Bai Jingjing's face showed even more dissatisfaction. Why couldn't she stay here longer?
But this problem was not something Bai Hao could solve. She angrily walked out of the university gate, walked a distance, turned around, and watched Bai Hao return to the school.
She watched Bai Hao disappear from her sight expressionlessly.
When she left the capital, she was still young and had not even finished junior high school. Although she tried hard to study with Bai Hao after learning about the college entrance examination, she still failed.
Originally, her family members did not agree with her coming to Beijing with Bai Hao. It was only after she said that she would find a way to get the Bai family's house back that Grandma Bai and her mother agreed to let her come along.
She didn't want to go back. If she did, her mother would definitely marry her somewhere local. She had to find a way to stay in the capital.
Bai Jingjing gritted her teeth and went to the small house she rented.
When she first came to Beijing, Bai Jingjing stayed in a guesthouse for a day.
But Bai Hao had said in advance that the money they had, minus Bai Hao's living expenses and Bai Jingjing's travel expenses, would only be enough for Bai Jingjing to stay in the guesthouse for ten days at most.
In order to stay in Beijing for a longer period of time, Bai Jingjing shared a room with someone else.
This house is not far from Bai Hao's school, only takes twenty minutes to walk, but this house is at the outermost part of the slum, and is divided into two small rooms.
There was no window in the room, and there was only a bed and a stool.
Because Bai Jingjing only rented the house for a month, she was not allowed to walk around in the yard. Even for washing, she was asked to fetch water and bring it into the house.
If it weren't for the Bai family's house, Bai Jingjing wouldn't be able to survive a single day like this.
After Bai Hao came here once, he advised Bai Jingjing to go back as soon as possible.
It is really unsafe for her, a girl, to live in such a house.
But Bai Jingjing refused. How could she bear to leave without getting the Bai family's house?
"Jingjing, are you back? Have you eaten yet? Do you want to have something to eat?"
The door next to the room that Bai Jingjing rented suddenly opened, and a gray-haired woman looked at Bai Jingjing and said.
"I've already eaten. Thank you, Grandma Zhang." Bai Jingjing was quite nice to her, but that was all she said before she went into the house.
There is no way to rent a house in this slum. In fact, Bai Jingjing looks down on the people living in this house.
Most of the people living in this slum do not have their own houses and are assigned to live here.
Mrs. Zhang, who was talking to Bai Jingjing just now, was a widow at a young age, raising two daughters and a son.
The two daughters look like Mrs. Zhang, with pretty faces and are already married. However, Zhang Laosan looks like he has not developed well. He is only 1.6 meters tall and weighs 80 kilograms. He is already 28 years old, but still as thin as a bamboo pole.
If it wasn't for the corn cake that Mrs. Zhang gave Bai Jingjing on the first day she moved here, Bai Jingjing would never have spoken to Mrs. Zhang.
When Mrs. Zhang saw Bai Jingjing enter the room, she quickly closed the door.
Bai Jingjing lay on the bed, thinking hard about what she should do to get the Bai family's house back.
She kept thinking about falling asleep but couldn't come up with a solution.
The next day, Bai Jingjing got up early and went to Zhang Meiling's house again, but she only saw Professor Jiang's back as he left, and did not see Zhang Meiling.
She was so angry that she stamped her feet on the spot. Finally, with a gloomy face, she actually thought of a solution. She had inquired before coming and found out that Professor Jiang was a teacher at Jingcheng University.
Since she couldn't find Zhang Meiling, Bai Jingjing decided to go find Professor Jiang.
She just couldn't believe that Professor Jiang, as a university teacher, could still ignore his reputation.
But she didn't know what major Professor Jiang was in. She walked around the school for a long time but didn't see Professor Jiang. Her face turned pale. She didn't have breakfast this morning. Her stomach was growling with hunger, and she couldn't help but squat down.
"Classmate, what's wrong with you?" A man wearing glasses stood in front of Bai Jingjing and asked her worriedly.
Bai Jingjing raised her head and said weakly, "I didn't have breakfast, and I feel a little uncomfortable."
"I just bought a steamed bun. How about I give you half?" The man hesitated. Bai Jingjing immediately stood up, grabbed the steamed bun in the man's hand and bit into it.
Although they are not white flour steamed buns, the steamed buns made with Erhe flour are also good.
She finished the steamed bun in a few bites, then looked at the lunch box in the man's hand, which contained another steamed bun.
"I'm not full. Can I have this steamed bun, too?" Bai Jingjing took the steamed bun and ate it without waiting for the man to speak.
The man tried to stop her but failed, and said angrily, "Why did you eat both buns?"
He just saw Bai Jingjing squatting here and thought she was not feeling well, so he asked her out of kindness. He didn't expect that this woman would eat up his breakfast.
Bai Jingjing ate two steamed buns and felt refreshed. She licked the corner of her mouth and looked at the lunch box again. Unfortunately, there was nothing in the lunch box except two or three pickles.
The man quickly closed the lid of the lunch box. He really couldn't imagine that Bai Jingjing could be so shameless.
"Do you know Professor Jiang?"
Bai Jingjing thought that this man was kind and would definitely be able to help her.
The man was about to leave, but when he heard that Bai Jingjing knew Professor Jiang, he stopped and asked Bai Jingjing hesitantly, "What do you want from Professor Jiang?"
Bai Jingjing just asked casually, but she didn't expect that the man really knew Professor Jiang.
"I'm Professor Jiang's relative. Please take me to find him." Bai Jingjing stepped forward and grabbed the man's sleeve.
The man's face turned red, and he immediately took a step back: "I'll take you to find Professor Jiang, don't pull me."
After saying that, he hurried to the front and didn't notice that Bai Jingjing rolled her eyes.
He was just a poor student, and she looked down on him. She looked reluctant after eating just two of his steamed buns made of two kinds of flour.
The man walked a few steps ahead and looked back at Bai Jingjing. Only when he saw that she had caught up with him did he continue walking forward.
The man’s name is Guo Zhiping. He is in the same class as Qi Mengmeng and is also a student of Professor Jiang.
Professor Jiang did not have a class in the first period today. He was preparing for the lesson in his office. He was a little surprised to see Guo Zhiping coming to see him.
"Mr. Guo, do you have something to talk to me about?"
"Teacher Jiang, this is your relative. I met her at school. She said she wanted to see you for something."
Guo Zhiping looked at Bai Jingjing at the door and wanted to say that Bai Jingjing had eaten his breakfast, but when he saw other teachers in the room, he didn't say it.
Professor Jiang looked at Bai Jingjing, the expression on his face disappeared, and he said to Guo Zhiping: "This is not my relative, I just know him."
Guo Zhiping was a little stunned. He didn't expect Professor Jiang to speak so bluntly.
Professor Jiang was still dissatisfied. If it weren't for Bai Jingjing, why would Zhang Meiling hide away every day and not be able to stay at home?
