On the first day of school for Liu Meiyun, Lu Changzheng carried large and small bags and took his three sons to Huaqing University to send her off.
"It's just a formality. You can come along, but why do you have to bring the three of them along?"
Liu Meiyu had a headache. Just to go to school, the whole family went out with three kids following behind. People always stared at her when she walked, let alone going to school.
"Mom, I know! Dad said he wanted to let mom and all your classmates know that you're married!" Lu Erbao raised his hand and directly betrayed his dad. He also shamelessly praised his brothers: "We have three smart, obedient, cute and sensible sons. This way, no uncle will want to be our stepfather!"
"Lu Changzheng, what nonsense do you keep telling your son all day long!" Liu Meiyu directly pinched the man's arm and scolded him.
"Wife, I was wrong!" Seeing that his wife was angry, Lu Changzheng quickly admitted his mistake.
The three smart and cute sons next to them looked gloating.
Lu Changzheng was so angry that he grabbed Erbao by the back of the neck and reached his cold hands directly into his clothes.
The three brothers, Dabao, Erbao and Xiaobao, are of the same mind to betray their father. They hold their father's arm and not only make fun of him for making their mother angry, but also try to follow his example and try to lift his clothes and put their cool hands on his belly.
The four of them entered Huaqing fighting and quarreling all the way. Liu Meiyu thought they were childish and just wanted to stay away from them.
Liu Meiyun, who brought her husband and triplets to school, was not surprisingly the center of attention wherever she went.
In recent years, Liu Meiyun has seldom gone out to sunbathe on the island. Even when she goes out, she wears long-sleeved shirt, long gown and straw hat. She pays great attention to sun protection and is willing to apply lotion on her face in winter, so her skin is still fair and clean and she doesn't get tanned much.
Lu Changzheng was different. He trained in the wind and sun every day on the island, and his face was no longer the same as before. Only his facial features and body were still strong and straight. He looked more mature and stable.
Just standing next to Liu Meiyun, one can easily tell the age difference. It's not that Lu Changzheng looks old, but Liu Meiyun is so pretty that she looks younger. Her eyebrows and facial features are delicate and pretty. At most, she looks like an unmarried girl in her twenties. Who would have thought that she is the mother of three children.
The enthusiastic gay man couldn't take his eyes off Liu Meiyun as soon as she stepped into the school gate. Even though the man next to her looked serious and fierce, he still approached her bravely and said, "Hello, classmate. I'm Rong Xufei from the Department of Architecture. The triplets must be your younger brother, right? They're so cute."
"This is my mom!"
Dabao came back noisy, but at the critical moment he still did not forget the task assigned by his father.
“Yes, this is our mother!”
Erbao and Xiaobao stood in front of their mother, looking as if they were facing a powerful enemy.
Rong Xufei stood there in a daze, looking at the three kids in disbelief. It was hard to believe that the young and pretty girl in front of him had a child this big already.
"Hello, I'm Liu Meiyun from the Economics Department." Liu Meiyun pulled the three guys apart and rewarded each of them for their brains collapsing. "Where are your manners?"
The eldest, second and third children all covered their heads and shouted in unison: "Hello, uncle!"
"Hello..." Rong Xufei looked embarrassed, then looked at Lu Changzheng next to him and asked tentatively: "Is this your relative?"
"My husband."
Seeing that Lu Changzheng's face was almost as dark as the bottom of a pot, Liu Meiyun quickly dragged him away, leaving Rong Xufei standing there in a daze, unable to react for a long time.
After finally arriving at the girls' dormitory, Liu Meiyu knocked on the door and went in. She saw that many people had already come into the dormitory. Some were making their beds, while others had already made up their beds and were sitting on the bed reading a book.
When they saw Liu Meiyu's family coming in, they were all surprised.
"Hello." Liu Meiyu led her son and greeted people with a smile.
"Hello... hello." Su Qinghe, who was closest to the door, had always thought that Liu Meiyu was incredibly beautiful. When he suddenly heard her speak, he found that her voice was so nice too, so he stammered as he greeted her.
Seeing that Liu Meiyu had a unique temperament and that her clothes not only had no patches, but the fabric and style also looked expensive, she suddenly felt a little restrained and retracted her hands covered with frostbite.
Liu Meiyu didn't pay much attention to it. There were eight people in the dormitory, five of them came, and there were three empty beds left. Her bed was on the upper bunk at the back, against the wall. A young girl was sitting on her bed with bright eyes, reading a literary classic with great interest in her hands.
When the girls in the dormitory saw the triplets following Liu Meiyun obediently, they were immediately attracted to their attention. They came over to ask curiously. After learning that Liu Meiyun was married and her husband was diligently helping to make the bed, they were all envious and wanted to say a few nice and polite words to the triplets and tease them at the same time.
Lu Changzheng had just made the bed, and Liu Meiyu had finished her pleasantries and got to know the people who had come. Most of them were children of workers and farmers from all over the country, such as Wang Meihua, who worked in her bed. She spoke with a sweet accent, was admitted from a remote rural village in the south, and loved reading.
Su Qinghe at the door is a bit introverted, two years younger than Liu Meiyun, and doesn't seem to talk much.
There is also Zhou Yanhong, the oldest girl living in the dormitory opposite. Everyone calls her Sister Hong. She is an educated youth who went to the countryside in the early years. She is in her thirties and her sons and daughters are all being taken care of by her husband and mother-in-law in her hometown.
The other two had slightly better family conditions. Their parents were both workers. They dressed neatly and had more confident expressions. One of them was even a native of Beijing.
Lu Changzheng helped to tidy up the beds, and there were only two empty beds left in the dormitory, one on Su Qinghe's upper bed at the door, and one on Hong Jie's lower bed opposite.
As everyone was talking, another family came into the dormitory.
A well-dressed middle-aged couple led their daughter into the dormitory. Seeing that the dormitory was crowded and messy, the middle-aged woman frowned and complained casually. Her husband glared at her impatiently, and then she greeted them with a smile.
The girl following the couple was wearing a tweed coat, a white scarf, woolen gloves, and shiny short leather boots, the kind that can only be found in department stores and cost almost twenty dollars a pair, which were very expensive.
As soon as Liu Meiyu arrived in Beijing, Lu Changzheng took her to buy a pair of shoes. However, Liu Meiyu complained that there was no fur inside and they were not warm enough, so she left them at home and did not wear them.
Song Qi put her hands in her pockets. She was very unhappy to see the messy dormitory environment, especially when she saw that her bed was made on the door, which made her even more unhappy.
The middle-aged woman also understood her daughter. She took out two White Rabbit candies from her bag and handed them to Su Qinghe, saying tactfully, "Comrade, my daughter is not used to living on the upper floor. Can we switch places?"
Su Qinghe's face was red and her expression was complicated. Her bed had already been made, and she was not used to living on the upper bunk. She hesitated for a long time and said nothing.
Song Qi didn't like her behavior, and she didn't like the bed at the door either. It was freezing in winter, so she acted coquettishly towards the woman and pointed to the bed where the girl was reading a book on the lower bed of Liu Meiyun: "Mom, I want to live there!"
Liu Meiyu's mouth twitched when she heard this, thinking how come you can find weirdos everywhere? Not only the girl was weird, but her parents were also weird. They were so shameless that they even had the idea of changing the bed for her lower roommate, Wang Meihua.
"Auntie, I'm sorry, I don't want to change either."
Wang Meihua put down the book, refused calmly, and returned the two White Rabbit candies that the woman had stuffed into her hands. Then she continued to read her book. No matter how noisy the surroundings were, she could still immerse herself in turning the pages and was very focused.
Wang Meihua is petite and has a soft voice, but her personality is tough enough that Liu Meiyu likes her a little.
The woman stood there awkwardly, with a look of displeasure on her face. She glanced around and saw that everyone was either lowering their heads and pretending to ignore her, or talking to their children and not even looking at her.
"Auntie...let me switch with you."
Su Qinghe, who had been hesitating and had no time to answer, raised her hand cautiously.
The woman smiled awkwardly and tried to coax her daughter, "Qi Qi, be obedient. We will stay here for a while."
Song Qi was in a bad mood. He looked at the berth with disdain and said impatiently, "Just move in!"
So the woman asked her husband to carry the luggage at the door, and started to make the bed for her daughter and pack the toiletries. She worked for a long time, and after giving her husband several more instructions out of concern, she left with her husband.
While the girls were making a fuss, Lu Changzheng, a grown man, didn't want to join in the fun, so he just helped Liu Meiyun pack her luggage.
He folded the clothes one by one and put them in the closet, laid out the toothbrush and toothcup neatly, and put a few books that Liu Meiyu brought over neatly at the head of the bed. He tidied up every corner according to Liu Meiyu's habit.
He also found some wire to hang a curtain on Liu Meiyun's bed, so that she instantly had her own private space.
The other people in the dormitory were surprised and envious when they saw it.
"Meiyun, you did a great job. When I save enough cloth coupons, I will make a curtain for myself." Tian Xiaoyan, who comes from a family with two working parents, liked the curtain Liu Meiyun hung very much and decided to hang one for herself in the future.
Song Qi sat on the bed, glanced at him and curled his lips, looking a little disdainful.
She thought the curtain was ugly. The fabric used was the cheapest kind available from the supply and marketing cooperative, and it didn't cost much money or tickets. When she got back, she would ask her family to make her a better-looking one.
"Okay, there's still a piece of wire left. I'll give it to you if you want it."
"Really?" Tian Xiaoyan was surprised.
"Really, it may not be enough. You can go back and find another piece to connect it." Liu Meiyu handed the wire to Tian Xiaoyan, and seeing that Lu Changzheng had finished packing, she started to lead people away.
Tian Xiaoyan didn't expect Liu Meiyu to be so easy to talk to. After everyone left the dormitory, she even exclaimed in admiration. Unexpectedly, Song Qi snorted coldly and contradicted her: "It's just a piece of broken wire. How much can it be worth?"
"It's not about the money." Tian Xiaoyan frowned.
Zhou Yanhong, the oldest student in the dormitory, saw that the atmosphere was not good, so she quickly came out to smooth things over and change the subject: "Oh, there is only one bed left, and I don't know when this student will come."
"Yeah, don't be late." Su Qinghe was reorganizing her things in the upper floor, and she also agreed in a low voice.
Song Qi curled her lips, too lazy to say anything, and just took out a small mirror to braid her hair again.
Liu Meiyu arrived to report on the last day. She had to attend a class meeting in the evening to get the class schedule, and had to attend classes early the next morning.
Lu Changzheng and the triplets didn't want to leave. Seeing that they were hesitating, Liu Meiyu simply took the father and sons to the cafeteria of Huaqing University for a meal.
"Mom, I don't want you to live in school."
Dabao looked depressed. He hadn’t seen his mother for several days and he started to feel sad.
"Mom, I don't want to either." Erbao was in a happy mood the whole day, but after knowing that he would go home with his dad after dinner, he became reluctant.
Xiaobao simply hugged his mother's arm and said coquettishly, "Mom, can Xiaobao go to school here with you?"
Facing the three clinging kids, Liu Meiyun shook her head and said firmly: "What did you promise your mother at home? Go to school and be obedient. Mom and Dad also have to go to school. Mom will go home on weekends."
Dabao buried his head in his mother's arms and shook his head, his eyes ready to start filling with tears, "But the weekend is still a long way off!"
"It's just a few days. Just stay in school and it will be over in no time."
There is a bus from the military compound to Huaqing University. Liu Meiyu could have stayed at home, but she thought that this was the first year of the college entrance examination after its resumption, and the academic schedule would be tight. It would be a bit time-consuming to catch the bus in the morning and evening.
Moreover, the university courses are different from the ones she had prepared for the college entrance examination before. She applied for the economics major, which she had never studied in her previous life. Now she is on the same starting line as everyone else. Liu Meiyu still wants to work hard and strive to graduate early.
The son couldn't bear to leave his mother, and Lu Changzheng also couldn't bear to leave his wife.
Especially since he will be reporting to the military academy in two days. Even if he has leave, he cannot go out casually. He has to report to his superiors if he goes out.
The family had lived on the island for so many years and had never been separated. Now they were suddenly separated because of school, and Lu Changzheng felt empty inside.
Compared to the sadness of the four father and sons, Liu Meiyun is full of fighting spirit because she has the opportunity to return to university and start working hard again.
Although she is married and has children, she feels that she has ushered in a new beginning.
"That's enough! Stop wasting time! Hurry up and go home! I'm going to be mad if you delay my studies!"
Liu Meiyu used both soft and hard tactics, coaxing and comforting him, and promised that Lu Changzheng would write a letter every week and that she would come home to cook delicious food for his three sons as soon as they had holidays. Only then did she wave goodbye and finally send him away.
After seeing the father and his four sons off, Liu Meiyu looked at her watch and saw that it was not long before the evening self-study class. She simply did not return to the dormitory and took a leisurely tour around Huaqing University.
In her previous life, Liu Meiyu had visited Huaqing as a tourist, but now she has become the first batch of college students at Huaqing after the resumption of the college entrance examination. The feeling in her heart is really something that not everyone can understand.
After wandering around for a while, Liu Meiyu found her class on time and went in.
She had originally applied for the economics major, but when she walked in, she saw that there were only about thirty people in the class, and girls were extremely rare. Including herself, there were still less than five people, and they all sat in a row tacitly.
Liu Meiyu also walked over and sat down next to them.
Most of the people in the classroom had arrived long in advance, and their faces were filled with excitement and curiosity. When they saw Liu Meiyu come in, they were silent for a moment, then plunged into a lively discussion again.
"Classmate, you are so beautiful. My name is Hao Limei, what's yours?"
The girl next to Liu Meiyu greeted with a smile, revealing a pair of small fangs, looking somewhat playful and cute.
The other two girls next to her were a little reserved and were very cautious when greeting Liu Meiyun.
Liu Meiyu is so beautiful, with delicate features. Although she is wearing simple clothes, you can tell at a glance that the material is not cheap. She also has an indescribable temperament. If others don't have that confidence, they will be afraid of being embarrassed when greeting her.
"My name is Liu Meiyu, how are you?" Liu Meiyu smiled and waved.
Several girls, including the boys who were staring at Liu Meiyu, were stunned for a moment, as they did not expect that Liu Meiyu's smile would be so friendly and approachable.
"There are only six girls in our class, and one hasn't come yet. We must get along well with each other in the future! If there are any difficulties, we can help each other!"
Hao Limei had a cheerful personality, and her family was well off, so she didn't feel that Liu Meiyu had any aura that made her difficult to approach, and she became familiar with her in no time.
Several girls sat together and introduced themselves. When they learned that Liu Meiyun was married and had three children, they were so surprised that their mouths could fit an egg.
Hao Limei was particularly surprised: "Oh my God, you got married so early, what will happen to your husband and children if you come to school?"
"I got married when I was 18, and it was fine. I'm older than you, and my husband's family is from Beijing, and our children go to school here."
Liu Meiyu had a feeling that she would have to give this explanation many times in the future. When she looked at the original owner's face in the mirror, she didn't even look like a mother, not to mention that her child was already in elementary school. It was no wonder that others were shocked.
A few people were chatting when, almost at the same time, a bell from Huaqing University rang and another girl came in.
The effect was the same as when Liu Meiyun entered the classroom, the astonished gaze followed the girl until she sat down.
Hao Limei sighed at Liu Meiyun: "Oh my god, there are only a few girls in our class, how come you two are both so good-looking."
Liu Meiyu didn't care what Hao Limei said. She just looked at the familiar face, her pupils dilated in surprise.
It’s a small world, but Liu Meiyu really feels that the chances of running into acquaintances outside are too high.
The woman who sat alone in the corner with an aloof look on her face since she entered the classroom, wasn't she the Bai Ting who divorced Sun Aiguo on the island before? ! !
Bai Ting saw Liu Meiyu as soon as she entered the classroom. She frowned, and was even more surprised than Liu Meiyu.
How could a married housewife who only takes care of her husband and children be admitted to Huaqing University?
Bai Ting thought of Lu's background during the Long March, and even began to have conspiracy theories in her mind, wondering if the Lu family had used some shameful means to get Liu Meiyu in.
But that was none of her business. Huaqing University was not an ordinary university for academic admissions. If you didn't have some real skills, you would be asking for trouble if you got in.
Think about how much hard work she had put in over the years to get into Huaqing University. She worked during the day and read with a flashlight at night. This was her only chance, and she would never let herself miss it again.
Seeing that Bai Ting didn't even look at her, Liu Meiyu gave up the idea of saying hello since they weren't very familiar with each other anyway.
Just after the evening self-study class, when Liu Meiyu was walking towards the dormitory after picking up her class schedule and books, she discovered that Bai Ting and she entered the same building and the same dormitory.
The two men stood at the door, both obviously surprised.
"What a coincidence." Liu Meiyu, holding a pile of books, saw people blocking the door, but she still took the initiative to say hello.
Bai Ting was silent for a few seconds, then a meaningful smile appeared on her lips: "It's quite a coincidence, I didn't expect you to be admitted to Huaqing University. In the future, we will not only be classmates but also roommates. We are really destined to be together."
Bai Ting felt dazed when she looked at the charming face in front of her, standing in front of her with the name of the person who was most unforgettable in her previous life.
Before she died in her last life, the person who appeared in her mind was neither the ungrateful man, nor the evil woman who killed her, nor the child in her belly that had no chance of being born. She herself could not imagine why, before she died, the image of Liu Meiyun, the successful figure, appeared in her mind at the gate of the financial building.
That figure was still clearly visible until she was reborn and traveled through time after so long.
Countless nights, when she couldn't get through those boring math formulas, she would think of that figure and then be full of fighting spirit again.
Now that she thinks about it, maybe she was too jealous in her previous life, so in this life, she wants to become Liu Meiyu from her previous life.
Even surpassed her, whether in study or career, even though she knew clearly that the woman in front of her just had the same name as the Liu Meiyu she knew.
"Why don't you go in?" Wang Meihua happily held a pile of books and couldn't wait to go back to the dormitory to read.
Bai Ting pushed the door open and walked in, with an expression that clearly showed that she had no intention of reminiscing about the past with Liu Meiyu.
Liu Meiyu shrugged and was tactful enough not to let other people in the dormitory notice that she knew Bai Ting.
When classes officially started at Huaqing University, Liu Meiyun felt a completely different atmosphere.
No matter how early she got up, by the time she got to the classroom, most of the students had already sat down and started preparing for the class. She never robbed the front row seats, and no one dozed off no matter how boring the class was. Even if they didn't understand something, they would write it down quickly and ask for advice after class.
Not to mention the library. Liu Meiyu hadn't been able to get a seat there for the past few days. No matter when she went there, it was always crowded. Even when she was walking on the street or even in the cafeteria, she could see people reading books.
The reason for such a thirst for knowledge learning atmosphere is not only because this is Huaqing, but also because this is the first batch of students to take the college entrance examination after its restoration. From the freshmen in their teens to the educated youth who went to the countryside in their thirties, this is a place where they can finally absorb knowledge to their heart's content after being suppressed for many years.
In such an intense learning atmosphere, Liu Meiyu went out early and came back late every day to study. She had no time to write letters to Lu Changzheng, let alone think about the three boys at home.
What impressed her even more was Bai Ting.
After that person hit his head, I don't know what suddenly came to his senses. He talked less, stopped meddling in other people's business, and became even cold and aloof.
And he is really hardworking and diligent.
When Liu Meiyun wakes up early, she is already carrying books to the library, and always returns before lights out at night. She is also very focused in class, and after only a few days of classes, she has already made a thick book of notes.
Within a week, Bai Ting earned the nickname "Cold Beauty" at Huaqing University.
Liu Meiyu almost doubted whether there was something wrong with her memory. Bai Ting, who hadn't hit her head on the island before, was really annoying. But seeing that Bai Ting worked harder than herself every day, she could only admire her.
