Chapter 150: I'm about to go abroad and leave my alma mater for a while
December 18th is a memorable day for Chen Jingping. On this day, Chen Jingping's visa to the United States was finally issued. After receiving the phone call in the morning, she asked Senior Li Bin for leave, terminated the experiment she was doing, and immediately took a taxi to the Exit and Entry Administration Center to get a visa. When the visa arrived, she couldn't wait to send the good news to Zhu Zixuan, her roommate and Senior Li Bin.
During the period of waiting for the visa, under the guidance of Senior Li Bin, Chen Jingping did a lot of professional comprehensive experiments, and through the introduction of Senior Li Bin, she went to the analysis and testing department of the school to learn the working principles and use methods of large-scale instruments and equipment, and established a strong professional self-confidence.
The next thing is to check the flight to book the ticket, and Senior Li Bin sent her a few websites to buy cheap international tickets. Because universities in the United States are closed for Christmas and New Year's Day, Chen Jingping decided to fly from Beijing to the United States on January 10. Tickets to the United States were expensive and tight at this time, but Chen Jingping was lucky enough to grab the last economy class ticket for this flight. I also found a Korean female student who shared a house on the rental network in the United States, and the rented house was located in a two-room student apartment near the university, and the Korean girl who shared the house just moved in last week. Everything went smoothly and perfectly, the only fly in the ointment is that this time is the peak season for air tickets, and the fares are expensive. As soon as the flight was confirmed, Chen Jingping emailed Professor Stephen to inform her of the time she would arrive in the United States.
In the afternoon, Chen Jingping came to the college office and the school's academic affairs department and student department to ask for leave and seal, and said goodbye to the teachers one by one. The teachers inevitably congratulated and encouraged her.
After doing this, it was less than four o'clock when I returned to the dormitory. Of course, Chen Jingping wants to go to the restaurant and take the opportunity to eat and drink, but there is not so much delicious food when she goes to the United States. But thinking that Song Yao was going to take the 2019 National Master's Degree Entrance Examination on the weekend, it was the most critical few days before the exam, but she must not be distracted, so she couldn't go to the hotel.
Chen Jingping is not such an easy person to give up, she has to think of a way, not only to celebrate, but not too much, and it is best to finish it today, so as not to involve too much energy of Song Yao. And pay attention to what you give Song Yao to eat, the exam will be taken in a few days, and she must not be allowed to eat her stomach badly and affect her preparation for the exam in the past few days.
Chen Jingping creatively held a nondescript celebration ceremony for herself in the dormitory: she borrowed a table from the dormitory manager, asked someone to help move to the dormitory, and ordered five rosemary roasted lamb chops, five boxes of pasta, five boxes of salad, five pastries, five boxes of Häagen-Dazs ice cream, five cups of fresh grapefruit juice, as well as a braised pig's trotters, a stir-fried chrysanthemum, a box of fried dumplings, and six bowls of rock sugar white fungus lotus seed soup. She didn't dare to ask for any of everyone's favorite spicy dishes, for fear that Song Yao couldn't help but eat them!
When the meal arrived, she told the other five to hurry back to the dormitory and enjoy the East-meets-West dinner she had specially prepared. Chen Jingping deliberately chose this dinner in the dormitory, which has several intentions: first, it is to facilitate Song Yao to go back to the study room to study quickly after eating; The second is that Song Yao and Feng Lu's arm injuries are just right, and they still need to be quietly recuperated, which can reduce the probability of accidents in their arms again in the dormitory; The third is that she will leave the dormitory soon, and she will not have so many good friends when she lives in an apartment in the United States, and she wants to keep more photos of her life in this big group.
One after another, they came back and sat down at the table. Song Yao looked at the Chinese-style braised pork trotters, stir-fried chrysanthemum and fried dumplings specially prepared for her in front of her, and then looked at the Western-style meals in the distance, looking helpless. Chen Jingping said that those Western-style meals were not Song Yao's. As for the others, they eat whatever they want. Seeing that Song Yao also snatched a cut lamb chop from Su Yuhan's plate, stole a chopstick vegetable from Feng Lu's salad box, and stuffed it into her mouth, Chen Jingping just laughed and didn't seriously stop it.
Congratulations, grabbing, eating, making trouble, a table of meals to eat. Chen Jingping opened a carton box on the ground, took out the rock sugar white fungus lotus seed soup in the insulated bag, and distributed it to six people, and then opened a carton box next to it, took out the ice pack from it, and took it to the table to open the ice bag.
The Häagen-Dazs wrapped in an ice pack blinded Song Yao's eyes! In the cold winter, the cat scoops out Häagen-Dazs with a small spoon in the warm dormitory, and slowly licks the delicious food on the spoon. Song Yao reached out to grab a cup of Häagen-Dazs first, but was knocked off by Chen Jingping. Song Yao's eyes seemed to be on fire, which was unbearable! But Zhao Lihong was unmoved: "The ice cream is not your share, you drink your rock sugar white fungus lotus seed soup, and go to the study room after drinking." ”
Song Yao stared at Su Yuhan's Häagen-Dazs paper cup, sent a few spoonfuls of white fungus lotus seed soup into her mouth, and hummed a few times: "Woo, after the exam, I will buy ten boxes of Häagen-Dazs and come back, and no one will give it to me, I will eat it slowly in the quilt by myself!" ”
Su Yuhan saw Song Yao's greedy eyes glowing, and she almost handed her Häagen-Dazs over, but was stopped by Chen Jingping's look, and the rest couldn't help laughing.
After dinner, Song Yao was blasted out by Chen Jingping to go to self-study. The others also dispersed and carried the table together to return it to the dormitory manager.
The next day, Chen Jingping saw that there was nothing to prepare for the school, so she decided to go home to accompany her parents for a while before going abroad, so that they would be happy and happy, and stay with Zhu Zixuan in Beijing for a few days after New Year's Day, and then set off from Beijing and flew directly to the United States.
At noon, Su Yuhan returned to the dormitory and saw Chen Jingping packing up her books, and there was a large suitcase with half of her clothes next to her. She asked curiously, "It's only the middle of January for the winter vacation, why did you start packing so early?" ”
"I booked a plane ticket to go home tomorrow and go home with my parents for a few days before going to the United States."
"Also, you have to spend the Spring Festival in the United States this year, and you can't accompany your parents, they will definitely miss you very much, so it's better to go back to accompany them first. If you are traveling from Beijing, will you not be able to go back to the dormitory this semester? ”
"I won't be back this semester, and I will come back at the end of next semester to participate in the graduation defense."
"I really can't bear you to go, we will definitely miss you very much."
"Me too, I was already thinking about you when I was packing my bags just now."
"Hmm. Me too, I can't bear to let you go now. What else needs to be packed? I'll help you. ”
"The clothes are almost packed, and there are still books and bedding left. I'm leaving tomorrow, and I'm going to stay one night tonight, so I can't pack my bedding for the time being, so I'll talk about it tomorrow. ”
"What, you're going to bring back the quilt and mattress with you?"
"yes, I want to leave the night. Otherwise, if the quilt is not left here for a long time, it will get damp and produce a peculiar smell, and it will not be able to be used again in the future. Take it home and wash it and dry it, and put it away. ”
"And where will you stay when you come back next year?"
"We'll talk about it then. Maybe squeeze in with any of you, or stay in a hotel outside for a few days. It's okay, it's just a few days. ”
Su Yuhan couldn't help but say: "I think you should not take the futon home, and you can't use these items at home for the time being." If you take the futon home, it will not be easy for you to come back next year to defend it. Everyone must have been very nervous in the days of the defense, and they couldn't sleep well. I don't think you're going to sleep with us. If you go to a hotel, it will be troublesome to go back and forth to get out of the school. Why don't you leave the futon here, and when you leave tomorrow, I'll take your sheets, quilt covers, and pillows to the laundry room and wash them and bring them to your cupboard. Now there is heating, the dormitory is dry, and the quilts and mattresses are fine. After the heating is turned off, I take your futon to the balcony to dry for a few days, and then put it in the cabinet, it will definitely be fine, and it will not smell. You can pack your clothes, shoes, and books with you, and then pack up your toiletries tomorrow. I'll help you pack your books, the books are too heavy, and you must find a consignment. This season is not the graduation season, there are no preferential activities, it is too expensive to find a courier company to send packages, you have to ask Honghong and Xiaolong to help you find a cheaper logistics company. ”
Chen Jingping actually had such thoughts in her heart, but she was worried that her roommates would be too troublesome. When she heard Su Yuhan say this, she naturally agreed, and hurriedly called Honghong to ask her to help send the package today. The two worked together to clean up Chen Jingping's textbooks, books and other items. When Yu Xiaolong walked into the 216 dormitory, he saw a large suitcase and three cardboard boxes of books. He picked them up one by one and tried them, and the result was exactly what he expected, and the pieces of luggage were heavier than the other. Yu Xiaolong told Chen Jingping that Debang Logistics can be much cheaper than express companies to take large items, but the speed is slower, but it will arrive within 10 days. If there is no such big requirement for time, don't let go of Debang. After Chen Jingping agreed, he packed the four pieces of luggage, moved them to the trolley he brought over, and sent them to the Debang logistics site outside the school for consignment.
At 10:30 a.m. the next day, Chen Jingping's online car arrived downstairs in the dormitory. Class leaders Lei Hao and Sui Ruobing Sui Ruobing brought more than 20 classmates to see off Chen Jingping, a member of the study committee, and Yu Xiaolong and Wu Zeyu also stood in the farewell crowd and watched silently. The six girls in dormitory 216 hugged each other tightly and wept silently, they cried hoarsely and couldn't bear to be separated. I don't know how long it took, Hu Haoyuan and Gao Chunbo left the crowd, walked over with red eyes, pulled Chen Jingping and hugged each other, and the other boys and girls in Class 3 also lined up to hug Chen Jingping respectively, crying to each other and saying cherish.
The special car took Chen Jingping away, and in the ice and snow behind her, there were a group of reluctant classmates and friends waving their hands and tears!
