The new pavilion has a beautiful person

  Hello everyone, I'm back again!

  Lin Zhenhua stood at the south gate of Huaying University, feeling a mix of emotions.

  The south gate of Huaqing University seems to have never changed. The appearance 30 years ago and in 2011 seem to be no different. If one must find some differences, it is the narrow road outside the south gate, which is even more flat than 30 years later.

  Of course, Lin Zhenhua also knew that the only thing that wouldn't change was the South Gate. The East Gate, which is now a paddy field, will rise to become a forest of skyscrapers in 30 years' time. Many famous internet companies will proudly put their names on top of those buildings. And house prices here will soar to 30,000 yuan per square meter, making the price of a three-bedroom apartment equivalent to the total value of Hanhua Factory's assets today.

  The new students who had just been picked up from Beijing Station came down from the large bus one by one, carrying their own luggage and looking around at everything with excited and timid eyes. The enthusiastic old students rushed forward to ask which department the freshmen belonged to, then helped the younger brothers and sisters of their department carry their luggage and took them to their respective registration places for registration.

  Lin Fanghua and Yang Xin got off the car hand in hand, instantly producing a stunning effect. The two girls' appearance was above average, plus under Lin Zhenhua's "richly raised daughter" ideology, their clothes were quite fashionable, creating some contrast with the surrounding rural children who were dressed in a more rustic style, which attracted even more attention from onlookers. It's worth noting that Huqing is a school with a male-to-female student ratio of 20:1. A thousand years ago, the Shaolin Temple's martial arts department had 13 monks and one white nun, with a male-to-female ratio of only 13:1.

  All the old men who were welcoming the new life rushed up and shouted in a flurry:

  "Classmates, which department are you from?"

  "Hello fellow student, welcome to the Automotive Engineering Department!"

  "Classmate, you must be from the Architecture Department, right!"

  “……”

  Lin Fanghua was intimidated by this formation, and only now did she understand the three principles that Lin Zhenhua had told her on the train: prevent fire, prevent theft, and prevent Shixiong. The flames spewing out of these Shixiongs' eyes were really making this big girl who had just walked out of a middle school full of male chauvinist ideas feel overwhelmed.

  Yang Xin had been a worker for some time, and in terms of contact with men, she was bolder. She plucked up the courage to say to everyone: "I'm not a student, I'm here to see my sister off, she's from the mechanical department."

  "It's our department!" an old student loudly declared, raising his hand with a look of pride and excitement on his face. The other old students all retreated in dismay, with only a few die-hards remaining, standing there and stealing glances at the two girls, fantasizing that they would give them another glance.

  That senior from the mechanical department squeezed forward, reached out to take the bag in Lin Fanghua's hand, and introduced himself eagerly: "My name is Du Xiangyang, I'm from Class Zero, you're Lin Fanghua, right?"

  Lin Fanghua was startled: "How did you know I'm Lin Fanghua?"

  Du Xiangyang said, "Lin, you don't know that our mechanical department has never recruited a female student since the seven-character class. You are the first and also the only one in this session. Everyone has been waiting for you for a long time."

  "Uh...... how could this be?" Lin Fanghua almost choked to death.

  Under the leadership of Du Xiangyang, Lin Fanghua and others walked into the south gate of Huqing. As they entered, Yang Xin whispered to Lin Zhenhua: "Xiaohua, this is Huqing University, I feel... it's even more broken than our factory."

  Lin Zhenhua held back his laughter, but the south gate of Huqing was indeed not as good as the gate of Hanhua Factory. However, the wooden signboard at their gate was valuable, and even if it were hung on a broken temple door, the incense of that temple would increase tenfold.

  "Little Hua, look, Huqing University still uses iron railings for its gate." Yang Xin reminded Lin Zhenhua.

  Lin Zhenhua broke out in a cold sweat: "Yang Xin, you're not asking me to come to Huqing University to sell electric doors, are you?"

  "I'm afraid you can't help but go to someone's administrative department." Yang Xin whispered teasingly.

  As I entered the south gate, a sea of flags unfolded before my eyes. On both sides of the tree-lined avenue, two rows of desks were arranged, with every two or three desks forming a group, which was a department's reception booth. Behind each booth, a bright red department flag was inserted, and in front of it, a large display board was placed, with some welcoming words for new students written on it. However, the students back then seemed to lack a sense of humor, and the welcome speeches were all dull and clichéd, nothing but phrases like "dedicate yourself to the Four Modernizations" or "serve the country", which couldn't compare to the brilliance of later generations.

  "Lin Fanghua, welcome to join the Department of Mechanical Engineering, I am your counselor Jin Yadong." Behind a desk in the mechanical department, a young teacher-like person took over Lin Fanghua's admission notice and enthusiastically introduced himself to her.

  "Hello, Teacher Jin." Lin Fanghua greeted politely.

  Jin Yadong looked up and saw Lin Zhenhua and Yang Xin following behind Lin Fanghua, and he asked in surprise: "Are the two classmates behind you with you?"

  "Yes, he is my brother, Lin Zhenhua. She is...my friend, Yang Xin. The two of them came to see me off." Lin Fanghua introduced, when introducing Yang Xin, she originally wanted to say sister-in-law, hesitated for a moment, and changed her words. In such a solemn occasion, it's not suitable to play with Yang Xin again.

  "Oh, welcome. " Jin Yadong stretched out his hand and shook hands with Lin Zhenhua, then asked: "Comrade Lin Zhenhua, which unit are you working in Beijing?"

  "No," said Lin Zhenhua. "I work at Jiangnan Province's Hanhua Machinery Factory, and this time I'm here specifically to send my sister to school."

  "Personally escorting your sister to school?" The surrounding students were all shocked.

  In this era, going out is a difficult thing. From Jiangsu Province to Beijing, the hard seat on the train costs more than 30 yuan, and a round trip costs more than 70 yuan. This family has two people seeing them off at once, so the transportation cost alone is over 150 yuan. What kind of sister can receive such attention?

  "Maybe her brother just happened to be in Beijing on a business trip?" someone kindly speculated.

  "It's possible that this girl really comes from a wealthy family. Look at her clothes, they're really cool." Another person said.

  "Maybe he's an individual entrepreneur at home."

  "It's impossible, didn't you hear her brother say it? He is a factory worker."

  "This factory must be very rich."

  “……”

  These whispers, one by one, pierced Lin Fanghua's ears, making her feel infinitely embarrassed. At first, when her brother said he would send her to school for registration, she didn't think much of it and felt very happy. Now, she began to regret it a bit - if only she had known earlier, she wouldn't have let her brother send her, now she's become the subject of everyone's gossip, how humiliating!

  Jin Yadong noticed Lin Fanghua's embarrassment, and with a glance, he stopped the surrounding students. Then he instructed Du Xiangyang: "Du Xiangyang, take Lin Fanghua to the general affairs office to buy meal tickets, then take her to the dormitory. On your way back, arrange accommodations for Lin Fanghua's brother and sister... Ah, yes, Comrade Lin Zhenhua, can you stay at the reception house?" The last sentence was directed at Lin Zhenhua.

  Lin Zhenhua nodded repeatedly: "No problem, if there's really no place to live, we can set up a bed on the floor in the gymnasium."

  Jin Yadong burst out laughing: "How is this possible? How can the school let parents set up beds in the gymnasium?"

  Lin Zhenhua smiled but didn't speak. This was the sorrow of those who had crossed over - he had originally spoken sincerely, but others insisted on treating it as a joke.

  A group of people arrived at the general affairs office, Lin Zhenhua wanted to help his sister buy meal tickets, but Lin Fanghua refused and insisted on going herself. She saw that other newcomers were running around by themselves, while she was still accompanied by her brother and future sister-in-law, which made her feel embarrassed.

  Lin Zhenhua understood Lin Fanghua's thoughts after a second of stunned silence, he no longer insisted, and let Lin Fanghua run into the small building of the General Affairs Department alone, while he and Yang Xin stood outside waiting.

  "Wow, Huaqing University is so big!" Yang Xin finally had time to share her thoughts with Lin Zhenhua.

  "We've only just started, and Huaqing covers an area of 3,200 mu. There's still a large piece of land behind that hasn't been developed yet."

  "Xiao Hua, I feel like you're very familiar with both Beijing and Huaying?"

  "Hmm..." Lin Zhenhua was a bit tongue-tied, earlier on the way here, Yang Xin and Lin Fanghua were both filled with a kind of curiosity like Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden, only Lin Zhenhua had an air of calmness about him, which was really quite unreasonable.

  "Mainly because I was a scout, scouts have to be like that, no matter what new things they see, they can't show a surprised look."

  "It turned out to be like this." Yang Xin had blind trust in her boyfriend. However, it's not hard to understand why - after all, she and Lin Zhenhua had grown up together since childhood, and she knew that Lin Zhenhua would never make it to Beijing.

  "Yang Xin, tomorrow I'll take you out to play and see what's so special about the Summer Palace, Fragrant Hills, and the Great Wall. Since we're in Beijing anyway, let's just consider it a pre-honeymoon trip."

  "What's that!" Yang Xinyan rolled her eyes at Lin Zhenhua and then asked hypocritically, "Playing in these places, won't it cost a lot of money?"

  "Money is no problem." Lin Zhenhua said, "Don't you know your boyfriend is a big shot?"

  Yang Xinxiao smiled and said: "You're still a big shot, aren't you? The money you made from doing business wasn't all paid out when the shares were exchanged?"

  "I still have some left," Lin Zhenhua confessed. "My old squad leader taught me that as a man, you must have some private savings."

  "If we get married, I won't let you hide your private money!" Yang Xin said in a low voice. Under Lin Zhenhua's constant encouragement, she is now slowly accepting this kind of teasing, but when speaking, her voice still dares not to be so loud.

  "Brother! Yang Xin, look quickly, these are the meal tickets I bought! And here are the industrial coupons I just received." Lin Fanghua ran out of the building with a big smile on her face, handing over a stack of paper slips for Lin Zhenhua and Yang Xin to see. The so-called industrial coupons were vouchers for buying matches, soap, toilet paper and other industrial products, with limited quantities available each month. This kind of thing also existed in Jiangnan Province, and Lin Fanghua was no stranger to it since she had been a housekeeper before.

  Yang Xin took over the pile of things and flipped through them with interest: "This is a vegetable ticket, this is a grain ticket, this is a noodle ticket, this is a rice ticket...... Xiaofang, how can you be so messy?"

  "Let me see, let me see." Lin Fanghua leaned over and also furrowed her brow: "I only said to buy meal tickets, how come there are so many, with grain and rice too, what does it mean?"

  Lin Zhenhua wanted to give his sister some guidance, but he didn't understand the subtleties either. It was Du Xiangyang standing beside him who played a role: "Lin classmate, you're both from the south, so it's normal that you don't understand this. Our school's southern classmates didn't understand when they first came either."

  "What does it mean?" Lin Fanghua humbly asked for guidance.

  "Let me explain to you. This grain coupon is used to buy coarse grains, such as corn flour buns and rice porridge. This flour coupon is for buying ordinary steamed buns, noodles, and baozi. And then there's the rice coupon, which is of course for buying rice."

  "Is that so." Lin Fanghua understood and complained, "The teacher who sold the meal tickets didn't make it clear either. I like to eat rice, I don't want so many grain tickets and flour tickets."

  Du Xiangyang said: "Lin classmate, this is the national regulation, not something that teachers can change. We students have a national subsidy for grain, with a fixed amount of 36 kilograms per month. Ah, you girls get a little less, it's...32 kilograms, right? These 32 kilograms include 8 kilograms of grain, 18 kilograms of flour and 6 kilograms of rice. If you don't want to take the rice coupons, you can exchange them for flour coupons. But if you don't want flour coupons, you can't exchange them for rice coupons. Because our northern region is short on rice, this fixed amount of 6 kilograms of rice is taken care of by the country, and even our teachers' quotas don't have that much rice."

  "But I like to eat rice, what can I do?" Lin Fanghua was worried. In the south, staple food is just something that occasionally changes flavor, how can it be mainly staple food? If lunch must be eaten with steamed buns, how can this life be lived?

  "Lin, don't worry, if you really can't get used to eating it, just come find me later. I'll have the northern students exchange rice tickets for noodle tickets with you." Du Xiangyang finally showed his usefulness.

  "Then thank you, Du," Lin Fanghua said with a hint of embarrassment.

  Du Xiangyang felt happy to the point of being out of his mind for a moment, and he grinned from ear to ear: "It's nothing, this is what I should do, it's what I'm supposed to do."

  All the formalities were completed, and Du Xiangyang led them to the front of the only girls' dormitory building in Huqing University. This building, called Xin Zhai, was said to be designed by Liang Sicheng himself. However, Lin Zhenhua had never seen anything special about it. Compared with his later residence in Zi Jing Apartments, the living conditions in Xin Zhai were really too shabby.

  "Is this the New Dorm?" Lin Fanghua asked in surprise. Her view was different from her brother's, and in her eyes, this building was really too magnificent, and there wasn't a single building as beautiful and grand as this one in the entire Hanhua Factory. She had also heard of the name "New Dorm" from her brother long ago, and he had even said a famous phrase: "Huaqing has many talented young men, but New Dorm has no beautiful women." As she walked into the Huaqing campus, seeing all the shaved heads, Lin Fanghua began to understand what this phrase meant.

  "Du classmate, female dormitory, we can also go in, right?" Lin Zhenhua asked Du Xiangyang.

  "Of course," said Du Xiangyang.

  "Xiao Fang, let's go, we'll send you back to your dormitory," said Lin Zhenhua.

  Lin Fanghua said: "No need, you guys go open the guest house and stay there, I'll just go back to my dormitory."

  Yang Xindao said: "Xiaofang, we'll go help you make your bed and stuff."

  Lin Fanghua's face turned bright red: "No need, you're all helping me like this, it's as if I'm a spoiled young lady."

  Lin Zhenhua nodded: "Forget it, anyway I know which dormitory you are in. Let's do this, Yang Xin and I will go to the reception desk to handle the accommodation procedures, you go to the dormitory to settle down first. We'll come over later to take you out for dinner."

  "I don't want it, I'll go eat by myself." Lin Fanghua said, "You all just go out and have fun, come find me again tomorrow."

  Lin Zhenhua and Yang Xin looked at each other, Yang Xin said: "Okay, if not, I'll go with Xiao Hua first, you go back to the dormitory by yourself, if there's anything, just come to the reception room to find us."

  "Alright, alright." Lin Fanghua said impatiently.

  Lin Zhenhua and Yang Xin were going to find the reception room, so Du Xiangyang had no choice but to take them. Although he also wanted to send Lin Fanghua back to her dormitory, since even her brother was driven away, it was natural that she wouldn't let this senior brother of hers help either.

  Three people turned around and walked a few steps, Lin Zhenhua inadvertently turned his head to take a look, only to find that Lin Fanghua had not entered the new dormitory, but was still standing on the road, looking at them pitifully.

  "What's wrong, Xiaofang?" Lin Zhenhua asked loudly.

  "Brother!" Lin Fanghua's pretended strength vanished in an instant, she dropped the luggage at her feet and rushed towards Lin Zhenhua, shamelessly hugging her brother and bursting into tears: "Brother, I don't want you to leave!"
