Chapter 122 University
A new journey means going our separate ways with old friends.
Lu Youning and Ruan Fuxi went to Peking University, Gu Siyuan and Lu Yixiao went to Shanghai, and Pan Lanfei went to Zhejiang University.
On September 1st, the day when major universities started school, Lu Youning and his parents went to Beijing a few days in advance.
After they arrived in Beijing, they first found a hotel not far from Peking University to stay in.
"Finally we got there. I've been sitting in the car for a whole day and I'm almost dizzy." Mother Lu sighed.
Father Lu also echoed, "It's not easy to come to Beijing. This is probably the only time we can come here in our lifetime. It's all thanks to our daughter. Otherwise, we wouldn't be willing to come to Beijing for a trip."
Lu Youning put her luggage away and lay down on the bed to rest. She was almost vomiting from sitting on the train and secretly decided to take a plane to go home next time.
"Mom and Dad, let's take a break for half an hour and then go to the hotel restaurant for dinner later. We are too tired today, so we won't go out to eat. I will take you to the Forbidden City tomorrow." Lu Youning said weakly.
Mother Lu responded: "Okay, don't go out to eat, just eat something casually." After that, she found a place to lie down and closed her eyes to rest.
Seeing that the mother and daughter wanted to rest, Dad Lu went back to the next room.
Half an hour later, Lu Youning struggled to get up from the bed. Feeling a little more refreshed, he called Lu's father and mother to go to the hotel restaurant.
There weren't many people in the hotel restaurant, and the environment was quite quiet. They found a seat by the window and the waiter quickly brought the menu.
Lu Youning took the menu and looked at the dishes. There were many dishes with Beijing characteristics.
I ordered a Peking duck, thinking that since my parents were visiting Beijing, they must try this most famous delicacy. I also ordered a few special dishes and a soup.
……
After waking up the next morning and having breakfast, Lu Youning took his parents to the Palace Museum.
Stepping into the vermilion gate of the Forbidden City, it feels like stepping into the long river of history.
Lu Youning walked in front, transformed into a little tour guide, and explained in detail to Lu's father and mother the knowledge about the Forbidden City that they had read in books.
They walked slowly along the central axis, passing the three main halls in turn. The majestic and magnificent appearance of the Hall of Supreme Harmony made Lu's father and mother exclaim in amazement.
The golden glazed tiles, the exquisite golden pillars with coiled dragons and the majestic dragon throne in the hall all demonstrate the supreme dignity and grandeur of the royal family in the past.
As Mother Lu watched, she pulled Lu Youning aside and whispered, "This is where the emperor used to live. Now we can see it with our own eyes. It's really incredible."
Father Lu nodded and said, “Yes, it looks magnificent.”
"Click, click."
Lu Youning stood by and took photos of her parents from time to time.
In the next two days, Lu Youning took his parents to visit other places.
The day before registration, Lu Youning planned to take his parents to Tiananmen Square to watch the flag-raising ceremony.
In the early hours of the night, the family got up early. Although Lu Youning was sleepy, she could not hide her excitement when she saw that Lu's father and mother were full of anticipation.
They took a taxi to the vicinity of Tiananmen Square and saw many people on the street walking in the same direction. They got off the car and walked over.
There are families of three like them, as well as young people traveling together. Everyone has deep respect for the national flag and the motherland.
When they arrived at Tiananmen Square, a dense crowd of people had already gathered there.
Lu Youning held her parents' hands and carefully found a suitable place to stand in the crowd.
Although the square was still shrouded in darkness at this time, it was not deserted at all. Everyone was talking in low voices, and occasionally a few words from other places could be heard.
These are people who have come from far and wide just to witness this sacred moment.
As time passed, the sky gradually turned pale.
The national flag guard marched in uniform and powerful steps, escorting the national flag out of Tiananmen Square. The solemn scene made the place quiet in an instant.
Lu Youning kept taking pictures of her parents with her mobile phone, thinking about developing them and making an album later.
As the passionate national anthem played, the bright five-star red flag slowly rose against the morning sun.
Like the people around them, Lu Youning and her parents followed closely and sang the national anthem softly.
At that moment, Lu's father and mother's eyes became moist, Lu Youning's eyes turned red, and a strong sense of pride surged in her heart.
After the flag-raising ceremony, the crowd gradually dispersed, and Lu Youning took her parents to take a photo under the national flag.
On the first day of school, Lu Youning went to school early because she was afraid that there would be too many people registering.
Lu Youning entered the campus with her parents, pulling her suitcase. Banners welcoming new students could be seen everywhere on the campus.
Following the guidance of the senior student, they arrived at the new student registration office, where some students were already queuing in front.
Lu Youning quickly took the required registration materials to register at his college, then filled in the information, got the key and went to find the dormitory.
Lu Youning and her parents carried their luggage and climbed to the fifth floor, dormitory 502.
As soon as he opened the door, Lu Youning saw that there was already a girl in the dormitory making her bed. She looked up at Lu Youning and nodded slightly.
Lu Youning also smiled and nodded, then looked around. The dormitory was a four-person room.
The beds are still bunk beds, with two bunk beds placed on one side of the dormitory.
On the other side, there are four sets of desks placed side by side. There are bookshelves connected to the wall, and storage cabinets on top of the bookshelves.
Lu Youning arrived early to report, so there were three empty beds to choose from. She chose the upper bunk as usual.
After putting down his things, Mr. Lu went to wait outside the dormitory, while Mrs. Lu began to clean her daughter's bed.
After making the bed, Lu Youning took his parents on a tour of the campus.
Near noon, Lu Youning took his parents to the school’s largest cafeteria, the Nongyuan Cafeteria, for lunch.
After they found an empty seat and sat down, Lu Youning went to line up for her meal. She carefully selected a few home-cooked dishes, considering her parents' tastes, and ordered three servings of rice before returning to her seat with her tray.
Mother Lu looked at the tempting food on the plate and said with a smile, "Wow, it looks quite appetizing."
As he spoke, he picked up his chopsticks and took a bite, then praised: "This tastes really good. I didn't expect the food in the school cafeteria to be so delicious."
Father Lu also tried it and agreed, "Yes, eating here will definitely be nutritious, so we can rest assured."
Lu Youning also picked up a dish and put it in her mouth. Hmm, it was delicious. Famous schools are really different. Even the food in the cafeteria is delicious, and most importantly, it’s cheap.
Because tomorrow is the day for new students to register, after lunch, Lu Youning decided to go back to the hotel with his parents so that he could send them to the station tomorrow.
