“Oh, summer vacation is so great! Then I can go to Fragrant Hills and climb the Great Wall with Ah Yuan.” Yi Qingqing said with a touch of mischievousness.
“Don’t you medical students have even longer reading lists than we have? And you still have time to go out and have fun?” Li Mengxue said, adding that even though her umbrella was torn, she still wanted to get soaked in the rain with her friends.
“We’ve basically read all the books on the reading list this semester, far exceeding the requirements of the list.” Yi Qingqing said, suppressing a laugh.
“Right, Ah Yuan?”
“Yeah, we’ve read them.” Yun Guyuan immediately chimed in, supporting his partner as she teased her girlfriend.
“…”
Li Mengxue’s eyes were filled with resentment: “I think I’m going to start hating certain smart people from today onwards!”
“Haha!” Yi Qingqing laughed heartily.
Then she feigned sorrow and said, “Sigh, Comrade Big Gold Flower hates me now. I’m afraid dinner tonight is—”
“You promised to cook dinner tonight! You can’t go back on your word!” Li Mengxue quickly interjected.
Her wonderful summer vacation had been ruined by a reading list; she couldn’t let this last delicious meal be ruined again.
“But don’t you hate me?”
“Who hates you? I hate certain people—note, certain smart people. How could that include you? I like you more than I can handle!”
Li Mengxue resolutely broke her promise, refusing to bow down for five pecks of rice, but what lay before her was far more than just five pecks of rice!
“Hahaha!” Yi Qingqing laughed until her stomach hurt.
What a lively character Li Mengxue was!
Upon arriving at Li Mengxue’s house, everyone divided the work and busied themselves with great enthusiasm.
Yun Guyuan led the men in collecting tiles and repairing doors and windows, while the women swept and dusted the house and pulled weeds in the yard.
“Three years ago, when we first arrived at the educated youth point, we also cleaned up our living quarters in the same way. Watching the dilapidated house gradually become full of life, we felt a great sense of accomplishment. I still miss it now! I wonder who benefited from those perfectly good houses after we left.”
Qian Lailai, watching everyone working, suddenly sighed.
“No more educated youth are going to the countryside now. Those who went to the countryside have gradually returned to the city. The prison-like huts in the educated youth point are empty. In less than a year, they will fall into the same dilapidated state as when we first went there. No one will benefit from this.” Li Mengxue said.
She only missed the lively days when everyone lived together at the educated youth point, but she didn’t miss that tiny mud-brick house at all, which had poor lighting and the dust was never completely swept away.
“I just can’t bear to part with my own little home that I’ve decorated and cared for!” Qian Lailai said.
She said, “When I saw the small courtyard you bought, I also wanted to save money to buy a house. Although I couldn’t buy one as big as this, I could save up and buy a smaller one, like the small house without a yard that we used to live in at the educated youth point. But then I thought about it and realized that it wasn’t worth it. I might as well wait until I graduate and start working, and then my work unit will allocate a house for me.”
“You can’t say that,” Li Mengxue said.
“Money in your hands will only decrease if you leave it there. It’s better to use it to make money from buying a house!”
Li Mengxue was constantly trying to persuade her girlfriends to save money to buy houses.
At this time, employers would still allocate housing, and there were still quite a few people who had the idea of buying a house.
But who could have imagined that housing prices would rise so high in the future?
If you buy now, you won’t have to worry about retirement at all. It’s much better than a fixed salary from a job. With a house in the capital, everyone will be a millionaire or multi-millionaire in the future.
