Chapter 271 There is only one Lu Dongping
Wen Wan lay in bed listening to the child's soft sobs, feeling heavy in the heart.
She didn't know when she fell asleep. She felt drowsy and it seemed like she was no longer in the capital, but back in Lujiazui.
Dandan was still small, round and smooth. He rolled around on the bamboo mat wearing the small bag she had sewn for him, giggling.
Lu Dongping came in from outside to pick him up. As soon as he picked him up, he urinated and peed all over Lu Dongping.
When Wen Wan woke up from the dream, she was still in a daze and didn't know where she was. She felt around, but there was neither Lu Dongping nor Dandan.
Her face was wet, she opened her eyes and closed them again, wanting to continue dreaming.
Unfortunately, I can’t fall asleep no matter what.
After a while, it was already light outside and there was movement inside the house.
Neither of them liked to sleep in, but they didn't turn on the lights. They just put on their clothes and got up.
Wen Wan lay there motionless, listening to Qi Layue coaxing Qi Chunxue in her soft voice. When she thought of that dream, she felt so uncomfortable that she couldn't breathe.
She waited until everyone in the dormitory got up before she sat up, put on her clothes, tidied her quilt and went out.
Hu Shuangshuang was the most cheerful person in the dormitory and could talk to anyone. When she saw Wen Wan getting up, she asked her, "Classes don't start until tomorrow. What are we going to do today?"
It's not that I'm asking for Wen Wan's opinion, it's simply because I've just arrived and I'm unfamiliar with the place. After all, the people in the dormitory already know each other's names and have slept together for a night, so we all know each other. It feels better to go out together.
Wen Wan hadn't washed up yet, and she was feeling listless after that dream. "Let's go out for a walk later and find out where the cafeteria, library, and classroom we're going to are, so we don't get lost in the dark."
As he said that, he took the cup and basin and went to the sink outside to wash up.
There are twenty rooms on one floor, and many people are used to getting up early, so it is quite lively.
Everyone, whether they know each other or not, will greet each other: "Hello, classmate!"
Wen Wan also replied: "Hello, classmate!"
By the time I combed my hair and started applying face cream, the depression in my heart had completely dissipated.
Hu Shuangshuang had already packed up and was sitting on the edge of the bed, her legs swinging restlessly on the ground as she stared at Wen Wan: "What are you applying? It smells so good."
"vanishing cream."
Hu Shuangshuang sniffed: "This stuff is not cheap, is it? Few people in our place are willing to use this, they all use rancid oil." Sure enough, people in big cities are rich, they look good, dress well, and use good things.
Wen Wan rubbed her face, put away the boxes, locked them all in the cabinet, and then said: "It's not expensive. After all, you only apply it in the morning and evening, and the face is such a small area." As for her body, she also has to apply it after taking a shower, but there is no need to talk about it here.
Li Lai Yu sat there still without saying a word, but he looked at her several times.
Wen Wan met her gaze again. She did not avoid it and even smiled, which was rare for her.
After packing everything, she slung the army green canvas bag over her shoulder and smiled at Qi Chunxue: "Let's go! Let's go!"
Li Jing asked, "Do you want to bring lunch boxes? We can go directly to the cafeteria when we're almost gone, otherwise we'll have to run back."
Someone immediately chimed in: "Well, we have to take it. This school is too big. We have to go around and back again. It's troublesome."
A group of people went out talking and laughing.
Qi Layue walked slower. She held the child in her arms when she went downstairs. After she got down, she put the child on the ground, held her hand, and followed Wen Wan and the others.
In the morning of the first month of the year at Huazhong University of Science and Technology, there was still a biting chill. Wen Wan hissed, reached out and pulled the scarf up again, wrapped herself in the scarf and put on the hat, leaving only a pair of big eyes exposed.
"Are we up too early?"
It wasn’t too early, as it was already bright outside, and classmates were walking down from the dormitory building from time to time.
White smoke came out of the mouths of several people when they breathed.
"It's not early anymore. I used to be up early when I was down there."
"Come on, which way do we go?"
Of course, I just follow the crowd and go wherever others go.
By the time Qi Chunxue found the classrooms frequently visited by the Department of Economics and Management and the library of Hua University, he could no longer walk.
We walked a lot and the sun came out.
A group of people went to the cafeteria.
The cafeteria in the school is quite large, with many windows. In front of each window is a small blackboard with today's offerings written on it.
When they arrived at the cafeteria, Wen Wan separated from a few people.
She went to get a bowl of soy milk and asked for a bun.
There were very few people getting food at the window. A bowl of soy milk cost three cents, a tea egg ten cents, and a steamed bun ten cents each. You also needed food stamps, so breakfast was a luxury, and not many people were willing to spend the money. Most people bought two mixed-grain noodles for five cents, a spoonful of vegetables for two cents, and a free bowl of soup, and they were full.
What surprised people was Li Lai Yu. The little girl was not very old, and her dark red clothes were so washed that they looked white. Even the quilt on her bed was full of patches. But Wen Wan didn't expect that she would go to the same window with her to get food, and she got a lot.
A bowl of soy milk, two steamed buns, and two tea eggs.
The buns in the school cafeteria are not small. They are as big as the mouth of the teacup they drink water from, and the stuffing inside is so bulging that it seems to be about to burst the bun skin.
Wen Wan only glanced at it and didn't look at it again. What to eat and how much to eat is a personal freedom and has nothing to do with others.
Li Laiyu didn't care and sat down across from her without a care. He ate very quickly, but with an indescribable elegance that startled Wen Wan.
After they finished eating and went to the sink to wash their lunch boxes, Wen Wan asked, "Classmate Li Laiyu, where are you from?"
Li Laiyu said, "Southwest China, Sichuan Province. What about you?"
Wen Wan said: "I am from here, but before I went to the countryside, I also went to the southwest, which is very close to Sichuan Province."
"Really? That's quite a coincidence."
As they were talking, the lunch boxes were washed. The two of them waited there for a while until the others in the dormitory were done.
Hu Shuangshuang asked them, "Where are you going now?"
Still shopping?
Qi Layue said, "I won't go shopping anymore. Chunxue can't walk anymore. I'll have to carry her on my back later. I'll take her back to the dormitory."
Wen Wan also said: "I won't go either."
Only the two of them didn't want to go. Everyone else was very interested and planned to tour the school before going outside to take a look.
Accommodating the child's pace, Wen Wan and Qi Layue walked slowly towards the dormitory together.
Qi Chunxue was in much better condition now than when she first arrived yesterday. Holding her mother's hand, she looked at Wen Wan timidly.
When Wen Wan looked at her, she hid behind Qi Layue again. Wen Wan found it very interesting and reached out to touch her.
The child was probably malnourished; he was extremely thin, with a sallow face devoid of flesh. It was practically skin and bones. His eyes stood out, and even his pale lips looked out of place.
When Wen Wan saw her, she thought of Dandan.
"How old is Haruyuki?"
Qi Chunxue looked at her without saying anything and even put his fingers in his mouth.
Wen Wan took out a candy from her pocket and said, "Tell me how old you are and I'll give you the candy, okay?"
Qi Chunxue shrank her neck, curious about the so-called candy, but only glanced at it twice because she didn't know what it was.
Wen Wan didn't force it. She took her little paw out of her mouth, peeled off the candy wrapper, and handed it to her mouth: "Come, ah, try it, this one is very sweet."
Qi Chunxue looked at her blankly, and after a long while, she turned back to look at her mother.
Qi Layue's nose and eyes were a little red. She didn't stop Qi Chunxue, nor was she polite to Wen Wan. Instead, she encouraged the child: "Auntie will give you delicious food, you eat it, and then say thank you to Auntie!"
Qi Chunxue then opened her mouth and bit the candy. The strange and unprecedented sweet taste with the aroma of milk filled her entire mouth.
She was so happy and delighted that she couldn't help but smile when she saw Wen Wan. She said to Wen Wan in a vague voice, "Thank you!"
Wen Wan touched her head happily, took her other hand and walked towards the dormitory with Qi Layue.
After walking a few steps, Qi Layue sniffed and said, "Classmate Wenwan, thank you!"
Wen Wan chuckled: "It's just a candy, what's there to thank me for?"
Qi Layue lowered her eyes for a moment, then raised them again, looking at the distant figure with a disappointed sigh: "I am a loser. Chunxue has never eaten candy in her life."
Wen Wan pursed her lips and said, "Don't say that. I think you're a very remarkable person. You're amazing for being able to get into Huazhong University, and for being able to bring your child here without abandoning her." She sighed softly and said, "The university provides a monthly subsidy, so it might be a little tight for you and the child, but you'll be able to survive. When she's older and can go to school, you'll have an easier time. Find a job first, and things will get better and better."
Solutions are all thought up by people. We have survived the most difficult times. There is no reason why it would be worse after getting to this point.
Qi Layue smiled and said, "Thank you!"
As they were talking, they had already reached the stairs of the dormitory.
As they walked one after the other, Wen Wancai said, "You don't have to be so polite to me. I also have children, and I know how difficult it is for you."
Qi Layue paused and turned to look at her: "You already have a child? I thought you weren't married yet!"
Wen Wan was happy: "Do I look very young?"
"Yes, she still looks like a girl."
"Then you're mistaken. I'm almost 24. I went to the countryside in the southwest a long time ago. I found a partner there and have a child, a boy, about the same age as Haruyuki."
Qi Hanyue opened his mouth, probably wanting to comfort her, but didn't know how to start.
Wen Wan waved her hand: "Let's go, don't look at me like that. My situation is different from yours."
As she walked, she said, "I have a very good relationship with my husband. When I took the college entrance examination, his family didn't agree. He didn't agree either, but he couldn't bear to see me sad. He was unhappy and still completed all the procedures for me and sent me back."
Sitting down on the bed in the dormitory, Qi Layue said, "College takes four years. It's so far away. Can he wait that long? Will you go back after you graduate?" Then wouldn't it be a waste of half a day's study?
Wen Wan said: "I don't know, but I won't divorce him." There are many men in the world, but there is only one Lu Dongping.
