Basile's accent reminded them of the dishes in northeast part of China, which they would like to have a taste.
Fortunately, there was a restaurant of northeast taste in the Jinbao street not far away.
The seven students were sitting around the big table. Ye Dong was in charge of ordering.
As a big fellow from northeast part of China, he had a voice most on the dishes of his home town.
They lost their reserved manners as soon as the dishes were served. The girl of student's union was surprised at the scene.
"Eh, you, Qin Guan. Return me the sour and sweet pork to me! You are so greedy! Loose your sticks." w.a.n.g Lei and Qin Guan were fighting for a piece of sour and sweet pork.
"Ye Dong, will you eat the table with a handful of c.u.min? Don't blame me for disgusting. Dare you eat the last stick of blood sausage? f.u.c.k, you really eat it. If Ma Yun [1] asks you to give you ten million yuan in case that you eat s.h.i.+t, you'll eat until he go bankrupt."
"For a blood sausage, Liu Xiaoyang put s.h.i.+t onto the dining table."
The girl covered her face without a word. Mu Lejiang and Li Jie were reciting poems at other side of table.
They combined sentences from traditional Chinese poems and name of dishes together, which were good jokes for others.
What talented people! They made poems even for food!
The roommates of Ye Dong's dormitory are quite imitating. The girl stolen a glance at Ye Dong. He looks so bold, a good man indeed. She was blushed slightly.
Congratulations on Ye Dong, who got a girl's heart unconsciously.
As an expert of love affairs, Li Jie discovered it at one glance.
Actually, Ye Dong had some feelings about the girl. They were both in the society of public relations, one of whom was in charge of internal affairs, while the other arranged the external affairs.
They met with each other at work. At that time, Ye Dong initiatively asked her to be together for the activity.
The most important reason lied in her hometown. She also came from the northeast part of China. But Ye Dong won't confess his wicked intention. The girl's height goes well with me.
Generally speaking, people of northeast China were tall. Ye Dong was of 190 cm, who matched well with Yang Jing with the height of 170 cm.
Yang Jing was the name of the girl. Her name was elegant and silent, while she was quite rash and too much in haste.
Ye Dong was obsessed with her. For a long time Ye Dong often mentioned her in his dormitory, "Eh, you know, today Yang Jing..."
His roommates' ears were filled with her name. Finally, they met her personally that day.
Li Jin found the scene was hopeful for Ye Dong.
He continued to stir up, "Eldest brother, why don't you present Yang Jing with a cup of tea? The little girl worked for us today. We should thank her for her effort."
Ye Dong was heavily blushed. His face was nearly purple.
Ye Dong, pushed by others, walked to Yang Jing with his hand and foot of the same side. He took the white tea pot to pour a cup of tea for Yang Jing, who was also ashamed. She took a sip.
The others were shouting, "Cross-cupped tea, cross-cupped tea."
Yang Jing's face was nearly buried under the table. Ye Dong rushed to beat them.
There was a mess on the table, while the atmosphere was quite good. The hanging moon was so ashamed to be together with such shameless guys that it furtively hid behind dark clouds.
The seven persons, with shabby backpack, were on their way back to college threading on the light of lamps. Their stomachs were filled with northeast dishes, which made everything warm.
The conflict with Cowboy nation was finished with much cry and little done. For college students, it was small adjustment in their lives. Their main task was exam.
Several subjects were finished in advance before the summer vacation. The tutor knocked on the name list to revealed his dangerous intention with subtle smile.
The attendance rate of ordinary time unexpectedly took 25% of the final score, which made his cla.s.s in an uproar.
Someone was happy while someone worried. Qin Guan and w.a.n.g Lei were calm, who were on the way to straight-A students.
Some cla.s.smates who made efforts at the last moment surrounded w.a.n.g Lei to ask for his notebook for copying. Taking the chance, Qin Guan sneaked away.
If they saw Qin Guan's note, they might beat him to death.
There was only outline for the subject on Qin Guan's notebook. The whole course had already finished and he had taken only one page of note.
With such a note book could he get full scholars.h.i.+p? No one would believe. Qin Guan had to run away with his note.
Sister Xue's call arrived when he just entered the dormitory. She found a job for Qin Guan. It was for a mini car exhibition. The model had to stand for a whole day. The payment was just so-so, which was 1500 yuan.
But it was difficult for her. Qin Guan received jobs only in weekends. He had to take training courses and taught a girl student in the evenings.
Teacher Li forced her to serve only for Qin Guan. She had to get all the possible jobs, or she would starve.
Qin Guan had no idea of her bitterness. He thought it was quite a good job with 1000 yuan per day. Since the Spring Festival, he had made nearly 10000 yuan.
Qin Guan read the short message and called Cong Nianwei to ask her if she would like to pay a visit.
He got through. Five minutes later his hand was hanging down. Cong Nianwei was busy. He was abandoned relentlessly again.
Take it easy, he said to himself. But on the day of car exhibition, Qin Guan was in worse mood.
He got double attack in both physical and emotional level, which made him withered.
Weizi paid no attention to me. The bus arrived at the terminal stop. Standing on the yellow ground as far as my eyes can reach, where I can find the inexplicable exhibition?
He couldn't get through with Sister Xue.
Qin Guan was looking around blankly when a tricycle suddenly appeared like a G.o.d descending from heaven to the earth.
The driver smiled warmly to Qin Guan with his open mouth and large front teeth, "Young man, where are you going?"
The Saviour! Qin guan asked him immediately, "How can I get to the Manyoufu Garage?"
"Is that the one of Siyuanqiao Market for Automobile Accessories?"
Qin Guan nodded, "Exactly." The uncle made a gesture of "five" to him, "I'll send you there for five yuan."
Qin Guan pressed two of his fingers down, "Three yuan, we go immediately."
The uncle was surprised, "You know the business. Fine, get on my tricycle."
