Xu Manman recalled that in her previous life, there was also a jujube tree in front of her relative's yard. In the summer, adults would use long bamboo poles to hit the jujubes on the higher parts of the tree, and children would hold their clothes under the tree to catch them. These were all childhood memories.
"Save it for the host to come back and fight. Just prepare some potions."
"No need, you can do it when the time comes. By the way, Xiao Jin, from now on, when you are outside, you have to call me classmate Xu. In fact, you can also call me Man Man in private. There is no need to call me host."
It was only at this time that Xu Manman remembered that there was something wrong with this name. Xiao Jin had always called the host in an electronic voice in her mind, and she had gotten used to it later.
Until today, when Xu Manman sat opposite Xiao Jin, a "human being", in this courtyard full of life, she felt extremely awkward when she heard that name again.
Xiao Jin was silent for a few seconds, and then he opened his lips slightly, "Man...Manman."
"...Yeah." Although she felt uncomfortable listening to the host just now, Xu Manman felt even more uncomfortable when she heard Xiao Jin calling her name. She comforted herself that she would get used to it in the future.
After the first call, Tongzi seemed to have turned on a switch and he called out more than ten times in a row. At first, Xu Manman responded seriously, but then she became more and more perfunctory.
When Tongzi called out for almost the sixteenth time, Xu Manman couldn't continue to pretend. She looked at her watch and said, "I still have to take elective classes later. It's almost time to leave. You should pack these up first. See you in the space tonight." After finishing her meal, she wiped her mouth and was about to leave, looking very cold and ruthless.
But Tongzi only felt that the host was extremely kind to her today. Not only could she live with the host in the real world, but the host also let her call him by names that only family and friends could call her. What was this? This was all the host's love for her!
Xu Manman packed her schoolbag and rode her bicycle directly to the post office outside the school. She called the Beijing Military Region Guesthouse.
She was lucky today. Xu Lei was resting in the room after a meeting. She didn't wait for a few minutes before she heard her uncle's voice on the other end of the phone.
"Is that you, Manman? What's wrong? Did something happen at school?"
Xu Lei's voice was a little hurried when he answered the phone. There was nothing he could do. He had been in a meeting today and chatted with people around him. He heard that the security not only in colleges but also in the outside world was not very good. How could he not worry about such a delicate niece of his?
"The school is fine, uncle, don't worry. I just wanted to tell you that I got two second-hand bicycles from a friend. You don't have to help us anymore."
"Ah? That bicycle is from a legitimate source. Don't let anyone fool you."
"It's definitely legitimate. They had to move due to work reasons and couldn't take their bike with them. I paid for it and got it back. It still has the stamp on it. It's my cousin's bike. I paid a deposit and will pick it up with him tomorrow at noon."
"Hey kid, do you have enough money? How about your uncle give you some more?"
"No, uncle, this car is second-hand. It's much cheaper than buying a new one. The royalties from my translation are enough for me. No need to ask for extra money. Uncle, I have classes later. I'll call you tomorrow."
"good."
Xu Lei was still in a daze after hanging up the phone. His child had indeed grown up. Yesterday, he said he would buy bicycles for them, and the child went back and did it without saying a word. He smiled, shook his head, picked up his briefcase and went out.
Xu Manman was indeed going to be late for class, so she pedaled hard all the way. Fortunately, her bicycle was quite powerful, and she arrived at the destination in just a few minutes, which usually took her more than ten minutes. She locked the bicycle and put it in the carport. Then Xu Manman walked to the classroom. There were still five minutes before class.
After class in the evening, with the help of a bicycle, she was also the first one to return to the dormitory.
The eldest, Huang Lijuan, pushed open the door and walked in. Seeing Xu Manman sitting on a bench reading a book, she was a little surprised. "Youngest, you didn't attend class today?"
In the past, at this time, because the teaching building where she took classes was quite far away, Xu Manman was always the last one to return to the dormitory.
"I went, but I got a bike this afternoon, so I came back a little faster."
When the three people from the Political Science Department heard Xu Manman talking about bicycles, their reactions were different. The eldest and second oldest were a little envious. The money they had now was definitely enough to buy a bicycle, but the key was that bicycle tickets were hard to get, and a bicycle ticket was not much cheaper than a bicycle.
The fourth child is getting married soon, and the betrothal gift will include not only a bicycle, but also a sewing machine, a watch and a radio. When he heard that Xu Manman had a bicycle, there was nothing to envy.
