"Vice Principal Yan, you are so busy, but I am fine anyway! The main thing is that I have to go back to my hometown tomorrow and I am very anxious!" Li Xiangnan smiled gratefully.

"You're going back tomorrow? Luckily I asked someone to write your admission letter first. The admissions process has been going on in the past few days. I knew you were in Yanjing so I didn't ask anyone to send it to your home in advance! I was also planning to wait for you to come back from Sanduhe so I could send it to the factory hospital for you!"

"Vice Principal Yan, I'm really sorry to trouble you!"

Li Xiangnan opened the notification letter and took a look. The words of congratulations, the admitted major, and the principal's message were all handwritten.

Seeing that he was slightly distracted, Yan Song smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Your major is biology at Yanda. Is that okay with you?"

"It's okay, we discussed this in advance!" Li Xiangnan waved his hand, not caring at all.

Pointing to the packed document bag, Yan Song reminded again: "There are some things to note when you report. Go back and read them carefully! I look forward to seeing you at school!"

After saying that, he patted Li Xiangnan heavily and suddenly smiled, "Xiao Li, you must have a good rest during this period. When you come to school... you will have to undergo a one-month military training! This will be recorded in the student file, so you can't let it down!"

Li Xiangnan felt bitter, but he still nodded and said, "Vice Principal Yan, I'm already prepared!"

Li Xiangnan was well aware of the military training history of Yenching University. When he was admitted to the Yenching University Medical School in later life, he had already participated in military training, but it was short-term at that time, not even as long as a month.

In fact, this year's military training has been improved. Before last year, we all went to the army for training.

From 78 to 85, I was trained in school, and then I went to the army for a few years. I even had to spend a year of special training around the 90s.

All of these are aimed at training students' will and cultivating military skills.

"Okay, I'll visit you when you come back from your hometown!"

After saying goodbye to Vice Principal Yan and walking out of the school gate, I saw Lin Youwei staring at the school gate in a daze.

The gate of Yanda University is very ethnic in character. It is a classical three-door vermilion-painted palace gate building, which is very antique.

"What are you looking at?" Li Xiangnan walked over and knocked on her head.

"Ah... nothing, it's just that the gate of our school is so beautiful! I can't wait to go to school!"

Hearing her say this, Li Xiangnan smiled slightly and shook his head, saying, "Then let me tell you something. I'm afraid you're not that eager about it anymore?"

"How could that be? What's the news?"

"Vice Principal Yan said that we will have a month of military training when school starts!"

"Ah?" Lin Youwei took two steps back and stared at Li Xiangnan seriously for a while. She found that he was very sincere and didn't seem to be joking at all.

After thinking for a while, she immediately regained her composure, "Then I'm not afraid either! If you don't believe me, just touch me and see if I'm hard or not."

Seeing her stretching out her arm, Li Xiangnan poked her jade-like skin suspiciously and said in a daze, "What's wrong? It's quite hard!"

"Of course!" The girl raised her head proudly, "Now I am filled with a will as strong as steel! No difficulty can defeat me!"

"..."

The two of them played for a whole day and were in a very good mood.

They parted in the evening. After going to Yenching Library to pick up the bicycle, Li Xiangnan sent Lin Youwei to the vicinity of Jingshan Park.

"You agreed that day that we would go out and play when we get back, so don't go back on your word!"

Lin Youwei held the handlebars, and as if she had thought of something, she took out a small notebook from her bag, wrote a string of phone numbers on it, and said:

"As soon as you get back, give the reception desk a call and I'll get back to you right away!"

"Okay!" Li Xiangnan didn't hesitate. He took her pen and wrote down the phone number of the factory hospital's communication room. "This is the phone number of my communication room. If you want to find me later, just call here! I'm very close!"

"Then I'm leaving. Go to bed early tonight. It's so early tomorrow..."

"Don't even think about seeing me off! It's too early!" Li Xiangnan laughed and answered quickly.

"Then be careful on your way! I'm really leaving!"

Lin Youwei slowly turned the front of the bike around, but didn't rush to ride it. Instead, she walked slowly along the side of the street.

There are many housing estates in the south, but she didn't let Li Xiangnan take her home.

Li Xiangnan was also very tactful. He just stood at the three-way intersection, watching people go away until they finally disappeared around the corner.

Then he got on his bicycle and rode towards Nanluoguxiang.

The journey home was not far. When he was almost home, he turned the bike around and rode back until he reached the vicinity of Courtyard No. 11.

After finding the house number, he went straight into the courtyard house which looked unremarkable from the outside.

"Uncle, which room does Wang Defa live in? I'm his friend!"

Seeing an old man playing with birds in the yard, Li Xiangnan walked up to him, lit a cigarette and asked.

"That one! The one with the red shorts hanging at the door!" The old man smiled and pointed.

"Thank you!" Li Xiangnan curled the corner of his mouth, thanked him quickly, locked his bicycle, walked to the front of the house and saw smoke coming out of the chimney of the stove. He smiled and pushed the door open without knocking.

Wang Defa was sitting at the octagonal table eating noodles and picking up some oil residue from a glass jar with chopsticks. When he saw Li Xiangnan come in, he quickly shouted "Fuck!" and stood up.

"Why are you here?"

He pulled the person in, then stuck his head out to look, and asked in confusion: "Huh? Didn't you go out to date someone today? Why are you here? You're back just after get off work?"

"What kind of person are you dating? You praise me so much every day! Just an ordinary friend. I just parted ways with someone and came to see you when I passed by! What are you eating?"

Li Xiangnan smiled, walked to the table and sat down.

Wang Defa ran to the door, took out a cigarette from his trouser pocket and gave it to him, "I'm eating noodles!"

"Hey, there are still some oil residues. You know how to live!" Li Xiangnan smacked his lips while holding a cigarette in his mouth.

It’s different from the later times. When ordinary people buy meat, they especially like to buy fatty meat.

Take it home and refine the oil into lard, which will be especially delicious when used in cooking.

Even if you scoop a spoonful of lard and mix it with rice, it will still be extremely fragrant.

Don't underestimate the oil residue left over from oil refining. Mix it with salt and it will be delicious. It can also be made into a dish, which can be preserved and satisfy your craving.

Wang Defa smiled and said, "You haven't eaten yet? I'll make you some noodles! The conditions are a bit simple, and I can't compare to your many dishes. I can only eat the oil residue!"

"That's great. I'd better obey your command. Sorry for the trouble!" Li Xiangnan did not refuse. To put it bluntly, he really came here just to have a free meal.

Afraid that the noodles would clump together, Wang Defa picked up two pieces of oil residue and put them in the bowl. He quickly slurped up his dinner and immediately went to make noodles for Li Xiangnan.

"Sit down for a while and take a break!"

"Ok!"

Li Xiangnan was smoking a cigarette and then looked around Wang Defa's house.

As expected, there was no one else in the room.

The grandfather that the fat man mentioned was not seen, and there were no other members of the family either.

The house was not very big. There were some scattered furniture in the main room, with a door on the east and west sides.

The door sill on the left is shiny and greasy, so I guess it should be Fatty Wang's bedroom.

The room on the right is full of miscellaneous items and doesn't look very large.

In terms of area, it is actually smaller than Li Xiangnan's own home, but with only Wang Defa living there, it seems a little empty.

Although the house is clean, the placement of items seems to be haphazard.

"Hey, Fatty, be good. Your old man is really good. He has so many military medals!"

There were some black-and-white photos hanging on the wall above a square chest of drawers, and a number of red seals were pressed on the glass underneath. Li Xiangnan exclaimed when he stood up and took a look.

"My grandfather used to be a military doctor!" Wang Defa smiled proudly.

"That's amazing!" Li Xiangnan nodded, but then his eyes froze.
