Traveling through 70's wine

Today is the school registration day. Wen Qing had breakfast, packed her luggage and went to school to register.

In her previous life, she attended a police academy where military and cultural courses were given equal emphasis. Her academic performance was not very good and she did not learn a lot of knowledge well.

In this life, she must study hard to make up for the regrets of her previous life. She also wants to do business and live an honest life.

A red banner reading "Warmly welcome the freshmen of Class of 78" was hung at the entrance of the University of Technology. Red flags were waving on the campus. The trees on both sides of the road had lost all their leaves, and their branches, like iron wires, pointed high up to the blue sky.

The new student registration office was located in the small square in front of the administrative building. The teachers at the registration office were very enthusiastic about the first batch of college students after the resumption of the college entrance examination. Wen Qing handed in her admission notice, her household registration and other information, and went through the enrollment registration procedures. The teacher introduced the school distribution, dormitory arrangements and classes in detail, and pointed her in the direction of the girls' dormitory.

Wen Qing carried her luggage and turned left and right to find her dormitory.

There are more boys than girls in the University of Technology. 80% of the student dormitories are boys' dormitories. The girls' dormitories are arranged on one side of the dormitory area. Her dormitory is in Building 15, Room 307. Wen Qing found the dormitory manager with the note given when she reported and received the dormitory key.

She was the first to arrive. There were eight names on the door. When she opened the door, she found that the school did not assign beds to each person. She was the first to arrive so she could choose her bed first.

She chose the upper bunk by the window, went to the bathroom, washed the rag, swept the room, wiped the windows, door, and table, and finally wiped her bed carefully.

The room was old and there were some stains on the walls, so she planned to go to the scrap yard to buy some newspapers to paste them up.

While I was making the bed, another girl came in. She looked about 25 or 6 years old. She had a suitcase on her back, a big bag in her right hand, and was holding a little girl in her left hand. The little girl looked a bit like her, so they must be mother and daughter.

Wen Qing stuck her head out and greeted her, "Hello, my name is Wen Qing, and I'm from the Department of Mechanical Engineering."

The girl said, "My name is Zhu Hongying, and I'm from the Department of Physics." After a while, she said, "This is my daughter, Yang Mingli, who is 2 years old. Mingli is my aunt."

The little girl was three heads tall, yellow and thin, and she called out in a baby voice, "Hello, Auntie."

Wen Qing saw the shy look on the little girl's face, so she got down from the upper bunk, took out a handful of candy and gave it to her, "Good girl, Auntie will treat you to some candy."

The little girl Mingli hid behind her mother. Wen Qing stretched out her hand and Zhu Hongying said, "Take it. Thank you, auntie." The little girl took it and whispered, "Thank you, auntie." She held the candy tightly in her hand.

Zhu Hongying asked: "How are the beds arranged here?"

"The school only arranged dormitories, but did not designate beds. You should choose them yourself."

Zhu Hongying hesitated for a moment and said, "How about I choose your lower bunk?"

Wen Qing knew what she meant and said with a smile, "That's fine. I'll help you."

I picked up the rag, went to the bathroom to wash it, and came back to help her clean the bed.

Zhu Hongying brought two quilts, one thick and older one, which was used as a mattress on the bed, and one thin one, which was used as a cover.

Wen Qing asked: "Hongying, when you go to class, what will happen to your daughter?"

Zhu Hongying said embarrassment: "Her father was also admitted to university, but he is at Nanning University. It is not easy for him, a man, to take care of a little girl, and her family won't let her take care of her. So I had no choice but to bring her to school."

He added: "I will go and ask if I can go to the school kindergarten tomorrow."

The little girl sat obediently on the chair, looking around with her big eyes.

Zhu Hongying quickly made the bed, let the little girl sit on it, and gave her a wooden car to play with.

Soon, other girls in the dormitory also arrived. Only one girl was accompanied by her family to check in, and the others came on their own.

The girl who was accompanied by someone had a childish look on her face and looked quite young. She was accompanied by a middle-aged woman who explained, "Our Xueqin has never been far away. Her father and I sent her to school."

Everyone laughed and said, "Auntie really cares about her daughter."

After a busy period, everyone chose their beds, put their things in place, and introduced themselves to each other.

Zhu Hongying, 25 years old, majored in physics, from Shandong Province, lived in the lower bunk on the right side of the window.

Zhao Na, 25 years old, majoring in chemical engineering, from Yunan Province, lives in the lower bunk on the left side of the window.

Wu Xiaomei, 24 years old, majoring in chemistry, from Liaoning Province, lives on the upper bunk on the right side of the door.

Zhao Lanlan, 23 years old, majoring in chemistry, from Donghai City, lives in the upper bunk on the right side of the window.

Xian Yulan is 22 years old, majoring in physics, a native of Pingjing, and lives in the lower bunk on the left side of the door.

Wen Qing is 21 years old, majoring in mechanical engineering, from Hubei Province, and lives on the upper bunk on the right side of the window.

Chen Rui, 19 years old, majored in mechanical engineering, from Hebei Province, lived in the lower bunk on the right side of the door.

Chai Xueqin is 18 years old, majoring in chemistry, from Xijiang Province, and lives on the upper bunk on the left side of the door.

Girls from the same department talked to each other intimately, learning about their future study arrangements, and the room was filled with chatter.

Wen Qing saw that these girls were cheerful and generous, so she said to Chen Rui, who was also from the Department of Mechanical Engineering, "I want to go out and find our classroom. Do you want to go?"

Chen Rui nodded, and the two of them left the dormitory together and walked towards the teaching building.

Pingjing Institute of Technology is an old university whose history can be traced back to the war years. The school has strong engineering strengths.

They found the teaching building of the Mechanical Engineering Department. The freshmen had classes on the first floor. This year, the Mechanical Engineering Department only recruited four classes. Wen Qing was in Class 4 and Chen Rui was in Class , but they took many classes together.

Wen Qing looked at the course schedule posted in the classroom. In addition to mathematics, physics, and English, there were also some professional courses such as drawing, mechanical principles, and electromechanical basics.

She and Chen Rui went to the library to apply for library cards and went to the cafeteria to buy meal tickets.

At noon, everyone went to the school cafeteria to eat together. The school has four cafeterias. Cafeteria 4 is the teachers' cafeteria, and they went to Cafeteria 3 which is closer to the girls' dormitory.

The third cafeteria is very large and there are many people eating there. The eight girls in dormitory 307, plus Chai Xueqin's parents, each went to the window to buy food, and the ten of them sat together with their bowls and started eating.

In the middle of winter, if you take your food back to the dormitory to eat, the food will be cold.

Everyone ate and talked, full of longing for college life.

Two days later, after registration was over, Class 77 of the Department of Mechanical Engineering held its first class meeting.

The counselor was a male teacher in his thirties, surnamed Huang. He was from the last batch of graduates of the school in the 1960s and had just returned to school from the countryside. He did not shout any slogans, but simply emphasized that everyone should cherish the opportunity and work hard, and at the same time distributed teaching materials.

There are thirty students in Class 77 of Grade , only three of them are girls, the rest are boys. The counselor announced that the class leaders will be selected next week.

Wen Qing and two other girls sat in the first row and introduced themselves to each other. One was called Li Lin and the other was called Xie Xingyu. They both lived in Room 306, which was next to Wen Qing's dormitory.
