The taste is still okay, but this is the north after all, and it is not too friendly to a southerner who is used to eating rice. I will live in the dormitory in the future, and I dare not easily enter the space at night, let alone have a meal.
Thinking about her upcoming campus life, Xu Manman suddenly felt that the noodles in the bowl were no longer fragrant.
Chen Ming looked at Xu Manman staring at the noodles in the bowl with a bitter and resentful look on her face, "What, can't you eat anymore? Then leave it for me."
Okay, Xu Manman pushed the bowl over. The portion was indeed substantial and she felt full after eating only half of it.
While Chen Ming continued to slurp his noodles, Xu Manman took out a notebook and started making a list.
Although they brought a lot of things with them when they came, the dormitory was empty. It can be said that there was nothing else except beds, tables and chairs. Living in the dormitory for a long time requires a lot of small things to buy.
After Xu Manman finished making the list, she flipped through the notebook and saw the address she had written down at the front. "Cousin, let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things this afternoon. Let's go to Uncle Wang's place."
They were not in a hurry to find accommodation these days, so they could put shopping aside for now. Xu Manman thought they should go to their elders first.
It takes an hour to get to this place by bus. It's still early now, so there's still enough time for a round trip. Although I'm not asking them to do anything for me, it's still necessary to take the initiative to meet them in person.
Chen Ming wiped his mouth after eating a bowl of noodles and said, "Then let's go."
So the two of them went to the supply and marketing cooperative again. Since he was my uncle's comrade-in-arms and the address was also the military compound, his rank should be quite high, otherwise my uncle would not have said that he would contact him directly if he had anything to do.
Of course, there was no shortage of ordinary snacks and candies. Xu Manman picked some apples and oranges, and bought three cans of food and a box of fruit juice. Although there were not many things, they were rare in this era and season.
Chen Ming studied the sign for a long time and asked passers-by before finding the bus they wanted to take.
There are also many people in big cities, and they couldn't find a seat on the bus. The two of them could only stand in the middle of the car. Chen Ming held the hanging ring and Xu Manman held him.
The bus slowly drove towards the inner city. People were getting on and off at every stop. After standing for more than half an hour, the two finally found a vacant seat.
After another half an hour of swaying, we finally arrived at our destination.
The security here is quite strict, with armed guards in military uniforms at the door.
The brother and sister walked up to him and said, "Hello, comrade. We would like to visit Comrade Wang Yang's home in Building 21. Is that convenient?"
The young man in military uniform looked at the two men carefully. "Wang Yang from Building 21? Chief Wang? Who are you to him?"
Chief, your rank is indeed not low.
"My uncle is Xu Lei from the Southern Military Region, a comrade-in-arms of Captain Wang. This time I'm here to visit on his behalf."
After hearing Uncle Xu Manman's identity, the young man's expression relaxed a little. "I'll ask someone to contact Wang Tuan's family. You wait here for a moment. If there are no problems, someone will come to pick you up later."
"Okay." Then wait.
The young man told another younger comrade, who turned around and ran into the family area after listening.
"It's windy outside. You can come in and sit for a while. Do you have a letter of introduction or other identification documents? You will need them when you go in to register later." The young man gestured for them to go into the guard room to take shelter from the wind.
Xu Manman and Chen Ming thanked the man for his kindness and walked in. There was not even a brazier in the guard room. The temperature inside was almost the same as outside, except that it was not exposed to the rain.
If we wanted to avoid the wind, we could only do so a little bit. In order to stay alert, the windows were wide open.
Xu Manman took out the materials she used for registration in the morning from her bag. These were all used to prove her identity.
The young soldier flipped through the admission letters to Peking University and Tsinghua University and couldn't help but look at the two siblings a few more times. Not only did his guard disappear, but he also showed a hint of admiration.
He himself had only graduated from junior high school, so he admired those who were able to be admitted to such a top institution of higher learning.
After finishing the registration and returning the information, the comrade who went to call people has not returned yet.
After finishing his work, the young soldier continued to stand guard and did not chat with them. In this atmosphere, the brother and sister did not say much and waited quietly for someone to pick them up.
Finally, the young comrade brought a middle-aged woman over and said, "Here she is."
The middle-aged woman stepped forward and said, "Hello, I'm Zhou Fen from Wang Yang's family. Just call me Aunt Zhou. This is Commander Xu's niece, right? I saw you in a photo at your uncle's house a few years ago."
"Hello, Aunt Zhou." "Hello, Aunt Zhou."
"Okay, I've been waiting for a long time. You can go in after I finish registering here."
After Aunt Zhou signed the guard registration form, the two siblings officially entered the military compound.
