It was 1980, and society was changing more and more.
Shortly after school started, a big thing happened at home. Xiaopang, who had accompanied Jianshu from Beijing to the staff housing complex and then back to Beijing, passed away.
As far as dogs go, Xiaopang is undoubtedly old at 20. He has been in a bad mood for a few years now.
Ten years ago, he could bite the bad guys so hard that they cried for their parents, but many years later, he spent most of his time sleeping.
Even though Jianshu has been using space spring water to nourish its body, the dog's lifespan is limited and cannot be exceeded.
After Xiaopang died, the one who cried the most sadly was the little girl Gu Yiyi. She had deep feelings for this little dog who had been with her since she could remember.
Jian Shu didn't seem that sad on the surface. Perhaps he had been mentally prepared. When the aging organs put a heavy burden on the body, living might be more painful than death.
This is a happy funeral for Xiaopang, and she should be happy for him.
This is how Jianshu comforted himself.
But she couldn't help but become silent, as if a huge hole was left in her heart. This feeling was like a friend who had been with you for many years suddenly passed away.
During the days when she thought she had just traveled through time, she didn't dare to contact too many familiar people. She lived alone in a small courtyard. The only person who accompanied her at that time was this dog.
For countless days and nights, a man and a dog ran on the grass in the space, ate fruits in the fields, and lay on the sofa like Ge You...
Later, even after she moved to the staff housing complex, Jianshu still found a way to transport it over so that it could continue to accompany her.
It witnessed her getting married and having children, and accompanied her daughter as she grew up.
She thought it would never leave her, but this day came suddenly.
Suddenly, she couldn't help but wonder if she had seen it wrong. Was her little fat kid still running freely on the grass in the space?
But there was no longer that familiar voice around her, as if telling her that Xiaopang was really gone.
Yes, it’s gone...
Xiaopang was buried in the grass in the space, in the place he loved most when he was alive.
It seemed as if it could accompany her forever in another form.
Jianshu continued to remain silent. The people around him wanted to persuade him but didn't know how to start.
Until one day a month later, when she saw the food that Xiaopang loved to eat, she suddenly burst into tears.
"Little Fatty——"
It was as if I wanted to vent all the emotions that had accumulated in my heart over the past month.
"Cry, it will feel better once you cry." Jian Yucheng patted his daughter's back gently and stayed with her quietly.
She cried, the child cried too, and the mother and daughter suddenly cried together.
She cried for a long time that day, and her eyes were still swollen the next day.
…
After venting once, Jianshu gradually returned to normal.
People cannot always be immersed in negative emotions, life must go on.
She buried all those memories deep in her heart.
At the end of April, Gu Mingjing finally came to Beijing to reunite with his family. The family had a good meal together to celebrate, and then plunged into endless work and study.
Jian Yucheng has always been a busy man. Gu Mingjing had just been transferred here and was also busy getting familiar with the work environment. Not to mention Jian Shu. It was not easy to study two majors. Even if one had a foundation from the previous life, if one did not work hard, he might be left behind by others at any time.
She has bought a house and a shop, but she has never had time to deal with the business of opening a shop. Isn't it because she is too busy with her studies?
Nowadays, more and more people are setting up stalls, and the back door of Peking University is almost taking shape as a snack street. However, despite the fierce competition, Li Yuying's braised food stall is still crowded with customers, and has a considerable number of loyal customers.
It's not that there aren't some people out there who are jealous and want to steal their business, but in the food business, the most important thing is the craftsmanship. No matter how fancy your food is, it won't matter if it doesn't taste good.
With the example of Gaoji Braised Food, ordinary braised food stalls have no chance of competing. Unless they reduce prices, the cost of braised food is high. If they reduce prices too much, there will be little profit. However, a small reduction will not make a big difference. Most people would rather spend more and eat something delicious.
Otherwise, if the food in the cafeteria is cheaper, why don’t they eat in the cafeteria?
After more than half a year, the small stall that was originally run by his family also hired two helpers.
Jianshu heard from Li Yuying that Gao Wei was planning to open a shop and had already found a location he'd set his sights on. They no longer had to borrow money to afford even a 400-yuan apartment. Even though housing prices had risen compared to last year with the increase in shop owners, paying in full was still a no-brainer.
Although self-employed people are often ridiculed, they can actually make a lot of money.
Because Li Yuying didn't shy away from the issue and often helped out at the stall, many people on campus knew her husband was a self-employed businessman. For university students with bright futures, the idea of self-employment was incomprehensible, and some people avoided her, as if getting too close would sway them.
There was also that nosy person who ran to the people in dormitory 301 and kindly reminded them to stay away from her, but was scolded away by Wei Ye, who was a firecracker.
Things that outsiders care about a lot, the people in dormitory 301 don’t mind.
Li Yuying wasn't mentioned. Ge Meiyin's family's worries about her tuition had made her even more obsessed with money. As long as money was earned honestly, there was nothing to be ashamed of. Face, that thing, was sometimes worthless.
Because of her life environment since childhood and some of the things she encountered when she went to the countryside, Zhou Yanan deeply realized that in this world, the only thing that will not betray you is money. As for other people's opinions, they are not important.
Wei Ye didn't really care about money. She grew up in a wealthy, harmonious family, and didn't have a strong desire for it. But she valued her friends more, cherishing anyone she recognized. In her eyes, none of her sisters were bad. Anyone who criticized them had their own problems.
The main point is to protect one's shortcomings!
As for Jianshu, there is no need to mention it. No matter who looks down on self-employed individuals, she will never look down on them. She herself is planning to do this.
Zhao Yueling, influenced by Jianshu, didn't look down on the self-employed. She even felt a little tempted when she occasionally heard others mention the profits of running a small business. This could make much more money than contributing to a newspaper!
In short, the friends who live in dormitory 301 are all lucky. No matter what the reason, they are all tolerant beyond their time.
And many times, what people lack is tolerance.
