The roommates in the dormitory had already gone to bed.

Xue Sufen was telling everyone about her travels with her aunt, who was in the army, making everyone envious.

Li Qiao poured water to wash up and was coming back from the washbasin when—

Xue Sufen said, "Li Qiao, have you ever been there? Seen anything of the world?"

Cheng Shuqin: "What could Li Qiao, a country bumpkin, have seen? Nothing but from the head to the tail of his village. Fiddling with the family’s scant plot of land."

Li Qiao: "The countryside is rich with poetic pastoral scenery; in the summer, fireflies dot the reed marshes, both romantic and beautiful. When there’s no meat to eat at home, we’d go fishing in the river or climb trees for bird’s eggs, a hundred times happier than in the city."

"If the countryside’s so beautiful and happy, why didn’t you stay?" Cheng Shuqin said, "Still romantic, when you can scarcely fill your belly? Romantic my ass! If you’re so capable, why come to the city for college?"

Li Qiao snapped back, "What’s it to you?"

Cheng Shuqin played innocent: "It was you who said the countryside was happy."
