In the blink of an eye, it was time for winter break.
The break started much later than the students had expected, practically right before the New Year, which led to a lot of complaints.
The school gate was packed with parents who had come to pick up their children.
Many students took their boarding luggage home with them.
Xue Rui felt it was unnecessary. The weather in Hedong was so dry that leaving things in the dorm would, at most, just gather a bit of dust.
The students whose parents didn't fuss over them much didn't bother moving their luggage, like Qiu Mengze, Yi Bing, and their group.
In Xue Rui's opinion, these students were much more self-reliant.
The school's facilities were basic, with no place to take a proper shower. They'd just connect a hose in the school's utility room to rinse off. Since their parents weren't too involved, they washed their own clothes and bedsheets.
As for the so-called "good students," they were far worse off in this regard.
