Traveling between the 70s and the modern world

Chapter 286 Roommate (60)



Chapter 286 Roommate (60)

Lin Qingyan went to the shared bathroom and filled a basin with water.

As I walked towards the dormitory, I saw a girl carrying a large bag, standing at the door of 205. She wanted to knock on the door, but she had too many heavy things in her hands and she couldn't free her hands.

Lin Qingyan put the basin in her hand on the ground, walked up to her and said:

"Classmate, do you live in 205?"

The girl opposite then noticed that there was someone behind her. She pursed her lips and smiled at Lin Qingyan.

"Yes, I live in 205."

The man spoke with a thick Beijing accent, and his features were regular, but he gave Lin Qingyan a sense of vicissitudes of life, and he looked to be in his thirties.

Lin Qingyan hurried forward to help her carry the things. The woman opposite subconsciously wanted to retract her hand, but after a slight pause, she let Lin Qingyan take it.

At this time, the dormitory door had been opened from the inside. Yu Xiaomei stood inside and looked at Lin Qingyan and asked:

"I heard your voice inside, why don't you come in?"

Then he said to the woman with the big and small bags,

"Are you our new roommate? Come in, I'm Yu Xiaomei."

"Hello, I'm Liu Yajun."

Lin Qingyan helped Liu Yajun carry her things into the dormitory, looked at the two remaining beds, and said to her:

"There are two more beds, which one do you want to sleep on?"

Liu Yajun looked at the remaining two beds and chose Yu Xiaomei's upper bunk without hesitation.

The people in the dormitory introduced themselves to each other and went about their business.

Lin Qingyan had just made the bed when Wang Lanlan and Ye Yi came to find her.

"Qingyan, are you ready? Let's go to the cafeteria to transfer the food books."

Lin Qingyan said hello to the people in the dormitory, and walked out of the dormitory with Wang Lanlan and the others towards the cafeteria.

Ye Yi rarely gossiped with Lin Qingyan,

"Qingyan, did you know that there is a girl in our dormitory who came to school with a big belly?"

"Are you pregnant?"

"Yes, she is also an educated youth who went to the countryside. She has been there for many years and has not found a partner until this year. Now she sees no hope, so she married a local villager in the first half of this year."

Ye Yi sighed a little when she said this. If Lin Qingyan hadn't been with her for more than a year, she might not have been able to hold on and might have just found someone to marry.

"Although her husband was uneducated, he was a good man. When she learned that the college entrance examination was resumed, she cried bitterly. The man's family did not want her to take the college entrance examination and kept trying to stop her.

However, seeing that she was crying so sadly, her husband went to beg his mother, and finally the mother-in-law stopped trying to stop her, but required her to get pregnant before she could go to school.

The man’s family is worried that after she gets into college, she will have no ties and will not go back home.” Wang Lanlan added about her roommate’s situation.

After Wang Lanlan finished speaking, she said to Lin Qingyan seriously:

"Qingyan, thank you. Thank you for helping me give advice and helping my mother to find a partner for me. Otherwise, I might not have the energy to go to college."

"You should thank me for this. Please treat me to lunch today!"

"Okay, let alone one meal, I'll treat you even ten meals."

"And me too. I advised you at the time that you couldn't just invite her, there's also me!"

"Okay, okay, it's okay if I treat you!"

The three of them chatted and laughed as they walked to the cafeteria. After having lunch there, they were about to take a walk around the campus before returning to the dormitory. As a result, they met Yu Zhengming who had come to find them on campus.

"Godfather!"

"Professor Yu!"

Ye Yi and Wang Lanlan did not call him Teacher Yu as they did before. After all, Yu Zhengming was a professor at Peking University, and it was not appropriate for them to call him Teacher.

"Did you forget something?"

Yu Zhengming saw that they were coming from the cafeteria and asked in a bad tone.

"Godfather, the school has just started. We need to get to know our roommates and classmates. If we go to your place right from the start, they might form a small group to exclude us if they find out."

Lin Qingyan hurried forward to coax Yu Zhengming.

Ye Yi and Wang Lanlan didn't dare to say anything at this moment. Not to mention that they were not familiar with Yu Zhengming, they also knew that Yu Zhengming wanted to scold Lin Qingyan, not them.

"Your godmother has already cooked a lot of food, waiting for you to come over to her house for dinner!" Yu Zhengming had just finished speaking.

Lin Qingyan immediately smiled and said to him:

"Godfather, we were planning to finish our work in the afternoon and go over to have dinner with godmother in the evening."

"Are you three sure you're full?"

The three of them nodded at the same time. Yu Zhengming did not make things difficult for them and turned around and went home.

When Lin Qingyan returned to the dormitory, she found that the last roommate of their dormitory had also arrived.

A few people were chatting, and seeing Lin Qingyan coming in, Yu Xiaomei smiled and asked:

"Have you been to the cafeteria?"

"Yes, the grain book has been transferred!"

"Qingyan, this is our new roommate Zhu Sumei, from the Archaeology Department!"

Lin Qingyan looked at her new roommate in front of her with a smile. She had a straight face, was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, and had a bright and generous smile.

"Hello, I'm Lin Qingyan, from the Department of Economics and Management."

All the roommates were present and they were chatting in the dormitory, talking about their basic situations.

When her roommates learned that Lin Qingyan was an educated youth, they were all surprised. After all, she didn't look like an educated youth who had always stayed in the countryside.

There are six people in dormitory 205, three of whom were educated youth sent to the countryside: Liu Yajun, Zhu Sumei, and Lin Qingyan.

"Qingyan, what did you do as educated youth in the countryside?" Yu Xiaomei asked curiously.

"We have to do whatever they do, whether it's farming, weeding, or harvesting during the busy autumn season!"

"Is it very hard?" Zhang Lirong looked at her with some sympathy.

Lin Qingyan smiled and said,

"I was not used to it when I first went there. It was very hard and many people couldn't stick with it at that time. But I got used to it and it was fine. The place I supported was in the northeast, where it was cold in winter, so I didn't need to go out to work in winter."

Yu Xiaomei wanted to ask Liu Yajun and Zhu Sumei, but when she saw that neither of them had the interest to continue the conversation, she did not ask any more.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Yu Xiaomei said to the outside excitedly: "Please come in!"

The door was pushed open, and the person who came in was the baby-faced senior who had just registered downstairs and sent Lin Qingyan to the dormitory downstairs.

"Is Lin Qingyan here?"

Lin Qingyan smiled and walked out from the corner.

"Senior, do you have something to ask me?"

"Lin Qingyan, are you there? Get ready. You will speak on behalf of the freshmen at the opening ceremony tomorrow!"

The news brought by the senior student completely shocked the roommates in 205. Some of them were surprised and envious, while others had a slight gleam in their eyes.
