At the end of August, I went to school.
Tan Ruikang's ear was removed, but it has not yet fully healed. The weather was hot, and Yuan Yuan was very worried. He wanted to take a few days off to report, but Tan Ruikang insisted not to use it. Yuan Yuan was afraid that he would be infected by sweating and the wound would become inflamed. They were still quarreling at home. In the end, Tan Ruikang refused to ask for leave. The two had to pack up and prepare to go to school.
After the two discussed and decided, the computer was not brought with him, and Yuan Yuan wanted to buy a new one. The one Tan Ruikang used was the one he eliminated after graduating from junior high school, and he couldn't run the game. I plan to buy a laptop by myself.
According to Tan Ruikang's meaning, he used Yuan Yuan's high school computer to buy Yuan Yuan a notebook, Yuan Yuan felt sorry, and the two quarreled endlessly.
Tan Ruikang: "I usually just need to check the website on the Internet! Why did you buy such a good one for me?"
Yuan Yuan couldn't stand him anymore, and said, "How did you bring this machine! It's too heavy to die."
Tan Ruikang: "Don't worry about it. After the military training is over, your computer is also covered with me."
As soon as Tan Ruikang was in charge, the two started arguing about money. In the end, Yuan Yuan had to give in, carrying his luggage sullenly, and went to university with Tan Ruikang.
Far away means that I will buy new quilts and mattresses when I arrive, and they are also used, but Tan Ruikang felt distressed about spending money, so he packed everything that could be packed, carrying a mountaineering bag and two big bags.
Yuan Yuan was really going to be driven mad by him, and said, "Don't bring so many things?! Your ears are not good, and you will easily sweat when you lift such heavy things. You can buy them when you arrive!"
Tan Ruikang said, "You don't need to mention it."
"This is shameful!" Yuan Yuan finally called out the truth.
Tan Ruikang said: "Then let the uncle drive us? You don't want to let the uncle drive us there."
Yuan Yuan was speechless, his only thought was to hit the wall to vent, and he himself felt that he was a lunatic.
The two put their luggage on the train, and they had to transfer trains when they arrived in Guangzhou. Tan Ruikang was going to take the subway, but Yuan Yuan was about to cry. There are seven large luggage bags in total, and you will definitely be seen dead when you get on the subway.
"Have a taxi." Yuan Yuan said.
Tan Ruikang: "Taking a taxi here is not as expensive as ours. It's very expensive! Don't look at the starting price of only ten yuan. I checked the map and it takes dozens of miles to get to the school from here..."
Yuan Yuan couldn't say anything, so he could only wave his hand unconsciously, begging Tan Ruikang to stop talking.
They turned around outside the East Station and suddenly saw the student counter on the University City campus, and they were immediately saved!
The bus took them to the university town, which was huge to death. Yuan Yuan had never seen much of the world except for traveling since he was a child. At first, he thought it was just a mix of all schools, using the same teaching building or a few very large canteens. After coming here Only to find out that is not the case at all. Since the expansion of the national college entrance examination, the number of college students has increased year by year, and the area of the university town has never been larger.
Tan Ruikang's campus is in Wushan, and he has to take the subway one more time. Didn't they say they were all in the university town
Tan Ruikang looked at the map and asked his brothers and sisters again. Finally, he came to a conclusion that the freshman was on the Wushan campus, and the sophomore had to move to the university town, which was only a year apart.
Well, just one year, one year is acceptable.
Tan Ruikang first took Yuan Yuan to separate the big and small bags, and the two went to report.
"I can do it myself." Yuan Yuan said, "I really can."
"Then you go to the queue." Tan Ruikang said with a smile, "I'll wait for you here."
At the end of August, the campus was so hot and sweaty, I went to report from a distance, I got the dormitory key first, and the rest will be discussed later. The two went in and took a look. In the four-person room, only a boy with thick bottle-bottomed glasses was reading a book, looking up blankly. look at them.
"Hello." Tan Ruikang greeted him with a smile.
The man got up and shook hands with Yuan Yuan. It was the first time in Yuan Yuan's life that he greeted him so formally, and he couldn't help getting goosebumps all over.
"%￥#@." The man said.
Yuan Yuan introduced himself: "Zhao Yuan Yuan."
The man nodded, Yuan Yuan couldn't understand what he said at all, the accent was too heavy, and he was born unable to remember his name, he basically forgot his name, looked around, and said, "Did you not come? I'm sleeping... Here." He chose a seat by the balcony.
There are four bunks, a double-layer multifunctional one, with a bed on top. Tan Ruikang said: "It is easy to be blown by the wind by the balcony.
Tan Ruikang climbed up to make the bed for Yuanyao, and Yuanyao wanted to let him down, but Tan Ruikang ignored him and said, "I'll make it for you, but you can't make it yourself."
I walked around in the distance and looked at the balcony to see the bathroom. There was no air conditioner washing machine, but there was a water heater and electric fan.
"Are you here together?" the man said.
"No." Yuan Yuan smiled and said, "He is my brother and sent me to study."
After a while, two more students came in and greeted Yuan Yuan. Yuan Yuan's mind was very confused, and he couldn't remember his name, so he could only smile at them.
The five people were a little crowded in the dormitory. Tan Ruikang packed the bed, and Yuan Yuan felt very embarrassed, so he hurriedly said it would be okay. I will come for the rest. Tan Ruikang went out to look around again and said he would leave immediately.
Yuan Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, took out the things, and hung them in the wardrobe. This design is very good. There is a desk, bookshelf and wardrobe under the bed. All four students are packing their things.
"Xiaoyuan." Tan Ruikang said, "there is a laundry room downstairs, you can ask the aunt who is in charge of it and give her clothes and let her wash it, so you don't have to wash it yourself. Great, it's finally solved."
There was one person laughing, Yuan Yuan's face was red and his ears were red, and he said, "I see."
Tan Ruikang smiled and scattered the cigarettes for the distant roommates. One took one and put it behind his ear, and the other took it and put it on the table. The boy with glasses waved his hand to indicate that he would not smoke.
"Please take care of my brother." Tan Ruikang said sincerely: "This is the first time he has come out to live a collective life. Brothers, please be tolerant."
Yuan Yuan was so embarrassed that his face was red and he was about to say something—
"It must be." Another tall man smiled at Tan Ruikang: "It's the first time for everyone. It's fate to be together and take care of each other."
Yuanyuan Xindao, this person can really speak, and he can't learn this by himself.
Tan Ruikang said, "I'm leaving."
Yuan Yuan said, "I'll take you down."
Tan Ruikang was carrying a bag and a duffel bag in his hand. The two went down to the first floor, and there were freshmen in camouflage uniforms and quilts chatting hilariously. Far away sent Tan Ruikang to the school gate. Tan Ruikang had to squeeze the bus and transfer to the subway, saying, "Brother, take care of yourself, learn to get along with new friends."
"I will." Yuan Yuan could not laugh or cry: "Go quickly."
"Let's go." Tan Ruikang said.
Yuan Yuan felt a little empty in his heart. He just said that he asked Tan Ruikang to go to his school quickly, but he was just embarrassed. When Tan Ruikang really wanted to leave, Yuan Yuan didn't want him to leave.
"When will we meet?" Yuan Yuan said.
Tan Ruikang said: "Contact on the phone, if the two sides are not busy... After the military training is over, will we eat together every day when there is no class in the afternoon?"
Yuan Yuan said: "Okay."
Tan Ruikang got on the bus and said loudly, "You pay attention to safety!"
Tan Ruikang didn't hear it. He took out his mobile phone on the bus, expecting to report to Zhao Guogang that they had successfully entered the school. He stood in front of the station far away, indescribably disappointed.
He was left alone.
It's really strange. I used to be alone. Four years ago, before Tan Ruikang came, he got up alone, brushed his teeth and washed his face, and plugged in his earphones to go out to take a class on the bus. Why didn't he feel lost at that time
As soon as Tan Ruikang left, Yuan Yuan felt quite uncomfortable.
He turned around and took two steps, and Tan Ruikang's cell phone text message came.
[Brother, just treat people sincerely, the real you is very likable, there is no need to deliberately cater to or please anyone.]Yuan Yuan looked up and saw Tan Ruikang on the bus looking up and smiling at him, and made a goodbye gesture to him.
Back in the dormitory, their beds were made, and the two new roommates were chatting. The tall man saw that he was far away and said, "Is that person your brother just now?"
Yuan Yuan said: "Cousin, but we grew up together and studied in China."
"Where are you from?" another boy said.
Yuan Yuan thought about it for a while, remembered Tan Ruikang's advice, and said honestly: "I... from Shenzhen. What's your name? I'm sorry I was too nervous just now, I didn't hear it clearly... I don't remember all your names."
Several people in the dormitory laughed, and the man said, "My name is Zhang Jun."
Yuan Yuan smiled and said, "My name is Zhao Yuan Yuan."
The tall man said, "My name is HNA."
The boy with glasses said, "My name is Wang Ye."
The few people knew each other like this, Yuan Yuan secretly remembered their names, sat on the chair, draped the back of the chair, and the tall man said again: "Your brother just finished the summer vacation and came to school with you?"
"Well... he's a Chinese worker." Yuan Yuan said, "He's also a freshman, but he's older than me."
"The third year of high school was repeated?" Wang Ye said, "I also repeated for a year."
Yuan Yuan said: "Forget it, I repeated it when I was in middle school..."
"The score of CUHK is really high enough." Yu Weihang said, "It's 600 points in our place..."
Several people began to talk about the college entrance examination, and only then did they realize that the admission scores of each college in different provinces and cities were very different. Like Shenzhen University, a guaranteed school that all locals go to if they fail to pass the entrance exam, they belong to the first batch in inland provinces and cities! Still pretty bad.
The scores of CUHK and Chinese workers are also very high, and it takes a lot of effort to get admitted from other provinces.
Even schools such as Peking University and Tsinghua University have very good preferential policies for students in Beijing. If Tan Ruikang's study level is changed to Beijing, he should be able to enter Tsinghua University steadily.
Fudan Jiaotong University has a preferential score for Shanghai locals. Correspondingly, Yuanyuan can take CUHK as a second choice, which is also a blessing for candidates from Guangdong Province.
There are still so many mysteries. Yuan Yuan has never heard Zhao Guogang say that he and Yu Haihang in the same dormitory are majoring in communication engineering. It is said that this major has good employment prospects. The other boy with glasses and Zhang Jun study computer.
Yuan Yuan Lao couldn't match the name, so he could only get to know people first, and by the way, he nicknamed the boy with glasses Xiao Dai. Because he is small and dumb.
"You don't know that our Shandong scores are higher." Wang Ye didn't know that he had been nicknamed by the distant heart, and said: "Shandong is the place with the most brutal competition in the national college entrance examination..."
The four of them just met, and the topic always revolved around the college entrance examination a few months ago. After talking about the scores, they talked about their respective majors. The Department of Computer Science at CUHK is still good. In recent years, they have begun to send talents to various regions of the Pearl River Delta, and the employment prospects are very broad.
After a while, someone knocked on the door again, it was the same class, reminding them to lead the military training uniform and quilt.
Yuan Yuan came out to say hello, and found that half of the boys in his class on this floor were in two dormitories, mixed with people from other colleges, and went down with Yu Haihang to get the quilt and washbasin.
Yu Haihang said: "Your brother is very good to you, go this way, don't run around. Haven't been out?"
The distant place is unfamiliar. For many years, there has been a father-type or brother-type nanny who has followed him. He can't even read a map. At this moment, it's like a pug thrown into a dog's kennel, with a face full of confusion and melancholy. HNA can also see it.
"Why do you say that?" Yuan Yuan chatted with Yu Haihang while lining up.
"I'll make your bed and pack your things." Yu Haihang smiled and said, "I've been used as a nanny by you before."
Yuan Yuan smiled awkwardly and said, "Your parents didn't send you here?"
Yu Haihang finished smoking the cigarette given by Tan Ruikang and said with a smile, "The toll is too expensive, so I didn't let them come."
Yuan Yuan nodded, knowing that all his friends in the dormitory were quite poor. Except for Zhang Jun who brought a computer and hadn't unpacked it yet, the other little guy and Yu Haihang didn't have a computer. Yu Haihang also wore ordinary clothes and sneakers Dirty old.
"Will you drink water?" Yuan Yuan said.
Yu Haihang was busy saying that he didn't need to, so Yuan Yuan didn't insist. He bought a bottle of water by himself, and the two went upstairs with a lot of things. There were still two days of military training, and a few people chatted in the dormitory.
In the evening, a very handsome senior came over to teach how to pack quilts, and took Yuan Yuan's quilt as an example. He was taller than Yuan Yuan, and his handsome feeling was not the same type as Yuan Yuan.
Yuan Yuan was actually a little nervous, completely ignoring what the senior brother was saying. He is very difficult to understand his own thoughts, how can he be nervous? Are you nervous about good-looking gays? Done.
Something that Yuanyuan had deliberately forgotten for a long time was remembered again.
"Is it okay?" Yu Haihang noticed Yuan Yuan's distraction and reminded him.
The senior said, "Little handsome guy, I'll pack this for you, don't touch it, just carry it on your back for military training the day after tomorrow."
Yuan Yuan hurriedly said thank you, the senior brother left, Yuan Yuan was a little distracted, and felt very uncomfortable, he should be a homosexual.
Homosexuality is gay, what will happen after being gay... Forget it.
Yuan Yuan said: "I'll treat you tonight, let's have dinner together?"
Everyone was busy saying that they didn’t need it, so let’s eat in the cafeteria. Yuan Yuan had no choice but to give up, and went to the cafeteria. The meal was hard and unpalatable.
"Is that so?" Yuan Yuan said, "The food is too bad."
"Meat dishes for two yuan. Vegetarian dishes for fifty cents." Zhang Jun smiled and said, "How much can you have? Aunt sees you as handsome, and has given you more."
The four of them all laughed, while Xiao Dian with glasses ordered two servings of vegetarian dishes, while Yu Haihang bought half a catty of rice and added more after eating, saying, "You southerners don't eat steamed buns, so you are not full. You still have to eat steamed buns. ."
Yuan Yuan made a bunch of dishes. He ate it according to the standard of ten yuan for fast food in high school. Besides, each dish was only a small spoonful, and a few bites were not enough to eat. He ate a few mouthfuls of food, but it was not delicious, and it was even worse. Facing the dry and astringent rice, the weather was hot, and he had no appetite at all. not too good.
While eating, Tan Ruikang's text message came: [Brother, have you received your military training clothes? have you eaten?] Far away: [I got it, I'm eating.]
Tan Ruikang: [What do you eat?]
Far away: [braised pork, grass carp, sweet and sour meatballs, kelp ribs. Rape, broccoli.]Tan Ruikang: [Have an early rest at night, how about getting along with your roommates?]
Yuan Yuan: [Everyone is very nice and gets along well, how about you?]
Tan Ruikang: [I am also very good here.]
Yuan Yuan didn't realize that he had ordered too many dishes, and he just left it when he couldn't finish it. Until the other three started laughing at him for being wasteful, Yuan Yuan felt embarrassed and had to say nothing.
He found out that the way he made friends as a child no longer worked after he went to college.
I still remember when I was at the same table with Qi Huiyu when I was in the first year of junior high school, Yuan Yuan brought the imported Panasonic Walkman, which was very expensive at the time, and listened to Qi Huiyu with earphones, and then took out the candy from Milk Boy and invited Qi Huiyu to eat, and the two became good friends. Well, that box of candy was eaten and passed around most of the classroom, so Yuan Yuan also got a nickname called Milk Boy.
Later, after he finished the gym class, he was sweating profusely and went to buy water to drink. Zhang Zhen was on the side. Zhang Zhen said, "Milk boy, please let me have a bottle of water."
Yuan Yuan invited him to drink a bottle, and Qi Huiyu to drink a bottle. Seeing that Lin Zibo was beside him, he bought four bottles of water for ten yuan and was too lazy to carry change coins, so he gave Lin Zibo a bottle.
It was that simple, the four of them became good friends.
Now meeting strangers and becoming friends seems to have another topic - money. Although the roommates didn't say it clearly, the topics always revolved around the future, career, and material-related content.
When I was young, money was money, and money was just a piece of paper that could buy food, drink, and play.
After growing up, these papers seem to carry more - life, background, social status, environmental differences, all people are thinking, not now, there will be in the future. You have, I do not envy, because I will have it sooner or later through my own efforts.
After dinner, Yuan Yuan sat at the table and flipped through the picture book. He was not very interested in the topics that his roommates talked about. They would fight landlords and play tractors. Yuan Yuan knew none of these.
They talked about employment, work, how much they could earn by working in Dongguan for a month, and at the same time they were full of expectations for the future of college students, and their words showed higher aspirations than the sky. The factory earned hundreds of thousands of dollars, talking about the customs of their respective hometowns... Yu Haihang likes Jacky Cheung, and even let Yuanyao sing a few Cantonese songs to listen to. Yuanyao can't laugh or cry, and speaking Cantonese has become a skill.
"You will teach us to speak Cantonese in the future." Yu Haihang said.
"Okay..." Yuan Yuan said, wanting to cry without tears, "I guarantee that you will all learn 900 Cantonese sentences after graduation."
Yuan Yuan tried several times, and finally had to admit that he couldn’t chat with them. He didn’t know how important employment was, what the deep meaning of money was about self-worth and social status, and he didn’t know that Guangdong was already a place in the minds of many people. There are impressions of gold everywhere.
Yu HNA and the others studied harder than each other in high school. The concept of the roommates is that when they come to Guangzhou, they will settle down here, and then they will work in the Pearl River Delta with rapid economic development and bring their parents over.
Yuan Yuan has no concept of work at all. When people ask him what his family does, Yuan Yuan only says that his father is running a small company, and he dares not say more. I dare not say that he has already made up his mind to be the secretary of the general manager of a listed company while he is still in high school, and he has not yet formed a clear concept of money.
When he parted, Tan Ruikang gave him one thousand. Yuan Yuan told himself not to spend money indiscriminately, but he couldn't help spending two hundred downstairs - bought drinks in the afternoon, drinks in the evening, drinks in the morning, and was hungry in the middle of the night. For snacks, I bought instant noodles, a small electric fan on the head of the bed, liquid mosquito coils, and a bunch of novels and comic books sold by my brothers and sisters.
When he bought it back, Derpy turned over the distant comic books and picture albums and said, "What's the use of buying these?"
"Look." Yuan Yuan smiled: "Otherwise, the next two days will be boring."
"Your family is quite rich, right?" Zhang Jun smiled.
"No, no." Yuan Yuan hurriedly said, he knew that Zhang Jun had no other intentions and just said it casually, but others noticed his clothing and behavior and accurately judged that he was a young man from Shenzhen.
In their minds, they already had a general outline of Yuanyuan—the father was so busy with business that he couldn’t even come to the university in person, otherwise he would have driven him to school, so the elder brother took care of him, spending generously and eating a lot. serving dishes, and kept offering to invite people to eat and drink.
This is an unfamiliar world, far away and finally touching a corner of society.
The work-study brothers downstairs with calling cards are still selling. Yu Haihang and Wang Ye who do not have mobile phones are using 210 long-distance calling cards to make calls in the dormitory to report their safety. Zhang Jun is spraying washing powder and rubbing the collars of his clothes, and the fans are buzzing. It was humming and the weather was hot and sticky, not like the air conditioner at home, nor the stars and summer nights in my hometown. There is no fan that Tan Ruikang gently shakes, and no quilt to hold—to keep cool, Yuan Yuan had to cover with a thin sheet, which is very unaccustomed, and has no sense of security being pressed by the air-conditioning quilt.
After the lights were turned off, Yu Haihang was still chatting with Zhang Jun, talking about their love history, and Zhang Jun was planning to find another girlfriend in college.
Yuan Yuan climbed onto the hard bed and smelled the aroma of the electric mosquito coil in his nose.
Wang Ye smiled and said, "Fortunately, Zhao Yuanyuan bought mosquito coils, otherwise I wouldn't know how to live without mosquito nets these days."
Yuan Yuan smiled and said, "You're welcome."
He was lying on the top bunk, the bed was so small that he couldn't spread his hands and feet, and it was really hard to get by.
At that moment, he missed home.
He turned sideways, blocked the light with the quilt, and texted Tan Ruikang: [Brother, I miss you.]Tan Ruikang: [Xiaoyuan, I miss you too, I'm not used to it without you.]At that moment, the sleepiness of the distant disappeared completely, as if some kind of implicit confession was answered, and my heart was both sweet and melancholy.
Tan Ruikang: [Go to sleep, don't be too late. Good night.]
Far away: [Good night.]
Yuan Yuan was very hot, he tossed and turned on the bed, and Yu Haihang was still chatting with Zhang Jun, making a lot of noise. Yuan Yuan wants them to stop talking, what is there to say, how come the topic of girlfriends is endless.
But he didn't dare to say, "Don't chat, I want to sleep." After all, the people in this dormitory will live together for four years. He doesn't understand many things, and he is afraid of offending people on the first day.
But Danny Glasses took off his glasses, lay on the bed and fell asleep, and was not afraid of the heat when the quilt was wrapped like a worm.
Every time Yu Haihang and Zhang Jun quieted down, Yuan Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he could finally sleep, but within a few seconds, Zhang Jun said, "The girls in Hangzhou are beautiful..."
So the two chatted again.
Oh my god! Far away was so quarrelled that I wanted to scold people, and it was extremely painful. After he got out of bed and went to the bathroom several times, it was quiet outside. It was already two o'clock in the night, and the two chatters finally stopped talking.
Yuan Yuan lay on the bed exhausted, and when he was groggy and about to fall asleep, Yu Haihang started snoring.
A quiver in the distance was suddenly awakened.
Distant: "… "
Yuan Yuan almost turned over in a frenzy, lying on the straw mat and couldn't sleep at all, thinking wildly in his mind, it is said that the military training that starts in a few days will be more bitter and tiring...
He doesn't want to live anymore.
At four o'clock in the night, Yuan Yuan finally couldn't bear it anymore and fell into a deep sleep, ending the first day of his collective life after he left Tan Ruikang.
The next day at seven o'clock, the monitor of the two departments came to knock on the door and notified one by one that they would go to the meeting at eight o'clock, and the counselor had something to say.
Far away is going crazy, and I only slept for two and a half hours! ! ! And let no one live! ! ! ! ! !
