Chapter 219 She Misses Huo Jianguo
Principal Lin did not agree to Su Mei's proposal for dual cultivation, but he did not reject it either. He said that he would discuss the matter with the school, and if the school leadership had no objection, he would report it to his superiors for a decision.
For such a big matter, Su Mei also understood that the principal could not make a decision directly.
She didn't hold out much hope. After all, this was unprecedented and she felt it would be difficult to make an exception.
Proposing dual cultivation is nothing more than a final fight for yourself.
Because she was not sure whether she could study both subjects, Su Mei did not register that day and went straight back to the yard behind the university.
She walked into the yard and found that it had been cleaned. Li Shufen was wiping the furniture in the house with water, making sure every corner was spotless.
Su Mei didn't help either. Since there wasn't much to do at home, she let Li Shufen do it alone.
Only if she has something to do will she not be bored here.
After watching Li Shufen clean every place, Su Mei called Li Shufen and Qiuqiu to go out to buy food and daily necessities.
There was a farmers' market near the school, where Su Mei bought rice, flour, meat, potatoes and vegetables.
Including a new washbasin, pots and pans, toiletries, bedding... I bought a lot of things.
After buying all the things, Li Shufen found that Su Mei had spent nearly two hundred yuan.
Looking at those things, Li Shufen held the two hundred yuan in her pocket tightly. She also said that with two hundred yuan, she could live in Yanjing for at least half a year.
After coming to Yanjing, I realized that I had to buy everything, and the two hundred yuan was not enough.
Su Mei saw the burden in Li Shufen's heart and advised her, "Everything is difficult at the beginning. We just arrived and we have a lot of things to buy and we will definitely spend a lot of money.
You won’t have to spend so much later. Don’t forget that you saved me 400 yuan yesterday. All these things were saved by my sister-in-law.”
"Well, now that I'm here, I won't think about these things anymore." Seeing that Su Mei had been observing her emotions and accommodating her, Lin Shufen felt a little embarrassed.
She let out a long breath and secretly decided to live her present life well.
There were too many things to carry back with just two people, so Su Mei called two tricycles, one to deliver the things and one to carry the people.
After arriving home and putting down all her things, Su Mei went to buy a tank of gas.
The gas station was right at the entrance of the alley, and since it wasn't too far away, Su Mei and Li Shufen carried it back together.
The two adults didn't seem tired running around like this, but Qiuqiu felt sorry for her. The little girl followed her aunt and mother around and was so tired that she didn't even want to talk.
After taking the gas tank home, Su Mei taught Li Shufen how to use it.
Li Shufen found it very novel to see flames burst out when a switch was turned:
"This thing is good. It doesn't produce smoke when burning. You can get fire by twisting it. I will buy one to use in my hometown in the future."
Bring it back home? Su Mei smiled and said:
"Sister, if you dare to carry this stuff to the train station, I think you will be shot on the spot by the police."
"Why is that?" Li Shufen was puzzled.
"This thing is very dangerous. You must never forget to close the valve, otherwise it will explode when exposed to open flames. It is ignited by the gas in the tank, and it will leak out if the valve is not closed.
This gas is not inexhaustible; it will run out, and then we'll have to carry it outside to refill it.
However, this large pot should be enough to burn for a month or two."
"We need to add gas, and it costs money? That's better than burning firewood in the countryside." Li Shufen said, taking the basin bought by Su Mei and fetching a bucket of water from the well in the yard.
Start boiling water for washing your feet in a pot.
After putting the water on the stove, Li Shufen started to make the beds. She first made the bed for Su Mei in the master bedroom, and after cleaning it, she went to the side room to make the beds for herself and Qiuqiu.
By the time the beds were all made, the water in the pot began to boil.
The three of them washed their faces and feet, and then went back to their own rooms.
Looking at the dim light in the room, Li Shufen's eyes became gentler than they had been in these years.
She had never thought that she would come to such a big city and live in a house with electricity.
In the master bedroom, Su Mei tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. She felt nothing during the busy day, but when it was late at night and everything was quiet, Huo Jianguo would burst into her mind with a smile.
The two had only been separated for more than twenty days, but to Su Mei it felt as if it had been several months.
She used to be unsure about her feelings, until they broke up and she felt empty and lost inside. Only then did she realize that during that year, her heart had already been occupied by Huo Jianguo.
Under the light, she took out the notebook she usually used to write her medical diary from her bag and turned to the note tucked in the middle.
I stared blankly at the only five words she allowed to appear on the note:
"I love you forever!"
Just taking a look at the note, Su Mei's lips unconsciously filled with a smile. She stuffed the note tightly into her pocket and held the notebook in her arms -
She missed Huo Jianguo.
That night, Huo Jianguo gently broke into Su Mei's dream.
