Chapter 388 On the dialectical relationship between summer and high-intensity exercise

Many years have passed, compared to when Zhang Xinli first set foot in this city, Shanghai still seems to be the same Shanghai. The area of ​​the central urban area has hardly changed, but the number of permanent residents here is increasing, and the degree of education of the permanent residents is also increasing. High, diplomas are more devalued than they were six or seven years ago, and crazy introversion is beginning to appear.

After renting a house independently for three times, Lin Jinyu, a master's degree candidate, finally rented a house that both of them are satisfied with after many investigations. The master bedroom is shared, with an air conditioner and washing machine with a separate bathroom. No network cable is provided but the lighting is good. , The distance from the school is about the same, 3000 yuan per month.

"It's only been less than two years, why does the rent seem to have risen again?" Lin Jinyu looked at the lease contract and complained, "It wasn't so expensive during the internship."

"It shows the rapid development," Zhang Xinli said, "In two years, the house price has almost doubled again."

When the two of them came to Shanghai for an internship, Lin Jinyu alone sent five extra-large couriers. Now the two of them add up to a total of two packages, which is light and simple.Some sheets and quilt covers were installed in the suitcase to prevent people from sleeping on the bed board before the courier arrived.

This is also very good, it looks like a lot of things are missing, but in fact, there are enough necessities, light and uncumbersome, even Lin Jinyu recalled that time, she didn't know how she picked up so many useless things.

"That's over," he sighed that countless people in this city have said and will continue to say in the future: "When and when can I buy a house."

After ordinary people obtain the qualifications to buy a house, they may be able to make up a down payment with six wallets, but they have no wallet to pay for, and the house price is not up to them. They may have to rent a house for a long time, but no matter what—— It's better than when I didn't graduate.

After settling in, Zhang Xinli reported to the unit with the three certificates and the tripartite contract. He officially went to work at the beginning of the next month and started his social animal life.Fresh graduates have zero years of service and no salary, but they have all five insurances and one housing fund, and they get about four to five thousand a month, which is much better than in the past.

"In this way, let's clarify the financial issues first, so as to save money." Once again, Lin Jinyu didn't want to quarrel with him over money, so he made three chapters at the beginning: "I don't have a job, but I have a scholarship. I also do odd jobs at ordinary times, although the treatment is not comparable to your full-time work for the time being, but it is still no problem to scrape together food money, so I think..."

Before he could say anything, Zhang Xinli said, "I have no objection." After he finished speaking, realizing that he hadn't said anything, he added, "Say it."

"..." Lin Jinyu said: "I paid the deposit, but you may have to pay a little more for the rent in the future. The water and electricity are shared, and the daily vegetable money is kept on the account. I sometimes eat at school, but it doesn't matter, it's all equal. Other personal expenses such as phone bills and shopping are all AA."

This plan is somewhat similar to that of close roommates, but it is quite reasonable. There are shared parts and separate parts. Zhang Xinli, who currently has a stable income, takes more of the big part, and Lin Jinyu takes more of the small part. even.

"Okay." Zhang Xinli didn't say anything, just said this word.

"By the way, there is more," Lin Jinyu suddenly remembered that they had a big dog: "We are co-renting, and we finally found a place where both the landlord and the tenant agree to keep dogs. We will take more responsibility for public health. If you are free, you Do it, I'll do it when I'm free, don't let dog hair fly all over the sky."

It is true that you need to pay special attention to raising a dog and sharing the rent with people. Zhang Xinli didn't think about this aspect at all, and said, "Okay, you are thoughtful."

The place is narrow, and the big dog cage is temporarily placed in the single guard in the master bedroom. Lin Jinyu feels sorry for it, what's the matter with sleeping in the toilet, and will definitely live in a bigger place when he has money in the future.

After everything was agreed, Lin Jinyu finally settled down in his hometown. Lin Jinyu suddenly felt refreshed and in good condition.

Zhang Xinli works from [-] to [-], and the first year of research does not start until September. Recently, he has nothing to do. The only thing to do is to contact his tutor and read the books on the book list that the tutor sent him.

Many of the students from the attached high school also graduated, and most of them returned to Shanghai to develop, and for a while there was a posture of gathering friends and friends.

A certain important day is approaching. One day, Lin Jinyu finished cooking and was lying on the sofa reading a monograph on her mobile phone. Zhang Xinli came back from get off work and suddenly asked him, "Your birthday is coming up next month. How do you plan to spend this year?" ?”

"What?" Lin Jinyu even studied and worked part-time, and was so focused on saving a few more dollars before school started that she almost forgot about it: "Oh... well, your birthday seems to be coming soon, and it's even here before me."

Their birthdays are also quite coincidental, counting as front and rear feet.

"I don't live very much," Zhang Xinli sat down beside him, and said, "Either we live together this year. Where do you want to go? During the graduation season, go on a trip."

What does "also" mean, Lin Jinyu doesn't quite understand, they only had a birthday together in the first year of being together... Uh, if making love is not a celebration.

He said: "Why don't you do it? It doesn't make sense. We were born on the same day and the same month in different years. Of course you have to celebrate your birthday. Why do you accommodate me?"

"I don't have anything to play," Zhang Xinli replied, "I'm not familiar with the surrounding areas."

Lin Jinyu replied, "I don't have anything else to play."

"Isn't there quite a lot?" Zhang Xinli said, "I remember before..."

In the past, during the junior high school graduation season, Lin Jinyu said that he wanted to visit Xiamen, or Jiuzhaigou, or Sanya, Hainan, etc.

Before Zhang Xinli finished speaking, Lin Jinyu said: "That was before. Besides, there is no such spare money, the necessary needs have not been fully met, the unnecessary ones can be put aside, and you will not die if you don't play... Or, either Let's go out on our birthdays, or forget it."

How could the two of them have the funds for two trips, not to mention Zhang Xinli had to go to work.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Lin Jinyu shrugged and said, "Look, you also know that you don't have any money. Don't spend ahead of time, and don't go if you don't have any. Otherwise, there will definitely be quarrels in the middle, and good things will make you unhappy."

"Then buy a cake," Zhang Xinli thought for a while, and said, "Call your friends for a meal."

"Okay," Lin Jinyu held the phone and said, "I'll buy you one, I don't need it, it's too boring, I can't finish it anyway, it's a waste... don't prepare anything, don't even ask for gifts, just eat a meal. "

"You still need a present," Zhang Xinli said, "otherwise, why would you call it a birthday?"

"It's really unnecessary," Lin Jinyu said without raising her head, "There are all daily necessities, and there is no shortage."

If there is no money, there is a way to live. Although the two of them are not doing very well now, there are still many people in Hupiao who are worse off than them. Lin Jinyu's current life principle is: strictly follow the budget, and spend as much money as possible. Save money, earn three thousand, don't pay five thousand, don't use all the bells and whistles.

Zhang Xinli didn't comment. Seeing Lin Jinyu staring at the phone while talking to him, he didn't look away when he finished speaking, and went over curiously, asking, "What are you looking at?"

"Books." Lin Jinyu looked uncomfortable in his eyes. He pinched the bridge of his nose and said, "The tutor asked me to read it. It's been a few years. I can't find paper copies. I can only find resources online to download."

Without a computer, he can only read PDFs and MOBIs on his mobile phone. Not to mention that he can’t typeset them. The characters are smaller than ants. After reading them for a few days, it may be difficult for him not to be short-sighted—but there is no way, the conditions are like this.

Zhang Xinli watched silently.

"By the way, speaking of having dinner with friends...Comrade Xu Dazhao called yesterday to ask us to have a meal together." Lin Jinyu suddenly remembered something, and said, "It is said that it is to clean up the dust, and that the restaurants in Shanghai are free to choose. , he manages enough."

This guy is so rich and powerful, it must be because of his meritorious deeds, Dad Xu resumed his supply, so Wang Ba turned around in an instant, and the thousand-year-old Hu Hansan came back again, and he rushed to help his brothers.

"Very good," Zhang Xinli was thinking about something, and replied simply, "We are all friends."

"I think so." The small light bulb on Lin Jinyu's forehead suddenly lit up: "Hey, how about... let's go eat on your birthday, and have a good meal."

There are so many high-end restaurants in Shanghai. If the current Lin Jinyu invites him to dinner, Lin Jinyu must not have the strength to invite him to dinner. However, birthdays only happen once a year, and Zhang Xinli likes Shanghai and the bustling... Such an arrangement, Zhang Xinli probably Have a happier birthday.

He said, "It's just... don't mind if I borrow flowers to offer Buddha."

If he saves up the money for meals, he can give him a better gift, Lin Jinyu thought in his heart: He just went to work, so he should sometimes need to wear formal clothes, but he doesn't have that kind of clothes... a whole set of high-end suits I can't afford to give it away for the time being...or a good belt...or a high-end razor is also good, he always uses the old-fashioned manual one, which is not very convenient...or something else...Think for yourself Just don't let him know, otherwise what's the birthday without surprises?

Both of them were thinking about it, and they fell silent in a tacit understanding without knowing each other. Even the dog who had just arrived in the new place miraculously stopped barking.

After a long time, Zhang Xinli's reflex arc finally ran completely, and he said, "...it's okay, I don't mind, it's fine."

Lin Jinyu regained consciousness after realizing it, and had already forgotten what he didn't mind... Oh oh, Xu Zhao invites you to dinner.

"Okay, then it's settled," Lin Jinyu said, "You have to go to work, so how about dinner?"

"En." Zhang Xinli replied, rubbing his shoulders.

"What?" Lin Jinyu changed from lying down to sitting, and asked, "Tired? Sprained? Or cramps?"

"It's a bit uncomfortable," Zhang Xinli said, "It's been a long time since I did high-intensity exercise."

The meaning of the "high-intensity exercise" he said is still very serious. I don't know if it's serious in a few days. Lin Jinyu thinks about it too. When he was busy with graduation, he didn't play or run, and he hunched over every day. I went to type in front of the computer, and my joints were numb, so I said: "Life lies in exercise, and it is convenient to take a bath in summer, so I should exercise more... I am fine now anyway, if you want to exercise someday, tell me, I will accompany you Let's move together."
