Chapter 87 Enrollment
While Li Xiaoyun and Lin Yan were chatting excitedly, Song Yuanchao was not idle either.
He took out the things he brought from Shanghai from his bag with a smile and distributed them to the teachers and classmates around him. They were all specialties from Shanghai, such as five-spice beans, butterfly cakes, White Rabbit milk candies, etc.
While distributing the gifts, Song Yuanchao apologized and said that he did not bring much, so he could only give everyone a taste. He thanked everyone for taking care of Lin Yan these days. You are all his teachers, seniors and classmates. He hoped that everyone would not despise his little kindness. In the future, please help more and make progress together...
Song Yuanchao's move quickly won the favor of most people. Besides, he was just a soft-spoken person after taking other people's things. Song Yuanchao was not bad looking, although he was a little darker and thinner than Zhao Minglei. But in this era, young handsome men were not popular. Instead, Song Yuanchao, who looked more manly, was more acceptable.
Song Yuanchao has a cheerful personality and speaks nicely. He is not only a new classmate in the same department, but also Lin Yan's boyfriend. He quickly becomes friends with the teachers and classmates around him.
"Xiao Song, no wonder our Lin Yan is always unique in school. She is usually cold to male classmates. After all this fuss, it turns out that there is a partner like you." A counselor teacher said to Song Yuanchao with a smile. This teacher was actually not very old and looked to be in his early thirties.
Song Yuanchao smiled and nodded apologetically, "Teacher, my Yan Zi is just like that. If she did anything inappropriate, I apologize to you and all the students on her behalf."
Song Yuanchao's words made the tutor feel a little embarrassed. She smiled and said, "That's too much! Lin Yan is a very good student in school. It's a good thing for female comrades to respect themselves. I was just worried that she was not sociable in socializing before. Now I understand that it's because of you, Xiao Song. Hahaha."
Following the tutor's joke, the students around also laughed, especially Xie Xiaohong, who shared the same dormitory with Lin Yan. When Song Yuanchao appeared, Xie Xiaohong finally understood why Lin Yan had always been so unkind to Zhao Minglei.
Looking at Song Yuanchao, who was full of energy, had a sincere smile on his face, and had a cheerful personality without any airs, Xie Xiaohong had to admit that there was a reason why Lin Yan was dating him. Compared with the handsome Zhao Minglei, Song Yuanchao was more approachable and down-to-earth, unlike Zhao Minglei, whose politeness and politeness always gave people an inexplicable sense of superiority.
"Hey, where is the senior from before?" After walking around, Song Yuanchao suddenly frowned slightly and looked for Zhao Minglei in the crowd, muttering to himself, "He was here just now, how come he disappeared after he had just said a few words to the teachers and classmates?"
"Are you talking about Zhao Minglei? I saw him just left." said an unfamiliar classmate.
"Gone?" Song Yuanchao scratched his head in annoyance. "Why did he leave? Um...did I say something wrong? Did I make Senior Zhao unhappy?"
After saying that, without waiting for others to answer, Song Yuanchao slapped his head and said, "No, this shouldn't be the case. Maybe Senior Zhao has something urgent to do and has gone to take care of it first? Senior, you know Senior Zhao, right? I'd like to trouble you to give this to him. This is pear paste candy, a specialty of our Shanghai, with a history of more than 100 years. The weather in the north is dry, so this is the best thing to eat when you have a sore throat."
As Song Yuanchao spoke, he stuffed a bag of pear candy directly into the hand of the classmate who had just spoken, and specially said thank you to him.
Holding the bag of pear syrup candy and thinking back to what Song Yuanchao said, the classmate was a little amused and helpless and had no choice but to agree.
It was a lively occasion. After all, today was the time for new students to report for admission. The work that needed to be done still needed to be done. Reporting for admission was a serious matter and could not be delayed.
With the help of their counselors, Song Yuanchao and Li Xiaoyun quickly completed the admission procedures and were assigned to their respective dormitories.
At this time, Lin Yan was already very familiar with Li Xiaoyun. She took the initiative to propose taking Li Xiaoyun to the girls' dormitory. Song Yuanchao certainly had no objection to this. He nodded in agreement with a smile, and quietly stepped forward to say a few words to Lin Yan.
Listening to Song Yuanchao's explanation, Lin Yan smiled and nodded repeatedly. Today, she was more radiant than ever in school. The usually serious Lin Yan had a happy and sweet smile of a little girl on her face, making her classmates feel that the Lin Yan of the past and the Lin Yan of today were completely two different people.
"Brother Yuanchao, Sister Yanzi and I will go to the dormitory first. See you later!" Li Xiaoyun, who was skipping and jumping with her luggage on her back, waved to Song Yuanchao and deliberately winked at him and made a weird face. Seeing Li Xiaoyun's weird look, Song Yuanchao was also amused. This little girl really helped today. If she hadn't run out to join in the fun, it wouldn't have been so easy to anger Zhao Minglei away just now.
Song Yuanchao confessed to Li Xiaoyun about his relationship with Lin Yan on the train to Yanjing. Since Li Xiaoyun had been admitted to the Imperial University of Peking and would be his classmate in the future, it was impossible for Song Yuanchao to hide the matter between him and Lin Yan from her any longer.
Besides, Song Yuanchao had no intention of hiding it from Li Xiaoyun. He had not mentioned this matter in Shanghai before because it had not been settled. But now, these concerns were unnecessary. It was time to officially announce his relationship with Lin Yan.
What Song Yuanchao did today may seem like a coincidence, but he actually had his purpose. He wanted to use such a high profile to directly announce his relationship with Lin Yan in front of everyone, make this known to the public, and make other people who have ulterior motives towards Lin Yan give up.
Zhao Minglei had bad luck. Today he happened to run into Song Yuanchao's gun. It was really bad luck for him.
Song Yuanchao didn't care who Zhao Minglei was or what his background was. Even if the Zhao family was powerful, what did it have to do with him? He was also a student of Jingshi University, so he didn't need to look at anyone's face . As for Lin Yan, how could the deep emotional foundation between them be compared with that of a mere Zhao Minglei?
In this era, it is normal to have a partner in college. On the contrary, after the 1980s, universities have imposed strict restrictions on school dating.
The reason is very simple. The three levels of students in 1977, 1978, and 1979 after the resumption of the college entrance examination are different from the college students after 1980. These three levels of students are also called the "new three classes" in history, corresponding to the previous three old classes.
The vast majority of the students in the new three classes are young people from society and educated youth, and there are even many adults who have already started working.
Except for the class of 1979, which was Song Yuanchao's first class, the number of high school graduates began to increase gradually. By 1980, which is next year's college entrance examination, the number of high school graduates taking the college entrance examination will exceed the number of young people in society. This number will also increase with the passage of time, thus becoming the backbone of the college entrance examination.
It is precisely for this reason that the new three classes of freshmen are generally older. Some, like Song Yuanchao and Lin Yan, are not considered old, and there are even new students who are over 30 years old and have been admitted to the university.
Some of these students were educated youth, some were workers, and some were cadres. Many of them had already married or were about to get married. Some even had couples who were admitted to the university together and brought their children with them to class. Imagine that many of these students even had children. The school couldn't force them to introduce a policy that prohibited dating during school hours, right? Wouldn't this clearly separate couples?
