Quick Wear: Passerby A's Daily Life of Eating Watermelons

"You, you are so old but you are not reliable at all. Why did you just tell me about such a big thing?"

The voices were so loud that Yao Ling's mother was startled. She came out with a spatula and asked Yao's father: "What's wrong? What's the matter? Why are you making such a fuss? Speak a little more quietly, there are guests."

"Do you know why your daughter came home?"

"I'll be able to care about her reasons once I'm back. Wait, didn't she secretly get married and pregnant?"

Jiang Yue was watching the speechless expression on Yao's father's face and almost couldn't help laughing. No wonder Yao Ling's personality was just like her mother's. Yao's father shook the admission letter and then stopped abruptly: "Come and see what this is."

Aunt Liu wiped the water off her hands, picked up the notice and looked at it, then she had the same expression as Father Jiang. After she came to her senses, she carefully folded the notice and put it away. After handing it to Father Yao, she walked towards Yao Ling with a spatula. Yao Ling knew her mother very well, so she pulled Jiang Yue up and hid behind her.

Aunt Liu scolded and beat her, but Yao Ling used Jiang Yue as a shield and couldn't hit her: "You are getting more and more unreliable as you get older. Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing earlier?"

"You didn't ask that, did you?"

"You're still quibbling?!" After that, he circled around Jiang Yue a few more times. This time, Yao Ling didn't dodge and was hit twice. Father Yao received the notice and came over to hold Aunt Liu back: "Let's talk about her later. Go cook. Xiaoyue hasn't eaten yet."

After the meal was ready, the family sat down to eat. Yao Ling told her parents what had happened in the past six months, focusing on the college entrance examination. After she finished, Yao Ling was starving. Kuku just had a dry meal. Jiang Yue had been eating silently from the beginning. Aunt Liu kept picking up food for her. She could hardly finish a full bowl of food.

Father Yao was very happy and drank two cups. After dinner, he asked Yao Ling and Jiang Yue to go back to the house to rest. After cleaning up the house, the old couple went to visit the neighbors. In Yao Ling's house, Jiang Yue could hear Father Yao's voice: "Yes, Xiaoling is back today. Yes, yes, yes, she was admitted to university! Peking University! No, no, she worked hard for herself. There is nothing we can do to help her!"

Yao Ling and Jiang Yue looked at each other and smiled in tacit understanding. It seemed that the two would not be back for a while. They were also very tired after sitting in the car for several days, and fell asleep in bed after lying on it for a while.

It was almost noon when they got up the next day. While eating, they heard Aunt Liu say that Yao's father had gone to work an hour earlier today. Many people came to the house right after dinner, especially those with children. They all came to ask them for advice. This time, the two of them had no way to avoid it and were caught red-handed.

Two hours later, Yao Ling used the excuse of taking Jiang Yue out to buy something to get away. When they went out, many people recognized them. This trend continued until they walked out of the community. After all, all the people in this community were workers from the same factory. They had lived there for decades, so how could they not know each other?

When they went out, Yao Ling took Jiang Yue for a walk, visited the elementary and middle schools she had attended, and went to the places she often played. She also took Jiang Yue to buy some food. They returned home at lunch time in the afternoon. When they got home, they found that there was a big new item in the house, a TV.

The reason for buying a TV is for Yao Ling and Jiang Yue to watch the news broadcast. According to Yao's father, if they are admitted to such a good university, they may become leaders in the future, and it will not hurt to know more about national affairs.

"Dad! You think so much. Who knows what will happen in the future."

"What do you know! This is called being prepared."

In the next few days, Yao Ling took Jiang Yue to visit Beijing and introduced her to her classmates. During the visit, she asked about housing, but now she is thinking too much. If she wants to buy a house, she has to wait until after the reform and opening up.

They stayed at Yao Ling's house for a few days and were not idle during these days. Many children from the neighborhood came to study with them, especially those who were preparing to take the college entrance examination for the second time. These were the ones who failed the first time and their foundation was really poor. Yao Ling was not as patient as Jiang Yue and she started to get angry while teaching.

As for Jiang Yue, she has lived for many years and has seen all kinds of people. She is quite stable. Father Yao and Auntie secretly said that it was no wonder that Jiang Yue applied to a normal school, as she was a good candidate to be a teacher.

The tutoring class lasted until a few days before they started school. Zhang Wei and Wang Liang sent a telegram telling them the time they would arrive in Beijing. Today, Jiang Yue and Yao Ling arrived at the train station early in the morning to wait. Their homes were far away and they had some money, so they planned to buy things when they got here, so they didn't have much luggage.

After picking up the people, they went back to Yao Ling's home and first found a guesthouse for them to stay in, because Yao Ling's home could not accommodate so many people. When they came to the house for dinner, Wang Liang and Zhang Wei accompanied Yao's father to drink a few glasses. The two of them drank too much and almost talked nonsense and revealed their business affairs. You have to know that this is not popular these days.

When sending them back to the guesthouse, the two of them gave them a few words of advice, telling them not to drink too much when they went out drinking together in the future, at least not to drink during the next few years in college, and not to tell anyone about it, as it could be fatal if someone caught them.

The two were frightened by what they heard, and their elated hearts calmed down again. They had been a little restless during this period. The next day, they accompanied Zhang Wei to the school to handle the admission procedures, then it was Jiang Yue, and finally Wang Shiliang and Yao Ling. They were in the same school, so they had someone to take care of them.

The four of them all live on campus. Although Yao Ling's home is here, she doesn't plan to go home every day. She only needs to go back for one day on the weekend.

Jiang Yue was a history major. There were only about 60 students in her class. The dormitory was not big, and most of the space was taken up by stacked beds. There was a space from bottom to top in the corner for luggage. Girls had few belongings these days, so each of them had a long, flat suitcase.

The better ones were made of artificial leather and had shiny silver-white nails and buckles, while the worse ones were just bags made of coarse cloth. It wasn't very crowded. When Jiang Yue arrived, there were already five people living there. These five people had already introduced themselves, and Jiang Yue had a good memory so he remembered everything.

Maybe because they just met, the six people were not very familiar with each other and did not talk much. Everyone was reading. Jiang Yue looked at the time, then looked at the empty kettle, and prepared to get a kettle of hot water. When he left, he casually asked, "Is there anyone who wants to get hot water together?"

"Yes, wait, let's go together."

As soon as Jiang Yue opened her mouth, someone responded. Three people each carried a kettle to fetch water. Maybe because there were fewer people, everyone relaxed a little and started chatting. By the time they returned to the dormitory, they had become familiar with each other. When they returned to the dormitory after dinner in the evening, they could basically call out each other's names.

Everyone got up very early the next day to read. Since school had not officially started yet, we had to rush to the library to grab a seat every day. If we went late, there would be no seats left. Those who didn't have a seat could only read in the dormitory. Without that atmosphere, the learning efficiency was naturally much slower.
