Hu Kehao rummaged through the cabinets at home, packed his luggage, and packed together the items that carried his childhood memories, and brought them to U City to treasure. His mother packed a large bag of sheets, bedding, and winter clothes. Hu Kehao said that he is now working, not to study, so he doesn't need to bring these things, and he can buy them in U City. His father, Hu Wenrui, took out 2,000 yuan from his bag and gave it to him: "You go to work in U City, you need money for everything, you haven't paid your salary yet, you can accept this money." This is the last time I'll give you money, and when you get paid in the future, I won't care about you. ”

"Dad, you've been reading for me for so long, and I'm now able to support myself, that's enough, how can I ask for your money again?" Hu Kehao said.

Hu Wenrui stuffed the money into his pocket and said, "Don't be so high-minded, you will have more places to use the money in the future, and I won't be able to pay for your house in the future." ”

Hu Mu was still there: "When you arrive in U City, you have to take care of yourself, and you have to learn to cook by yourself." Hu Kehao saw that his mother was much older than before, and he thought in his heart: Mother has worked hard all her life in the land, and it is time to enjoy the blessings, so he should quickly earn more money and bring his parents to the city. Little did he know that his parents had become accustomed to life in the countryside. The golden nest and silver nest are not as good as your own kennel, and if you bring them to the city, they may not be adapted.

Hu Kehao finished the things he thought were important, packed a big suitcase, and had to carry a bag in his hand. He saw a yellowed family photo hanging on the wall of a yellowed photo he had taken with his parents on the street as a child. Hu Kehao wanted to take the photo away, but his mother had always cherished the photo, and he had no idea of hitting it.

Hu Kehao is leaving, leaving the small world of Huaishu Village, a place where he has lived for more than 20 years, and starting a new life. He left home this time differently, he used to go to study, now he goes to work, and he goes to work as a counselor in a college. He wondered if a counselor was a teacher. If you don't teach, are you considered a teacher? If you are not a teacher, what is your identity in college? Anyway, he has been upgraded now, his "forced qualification" has improved, and he is no longer a young student, the sacred hall of U City Polytechnic University is waiting for him, and the students are looking forward to him with a pair of eyes.

The mother silently wiped her tears, as if Hu Kehao would never come back, or she was happy that he had grown up and rushed into society: his son had finally grown up! Finally jumped out of the "farm gate".

"Mom, what are you crying about? I can come back to see you on vacation, U City is not far from here, you can also come to the city to play. Hu Kehao also felt a sour feeling in his heart, and he was still a little attached to this family. After I worked, I said that teachers had winter and summer vacations, and they had a lot of time, but they were actually very busy.

Hu Wenrui carried his son's luggage to the yard, the road was bumpy, and the suitcase could not be dragged away, so he pushed out the family's chicken cart and put the boxes and bags on it. This chicken bus has only one wheel, which is perfect for walking on mountain trails. It is said that the wooden ox and flowing horse invented by Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms period were not so magical, and were essentially a kind of chicken cart. Hu Wenrui stretched out his calloused hands to push the chicken bus, and Hu Kehao quickly grabbed it and pushed the chicken bus onto the road.

They waited on the highway for more than half an hour, and when the shuttle bus came, Hu Kehao loaded his luggage into the car, said goodbye to his parents, and came to U City. I took a taxi again, went to U City University of Technology, and moved my luggage into the single dormitory divided by the school. This dormitory is a student dormitory, very simple, a shelf bed, an old-fashioned wardrobe, a table and chairs, a stove, a refrigerator, and a water heater for bathing, and that's it. These things are much better than when he was studying, and they are enough for Hu Kehao to eat and drink in them.

After settling down, Hu Kehao went to the store to buy some daily necessities, pots and pans, vegetables, fruits, grains and meats, ate in the canteen at night, and slept well. I got up early the next day, shaved my beard, cleaned up, put on a white short-sleeved shirt, and went to the school for a meeting.

When it comes to the day of new students' registration, parents from all over the world have brought their children to school. U City Polytechnic University opened its arms like a loving mother to welcome children from all over the country, and huge banners hung all over the school: "Welcome new students!" "Some of the parents who accompanied their children to report came in luxury cars, and some came with sweaty hands and shoulders. Hu Kehao knows that different family backgrounds and the gap between rich and poor have been revealed. For children from poor families, from the moment they step into college, the starting point is already behind. After a few years of struggle, they find that they have just reached the starting point of someone else's life.

All functional departments of the school, including the Finance Office, the Student Affairs Office, the Organization Department, the Academic Affairs Office, and the secondary colleges, all gathered in the school square to provide one-stop service for students to register. For students, one of the most critical aspects is to pay tuition fees at the Finance Office. The children of rich families swipe their cards, enter the password, and they are done. Children from poor families who cannot afford to pay tuition fees can take the green channel and apply for national student loans. When they filled in the relevant information and procedures for student loans, they were already seen by other students. Their first impression of their classmates is that their families are poor, and they will study for four years with this label on their backs. When his classmates saw him later, maybe he only had a box of white rice and a vegetarian dish in his lunch box, and then they thought of the first day he went to school to apply for a student loan.

The deputy secretaries of the party committees, counselors, and seniors of the secondary colleges warmly welcomed the new students and patiently answered various questions for them. Every time a student registers, they put a checkmark at the back of the roster. Slowly, the hook was almost full, and only two people were left who had not yet reported for duty. The annual enrollment rate cannot be 100%, and there are always a very small number of students who do not come. They may still be on the way, or they may have to retake the college entrance examination because they did not get into the ideal university. They continue to wait, continue to wait...... The two students still didn't come, and they finally put the stall away.

Hu Kehao is a tutor majoring in applied physics at U City Polytechnic University. He studied theoretical physics as an undergraduate, and now he has become a tutor in applied physics, which is still his old job, but he is finally getting closer to the fireworks of the world. On the last day of the new students' registration, Hu Kehao must make sure that nothing happens. In the evening, he came to Building 1 of the Applied Physics Male Dormitory, and just when he arrived at the door, a student asked, "Hello, classmate!" What major are you? ”

Hu Kehao is too young, this classmate mistakenly thinks he is a student, he will be wrong, so that he can get closer to the student, mingle with them, and maybe become their friend, he said: "I am an applied physics major." ”

"Military training is going to be tomorrow, get ready!" The student said.

"Rest early, don't talk too long at night!" Hu Kehao said.

Another classmate in the dormitory brought a specialty from his hometown and invited Hu Kehao to eat it, but he couldn't shirk it, so he had to taste a piece. Although they are boys, they can make the bed and fold the quilt upside down. One student exclaimed, "My bed is half empty, what should I do?" ”

Hu Kehao showed him, and he didn't get it right. Hu Kehao personally demonstrated, put the cotton wool into the quilt cover, the four corners of the cotton wool were aligned with the four corners of the quilt cover, and then he grabbed the two corners, asked the student to grab the other two corners, and shook it a few times, and the cotton wool and the quilt cover were tightly together.

"Classmate, you're amazing!" The student said.

"You haven't had a quilt at home? Did your mother pretend to you? You need to learn it quickly. During military training, the instructor will also teach you to fold the quilt into tofu blocks! Hu Kehao said.

The student felt very embarrassed, and he seemed to think of another question, and asked: "Classmate, although the cotton wool is put into the quilt cover, but there is no thread to sew them up, will the cotton wool be rolled up in the future?" ”

"Probably not, there's a lot of friction between them...... Besides, you can tidy up the quilt often. Hu Kehao said.

"Hello! Mr. Hu! Welcome to inspect the work! A student who came in from the outside said loudly. Only then did the classmates in the dormitory discover that Hu Kehao was their counselor. Hu Kehao had some more chores with them, fearing that they would be restrained and affect their rest, so he left the dormitory in Building 1.
