There was a barber shop on the side of the road, and he said, "I want to get a haircut." The last time he had a haircut was two months ago. He was very busy before and after the college entrance examination and had no time, so his hair has grown long now.

Su Qingmeng: "I'm going to get a haircut too, cut my hair short." She didn't want to wear those tacky pigtails anymore.

Lin Xiuyao touched her long hair, feeling a little reluctant to let it go. She looked especially beautiful when she lay in bed with her hair loose at night. "Long hair is good, why did you cut it short?"

"I'm busy with school. Long hair is not easy to dry, which wastes time." Su Qingmeng cut her hair into a bob with bangs, which is quite cute and looks like a middle school student.

After returning home and putting down the things they bought, they took a nap. Since they had nothing to do in the afternoon, Su Qingmeng said, "Let's go to the scrap yard to pick up some bargains."

They went to two nearby scrap yards and bought a bunch of junk. Neither of them knew much about antiques, so they bought any bottles and jars that looked a bit old, as they were inexpensive. They also knew about valuable wood, so they bought quite a bit, along with stamped envelopes, ancient books, and paintings. They bought everything they saw.

The gatekeeper saw how much they were buying and asked about it. Lin Xiuyao said, "We just moved in and are in need of everything. Buying everything new is too expensive. Wouldn't it be better to buy the old ones to save money? Could you please weigh them for us?"

Su Qingmeng also looked at the old man with sincere eyes. The old man weighed them and charged 10 yuan.

They entered the second scrap yard separately and each took half. The aunt at the gate didn't ask any questions.

When they reached the entrance of the alley, the grandmother next door asked them, "Why are you going in and out and buying a bunch of junk?"

Su Qingmeng politely replied, "Auntie, we just moved in and need to buy a lot of things. The scrap station has cheap things. We'll go back and clean up. Please stay here!"

Seeing them enter the yard, the old lady curled her lips and said, "They are college students, from other places, and poor."

The two "poor" men began to clean their spoils, wiping the porcelain and wood, cutting up the stamps, and flipping through the ancient books, all written in traditional Chinese. Su Qingmeng could barely make out a recipe book on medicinal herbs and two cookbooks. Her appreciation of calligraphy and painting wasn't good enough to tell whether they were valuable.

After everything was sorted and put into the space, Su Qingmeng suggested, "Let's go eat fried tripe. I saw a restaurant selling it on the way back."

She had eaten it when she was traveling to Beijing in modern times. She liked it very much and could not forget it. The shredded tripe was crispy and tasted very delicious when paired with sesame paste with chives and coriander. She ordered a bowl of tripe soup and a sesame paste sesame cake, and the two of them were full quickly. There were quite a lot of people in this restaurant, and from the accent they all spoke, they were all locals. No wonder it was so delicious.

On the way back, they met a vendor selling candied haws on a bicycle. Su Qingmeng shouted, "Hey, buy two strings of candied haws." The vendor handed the candied haws to them and said, "Two cents a string."

Su Qingmeng gave the money and the two continued to ride home. Lin Xiuyao asked, "Isn't anyone arresting us now?"

Su Qingmeng bit a hawthorn, which was sour and sweet, and relieved the greasiness. "It should become looser and looser. Try it, it's delicious."

After eating the candied haws, Su Qingmeng began to sew a quilt. In case she was not allowed to go to school as a day student, she made two sets of single quilts in preparation.

They were returning from a shopping trip to the scrap yard when they passed by the entrance to Peking University and noticed quite a few people. Today, the 20th, was the day to register for school. Su Qingmeng went in and asked the new student receptionist, who said they would all need to live on campus.

When Lin Xiuyao heard the bad news, he was depressed and could not sleep with his wife in his arms at night.

Su Qingmeng comforted him, "Live here for half a year first. Living on campus will help you develop relationships with your classmates." After all, many of your classmates at this time will become powerful people in the future. "Let's see how the situation is next semester. I think you can go to school as a day student." The school does not have many dormitories, and the next class will have more students, so there will definitely not be enough accommodation.

"Okay," Lin Xiuyao said, "Get in the car, go home first, and come back tomorrow."

He gave Su Qingmeng a good beating that night. Initially, Su Qingmeng was understanding and willing to let him do what he wanted, but the bastard kept pushing her too far. She passed out, and when she woke up the next day, she was furious. "Lin Xiuyao, you're going too far! We have something important to do today!"

"Honey, I'm sorry. I'm a little excited at the thought of parting with you." Lin Xiuyao accompanied her carefully and gave her a massage. "Today, you can just sit on a stool. You don't have to do anything. Let me do everything."

After making some noise on the kang for a while, they got up to eat and went out at eight o'clock.
