He said he would take Miao Zhicheng to the Agricultural University to register the next day, but by the time we set off, it was already two or three in the afternoon.
And the reason is heartbreaking.
If Lin Lishan hadn't stuffed the mosquito net she had prepared into her luggage bag, she really wouldn't have discovered this nephew. Except for the new clothes he had changed into before coming that day, the rest of his clothes were all patched.
In addition, when Miao Zhicheng came, his luggage was very simple: a cloth bag filled with local specialties, a luggage bag, a packed quilt and a washbasin.
There's nothing strange about this scene. Every year, freshmen arrive at the university gate like this, if not 90 percent, then 80 percent. Without receipts, you can't get anywhere, so bring whatever you can from home.
So he was neglected by the Zhou family.
Zhou Jiao was indifferent to the matter. Besides, the man was already working, so she didn't pay much attention to it.
As for Lin Lishan, she had nothing to lose and had nothing to do with these trivial matters. She also saw that her nephew's clothes were no worse than those of ordinary people.
When she saw the patched, washed-out clothes in the bag, she slapped her forehead hard and ran to look for someone. Who was she looking for?
If you have any problems, go to your daughter and she will definitely get it done!
Therefore the trip was postponed.
Thinking of Miao Zhicheng's height of over 5'7", Zhou Jiao smiled wryly and shook her head. Her father and Zhang Guoqing were both over 5'8", and she always used them as her standard for the men's clothing she bought. It was hard to find anything this small.
Fortunately, it was a change from a big thing to a small thing. If it was a change from a small thing to a big thing, she would really be helpless.
Taking certain factors into consideration, Zhou Jiao didn't plan to use new materials. From the pile of military supplies her godfather had given her, she found a military uniform that matched her cousin's size. After a few minor modifications, she finally completed a set of summer and autumn clothes.
Afterwards, Xiang Xiang found a long-sleeved white shirt with a slightly crooked collar from among Huaihai's old stuff and altered it. Finally, he could give the other person a change of clothes.
She rejected some of her mother's random ideas. As a relative, Zhou Jiao felt that these were enough. Didn't she see that she and her husband were still wearing old clothes?
"Then how much red envelope should I give him? Your dad asked me to decide." Lin Lishan scratched her hair worriedly and looked at her daughter eagerly.
Zhou Jiao looked at her amusedly, "So how much did you originally plan to give?"
"That kid is really generous. He gave Ping An five dollars as pocket money. If it's too little, I can't afford it, and too much is not good. How about ten dollars?"
"This is a good plan, isn't it? Mom, I'll add some more food coupons later. He gets a salary every month, just like my brother, so he won't be short of money."
"We must first protect our own food supply."
Zhou Jiao shook her head in amusement. Was she that kind of fool? If she hadn't doted on her son, she wouldn't have been willing to give him the food coupons.
In the afternoon, a group of young men and women who were studying in the eight courtyards finally had the opportunity to pack their luggage and board the military truck to go to school.
"Which school should we go to first?"
"Start wherever we go. These brats keep coming in waves, and I feel like I'm getting old. Remember, study hard at school, and don't rush into making friends with the opposite sex..."
There was a burst of laughter in the car.
Zhang Guoqing smiled, glanced at the other person, and asked a boy not far away: "Qian San, how many students got into Agricultural University this year?"
"Brother Xiaowu..." Qian Qilin shook his head.
"Haha, I told you not to listen!" Ding Datou finally heard the man who shaved his head. In the past three years, such a strange person has appeared in the compound. Why do you, the descendant of a soldier, go out to farm every day?
Zhang Guoqing pushed him from behind. This silly boy!
"My cousin just started school, please keep an eye on him for me."
"How about moving to my dorm?"
Zhang Guoqing shook his head: "That's not necessary. You're all familiar with each other, it wouldn't be nice to have them move away."
Someone on the side took over the conversation: "Why not? It's no big deal!"
Miao Zhicheng sat nearby with a smile on his face, agreeing with his cousin's husband. Who knew if suddenly moving someone out might offend anyone? There was no point in causing trouble for his aunt over a minor matter.
From the moment he got on the bus, he could tell this group was so arrogant that even the seating arrangements were regulated. Even if he were to sit here, he couldn't help but be self-aware. They were doing this for his brother-in-law's sake; otherwise, no one would bother with him!
"Big Head, help me carry my luggage back. I have to go to the Agricultural University with Xiao Wu."
Ding Datou kicked him and said, "Follow, follow your ass! Why are you involved in everything? Your student union has a meeting this afternoon. If you don't go, you're dead."
Yi Jiefang gently dodged and said with a smile: "I will definitely rush over. Xiaowu is still here, I will make that Niaomao anxious!"
"Dayi, who offended you? Let's overthrow him!"
Yi Jiefang patted the buddy next to him, "Impulse is the devil! Why bother to lift it? It's fun to go up and tease him whenever you want."
"Really? We can eat anything, but we can't suffer any loss!"
After chatting all the way, they arrived at the Agricultural University. Zhang Guoqing took Miao Zhicheng's luggage and did not let Yi Jiefang and the others get off. He went into the school with Qian San and the others first.
Not long after, several student union members who had a good relationship with Zhang Guoqing came to help with the quick check-in, got the keys, and went up to the dormitory building.
Zhang Guoqing waited for him to make the bed. Seeing that he was done, he put a luggage bag in his hand on Miao Zhicheng's bed. Without waiting for him to refuse, he left his contact address and said goodbye to him.
His wife had no idea what she had prepared, so she told him to just give it to the man. Judging by the weight, it must be clothes. Damn it! He had to prepare all this for another man!
Miao Zhicheng had no idea a man was jealous. He opened the bag, found the contents, felt the red envelope in his trouser pocket, and sighed. It seemed he shouldn't have listened to his mother and gone to see his aunt. This time, he owed her a favor.
Thinking of the safety telegram sent this morning, Miao Zhicheng thought for a moment, took out a piece of letter paper from his bag, and began to describe in detail his experience after finding Lin Lishan.
He was worried his parents might accidentally let slip something, causing a stir, so he deliberately concealed the Zhou family's financial situation, such as the fact that his uncle was a high-ranking official and that his aunt held a high position. He only told his family that his aunt was doing well, so that his parents wouldn't worry and his grandparents could rest assured. If they could get a holiday at the end of the year, the whole family would go back to visit the elderly.
After finishing his essay, Miao Zhicheng lay in bed, staring at the brand new, snow-white mosquito net, feeling uneasy. His parents were still worried that his aunt's background would be exposed and she would be kicked out by her in-laws. He saw that her life wasn't going too well. If she were in the countryside, she would have been kicked out long ago if she had given birth to a daughter.
This point should be added in the letter. This way, his parents should be truly relieved! As for what his uncle looks like, let's not talk about it. Instead, we can talk about Xiao Ping'an.
Miao Zhicheng added to the letter again and again, and finally a registered letter consisting of six densely packed sheets of paper was sent to a cave in the western Loess Plateau.
The honest man had red eyes and held the letter carefully. He could not say anything except "OK, OK, OK..."
This made the second daughter, who had returned to read the letter, feel sad. Her father had been atoning for her grandmother's sins, so now she should be relieved.
