Yan Rushan's eyes were deep. "Yes, yes. In order to grab a position, these problems can be ignored."
"Okay." Zhong Yuxiu stopped asking. In the next ten years or so, when the transportation industry developed, all the problems would be solved. "Brother Yan, do you sleep on the upper or lower bunk?"
"Lower bunk, you go to the upper one." It's not safe for a little girl to sleep on the lower bunk.
Zhong Yuxiu bent down and pulled out the suitcase, took out the physics and chemistry books from it, and stuffed the suitcase back into her suitcase. She quickly climbed to the upper bunk, put the books next to her, and lay down.
"Brother Yan, I need to catch up on some sleep."
"Yeah." Yan Rushan glanced at the upper bunk and lay down on his side.
Zhong Yuxiu couldn't sleep well in the new environment. She felt even more sleepy when she woke up in a daze. She sat up and rubbed her head. She heard a woman mumbling. She looked in the direction of the sound and saw two women on the upper bunk opposite talking in a low voice.
He must have come in after she fell asleep.
The two people opposite also looked over, and one of them said apologetically, "Comrade, I'm sorry for waking you."
"No, it's just that I couldn't sleep well. You guys continue." Zhong Yuxiu came down from the ladder next to the bunk, only to see Yan Rushan also awake, leaning against the carriage and flipping through a book. "Brother Yan, you're awake too."
Yan Rushan nodded, "Where are you going?"
"Wash your face and wake up. I'll be back in a bit." Zhong Yuxiu walked straight out of the train and found the restroom. The smell inside was unpleasant. She didn't want to go to the bathroom, so she simply washed her face and headed back. On the way, she saw the crew delivering food and took note. "Brother Yan, I see they sell food on the train. Do you want to go and have some?"
"The food on the train is greasy and tastes bad." Some of it was even rotten, so Yan Rushan refused it immediately.
Zhong Yuxiu really didn't know any of this. The three times she traveled through to the modern era were all times of steady technological development, and she really didn't understand the things of that era.
"I see! But I'm hungry."
Yan Rushan pointed to the small table in front of the bed, on which was a gray cloth bag. "Take it yourself."
"Okay." He walked to Yan Rushan's bed and sat down. He opened the gray cloth bag, took out two braised eggs and handed one to him. "Brother Yan, here you go."
Yan Rushan shook his head to decline. Zhong Yuxiu smiled as she took the two back, peeled them, and ate them both to fill her stomach temporarily.
"Brother Yan, how much is this? I'll eat as much as I want. I'll pay for it."
"It's just a few dollars, no need to pay."
Zhong Yuxiu: “….” I’m poor.
There was harm.
Zhong Yuxiu ate half a pancake in one go and climbed onto the bed to read. Even though they were all books she had read before, she still felt that she had gained something from picking them up again. The saying "Read a book a hundred times and its meaning will become clear" is not empty talk.
During the four-day train journey, the braised eggs and pancakes Yan Rushan bought were barely enough for the two of them.
Walking out of the train station, Zhong Yuxiu couldn't help but take a deep breath of the fresh air of Beijing; the train was crowded and stuffy, and inconvenient everywhere. At this moment, she could still hear the clanging sound echoing in her ears.
"Brother Yan, thank you for your care along the way. Goodbye." Then they parted.
"Where do you plan to settle down?" Yan Rushan asked.
Zhong Yuxiu's eyebrows curved slightly, "Let's go find a hotel near Huada University first."
"Give me your luggage, I'll take you there. I'm familiar with the area around Huada University." He stretched out his hand, his joints were slender.
"Brother, brother, here."
A young boy of fifteen or sixteen was waving his hands and jumping around.
Yan Rushan looked in the direction of the voice. Zhong Yuxiu glanced at the man and smiled, "Brother Yan, I appreciate your kindness. You just came back, so go home quickly." Without giving Yan Rushan a chance to speak again, she opened the suitcase, took out the admission notice from the storage ring with the help of her clothes, handed it to him, and turned to leave.
Yan Rushan held the admission letter in his hand, frowned slightly, and did not force it; the young man couldn't wait and ran over, his eyes full of joy.
"Brother, who was that female comrade just now? Why did she leave?"
"Ruhai, why are you here to pick me up?" The person who came was his only younger brother, Yan Ruhai.
Yan Ruhai said with a smile: "Brother, you haven't been back for a long time. I miss you."
"Go ahead, with a smile on your face." Yan Rushan stuffed the suitcase into his hand, put the admission letter close to his body, and strode straight away.
......
Zhong Yuxiu asked all the way to the vicinity of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, which took her nearly an hour. She found a nearby hotel to stay in, and fell into bed and slept well all night without even having dinner. The next day, she got up, washed herself thoroughly, and then went downstairs to find the hotel front desk.
"Hello, sister, can I ask you something?"
"Sure, what do you want to know?" The receptionist was a young woman with a square face. She looked out of shape and must have just given birth.
Zhong Yuxiu smiled and stuffed two dollars into her pocket before saying, "Is there any house for rent or sale nearby?"
It took five days to get there. It was already the end of the month, and there were only three days left before school started, so we had to find a fixed place to stay quickly.
The young woman took the money and looked at her with a smile, "Are you an educated youth who just returned to the city?"
"I guess so. I got into Hua University and I want to find a house closer to the school."
The young woman was slightly startled by these words, but her attitude visibly became more friendly. "Hello, college students! Sister, you're incredible, actually getting into Hua University. I heard that the admission score for Hua University was quite high this year, and many people didn't get in. I have a nephew who also took the exam, intending to study in Beijing. I didn't expect him to be accepted out of town. Tell me what happened."
"Thank you for the compliment. We all study there to build our country. It's only a few years, and it goes by so quickly."
"That's right," the young woman said enthusiastically. "You've found the right person to look for a house. I have a house that a friend of a relative of a relative is selling. The yard isn't big, but it's big enough for you to live in by yourself."
Zhong Yuxiu's eyes moved slightly, "I don't know where it is."
"It's next to Huazhong University of Science and Technology. It only takes about ten minutes to walk from his house to Huazhong University of Science and Technology."
"That's great. Please tell me the specific address. I want to go and have a look now. It will be troublesome to move after school starts in a few days, and it will also affect my studies." It must be said that she was tempted.
The young woman smiled brightly. "Seeing you're anxious, I'll go with you to look at houses. Wait a moment, I'll ask someone to help look after me for a while."
"Okay, then I'll trouble you, sister." It doesn't matter if the house is small. The main thing is to settle down first. We can change to a bigger one in the future when we have the chance. The house in Beijing will not depreciate.
The young woman went out for a while and came back with a woman of the same age. The woman looked at Zhong Yuxiu for a long time and nodded as a greeting.
"Sister, let's go, let's go quickly." The young woman pulled Zhong Yuxiu out. As they walked along the road, Zhong Yuxiu asked, "Sister, my last name is Zhong. I don't know yours yet."
"You scholars are so polite. I didn't even think to ask your family name." The young woman smiled. "My last name is Lian. You can just call me Sister Lian. So, I'll call you Sister Zhong."
Zhong Yuxiu chuckled and nodded, "Okay, Sister Lian."
