Chapter 488
There was a waste collection station not far from their alley. When Tang Wan passed by, there were already quite a few people picking things inside.
There are many teachers and young intellectuals who want to pick up some textbooks and discarded exercise books.
Tang Wan looked around inside but didn't find any valuable books.
I guess most of the things have already been bought by people with discerning tastes.
She was looking down when a familiar voice called her, "Doctor Tang."
Tang Wan raised her eyes in surprise and saw Liu Lan collecting homework books not far away.
Liu Lan, Xiangzi's wife who escaped from the Huzhuang Brigade, has unexpectedly appeared in Kyoto.
"It's you."
"It's me, Doctor Tang."
Liu Lan has changed a lot from before. Although her skin is still a little dark and has not fully recovered, her colorless eyes are glowing with vitality.
"Thank you for helping me before, otherwise I definitely wouldn't be able to leave Huzhuang Brigade."
"I didn't do you any favors. The person who got you the letter of recommendation was the one who really did you a favor."
After all, Tang Wan couldn't do it, and if the captain knew, he wouldn't agree.
"It was Comrade Lu Qing who helped me. Because of you, I was able to escape the fire and return home."
Liu Lan said with tears in her eyes, "Although there is no place for me at home anymore.
But they were still very happy for me that I was admitted to university."
All of Liu Lan's brothers and sisters have married and started their own families. When she returned home, she saw that her elderly parents had fulfilled their dreams.
So she came to Kyoto alone, hoping to carve out a niche for herself here.
"That's great. Where's Comrade Lu Qing?"
Tang Wan greeted her with a smile, probably because it was a very happy thing to meet an acquaintance in a foreign place.
"She stayed in Haishi to go to school."
Liu Lan is different from Lu Qing. Lu Qing's family loves her very much, and even if she goes back, she will have a place to stay.
"I live next to Beijing University. Since we are all acquaintances, why don't you go to my place to get to know each other? You can visit me more often when you have time."
Tang Wan has complicated feelings towards Liu Lan. She probably feels sorry for her, but she was able to get into university under such difficult circumstances.
I guess besides being smart, she is also very hardworking and studious.
"Okay!" Tang Wan didn't give up on her, which made Liu Lan very happy. After they paid her, Tang Wan took her home. In the courtyard, Xiao Yan was holding the test paper and explaining the wrong questions to Yao Er, looking like he was very disappointed with her.
Lu Lin was also reading a book. When Tang Wan opened the door and brought Liu Lan in, everyone looked over.
"This is my daughter and Comrade Lu Lin."
Tang Wan introduced herself to them, and Yao'er and Xiaoyan obediently called her auntie.
Liu Lan looked a little embarrassed. She rubbed her sleeves and said, "Hello."
"Since we are from the same place, we are from the same hometown."
Lu Lin was also very happy to meet her fellow villager. She was very enthusiastic and did not despise Liu Lan at all, which made Liu Lan feel warm inside.
After chatting for a while, Tang Wan asked her, "School hasn't started yet, where do you live?"
"It's my cousin's house. I'm just staying here temporarily."
Liu Lan was a little embarrassed. If she wasn't about to become a college student, her cousin would not have allowed her to stay.
Even so, her cousin's in-laws still didn't like her, but she had to endure it.
"I am also staying here temporarily with Wanwan."
Lu Lin was very considerate, so he helped her out and made Liu Lan feel less embarrassed.
After finally meeting her, Tang Wan invited her to have dinner with her, but she couldn't give out some of her belongings at home.
So tonight's dishes are a little simpler, stewed pork ribs with radish and stir-fried bean sprouts.
There were many people, so Tang Wan made larger portions. Despite this, Liu Lan still ate carefully.
Fearing that the two children would not have enough to eat, Tang Wan warmly greeted her, "Eat more."
"Thank you."
Liu Lan curled the corners of her lips. This was the best meal she had had since coming to Kyoto.
At her cousin's house, her cousin was afraid that she would eat too much, so she secretly hid the meat in the bowls of the man and the child, thinking that she didn't know.
In fact, Liu Lan knew everything, but she was just living under someone else's roof, and it was a favor for others to help her, so she pretended not to know.
After dinner, Liu Lan said goodbye. She didn't tell Tang Wan where she lived, but she hoped to see her again at school.
In the past few days, Tang Wan began to take out her household belongings from the space one after another, saying that they had been delivered quickly.
More clothes and daily necessities for two children.
We also walked around to get to know the surrounding environment, and the children gradually adapted to the new school.
Yao'er has a lively personality, and with her occasional acquaintance with Ruanruan, she fits in more quickly.
Xiaoyan has a dull personality, but with Yao'er around, he doesn't have to worry about being isolated.
Finally, the day for Tang Wan and Lu Lin to report arrived. Tang Wan sent the children to school early in the morning, and then she and Lu Lin went to Peking University with the admission letters.
Lu Lin was planning to stay overnight, so they took her luggage with them.
There are already many seniors waiting at the gate of Peking University to welcome the new students.
However, most of these seniors were recommended by the former workers, peasants and soldiers. Tang Wan and her classmates were the first batch of students after the resumption of the college entrance examination.
The percentage of students admitted in this college entrance examination was not high, but the number was not small, so Tang Wan and Lu Lin were just among many students.
After registering and confirming the class dormitory location according to the prompts, Tang Wanhe sent Lu Lin to the dormitory.
Because she and Tang Wan were from the same province and studied the same major, they were assigned to the same dormitory.
They arrived early and there was no one in the dormitory yet. Just as Lu Lin was about to sit down, she saw the name marked below.
"Oh, it turns out the beds were already assigned."
Lu Lin's bed was on the upper bunk next door. She felt a little lost. She was used to sleeping on the lower bunk and always felt insecure sleeping on the upper bunk.
"I don't come to the dormitory often anyway. If you don't want to sleep on the upper bunk, let's switch."
Tang Wan brought only a simple set of bedding. If she felt tired at noon and didn't have time to go back, she planned to take a rest here for a while.
"Wanwan, you are the best."
Lu Lin was very happy. She happily moved her bedding to the bed marked with Tang Wan's name.
The two of them were tidying up quickly, and after a while, a thin woman with a pale face came in.
She looked to be in her thirties, carrying a large sack, and knocked on the door somewhat awkwardly.
"Hello."
"Hello."
Tang Wan smiled at the other party and said, "My name is Tang Wan. You are also from this dormitory, right? Come in."
The layout of this dormitory is not large, but there are three bunk beds, so it can accommodate six people.
"My name is Lu Lin."
Lu Lin turned her head and greeted the other party, then continued what she was doing. She was putting on a pillowcase.
"My name is Huani."
Hua Ni replied weakly, then lowered her head and began to walk towards the bed with her name on it.
It was the bunk next to Tang Wan. She put her bedding there. The bedding was covered with patches, but they were sewn very carefully. It was obvious that she was a very frugal person.
