good old days

"Eight yuan a month is definitely enough for food, and the rest can be sent home. Many seniors are like this."

Wang Ying dutifully told them about school life.

Jiang Xinyu has no plans to apply for a scholarship. She and Chen Yi have considerable savings, so they will not use up national resources.

Let’s do the math. Students these days not only don’t spend money to go to college, but they can also help their families.

"Sister Wang Ying, does the school have any scholarships? It is a special reward given by the school to students with good grades."

Grants take advantage of the country and the school, but scholarships do not. It will only encourage her to study harder!

Wang Ying said: "As far as I know, when people in the institute have major and outstanding achievements, they will be given some rewards. Our school does not have scholarships yet, but for the third-class scholarship, in addition to having a really difficult family, there are also requirements for academic performance. of."

Senior Sister Wang Ying ran with the three of them all afternoon, but was called away by her classmates on the way to the cafeteria.

This was the first time Jiang Xinyu went back to the school cafeteria to eat.

The cafeteria is the size of an auditorium. The sorghum rice is placed in a large rice bowl, which looks a bit rough.

It was lunch time and there were many students queuing up.They arrived not too early, and the meat and vegetables were gone, leaving only fried cabbage and potatoes.

The rest was what Jiang Xinyu hated the most, but she had to eat it. One tael of rice and two cents of cabbage.

This meal costs less than a dime. According to this standard, Jiang Xinyu spends less than thirty cents on three meals a day, which is enough for a meal ticket of 28 pounds a month.

There were too many people, and there was no place to sit in the canteen. Outside the canteen, there were boys gathering on the roadside to eat.The three girls carried their lunch boxes back to the dormitory to eat. On this cold day, they couldn't just squat on the roadside and eat like the boys.

Entering the dormitory, Jiang Xinyu was stopped by the dormitory aunt, "Did you go to your sister's place before?"

Jiang Xinyu nodded without knowing why.

"From now on, you must go back to the dormitory before turning off the lights at night. If you want to go out, you must ask for leave and register with me. Otherwise, where can I find someone if you lose me?"

Jiang Xinyu was a little ashamed, so she apologized and promised that she would never do this again.

She thought it would be the same now as it would be in college in the future, and bedtime checks at night would not be so strict.Besides, none of the students were here. She thought they students were quite free these days.

The lunch box was placed on the table. The two taels of rice that Guo Hong asked for filled the lunch box to the brim, and then she started to eat the rice.

Jiang Xinyu took out the chili sauce and asked them if they needed it.

The sauce was mixed with mushrooms and bacon, and there was plenty of oil and water. Her mother-in-law filled five jars for the two of them. Chen Yi took one jar and kept the rest for her.

As soon as the box was opened, the fragrance came out. Guo Hong's eyes glanced over. She swallowed and turned around to dig something out of her cabinet.

"I'm sorry to eat your food for nothing. I brought some pickled locust acacia from home. It's worthless in our place. There's a lot of it growing underground and there's no food to eat in the winter. You'll eat a lot of it, so don't mind it."

Zhao Xiaohan said weakly: "I also brought pickles."

When children go away to college, families will try to bring something that can last a long time, and pickles are the most suitable.

The three girls all took out the things they brought from their hometowns and exchanged them with each other to eat.

The roommate who everyone wants to be friendly with after living together for so long in the future is now showing his friendliness to others.

Girl friendship is so simple, you can get to know each other over a meal.

In the evening, when Jiang Xinyu had washed herself and brought half a basin of water, and was about to go back to soak her feet, when she opened the door, the smell in the room made her silent.

Zhao Xiaohan was choked by the smell in the room. As soon as she came in, her eyes for help were glued to him.The smell came from Guo Hong's feet. Her toes were rotten.

"Sister Hong, soak in hot water, don't wear such thick and airtight shoes, and apply some medicine. It will be fine in a while." Jiang Xinyu tried her best to speak in a natural tone and expression.

Guo Hong was a little shy, "I received cotton-padded shoes at school today. My previous pair of shoes had to be aired well."

While the two were talking, the door of the dormitory next door came in.

Several lesbians covered their mouths, "What does this smell like?"

Jiang Xinyu stood up and blocked their gaze in Guo Hong's direction, "The pickles I brought from home are spoiled. If you have anything to do, you should go to the door and tell me."

Guo Hong's heart jumped into her throat. When Jiang Xinyu took the person out, she quickly got on the bed and tucked her feet into the bed.Her feet had been rotten on and off for more than two months. The itching was so unbearable that she almost scratched it to pieces.

Several girls believed Jiang Xinyu's excuse and actually retreated to the door.

"Aren't our two dormitories in the same class? We haven't announced the official class time yet, so we just thought that we would go climb the Great Wall together, visit Tiananmen Square, and tour the capital together. We even found a guide Okay, do you want to go together?"

The girl's voice was loud, and both Zhao Xiaohan and Guo Hong heard it. When Jiang Xinyu asked, they both nodded slightly excitedly.

"OK."

"Okay! Let's make an agreement then."

Who doesn’t yearn for the capital in this day and age?Not to mention this era, in the future everyone who comes to the capital to study or work will not go to places like the Great Wall and Tiananmen Square?
After returning to the dormitory and closing the door tightly, Jiang Xinyu said, "Quickly soak your feet. Put on new shoes tomorrow and soak them every night to make sure they are healed faster."

She couldn't bear the smell. She had already started to feel nauseous.

Zhao Xiaohan wanted to open the window to disperse the smell, glanced at Guo Hong several times, and finally opened the window slowly.After Guo Hong finished soaking her feet, she applied her cream to Guo Hong.

Jiang Xinyu took out the clam oil and said, "Her face is chapped, use this first, it will heal quickly.

Guo Hong felt less uncomfortable because her roommate cared about her.

"We are both teachers, how come you are worse than me? Are you even reluctant to use clam oil?"

Guo Hong's loud voice became softer and she explained: "Your wages are paid on time, right? We will have debts there, and my family has a large population." In the future, she will have to save up the subsidy and send it home.

Jiang Xinyu was a little confused. The economic level of Northeast China at this time should be much better than that of theirs, right?Why aren't Guo Hong's wages paid on time?
Guo Hong refused to take anything from the two of them, so Zhao Xiaohan directly picked a piece of it and smeared it on her face.

Jiang Xinyu was about to take off her clothes and go to bed, and said, "I'll tell you a secret."

"What?"

They both looked up at her.

Jiang Xinyu took off her military coat, revealing the sweater underneath.

Under her sweater, her belly puffed out.

"You look quite thin, but I didn't expect you to be quite muscular." Guo Hong's mouth reacted faster than her brain.

Zhao Xiaohan nodded without knowing why.

So the secret is fat?

After Guo Hong finished speaking, she came to her senses. Her eyes widened: "Are you pregnant?"
