More than twenty long wooden tables were neatly arranged, their surfaces polished to a shine, and someone had carved the words "Tsinghua students should strive for self-improvement" with a knife.
Long queues formed at the food windows, with shouts of "Master, two ounces of rice!" and "A serving of cabbage!" echoing through the crowd.
Finally, it was Lin Laosan's turn. He handed over the meal ticket with the word "one jin" printed on it and two aluminum lunch boxes into the window.
"Master, I'd like two servings each of braised ribbonfish and stewed cabbage with tofu."
"Can you finish eating so much? Young man, you'd better use your food coupons sparingly, or you'll use them all up at once."
"Master, it's my turn to report for duty today. My mom came with me, so I need to make two copies."
"Oh! I see." The chubby chef, who was in charge of cooking, finally smiled with relief after hearing that he had prepared a meal for his mother.
He picked up the shovel, flicked his wrist, and the snow-white rice piled up into a small mountain in the lunchbox. He then placed two dishes on top of the rice, and the aroma of the dishes and rice immediately wafted over, making Lin Laosan quickly swallow a mouthful of saliva!
It smells wonderful!
"Quickly take this to Mom and let her try our cooking!" The chubby chef, seeing Lin Laosan's greedy look, smiled broadly.
"Eh~~~" He raised his voice at the end and walked towards Lin Li's position with a lunchbox in each hand.
As soon as Lin Li sat down in an empty seat in the cafeteria, she noticed many boys pointing and whispering about her.
As she curiously looked around, a boy wearing glasses sat down in front of her. "Senior, may I ask which department you're in?"
Lin Li was even happier when she heard him call her "senior sister"!
"She's my mother!" Before Lin Li could even speak, Lin Laosan's angry voice came from behind the boy.
Upon hearing the sound, the boy turned around and saw Lin Laosan's angry expression. He then looked back at Lin Li with disbelief.
"Are you his mother?"
Lin Li nodded with a smile, "Absolutely genuine!"
"I'm sorry!" The boy's face, which had been flushed with embarrassment, immediately lost all color. He picked up the lunchbox from the table and left with a pale face.
"Nonsense." Lin Laosan angrily slammed the two lunchboxes he was holding onto the table, his eyes still fixed on the boy's back.
Don't be angry!
Lin Li said with a smile, she wasn't angry at all, but rather happy.
"I knew it! Auntie looks young. When I first saw her, I was also wondering why some students would bring their girlfriends to school!"
Chen Yongming and his two companions, carrying packed lunchboxes, sat down around the mother and son.
Hearing his roommate's words, Lin Laosan turned his head and looked carefully at Lin Li's face.
You mustn't tell, you really mustn't tell!
If Lin Li weren't his biological mother, he would have thought she was only in her twenties.
Her delicate, flawless skin and tall, slender figure made her even more beautiful than many girls in their twenties!
...
Seeing the way Lin Laosan was looking at her, Lin Li chuckled and patted his shoulder.
"What? You don't even recognize your own mother?"
"Hehehe! No, it's just that I've only just realized, Mom, you really do look a lot younger!"
Lin Laosan smiled awkwardly and pushed the lunchbox on the table in front of Lin Li.
"No matter how young I look, I'm still your real mother!"
...
"Of course!"
Lin Laosan smiled at Lin Li; she was his own mother!
The group finished their lunch while chatting and laughing, and then prepared to visit Tsinghua University.
The Tsinghua University campus in 1984 was a blend of antiquity and vitality.
The main road on campus is lined with tall poplar trees, their trunks straight and their branches and leaves lush.
There are also some low shrubs scattered on both sides, which have been carefully trimmed by the gardeners and have taken on a neat shape.
In the teaching area, red brick and gray tile buildings are arranged in a staggered manner, and the walls in the Suzhou style are covered with vines, which have blended into the buildings under the influence of time.
A winding, clear stream flows between the teaching area and the living area, its waters gurgling and reflecting the weeping willows on the banks and the buildings in the distance.
Continue up the path until you reach the square in front of the library.
A sculpture stands in the center of the square, its lines simple yet powerful, its meaning profound, attracting the attention of several people.
As they stood in front of the library, hesitating whether to go in, they heard cries for help coming from not far away.
"Help! Is anyone there? Please come and help!"
Upon hearing the sound, the group immediately headed in the direction from which it came.
Upon arriving at the location, I saw a young woman sitting on the ground, holding a three-year-old child.
The woman's face was covered in tears, her eyes were panicked, and she sat limply on the ground.
She was holding a three-year-old child in her arms. The child's face was bluish-purple, and the child's little hands were helplessly touching the throat. The child's little mouth kept pouting, as if trying to cough but unable to.
"Is something stuck in your throat?"
Looking at the child, Zhou Jianguo immediately thought of a time back in his hometown when a child choked on a foreign object and died within minutes.
His expression changed, and he quickly walked to the woman. "Get her to the hospital immediately! A child in my hometown got stuck in a foreign object and died shortly after!"
Upon hearing Zhou Jianguo's words, the woman's face turned even paler. "Take her to the hospital! Take her to the hospital!"
She struggled to her feet, but couldn't climb out.
Just as Zhou Jianguo was about to run towards the school clinic with the child in his arms, Lin Li called out to him.
"Let me do it!" She took three steps at a time and quickly reached the child's side.
A quick glance at the child's flushed face confirmed that there was indeed a foreign object obstructing the airway.
She decisively knelt down on one knee, letting the child lie face down on her forearm with the head slightly lower than the torso, and steadily supported the child's chin with her left hand to prevent cervical spine injury.
"Don't be afraid, Auntie is here." She gently comforted the child, and then quickly and forcefully tapped between the child's shoulder blades with the heel of her right hand five times in a row.
The child began coughing violently, but did not vomit the foreign object.
What happened?
"It seems like the child has swallowed something and is choking!"
"Oh my god, that's dangerous!"
"Isn't that... is this to save them?"
"Yes!"
"I hope it works!!!"
Everyone stared intently at them, their hands clenched tightly, their eyes filled with concern.
Lin Li's face gradually showed anxiety. The child's mother collapsed to the ground, helplessly watching Lin Li try to save her.
The light in her eyes gradually dimmed, and she kept muttering, "It'll be alright, it'll definitely be alright, my child will be alright, he'll get better!"
Lin Li took a deep breath and used the Heimlich maneuver again, and the child finally spat out the foreign object in his mouth!
'Phew!' Everyone breathed a sigh of relief!
