On the 23rd, Geng Yue, her boyfriend Wang Jiadong, and Liu Jiaman arrived in Beijing together. Shen Anning and Xu Hongxia went to the station to pick them up. The place they stayed was found by Cao Jingheng, which was the Cao family's house.
The Cao family owns a lot of properties in Beijing. After all, they were once the richest family. Now there are still many sets that have not been taken back. Some are in government offices, and some have been converted into slums. Shen Anning knows that the issue of repossessing houses can only be resolved slowly. In a year or two, there will be specific policies. Sooner or later, this housing problem will have to be solved.
Shen Anning took a few people on the bus to a small courtyard near Beijing Normal University. The courtyard was not big, and there were only eight rooms in total including the kitchen. He unlocked the door and said, "Come in quickly. You must be tired from the long bus ride. I came here to clean up yesterday. I also brought some vegetables and dried noodles, which I put in the kitchen."
Geng Yue was also a little surprised when she looked at the small courtyard. She had heard a lot about the housing shortage in Beijing on the train ride here. They had originally planned to stay in a guesthouse. "An Ning, thank you so much for finding such a good place for us. It's close to the school, and it will be convenient for us to check in in a few days."
Xu Hongxia smiled playfully, "This house belongs to An Ning's partner, you can live there without worry."
Geng Yue and Liu Jiaman were very surprised to hear that Shen Anning was dating someone, especially Liu Jiaman. She didn't expect that it had only been a short time since she last saw her sisters, and they had already been taken away by another dog.
Xu Hongxia made five bowls of noodles. After everyone had eaten their fill, they sat down to chat. Renmin University and Peking University both started school on the 26th, while Normal University would start two days later, on the 28th. "Yueyue, Jiaman, you can stay here without worry. If you have any luggage that's difficult to take to school, put it here first and come back when you need it."
Geng Yue and Liu Jiaman naturally agreed happily. It was okay for Liu Jiaman as she was single, but the bedding and clothes took up a lot of space. Geng Yue and her husband had to bring more things, so the parents of both families packed one package after another, including those brought in the car and those sent by post.
Shen Anning thought about his little money-making plan, looked at Geng Yue and asked, "Yueyue, freshmen are generally not allowed to live outside the school, but the school policy should be different for married students. You and Wang Chengdong should discuss it. You are students from the normal school, and there is Jiaman Hongxia. The schools of several of us are pretty good. Now that the university has just started recruiting students, the industry of tutoring students will definitely be popular. I was thinking that we can run a tutoring class in this small courtyard. Do you want to live here?"
Geng Yue was completely surprised. She and Wang Chengdong sold their jobs when they came to school this time. Although they sold them to relatives, because the positions were good, they sold the two jobs for 1,200 yuan. Together with the money given by their parents-in-law and parents and the salary they had saved before, the total amount was more than 2,000 yuan. The couple had originally planned to live frugally in the past few years of college, find a part-time job to earn money during the winter and summer vacations, and strive to stay in Beijing after graduation. Unexpectedly, they started making money right from the beginning?
"An Ning, Cheng Dong and I definitely agree. Then we'll go to school on the day of registration and apply for day study."
"Okay, the school is definitely busy right after the semester starts, so we need to do a lot of preparation to open this cram school. I'll print some flyers, and we'll go to the square and the factory staff quarters to distribute them on Saturdays and Sundays. It'll be a bit hard for you to live here on weekdays. I won't charge you rent, so don't be polite to me. If someone comes to ask, introduce them and register them. If you meet promising teaching talents at the university, try to invite them over. You'll be paid by the hours you teach."
When Shen Anning told Xu Hongxia and Liu Jiaman about her plan, they both agreed with both hands. Xu Hongxia even hugged Shen Anning exaggeratedly, "Anning, I knew that there would be meat to eat if I followed you. Really, I will follow you for the rest of my life."
In fact, Shen An Ning did this for her own reasons. The Cao and Shen families had many houses near various schools in Beijing. Not only did they spend money to clean up the houses as juniors, but they also had seven or eight courtyards with entrances. It would be a waste to just leave them there. If they rented them out, she was afraid that the tenants would have bad character and cause trouble in the future. After much thought, she decided to open a cram school. This would not only solve the problem, but also allow her to get to know more classmates and build up her network.
Shen Anning herself did not intend to directly participate in the teaching work, because she had to attend school classes and learn Chinese medicine from her master, and she was already too busy to have any spare time. Liu Jiaman majored in accounting, so she was in charge of the financial transactions of the entire tutoring institution. Xu Hongxia majored in management and temporarily served as the acting principal of the entire tutoring institution. Geng Yue was the commander-in-chief of the liberal arts group, and Wang Chengdong was in charge of the science group.
On the day of registration, Cao Jingheng rode his bicycle to take Shen Anning to Peking University. The school stipulated that students living locally could apply for day study. Because the number of students admitted this year was not large, and the previous batch of workers, peasants and soldiers were about to graduate and leave, the school's accommodation pressure was not that great. Shen Anning also applied for a bed to use for her lunch break, but she had to pay the accommodation fee. Once the next year's students arrived, if there were not enough beds, she would have to move out.
Cao Jingheng helped her make the bed and cleaned the dormitory. "I'll go downstairs and wait for you. I'll take you out for lunch later."
"Okay, you go down first. I'll come find you after I get to know my roommate." On the first day of registration, Shen Anning was the first to arrive. She didn't often live in the dormitory, so she chose the upper bunk. When she was making her bed, two more people came in one after another. They just said hello briefly and didn't get to know each other yet.
The other two classmates probably didn't know each other either. After they packed their things, they sat on the bed to sort out their clothes. Shen Anning walked over and took the initiative to say, "Hello, my name is Shen Anning. I'm 21 years old, from Beijing, and I used to be an educated youth in Northeast China."
"Hello, hello, my name is Wu Siqi. I'm from Liaoning in Northeast China. I'm twenty years old this year. I started studying late, and it just so happened that the college entrance examination was resumed right after I graduated from high school." Shen Anning looked at the girl who was 1.7 meters tall. She could tell at a glance that she was from the north.
The other girl was very pretty, wearing patterned clothes. "Hello, my name is Wang Ping. I'm from Suzhou, Jiangsu Province. I'm 22 years old. I used to be an educated youth in the countryside of our city."
The three of them got to know each other better. Wu Siqi, a gossipy person, asked directly, "Hey, is the guy An Ning just saw your boyfriend?"
"Yes, we've known each other for a long time, but we just confirmed our relationship not long ago. He used to be a soldier, and now he's retired and works at the Public Security Bureau."
Wu Siqi and Wang Ping looked at each other. No wonder, when they pushed the door open just now, they saw Cao Jingheng's eyes and always felt like they were being stared at.
Before the others arrived, Shen Anning said hello to her two roommates and left. "By the way, we have a fixed amount of food every month. Remember to go to the tutor to get food coupons and money. Ao, let me tell you a secret. The food in the cafeteria on the first day of school is the most abundant. Go and have a look while there are few people."
