Chapter 277 You must come back that day
“I’ve made up my mind. I’ll bring her food every day. Shuxin forgets everything as soon as she picks up a book. If we let her have her way, she definitely won’t eat well,” Yao Shula said, sharing her thoughts first.
Miao Yamin quickly waved her hand.
"Alright! Don't worry so much. The more relaxed you are, the more uneasy you will feel. She will feel like she's a burden to you."
And what about the two little ones at home? Aren't you going to take care of them?!
Your little shop just opened, aren't you going to keep an eye on it?
"I've thought of a solution for you, which I think is better than you bringing me food every day." Miao Yamin looked at Yao Shula.
"Cousin, what's the solution?" Yao Shula asked hurriedly.
"You can cook the meals as usual every day, but you need to pay attention to the cooking time..."
If you live at school, you'll definitely eat breakfast in the school cafeteria. Breakfast is pretty much the same as other meals, like porridge, steamed buns, and pickled vegetables.
If you're worried that Shuxin isn't eating well, you can prepare some steamed egg cakes or peach shortbread, or something that keeps well, and put them in my dorm room. Shuxin can have those for breakfast.
If you get hungry when you get home at night, you can eat that to tide you over.
As for lunch and dinner...
Shura, please take a little extra effort this morning to prepare a delicious lunch and pack it in a lunchbox.
I have to go to school to work every day. I leave home at 7:30 in the morning. Just give me the lunchbox.
I have a good relationship with the chefs in the cafeteria. When I go to school, I leave Shuxin's lunchbox at the cafeteria, and the chefs help me keep it warm on the big pot. Shuxin can just pick it up at the teacher's window after her last class.
After finishing their meals, they washed their lunchboxes and put them back at the cafeteria window.
I come back every day at noon, don't I? Please prepare Shuxin's dinner for me to take with me to work this afternoon.
I'll leave it at the school cafeteria. Will Shuxin be able to eat it before evening self-study?
"Isn't this better than you making two trips a day to deliver food?" Miao Yamin said.
Upon hearing this, Yao Shula exclaimed, "That's great! Shuxin can eat well, and I won't have to run around."
"Cousin, thank you so much."
"Okay, I'll buy two cartons of cigarettes and two bottles of wine and deliver them to the head chef at your cafeteria. Otherwise, I'd feel bad troubling him." Yao Shula quickly offered.
Miao Yamin nodded.
"Okay, I'll take you with me when I go to set up the dorm. I'll take you with me."
That's how it was decided that Yao Shuxin would be living on campus.
One Sunday afternoon, when Yao Shuxin was off work, Yao Shula went to the school with Miao Yamin and delivered a net bag full of things to the cafeteria staff.
After delivering the items, Yao Shula, Miao Yamin, and the three younger girls decorated Miao Yamin's old dormitory.
All the major furniture is included; you only need to send over the bedding and other daily necessities.
Yao Shula and Miao Yamin were pushing bicycles, one with a bedding on it and the other with a bag on it.
The bag contained Yao Shuxin's usual changes of clothes.
Yao Shuli was holding two thermos flasks, while Xiao Tiantian was holding a washbasin and a foot basin.
Upon entering Miao Yamin's dormitory, Yao Shula was immediately satisfied after just one glance.
The room was bright and clean, with a desk next to the window and a desk lamp on it. Against the wall was a single wooden bed, so Yao Shuxin wouldn't fall to the ground even if she slept alone.
In addition, there are wardrobes, washstands, and clothes racks!
Yao Shula quickly made the bed, put up the curtains, and then put the things she brought back in their place.
"Put the thermos next to the washbasin stand. There is running water downstairs. You need to get hot water from the water room next to the cafeteria."
You don't need to worry about that. I'll come over after class every day and get you the water.
There are three keys in total. I have one, your sister has one, and I'll give you the last one.
You can stay here in peace.
The alarm clock is placed by the bedside. Go to bed early tonight, okay? The people next door are my colleagues, and I ask them questions from time to time.
"If you stay up late and don't get enough rest, I'll have your older sister take you home to stay, you hear me?" Miao Yamin instructed Yao Shuxin while helping her tidy her clothes.
Yao Shuxin's eyes were red.
"Cousin, don't worry! I will definitely study hard!"
"I didn't tell you to study hard, I told you to rest! Listen to me! Your grades are already very good, just keep it up."
From now on, I'll deliver the lunchbox your sister prepares for you to the cafeteria every day. I just took you there, and you've met the head chef.
Remember to eat on time. After you finish eating, wash the lunchbox and put it back. I can bring it back after I get off work in the evening.
The people living next door are all teachers. No matter who asks you, just say she's my cousin, and don't worry about anything else.
You don't need to worry about the water or electricity!
Miao Yamin went on and on.
Not only Yao Shuxin listened attentively, but Yao Shula and the two younger ones also listened attentively.
Yao Shula noticed that Miao Yamin seemed to have changed a bit after getting married; she seemed more enthusiastic and more caring.
In the past, when she came to talk to Yao Shula, it was always about what was going on in someone's family or what fun things were happening somewhere.
Now...
She's becoming more and more like an older sister, and more and more like the head of the family.
Yao Shula lived next door and knew almost everything about the Zhou family.
As soon as Miao Yamin got married, Grandma Zhou gave her all the money she had saved, and Zhou Ping'an also handed over all his salary.
In the Zhou family, Miao Yamin was in charge, and she made all the decisions.
"Cousin, thank you so much. Please be sure to tell me how to pay the water and electricity bills..."
"Don't worry about it, these will all be deducted from my salary. We'll talk about it after Shuxin finishes her college entrance exams."
"I'm at school. If Shuxin needs anything, just come to me. You can worry about those two kids down there." Miao Yamin interrupted Yao Shula.
Yao Shula had no choice but to temporarily avoid bringing up the topic.
...
And so Yao Shuxin officially started living at the school.
When Yao Shula took Yao Shuli and Xiao Tiantian back, Xiao Tiantian held Yao Shuxin's hand and gave her some advice.
"Second sister, I know you will definitely study hard. Besides studying hard, don't forget about us."
My birthday is next Sunday, remember? You absolutely have to come home for dinner!
“Okay, Second Sister will definitely go back. Tiantian, what gift do you want?” Yao Shuxin asked with a smile, pinching Tiantian’s cheek.
"I don't need anything, just that you're back!" Xiao Tiantian waved his hand.
