The educated youth was reborn and wanted to disappear, but he was locked into a military marriage.

"This room is much bigger, and I didn't bring many things with me," Zhu Xiaomin replied.

Not to mention other things, the big water vat in their yard, the urns for rice and flour in the granary, and the buckets for carrying water, these large items could not be brought in, and they were all sent to the food factory.

In addition, there are dozens of large bowls of various types that have been collected. Only a few complete fine porcelain bowls were taken here. The coarse porcelain and broken ones were not taken.

Not to mention the baskets, backpacks, farm tools and shelves in the house.

Mrs. Jiang thought of those things and nodded slightly. Seeing the cotton-spinning bow standing in the corner, she laughed again: "It's hard for them to bring this from such a long distance."

Zhu Xiaomin nodded. What she saw flashed through her mind was the difficulty of getting these things in the first place. She said softly, "They look like ordinary things. We bought them bit by bit. No wonder they are reluctant to part with them."

Mrs. Jiang came from a poor family, so she naturally understood what she meant. She nodded and smiled, "I was also shocked when I saw so many packages that day."

Zhu Xiaomin also laughed: "Think about it, let's not talk about Chengzhi and Shiwen getting married, just talk about the thirty people, each person needs a set of bedding, plus clothes for four seasons, daily books and other daily necessities, at least three packages, and we also have to bring the public things of the educated youth."

If it was the original clothes and bedding, some people would probably pick and choose and throw away some, but since she and Miao Shiwen started making cotton-padded clothes and bedding three years ago, they have been replacing everyone's clothes that are too worn out in a planned way. Everyone is used to being frugal, so how could they be willing to throw them away? Naturally, they took them all away.

It's true when you calculate it this way.

Mrs. Jiang nodded: "Our bedding, including the three sets they brought for us, totals ten sets. With that in mind, it's not surprising to have so many packages."

The educated youth not only took down the two sets of bedding that Zhu Xiaomin left behind when she got married, but also the set left by Luo Tingyuan, which was made of brand new cotton at the time.

Zhu Xiaomin nodded, and when she saw her fetching food and coming out with her, she said, "Now that everyone has come to the capital, it's most convenient to gather here when we have a break. I'm afraid we really need to build a big stove and buy a big pot."

Mrs. Jiang couldn't help but laugh.

Zhu Xiaomin also laughed: "Zhi An will have something to say if he hears this."

The two chatted and laughed as they mixed the batter in the yard and took it to the stove to ferment.

After a while, Miao Shiwen and Xie Chengzhi came back and closed the door again. One of them said, "We asked, the nearest farmer's market is an hour's ride away, but there is a supply and marketing cooperative of the brigade in the village, where we can buy meat and some daily necessities from time to time."

Zhu Xiaomin was surprised: "People in the village don't eat vegetables?"

Miao Shiwen laughed: "They all have their own private plots. They don't grow crops themselves, but vegetables. They not only eat enough for themselves, but also send them to the farmers' market in the city. The university cafeteria is a vegetable plot opened up by the school students themselves, using collective labor."

Xie Chengzhi was helpless: "No wonder Ming Zheng said he would send us some food. Now even if we want to buy some, it's not convenient to go into the city."

Zhu Xiaomin was not worried: "Spring plowing will be around the corner soon. When the vegetables grow in the fields, we can just go to the team to buy them. Their supply and marketing cooperative should also have them. Or we can just grow some ourselves with a yard as big as ours." She changed the subject and discussed with the two about what else to add to the yard.

In the afternoon, Zhu Xiaomin and Miao Shiwen went to the brigade's supply and marketing cooperative again. In addition to some cooking ingredients, they bought two rolls of iron wire, one thick and one thin.

Xie Chengzhi found some tools and twisted two rolls of wire into several racks for grilling food.

The students from Peking University and National Tsinghua University reported on the same day. On the morning of the 26th, the three of them got up early to pack.

At this time, the weather was getting warmer. Zhu Xiaomin took off her gray rabbit fur coat and put on the corduroy jacket she had made for her wedding over her cotton coat. She left the two children with Mrs. Jiang, and the three of them took their notices to register at school.

Xitucheng Brigade is not far from Peking University. It only takes Xie and Miao more than ten minutes to walk there, but it takes Zhu Xiaomin more than half an hour to walk to Tsinghua University.

When I arrived at the school gate, I saw a long sign in front of the bluestone gate with the words "Welcome New Students" written on colored paper.

Zhu Xiaomin stopped at the door and just looked up to admire the school name above when a boy came up to her and asked with a smile, "Are you a freshman here to register? The registration office is inside. I'll take you in."

Zhu Xiaomin retracted her gaze and saw the person in front of her, a young man in his early twenties, of medium build. His facial features were not outstanding, but when he smiled, he showed a row of white teeth, which added some brightness to his ordinary face. She nodded slightly and said, "Okay!" and followed him inside.

The boy introduced himself as he walked over: "My name is Ren Dajiang, I'm a junior, the last batch of workers, peasants and soldiers. Nice to meet you."

Zhu Xiaomin smiled at him: "I'm Zhu Xiaomin, nice to meet you."

Ren Dajiang looked her up and down and asked, "Are you from Beijing? What did you do? I'm from Henan Province, working class."

Zhu Xiaomin simply answered: "I am an educated youth who went to the countryside."

Ren Dajiang waited for a while, but didn't hear any other introduction from her. He wanted to ask more, but they had already entered the school gate. There was a large piece of paper pasted in front of the registration desk, and Zhu Xiaomin had already walked a few steps over.

The person in charge of registration was also a worker-peasant-soldier student from previous years. He registered her and pointed to another place: "Go there to get accommodation, then go to the student affairs office to register your household registration and transfer your personal relationship. You can also get meal tickets at the same time."

Zhu Xiaomin asked: "I wonder when the opening ceremony will be? What else do I need to do after registering my household registration?"

The person showing me the way said, "After you finish these things, ask the student in charge of reception to take you to the dormitory, and then you will go to your class. The opening ceremony will be tomorrow morning."

Zhu Xiaomin thanked him and walked directly towards the Student Affairs Office.

Ren Dajiang hurried over and said, "Student Zhu Xiaomin, please register for the dormitory here."

Zhu Xiaomin turned around, looked at the dormitory registration table, shook her head and said, "It's not convenient for me to stay with my child, so I've rented a house off campus." As she spoke, she didn't stop.

Ren Dajiang was stunned for a moment, then quickly caught up with her, looked at her, and seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.

She looks a few years younger than him, how come she has a child?

Zhu Xiaomin pretended not to see it and followed him into the Student Affairs Office to handle her household registration and personal relations.

Because they got up very early and the place was close, there were not many people there at that time, so all the procedures were completed quickly. Ren Dajiang looked at her major and took her to a teaching building at the back.

When we were almost at the building entrance, I couldn't help asking, "You said you have a child? Is it your own? Are you married? Is your spouse also an educated youth?"
