Time flies, and a week has passed. It's time for Song Lili and the other two to report for duty.
In the morning, everyone got ready and went out.
Zhang Qingguo went to report alone, and in the past few days they had memorized and recognized the roads in the vicinity.
Therefore, they felt at ease letting Zhang Qingguo go alone.
Zhang Qinghua and Song Lili each took one child to the Capital University for registration.
The process was actually quite simple: register your information, receive your admission notice, get your dormitory assigned, and pick up your key.
Holding her dormitory key and carrying her simple luggage, Song Lili followed a senior student who was leading the way to her dormitory.
The current dormitory is still a multi-story building, and it doesn't look very modern; it's rather dilapidated and gloomy.
It must have been because no one had come for a long time; Song Lili could even smell the astringent smell of dust.
As you walk by, you'll see people carrying luggage, walking back and forth around you.
Today is the day for reporting, so there are quite a few people here.
Song Lili's dormitory is on the third floor, a floor that is neither too high nor too low, which Song Lili is quite satisfied with.
She received a reply from Qian Liulin three days ago, saying that she could stay outside, but she would also need a bed at the school.
Just like in later generations, you have to pay for accommodation, but you can live outside. However, you should occasionally go back to the dormitory to check on things.
Qian Liulin told Song Lili that the school made an exception because they knew she had two children and the dormitory was indeed too small for them.
Others don't have this privilege; they all have to live on campus.
Song Lili thanked Qian Liulin, feeling very grateful.
In fact, she could probably guess that this was because she had found someone she knew well, which led to this result.
She was certain that if she had handled the matter herself, the outcome would have been quite different.
Although it would cost an extra sum of money, Song Lili was still very satisfied.
As long as she can stay outside, she can earn back the accommodation fees.
So, this is not a problem at all.
Upon arriving at the dormitory, you can hear a creaking sound as you push open the old wooden door.
The floor was all cement, uneven with small potholes, but overall it was still quite clean.
There were already people in the dormitory. It was a six-person room, and four people were already there.
Song Lili pushed open the door while holding her child, and everyone's eyes immediately turned to her.
"Hello everyone, I'm Song Lili, and this is my son, Xiaohui," Song Lili introduced herself with a smile.
One of the women, dressed neatly but with slightly faded clothes, stood up and said, "Hello, my name is Wang Mei."
Then, the other three people introduced themselves.
"Hello, my name is Fan Lijuan..."
"Hello, my name is Dong Xiaocui..."
"Hello, my name is Zhao Honghong..."
"Hello." Song Lili nodded again before going inside.
After the senior student finished greeting the group, she said to Song Lili, "You've arrived at the dorm. I'm leaving now. If you need anything, you can go to the dorm manager on the first floor."
"She can help you solve other problems and also tell you the location of other parts of the school."
It was a place like the boiler room. The senior student hadn't had a chance to tell Song Lili yet, which is why she said that.
Song Lili nodded, "Okay, thank you very much, senior."
There's no rush to explore these places now, since she'll be going home soon anyway.
It's not too late to figure it out later.
Song Lili put Xiao Hui down on the ground before going to look at her own bed.
The beds were all bunk beds with metal frames, and they creaked loudly whenever they were moved.
She occupies the lower bunk near the door; the upper bunk is still empty, so it must not have arrived yet.
The bed opposite, as well as the two beds inside, were all covered with bedding; these must belong to the people who introduced themselves earlier.
Song Lili thought that the last person to arrive would be the one in the bunk above her.
She put away her towels, basin, and other belongings before looking around the dormitory.
It's not very old, and the room is only about 20 square meters.
The white walls looked almost blindingly white; they appeared to have just been painted.
There is no balcony. A long wire is strung across the middle of the roof, which is probably where clothes are hung to dry after washing.
Each person has a simple little desk, presumably for reading and studying; that's all.
While Song Lili was looking around the dormitory, the other four people were also looking at her, and they were all quite curious about her.
They've been watching Song Lili ever since she came in.
Wang Mei, the neatly dressed woman, felt that Song Lili had a very special and attractive quality.
Fan Lijuan and Zhao Honghong were somewhat surprised, thinking that Song Lili must be from the city, so they looked at her with more respect and also felt a sense of kinship with a fellow villager.
Only Dong Xiaocui was there. She was a little scared, a little curious, and uneasy, and then she quietly observed Song Lili.
Song Lili could feel their gazes, but she simply ignored them.
He grabbed Xiao Hui, who was already running around curiously, and held her in his arms before looking at the other people.
She thought about the introductions for a moment and quickly matched the names of the people in the descriptions.
It's actually quite easy to recognize.
Dong Xiaocui looked somewhat timid, keeping her head down the whole time, as if she were very scared.
Wang Mei, on the other hand, seemed much more generous, and it was clear that she was a down-to-earth person with a gentle demeanor.
Zhao Honghong is calm and composed, giving people a sense of reliability and dependability.
Only Fan Lijuan, whose eyes often scanned the people around her with great agility, would show contempt when she saw Dong Xiaocui.
Therefore, in just a moment, Song Lili was able to easily judge the personalities of these people.
I also have a general idea of how to get along with these people in the future.
Before Song Lili could speak, Fan Lijuan couldn't wait to speak first.
"Your name is Song Lili, right? Where are you from?" he asked, feigning curiosity.
But Song Lili knew that she wasn't just curious; she was simply asking about her.
She smiled and began, "I'm from Su Province." She didn't say anything else.
Then, after waiting for a while, seeing that Song Lili didn't seem to be saying anything more, Fan Lijuan couldn't help but ask again, "A city person?"
Song Lili shook her head. "No, I'm from a rural area in Gansu Province. I got in this time because I was lucky. My family is so happy."
She acted as if she had never seen the world before.
Fan Lijuan pursed her lips, seemingly a little incredulous. "Really? You don't look like a country person to me. I was a sent-down youth, I've lived in the countryside before. You don't look like one to me, you seem more like a city person." She spoke of city people with a sense of pride.
