Chapter 132 Official Report

Hang Jingshu had never seen anyone run so fast.

I thought of my senior brother Wang Yang’s major, oh, veterinary medicine.

That's normal.

This kind of work is very difficult to control.

There were still a few days before the official enrollment, and when Hang Jingshu and his family arrived at the registration office they realized that they had arrived too early.

There was only an auntie guarding the registration office. She looked at the Hang family in surprise and said, "You came too early. Registration hasn't officially started yet."

Hang Jingshu touched his nose. He had never been to college in his life, so he was so excited.

My third brother Hang Chenggang did say that we don’t need to go there too early. The school will arrange a bus to pick us up on the right day, and when we arrive at the school, someone arranged by the Student Union will take us to register.

As a result, Wang Silan and Hang Jingshu were very excited. They arrived early, and the school’s car to welcome the new students had not been arranged yet!

It is normal for Hang Jingshu not to know this. Wang Silan and Hang Renshan have been to Beijing to send their son to school, so they should know these procedures.

But we were poor at that time, and buying two extra train tickets was a burden.

The couple sent their son onto the train and got off quickly.

This is the first time in history that a man can send his daughter to school without feeling any regret.

Wang Silan was still calm when she heard that she couldn't arrange a dormitory yet. She stuffed a few candies to the auntie who was guarding the door and said, "Okay, we won't bother you here anymore. Let's go somewhere else first."

After saying this, the Hang family turned around and prepared to put the things back to the guesthouse.

As a result, as they were walking, they met Wang Yang, who was exhausted from leading the cow.

As he walked, he kept muttering to Niu: "My ancestor, why are you running away? If I run away, the instructor will scold me. If I had known earlier, I would have chosen to raise chickens like Brother Li..."

“Moo——!”

Wang Yang was walking in front of the Hang family and did not see Hang Jingshu who had already come out.

Hang Jingshu found it quite interesting. How many breeds can the seniors who study veterinary medicine raise?

These few years in college should be very interesting.

The reporting time written on the notification letter is September 1st to 3rd, so you can report during this period.

What to do with the next few days of wealth?

Of course it’s for fun!

With two daughters looking after her at home, Wang Silan felt relieved.

If she hadn't insisted that it would be inconvenient for the child to come along, Wang Silan would have wanted to plan a family trip.

If you don’t want to come, then don’t come. Just buy some more things and take them back.

I heard the tea here is very good?

Buy!

If we can’t buy the first batch, we can buy the second-rate one.

Wang Silan remembered the care the Yan family had given their daughter. They couldn't just let their daughter go to college and act as if nothing had happened.

We should always show some appreciation to dignitaries during festivals.

Wang Silan had a keen sense of smell, so she took Hang Jingshu and went straight to the commercial street in the city. There were no specialized specialty stores at that time.

Some tea leaves even need to be purchased directly from the place where the tea is grown. Hang Jingshu finds this experience quite novel.

It turns out that tea mountains are stacked like this, and it turns out that the tenderest tea leaves in the middle are so expensive.

We also tried a lot of local specialties, including various pots, rice dumplings, crispy candies and various bean products.

The famous stinky mandarin fish tastes okay, but it tastes even better when eaten in various home-style restaurants.

Since there was no need to report it for the time being, Hang Jingshu accompanied his family to go shopping and eat. Since he was young and strong, he went hiking and saw scenery he had never seen before.

If only we had smartphones now.

On the 31st, Hang Jingshu sent his parents and third brother on the train. His third brother had already bought a train ticket to Beijing, and he went straight back to school after getting home and picking up his luggage.

Because he arrived earlier than others, when September 1st came, compared to the nervousness and expectation of other freshmen, Hang Jingshu seemed much calmer.

The school held a welcome party for new students in the auditorium. Hang Jingshu traveled light and found his major carrying only his personal belongings.

The person standing there was still Yao Xingjian. It seemed that she had been doing this job for several years and was particularly adept at dealing with freshmen who were as confused as little sheep.

The auditorium was noisy and we couldn't hear each other clearly. Yao Xingjian was very experienced and took out a rolled-up paper loudspeaker to announce: "Students majoring in plant production, follow me!"

Under the guidance of their senior sister, Hang Jingshu and several male and female classmates completed the admission procedures.

First register, then pay the textbook fees. Although there is no tuition fee now, the textbook fees are still a considerable expense.

In remote and poor areas, it may be impossible to send children to school.

Many people just go to a nearby high school and that's it.

Anyway, both high schools and technical secondary schools assign jobs, so what difference does going to university make!

After all, only a few people can go to university locally.

It is difficult for an ordinary rural family to support one college student, and if there is another one, it will be difficult to support it even if they grit their teeth.

Tuition is free, but living expenses and train tickets do cost money.

They also have to buy various daily necessities. It can be said that the gap between the rich and the poor can be seen from the moment they enter the school gate.

Not to mention the 1980s, even in the early 1990s, there were still many remote areas where people could not get enough food.

In 1998, there was a severe flood in the south, and the north was not much better. There was a river right outside the door of the house, and the children sat in big basins to catch fish.

Later, when the fish were gone, the villages that were severely flooded moved away collectively, while those that were not severely flooded continued to dig ditches and build reservoirs to prepare for the future.

The fields at home were soaked and there was no harvest of food. In addition, people affected by the disaster in the south came to the north to beg. When the rice was gone, they had to eat miscellaneous grains, such as potatoes, sweet potatoes and cornmeal.

It’s not so bad if you don’t have Hetao land, but it would be really difficult if your family depends on Hetao land for food.

I can’t even afford food at home, let alone going to college. The most important thing is to stay alive!

"This is our dormitory building. Come and get the keys."

Yao Xingjian's voice brought Hang Jingshu back to reality. Hang Jingshu and several female classmates were given keys.

A simple small iron plate was tied to the key, with 206 written on it and a school emblem of Huinong University attached to it.

"Thank you, Senior Sister. You can go and do your work."

Seeing that Yao Xingjian was in a hurry, Hang Jingshu hurriedly thanked him.

Yao Xingjian must have been very busy these days, as he had to take a few male classmates to the boys' dormitory.

I guess other seniors are also busy.

The five girls put their keys together and found out that their dormitory numbers were 205, 206 and 207.

A person with a ponytail walked up to Hang Jingshu with a smile and said, "It seems that we are both from 206. Hello, my name is Cui Yanyang, and I am from Jinxi."

He ran into his roommate before entering the dormitory, and Hang Jingshu thought it was a coincidence: "Hello, my name is Hang Jingshu, and I'm from northern Ji."

In terms of geographical relationships, northern Hebei and southern Henan are actually more like two brothers.

But the people in northern Hebei, southern Henan, western Shanxi and eastern Shandong are not far away, so it’s no use picking on anyone since they are in the same boat.

"Hang Jingshu?"

Cui Yanyang was in high spirits: "I didn't expect you to choose Agricultural University. I was very impressed by you when I read about you in the newspaper!"

At this time, we cannot underestimate the power of print media.

There is no entertainment in every household. Reading books, newspapers and listening to the radio are the common people's pastimes.

Hang Jingshu didn't want to be treated like a monkey here, so he quickly pulled Cui Yanyang upstairs and said, "Let's go pick out the beds first."
