On Sunday, Ye Tian was resting and Li Yue didn't go home either, so the four girls in the dormitory made an appointment to go shopping together.
Although online shopping is extremely developed nowadays, people still like to go out to eat, shop, watch movies, and experience the joy of trying on clothes directly in physical stores.
Students often enjoy frequenting fast-fashion chains, where they find affordable clothing and a wide selection of basic styles, allowing them to create their own wardrobe. Affluent women like Li Yue typically buy more expensive luxury brands. However, she's easygoing and low-key, not prone to displaying. Even when she's not buying anything herself, she's always willing to hang out with her roommates.
This was Ye Tian's first time shopping, and everything she saw was new to her. She had a lot of things she wanted to buy; the season was about to change, and she didn't have any thick clothes yet. She also wanted to buy a new bottle of shampoo; her old bottle, which cost a few dollars, was too hard to use.
Her hair quality is not good, so she needs to change to a better shampoo and buy a bottle of conditioner. She used to take good care of her hair, but now she can't get used to this dry straw.
She also wanted to buy some hand cream. Working in the kitchen all day had made her hands rougher and needed some care. She even wanted to replace her daily necessities, like towels, toothpaste, and toothbrushes, but her roommate, Lu Xinyi, stopped her.
"Tiantian, don't buy anything yet. Don't spend the money you just earned. Double Eleven is coming soon and the promotions are huge. It would be great if we could buy together then." Lu Xinyi has rich shopping experience and had already made a shopping plan.
So, Ye Tian only bought a sweatshirt, a windbreaker, and a pair of trousers, and waited until the Double 11 shopping event to buy the rest with Lu Xinyi. However, after buying the clothes, her small treasury of 1,400 yuan shrank to less than 1,000 yuan.
Except for Li Yue, they all bought clothes, especially Lu Xinyi. She advised Ye Tian not to spend money indiscriminately, but she herself couldn't control herself and bought a lot of clothes.
At noon, everyone went to a spicy hotpot chain. They ordered their favorite dishes. The dishes were boiling with red oil and steaming hot. The girls enjoyed the meal very much.
Originally, they were supposed to split the bill, but Lu Xinyi and Li Yue both rushed to pay. In the end, it was Li Yue who paid, but the girls agreed that from now on, each of them would take turns paying once, and Li Yue would not be allowed to rush to pay the bill.
Ye Tian's world had hotpot, so she was no stranger to it. She wanted to try everything she hadn't tried before, so she devoured goose intestines, brain flower, and yellow throat with great pleasure. Of course, her favorite was the green bamboo shoots. The spicy base gave it a flavor beyond its natural flavor, and combined with the crispness of the original, it was simply delicious!
Ye Tian felt that the spicy hotpot she had now had was more flavorful than the bone broth hotpot she had eaten before, and the spicy taste was very satisfying. Paired with the happy fat house water she had for the first time - Coke, it was so refreshing!
She also wanted to treat everyone to a meal, but she wasn't financially capable enough yet, so she decided to continue working hard to earn money. However, she wanted everyone to try her cooking, but she had no place to go. Unexpectedly, an opportunity came her way.
…
It's been over a month since the start of school, and the classmates haven't had a reunion yet. Some of them look familiar, but they can't remember their names. So the class committee decided to organize an autumn outing for everyone, which would not only help them relax, but also allow them to bond and get to know each other better.
Their plan was to go to a country park not far from the school for a barbecue, each paying 100 yuan. If it had been a few days earlier, Ye Tian might not have gone because she didn't even have 100 yuan. Fortunately, she and Lu Xinyi had earned some money together, and the cafeteria also paid her part-time salary, so she could easily participate in group activities.
In fact, Zhao Yu had approached her before and asked if she wanted to apply for poverty assistance, but she thought about it and gave up. Although she had no money, she believed she had the ability to earn money and could still support her studies and life. She thought it would be better to give the assistance to students who needed it more.
The weather was very good on the day of the autumn outing, with bright sunshine and crisp autumn air.
Almost all of the 40-plus students in the class were there, excited and chirping like birds out of a cage. Ye Tian was also infected by their youthful spirit and felt like she was back in her teenage years. Although learning to cook was hard, it was also very happy.
The class committee had already rented a grill and bought food, seasonings, and drinks. They had everything they needed, including chicken wings, corn, leeks, eggplant, and lamb skewers. The students were eager to try, imagining how they would grill the delicious food.
When it came time to light the charcoal, many people were stumped by this first hurdle. Two boys, unconvinced, rushed to try, but after a long time, neither of them could get it lit. The monitor had no choice but to ask the staff to borrow a spray gun.
"Let me do it!" Ye Tian couldn't bear to watch. As an ancient person, lighting charcoal fire was a piece of cake for her. She lit it in two or three strokes.
"Wow! That's amazing!" The classmates in the class cheered.
They hadn't usually paid much attention to Ye Tian. In their dorm, Li Yue was a beautiful, wealthy woman, a standout; Zhao Yu was a good student and the League Secretary, an active member of the school; and Lv Xinyi was outgoing, pleasant-looking, and could strike up a conversation with anyone, a delicate little beauty. Only Ye Tian was skinny, quiet, and had no presence, truly inconspicuous.
I took a look today: Hey, Ye Tian seems different from when school started. There are four of them in one dormitory. It’s really easy for beautiful and outstanding girls to get together!
After Ye Tian helped to distribute the lit charcoal into several stoves and made the charcoal fire burn brightly, the classmates took the food and prepared to start grilling.
Seeing everyone pick up chicken wings and meat skewers and put them on the fire to start grilling, Ye Tian also took a handful of lamb skewers and sat next to a grill with her roommate to grill them.
After a while, before everyone could smell the aroma of barbecue, they smelled the smell of burnt food first.
"Oh no...oh no, the front of your chicken wings is burnt!"
"Fire! Your kebab is burning!"
The sound of laughter was heard one after another.
