After Qian Duoduo and Guo Ni had dinner with Qian Mao and the others, the three men didn't have another chance to go to the girls' dormitory. Qian Mao looked at Qian Duoduo and Guo Ni standing at the door of the girls' dormitory and said, "Duoduo, sister-in-law, we'll be leaving now. Qian Xiang and Qian Rao will be going back to the village tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Guo Ni looked at Qian Xiang. Since their marriage, they had never been apart for so long, and she felt a pang of sadness.
Qian Duoduo didn't feel that way. Back then, when her fourth brother and Jin Jinxiu visited her eldest and second brothers, it was for a long time. Her third brother even stayed in the county often. She was used to it. If they were really by her side, Qian Duoduo might find them annoying, always controlling her!
Qian Duoduo and Guo Ni stood at the door watching Qian Mao and the others leave. Hmm, they left chatting and laughing. What happened to their promise of being reluctant to part? Where did that go? Were they just joking?
Qian Duoduo said to Guo Ni, "Sister-in-law, let's go upstairs."
Guo Ni nodded and said, "I really didn't expect that I, a horticulture major, would end up in the same dormitory as you agronomy majors."
Qian Duoduo said with a smile, "We are the first batch after the resumption of the college entrance examination. I guess there are fewer girls. Didn't you see that only the second and third floors of our girls' dormitory are occupied now? The boys' dormitory next door is already full on the fourth floor."
Guo Ni asked curiously, "We've been together all the time, how do you know so much?"
Qian Duoduo said with a grin, "We ate in the cafeteria today, right? That's what the students there were saying."
After a three-second silence, Guo Ni said, "What kind of ears do you have? The cafeteria is noisy, how can you have so much information? I'm impressed!"
Qian Duoduo led Guo Ni into the dormitory and saw that the atmosphere inside was somewhat tense. There were two handbags on Guo Ni's bed, and her sheets were stained.
Guo Ni's expression wasn't good. She walked to her bed and asked, "Whose things are these?"
A young woman walked in from outside. Hearing Guo Ni's question, she said, "Those are my things. I'm afraid of the cold, so I want to stay in this bed. You can pack your things and go to another bed."
Guo Ni said, "Are you the leader's child?"
Jiang Sisi asked, puzzled, "What leader's child?"
Guo Ni nodded and said, "I'm so sorry, I'm also afraid of the cold, so I don't want to change seats!"
Jiang Sisi's expression turned somewhat unpleasant. When she first arrived at the dormitory, she saw that both lower bunks by the window were occupied. Moreover, besides the person in the first bunk not being there, the person in the other bunk had a cold face and looked like someone not to be trifled with. She could only ask the person in the other bunk to switch bunks, but that person was also stubborn.
She said, "I'll give you ten dollars, you can take it."
Guo Ni shook her head and said, "I like it here, I don't want to move."
Jiang Sisi said, "Twenty."
Guo Ni noticed some broken wooden planks nearby, probably taken from the upper bunks. She walked over, picked up a plank, weighed it in her hand, and then broke it in half with her bare hands. Seeing the surprised looks on the others' faces, she said to Jiang Sisi, "Do you still want to exchange it?"
Jiang Sisi was utterly astonished when she saw Guo Ni's actions. Good heavens, is this person a martial arts master? She thought of the books by Mr. Cha that her great-uncle brought back from Hong Kong. She had always longed to see those martial arts masters leaping across rooftops and scaling walls. Now she had met one in person.
She raised her hand to push up her chin, and carefully walked to Guo Ni's side, saying, "Um, I don't want to change it anymore, okay?"
Qian Duoduo was also taken aback by the girl's sudden gentleness. Where did your arrogance go? Where did your "I can crush you with money" attitude go? How come you were scared off by just breaking a wooden board?
Tian Rong hadn't expected Guo Ni to suddenly display the demeanor of a martial arts master, and she thought to herself that she mustn't offend her in the future.
Only the short-haired girl opposite Guo Ni's bed had bright eyes. Goodness, this girl is a master! Even someone from her military family might not be able to break it so easily. There really are masters among ordinary people. If she hadn't been angry with her family and just randomly wrote down a university name for the college entrance exam, and even got in, she would never have met such a master.
Thinking of this, she got out of bed, walked up to Guo Ni, extended her right hand, and said, "Hello, my name is Lu Fen. I'm from Beijing, but I'm working in the countryside in the oil city."
Upon hearing this, Tian Rong immediately asked, "Lu Fen? That name sounds familiar; I feel like I've heard it somewhere before!"
Lu Fen looked at Tian Rong without saying anything. The oil city wasn't very big, but it wasn't small either, and there were many oilfields scattered in many places, so they might not even see each other!
Tian Rong thought for a moment and said, "Don't you have an older sister named Lu Qing?"
Lu Fen nodded this time.
Tian Rong smiled and said, "See, I knew I'd heard your name before. Your sister Lu Qing and I both work at the First Oil Production Plant. Your brother-in-law is a bicycle frame operator at the plant. I even helped organize their wedding."
Lu Fen nodded: "I don't visit my sister very often, so I probably haven't heard her mention you."
Tian Rong said with a smile, "Before I went to university, I was the women's director of a factory. My surname is Tian and my given name is Tian Rong."
Lu Fen wasn't particularly interested in Tian Rong's name; she was much more interested in Guo Ni. She smiled at Tian Rong, then turned to Guo Ni and said, "Guo Ni, you know kung fu, right? How about we spar sometime?"
When Jiang Sisi heard Lu Fen's words, her eyes lit up. She knew that this short-haired Lu Fen was definitely not someone to be trifled with. She quietly moved her things to a deserted corner, hoping that these two martial arts masters would not harm the innocent!
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Qian Duoduo was happy to be free. He took out the screwdriver he had borrowed from the dormitory supervisor when he came up, and took out the lock and latch that Qian Mao had bought for him. He started to screw in the screws, but the cabinets in this era were made of solid wood. Qian Duoduo tried for a long time but couldn't screw in a single screw.
Guo Ni was getting anxious watching this. She went over, took the screwdriver with one hand, and pushed Qian Duoduo aside with the other. Then she started screwing in the screwdriver, and saw that the screw that had just been struggling with Qian Duoduo had obediently gone into the wooden board. Qian Duoduo angrily said, "Sister-in-law, they're bullying me!"
Guo Ni smiled indulgently at Qian Duoduo: "It's okay, if they bullied you, your sister-in-law will help you get revenge!"
Such domineering words made Jiang Sisi and Lu Fen's eyes light up. Such domineering aura, they really wished this person was their sister-in-law!
Qian Duoduo inadvertently noticed the look in Jiang Sisi and Lu Fen's eyes and suddenly felt a sense of crisis. Could it be that she not only had to help Qian Xiang guard against men, but also help him guard against women?
No way, she's my sister-in-law, no one can take her from me!
