Jiang Tang raised his head and answered obediently, "Mom, I'm up."
"Oh, okay, Mom will tell the comrades outside."
He Lihua said this and turned to the courtyard gate. She said to the young comrade who came over from the gate, "They will be out soon. Come in and sit down for a while."
"No need, auntie. I'll just wait here for Lu Tuan and sister-in-law."
"It's so cold, come in quickly, come in and have a drink of water."
He Lihua pulled the little soldier who was waiting at the door into the kitchen without saying anything, let him warm himself by the fire, and took out an enamel cup and poured him a cup of sugar water to drink.
The little soldier waved his hands quickly and refused to take the enamel cup.
He Lihua wanted to say something, but he immediately stood up and ran out of the kitchen quickly.
It turned out that Lu Changzheng and Jiang Tang had packed up and came out of the room.
The young soldier stepped forward, saluted, and reported the situation outside.
It was said that two people who claimed to be from Beijing came to pick up Jiang Tang.
Although the family compound is not an administrative unit, it is inhabited by family members after all, so the management at the gate is still very strict.
Generally speaking, no outsider, no matter who they are, can enter without the guidance of someone in the family compound.
Lu Changzheng nodded.
"We'll be there soon."
"OK."
The little soldier turned around and ran back.
He Lihua walked out of the kitchen and looked at the little soldier who had run away. Her tone was very helpless. "In the middle of winter, I asked him to pour him a glass of water, but he refused to drink. This is really..."
"Mom, the army has rules, they just follow them."
Lu Changzheng told He Lihua not to think too much and then went to push the bicycle.
"Tangtang and I will go to the gate to check. Mom, you stay home and look after the children."
"Okay, go quickly and see who it is. Don't keep people waiting too long."
He Lihua urged her son to go quickly.
In fact, Lu Changzheng already had a rough guess about who the visitor was.
Most likely, he is from school.
The couple rode their bicycles to the gate of the family compound, parked their bicycles, and entered the visitor rest room.
Fang Xuelin and Li Boming, who were sitting inside, stood up immediately when they saw people.
Their eyes first fell on Lu Changzheng, and after a slight nod of greeting, they fell on Jiang Tang behind Lu Changzheng.
"This is Comrade Jiang Tang, right?"
Fang Xuelin spoke.
There was amazement in his tone.
Li Boming also looked at Lu Changzheng expectantly, waiting for their answer.
Lu Changzheng nodded.
"My name is Lu Changzheng, and I'm Comrade Jiang Tang's husband."
"I wonder what the two comrades want from my wife?"
Even if he guessed the other party's general identity, Lu Changzheng still wanted to listen to their personal introduction.
The two men came to their senses and quickly took out their letters of introduction and identification and handed them to Lu Changzheng to confirm their identities.
"Hello, Comrade Lu Changzheng. We are teachers from Peking University. Here is my letter of introduction. My name is Fang Xuelin, and I'm from the university's admissions office."
"This is Professor Li Boming from our Admissions Office."
Lu Changzheng took a look and found that the letter of introduction was not forged.
He returned the letter to them and asked, "Teachers, what are you two doing here today?"
"It's embarrassing to say, we should have come earlier, but something delayed us and we couldn't leave..." Li Boming apologized to them with shame.
The school has just resumed enrollment, and teachers like them have a lot of work to do.
Normally, units would have a holiday during the Chinese New Year, so they would just have a meal at home and then go back to school on the first day of the Lunar New Year to prepare for the start of school.
There is no way. Things that have been suspended for ten years have suddenly resumed. There are too many things to do, from classroom allocation, dormitory allocation, canteen arrangement, course arrangement... all kinds of things have to be picked up again and sorted out before students enter school.
Fang Xuelin and his team were busy until a few days ago, when they finally took some time off and rushed to pick up Jiang Tang.
Jiang Tang understood.
She looked at Lu Changzheng and waited for him to speak.
When Lu Changzheng is around, or when she is alone with other people outside, she doesn't like to talk.
It would be great if Lu Changzheng came to negotiate.
Lu Changzheng understood. "Thank you both teachers for taking the trouble to come here from such a long distance. We are also preparing to report to school today."
"Oh, it's not hard, it's not hard. I can just catch up with you before you set off."
"We arrived too late. We should have come earlier to welcome Jiang Tang on behalf of our school."
The two men noticed that Jiang Tang didn't like to talk much, so they didn't force her and turned to talk to Lu Changzheng.
The three of them chatted for a while, and Lu Changzheng looked at the time. The canteen in the family compound was open for dinner.
He invited the two professors into the cafeteria for a meal.
"Don't bother with that. We can just go to a state-owned restaurant outside to eat."
When the two professors arrived, they had already bought return tickets, but not for the afternoon trip, but for tomorrow morning.
They have to stay in the guesthouse tonight no matter what.
Since they were staying here, they decided to just eat near the guesthouse.
Lu Changzheng smiled.
"This place is far from the state-owned restaurant. The two teachers must be hungry after coming all the way here. Let's go to the cafeteria and eat something to fill our stomachs first."
After saying this, Lu Changzheng, worried that they were still unwilling to go, added, "I would also like to take this opportunity to tell the two teachers about my wife's situation."
