While the whole family was having dinner together, Zeng Yu looked at her son worriedly and said, "Tiansen, can you take good care of Congcong? Or why don't you let Congcong stay? I'm basically free every day anyway."
"Mom, Congcong is still young. One of Linglong and I has to be by his side to take care of him."
"Then why don't you just let Linglong go home and live with us? We have room at home anyway."
Zheng Tiansen glanced at his wife and quickly said, "Mom, Linglong just started college, so it's not a good idea to treat her specially. Let Congcong come back with me. We have someone familiar and popular who can take care of him during the day, and there's also a nursery there."
Linglong couldn't interrupt or refute her mother-in-law when she was speaking, and she was also glad that she had discussed it with her husband in advance.
When it was time to rest, Zheng Tiansen was reluctant to part with his wife because he would be leaving her tomorrow.
Seeing that Congcong fell asleep, he pulled Linglong out of bed.
"Tiansen, what are you doing?" she asked in a low voice.
"Wife, it will be several months before I see you again. Let's get closer." He pleaded.
"Congcong is still here." Linglong said worriedly.
"It's okay, he's sound asleep, we won't do it on the bed."
Just when Linglong was wondering what Zheng Tiansen was going to do, he pushed her to the desk.
That night, Linglong was forced to unlock many new postures.
Morning.
Zheng Tiansen personally sent his wife to the gate of Renmin University and watched her enter before he was reluctant to leave.
After returning home, he and Congcong had to go to the train station not long after.
Before leaving home, Zheng Tiansen couldn't help but chat with his mother for a long time.
"Mom, Linglong is a little shy and timid. Please take care of her."
"Don't worry, my daughter-in-law, I feel so bad for you. I will let Tianxin visit Linglong often."
Only then did Zheng Tiansen rush to the train station with Congcong.
It was not until the train started moving that Congcong realized that his mother had not gotten on yet, and he became anxious.
"Mom, Mom." He kept shouting.
Zheng Tiansen put him on his lap and coaxed him.
"Congcong, be obedient. Mommy has to go to school. Let's go home and wait for her. She will be home in a few months."
Congcong nodded with tears in his eyes.
Let’s talk about Linglong.
As soon as she entered the school, she went to the dormitory.
When she entered the dormitory building, many girls were already standing up and moving around in the corridor.
She walked straight to the door of her dormitory, pushed it, and the door opened. Several people inside looked over.
"Who are you?" a girl asked.
Looking at the five unfamiliar faces in the dormitory, Linglong knew that these were her future roommates and introduced herself with a smile. "Hello, I'm Zhong Linglong, from our dormitory."
"Oh, it's you."
"Come in, come in."
"I haven't told you where you are yet."
Several people started chattering.
Only two of them looked at each other quietly, and just nodded and smiled at Linglong.
"By the way, where did you stay last night?" someone asked boldly.
"A relative's house." Linglong said simply.
Knowing that she has relatives in Beijing, her roommates are quite envious of her because their families are all out of town.
Having relatives in the capital would make many things more convenient.
After Linglong washed up and exchanged a few simple greetings, she climbed onto her bed.
Not knowing what to do, she took out a book and started reading.
Nowadays, the most common way for college students to pass the time is probably reading.
Seeing her reading quietly, I was curious about her and wanted to ask a few more questions, but I felt too embarrassed to ask anymore. The dormitory soon became quiet.
Linglong didn't remember how long she had been reading when someone knocked on the door and told them to go to the auditorium together in the afternoon to attend the freshman opening ceremony.
When it was almost lunchtime, someone in the dormitory asked if everyone wanted to go to the cafeteria to eat together, and the others responded one after another.
Linglong didn't ask for special treatment and said she wanted to be with him.
So the six people in their dormitory got together and set off to the school cafeteria.
These college students all receive subsidies after being admitted to university, and can receive some food coupons and money every month.
If you save a little, it will be enough.
Some people whose families are not well off have been planning to be frugal, saving some money every month so that they can mail it back home.
Linglong didn't need to be so frugal. She still had some savings of her own. When she got married, Zheng Tiansen let her take all the money she hadn't saved.
The six girls gathered together are a beautiful sight.
The other five people became quite familiar with each other last night when Linglong was not around. Linglong followed them mainly to listen to them talk.
Just as she was talking, the dormitory head Zhou Manman, who was vaguely known as the leader of the dormitory, turned her head and asked Linglong.
"Linglong, I wonder how old you are? We are all in order."
"I, I'm twenty." Although her twentieth birthday hasn't arrived yet, she's used to reporting her age a little older because she's married and has a son.
But Zhou Manman asked in detail. "So what month are you born?" Because there was another twenty-year-old in the dormitory.
"April."
"Oh, the fourth child was also born in April 1957. What a coincidence."
Linglong said embarrassedly, "Well, I was born in 1958." She quickly explained clearly.
"Then you're not even twenty yet. Oh, you guys are used to reporting your age as one year older, right? Then you're younger than the fourth child, so you can only be the fifth child, hehe."
After sorting through the rows, it turned out that there was only one person younger than her in the dormitory, and that was the sixth student in the dormitory who had just finished high school a few months ago and happened to be eighteen years old when the college entrance examination was resumed.
After arranging together, Linglong felt a lot closer to everyone.
When we entered the cafeteria, there were already quite a few people queuing up for meals.
Zhou Manman arranged for Linglong and Laoliu to occupy a table. The four of them lined up to buy food first and asked Linglong what they wanted to eat.
"I just want one meat dish, one vegetable, and a steamed bun." Linglong answered immediately without wasting any time.
Lao Liu said she wanted two vegetarian dishes and two taels of rice.
Linglong and Laoliu took their seats and waited, their eyes scanning the cafeteria.
Maybe it was because she had worked in the army cafeteria for a long time, but now when she looked at this place again, she felt very familiar, and at the same time she missed her colleagues in the army.
Lao Liu thought Linglong was curious about their school cafeteria, so he kept looking at her.
Zhou Manman and the others were quite quick and they all came back with their meals in no time.
Linglong asked how much her meal cost, counted the money and food coupons and gave them to Zhou Manman.
Of course Zhou Manman didn't refuse and took it and put it away.
The meals for the six of them are probably pretty much the same.
Besides Linglong, the only one who was willing to eat meat was the third kid in the dormitory.
The third family is from Northeast China, and it seems that their family conditions are also good.
Linglong didn't finish her meat dish. She only ate half of it and said she couldn't eat anymore. She asked everyone to help her carry some more so that she wouldn't waste it.
Everyone was feeling a bit embarrassed at first, but Zhou Manman said directly, "Then I won't be polite."
She picked up the food with chopsticks first, and then everyone else followed suit.
Linglong felt that the food in the school's big pot tasted just average, a little worse than what they had in their army cafeteria.
But this is the condition now, so she can't be picky.
After dinner, the six of us went back to the dormitory to rest, waiting to get ourselves together to attend the freshman opening ceremony in the afternoon.
