On the way back.
Su Xiaoqi received a call from her mother.
The sound is very loud.
Like a roar.
She could even imagine her parents yelling at their neighbor, Grandma Liu, on the phone.
They rarely call for fear of not being heard.
Gumula Village is such a very backward place.
The outside world has changed dramatically, but the village seems to have remained unchanged.
Ancient and small.
"I've found a tutoring job. The parents are very satisfied. I'll start tomorrow and I'll go home in two days." She held her phone and finished what she wanted to say as quickly as possible.
Otherwise, if the parents stayed on the phone for too long at Grandma Liu's house, she would be unhappy.
"Okay, let's eat. It's hot outside. Don't run around. I'm afraid you'll get sick. Eat on time. Your dad and I don't have much. We have everything at home. Don't spend money on buying things for us." Mother Su shouted loudly.
"Hang up, almost hung up, just finish talking, no more words, Xiaoqi called if there's something, your grandma Liu is calling us." Dad Su grabbed the phone and hung up after he finished talking.
Mother Su was wearing new slippers, and Father Su was also wearing new slippers. Mother Su was reluctant to wear their clothes because the material was too good. She thought her daughter might have underestimated the price, as the material would cost at least a hundred yuan.
But two pairs of shoes are enough to make the couple happy.
After making a phone call, he sat down and chatted for a while, and showed off the slippers his daughter bought before going home satisfied.
After the people left, Grandma Liu's daughter-in-law grumbled, "That girl Xiaoqi is really cunning. She made Su Quezi and his wife so happy just by buying them two pairs of plastic slippers. Now, they're going to have to work themselves to death to support her college education."
"You woman, just stop talking nonsense. Xiaoqi at least got into college, but you couldn't even get into high school." Grandma Liu's son scolded her.
When Xiaoqi returned home, it was late again. He walked all the way to his aunt's dormitory. His aunt had already eaten and went upstairs to work.
She not only cleans the floor, but also sometimes works part-time as a caregiver for some patients at night.
Xiaoqi first went to the ward to find his aunt, told her that he was back, and then went back to the house.
When I went back, a bunch of bananas were stuffed into my hand, given by the patient's family.
When she heard her aunt say that she was a student of No. 1 Middle School, she praised her.
Xiaoqi fled in panic.
Her aunt kept the food warm in the rice cooker and let her take it out and eat it herself.
I made fried rice in the evening with the leftovers from lunch, added eggs, and had some seaweed soup.
Su Xiaoqi walked for a whole day and saw that her step count had reached 20,000. She was very tired. She didn't usually exercise so much, so she was very hungry. She found the food and ate it directly.
When she was enjoying her meal, Lin Min came.
Lin Min's hair was wet, he was wearing a sports vest and shorts, and holding a bucket in his hand. He must have just come back from taking a shower in the ward.
She stuffed her mouth with food and wanted to say hello, but she couldn't open her mouth.
She swallowed her food only after watching Lin Min wave to her and pass by her.
I drank the soup again and choked again, starting coughing.
Lin Min didn't expect to see Su Xiaoqi when he came back from taking a shower. She changed into a pair of glasses, revealing most of her face, which made her look much prettier than usual. She was eating voraciously, looking extremely hungry, with puffy cheeks on both sides, which made people want to laugh.
Su Xiaoqi coughed for a while and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the other person enter the house.
Startled.
I quickly finished eating, cleared the dishes, and was so tired that I lay down on the bed with my arms and legs spread out. I could hear the clicking sounds from my waist.
My aunt went to take care of patients at night and usually slept directly in the ward. She originally wanted to take a shower before going to bed, but she fell asleep as soon as she lay down.
When she opened her eyes again, it was already daybreak.
She rubbed her legs and felt sore and tired. She didn't want to get up at all.
I thought about being lazy for a while, but my mind clearly remembered the English article I read yesterday, if I could go back to my childhood.
Maybe because of the interview, I remember this article particularly clearly.
The first point mentioned is that you should cultivate your perseverance and not give up just because things are difficult and troublesome.
Yesterday I decided to go to the library, so I should have gotten up and gone for a walk. Most of the day passed by lying down, and I still had to go tutoring in the afternoon.
Thinking of this, she got up quickly and didn't stay in bed any longer.
"The host has successfully overcome his habit of staying in bed. This is a good start to progress. I will reward you with a ten-day good manners buff."
Su Xiaoqi didn't expect that she would get a reward just for getting out of bed early in the morning.
It couldn't be better.
Full of motivation, she grabbed some clean clothes and went out and upstairs to find her aunt.
There is only one public washbasin in the dormitory on the underground floor. If you want to take a shower, you can only go to the ward. There are some high-end wards on each floor with bathrooms where you can take a shower.
He took a quick shower and changed into a grey T-shirt and khaki knee-length shorts.
She washed the clothes she was wearing and went back to the basement. Her aunt had already bought breakfast for her.
My aunt is busy in the morning, so breakfast is steamed buns and side dishes from the snack bar in front of the hospital, and I cook the porridge myself.
"Aunt, I'm going to the library this morning. I probably won't be back for lunch. I'll be tutoring in the afternoon. I'll be back in the evening. My dad bought me a cell phone. Aunt, please save my number."
"I don't know how, can you help me save it?" Aunt handed me the phone.
Xiaoqi saw that his aunt's mobile phone was the oldest model of smart phone that she had never replaced, and the phone numbers stored in it were very messy.
There is her daughter Feifei. She had helped set up a shortcut key before, so you can just press 1 to make the call.
There are also calls from my third grandmother and my aunt's mother. Press 2 to make the call.
She also set a shortcut key for her phone, so she can call by pressing 3.
Let my aunt try it.
My aunt pressed and held 3, and sure enough, her phone rang.
"That's convenient. When you go to college, I can call you." Aunt said with a smile.
Her daughter is three years younger than Xiaoqi and is at the rebellious age. Except when she asks for money, she usually ignores her.
"Okay, call me if you miss me, auntie." Xiao Qi finished drinking the porridge before replying.
The aunt looked at her niece and suddenly said, "Xiaoqi, you look a little different today. You seem to have grown up. I wish Feifei could be like you."
Xiaoqi didn't feel that she had changed much, but she seemed to have gained a buff of good manners, which forced her to be careful, like not talking while holding food in her mouth.
The sitting posture seems to be more upright.
I didn't notice these differences before. After all, she is young and looks good even if she is not elegant.
But after paying attention to your manners, there is a clear difference.
My aunt hadn't finished her meal when her cell phone rang. The nurse on the first floor called her to work. She hurriedly took a steamed bun and left.
My aunt is very heavy and her whole body seems to be shaking when she runs.
Xiaoqi continued to eat. She also wanted to eat quickly and just take a few bites, but her body couldn't help but feel an urge to eat slowly and sit in a dignified posture.
After finally finishing the meal, he looked up and saw Lin Min's sister Lin Qingqing sitting opposite him.
She didn't talk much with Lin Min, but was quite familiar with Lin Qingqing. Lin Qingqing was in No. 7 Middle School, had average grades, and was a bit of a fangirl of Su Xiaoqi from No. 1 Middle School.
"Sister Xiaoqi, did you go out with my brother yesterday? Where did my brother go? Did he go on a date with a girlfriend? Is his girlfriend pretty?"
The little girl threw several questions at Su Xiaoqi in one breath, but Su Xiaoqi still hadn't reacted.
Lin Min appeared. His face flushed as he nodded at Su Xiaoqi, then he grabbed his sister's collar and carried her away.
Then there was a burst of ping-pong sounds coming from the next room.
Xiaoqi smiled, put on his schoolbag, filled a can of boiling water and went out.
The city library was a bit far away, so of course she chose to walk there.
Seeing that the amount of money on the interface in front of her was already more than three thousand, she felt particularly motivated to walk forward. Come on, go for it, progressive girl Xiaoqi!
