When Su Jinyan and his four new roommates returned to the dormitory, Lu Tingting, whom Wang Shuhui had just mentioned, was sitting at the table eating a multi-grain steamed bun with sauerkraut.
As soon as she entered the door, Wang Shuhui smelled the smell of pickled cabbage and said with a smile: "Lv Tingting, you are eating that pickled cabbage again, it's so sour!"
Lu Tingting smiled but said nothing, not at all shy. She lowered her head and continued to eat her steamed bread and sauerkraut.
The steamed bread in the cafeteria was two cents each, and she bought ten at one time, enough to last her two days.
Is the sauerkraut too sour?
Lu Tingting pursed her lips. Wouldn't it be even harder to swallow if she was eating dry steamed bread without even any pickled vegetables?
I have seen so many faces over the years, and Wang Shuhui's words, whether malicious or not, are considered nice to hear.
"Bai Xiaoyan, Guo Lanning, here are the meals for you two. Come and eat them quickly. They are getting cold."
Wang Shuhui looked at Lu Tingting and saw that she didn't answer or care, so she put the rice bowl on the table and said.
There is a table and four stools by the window for everyone to study.
As for how the eight people are divided into four positions, the school does not care.
Su Jinyan also couldn't quite understand Wang Shuhui. Some people said that she was heartless and careless, but that was not entirely true. Some people said that she felt sorry for Lu Tingting, and she looked down on her.
I just don’t know whether he looks down on my status or looks down on the poor food.
Looking at Lu Tingting's meal, she thought about the big bag of food she brought today, then she opened her cupboard, took out the bag of pastries from her cloth bag, and took out three eggs.
"I brought some egg cakes for everyone, one for each person."
"For the three of you who didn't eat in the cafeteria, give each of you an egg. I'm afraid it will go bad if it's left in the dormitory until tomorrow due to the heat."
Put the eggs in the middle of the table, "Student Bai, Student Guo, Student Lu, soak them in hot water before eating."
Bai Xiaoyan quickly refused: "No, you can save it for dinner. It won't go bad if you keep it for two or three days."
Lu Tingting also raised her head from her steamed bread and smiled like a quiet lady, "Student Su, you can keep some for yourself. I'm full."
Guo Lanning nodded and opened his rice bowl. "A full bowl of rice, plus an egg. If you can't finish it, keep it for later."
At this time, Wang Shuhui interrupted and said with a smile: "You won't eat the eggs? If you can't eat them, give them to me. The Chinese cabbage I had for lunch has no taste in my mouth."
Guo Lanning didn't expect Wang Shuhui to say this, and for a moment, his smile became a little stiff.
In this day and age, eggs are a scarce commodity, who wouldn’t want them?
Besides, she doesn't want to eat it because she doesn't want to do you a favor for nothing. How dare you be so bold as to ask for it right away?
However, Wang Shuhui said this with a smile. Not giving it to her would be a slap in the face. Guo Lanning paused for a moment, then smiled and nodded, "Then you eat it." After saying that, he looked at Su Jinyan's sincere smile and said, "Thank you, Su Jinyan."
Su Jinyan smiled and shook his head. He didn't expect Wang Shuhui to be like this.
Since such a grown-up has opened his mouth, I must give it to him.
Be more careful next time and don't let others take advantage of you.
There was no change on her face as she smiled and gave each of them a piece of the soft egg cake.
None of them refused, said thank you, and started eating.
Most people think that they can just return the favor later.
"If any of you want more eggs, tell me. I still have seven or eight."
Everyone shook their heads and said they were full.
Wang Shuhui obviously loves eggs. She peeled off the eggshell and ate it in two or three bites. "Hmm, I really miss the taste of eggs."
"You don't know, my mother-in-law is very stingy! At home, only men and boys can eat eggs. Women can't even smell the smell of eggs!"
Guo Lanning ate a piece of potato and smiled faintly, "Doesn't your husband earn thirty or forty a month? How could he be short of an egg from you? Besides, doesn't your husband give you living expenses? A boiled egg in the cafeteria is six cents, buy it!"
Wang Shuhui is from another place and arrived three days earlier. In the past few days, she has been praising her husband for earning a lot of money and scolding her mother-in-law for being stingy. Her sisters-in-law and elder sisters-in-law have been making things difficult for her and finding fault with her in all kinds of ways. If she hadn't given birth to a boy this time, she might not have been allowed to go to school.
Wang Shuhui threw the egg shells into the trash can at the door and walked to the bed, saying with a frown: "What's the use of earning a lot? Whatever money I earn, I give it to her every month. My whole family didn't agree with me leaving for school because they were afraid I would run away. In the end, I had to persuade the old woman to give all the money I earned to her after graduation, and she let me go to school."
"I am given ten dollars a month, but I don't even get a ticket. What can I do?"
When Wang Shuhui talked about her troubles, she sat down on the bed and lay on the quilt in annoyance.
Besides, she boasted a few days ago that her husband earned thirty-four, but that was just bragging. Her husband made twenty-one a month, and he gave her ten. The remaining eleven had to support more than ten people in the family!
No one responded. Guo Lanning and the others thought, this is not a reason for you to ask others for food.
Since he had nothing to do, Su Jinyan took out a collection of poems from the cabinet and climbed onto the bed.
"By the way, is the library open now? Can we go borrow books now?"
Bai Xiaoyan swallowed the food in her mouth and said, "I heard from a senior that I can just apply for a library card. A library card costs 1.5 yuan per semester, but a deposit of 10 yuan is required. I can renew the library card next semester."
At one dollar and fifty cents, it's really cheap.
"Is there anyone going to the library this afternoon?"
It was too boring to stay in the dormitory, so she avoided gossiping and saying things that shouldn't be said. Besides, she also wanted to see what books were available in libraries of this era.
Lu Tingting: "I'll go with you this afternoon. I want to change a book."
