The midnight snacks were all gone, including the buns and noodles; the roast duck was left unopened in the kitchen and was preserved.
It was getting late, so Zhong Yuxiu sent Yan Ruhai away, took a shower, washed her hair, and dried it. After going to bed, she sat for a while before lying down. The room was warm, and the moisture on her scalp would dry quickly.
The next day.
The three of them packed up and sat at the dining table, just about to have breakfast; no one expected Yan Rushan to come.
"Brother Yan, aren't you very busy? How do you have time to come over?" Zhong Yuxiu put down her chopsticks.
Yan Rushan followed the sound to the restaurant and sat down next to her. "I'm almost done. I was delayed in returning last night, so I can't give you the roast duck myself. I can only ask Ruhai to help."
"Thank you, Brother Yan." Zhong Yuxiu smiled, her eyebrows curved. "We haven't eaten the roast duck yet. I'll have Goudan heat it up at noon. Why don't you come back and eat it too?"
"Okay, I'll take you to the medical school later."
Zhong Yuxiu nodded slightly, "Did you come back specifically to send me to medical school?"
"Yeah." After finishing the overtime inventory last night and arranging the work that needed to be arranged, Yan Rushan came back very late. In order to send her to report to the Medical University, he got up early and rushed here.
A warm current flowed through her heart, warming her heart. Zhong Yuxiu's eyebrows were filled with joy, and she said loudly: "Goudan, bring another set of bowls and chopsticks, Brother Yan is here."
“Ding ding ding.”
The response sound came from far away and got closer. Goudan had already come to the dining table and brought the bowl and chopsticks to Yan Rushan.
Yan Rushan looked up and thanked him, "Thank you, Goudan."
Goudan pretended not to hear and returned to the kitchen as usual.
After breakfast, the group left the house. The wind was cold, and Yan Rushan took them to Yan's house. There was a small car parked outside Yan's house, and Zhong Yuxiu suddenly realized something when she saw it.
"Brother Yan, are you going to drive us there?"
"Well, I made an agreement with grandpa a few days ago. Medical University is farther away than Hua University, and it takes a long time to walk there." The key point is that it is extremely cold today.
Zhong Yuxiu smiled and asked, "Has Grandpa Yan gone to work?"
"He went there early. Yesterday was the fifteenth day of the lunar year. Grandpa has to go to work today. He went there early because he had a lot of things to do." Yan Rushan responded patiently, led the man to the passenger seat, opened the door and stuffed the man in.
Zhong Yuxiu nodded slightly. She had wanted to visit the old man, but since he was not there, she could only do it next time.
Haonan and Tian Shangguo blocked the car door.
"Comrade Zhong, Comrade Yan, I will drive, and you two please sit in the back seat." Tian Shangguo said.
Haonan said: "The front is not suitable for you two."
If there is any accident, the people in the front row will suffer first, while the people in the back row will have a chance to buffer.
"Okay then." Zhong Yuxiu stepped out of the passenger seat.
Upon hearing this, Yan Rushan handed the car keys to Tian Shangguo, opened the back door, and got in with her.
Haonan got on the passenger seat, and Tian Shangguo got in the driver's seat and drove away.
After leaving the compound, the car speeded up and arrived at the Medical University smoothly; it slowly stopped at the gate, where people were coming and going in an endless stream.
Yan Rushan got off the car first, and then led Zhong Yuxiu down.
Haonan and Tian Shangguo got out of the car one after another. Tian Shangguo returned the car keys to him and said, "Comrade Yan, thank you very much."
"You're welcome. I'm doing this for Yuxiu."
"No matter what, I still have to thank you." Haonan expressed his gratitude sincerely.
Zhong Yuxiu smiled faintly and said, "Don't bother thanking me. I have to report in first. Brother Yan, you should go and take care of your business. Comrade Hao and Tian Shangguo, will you come in with me, or wait for me outside?"
"We'll wait for you outside." Haonan wanted to follow him in, but was stopped by Tian Shangguo.
"Okay then. I'll go in first."
Zhong Yuxiu waved her hand and hurried into the medical university.
Yan Rushan retracted his gaze and said, "Comrade Hao, Comrade Tian, I'm leaving too. I'll leave Yuxiu to you."
"It's what we should do, walk slowly."
Yan Rushan drove away, but Haonan and Tian Shangguo did not hide immediately; they first observed the terrain at the door, and then dispersed and went in different directions.
The Medical University was bustling with activity and noise.
After finding the registration point, Zhong Yuxiu slowed down. There was a row of registration points under the teaching building not far ahead. One of the registration points had the words "Traditional Chinese Medicine Physiotherapy Class" posted on it, and the area around the registration point was crowded with people.
At first glance, all she saw were familiar faces in the class. Zhong Yuxiu stepped forward and squeezed into the crowd.
"Everyone's here really early! It's only nine o'clock, right? You're all here."
"It's Mr. Zhong! Hello, and Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year, Mr. Zhong."
Classmates kept greeting her, and Zhong Yuxiu responded with a smile, "Happy New Year to all the classmates too. Did you arrive today or yesterday?"
"I got off the train this morning and came straight to school."
"I arrived yesterday and stayed outside for one night."
"I arrived yesterday, too."
"You're here early too."
The students were enthusiastic, and Zhong Yuxiu responded to them one by one with a smile, creating a lively atmosphere. The person who did the registration was the class leader of the Traditional Chinese Medicine and Physiotherapy section.
"Wait, everyone, stop for a moment."
The voices stopped and the place suddenly became quiet. All eyes were looking at the monitor who was doing the registration.
"Don't look at me like that. Can you guys sign up first and then catch up after that?" the squad leader asked with a smile?
As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. The students thought that they had wasted time, and they no longer felt unhappy about the monitor's interruption; instead, they felt ashamed.
"The monitor is right. Let's sign up first."
"Now that we've registered, let's go to the classroom and talk."
"That won't work. I still need to get settled. I haven't put my luggage away yet."
"I didn't let it go either. I didn't even make the bed. I'm just excited to see my classmates."
"Then why aren't you excited to see me? Why are you so excited to see Zhong?"
"Are you forgetting your principles for the sake of beauty?"
"Ah, bah, I'm too lazy to talk to you."
Zhong Yuxiu smiled helplessly and took out her household registration to the squad leader, "Please register."
"Okay." The squad leader quickly completed the registration and ticked the back of Zhong Yuxiu's roster to prove that this person had come. He then asked Zhong Yuxiu to sign at the back before letting her go to the side.
The students signed in one by one, some went to the dormitory to pack their things, and some went to the classroom with their luggage.
The classroom, which had been deserted for almost a month, was covered in a layer of dust. No one was bothered to sit down and chat. Some took rags, some took brooms, and they started washing and wiping. With strength in numbers, the classroom was completely new in less than half an hour.
"Finally, the cleaning is done. I finally understand why the people who were supposed to be there to resettle things haven't shown up."
"What are you talking about?" A female classmate patted the girl who was talking. "The classroom is so dirty, how can the dormitory be any better? Those who go there first still have to clean it. We only clean the classroom, and they clean the dormitory."
"That's true."
The tables and chairs were clean and everyone gathered together to talk; these people had met before and had talked before, but since Zhong Yuxiu had just arrived, they had endless questions.
"Mr. Zhong, did you have a good New Year? You're from Beijing. Is it lively there? Can we set off firecrackers? I heard from my relatives that firecrackers are not allowed in some places."
