came out of the gate of Yard No. 8 carrying a travel bag.
Wu Xuemei and Chuxia followed him. When they stepped out of the gate, Wu Xuemei turned around and asked Chuxia, "Have you brought everything you need? Everything else is fine, but the main thing is the admission letter. You won't be able to register without it."
Chu Xia nodded while carrying her schoolbag, "Yes, I have everything. I checked several times."
The Lantern Festival was yesterday and Peking University officially opened today and everyone reported to school. For this purpose, Tang Haikuan and Wu Xuemei both took a day off today. The couple sent Chuxia to school to report together.
When you meet your neighbors while walking in the alley, you can't help but say hello to them with a smile.
When they heard that Chuxia was going to register at school today, they were naturally envious and said with a smile: "Chuxia has made you proud. When Chuxia finishes college and graduates, you will enjoy the good life with her."
Tang Haikuan responded with a smile: "I still have to study in college for four years. Who knows what it will be like after graduation."
People knew he was being modest and were deliberately holding back. He then added, "What can it be like? Go to the best university, get the best job, and enjoy the greatest happiness."
Chuxia had to rush to report to school, so she didn't waste any time talking and just exchanged a few pleasantries before leaving.
Because the school is quite far away, it would take two hours to ride a bicycle at normal speed, so Tang Haikuan, Wu Xuemei and Chu Xia took the bus to save time and effort.
It takes about fifty minutes by bus.
While sitting on the bus, Wu Xuemei was even more nervous and anxious than Chuxia. She kept her ears perked up to listen to the station announcements, fearing that she would accidentally miss her stop and delay Chuxia's registration at school.
In addition to being nervous, Wu Xuemei also nags to Chuxia: "The school is a little far from home. Don't run back and forth on weekdays. You will definitely not be able to make it in time for school. Just live in the school dormitory and come home when you are free on Sundays. Your father and I are not around anymore. You have to take care of yourself when you live alone in school. Don't save money..."
Seeing Wu Xuemei's state, Chu Xia couldn't help laughing, "Mom, I'm not a fresh graduate from high school, and I'm not a child anymore, have you forgotten? I've been living in the countryside for almost two years, what can't I handle?"
Wu Xuemei was so nervous that she forgot about it, but she still said, "Then Mom can't be completely relieved."
Chu Xia smiled and hugged Wu Xuemei's arm, "Okay, I will take good care of myself. Anyway, I am close to home. If I have anything, I will take a bus back to find you."
Wu Xuemei: "Well, if you have any problems, go home and see your parents."
Chuxia didn't feel anything when sitting in the car.
But when she got off the bus and walked towards the school, especially when she saw the school gate, her heartbeat began to accelerate uncontrollably and she became nervous and excited unconsciously.
Then every few steps toward the gate, she would take a deep breath.
Because what she is heading towards at this moment is not just a school, but a brand new future and a brand new life that belongs to her.
After entering the school gate.
When I saw the red banner with the three big words "Welcome Station" printed on it, everything became clear.
On the first day of school, I am naturally busy with miscellaneous tasks.
After reporting in with the admission letter, I collected my daily necessities and looked for a dormitory. After I found the dormitory, I cleaned it up and made the bed. That was the simple way to settle down.
Tang Haikuan and Wu Xuemei were afraid that if they stayed any longer they would be in the way and delay Chuxia's business, so after helping Chuxia make her bed in the dormitory, they went home first.
Of course, they took another walk around the school before leaving.
This way, if their neighbors ask them about what happened at school when they get home, they can also tell them more about what happened at school.
After Tang Haikuan and Wu Xuemei left, Chuxia naturally stayed in the dormitory.
There were eight people living in their dormitory. As other people came in with their luggage, they began to greet and get to know each other.
Because this year's candidates are rather special, the eight people in Chuxia's dormitory have different ages.
When all eight people arrived, Chuxia was the youngest among them.
The eight people have different ages, experiences, and come from different places.
But because they all went through the college entrance examination and got here, they still have common topics to talk about.
As long as we talk about the intense pre-exam review and the application for college, there is never an end to the topic.
When it comes to filling out their applications, others also said that they did not apply to the Department of Economics.
Some applied to the Chinese Department, some to the History Department or the Library Department.
When asked, I found out that Chuxia applied to the Economics Department.
Others curiously asked her: "Why did you sign up for this? What exactly does this major teach?"
I haven't learned it in Chuxia, so naturally I can't say anything specific.
She just smiled and said, "I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to get into the popular major, so I applied for an unpopular one."
In that case, no one else asked any more questions.
They all thought that it might be because their test scores were not high enough that they were assigned to this major that not many people applied for.
It’s not too much, it’s all assigned to me, so just study hard.
In such a school, you can learn a lot no matter what major you study.
After everyone had checked in and settled in, the department notified all teachers and students to hold a freshman meeting.
The freshman meeting is nothing more than getting to know the teachers in their department, getting a general understanding of the department's situation through getting to know the teachers, and then dealing with specific matters such as dividing into classes and groups.
Their department currently only offers one major, political economy.
A total of eighty students were admitted in this college entrance examination, divided into two classes and eight groups.
Because there are fewer girls, most groups only have two girls, and only a few have three girls.
While getting to know their professional teachers, every time after learning about each teacher, everyone couldn't help but let out a long exclamation of admiration and subconsciously applauded hard.
Because the faculty of this class is very strong, all the teachers are masters, and some of them published articles in top American economic journals more than 30 years ago.
After understanding the basic situation and getting to know all the professional teachers, the department head also discussed with everyone the future campus life.
The campus is a place for learning, and what we imagine is naturally study life.
We have all experienced those ten years and have studied hard for a long time. Now that we have been admitted to university and entered the campus, we have such an opportunity and of course we all have to study hard.
Here, apart from studying, nothing else matters.
After saying all this with great emotion and passion, the department head also talked about the school rules and regulations at the end.
No matter where you are, as long as there are a lot of people, they need rules and discipline to restrain them. Without rules, they will be a mess.
Among these rules and regulations, in addition to some soft disciplines, such as paying attention to hygiene in accommodation, dressing neatly, and being civilized and polite in daily life, there are also some iron rules.
He had been speaking with great emotion just now, but when he spoke of this, the dean's face became completely serious, and he said in a serious tone: "Fighting, cheating in exams... these are iron rules that are not allowed in the school. If you commit them, you will be severely punished and expelled. Also, dating on campus is strictly prohibited. Once discovered, you will be sent back home immediately. Do you remember that?"
“I can remember them all!”
These rules sound like nothing to everyone.
Everyone has gone through so much trouble to pass the exams in order to study and gain knowledge to enrich themselves. If they are not allowed to study, they will be anxious. If they are not allowed to do these things, there is nothing wrong with that.
Freshman meeting is over.
Everyone’s university life has officially begun.
We were busy with chores the entire day and didn't do anything else in the evening.
After washing up, the eight people in the dormitory sat together and chatted. They no longer just talked about the college entrance examination, but got to know each other more deeply.
Everyone talked about where their hometown was and what they did before coming to school.
Of course, they were very tired from rushing to report, especially since their home was far away and they had to take a train for several days to get here, so they didn't chat too late and almost went to bed.
Early summer is local and the least tiring of them all.
So after turning off the lights in the dormitory, she listened to the breathing of others becoming deep and even as they fell asleep, and she spent a long while alone recalling the day. I felt so sleepy after thinking about it that I turned over and fell asleep quickly.
In the early morning of the next day, Chuxia was awakened by the noise of Zhou Jin getting out of bed on the upper bunk.
She turned over in a daze and heard the bus announcement from outside: "Bus No. 332, bound for the Summer Palace, please get off first and then get on..."
Chuxia opened her eyes and sat up from the bed.
Seeing that Zhou Jin on the upper bunk had returned from washing up, she whispered with a nasal tone, "You got up so early."
Zhou Jin looked at her and said, "Morning? Zheng Xiaomin has been outside memorizing words for more than half an hour."
ah? ?
Chu Xia stared at Zhou Jin for a moment and woke up instantly.
Then she quickly lifted the quilt, tidied the bedding, tied up her hair and went to wash up.
***
For the next week, every day in early summer was like this.
Of course it wasn't just her. It was the same in her dormitory, the entire class, the entire department, and the entire school.
When I was reviewing for the college entrance exam, I felt crazy all by myself.
And now, the whole school is going crazy.
No one wants to be left behind.
So everyone studies hard every day.
I get up before dawn in the morning, read books, memorize words, and run around the school twice.
Unless there are special circumstances, apart from eating, going to the toilet and sleeping, the only things I do every day are reading and studying and exercising.
Originally, Chuxia was planning to go home on Sunday.
But in this kind of atmosphere, how could she go home and spend the weekend easily? If she fell too far behind in her studies, it would be all over.
So not only did she not go home, she also got up early in the morning, bought some food, and went straight to the outside of the library to eat, read, and wait, ready to go in and grab a seat when the library opened.
And so every morning there is not just one person waiting outside the library, but a group of people.
Whether you can grab a seat after the door opens is purely a matter of luck.
Bad luck today in early summer.
By the time she followed the crowd into the library, most of the seats inside had been occupied.
After searching upstairs and downstairs without finding it, Chuxia breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to leave.
Then she turned around and walked a few steps when someone patted her shoulder from behind.
She turned around in surprise and saw that it was Lin Xiaohan.
Seeing an acquaintance, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she smiled and whispered, "What a coincidence."
Lin Xiaohan didn't say hello to her, but whispered, "Come here."
Hearing this, Chu Xia's eyes instantly brightened.
She didn't ask any more questions and hurriedly followed Lin Xiaohan. Soon she followed him to two empty seats occupied by books.
Lin Xiaohan picked up the book on the seat on the left and told her, "Sit down."
As expected, there was a seat available, and Chuxia sat down without saying a word and put down the book.
Then when Lin Xiaohan sat down next to her, she said to him in a low voice, "Thank you."
