Chapter 404: New Chapter, the Start of School
The next morning, Tang Mei got up early and cooked glutinous rice balls.
Lu Miao had just woken up and didn't have much of an appetite, so he sat at the table and ate four of them, then scooped the rest from the bowl to Fu Jingyou.
Lu Miao gave Tang Mei and Lu Yuanzheng one key to the new door lock each.
By the way, I also talked about the results of my discussion with Fu Jingyou last night.
Tang Mei heard that they might stay in Qingta Hutong at night and not come back, and she was worried that they would not have enough bedding and would sleep cold.
After busying around, he collected two more quilts.
Tang Mei would need these things later, so Lu Miao didn't refuse and loaded them all into the car and took them over first.
When he got to the West Second Ring Road, Lu Yuanzheng went to school first.
It was still early, and Lu Miao and Fu Jingyou were busy in the yard for a while before going to school with their household registration pages and admission notices.
Compared to the solemn silence of the two schools with locked gates a few days ago, today is extremely lively.
Students from all over the country, young and old, came here.
As if they had made an appointment in advance, students from all over the country carried their bedding on their backs and held net bags containing washbasins and toiletries in their hands.
They were all covered in dust and bruises from working on the road, but their eyes were bright as fire.
They really crossed the single-plank bridge of the college entrance examination!
Knowledge changes destiny. All students are burning with passion, looking forward to rewriting their own destiny. They are even more eager to contribute to the country in the future, to make it strong and to rewrite its destiny.
Fu Jingyou had just arrived in this area and was worried, so he sent Lu Miao to the Military Region University first, and then went back to Renmin University.
As soon as he entered Renmin University, an arm was placed on Fu Jingyou's shoulder.
"Comrade Fu, my name is Ling Yuan. We met at the Qianmen Hotel last time."
Fu Jingyou glanced at the young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes beside him, nodded and called out "Comrade Ling".
"I majored in agriculture, what about you?"
"Mechanical and electrical engineering."
"Mechanical and electrical?! A technician!"
Fu Jingyou smiled warmly, "It's all the same."
The two of them walked into the park together.
On the other side, Lu Miao had already registered and received the payment slip, and was queuing upstairs to get the books.
I just saw the message posted on the wooden bulletin board down below.
Because there is no foreign language subject in this college entrance examination, relevant majors must take a separate examination before formal classes.
The purpose is to evaluate performance and test foundation.
If there is a big gap in foundation, the school will not recommend students to choose foreign language as their main major.
Lu Miao went downstairs after getting the books, thinking about this.
In the stairwell, a man in his thirties, wearing a Zhongshan suit and with a pen on his chest, came towards us. Behind him were seven or eight classmates who had not yet put down their bags.
He doesn't look like an ordinary teacher, but more like a school-level cadre.
Lu Miao dodged to the side, originally wanting to get off the main road, but she didn't expect the other party to bring his classmates and stop directly in front of her.
"Is that Mr. Lu? I saw you when you signed up just now."
Lu Miao had no choice but to stop, nodded, and said "Hello, teacher."
"I'm Committee Member Secretary Zou."
Secretary Zou raised his hand and asked Lu Miao to look at the people behind him, and said with a smile:
"You are selected students of the school. The school has arranged a professional photographer to take your pictures. Now you need to gather under the red flag at the north gate."
Lu Miao immediately came to his senses.
The students behind Secretary Zou are probably the top scorers from various provinces.
Secretary Zou turned around and Lu Miao followed him with a book in his arms.
The others had already met before, and as soon as she followed, someone immediately said:
"My name is Wang Mei, I'm from Shandong, his name is Hu Song, he's from Zhejiang, and her..."
After pointing around, Wang Mei asked:
"Your accent is the same as the one I heard on the road after getting off the train. Are you the top scholar in the capital?"
Lu Miao shook his head truthfully, "I was an educated youth from northern Beijing who went south. I took the exam and came back from the south."
Lu Miao spoke vaguely.
She was afraid that the news that she couldn't use an abacus would spread too widely, and when she told others which county she had taken the exam from, they would make fun of her.
So everyone just asked briefly and then started talking about their professional matters.
Including her, there were nine people in the group, four of whom studied agriculture, two studied Russian, one studied engineering and architecture, and one studied physics.
Everyone has a grand plan in mind.
Hearing that Lu Miao planned to learn English, Secretary Zou was slightly surprised and immediately gave him a few words of encouragement.
The others were all unanimously surprised.
Especially the two students from the Russian department, they couldn't understand it at all.
A few years ago, there was a Russian language craze across the country, and the momentum is still continuing. Learning Russian is fine, but what’s the use of English?
Lu Miao was a little tired of explaining over and over again, so he simply acted shy and not good at speaking, smiled awkwardly, and said nothing.
Fortunately, we arrived at the north gate soon.
The photographer had been waiting for a long time with a Japanese-made Sony SLR camera, which was rare in that era.
Unlike the old-fashioned retro cameras in various county towns, the small foreign camera equipment immediately diverted everyone's attention.
The photographer waved his hand and, together with Secretary Zou, guided everyone to stand and pose.
Lu Miao let out a long sigh, feeling that dealing with people was really tiring, but he could only run forward with a book in his arms.
The Military Region University is a "famous" university among universities.
This time, the college entrance examination was resumed, and a total of 632 students were admitted, including specially selected students and specially recruited students.
The neighboring Beijing Normal University admitted more than 4,000 students.
Renmin University also has more than 4,000 students.
The military university admitted few students, so Lu Miao could have gone back very early.
After taking a round of photos, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon when I got home.
In the small courtyard, Fu Jingyou had already fished out the dead branches and leaves from the well.
The water pressure well has been built and he is building the pool.
Lu Miao walked closer and saw that the originally open well mouth was now tightly blocked with solid stone slabs.
"When did you get back? You're pretty quick."
"Those students have to apply for boarding on campus, which is a bit more involved. I finished signing up and will be back soon. How about you? You're back just now, haven't you eaten yet? I got some water in the kitchen. Can you scoop some for me to wash my hands? Let's go eat first."
Lu Miao shook his head and looked at the water tank that his men were nearly finished with.
"You're almost done here, wait until you're done."
"good."
Fu Jingyou nodded and quickened his movements.
Lu Miao looked at the mud color of the water well and the pond and asked curiously:
"What is this? It doesn't look like cement. Will it work?"
"This is mortar. I asked for directions, dug up some clay, and mixed it myself."
Cement is generally hard to buy. Fu Jingyou came back and walked around the market several times, but as expected, he didn't buy any.
However, although he didn't buy cement, he did get some lime powder, which he mixed with fine sand and clay to make mortar.
Lu Miao had some impression of mortar.
