"Okay!" Tian Lisong agreed immediately. "Your uncle has prepared the firewood for you. I'll bring it over next time."
After Tian Lisong left, Tian Tian took the food to the canteen to exchange it for food coupons, and then took the sweet potatoes that Tian Lisong gave her back to the dormitory.
After returning to the dormitory, Gu Pei'an put the sweet potatoes in the cabinet, waiting to take them to the classroom for lunch after the stove in the classroom was lit in a few days.
A few days later, the temperature dropped even lower and Yu Fang's straw mat was delivered. At night, everyone no longer had to listen to the noise of the bed caused by Yu Fang shivering from the cold.
Yu Juanhua and Gao Xiaofeng also asked their family to weave a straw mat and send it over.
Zheng Mingyue looked at them sleeping on straw mats and mocked them a few times, then asked someone to send two quilts over.
Everyone else knew what kind of person Zheng Mingyue was, so they didn't say much.
The stove was also started in the classroom. Tian Tian was very lucky to be sitting next to the stove. The heating pipe just passed over Tian Tian's head, and it was warm.
Not only was she not cold, Tian Tian even felt like she was getting a little irritated.
The only downside is that you have to be careful because the stove can easily burn your clothes.
Every time after the second class, Tian Tian would take a sweet potato and put it on the stove cover to roast. Before long, the sweet smell of sweet potato filled the classroom.
Fortunately, there were other people in the class who often baked potatoes on the stove, and some got their meals in advance and put the lunch boxes on the stove to heat them up, so they could eat as soon as the get out of class was over and didn't have to go to the cafeteria to get meals.
As soon as the last two classes in the morning arrived, the room was filled with the smell of food and no one had any intention of studying.
At noon, Tian Tian did not go out to get lunch, but went straight back to the dormitory with the roasted sweet potatoes.
After Liang Rong and her friends came back from getting food, they smelled the sweet aroma of roasted sweet potatoes in the dormitory. They touched the food that had become a little cold after walking all the way and were extremely envious. "Next time I go home, I will bring back some roasted sweet potatoes. Every time there are so many people getting food, the food is cold when it's our turn, and it makes our stomachs uncomfortable!"
No one else said anything. The rest of the people did not have such a good family background as Cashmere. Even for people like Li Wenxiu who came from working-class families in the city, they ate the same food every day. They could not eat a few more bites if they were not full today. No one was picky about what they ate.
Only those with a well-off family like Liang Rong could want to eat something else besides the monthly food allowance, and could eat whatever they wanted according to their mood.
Liang Rong not only envied Tian Tian's roasted sweet potatoes, but also envied Tian Tian's straw mat. When she was sleeping on the same bed with Tian Tian and whispering to her, she felt that Tian Tian's bed was much softer than hers, and it was also very warm to sleep on. Knowing that this was because Tian Tian used a straw mat, she also wanted a straw mat.
But straw mats were not sold in the supply and marketing cooperative. Even if Tian Tian could get her some Ula grass, her father didn't know how to weave straw mats. She couldn't ask Tian Tian's father to weave one for her, so she could only watch and envy.
"Then I'll give you half of the sweet potato!" Tian Tian broke off half of the sweet potato and handed it to Liang Rong.
Liang Rong happily took it and placed her lunch box in front of Tian Tian, "I'll give you half of my meal!"
Tian Tian did not refuse. Eating sweet potatoes alone would be a bit too choking, so she picked up the vegetables in Liang Rong's lunch box with chopsticks.
Now is the time when the cabbages have grown into hearts, and the cafeteria in their school has started to cook cabbage for every meal. Tian Tian has gotten used to it after staying here for the past two years. They eat the same two kinds of vegetables every year. She used to get tired of it at first, but now she doesn't think it's a big deal.
"Sweet potatoes are so delicious!" Liang Rong took a bite of the sweet potato and said with satisfaction.
Liang Rong has eaten so many delicious foods. She used to look down on sweet potatoes, but now she thinks they are so delicious. It's all because the school cooks the same dishes every day, and the food doesn't change even once a week.
Liang Rong doesn't eat out as often as Zheng Mingyue, so it's normal for her to get tired of the school food.
"I don't know if there is still hot water in the school. My hair is itchy and I want to get some water to wash my hair." Ma Shuhua said.
As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately attracted a lot of agreement.
"I want to take a shower, but there are too many people getting hot water."
"My hair is so irritated and it's all oily."
Wu Jiao and Chen Qianqian also echoed.
"Then let's go get water together in the evening so that we can wash our hair at noon tomorrow, and we don't have to squeeze with them to get water." Tian Tian also wanted to wash her hair, but her hair was long and thick, and she didn't have a hair dryer, so she was afraid it wouldn't dry if she washed it in the evening.
"Okay!" Li Wenxiu also agreed. It is troublesome to wash hair now, so they usually go to the same dormitory to fetch water and wash together.
"Then let's get more food tomorrow morning, put it on the stove to heat it up in the morning, and come back directly to wash our hair after lunch." Ma Shuhua said.
Their lunch break is very short, only about an hour. They have to get food, eat, and wash their hair. There is simply not enough time.
"Why don't we just go take a bath? It doesn't cost much to take a bath in a bathhouse." Liang Rong suggested.
Tian Tian's eyes lit up. She hadn't taken a bath for a long time. Usually, she would simply scrub herself inside the shell after everyone went to bed at night. She also wanted to go to the bathhouse to rub and wash herself thoroughly.
The next second, the light in Tian Tian's eyes dimmed, "Forget it, I don't have a bath ticket, so I can't take a bath."
At this time, taking a bath in the bathhouse is still very cheap. It costs 5 cents per person in the lobby and 10 cents per person in a private room. You can bathe for as long as you want, but you need a bath ticket.
Tian Tian doesn’t have bath tickets, only city dwellers have them.
"That's nothing!" Liang Rong waved his hand generously, "Bath tickets are not worth much, I'll treat you all, all of us in the dormitory, this time I'll treat you all to a bath."
They all washed in the big pool. There were twelve people in the dormitory, minus Zheng Mingyue, so there were eleven people left. It only cost fifty-five cents in total, which was not a lot of money for her.
When they heard someone invite them to take a bath, everyone cheered.
"Oh my God! I never thought that I could go to the bathhouse to take a bath in my lifetime!" said Yu Juanhua.
She is now familiar with everyone, and is not as polite and talkative as before, and can be more lively.
People in the rural area never have the chance to take a bath in their lifetime. They just soak in a puddle in the summer and don’t take a bath in the winter because it is too cold.
"Tsk!" Zheng Mingyue sneered in disdain when she heard Liang Rong asking everyone to take a shower.
"Hey!" Liang Rong saw Zheng Mingyue like this and put her hands on her waist unhappily. "What do you mean? What? Do you want me to treat you to a bath too?"
