As soon as Xu Yin returned to school, she heard from Qian Mingyue that the scholarship list for the previous school year had been announced.
"Yinyin, you have been ranked first in the country and the school."
Xu Yin nodded. The counselor had already sent a message to tell her.
"Don't you have Mingyue too?" Zhao Wenyi poked her head out from the bed curtain and asked with a smile, "When are you going to treat us to dinner?"
"Any time!" Qian Mingyue responded readily, and she was promoted to second class in school.
"But can we discuss it? I bought a new mobile phone at the beginning of school. Living expenses are a bit tight this semester. The scholarship will have to cover my expenses in the next few months. How about we order some stir-fries on the second floor of the Fifth Canteen? ?”
Zhao Wenyi snapped her fingers: "No problem."
Xu Yin thoughtfully said: "Then should I invite you too?"
Not surprisingly, she was able to receive at least two scholarships, totaling over 20,000 yuan.
After receiving a scholarship, it is considered campus culture to treat roommates to dinner. As someone who has been there several times, she understands!
"Oh, haven't you already treated us to dinner?"
On the first weekend of school, I went to her small restaurant to have a meal.
I wanted to go AA, but it turned out that Xu Yin was the one to treat me again.
Xu Yin smiled and said: "That's different. The last time was our dormitory team building."
"Why don't you let us AA during team building?" Qian Mingyue said and couldn't help but pinch Xu Yin's face. "By the way, your skin is getting more and more supple. How do you maintain it? I didn't even look at it. It’s up to you to take care of your skin.”
Zhao Wenyi joked: "Are you falling in love behind our backs? It is said that women in love are particularly beautiful."
"Who? Who is in love?" Zhou Shiwen, who was in the opposite dormitory, poked his head in and asked, "Xu Yin is in love? With whom? Is he from the sports academy? No wonder you are talking about treating guests to dinner, you must invite them! Xu Yin , I am your matchmaker after all, how can I be invited to treat you?"
"..."
Although it was later explained that they were not in love at all, Zhou Shiwen still followed the four of them to have a meal.
"I don't eat for free. I got a third-class meal. If you treat me to a meal, I'll treat you to milk tea."
She was lucky. She copied Xu Yin's notes before the exam, got several big questions right, and won a third-class scholarship.
Milk tea for four people totaled about 180 yuan, which meant she had to pay for her own meal.
On Saturday morning, on the way to the restaurant, Zhou Shiwen pulled Xu Yin and boasted about the boy from the sports academy: "Really! I won't lie to you! He is very handsome! He is 185cm tall and has abdominal muscles that are not eight or six packs. If you don’t believe me, I’ll push his WeChat account to you, and you can look at his fitness photos in his circle of friends… If I didn’t have a boyfriend, I wouldn’t be willing to introduce him to you.”
Xu Yin smiled and shook her head.
Qian Mingyue rolled her eyes: "What's the use of being handsome! The key is to be reliable. The boys in the sports academy are all scumbags..."
"Mingyue, you are looking at people through colored glasses. Where are the scumbags? You can't deny the whole pot of porridge just because of a piece of mouse droppings!"
"What's going on? You still want to drink porridge mixed with rat droppings?"
"..."
Zhou Shiwen choked for a moment and wanted to give himself a slap in the face. What a metaphor!
"No, I mean..."
"Okay." Xu Yin interrupted her, "I have no plans to fall in love in college."
Qian Mingyue suddenly realized: "Yes, yes, you have to study!"
"It's better to have fun studying!" Chen Lu agreed, "Dating is a waste of time and affects study. If you don't like it, you will be heartbroken by the scumbag. If you fail the exam, you have to spend money to retake it. Studying is different. , not only does it not cost money, but it also makes money, look at our Yin Yin, we have five figures in our account right away, it’s so cool! Hehe!”
"Lulu, let's work hard! Try to get a scholarship before graduation. It doesn't matter how long you wait. Let us experience the joy of being a top student."
"Then let's go to the library tomorrow?"
"Ok, Ok."
Zhou Shiwen: "..."
Room 503 is so crazy!
…
"Hey, Xu Yin, why is there so many people in front of your store? Is business so good today?"
While waiting for the traffic light, Qian Mingyue had the sharpest eyes. As soon as she arrived at the traffic light intersection and before she had even crossed the road, she saw the entrance of Xu's Restaurant diagonally opposite, surrounded by people three times inside and three outside.
Xu Yin frowned.
Although there was a distance, she looked at those people not like guests waiting for a table, but more like people joining in the fun.
What happened at the restaurant?
"You guys take your time, I'll go take a look first."
As soon as the light turned green, she quickly crossed the street and ran to her restaurant.
Qian Mingyue and the others looked at each other and quickened their pace.
Seeing that there were more and more people watching, Zhou Meiying spoke more enthusiastically: "Weidong, even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about our daughter! Yin Yin..."
"Are you done yet?"
Father Xu put down the teapot in his hand heavily and looked at his ex-wife with eyes as cold as arrows.
Originally, he didn't want to talk to her. After so many years of divorce, someone he had never contacted once suddenly showed up and said he wanted to remarry him. Why did he think he would agree?
He refused immediately and coldly, thinking that she would ask for trouble and leave. Unexpectedly, she not only refused to leave, but also blocked the door of the store, as if she would stand still if he disagreed.
Fortunately, it was not lunch time yet, so there were not many customers in the store, but there were many pedestrians coming and going at the door. When they saw her wiping her tears while talking, they stopped to help her and watch the excitement.
Zhou Meiying became even more energetic because of this, pouring out tears and tears about how much she had missed her daughter over the years.
It's okay that she didn't mention her daughter, but when she did, Father Xu was filled with anger: She was the one who divorced and didn't want children, and she was the one who ignored her daughter for so many years. How thick-skinned is she to tell such a lie?
Father Xu was just about to get angry when he heard his daughter’s voice——
"Madam, you are hindering our store's business. Please leave. Otherwise, I will call the police." Xu Yin squeezed into the crowd and said coldly.
"You...Yin Yin?"
When Zhou Meiying saw Xu Yin, her eyes were a little dazed, as if she saw herself when she was young.
She was so beautiful back then, so there were many people pursuing her. They picked here and there and finally chose Xu Weidong. Firstly, he had good features and a tall figure. Secondly, his father was a carpenter. At that time, the carpenter contractor made a lot of money. The Xu family He was the first family in the village to build a three-story house.
Unexpectedly, less than two years after getting married, my father-in-law got up early and traveled a long way to make furniture for a family. Due to the slippery road on a rainy day, he rode his bicycle with his apprentice and unfortunately fell down the mountain. The father-in-law died on the spot, and his apprentice fell into a paraplegic state.
The apprentice's family pursued the Xu family for explanation, so Xu Weidong used his family savings to treat the other party's illness. As a result, he owed a lot of debt and had to go out to work.
At that time, she was not yet twenty-five, the age when flowers were in full bloom. How could she endure the loneliness when a man was not at home? After a while, she fell in love with the bachelor at the gambling table... But how can you blame her?
Zhou Meiying still doesn't feel that she is at fault. She can only blame the old Xu family for their bad luck.
