Chapter 79: Live on campus or go to school as a day student?
Li Changhe was not short of money, so when the meat was gone, he decisively ordered a few more plates.
Anyway, the Minzu Hotel doesn’t require tickets, you just pay for it.
After eating, Li Changhe had nowhere to go, so he followed Liu Jianqing and others back to the editorial office of People's Literature.
Then I found an empty desk in the editorial office, asked for a pen and a piece of manuscript paper, and started writing the manuscript there in the afternoon.
There was a lot of noise in the editorial office, but Li Changhe seemed unmoved. He sat there and kept writing, and it seemed that he didn't need to think and he wrote without stopping.
This also greatly broadened the horizons of Liu Jianqing and others, and they understood why Li Changhe was able to submit manuscripts under so many aliases.
Li Changhe did take pauses in the middle. After all, he was writing by hand. After writing for more than an hour, his wrists felt sore, so he would stop to rest for a while and move around.
He demonstrated his writing skills to the editors for an entire afternoon, and then at around five o'clock, Li Changhe left the editorial office with the unfinished manuscript.
Li Changhe arrived at the school gate and picked up Zhu Lin who was just finishing school, and then went home with Zhu Lin.
But this time I went back to my father-in-law's house.
Liu Shuwan went home early this time and cooked a few dishes. After all, according to the old rules, this was considered a return visit by the daughter.
But now all the rules have been broken. No newlyweds pay attention to these things openly, but some families do so on their own.
"Dad, Mom, I'll do it!"
This time when he came to Zhu's house, Li Changhe could change his words openly, and he also had to behave himself here and not act like a big shot.
Seeing Li Changhe's diligence, Liu Shuwan became more and more satisfied.
My vision is good.
"Just stay at home tonight!"
"By the way, Changhe, when school starts, do you plan to continue to be a day student or live on campus?"
After dinner, Liu Shuwan asked Li Changhe curiously.
Li Changhe smiled and replied, "Mom, I haven't discussed this with Linlin yet. I was too busy yesterday to take care of it. Let's discuss it tonight."
"Well, then you two should discuss it."
Liu Shuwan didn't ask much, she was just finding a topic to talk about.
At night, in Zhu Lin's boudoir, Li Changhe lived in his father-in-law's house for the first time.
In fact, it is generally no different from Li Changhe's room, except that the decoration in the room is more feminine.
After a silent battle, Zhu Lin leaned in Li Changhe's arms, placed his hands on his chest and asked softly.
"By the way, what are you going to do about the commuting thing that mom talked about tonight?"
"Will you live on campus or go back and forth to school?"
Peking University is close to here, and it only takes about ten minutes to ride a bike there, so commuting to school has no problem for Li Changhe.
"Actually, I'm easy to talk to. The main thing is that it's troublesome for you to go to school every day."
Li Changhe had actually considered this a long time ago. Peking University was close to him, but Union Hospital was far from his home.
To cover a distance of more than ten kilometers, Zhu Lin would have to take the bus and reverse several times, not to mention riding a bicycle.
The most important thing is that it is already 78, and what will follow is a large wave of educated youth returning to the city.
The large number of educated youth returning to the cities from rural areas brought not only food and employment pressures, but also huge pressure on social security.
Li Changhe must consider this situation.
"It's nothing. Nothing happened in the past two years!"
Zhu Lin said nonchalantly that she had been back in the city for the past two years and had gone home often, so she didn't feel unsafe.
"That's because the educated youth didn't return to the city in large numbers. Imagine that hundreds of millions of people had stayed in the countryside for more than ten years. If they suddenly flocked back to the city, how could there be so many jobs?"
"I entered Peking University, and I still had to arrange for accommodation. One reason was to see how much academic pressure I had and whether I could keep up. The other reason was that if it was windy or rainy, I would just stay nearby."
"Here's what I think. You will still live on campus. If I have time, I will pick you up from school and we can go home together."
Li Changhe finally decided that he could not just indulge in temporary pleasure and let Zhu Lin take the risk.
"Well, if I have time, I can go home early during the day and then visit you at your school." "I haven't been to Peking University yet."
Zhu Lin also spoke softly at this time.
"No problem, it depends on your time then."
Li Changhe did not refuse. It was still very safe during the day in that era. There were many people on the road and many warm-hearted people.
If someone really shouts "hooliganism", even if the enthusiastic masses beat those people to death, the GA will not say anything, and the street may even reward them with a big red flower.
It’s not like in later generations, where people have to blackmail others even if they fall to the ground!
wait?
Li Changhe suddenly thought, if calculated by age, wouldn’t those old guys in later generations be people around the same age as him now?
So, these people who are tossing and turning, falling to the ground and being helped, dancing in the square, and running wildly on the street, are they the same group of people?
Of course, it is definitely only a part. Most people of this era are still good.
"Don't move."
As they chatted, Li Changhe started to act dishonestly, and Zhu Lin couldn't help but hit his hand.
Unfortunately, it is impossible to stay still. Who would like to have a serious chat at this time?
Nothing in the night
The next morning, after the two had eaten, Li Changhe sent Zhu Lin to school as usual.
Then that day Li Changhe did not go to the magazine office, but took a bus back home and then came to the courtyard.
He came to see how his eldest sister's family got along with Zhang Shiqi.
By the way, he had to see Chen Aiguo off, and take the letter of introduction issued by the school and the job acceptance certificate to go to his hometown to handle the formalities.
As for her niece, Shen Yuxiu has already contacted a local nursery. She sends her to the nursery during the day and takes her home at night.
Li Changhe was considering whether to build a partition in the living room for the mother and daughter.
The house that Li Changhe and his family live in now is a two-bedroom apartment of more than 60 square meters. The living room is actually not small because this area does not include the balcony.
Moreover, their housing was for high-ranking officials at the time, and had double balconies in the north and south, so theoretically it was entirely possible to separate a room into it.
It doesn’t need to be too big, just enough for Li Xiaojun and her daughter to live in.
As for Chen Aiguo, it’s good enough for him to live in a courtyard house.
When they arrived at the courtyard, Niu Niu was running in the yard when Li Changhe went in.
Seeing Li Changhe coming in, he ran over immediately.
"uncle!"
"Hey"
Li Changhe picked her up and saw that her clothes were covered with dust, so he brushed her off a few times.
Zhang Shiqi was not in the yard, but in the house. After all, it was cold outside.
Li Changhe carried his niece into Zhang Shiqi's main house.
"Why are you here today?"
Zhang Shiqi's rocking chair had been moved to the side of the stove in the room. It was warm and comfortable next to the stove.
"School is about to start, so I came to see you and my eldest sister's family. How is it? Do you like it?"
Li Changhe asked with a smile.
Zhang Shiqi said calmly: "It's OK at the moment. Your brother-in-law is a quiet and honest man, but he works quickly."
"Your sister is very discerning. This girl is well-educated and will not come to my room casually."
"But time will tell. Let them stay here first and I'll see."
"Okay, let's go to a restaurant at noon. I'll treat you."
Anyway, I have to send Chen Aiguo to the station, so I might as well take Niuniu for a walk around the city and invite Zhang Shiqi to dinner to express my gratitude.
"You are quite a sophisticated kid. Come on, I'll take you to Liulichang for a stroll today!"
Thanks to Wu Zang Xuan Ming for the reward! By the way, continue to promote this book
