Xu Manya recalled, "There are no small tables like mine anymore, but my cousin modified his by using a large chair. The legs fit perfectly on top of mine. You can go and look for a suitable chair.
If all else fails, you can just find some wood planks and piece one together. I was planning to go find some today, but I came across some ready-made ones."
The eldest, Huang Lijuan, nodded. "This thing is really good. You can read and write in bed. Besides, the wood at the scrap yard is cheap. Who of you wants it? Why don't we go take a look together tomorrow?"
As soon as these words were spoken, they were responded to by others, and even the second child Cai Mei joined in.
When Xu Manman came back with the kettle of water, the atmosphere in the dormitory had become much quieter and the top students started studying again.
When Xu Manman finished washing up and sat at the table to read a book, the fifth child leaned over and said, "Youngest, you haven't been to the school bathhouse yet, have you?"
Xu Manman froze when she heard this. Yes, although she took a shower every day in the space, she only washed her feet and face outside. Now she has to go to the bathhouse to take a shower. She has never been there once.
In the eyes of others, isn’t it just that she has been here for such a long time and has never taken a shower? In the eyes of others, isn’t she the king of slovenliness? ??? ???
She pursed her lips and replied quietly, "Not yet, I'm planning to go tomorrow, what's wrong?"
Yang Yang didn't notice her unnaturalness. "Today I followed my elder sister to the bathhouse. It turned out that so many people were together, bathing in the same pool, and scrubbing each other's backs. I saw everything..." Thinking of the grand scene she saw today, Yang Yang's face turned red again.
Compared with Beijing, her hometown in central Hunan is considered to be in the south. She has never experienced the bathhouse culture here, and she was really shocked today.
"I was crouching the entire time and didn't dare to stand up straight. Was it the same when you went to the countryside in the north?"
Xu Manman shook her head. "We have a separate bathroom at our educated youth camp. There should be a bathhouse in the city, but I haven't been there."
Yang Yang, looking like someone who had just come over, patted her on the shoulder and said, "Then you should be mentally prepared when you go tomorrow. It's really... shocking."
Xu Manman was a little speechless at the moment. She had used the bathhouse incident to scare Liu Li, but now it had become a problem that she had to face.
But she still had to go. There were still more than three years of university left, and she couldn't use deceptive methods every time. She didn't dare to underestimate the eyesight of students from Peking University and Tsinghua University.
After washing up and going to bed, I used the new bedside table and it felt really comfortable. It was a solid wood table and was stable and didn't shake. It was better than the folding one I had in my previous life.
Xu Manman was not reading or studying at this moment. Instead, she took a stack of newspapers and was recording mailing addresses, contact information, and writing preferences for different newspaper layouts.
She thought about "renting" the small courtyard outside the school, or buying it openly, so that she would have a visible source of income.
After a while, there was a surge of educated youth returning home, and even temporary workers had to squeeze in, so it was not her turn to find a part-time job.
So as a student, all you can do is tutor, write, or translate.
Home tutoring is not popular now, so the most convenient things to do are writing and translation.
The latter two can be handled directly by finding a publishing house, and this group can be considered as a higher-income group now, especially translators, who are even more scarce.
As for writing, Xu Manman wants to write a short story first to test the waters. As for translation, she will directly translate an article and send it to others to let them see her ability and recommend herself.
If everything goes well, she can do both jobs for a long time. Even if further studies and staying in school don't go well, she can use this as an excuse to stay at home and slack off.
In short, everything now is to prepare for lying down in the future and not being a slave working 996.
When she returned to the space late at night, Xiao Jin immediately appeared before her eyes, "Host."
Xu Manman rubbed her stomach and said, "Xiao Jin, please help me get some digestive tablets or hawthorn pills." She ate too much during the day, and the food was too much and too varied. Her stomach still feels bloated after such a long time.
Xiao Jin immediately switched back to his doctor form, grabbed Xu Manman's hand and began to feel her pulse, confirming that she had simply eaten too much. "Host, please wait a moment. Xiao Jin will prepare the hawthorn drink. You'll be fine after drinking it, but don't bathe within the next three hours."
Xu Manman nodded and said, "Go ahead. I won't take a shower right now."
After Xiao Jin went to the pharmacy, Xu Manman came to the castle's small garden for a walk, pressing the acupoints on her hands while walking.
