The modern me and the Republic of China her

Chapter 174 Impressions
Unlike the well-established Yenching University, which is recruiting in autumn, the newly established Beiping Women's Higher Normal School is recruiting students for the first time this year.

Although it was established with the purpose of cultivating new women and has attracted a lot of attention in the society, it is difficult to ignore the fact that it is small in scale and has weak teachers.

But it has become the hope in the hearts of female students all over the country who pursue ideals and knowledge.

In a patriarchal society, how much they look forward to the opportunity to go to university. The fees of normal schools are not high. Compared with the prohibitive cost of studying abroad, it is the most economical choice.

As soon as Zhu Juanjuan sat on the chair, several students came to hand in materials and asked around her.

"Teacher, is it true that only forty people will be recruited this time?"

"The document stipulates that there should be no more than forty, and the specific situation will be determined according to the results of the test."

"Is there any scope for review?"

She shook her head, "It's just the basic knowledge of six years of middle school, it's not difficult."

"We came from other places and didn't bring so many books, so we were in a hurry."

Zhu Juanjuan was soft-hearted, and seeing the candidates speak pitifully, he gave them a little hint.

"The key is the textbooks for the last two years."

As a teacher, she could only help them up to this point, and if she continued, she might give up.

Seeing that she was so eloquent, the candidates around rushed over like a tide.

Zhu Juanjuan came last, but she was the most popular.

Right now, the sign-up line was endless and meandering, and they all lined up directly on the lawn downstairs.

Looking at these enthusiastic female students, I was pleasantly surprised and anxious.

At noon, Qi Jiang and Qi Lan will be entertained, so she looks forward to going back early to see if the dishes are prepared enough.

In order to finish her work as soon as possible, she collected the materials of two students at the same time, her left and right hands were not idle, and one more person could sign up at the same time.

Just as she lowered her head to review the materials, a boy's voice sounded in the corridor.

"Teachers, is the registration deadline this morning?"

All the teachers and candidates present were stunned: Why are there men recruiting women's universities? !

The dean who was in charge of the enrollment arrangements stood up with a serious face, and reprimanded the boys who hurried upstairs.

"Seeing that you are well-mannered, you should be able to read and write. Have you seen the big sign and banner at the school gate? We recruit girls, don't mess around! You have to go to Yenching University if you want to enroll, and only boys are accepted there!"

The innocent Li Jianhua was ridiculed the moment he stepped into the campus.

He didn't come to make trouble, but to intercede for his sister.

Li Caiwei didn't feel well at night, she went to the clinic for an injection, and she hasn't gotten up yet.

Since the registration time was only half a day in the morning, Jianhua was so anxious that he had to brazenly venture into the girls' school.

His face was flushed, and he rubbed his hands with his head down, as embarrassed as if he had been caught on the spot.

After listening to the criticism patiently, I said timidly: "Teacher, I'm sorry, I blame me for not explaining clearly... I want to ask for a little more time for my sister. She is sick and resting, so she may not be able to come in the morning."

When the dean heard this, his face became even more ugly: "Are you still picking and choosing when you apply? Look at the candidates around you, who is not queuing up early in the morning. Go back and tell your sister that if you want to apply, you will arrive in the morning, and everyone will be there in the afternoon." I want to go home, no time!"

Jianhua retreated downstairs helplessly, and looked upstairs with regret.

Zhu Juanjuan sympathized with the conversation between him and the dean.

She walked into the hallway and looked downstairs, meeting Jianhua's eyes.

This face looks so familiar... She suddenly remembered the photo in her bag.

After three years, Li Jianhua's appearance has not changed much from that of junior high school, and Zhu Juanjuan, who has seen the group photo, recognized him at a glance.

"His friend, I will definitely help."

She waved at Jianhua generously: "Please wait a moment, I have something to tell you!"

Li Jianhua saw a gentle and elegant girl running towards him, and his heartbeat was out of rhythm.

Zhu Juanjuan looked younger than his actual age, wearing the same style of dress as Caiwei, which made him mistakenly think that she was also here to sign up.

"Hello, classmate. What's the matter?"

"I'm not a student, but a teacher. Our school's registration time is only half a day, and we won't wait after the deadline."

He was in a hurry, "My sister won't come until noon at the soonest. Is it okay at noon?"

Zhu Juanjuan sighed, "Noon is our off-duty time."

Jianhua begged her to help her to say good things, and gave her a grace period until noon or afternoon.

She thought about it and asked him to go back first and come back at noon.

Jianhua thanked her gratefully and went back happily.

Zhu Juanjuan went to the dean with heavy steps and said everything in his heart.

"Juanjuan, why do you plead for this stranger? What if you break the rules? What if the principal blames you?"

She continued to plead until the leader relented.

"You stay alone and wait. After noon, if you haven't signed up, go back. There is no need to accept Miss Jiao."

She continued to be busy, and all her colleagues left work earlier than her.

After the last student signed up and left, she was so tired that her eyes were sore and her stomach was hungry.

But there was still no one at the stairway.

Wait a little longer, Qi Jiang and Qi Lan probably finished eating and went home.

Zhu Juanjuan walked to the faucet, turned on the water to wash his hands, and was about to eat a few biscuits from the office.

As soon as she opened the biscuit box, she heard someone running in a hurry on the stairs. She casually put the lid on the box and came out again.

Li Jianhua arrived at eleven o'clock with Caiwei on his back.

Caiwei asked her brother to put it down, carried her bag and walked along the wall for a while, and came to her.

"Hello, teacher. Sorry, I'm late."

"Student, what's your name?"

"It's the same as "Caiwei" in the Book of Songs."

After Caiwei handed in the materials, she took out a box of snacks from her bag.

"Thank you for waiting for me, please accept."

Zhu Juanjuan saw that the box was exactly the same as the one she saw in the ward last night, and it was made by a well-known and time-honored pastry shop in the south.

"If you accept it, I won't accept it, just eat it yourself."

After Zhu Juanjuan finished speaking, he set up the tables and chairs, picked up his bag and prepared to leave.

Jianhua was very sorry, stopped her and said, "Good teacher, thanks to your help today, we just came from the south yesterday. We brought a total of three boxes of snacks, and we gave away two boxes, and only one box is left. I hope you don't dislike it."

She had the bottom line in her heart and guessed that the mysterious boy was from Jiangnan.

However, this female student surprised her.

Since she is his friend's sister, she must know each other.

He also gave him snacks, so the relationship must be good.

Could it be...that kind of relationship?
Just as she was thinking, Li Caiwei also asked about the scope of her exam, just like the flexible candidates before her.

"Teacher, you made me feel very kind when I saw it. May I ask what reference books do I need to buy this time? Is there still time to finish reviewing for the New Year's exam?"

Zhu Juanjuan is not a narrow-minded person. Seeing that she signed up with illness, she thinks her spirit is commendable.

She took out her pen, scribbled on the notebook, made an exception and made a book list and handed it to Caiwei.

"The above books, the ones with the red line are read intensively, and the rest should be read roughly when you have time."

Jianhua is very grateful for her willingness to help others.

Before he left, Zhu Juanjuan couldn't help asking: "Do you and your sister have a fixed place to live?"

"Our uncle lives in a mansion in the north of the city, but he is not used to going there, so he stays in the inn to study."

"Oh," she looked at Caiwei quietly, and asked in a low voice, "Are there any acquaintances or friends?"

Jianhua answered frankly: "Yes. My junior high school classmate is staying here for a while."

Zhu Juanjuan almost forgot that there was someone listening beside him.

"Temporarily? You mean he will leave Peking?"

Li Caiwei glanced at her with some surprise in his eyes.

Zhu Juanjuan quickly added: "If you need help, you can come to me."

Jianhua was flattered and said: "I don't dare to bother you. If I can be admitted to Yenching University, I can take care of my sister. You can talk to me about anything."

Caiwei took her brother's hand: "We have to buy books quickly, teacher, take care!"

Zhu Juanjuan has been deeply impressed by her ever since.
