Back to 1984: Let's Work Hard Together to Raise The Kids!-Chapter 300: Grand Display of Power

Everyone listened and knew the dangers involved. If Fang Yin hadn’t held herself back, she wouldn’t have gotten to this day. In this light, Lin Qin and Chen Wenjun indeed have the grace of a second chance towards her.

The couple accepted Fang Yin’s thanks and inquired about her current situation.

Fang Yin replied with a smile, "After graduation, I married my current partner. He is a retired soldier and works at the University of Science and Technology. He was originally the head of the Security Department at the university, and later transferred to the Security Department of the provincial capital university, where he is still the head. His name is Zhao Gaojie. I’ll have him come over to meet you all later so that everyone gets acquainted.

If you have any issues in the future, you can directly contact him, he knows all about the school."

Lin Qin didn’t expect this unexpected benefit and quickly asked Xu Xinyi to come out to meet Fang Yin. With this connection, they wouldn’t have to worry even if Xu Xinyi stays in the dorm by herself.

Before long, Zhao Gaojie arrived.

He was aware of his wife’s past and was obviously more excited than Fang Yin when meeting Lin Qin and Chen Wenjun.

For men, talking means drinking.

As a result, a few bottles of wine were opened at the dining table, leading to Chen Wenjun, Xu Dahai, and Lin Yi staying to drink.

The others accompanied Xu Xinyi to the dormitory building.

When they reached the entrance of the girls’ dormitory and saw Tang Jing coming from the opposite side, everyone burst into laughter.

At this moment, Tang Jing also noticed Chen Xinyue and the others and quickly trotted over, "Why are you all here?"

She looked around and finally focused her gaze on Xu Xinyi, "New student this year?"

Chen Xinyue nodded and introduced, "My cousin; the whole family accompanied her to register."

Tang Jing immediately gave a thumbs up, "That’s quite a lineup!"

"Let’s go, let’s go! Which dorm are you in? I’ll lead the way for you."

Lin Ying pushed aside Xu Jian, who was blocking the way, and warmly linked arms with Tang Jing, exchanging pleasantries, "Last time, my restless child injured you. I’ve been wanting to come and see you."

Tang Jing chuckled helplessly, "Auntie, it’s nothing, really a minor issue. How are you still remembering it! I’m all good, really! You needn’t say anything about the two of them anymore."

Xu Jian and Xu Kang eagerly looked at her, nodding forcefully in agreement.

Lin Ying pretended not to see them.

When they went upstairs to Xu Xinyi’s dorm room, a large group of people directly occupied the room.

The three freshmen who arrived first were startled, eyes wide open.

Xu Xinyi awkwardly smiled at them and introduced herself, "Hi, I’m also in this dorm. My name is Xu Xinyi."

The three smiled back warmly and introduced themselves in turn.

Lin Ying had a good first impression of the young girls and quickly placed down some local specialties brought from home, sharing a bit with everyone.

Lin Qin was surveying the empty bed near the door, pondering, "There’s quite a lot to buy, like a straw mattress, bed set, mosquito net, bed curtains, small fan, desk lamp, small table, power strips, all need to be purchased anew, and more..."

Lin Qin listed a whole lot in one go.

Tang Jing then supplemented, "Also, we should get some insect repellent and sunscreen. When it comes to military training, it’s no joke, umbrellas for sun protection, those can be handy for going to and from classes, toiletries, etc."

The two of them announced in turns, and Xu Jian busily took notes on the side.

After finishing, he went over it again to make sure nothing was missing and suggested, "I’ll go out shopping now. Does my little sister want to come along?"

Lin Ying glared at him reproachfully, "Your sister just got to school and hasn’t had a chance to chat with her roommates. Go where? You go yourself!"

Saying this, Lin Ying glanced at Tang Jing and politely requested, "Xiao Jing, could you assist my silly son to buy things? You’re familiar with this place, you know where the best bargains are."

Tang Jing nodded, "No problem! I’ll take him."

Lin Ying was delighted, and watching her antics made Chen Xinyue want to laugh, though it was not the right time to tease her.

While Tang Jing and Xu Jian went shopping, Lin Ying sent Xu Kang to carry water and help clean the beds, seats, and cabinets, ensuring they were spotless.

Xu Kang was indeed a PE teacher, moving as fast as the wind with a particularly nimble touch at work.

Xiao Jinlin saw the women sitting and resting and felt awkward standing still. So he supported Chen Xinyue to sit down and spoke gently, "Should I go outside and buy some fruit or snacks? What do you want to eat?"

"Can I have a popsicle?" Chen Xinyue pleaded.

Xu Xinyi chimed in, "Brother-in-law, I want one too, I want ice cream."

"I want watermelon."

"Buy me some pineapple."

"Then I want a Coke!" Xu Kang interjected.

Xiao Jinlin nodded and headed out.

Lin Ying used her eloquence to inquire about the three roommates of Xu Xinyi.

This chat lasted for over half an hour.

Xiao Jinlin soon returned with a bag of popsicles and ice creams, plus a bag of pre-cut iced watermelon and pineapple, a bag of assorted drinks, and finally, a large bag of small cakes.

Both hands full of goods.

Xu Kang quickly went over to help.

Lin Ying handed out ice cream and popsicles, letting Xu Xinyi’s three roommates choose.

The cakes too.

All of these looked quite pricey.

Xu Xinyi’s three roommates exchanged a look, becoming increasingly warm and friendly towards her.

During the conversation, everyone finished eating, and the bed was dry.

Xu Jian and Tang Jing came back with a pile of shopping.

The two bought Xu Xinyi two straw mats, with one laid at the bottom and a more expensive latex mattress on top, followed by a cooling mat, the mosquito net, and blackout curtains were also the best available, looking like they’re in a different league.

Fortunately, the other dorm mates were already aware of Xu Xinyi’s well-off background, so they had no comments upon seeing these items.

When the dormitory was set up, it was already past four in the afternoon. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Lin Ying dawdled, reluctant to leave, casting glances here and there, muttering to herself.

Until Xu Dahai and the others arrived.

Lin Ying saw him reeking of alcohol and glared at him before leaving decisively.

Xu Dahai lingered at the back, looking at Xu Xinyi with reluctance, earnestly advising, "Dad talked to your Uncle Zhao, if you encounter any issues at school, you can find Uncle Zhao, I have his contact info, remember it, and call him out if you run into him.

Also your Aunt Fang, she’s overseeing your freshman class, with your aunt here, Aunt Fang will surely look after you."

Xu Xinyi was speechless, teasing, "Dad, how come you didn’t mention Sister Tang, she’s our class advisor this year."

Xu Dahai laughed heartily, "Then I’m relieved! Alright, Dad is leaving, the cruise ship probably can’t stay docked too long, study well, if you want to come home just say the word, Dad will pick you up no problem."

"I know!" Xu Xinyi made a funny face, escorting Xu Dahai out.

The remaining three roommates looked at each other.

"What did I just hear? Did he say... a cruise ship? Does it mean that?" Xu Xinyi’s bunkmate Chen Dandan looked bewildered.

The adjacent bed’s Anna also appeared as if she had seen a ghost, "It shouldn’t be, right? That’s too exaggerated! What’s the deal with our roommate?"

One could tell from the earlier conversation between Xu Xinyi and her father that they have connections at the school, many of them!

But this still doesn’t mean anything.
