Chapter 703: Taking Foreign Languages
Tian Baozhu then helped Zhang Ran clean up.
Zhang Ran was not polite and assigned her a job of wiping the table. She was quite happy about it.
After cleaning up, it was time for lunch, so Tian Baozhu suggested that they go out to find something to eat and get familiar with the university environment so that they wouldn't be unable to find their classes when school starts tomorrow.
No one rejected this proposal and it was passed unanimously.
We locked the dormitory door and went out together. We first walked out of the campus and walked around the nearby streets for a long time. Finally, we chose a place selling boxed lunches and ordered one each.
After dinner, we returned to school and walked around the campus for more than an hour to familiarize ourselves with the environment of the entire campus. Then, exhausted, we returned to the dormitory and collapsed on our beds.
In addition to majoring in computer science, Zhang Ran also took elective courses in foreign languages. Apart from attending classes, the place he spent most of his time was the library. Even when he returned to the dormitory, he was reading. He got along well with his roommates, but had the best relationship with the outgoing Tian Baozhu.
After a few days of getting along, Zhang Ran learned that Qiao Xi was from S City, Liu Xia was a local, and Tian Baozhu came from a poor rural area like her, but the rural area where Tian Baozhu lived was more remote, the kind of forest where you would get lost and die once you stepped in, a real primeval forest.
So Tian Baozhu lived a very tight life and she even found a part-time job in a cafeteria.
Zhang Ran likes to get her meals at the window where she works part-time the most, and she always gets much more food than others.
Tian Baozhu ignored other people's complaints and favored Zhang Ran, always giving her lots of meat dishes. When others asked her about it, she confidently said that she was her roommate.
The one-week adaptation life was over quickly. On the day of holiday, everyone in the dormitory was discussing the military training next week and trying on the washed camouflage uniforms.
Zhang Ran is the tallest person in the entire dormitory, and the camouflage uniform fits her perfectly, as if it was tailor-made for her.
Liu Xia and Qiao Xi are about the same height, so the camouflage uniform is a little big for them, but at least they can be worn.
The only exception was Tian Baozhu. Perhaps because of malnutrition since childhood, she was only 1.5 meters tall. She took the smallest size camouflage uniform, but after trying it on, it was like she was stealing adult clothes, especially after unzipping the pants, she could squeeze another person in, it was impossible to wear it.
Tian Baozhu took off her clothes with a sad face and looked at the local Liu Xia, "Liu Xia, do you know where there is a tailor shop? I want to have my clothes altered. They are too big and I can't wear them."
Although Liu Xia is a local, she was spoiled by her parents since she was a child. Her mother took care of her food, clothing, housing and transportation. She didn't even know where there was a tailor shop to alter her clothes.
"Then I'll just wear it. A month will pass quickly anyway." Tian Baozhu comforted herself.
Zhang Ran walked over and held out his hand to her, "Give me the clothes, I'll go home and help you alter them."
"You're going home?" Tian Baozhu looked at her stupidly, "How are you going home?" She remembered that Zhang Ran came from the same countryside as her. Although his home was not as far away as hers, she had to take a train for several days and nights, while Zhang Ran only needed to take a train for more than ten hours. However, two days was not enough for her to go home.
Liu Xia and Qiao Xi also looked at Zhang Ran curiously, waiting for her next words.
Zhang Ran smiled and explained: "I just bought a house here and haven't decorated it yet. I'll invite you all to my house when I have time."
The three of them thought she had made a slip of the tongue and that her parents had rented the house to see her studying there.
Tian Baozhu nodded enthusiastically: "Okay, okay." She picked up her clothes and handed them to Zhang Ran, asking curiously: "Do you have a sewing machine at home? Will it be too much trouble for your mother?"
