Back to high school, Peking University is beckoning me

Lu Youning stuck out her tongue playfully and said to her father, "Dad, that market is huge and there are so many people. The food there is so fresh. You can go and have a look next time."

As Dad Lu helped carry the things, he said, "Okay, I'll go take a look next time I have a chance. I've almost finished buying all the New Year's goods, all the things I need for the New Year."

Mother Lu asked, "Have you bought everything? Don't miss anything."

Dad Lu said confidently: "Don't worry, I have carefully checked the list and bought everything I need."

"Mom, let's eat braised pork with sour sauce tonight. My brother just told me that he will be home around 7 o'clock this evening, which is a good time for our family to reunite." Lu Youning looked at Lu's mother expectantly.

Mother Lu nodded and said, "Okay."

Mother Lu suddenly remembered that her daughter was going to Hengdian on the second day of the Chinese New Year. She looked at her daughter and asked, "Have you told your brother that you want him to accompany you to Hengdian?"

Lu Youning replied, "I told you, we've already bought the tickets."

"Well, that's good. Just listen to your brother when the time comes." Mother Lu couldn't help but give a few more instructions.

Lu Youning nodded helplessly and said, "Mom, I'm not a child anymore."

The day after Lu Huaiyu returned, the Lu family packed their bags and set off on a journey back to their hometown to celebrate the New Year.

Today is New Year's Eve. My uncle and my eldest cousin are killing chickens and fish. My second cousin is nowhere to be found, while my aunt and Xiuyan are washing vegetables.

When they saw Lu Youning and his family coming back, they stopped what they were doing and asked about their well-being.

Dad Lu placed the New Year's gifts on the table in the living room and sat down to chat with his parents. He even showed them the Spring Festival couplets written by Lu Youning, his tone full of pride.

Lu Youning had already been pulled into the room by her cousin to have a private conversation.

Mother Lu took out a large piece of beef she had bought earlier and took it to the kitchen, then washed vegetables with her aunt in the yard. The two women skillfully picked and washed the vegetables while chatting about family matters.

The conversation naturally turned to the children's grades. Mother Lu's face was filled with pride, her eyes brimming with joy as she said, "Youning did really well this time, making it into the top ten in her grade. She should be able to get into a key liberal arts class next semester."

Upon hearing this, the eldest aunt's eyes were filled with admiration. She said, "Oh, Youning is such an amazing child! You don't have to worry too much. If only our Xiuyan could work half as hard as Youning does. Youning should take care of Xiuyan more often in the future."

Mother Lu smiled and said, "Xiu Yan's grades are also very good. She will definitely be able to get into No. 1 Middle School next year."

……

During the New Year’s Eve dinner, the whole family sat together and the table was filled with delicious dishes.

My uncle smiled and said, "Everyone has worked hard this year. I hope our family will be safe and healthy in the new year." Everyone raised their glasses and said Happy New Year!

After the New Year's Eve dinner, the adults sat together in the living room to chat, while my second cousin took Youning and Xiuyan to the yard to set off fireworks. The colorful fireworks bloomed in the sky, lighting up the entire night sky.

Lu Youning took out his mobile phone, took a few photos, and sent them to the four-person group with the message: "Happy New Year everyone!" [Picture] [Picture] [Picture].

I'm a little cutie: "Happy New Year! Ningning, are you setting off fireworks in your hometown?"

A little grapefruit: "Yes, with my cousin."

Gu Siyuan: "Happy New Year everyone! All the best!"

Ruan Fuxi: "The fireworks are beautiful, Happy New Year!"

I'm a little cutie: "[Picture] [Picture], I'm celebrating New Year's Eve outside. There are so many people in the square, it's so lively."

Gu Siyuan: "Hey, I'm playing League of Legends, it's so cool. It's crowded outside, so I won't join in the fun."

Ruan Fuxi: "I'm chatting with my grandparents."

Lu Youning: "Xiaoxiao, are you waiting for midnight for the New Year's Eve? I'll probably be asleep by then."

Gu Siyuan: "Sister Ning, why are you going to bed so early? Let's have some fun together!"

I am a little cutie: "Yes, I am with some relatives at home."

Lu Yixiao sent a private message to Lu Youning: "Youning, Happy New Year! I wish you all the best in the new year and that you become more and more beautiful."

Lu Youning replied to Lu Yixiao: "Happy New Year! You too, let's work hard together in the new year.

She casually scrolled the screen and saw many blessings from classmates. Seeing that the messages were obviously group messages, she ignored them and only replied to a few friends she usually played with.

The house in his hometown is a self-built house with three floors. Lu Youning will sleep with his cousin tonight.

After washing up, she lay on the bed and played with her mobile phone. All kinds of messages were flying around in the class group. In a short while, there were already 99+, and some people were even grabbing red envelopes.

Thinking that she had to catch the high-speed train at noon tomorrow, she put down her phone and prepared to go to bed.

Suddenly seeing the New Year greetings sent privately by Ruan Fuxi, Lu Youning thought about it and replied with a blessing.

The next morning, after breakfast, Lu Youning and his brother set off for the train station. Along the way, Lu Youning felt a mixture of excitement and anticipation. The station was sparsely populated on New Year's Day, and they boarded the train smoothly. As the train started moving, the scenery outside the window gradually receded.

At 3 p.m., the high-speed train arrived at its destination on time. As Lu Youning and her brother walked out of the station, they were greeted by the scent of a strange city.

They quickly found a hotel near Hengdian World Studios to stay in. After Lu Youning put down her schoolbag, she couldn't wait to pull out her phone and start contacting screenwriter Liang.

After the call was connected, Lu Youning politely asked, "Happy New Year, Screenwriter Liang! I'm Lu Youning. I'd like to ask when I can join the crew tomorrow?"

Screenwriter Liang paused briefly on the other end of the phone before replying, "Well, Happy New Year, Youning. Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, please go to Gate 3 of the film and television city. Someone will be there to pick you up and join the crew."

Lu Youning quickly responded, "Okay, thank you. I will be there on time." After hanging up the phone, Lu Youning felt nervous and excited.

Lu Youning sent a message to her brother, asking him to arrive at Gate No. 3 of the film and television city at nine o'clock tomorrow morning.

My brother quickly replied: "Don't be too nervous, this is a great opportunity, just give it a try."

Lu Youning nodded and said, "I know, I will try my best."

At night, Lu Youning lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Various scenarios about joining the crew tomorrow kept appearing in her mind, imagining what kind of people she would meet and what challenges she would face.

She secretly encouraged herself to seize this opportunity and show her best side.

The next morning, Lu Youning woke up early. Her brother accompanied her to have breakfast, and then they went to the film and television city together.

When they arrived at Gate No. 3, it was not yet nine o'clock, but Lu Youning already saw staff waiting there.

She walked forward and introduced herself: "Hello, I'm Lu Youning." The staff greeted her warmly and took her into the film and television city.

Upon entering the film and television city, Lu Youning was stunned by the sight before her. The ancient buildings and lifelike scenes made her feel as if she had traveled back to ancient times.

Lu Youning and her brother followed the staff to the filming location of the crew and met screenwriter Liang.

The moment Lu Youning saw Screenwriter Liang, she secretly admired him: "This Screenwriter Liang looks calm and composed, and very beautiful. Her eyes are full of wisdom, and her aura is so powerful."

She stepped forward and greeted him obediently, "Hello, Screenwriter Liang, I'm Lu Youning, it's an honor to meet you."

Screenwriter Liang looked at Lu Youning and the boy beside her and asked, "Is this your brother?"
