During the Spring Festival in 1978, a family of four enjoyed themselves happily.
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the family of four was about to leave.
Tang Jianbing and Chen Ying escorted them all the way to the train station.
Years ago, when Bao Siqing arrived in Beicheng, he sent a telegram telling Yun Hua the address of the rented house in Beicheng, and asked her to send all her luggage directly.
Now that their family of four is leaving, they only bring a little carry-on luggage, most of which are clothes to wear, food to eat on the road, and so on.
"Third brother, younger siblings, you are doing well at school, if you have any difficulties, please send us a telegram, and we will find a solution!" Tang Jianbing said.
Chen Ying also nodded, "There is still some food, you can bring it with you, you can use it anyway."
It was 20 catties of white flour, and Chen Ying was quite willing to do so.
"Be careful on the road, don't lose your child."
"Come on, I'll help you carry your luggage."
It is not popular for migrant workers to enter the city these days, but there are too few trains, so the trains on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year are also very crowded.
Somehow, Bao Siqing got four sleeper tickets.
Most people can't buy a sleeper ticket these days.
First of all, the sleeper car is much more spacious than the hard seat car, and there will be no crowds here, and the environment is much better.
"How did you get a sleeper ticket?" Yun Hua couldn't help asking.
Bao Siqing smiled, "There is no way for you to take the plane, so I can only find a way to make your train ride more comfortable."
He didn't answer her question directly, but it didn't matter.
Yun Hua smiled, "Actually, you can just stay in Beicheng and wait for us."
"That won't work." Bao Siqing said, "It's too tiring for you to drive alone with two children."
Yun Hua's heart skipped a beat.
The two children were very, very fresh about the matter of taking the train. They were so excited that they couldn't fall asleep. Eating on the train seemed to be more delicious than usual.
Yun Hua didn't restrict them either. Children were curious, so just satisfy their curiosity and don't stop their desire to explore the world.
It was already midnight when the two little guys fell asleep.
At this time, everyone in the car was asleep, so she got up to drink some water.
"Wait."
Bao Siqing said, "The water is frozen, I'll go get some hot water."
As he spoke, he put on his shoes and got out of bed. After a while, a pot of hot water was brought.
Yun Hua drank some hot water, and his stomach felt better.
"Yun Hua."
He said.
"Huh? What's the matter?"
"We are in that world, don't we really know each other?" He asked.
Yun Hua didn't know how to answer.
She was silent for a while before saying, "I know."
"When did you meet?" he asked.
Yun Hua looked up at him.
In the darkness, neither of them could clearly see the other's expression.
There was a little smile in Yun Hua's voice, "When you came here, your 19th birthday hadn't passed yet, so I probably met you around your 19th birthday. At that time... I still had a few days before my 14th birthday , in middle school, second year of middle school. You hid in our school because of a mission, and I accidentally... bumped into you. Then you left, but I ran into you again when I came home from self-study at night. You were injured, and you were a little Seriously, I saved you. That's it."
Although she couldn't see her expression, Bao Siqing could tell from her tone that she didn't lie, what she said was true.
turn out to be…
It turned out that if he hadn't come to this world, they might have met and known each other in that world now.
But when we met, he was already an adult, and she was still a junior high school student. She saved him, so he would probably take care of her like a younger sister.
"Then what happened next?"
Bao Siqing asked, "When you came here, the time in that world was 2018. What was I doing at that time?"
Yun Hua fell silent.
It was a long time before she said, "I don't know."
Bao Siqing raised his eyebrows slightly, but it made sense if he thought about it carefully.
With his own identity and his work situation, it was normal for her not to know his whereabouts, because even his family members would not know his whereabouts.
"Why didn't you tell me in the first place?" he asked.
Yun Hua smiled, "I don't know what to say, I'm afraid you think I'm trying to get close to you."
"No." Bao Siqing said, "I will believe you."
"Huh? Why? After all, you don't know me at all."
"I don't know either." Bao Siqing said, "I subconsciously feel that I believe in you and everything about you."
Yun Hua's heartbeat almost stopped.
this man...
"Is it cold?" he asked.
When he didn't speak, Yun Hua didn't feel anything. When he asked, she really felt a little cold.
"Lie down, cover the quilt." He came over, helped her cover the quilt, and took her coat to cover the quilt.
"Look at Dudu and Doudou," Yun Hua said.
Bao Siqing touched it, and said with a smile, "Don't worry about them, the boy has a lot of firepower, and the temperature inside this carriage is much higher than outside, and they're still kicking the quilt."
Yun Hua didn't say anything else. The two little guys had always been like a small stove. It didn't feel too good to hold them to sleep in winter.
Seeing her lying down and covering her, he also lay down and covered her with the quilt: "Go to sleep, it's late."
"Um."
In Beicheng in the 1970s, everything was dusty.
The sky is gray, the streets are gray, the low buildings are also gray, people's clothes are also gray, there are few cars, and there are many bicycles.
This is the mirror image of the country that the foreign media ridiculed and pitied. Countless dusty photos spread all over the world. Until decades later, many foreigners who don’t care about current affairs still think that country Z is dusty. People The main means of transportation are bicycles, there is no high-rise building...
Who would have imagined that such a dusty world would completely change in a few years.
It took only a few decades for this place to reach a height that surpassed the one or two hundred years it took the world-renowned big cities to reach!
…
The house that Bao Siqing rented was very close to Lin Yunhua's school, and a little far from Beihua University, where Bao Siqing was going to study, but obviously, it was to take care of Lin Yunhua.
At the same time, it is also very close to an elementary school, which is convenient for Dudu and Doudou to go to school in the future.
Bao Siqing rented a very nice courtyard house.
Yun Hua liked this kind of house very much, but it still needed some renovation.
While cleaning the house, Yun Hua suddenly asked, "Have you tried to find... your family?"
Looking at her, Bao Siqing understood what she meant, "Are you referring to my family in that world?"
"Um."
Yun Hua nodded.
Bao Siqing looked at her, "Don't you know my family in that world?"
Yun Hua didn't say a word.
Bao Siqing didn't ask, after all, his family was a little sensitive, and she was just a little girl who saved his life. Maybe he never told her.
"I've inquired, no." Bao Siqing said, "This world has too many similarities with that world, but there are also too many differences."
Yun Hua didn't know whether he should be grateful or sad.
"Then do you still want to find your biological parents? I mean, Tang Jianqing's biological parents?" Yun Hua said.
Bao Siqing shook his head, "Follow the fate, I won't look for it on purpose."
The house was almost tidied up. Bao Siqing took Yun Hua to the post office to pick up the package. It had been half a month. The package must have arrived, but the postman had just started work, so the squeezed letters and package receipt notices definitely couldn't be helped. Almost done, they decided to find it themselves.
After finding the luggage, I found a human-powered cart to pull the luggage back. I was really tired, so I just made a few beds and started cooking and eating.
Although Dudu and Doudou were very curious about this place, they were not in a hurry to go out to play. Instead, they stayed at home to help their parents clean the house and put things away.
Who doesn't like such a child.
tenth day.
Telling the two little guys to be good at home and not to run around, Yun Hua and Bao Siqing went to report to the university respectively.
Then it was time to find a school for Dudu and Doudou.
In the past ten years, not only universities but also primary and secondary schools have been greatly affected in terms of education. However, the North City is a core city after all, and the resumption of classes in primary and secondary schools is much earlier and more systematic than in the countryside.
Together with Yun Hua, Bao Siqing took Dudu and Doudou to the elementary school in the area to find the principal.
The principal they went directly to.
The principal was rehabilitated last year, and he was unable to do his original job, so he was transferred to a primary school as the principal.
"No Beicheng Hukou?" the principal asked.
"Yes, my husband and I were both admitted to the university in Beicheng, and our household registration relationship was also transferred to the school. The two children could not stay in their hometown, so they were brought here. For the time being, we cannot apply for Beicheng household registration." Bao Siqing said.
"It's not impossible." The principal said, "How is their foundation? I think they are six or seven years old at most, so let's go to the first grade. There are a lot of students who signed up this year. If there are too many..."
"The house we rent is here, so they can only go to school here." Yun Hua said, "If they go to another school, we won't be able to take care of them. In addition, we want them to go to the fifth grade, so that You can take the junior high school entrance examination in autumn."
The principal was surprised, "Fifth grade?"
"Yes, they have actually finished all their primary school knowledge," Yun Hua said.
The principal didn't believe it, so he had to test Dudu and Doudou on the spot.
As a result, primary school knowledge is not difficult for these two little guys.
The principal originally had an attitude of letting things go, but now he has a heart of love for talents and becomes very enthusiastic. Everyone likes children who have studied well since ancient times.
Dudu and Doudou's problem of going to school was solved, and a big stone in Yun Hua's heart fell to the ground.
Now college students are not like the college students after the expansion of enrollment. Studying is very loose. Skipping classes, playing games and falling in love is the norm in college. Nowadays, it is not easy for college students to have the opportunity to go to school. After graduation, they all cherish the opportunity to study and work very hard in school.
And the current courses will be relatively heavy, and there will be very little free time.
Bao Siqing and Yun Hua had to go to school, take care of their two children, and find a way to earn some money.
Otherwise, with the school's subsidy, the two of them don't have to worry about their lives. What about the two little guys
They are not single dogs now, but when they become parents, they must consider their children.
"I'll figure out a way about the money. There's no rush right now." Bao Siqing said.
Yun Hua also knew that the family still had some money, but he couldn't just sit and eat.
But she's in medical school, so she'll be busier studying.
On the contrary, Bao Siqing reported that he majored in chemical engineering, and majoring in science would be easier for him, so the responsibilities of taking care of the children and earning money were almost all on him.
Yun Hua was very sorry, but Bao Siqing said it was nothing, he was happy to take on this responsibility.
College students in the class of 77 have worked harder than others.
Because this year they only have half a semester in their freshman year, and they have to complete two semesters of courses in half a semester. The teachers are teaching so fast that they can't keep up if they don't pay attention. I can't wait to spend all my time studying.
Even Yun Hua was exhausted by such a heavy course.
At this time, Bao Siqing became an outlier in the heavy snow.
His courses are completely easy to handle. Others get up at five o'clock in the morning to read, and they always carry books when they walk, eat and go to the bathroom, for fear of wasting a little time.
And Bao Siqing was never the type who didn't enter the classroom until the class was in, and left immediately after class, and he couldn't find anyone else in his usual studies.
Among the other three people who were assigned to the same dormitory as Bao Siqing, one was in his forties, the other was in his thirties, and the other was about the same age as Bao Siqing now, in his mid-twenties.
There is a big age gap between everyone, but they are also classmates, so they are called big brother, second brother and third brother.
According to Tang Jianqing's age report, Bao Siqing was the third oldest.
The eldest brother is the one in his forties. Once he saw Bao Siqing in a hurry in the dormitory, he finally couldn't help but say, "Third brother, you still have to study hard when you come to school. Don't worry about other things." of."
Bao Siqing nodded with a smile, "I understand, I won't miss the course."
Seeing him like this, Big Brother didn't say much.
But many other students in the class were very dissatisfied with Bao Siqing's learning attitude, thinking that he was not serious enough and did not cherish this hard-won learning opportunity at all.
Of course, another reason was that Bao Siqing's clothes were obviously simple, but for some reason, he just felt that he was different from others.
Beihua University was originally focused on science and engineering. In this day and age, there were very few girls. There were not many girls in the whole school, but unfortunately, the few girls were very fond of Bao Siqing.
There is no doubt that Bao Siqing's good-looking skin has contributed a lot, which will easily cause some people's dissatisfaction.
Especially every time, Bao Siqing received a lot of love poems, which made other boys in the school jealous.
"Hi, student Bao Siqing, I'm Shu Ling from the School of Foreign Languages, may I invite you to watch a play? In the Beicheng Grand Theater, there are well-known performing artists..."
"Sorry, I don't have time." Bao Siqing refused without looking up.
Shu Ling's face immediately turned a little restless, "Bo, do you remember me? We met before. You helped me the day I got the book..."
