Li Feidan, who had been reading a book on the upper bunk by the window, quickly looked up at Qiu Yuling when he heard this.
She hadn't said anything just now. Changing beds without permission was not a nice thing to do, but she had never been one to seek attention. She had just been watching the whole process by reading a book. This female classmate, whom she met last, was obviously not the pushover that everyone imagined.
Qiusha was only briefly embarrassed when she heard that, then smiled and said, "I'm really sorry, it's my duty."
I don't know what her mentality was when she did this yesterday, but now she has to admit her mistake and bow her head, so Qiu Yuling stopped.
Just be merciful and...let it be bad luck!
Ever since Li Qingmei's two children went to school, the house suddenly lost two helpers, and she was immediately in a mess and couldn't take care of anything.
In addition, the brigade organized a collective reclamation project, and as soon as the land thawed, they immediately started working. Qiu Jianshe and his wife, as well as their eldest son Qiu Dashan, all had to work.
Normally, it would be good enough for other young wives to be able to sit through the full confinement period. Many young wives would rush back home to give birth only when they were already pregnant and almost gave birth in the fields.
Huang Duoer has had limited time to work since her pregnancy, so she has been taken care of enough. She has to go to work now.
But firstly, the babies were too small, and secondly, there were too many of them, so he only carried them out to work once before the attempt failed.
Not only could I not do any work, but my mother-in-law was also so tired that she couldn't do anything, and the baby was almost frozen sick.
Li Qingmei didn't care whether other families gossiped or not. The situation was stronger than she was. She waved her hand and let Huang Duoer stay in the house and take care of the baby. If anyone said anything sarcastic, she would pinch her waist and fight.
"You can't even clean your own shit properly. If you have nothing to do this day, go give birth to three boys with your husband first and then come out and scream..."
“…”
Fortunately, Huang Duoer has experience in taking care of twin siblings. She takes care of three kids by herself in the house. Although it is not too busy, it is not idle either. She does all the chores around the house and outside when she has free time.
But cooking is different from those odd jobs. It has to be done at a fixed time and place, which really stumps her.
Every time it’s time for dinner, the three little ones are like a timer that has been turned off. They either poop or feel sleepy.
And they fired three shots at once, and none of them wanted to be left behind.
She often had to let go of the children halfway through cooking. When Mr. Qiu and his family came back from work, the rice was either burnt, mushy, clumpy, or still undercooked.
No one said anything if it happened once or twice, but when it happened too many times, it seemed like she couldn't even do this little chore at home, like a waste.
My father-in-law is fine, but my mother-in-law's face is getting uglier day by day.
"Dashan, please talk to mom and ask if we can invite grandma over. I can't earn full work points when I go out to work, so I'll earn as much as I can.
I give my earnings to my grandmother. I leave work early at noon and in the afternoon, come back to feed the baby, cook, and feed the livestock."
Qiu Dashan went to talk to Li Qingmei. Li Qingmei was also an experienced person and of course knew that it would be useless to take care of the children. Seeing that the couple had a plan in mind, she agreed to give it a try.
I lived in the same production team with Old Lady Qiu, but no one ever suggested asking grandma for help.
But Grandma Yuling was still in great demand, and Li Qingju also wrote a letter earnestly asking for support, saying that her mother-in-law had a whole family to take care of and was too busy to take care of her.
If this continues, she will soon be unable to do her job. Her eldest child is only one year old, she is pregnant with her second child, and her husband is often away on missions.
This is not the most difficult thing. She is really worried that after giving birth to her second child, there is no one to help her during the confinement period.
The old lady was in a dilemma when her eldest daughter and youngest daughter sent out calls for help at the same time.
Li Qingmei didn't know that her fourth sister's in-laws were so unreliable. Now that she knew it, how could she still snatch the old lady away? She hurriedly said that her side was not that important.
The old lady finally breathed a sigh of relief, packed up her things, took her youngest son with her, and boarded the train again.
The old lady loves to travel far away. She doesn’t get carsick or people sick, and she can tolerate any kind of hustle and bustle.
Qiu Yuling only learned about all this after receiving a reply letter from home informing her that the supplies had been received. She then sent the old lady's share to her fourth aunt in the border area.
Because the old lady wanted to take care of her fourth uncle's important event, she exchanged it for a Plum brand watch, wrapped it in a package, and sent it over as a gift for becoming a disciple.
The girls in the dormitory initially thought that Qiu Yuling was a girl from the city and her family should be very well-off.
After spending more time with her, I realized that she probably brought all the supplies she needed for three years of study with her in one go.
Because she always ate the cheapest meals in the cafeteria and didn't buy things randomly. Apart from receiving letters more frequently, she never received anything mailed to her from home.
Apart from visiting her relatives every weekend, I guess they don't have any good conditions because I have never seen her bring any delicious food.
For a time, Qiu Yuling became the one with the worst family conditions in the dormitory.
But she held on to her worthless dignity and refused the school's poverty assistance, saying that she wanted to leave it to people who needed it more than she did. Several roommates joked privately that she was young after all and didn't understand suffering.
However, the school is very satisfied with Qiu Yuling's performance. She is studious, motivated, thrifty and has a high level of awareness.
Apart from his young age, there is nothing wrong with him.
Qiu Yuling actually didn't think so much about it. She just felt that she had to go back to the cabin for a snack anyway, so there was no need to waste the meal in front of others. As for the poverty subsidy, her reason for refusing it was the same as when she was in junior high school.
Who knew that such a beautiful misunderstanding would happen by accident?
"Yuling only ate corn tortillas again today. We agreed to go shopping at the department store in the city tomorrow. Do you want to go?" Bai Qiaolan put the lunch box in her storage compartment and saw that Qiu Yuling was still eating the leftover tortillas from lunch.
After asking, she felt a tinge of regret. She was so frugal, how could she possibly have the money to go shopping in a department store?
Li Feidan came to the rescue, "Let's go together. It's free for us to go shopping."
Qiu Yuling was having trouble saying no. She had originally planned to go to the east of the city to look at houses this week.
She doesn't plan to buy it now. First, the private property transactions are not mature now, and there is no housing management department to handle the transfer. Second, if she buys it, there will be unrest soon, and she is afraid that she will not be able to keep it and get into trouble.
She was thinking of renting a place so that she could have a place to stay when she went out to visit relatives on weekends. If even renting was not convenient, she would just stay in the dormitory.
Anyway, I am much more free now than when I was in my hometown.
"I'm free this Saturday, let's join us." It was hard to refuse such a kind offer, and besides, it would be inappropriate for her to always skip group activities because it had happened once before and twice but not three times.
"I have another piece of braid. I'll wear it for you to see when it gets warmer." She looked around with a small mirror. Everyone agreed. Bai Qiaolan happily took it off, folded it, pulled out the big wooden box from under the bed and put it back.
