The next morning, the girls in dormitory 301 woke up early. After getting up, they looked at each other's dark circles and couldn't help laughing.
"It turns out that everyone didn't sleep well. I thought I was the only one who was too excited to sleep." Wei Ye spoke first.
Ge Mei nodded, "Me too, I never thought that one day I would be able to go to school in Jing City."
When she was studying, her biggest wish was to pass the factory recruitment smoothly, work hard and take good care of her family.
"To be honest, these days have been a bit like a dream for me. Even though I'm already sleeping in the dormitory of Peking University, I'm still a little scared. I'm afraid that the dream will be over as soon as I wake up." Zhou Yanan, who has always been somewhat introverted, rarely expresses her emotions.
Li Yuying couldn't help but nod. "Who says not? I'm ready to settle down in the countryside for the rest of my life. Who knows if I'll ever return to the city?"
The three of them each have their own experiences, and they all know that everything today is not easy.
Jianshu and the other two listened silently. They had not experienced it and could not empathize with it, but they could be good listeners.
The sad atmosphere didn't last long. Li Yuying, the eldest sister in the dormitory, was the first to come to her senses. "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Girls, today is our first day of school. How can we not be happy? Come on, everyone smile!"
After she finished speaking, she started laughing without any image, showing her big teeth.
Everyone was amused by her, and the sad atmosphere was swept away.
Listening to the noise outside gradually getting louder, Jian Shu looked at the time and said, "Hurry up, it's getting late, let's go wash up quickly, otherwise all the seats will be taken by others!"
Anyone who has lived on campus knows that you have to fight for the bathroom in the morning. If you go too late, you have to wait. Unless your dormitory has a bathroom, but there isn't one, right?
When everyone heard this, they hurriedly quickened their pace and a group of people picked up their toothbrushes and washbasins and ran out.
Wei Ye ran two steps, then suddenly remembered something and went back.
"Ye Zi, what are you doing? Hurry up, hurry up!" Zhao Yueling, who was behind, was the first to notice her movement and shouted.
"immediately!"
Zhao Yueling paused, then stomped her feet and ran away.
Forget it, she should hurry up and grab a seat so that when she arrives, she can give it to her, otherwise there will be no seat for both of them.
When we got to the sink, there were already quite a few people there. The guys from dorm 301 had arrived just in time, and with their concerted efforts, they had grabbed a spot right at the edge.
While washing up, he looked outside and saw Zhao Yueling coming. He waved quickly, "Lingling, come here quickly." Then he glanced behind her and said, "Where's Ye Ziren? Why hasn't he come yet?"
"She was halfway through running when she suddenly remembered something and ran back."
Li Yuying nodded, "Okay, then let's give it to her first."
While we were talking, many more people arrived.
Those who live in the same dormitory have to wash together, and those who don’t know anyone can only wait for a while.
A group of people gathered together to brush their teeth, rubbing against each other from time to time. They looked like a group of lively and bright little girls.
At this time, Wei Ye finally arrived, "I'm here!"
Everyone turned around and saw the thermos in her hand, and finally understood where she had been.
"Come, put the basins aside, I'll pour you some water!" Wei Ye called out, opened the bottle cap and poured water.
Jian Shu didn't bother to be polite with her. He held up the basin and thanked her: "Thank you, Ye Zi. I'll help you get some water at noon."
"Oh! No need!" Wei Ye waved his hand, "Isn't it just a pot of water? Given our relationship, it's too formal!"
Li Yuying scratched her head and said, "I'll buy a kettle later so everyone can use it."
She came in a hurry, so she brought some quilts and clothes, but she didn't bring a thermos at all. It seems she still needs to buy one, because she can't always use her roommate's. Just because everyone is on good terms doesn't mean she should take advantage of them.
Although I'm a bit tight on money, I can still buy a thermos after the subsidy arrives. I'll have to figure out how to get the ticket, or I'll have to borrow from my roommate.
Ge Mei remained silent, mentally calculating her living expenses, trying to figure out where she could save a little and buy a thermos. It might be a bit pricey, but it would last for years. If she couldn't stay in Beijing after graduation, she could sell it privately—it would definitely be worth the money. But buying it secondhand would be even better.
The two of them had their own plans in mind and had almost finished washing up. A group of people made way and walked towards the dormitory.
Wei Ye then spoke in a low voice, "Sister Ying, do you want to buy a kettle? Well, let me tell you, don't spend a lot of money to buy it at the supply and marketing cooperative. There's a flea market near our school where things are cheaper. Many seniors will get rid of things they can't take away when they graduate. If you pick carefully, you can find a lot of good things!"
"Really?" Li Yuying was a little surprised.
Ge Mei's eyes lit up. A flea market, isn't this the ideal place?
As for second-hand goods, she doesn't care at all. As long as the price is low and the item is usable, she doesn't mind it at all! Not only does she not mind it, she even hopes that the item is as old as possible, so that she can get it at a lower price.
"Yes, I learned all this from my seniors." Wei Ye nodded.
She and her sister Jianshu were the first to arrive in the entire dormitory. However, Jianshu and her sister had gone home early, leaving her alone with nothing to do. So, wasn't she just wandering around campus? Plus, she was so welcoming and pleasant-speaking that she immediately made her way into the welcoming group of seniors.
The senior students also liked her and told her a lot of information, including but not limited to where to buy things at the cheapest, which cafeteria had the best food, and which professor was humorous...
"How about we go to the flea market after the class meeting today?" Zhou Yanan was also tempted.
Although she still has some money on hand, she still has to save as much as possible because there will be many more places to spend money in the future.
"Yes, let's go early. Not many people know about this news yet. If we go too late, all the good things will be snatched away by others." Li Yuying rubbed her hands, wishing she could go straight to the flea market and make a big move.
"Ye Zi, do you have anything to do today? If so, you can tell us the address and we can go there by ourselves." Ge Mei said.
Wei Ye readily agreed, "I'm fine. If everyone wants to go, I'll take you. I also want to go shopping. Shushu, Lingling, are you guys going?"
Jianshu is taking care of her skin. In the winter in Beijing, if she doesn't put some skin care products on her face, it will become so dry that people will think it's going to crack.
