Chapter 183
Typically, pets were not allowed in the dormitories, at least not in the most populated undergraduate students’ dorms . For graduate students, some small and quiet pets were allowed . The school was nice about it . Many students felt sorry for the street pets, but they could not break the rules and take them back to their dormitory . Of course, a few especially cute and lucky ones would be adopted and go home with the students .
Old Time Tea smelled cat urine from the wind . There was more than one cat living here . The urine had to be marking their territory .
"Are universities places for study? In my era, there were few . I heard only the best students can continue higher education," Old Time Tea said with longing .
Zhang Zian forced a smile and said indirectly, "Well… In this era, more and more universities are available . The quality of education is also varied . The best students are not the only ones welcome to a university . In fact, anyone can go if they want… College students are not as valuable as they used to be . Look, the two silly kids who work at our store go to school here . I seriously wonder how they got in . Maybe their parents paid extra money for them to go to college? I don’t know . If they are from wealthy families, why do they work in my store?"
Old Time Tea laughed .
Zhang Zian continued, "Of course, more universities are not necessarily a bad thing . Everyone should have the right to go to school, right? Some bad habits and superstitions are eliminated slowly because more people are educated . However, the quality of teaching and students — especially the quality of students — are not comparable to those in your era . "
Old Time Tea agreed because she was disappointed in this new era already . It was true that compared to where she used to live, the current era was way more advanced . People didn’t go to witch doctors anymore when they were sick . They would visit a real doctor instead . Even pets had their own doctor . All of this had happened because of education .
"Zian, are these women all students?" Old Time Tea asked confusedly .
Most of the young kids wandering around the school were students . The freshmen and sophomores still looked quite green, but the junior and senior students already looked no different than those who had already graduated . In Old Time Tea’s mind, a female student should wear a blue shirt, a black jacket and a scarf – exactly how female students dressed in the early 1900s .
Zhang Zian said, "Girls these days are . . . very different than they used to be . "
Old Time Tea remained silent .
Zhang Zian got used to it . Now, everyone seemed to be under a lot of pressure and freedom had become the most precious thing . People could do what they wanted . However, he knew Old Time Tea would not be able to accept these new thoughts .
Various street vendors were all over the outside gate of the university . You could find anything you ever imagined: clothes, snacks, necessities, or cell phone cases . It had become a night market . Street vendors yelled to attract customers . People’s bargaining conversations made it very noisy yet lively . Of course, students were the street vendors’ target customers . Copying and courier services were there because of this university . Binhai City was not a first-tier city, so the street vendor management was not as strict as in Beijing and Shanghai .
At first, Zhang Zian was worried that the road was too crowded for Old Time Tea and she might get hurt . However, soon he found himself overthinking . Old Time Tea could perfectly dodge the pedestrians every time .
Soon, they arrived at the gate of the university .
Zhang Zian zoomed into the electronic map in the game . The flashing circle representing the location of the Elfin as inside the university . He decided to go in .
"Zian, can we walk in like this?" Old Time Tea was confused .
A girl walking by was curious . "I thought I heard a cat…"
