Accidentally entered a high gate

Ma Lifeng took a bite and then looked at the other three people.

The other three: "..." Is this guy trying to get them all to give him a pancake too? Oh well, he's kind of pitiful. Besides, someone who can come and go from the dorm so freely and is dressed so neatly is probably some professor's child. A few years ago, professors and their children...

The more the three of them thought about it, the more they felt sorry for Ma Lifeng.

then,

Ge Xinmin gave Ma Lifeng a handful of walnuts.

Lu Zhengping gave Ma Lifeng a handful of beef jerky.

Tang Chunsheng gave Ma Lifeng two peach shortbreads.

After packing, Ma Lifeng took another bite of the sesame seed cake before taking out his newly acquired student ID and household registration booklet from his chest pocket and handing them to Wei Xuejun, Ge Xinmin, Lu Zhengping, and Tang Chunsheng. "Brothers, your observation skills need improvement. I have sharp eyes, speak clearly, and think logically."

After Wei Xuejun, Ge Xinmin, Lu Zhengping, and Tang Chunsheng looked at Ma Lifeng's student ID and household registration booklet, they were surprised for a moment before rushing towards Ma Lifeng. "Give me back my sesame seed cakes/walnuts/beef jerky/peach shortbread!"

……

As soon as Yuan Xueyi arrived at the dormitory with his luggage, he saw Wei Xuejun and the others besieging Ma Lifeng. Ma Lifeng was dodging while eating a sesame seed cake.

Yuan Xueyi: "..." He didn't seem to have applied to a military academy, did he? "Hello...you guys! Are you...are you having a friendly sparring match?"

Wei Xuejun, Ge Xinmin, Lu Zhengping, and Tang Chunsheng all didn't want to admit they were mistaken. "Yes! You're in this dorm too?"

"Um. Could you... could you please stop for a moment? I... I want to put something inside."

Wei Xuejun: "Okay."

Ge Xinmin: "We've had enough of our exchange."

Lu Zhengping and Tang Chunsheng: "Yes."

The four stopped fighting after they finished speaking. They realized they couldn't even get close to Ma Lifeng, let alone take back what they had given away.

Yuan Xueyi: "..." So easy to talk to? "Thank you! My name is Yuan Xueyi. I'm twenty-two years old, and I used to work in a textile factory."

Ma Lifeng: "Hello! My name is Ma Lifeng. I am 29 years old. I have worked in the countryside and as a factory worker. I have four children, and my wife also works at our school."

As Ma Lifeng spoke, he handed over his student ID and household registration booklet.

Yuan Xueyi was surprised after reading it. "Brother, you...you don't even look as old as me."

Ma Lifeng took his student ID and household registration book back. "The reason I look younger than you is because I married a good wife. Are you married?"

"no."

"And you?"

"My name is Wei Xuejun. I am twenty-six years old. I went to the countryside after graduating from high school. I am married. My wife is from the brigade where I was sent to the countryside. My wife and I have a daughter. My daughter is two years old."

"My name is Ge Xinmin. I am twenty-five years old this year. I also went to the countryside after graduating from high school. I am also married. My wife was a sent-down youth. My wife and I have a son. My son is just eight months old. My wife also took the college entrance examination this time, but unfortunately she didn't pass."

"My name is Lu Zhengping. I'm twenty-four years old. I went to the countryside right after graduation. I'm not married yet."

"My name is Tang Chunsheng. I'm twenty-three years old. I went to the countryside right after graduation. I'm not married."

After the introduction, Wei Xuejun looked at Ma Lifeng and asked, "Why didn't you bring any luggage?" The reason they thought he was crazy was not only because he didn't look like Twenty-Nine at all, but also because he didn't bring anything.

"It must be tiring to carry your luggage around, right? I left it in my wife's dorm. There are two other people in our dorm, and I'll take you to meet my wife when they arrive. My wife is smart, virtuous, and beautiful. I'm from Beijing. If you want to go out and have fun, I'll take you."

Yuan Xueyi: "Thank you, brother. You're so kind."

Wei Xuejun, Ge Xinmin, Lu Zhengping, and Tang Chunsheng: "..." What a load of rubbish! They lied to us the moment they arrived. "Thank you!"

Wei Xuejun: "Do you know where the Hero Stone is?"

Ge Xinmin: "Do you know where I can buy review materials? I want to buy some and send them to my wife. The main reason she didn't pass the exam this time is because she just gave birth and hasn't recovered yet."

Lu Zhengping: "Do you know which restaurant serves roast duck that's both cheap and delicious?"

Tang Chunsheng: "Do you know where the Summer Palace is?"

Yuan Xueyi: "I...I want to go to Fragrant Hills."

……

As soon as An Fujun and Fu Shaohua arrived at the dormitory, they saw Ma Lifeng and Wei Xuejun chatting and eating sunflower seeds like country women.

The melon seeds were provided by Yuan Xueyi.

An Fujun and Fu Shaohua: "..." Their dorm is really lively. "Hello! You...you...we're from the Philosophy Department. You...you too, right?"

"Okay." Ma Lifeng waved to them. "Come in quickly, you two are the only ones missing. My name is Ma Lifeng..."

As Ma Lifeng spoke, he took out his student ID and household registration booklet.

Wei Xuejun, Ge Xinmin, Lu Zhengping, and Tang Chunsheng complained about Ma Lifeng's differential treatment, while also finding the large age and appearance gap quite troublesome.

After seeing Ma Lifeng's student ID and household registration book, An Fujun and Fu Shaohua were both surprised and convinced that Ma Lifeng's family must be very well-off. Otherwise, they wouldn't have four children and still look like they just graduated from high school.

"Hello! My name is An Fujun. I am twenty-two years old. I used to be a sent-down youth on a farm."

"Hello! My name is Fu Shaohua. I'm also twenty-two. I used to work in a machinery factory."

Wei Xuejun and his colleagues also introduced their situation.

After they finished their introductions, Ma Lifeng said, "Come on, let me take you to meet my wife. She's smart, virtuous, and beautiful."

Wei Xuejun, Ge Xinmin, Lu Zhengping, Tang Chunsheng: "..." You don't praise your wife to everyone you meet, do you? If you do, we'll suspect you're being forced to.

Yuan Xueyi: "..." Brother Ma and his lover have a really good relationship.

An Fujun and Fu Shaohua: "..." Is this what people mean by "beauty is in the eye of the beholder"?

When Ma Lifeng brought Wei Xuejun and the others over, Zheng Chunfang and her roommates had also arrived.

Besides Chu Xiaomei and Tian Aihua, the other three are named Cao Ximei, Jiang Huizhen, and Pan Liandi.

None of the girls in their dorm were married except for Zheng Chunfang.

Chu Xiaomei and Tian Aihua are both 23 years old this year, and they are both former educated youth.

Cao Ximei is twenty-two years old this year. Cao Ximei used to be a worker.

Jiang Huizhen is twenty years old this year. Jiang Huizhen used to be a primary school teacher.

Pan Liandi is eighteen years old this year. Pan Liandi originally planned to go to the countryside after finishing high school, but she didn't expect that the college entrance examination would be reinstated before she finished high school.

Zheng Chunfang was telling Chu Xiaomei and the others about the best places to eat and have fun in Beijing when there was a knock at the door. "Come in."

A girl pushed open the door and walked in. "Is there a girl named Zheng Chunfang in your dorm? Her boyfriend brought her and the rest of the dorm over. Her boyfriend asked if you'd like to make friends with them? If so, come downstairs with her."

Male students are generally not allowed to enter female dormitories. Even if they are, there are time restrictions. That's why Ma Lifeng left as soon as he put his things down.

Zheng Chunfang smiled at the girl. "Thank you, I am Zheng Chunfang."

The girl said "You're welcome" and left.

After the girls left, Zheng Chunfang was about to ask Chu Xiaomei and the others if they wanted to go downstairs?

Chu Xiaomei and the others then took Ma Lifeng's luggage and went out. They already knew from Zheng Chunfang that Ma Lifeng was a philosophy major.

Philosophy is a great major.

Those who can get into the philosophy department are the cream of the crop.

Zheng Chunfang: "..."

Zheng Chunfang strongly suspected that the reason her man brought his roommates over was so that they would help him carry his luggage.

When Ma Lifeng saw Zheng Chunfang and the others come down, he led Wei Xuejun and the others to greet them.

Given that Ma Lifeng's appearance was significantly different from his actual age, Wei Xuejun and the others couldn't guess which of the women was Ma Lifeng's lover.

Ma Lifeng introduced Wei Xuejun and his wife to Zheng Chunfang and the others. During the introduction, Ma Lifeng specifically emphasized that Wei Xuejun and Ge Xinmin were not only married, but also had children.

After he finished his introduction, Zheng Chunfang introduced them to the people who would be introducing their dormitory.

After getting to know each other, they chatted for a bit and agreed to have lunch together at the cafeteria before heading back to their dorms.

Ma Lifeng came empty-handed, and he left empty-handed as well.

When Wei Xuejun and the others heard Ma Lifeng praising Zheng Chunfang, they all felt that his words were exaggerated. After meeting Zheng Chunfang, they all began to envy him.

At noon, the two dormitories ate together. Both dormitories wanted to get to know each other, so the atmosphere was very harmonious.

After dinner, Wei Xuejun and his friends, along with Chu Xiaomei and the others, returned to their dormitories. Ma Lifeng and Zheng Chunfang, on the other hand, went for a walk by the lake.

Zheng Chunfang complained to Ma Lifeng about how she was the oldest, yet she was the youngest in her dorm. "Are you the youngest in your dorm now too?"

Ma Lifeng pulled a handful of dried meat from his pocket and divided it into two portions. "I subdued them as soon as I arrived. I want to go into politics in the future. Everyone in our department is a shrewd and cunning person, and I'm going to use them as practice subjects."

Zheng Chunfang: "..." She had guessed wrong. "I thought you would take the opportunity to let them take care of you."

Ma Lifeng also wanted to. But, "I'll be thirty soon. When my eldest and second eldest brothers were thirty, they each had tens of thousands of men under their command."

"You want to follow in the footsteps of your eldest and second eldest brothers?"

"Um."

"Then you keep moving forward, I'll take care of the logistics."

"Okay. Do you know where this dried meat comes from?"

……

The couple took a walk for a while and then went back to their dormitory.

After the school and department welcome meetings were held in the afternoon, the counselors took their students back to their classrooms.

Back in the classroom, the counselor first introduced himself, then said a few words of welcome and encouragement before letting the students come up to the stage one by one to introduce themselves.

When it was Ma Lifeng's turn, he had just said, "Hello everyone! My name is Ma Lifeng," when he was interrupted by the counselor. "You're Ma Lifeng?"

"Yes." Ma Lifeng looked at his counselor and smiled, "I've been working in the publicity department of Shougang for the past few years, and everyone at Shougang knows me."

Counselor: "..." Looks like it's not an imposter. "Please continue your introduction."

"Okay." Ma Lifeng briefly introduced his experience. "Counselor, did you consider making me class monitor because you saw in my file that I not only worked in the countryside, but was also a Party member, married, had children, and was a model worker? It turns out I have a baby face."

"Counselor, please don't exclude me from the list of class monitors just because I have a baby face."

"If you think I look too young, I'll find some beard to stick on."
