I still called my aunt and uncle to inform them that I had arrived in Beijing in advance.
"Okay, have you checked in now? Are you going to live in the dormitory or somewhere else? It's still very cold in Beijing, right? Did you bring enough blankets? Uncle will ask someone to send them to you."
"Uncle, don't bother me. We have everything ready when we come. We have everything we need and we have enough money. There is no need to bother your comrades.
We are staying in the guesthouse now. We will go to the school later to check it out. If the dormitory is ready, we will go and register tomorrow. Once my cousin and I are settled, we will visit your comrade's home.
"Manman, you should focus on yourselves first and take care of your own affairs. Your uncle Wang and I have a life-long friendship and don't care about these empty formalities. So, there's no need to go out of your way to visit him. I've already given him a heads-up. If you have any questions, just go to him."
"Okay, we'll take care of it. Go ahead and get busy."
After hanging up the phone, I walked out of the post office.
"Actually, my second and third cousins seem to be doing pretty well in Hai City."
All the students in my family who took the college entrance examination passed. Those in Hai City who took the exam directly applied for local universities. They didn’t have to travel back and forth like them, nor did they have to stay in a hotel. They could just ride a bicycle to class and go home every day to eat and sleep.
"I think Beijing is still better. They can't come to this place even if they want to." As a boy, Chen Ming still thinks it's better to see more of the world. Moreover, for young people of this age, the outside world is always more attractive than home.
Moreover, they were admitted to Peking University and Tsinghua University. This title alone can eliminate all negative factors.
Because I just plan to come and check out the situation today, and there are still a few days before the registration deadline, there is no need to rush.
So the luggage was still in the guesthouse, but to be on the safe side, Xu Manman still prepared the information in advance.
The brother and sister came to Peking University and arrived at the main gate.
The four big characters of Tsinghua University and Peking University on the gate tower made the brother and sister feel overwhelmed with emotion.
"Manman, we did it." Only after coming here did Chen Ming have a real feeling that he had broken away from his identity as an educated youth.
"Yes, we did it." They had agreed to return to the city together, and they did it in a special way. They came to the top university in the country. For the next three years or even longer, they will all belong here.
A welcome banner has been hung at the school gate, and many senior students are doing welcome reception work at the school gate.
A senior student with a friendly smile came forward and asked, "Classmate, which department are you from?"
At this time, Chen Ming was in charge of external relations. "I am from the Computer Science Department, and my cousin is from the Economics Department."
The senior looked at Xu Manman and said with a smile, "Your cousin is also from our school, you two siblings are really good.
The reception staff for each major are all in the auditorium. Go forward... Each major has a sign hanging on it, so you can see it immediately after entering. You can ask them if you have any questions. Your dormitories are also assigned by your major.
At this point, it glanced at the two people's empty hands and said, "Um, are you locals? You can apply for day study in special circumstances, but you still need to live in the dormitory for the normal freshman year."
"Thank you, Senior. Our luggage is at the guesthouse. We can pick it up after we finish the formalities."
"Oh, I see. The heating in the freshman dormitories hasn't started in the past two days. I heard that the official heating may not start until after the opening ceremony." Before leaving, the senior student gave a reminder.
On the way to the auditorium, Chen Ming said to Xu Manman, "After we finish registering, let's go to the dormitory to see how things are. If it's cold, we can stay in the guesthouse for the next two days."
Chen Ming had experienced a winter without heating in Hai City, and the north was even colder than Hai City. As a grown man, he could handle it, but his cousin couldn't.
"Okay, let's go check it out first."
The two came to the auditorium. The originally spacious space was now filled with people.
There is a sign in front of each major, making it easy to see at a glance.
Chen Ming is tall. "The Economics Department is over there. Let's go there first." He pulled Xu Manman over.
There was nothing going on here, so the senior student sitting at the desk looked at the newcomer and asked gently, "Hello, classmate. Are you here to register from the Economics Department?"
"Yes."
"Did you bring all the information in the admissions handbook?"
"I brought it." Xu Manman took out the divided information from her bag and handed it over.
After the senior student checked the data and information, she handed over another form and said, "You need to register your personal information here. If you don't know how to fill it out, you can refer to the template here. Do you have a pen?"
