The heavens set sail from the courtyard

In the end, Xie Lao Er was completely subdued by Grandma Xie, and Xie Zirun also agreed to give the old house in Denghua Hutong to his younger brother. The only condition was that Xie Lao Er would take care of Grandma Xie in her old age and see her to the end of her life, and this was signed in writing.

From then on, the Xie family officially split up. Xie Zirun and his wife took Xie Qiao to live in the house that Wang Gang bought for them. Wang Gang also moved out to live alone because he went to college.

From then on, Grandma Xie and Xie Laoer were the only ones living together in the large compound in Denghua Hutong, and Xie Zirun would go back every weekend.

On the day Xie Qiao moved out, Qin Chuan was the one who was most reluctant to let her go. Only then did he fully understand that Xie Qiao was no longer his playmate, but the most indispensable person in his life.

Before leaving, Xie Qiao agreed with Qin Chuan that on the day Wang Gang reported to Peking University and Tsinghua University, they would go to see him off together, and reunite with He Xiaozhou and stroll around the campus together.

Of course Qin Chuan agreed readily, and even Qin's father and mother wanted to join in the fun and see what the country's top university was like.

Before reporting to school, Wang Gang was busy with moving.

Not only did he have to help Xie Zirun and the others move, he also had to move out and live alone. He had a lot of things to do, and even had less time to see Qin Qian.

Fortunately, as long as they move out, it will be much more convenient for Wang Gang and Qin Qian to communicate privately.

At the end of August, Wang Gang officially reported to Peking University and Tsinghua University. A lot of people went to see him off, making it a very grand ceremony.

He Xiaozhou had been waiting at the school gate early in the morning, and when he saw Wang Gang and the others he immediately waved happily.

"Uncle Xie, Uncle Qin!" He Xiaozhou ran over happily, sweating all over, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

"Brother Xiaochuan." Xie Qiao was also very happy to see He Xiaozhou, but he was also a little shy, and only Wang Gang noticed it.

"Xie Lin, we will be alumni from now on." He Xiaozhou gave Wang Gang a hug.

"Brother Xiaochuan, I'd like to trouble you to help us familiarize ourselves with the campus." Wang Gang laughed.

"You're welcome." He Xiaozhou said with a smile: "I'll take you to the new student registration office first to complete the formalities, and then go to the dormitory. We'll have lunch in the cafeteria at noon, and then go around the campus in the afternoon."

He Xiaozhou was admitted to Peking University a year ago, so he was familiar with the place, so Wang Gang naturally felt at ease and followed his arrangements.

Ever since Xie Qiao met He Xiaozhou, he has been sticking to him, asking about college life and seeming to be longing to study at Peking University and Tsinghua University. In fact, he just wants to stay with He Xiaozhou for a while longer.

Qin Chuan was a little jealous and secretly vowed that he would also be admitted to Peking University and Tsinghua University and would not be separated from Xie Qiao.

Thanks to He Xiaozhou's presence, Wang Gang and his colleagues did not go the wrong way. They completed the registration procedures in less than an hour and rushed to the student dormitory.

Because Wang Gang was the top scorer in the college entrance examination and was relatively young, the school gave him special care and allocated him a double-room dormitory with all tuition fees free for four years.

When the group arrived at the dormitory, Wang Gang's roommate had already arrived. He was a cheerful man from Northeast China, several years older than Wang Gang, a graduate student named Chu Yunlong.

The double room dormitory has a good environment. It not only has two single beds, but also is equipped with a desk and a cabinet. The only drawback is that there is no private bathroom.

"The dormitory is quite big and spacious." Qin Chuan looked around as he entered the dormitory. He wanted to find fault with it, but he really couldn't.

"Qin Chuan, you haven't been to my four-person dormitory. It's much smaller than this one. I'm afraid of bumping into things when I turn around." He Xiaozhou said as he helped Wang Gang put down his luggage.

"Brother Xiaochuan, can you please take us to see your dormitory?" Xie Qiao said with anticipation.

"This may be inconvenient. There are classmates in my dormitory. The weather is hot now and they don't like to wear clothes in the dormitory. It will be inconvenient for you, a girl, to go there." He Xiaozhou said with difficulty.

Xie Zirun said with a smile: "Qiao Qiao, you will be admitted to Peking University and Tsinghua University next year, so you can have a four-person dormitory. Why are you in such a hurry?"

Xie Qiao didn't want to see the four-person dormitory, she wanted to see He Xiaozhou's dormitory. Only Wang Gang noticed the difference, but he didn't point it out. "Brother Xiao Xiao, take us somewhere this afternoon." Xie Qiao said affectionately, holding He Xiaozhou's wrist.

He Xiaozhou has always treated Xie Qiao as his younger sister. They used to do things like holding hands when they were young, but no one took it seriously.

Only Qin Chuan, seeing Xie Qiao holding He Xiaozhou's arm, his eyes almost spit fire, and he hurried forward to forcefully insert himself between the two of them.

"Brother Xiaochuan, let's go to the cafeteria to eat. I'm almost starving. How is your Beiqing cafeteria?" Qin Chuan interrupted.

He Xiaozhou did not doubt him and said, "The food in our cafeteria is pretty good. We'll go after we help Xie Lin clean up."

Father Qin frowned and said, "Qin Chuan, I asked you to come here to visit the Peking University and Tsinghua University campus, not to eat!"

Qin Chuan covered his stomach and said, "We came out early in the morning. I didn't eat much breakfast, so I'm already hungry."

Father Qin said angrily: "Can't you just bear with it for a while?"

Xie Zirun tried to smooth things over, saying, "Well, since the child is hungry, let's go eat first. The emperor doesn't need hungry soldiers."

Qin Chuan said with a playful smile: "Uncle Xie is absolutely right, Dad, we are both fathers, you should learn more from him."

If they weren't outside, Qin's father would have pulled out his belt and hit Qin Chuan a few times.

Wang Gang finally said: "Just put my luggage next to the locker, I will pack it myself later."

Now that the deal was settled, Wang Gang and his group headed to the cafeteria. The Peking University campus is large, with multiple cafeterias. He Xiaozhou found the one he thought was the best and ordered a large table of dishes.

When paying, He Xiaozhou wanted to swipe his meal card, but was stopped by Qin's father and forced to pay in cash.

Qin's father's reasons were very sufficient. How could the elders let the younger ones pay the bill?

Later, everyone sat down to eat happily. Most people were quite satisfied with the food in the Beiqing canteen, except Qin Chuan who was still finding fault.

"The food tastes okay, although not as good as my grandma's, but it's edible. There are just not enough varieties, and there's not even a pancake for sale." Qin Chuan said with a look of disgust.

"Even food can't stop your mouth, why are you eating pancakes?" Qin's father said angrily.

Qin Chuan didn't care either. He turned to Xie Qiao and said, "Qiao Qiao, I think you shouldn't apply to Peking University or Tsinghua University. Let's find a university with a better cafeteria. The food here is average."

Qin's father said speechlessly: "Did you take the college entrance examination just to eat in the cafeteria? You can't get into Peking University or Tsinghua University, so don't make so many excuses. You still want to drag Qiao Qiao into it. I can't beat you to death."

Xie Qiao said with a smile: "Qin Chuan, if you work hard in your last year, maybe you can get into Peking University and Tsinghua University with me?"

Wang Gang also advised: "Qin Chuan, to be honest, you should now consider which path to take in the future. If you want to develop into a sports student, it should be no problem for you to apply to Beijing Sport University.

If you want to get into Peking University or Tsinghua University, you have to give up the sports path and spend the next year preparing for the college entrance examination. You still have a chance."

Qin's father said unconfidently: "Can Qin Chuan do it? He is still more than 100 points away from the score line of Peking University and Tsinghua University, almost 200 points!"

Wang Gang said: "Qin Chuan has been practicing and studying at the same time in the past two years, and his grades have been steadily improving, which shows that he has potential.

Besides, if I can’t get into Peking University or Tsinghua University, it’s good enough to go to a key university.”

Father Qin became thoughtful. (End of this chapter)
