Monday, today is the Dragon Boat Festival, the company is on holiday, but Xu Xincheng still got up at 6 o'clock, after getting up, he first went to the park near the community to run and exercise, while running and exercising while listening to audio books, and then went home and ate the egg millet porridge boiled in the rice cooker before going out.

At noon, a guest is coming, he needs to prepare, he needs to do a big cleaning, he opens the laptop, plugs in the speaker, plays Beethoven's piano music, accompanied by the melody, he washes all the dishes, chopsticks and tableware in the house, carefully cleans the kitchen and bathroom, and carefully cleans every corner of the whole room.

After about an hour, he stood in the middle of the room, looked around, and looked at the room that he had kept clean and tidy, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

This rental house, with an area of 20 square meters, is not large, but the layout is reasonable and square, and Xu Xincheng has always been quite satisfied with it.

The room is 4 meters wide, 5 meters long, and 3 meters high, with white gray walls and white gray ceilings, which have turned dark gray over time, and there are black spots in some places. Most of the spots are in the middle of the wall, and he bought eight ink landscape paintings on the Internet, and hung them on the wall, which not only covered the black spots, but also added a bit of elegance to the whole room.

However, the most distinctive view of the whole room is on the ground, which is paved with dark gray floor tiles, and the ground that has been walked for 30 years has been walked out of a slightly sunken gray-white path.

The room sits west to east, the door is 1 meter wide and opens to the far right of the west wall, the gray-white path starts from the floor tile in the middle of the doorway, the path extends to the left at a 45-degree angle to the room, it appears the first fork about 1 meter after entering the door, the small branch to the left leads to a dark brown wooden wardrobe with a width of 1 meter and a height of 1.8 meters placed against the west wall, and the small branch to the right leads to a dark brown wooden sofa placed on the south wall.

Continue on the main road of the gray and white path for about 1 meter, a second fork appears, and the small branch road that turns left extends to a wooden bed with a width of 1.2 meters and a length of 1.9 meters, and the same dark brown wooden bed is placed against the right-angled corner of the west and north walls.

Continuing on, this section of the main road is located in the middle line of the room, walk about 1 meter, there is a fork in the angle of 90 degrees, the small branch road to the left leads to a toilet with an area of 2 square meters, and the small branch road to the right leads to a kitchen with an area of 2 square meters, and the east wall of the kitchen has a large window with a left and right sliding type, through which the morning sun can shine through the window to the wooden bed.

A year ago, Xu Xincheng, who was about to graduate from college and was about to move out of the university dormitory, came here to see the house, and when he saw the gray-white path on the ground for the first time, he was not only not dissatisfied with it, but had some respect for it, and he remembered what Mr. Lu Xun said: "There is no road in the world, and there are more people walking, and there is a road." ”

In his opinion, this gray-and-white path is more poetic and meaningful than the ink landscape paintings on the wall.

The furniture in the room, such as wooden wardrobes, wooden sofas and wooden beds, was left by the owner, all of which were 30 years old and somewhat dilapidated, but he felt that they were still usable, so he did not ask the owner to replace them or buy new ones himself.

In the whole room, there is a set of furniture that is a little out of harmony with the old furniture and old decoration, it is a set of what looks like a new sky blue wooden combination shelf, it is placed against the north wall, placed next to the wooden bed, the combination shelf is a combination of a bookshelf and a desk, and in front of the desk is a grass-green office chair.

There are more than 100 books on the sky-blue bookshelf, and there is a white lamp and a white thermos cup on the table top of the same sky-blue desk, and there are five small potted plants on the bookshelf on the desk, which are Guanyin bamboo, bamboo, aloe vera, ivy and small banyan trees, and the potted plants are full of green and vitality.

Sky blue combination shelves, grass-green office chairs, and green potted plants add a lot of color and life to the whole room. He bought them all the first weekend after he moved in.

Of all the furniture in the room, the first thing important for him was the desk and bookshelf and the office chair, and the second most important was the bed. Especially on holidays, if he doesn't go out, then he will definitely spend more time sitting at his desk reading and studying than he will spend sleeping in bed.

For this reason, he gritted his teeth and bought this set of combination shelves that are not cheap, and also bought the very comfortable office chair.

It's been a year since they've been used, but because he cleans them regularly, they still look like new.
