Qiu Yuling herself has long passed the stage where she likes to read other people's faces, so she may have encountered this before, but she never takes other people's happiness or unhappiness to heart.
Even if the people she cares about have some bad things, she will nag about them, but she will still worry about the people she should worry about, such as Qiu's mother and others.
She didn't care about the people and things, even if it was getting on and off the bed, even if they slept in the same dormitory. As long as Li Feidan and Zhao Xiaogu didn't mention these lawsuits today, she had never paid any attention to them.
So when I listened to the gossip between these girls, I felt curious but not too distressed.
What does it have to do with her? What does it have to do with her?
"Our Yuling has a good point, which is her broad mind. She looks smart, but all her intelligence is spent on studying. She never thinks about worldly matters. This kind of mind is something many people can't cultivate."
Li Feidan put his arm around Qiu Yuling's neck and pinched her chubby cheeks.
"Our little Gu is the same. Although she is small, she is smart." As the eldest sister among the three, Li Feidan did not favor one over the other. After praising one, she also praised that one.
Zhao Xiaogu looked proud.
She raised her head, her braid almost hitting someone's face. "That's right, I don't like people who are like this today and like that tomorrow. I especially hate the kind of people who are nice to you today and nice to her tomorrow."
Her grandmother only has one son and one daughter, her aunt only has two children, and her own family also has only two. Compared with most families, the population is as simple as it can be.
I have never had to worry about such things since I was a child. I am most afraid of such things and I am also most annoyed by them.
Li Feidan also talked about the population of her family. It was relatively simple. Her two aunts took care of her father, and each family had three children. She was the second child in the family, and she had an older brother and a younger sister.
While introducing herself, Qiu Yuling thought to herself that eugenics and good parenting are applicable at all times.
Look at these kids, they have promising futures. Although there are also some children from poor families, it is easier for people with fewer children to have higher quality.
Qiu Yuling didn't form a small group with the two of them from then on, but she did have an emotional inclination towards them. Although she didn't show it on her face, she gradually came to regard them as long-term friends in her heart.
I don’t know what happened, but that day Qiusha was as enthusiastic as ever and said she wanted to help Qiu Yuling wash clothes.
Qiu Yuling refused. When she was given soap as support, she was asked to help brush shoes once. Later, she used her points to wash and dry the shoes at the same time. It was so convenient.
Before I knew his character very well, I was still so cautious. It doesn't make sense that after being classmates for almost a year and knowing each other well, he is still so ignorant.
"Well, can you lend me your soap?"
"It will be gone soon. If you don't believe me, just look. I can hardly hold it." Her soap was in the box of the washbasin. She pointed with one finger and told Qiusha to open it and have a look if she didn't believe it.
Qiusha didn't look at it. "Do you have any new ones? Can you sell them to me at the same price as before?"
She seemed a little embarrassed as she spoke, and her voice lowered.
Qiu Yuling shook her head. "It's really gone. Come up and see, my upper cabinet is completely empty. There's nothing left. I was thinking of making do with it until the holidays."
"Oh, that's okay." After saying that, she carried the basin of clothes and went to the dormitory opposite.
Qiu Yuling didn't say anything and was still curled up on her bed reading a book. Li Feidan kicked her quilt through the headboard.
When Qiu Yuling looked up, he winked at her and said, "Look, you've had a falling out with Xiaobai too."
Bai Qiaolan happened to come back with a droopy face, "What the hell?"
Liu Xiaofang went up to her and asked her what was wrong?
"She asked to borrow something, and I didn't say anything, but she was embarrassed and rushed to wash this and rinse that, and I couldn't stop her.
My goodness, she went out and said that I ordered her to do this and that. I have never seen such a useless person. She thinks everyone is a fool.
I'm just putting it out there, don't say you won't be able to use my things in the future. In this dormitory, I'll get rid of every one of them. If you don't believe me, just wait and see!" The last sentence was shouted directly at the person opposite.
The students below all gathered around and chattered, only Qiu Yuling and Li Feidan remained in their beds and did not join in the fun.
Where there are people, there are right and wrong. Things that are together for a long time will eventually separate, and things that are apart for a long time will eventually come together.
If she follows him around and makes a fuss today, and he wears a new pair of pants tomorrow, the person next to her will be like Zhu Bajie looking in the mirror, feeling neither human nor unkind.
Li Feidan had the same idea. He disliked her but didn't say anything. At most, he stayed away from her.
"Come on, Yuling, let's go get some food." It was almost time, Li Feidan closed the book and called Qiu Yuling who was half curled up in the quilt.
While responding, Qiu Yuling took down another aluminum lunch box from the cabinet above her head. It was filled with pickles brought from the old man.
She now even saves money on pickles in the cafeteria, which makes her seem even more frugal.
"Next time, just put your things in my cabinet, so you don't have to climb up and down and spill them on the bedding." Li Feidan first helped to catch the lunch box of pickles from below, and then Qiu Yuling climbed down nimbly.
"Okay, then let's eat together. We'll have a holiday in a few days, and if we don't eat now, we won't be able to finish it."
"Then I'll give you money."
“Then you’d better not eat it.”
“…”
The girls were laughing and joking. They lined up separately in the cafeteria, some for dishes, some for porridge, and some for steamed buns. They were very efficient.
Qiu Yuling broke the steamed bun, spread a layer of chili oil on it, put some pickled vegetables in it, closed the bun, and ate a mouthful of porridge and a mouthful of steamed bun with the vegetables.
"Yuling, try the stew I made today and take a meatball." Zhao Xiaogu pushed the lunch box over and insisted that Qiu Yuling take one.
No matter how much she tried to persuade him, Qiu Yuling refused. "When next semester comes, I'll let you two try the rabbit meat sauce my mother makes. It's amazing with the steamed bun."
"Then I'll wait."
"Um."
Next came the final exams in full swing. The atmosphere was tense and exciting. After taking the last subject, we finished cleaning the school.
This time the school did not organize work-study programs for everyone before the holiday. The students arranged their own transportation according to the distance from their homes and went home one after another.
At that time, bedding was in short supply in every household and no one left their bedding at school. Qiu Yuling rode her bicycle to deliver Zhao Xiaogu and Li Feidan's luggage to the bus stop one after another.
Then she returned to the dormitory and tidied herself. She was the last one to go. She tied up her bedding and finished the last bit of cleaning. Then she locked the door and went to hand in the key to the dormitory management.
He tied it to the back rack of the bicycle, hummed a tune, and rode towards the staff quarters of the machinery factory.
The old man received a letter a few days ago, confirming that his daughter and her family from Beijing would be back this year. Qiu Yuling thought about tidying up her little house, keeping what should be kept and taking away what should be taken away, so that it would be convenient for their family to use when they came.
"Just leave it like this, lock it up, take the key away. They can live here even if they keep their belongings there. It doesn't make sense that they can't live here once they see it's been cleaned up. Don't worry, I'll just say it's rented out and don't let anyone touch it."
