Yu Fang and Gao Xiaofeng also praised Tian Tian.
Tian Tian looked at herself in a palm-sized mirror and happily braided a scorpion braid for herself. Her head felt a lot lighter and not as heavy as before when she had thick hair. It was just a little chilly and not as warm as when she had thick hair.
Tian Tian looked at her fresh hair for a while, then tied her hair up and took the thermos to see if there was any hot water.
Liang Rong didn't stay here at night. She came back, simply washed the clothes she had taken off, hung them on the clothesline, and then went home.
Tian Tian also got some hot water, washed her clothes, went to the cafeteria to get some food, and after eating, she studied for a while while the school lights were still on. Before turning off the lights, she filled a glass bottle with some hot water and put it inside her quilt.
Although their dormitory has heating, the room is not particularly hot. She has to wear a thick cotton jacket in the dormitory every day. The quilt is ice-cold when she sleeps at night, and she has to put a glass bottle filled with water in it.
Although the glass bottle will become cold in the second half of the night, it can at least allow Tian Tian to have a good sleep in the first half of the night.
I don’t know where Grandma Tian got this glass bottle from. It is the kind used in hospitals for hanging water. It has a rubber stopper on it, so there is no need to worry about water leaking out after it is plugged in.
"Do you want more hot water? I still have some left!" Tian Tian put the glass bottle in the quilt and turned around to ask.
Yu Juanhua, Yu Fang and the other two did not have a thermos, so they usually fetched hot water directly from a basin. If they needed hot water for small items, they would get it from Tian Tian.
However, they all knew their limits and would pour very little water each time. They would also help Tian Tian to get water, so Tian Tian was very willing to get water for them. She would also fill some water into their glass bottles at night so that they could sleep warmer.
"Thank you! You go to bed, I can do it myself in a while!" said Yu Juanhua.
After hearing this, Tian Tian didn't say anything to Yu Juanhua. She put the thermos under the bed and crawled into the quilt.
After Yu Juanhua, Yu Fang and Gao Xiaofeng used up all the hot water in the thermos, they all went to bed.
The water in the glass bottle turned cold in the middle of the night. After Tian Tian was woken up by the cold, she got out of bed and went to the toilet. She returned to the bed and saw that the three of them were still sleeping. She then quietly entered the snail shell and read by lamplight, secretly studying the self-study books on mathematics, physics and chemistry that Gu Zhao had given her.
I don’t know how long I studied, but Tian Tian felt sleepy and went back to bed to continue sleeping.
The next day was a holiday and there was no class, so Tian Tian slept peacefully until she woke up naturally. When she got up in the morning, the thermos was filled with hot water again, and there was no one in the dormitory.
Tian Tian sat in front of the table and woke up for a while, then took the thermos to the bathroom to wash up.
After I came back from washing up, Yu Fang and the others had already come back from getting their meals.
"Are you awake? I've put the lunch box on the table for you, and the meal is also ready for you. Please eat it while it's hot." Yu Juanhua said.
"Thank you! Did you help me get the meal? I'll give you the money and the ticket! And also hot water!" Tian Tian took out the food coupons, lottery ticket and money and handed them to Yu Juanhua.
Yu Juanhua took it and counted out two bills and handed them to Tian Tian. "I'll take the meal money, but you don't have to pay me for the water! I used so much of your water, you don't have to do this to get me some water."
Tian Tian didn't bother to be polite with Yu Juanhua and went straight in to take the money.
Tian Tian stayed in school until after the exams in January.
There is not much work in the fields at this time, and everyone usually stays at home for the winter, and the ox carts don't come out.
Tian Tian and Tian Yun made an appointment to go home together.
After Tian Tian packed her luggage, she put all the heavy things that she had to take back into the snail shells. However, Tian Tian still had to carry the big items like luggage herself.
Tian Tian packed her luggage, wrapped herself tightly, and then carried her luggage to find Tian Yun.
"I'll leave first!" Tian Tian said, sticking her head out the door.
"Bye! See you next semester!" Gao Xiaofeng and Yu Fang, who were packing their luggage, waved to Tian Tian.
Tian Tian carried her luggage and went to find Tian Yun, and walked home with her.
The two of them left in the morning. There are not many people on the road now. Everyone is either working in the factory or staying at home for the winter. No one would stay outside with nothing to do.
The heavy snow from the past few days has not melted yet. It's not so bad in the county town because everyone has organized people to remove the snow. Plus with so many people coming and going, the snow on the roads is almost completely gone.
Once you leave the county town, the roads become difficult to walk on. Outside the county town are only rural paths. After the snow falls, no one wants to go out. Even if they do, they stay in the production team and never go to the main road. Therefore, the snow on the road is still thick and few people have stepped on it.
It was difficult to walk in the snow. Tian Tian was wearing thick clothes and carrying luggage on her back. Soon she could not walk anymore. At the beginning, she could still say a few words to Tian Yun, but later she said nothing and just walked silently in the snow.
When Tian Yun heard Tian Tian say nothing, she walked silently in front and let Tian Tian follow in her footsteps, which could save Tian Tian some energy.
Fortunately, not long after they walked forward, they saw a ox cart coming out from the fork in the road. Tian Tian excitedly waved and asked the cart to stop.
"Uncle! Where are you going? Can you take us for a walk?" Tian Tian asked loudly.
"I'm going to the Five Star Brigade to do some work! Where are you two little girls going?" said the man driving the ox cart.
"We are going to the Red Flag Brigade! Uncle, can you give us a ride?"
The Red Flag Brigade and the Five Star Brigade are actually in two directions, but you can still walk a short distance from here.
"Okay! Come on up! I'll take you to your commune!"
"Thank you, uncle!" Tian Tian quickly pulled Tian Yun onto the ox cart.
There were a few bundles of hay on the ox cart for the cows to eat. The two of them huddled in the hay, away from the wind outside and quite warm.
Tian Tian felt that her frozen body had relaxed a little.
"Little girls! It's winter now, why are you running outside instead of staying at home to keep warm? Besides, your team is so far away from here, don't you mind the cold?" The uncle driving the ox cart turned around and shouted at them.
"Uncle! We are students studying in the county town! It's vacation time, so why don't we go home? It just so happened that it snowed heavily in the past two days." Tian Tian also shouted at the top of her voice.
