Volume 73 Summer without air conditioning

After signing up, Lao Zhao and I began to learn theory in the dormitory, preparing to take the driving school test before the test.

At the end of July, it was really hot, especially at noon, when the temperature was at its highest, the sun was constantly forcing the heat into the room, and the air in the dormitory was not very circulating, resulting in a particularly stuffy dormitory. Although it is not as hot as the dog days in Jiangnan, it is quite uncomfortable for a person. At home at this time in previous years, my mother had already helped me change into a mattress and pillow, the remote control board of the air conditioner was also equipped with new batteries, and the refrigerator cabinet was stuffed with all kinds of ice cream and ice cream.

Now, there is no air conditioning in the dormitory, not even a fan, but I still wear a thick quilt on my winter mattress, the only difference being that I have changed the freshly washed sheets and quilts. It's not that I'm lazy, but it's the first time I've spent the summer vacation away from home, and I'm completely inexperienced, at least my sheets and covers are washed and changed frequently.

After my repeated requests, Lao Zhao finally agreed to accompany me to the market behind the school to buy some summer supplies, and I planned to get a set of mats and pillows to improve the quality of sleep at night. In this way, as a little cabbage, I came to the market with Lao Zhao.

The electric fan is an "important household appliance" that must be prepared this summer, and we don't consider the kind of small fan plugged in USB at all. While the boss was still trying to recommend his little fan to us, we fell in love with the desktop fan in the corner. Seeing that the size was just right to put on the table, and the wind was also very strong after testing, the two of us didn't even cut the price and bought one for each person.

Then I started looking for a mat topper, but after looking for a long time, there was only one, and when I was asked what size I wanted, I was dumbfounded, so big? Or is it that big? I had no idea what was a few meters, and in the end I chose to give up.

On the way back to the dormitory, we met a stall selling roast duck on the oven, and the aroma of roast duck made us both stop, Lao Zhao and I coincided with my thoughts: "Roast duck is beer, life is happy!" So I hurriedly asked the boss for two, but the boss was a serious person, and the roast duck that had not been roasted must not be baked, so we waited on the side. However, the aroma of this roast duck is so tempting that passers-by stop and the roast duck in the oven is fully booked. After five minutes after the boss said, we finally waited for the moment when the roast duck was baked after nearly half an hour. Everyone rushed up and gathered around the boss, Lao Zhao was suddenly anxious, and I was a little unhappy: Obviously, the two of us came first, and we waited the longest, so there had to be a first come, then there would be.

The scene was a little chaotic, and the boss felt a little embarrassed, so he beckoned everyone to line up in a good voice, saying that everyone had a share, and then motioned for the two of us to go first. The boss picked the two largest roast ducks, removed the iron skewers used to fix them, and then quickly broke the roast duck into small pieces with his bare hands and wrapped them in oiled paper. The roast duck that had just come out was already fragrant, and now after such a meal by the boss, the aroma of the meat was also stimulated.

Watching the boss's extremely seductive operation, my mouth was full of saliva at some point. I swallowed a little and noticed that some of it was already flowing out of the corners of my mouth, so I hurriedly turned my right arm and wiped it with my sleeve.

After taking the roast duck, we heard the stall owner selling watermelon on the side start to shout: "The watermelon is quack, quack!" ”

"What kind of sweetness is this quack?" Lao Zhao was very curious.

"I don't know, buy a try?" I suggested.

"It's too big to eat, next time." Lao Zhao looked at a watermelon as big as a face plate and said, "Quack Sweet ......"

At the school gate, we met a car selling twist flowers again, and Lao Zhao couldn't help but buy a few, thinking that they would be used as staple food in the evening. With that, we went back to the dormitory with big bags and small bags in both hands.

As soon as I entered the house, the fragrance of roast duck overflowed the entire bedroom, Lao Zhao and I were almost unable to tame the gluttonous worms in our stomachs, I quickly swallowed saliva and assembled the electric fan, and took advantage of this gap Lao Zhao also went to buy a few cans of beer.

Mr. Liu's stool was once again used as a dining table by us, and I pressed the first gear switch of the electric fan, and a cool breeze came to my face. With a "whoosh", Lao Zhao opened the can, and then handed me the beer. Although the roast duck tastes fragrant, it is really a little greasy, and the duck fat is even soaked in oil paper and stained on Mr. Liu's stool, but the refreshing beer can just help us get tired.

With the fan, our dorm room has become very cool, especially my keyboard and mouse are no longer like washed in water, and the probability of a blue screen on the computer is much smaller. However, we are overlooking an important issue: lights out. That's right, although it's a holiday, the uncle still pulls the gate on time every day to turn off the lights, and the electric fan has become an ornament.

There was no fan, so it was a little hot in an instant, and the mattress on the mattress was like a big sponge, constantly absorbing the sweat that was coming out of my body.

Lao Zhao was also a little too hot to stand it, opened the balcony window door, and the bedroom door, the convection of the air made the temperature of the bedroom drop slightly, and it was no longer so stuffy. At the beginning of my freshman year, my college teachers often reminded us of thefts in the dormitory, and notebooks and cash were often stolen items. It's summer vacation now, the dormitory is just me and Lao Zhao, our computers are on the table, and the living expenses are all in the cabinet, in case I really get into a thief, then I don't even have a place to cry?

Just when I wanted to tell Lao Zhao about his worries, he stacked the six stools in the dormitory two by two, and the top two were placed diagonally, just the height of a person, and if someone came in, it would make a noise. I had seen this "Dragon Gate Formation" in other dormitories before, and it was only now that I understood the true function of this "Formation".

That night I entered the dream with apprehension, and at one or two o'clock in the second half of the night I was awakened by a small sound, and I looked at the door by the light in the corridor, and the formation was broken! I was a little scared, after all, there are a lot of jokes on the Internet about "the thief was found to have killed the owner", and cold sweat came out of his back from time to time and soaked into the bedding.

After a while, Lao Zhao dragged his tired body back to the bedroom, and then rearranged the formation, and my hanging heart was also put down.

"What's wrong with Lao Zhao?" I asked softly.

"It looks like the twist is bad,!" Lao Zhao climbed onto the bed with difficulty, "The old man is so uncomfortable, give me a meal of vomiting." ”

"Would you like some hot water? I should still have some in my thermos. I asked with concern.

"Forget it, sleep." After speaking, Lao Zhao lay down.

Seeing Lao Zhao lying down, I didn't say anything anymore, looked at the "Dragon Gate Array" at the door, and I fell asleep again.

In the next few days, we slept in a "dragon gate formation", and I slept more and more thoroughly day by day, and the two of us were usually the last to go to bed. However, the "Longmen Array" greatly increased the obstacle to getting up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, and Lao Zhao felt troublesome, so he simply opened the door to sleep in the nights when he came to the end.

Regarding my worries, Lao Zhao said: "There are no tricks to win." I'm just going to scare the thief away with my mind. ”

At first, I was a little worried, but when I woke up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, I found that many dormitories were sleeping with open doors, and my heart gradually "grew".
