Xu Manman also laughed, thinking that in her previous life, she was also the youngest in the dormitory when she was in college, but she was elected as the dormitory leader by her roommates. She worked hard at such a young age.
In this life, as the youngest once again, she just wants to play badly.
Xu Manman climbed onto the upper bunk and rearranged the bed. She first pasted a double layer of newspaper on the two walls to prevent dust. The paste was bought at the supply and marketing cooperative yesterday.
He took out the sheets and quilt covers to cover the bedding, folded them and put them aside first. He then took out some nails and nailed hooks on the four corners of the top. He took out the bed curtains from his luggage and hung them up. Although he couldn't enter the space safely this way, at least he could block the view from outside and leave himself some privacy.
Although everyone in the dormitory was doing their own things, they were actually quietly paying attention to the actions of the new youngest one.
The fifth one was the first to lose his temper. "Little sister, where did you buy this curtain? It really looks pretty good when it's hung like this."
Xu Manman explained, "These were the door curtains and drapes that hung in the house I lived in when I went to the countryside. I took them down before I left and changed them into this."
Nowadays, people with poor conditions cannot afford to buy a new set of clothes all year round. If you use so much new cloth to make curtains, it would be too ostentatious.
However, she was using homespun cloth at the time, which had been used for several years and had been washed, so the color did look old, but there were no patches on it.
The third child came over to see the effect while holding her belly. "This is really good. It can block out the light when you rest. This should be possible with a few sets of old clothes. I'll go home tomorrow and ask my mother to make a set for me."
"It can be done. Our beds have two sides against the wall, so we just need to sew the other two sides facing outwards. Sew them on the top and thread them through, so that they can be opened like curtains." Xu Manman showed everyone.
The fourth brother asked, "Manman, how wide and long is this one you made?"
Xu Manman replied one by one. The third and fourth sons, who were locals, were interested in making it. Although the fifth son was from another place, it was obvious that his family was not short of money. He directly said that he would go to the supply and marketing cooperative another day to see if there was any defective cloth or local cloth to make it.
The eldest brother also looked over and said, "It's good, but if I had this cloth, I could make two or three sets of clothes for my daughter by altering it."
You can tell the family situation of each family from a door curtain and the clothes worn by each person.
There are 4 watches in the dormitory. In addition to Xu Manman, they are the third and fourth locals, and the fifth one from Hubei Province. Their watches are not brand new, but they are all in good condition without any patches. Moreover, all four of them wear leather shoes, but of different styles.
Compared in this way, there is a big difference between the eldest and the second oldest.
The eldest brother's cotton-padded jacket was dusty, with patches on the cuffs and elbows. The sheets on his bed were also covered with large patches. However, perhaps because he was older and had experienced more, the eldest brother was more stable. Despite this contrast in family background, he could still get along with everyone calmly.
The second child, on the other hand, communicated less with everyone. As soon as Xu Manman entered the room, she started packing her things on the bed. After she finished making the bed, she took a book and sat on the bed to read. She didn't get out of bed until Xu Manman had packed up all her things and took the lunch box to go out.
Chen Ming was afraid that there would be too many people and Xu Manman would not be able to see him, so he did not dare to enter the cafeteria and just stood in the open space by the roadside waiting.
Xu Manman ran over quickly with the lunch box, "Cousin."
"Manman." Chen Ming was about to ask his cousin if she was adapting to the dormitory.
Then I heard someone behind me calling, "Manman!", "Youngest."
Xu Manman turned her head and almost forgot that she had just come here with the people in the dormitory.
Yang Yang walked forward and looked at Chen Ming curiously. "I was wondering why you were running so fast. It turns out you ran into someone you know."
"We're acquaintances, almost 20 years. He's my eldest cousin, a computer science major, and um... single."
When Yang Yang heard this, he saw that Chen Ming was a little embarrassed, "Ah, it turns out to be my cousin."
The eldest, third, and fourth brothers who followed also heard it, and it was the eldest brother who spoke up, "It's so cold, let's not stay outside in the wind, let's go in and line up."
Indeed, although it can be said that it is spring, the wind outside is quite strong. After blowing for a while, Xu Manman felt her face was cold and dry.
After everyone went in, Xu Manman and Chen Ming walked behind. "Those were my roommates just now. They are all older than me. There was also one who was ranked second in age, but he didn't come with us this time."
