There aren't many other changes in life in the new semester, except that the weather is getting colder day by day.
When they reunited after a holiday, the female classmates in the dormitory had all become darker, especially Qiusha and Zhang Caiyue, whose red cheeks became more obvious.
"Hey, Yuling, why don't you get tanned at all?" They didn't doubt at all that Qiu Yuling didn't work. The hangnails and small cuts on her hands were not something that someone who lived a life of luxury would have.
Qiu Yuling is indeed not afraid of the sun. Her face will turn red when exposed to the sun, but it will return to normal after the temperature cools down. What's more, she doesn't have to be exposed to the sun all day like Qiu's mother and others, and she doesn't wear a straw hat and scarf when going out.
After hearing Qiu Yuling's explanation, everyone still didn't let it go. "I also wear a straw hat and a scarf every day. Look, even my hands are black."
Qiu Yuling glanced at the hand Zhang Caiyue extended to her, and it was indeed a different color from her wrist.
Female students who can afford to go to school are not spoiled by their families, but they are definitely given enough attention. However, when they return home, they still have endless work to do and endless sunshine.
Everyone was talking and comparing with each other. Except for Bai Qiaolan, Li Feidan and Zhao Xiaogu, the rest looked like they had changed their skin.
People like Qiu Yuling who can’t get tanned don’t count.
"Yuling, this is what my mother asked me to bring to you." After everyone's enthusiasm cooled down, Li Feidan quietly handed over an oil-paper bag from the bedside.
"What?"
"You'll know after you see it."
When Qiu Yuling opened it, she saw a bag of dried shrimps.
Li Feidan whispered that it was her uncle who was serving in the coastal area and sent it over.
"You mentioned it last time. I brought it back when I got home. My mom said she ate so much of your food, so she asked me to bring it back to you. Don't worry, keep it. My uncle sends it to you often."
Qiu Yuling initially refused to accept it, saying it was too expensive. But then the man said he had come all the way to thank her, "Then I'll take it. I brought you something delicious, too."
Qiu Yuling also took out a bag of raisins and handed it to the other party, saying that it was sent by her fourth aunt from the new province and asked her to use it to sweeten her mouth.
The two of them avoided others, exchanged snacks, and were happy in their own way.
The girls in their dormitory are all from the same province, but their conditions are limited at the moment, so the food they brought to share is mostly available in various places.
The only difference is that some are abundant in that place, while they are relatively scarce in this place.
For example, Zhang Caiyue brought a small bag of dried sweet potatoes, and Liu Xiaofang brought small pumpkin buns, one for each person.
Zhao Xiaogu had peanuts, Yang Huihui shyly used her rice bowl to scoop out a bowl of sand dates, and Bai Qiaolan generously distributed fruit candies...
Everyone was waiting for Qiu Yuling's food. After putting her things away, Qiu Yuling took a small bag and slipped down from the bed.
She prepared dried red dates.
On the first day when everyone arrived, everyone put out the things they brought. No one cared if there was more or less. That's what it meant.
The eight of them crowded around the two lower bunks at the adjacent table, eating and chattering about their summer vacation experiences.
Some said the team's sow had given birth, some said it was a hedgehog caught in a ditch, and some said her mother was still taking folk remedies and trying to give birth to a younger brother...
In this dormitory, Bai Qiaolan's family financial situation is the least difficult.
What she talked about was also the most interesting, such as which aunt's house she visited during the holidays, or which Meihu opera she listened to.
When I was in the mood, I could even sing a short segment about [Zhang Lian Selling Cloth].
Liu Xiaofang can also sing, and the two of them even dressed up as actors.
Qiu Yuling commented, "Zhang Lian is truly a senior accountant. There's no account he can't handle. He can make up for anything his wife asks. It's a pinnacle showdown of emotional intelligence and IQ!"
"Of course."
Everyone started a discussion about Zhang Lian's emotional intelligence and IQ...
A week after school started, Qiu Yuling found work for everyone.
She used the names of relatives and co-workers to find jobs knitting sweaters and trousers for several classmates in the dormitory.
The point is that she has too many people to give gifts to. The last time she went back, she gave one each to the old principal and his wife. She hasn't brought any woolen pants yet, and Mr. and Mrs. Qiu's haven't come out yet.
The other one still had to have the second and third brothers, and as for the eldest brother, she didn't care about the married brother. But she had made arrangements for Huang Duoer, so how to arrange it was not her concern.
Qiusha has now become the main force. She doesn't send all her money back home. She also keeps some money for food. She knits a few sweaters and occasionally moves bricks for a few days. Her life has gone from just getting by to being quite comfortable.
Zhang Caiyue came closer and learned seriously. Yang Huihui took the order for woolen pants first.
Qiu Yuling was still thinking that everything was going as planned, but she didn't expect that a set of sweaters and trousers were sent to her in the package from her fourth aunt in Xinsheng.
It's made of thin thread, both red and black, with some black thread woven in, and it also has a black collar. You can tell at a glance that a lot of thought went into it.
When she opened the package, several girls in the dormitory came over to watch.
"Yuling, this collar is really special."
They learned the needlework from sample books, and there are not many styles, just round neck, sweetheart neck, open collar, pullover and so on.
They have never tried this kind of thing with a small collar and double threads.
Qiu Yuling generously asked them to learn from others first and she didn't rush to put it on for the time being.
She herself sent a large bag of cotton over there that weekend.
The plan is to make a set of cotton coat and trousers for her grandmother. I can also make one for my fourth aunt and one for the two little ones. I guess there will be some left over.
As for the rest, Li Qingju can make the quilt thicker or make something else.
The post office staff caught up with Qiu Yuling just as she turned the corner.
"Wait a minute, young comrade. Do you still have this cotton? Don't get me wrong, I can exchange it with tickets or something else."
"I'm sorry, comrade. My family has been saving for a long time and borrowing from relatives and friends. The problem is that it's too cold in New Province. They..."
Qiu Yuling didn't hesitate at all and refused directly. No matter what supplies or tickets the other party wanted to exchange, she was not tempted.
If I can change it inside, I really don’t want to get involved in the outside world.
"Ah? Oh, yeah, well, it's okay. I've seen you a few times, so I thought I'd ask. My sister is getting married next month, and I'd like to get a bed as a dowry.
That's okay, go ahead and do your work, I'll be in too."
Although Qiu Yuling always wants to buy this and that for her family, she never engages in speculation except for collecting and protecting those ancient books.
We must believe in the wisdom and eyes of the masses. Look, people have said that they have seen her several times. She will not be able to come here in the short term after being mailed to this place.
And next time she goes somewhere else, she should be more careful. It's best to disguise herself. Especially now that she's taller and less restricted, she can probably get away with a makeover.
