With Su Xiaosi here, the journey along the way is not boring.
A few days later, they finally arrived at Jinghai City. The weather at noon was not as cold as Jinbao expected.
"Shave your head, shave your head for two cents." A man in a white coat shouted through a loudspeaker. There was a bicycle next to him. There were scissors, combs and other things in the bag hanging on it, which were placed diagonally on the ground.
The cardboard has "Haircuts for Men and Women" written in red letters.
Next door to the barber stall is a grasshopper vendor, whose bicycle is covered with grasshopper cages.
The children gathered around him and asked the price of the grasshopper. The scene was very lively.
"Wow," Su Xiaosi exclaimed, "everyone in Jinghai City has a bicycle."
He obviously grew up in Jinghai City, but at this moment he suddenly felt like a country boy coming to a big city.
The streets in Jinghai City were very clean. On their way to Jinghua University, Jinbao and the others looked out the window and saw primary and secondary school students on the sidewalk wearing brightly colored clothes, pink, green, yellow...
Deliang, which is still rare to the people of Bao'an County, has long been commonplace to the people of Jinghai City.
There is a traffic light at the intersection, and "Pay attention to safety" is written on the side of the platform. The traffic policeman, wearing a white Chinese tunic collared uniform, navy blue trousers with thick red floss, and a white flat-topped hat with a large brim, is directing traffic.
When the red light turned green, everyone continued on their bicycles.
As Su Xiaosi said, Jinghai City seems to have a bicycle in every hand, and everything in sight is a bicycle...
The giant poster depicts vibrant scenes of people from all walks of life, with eye-catching red letters saying, "Promote production, promote work, grasp the economy, and do better work in all aspects!"
"Fourth brother, I feel like Jinghai City has changed so much that I almost don't recognize it anymore," Su Xiaowu said.
"We've rarely been to this place before, so it's normal that we're not familiar with it. If we go in the direction of the machinery factory, we'll be familiar with it."
While they were chatting, Su Wennian asked Jinbao sitting next to him if he felt cold.
Jin Bao shook his head gently, "It's not cold at noon, but the temperature difference here is big between morning and night. It will probably be cold at night. After putting our luggage in the dormitory, we still have to go to the department store to buy clothes."
"Well," Su Wennian thought for a moment, "In this way, Xiaosi and Xiaowu will send you to Jinghua University to register, and I will report to the Academy of Fine Arts, and then I will find you again."
"Okay, let's meet at the school gate."
After the two people agreed, they split into two groups. Su Wennian got off the bus a few stops ahead of time.
The bus automatically plays, "Please show your monthly pass. If you don't have a ticket, please buy a ticket. Take the bus in a civilized manner. Start with me..."
After about two more stops, the in-car announcement reminded: "The next stop, Jinghua University Station, has arrived..."
Jinbao heard the reminder and walked to the back door with her two brothers and got out of the car as soon as it stopped.
After showing the admission notice to the guard, they walked into the campus from the south gate. Su Xiaosi was carrying a quilt and looking around. His fifth brother followed him, carrying large and small bags in his hands, and looking left and right along the way.
"Wow, this is a university." They sighed.
"Fifth brother, do you want me to get you some?" Jin Bao couldn't help but say.
Su Xiaowu said hurriedly: "No, dad sent me and fourth brother here just to carry your luggage."
Jin Bao saw that other students were carrying their own luggage, "But I didn't take anything with my hands empty, it seemed a bit strange..."
"Then take this lightest one." Su Xiaowu handed Jinbao a bag containing shortbread cookies made by their mother.
Jin Bao carried the bag and asked the new students where the registration place was when seeing people along the way.
Most people are freshmen themselves and don't know much about it.
When Jinbao finally found the freshman registration office, she heard her fourth brother and fifth brother's stomachs drumming, and hurriedly stuffed two biscuits from the bag into their mouths.
"I'll go and complete the formalities, and then we'll go have dinner with Third Brother."
Su Xiaosi was chewing biscuits and asked, "Jin Bao, is it okay for you to go through the formalities alone? You don't need me to accompany you?"
"No, don't wander around, otherwise I won't be able to find you when I come out," Jin Bao said.
"Okay, then go ahead." Su Xiaosi nodded.
Because they arrived three days in advance, there were not too many students reporting in that day.
Soon it was Jinbao's turn in the queue, and she submitted her admission letter, student status file and photos.
"You are Su Jin," the teacher in charge of the admission procedures raised his head and glanced at Jin Bao, "Seventeen years old, the youngest student in our class. I heard that you are a little prodigy. Your student status file only lasts for one year of elementary school.
After half a year of middle school, I actually managed to get the top prize in the provincial examination."
Jin Bao felt it was strange to be called a child prodigy, so he smiled awkwardly, "It's a fluke."
"Oh, you little girl is quite modest."
The teacher completed the formalities and handed her the key to the dormitory building, "Room 408, Girls' Dormitory, Building 6."
After saying that, she seemed to have thought of something, took out a notepad from the drawer, and said, "This is a reward for top students."
Jinbao took the notepad and saw the words "Beijing University" printed on the black cover. The workmanship was very exquisite. For students of this era, it was a very happy thing to have such a beautiful notebook.
.
"Since you are a special enrollment student, your tuition is free and you will receive a monthly subsidy of 15 yuan. If you feel that 15 yuan is not enough to live on, you can apply for a work-study job. The salary is usually around 10 yuan."
"Thank you," Jinbao said, "I will apply if I need it."
After completing the formalities, she took the key and left the building, found her fourth brother and her fifth brother and went to the girls' dormitory together.
Buildings 1~4 are male dormitories, Buildings 5~6 are female dormitories, and Building 7 next to them is the canteen, which can be said to be very convenient for cooking.
Next to the red brick building, there were several people cleaning up the remaining slogans, which should have been left by former students.
The words "I will not offend others unless they offend me" are still vaguely visible.
Jin Bao glanced at it casually and could probably think of what had happened in this place before.
There was no one in the dormitory. Jinbao was the first to arrive. She searched for a while but didn't see a name written on the bed.
"If you didn't write your name, it should be first come, first served," Su Xiaosi asked, "Jin Bao, do you want to sleep on the upper bunk or the lower bunk?"
"Let's have a lower bunk," Jin Bao thought for a while and said, "I don't like climbing up and down."
"Then choose this bed," Su Xiaowu said, pointing to the bed near the balcony. "It's brighter here, suitable for reading, and it's not easy for people coming in and out to pass by you. How about it?"
"Okay, then choose that."
There are four beds in a dormitory. The bed is against one wall and there is a desk on the other side.
Jinbao put her luggage on the lower bunk near the balcony, and then went out with her fourth and fifth brothers to find their third brother.
