Chapter 617： decline to strike up a conversation

Chapter 617 Refused to strike up a conversation

"Shao Mo, I didn't realize that you are quite considerate."

While queuing up, Zhong Xiaochen pulled Yunmo and whispered, "Your family conditions should be pretty good. I thought that a person like you would be more proud and wouldn't come to a cafeteria to eat."

"Why do you say that?"

"Don't you know? The first cafeteria is a well-known canteen for poverty alleviation. Most of the people who eat in the first cafeteria are poor students who have no money."

Seeing that Yunmo didn't speak, Zhong Xiaochen quickly explained: "I don't mean to look down on anyone, but I feel that you rich girls with good backgrounds will save face and feel ashamed to eat in a cafeteria."

"What about you, don't you feel ashamed?"

"Of course I won't. My family's conditions are average, and my parents are ordinary workers. When I was young, in order to save money, my parents would beat a little more for meals in the factory, and take the rest home at night to make up for a meal. I It’s been like this since I was a kid.”

Yun Mo smiled, "Everyone is similar."

"Ah, are your parents also workers?"

"My mother used to live in the countryside, but only moved to the city in the past two years. My father runs his own business."

"Oh, I see."

Yunmo didn't ask what the other party understood, and turned to other topics.

After lunch, the two female students went back to the dormitory to rest, while Yun Mo and Zhong Xiaochen went to the library to read books to pass the time.

On the way to the library, I saw a public phone booth. Yunmo asked Zhong Xiaochen to go to the library to find a place first, and she made a phone call with Huang Zhiqiu and Shao Lin each to report on the first day of class.

After finishing the call, Yunmo stared at the phone for a while, then dropped another fifty cents coin, and dialed the number of the courtyard.

It was Yao Suhua who answered the call, hearing her voice, Yao Suhua immediately knew: "Xiao Ling is washing dishes in the kitchen, I'll call him."

"Well, thank you, Aunt Yao."

Hearing Yao Suhua's laughter on the other end of the phone, Yunmo's cheeks slightly warmed up.

"Hello, daughter-in-law? Have you had lunch yet?"

"Eat, there is nothing to do, just call to tell you that I am doing well at school."

"That's good, did you eat in the cafeteria? Does the food suit your taste?"

"It's average, it's far worse than your cooking."

Hearing this, Ling Chuan couldn't help grinning, and even his voice became more gentle, "Then I'll cook dinner early in the afternoon and wait for you to come back. What do you want to eat?"

"Whatever, you look at the arrangement, well, it's time, I won't tell you more, goodbye."

"Um."

After Yunmo hung up the phone and came out of the phone booth, she found a small queue outside the phone booth.

These days, the only means of communication other than telegrams and letters is the telephone. Although there are many public telephone booths on the campus of Peking University, they cannot support the large number of teachers and students in Peking University, so noon and afternoon school are the peak periods for using telephones.

Yunmo made three phone calls in one go, causing other people who wanted to use the phone to wait.

"Sorry, I took up everyone's time."

Waiting in the sun, the mood is inevitably irritable, but seeing Yunmo is so beautiful and polite, the anger in everyone's hearts suddenly dropped by more than half.

"It's okay, first come, first served." The boy who ranked first replied.

Yunmo nodded to the other party, then turned and walked towards the library.

"Hey, do you still use the phone?"

It wasn't until the people behind urged that the boy in the first row recovered from Yunmo's slender back, and hurriedly walked into the phone booth with a blushing face.

Because of the lunch break, there were not many people in the library, so Yunmo easily found Zhong Xiaochen who had a good seat.

Zhong Xiaochen was reading biology textbooks, while Yun Mo casually picked up famous books from home and abroad.

"Shao Mo, you are reading the original, can you understand it?"

Facing Zhong Xiaochen's astonishment, Yunmo suddenly realized that her behavior seemed to be a bit of a show of skill.

Although the students who can enter Peking University are all the golden spires of various schools, but because of the different environment and teaching methods, the English level of most of them only stays in situational dialogues and short essays, which is far below Ability to read original English texts fluently.

"I can only understand the general idea, and I'm learning while watching."

Zhong Xiaochen nodded understandingly, "You work so hard, you should have a good English score, right?"

"is acceptable."

"I really envy you. My English is not good. I only scored more than 120 points in the college entrance examination. Can I ask you for English lessons in the future?"

"Can."

Seeing that Zhong Xiaochen really wanted to learn English well with an open mind, Yunmo offered her some suggestions to him without hesitation.

"Learning English is actually not difficult. You can take it as a part of your daily life, such as listening to English radio stations or English poetry every day, and reading more English newspapers. Over time, your English ability will definitely improve."

"Okay, I'll try, thank you."

"You're welcome."

The afternoon is mainly for class meetings and copying the schedule of this semester, and then you can get the textbooks and go home.

Before school, the monitor announced that a class activity will be held this weekend. As for the content of the activity, the choice will be between autumn outing and mountain climbing.

Getting the textbooks stumped Yunmo. More than a dozen textbooks are as thick as four or five bricks when stacked together.

It is impossible to put it in the space where everyone is watching. When she was in trouble, a boy of medium stature walked up to her and enthusiastically wanted to help her carry the book.

Yunmo saw at a glance that the other party's enthusiasm had a purpose, so she directly declined.

"No, thank you, my partner will come to pick me up."

Hearing that she had a partner, the boy was taken aback for a moment, and then left in a embarrassed manner.

In order to avoid any more male students coming to strike up a conversation, Yunmo hurriedly left the academic building with the book in her arms and entered a female toilet.

In the cubicle of the toilet, Yunmo put the book into the space, then took some thick clothes from the space and put them into the backpack, making the illusion that the books were in the backpack, and then rode home on the bicycle with the bulging backpack on her back.

Back to the small courtyard, Ling Chuan was cooking dinner in the kitchen, Yao Suhua didn't know where to go, and she wasn't at home.

Yunmo went to the study first, took out the textbooks in the space, put them on the desk, and then went to the kitchen.

"Daughter-in-law, did you leave school so early?"

In the kitchen, Ling Chuan was cooking with his apron tied on, when he saw her face was filled with joy.

"Well, I don't have any classes today. After school is early, what's for dinner?"

Yunmo walked to the stove with her hands behind her back as she spoke, leaning forward to look into the pot.

"There are sweet and sour pork tenderloin, stir-fried shrimp, and pickled cucumbers. If Aunt Yao and Zeng Fang don't go home to eat, I only cook three dishes."

"Three is enough for us."

Yunmo took the prepared dishes to the dining table outside, then picked a watermelon from the space, cut it in half and put it in the refrigerator, ready to be used as after-dinner fruit.
