Chapter 417: A Step Down

After some self-introduction, Su Ranran had a preliminary understanding of her roommates.

Zhong Xi is from Ning City, Shandong Province. He was a worker before going to university and looks very cheerful.

Li Xiaoshuang is from Jiangsu Province and is a freshman.

He Ping was an educated youth who was admitted to Xi'an University from Yunnan Province where she worked in the countryside.

The female student who had the last remaining bed also moved into the dormitory when it was getting dark.

After another round of self-introductions, Su Ranran also learned that this female classmate named Qin Yu was also an educated youth who had worked in the countryside in Jiangxi Province before coming to university.

The female student in blue clothes was the only one in the dormitory who had not introduced herself.

Zhong Xi was a broad-minded person. Seeing that the female student in blue was unable to get down from the stage, he handed her a ladder.

"Classmate, you are the only one left. Please introduce yourself so that we can get to know each other."

Although Chen Mengqi was still not very happy, she couldn't leave the dormitory, so she introduced herself even if it was not a big deal.

"My name is Chen Mengqi, I'm a native of Xishi, and I'm a freshman."

These few short sentences are filled with the arrogance of people from the provincial capital.

The others were speechless, but they didn't want to argue with her.

After all, she is the youngest in the whole dormitory.

He Ping wanted to stay as far away from her as possible and didn't want to get close to her at all.

Before dark, she took her daughter to the restroom, and then the mother and daughter lay back on the bed, making their presence felt.

Su Ranran happened to sleep on the upper bunk bed between the mother and daughter.

Her bed was surrounded by curtains, which was different from others and provided the best privacy.

I don't know if they were afraid of being rejected, but the mother and daughter were so quiet that night that it was as if they didn't exist.

Su Ranran couldn't even feel them turning over.

If she hadn't heard their breathing late at night, she would have suspected that they were not in the dormitory at all.

However, Su Ranran was not in the mood to pay attention to their situation.

This was the first time Su Ranran was separated from them since the twins were born, and she couldn't sleep at all at night.

The sound of little Zhaozhao crying kept coming back to my mind, and I didn’t know when I finally fell asleep.

The next day, before I got up, I heard rustling sounds coming from the dormitory.

Su Ranran opened her eyes dazedly, lifted the curtain and looked out, she saw that Zhong Xi had already changed her clothes and was getting ready to wash up.

Today is the first day of school.

Everyone was very excited and hardly slept well that night. When they heard someone getting up, they all got up one after another.

Su Ranran couldn't sleep, so she just got up.

Last night she had already put the clothes she needed to change on the bed, and she only climbed out of bed after she had changed.

Downstairs, the mother and daughter had already gotten up.

Honghong didn't have pajamas, so she still wore the same patched clothes at night.

At this moment, she was holding a comb and skillfully combing her hair.

He Ping had already gotten out of bed and was taking a basin to get some hot water for washing up.

Although there are only six people in the dormitory, they all have to get up at the same time, which makes washing and brushing teeth very inconvenient, and we have to queue up.

Chen Mengqi was not used to such crowds. Even when she was in high school, she lived at home every day and had never tried boarding life.

Looking at her roommates queuing on the balcony, she felt a little irritated for no reason.

The others were either from rural areas or educated youth, and they were already accustomed to this kind of collective life.

They took turns washing up soon.

He Ping and her daughter did not dare to compete with Chen Mengqi, so they stood at the end of the line.

Chen Mengqi rolled his eyes and ignored them.

By the time she had taken her time to wash up, He Ping's water was almost getting cold.

But she didn't dare to complain. She hurriedly brushed her teeth and washed her face, then rolled out a towel to wash Honghong's face.

Just as the towel touched her red face, I heard her take a deep breath.

Only then did He Ping see that her daughter's face and lips were cracked.

The towel is already a little cold. Wouldn't it be painful for her to rub it on her face?

Seeing the young lady's face frozen like this, He Ping felt so distressed that tears were about to flow.

But she couldn't do anything.

When she arrived in Western Province, she had spent all the savings she had quietly saved.

She no longer had any extra money to buy her clam oil.

And just at this moment, a box was handed over.

"Student He Ping, I have some vanishing cream here, please apply it on the child."

It’s Su Ranran!

Seeing the box of vanishing cream handed to her, He Ping's hands moved and she almost couldn't help but take it.

But she finally restrained herself.

"No... no thanks, Ranran, this is too expensive, I can't accept it."

That was vanishing cream, which she couldn't afford to buy even when she was in the city.

Everyone else's eyes also turned to the vanishing cream in Su Ranran's hand.

There was a flash of surprise in everyone's eyes.

I didn't expect Su Ranran to be so generous. She would lend it to me right away.

Su Ranran had already guessed that He Ping would refuse, and there was no surprise on her face.

"Student He Ping, you may have just come from Yunnan Province, so you don't know how severe the weather is here. Your red face is already cracked. If you don't apply vanishing cream in time, it will get worse and worse."

Hearing that the situation would become increasingly serious, He Ping no longer cared about being polite.

"Thank you in advance, Ranran. I will buy it and return it to you when the subsidy is distributed."

Although it costs one dollar to buy a box of vanishing cream, the lady's face has become like this, how can she dare to save money?

Although Su Ranran didn't need this thing, she didn't say she didn't have to return it.

She still understands the principle of helping in emergencies rather than helping in poverty.

He Ping took the vanishing cream and carefully applied a layer on Honghong.

Honghong was still in great pain, but she didn't dare to cry.

Only after she had applied the vanishing cream on her face did she feel much better.

"How is it? Does it still hurt?" He Ping carefully examined the girl's face.

Honghong shook her head, "It doesn't hurt anymore."

It was already past six in the morning, and people in the dormitory were leaving one after another.

Zhong Xi went with Li Xiaoshuang, while Chen Mengqi and Qin Yu went together.

The remaining three, Su Ranran, He Ping, mother and daughter, naturally walked together.

First I went to the cafeteria to have breakfast, and then went to the classroom.

The computer profession in this era was not as complicated as it is in later generations, and there were not as many professional categories as in later generations.

Everyone in Su Ranran's dormitory is from the same class.

What is surprising but not surprising is that there are only six female students in their class, and the remaining thirty-four are all male students.

There were few female classmates, and Su Ranran looked particularly outstanding. As soon as she entered the classroom, the originally noisy classroom suddenly became quiet!

After a while, there were bursts of low inhalation sounds again.

Isn't this female classmate so pretty? !
