I have plenty of time in college and am relatively free.
After officially starting classes, Li Wei's life was simple and monotonous. Her family gives her eighty yuan a month for living expenses, and the school subsidizes part of it, so she doesn't have to worry about food. If she saves a little more, she can still be wealthy.
Li Wei thought that there would be many places to use money in the future and it would be difficult to ask his family for money, so he decided to use his spare time to do part-time jobs to earn some extra money. Because I am a student, I spend most of my time in school studying, and I only have a little bit of free time after school.
Li Wei walked around several streets near the university, looking for a suitable opportunity. The easiest job was in the restaurants facing the school. Her family also ran a restaurant, so it was not difficult to find a job. So she quickly negotiated with one. She went to help after class every day, and was paid 100 yuan a month. Although it was not much, it was still an extra income.
"Although my classmates came here to help on the first day, they were very neat. Unlike some other students who didn't know how to wipe the table or sweep the floor when they first came here. They just stood there numbly, no different from wood. No matter what kind of work you have to do, you have to shout." The restaurant owner was quite satisfied with Li Wei.
Li Wei said: "My family owns a restaurant, so I am very familiar with the work."
"No wonder it's not possible. We like people who are diligent and discerning. Can you come over early tomorrow morning?"
Li Wei thought about her class schedule and nodded: "Okay, there will be no classes after 10:30 tomorrow." She took off her apron, said goodbye to the restaurant owner, and then rode back to school. It was almost nine o'clock now, and the fluorescent lights in the teaching building were still on, so she went straight back to the dormitory building.
On the lawn downstairs, there were pairs of young men and women who were passionately in love. They didn't care at all when someone passed by. She locked the car and went up to the third floor carrying her canvas bag. The lights in dormitory 319 were on and the door was not closed. Zhou Qianyu was there when she entered. Zhou Qianyu was sitting at the table with a small mirror in front of her, applying lipstick in front of it. Li Wei thought it was already nine o'clock in the evening and she put on lipstick to show someone.
"Li Wei, do you think this color is good?" Zhou Qianyu pursed her lips and showed Li Wei the color she had just applied. The lips looked even redder under the light. Zhou Qianyu's skin is white, and her skin color is more visible in the sun. Now she applies the two colors to complement each other, and her lips look even more red.
"It seems a bit bright." Li Wei didn't dare to try such a striking color.
Zhou Qianyu smiled and said, "Hey, they say you can look more energetic by putting on light makeup."
Li Wei put down the canvas bag and took the washbasin to the water room. By the time she came back, everyone else in the dormitory was almost back. Tang Shiyun, who was sleeping on the bunk above her, had already put down the mosquito net and closed himself in the tent without knowing what he was doing. Wu Mei was on the phone, Sun Xiaofang was studying hard wearing a pair of thick glasses, and Xiang Hailan was wearing headphones and listening to tapes. Only Chen Zhu hasn't come back yet.
After Li Wei put away his things, he remembered that he still had some unfinished homework, so he found a textbook and wrote a few pages of questions, and memorized a few English words, but the dormitory was so noisy that he really couldn't memorize them. Li Wei had to give up, took off his shoes and went to bed. She took out the Walkman her eldest brother gave her and listened quietly for a while.
At half past ten, the lights in the dormitory went out, and it was time for the sleep-talking meeting every night. Tang Shiyun never spoke in the sleeping-talking meeting, and always closed himself in the mosquito net, quietly, and did not speak at all. There is no sense of presence either.
Xiang Hailan was still on Zhou Qianyu's bed on the lower bunk. The two of them were hiding under the covers and chattering without knowing what to say. Later, when Li Wei heard the name "Zhu Ning" from time to time, she guessed that the two were talking about boys.
"I've inquired for you. This Zhu Ning is a sophomore majoring in finance and economics, majoring in international trade. But are you really interested in him?" Xiang Hailan was a bit gossipy.
Zhou Qianyu said: "There was a big class in the mobile classroom. When our class entered, the previous class hadn't finished yet. He left a book right where I sat. I flipped through his book curiously. I saw this name written in the textbook. Later, he came over and asked me for the book. When I looked up, I saw a tall and sunny boy, wearing a dark blue long-sleeved T-shirt and light blue jeans, with good looks. It was the one I liked, and I remembered him with just one glance. I should have blushed at that time, and when I handed the book over, he smiled and said thank you. "
Xiang Hailan exclaimed: "God, call it love at first sight."
Zhou Qianyu did not shy away: "Probably. Can you help me contact him?"
"What are you going to do? Are you going to chase him?"
Zhou Qianyu immediately said again: "Do you think I can do it?"
"You have good skin, a better figure, and a good face. You will definitely be good at it." Xiang Hailan said with a smile.
Zhou Qianyu felt confident after hearing this, and planned to ask about Zhu Ning first. If the famous grass had an owner, forget it. If it was still a person, she would have to find a way to catch this person.
Li Wei listened to everything they talked about. It was none of her business, but she was not interested in the lovemaking of some little girls. Feeling sleepy, Li Wei closed his eyes and soon fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Li Wei took his textbook and waited for Tang Shiyun to go to class together. They were in the same major and in the same class. Tang Shiyun could still talk to Li Wei for a few words in the dormitory, but they usually kept to themselves.
"Stay away from me, I smell of oil smoke and green onion." Tang Shiyun curled her lips in disgust.
Li Wei took it seriously, raised his sleeves and smelled it hard. There was a faint smell of washing powder, but it didn't have the strange smell that Tang Shiyun said.
"I didn't smell it."
"Of course you can't hear it yourself. If you don't read good books, why go to work in a restaurant? Your family doesn't have enough money?"
Li Wei was not annoyed, she said: "I'm a little short of money. When there are no classes, you spend most of your time in the library, right?"
The two of them left the teaching building in Block D, and after attending two classes in succession, it was already half past ten. Li Wei did not go to the restaurant where she worked as soon as get out of class was over. She went to the library first to return books, and then returned to her dormitory.
Wu Mei hid in the dormitory and slept in without going to class. Li Wei took a basin of dirty clothes to wash in the water room, but saw a pair of smelly sneakers in the cabinet. There was also a pair of blackened socks stuffed in the shoes, and the uppers were also dusty. The toes were already glued but they were not repaired. Needless to say, these shoes must belong to Sun Xiaofang.
Sun Xiaofang comes from a remote rural area. She doesn't pay much attention to personal hygiene. She can't take a shower twice a month, and her dirty clothes can pile up for a long time.
