By the time Dujuanhua's bed was ready, Bai Junjun's bed was almost done as well.
She pointed at Lin Qin's bed curiously, "Where's she?"
Azalea shook her head, "I haven't seen it either."
That day, there were only two of them sleeping in the dormitory.
The next day, the other three roommates came together.
One of them was called Zhang Hong, who was from the same hometown as Du Juanhua and had similar family conditions. They happened to sleep on the same upper bunk.
The other one is called Zhou Xue, from the north. She said she lived in the south with her mother following the army and was admitted to a teachers' college, making her a second-generation military child.
There was also a girl named Ge Qiuyue, who was almost thirty years old. When she came over, she immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the dormitory.
As everyone looked at her curiously, Ge Qiuyue smiled and introduced herself, "My name is Ge Qiuyue, I'm 29 years old, older than all of you. You can just call me Sister Ge, and this is my man."
The four of them shouted in unison: "Hello, Sister Ge!"
"Hahahaha." Ge Qiuyue laughed heartily and asked very naturally, "Why is there one person missing?"
Bai Junjun immediately shook his head, "I heard that this person came the earliest, and he is elusive. We haven't seen him yet!"
"Are you talking about me?" Lin Qin came in wearing a long Dacron floral dress and small leather shoes, with an exquisite white bag on her shoulder and two large bags of fruit in her hands.
Instantly become the focus of everyone's attention.
"Wow! The girl is so pretty! Just like the star in the magazines!" Ge Qiuyue was the first to react and praised her generously.
Lin Qin was amused, "Hello, hello, I may not be a girl, maybe I'm older than you!"
"That's impossible!" Ge Qiuyue followed Lin Qin to her seat and introduced herself loudly, "My name is Ge Qiuyue, I'm 29 years old, and I must be the oldest in our dormitory."
Lin Qin blinked in surprise, "Really! But I am only two years younger than Sister Ge, so we are about the same age! I am Lin Qin, please give me your guidance."
Everyone in the room stared.
Lin Qin greeted them, "I picked some fruits from home, including mangoes, lychees, guavas, and a big watermelon. It's hot, come and eat them together to cool down."
Ge Qiuyue took a closer look and said, "It looks fresh, it must be delicious!"
Lin Qin smiled and asked, "Do you have a knife or scissors? I want to cut a watermelon."
Zhou Xue immediately took out a sharp knife from her desk shelf, "Is this okay?"
"Thank you!" Lin Qin took it and was shocked after just one look. "This... doesn't seem to be available on the market."
Zhou Xue gave her a thumbs up in appreciation, "You know what you are talking about! My family gave it to me, it's okay."
Lin Qin didn't ask any more questions. She put a bag on the ground, divided the watermelon into eight pieces, and gave one piece to each person.
It is said that you should not hit someone who smiles at you, let alone eat someone's food, so the six people in the dormitory gathered around and introduced themselves to Lin Qin one by one.
Ge Qiuyue asked curiously: "Sister, you look much younger than me. Did you take the exam for several years before you passed?"
Lin Qin shook her head. "No, I got married very early. Later, when my family conditions improved, I thought about studying more. My head teacher thought I was very hardworking and I could take the college entrance examination. I took the exam once last year, but failed. I worked hard for a year and passed this year."
"Awesome!" Ge Qiuyue praised again.
Lin Qin handed her the peeled mango and said, "Try this. I don't know if you have ever eaten it before."
Mango is a tropical fruit. The climate here is subtropical, so it can be grown. In another ten years, it will be abundant. But now it has only been a short time since the land was distributed to each household, and fruit trees have not been planted on a large scale. The fruit is still a rarity, and even the locals may not have eaten it.
Sure enough, Ge Qiuyue, Du Juanhua, Zhang Hong and Zhou Xue all said that they had never eaten it.
Lin Qin quickly peeled a few more for them.
Zhou Xue asked curiously, "Sister Qin, is your family a fruit farmer?"
Lin Qin was happy, "No, no, my family just has more land, so we grow a lot of fruits, and raise a lot of chickens, ducks, geese, etc. We don't make money from this, we can pick as much as we want to eat.
My dad knew I was coming today, so he asked the kids to help pick a bunch of them early in the morning. "
"Children? How many children do you have? I have two, an older girl and a younger son." Ge Qiuyue said.
Lin Qin held up three fingers.
Ge Qiuyue was immediately envious, "I also want to have more children, but unfortunately the government won't allow it. You're still the best! It will be so much fun to have three children!"
Others were also extremely envious.
Lin Qin was so embarrassed that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "What's the big deal? You are still young. College is a good time to learn how to find a partner. These are just campus youth. We have families so we can't join in the fun. Also, by the way, I don't live on campus. At most, I come back to take a nap at noon. I have to go home at night."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, but they could understand it.
Bai Junjun hurriedly asked, "Sister Qin, how can I apply to not live on campus? I want to go home too."
Lin Qin had long noticed that Bai Junjun was different. She looked like she was brought up in pampered circumstances, so her family must be well off. "Are you from Anshi, too?"
Bai Junjun nodded repeatedly, "My home is quite close, near the Experimental Primary School, but my dad doesn't agree with me going to school as a day student. I'm also thinking of working part-time at my cousin's place!"
Ge Qiuyue didn't understand. "Junjun, your family doesn't look like they are short of money. We are students, so studying is more important. If we don't have to, no one would work part-time to make money."
Bai Junjun sighed, "You don't understand. My cousin opened an art training institution outside and recruited many students from our school. She has already achieved financial independence. I am thinking of going to her place to work part-time early to learn more so that I can open an art training institution like her in the future."
Lin Qin paused while peeling the fruit and asked in surprise, "Is your cousin Bai Linlin?"
"Do you know him?" Bai Junjun jumped up excitedly instantly.
Lin Qin laughed, "Anshi is really small! My child is taking classes with Teacher Bai, so we are old acquaintances."
Because of Bai Linlin, Bai Junjun became much closer to Lin Qin and asked Lin Qin many questions about the training institution.
As they were talking, Ge Qiuyue's man had already made her bed, and had also put her daily necessities in order, and her wardrobe was even more neatly organized.
Seeing that it was almost time, the man said hello to everyone and looked at Ge Qiuyue, "I'll go to the guesthouse first, and then I'll bring you something tomorrow morning and then I'll go back."
Ge Qiuyue hurriedly sent her man downstairs.
The dormitory door was closed.
Zhang Hong enviously said, "Sister Ge's partner is so considerate, and they have a really good relationship."
Du Juanhua nodded, "That's right! For someone like Sister Ge, who already has a partner and children, all she needs to do after graduation is to work. How worry-free!" (End of this chapter)
