Yi Jiefang came back, bounding back an hour later. There was nothing he could do about it. The campus was huge, and walking took quite a while.

As he walked up the stairs, before entering the dormitory, he heard a group of people noisily discussing which places had delicious food. Without disdain, he smelled the aroma in the air and shouted, "My roast chicken!"

Sure enough, when Yi Jiefang rushed to the stairs, these animals had already eaten a bite of meat each, and only one chicken leg was left.

Wan Dayong glanced at him and pointed at the luggage bag on the ground with a smile. "We're leaving tomorrow. How about having dinner tonight? Or would you mind buying some more wine?"

Yi Jiefang didn't even bother to wash his hands. He grabbed the chicken leg and started biting into it. "I'm exhausted. I'm paying. Who's going? Eat it. I brought it for you anyway."

Ding Datou said unhappily, "You want to get rid of us with such a small amount of things? That won't do."

"Yes, take us out to eat tomorrow after you get the food coupons."

"Are we still good brothers? Are you stabbing your brother in the heart again?"

"I'm reminding you because I'm a good brother. If you can't dodge, you might as well just lie down..."

Zhang Guoqing watched them playing together with a smile, and threw the key in his pocket to Ding Datou, "I also brought some things with me, you can find them yourself."

Ding Datou ran away happily, shouting, "Everyone, go back and look for some food. We can eat the food before we go home."

Suddenly, everyone rushed back to rummage through their boxes and drawers, finding all sorts of jumbled goods. Actually, the combined inventory wasn't much. But the dozen or so young men didn't really care about whether they had enough to eat; they were just there for the fun.

"You are such a wicked boy! You didn't even tell me there was canned meat!"

"Can I explain why I can't bear to eat it myself?"

"Never mind. I'll prove your innocence. Lunch tomorrow."

"I'll come, I can also prove..."

"Go... I'll just be wronged..."

"Whose eggs are they? How can you eat them raw?"

"Speak carefully, don't let people misunderstand..."

On a summer night like this, with everyone about to go home for the holidays, they started to have fun. Their cheerful laughter could be heard from the dormitory building opposite, making the old professors passing by sigh that it was great to be young.

When it was time to rest, everyone cleaned up the garbage and went to wash up, while Zhang Guoqing also went upstairs. When he reached the stairs, he saw several people behind him and shook his head speechlessly.

He jokingly asked, "Are you planning to keep each other warm?"

Yi Jiefang said, "Hush!" and said, "Let's go upstairs first."

There is one advantage in the hot summer: as soon as they come in, they have already found the straw mats, spread them on the ground, and fall down together, even bringing their own sheets.

Zhang Guoqing smiled and spread the mat on the floor. He was no longer surprised by their frequent stays, as they said the feng shui was good here.

After everyone lay down, Yi Jiefang said softly, "Let me tell you something."

After waiting for a long time, several people saw that he still hadn't spoken, so they hit him hard with their legs and arms.

Yi Jiefang quickly pushed it aside and said with a smile, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you, that's enough. I was waiting for you to ask something."

Wan Dayong waved his fist, "Hurry up!"

Yi Jiefang thought about it, sat up, ran to the desk and sat down. The street lights outside cast light through the window onto him, making him look particularly strange.

Ding Datou touched the goose bumps on his arm and said darkly, "You're not going to tell any ghost stories again, are you? Brother, please, can you stop this wild garden?"

Geng Dasheng quickly patted him, "Stop making noise! ​​Listen more and practice your courage."

Yi Jiefang laughed a few times and cleared his throat. "I won't talk about that today. There was a family named Lin in the capital..."

Everyone booed in a very disrespectful manner.

"Just be quiet for now. What I'm telling you isn't a rumor. My mom and the eldest daughter-in-law of the Lin family were colleagues. You haven't forgotten, have you?"

"Let's get to the point!"

"My mom said that Xiaohui's mom had a really hard time. She's been taking care of everything these days. It doesn't matter if she's busy, but it's a pity that she was wrongly accused. If her husband hadn't been quick, she would have almost died by banging her head against the wall.

Before Mrs. Lin's body was even delivered to the funeral home, Shengli's mother, upon returning from the police station, immediately went looking for her grandmother's secret stash of money. Unable to find it, she claimed it was hidden by Xiaohui's mother. It's said that except for Xiaohui and his son, everyone else, including his aunt, believed it and insisted that she hand over the inheritance.

Later, Xiaohui called the hospital and had the guards ask the old man. They learned that the things were all with him, and that was when the matter was finally resolved. "How much money do you think would make the Shengli family cause trouble, even though the old lady's body was still warm?"

Wan Dayong looked at Zhang Guoqing, "Do you have any idea?"

In the darkness, Zhang Guoqing chuckled sarcastically, "I'm not quite sure how much wealth that person has. You still remember how she easily bought 22.6 kilograms of gold, right?"

"Of course we remember this. Didn't your wife donate and get two certificates? Oh, don't say it, I'm so heartbroken."

Zhang Guoqing patted Wan Dayong on the shoulder and whispered, "Be careful, there are ears on the other side of the wall."

Wan Dayong laughed cheerfully and said, "I know. But it seems your mother-in-law's 30,000 yuan salary is gone. It's really a bargain for their family."

Geng Dasheng said in disbelief, "You haven't paid it back in the past two years?"

"Bullshit! Last year, the little guy asked me how many popsicles he could buy with 30,000 yuan, and whether he could go and ask for money himself." After saying that, Wan Dayong thought about how happy he was and laughed out loud.

Ding Datou nudged him, "Have you figured it out? Are you sure you're not stumped?"

"Go, go, go... I told Ping An, he's so young and he didn't understand. I told him he could go to Lao Mo every day and eat until he got married. He immediately covered his chest and cried out, 'Ouch, it hurts, it hurts...'"

Several people burst into laughter after hearing this. This was definitely something that clever kid could do.

Wan Dayong slapped his forehead and asked quickly, "Xiao Wu, did the little one go later?"

Zhang Guoqing shook his head and smiled, "When you said that the other day, he couldn't sit still. When his grandmother got home from work, he grabbed her and asked her to go to the Lin family. Later, his mother explained the origins of the 22.6 kilograms of gold to him. He listened to a lecture about compound interest, half understanding it, and only then did she stop."

Several people burst into laughter again. This time, they were laughing at Zhou Jiao's brilliant compound interest calculation. It's even scarier than loan sharking! They hadn't thought about this before, but after hearing this story, they realized that a lot of textbook knowledge wasn't being properly applied in real life.

Yi Jiefang stopped laughing and said, "I heard that a farewell party will be held in the next two days. When they send out the obituary, will your family go?"

Before Zhang Guoqing could reply, Ding Datou said, "That's nonsense. When other members of the Lin family passed away, Uncle Zhou and his men might have gone over to celebrate. But when this enemy died, it was already quite considerate of Uncle Zhou not to set off firecrackers to celebrate. Why would he go?"

Zhang Guoqing then said, "They didn't come to announce the death either. They should have known what was going on. My mother also committed suicide once. Who in our family would dare to let her go there?"

After that, listening to their conversation, Zhang Guoqing fell into reminiscence. He remembered the first time he met Mr. Lin and his kindness towards him.

He had no intention of studying the old man's character. All he could say was that no matter who he was, his desires were insatiable. The old man had endured countless life-or-death trials, yet he still couldn't see through the fact that many things couldn't be forced.
