Chapter 41
Su Fei and Ningning are now basically living the kind of life that everyone likes: well-fed and idle.
“Ningning, fry less meatballs and meat. It’s too greasy, and I don’t feel like eating it. I want some vegetables,” Su Fei said, feeling overwhelmed by the smell of meat and oil.
Ningning fried the meatballs and other meats while also frying other items like meat for storage, as they didn’t have a refrigerator at home. Frying them would make them last longer.
“I think you’re full to the point of not wanting to eat meat,” Ningning said as he fried the meat, but he still bought a lot of vegetables.
However, there are basically no other vegetables in winter except for cabbage, potatoes, and radishes. If they want any, they have to be greenhouse-grown, which is currently very expensive.
“In the future, stay away from the people from the Zhang family. They’re not good company. Today, they came over and told me how wealthy their family used to be, how all the houses here used to belong to them, and now they’ve fallen, but they will definitely rise again…” Su Fei sat at home, listening to the eldest sister from the Zhang family come over and brag.
“And then she asked what we do for a living, whether we’re interested in joining her, saying that our lives seem to be going well. Can you believe how shameless she is?” Su Fei shook her head, feeling that the eldest sister from the Zhang family was unreasonable.
They weren’t even familiar with each other, yet she kept acting so pretentious, thinking she was so great. Su Fei wanted to tell her how to make money, just to save face.
Ningning also felt that the people from the Zhang family were no good. When she cooked, the children from the Zhang family would sit here and refuse to leave.
If they didn’t give the children food, they would be criticized for being inconsiderate adults, but if they did give them food, the children would act like they were entitled and keep hanging around.
“So, what did you say? Let me tell you about today…” Ningning also had a lot to complain about. He felt that these people were particularly shameless and didn’t seem like they had ever been wealthy.
Su Fei got excited and sat up. “I told her, ‘Look at you now, trying to learn from me even though you’re in this state. Have you even gone back to school yet? I’m doing this work, and only those who graduate from Beijing University can do it!’ I totally shut down the eldest sister from the Zhang family. You can’t let the Zhang family kids take advantage of us. What did you do, give them food?”
Ningning nodded seriously, thinking to himself that Su Fei was good at coming up with ideas. “You guessed right. Luckily, the eldest brother from the Zhu family told me that a few kids from the Zhang family were loitering outside our door at noon! Luckily, we weren’t home for lunch.”
Su Fei and Ningning also complained helplessly at home. That’s just how life is, talking about trivial matters. They couldn’t escape the trivialities of daily life. They complained about others in all seriousness while doing their chores.
It must be said that life in the city is much more convenient than in the countryside, whether it’s in terms of living or transportation.
“After the New Year, I’ll be starting school again. Is there anywhere you still want to go? Shall we go out for roast duck or tripe again? Or maybe some traditional snacks…” Su Fei couldn’t really save money with the little she had.
Fortunately, her pocket money was limited, and most of the money she earned went to Ningning.
“Okay, buy some vegetables. Go quickly,” Ningning said to Su Fei while starting to cook on the gas stove, learning his new skill.
Su Fei went out shopping again, and soon, the children from the courtyard were piled up at her door, smelling the delicious food. They sat at the door, blocking the entrance.
“Kids, move aside! Your mom is calling you home for dinner.”
After saying that, Su Fei went inside without looking at their pitiful eyes. Normal children wouldn’t act like this. The children from the Zhu family across the street, when they met someone, would greet them and ask for permission before taking anything. If the parents said it was okay, they would take it.
The children from the Zhang family went hungry that day, and they realized they had offended the Su family. After buying snacks, they never asked the children from their family again, nor did they send any food to the Su family.
Su Fei and Ningning remained calm, living their own lives. Soon, the New Year passed, and they became good neighbors with the Zhu family.
After the New Year, Su Fei faced the imminent start of the new semester. As the first batch of students admitted to Beijing University, of course, they had six months less learning time than others. But their workload was still the same.
The professors at the university were all recently promoted, and they knew that the country was currently lacking all kinds of top-notch and middle-tier talent. So, they placed all their hopes on these students.
As the first batch of university students, many of them were students who had been sent down to the countryside. Their thirst for knowledge exceeded everyone’s expectations. So, both teachers and students were eager to learn, creating a very strong learning atmosphere.
Su Fei originally thought that she could relax at university, but she didn’t expect the academic pressure to be even heavier.
“I… I need consolation!” Su Fei hugged Ningning and sought comfort.
Ningning felt unwell these days and went to the hospital for a check-up. Because he understood very well that he had to maintain good health in order not to be taken advantage of by a third party.
“Oh, I have something to tell you. Don’t pass out after hearing it,” Ningning said cautiously to Su Fei.
What major event could make her pass out? Su Fei could overcome even the act of transmigrating, let alone other things.
She waved her hand confidently and said, “You can be sure I won’t pass out from what you say!”
