When Jiaojiao heard this, she imdiately looked towards the door and saw a middle-aged woman, around forty years old, standing there, carrying a large burlap bag on her shoulder. She was looking at them with a hint of surprise, as if she was considering whether she had walked into the wrong place.
The Ruanlin family imdiately walked over and enthusiastically said, "Big sister, no, no, we’re all here to see our kids off, right?"
Jiaojiao also looked at the girl next to the middle-aged woman.
The girl looked eighteen or nineteen, with her hair in a big braid. Though her clothes were a bit worn, they were tidy and clean. Her eyes carried a hint of shyness as she glanced at them briefly before lowering her gaze, as if she didn’t dare to take a second look.
On the contrary, the middle-aged woman started talking with the Ruanlin family and within a few minutes, they had figured out each other’s situations.
The girl’s na was Cao Qiu, nineteen years old. She, too, was a freshman this year, but she wasn’t in the sa departnt as Jiaojiao; she was in the Business Managent departnt.
The girl probably rarely interacted with people outside, so she was a bit shy. These introductions were made by the middle-aged woman, who was her aunt.
Jiaojiao thought about possibly living with her for the next four years and, since the girl was shy and introverted, she took the initiative to introduce herself: "Hi, I’m Ruan Jiaojiao, from the Foreign Languages departnt."
"Hi, hi." The girl lifted her eyes to look at her, with a trace of amazent in her eyes, and for so reason, her face suddenly turned red.
Cao Qiu’s family wasn’t well-off, and her tuition was covered by the city and county’s scholarship for getting into university. Her parents didn’t co to see her off, just to save on travel expenses. Instead, her aunt working in Beidu was the one who brought her.
Her first ti entering the city, and it was the Capital City, made her feel that everything was beautiful: the school was beautiful, the cars were beautiful, the roads were beautiful, and surely the most beautiful were the young girls right in front of her who looked particularly small.
She felt that the whole family looked nice, like the celebrities she once saw on TV at her second aunt’s house.
Jiaojiao ca over to greet her proactively, making her feel flattered, her face blushing uncontrollably.
Jiaojiao saw how reserved she seed, smiled a bit more, and then returned to Ruan Hao and the others. The Ruanlin family continued chatting with her aunt intermittently while making the bed for Jiaojiao. Ruan Jianguo looked at the dirty table and picked up a basin from the floor, planning to get so water, only to find that the bathroom had nothing but a hole, and the faucet was welded shut and couldn’t produce water.
"Why is this thing welded shut?" Ruan Jianguo muttered.
Ruan Hao said from the side, "You have to get water from the dormitory’s water room at the end, dormitory doesn’t have running water."
Ruan Jianguo could only pick up a bucket, intending to go to the water room to fetch a bucket of water, but Jiaojiao, recalling Aunt Cao Qiu’s startled look when she saw him, imdiately said: "I’ll go, I’ll go."
"Sweetie, it’s too hot, you sit here, I’ll take care of these things," Ruan Jianguo imdiately said, seeing Jiaojiao looking at him eagerly, not knowing what she was thinking, he added: "Sweetie, don’t worry, Dad’s not tired."
"..." Jiaojiao.
She was embarrassed to tell him, she just didn’t want to scare others.
She didn’t bother to explain, grabbed the bucket, and walked outside. Duan Xi imdiately set down what he was doing and followed her.
Shu Jiao was clearing out Jiaojiao’s cabinet, and seeing this said: "It’s alright, let her do it herself, we won’t be able to be by her side every day, letting her get accustod is good."
