Ning Xiyue smiled friendly and introduced herself: "Yes, hello, my name is Ning Xiyue, majoring in chemical industry."
"My name is Chen Yetu, majoring in economics." Chen Yetu nodded and briefly introduced himself.
"Hello, my name is Zhang Yuanyuan. I'm from southern Fujian. Like you, Xiyue, I'm studying chemical industry. We're in the same class. This is great! I thought I was the only one in this dormitory. Now I have company in class. From now on, we'll be roommates."
Zhang Yuanyuan, who was speaking, had a round face with two faint dimples when she smiled. She had two long black braids and wore a brand new cotton-padded jacket. She was enthusiastic when she spoke and was a cheerful and lively girl.
"My name is Xu Qiuhong, I'm from southern Yunnan. Ye Chu and I have the same major, Economics, and we're in the same class."
This roommate named Xu Hong has a firm look in his eyes and neat short hair that reaches his ears. He looks older and his clothes are grayish but clean. He speaks openly and moves skillfully, which makes him a pleasant person to look at.
"It seems that our dormitory is a mixed dormitory for economics and chemistry majors, so two people can be together." Ning Xiyue said with a smile while wiping the cabinet.
After the initial contact, Ning Xiyue had a rough idea in her mind that her two roommates seemed to be pretty good people. The first impression was good, and she was looking forward to getting along with them in the future.
"Indeed, we can still share the class." Zhang Yuanyuan pointed to the bucket of water in the middle and said, "We can use it together. It's rare for you to go get water."
"Yes, you guys can use a basin to collect it. There is too much dust on the bed and it cannot be cleaned without some water." Xu Qiuhong nodded in agreement.
"Thank you very much, I just wanted to go get some water."
Ning Xiyue took out a basin and pulled Chen Yechu over to fill it.
"Thank you." Chen Yetu filled the basin with water and thanked.
"You're welcome. We're all roommates, so it's only natural for us to help each other."
Zhang Yuanyuan waved her hand generously, then asked curiously, "Xiyue, Ye Chu, I see you two get along very well. Did you know each other before?"
Ning Xiyue and Chen Yechu smiled at each other and said in unison, "Yes."
There was nothing to hide, so Ning Xiyue briefly explained their relationship: "Ye Chu and I were both sent to the countryside from the same batch of educated youth. We've known each other for two and a half years and are friends."
Xu Qiuhong envied, "You two are so destined to be together. You got into the same university and live in the same dormitory. My good friend who I met when I went to the countryside is now worlds apart."
Chen Yechu wiped the dust off the bed and replied, "There are even better connections. We lived in the same room when we went to the countryside, so we are very familiar with each other."
"I really envy your friendship and admire you all. You three are amazing. Being sent to the countryside as educated youth was so tiring, and you had to study while working. If it were me, I would probably just fail the college entrance exam, let alone be as outstanding as you three."
Zhang Yuanyuan, a female comrade who had never been to the countryside, looked at the other three roommates with loving eyes and admiration in her eyes.
"What's there to admire about this? Yuanyuan, you're worthy of admiration for being able to stand here and study at a university. Everyone in our school is worthy of admiration. I'm not bragging, but how many people in the entire county can get into university, and how many can get into our school, right?"
After Xu Qiuhong finished speaking, she started laughing. She was happy that she became a member of this school and that her hard work had finally paid off.
Although Xu Qiuhong said it a bit bluntly, it is indeed the fact.
Not to mention that this is the first year of the resumption of the college entrance examination. There are many candidates and the admission rate is low. It is very good to be able to get into a technical secondary school. Getting into the top university is a fighter among the Wenquxing.
Even in the future when everything is well developed, not many people in a province can get into this top university, and it is a school that everyone aspires to.
Zhang Yuanyuan doesn't need to underestimate herself at all, she has the ability.
Ning Xiyue and Chen Yechu both nodded in agreement with Xu Qiuhong's words.
Chen Yechu continued, "That's true. The students who were able to get into our school have put in a lot of effort, both in terms of willpower and hard work. They are all worthy of admiration. So, Yuanyuan, you are also very impressive and excellent."
Ning Xiyue patted Zhang Yuanyuan on the shoulder and said proudly, "Let's all be confident. Being able to get into this school has already surpassed 99% of our peers. If we study hard in the future, our life will not be bad."
"Well, I'm so happy to have good roommates like you." Zhang Yuanyuan said with emotion. An idea suddenly flashed in her mind. She looked at the other three with shining eyes and suggested: "How about the four of us becoming sworn brothers? I'm 19 years old. Xiyue, Yechu, Qiuhong, how old are you?"
Ning Xiyue didn't object to the sworn brotherhood and told her her age: "I'll be 20 in two months."
"I'm 20 years old." Chen Yechu saw Ning Xiyue's tacit attitude, and she also agreed.
Qiuhong smiled unceremoniously: "I'm 22 years old. It seems that I am the oldest. You all have to call me sister."
"I'm the second one." Chen Yetu raised his hand.
Ning Xiyue wilted: "I'm the third oldest."
Why is she always the third one?
"I'm the youngest, Xiao Si." Zhang Yuanyuan was very excited. She suddenly had three older sisters. "Wait for me."
Zhang Yuanyuan ran back to her desk area, took out a small package and a piece of homework paper from the drawer, thought for a while, picked up a large teacup, and ran over excitedly.
Ning Xiyue didn't stop when she saw the little girl coming over with something.
He closed the dormitory door, wiped the table facing the door, put the water cup on the edge of the table, carefully unfolded the homework paper in his hand, and stood it up against the water cup with a respectful expression.
Ning Xiyue leaned over to take a look and saw a pen drawing of a person wearing gorgeous clothes and a crown on his head on the paper.
"This is?"
"Hush, this is our Southern Fujian goddess Mazu. I specially asked for it. Before the college entrance examination, I secretly went to the stone temple to ask for it. I asked Mazu for permission and then painted the portrait. It was she who blessed me to be admitted to Huazhong University."
Zhang Yuanyuan lowered her voice to the lowest level and whispered:
"I only dare to take it out because I get along with you. Let's become sworn brothers in front of Mazu today. Let her witness our friendship, which will surely last forever."
"good."
Although there were many taboos in that era, the three of them respected Zhang Yuanyuan's beliefs very much, and looked at the small portrait on the paper with solemn expressions and awe in their eyes.
Zhang Yuanyuan was very happy to see their reactions. She was right about the people.
He opened the bag and it was full of dried sweet potatoes.
Someone placed a dried sweet potato in front of the portrait of Mazu.
Then each of them took three dried sweet potatoes, holding them in both hands like incense sticks. The four of them stood in a row in front of the statue according to their age and bowed to each other.
"I'm Xu Qiuhong."
"I am Chen Yechu."
"I am Ning Xiyue."
"I'm Zhang Yuanyuan."
