Chapter 50: Harbin Institute of Technology! An academician professor…… Here I come!
If I continue to maintain this efficiency... wouldn't it be that while others normally only have time to finish an undergraduate degree, I could directly go on to graduate as a Doctor?
Just thinking about this possibility, Li Mingyang couldn't help feeling a little excited inside.
Graduating early, with study efficiency so fast it's flying— isn't that just the usual move for those world-famous geniuses?
And now, I've unknowingly become one of them— just thinking about it is really exciting!
……
Son, when you're out and about, remember to spend money where you should, and never shortchange yourself.
Although our family's money has basically been spent clean, at least we still have your father's salary and your mother's shop still open.
Our family's ability to make money is still not weak; as long as you don't waste, your parents can still support you a lot.
Looking at his parents standing before him, nagging over and over, Li Mingyang couldn't help but feel a black line sweep across his forehead.
Other people's parents, when their kids go to college, will send them to school even if it's far away, or at least to the airport or train station.
My own parents, on the other hand, just sent me to… the doorstep of our home!
They claim it's to train the child's independence, but really it's just that these two old folks are too lazy to move, plus Li Mingyang is indeed mature and sensible, putting people at ease.
Then after the two of them discussed and added it up, they simply decided not to send me, which is why this somewhat comical scene occurred.
I know, I know—I'm not a little kid; could I possibly lose myself?
But you two old folks at home had better remember what I told you earlier.
Our old house must be renovated as soon as possible; the plot has basically been bought, and it's over 2,600 square meters.
If we don't seize the time now, later there may really be no chance— it could very well be a matter of these two years.
Then there's our shop— honestly, this place is really too small.
Even though the old house will be built later and we won't live here much more, at least it shouldn't stay like this, right?
Since we still have some spare cash, we might as well add another floor, making it a three-and-a-half-story building.
By then, the second floor will be designed as a living room, dining room, and kitchen!
Although our foundation area isn't large, this design is still fairly reasonable.
As for the third floor, we'll make it two bedrooms plus a bathroom; as for the half-story on the roof…
It could be designed as a resting tea room, plus a bit of study function, and equipped with a bathroom; by then having two bathrooms would still be sufficient.
Compared to that, as I've become increasingly mature and sensible, my parents have become increasingly unreliable.
At such a critical moment, Li Mingyang still appears quite reliable—not because he's talkative, but because he's really worried.
If I don't constantly remind them, these two old folks might just forget all these things!
After all, since my College Entrance Exam results came out, these two old folks have been either busy showing off or on their way to show off.
As for my arrangements, if I hadn't repeatedly reminded them, those two wouldn't even remember there's such an important thing to do.
……
The transportation Li Mingyang chose is fast; in Ice City, which is the provincial capital, Li Mingyang only needs to take a direct bus to the provincial capital.
Then I can just take a plane straight to Ice City!
All together, it's just about half a day's effort to get there; if luck is a bit better and the schedule is tighter.
From my hometown's town to my school, it's only about six or seven hours altogether.
But it's much better than when Li Mingyang studied in his previous life.
In his previous life, he also attended university in the north, except the school was in a small city of a prefecture-level municipality, so even flying required back-and-forth transfers.
Without a whole day, you can't even think of going back home or getting to school!
September is the hot season, but that's relative to my hometown; once Li Mingyang steps off the plane at the airport, the first thing he feels is a burst of cool autumn breeze.
Unlike back home, after arriving in the north, one can clearly feel the distinct changes of the four seasons.
Although it's only early September, the roadsides already have golden-yellow fallen leaves; with Li Mingyang wearing a short-sleeve shirt and sports shorts, it really feels a bit cold!
But fortunately, Harbin Institute of Technology still places great importance on this student Li Mingyang, whom they went to great lengths to recruit.
They had already contacted Li Mingyang early on and confirmed his flight time.
When Li Mingyang had just walked out of the airport, he saw several middle-aged men who looked like leaders, holding up big signs with his name, as if afraid he wouldn't see them.
"Li Mingyang classmate, welcome to our Harbin Institute of Technology; you must be tired after a day's journey? I'll take Li Mingyang classmate to your dormitory."
They didn't even need Li Mingyang to lift a finger; those leader-like men simply and neatly shoved his suitcase into the trunk.
Looking at this red flag car, even Li Mingyang couldn't help but scratch his head— this thing… doesn't seem quite right, does it?
Is a car of this rank something I'm even allowed to ride in?
But following the principle of keeping questions to myself if there's any problem, Li Mingyang didn't say much and just silently rode in the car to the destination.
Then… he was shocked again.
I originally thought the so-called single dormitory would just be a separate room partitioned out for me in the student dormitory building.
He really hadn't expected that the school had actually prepared a teacher's apartment for him.
Although it's a typical single-occupancy apartment layout, the area isn't large— at most around 40 to less than 50 square meters.
But the sparrow may be small, yet it has all five viscera; the design of one room, one hall, one bathroom is better than what Li Mingyang had previously imagined—who knows how much better it is!
