Tang Baozhu was surprised that Liu Yue, despite being so cold and uncomfortable, was still thinking of her. It seemed that Liu Yue's character wasn't too bad. Of course, it couldn't be ruled out that she might have been trying to win people's hearts.
She remembered the sentiment, saying, "You should be warming up by now!"
"It's much better, Baozhu, thank you. It's so late now, you should go to sleep! Don't let me make you late for getting up tomorrow."
Seeing that he was indeed alright, Tang Baozhu returned to her own bed, took off her clothes, and crawled into the quilt.
The next morning, Tang Baozhu got up early, intending to see if there was anything interesting to see outside. Since it was the Lantern Festival, she thought it would be lively outside.
All meals were eaten at state-run restaurants outside. Apart from the crowds on the streets, there was nothing exciting to see. However, the supply and marketing cooperative had many things that could be bought without coupons, but only for today.
Tang Baozhu was most short of receipts. Although she had exchanged some, she still felt it wasn't enough. Fortunately, she had a lot of things to buy today that didn't require receipts, especially milk powder. Such a precious item. She felt that the milk powder nowadays was purer, so she stocked up on ten packs.
As for the employees in the supply and marketing cooperative, she pretended not to see the way they looked at her like she was a rich man.
After wandering around outside for a while, I went back to the dorm. Almost everyone had arrived. When I got back, the dorm was a mess, with people unpacking their luggage and making their beds.
The two classmates who had made their beds but weren't there before also arrived. They were dressed quite fashionably, and I was right, they were indeed locals. They must have been at home these past few days.
Tang Baozhu looked at the new classmates and noticed that one of them had brought a child with him.
I had heard before that many people bring their children to school during this period, but I didn't expect to encounter one so soon. Looking at such a small child, about two years old, I wonder if he will be particularly noisy in the future.
The other classmates were dressed differently, some simply and others fashionably. After exchanging a few words, they all seemed quite nice. Of course, since she hadn't gotten to know them well enough to know if that was really their personality, she didn't know, and she didn't plan to get too close to them.
As expected, Tang Baozhu's worries were not in vain when it was time to go to sleep. Just as she was about to fall asleep, the lights were turned off, and instantly, the dormitory was filled with the loud cries of children.
"Oh, that scared me to death! I had just fallen asleep when he suddenly screamed. It almost scared the soul out of me. Li Li, quickly soothe your child."
The speaker was Jin Yumei, one of the locals, and Chen Fang, the other. The two of them were usually quiet and didn't talk much to others, so I thought she was a gentle girl. But she suddenly turned into a volatile girl.
"I'm so sorry, I don't know why the child suddenly cried and disturbed your sleep. I'm so sorry, I'll put him to sleep right away."
Hearing Li Li speak so gently, Jin Yumei's tone softened a bit, less irritable. "Then hurry up and put the child to sleep. School starts tomorrow, what are you going to do with him? You can't just lock him in the dorm, can you? What if he poops or gets hungry and needs water? What are you going to do then?"
If Tang Baozhu hadn't heard Jin Yumei mention it, she would have completely forgotten that when a child is alone in the dormitory, he will poop in the dormitory. She instantly had that image in mind, and felt nauseous.
Fortunately, she managed to hold it in, but others couldn't, and several retching sounds were heard instantly.
Li Li had no choice. Her child was so young, and her mother-in-law wouldn't help take care of him. Her husband had also been admitted to the school next door. Originally, her mother-in-law didn't want her to go to school and wanted her to stay home and take care of the child. But she was unwilling to give up and insisted on coming to school, at the cost of bringing the child with her.
“I have no choice. If I don’t bring the child here, my mother-in-law won’t let me go to school. I’m going to talk to my boyfriend about it and see if we can find someone nearby to look after the child.”
Tang Baozhu actually supported Li Li going to school on her own. After all, there were too many college students who abandoned their wives and children in this era. One of them had a decent job after graduating from school, while the other was still in the countryside. It was an unfair situation.
"Li Li, you can go ask the teacher if there are any schools nearby that would accept such young children. I remember there are some daycare centers. You can try going there. If it's possible, send your child to a daycare center. That way it won't be so troublesome and it won't interfere with your studies."
Jin Yumei continued, "There are daycare centers, but you need a teacher's recommendation letter to get in. Go talk to the teacher tomorrow and see if they're willing to write the recommendation letter for you."
"Thank you everyone for reminding me. I'll ask the teacher tomorrow."
After coaxing the child for about half an hour, Li Li finally got the child to sleep, and now everyone could finally get some rest.
The child woke up and made noise for a while in the middle of the night, but thankfully fell asleep quickly, so it didn't disturb everyone's sleep.
The next day was the start of school, and everyone went to school very early. Before going to school, they ate breakfast. When they arrived at the classroom around 7 o'clock, almost everyone had arrived, and everyone was very serious, reading their books.
In an instant, Tang Baozhu felt a little uncomfortable being mixed in with this group of academic high-achievers, like a mediocre student like herself. Fortunately, she just didn't like studying; in fact, she had a pretty good memory and could remember things after reading them a couple of times.
After the teacher came in and assigned tasks to the class officers, get out of class ended. Tomorrow, classes will officially begin. Looking at the stack of books in her hand, Tang Baozhu, who majors in English, wants to learn some other languages.
The world is ready to fight with languages, whether it's foreign languages or the dialects of one's own country, learn as much as possible.
I originally thought that there should be some military training at the beginning of the semester. Isn't it said that college students who haven't gone through military training are incomplete?
You can see that everyone is so competitive, reading books every day, and even at night they rush to wash up and go to bed after the lights are turned off. Some even read in bed with a small flashlight on.
Tang Baozhu felt that she might only be able to study so hard when she lost her memory and was reincarnated; it was absolutely impossible in this lifetime.
Fortunately, she has a very good memory and can memorize words quickly. She can memorize each word a maximum of ten times and then firmly remember it in her mind.
I thought I was already quite lazy, but I was surprised to find that I still ranked at the top of my class in the final exams. It seems that having a good memory is indeed a good thing.
