Chapter 258 School Opening
Zhao Zhaodi stepped into the courtyard with great joy, greeting Zhao Sanhai, who was chatting with Zhao Yuan in the yard, with a big smile on her face.
No sooner had he finished speaking than a series of hurried footsteps were heard. It turned out that Gou Dan had immediately put down his book and excitedly rushed out of the study upon hearing the familiar voice in the yard.
As he walked, he excitedly shouted:
"Zhaodi, Laidi, you're finally back!"
Running up to them, Gou Dan greeted his two friends enthusiastically.
"Dog Egg! Long time no see!"
Zhao Zhaodi also happily went to greet them, her eyes sparkling with joy.
Not to be outdone, Zhao Laidi quickly stepped forward and said:
"Brother Dog Egg!"
The three children were overjoyed to see each other, as if time had turned back to their carefree and happy childhood.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, they held hands and ran off to play.
After all, they were close childhood friends who had grown up together. Even though they hadn't seen each other for a long time, their deep friendship hadn't faded at all. Soon, they were playing together as enthusiastically as before.
Meanwhile, the younger sisters, Zhao Yina and Zhao Nana, were quietly playing their own little games, not bothering their older siblings who were catching up and playing.
Before we knew it, the sun was gradually setting in the west, and night was quietly falling.
When wisps of smoke rise from the chimneys, it means it's time for dinner.
Everyone sat around the table, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the sumptuous feast.
Soon, a steaming pot of fragrant hot pot mutton was served on the table.
The tender and juicy slices of meat, paired with various delicious seasonings, exude an irresistible aroma that makes your mouth water.
Looking at the large bowl of delicious-looking hot pot mutton in front of him, Gou Dan couldn't help but feel a little awkward.
At this moment, Lin Fangfang, who was sitting next to him, seemed to sense his thoughts. She quickly reached out with her chopsticks and kept putting meat into Gou Dan's bowl, while gently comforting him in a soft voice:
"Dog Egg, don't be shy! Feel as comfortable here as you would at home. From now on, this home in Beijing will be your second home! You can come back anytime on weekends."
Hearing these kind words, Gou Dan felt a warm glow in his heart, and his original restraint vanished instantly.
So he smiled and nodded, and began to fully enjoy the warm and wonderful dinner.
"Okay, thank you, Aunt Fangfang."
Dog Egg Zhao Bo smiled and said in a clear voice.
As time went by, his tense body gradually relaxed, flowing naturally like a river thawing in spring.
At this point, Gou Dan began to vividly recount the interesting little things that had happened in the village.
His words, like lively musical notes, danced in the air, eliciting bursts of cheerful laughter from those present.
The laughter mingled together, like a beautiful symphony, echoing throughout the room.
Sitting to the side, Zhao Sanhai was also infected by the joyful atmosphere. With a big smile, he raised his glass and toasted Zhao Yuan and Lin Fangfang:
"Zhaoyuan, Fangfang, I have complete peace of mind entrusting Gou Dan to your care!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuan laughed heartily and replied:
"Third Brother, don't worry! If Gou Dan encounters any problems in the capital, he can come to us for help anytime."
After saying that, he raised his glass and lightly clinked it against Zhao Sanhai's, then drank it all in one gulp.
At this moment, the atmosphere at the dinner table became even more harmonious, with laughter and cheerful conversation rising and falling, as if taking people into a world without worries and anxieties.
The next morning, sunlight shone through the thin clouds, falling softly onto the earth and draping everything in a golden veil.
Zhao Sanhai and Gou Dan Zhaobo shouldered their luggage and embarked on their journey to school together.
Along the way, the two chatted and laughed, with Gou Dan filled with curiosity and anticipation for the new environment that was about to begin.
Zhao Yuan drove the father and son to the school gate. When they arrived, they saw that the campus was bustling with people.
Students came and went, some walking in groups of three or five, others hurrying along alone, their faces radiating youthful energy and vitality.
Looking at the scene before him, Zhao Sanhai couldn't help but recall the dreams he had cherished in his youth.
Back then, he, like these children, was full of boundless dreams for the future.
Time flies, but that original aspiration remains deeply buried in my heart.
Thinking of this, a wave of emotion welled up in his heart.
Finally, the father and son arrived at the Academic Affairs Office.
The staff warmly welcomed them and carefully verified Zhaobo's relevant information.
After confirming that everything was correct, the staff member smiled and told Zhao Sanhai:
"Everything is ready. You can go directly to your dormitories and settle in now."
Zhao Sanhai and Zhao Bo carried their heavy luggage to their dormitory.
As soon as I entered the dormitory, the few young men who had already arrived greeted me warmly, all with friendly and bright smiles on their faces.
Zhao Bo was a little shy in the face of this sudden enthusiasm, but he still responded to everyone's greetings in a demure manner.
As Zhao Sanhai was about to leave the dormitory, he gently patted Zhao Bo on the shoulder and earnestly advised him:
"Dog Egg, you must study hard here! If you encounter any difficulties, don't be shy, just go to your Uncle Zhaoyuan and Aunt Fangfang, understand?"
Upon hearing these words, Zhao Bo's eyes welled up with tears. He nodded emphatically and replied in a firm voice:
"Well, I remembered it!"
Zhao Sanhai walked slowly out of the dormitory building, turning back every few steps to look at Zhao Bo, who was still standing there watching him go. His figure gradually disappeared into the distance, finally vanishing around the corner of the campus.
At this moment, Zhao Bo still stood quietly on campus, his gaze fixed on the direction Zhao Sanhai had left in. That familiar figure seemed to carry countless hopes and care.
He secretly vowed to himself that he must study hard, strive for continuous progress, and shorten the gap between himself and Zhao Zhaodi as soon as possible.
After seeing Zhao Sanhai off, Zhao Bo took a deep breath, turned around, and resolutely immersed himself in the hopeful and unknown university campus life.
Everything here was so new and exciting for him. He was filled with dreams and was about to start a new chapter in his life here.
Zhao Zhaodi, carrying her schoolbag, rode her bicycle alone and stepped into the solemn and beautiful gates of Tsinghua University with great anticipation.
