Her grandmother said that it was thanks to her that she had the opportunity to take a train, eat ice cream and Western food, try so many things she had never eaten before, and see the outside world.
Liang Shengdi said that she now does what she likes every day, and she lives a comfortable life with the money she earns to eat and drink as she pleases, so it was not hard for her to save this money, and she asked Lin Shuying to accept it with confidence.
She hopes that Lin Shuying can also live a life where she can eat and drink whatever she wants.
"You're still a student and don't make much money, so I'll sponsor you first. It's called sponsorship, right? That's what your mom said... Anyway, when you make money in the future, if you come up with something new and delicious, just remember to bring me some! It's called that..."
"It's called feedback, return of investment..." Shuying's voice was choked with sobs. She was just trying to make a living, if she really wanted to make a profit, she would lose money.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Liang Shengdi nodded happily, "Take the money and don't drop it. Be good at school. We'll be leaving first!"
Old Mrs. Liang waved her hands and got on the bus with her son and daughter-in-law.
Lin Shuying finally returned to the dormitory with red eyes.
Zuo Qiumei was still wondering how to repay the favor when she saw her coming back with a camera.
Look, look, this girl is allowed to take a camera worth hundreds of dollars. Does this family work in a banknote printing factory?
"Your...family members are gone?" Zuo Qiumei asked stiffly.
Lin Shuying nodded and sniffed softly, "Well, their train is at one o'clock. If we don't leave now, it will be too late."
"oh……"
"Where is your home from?"
"From Yue City."
"Oh, that's not too far." Zuo Qiumei recalled her geographical knowledge. "It should be convenient for your family to go home after getting off the train. Your parents might even be able to come home and cook dinner."
"It's not very convenient. You have to take a boat after arriving at the train station, and the boatman charges a high price after dark."
Zuo Qiumei, who comes from an inland area, has no idea what a boat is. "Is there no public transportation?"
Lin Shuying shook her head again. "My home is in the countryside, and there's no public transportation."
Zuo Qiumei, who also came from the countryside, was gently broken.
"You have a rural household registration?!"
Lin Shuying nodded innocently, "Yes, what's wrong?"
"So your family also has rural household registration?!"
Lin Shuying exclaimed in confusion, "Yes." What else?
Zuo Qiumei knew she had asked an extremely stupid question, but the point was, "Sister, how are you like us country folk?"
In fact, this is very normal. When Lin Shuying was young, she did some farm work, but in the junior high and high school years, except for helping in the fields during the double harvest in the summer vacation, she was basically not allowed to do any other work.
Lin Guoqing regularly provides vanishing cream to the female comrades in the family, including the two maids. Chen Chunhua also pays attention to the meals of the children at home, and Liang Shengdi also provides snacks.
In recent years, her family has been at the forefront of everything in the village, and Lin Shuying truly exudes confidence from the inside out.
She looks completely different from Zuo Qiumei, a country girl with a bit of plateau red on her face, whose skin looks a little dry and cracked even in the summer, and who shows a bit of inferiority from time to time.
Zuo Qiumei couldn't quite understand why there was such a big difference between her village and her own, and she didn't know how to explain her envy and jealousy.
But since she accepted a banana and a bottle of soda from the other person at the beginning, she was destined not to be able to treat Lin Shuying coldly.
The main reason was that Lin Shuying wasn't as arrogant as she had imagined, and was even a little polite. On the first day they spent together in the dormitory, Lin Shuying kept sharing the bag of food on her desk with her.
"Qiumei, if you want to eat anything, just help yourself. Don't be polite. Fruits don't keep long in hot weather, and biscuits get soggy easily."
Zuo Qiumei nodded, but she didn't reach out. However, when Lin Shuying wanted to get some hot water, she ran very diligently.
"I'll do it, I'll do it."
Lin Shuying wants to go get some food.
"I'm on my way there too. Let me help you fight!"
I accidentally spilled water on the ground.
"I'll drag it, you just sit there!"
As a result, Lin Shuying spent a lot of space in her first letter home after school started to describe her friendship with Zuo Qiumei to her parents. Lin Shuying said that she had met an excellent friend.
Of course, this is all later.
After the two of them stayed alone in the dormitory for one night, other roommates arrived one after another.
There are 8 people, 3 majoring in English, 5 majoring in international trade, two of them are Shanghai natives and seem to come from well-off families.
They all have one thing in common, which is that they are very polite to Lin Shuying.
The local girl Yang Yunqian glanced at the outsiders sleeping in the beds opposite and curled her lips unhappily. They were a group of country bumpkins, and they always felt that there was a strange smell on their bodies, which affected the air in the dormitory.
She stood up and leaned on the bed frame and said to Lin Shuying who was sitting on the upper bunk,
"Shuying, the senior who just brought me here said there's a place selling bed curtains outside the school. You can just pull a rope and hang them over the bed, which greatly guarantees your privacy. Do you want to go buy some together?"
"Really?" Who doesn't want a private space, especially Lin Shuying who has her own room at home. "Of course!"
Lin Shuying was putting up her family photo on the wall. Before Chen Chunhua and the others left, they gave her the photo with the background of the International Building Complex. She put the photo up on the wall above her pillow to ensure that she could see it when she opened her eyes in the morning.
Yang Yunqian saw the photo and exclaimed, "Shuying, is this your family? Your mother is so fashionable!"
"Thank you (∩_∩)" Lin Shuying thanked him gently and then climbed out of bed.
"Are we going to buy it now?" Lin Shuying asked the other roommates.
"Would you like to come together? Are you guys buying anything?"
Another local girl, Gao Fangfang, raised a pile of cloth beside her and said with a slightly excited tone,
"I already brought it. My brother is a junior in college, and he gave me a list of everything I need for the dorm. Do you want to see it?"
"Hey! Is this true? Let me take a look! I see if there's anything missing, and now's a good time to fill it in!"
The speaker was a girl from Northeast China, Yan Guilan. All her ancestors were employees of the steel plant. She was a true child of a big factory owner. She lived in good conditions and had no shortage of pocket money.
However, the other four girls were not so enthusiastic about shopping.
Zuo Qiumei lowered her head and read a book without saying a word. Li Ximei from the fisherman's family in Jiang Province shook out the clothes she had just folded and folded them again, saying in a soft voice, "No,
"I won't buy anything for now. A mosquito net is enough for the upper bunk. I can buy the other things later if I need them."
Su Biqing, who was also from Jiangcheng, nodded and said, "Yeah, we can buy it when we need it. There's no rush."
On the other hand, Zeng Juhua from the Central Plains spread her hands and confessed frankly,
"No, I don't have that much money."
