Chapter 009: Humble Living
The one they live in is on the first floor, which is a two-bedroom house.
Entering the room, there is a large room with a usable area of about twenty-seven or eight square meters, a large bed, a children's cot, a large wardrobe with three doors, a wooden couch and a long wooden coffee table, a square table, six or seven small plastic benches, a standard writing desk and a wooden chair against the wall, and a black and white TV with an antenna is placed on the writing desk, which can only receive CCTV and Kyoto TV.
These are said to have been left by the landlord.
The smell of dirty clothes and socks piled up in the house was unbearable. It's a few blocks away from the school dormitory.
"Brother Huang, how many people live in this room?" Ouyang Xuan also asked casually.
"Oh, there are four people living in the big room, two beds and two sleeping horizontally, one small bed, and the long wooden sofa has to be used by you!"
Huang Yixun glanced at Ouyang Xuan, and added disapprerovingly: "Brother, I came out to save money, and I started to work harder, and when I have money, I can live wherever I want!"
This is also true, rich people rent five-star hotels for a long time. Ouyang Xuan's mood now is not as depressed as when he first entered the door.
"Hurry up and wash up, I'll take you to breakfast first. ”
"Okay, thank you, Brother Huang. Ouyang Xuan took out the toiletries from his bag first, and went to the door to drag the pool to get water and wash up.
Walking out of this building, there are a few breakfast spots on the side of the road not far ahead. Most of the breakfast in the capital is pancakes, fruits, soy milk, or noodles, and xiaolongbao and wontons in Jiangnan are not common here, so you have to go to the southern snack bars on the street.
Ouyang Xuan is really hungry, no matter what he devours, this egg pancake is a delicacy at this time. Huang Yixun only ate half of a cut cake, and he asked for another after two stomachs.
Ouyang Xuan's stomach was almost full, and his mouth began to chew slowly, and he and Huang Yixun began to chat:
"Brother Huang, what year did you and Brother Zhang graduate, how can you be an alumnus?"
"We both graduated from the same class of medicine but in different majors, and graduated in the class of '92. Huang Yixun replied with a smile while eating.
"Oh! You are my seniors, 6 years old! Then your clinical medicine is good, more practical than our pharmacy major, why do you come out to be a doctor to make medicine?" Ouyang Xuan asked a little more.
"Both of us were admitted to the poor areas in southwest China, and we were assigned back to the local area. I was assigned to the No. 1 Prison of the State Labor Reform Bureau as a prison doctor, and Zhang Shangrong was assigned to the county hospital as a doctor. The medical conditions of the hospitals in our county are not comparable to those in developed areas, the wages are low, the equipment is poor, and there is no gray income. This kid is listless all day long, mixed for more than a year and had a medical accident, was chased by the locals, no rut he ran out to sell drugs in early 94, now good 4 years more than 4 years saved a lot of money, bought a small suite in Dongcheng District and a Xiali car, married his wife also came to help him run clinical, his son is nearly 1 year old. Huang Yixun said with a little envy.
"What year did you come out?"
"I came out of prison without pay in the second half of '96, almost two years. This kid goes back every year during the Spring Festival, and he blows it at the class reunion, saying that this is an international metropolis in Kyoto, and you can make money freely and pick up girls, hehe, you cheated me out, and I saved some hard-earned money, but my wife has an opinion, and the two places are separated, and there will be problems after a long time. ”
A sigh, I don't know if it's a complaint or a self-deprecation.
"Oh, you're all married?"
"I was born in 71, Shang Rong was born in 70, what year are you?"
"I was born in '78, the same year as the reform and development. ”
"That's it, you're much younger than us, we can only be considered alumni. ”
With a difference of 6 years of graduation and different departments, they should only be regarded as alumni, and it is nonsense to talk about senior brothers.
Ouyang Xuan lowered his head embarrassedly and smiled.
After eating, Huang Yixun hurriedly bought this small order, and then clasped his nostrils and grinned:
"So Ouyang! I will stay with you in the morning to complete the necessary things, you have to go to the second-hand market to buy an old bicycle, and get a mobile phone card, bank card, mobile phone is not available! There is still a mobile phone...... "He chattered a lot.
"But I don't have the money......," Ouyang Xuan muttered in a low voice.
"It's okay, I'll help you put these on first, and then pay me back after Brother Zhang comes and you borrow money from him. ”
Huang Yixun blurted out without thinking, it is estimated that he has done this a few times, and it has been programmed.
"Well, thank you, Brother Huang. Ouyang Xuan smiled.
"No thanks, I'm the leader of your group, as it should be. ”
"Hmm!" Ouyang Xuan smiled.
Back at the station, Huang Yixun drove a red Tianjin Dafa van under the tree.
"That's good, Brother Huang!"
Ouyang Xuan sat in the co-pilot seat enviously.
"Ouch, sizzle... It's hot!"
He was roasted by the sun-soaked car mat as if he were sitting on a brazier.
"Who made you so anxious, I haven't said anything yet, there is a cool bamboo mat on the back seat of the car, quickly take it and put it on, it will be much better." ”
"Good ......"
Ouyang Xuan opened the rear door, took a set of bamboo car mats on the back seat and put it on the passenger seat, and then got into the car.
"Well, I'm sure it's much better, hehe!"
"This kind of broken car has no air conditioning, and you have to roll down the windows to drive, and you won't want this kind of car in the future. ”
Huang Yixun said in a disdainful tone after starting the car.
"Is this the new car you bought?" Ouyang Xuan felt that Brother Huang had only been in the market for two years and was not satisfied, so he bought a car?
"There, this is Shang Rong's first car, he has now changed to a new sedan Xiali, and he will throw this car to me cheaply, but it is convenient to go to the hospital or pull some goods with this car!" Huang Yixun comforted himself.
"Hmm!"
Ouyang Xuan feels that it is convenient to have a car to run a business, and the efficiency will be improved a lot.
……
Ouyang Xuan gritted his teeth and spent more than 5,000 yuan to buy a Siemens slide cover mobile phone, thinking of buying a good one for a few more years and having a pie.
The mobile phone card cost more than 100 yuan; according to the company's regulations, the Agricultural Bank of China card was uniformly issued; they went to the local police station to apply for a temporary residence permit, and they also went to the second-hand market to bring back a 50% new bicycle; and there were some items, and the two of them had a simple meal outside at noon and came back.
When I entered the door, I found that there was still no one at home.
"Brother Huang, won't they come back at noon?"
"Of course, we call this kind of work early and late home, especially in the summer. Set out as soon as the sun is shining and the sun is rising, cool in the morning, and return in the evening when the sun sets. ”
"Oh, I see. ”
Avoid the hottest hours on the road, which is the rule of outdoor work.
The two washed their faces, and Huang Yixin said:
"Ouyang, do you want to rest for a while, I have to take a nap anyway. ”
"Okay, Brother Huang, please please. ”
Huang Yixun went into the small room to take a nap.
Ouyang Xuan felt sticky and smelly, and people knew that they hadn't taken a bath for several days.
"Take a shower first!"
He muttered to himself as he took a soap box and towel and walked into the bathroom.
The bathroom of this house is too small, just more than 1 square meter, a person goes in and turns around and can't wipe the wall with his nose, and the big man can't even close the door when he goes in the squatting pit, no wonder the room stinks, and it smells more than the public toilet in the school dormitory area.
Ouyang Xuan turned on the shower above his head, but the water pipe had no sprinkler head. There is no hot water here, only tap water, so you can only take a shower in the summer.
However, at the noon of midsummer, when the sun is fierce, the water that washes out is hot, and it is still a little hot at first.
He rinsed happily, and although it was easier to be simple than on the road, he could still take a shower. It's just that the space is too small, and when you rub your hands with a hand towel, your elbows are against the wall. I had no choice but to go out naked to the bathroom door and then move.
Ouyang Xuan first covered his lower body and looked out of the balcony and window, the red sun was scorching like a fire, and no matter who was under the sun, they all hid indoors.
Whatever, whoever likes to watch it, let him see it, he let it go, and stood at the door of the bathroom to scrub it......
No matter what, it's much more comfortable to take a shower.
