Chapters 795-796
Zhang Yan came out of the room and was going to go to the toilet and was going to sleep, tomorrow was the first day of class, she didn't want to be late and leave a bad impression on the professor, although she didn't know if she could sleep, but she could always fall asleep by lying on the bed and counting sheep.
Just when Zhang Yan was about to enter the toilet, she saw a figure walking up from downstairs, she thought to herself that it was already eleven o'clock, and the family was frightened by their respective book lists, and after dinner, she went upstairs and went back to the room early to flip the book, and rested, isn't there no one downstairs for a long time, how can anyone come up, she just wanted to call someone, and then she saw that it was Qiqi, "Qiqi, didn't you say that you want to review your homework?" β
Zhang Yanke heard Qiqi muttering that she wanted to restore the fine traditions of elementary school, and she had to preview and review her homework every day, saying that she would not be very panicked when she was about to take the exam, why was she downstairs with kung fu, could it be that someone was hungry? But that's not right, no matter how hungry Kiki is, she doesn't have the habit of eating supper.
"Tomorrow they're both coming back for breakfast." Wang Qiqi thought to herself that we had really become cooks, and when she received a message from someone, she immediately rushed down to make preparations.
Breakfast, or two people, "Then Lao Feng will be here with us tomorrow?" Zhang Yan said in surprise, it's impossible to have breakfast and then go back to the hotel, so wouldn't Qiqi have to prepare lunch?
Wang Qiqi snorted, "So I'm going to prepare lunch for a few people tomorrow." "Today, Zhao Rongrong and Shi Hongrui tasted their school lunch, the evaluation is that the thing is good, but the price is also the price, try it occasionally, although I didn't say that I want to bring rice, but Wang Qiqi thought to herself, let's bring a few more rice, by the way, just do more, plus this cost is also shared by everyone, if we don't bring rice, forget it, "I'll get some sushi tomorrow." It's a hot day, and Wang Qiqi is worried that making rice bowls will cause accidents, "Or I'll get some cold noodles." "This thing shouldn't break.
Cold noodles. Zhang Yan is a northerner, although she also likes rice, but her love for noodles is even more than rice, "Then eat cold noodles," she suddenly remembered that it was not easy to make cold noodles, it was quite a waste of time, "Isn't it a little troublesome." β
It is said that eating cold noodles is very troublesome, the focus is to make the noodles cold, Zhang Yan remembers that every time she eats cold noodles, the family starts to prepare early, to boil boiled water and then let it cool. And now Kiki also had a sudden thought, wouldn't she have to get up in the early morning to get busy? "Or I'll go boil the water now, and you can get up later tomorrow."
Wang Qiqi was frightened by Zhang Yan's action of rushing downstairs, and then heard that she was going to boil water, "Don't worry, the tap water here is still very safe, you can directly enter it, I plan to flush it directly tomorrow." "Of course, it's much more convenient, if it weren't. Wang Qiqi is not happy to make any cold noodles, although it is good to eat it once in a while, but if you make it yourself, of course, how simple it is.
Flush with tap water? Zhang Yan was startled by Wang Qiqi's words, she just wanted to say that it was unhygienic. But when I think about it, the water here is still quite clean, plus there is a water purification system, "That's too, I'm my hometown." β
Wang Qiqi patted Zhang Yan on the shoulder. "Don't worry, I'll eat it too." We can't let ourselves eat unclean things, do we, and the cost of medicine abroad is very expensive. "It's not early. Go to sleep. Basically, Zhang Yan should be sleeping at this point, and now she is still thinking about going to the toilet, so she knows how nervous this girl is, "There is still some milk downstairs, drink some milk and then sleep." Although milk is very helpful for sleep, Wang Qiqi doesn't know if it is because she drinks too much coffee and green tea or because milk doesn't have that effect, in short, at a certain point in time, she can always fall asleep.
As soon as Zhang Yan heard about drinking milk, her mouth moved and she wanted to say that when she came over a few days ago, she couldn't sleep and drank milk, but it didn't have any effect at all, but drinking more milk should also be good for the body, "Thank you." β
Although the process of making cold noodles has been simplified for Wang Qiqi, the lunch for five people and someone's lunch is enough for Wang Qiqi to order noodles for a long time, thanks to Wang Qiqi hoarding some noodles at home some time ago just to be hungry and have something to eat in the middle of the night, "Thanks to the large stock at the beginning." Wang Qiqi looked at the noodles that had been swept away for herself, and then looked at the cold noodles that had been spread on the cooking table waiting for the half-dry, wiped a handful of sweat, and had only one thought in her heart, you can't mention the idea of eating cold noodles in the future.
Shi Hongrui rubbed her eyes and slowly shook into the kitchen with a big schoolbag on her back, just about to ask what she had for breakfast today, when she saw a pile of cooked noodles, "We won't have cold noodles for breakfast." "It's okay to eat cold noodles on this day, but this amount makes Shi Hongrui a little inaccurate, a little too much for breakfast, and a little less for lunch.
"Lunch, you see how much you can eat, the rest of what we take away is the man's lunch." Wang Qiqi knew that Lao Feng should have come here to see how the stock market was doing, and it was always inconvenient to be in the hotel and there was no Internet, which was a bit inconvenient for him.
And Shi Man's lunch? Shi Hongrui looked at Wang Qiqi in surprise, he came over early in the morning, did he want to stay here for a day? "I'll hang out the clothes, and I'll help collect them when the time comes, will you do it?"
Wang Qiqi originally thought that Shi Hongrui would say that a big man is at home alone, isn't it a little bad, but she didn't expect her to think of this, let Comrade Feng Xuanxiang collect the clothes this ......, Wang Qiqi thought that it would be okay to have a coat or something, but if it was underwear, Lao Feng's face was expected to be black, Wang Qiqi thought about it or dispel someone's opinion.
Zhao Rongrong heard Shi Hongrui's words in the back, looked at Qiqi's face again, and walked quickly to Shi Hongrui's side, "Comrade Lao Feng has something to do here, and will help you collect your clothes." "Lao Feng is not a useless man, and people also took the time to accompany Shi Man, but he didn't come to do housework.
"That's it, let him collect the clothes, it's better to ask someone to invite us to a good meal." Wang Qiqi recalled the things that Feng Xuanxiang invited that day, she was really curious about how Feng Xuanxiang would know that the things in the store were good, and the faΓ§ade of the road was not very big, if it wasn't for someone to take it, Wang Qiqi would really miss it, although the price was not very cheap, but the price was really good compared to the food.
Eating stewed well, Shi Hongrui's eyes lit up when she heard Qiqi say this, "Yes, yes, it's better to eat, although that time the food was good." But it's better to have a different place for a treat. "This can change the taste, although Kiki's food is good, but Shi Hongrui still wants to change the taste a little.
"Who's going to have a treat." Zhang Yan walked over with a yawn and a look of not sleeping enough, and said very strangely, "Qiqi, will your man pass through here when he goes back?" "Didn't you go back to the United States directly last time, but Lao Feng has already invited me, and the rest, including myself, either don't have a boyfriend or my boyfriend is not here, and I can't invite you if you want to have a treat.
"We want Lao Feng to have another treat." Wang Qiqi thought to herself that it would be better if her man passed by here, "He will fly back in about ten hours." "Alas, my own man is obviously a technical otaku. I also have to face the problem of business trips, but fortunately, I still discussed it with a group of otaku elites, otherwise Wang Qiqi was really worried that Han Tao, an otaku, would not get out.
Lao Feng has a treat? Zhang Yan wanted to say how to let Lao Feng have a treat, didn't he just invite her, but she saw that Qiqi and Shi Hongrui were in a good mood, so she didn't mention this, "Isn't the noodles going to be good, by the way, Qiqi." I think about it, we probably don't have lunch boxes. "You can't just put the noodles in a plastic bag and eat them, isn't that a little ugly?
Everyone including Wang Qiqi was dumbfounded, right. The meal was there, but they forgot the most important thing, the lunch box, "Ah, what can I do?" Shi Hongrui called out first. She didn't want to spend a lot of money on lunch at noon, because she knew that there would be more places to spend money in the future, and she would have to buy goods or something. Shi Hongrui thought that it was a point to be able to save a point. "I don't know if the supermarket outside the road has opened."
"There won't be a lunch box when you open the door." Zhang Yan doesn't know a lot about the supermarkets near the community, but at least she knows that there is absolutely no such thing as a lunch box in Ludao, but I don't know if there is anything in the Chinese supermarket in Ludao.
Wang Qiqi was discussing whether to buy lunch boxes, she kept rummaging in the cupboard with her head down, for her it is not the point whether there will be lunch boxes sold in supermarkets outside, the focus is to run out of the box to buy and then come back to load, maybe it will delay time, "Let's use the microwave box first." Wang Qiqi flipped through it for a while and found that only this box is suitable for everyone to bring food, "In the past few days, everyone will make do with it, and when we go to the supermarket on the weekend to make purchases, let's take a look." Even if there is no supermarket, Wang Qiqi estimates that there must be a grocery store on that street.
Although it is not a lunch box, but after all, there is a lid, of course everyone has no opinion, everyone around the cooking table is packed lunch according to their own appetite, and Wang Qiqi put the seasoning into the food bag. "Remember to bring chopsticks." Wang Qiqi advised, and then began to pretend to have lunch between herself and Shi Man.
"Tomorrow, I'll start bringing curry potato beef rice, maybe a few days, you guys prepare your mind." After working for so long, Wang Qiqi felt that she still had to save effort, and whether they were satisfied with her proposal was not within Qiqi's consideration.
Shi Hongrui heard that the lunch in the next few days would be that dish, she just wanted to protest one or two, but she didn't have the courage, after all, Qiqi also ate this, if Qiqi started to be ruthless and didn't make lunch, wouldn't she be the loser? Forget it, the curry is not bad anyway.
"Kiki, what do you do, what do we eat." Zhang Yan's requirements for eating are not very high, and besides, she doesn't have the qualifications to ask for this or that, "it's just dinner......" can't be troublesome.
"Don't worry, it won't be like this for dinner." Wang Qiqi doesn't want to become an Indian, she is curry curry all day long, and Wang Qiqi is also worried that if she eats too much curry, her skin will turn yellow, although we want to tan it into wheat color, but there is a lot of distance between wheat and yellow. "Dinner time to be determined, content to be determined, how many dishes to be determined." However, Wang Qiqi has already thought about it, meat and other things can be cooked more on weekends, or stewed meat after dinner while reviewing homework or chatting in the living room, so that the next day only needs to get a few vegetables.
There were so many to be determined, but at least they knew that the content of the dinner would not be bad.
In this way, everyone began their graduate study careers, and although Zhang Yan and the three of them had arrived in the UK in advance, their English skills were also good, but after they took classes, they found that the gap was not a little bit.
Shi Hongrui nested on the floor of the living room, constantly moving around on the textbooks and notes, holding a pen in one hand, rubbing her hair with the other, muttering something in her mouth, and people who didn't know the way thought she was memorizing her homework.
Zhao Rongrong was also staring at the book with a confused face, as for how much she looked in, it was really what she knew, especially the constant nagging of someone on the side. made her head really swollen, "I said Rui Rui, can you stop your chanting, you have grievances, and I have too." "Originally, I was irritable enough, but someone on the side kept chattering, so that people really couldn't calm down, and people couldn't meditate, how to read the content in the textbook.
Shi Hongrui suppressed the chanting and let out a long sigh, "I think I'm here for graduate school." Am I wrong. "In China, the pressure will not be so great at all, you can study in a familiar environment, instead of leaving your hometown to come here, although Rong Rong is here, but many things are really unfamiliar, listening to the language that you don't understand and need to understand, Shi Hongrui can comfort herself as an experience, but when she listens to the class like a fool, she really wants to cry.
As soon as these words came out. The living room was very quiet for a while, and after a while, Zhao Rongrong let out a long sigh, "What if we regret it now?" "It's impossible to go back. Let's not talk about going back, do you want to re-read your books, wait for the graduate school entrance examination at the beginning of the year, or find a job, even if your parents can accept that we spent so much money and returned to China without getting anything, but don't those relatives at home have broken their mouths? Zhao Rongrong can estimate how those relatives at home will be if she returns to China like this, or how you will be said behind your back or in front of you.
"yes. What's the use of regretting. "Shi Hongrui has no way to imagine that she will return to China like this, how will her parents view her, didn't she say that she can only move forward and have no way back." Alas, let's read a book. "Although we have encountered some problems, as long as we have faith, we can still overcome these difficulties.
Zhang Yan looked at the book, looked up at Zhang Yan and Shi Hongrui, and found that Zhang Yan's gaze turned out to be Qingming's gaze, "Yanyan, can you understand what the professor said?" "Although there are many contents in the books, there are also some professors' own opinions, although their opinions are not accurate answers in the exam, but at least they will open up a new way of thinking.
Zhang Yan raised her head, looked away from the book, and shook her head at Zhao Rongrong, "The teacher said it too fast, and I didn't hear it very clearly." Alas, although Zhang Yan was prepared, and Qiqi exchanged a few words with the professor on the day of the report, because the professor's speed of speech was not very fast at that time, Zhang Yan also understood, so she was still very confident in going to school, but she didn't expect that Zhang Yan would be knocked out in the first class, and Zhang Yan didn't know what she listened to during the whole class, "Thanks to Qiqi's presence." β
Zhao Rongrong and Shi Hongrui sighed at the same time, looked at each other, how did they forget Qiqi, although Qiqi's English is American, but everyone has British English since elementary school, for Qiqi, most of them can understand, and Zhang Yan doesn't have to worry, she can look at Qiqi's notes afterwards, and then she is trying to improve her English listening and speaking skills, and her homework will not be delayed, and they are different, no one will give ready-made notes, after class, either to participate in activities or to go to the library, No one was with them.
"I found it nice to buy second-hand textbooks." Zhang Yan studied Wang Qiqi's textbook and the notes she made for a few days, she could see some of the content, although I don't know who the owner of this textbook was before, and I don't know who Professor Lu Dao is, but what he wrote on it is really very useful, Zhang Yan regretted it a little in her heart, not to mention the cheap price, there is such a big effect, before she was hesitant to buy a second-hand book next time, the price is really tempting, but now Zhang Yan's balance scale is completely reversed to second-hand books.
When Zhao Rongrong and Shi Hongrui understood why Zhang Yan would switch from a firm reason to buy new books to buy second-hand books, "Yes, yes, you should buy second-hand books." β
"Alas, it's misleading." Shi Hongrui's heart hurts, not to mention spending more money, and missing a lot.
Wang Qiqi was cooking in the kitchen and listening to the call of the three of them in the living room, she really wanted to get out of the house and tell them that not all second-hand books are good, but compared to undergraduate books, the textbooks for graduate students should be better, so she stopped her steps and held back the prompt, Qiqi felt that it was better to wait for the time to buy textbooks, in fact, to buy second-hand books, you also have to read a little to see what the content is remembered, such as the textbooks we bought before, Wang Qiqi read several books before deciding, rather than taking it as soon as you see a book on your list.
After Zhang Yan and the three of them discussed it a little, they lowered their heads and continued to review their homework, there was so much time, it was enough to lose if they didn't understand the content of the teacher's class, if they didn't review their homework seriously, they felt that their future days would be very hard, maybe they would stay in the library all day like many people, and take the library as their home.
Wang Qiqi made dinner, waited for a while and found that no one was outside to ask if she could eat, she felt so strange, you must know that every time she cooks by herself, someone will come in from time to time to see if she has done that step in cooking, and don't notify them yourself, they will automatically come over to eat, but today why don't you say that you come in and walk around, even if you don't open your mouth, this makes Wang Qiqi feel very strange.
She washed her hands, walked to the living room to take a look, and found that the three of them were sitting on the ground very seriously reviewing their homework, although judging from the expressions of the three people, the progress was not very good, but at least they were still trying to read, didn't they, "It's time to eat, let's work hard after eating a good meal." Although Qiqi has no problem with listening, and the speed of taking notes can keep up with the professor's speaking speed, but the amount of information is too much, Wang Qiqi found that she had thought of more orders before, and the idea of improving the level of Korean and Japanese was a bit difficult, and although the book list given by the professor was long, there were many books that needed to be purchased, but after taking so many courses, Wang Qiqi understood that relying on those books was not enough, and she had to go to the library to borrow books, and she also understood why the libraries of foreign universities were large and there were many people who borrowed books. Co-authoring can save a lot of money, otherwise if you buy it home, you really have to have gold and silver. "By the way, I'm going to learn to drive after a good meal." Wang Qiqi now regrets a little why not come earlier, otherwise there is no need to spend time on the driver's license test, fortunately, we are also experienced people, once we adapt to the driving direction of the foreigner's car, Wang Qiqi is also very stable, the coach has said that you can take the driver's license test for a while, which makes Wang Qiqi breathe a sigh of relief, not to save money, but to save a lot of money.
Learning to drive? Shi Hongrui suddenly became excited, it's not that she will have a car to sit in class in the future, in fact, she can't rub it, because Qiqi and she are not from the same school, you can borrow the car after you go out to buy things, of course, the premise is that she can drive and get a driver's license, and she can't always let Qiqi drive to pick up, "Then are you going to buy a car in the future." β
"When you get your driver's license, you buy a used car." Although foreign cars are cheaper than those in China, Comrade Shi Man also kept muttering on the side to buy a new car, if in the United States, Wang Qiqi really bought a new car, but now we are in the UK, stay for a year and have to leave, when the car is disposed of, it will lose a lot of money, besides, although we drive well, but after all, the direction of driving is different from that in China, for the sake of safety, or buy a second-hand car to exercise, and then deal with it can be less loss, but someone is so positive?" Why do you want to get a driver's license too? "Also, it's much easier to get a driver's license abroad than at home.
Shi Hongrui couldn't stop nodding, what a godlike thing to drive, I can show off with my classmates when I return to China in the future.
It's a good thing to want to get a driver's license, "Get a driver's license, don't buy a car, I don't have much time to use the car anyway, when I don't use it, you can borrow it." "Wang Qiqi knows that Shi Hongrui uses a car to buy goods or go shopping, and she basically doesn't use it when she goes to school, and there is a direct bus to the school at the door." You can afford the fuel costs. β
"This, of course, of course." Shi Hongrui said happily, she needs to use a car when she goes out to make a big purchase, who will use a car the rest of the time, she can usually walk or bus, save money and protect the environment. (To be continued......)
