Qiu Yuling ordered a plate of braised pork slices, a small portion of pickles, and a bowl or two of rice.
She also really likes the pickles in the cafeteria. They are especially delicious when eaten with porridge.
"Yuling, why did you only get so little rice? I'll break off half a steamed bun for you. There are only two steamed buns left, and Xiaogu and I each grabbed one." As Li Feidan said this, he broke off half a steamed bun and tried to stuff it into Qiu Yuling's mouth without saying a word.
The kind that can't be done without it.
There was no place to sit down and eat in the cafeteria at the moment, so everyone had to take their food outside or go back to the dormitory to eat.
Several people in Qiu Yuling's dormitory had already arrived late, and now they were holding their rice bowls. The smell of rice made them unable to hold on any longer.
They found a spot by the wall, and in the shade, they began to eat voraciously.
At first, Qiu Yuling was a little uncomfortable with this way of eating, but now she can adapt to the local customs without any change in her expression.
She looked very polite while eating, but actually she was not slow at all.
On the contrary, Bai Qiaolan likes to talk while eating, chattering a lot, and is always the last one to finish eating.
"Oh, by the way, what about that thing your instructor mentioned earlier? Qiaolan got distracted by eating meat. Are you all participating?"
"I will participate!" Qiu Yuling was the first to express her opinion. She didn't want anything else, she just wanted to have a good performance during her school years and strive for the school to make some advance arrangements for these active and excellent students.
"Me too." Li Feidan and Zhao Xiaogu said in unison.
They are all people who have plans for the future, and they have planned in their minds which things to put their efforts into and which things to make do with.
"Count me in." Bai Qiaolan quickly swallowed the rice in her mouth and asked them, no matter who they were, to help her register at the admissions office of the United Gymnastics Team.
After the meal, everyone washed their dishes and planned to go back to the dormitory to rest.
Qiu Yuling had a hearty meal today and didn't need to find a way to have a snack, so she planned to go back to the dormitory with everyone.
"Qiu Yuling, there's a letter for you in the mailroom." She had just taken two steps when a classmate from the class behind her called her.
She had no choice but to say hello to everyone, turned around and walked towards the mail room.
"Hello, teacher. I'm here to get my letter." The teacher in the mailroom was about to take a nap. When she heard another student coming to get something, she suppressed her impatience and let her find it herself.
Qiu Yuling found her own portion through the small window and also took Bai Qiaolan's portion as well.
When I arrived at the dormitory, it was very quiet. I didn't know whether Bai Qiaolan was asleep or not. She had a pillowcase covering her face and didn't move.
She placed the letter next to Bai Qiaolan's pillow, took off her shoes, and tiptoed onto her bunk.
"You're back. I've put a handful of sour apricots next to your pillow." Li Feidan was not asleep. He was lying on his bunk reading a book.
Qiu Yuling whispered thank you, touched one, took out a handkerchief to wipe the fine hairs on it, and put another one in. "Hiss~ So sour!" It still tasted the same.
Li Feidan gave a mischievous smile when he heard this. Everyone was resting and no one said anything more.
She unfolded the letter and read it quickly. The letter was sent from her hometown.
He told her some trivial things at home, mentioned that he had sold the pig, and that the chicken butts this year were not good enough. It was obvious that it was Mrs. Qiu repeating what she had heard, and her eldest brother wrote it down exactly as it was.
It wasn't until the end that I saw that it was written that her fourth uncle had already started driving with her cousin's father-in-law. Although he couldn't touch the steering wheel yet, people were willing to take him with them.
Qiu Yuling thought about this cousin-in-law for a long time before she realized that the man she was talking about should be Li Qinglian's man.
There is a real element of family connection here, and the watch certainly played a role as well.
Qiu Yuling spread out the letter paper and wrote back to her family.
She first greeted all the relatives and asked about everyone in the family who was still alive.
She then expressed her longing for her parents and relatives. After two pages of eloquent emotional expression, she described her campus life and introduced the people in each bunk one by one.
The route to school every day and the process of getting meals were all listed, so that they could know everything about her life just by reading the letters.
After this chapter was over, she turned to ask if there was any news about her eldest brother's reserve mechanic at the agricultural machinery station?
Even if the commune doesn't have agricultural machinery for the time being, please don't give up. Be humble and learn, and make friends with the experienced workers. Opportunities will not easily disappoint those who are prepared...
Finally, I asked to know my fourth uncle's communication method so that I could communicate with him and see if there was a chance for his relatives to come here for a small gathering when their transport truck passed by Lan City one day. I missed him very much.
After packing Qiu Zhuang's letter, she continued to spread out the letter paper and reply to Wang Xiaotao's letter.
"Sister Xiaotao:
I have received your letter with great respect and I look forward to hearing from you. I apologize for the late reply.
Sister Xiaotao, knowledge is power.
Without understanding geology, people would not know the treasures hidden under 9.6 million square kilometers of land;
Building the motherland requires knowledge, managing the country requires knowledge, and even agricultural reclamation and pioneering requires knowledge.
Those who do not attach importance to scientific and cultural knowledge are like the oxen plowing the fields, spending a lot of effort but seeing no results.
You must improve your physical fitness while also focusing on your studies, so that you can enter the university of your dreams as soon as possible and realize your ideals and ambitions.
In addition, I have attached a bag of vegetable seeds from my hometown. They are the best-growing ones from last year and have been carefully selected and bred.
When the flowers bloom and bear fruit, it will be like we are eating from the same pot.
You mentioned your parents' lack of care for you. I think they love you enough. It's just that this love is hidden under the love for family and country. You need to feel it with your heart.
......
If we could meet at this moment, sleep with our feet touching, and relieve the depression, wouldn't it be wonderful...
I am writing this reply to express my gratitude for the peace of the time.
Ling comes up.
Put both letters in place, put a four-cent stamp on one and an eight-cent stamp on the other.
She took the shoulder bag and put it in the mezzanine. It was almost time and the dormitory was filled with rustling sounds. She took the basin to the bathroom to wash her face and continued to study intensively.
After class, she met up with Li Feidan and Zhao Xiaogu, and went together to sign up for the school gymnastics team.
Qiu Yuling knew that period of history. Since China held the 4th World Gymnastics Championships in Moscow, Soviet Union in July 1958, it has begun to train gymnasts.
Special recruitment for sports schools and poaching of talent from major universities are common occurrences.
They even recruited a lot of "paratroopers" from all over the world, who played important roles in various sports events.
Therefore, actively participating in sports recruitment and events is also a reflection of a person's positive and mental outlook.
When we arrived at the designated classroom, it was crowded with students who were all positive-minded.
