Chapter 2 Arriving at School

In this era, people who have never traveled far cannot imagine the hardships of the journey. Ye Zishu spent two days and one night just taking the ferry.

First, he walked toward the mouth of the lake at Poyang Lake, entered the Yangtze River, and then drove north along the Yangtze River to Wuhan. During this process, he was basically on deck the whole time.

If it weren't for the end of August and the weather was relatively hot, it would be unbearable for ordinary people, let alone when he was alone.

Although there are not many valuable things on him, there are only two thin quilts, one is used for covering and the other is used for cushioning, but there are also low-valued but extremely important things inside.

That is the university admission letter. Now is not the future. If the admission letter is lost, many things will be very difficult. There is no room for loss.

In addition to the 100 yuan he brought from home in his pocket, if he lost it, he would stop eating completely. In order to avoid accidents, he didn't dare to sleep too much during the whole process, so he could only take a moment to squat.

As long as there are two people, they can take care of each other. This is also the main way for rural laborers to go out now. Few people go out alone, which is very unsafe.

When I arrived in Wuhan, I couldn't buy a ticket right away. I had to wait for a long time before finally buying a ticket. But the green leather car at this time was not very good.

Not only the smell inside the car is very bad, but also there is no air conditioner, even if the car windows are opened to let in the wind, it still cannot stop the sweating.

These are not the most uncomfortable things, the most uncomfortable thing is that he still needs to beware of thieves, try not to move around if he can, and he has to endure a long time to go to the toilet after urinating.

The moment he got off the car, he greedily breathed in the fresh air outside, as if his whole body was refreshed, and his exhausted body gained a bit of respite.

After getting off the bus at Beijing West Railway Station, I finally got in touch with the pick-up team from the school and got on the bus to the school, feeling completely relaxed.

"Student, wake up, we're at school!"

In his sleep, Ye Zishu felt someone move his body, which brought him back to his senses immediately, stood up immediately, and assumed a defensive posture.

But when he saw the situation in front of him, everyone in the car looked at him with wide eyes, some of them understood, and some of them were watching the show, which made him suddenly embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, I didn't sleep well all the way here, I'm too nervous!"

He immediately apologized to the woman in her twenties who woke him up and didn't know if it was a senior or a teacher. Fortunately, the other party didn't care about it, which made him heave a long sigh of relief.

"It's okay, pack up your things and get out of the car, the car has to go back to pick up other students."

After quickly packing up the things I carried with me, I got out of the car and took out the other less important luggage from the luggage compartment of the car. The difficult journey was finally over.

In this era, it is not uncommon to use chemical fertilizer feed bags to pack luggage like him, and occasionally there are classmates who use soft cloth to pack luggage.

As for those who use the trolley case like the later generations, there are almost no ones, so he is not afraid that others will look at him differently, and those who can be admitted to this university will not care about these external conditions.

Looking at the four big characters written on the gate of the school that he could not reach in his previous life, he didn't feel any excitement, because in his opinion, this was a sure thing.

"Student, can you help me get something?"

Hearing someone calling him from behind, he looked back and found that it was a ponytail with a handsome face. From the perspective of her dress, she was a proper city girl.

He pointed at himself to confirm whether he was calling himself, because in his opinion, he had already carried so much luggage, and no one should ask him for help.

Seeing that the other party nodded without any embarrassment, Ye Zishu walked over a few steps and glanced at the things around her, all of which were daily necessities.

"Do you think there is still room to help?"

He pointed to the luggage on his shoulder, the meaning was obvious, even he was helpless.

"You don't need to exert much effort, you just need to hold hands."

The other party has an enamel washbasin, which contains some toiletries, and a large cloth bag, which is bulging, which should be a quilt.

The weight is not heavy, but it is more difficult for one person to hold it. Hearing what she said, Ye Zishu could only nod his head.

"Fine!"

Hearing that he agreed, the girl was very happy. She held the enamel washbasin in her arms by herself, twisted one corner of the big cloth bag with the other hand, and handed the other corner to Ye Zishu.

Just like that, the two of them came to the freshmen reception desk with big bags and small bags. There were some shadows of future generations here, which made him seem to return to the way he was a freshman before entering school.

After completing the registration, he got the assigned dorm key, and then he separated from the girl directly. The senior at the reception desk helped her with her luggage, saving him trouble.

Although it may be a well-known institution of higher learning in the country, the dormitory conditions are really not that good, much worse than the dormitory he lived in in his previous life.

There are a total of four bunk beds in the dormitory, and there are eight people in a dormitory. The sanitation seems to have been cleaned, but there is no dust, but the furnishings inside are relatively old.

It was a bit stuffy inside, so he put his things down, opened the window, started to take out his luggage, and chose the lower bunk next to the door as his bed.

After the beds were made, other roommates came to the dormitory one after another. Each roommate has a different major, and they obviously live together.

After all the people arrive, it is inevitable to introduce each other. Most of them are around 18 years old and able to come to Tsinghua University, and few repeat grades.

He has not seen the phenomenon of ranking according to age, even if he went to college in his previous life, he has never encountered it, because it is completely unnecessary.

After exchanging pleasantries with all his roommates, he left the dormitory, asked someone for the address of the post office, and then came to the post office to report his family's safety.

There is actually a phone here, but there is no phone at home, so I can only report the safety of the family through telegrams, so as to avoid the worries of parents and younger siblings.

It's just that after asking, one word cost 20 cents, so he wanted to send a few more words, so he had to condense it into four words: "Arrive safely".

After shooting the telegram, I walked around the campus and went to Jinchun Garden to experience Zhu Ziqing's "Moonlight in the Lotus Pond". Unfortunately, it is daytime and I don't feel much about it.

I also went to "Shuimu Tsinghua", which is known as the garden of Tsinghua Gardens, to have a look, but because it was already early September, there was no weeping willow tender yellow, and it still lacked a little taste.

During this process, I also took a look at the functional buildings on campus, not because I admired these buildings, but because I knew the way.

It took him more than two hours to take a quick look at the flowers. Looking at the sky, the sun has already set to the west.

My stomach was already protesting and I had to go back to the dormitory to see if I could get something to eat.
