Chu Xia put the notice on the table. Cen Zhengnian and Cen Huaian put their heads next to each other to read the words on the notice.
Cen Huai'an now knew many words. He pointed to the big characters at the top and read them word by word in a childish voice: "Didu College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Student Admission Notice."
Cen Zhengnian ruffled his hair and looked at the notice. He was even happier than he had been before knowing that he could attend the Workers', Peasants and Soldiers University, with a smile on his face.
"What's written on the precautions?" Cen Zhengnian asked Chu Xia.
Chu Xia handed him the paper in her hand: "To register, you need to bring your admission notice, household registration, and transfer certificate of grain and oil relations."
There are not many things to note, just a piece of paper. Most of them are things you need to bring when you register, as well as instructions for travel expenses, consignment fees, scholarships, etc.
After reading it, Cen Zhengnian put the notice and precautions back into the envelope and said, "The notice must be put away and cannot be lost."
He took it to the bedroom and put it in the drawer where he usually kept important documents. He turned around and said to Chu Xia, "It's safer here."
Chu Xia: "Okay."
Cen Huai'an also received letters from his friends in the northwest and Kunzi. Xiaohe knew the most characters, and most of his letters were handwritten.
In the letter, he said that he also wanted to take the college entrance examination.
Hu Climbing is both Chinese and Pinyin. He expressed his envy. He went to ask his parents. Neither of them had gone to college. He also wanted to see what college was like. He also said that he would wait until Cen Huai'an went to college with Chu Xia. , be sure to write it to him!
Kuniko and the others can write a little more, but they still have pictures. The content of the letter has only one meaning: Wait, we will also be admitted to college! Go to the capital to find you!
Cen Huaian wrote to them one by one, saying that his mother had received the admission notice.
After finishing everyone's letters, Cen Huaian shook his hands: they were so tired and sore.
He discovered that having too many friends is a burden. From now on, he should not write so many words in each letter.
*
Summer is rainy, and the weather changes at any time. One second it was a sunny day with the sun shining brightly, and the next second it suddenly became overcast with clouds and heavy rain fell.
Chu Xia was reading a book in the house when she felt the sky suddenly became overcast. She looked up from the window and saw big raindrops falling outside.
"An'an! Come and help me collect my clothes!"
Chu Xia shouted as she ran into the yard. The clothes hanging on the rope were already dry. Due to the sudden rain, there were several wet stains on the clothes.
Cen Huaian ran out immediately when he heard the sound. He stepped on a stool to put on his lower clothes.
The clothes for a family of three were not too much, and it took less than a minute to put them all inside the house. As soon as they entered the house, the rain outside suddenly became louder, and the water seemed to suddenly pour from the sky. It was obviously mid-afternoon, but the sky was so gloomy that it seemed like it was about to fall. It's dark.
Two dogs also ran in from the yard, and their bodies were quite wet from the rain. Cen Huaian wiped them with a dog bath towel.
After passing the dog, Cen Huaian lay on the window and looked out. The rain had completely soaked the land, and small puddles had even formed on it.
"Mom, it's raining so hard!"
"Um."
Chu Xia looked outside with worry on his face. Cen Zhengnian didn't bring an umbrella when he went to the institute. He didn't know if the rain would stop when he came back.
However, summer rain comes and goes quickly, so it shouldn't last long.
Who would have thought that when it was time for dinner, Chu Xia discovered that although the rain had decreased from heavy to light, it still hadn't stopped. Walking from the institute to home, the clothes would still get wet.
Chu Xia looked at Cen Huaian. He was playing throwing balls with the dog in the living room. She took an umbrella and a raincoat, and after thinking about it, she took another umbrella.
There are three people in the family. After arriving in the capital in early summer, they prepared two extra umbrellas in case they were not enough.
"An'an, I'm going to deliver an umbrella to your father. You are at home and don't go out!"
"good."
In early summer, I put on my rubber shoes and went out.
There was a damp earthy atmosphere outside, and it rained. The sultry heat of the past few days had subsided a lot, and people felt a comfortable coolness.
In early summer, I asked the guards to help deliver umbrellas. In the past, when early summer came, I would also give the guards apples.
Every time, I have to trouble people to help. Although this is their duty, Chu Xia still wants to send some food to express her gratitude.
But without exception, they did not accept it. Once Chu Xia just stuffed it into the window and left, they asked Cen Zhengnian to bring it back again.
After Cen Zhengnian returned home, he said to Chu Xia: "They have discipline and don't take a needle or a thread from the masses. Don't give it away, they won't want it."
Chu Xia understood it and never sent it again.
*
When Cen Zhengnian came back from the laboratory, his colleagues in the laboratory told him that his wife had given him an umbrella and left it on his desk.
He walked over, looked at the umbrella, and then looked out the window, only to realize that it was raining outside.
"Zhengnian, your wife is so considerate. Unlike my wife and I, who are already an old couple, she never thought of giving me an umbrella. Every time it rains, I go home drenched."
Colleagues looked at the umbrellas and raincoats on Cen Zhengnian's desk with envy, and even gave them two as a gift for fear of getting wet.
Everyone else was in almost the same situation. Yan He, from the Institute of Residential and Residential Housing, did not need an umbrella. Looking at the umbrella, he sighed with a smile on his face: "It seems that your wife moved here right. You lived a lot in the past." It's rough, not to mention it's raining, it's even hailing and I'll be beaten back to the dormitory."
Cen Zhengnian looked at the umbrella with soft eyes, as if he could see Chu Xia holding the umbrella to the entrance of the institute. He nodded and said, "Yes. Teacher, I will go home for dinner tonight."
Cen Zhengnian looked at Yan Hemin.
"Okay." The results of the experiment came out today. There were no other errors. He was not too busy. There was no need to go to the laboratory at night. Cen Zhengnian could go home for dinner and work at home in the evening.
Some researchers whose family members are in the institute also apply to go home, leaving only single researchers or those whose family members are not in the institute. When they go back at night, they will be alone in the dormitory. It is better to work in the research laboratory, where there are more people.
Among them is Ye Xingxiu.
Seeing Cen Zhengnian put on a raincoat and an umbrella and walked out of the laboratory, Ye Xingxu immediately followed him and put his arm around his shoulders from behind: "Zhengnian, you wear both an umbrella and a raincoat. The rain is so light, it's a bit wasteful." Well, why don't you lend me your umbrella?"
Cen Zhengnian threw his hand away politely: "Just talk, don't move your hands or feet."
"Okay!" Ye Xingxu put his hands in his trouser pockets and continued to ask Cen Zhengnian: "How about you lend me your umbrella?"
"It's not raining heavily." Cen Zhengnian had no intention of lending him his umbrella.
"Yes, it's not raining heavily. What if it rains heavily at night." Ye Xingxu spread his hands and said, "I don't have a wife as good as my sister-in-law. No one gives me an umbrella. You don't have any pity for me, an older bachelor." ?"
Cen Zhengnian glanced at him and said, "There are many people in the laboratory who are like you, so you don't have to feel sorry for yourself."
Ye Xingxiu:......
"Hahaha!" Yan Hemin's laughter came from behind, and he patted Ye Xingxu's shoulder with his generous palm: "Pretending to be pitiful will not work for Zhengnian. Finding a wife as soon as possible is the right way."
Ye Xingsu glanced at Yan Hemin with resentment, and then saw Cen Zhengnian holding an umbrella and was about to leave. He was so jealous that he quickly ran over from behind and snatched Cen Zhengnian's umbrella, with a proud smile on his face as he ran. Said: "Thank you sister-in-law for me! I will return it to you tomorrow!"
Cen Zhengnian: Suddenly my hands felt itchy.
Yan Hemin laughed louder on the sidelines.
Cen Zhengnian looked at the mud on the ground and then at the sky. Chasing Ye Xingxiu to seize the umbrella might cause greater damage. He still had to go home for dinner and let Ye Xingxu be proud of this moment.
When Cen Zhengnian returned home, he told Chu Xia that he lent his umbrella to his colleague.
Chu Xia put the pumpkin and millet porridge she had cooked in front of Cen Zhengnian and said with a smile: "The original intention of getting extra umbrellas is for you to share with your colleagues."
Cen Zhengnian lowered his head to take a sip of porridge and said, "I thought you were afraid that I would get wet."
Chu Xia gave him a pair of chopsticks to stir-fry beans, then gave An An another pair of chopsticks and said, "I'm also afraid that you'll get wet."
The corners of Cen Zhengnian's mouth raised slightly.
In the evening, Cen Zhengnian still wanted to stay up late to do work. When it was almost ten o'clock, Chu Xia asked him: "Are these tasks urgent?"
Cen Zhengnian lowered his head and calculated a number and said: "It's not very urgent."
Chu Xia: "Then go to bed and rest. You already have a bad stomach, do you want it to get worse?"
Cen Zhengnian lowered his head and continued counting and said, "I will go to bed after writing this one."
Chu Xia didn't touch what he wrote easily. She stretched out her hand from the side and covered his eyes: "After you finish writing one thing, there is the next one. It was like this last time. It was almost eleven o'clock before going to bed."
Cen Zhengnian felt the softness of the palm above his eyes. He took her hand but did not let go. While holding it, he calculated and said, "I will do what I say this time."
Chu Xia's hand was held by him, and she felt the hot temperature coming from her hand, and she wanted to take her hand out.
Cen Zhengnian's gentle voice sounded: "Wait, I'm done."
Chu Xia stopped moving and pulled a stool over to sit next to him. She took out the half-read book from the table and continued reading.
But before she read two pages, her book was closed: "Dr. Luo, it's not good to stay up late."
Chu Xia glared at him: "I'm not planning to stay up late." It was obvious that he often stayed up late.
"Then go to sleep."
Cen Zhengnian's voice was a little hoarse, as if he was suppressing something. Chu Xia had been with him for so long, and she suddenly heard the hidden meaning in his words.
"Didn't you say something is gone?"
Cen Zhengnian turned off the light. Because of the rain, today's moon was blocked by dark clouds, and it was extremely dark outside.
"I bought a lot from my eldest cousin again."
Chu Xia's face suddenly turned red: "You actually asked your eldest cousin to buy this?!"
Cen Zhengnian understood what Chu Xia meant. His kiss fell on her eyes and comforted her: "Don't worry, cousin doesn't mind this."
Chu Xia: But I mind!
But soon she no longer had the energy to think about it anymore.
*
Cen Zhengnian came to the research room early in the morning. His high energy was in sharp contrast to Ye Xingxiu's depressed look.
"Return your umbrella." Ye Xingxu looked at the umbrella and couldn't help but think of the embarrassing thing he did yesterday. The more he looked at it, the more he wanted to destroy the body and eliminate the traces.
"The umbrella is dirty." Cen Zhengnian looked at the dirt on the umbrella and frowned: "It wasn't like this when you took it away."
"Hahaha." A colleague laughed next to him: "That's because he fell while running with an umbrella."
Cen Zhengnian had no sympathy for Ye Xingxiu at all. The umbrella he gave him in early summer was not that easy to hold.
"It's okay if you get dirty, but the umbrella can't be dirty."
Ye Xingxu looked in disbelief: "Cen Zhengnian! Are you a human? I don't have an umbrella."
Cen Zhengnian nodded: "This is an umbrella given by my wife."
Looking at Ye Xingxu's appearance, he was afraid that he would destroy his umbrella again, so he took it to the water room to wash it, then wiped it dry with a cloth and put it away.
Ye Xingxu looked at Cen Zhengnian's behavior and realized that he was indeed not as important as an umbrella.
When he fell down last night, only the teacher smiled and said a few words of concern for him. All his colleagues laughed. He also changed and washed his own clothes: it was sad.
*
In early summer, I brought An An to Grandpa Chiang's house and found that Jiang Zhiyi was also at Grandpa Chiang's house.
Chu Xia told Grandpa Jiang that she had received the notice and was waiting to report for duty at the end of August.
Grandpa Jiang drank tea and said, "It won't be many days, have you got everything ready?"
"That's almost it." Mainly bedding, clothes and daily necessities. Bedding and clothes are all available at home, and daily necessities are also easy to buy.
Jiang Zhiyi was half lying on the sofa, holding a peach in her hand and chewing on it. She looked at Chu Xia with curiosity in her eyes: "Cousin, which university did you apply for?"
Uncle Jiang's family has never asked about the results of early summer, mainly because they were only worried about Jiang Zhiyi's affairs and had no time to care about others.
"Didu College of Traditional Chinese Medicine."
Jiang Zhiyi sat upright: "I heard that the scores in this school are very high. Cousin-in-law, you are so awesome!"
The tone was a little envious, but also very sincere.
Chu Xia sat aside, grabbed An An's hand that wanted to eat watermelon again, smiled at her, and said nothing.
On the other hand, Cen Huai'an nodded "Yes" from the side: "My mother is the best! My mother passed the exam..."
Before he finished speaking, Chu Xia picked up a peach and stuffed it into his mouth: "You can't eat too much watermelon, just eat peaches."
Jiang Zhiyi was half-obedient and was very worried. She couldn't help but ask: "Cousin, what score did you get in the exam?"
"586, provincial science champion." Before Chu Xia could speak, Grandpa Jiang said beside him, and then saw Jiang Zhiyi, who looked dumbfounded and obviously shocked. Grandpa Jiang continued: "Your cousin is really amazing, learn more from her in the future. study."
Jiang Zhiyi put away her surprised mouth and looked at Chu Xia with eyes shining: "Cousin, how did you achieve such high scores in the exam? Oh my god, there is a provincial science champion sitting next to me. I never knew that !"
She stood up and held Chu Xia's hand: "I used to think you were great, cousin, but I didn't expect you to be so great. I should hold your hand before the college entrance examination to try to improve my luck."
Chu Xia burst out laughing, amused by Jiang Zhiyi's cute appearance: "If I really have that thing, I will definitely give it to you."
Cen Huaian ate the peach silently and held Chu Xia's other hand: He also wanted to benefit from his mother's exam luck, although he didn't know what the exam luck was.
Several people were talking and the atmosphere was very cheerful. At this time, Uncle Jiang and Aunt Zhou Huaying came.
"Dad, let's take Zhiyi back today."
"I won't go back!" Jiang Zhiyi hid behind Grandpa Jiang: "After I go back, you will force me to repeat my studies. Although I went to an average school, I still have a bachelor's degree. I won't repeat my studies!"
Uncle Jiang persuaded her earnestly: "Zhiyi, listen to your parents. You have the ability to get into a better university. Your parents will not harm you."
Zhou Huaying said coldly from the side: "If you don't read again, don't recognize me as your mother in the future."
When Chu Xia saw Jiang Zhiyi's eye circles turned red, she lowered her head and hid behind Grandpa Jiang, pursed her lips tightly.
Her opinion of First Uncle Jiang and First Aunt Jiang was even worse.
Grandpa Jiang tapped his cane hard: "What do you want to do? It's not like my child didn't get into college. She won't repeat it if she doesn't want to. It's not like she won't be able to continue her studies in the future. If you force your child like this, she will definitely be better than she is this year. Did you do well in the exam? Lao Yi, when you did anything, including marrying Hua Ying, did I interfere with you? "
Uncle Jiang blushed and lowered his head when Grandpa Jiang said it, but he still persisted: "Dad, it was different back then."
Grandpa Jiang snorted: "If you don't read again, you won't recognize your daughter. Then can I also say, if you don't listen to me, don't call me dad in the future?"
Chu Xia silently gave Grandpa Jiang a thumbs up in her heart: Grandpa is mighty!
"Dad!" Uncle Jiang shouted in panic.
"Dad." Zhou Huaying frowned and called, looking a little embarrassed.
Grandpa Jiang: "Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. I don't have to interfere with your management of your children, but you must also respect your children's opinions and listen to her thoughts."
Uncle Jiang: "What does a child know?"
Grandpa Jiang: "She is 18 and knows everything she needs to know. When your mother and I got married, she was only 18."
Uncle Jiang and Zhou Huaying's faces became even stiffer. They also knew that with Grandpa Jiang here, they could not force Jiang Zhiyi to go home and listen to them today.
Grandpa Jiang vacated the study room, and he sat aside and asked them to talk as a family. They could not talk to each other.
Chu Xia was not suitable to participate in this matter. She and An An were drinking tea and eating snacks in the living room. Cen Huaian wanted to eat popsicles secretly, but Chu Xia grabbed her collar and pulled her out of the kitchen.
"You've already eaten one today, don't eat any more!"
Cen Huaian licked his lips and still felt so hot after finishing a popsicle.
Jiang Zhiyi's excited voice could be heard from time to time in the study, as well as Zhou Huaying's condescending and angry voice.
Cen Huaian sat next to Chu Xia and ate grapes and said, "Mom, if I fail the college entrance examination like my little aunt, will you let me repeat my studies?"
"I think the same as your great-grandfather, and I respect your opinion." After Chu Xia finished speaking, he said in a twist: "But I think An An will not fail in the exam if he is so good!"
The corners of Cen Huaian's mouth turned up: "Yeah."
He also felt that his father and cousin had both said that Jinghua and Jingyan were the best universities, so in the future should he go to Jinghua or Jingyan?
He didn't make a decision, so he turned to ask Chu Xia. Chu Xia paused as she stuffed grapes into her mouth, patted his head and said, "I think what you should be thinking about now is how to maintain first place every time."
Cen Huai'an nodded seriously: "I study hard and I will definitely get first place in every exam in the future!"
Cheer him up in early summer.
With the support of Grandpa Jiang, Jiang Zhiyi reluctantly reached an agreement with her parents. She did not need to repeat her studies, but she had to be admitted to a good university as a graduate student. Moreover, Zhou Huaying stipulated that the worst university she could get into should not be lower than one.
Early summer: Before I went to college, the pressure started to hit me.
None of the universities listed by Zhou Huaying are easy to get into, with Jinghua and Jingyan ranking first.
Jiang Zhiyi did not follow Uncle Jiang and the others home. As soon as her parents left, she collapsed on the sofa: "Sometimes I really don't know if my parents forcing me to study are really for my own good or for their sake." ."
Grandpa Jiang patted her head: "Although your parents' methods are a bit wrong, there is nothing wrong with letting you learn."
When returning home, Chu Xia and Cen Zhengnian talked about what happened to grandpa today. Cen Zhengnian said without any surprise: "This is something they would do."
Obviously he understands Uncle Jiang and Zhou Huaying better than Chu Xia.
He put a bowl of pork rib soup in front of Chu Xia and said, "My uncle works at the Ministry of Culture and Culture, and my aunt teaches at a university. The colleagues and friends they come in contact with all attach great importance to their children's academic performance, and there will be some comparisons."
Therefore, Jiang Zhiyi made a mistake in estimating her grades, and the school she applied for was lower than the one she could have attended. It was normal for Jiang Yijiu and Zhou Huaying to be unwilling to accept it.
Chu Xia nodded and said: "That's the problem. My cousin doesn't want to repeat the exam. The pressure to repeat the exam is really great. What if next year's exam is not as good as this year and even worse, should I continue to repeat the exam or not?"
Cen Zhengnian nodded: "With grandpa here, there won't be a tense situation."
He raised his head and looked at Chu Xia with a smile: "My family and I will not force you to do anything. You can go to college, take the postgraduate entrance examination or not, just follow your own ideas."
Cen Huaian also raised his hand beside him: "I won't force mom either."
Chu Xia couldn't help laughing and rubbed his head.
*
Near the end of August, Chu Xia met Jiang Zhida, a high-spirited man, at Grandpa Jiang's house. It was clear from a glance that his business results were good this time.
He ran into Grandpa Jiang's house in a hurry, drank the cold warm water on the table in one breath, and the smile never fell from the corner of his mouth: "Cousin, do you know how much I earn?"
"This number! This number! It's more than double my original amount."
Before Chu Xia could speak, he kept saying excitedly: "Cousin, you are so right to ask me to ask my brother, and the plan you taught me to write is so useful. This time I will just press As you said, inspect first, and don't rush to pick up the goods when you get to Yangcheng.
We observed it for a long time and used my brother's contacts in Yangcheng to purchase the goods smoothly. After arriving in Beijing, we found a place with a lot of traffic. The sales were very fast, and demand simply exceeded supply. I also received several reservations, waiting for me After resting with Xiaoran for two days, we will go to Yangcheng again. "
Jiang Zhida came to Grandpa Jiang's house mainly to talk to Chu Xia about the business. He knew that he was not very discerning, so he brought a radio and a digital watch.
This time, with the help of his brother, the factory he found was very reliable and he was not fooled again. He was ready to develop well in the future. These things are cheap and easy to get in Yangcheng, and they are very popular in the capital.
In addition to selling tape recorders, he also brought along some tapes of popular songs. This one was even more popular, and some people asked him to find tapes of singers.
And this thing doesn't take up as much space as a tape recorder, so you can put more in, so you don't have to worry about not being able to sell it.
In addition to this, Jiang Zhida also came to pay back Chu Xia's money.
Chu Xia asked him: "With the money back, will you still have enough money to buy goods?"
Jiang Zhida scratched his head: To be honest, he wanted to make more money this time, but he still had some money.
Chu Xia saw what he was thinking and laughed and said, "Okay, you can use it first. Zhengnian and I are not short of money right now. When you are not short, you can pay it back to me."
Jiang Zhida held the money in his hand and felt a little hot in his eyes. He didn't know what to say to thank Chu Xia and Cen Zhengnian now.
"Cousin sister-in-law, you tell your first cousin that I will remember your love for the rest of my life."
Chu Xia: "What you said is too serious. You helped me, Zheng Nian and An An a lot in the past. You were the one who ran An An's school and found the martial arts teacher."
Jiang Zhida scratched his head in embarrassment: "Well, my uncle, the martial arts teacher, introduced me to him."
Jiang Zhida came out of Grandpa Jiang's house and immediately ran to Qian Ran's house.
Qian Ran made money because he did good work, and his parents no longer hate him so much. He is treated very well at home these days.
"Xiaoran."
"Dazi, have you bought the tickets?"
Jiang Zhida shook his head: "No. My cousin-in-law didn't take the money back and asked me to continue to use it."
Qian Ran showed embarrassment on his face: "I gave some of the money I earned to my parents. Mainly because after I failed to pass the college entrance examination, I have been squatting at home and have never been filial to my parents. I gave them money and they were very happy." "
Jiang Zhida understood Qian Ran's approach. If the funds were not enough, he would have given money to his parents.
He patted Qian Ran on the shoulder and asked carefully: "How much did you give?"
"One hundred." Qian Ran held out a finger. He didn't dare to give too much, for fear that his parents would mistakenly think that he had done something illegal or criminal.
Jiang Zhida patted his chest and said, "Fortunately, it's not a lot. I'm not here to tell you this. My cousin and sister-in-law are so good to me. I think they will use this money as a shareholding, and they can make a lot of money later. They pay dividends, what do you think?"
Qian Ran himself worked with Jiang Zhida. Without Jiang Zhida's help and the money he borrowed, their business would not be able to develop at all.
He nodded immediately: "Okay."
However, Jiang Zhida didn't understand the details of how to divide the dividends. He decided to ask his elder brother and asked him whether he should buy a book and study.
After listening to his question, Jiang Zhishu explained it to him and threw him a book on basic theories of business and "Sun Tzu's Art of War": "Read them carefully and read them thoroughly."
Jiang Zhida took the book and left. He sat on the train and read it eagerly. He didn't understand many of the terms, so he circled them and prepared to ask his brother back.
But to be honest, these books gave him a lot of inspiration. People really have to think, and doing business can't just rely on momentum, but also on wisdom.
Qian Ran liked the book "The Art of War" very much, and so did Jiang Zhida. When he was reading it, he discovered that some Hong Kong businessmen had used many of the strategies in it to open their doors in Guangzhou and the Special Economic Zone.
*
At the end of August, Chu Xia went to the Imperial College of Traditional Chinese Medicine to report, and Cen Zhengnian specially asked for a day off to see her off.
There were so many beddings and bedding, and Cen Zhengnian was worried about being alone in Chu Xia. There was no one to help with so many things, and Chu Xia was so weak, how could he move to the dormitory.
Chu Xia didn't really want to live in the dormitory. If she lived in the dormitory, she wouldn't be able to see An An every day, and there would be no one to supervise Cen Zhengnian to eat on time.
Although Cen Zhengnian's stomach has improved now, it is not completely healed and still needs to be nursed back to health.
When preparing to register in early summer, ask the teacher about day school.
Her school is not too far from the southern suburbs. It only takes about ten minutes a day by bus, and it doesn't take too long to get there by bicycle.
There were seniors welcoming the new students at the gate when they checked in. They saw Chu Xia's family coming and welcomed them very warmly.
Because this family was all good-looking, a senior was the first one to come forward and said he would take them to register.
"Don't the schoolgirl's parents come to see her off?"
"No." Chu Xia looked at Cen Zhengnian with a dangerous look in her eyes, and the smile that had been on her face disappeared. She held An An with one hand and held Cen Zhengnian with her other free hand. 's hand said, "It is the same that my husband and my son sent me."
The sunny-looking senior looked at Chu Xia in shock, stumbling a bit as he spoke: "Xue...Senior sister, are you married? Are your children so old?"
"Yes." Chu Xia nodded, saw the registration table for the Chinese medicine major, turned around to thank the shocked senior, and pulled Cen Zhengnian and Cen Huai'an to register at the table for this major.
Submit the admission notice and fill in your information.
Overall, registration was very simple. Chu Xia received the key to her dormitory and the location of the dormitory.
The buildings now have a sense of age, including the dormitories.
The dormitory in early summer is on the first floor of the girls' dormitory. The location is not bad, but the space door in the dormitory is not very big. There are bunk beds and eight students can live in one room.
In later generations, some schools had independent bathroom doors, and independent bathrooms are now out of the question. It is simply impossible.
There is a public restroom door and a public washroom on each floor, and hot water must be obtained elsewhere.
Looking at the dormitory in Chu Xia, she felt like she was back in high school. The school in her high school had better conditions than the current school.
Now that she has come to college, she has to accept this. She had expected her dormitory before early summer, and it was better than she expected. The bed was quite firm.
The beds have been divided, and Chu Xia is on the upper bunk by the window.
Today is the first day of registration. She came early. Except for one bed with something on it, no one else in the dormitory has arrived yet.
Cen Zhengnian helped her carry the bedding up here. When she reported in today, the dormitory manager was very relaxed and even men could come up after registering.
"Mom, is this a university? The beds are not as good as those at home."
"But they all have their own history. Maybe my bed has slept with a very good doctor before, and she saved many, many people."
Cen Huaian immediately felt that the bed was very good. He walked over and wanted to reach out and touch the railing of the upper bed, but he couldn't reach it.
He turned around and looked at his father for help. Unfortunately, Cen Zhengnian was cleaning the house and didn't see his look for help.
"An'an, help me wash the rag."
The basin was on the floor, and it was inconvenient to wash it in Chu Xia's bed. An An was her little helper.
Cen Huaian quickly took the rag to wash it, remembering that when his parents were done with their work, he would definitely touch his mother's historic bed.
In early summer, I packed the bed and started making it. Originally, Cen Zhengnian was going to help with the paving, but Chu Xia thought it would be troublesome to switch. She was on the upper bunk, so they could just pave it together. It wasn't a tiring job.
After making the bed, Chu Xia got off the bed. Cen Zhengnian looked at the height and kept protecting her from below, fearing that she would lose her footing and fall.
On the last few steps, he directly supported Chu Xia down.
Chu Xia was about to say that he was making a fuss about getting into the upper bunk. It was not like she had never stayed in the upper bunk before.
As a result, she turned around and saw the girl looking at her and Cen Zhengnian in surprise at the door.
The girl was carrying a large luggage. It was not packed in a sack or anything, but was bundled into the shape of a backpack. Because she was a little thin, it felt like the luggage was about to weigh her down.
Chu Xia smiled politely at her: "Hello."
The girl was a little confused by her smile, nodded quickly to her, lowered her head and came in to pack her things.
Chu Xia didn't say any more. After packing her things, she turned to Cen Zhengnian and Cen Huai'an and said, "Let's go out."
It is not convenient for other girls to have a man in the dormitory all the time.
Chu Xia held Cen Huaian's hand and was about to walk out. Cen Huaian quickly grabbed her and said, "Mom, I want to touch your bed."
As soon as Cen Huaian finished speaking, Chu Xia noticed the girl who was cleaning the bed, and instantly turned to look at her with shocked eyes.
Chu Xia looked over, and she quickly lowered her head to wipe the bed, looking like she was afraid to talk to her. Chu Xia wanted to touch her face to see if she was scary.
But after all, he was an unfamiliar roommate he had just met. Chu Xia did not take her attitude to heart, but asked Cen Zhengnian to hold Cen Huaian and touch the railing of her bed: "Is it enough? If not, mom can give you five minutes. The door, let you touch it as much as you want."
Cen Huaian nodded: "That's enough, Mom, let's go out to visit the university."
At this time, the campus has not only the new students who entered today, but also many old students in the school. Some are studying and some are helping to pick up new students. The entire campus is full of vitality.
It's just going to be a little hot. Even though it's almost September, Qiuhu is no joke.
Chu Xia held An An and held an umbrella, which attracted many people's attention. But since everyone doesn't know her, it doesn't matter. Sun exposure is even scarier.
The Imperial College of Traditional Chinese Medicine fits its name very well. Some of the statues in the school are of famous Chinese medicine practitioners in history such as Hua Tuo, Zhang Zhongjing and Li Shizhen.
Moreover, various prescriptions, medicinal materials, and some medical practice rules passed down from ancient times can be seen on some walls.
In early summer, I even saw a locked garden with various medicinal materials growing in it.
Walking on campus in early summer, she slowly relaxed unconsciously. She liked the feeling that this school gave her, just like she was at her grandfather's house.
There are also various medicinal prescriptions on the walls of my grandfather's house, and you can smell the smell of traditional Chinese medicine when you go in. Grandpa always carries that smell with him.
Chu Xia stood in front of the statue of Hua Tuo. Through the statue, she seemed to see her grandfather. A smile appeared on her lips: Grandpa, did you see it? I went to the university you always wanted me to go to and studied Chinese medicine.
A leaf happened to fall on the collar of Hua Tuo's statue, and the leaf swayed in the wind. It seemed that grandpa really heard Chu Xia's words and responded to her. The smile on Chu Xia's face became even bigger.
Cen Zhengnian felt that there was something different in early summer now, as if he was missing someone. But he didn't come forward to disturb her, and even held An An to prevent him from passing by: "We are waiting for mom here."
Chu Xia watched the leaves swirling and falling to the ground. She picked them up and put them on Hua Tuo's collar again. She turned to look at Cen Zhengnian and Cen Huai'an and said, "Let's go to the cafeteria to eat."
Because the food and oil relationship in early summer had not been transferred to the canteen, she spent food stamps and money to buy meals.
The food at Imperial College of Traditional Chinese Medicine tastes pretty good. If you want to eat well, you can spend more. If you don't want to eat well, there are cheap meals.
Although tuition, room and board are free at university, it can only guarantee your basic university life. If you want to live a better life, you can't live without money.
You want to change your clothes, buy a book, some school supplies, and daily necessities, none of which require money.
After dinner, Chu Xia and Cen Zhengnian took Cen Huaian to the library again. The library was very quiet, full of people studying, and there were people sitting on the floor.
There are many books on traditional Chinese medicine on the bookshelf. Chu Xia didn't want to read them. She just wanted to sit in the library and study like those college students.
However, she turned around and saw Cen Zhengnian and Cen Huai'an behind her. She suppressed her desire and walked with them in the library.
We didn't go very far. There were so many people studying in the library that it felt like a sin to hang out in there without studying.
Cen Huai'an's eyes were bright, and he even let Cen Zhengnian hold him and read books, even though he couldn't understand those books now.
After leaving the library, Cen Huaian and Chu Xia said, "Mom, I like this place the most. Does every university have a library?"
"Not necessarily, but many schools with a long history will."
Chu Xia listed a few for An An, and some of the university libraries are particularly famous.
Such as Jinghua and Jingyan.
Cen Huaian clenched his fists and thought to himself: He must be admitted to these two schools in the future, but which one should he choose? Forget it, think about it later.
Chu Xia found the teacher in charge of their major in the afternoon and explained her idea of going to day school.
"Day study? The learning atmosphere at school will be better, and time will be wasted on the way."
"Chu Xia, otherwise you can live on campus and I can take good care of me and An An." Cen Zhengnian said beside him, he was afraid of delaying Chu Xia's study time.
"It's okay, I can study at home."
Chu Xia told her teacher about her special situation. She was married and was different from others. Besides, Cen Huai'an is so young now, it is impossible for her to stay at school for a week without worry.
"Okay, I'll get you a day pass. Do you still want the bed in your school?"
"Yes." What if she starts class late and can't get home? She will have to live in the dormitory, and she can still take a lunch break if she has a bed.
"Okay." The teacher didn't embarrass Chu Xia. He understood the students' special circumstances. There were also students whose families were in difficulty and couldn't even afford food. The school would consider these situations and provide subsidies.
In the past, there were more than one person in the school who got married and went to school later, and there were also people who brought their newborn children to live in the dormitory.
"By the way, there is a class meeting the day after tomorrow. Every student is required to attend. You can't be absent."
"I understand, teacher."
Chu Xia had a day pass. With this pass, she was on the right track if she didn't live in the dormitory.
There will be no classes for these two days. It is time for students to register. Chu Xia is not ready to stay in school now and go home with Cen Zhengnian and the others.
On the way, Cen Zhengnian was still frowning, feeling that it was too hard to take the bus to class in early summer: "You may have more classes in the future."
Chu Xia reached out and rubbed his forehead: "Don't worry, it's too late to go home, I will stay in the school dormitory."
