"Me too! I brought a big bag of pancakes and some dried fruits from my home."
"I brought several bottles of chili oil, all of which are for you. And this bacon, my mother specially cooked all of it, we can cut a few slices to eat when we eat, it's super delicious. And this sausage is also very delicious."
Zhao Chunxian was a little embarrassed, "I only have the dried sweet potatoes that my mother dried!"
Last semester, Zhao Chunxian learned Mandarin. Her accent had improved a lot, and her speech could be generally understood. But after one semester, her accent became stronger again.
Looking at the bag of plump dried sweet potatoes in Zhao Chunxian's hand, Tian Tian was pleasantly surprised, "These dried sweet potatoes look so good!"
Zhao Chunxian's sweet potatoes were all small, skinned ones, only as thick as a thumb, and each one was washed clean. They were pink and plump, and looked very appetizing.
"Can I try one?"
Zhao Chunxian nodded with some surprise. She saw that her classmates brought back precious things such as sausages, bacon, and meat sauce. She was a little worried that the dried sweet potatoes she brought were too shabby and that her classmates would dislike them. However, Tian Tian's attitude made her feel relieved.
Tian Tian took a dried sweet potato and tasted it. Because it was dried at home, it was not very sweet. It just had the original taste of sweet potato, and the texture was very soft and sticky, just a little chewy.
Tian Tian likes this kind of non-sweet sweet potato very much. She feels very satisfied after eating it and wants to eat a few more.
"I'm glad you like it!" Zhao Chunxian was very happy. She felt that she had never been able to bring anything for her roommates and had always had to eat their food.
This dried sweet potato was the most precious thing to her. Her parents could not earn many work points a year, and no one in the team wanted these small sweet potatoes with scars and uncooked. But they knew her family was in financial difficulty, and since she had been admitted to university, the people in the team also tried to build a relationship with her family, so they gave all the small sweet potatoes to her family.
Her parents were very careful and washed all the little sweet potatoes, boiled them and dried them in the sun. These dried sweet potatoes might be snacks for others, but for Zhao Chunxian, they were real food that could fill her stomach when she was hungry.
Zhao Chunxian was also a person who would not take advantage of others. When others gave her things, although her things were not as valuable as others, she was willing to share her equally precious things.
Her parents were worried that she wouldn't eat well at school, so they brought all the dried sweet potatoes from home to her. So there was a big bun, and even after giving some to everyone in the dormitory, Zhao Chunxian still had a lot left.
Their dormitory suddenly became a local specialty sharing session. The floor was filled with local specialties from different places. Everyone happily exchanged the gifts they brought with each other. Soon, Tian Tian's table was filled with specialties from all over the country.
"My grandma was worried that I wouldn't eat well at school, but we all brought so much food. It seems that no one in our school has better food than our dormitory."
Chen Wanqing also looked at the pile of things on her desk and didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she felt warm in her heart, "We all think about each other in our hearts."
"I think we can stay in the dormitory for a long time. With these things we don't have to go to the cafeteria to buy meals!" Gao Xuewei also said with a smile.
"I have a lot of local specialties at home that I can't bring here, and now is the season for eating cocoon pupae, but I can't bring them to it. I guess by the time I get to school, all the pupae will have rotted." Tian Tian said regretfully.
“You guys eat bugs?”
"What's wrong with eating bugs? We eat bugs too. There's even a place that eats roasted scorpions and grasshoppers. I ate it once and it tasted really good, crispy and crunchy."
Liang Dongqing felt numb all over when she heard them discussing eating bugs, so she quickly interrupted them, "Stop talking about bugs! Tiantian, turn on the radio so we can listen to some English tapes. I'm so nervous staying at home during this holiday, and I don't dare to listen to English tapes, and I'm worried that my grades will drop. Let's review now!"
Tian Tian felt a chill on her back after listening to this. She had no intention of studying when she returned home this time. She played all day and didn't even go home. She had originally brought a radio with her, thinking that she would continue listening to English when she returned home. However, the radio had been on in the space since she returned home, and Tian Tian had never entered it, let alone study.
Now that I'm in school, I start to worry about the decline in my speaking and listening skills. You know, language sense also requires you to practice persistently. You may not see the difference if you don't practice for a day or two, but the difference will be huge if you don't practice for a month. Moreover, before the holiday, the teacher said that we would have to take an exam after returning. Tian Tian became even more panicked when she thought of this.
"Hurry up and take out your little radio!" Liang Dongqing urged.
Tian Tian quickly pretended to take out a radio from her luggage, and took the radio and tapes out of her bag. The group listened to the tapes while packing their things.
Qin Yu came into the room with her luggage and was shocked by the English listening test. "Aren't you guys working too hard? School hasn't even started yet, and you've already started studying?"
"I can't help it. I've been having fun for the whole vacation and have forgotten everything I learned last semester. If I don't cram now, I'm going to fail the exam," said Liang Dongqing.
When she returned home, she originally wanted to ask her father to get her some English tapes, as there was a radio at home so she could study at home. However, she did not expect that English tapes were so difficult to get, and her father could not find any at all. In the end, the matter was left unresolved. Without tapes, she had no way to study even if she wanted to.
"There are things we gave you on your table. See if there is anything you can take home to eat." Chen Wanqing said, pointing her chin towards Qin Yu's table.
Qin Yu's bed was right behind the door. When she first opened the door, she didn't notice her desk. Now that Chen Wanqing reminded her, she took a look after closing the door and found a lot of things on the table.
"Did you bring all these things?" Qin Yu was also a little scared by the things on the table.
"We brought these from home. Let's share some with everyone so that you can have a taste of the flavor of my home." Tian Tian said with a smile.
"I got you a lot of mushrooms. We can't cook mushrooms at school. You can take them home and let your parents cook them."
