The four of them walked towards the cafeteria while chatting. Jiang Qingzhou said with a smile: "I'll treat you to dinner in the cafeteria today. Zishan and I were able to get into university thanks to your help. Zishan and I will remember your kindness for the rest of our lives."
Chu Jingqiu and Zhang Pingping didn't make any noise with them and just found a table and sat down.
The food in the Peking University cafeteria is quite cheap. A serving of ordinary stir-fried dishes costs 10 cents or 15 cents, and the cheapest is only 5 cents. Those that cost 20 cents or more are high-end "stir-fried dishes". Generally, ten yuan a month is enough for a student!
Four people ordered the most expensive dish, slippery tenderloin, which cost 82 cents, a dish of stir-fried liver, which cost 69 cents, and two dishes, which cost 72 cents.
There was also a plate of braised pork ribs with minced meat and cabbage noodles, and a few bowls of free egg drop soup. Jiang Qingzhou also bought some draft beer, and the four of them ate and chatted.
Zhang Pingping joked, "Old Jiang, you must have spent a lot of food coupons on this meal! I heard that the monthly ration for men is 38 kilograms. Don't let it go hungry."
Jiang Qingzhou said with a smile: "Oh, don't worry about it! How can a living person be suffocated to death by urine? I have already found out that if there is not enough food, you can buy more! Some students will transfer their food coupons for a fee if they can't use them all.
There are many vendors on our campus who are asking to exchange eggs and daily necessities for food coupons. Besides, I don't have a big appetite, so I can't finish 38 kilograms. If Zhou Weidong were here, this amount of food would not be enough for him.
I discovered that the food supply management in Beijing was quite meticulous. The 38 jin of food coupons were divided into very detailed categories. 14 jin of coarse grains could be used to buy mung beans, sorghum rice, corn porridge, and millet porridge.
16 jin of fine grains can be used to buy steamed buns, noodles, steamed buns and other pasta; and 8 jin of rice coupons are specifically for buying cooked rice!
After saying that, he glanced at Zhang Pingping and Chu Jingqiu and said, "Unfortunately, there is one thing that is not so good. The scholarship is not very high. I only get 17 yuan a month.
The state stipulates that those with five years of service can study with pay. Our time spent in the queues doesn't count as service. You two have five years of service, and your salaries are over 30,000. This is considered student royalty in our school."
After dinner, the four of them took a walk by the school lake and then went back to rest.
After Chu Jingqiu returned to the dormitory, he found that the other two beds had also been made up. It turned out that these two roommates were an aunt and nephew.
Aunt Tong Xiulan is 30 years old and niece Tong Haiyan is only 16 years old. Both are from Sichuan Province.
Just as everyone was preparing for lunch break, Hua Lina and her parents came in. Hua Lina's mother was not tall, with a pair of chubby watery eyes that rolled around.
As he walked, he whispered, "Fenfen! The food in your school cafeteria is so delicious that I almost swallowed my tongue. You can't just enjoy yourself and ignore the lives of me, your father, and your brother.
You should be frugal with the money you give out, and send some home when the time comes so that we can enjoy the good life with you."
Hua Lina glanced at everyone and said awkwardly, "Mom, I've told you so many times, I'm already this old, please stop calling me by my nickname. Everyone will laugh at me if they hear it."
Mother Hua glanced at everyone and nodded hurriedly, "Isn't this just a habit? It's hard to change it for a while. Remember what I said?"
Hua Lina said impatiently: "Remember, I'm tired of hearing you say that. Don't worry! I will definitely not ignore my family..."
The family didn't care at all that everyone needed a quiet environment for lunch, and were still discussing family matters in a low voice.
At this moment, a girl dressed in dirty clothes stumbled in. As soon as she entered the room, she yelled at Hua Lina, "Hua Lifen, you shameless woman, you actually stole my admission notice and came to register. You are so brave!"
Her roar made Chu Jingqiu curiously pull open the bed curtains. The angry girl in front of him was dirty all over, but she looked very pretty and her eyes were clear.
A flash of panic crossed Hua Mu's face, but she quickly calmed down. She said to the girl, "Lifen, why did you run all the way to Beijing like a madman? Didn't you ask your grandma to keep an eye on you?
This is a university, how can a mentally ill lunatic like you come here to cause trouble? Come on, hurry up and go home with your aunt."
After saying that, she winked at her man, and the man walked forward. The two of them wanted to drag the girl out directly.
The girl bit the man's arm hard, and Hua Mu took the opportunity to shout, "Lifen, you're crazy again, biting people again, right?
Classmates, please help me get this kid out of here quickly. If she gets mad, she might kill people. You better be careful."
The girls in the dormitory didn't know who was telling the truth and were trembling with fear. Only Chu Jingqiu calmly observed the family's behavior.
When the girl heard what Hua's mother said, her face immediately turned pale. She spat hard and said, "Bah, who is crazy? You are a family of lazy parasites who suck our blood.
You actually want your vicious daughter who hasn't even graduated from junior high school to go to college in my place. How shameless!
I came to expose you, and you actually accused me of being crazy. Classmates, please help me report it to the police! Someone stole my admission letter and pretended to be me to go to college.
Hua Li Na's eyes flashed, and she walked up to the angry girl and said gently, "Lifen, I know you were furious when I found out you didn't get into university. If you don't pass, you can still take the exam next year.
It's not okay for you to be jealous of me! I promise I'll help you study hard this year and get you into a good school next year.
We can talk it out if there's anything. You'll be laughed at if you barge into the school and make a scene like this."
The girl became even angrier when she heard this. She pushed Hua Lina away and shouted, "Hua Lifen, I emphasize again, I am Hua Lina, and you are Hua Lifen.
You don't have to pretend here! I will expose your hypocritical and vicious true face in front of everyone today. You stole my admission letter and pretended to be a good person. It's disgusting!"
Hua's father said angrily, "Lifen, can you please stop messing around? If you keep messing around like this, I'll have your grandparents beat you up when we get home."
The girl snorted coldly, "Hua Jianshe, do you think that if you drugged me and locked me up, I won't be able to come to school?
I tell you, going to college has been my dream for many years. Don't threaten me. Even if the king of heaven comes, I am not afraid.
Since I can come here today, I have already made the preparations to burn my boats and cross the river. I don’t want you, a bunch of top-notch relatives! "
