Time passed uneventfully, and Qingming Festival was just around the corner.
Do you think this year's Qingming Festival will be celebrated together with the third day of the third lunar month?
Gou Shengli lay on the bed, bored, and asked.
"March 3rd? I've never celebrated this festival before. What, is it a holiday in the South City?" Lin Xun asked, somewhat surprised.
"This festival is exclusive to ethnic minorities, and most people in Nancheng belong to this ethnic minority, so universities usually give students a holiday, or at least they don't have to attend classes on that day," Liu Gang explained.
"If there's a holiday, and it's combined with the Qingming Festival, wouldn't that be great?" Lin Xun asked in surprise.
The Qingming Festival has a three-day holiday. If we add the third day of the third lunar month, then there is an extra day. How wonderful is that?
"Just think about it. There are three days between these two holidays, so I guess they won't give us a holiday. They'll probably only give us a holiday for Qingming Festival." Liu Gang pursed his lips.
"By the way, are you guys going to the mountains to clear land during the Qingming Festival?" Gou Shengli asked.
"Yes, I'll do it. Besides, I haven't paid homage to the mountain for many years. I'll probably do it when I go back this time," Liu Gang nodded.
He has been in the army for two years, and including this year, he has not paid respects to his ancestors for three years.
Lin Xun shook his head: "I don't have that. My parents have never really celebrated holidays since I was little, except for the Spring Festival."
"Hey, buddy, your parents kept this from you so well. I'm so envious. They get to have a complete holiday again." Gou Shengli said with a look of envy.
"Hehe, it seems that's really the case." Lin Xun chuckled foolishly.
It's great to be able to spend time with my senior again.
"Just by looking at your expression, I can tell you want to be with Senior Su," Liu Gang retorted.
“But even if it’s a holiday, you can make up for the missed classes,” Wu Da, who was writing a report, suddenly interjected.
"Damn! It seems it really is. My schedule is already full, and I have to take extra classes. My college life is such a mess!" Gou Shengli wailed.
Why think so much? There are still two days until the holiday.
…
Two days later.
With the start of the Qingming Festival holiday, the once bustling school road suddenly became deserted.
College students either stayed in their dormitories to catch up on sleep or bought tickets the day before the holiday and boarded the high-speed train home.
In dormitory 307, apart from Wu Da, the other three students have already left the school.
Wu Da himself also took a part-time job nearby.
He has always been very frugal, taking on part-time jobs whenever he has free time. He has also received the school's inspirational scholarship and the national student grant. Even his roommates don't know how much he has saved up.
Of course, he can't compare to Lin Xun and the others, but students like Wu Da are indeed among the more self-disciplined and hardworking college students.
It takes a few minutes to walk from the dormitory to the south gate. When Wu Da arrived at the south gate, he happened to run into Chen Yingying.
In front of Chen Yingying was a middle-aged man in a suit, who opened the door of a Rolls-Royce and treated Chen Yingying with great respect.
Wu Da was stunned for a moment. Although he knew that Chen Yingying's family was well-off, he did not expect it to be this good.
She comes from Kyoto, and is probably the eldest daughter of a prominent family in Kyoto.
He didn't think much of it; Wu Da knew that he might never reach that level in his lifetime.
Just as he was about to walk over, Chen Yingying spotted him with her sharp eyes.
She rolled down the car window and asked in surprise, "Wu Da? You didn't go home?"
Wu Da stopped and shook his head: "No, my home is a bit far from the school, so I usually don't go back."
Chen Yingying nodded: "So where are you planning to go?"
Wu Da laughed and said, "I found a part-time job nearby and I'm going to work now."
"Part-time job? Did you take a nap?" Chen Yingying asked doubtfully.
Wu Da hadn't expected the other person to ask that, and shook his head: "No."
"Didn't you say you took a nap every day? You wouldn't fall asleep if you didn't?" Chen Yingying asked with a smile.
Wu Da scratched his head: "The main problem is that we don't have enough time. It's only a few days, so it's okay."
Chen Yingying hesitated for a moment, then said, "How about this, you ride in my car, and I'll take you there?"
Wu Da was taken aback, and he subconsciously glanced at the car Chen Yingying was sitting in.
Rolls-Royce, a luxury car that can only be seen on a mobile phone.
He never sat in it.
"Well... I can walk there, it's not far."
The place where he works part-time is only about two kilometers away.
"Oh, don't be so polite. Besides, you helped me last time. Hurry up and get in the car." Chen Yingying was clearly quite enthusiastic.
She doesn't have many friends, but she hopes to make more.
She had met Wu Da a few times and found that he was a good person with no ulterior motives. If they could be friends, that would be a good choice.
As she spoke, the butler in the suit got out of the car, opened the door for Wu Da warmly, and smiled slightly at him.
"Young man, since my young lady has spoken, please get in the car."
He rarely saw a young lady take the initiative to speak to a boy, and he was quite pleased.
He would be very happy if the young lady could find her own place.
As for social status and family background? That's not important to the Chen family.
Seeing how enthusiastic the other party was, Wu Da couldn't refuse, so he politely thanked them and sat in the passenger seat.
Chen Yingying was sitting in the back seat, so naturally he couldn't sit with her.
"By the way, Wu Da, why don't you go out and have fun during your vacation?" Chen Yingying asked with some confusion.
Wu Da said, "I don't know where to go for fun, and I'm not very interested in this. I usually do part-time jobs when I have time."
Upon hearing this, the butler driving the car nodded to himself.
Good job, young man. Independent, self-reliant, and hardworking.
Chen Yingying nodded in realization: "Part-time jobs are good too. I heard that you can get academic credits if you do part-time jobs in college, right?"
Wu Da nodded.
After meeting several times, the two had become somewhat familiar with each other, and the atmosphere was quite pleasant.
The two kilometers passed quickly, and Wu Da got off the bus after arriving at his destination.
"Keep it up!"
Chen Yingying waved to him.
Wu Da smiled knowingly: "Thank you."
Chen Yingying is a gentle girl who received higher education from a young age. She doesn't have the arrogant temperament of a rich girl; instead, she takes the initiative to communicate with others.
The Rolls-Royce drove away, and Wu Da watched the car disappear into the distance before turning his gaze away.
Some people looked at him with curiosity as he got out of the luxury car.
Could he be a rich kid?
Wu Da ignored the stares of others and turned to enter the store.
"Brother, you came here in a Rolls-Royce for a part-time job? This... are you here to experience life?" The shop owner looked at Wu Da with a bewildered expression.
Good heavens, is the other party pretending to be weak to take advantage of others, pretending to be poor to deceive them?
Wu Da explained, half-laughing and half-crying, "Boss, you've misunderstood. That's just an ordinary friend of mine."
The boss said "oh," but he didn't seem to believe it.
If all your friends drive Rolls-Royces, how much less of a status do you have?
