Chapter 7 Settling In
The next day, Tang Yi took the taxi and went straight to Qilizhuang.
Arriving at the Qilizhuang area, Tang Yi chose a place with more storefronts and restaurants to get off.
Yanjing is estimated to be the most complete place for restaurants, and famous restaurants in various places gather, such as Hunan restaurants, Sichuan restaurants, hot pot restaurants, barbecue restaurants, gourmet noodles, and grilled fish villages.
But Tang Yi couldn't even look down on it. The restaurant he wants must be a little special, and then it's a good deal.
Suddenly, a string of bright red fonts attracted Tang Yi's attention: sheep scorpion!
I haven't eaten it, but it should be good, not bad, and northerners should eat more meat.
Looking at the environment inside, it is elegant and simple, clean and tidy.
Well, that's it!
Tang Yi entered the store and went up to the second floor, chose a more spacious and safe place (feeling) to sit down, and ordered the food first. I looked at the time, and it was close to twelve o'clock.
Tang Yi sent Xu Lei a WeChat message, informing him of the location and restaurant.
After a while, Xu Lei called: "Brother, where are you? I'm here." Tang Yi then remembered that this was the place he thought was conspicuous, but in fact, Yanjing was so big, where did he know what a "sheep scorpion" was.
"I'm leaning on the side of the restaurant under the humanities overpass", Tang Yi hurriedly walked out of the restaurant.
From afar, I watched a student girl pushing a bicycle with a phone in her hand.
The two waved and smiled at each other. After being contacted so many times, this was the first meeting.
Tang Yi looked at Xu Lei in time, and saw that Xu Lei was wearing blue and gray denim shorts and a white loose T-shirt today, looking youthful and energetic. A delicate and round face, red lower lips, two rows of neat white teeth, and a charming smile. The hair that is not short or long, and the steps that are not hurried, give people an independent charm, and they are not little girls. Well, it's a beauty.
"Brother, have you been waiting for a long time?" After Xu Lei approached, she greeted with a smile, her voice trembling slightly.
"I've just arrived for a while, so let's go in together. Xu Lei, who approached, was about the same height as herself, and Tang Yi's heart was trembling, it was unnatural in front of beautiful girls, but her tone was very peaceful.
"Okay, I'll get out of the car. ”
When it comes up, the hot pot can be eaten.
"Xu Lei, I took it upon myself to order a few side dishes and two high-quality sheep scorpions, what do you think you want to order?" Tang Yi asked.
"No, you don't have to be so polite, there are probably a lot of sheep and scorpions. ”
"It's okay, eat slowly. ”
After sitting down, Xu Lei asked first,
"Brother, why do you want to come to Yanjing?"
"I have a fate to meet thousands of miles away, otherwise how would I meet you. Tang Yi joked.
"Brother, Director Qi is also very happy to hear that you are coming. Xu Lei did not shy away.
"No, most of the teachers and classmates are in the north, so I want to explore the north as well. Tang Yi explained himself and did not say his predicament.
"There are indeed more opportunities here in Yanjing. ”
"I also want my sister to take care of me. ”
Had a lovely lunch.
When he came out, Tang Yi helped push the bicycle and chatted while walking. Most of them were Xu Lei who introduced the place of Qilizhuang, and Tang Yi borrowed a step to ask or play a role.
A few times, Tang Yi paid attention to Xu Lei's face, but found that she raised her head slightly and looked straight ahead.
Have a boyfriend!, Tang Yi concluded. For this reason, Tang Yi adjusted his posture and completely regarded her as a junior sister.
Crossing the two main roads, it is the Qilizhuang Station that Xu Lei said.
Qilizhuang Station is on the bridge, and the river below the bridge is a little dry and green.
There is an entrance and exit at the bottom of the bridge, and there are many people coming in and out.
Xu Lei took Tang Yi into the entrance and exit, as if entering the village.
On the right is a low and dilapidated house, with many old-fashioned storefronts, restaurants, hotels, mobile phone shops, small supermarkets, etc. along the road, and on the left is the small river.
If there was no one else to lead, Tang Yi would not have found this kind of place. I don't know that the central area of the capital is also like other cities, where relatively poor people live here.
After walking for a while, Xu Lei pointed to the student cafeteria on the right and said, "This is the student cafeteria, you can usually eat here, it's very cheap, and you can have any dishes." ”
After walking a few more steps, Tang Yi saw a courtyard in the shape of a "several".
"Brother, here, this is the student dormitory. ”
Tang Yi looked up and saw that several simple billboards were connected to form a string of words, which was "Beijing Student Apartment." "—no creativity.
"This is it, what a good location, the house seems to be quite simple. Tang Yi said.
"Yes, it's mainly college graduates who come here, and they can't afford to rent it if it's too expensive. ”
"Well, it's rare to have such a place in the capital. The strange thing is that Tang Yi feels a sense of identity with this place, and feels familiar, convenient and down-to-earth.
After handing over the money, the dormitory manager uncle took Tang Yi to 106, and Xu Lei also accompanied him, in fact, it was the room that had been booked early.
The room is a bit dull and damp, five beds in a room, enough for it, similar to a university dormitory. It looks like it's old, dirty, and there are some cigarette butts in it.
"How's it going, okay?" asked the dormitory manager after entering the door, and there was no one in the dormitory.
"Yes, you can. ”
"Here are the keys to the door and the cupboard, put it away, come to me for something. ”
"Thank you, uncle. Tang Yi replied.
There are two empty beds left in the dormitory, one in the middle and one in the upper berth by the window. Tang Yi chose the upper bunk by the window. turned his head and said to Xu Lei, "Xu Lei, you can go too, I'll sort it out myself." Thank you!"
"Shall I help you clean up?" Xu Lei did not leave immediately.
"No, I can do it myself. Tang Yi didn't negotiate.
"Well, then I'll go back to the dormitory first, and if I have something to call, I'll live in the dormitory next to it. ”
"Okay. ”
Seeing Xu Lei away, Tang Yi began to tidy up the dormitory and decorate this "home". Anyway, I'm going to be living here for a while.
Tang Yi first cleaned the room and washed the bed with water. Then I bought mats, quilts and wallpaper, and put up the walls neatly on both sides, so that the walls would be clean and beautiful.
Later, Tang Yi bought some daily necessities: towels, basins, toothbrushes, hot water bottles, etc., and went to convenience stores several times in a row. Not to mention that spending a little more money is also a big expense, because you have to buy everything. Time also flies, and after a busy whole afternoon, I finally have to smoke a cigarette and take a shower happily.
By the time Tang Yi came out to change the mobile phone card, it was already dark. After changing the mobile phone card, Tang Yi hurriedly called home to report his safety, and told him that he was all settled and would go to see his senior sister and the leader tomorrow. Then I went to the restaurant and ate a bowl of noodles.
When I came back, there was not much communication in the dormitory at night, and Tang Yi also wanted to rest early, and he had to recuperate himself at work tomorrow.
