They knew Jianshu well, and they wouldn't boast. Since she said she was assured, it meant she was very confident.
"I knew Shushu wouldn't let us down!"
“Shushu is awesome!”
"Why don't we go celebrate today!"
Jianshu waved his hand. "Forget about celebrating. The grades haven't come out yet. Telling others about it would just make people think you're being ostentatious. Once the concurrent enrollment is confirmed for next semester, I'll treat everyone to a nice meal."
Zhao Yueling understood her sister's thoughts very well and quickly chimed in, "Summer vacation is almost here. Let's go to the cafeteria to have a meal today. It can be considered a good gathering before the holiday."
"Okay, that's a good idea. We won't see each other again for two months, so we have to get together." Wei Ye also nodded.
There are six people in the dormitory. Jian Shu had already decided to take the children back to the family compound to look after Gu Mingjing. Wei Ye also wanted to go home, and Li Yuying also had to go back to see her husband and children. Zhao Yueling and Zhou Yanan's home was in Beijing. Ge Mei didn't plan to go back, as the round-trip fare was another expense. She planned to go back during the Chinese New Year, which was a good time for her to stay and study.
So everyone agreed.
A meal in the cafeteria is not expensive and everyone can afford it.
A group of people were chatting while eating.
"Sister Ying, Ye Zi, have you bought your tickets? When are you leaving?" Zhou Yanan asked with concern.
Wei Ye nodded and said, "I've bought it. My car is scheduled for five days from now. It's a good time to take a stroll around Beijing and buy some local specialties to bring back to my family."
"I bought a ticket for three days later. Let's go shopping together then. I also want to buy something for my two children at home." Li Yuying continued.
Jian Shu smiled and said, "If you want to go shopping, then find Lingling. She's very familiar with Beijing City. She used to work in a department store, so she knows a lot of people and can get some insider deals. I have to leave tomorrow afternoon, so I can't accompany you. If there's anywhere you want to go, just go find her."
Hearing this, the two were instantly moved, and even Zhou Yanan and Ge Mei were a little eager to try.
Zhao Yueling spoke at the right time, "Yes, if you have any place you want to go, just tell me and I will arrange it."
Li Yuying glanced at everyone and suggested, "How about this? Let's go shopping together tomorrow, and then go shopping the day after tomorrow. I've been in Beijing for so long, but I still haven't been to the Forbidden City or climbed the Great Wall."
They are busy with their studies on weekdays, and especially when they see others running to the library all day, they get anxious too. How can they have the mood to go out and play? After a busy six months, summer vacation is finally here, and it’s time to go out and relax.
"That's a good idea. I'll have some fun before I go back so I can have something to talk about when I get home. Otherwise, when I get back and someone asks me what the Forbidden City is like, I won't be able to answer. That would be so embarrassing. People who don't know would think we're not attending university in Beijing!" Wei Ye nodded repeatedly. She booked her tickets a few days late so she could have some fun.
"Where are Yanan and Amei?"
"I'm fine with anything. I'm always at your service." Zhou Yanan nodded. She hadn't been back for many years, so it would be nice to take this time to get familiar with the place.
Ge Mei closed the book and said, "Since you are all going, I certainly can't fall behind." It doesn't cost any money to go for a stroll, and it's nice to see more of the world. When I go back for the New Year, I can tell my grandparents about it.
"It's a pity that Shushu has to leave tomorrow, otherwise our dormitory 301 would be complete."
Jian Shu smiled and said, "It's okay. There are many days ahead of us, and we'll have plenty of time to go out and play together. Have fun this time. I have a camera at home, and I'll have Lingling bring it with me so I can take some pictures of you."
"Yes, I'll take pictures of everyone then. I'm a pretty good photographer!"
"Then how about this, you lend us the camera, but we'll pay for the film ourselves." Li Yuying suggested, not wanting to take advantage of him too much.
"Yes, yes, yes. We'll pay for the film tickets. You can't pay for this." The others nodded.
Even if you are roommates, you should not be too inappropriate.
Seeing that they insisted, Jianshu didn't persuade them any more. Although the film was not cheap, it was okay to share the cost among several people. At least it was much more cost-effective to go to a photo studio to take pictures.
Even the usually frugal Ge Mei planned to take two photos, one of the Forbidden City and one of the Great Wall, to bring back home to show her family. As for the cost, they could just save money elsewhere.
No matter how good your words are, they can never compare to the scenery in the photos. Even if I have to save money, it’s worth it to let my family see the Great Wall and the Forbidden City!
The group of people discussed it like this, and after returning to the dormitory, Jianshu packed up and prepared to go home. Zhao Yueling did not go back, but planned to stay in the dormitory for a few more days, and go home after sending all her roommates away. Zhou Yanan did the same.
On the way back, Jianshu bought two roast ducks, kept one at home and sent the remaining one to the Zhao family. He also mentioned that Zhao Yueling would be staying in the dormitory for two days.
"This roast duck still tastes the same as before, it hasn't changed at all." Jian Yucheng tasted the roast duck and nodded.
Jian Shu rolled one for his daughter and handed it to her. He smiled and said, "It's a long-standing brand. Of course it hasn't changed over the years."
"Eight dollars each, it's a bit too expensive." Aunt He said with some heartache.
How much is a worker's salary these days? It's not even enough to eat a few roast ducks. How many ducks can you buy with eight yuan?
Xiao Yang was concentrating on eating. Normally, he couldn't afford to buy roast duck, but this was thanks to the leader.
Jianshu also nodded, "It's a bit expensive, but there's nothing we can do. We just can't make this taste ourselves."
She can make roast duck herself, but the taste is indeed a little worse than this one. Otherwise, why would she spend this money?
At eight yuan per piece, if she buys one a day, her father's salary won't be enough to cover the cost.
I have to say that there are really a lot of rich people in Beijing, and quite a few people would eat such an expensive duck.
Four adults and one child ate up the whole duck. Little Gu Yiyi was still not satisfied after finishing the meal. "Mom, can we have roast duck next time?"
"Then you must be obedient in kindergarten."
"I'm the most obedient! The teacher says I'm a good kid!"
"Okay, keep it up. Mom will buy you roast duck next time."
Without having to wait for the next time, Jianshu bought five more roast ducks and some famous Beijing snacks and other specialties the next morning.
The weather is hot now, and the roast duck will spoil easily on the way, but Jianshu has a space that can keep it fresh, so there is no need to worry. I guarantee that when I take it out, it will be exactly the same as when I put it in. Then I will let her Gu Mingjing have a good taste.
The other specialties were prepared for Wu Xiufang, Han Jingshan and others, but the roast duck was not given to them. It was kept for their family to eat so that they would not have to worry about being exposed.
