Volume 41 "Stowaway"

Originally, the school was closed for a week, but with the uncertainty of the epidemic, this time began to be extended: 8 days, 11 days, 13 days, 17 days...... The ever-changing numbers show us the seriousness of the situation, and more and more students are quarantined in the Eastern District. The extension of the school closure has also directly affected the November holiday. It's a long holiday a year, and everyone will go crazy if they can only stay in a small dormitory. Especially for those who have "families" like Lin Ye and Eric, just a few sweet words can't be appeased for long.

However, compared to us, life is even worse for the shops and vendors near the school, and the closure of the school is equivalent to directly cutting off their financial resources. If they were only closed for a week, they would have survived, but as the time has been extended, they have no hope at all, and these merchants who rely on the mountains are becoming more and more uneasy. For small vendors, it is good to only need to change the location to fight, but for those who rent a storefront, a day of closure is a loss of rent for one day, and in the long run, they will definitely lose all their money.

As the saying goes, there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. Although the school's gate, side door, and small door are closed, a new entrance and exit have been developed, and I don't know which talented student or the outside operator is, and this place that only allows one person to enter and exit has become the most densely populated place in the entire West District. This exit was told to us by the girls in our class, when they learned that there was this entrance, Lin Ye and Mr. Liu's eyes lit up instantly, and they went to verify the authenticity after class that day, and from then on they went out from there at night, and slipped back to class the next morning. Eric and Wawa also occasionally go out there on weekends to visit their two-person world. So sometimes there are only three people left in the dormitory, and in the face of the student council's dormitory, we will try to decorate the dormitory as if everyone is there: turn on Lin Ye and Eric's computers and desk lamps, put half a bottle of drinks and open textbooks on the table, and hang schoolbags or coats on the backs of their stools. Mr. Liu's seat is simpler, just turn on the lamp and put two books, because his seat is usually not very tidy, and he puts a few bottles of drinks that he only drinks one sip at a time, anyway, he is not the same as if he is not there. Sometimes, in order to be more realistic, we will call one or two people in the next dormitory to make it look like there are a lot of people in the dormitory. For this kind of trick, smart people can see the flaws after a while, but after all, I and Da Biao's squad leader and Lao Zhao are also from the student union, and the student union basically said hello and left as soon as the student union entered the door and saw us.

It's almost eleven, and this year there is a military parade for the 60th anniversary of the National Day, in order to take care of everyone's mood of wanting to watch it in time, the school also plans to arrange a unified TV broadcast in the cafeteria. But for us, we would like to be able to go out of school: watching movies, KTV, dinners, overnight stays, shopping, traveling, ...... That's the attitude we should have towards the holidays. I thought I'd be going to spend this extraordinary vacation at school until I got a phone call......

The call came from my aunt, who invited me to her house for dinner on October 1, and finally told me to go with my female classmate. Originally, I wanted to shirk it and tell her that now that the school is closed, I can't get out, but her last words made me swallow the words back, and after hanging up the phone, I quickly sent a text message, and made an appointment with a time and place in the sound of "bang, bang, bang" heartbeat. After class, I took Da Biao's squad leader to the legendary exit for a field trip, there were indeed a lot of people, everyone was very orderly and conscious, and they lined up to go in and out in an orderly manner like a bus. Lao Zhao and Da Biao, the squad leader, and I also joined the team, and after nearly a minute of waiting, we "smuggled" out of the campus. We definitely made the most of this rare opportunity, we ate the long-lost kebabs outside, and then bought some snacks and groceries. Because after all, it is an extraordinary time, and we dare not spend the night outside, so this kind of thing of Internet café night booking still needs to be restrained. Not to mention, there was no one in the dormitory, so we went back to the dormitory just before the student council was about to start routine checks.

On the eleventh day, I got up early, although I was tiptoeing to wash, but when I returned to the dormitory, they had already woken up: Eric rubbed his sleepy eyes and turned on the computer to continue watching TVB, Lao Zhao was lying on the bed playing with his mobile phone, and Da Biao's squad leader was packing up his things and preparing to "smuggle" home with me. For my early riser, they know very well, and naturally they can't avoid a "blessing".

I parted ways with Da Biao's squad leader after crossing the "ferry", and I took the train to find my female classmate at the same table, and he took the bus home. Probably because of the National Day, even under the haze of the epidemic, the streets are still bustling, the outdoor electronic screens of commercial buildings have begun to play the live broadcast of TV stations, and pedestrians on the road will stop and watch in twos and threes.

Because our school is closed because there are cases of infection, other schools in Cha Ha Chong still come and go freely, but the entry and exit control may be stricter than usual, and the link of visitor registration has been increased. October 1st in Cha Ha Chong was not a sunny day, and it looked gloomy as if it would rain at any time. Half an hour later, I finally arrived at the entrance of her school, and found that she was already waiting there, and after saying hello, I walked quickly to her. After meeting, I took a taxi and went directly to her aunt's house. Of course, Eleven will definitely get stuck in traffic, and boring conversations are inevitable. Maybe something is wrong with my mentality, I don't dare to face her since I saw her, although we will still talk about school and Jialiu along the way, but I always feel a little different from before.

For example, when I was studying, I couldn't memorize the text, and I often remember the annotations at the bottom of the text. The location of my aunt's house belongs to the former, although I haven't been there once or twice, I wanted to show it in front of the female classmates at the same table, but this time I got out of the car and I was a little confused. Following the remaining fragments of memory, I walked in the general direction, and when I reached the fork in the road, I unconsciously stopped, and then pretended to wait for her, and when she "overtaken" had a new direction, I quickly followed to make up for my memory.

The one who opened the door was the son of my aunt's family, and this kid and I can still play well, after all, there are only three common languages for boys: games, anime, and guns. Except for the fact that I was a little reserved when we first met, I am now a good playmate, and I am even about to start calling each other brothers. The sister-in-law sat in the living room waiting for the parade to begin, and the general secretary was speaking on TV. My aunt was already in the kitchen and began to prepare lunch, when the smell of meat wafted out of it. As soon as she heard that we were coming, my aunt hurriedly came out to greet us, warmly beckoned us to sit down, and asked us to watch TV for a while.

The 09 military parade was the first overall appearance of the 07-style military uniform, watching our children wear brand-new standard military uniforms in the majestic military song in front of Tiananmen Square with neat steps, my blood began to boil again. Following the beat of the drums, the legs began to shake regularly, as if I was back on the playground of last year's East End.

The lunch dishes were very rich, and in order to take care of my taste, my aunt also specially prepared braised pork. During the meal, she vigorously put the two of us in the bowl, and my female classmate at the table was busy saying that she was losing weight and didn't like meat, so the meat in her bowl turned to my side. Braised pork has its own recipe in each family, but even if the taste is different, I can still eat the taste of my hometown. During the dinner, my aunt asked me about the recent situation of the school, and I finally confessed to the fact that the school had been closed. My aunt was naturally surprised when she heard it, she was more concerned about whether I could eat well than the epidemic, and she put meat in my bowl again as she spoke.

My aunt and my brother-in-law work in a shopping mall, so the holidays should be the busiest time, and after lunch, my sister-in-law went to the mall first. For this reason, we did not bother too much, and after playing with her son for a while, we also planned to leave. After several attempts to keep my aunt no longer insisting, she packed all the braised pork left in the pot at noon and gave it to me, and filled three jars. Refusal was never my forte, and I ended up leaving my aunt's house with a big bag full of meat. I had planned to go shopping on the street with my female classmate, but by this time there was already rain in the air, and she was not interested, so I sent her back to school first, and then went back to the dormitory myself.

It was 4 o'clock in the afternoon when I arrived in the dormitory, and when I entered the door, I saw Lao Zhao playing the role of a zombie on my computer to "scratch people". Seeing me come back with a bag of things, Lao Zhao naturally smiled mysteriously: "Why are you back?" I thought I was alone tonight. After saying that, he began to scratch at the screen again.

"How can I let you let you spend the holiday alone? On the hour of the evening? I lifted my bag as I spoke.

"Yo, my aunt is good to you! Look at what you eat and take. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, Eric?"

"I answered Wawa's call and went out."

I put my things down and watched Lao Zhao "tickle people" on the side. Lao Zhao may think that this is my computer, and since I am back, I should return it, and he is ready to quit at the end of the game.

"Let's keep playing"

"No, I've been playing all day, tired!" After that, he climbed into bed and got ready for bed. After a while, Lao Zhao's snoring began to sound. I sat in my seat and went up on campus for a while, looked at the state of my classmates across the country, and then turned on the news to review today's military parade video. Maybe my voice is a little heavy, I don't know when Lao Zhao has woken up, and when he heard the familiar "March of the People's Liberation Army", he still came to his senses, and got out of bed to watch it with me.

In the evening, Lao Zhao bought some beer, and the two of us ordered takeout, and then made dinner together with the braised pork at noon.

"I'll ask if Eric will be back in the evening." I picked up my phone and started editing text messages.

"You don't have to ask, you definitely won't be able to come back."

"I'll go, what about running into a bed?"

"Check the chicken feather bed, we all went home, so we just went to the dormitory."

"Let's go?" Taking advantage of the strength of the wine, my list also grows.

"Let's go!"

"Let's go!"

So another "smuggling" operation began, and for the sake of insurance, the two of us deliberately went to ten o'clock, stuck in front of the dormitory door with my aunt after the student union checked bedtime. I walked through the small door again and ran to the Internet café......
