Yi Qingqing quickly and simply washed her body. Then she filled her saline bottle with hot water and covered it with the quilt to warm it. After that, she went out with the three empty saline bottles in her pocket.
Her roommates were so enthusiastic about studying that she had to send the things out quickly and get back to studying!
She went to Li Mengxue’s room in 302 first. When she knocked on the door, she heard a noisy sound.
After knocking, she peeked inside. The room was a mess, and there was a child crying, so the people inside didn’t even notice she was there.
“Is Li Mengxue here?” Yi Qingqing called out.
Li Mengxue poked her head out from the bed: “Qingqing? I’m here, wait a moment!”
Li Mengxue got out of bed and ran out. The two of them went to the corridor outside.
“This is the saline bottle that Aunt Guan gave me.”
Yi Qingqing handed the bottle to her.
“Have all your roommates arrived?”
Li Mengxue was now admitted to a prestigious university in Beijing, completely different from the one in the original book. Yi Qingqing didn’t know if the other party would encounter similar awful roommates as in the original novel, so she asked.
“They’re all here. Everything else seems fine so far, but there’s one person who brought a child. The child cries a lot, which is very noisy, but there’s nothing we can do. She was an educated youth sent to the countryside and married a local villager, but she only had a daughter. The place is very patriarchal, and she was tortured so much that as soon as the college entrance examination was resumed, she divorced her husband and got in.”
Li Mengxue sighed.
Although the child’s crying was bothering her, she really didn’t have a better solution. Everyone seizes this opportunity to change their life; it’s a hardship caused by the times.
The person had been quite apologetic at first, so she’d just have to bear with it for now.
“How’s your dorm? Is everything okay?”
“It’s great. The study atmosphere is very strong.”
Yi Qingqing added, “Everyone seems to really cherish the opportunity to learn.”
Li Mengxue was a little confused: “The books haven’t even been distributed yet, so what kind of study are they having?”
“Most of the people in my dormitory are from the Foreign Languages Department, so they’re all working hard to memorize words.” Yi Qingqing said.
“I’m not talking to you anymore. I need to hurry up and deliver the bottles to Lailai and Lingling, and then I’m going back to study.”
Li Mengxue: “…”
I’m speechless!
“Let me go with you to deliver the bottle and see how Lailai and Lingling are doing.” Said Li Mengxue.
Anyway, it’s still early, and she can’t sleep.
“Okay!” Yi Qingqing unceremoniously handed over one of the saline bottles to her.
Good sisters should share the burden!
Qian Lailai’s dormitory room 310 seemed much quieter and more harmonious. At least when she knocked on the door, she could only hear people talking in the room; it wasn’t noisy at all.
After Qian Lailai came out, Li Mengxue also asked her, “Are you getting along well with your roommate?”
“They’re alright. One of them is very capable of leadership; she organized us into setting dormitory rules as soon as she arrived. With rules in place, things are much easier.” Qian Lailai said.
“That’s good!” Said Li Mengxue.
Then they went downstairs to where Wang Lingling was.
After Wang Lingling came out, she excitedly told them, “I was especially smart today. When everyone was talking about their family situations, I only said my family is from Hai City, and that I used to be sent to the countryside in Northeast China. I didn’t say anything else. I didn’t flaunt my wealth, but I didn’t pretend to be poor either. I’m pretty frugal now anyway, so I don’t need to pretend. There’s a girl from Beijing in our dorm who looks like she comes from a wealthy family, so everyone’s attention was on her. Didn’t that save a lot of trouble?”
