Chapter 36 Beijing, Beijing

Xiang Bei had already bought a ticket to Beijing.

Maybe it's a blessing in disguise, and I can finally rest. Comfort yourself to the north.

Early the next morning, a family of three took a taxi to the station and stepped on the high-speed train to Beijing.

Among the three, the one who is most excited about a trip to Beijing is Nuoyi. Since getting on the train, this little guy has not been idle for a moment, sometimes sticking out his head to look at the child next to him, and then standing on the seat and looking around.

"Dad, the Forbidden City is not a big ......" "Dad, is the Great Wall very long......"

During the three-hour drive, Nuo threw out all the "100,000 whys" in his little head, which overwhelmed Xiangbei and Zhou Xuecen.

The two had no choice but to use both soft and hard, taking out chocolate and threatening to spank to silence the imp.

However, in the last few dozen minutes of arriving at Beijing South Railway Station, Nuo Yi finally stopped and fell asleep in Xiangbei's arms.

Thinking about Nuoyi's witty and eccentric energy, and then looking at his sleeping appearance, Xiangbei and Zhou Xuecen looked at each other and smiled. A family of three snuggled together, what could be happier than now?

When they arrived in Beijing, they chose a hotel near the school.

In addition to the eight colleges and universities such as Beijing University of Posts and Posts and Beihang University, Tsinghua University and Peking University, the highest universities in the minds of the Chinese people, Tsinghua University and Peking University, are only a few kilometers away.

Between Xueyuan Road and Huaqing Road, is the legendary center of the universe - Wudaokou, to say that it is the center of the universe, is naturally an exaggeration, to describe it is incomparably bullish! The fact is also true, as long as you stop here, you can feel its vigorous vitality every moment. It covers five or six colleges and universities, including Beihang University, Peking University, Tsinghua University, etc., and also has a very prosperous business district.

There are prosperous places everywhere, but once they are combined with young people, once they are combined with educated young people, there are not many such prosperous places. Every day, no matter what time of day, the streets are always crowded with bustling people, most of them are young people in a hurry, maybe one of them is a college student.

Here, you just need to stand on the side of the road, don't do anything, and look quietly, and you can feel the daily state in the ivory tower, which is the most desirable in China.

During school, this is a road that Xiangbei often passes with his classmates and Zhou Xuecen. Every weekend, they will go from here to a nearby shopping mall or subway station, and then transfer to Haidian Book City, Wangfujing, Dashilar......

Xiangbei walked on this road with Zhou Xuecen and Nuoyi, and memories came back to me. He still remembers the first time he came here, he came to school with his father, the rural people were poor, he had never been to the establishment, and he didn't know how to take the bus or subway. Even the luggage was in fertilizer bags containing corn and wheat.

Xiangbei didn't feel embarrassed at all. He and his father each carried a corner of the fertilizer bag through the bustling streets. They looked at the tall buildings and looked at the city with the nervousness and curiosity of the so-called outsiders.

Later, everything gradually adapted, gradually integrated, and gradually faded away from the old-fashioned and naΓ―ve that was ridiculed, and experienced the joys, sorrows, joys and sorrows that are staged every day in the city. Later, there were hesitations and worries in life. So one morning when I woke up, I hurriedly planned for the future, and struggle and busyness took up most of the time.

"Husband, how does it feel to revisit the old place?" Zhou Xuecen said with a smile.

"Familiar, uh...... Also strange. Look at these passers-by, the students look like they are in a hurry, and we used to be like them. But now, we are already passers-by......" sighed to the north.

It is said that "things are not people", however, people have changed, what is the meaning of things being or not? In Xiang Bei's view, everything here has nothing to do with him, and the city that was regarded as his first love at the beginning has nothing to do with him, and if he insists that it has a relationship, it may only be memories.

The three of them walked into the gate of their alma mater, strolling on the sidewalk next to the main road, flanked by waist-thick poplar trees, and at the end of the road, a Chinese-style teaching building with a history of more than 100 years, which was regarded as a landmark building by the students. Back then, Xiang Bei and Zhou Xuecen saw the picture of the building on the admission letter and began to look forward to college life.

Every spring, the poplar trees on both sides of the road reveal new buds, and the fragrant poplar catkins fly all over the sky, forming a beautiful scenery. Xiang Bei and Zhou Xuecen often rode bicycles through here when they were studying, and the warm wind mixed with the sky was blowing in front of them, warm and romantic.

"Do you remember the KFC across the street?" asked Xiang Bei.

"Remember, I didn't expect it to be still on! It's been eight years. Zhou Xuecen's expression was surprised.

"Every weekend, we almost always go to KFC to eat and rest. I still remember the window position on the second floor. ”

"yes, every time you download those coupons from the Internet, paste them on documents, print them out, and tear them into small pieces. It's not easy to save those few dollars. ”

"Of course, two meals will save a burger. Xiang Bei smiled. He clearly remembers that at that time, everyone could hide in KFC on a hot summer day, order a glass of Coke, sit with the air conditioner blowing for a day, or play the Three Kingdoms in the typhoon shelter until dawn.

It was a simple age, so simple that even if you wear a cheap jeans and T-shirt, you will not make the atmosphere of youth cheap, so simple that you can laugh without scruples when you are happy, and you can cry uncontrollably when you are sad, it is a clear smile, a clear cry, without a trace of impurities.

For the trip to his alma mater, Nuoyi was full of curiosity.

"Dad, did you and Mom meet here?" Nuo's eyes widened, and his voice was childish.

"yes, that's where Mom and Dad went to college. Xiang Bei said.

"What is college? Dad, is it the same as kindergarten?" Nuoyi was very serious, and his words were a little slurred.

"Hmm...... Some aspects are the same, such as...... Listen to the teacher, study in class, and do homework. When I was young, I went to kindergarten, and when I grew up, I could go to college. ”

"Great! I'm about to grow up, I'm going to college!" Noichi jumped up with joy.

"By the way, wife, do you remember the classroom where the graduate school entrance examination exchange meeting was held, that is where we met. Where are we going?" proposed to the north.

"Okay, let's go, I remember it's in the northernmost school building. Zhou Xuecen said.

Although it has been seven or eight years, the layout of the school has not changed much except for a few more high-rise buildings. They quickly found the classroom where the two had first met.

There are no classes in the classroom, but there are many students reading and studying. How many days have he and Zhou Xuecen been like this...... Because of Nuoyi, Xiang Bei and Zhou Xuecen didn't go in, but just looked through the glass window on the door.

Xiang Bei Jiang Nuo lifted himself up and looked in through the window.

"Noyi, this is where Mom and Dad met. ”

Noyi shouted happily, "Dad, I'm going in." ”

Xiang Bei: "Shhh ”

Drop Noichi to the north.

"Husband, do you remember the situation of the graduate school entrance examination exchange meeting at that time?" Zhou Xuecen asked in a low voice.

"Remember, everyone was asking questions at the time, but you asked me for my phone number directly, which really scared me. ”

"Haha, I'm calling it the first strike!" Zhou Xuecen and Xiangbei laughed at the same time, and the laughter was so loud that the students in the classroom looked out curiously.

Xiangbei hurriedly pulled Zhou Xuecen and Nuo Yi and ran out.

The three of them walked aimlessly, the university dormitory, basketball court, library, campus store, snack street outside the school, and even every path they once walked together, full of memories. Xiang Bei seemed to recall the tension and throbbing when the two first held hands, hugged, and snuggled up.

Before you know it, it's evening.

"Dad, I'm hungry. Even the energetic Noichi began to get tired.

Xiang North: "Let's go to the cafeteria." ”

Zhou Xuecen: "Canteen, have you forgotten? There is no cash there, only meal cards." ”

Xiang Bei: "I know, since I'm here, I'll try my luck." ”

There are four canteens at the alma mater, each with a different character. Xiang Bei and Zhou Xuecen decided to go to the second canteen, and they often went there during their studies.

The three of them decided to try their luck in the cafeteria to see if they could get a meal from their younger siblings.

Zhou Xuecen waited at the door. To the north, I went into the cafeteria, looked at each window one by one, and then circled the hall again. The cafeteria is not big and old, but the meals are as hearty as they were back then, with a variety of meat and vegetarian dishes, as well as buns, noodles and other pastries. Of course, the most important thing is to have the sweet and sour tenderloin and kung pao chicken that they have always missed.

It's so much better than our unit cafeteria, I really want to be here every day. Feeling northward.

"Hello, classmate, can you borrow your meal card and use it, I'll give you cash. Xiangbei tried to ask for help from a boy with glasses.

Although the alma mater stipulates that meals in the cafeteria can only be eaten with a meal card, and cannot be paid in cash. However, because the food is delicious and cheap, it attracts many surrounding villagers to eat. Over time, everyone came up with a way to borrow a student meal card and then transfer cash to each other.

"No problem. The boy was obviously accustomed to this kind of request, and without thinking, he took out the meal card and handed it to Xiangbei.

"Thank you, thank you. Xiangbei seemed to have obtained the key to open the treasure chest, and excitedly selected food with Zhou Xuecen and Nuoyi.

"Sweet and sour tenderloin, kung pao chicken, and beef patties! ”

Both of them ordered their favorite dishes and staple foods, and gave Nuo another dish. Settle the cost and return the cash to the boy to the north.

The three of them found an inconspicuous corner and sat down.

"It's so fragrant!" Zhou Xuecen sniffed the sweet and sour tenderloin on the plate, and then looked at Xiang Bei and Nuoyi, and the two stared at Zhou Xuecen's plate in unison. "It's been a great day, let's go. ”

Nuo smiled and said, "Oh, let's go, let's eat." ”
