The university reported on September 10th, 11th, and 12th, and Hu Mengxian originally wanted Wei Ming to leave on September 9, take the night train to Zunyi, and report to the school on September 10.

In his previous life, Wei Mingrang was indeed on this trip.

But this time, Wei Mingrang excused himself by saying that he was afraid of traffic jams on the road, or that Chongqing was too big, and he couldn't find the road at that time, so he had to set off in advance.

"What if you go a day earlier and there is no one to receive and no dormitory to live in?" asked Hu Mengxian.

Wei Ming said: "No, this is about to start, and it is impossible for the school to be empty." Besides, even if I can't get into the school, I can find a small hotel near the school and stay for a night for ten or twenty yuan. ”

Hu Mengxian was naturally reluctant to let her son go to a hotel to spend money, but after persuading her for a while, she didn't persuade her. At Wei Mingrang's insistence, Hu Mengxian finally reluctantly agreed to Wei Mingrang's departure a day earlier.

So, after lunch on September 8, Wei Mingrang said goodbye to his mother and two younger sisters, took only a suitcase, and set off lightly.

Wang Fang, who is full of hands, endured it for two months, and when he arrives at college, he can finally show his skills!

……

The 326 National Highway from Meitan to Zunyi was as rugged and congested as ever, and the bus drove for almost 4 hours until 17 o'clock in the afternoon, and then arrived in Zunyi.

There was no time to find a place to have dinner, so Wei Ming got off the bus and hurried out of the station, transferred to the next train station, and bought a train ticket.

At this time, it is the time for universities around the country to register, not only students, but also parents who send students, and there are really not many people like Wei Mingrang who sign up alone.

Especially for girls, most of them are accompanied by their parents for safety, and only a few dare to go out alone like boys.

Wei Mingrang found a window that looked like there was a little less queue and began to line up.

After standing for less than two minutes, a delicate-looking but shabby-dressed girl struggled to carry two snakeskin bags and lined up behind Wei Mingrang.

Wei Mingrang turned his head to take a look, and suddenly felt that this girl was a little familiar.

If there was no perverted memory, Wei Mingrang would definitely not be able to remember.

But now that Wei Mingrang recalled it a little, he remembered that this girl was a freshman at Chongqing Technology and Business University like him, and Wei Mingrang had seen it more than once on campus.

But what her specific name was and which college she was studying in, Wei Mingrang didn't know anything, and could only recall seeing her on campus and knowing that she was from the same school as himself.

In his previous life, Wei Mingrang only set off on September 9, so naturally he didn't meet this girl, and he didn't know her.

Now Wei Mingrang left a day earlier because he had something to do, but how could this female classmate also leave a day earlier?

The curious Wei Mingrang half-turned around and smiled at her, and accosted her and asked, "Hello, are you going to report to the university?"

The girl smiled a little vigilantly: "Yes, are you too? Which school did you go to?"

Wei Mingrang showed her the notice in his hand and said, "Chongqing Technology and Business University, what about you?"

The girl immediately relaxed her vigilance and smiled in surprise: "Me too!"

Then, take out her notice and show it to Wei Mingrang.

Wei Mingrang remembered correctly, she was indeed a freshman at Chongqing Technology and Business University. However, she is not in the same department as Wei Mingrang, she is an accounting major in the School of Accountancy.

Seeing that they met a college alumnus who was also a freshman, the two suddenly felt much closer, and chatted while queuing.

Through chatting, I learned that the girl's name is Ling Shiyao, from FG County, a little farther than Meitan, dozens of kilometers, but they are all on a national highway.

If Ling Shiyao takes a car from Fenggang to and from ZY City, she has to pass by National Highway 326 in front of Wei Mingrang's house.

Seeing that the distance was not far away, the two became more cordial.

Of course, Wei Mingrang didn't ask questions that were too private, but it could be seen that Ling Shiyao's family conditions were not very good.

She went out to school alone, Wei Mingrang estimated that it also meant saving money, after all, one more person sent her to Chongqing, and it would cost a lot of money to pay for the fare, food and drink on the road.

But Ling Shiyao's eldest sister works in Chongqing, so she was specially asked to go to Chongqing one day in advance, stay with her sister for a day, recognize the door, and go to her sister to play on weekends and holidays in the future.

After getting to know each other, Wei Mingrang took the responsibility to share a snakeskin bag with Ling Shiyao, which made her feel a lot easier.

After queuing for more than an hour, it was finally their turn, and the two used the admission notice to buy a half-price ticket to Chongqing Caiyuanba Railway Station at 22 o'clock in the evening.

First-year students do not have a student ID, but they can buy a half-price ticket with an admission letter.

After buying the ticket, it was close to 19 o'clock, and the two of them could finally find a place to eat with peace of mind.

Wei Mingrang helped Ling Shiyao carry a duffel bag, and the two of them found an ordinary fast food restaurant to eat a fried rice, 3 yuan per person, even if the dinner problem was solved.

After eating, Wei Mingrang took the initiative to settle the account, Ling Shiyao felt embarrassed and wanted to pay Wei Mingrang, but Wei Mingrang did not accept it, saying that if he is an alumnus and a fellow countryman, he should not be polite.

Seeing that Wei Mingrang resolutely refused to refuse, Ling Shiyao had no choice but to thank her, and then the two returned to the train station, entered the waiting hall, and found a place to sit down and wait for the train.

When it was close to 22 o'clock, the ticket gate began to check the tickets, Wei Mingrang and Ling Shiyao followed the flow of people to check in and get on the train, find their carriage and location, put their luggage away, and wait for the departure.

In 2005, there was naturally no high-speed rail, and it was still a green train.

The train that Wei Mingrang and Ling Shiyao were sitting on was still a slow train, not even an air-conditioned express train. The train departs after 22 o'clock in the evening, and it will not arrive at Chongqing Caiyuanba Station until 6 o'clock in the morning.

With a distance of less than 300 kilometers, the train takes more than 7 hours and slows down to only about 40 km/h, which is quite difficult.

Thinking of the world's largest high-speed rail network in terms of mileage more than ten years later, and the pride of foreigners who have to exclaim out when they take China's high-speed rail, Wei Mingrang's nostalgia for high-speed rail is extremely strong.

Thinking of the start of China's high-speed railway, Wei Mingrang couldn't help but feel amused when countless people felt the same and indignant sentence "China, please stop your speeding footsteps and wait for your people".

Having witnessed the rapid development of China's economy, military, politics, people's livelihood, and public security more than a decade later, and witnessing all kinds of shameless things done by European and American powers to contain China, and even dealing with the daughter of the boss of a private company with the respect of the world's largest power, Wei Mingrang suddenly had a lofty ambition that was walking on the road to rejuvenation.

The dream of a great country and the dream of rejuvenation have a bumpy road ahead, but the motherland will surely rise.

Wei Mingrang's rebirth will not only change the lives of himself and his family, but also the fate of countless relatives and friends, and may even accelerate the pace of China's rejuvenation.
