In the next few days, Wang Jianxin rode his bicycle and sometimes took his sister out for a walk.The younger sister, Lili, was the happiest. She sat on the back seat of the bicycle, holding her third brother's waist with both hands, and kept chattering along the way.

They have been to the Summer Palace.The water of Kunming Lake is green and translucent, and the Buddhist Incense Pavilion on Wanshou Mountain shines golden in the sun.There were not many people in the corridor, just tourists in twos and threes, walking and stopping.Lili ran around in the corridor, counting the paintings on the pillars. She got confused and started counting again.

Been to Beihai Park.The white tower was reflected in the water, the boat was floating on the lake, and someone was singing "Let's Swing the Oars".Wang Jianxin rented a boat and took his sister for a row on the lake.Lili put her hand into the water, stirred up the water, and giggled.

We also went to Temple of Heaven Park.The blue glazed tiles of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests are beautiful in the sunshine. There are not many people in front of the Echo Wall. Lili stands at one end and calls "Third Brother", and Wang Jianxin can hear clearly from the other end.

We also went to Xiangshan Park, but unfortunately the leaves were not red yet.The mountains are full of green, lush and a little less interesting.But Lili didn't care. She was sweating profusely while climbing the mountain, but she didn't complain about being tired.

After going to Jingshan Park and climbing to the Wanchun Pavilion, you can overlook the entire capital.The yellow glazed tiles of the Forbidden City are connected one after another, the courtyards with gray bricks and gray tiles are densely packed, and the Western Mountains in the distance are hazy.Lili lay on the railing, pointed down and said, "Third brother, is that our home?" Wang Jianxin looked in the direction and said, "It's about the same, over there."

Wang Jianxin himself also visited the Badaling Great Wall.The Great Wall was open to tourists at this time, but there were few tourists, which made it even more primitive and ancient.He climbed up alone and stood on the beacon tower, watching the Great Wall winding between the mountains like a giant dragon.The wind was strong, making the military uniforms rustle.He thought of the barbed wire fence on the grassland, which also stretched to the horizon.One is a man-made defense line and the other is an ancient city wall, both used to resist foreign enemies.He stood for a while before coming down.

The happy and warm days passed quickly.Every morning when I wake up, I can hear my mother cooking in the kitchen, smell the fragrance of millet porridge, and hear Niuniu babbling in the next room.The younger sister Lili pestered him to tell stories, and he told about things on the grassland, about gazelles, wolves, and horseback riding.Lili was fascinated and said that she would go to the grassland when she grew up.

Time flies and comes to August 31st.

This morning, Wang Jianxin put on his military uniform. The four-pocket cadre uniform was washed clean and the collar badges were neatly decorated.Pack everything you need to bring - a backpack, a canvas bag, and a mesh bag for toiletries.His mother stood at the door and looked at him, her eyes red, but she didn't cry.

"Mom, I'm leaving." Wang Jianxin packed his luggage and picked up his things.

"Study hard when you get to school and don't worry about home." His mother adjusted his collar and patted the dust on his shoulders.

"I got it, Mom."

The father went to work, the eldest brother got out of the car, and the second brother also went to the factory.The elder sister-in-law held Niu Niu and escorted him to the gate of the courtyard. Niu Niu waved to him: "Uncle - uncle - bye -" Little sister Lili pulled the corner of his clothes and said, "Third brother, when will you come back?"

"Come back when you have time. You will start school soon. Go to school and study hard."

"Yes." Lili nodded, tears welling up in her eyes but not falling.

Wang Jianxin left the alley and got on the bus.The school was at No. 38 Xueyuan Road, Haidian District. It was not close, and the bus drove slowly for almost an hour.

When he arrived at school, Wang Jianxin first looked for the registration place.The campus is not small, with green trees and several red brick buildings lined up, which looks quite impressive.He found the department orientation station - several tables were placed at the entrance of the teaching building, covered with white cloth, and several officers from the Military Control Commission were sitting there.

Wang Jianxin walked over and handed over the admission notice.A female officer took it and looked at it, then looked up at him - wearing a military uniform, carrying luggage, with a straight back.

"Classmate Wang Jianxin, please show me your letter of introduction to the group." said the female classmate.

Wang Jianxin took out the letter of introduction from his pocket and handed it to her.She checked it, registered it in the book, and then called an officer from the Military Control Commission to come over.I took Wang Jianxin to the department office, completed the identity check, and received my student certificate.

"Your dormitory is in Room 206, Building 4, room six. Here is the key." The clerk handed him the key.

Wang Jianxin took the key and asked, "How many people are there in the dormitory?"

The clerk said: "Six-person rooms and ten-person rooms, you have special arrangements here, six-person rooms."

Wang Jianxin nodded and didn't ask any more questions.Maybe because he is an officer, maybe because he has performed first-class merit.In any case, a six-person room is much better than a ten-person room.

He carried his luggage and found Building 4.The building is not new, with gray brick walls, wooden doors and windows, and the corridor smells of disinfectant.Go up to the second floor, find room 206, open the door and go in.

The dormitory is not big, about twenty square meters.Three two-tiered iron frame beds were placed against the wall, with a long table in the middle and six benches surrounding the table.The walls are painted with white dust, and the skin is peeling off in some places. The windows are old-fashioned wooden windows, and the glass is relatively clean.

The lower bunk by the window was empty, and the other five bunks were all covered with bedding.Wang Jianxin walked over and put his luggage on the bed.

He made the bed first.He took out the mattress from his backpack and spread it out. The sheets were tightened and the four corners were tucked under the mattress.The quilt was folded into tofu blocks and placed at the head of the bed. The hat was buckled on the quilt, and the armed belt was hung on the iron frame at the head of the bed.The action was clean and neat, and it was done in less than five minutes.

Then he took the toiletries out of the mesh bag, arranged the toothbrush and toothbrush, put the towel on the edge of the basin, and placed them under the bed.

The other five people's things were also laid out, and their toothbrushes were lined up in a row.
