Chapter 155: Seat Grabbing
There was still some time before the Chinese New Year, and after Hang Jingshu finished picking out things in the department store, he prepared to send away the things that could be mailed first.
In the year from the small mountain village to Fengcheng, Hang Jingshu also made many friends.
There are kind elders like the two elders of the Yan family, peers like Gu Zhengguo and Liu Kangyuan, classmates, and Yu Lihong, Liu Xiaowen, and Sun Shulan who work together in the compound.
Oh, yes, and there is also the science geek Mr. Yan.
Hang Jingshu would rather leave out a group than leave out anyone, and he took care of his family and friends when choosing gifts.
Working for the Yan family was like a spiritual utopia. She didn't have to think about business or performance.
Getting up every day to buy groceries and cook, and reading books and newspapers in the afternoon makes people feel particularly peaceful.
When Yan Cheng'an gave her extra lessons, Sister Hong reminded her to seize the "opportunity".
Hang Jingshu just laughed it off.
Of course, we must seize opportunities, and only by laying a solid foundation in mathematics can we make progress.
As for the rest, Hang Jingshu didn't consider it at all.
It's not that she is arrogant and looks down on others, but there is no need to do so.
If she works normally and studies hard, she will be able to interact with the Yan family as a junior in the future.
If we have to involve Yan Chengan, everything will be distorted.
She is not the heroine of a romance novel.
In reality, do you really think that you can win the heart of a cool guy just by cooking a few meals?
Those are all fairy tales.
She worked as a nanny just to make money. She had a high school education, which was not low, but without a city hukou, everything was in vain.
Want to be a formal employee?
No way!
I could only find some informal jobs in rural enterprises, receiving a fixed salary every month. I was so tired that I didn't even have time to study.
The opportunity at that time was fleeting, so of course we had to seize it.
Sincerity between people comes from getting along with each other, and Hang Jingshu cherishes every friend he has made now.
As the winter vacation approaches, the atmosphere in the school is slightly restless.
Song Yue lived close to home, so he packed his luggage early and piled it in the dormitory. Cui Yanyang also worked hard every day like an ant moving house.
The only person who was there was Hang Jingshu. He had few things when he reported for duty, and even fewer when he was preparing to go home.
Hang Jingshu only packed the books and notes she needed on a daily basis. As for daily necessities, she had almost used them up and there was no need to take them back since they were already at home.
I only brought two sets of clothes, so compared to Cui Yanyang who carried a lot of bags, I was really traveling light.
Given how crowded the trains are now, Hang Jingshu doesn't even want to take anything home.
But I also think it would be a waste if I don't read during the winter vacation.
Wen Cheng's home was further south, and he had already agreed to catch the train with his senior, so Song Yue only had to take two buses to get there.
In dormitory 206, Cui Yanyang is the only one who lives farthest from home.
Wen Cheng was somewhat envious of Hang Jingshu's carefree attitude: "Xiao Hang, are you really going back like this?"
Hang Jingshu packed up the last few things and looked up and answered, "Yes, it won't be long after the Chinese New Year anyway, and there's nothing important left."
This gave Cui Yanyang an idea: "Yeah, I can just leave the unimportant things behind. Why bother moving like it's a move?"
Song Yue had packed up long ago, and seeing Cui Yanyang say this, he agreed: "That's right, let's lock the dormitory door, and make sure everything is in the same state when we come back."
Nowadays, people are simple and honest. Even if there are petty thieves, they will not come to the university.
What is there for college students to steal!
Thinking of this, Cui Yanyang also felt that this was the case. He immediately opened his half-packed luggage and began to pick out things that he did not need to take back.
The next day, things started to get even more stressful than the end of term.
On the university campus, everyone is busy with one thing: no matter how much money you have, if you want to go home, you have to take your ID to buy a ticket.
The students who lived far away from home were the most active. While Hang Jingshu was still reading, Cui Yanyang was already preparing to go home in a hurry with his train ticket in hand.
"Xiaohang, when are you going back?"
Hang Jingshu tightened the cap on his pen and looked at Cui Yanyang who was waiting attentively: "Wait a couple of days, there's no rush."
Cui Yanyang was also very happy that she was able to buy the tickets successfully.
She can't wait to go back and eat home-cooked noodles!
Various kinds of臊子面, trouser belt noodles and homemade oil-splashed noodles!
After careful selection, Cui Yanyang finally took back only two large snakeskin bags. Before leaving, she gave each of the girls in Dormitory 206 a hug.
"I'm leaving now. See you next year!"
After saying that, Cui Yanyang hurried downstairs carrying two large snakeskin bags.
Song Yue rushed to the balcony window and warned Cui Yanyang downstairs: "Sister Yang, be careful on the train, don't be reluctant to buy food!"
Hang Jingshu and Song Yue were also on the balcony. When they heard what Song Yue said, they both covered their faces helplessly.
Cui Yanyang lives up to her name, with a smile as bright as a little sun. She is tall and strong. She smiled and waved goodbye to the three people downstairs.
Hang Jingshu and Song Yue were the last to leave the dormitory.
The dormitory door was locked, and the first half of my freshman year ended.
Only after getting on the train did Hang Jingshu feel eager to return home.
What did trains look like in the 1980s?
Grabbing a seat depends entirely on your instinct. Even if you have a ticket, you still have to give in a little when facing unreasonable uncles and aunts.
College students are the group most subject to moral kidnapping.
When Hang Jingshu squeezed into the car with his canvas bag, he heard a loud commotion in the next carriage.
The whole carriage was filled with people watching the excitement. Hang Jingshu vaguely heard words like "college students..." and "no compassion at all".
It seems that the status of a college student is not valued everywhere.
Hang Jingshu originally didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but she found the tall man in the crowd familiar.
The carriage was extremely crowded, with many people returning home to visit relatives for the New Year.
Therefore, the compartments between carriages were particularly busy. In an era when liquids could be brought on board airplanes, it was not just people who rode on public transportation.
Seeing that the person looked familiar, Hang Jingshu hid at the door and watched the excitement.
The surroundings were crowded with people who had rushed over upon hearing the news, heads next to each other. Fortunately, Hang Jingshu was not short, and among the swaying figures, he saw a familiar face.
It’s really Xiao Ran.
She said that it’s hard to find someone taller than 1.85 meters these days.
The man on the other end was still insisting, "My mother is not in good health. You are tall and strong, what's wrong with letting her sit for a while? You are a grown man!"
Xiao Ran has a cold temper. When faced with such a situation, he would not argue with others. He would just say in a stern tone: "Are you sure you only want to sit for a while?"
Now Hang Jingshu understood.
It is estimated that the other party is a mother and son, or a couple with their elderly mother.
Seeing that Xiao Ran was alone, he wanted to take his place directly.
I thought the young man would be too embarrassed to say anything, but I didn't expect Xiao Ran to not give them any face at all.
He just pushed it there coldly, with a fierce look as if he was going to hit someone.
