Chapter 203 Returning to Taipei
Back at the military region, Cheng Chi came looking for him.
First, they asked about the exam, and then they got straight to the point.
"Would you and Nuonuo like to come with me to Taipei in two days?"
Li Wanqing was slightly taken aback. Things had happened too suddenly, and there were still many things that hadn't been arranged.
"No," Li Wanqing shook her head, "Time is too short, and there are still many things to take care of."
Cheng Chi thought about it and understood; moving is no easy task.
"I've asked someone to help you pack. Once you leave, you might not be able to come back."
Cheng Baichuan's military status has not been transferred yet, but this courtyard probably won't be kept for much longer.
After all, housing in the family compound has always been in short supply.
Cheng Baichuan went to the Military Academy of Sciences, and Li Wanqing was also going to university; neither of them were in the military region.
The houses should be reserved for those who need them more.
Li Wanqing had thought about this day coming, but now that it was here, she still felt a little sad.
After all, this was the first real home she had since she transmigrated here.
She arranged everything in the yard, from the plants to the trees.
Now that she's leaving, she's quite reluctant to go.
Not long after seeing Cheng Chi off, Li Wanqing went to the military service center.
He Mei has also finished her exams, and from her words, it seems that she and Zhou Weifeng both did well.
"Wanqing, which school are you planning to apply to?" He Mei asked.
Taipei University of International Business and Economics.
"What?" He Mei exclaimed on the other end of the phone. Fortunately, Li Wanqing had anticipated this and held the phone a little further away.
"Didn't you say we'd take the entrance exams for universities in Sichuan Province together? How come you ended up in Taipei?"
"What will I do if you go to Taipei?"
"We can't be together again."
He Mei's voice betrayed a hint of disappointment. She and Zhou Weifeng had probably done quite well on the exam, but getting into a university in Taipei wouldn't be so easy.
“You and Zhou Weifeng could also try applying to Taipei Municipal University,” Li Wanqing suggested.
For future development, Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou will definitely be the best options.
It would be much easier to settle down in Taipei sooner than to become a "Beijing drifter" later.
He Mei hesitated for a long time, and Li Wanqing thought she was about to hang up before she finally spoke.
"I'll listen to you!"
He Mei spoke firmly, explaining that she had listened to Wan Qing's advice, which had given her ample time to prepare for the exam.
As for choosing a university, she was sure to listen to Wanqing's advice.
Li Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief; this year's college entrance examination was quite special.
The country is in dire need of talent as it rebuilds from scratch. As long as you get the required score, there is virtually no risk of failing the exam.
She knew He Mei's background quite well, and as long as she applied to Taipei City, there shouldn't be any problem.
Having decided to go to Taipei, Li Wanqing began making preparations.
Deng Hongmei, Guo Chunxiang, and the Liang family all came to help.
I didn't realize how much stuff I had until I started organizing.
"We're all gone, and I don't know if we'll ever see each other again," Guo Chunxiang said sadly.
Shao Wenzhao's application for demobilization has been approved, and his family will be leaving after the children finish this semester.
Li Wanqing said with a smile, "The city assigned by Commander Shao is not far from Taipei. We can still get together often when we have time."
Guo Chunxiang wasn't so optimistic. It takes a whole day to get there by train, so how could it be close?
After finishing tidying up the house, Li Wanqing rushed to school to fill out her college application.
My first choice was Taipei University of International Business and Economics, and my second and third choices were also universities in Taipei.
The address and contact number on the admission notice are temporarily provided by the military region; Political Commissar Feng will notify her later.
After arranging everything, Li Wanqing took Nuonuo's bundle and went to Taipei.
Li Wanqing chose to arrive by train on Sunday, as Cheng Baichuan happened to be on holiday and could pick her and her daughter up.
After not seeing him for several months, Cheng Baichuan seemed to have gotten a bit paler.
"Spending all day in the server room, how can you not be useless?" Cheng Baichuan said with a helpless expression.
He chose the science and technology corps direction, but because he had no background, he had to learn everything from scratch.
The instructor gave him extra meals and made him spend two more hours in the computer room each day.
By the time we finished our computer lab learning tasks and started physical training, it was already dark, and we couldn't get any sun.
Nuonuo leaned listlessly on Cheng Baichuan's shoulder, "Daddy, I'm tired."
"What's wrong with Nuonuo?" Cheng Baichuan asked with great concern. "Motion sickness?"
"Let's go home first." Li Wanqing nodded, looking rather listless.
They traveled in hard seats this time.
The bus was crowded with people and their belongings, and she was traveling alone with her child. It was a very difficult journey for her.
Not only Nuonuo, but she herself was also struggling to hold on.
Upon returning to her new home and opening the door, Li Wanqing immediately perked up.
"This Comrade Qu is really reliable!"
The layout of the courtyard was just as she had imagined, and even better than she had expected.
The interior is well-organized, and several rooms have been redesigned.
"How much did you pay them? Did you pay them?"
Cheng Baichuan nodded, but his expression was somewhat complicated.
"What's wrong?" Li Wanqing asked.
Cheng Baichuan thought for a moment and then smiled, “This time, Qu Zhe really isn’t reliable.”
"What exactly happened?" Li Wanqing asked curiously.
Nuonuo was already asleep. Cheng Baichuan put her on the bed before explaining to Li Wanqing.
It turned out that Zhao Qingyao knew about Qu Zhe's handling of the house matter, and insisted on following him around, no matter how much they tried to get rid of her.
While Qu Zhe was tidying up the house, Zhao Qingyao kept complaining, wanting to change this and that.
Qu Zhe couldn't take it anymore and yelled at Zhao Qingyao.
Unexpectedly, this shout made Zhao Qingyao cry.
She was in her twenties, crying her eyes out, which terrified Qu Zhe, who didn't know what to do.
Left with no other choice, they had to agree to Zhao Qingyao joining them.
"So this house was handled with Zhao Qingyao's help?" Li Wanqing sighed, realizing that it had ultimately ended up in Zhao Qingyao's hands.
Cheng Baichuan suppressed a laugh and said, "Qu Zhe can't do anything about that woman. He's complained to me about her several times at school."
Li Wanqing frowned slightly and glanced at Cheng Baichuan. "Why do I feel like you're gloating a little?"
"Ahem!" Cheng Baichuan composed himself and raised his right hand. "I swear, I didn't."
Li Wanqing glanced at him indifferently, thinking, "Yeah, right."
Li Wanqing strolled around the courtyard. It had already snowed in Taipei, and there was still a lot of snow in the courtyard.
"Oh no, I forgot to arrange for a heated kang bed."
Winters in Taipei are much harder to endure than in Sichuan Province. Without a heated kang (traditional Chinese bed), how can anyone get through the winter?
"Don't worry!" Cheng Baichuan reassured him, "We'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy electric blankets; we'll get through the winter."
"at the moment......"
Cheng Baichuan turned Li Wanqing's shoulder and said with a serious expression, "Shouldn't we get to know each other better?"
Li Wanqing looked slightly embarrassed. "What are you thinking about in broad daylight?"
Cheng Baichuan smiled and said, "I wasn't thinking anything!"
"After being apart for so long, I deserve a loving hug."
