Chapter 51 The Great Wall



Lin Xiuyao had already cleaned the house. Su Qingmeng took out the pork and fish from the warehouse and said, "I've been eating in the cafeteria for a week. I'm going to make a good meal today to reward myself."

Lin Xiuyao: "Why don't you come back for dinner later? You have to come back to take a shower every day anyway." His wife has lost weight.

After considering it, Su Qingmeng thought it was a good idea. After dinner, they went to the space to wash the clothes and hang them up, then went out to buy things.

They picked out some pastries, the famous Beijing Eight Pieces. I'd bought a box beforehand; it was delicious. It's cold now, so it shouldn't go bad, but it's hot in the south, so I bought two boxes just in case. I also bought two boxes of malted milk and some fabric. They were for my pregnant sister-in-law and the baby.

Su Qingmeng: "What does your elder brother like?"

Lin Xiuyao thought about it and shook his head: "I don't know. I was still young when he left, so I don't remember. He only came back twice after joining the army, and both times were quite rushed. I don't know what his hobbies were."

"Then what to buy? Does he smoke or drink?" "He drank and smoked during the Chinese New Year holiday two years ago. I think he smoked too." He said uncertainly.

"How about buying a pack of cigarettes?" She had no experience in gift-giving. They went to a roast duck shop and bought a roast duck, which could be vacuum-packed and wouldn't spoil.

"That's all." Lin Xiuyao said that it was almost the same as what his elder brother mailed.

When they got home, they added two more bags of brown sugar. Lin Xiuyao wrote a reply and mailed it from the post office.

At night, Lin Xiuyao rubbed her, but Su Qingmeng refused, "No, today is my dangerous period, and I don't have any condoms."

Although they are free now, the hospital's stock is limited. The condoms he got from his hometown were used up over the winter, and there are not many left. Last time he was too excited and used up all the stock. Su Qingmeng will not let him reuse them.

Lin Xiuyao gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go to the hospital to get it tomorrow." Su Qingmeng smiled, but soon she couldn't smile anymore.

The next day, Su Qingmeng woke up with pain in her thighs. She grabbed Lin Xiuyao's ear and said, "You've learned bad things. Tell me the truth, where did you learn these messed up tricks?" He was so naive before.

Lin Xiuyao confessed honestly: "My roommate said that, I just listened casually." Su Qingmeng was angry, "What kind of topics are you talking about? Stay away from me in the future." Seeing that he nodded honestly, she let him go.

After breakfast, Su Qingmeng took out the wooden boards from the warehouse and handed him the schematic diagram she had drawn at school. "You can make the table at home. I've marked the dimensions."

She walked to school and met up with her roommates. Everyone except Gao Qin had come. They took the bus to the Great Wall Station, bought tickets at the entrance, and climbed the wall together.

Today is Sunday and there are a lot of people. Su Qingmeng felt her legs sore after climbing for half an hour. She has neglected exercise recently, so it seems she will have to run again in the evening.

Bai Yushuang was even worse off, having to rely on Huang Xi to pull her along. She complained, "I'm so tired, let's take a break, I can't walk anymore." Wang Shanyue encouraged her, "Comrade Xiaobai, persistence is victory."

Bai Yushuang rolled her eyes obscurely and sat down next to her. Su Qingmeng saw this and thought she was being too hypocritical. They had just rested, and they were only halfway there, and she wanted to rest again.

She pulled He Rui: "Why don't we go first and wait in the front." He Rui's breathing was a little disordered, but her face did not change. She had been an educated youth before and had good physical fitness.

The two of them said goodbye to the others and left first. Qiu Ling followed, and the others stayed where they were, waiting. They chatted as they walked, and they didn't feel tired anymore.

After walking and stopping for nearly three hours, they were almost at the beacon tower. The road was very steep, so they rested for a while before climbing up.

Finally they arrived at the beacon tower, which is the highest point. They looked at the scenery from the observation deck. From here they could overlook the entire city wall. It was majestic and spectacular, the sky was cloudless, and the scenery was nice.

Su Qingmeng said, "Let's be heroes today," and they both laughed. She took out her camera and asked, "Want to take a picture?" Qiu Ling was surprised. "You brought a camera?"

Su Qingmeng nodded. "Yes, I need to take a few more pictures, otherwise it would be a shame for the hard work I put in climbing up here." He Rui said, "Then I'll take a picture for you."

Su Qingmeng adjusted the camera, told her the shutter button, and took a photo with the beacon tower in the background and another with the Great Wall in the background, leaning against the city wall.

After taking the photo, I asked them, "Do you want to take more photos?" They were embarrassed, and Su Qingmeng persuaded them, "It's okay, one photo each, we still have a few rolls of film." They had used two rolls of film since coming to Beijing.

"Then charge according to the photo studio's rates. I'll give you the money later." He Rui said. She really wanted to take a photo, but it would be bad to use her roommate's camera film for nothing.

Su Qingmeng: "Okay, I have to send the photos to the photo studio to develop them anyway. Just give me the money for the film and the developer when the time comes."

The two posed for a photo each.

At this time, other people also came up. Seeing them taking pictures, Bai Yushuang walked over and asked, "Whose camera is this? I want to take a picture too."

Su Qingmeng: "My film is running low, why don't we take a photo together?"

Bai Yushuang was a little unhappy, but Su Qingmeng didn't let her off. She asked everyone to come over and stand still, and found a tourist to help take pictures.

They admired the scenery for a while, ate the lunch they had brought, and began to walk down. There was no cable car at the time, so they had to climb on foot. It was past four o'clock when Su Qingmeng and the others came out. They hurried to catch the bus back to school. It was dark when they arrived. After getting off the bus, Lin Xiuyao was waiting for her at the stop.

Su Qingmeng said goodbye to her roommate and went home first.

Qiu Ling said, "Sister Qingmeng's partner is so considerate." Wang Shanyue joked, "Then you must keep your eyes open when looking for a partner in the future, and try to find someone as considerate as this." Everyone laughed.

Su Qingmeng sat in the back seat, hugging Lin Xiuyao. "Why are you here?" "I saw you weren't back so late, so I was worried about you."
