There are a lot of things to do on the first day of school.

When Ji Yuanhai came out of the dormitory, it was already noon.

There were five people in the dormitory.

There is an older man named Bai Chengzhi, who already looks nearly thirty, with a scruffy beard and a frosty face, and he knows that he has suffered a lot at a glance.

There is a young man named Zhou Heng, whose face is white and tender, and there is no trace of labor; Although the family may be better off than the ordinary workers and peasants, they talk with a smile and have nothing else to think about.

When I asked him about his age, he was only seventeen years old this year.

Bai Chengzhi and Zhou Heng stand together, not like the freshmen of the Department of Political Science and Law this year, but more like a father and son.

Among the five people, the rest are Ji Yuanhai and the other two roommates, who also know each other.

Both of them are also from the Department of Political Science and Law, one is called Zhao Bo and the other is Sun Limin.

At present, all five of them have just met, and they haven't said much except for introducing each other's names and ages.

The remaining three roommates seem to come in the afternoon.

Ji Yuanhai felt that the time was almost up, and asked Zhou Heng about the time.

Zhou Heng raised his wrist and looked at his watch and said to him.

Only then did Ji Yuanhai feel that it was really necessary for him to buy a watch now - before in Xiaoshantun and Qingshan County, there was no need to accurately time, and he could basically find a place to see the time by train or visit the provincial capital, and Wang Zhuyun was also by his side.

From today onwards, I have to go to class every day, and sometimes I have to go back and forth between the school and the courtyard, and these times are much more accurate, and I can't study and arrange them at will.

Thinking so along the way, Ji Yuanhai arrived at the door of the cafeteria.

Just as he was about to wait for Lu Heling, his eyes swept and he saw Lu Heling and Wang Zhuyun talking to a twenty-seven or eight-year-old man not far away.

Ji Yuanhai is a little strange: the two of them are not the kind of people who like to talk to strangers, right?

Walking over, Ji Yuanhai heard the man say something "Mother Ye is in the spirit of the sky" and "smiling......

Wang Zhuyun then looked at Lu Heling: "So, he is really your relative?" ”

Lu Heling was about to speak, when she saw Ji Yuanhai coming over, her eyes suddenly lit up: "Yuanhai, come quickly!" ”

After Ji Yuanhai passed, Lu Heling said to the man, "Are you Huo Lianshi?" ”

The man nodded hurriedly: "Is it Mother Ye's daughter Lu Heling?" I'm talking about Mother Ye, I'm talking about Teacher Ye Mei. ”

"It's me," Lu Heling said, "I really didn't expect to see you at the Provincial University, Huo Lianshi." ”

"I didn't expect to see Mother Ye's daughter again." Huo Lianshi said.

Lu Heling officially introduced Ji Yuanhai: "Yuanhai, let me introduce you, this is a former student of my mother, Huo Lianshi." ”

Ji Yuanhai looked at this twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old man: he was Huo Lianshi.

Lu Chengshan and Ye Mei are husband and wife, and the last person to entrust part of the property is Ye Mei's student Huo Lianshi and Ye Mei's younger brother Ye Shujun.

Lu Heling introduced Huo Lianshi again: "Huo Lianshi, this is my lover Ji Yuanhai. ”

Huo Lianshi and Ji Yuanhai reached out and shook their hands, and made a meeting etiquette.

Then Huo Lianshi said: "It's not convenient to talk here, let's go to the cafeteria and find a place to talk slowly, right?" ”

Lu Heling and Wang Zhuyun both looked at Ji Yuanhai.

Ji Yuanhai nodded slightly: "Okay, let's go to the cafeteria and talk slowly." ”

Huo Lianshi was slightly surprised, a little unexpected.

Mother Ye's daughter, do you listen to his lover so much?

A group of four people arrived at the cafeteria, Huo Lianshi, as a sophomore student, was of course familiar with the cafeteria, and introduced them to some tastes that were better, and some needed attention, it was best not to spend money on sin.

The meal was prepared with a rice jar and a lunch box, and the four of them sat in a corner of the cafeteria.

But no one ate, mainly talking.

"I'd like to apologize first, just now in order to inquire about the situation, I said that Lu Heling is my relative......" Huo Lianshi said, "It's a bit reckless to speak." ”

"That's okay." Lu Heling said, and introduced to Ji Yuanhai again, "Huo Lianshi used to be my mother's student, and she used to call my mother 'Mother Ye', and she has been to my house many times, and I don't feel anything if she is a relative." ”

"When I first started, I was honest and ignorant, so Mother Ye worried a lot about me." Huo Lianshi said sadly, "Later, I realized Mother Ye's hard work, so I was willing to listen to her study hard, but it's a pity that I encountered these things......"

"Knowing the bad news of Mother Ye last year, I almost had no way to study."

"It's still Hongyi who persuaded me, if Mother Ye has a spirit in the sky, she will be sad and sad to see me like this; I suddenly realized that I worked hard, and my results in the exam were much better than expected, and I went to a provincial university. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Heling is also inevitably sad.

The death of her parents was getting farther and farther away, and she had cried again and again, and now she was finally sad in her heart, and not cry at the mention of it.

In addition to being sad, Lu Heling asked Huo Lianshi: "Hongyi, is your object?" ”

"Well, the red coat is my object." Huo Lianshi said, "She and I were dependent on each other when we were children, and then we got separated, and we only met again a few years ago. ”

"She had a crush on me, and I was willing to take care of her, so we got together."

"Aren't you married?" Lu Heling asked again.

"Not really." Huo Lianshi said, "I don't have any opinion, she has been wandering a lot on the rivers and lakes, and when it comes to getting married, she is still a little unsettled." ”

Wandering on the rivers and lakes...... Why doesn't that sound normal?

In previous years, there were "comrades" everywhere, either workers and peasants, or clerks, or temporary workers, ordinary residents.

What kind of rivers and lakes are wandering, aren't they people who wander the streets all day long, or even local ruffians? As a student of the provincial university, is Huo Lianshi's object actually such a girl?

Ji Yuanhai thought in his heart, and naturally he didn't say it, but just listened to Lu Heling and Huo Lianshi reminiscing.

Huo Lianshi talked about the past with Lu Heling's mother Ye Mei, saying that she was ignorant in the past, and it was Ye Mei who rescued him back and embarked on the right path; Now insisting on learning is all Ye Mei's advice and teachings.

Lu Heling talked about what happened after going to the countryside.

Only then did Huo Lianshi know that Ji Yuanhai did not come to send Lu Heling to school, but came to the provincial university with Lu Heling, and his results in the exam were better.

"It's even better that way...... Mother Ye can also rest assured......"

Speaking of this, Huo Lianshi glanced at Wang Zhuyun and asked Lu Heling, "Have you been to your uncle's house?" ”

Wang Zhuyun was a little uncomfortable at this glance - how do you seem to say, I'm an outsider, it's best to avoid me in this matter?

Speaking of this, Lu Heling couldn't help frowning again.

When I went to my uncle's house, it was really not very pleasant.

Seeing Lu Heling's expression, Huo Lianshi was also surprised: "What's the matter?" ”

Ji Yuanhai said the situation succinctly: Lu Heling's uncle was unwilling to return the inheritance, and it took a lot of trouble to bring the inheritance back.

Huo Lianshi's face turned pale, slapped the table hard, and stood up: "I have to settle accounts with them!" ”

At this moment, Ji Yuanhai, Lu Heling, and Wang Zhuyun didn't expect it.

When many people in the cafeteria heard the voice, they all turned their faces to look sideways.

Ji Yuanhai asked Huo Lianshi to sit down and talk, don't be in a hurry; Besides, these things are already back, so there's no need to be so angry.

After Huo Lianshi sat down, she gritted her teeth with a calm face and said, "You don't know! ”

"At the beginning, Ye's mother divided two copies, a small suitcase for me, and a large wooden box for Ye Shujun, which means that no matter what, she must give her daughter a guarantee in the future."

"Later, Ye Shujun and his wife squeezed me, saying that I had many friends in the past, and that I used to be petty thieves, which means that I would sell the contents of that small suitcase for money to eat, drink and have fun."

"In order to prove my innocence, and considering that Ye Shujun is Lu Heling's uncle, he is your relative anyway, and he should be more reliable than me, so I handed over the small suitcase to their family."

"I never thought of it—it turns out that they still have such selfish intentions."

"This is not the end of this matter, I must settle accounts with their family! forced me to disobey Mother Ye's advice, but they actually planned to do so! ”

His anger and true temperament surprised Ji Yuanhai, Lu Heling, and Wang Zhuyun again.

Lu Heling's mother, Ye Mei, is obviously not just a verbal "Mother Ye" to Huo Lianshi, but also a mother in her heart, and her affection is no less than that of her biological mother and son.

"In this matter, I feel that I still have to listen to Heling."

Ji Yuanhai said: "We have taken the inheritance back, and He Ling and her uncle's family have already taken care of everything. ”

"If you settle accounts again, make trouble again, if Lotus Ling feels bad, then it's best not to do it."

After Huo Lianshi heard this, she couldn't help but look at Lu Heling: "I want to help you breathe, and I also want to help Mother Ye breathe, and I also want to vent myself...... Do you think it's okay? ”

Lu Heling hesitated for a moment and shook her head slightly: "I still don't want to." ”

Huo Lianshi was suddenly disappointed: "This ...... Just let them go? ”

"The inheritance has been taken back, and I will not have any dealings with his family in the future." Lu Heling said softly, "I feel that this is enough." ”

The relationship between the uncle and his mother and the relationship with Lu Heling cannot be considered false.

It's just being too greedy that hurts these feelings.

Lu Heling couldn't bear to make trouble anymore, the more troublesome she became, the more entangled and uncomfortable she became, it was better not to see her in the future.

After Huo Lianshi heard this, she thought to herself: "Mother Ye's daughter is too kind, this kind of thing has to happen to me, I have to take revenge." ”

Since she doesn't want to entangle too much with her uncle's family, then I'll pick out the banner and just let me breathe a sigh quietly.

When I was free, I told Hongyi to ask her to make trouble for Ye Shujun's family for a few days and let out a bad breath.

Now that he thinks about it, Huo Lianshi is still furious - Ye Shujun and his wife scolded him for petty theft, but what made him most angry was the suspicion that he was greedy for Ye's mother's property.

As a result, these two people became greedy and did not behave.

Finally calmed down the ups and downs in her heart, Huo Lianshi said to Lu Heling: "Since you said so, I will respect your thoughts, and I will no longer go to their family in your name and in the name of Mother Ye, and I will no longer let his family make trouble again." ”

Lu Heling couldn't hear the meaning, and nodded in agreement.

Ji Yuanhai glanced at Huo Lianshi with a smile - under normal circumstances, if you don't take care of Ye Shujun's house, do you still need to say so many preconditions?

How does it sound like "don't go to trouble in the name of Lu Heling and Ye Mei", anything else is fine?

Huo Lianshi and Ji Yuanhai glanced at each other, and they were also surprised in their hearts.

Mother Ye's son-in-law, is he so smart and sensitive? How does it look like you've guessed what I'm thinking?

If he is really so powerful, Mother Ye's daughter will not only have my protection, but he can also protect her, and Mother Ye will be even more able to look down on Jiuquan.

While talking, the four of them had lunch, and Huo Lianshi told them the address of his dormitory and off-campus residence.

The off-campus address is located in a place next to the Provincial Welfare Institute.

Speaking of which, this is also the origin of Huo Lianshi's acquaintance with Ye Mei - when he was a child, like Hongyi, he was a petty thief.

Later, he was arrested and sent to a welfare home, and arranged to go to school, and then met Ye Mei; And Hongyi was not arrested, for so many years, he has been adrift, because he has been mixed with street performers, so he has a name called "Little Red Yi".

These things do sound poignant.

After eating a meal, because of Huo Lianshi's respect and closeness to Ye Mei, as well as her kindness to Lu Heling and Ji Yuanhai, Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling both called Huo Lianshi "Brother Huo", and Huo Lianshi also called them "Yuan Hai" and "Heling".

As for Wang Zhuyun, he didn't participate much on the side; Huo Lianshi is also very "clear", feeling that she is an outsider, just a few polite words to her, not very close.

After Huo Lianshi left, Wang Zhuyun muttered two sentences in his mouth, expressing his dissatisfaction.

Lu Heling would just say a few words to her.

"Tomorrow we will officially go to the classroom to gather, and then there will be military training."

Ji Yuanhai said: "Let's buy two watches in the afternoon, and the class time in the future must be accurate and not delayed, and the watch has to be bought." ”

Lu Heling also nodded in agreement: she herself is not a particularly active temperament, and if she always chases her roommate to ask for the time, she is embarrassed and indeed inconvenient.

In the afternoon, Ji Yuanhai, Lu Heling, and Wang Zhuyun went to the store and bought a men's watch and a women's watch, spending more than 200 yuan.

After that, Wang Zhuyun also said goodbye to them reluctantly - she will start school next, study hard every day, and it is impossible to run out to play leisurely.

But it's been a long time since we can play together.

After that, Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling also went around the campus again to familiarize themselves with the location of the classroom, and then said goodbye after dinner.

The two of them will go back to their dormitories next, and tomorrow they will go to their respective departments for classes.

Ji Yuanhai returned to the dormitory, and the other seven roommates had arrived.

Bai Chengzhi, who looks old, Zhou Heng, who is only seventeen years old, as well as Zhao Bo and Sun Limin.

The other three are named Yang Jianguo, one is Qian Tai, and one has the same surname as Zhao Bo, called Zhao Youtian.

The eight people are all in the same class of the Department of Political Science and Law, and there is a slight difference in their accents.

For example, Zhou Heng, Sun Limin, and Yang Jianguo have typical provincial accents, and Bai Chengzhi, Zhao Bo, and Qian Tai all have other local accents, which are different from provincial capitals.

Zhao Youtian is obviously a native dialect, and he speaks unconsciously with "me", "my family" and "my father......

Ji Yuanhai can speak Mandarin and the local accent of Qingshan County.

All in all, there is no big communication barrier.

Now it is not popular to enter the dormitory to worship the handles, sort and so on, and the seven students all cherish the hard-won opportunity to study in the university, and they all said that they must study hard.

Zhou Heng, the youngest, said with a serious face, "During college, I will never fall in love or watch TV movies!" Be sure to study hard and become a useful person in the future! ”

Zhao Youtian said on the side: "I haven't watched TV, I've only watched movies...... Anyway, I am also studying seriously, and I must not be left behind. ”

Bai Chengzhi, Sun Limin, Yang Jianguo, Qian Tai, and Zhao Bo also nodded in agreement, or expressed their intention to study hard.

Ji Yuanhai had only one feeling in his heart: It's a real volume.

Fortunately, I learned it in advance, otherwise I would not have been able to roll you.

Today's students are particularly motivated to take the initiative to accept knowledge and try to change their destiny - it is no wonder that those who can study and be admitted to provincial universities also have a high level of learning consciousness.

Especially for college students, the future is open and clear, and if you work hard, you will get something, and there is no doubt that the motivation is sufficient.

With such a group of good students who study hard, without those miscellaneous things, Ji Yuanhai can also concentrate on studying.

At about six o'clock in the evening, the counselor of this class came to the dormitory, clicked his name, once again confirmed that there was no problem with the registration of new students, and once again told Ji Yuanhai and the eight people about the next arrangements.

That is, tomorrow morning at eight o'clock in the classroom to gather for roll call, further arrangements, and wait for the follow-up.

"Counselor...... When will the books be sent? Zhao Youtian asked, "I want to study as soon as possible." ”

"Don't be in a hurry to study, you have to train first." The counselor said, "In the next month, no textbooks will be distributed, and they will be mainly used for military training." ”

Zhao Youtian was disappointed, but he couldn't wait to get into the study.

Zhou Heng was very interested: "Counselor teacher, can't we touch the gun and shoot targets in our military training?" ”

"It should be possible, but it will depend on the specific arrangements at that time." The counselor didn't say all the words, even so, Zhou Heng and the others were interested.

Men like dangerous weapons, as if it were a kind of nature, and they want to touch them and try them.

Including Ji Yuanhai, he is not interested in military training, and if he wants to play gun shooting, he will also feel very interesting.

The counselor reminds them to be on time for class tomorrow.

Also, in the future, a dormitory director will be elected in the dormitory for the next two days, and he will be responsible for cleaning up and cleaning up on duty.

After explaining the things that need to be paid attention to in life, the counselor went to the next dormitory to be busy.

Everyone in the dormitory said a word, and they didn't get bored when they talked, and before they knew it, it was time to go to bed.
