Chapter 83 Jiang Ruoxi is admitted to Beijing University
At this time, teachers from the admissions offices of Tsinghua University and Peking University, two of the top universities in China, also traveled thousands of miles to Liaoning Province. They went to Jiang Ruoxi's house in person and handed her the admission letter, which carried infinite hope.
The teacher from the admissions office of Tsinghua University was full of enthusiasm. He introduced the school's advantageous disciplines and training plans in detail, and his words were full of expectations: "Student Jiang, our school appreciates your talent and hard work very much. We look forward to you joining us and shining on the academic road!"
The teachers of Peking University were not to be outdone, and demonstrated the strength of the school in terms of faculty and scientific research resources: "Student Jiang, we believe that the open and inclusive academic atmosphere of Peking University can provide a broader space for your growth!"
Facing the olive branches extended by two top universities, Jiang Ruoxi was both surprised and conflicted. Lu Tingxiao looked at her gently and said, "Wife, this is the honor you deserve. No matter what decision you make, I will support you!" Jiang Ruoxi pondered for a long time and said, "I want to choose a major that suits me best, so that I can continue my studies and be closer to you, so that we can stay as a family!"
Jiang Ruoxi stood tall, with determination and enthusiasm in her eyes. She sincerely thanked the admissions teachers of Tsinghua University and Peking University: "Thank you both for your appreciation of me. I am honored to have your recognition. After careful consideration, I decided to choose the Department of Economics of Peking University. I have always had a dream, that is, to contribute to the economic development of our country in the future, and the profound academic background and cutting-edge research direction of the Department of Economics of Peking University are more in line with my pursuit!"
The admissions teacher of Tsinghua University was slightly startled, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes, but he was still unwilling to give up. He tried to make a final effort and said earnestly: "Student Jiang, Tsinghua University's economics discipline is also strong, with strong faculty and rich research resources. I believe it can provide an excellent platform for your academic growth. Would you consider it again?"
Jiang Ruoxi raised her lips slightly, politely but firmly declining: "Teacher, thank you very much. Your introduction has given me a deeper understanding of the advantages of Tsinghua University, but the major of Peking University's Department of Economics is more in line with my interests and career plans. Please understand!"
The admissions teacher of Tsinghua University nodded helplessly. Although he felt regretful, he was still full of expectations for Jiang Ruoxi's future. Before leaving, he said sincerely: "Student Jiang Ruoxi, the road to study is long. If you want to continue your postgraduate studies in the future, the door of Tsinghua University is always open to you and welcomes you at any time!"
Jiang Ruoxi smiled and responded: "I will consider it. Thank you again for your kindness!"
After seeing off the admissions teacher from Tsinghua University, Jiang Ruoxi turned around and saw the admissions teacher from Peking University, who was already smiling, handing over the admission letter that carried dreams and hopes with both hands.
Jiang Ruoxi took it with both hands, and gently stroked the gold-plated words on the notice with her fingers, her heart filled with excitement and emotion. At this moment, she seemed to see herself studying hard and participating in academic discussions in the future on the campus of Kyoto University, and seeing herself devoting herself to the economic field after graduation and working hard for the country's economic development.
Lu Tingxiao gently put his arm around her shoulders, his eyes full of pride, "Wife, congratulations, you finally realized your dream!"
Jiang Ruoxi looked up at him, her eyes slightly reddened: "Thanks to your support, otherwise it would be hard for me to persevere!" Lu Tingxiao said gently: "Next, I will help you prepare for school. With me here, you don't have to worry about anything!"
In the following days, Lu Tingxiao accompanied Jiang Ruoxi to buy daily necessities and study materials needed for school enrollment. From suitcases to notebooks, each item was carefully selected. At the same time, Jiang Ruoxi also began to learn about the course settings of the Department of Economics at Peking University in advance and read relevant professional books to make full preparations for the upcoming university life.
When Jiang Ruoxi received the notice, January was almost over. In just seven days, the New Year's bell would ring, and the whole world was filled with the festive atmosphere of the upcoming holiday. After discussing with Lu Tingxiao, she decided to take advantage of this precious time before school started to go back to Beijing to visit both sets of parents, as well as Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
Lu Tingxiao was thinking about this matter, and he hurried to Teacher Xie's office the next day. Before he could say anything, Commander Xie understood what he meant and said with a smile, "Xiao Lu, when you came here, I knew you were here to ask for leave. But this time, you don't need to ask for leave. Just pack up your things and report to the Beijing Military Academy after the New Year!" Lu Tingxiao was stunned when he heard this, and his face was full of confusion.
Seeing this, Commander Xie patiently explained, "You have been training hard and seriously recently, and you have also actively led other soldiers to make progress together. Your performance is very outstanding. It just so happens that this year the military region has a valuable quota for further study in the military academy. After repeated consideration and research, the superiors unanimously decided to give you this opportunity!"
Lu Tingxiao suddenly realized what was going on, and he felt an indescribable joy in his heart. He knew that this must have been the result of Master Xie's hard work and efforts behind his back.
Commander Xie patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Study hard. I hope you can use the knowledge you have learned to shine for the army and make greater contributions in the future!" Lu Tingxiao's eyes were slightly red. He stood at attention and saluted solemnly, "Thank you, Commander!"
Coming out of the commander's office, Lu Tingxiao walked briskly, his entire body immersed in great joy. As soon as he got off work, he rushed home impatiently. As soon as he pushed the door open, he excitedly shouted into the house: "Wife, we don't have to separate! The commander recommended me to the military academy, and I can go to Beijing with you!"
Jiang Ruoxi was busy in the kitchen helping Aunt Chen and Aunt Lan. When she heard this, she turned around in surprise and almost dropped the spatula in her hand: "Really? Tingxiao!"
Lu Tingxiao walked quickly to her side, held her shoulders with both hands, and nodded seriously, "Really! However, the military academy has strict management, so I may not be able to go home every week like you do. Sometimes I may not be able to go home for several weeks, and I may also receive an emergency mission. But as long as I think about being close to you and your mother, I feel at ease!"
Jiang Ruoxi's eyes were moist, but a happy smile appeared on the corners of her mouth: "It's good to be together. You can study with peace of mind, I'm at home!" Aunt Chen and Aunt Lan accompanied the three babies to sleep tonight. The babies knew that their parents had something to say, so they were very obedient. When it was time to go to bed at night, they consciously followed Aunt Chen and Aunt Lan back to the room to sleep.
After Lu Tingxiao and Jiang Ruoxi had their baby, they rarely spent time alone together. They lay on the bed, looking forward to their future life in Beijing. Lu Tingxiao asked in detail about the location of Jiang Ruoxi's school, thinking that even if he couldn't go home often in the future, he would still make time to visit her and the children.
The night was as dark as ink, quietly enveloping the entire house. The children in the next room had already fallen into a sweet dream, and the sound of their even breathing passed through the wall like the soft harmony of a nocturne.
Lu Tingxiao gently held her waist. His palms were broad and warm, rubbing Jiang Ruoxi's waist constantly through the thin clothes, transmitting the hot temperature.
Lu Tingxiao lowered his head and placed a gentle kiss on Jiang Ruoxi's forehead. His breath was slightly warm, and it fell on her skin, causing her to shiver unconsciously. Jiang Ruoxi raised her eyes and looked into his gaze affectionately, her eyes sparkling with love.
Lu Tingxiao could no longer suppress his inner desire. He slowly moved his lips closer and gently covered Jiang Ruoxi's lips. This kiss was gentle and lingering, as if expressing long-standing longing and attachment. Jiang Ruoxi closed her eyes, intoxicated by the sweet kiss. She unconsciously wrapped her arms around Lu Tingxiao's neck, responding to his passion.
Their kiss became deeper and deeper. Lu Tingxiao's hand gently stroked Jiang Ruoxi's back and he held her tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to melt her into his body. Jiang Ruoxi's cheeks flushed and her breathing became rapid. In this quiet night, they fully enjoyed each other's love and forgot the trivialities and fatigue of life.
Lu Tingxiao's hand gently touched Jiang Ruoxi's face, his thumb gently stroking her cheek, then slowly moved down, his fingers running through her soft hair.
Lu Tingxiao's kiss was filled with endless affection, from Jiang Ruoxi's lips, all the way to her neck, and every kiss seemed to express his love. Jiang Ruoxi hugged Lu Tingxiao's back tightly with her arms, her body trembling slightly as she responded to his passion.
In this silent night, they forgot all the disturbances in the outside world. Only the sounds of each other's breathing intertwined together, weaving a sweet melody that belonged only to them.
After a long while, the two slowly separated, their foreheads touching, their breaths intertwined. Lu Tingxiao whispered softly, "Xi Baoer, my life is complete with you and the child. I really hope I can always be with you like this!" Jiang Ruoxi raised the corners of her mouth and whispered, "Me too. Although life is busy, everything becomes so beautiful as long as you are with me!"
The next morning, the faint light of dawn shone through the window, shining on Lu Tingxiao's resolute face. He got up early and washed up quietly, for fear of disturbing Jiang Ruoxi and the children who were still sleeping. After a simple breakfast, Lu Tingxiao hurried to the troops. As soon as he arrived at the office, he couldn't wait to call his childhood friend Sun Zhijun.
As soon as the call was connected, Lu Tingxiao said anxiously, "Zhijun, it's me, Tingxiao. I have something to trouble you with. My wife and I are going back to Beijing in a few days. Can you help me find a truck to transport the things at home that are difficult to take on the train?"
Sun Zhijun laughed heartily on the other end of the phone: "What's up, Tingxiao? Have you been transferred back to Beijing?"
"No, I went to Beijing to attend military school, and my wife was admitted to Beijing University. We may be in Beijing for the next three or four years. It is not certain whether we will return to Liao Province. Some of the children's things have to be moved back to Beijing!"
"I thought you were transferred back to Beijing, but now that the New Year is approaching, it's difficult to arrange a car. I'll write to you this afternoon. Whether there is a car or not, I will definitely let you know the first time. If it really doesn't work, we can think of other ways together!" Lu Tingxiao felt relieved after hearing this. He thanked him repeatedly and hung up the phone.
Lu Tingxiao spent the entire morning in the army thinking about the truck. He finally made it to noon. He ate a few bites of lunch and then returned to the office. He looked out the window from time to time, hoping for Sun Zhijun's call.
Finally, the phone rang, and Lu Tingxiao picked up the receiver almost instantly. Sun Zhijun's voice came over: "Tingxiao, I've worked so hard and finally found a truck for you! The driver said he can come the day after tomorrow. Is it in time?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Tingxiao was overjoyed and said quickly, "Hurry up, hurry up! Thank you so much, Zhijun! When I return to Beijing, I will definitely treat you to a nice meal!"
After get off work, Lu Tingxiao returned home excitedly. As soon as he entered the house, he saw Jiang Ruoxi packing the children's luggage with Aunt Chen and Aunt Lan.
He walked up quickly, hugged Jiang Ruoxi, and said happily: "Wife, I have good news for you! Zhijun has helped us find a truck, and we can transport the goods to Beijing the day after tomorrow!" Jiang Ruoxi's eyes were full of surprise when she heard it: "That's great! Now we can worry less!" Aunt Chen and Aunt Lan on the side also showed relieved smiles.
For the next two days, the whole family was busy preparing. Lu Tingxiao and Jiang Ruoxi carefully sorted and packed the children's clothes, toys, and some daily necessities, and put labels on them to make it easier to find them when they arrived in Beijing.
Aunt Chen and Aunt Lan were busy preparing food for the journey. They boiled tea eggs, made fragrant pancakes, and fried the crispy pork that the children loved. The three babies were also very excited. They ran around the room, looking at this box and touching that package, and kept asking, "Mom and Dad, when are we leaving?"
"When the truck arrives tomorrow, we'll follow it and take us to the train station. Our train leaves at 1pm!" Lu Tingxiao and the babies said.
The next morning, the truck stopped at the doorstep. Lu Tingxiao and a few soldiers who helped him loaded the packed luggage onto the truck one by one and secured them carefully. While Lu Tingxiao was loading the car, Jiang Ruoxi said goodbye to the neighbors one by one. The neighbors' sisters-in-law were reluctant to leave Jiang Ruoxi and the children, and asked them to come back often when they had time.
Lu Tingxiao moved the luggage onto the carriage one by one and stacked them neatly. After confirming that everything was in order, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and shouted into the room, "Everything is packed, let's go!"
Jiang Ruoxi held the three children, followed by Aunt Chen and Aunt Lan, and locked the door. The children were so excited that their faces turned red. They jumped and ran towards the truck, shouting, "We are going to ride in a big car!"
Lu Tingxiao hurried forward, carried the children into the car first, and helped Aunt Chen and Aunt Lan get in and sit down, and then helped Jiang Ruoxi get in the car.
With the roar of the engine, the truck started slowly. Outside the car window, the familiar street scene slowly receded. Jiang Ruoxi gently leaned on Lu Tingxiao's shoulder, her eyes full of longing for her future life.
Soon, the train station came into view. The truck stopped steadily. Lu Tingxiao jumped out of the car, walked around to the other side and opened the door. He first carried the children down, and then helped Jiang Ruoxi and the others with their luggage.
Before getting off the truck, Lu Tingxiao took out two boxes of Hongtashan cigarettes from his pocket, walked quickly to the truck driver, and handed them to him with both hands: "Master, you have worked hard on this journey. This is just a small gift, not a token of respect!"
The driver waved his hands and declined: "No, no, this is what I have to do!" Lu Tingxiao smiled and put the cigarette into the driver's hand: "Master, please accept it. This is a gift from me. I'll trouble you to deliver the things in the car to Beijing!" The driver took the cigarette with embarrassment and showed a simple smile on his face: "Okay, thank you very much, and have a safe journey!"
Jiang Ruoxi took the children, Aunt Chen and Aunt Lan onto the train first. As the train slowly started moving, Lu Tingxiao watched the familiar scenery outside the window gradually disappear into the distance, his heart filled with anticipation for the future.
He turned to look at Jiang Ruoxi and the children, their faces filled with happy smiles. This journey back to Beijing is not only a simple migration, but also the beginning of a new life for their family.
