Met in early autumn of 2001

The author has something to say: Friends, Gong Jun has finally appeared!

August 31st is the day to register at the school, and the boarding students will also pack their luggage and report on this day.

Xia Qiang got up early. He rolled over and got out of bed. When he was putting on his clothes, he squinted and saw the person lying on the opposite bed. He snorted heavily and got his feet into the slippers. He didn't wake up Xu Yichen who was on the opposite bed. I went out by myself.

Xu Yichen was exhausted the night before, so he had moved most of the boxes into the house.Zhong Yan didn't help because she was the boss, and Xia Qiang was also a part-time worker, but she pretended to instruct him to do it, and she was watching from the side. It was clear that bullying the newcomer inevitably made Xu Yichen feel upset, but After all, he had just arrived, so he didn't want to be troublesome, so he didn't say anything.It was only when he was taking a bath that he realized that his arms were a little swollen, and when he lifted them up, he was sore and swollen, which was very uncomfortable. After taking a bath, he lay down on the bed, and soon fell asleep in a daze.Even when Xia Qiang slammed the door hard when he returned to the room, he didn't wake him up, but frowned slightly in his sleep.

The outside gradually became lively, mixed with footsteps and voices.Xu Yichen rolled his eyes, opened them suddenly and sat up. The bright sunlight outside penetrated into the room and gave him a look.Xu Yichen panicked suddenly. There was no clock in the room, so he didn't know what time it was, but he knew it was late when he heard the movement outside.He jumped out of bed in a hurry, picked up the water glass and ran to open the door to wash in the sink outside.As soon as the door opened, I saw a lot of people gathered at the entrance of the canteen next to it, including students and parents, who seemed to be here to buy things.Xu Yichen didn't care about other people's curious eyes on him, brushed his teeth, washed his face, wiped off the water droplets on his face, went back to the house, changed into a pair of trousers, and ran to the canteen.

The door of the commissary was blocked by people, Xu Yichen said "Please let me in" several times before squeezing in, Zhong Yan held the money in one hand, and brought things for someone in the other, when he saw Xu Yichen push the partition and walk in, he couldn't help but smile. He laughed and said, "Xiao Chen, you can really sleep, we've been busy all morning!"

Xu Yichen knew he was wrong, and quickly said: "Sister Zhong Yan, I didn't adjust well when I first came here, and I won't be able to in the future."

Zhong Yan ignored him and turned around to get something.Seeing her like this, Xu Yichen calmed down and asked a parent who was waiting in front of him, "Excuse me, what do you need?"

The parent seemed quite talkative, he smiled at Xu Yichen and said, "I want to buy a mosquito net for my son."

Xu Yichen asked back, "Is that a mosquito net?" The parent nodded.After Xu Yichen was sure, he turned around to look for it, but he saw that the things on the ground were piled up in a pile, and they were all messed up without tidying up. After searching for a long time, he finally found the mosquito net, and hurriedly pulled out a bed and handed it to the parent.

"Young man, how much is this?"

Xu Yichen was stunned, he didn't know how much it was, so he hurriedly asked Zhong Yan: "Sister Yan, how much is this mosquito net per bed?"

"Four yuan!" Zhong Yan glanced at this side and shouted.

The parent took out the money and gave it to Xu Yichen and left. Xu Yichen was a little nervous, put the money in the drawer, and asked the next person what to buy.Zhong Yan didn't tell him the price of each item in advance, so that he had to ask how much it cost before picking up a new one.In the end, Zhong Yan went inside to get something, Xu Yichen asked Xia Qiang, Xia Qiang replied in a rough voice: "If you don't know anything, just stand aside and make trouble here!"

Xu Yichen's temper also rose after he said such a sentence, but thinking that he was at fault for not asking the price clearly in advance, he suppressed it again.Turning around, he saw that there were not many people shopping, only three or four, so he simply put the things away, stood at a place not in the way, and silently put away what he and Zhong Yan had taken in his heart. How much money is clearly written down one by one.

They didn't have a meal until after twelve o'clock at noon.Xu Yichen drank two bowls of porridge absently, then put down the bowls and chopsticks.Zhong Yan looked at it, raised her head and smiled and said, "Hey, why does Xiaochen eat so little? Eat more, or else when you go back home, your parents will think that I am not willing to give you food when they see that you have lost weight?!"

Xu Yichen automatically ignored her eccentric words, and said with a slight smile: "No, I'm full, sister Zhong Yan, eat slowly, I'll watch in the front room." He stood up and walked out after speaking.

Seeing Xu Yichen go out, Xia Qiang bit a piece of meat in his mouth resentfully, and said to Zhong Yan: "I said, why did you find such a skinny little boy? You can tell by his hands that he hasn't worked much before." , it’s so fuzzy to move everything! I’m so shocked!”

Zhong Yan smiled and gently pushed him, "What do you know, do you know how much I pay him every month?"

"How many?"

Zhong Yan glanced at him sideways, and stretched out three fingers.Xia Qiang was shocked when he saw it, he opened his mouth wide and said, "300 yuan?" Zhong Yan nodded, smiling smugly.

Xia Qiang murmured: "Six hundred and five a month is too little for me, but this kid is still willing to do three hundred a month?!"

"That's not right, their family is poor now, it's good to have money to earn!"

Standing outside, Xu Yichen could vaguely hear voices talking inside. His eyes darkened as he looked at the door, and he remained silent.

……

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, a car stopped at the gate of County No. [-] Middle School, attracting the attention of many people.

You must know that in Shangtian County in [-], in this small county town that is far away from the word "developed", having a motorcycle at home is considered rich, let alone a car. It would be nice to have two.It is surprising that things are rare and expensive, and it is no wonder that people pay attention to them.

The car door opened, and a middle-aged man in his 40s got out of the driver's seat, wearing a suit and tie.Then the door of the back seat was also opened, and tall and handsome boys in casual clothes got out of the car. His complexion was not very good-looking, but it did not affect his handsome and flamboyant appearance in the slightest.

The middle-aged man opened the trunk to pick up his things, walked over and patted the handsome boy on the back, smiled kindly and said: "Let's go Xun Lang, let's pay your tuition first, and then go to the dormitory. You pack your things."

The boy yawned, stretched and jumped up and down twice before following the middle-aged man into the school.The security guard at the gate has been looking out the window since the car stopped at the gate, and when the two entered the gate, he quickly reached out to greet them.The boy glanced at the security guard and turned his head away, but the middle-aged man nodded friendly towards the security guard.

Xun Lang pushed open the door of dormitory 307, and the door panel slammed against the wall, startling the people lying on the bed in the room.

The moment the door hit the wall, Gu Rui quickly hid the things under the quilt, sat up on the bed with his hands, and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Xun Lang and Uncle Li coming in.Gu Rui saw his movements, but he didn't even lift his eyelids, and was not at all curious about what he was hiding.

"Uncle Li, you sent Xun Lang here again!" Gu Rui said and jumped out of bed, and said to Xun Lang, who had drooping eyelids, "Why are you here so late, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

Uncle Li put the things on Gu Rui's lower bunk, and said with a smile: "Xun Lang attended a banquet with his father last night, and he went to bed very late, so I didn't call him this afternoon because he was still catching up on sleep! "

Xun Lang waited for Uncle Li to finish speaking, then looked up at the beds around him, and finally sat down on Gu Rui's bed.Seeing his appearance just waking up, Gu Rui smiled at Uncle Li, walked over to Uncle Li behind his back, winked at Xun Lang and said in a low voice, "I've hidden something good, I'll show it to you later. look!"

Xun Lang glanced at him sideways, turned around and saw Uncle Li wipe his bed carefully several times, and said, "Uncle Li, you will go shopping later, and bring some bottles of water with you." Xun Lang said The voice is a little hoarse.

When Uncle Li heard this, he put down the rag, "Are you thirsty? Then I'll go right away, and I'll do it when I get back to bed."

Gu Rui waited for Uncle Li to walk out of the dormitory, jumped out of bed and closed the door, ready to share the good things he just said with his buddies.Xun Lang saw that he acted like a thief, closed his eyes lightly, and didn't want to talk to him.

Unlike the morning, almost no one came to the canteen this afternoon, and some of them simply bought a bottle of water and left.Xu Yichen didn't want to stay in the back room facing Zhong Yan and Xia Qiang, so he sat alone on the stone steps at the entrance of the canteen, looking at the dormitory next to him with his head propped up bored.

After standing for a long time, his hands were a little sore, Xu Yichen stood up and moved his legs, and saw a person walking up the stone ladder.Because almost all the parents who came to buy things in the morning were parents of students, Xu Yichen thought that this person was also the parent of a certain student. The difference was that this parent looked very different in suits and leather shoes.
