Chapter 1: The First Sight of the Provincial City

Wang Zhuyun needs to take a bus to the dormitory of the provincial university to put his luggage.

Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling took another bus to find a hotel near the provincial university to stay, mainly because they should be able to enter the school dormitory two days before the start of school, and they don't need to carry their luggage from other places at that time.

Wang Zhuyun got on the bus and left, and Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling got on the bus with a flower cloth wrap and took the money to buy tickets.

In addition to the two-person ticket, the package for two people is supplemented with a luggage ticket.

"Go back, go back, don't stand here at the door!"

The conductor shouted as if he were catching flies and told the passengers to go backwards.

Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling walked back, and when they arrived at the back of the car, Lu Heling whispered to Ji Yuanhai: "I know this conductor, I used to sell tickets like this, and I still do it now." ”

Ji Yuanhai smiled: "Doesn't it feel very kind?" ”

Lu Heling smiled: "She is like this, who can still be kind?" ”

Ji Yuanhai could hear that Lu Heling had a sense of relief when he returned to the provincial capital.

Although there are no parents here, it is the place where she grew up after all.

Reaching out to hold Lu Heling's wrist, the two staggered on the bus, looking at the slowly receding scenery outside the window.

After a while, Ji Yuanhai felt the feeling of being stared at, and when he turned his head, it turned out to be an old man staring at the hands of the two of them, and pursed his lips disdainfully.

It's about feeling immoral, right?

Ji Yuanhai muttered a little in his heart, in this era, there are still such elderly people in the provincial capital.

Speaking of which, the elderly at this time were all people from the twenty or thirty years before the founding of the People's Republic of China, and it is not surprising that they have such a concept.

The bus staggered to the provincial university.

Because many students and teachers of the provincial university also lived during the holidays, the university door was also open, Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling stood at the door and looked at it, and stepped forward to ask the doorman.

The doorman's answer was the same as Ji Yuanhai's guess, and the university has not yet begun to arrange the enrollment of new students. Wait until the start of the arrangement, and then you can find a specific teacher to ask about things.

If you want to come to school in advance, you should be able to live in the dormitory two or three days in advance, but it is definitely impossible to come to school ten days in advance.

Don't live in the school, just go in and see the living environment, the learning environment, it's still okay.

Ji Yuanhai asked the doorman about the guest house and hotel near the school.

The doorman is very easy to talk to, and he knows a lot about the neighborhood, and he told Ji Yuanhai where it is expensive and cheap, where the service attitude is not good, and where he has lost things.

Ji Yuanhai thanked the doorman, and together with Lu Heling, he found the hotel with the package, and checked in according to the waiter's requirements.

The registration is detailed: where you came from, where you are going, and what you do......

If Ji Yuanhai does not have an admission letter and only runs around as a farmer, there is no legitimate reason, and all guest houses and hotels will not accept it.

There is a place to live, put down the package, and bring money, admission letters and other important things with them, Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling entered the provincial university and wandered around.

Entering the door is a statue, and a great man waves to greet the students.

Further inside, there is a flower bed.

Behind the flower beds is a tree-lined path, elegant and deep.

Table tennis tables, playgrounds, and basketball courts are all in sight.

And then there are the school buildings, which are old, decades old.

There are also brand new buildings that have only been built for a few years.

Until I saw a female statue holding a book, and the birds behind her spread their wings and flyed.

Ji Yuanhai couldn't help but smile.

"Yuan Hai, what are you laughing at?"

Lu Heling asked.

Ji Yuanhai smiled and said nothing, he just thought of some campus punchlines that he had heard before.

It's all too common for college students to make up distorted statues.

Similar to the "Knowledge Flying Dreams" statue with a bird while reading, it is generally distorted as "reading a bird is used".

Similar to the statue of "Aiming at the Universe with a Broad Horizon" with a globe while reading, it is generally distorted as "reading has a ball".

Ji Yuanhai feels that this point is interesting, mainly because it fits with memory, but now it is inconvenient to talk too much to Lu Heling.

After taking a turn in the university, it can be regarded as a walk at a glance, and it is necessary to be familiar with the campus environment after officially starting campus life.

Coming out of the campus of the provincial university, Wang Zhuyun was standing at the gate of the provincial university and waiting.

Seeing Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling coming out of the campus, Wang Zhuyun laughed: "You guys are going to the provincial university to see it?" Don't wait for me. ”

"The campus is almost the same, and it's the same when you look at it." Ji Yuanhai said, "Let's go to the exhibition hall today and ask about the flower show, right?" ”

Wang Zhuyun originally wanted someone to accompany him to spend time, but he didn't really want to visit the provincial university, but after listening to Ji Yuanhai's suggestion, he readily agreed.

The three of them went to the bus stop to look at several bus routes and determined that the three buses would go to the exhibition hall.

After waiting for more than half an hour, I finally waited for the No. 3 bus, and got on the bus to buy a ticket.

After a staggering half-hour drive, they arrived at the Provincial Exhibition Hall, and Ji Yuanhai, Lu Heling, and Wang Zhuyun asked the doorman, but the doorman didn't know directly; I asked someone again, and finally found a middle-aged man who seemed to know more about flower exhibitions.

"You want to see the flower show, you have to wait eight days, and then the flowers from our province and the flowers from several neighboring provinces will come."

"This leader," Ji Yuanhai asked with a smile, "That's the case, I'm also a flower lover myself, and I have grown a few pots of flowers, can I participate in this exhibition?" ”

The middle-aged man first corrected Ji Yuanhai's title: "Don't call me a leader, I'm also an errand runner, just call me comrade." ”

"Comrade, what is your surname?" Ji Yuanhai asked.

"Don't have your surname Niu." The middle-aged man said.

"As for wanting to participate in this exhibition...... Where exactly are you from, which unit? ”

Ji Yuanhai said with a smile: "Brother Niu, I just planted some flowers and plants personally, and I can't talk about any unit, I have to ask you to give me some guidance on this exhibition."

The middle-aged man surnamed Niu laughed when he heard this, obviously a little surprised by Ji Yuanhai's shout of "Brother Niu", and then said: "What you said is wrong, which factory do you work in?" Isn't that your unit? ”

"Brother Niu, I didn't work in the factory." Ji Yuanhai said.

The middle-aged man surnamed Niu frowned slightly, and his expression changed slightly: "Are you unemployed?" ”

"Okay, even if you are unemployed, you live in that place, and the street office in that place is your unit."

"If you feel that your flowers and plants are planted well, and you want to participate in the flower exhibition, give your flowers to the comrades of the street office; After the internal selection of your street office, take out a few pots of flowers, submit them to the district, and then strive for collective honor and so on. ”

"So, you get the idea, don't you?"

Ji Yuanhai nodded: "Brother Niu, I understand when you say that...... But I'm not a resident of the provincial town......"

Unemployed? Not a resident of a provincial town?

The middle-aged man surnamed Niu immediately changed color: "You are a blind stream!" Who let you run around! Who let you in? ”

"No, Brother Niu......" Ji Yuanhai said.

"Don't call me Brother Niu, I don't know you!" The middle-aged man surnamed Niu shouted.

Several people in the exhibition hall also walked over quickly: "Old Niu, what's the matter?" ”

Ji Yuanhai hurriedly took out the admission notice: "Brother Niu, don't worry, I'm a college student at a provincial university, and the three of us are all college students!" Not a blind stream! ”

The middle-aged man surnamed Niu suddenly smiled a little embarrassedly: "So that's what happened!" I said that the three of you are all studying, and it turns out that you are college students at the provincial university, so this matter is a misunderstanding! ”

explained with a smile to several other people: "These three college students want to ask about the flower exhibition, but I misunderstood; Now that the misunderstanding has been solved, it's okay, you guys are busy with your business. ”

Not only did those people not leave, but they all came over, and they also talked about help, and they were very enthusiastic.

In their eyes, college students are like some rare animals.

Ji Yuanhai opened his mouth and shouted brother, got to know everyone in the exhibition hall, and told him about his situation.

I just went to college, I don't have a unit, and I want to take flowers and plants to participate in a flower exhibition.

The middle-aged man surnamed Niu said with a smile: "Xiao Ji, did you participate in the flower exhibition to gain fame?" If you want to get fame, take the flowers you planted, go back to the provincial university to talk to the relevant teachers, and then appear on the exhibition table as the exhibition flowers sent by the provincial university. ”

"Of course, there are many difficulties in this, first of all, you may not be able to find relevant teachers, secondly, you may not be able to pass the teacher's permission, and secondly, your flowers may not pass the internal selection of provincial universities."

"Finally, it is estimated that the provincial university will send it to the flower show has also been determined, and you are too late now."

Hearing this, Wang Zhuyun and Lu Heling were a little frustrated.

Coming to the provincial capital so many days in advance, it turned out that it had no effect, and the time was already stable......

This middle-aged man surnamed Niu said so much, and Ji Yuanhai could also hear it, which can be regarded as helping him analyze it with his heart.

His identity as a college student should also play a certain role.

Of course, the average person wouldn't help analyze it.

If Ji Yuanhai was just a rural member, he would have been kicked out just now, or he would have been "caught blind".

With an understanding of the times, it is possible to come to the provincial capital and directly want to make a fortune and do business, but if the identity has always been a rural member, eating, drinking, lazing and sleeping are all restricted, which is the reality of today.

"Brother Niu, what you said has really helped me a lot."

Ji Yuanhai said: "If I don't seek fame, but just want to sell the flowers I planted in exchange for some tuition, is there a way?" ”

The middle-aged man surnamed Niu scratched his face: "This is ...... If you ask me, I shouldn't actually say it. ”

"I just heard that there seems to be such a thing, that is, a flower exhibition, all units are in the exhibition hall, but the provincial capital sells flowers and plants, and I am ready to take this opportunity to buy some flowers, grasses, insects, fish and the like."

Speaking of this, he pointed outward: "Xiao Ji, have you seen the road next to the exhibition hall?" ”

Ji Yuanhai nodded, already understanding what Brother Niu was going to give him.

"On that day, there were a lot of stalls on both sides of the road selling all kinds of flowers, plants, insects, fish and playthings." The middle-aged man surnamed Niu said, "On that day, you bring your own flowers and find a place along the road, buy it and leave, and make sure it's okay." ”

Having said that, Brother Niu, as a person he just met, has obviously done his best with enthusiasm and kindness.

Ji Yuanhai solemnly thanked him: "Thank you for your advice, Brother Niu, if it weren't for you, my tuition would be lost!" ”

I also hurriedly thanked several other people in the exhibition hall and thanked them for their enthusiastic answers.

Lu Heling and Wang Zhuyun also hurriedly called "brother" and hurriedly thanked them.

Brother Niu and the others smiled and told them not to be polite.

The college students of the provincial university have a bright future in the future, they are good-looking, polite and polite, and they are willing to say a few more words.

If it's a jobless vagrant or a blind stream, then I'm sorry and get out.

Leaving the exhibition hall, Ji Yuanhai, Lu Heling, and Wang Zhuyun looked at each other and smiled.

"The identity of our college students is really useful, they are quite willing to talk more." Lu Heling said.

Wang Zhuyun said: "There is no way out of the mountains and rivers, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village. ”

"I thought that Brother Niu said so much just now, and he had to find the street office, and he wanted to find a provincial university, and he couldn't participate in the exhibition without a unit, and then there was no drama at all."

"I didn't expect there to be a way in the end."

"Now our question is how to prepare a few pots of flowers to sell."

After speaking, Wang Zhuyun looked at Ji Yuanhai: "You didn't bring flowers either, how can you sell flowers next?" ”

Ji Yuanhai smiled: "Who said I didn't bring flowers?" ”

"Don't worry, in eight days, I'll have all the flowers ready......

Wang Zhuyun was surprised: "Are you so powerful?" Lu Heling, do you feel as if he is bragging? ”

Lu Heling smiled softly: "I don't feel like he's bragging, I believe him." ”

Wang Zhuyun suddenly felt frustrated: "Count me asking the wrong person!" Can you two say different things? ”

Ji Yuanhai said: "The only problem is that these flowers have to find a place to store them, and it seems that they have to rent a house." ”

"It's been a busy time...... Buy flower pots, adjust flower soil, plant flowers and grass, rent a house ......"

Starting tomorrow, Ji Yuanhai will have to help Lu Heling sort out her parents' inheritance and the real relatives.

Before school started, there was a lot of this.

Hearing what Ji Yuanhai said so much, Wang Zhuyun not only didn't feel troublesome, but became interested.

"Great, I don't have anything to do before I start school!"

Ji Yuanhai smiled: "You have this time, isn't it good to study more?" ”

Wang Zhuyun snorted: "Anyway, I'm not too bad, and I will have everything in the distribution unit in the future." ”

"Aren't you afraid that when the time comes, you will be assigned a particularly bad unit?" Ji Yuanhai said.

Seeing that Wang Zhuyun still didn't care, Ji Yuanhai smiled again: "I really feel that you still need to learn a little more knowledge to be prepared." ”

Wang Zhuyun saw that he was serious, and he also became serious: "What is the truth in what you say?" ”

"The rural production team has already started the experiment, and it seems that each family will have to farm their own land and eat their own. Mr. Wang, do you know what this means? Ji Yuanhai asked.

Wang Zhuyun looked at him suspiciously: "What does it mean?" ”

"It means that the rural collectives are unshackling and turning into a surging crowd."

This means that other collectives are not immutable; The so-called distribution unit and iron rice bowl may also be ......the same," Ji Yuanhai said, "It's really that far, is the knowledge you have now really enough?" You're not a top talent, can you still eat enough? ”

"What's more, your family has a special reason, and you have less contact with your family after you are ready to work."

"Who will help you then?"

Ji Yuanhai's words were a little too forward-looking, so that they seemed a bit sensational.

After Wang Zhuyun listened, he did not immediately express his position.

After a while, he forced a smile: "What do you want to do so much?" It's not too late to talk about the future. ”

Ji Yuanhai didn't say anything more, and said with a smile: "It's not wrong for you to think like this. ”

After that, the three of them did not take the bus again, but slowly walked back from the exhibition hall towards the provincial university.

Wang Zhuyun is still relatively familiar with the general location of the provincial capital, Lu Heling is more familiar than her, led by the two of them, and Ji Yuanhai is not afraid of getting lost.

After walking for more than an hour, I saw a restaurant, and the three of them had dinner together, and then walked around to the provincial university.

After walking for more than an hour, Wang Zhuyun rubbed his leg and shouted that it was sore.

It's never been a long walk in a row.

Fortunately, the provincial university is not far away.

When he arrived at the stop sign outside the provincial university, Wang Zhuyun waited for the bus and left in a hurry, saying that he wanted to rest for a night and go shopping again tomorrow.

After returning to the dormitory of the provincial university, Wang Zhuyun was a little angry.

"Ji Yuanhai, this profiteer, is scaring me, right? must be in front of his daughter-in-law, showing that he is powerful! ”

"If you ask me to learn knowledge, I'll learn? I don't want to learn! ”

Wang Zhuyun muttered to himself, and after washing, he couldn't help but think of Ji Yuanhai's words again, and took out the book and looked at it twice.

I happened to be very tired, muttering "profiteer", and unconsciously fell asleep holding the book, and there was a little bit of gnashing of teeth in my sleep.

After Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling returned to the hotel, they brought hot water to soak their feet to relieve the fatigue of the day.

After resting for a while, Lu Heling wanted to read a book for a while.

Ji Yuanhai took out the pig-riding doll that Hu Hongwei gave him yesterday from the package, played with it carefully and put it back.

Before he knew it, more than twenty minutes had passed, and Ji Yuanhai wanted to talk to Lu Heling, only to turn his head and see that Lu Heling had fallen asleep reading a book.

Ji Yuanhai smiled and took out another package of things from the package.

Tightly wrapped Song Mei and Longchang Su branches and leaves.

Since he knew that he was going to come to the provincial capital to participate in the flower show, of course Ji Yuanhai couldn't prepare nothing. These branches and leaves follow the Era Sea, and of course, they have always maintained their vitality, and there is no possibility of decay.

Ji Yuanhai took the face plate and took the clear water back, and directly put all these branches and leaves in the water.

Silent overnight, quietly growing.

The next morning, there were already more than a dozen qualified orchid seedlings in the basin, just waiting to be transplanted into the pot to grow strongly.
