Lin Yi's body felt a little tired, but Qiu Sanmei was full of energy and didn't show any signs of fatigue from the journey at all.
It was not until they took two buses and arrived home that Qiu Sanmei felt a little tired. The couple tidied the house, ate dumplings bought from a nearby restaurant, boiled some hot water and took a bath before going to bed.
"Should we go see her grandfather tomorrow?" Qiu Sanmei asked in the dark. An ugly daughter-in-law has to meet her parents-in-law.
Lin Yi yawned. "Don't worry about this. Tomorrow you can see if there's anything missing at home and I'll go buy it. I have to register for school the day after tomorrow. Once we're settled, it won't be too late to go over the weekend."
Qiu Sanmei hesitated for a moment: "Is that appropriate?"
Lin Yi: "It's okay, and the old man may not be free. He's busy with work and often not at home. I'll give him a call tomorrow to let him know."
"Oh, all right then." Qiu Sanmei pulled the thin quilt over her daughter who was sleeping in the middle, and she soon fell asleep too.
?
After Lin Yi completed the registration procedures for his sophomore year, he returned to the dormitory to unload his luggage. He had already agreed with his homeroom teacher that he would not live in the school dormitory starting from his sophomore year.
The other five students in the dormitory were also there. When they saw Lin Yi rolled up the quilt, they thought he was going to take it outside to dry in the sun. But he tied up the quilt and started to clean up the clothes in the closet and the washbasin, lunch box and other things under the bed.
This is obviously a move! But?
Li Lijun clapped his hands and said happily, "Old Jiang, what happened? Did you get expelled from school?"
Wu Xiaojiang came forward even more frivolously and said, "Can't you tell us guys in advance if you dropped out? Old Jiang, it's obvious that you were expelled."
Li Lijun was even more infuriating. He pushed Wu Xiaojiang aside and said to Lin Yi, "What are you supporting? Did you cheat on the test or get caught having an affair?"
The three of them didn't need Lin Yi to answer. They looked at each other and started making faces and laughing.
Lin Yi doesn't want to bother with these idiots. Not only do they not help, but they also gloat over other people's misfortunes. If anything really happens, he can't count on these guys.
He packed his luggage by himself, which was exactly two pieces: a roll of bedding and a large travel bag. He left nothing behind, not even a hair for his roommate.
——They don’t deserve it!
He carried the bedding out of the dormitory first, preparing to come back to get the travel bag later.
Wu Xiaojiang saw this and chased after him. The other roommates also rushed over. They grabbed Lin Yi's luggage and asked anxiously, "What's going on? Are you really leaving?"
Lin Yi pulled but couldn't budge, so he stopped and said to them with a heavy face, "Guys, something happened at home this summer. Someone died (a daughter was born). I can't go to school today (I'll go tomorrow). Sigh."
After saying that, he took advantage of the moment when those people were stunned, grabbed the luggage, turned around and went downstairs "sadly".
After he tied the quilt to the back of the bicycle and returned to the dormitory, the brothers were no longer smiling. Lian Liang, who was sitting near the door, closed the door, and the brothers began to ask him about his well-being.
Sun Qiang, who was born in the year of the Pixiu, reached out from the cabinet and pulled out a cloth bag. He counted out five yuan from a pile of change and said, "I owe you ten yuan from last semester. I have more than thirty yuan in total. I'll keep five yuan and give you the rest. See if you can help me."
The other few people also started to search their pockets. They had just returned from home at the beginning of the semester and brought some money with them. The five of them managed to scrape together 180 yuan to give him.
Lin Yi couldn't help but glance sideways. Jiang Bie Ming's popularity in the dormitory was quite good. He had just wanted to make a joke, but if he told everyone the truth now, would he be beaten up?
But even if he gets away with it now, everyone will probably hit him harder when they see him in class tomorrow.
He clasped his hands together and smiled apologetically: "Brothers, I'm just kidding. I brought my wife and daughter here for the summer vacation. Now that I have a family, I don't want to hang around here with you guys anymore."
This stirred up a hornet's nest, and Li Lijun was the first to protest: "Wife and daughter? Old Jiang, are you hysterical?"
Jiang Bie Ming had never said before that he was divorced, and he always presented himself as single. In addition, he was good-looking and looked gentle, which attracted many female classmates in the school to show their affection to him. The bachelors in the boys' dormitory were envious of him.
So now you say you not only have a wife, but also a child?
Wu Xiaojiang was also a little bit unbelievable: "Really?"
Lin Yi could only take the blame for the original owner. He tried to explain dryly: "My family situation is a bit complicated. Just listen to my excuse..."
Sun Qiang grabbed the 180 yuan he had just raised and winked at his roommates: "Beat him up."
Lin Yi immediately squatted down with his head in his hands, and pleaded loudly: "Don't hit my face, don't hit my face."
......
In the end, Lin Yi was beaten up and his whole body was in pain, but his face was intact. He was also forced to promise a big meal and invite his roommates to go home for a meal of meat on Sunday before he was let go.
It was a touching scene of deep brotherly love, but when he left the house, there was no one to see him off. As soon as he stepped out of the door, the door of the dormitory was slammed shut.
......
Lin Yi had previously called his father's office to inform him that he had returned to Jiangzhou with his wife and daughter, and that the three of them would go visit his father together during the holidays. Jiang's father snorted coldly, indicating that he understood, and hung up the phone. He was still angry.
As a result, because of the group of people in the dormitory taking advantage of the situation, I didn't go to Xiaobailou on Sunday. Not only did I break the appointment, I also forgot to say hello to Jiang's father.
Poor father Jiang had people prepare a lot of food ingredients and even asked someone to help prepare gifts for his daughter-in-law and granddaughter, but none of them were used. He waited alone from sunrise to sunset, but all he waited in vain.
The old father didn't eat lunch or dinner. He was very angry. The whole day went from anticipation to anger, and from anger to worry. In the end, there was no anger left in his heart.
When he had a bad guess, he immediately rode his bike out and rushed to the Jiang family yard at lightning speed.
?
Lin Yi's roommates came to visit Jiang Qiuying, bringing gifts such as muslin cloth and malted milk that they had raised money to buy for her. They had a big meal at Jiang's house, which was prepared by Lin Yi himself. The meal was large in quantity and had lots of meat.
The resentful roommates expressed their satisfaction and asked to use this courtyard as their base in the future before leaving, with Jiang Bieming as their personal chef.
After seeing off this group of foodies, Lin Yi turned around and saw Jiang's father standing on the side of the road pushing a bicycle. He was emitting a low mood and had a sullen face.
Lin Yi's heart tightened: Oh no!
