Zhushan County, Dayun Lane.
Wang Sibing went out to work after breakfast in the morning, while Wang Dahai and Xie Ailian were weeding in the vegetable garden in the yard and picking peppers, green beans and cucumbers.
Chili peppers are fine, they age slowly, and when they grow up they go through a process from green to half green and half red, and then to fully red.
Cucumbers and green beans must be picked when they are big enough, otherwise they will not taste good when they are old.
Pick the vegetables and dry them into dried vegetables if you can’t finish them. Don’t let them rot in the vegetable garden.
Qiao Li took her son back to her parents' home. One of her nephews turned ten today, and although there was no banquet, she, as his aunt, had to go back.
"If I had arrived too late yesterday, I should have called by now..." Xie Ailian picked a handful of green beans and threw them into the basket.
She suddenly thought, "Old man, does Zhao know the home phone number?"
Wang Dahai: “……!”
"Do you think she doesn't know?"
“I didn’t see her write it down.”
“…”
Wang Dahai glanced at his old wife with disdain, "Does Zhao's head look like yours? How could she not remember the home phone number?
Maybe he's busy with paperwork and hasn't had time to call yet. Don't you need to find a public phone to make a phone call?"
However, he still said comforting words.
Who wouldn't worry?!
When the basket was full, Xie Ailian went to the shed, took a large bamboo winnowing basket, and used a frying knife to fry the green beans into slices, which would make it easier to dry them.
"Ring, ring, ring..."
The phone rang.
Xie Ailian almost cut her finger.
"Oh my, you scared me." She put down the scissors, but did not immediately run to answer the phone. Instead, she called Wang Dahai, "Old man, the phone!"
Wang Dahai: “……!”
Putting down the hoe, he muttered, "Don't you know to answer the phone?"
As they passed the shed, he asked leisurely, "Have you never answered a phone call before? Are you afraid to answer it? Or do you not know how to answer it?"
Xie Ailian, "Aren't you the head of the family? Shouldn't you answer the phone?"
I don’t dare to do it, I don’t know how to do it, and I just haven’t accepted it. I feel a little empty.
She was still quite good at "eavesdropping", and it was soon proved that she was also very good at chattering.
The call was from Wang Zhaozhao, who said that he arrived too late last night and had just completed the admission procedures today. He borrowed the teacher's phone to report his safety.
Xie Ailian rushed to ask, "Where did you stay last night?"
"The school has made arrangements in advance to let us move into the dormitory first..."
"How are we supposed to sleep then? There's not even a mat or a quilt."
“There are some at school.”
"Aren't they all off work?"
"There are always teachers on duty in the dormitory."
“…”
Basically, Xie Ailian asked questions and Wang Zhaozhao answered, while Wang Dahai was just a tool to answer the phone and didn't get a word in the whole process.
However, when he wanted to give the call to Xie Ailian, Xie Ailian hid.
Wang Dahai was speechless until Wang Zhaozhao told him not to use the teacher's office phone all the time. Then Wang Dahai quickly said something.
"Take care of yourself."
That’s all.
He hung up the phone, glared at Xie Ailian, and continued to weed in the vegetable garden.
Xie Ailian chased after him unconvinced and yelled, "Why are you glaring at me? Miss Zhao likes talking to me, is it my fault?"
Wang Dahai just clicked his tongue, and Xie Ailian hummed twice.
You old man, you still don’t accept it!
In Beijing, Wang Zhaozhao, who had just hung up the phone, smiled.
She could almost imagine what was happening on the other side.
Comrade Xie Ailian, she still understood that she was a bully at home and in the village.
The four of them took turns making the calls, and their families were waiting to answer the phone, trying their best to finish their conversation within three minutes.
The first three minutes of a call are five cents, and the rest is charged by the minute.
After thanking them and leaving, I returned to the dormitory building and saw two people coming. They were two acquaintances.
Zhao Shinan and Xu Lei.
After saying hello, the girl went back to the dormitory first. We agreed to meet in the cafeteria at noon and chat later.
"Today is the last day for registration. No one should miss it, right?" Xu Yanni suddenly mentioned this after entering the dormitory building.
Wang Zhaozhao and Chen Pei were stunned. "That shouldn't be the case, right?"
I can't say this for sure.
Logically speaking, if they are the only ones who need plane tickets, then the train tickets... should have fixed times and train numbers, right?
If you don't miss the train, you won't be late for registration...
"Chu Jian and Chang Ying should have made an appointment to come together like us, but there's no specific flight schedule for flights, so it seems there are more variables than with trains."
"Maybe the trains can coordinate something like this, with no restrictions on time or train number..."
Ah...this?!
All three of them were silent.
After going upstairs, I met four girls in the corridor.
Xu Yanni took the initiative to greet them, "Hello, classmates..."
"Hello." A girl with short hair and obviously a head taller than the other girls responded as a representative.
"We are from 210 and just arrived last night."
"Ah, it's you three big guys. Hello! Hello! We're from 208, and our homes are quite close. We arrived yesterday morning."
The tall girl became excited as soon as she heard Wang Zhaozhao and her roommates' dormitory number.
The other three girls also seemed to know what they looked like.
Are there any intelligence experts?
I've already figured it out before it even starts.
Xu Yanni didn't know if they came by train. She chatted with them for a while and found out they were going to the library to study, so she didn't bother them any more.
When they returned to the dormitory, Xu Yanni sighed, "Sister Zhao, we were always misunderstood as being too curvy, but it seems we have entered a big curvy camp."
They lived close by and came early on purpose. When other people arrived, they had already started studying in the library.
Upon hearing this, Wang Zhaozhao did two chest expansion exercises.
Xu Yanni smiled. "When was the last time I saw you do this?"
"It was last time." Wang Zhaozhao lied with a serious face.
This caused Xu Yanni and Chen Pei to burst into speechless laughter.
Then Chen Pei raised his hand, "I remember it was when I was competing abroad."
"Is Sister Zhao planning to catch up and surpass everyone? And crush everyone?" Xu Yanni expressed shock.
Wang Zhaozhao asked back, "Do you think that's possible? I'm clearly relaxing."
You should try your best, but there is no need to work yourself to death.
...Just a little more curvy than usual.
They had agreed this morning to take a day off and recharge.
So, they were each "busy" at the desk under their bed.
Wang Zhaozhao is reading a novel.
Xu Yanni writes novels.
Chen Pei memorized words. She always felt that she started learning later than Wang Zhaozhao and Xu Yanni, so she loved memorizing words and occasionally read a short article or a poem to them.
