Chapter 21 An encounter at Peking University!

"What are you doing?"

Looking at the densely packed notes on Li Changhe's desk, Zhu Lin was a little surprised because she found that what was written on them was too detailed.

According to what Li Changhe said before, he had already mastered this knowledge.

"I'm going to write a handout for my eldest sister and then go to Heijiang Province to give it to her and visit her while I'm there."

"My dad said this morning that the country is pushing for the resumption of the college entrance examination!"

Li Changhe explained to Zhu Lin.

Zhu Lin nodded: "My dad also said that last night, and he also said that you have good taste!"

"That's right, don't you see whose daughter she is?"

Li Changhe stuttered and almost said the word "son-in-law".

Fortunately, he braked in time and didn't say the last word.

However, Zhu Lin heard everything clearly at this time. He looked at Li Changhe with interest and asked with a smile, "What do you want to say?"

"Nothing, let's go to the Summer Palace!"

Li Changhe laughed it off and walked out.

He didn't see the hint of disappointment that flashed across Zhu Lin's eyes.

When they got downstairs, Li Changhe didn't have a bicycle, so he naturally rode Zhu Lin's ladies' bicycle.

In the past, Zhu Lin didn't care much about the looks of passers-by in the yard, but after what Liu Shuwan said last night, she felt inexplicably uncomfortable today.

I always feel that the people I meet along the way seem to be looking at them jokingly.

After leaving the family compound, the two rode their bicycles north along Baiyi Road, passed Renmin University, and then walked all the way to Haidian Road.

Then walk west and the South Gate of Peking University is on the north side of the road.

The two men rode forward for a while, and Li Changhe saw someone selling popsicles on the roadside, so he stopped the bike.

"Let's buy two popsicles!"

Although it was evening, the weather was still a bit hot, especially for Li Changhe who was riding a bicycle.

Because the famous ice cellar in Haidian is not far away, there are quite a lot of old ladies selling popsicles along the way.

"Okay, but I'll buy it this time!"

Zhu Lin didn't want Li Changhe to pay all the time, so he got out of the car and paid on his own initiative.

Li Changhe didn't object since he was planning to eat out that night anyway.

Looking at Zhu Lin choosing popsicles, Li Changhe couldn't help but sigh.

Come to think of it, this era is still good. The girls have such positive values. Women hold up half the sky!

When Li Changhe was pushing his bicycle and waiting on the roadside, a young man suddenly walked over.

"Hello, comrade, can I ask for directions?"

The young man in green military uniform looked dusty and his voice was strange, a bit like a southern accent, but not exactly the same.

"No problem, where are you going?"

Of course Li Changhe didn't mind and looked at the other person.

The other person was not tall, about 1.6 meters, not much taller than Zhu Lin, with a square face and a smile on his face.

"I want to go to Peking University, but I don't know which intersection it is!"

The other party was a little reserved and asked softly.

Li Changhe understood the other party's problem. In this era, there are many small alleys along the way. Unless you happen to walk to the main entrance of Peking University, you may not be sure.

"The road we are on now is called Haidian Road, which runs east-west. We are now at a corner of Peking University, next to the Wanquan River."

"Walk east from here for about a few hundred meters and you will reach the south gate of Peking University!"

"But if you are from outside the city and want to see the main entrance of Peking University, that is the West Gate. You have to walk west from here for a few dozen meters, and then go north, about a thousand meters."

As Li Changhe was talking, he saw the other party's confused look and suddenly thought of a question.

"Dude, did you fall and now you can't tell east from west, south from north?"

It stands to reason that since there is the sun in the sky, it should be easy to tell the direction.

But in this era, few people have watches and cannot tell what time the sun sets.

The most important thing is that when your sense of direction is confused, even if you can tell the direction in your mind, you still feel confused.

The other party nodded awkwardly. He had just come out of those alleys and it was really too chaotic to find the direction.

"Forget it, I'll take you there!"

Anyway, you can go to the Summer Palace that way, it's just a matter of changing the route.

Just at this moment Zhu Lin came over with a popsicle and was a little surprised to see the young man next to him.

"This guy is from out of town and wants to go to the west gate of Peking University. He doesn't know the way. We can eat and walk at the same time, so take him there!"

Li Changhe explained to Zhu Lin, and Zhu Lin nodded, it was on the way anyway.

"Come on, buddy, have a popsicle to cool down!"

Zhu Lin picked out several flavors, and Li Changhe took one out and handed it to the young man.

"No, thanks!"

The young man quickly waved his hand to indicate that it was not necessary.

"It's okay, eat!"

Li Changhe stuffed it into his hand.

"Well, I'll give you money!"

The other party was a little surprised when he saw Li Changhe stuffing the money into his pocket, and then he started to search his pockets in a hurry.

"Don't be so polite, we are all revolutionary comrades, a popsicle is nothing." "Look at you, you are also an educated youth sent to the countryside, right?"

Li Changhe and Zhu Lin talked to the young man as they pushed the cart.

"Yes, I am an educated youth, and I came to Beijing on a business trip. Comrade, are you?"

The other party nodded and asked back.

"Me too, I just returned to the city this year!"

Li Changhe explained.

"Hello, my name is Haiwen, I'm from Hangzhou, but now I'm in Hongwei Commune, Hulin County, Heihe Province!"

"Hulin County, Heihe Province?"

"What a coincidence?"

Li Changhe was a little surprised because his elder sister's queue-jumping place was also there.

"what happened?"

Haiwen looked at Li Changhe's expression and asked in confusion.

"My eldest sister is also there, her name is Li Xiaojun, do you know her?"

Li Changhe asked in a deep voice.

When Haiwen heard this, a hint of surprise appeared on his face.

"Are you Xiaojun's brother?"

"Yes! My name is Li Changhe, and Li Xiaojun is my sister!"

"It seems you know my sister. I wonder how she is doing over there?"

Li Changhe asked curiously.

Haiwen shook his head after hearing Li Changhe's question.

"We were part of the same batch of educated youth who went to the countryside, but we were not assigned to the same commune, so we rarely met over the years."

"I just heard that Xiaojun got married there, but I don't know any more specific information!"

"If you want to know, I can help you find out when I get back!"

Haiwen said to Li Changhe seriously.

Li Changhe thought for a moment, then looked at Haiwen and asked, "Have you been there for many years?"

"Nine years!"

Speaking of this, Haiwen felt a little depressed. Over the years, he had been recommended to attend the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University several times, but was rejected in the end because of his classification problems.

His father is a college student and his mother's family has overseas connections. In this era, the issue of identity classification is serious.

"Then can you do me a favor? When you go back, can you help me find out what the reputation of the family my sister married into is like?"

"If you can, please tell her that I will visit her in a few days!"

"Of course, I won't ask you for this favor in vain."

"In return, I can tell you a piece of news!"

Li Changhe looked at Haiwen and said seriously.

"Changhe, you don't have to give me anything in return. Just because you are Xiaojun's brother, I will do you this favor."

Haiwen spoke seriously to Li Changhe at this time.

Li Changhe shook his head: "This should be good news for you. I don't know how you studied in school, but as far as I know, the country is studying the restoration of the college entrance examination!"

"It will most likely be announced this year, or possibly next year. In short, it will be restored. This is an opportunity for you!"

Li Changhe was not clear about the future identity of the young man in front of him, but he didn't mind selling himself well at this time so that it would be convenient for him to go to Heihe next.

I think that these days, anyone who is willing to visit Peking University must have a certain level of knowledge.

Because children from ordinary families probably don’t even know the name of Peking University, let alone come to visit.

As expected, after hearing what Li Changhe said, Haiwen suddenly became excited.

"Changhe, are you telling the truth?"

"The country is really going to resume the college entrance examination?"

"Really, the Ministry of Education is currently compiling opinions, but it is hard to say when it will be implemented!"

Li Changhe answered seriously.

Then, Haiwen took out a small notebook and a pen from his pocket, and quickly wrote down an address and phone number on it.

"Changhe, this is the phone number and address of our commune. Please call before you come. I will pick you up at the station."

"The people in Heihe are tough and sturdy. It's hard to say what might happen if you go there alone!"

"I will pay attention to Xiaojun's affairs when I return, so don't worry!"

Seeing the message handed over by Haiwen, Li Changhe took it.

"Thank you, Comrade Haiwen!"

"Yes, Simon is here!"

Zhu Lin interrupted their conversation at this time and pointed to the quaint west gate of Peking University in front of them to remind them.

"Are we there yet? Then let's stop here, Comrade Haiwen, we're leaving first!"

Li Changhe and Zhu Lin said goodbye to Haiwen, then rode away on their bicycles.

At this moment, Haiwen looked eagerly at the ancient school gate.

Li Changhe was not clear at the moment, under his guidance.

Peking University welcomed its first meeting with its vice president thirty years in the future.
