On this day in September, Lu Yang and the others finally welcomed the start of school.
Shen Lijuan and Lao Lu wanted to see Lu Yang off in person, but Lu Yang refused his parents' offer.
The reason he gave was simple: I am more familiar with Bingzhou than you are.
Lu Jianjun knew that his son was mentally mature and had been running business in Bingzhou during the summer vacation, so he didn't persist.
The luggage and changes of clothes that Shen Lijuan prepared for Lu Yang were also left at home by Lu Yang.
He has a habit of traveling far away, that is, he doesn't like to pack big or small bags.
A simple shoulder bag with a change of clothes and a water bottle is enough.
Originally, Meng Xiaopeng wanted his parents to send him to school. Hearing that Lu Yang dared to go to school alone, he decided to go with Lu Yang.
Meng Xiaopeng's parents were relieved to know that their son had been to the provincial capital twice with Lu Yang.
Gu Xiaowan also wanted to take the train with Lu Yang. Gu Xianming, a daughter-in-law, felt that taking the train was a bit slow, so he decided to drive his daughter personally.
This morning, Lu Jianjun and Shen Lijuan took Lu Yang to the station.
"Son, remember to call mom when you get to school."
"If you are short of money or need something, remember to tell me and mom will send it to you."
"Remember to study hard when you get to school, and don't skip class."
The mother was worried when her son traveled thousands of miles, and Shen Lijuan was nagging her all the way.
Lu Yang put his arm around his mother's shoulders: "Mom, don't worry, I have a favor to ask of you."
Shen Lijuan quietly wiped her moist eyes: "What's the matter?"
Lu Yang: "If someone comes to our house in the future and wants to discuss partnership business, financial investment, etc., please remember to call me to inform me."
He was afraid that while he was studying in college outside, someone would steal his family fortune, and he would become a second generation negative again.
Shen Lijuan patted her son on the shoulder: "You are not a big person, but you care about a lot of things."
Lu Jianjun concentrated on driving the car. He was thinking, was his son's words meant for him?
Since the MP3 business was on the right track, many relatives and friends came to borrow money or open a joint store. Most of them were rejected by Lu Jianjun. Some of them had good connections and could not save face, so Lu Jianjun borrowed some money.
After Lu Yang found out, he told Lao Lu that anyone who didn't have a close relationship with him who came to borrow money should just say that the funds were invested in factory construction, and borrowing from outside was strictly prohibited.
Who doesn’t know that in this era, it’s the boss who borrows money?
After arriving at the train station, it was still half an hour before departure.
Shen Lijuan and Lu Jianjun saw that Meng Xiaopeng's parents were also there, and the two families gathered together and started chatting.
Lu Yang found that when many parents met, they would praise each other's children and then belittle their own children.
Meng Xiaopeng smiled silly at Lu Yang while carrying his thick luggage.
When the time was almost up, Lu Yang asked his father and mother to go back. He helped Meng Xiaopeng carry her luggage into the ticket check window.
"Lao Meng, you are moving, why do you bring so many things?"
"My mother insisted on stuffing them inside my clothes. She said it would be cold in winter."
Lu Yang was speechless, how pitiful the hearts of parents in the world were.
After entering the station, Lu Yang saw that Huang Bingqian had arrived early. Next to her stood a weather-beaten middle-aged woman with calluses on her hands, telling her about the hardships and difficulties of life.
Lu Yang walked over to say hello.
Huang Bingqian introduced Lu Yang and Meng Xiaopeng to her mother.
Her mother was a little cautious, with a smile on her face, and told Lu Yang to remember to take more care of her daughter in the provincial capital.
Lu Yang said it was no problem. Huang Bingqian’s university was not far from their school anyway.
Huang Bingqian said to her mother: "Mom, why don't you refund the ticket and go back? I can go to the provincial capital with my classmates."
She also wanted her father to send her off, but her patriarchal father didn't like her. The family's financial conditions were tight and they didn't allow the whole family to buy tickets to send her off.
Huang Bingqian's mother said: "How can that be done? This luggage is very heavy. When you get to school, you have to carry it to register."
Lu Yang said: "Auntie, please go back. Xiaopeng and I can send Bingqian to school."
Meng Xiaopeng chatted next to him: "Yes, Auntie, our classmates all go to school by ourselves."
Huang Bingqian tried to persuade her mother to leave the station.
Lu Yang looked at Huang Bingqian's back. Even if it was the first day of school, Huang Bingqian was still wearing old clothes. The only bright spot was the newly bought canvas shoes on her feet.
That pair of canvas shoes only costs fifteen yuan in the shopping street.
Twenty minutes before the train departed, they checked in and entered the station. Lu Yang helped Huang Bingqian carry her luggage.
When he was about to get on the carriage, Lu Yang realized that Huang Bingqian had bought a standing ticket, and he and Meng Xiaopeng were both sleeping berths.
Lu Yang gave Huang Bingqian his sleeper ticket and asked her to go to the sleeper.
Huang Bingqian declined.
Lu Yang smiled and said, "I'm not used to sleeping in sleeper berths. I like to smoke at the connection between the carriages. Please hurry in."
He pushed Huang Bingqian into the sleeper car and went to the hard-seat car.
Huang Bingqian wanted to go find Lu Yang, but was squeezed into the carriage by the people behind her.
Her nose felt inexplicably sore.
Lu Yang is really a considerate boy who knows how to take care of her poor self-esteem and low self-esteem.
Meng Xiaopeng helped Huang Bingqian arrange her luggage and said, "Bingqian, please take a rest here. I'll go over and see Lu Yang."
In this era, high-speed rail is not popular, and airplanes are still the standard for successful people.
There are too many passengers on ordinary trains, and it’s just in time for the university to start, so the carriage is almost full of people, filled with the pungent smell of smoke, instant noodles, and the smell of stinky feet from someone who took off their shoes.
Meng Xiaopeng wanted to go to Lu Yang, but found that there was no way to squeeze through the carriage, so he had to give up.
At this time, Lu Yang was squeezed in the middle of the crowd and secretly complained in his heart.
This guy is pretending to be a bit big. If I had known it would be like this, I would have made a berth at all costs.
However, he does not regret this decision. He sat on the hard seat for 19 hours that year.
It would be even harder if Huang Bingqian and her mother carried the luggage alone.
Lu Yang quietly touched his pockets and found that his wallet and cell phone were still there. Well, he felt relieved.
There are a lot of pickpockets these days.
Not long after Lu Yang's train started, at the Mingjiang City Airport, He Wenchao's parents accompanied him to Jinling to study at university.
He Wenchao was sitting in the waiting hall, looking at the blue sky and white clouds outside.
After all, he embarked on a journey that was getting further and further away from Gu Xiaowan.
I thought Gu Xiaowan would apply for the exam in the south with him, but she didn't keep her promise.
He could only comfort himself in his heart: There is no grass anywhere in the world, so why should he fall in love with a flower unrequitedly?
The terminal began to announce the news, and He Wenchao's father asked him to board the plane.
On the highway, Gu Xianming drove a Buick commercial car and sat in the passenger seat with Lin Ziwei's father.
Liu Yuqing and Lin Ziwei's mother sat in the middle chatting about home affairs.
Gu Xiaowan and Lin Ziwei were sitting in the back row.
Originally, Lin Ziwei was planning to buy a train ticket, but Gu Xianming wanted to drive his daughter off, so he simply took Lin Ziwei along.
Gu Xianming thought carefully. Lin Ziwei and his daughter are good friends, and they are both studying in Bingzhou, so they will have someone to take care of them when the time comes.
As for Lu Yang, who was in the same school as Gu Xiaowan, Gu Xianming was worried...
