Class is about to start, and Lin Ye also went back to the dormitory, but he just came to get the textbook, and Mr. Liu is still a dragon who can't see the end. According to the past practice, a hearty dinner before the start of school is inevitable, and perhaps we all know in our hearts that as time goes by, the days when we get together after graduation will only become less and less, so we must grasp the present. After a short meeting of dormitory members, Da Biao squad leader and Lin Ye determined the place where we ate, during which Lao Zhao has always strongly recommended continuing the "space fish", but after all, because I had just eaten this reason, I and Da Biao squad leader unanimously vetoed.

Eric and Wawa are still living together outside, and they have no plans to move back to the dormitory for the time being, and the rented place is not far from the school, so we took the opportunity to invite them to dinner to send him the textbooks for the new semester and the daily necessities he has named. There are many residential buildings near the school, except for the two newly built campuses, which are high-rise buildings, the others are basically old houses in the 80s of the last century, which can make people think of the glory of the old industrial base in Northeast China at a glance. The hard-working and kind-hearted people are close to the university, and except for a few elderly families who are not very mobile, the rest are dismantled and rented to college students like Eric and Wawa who want to experience cohabitation. And the rent collected can pay off the mortgage of the new house, which is really a win-win livelihood.

According to Eric's text message, Lao Zhao and I finally found their love nest in a residential building that was about the same. It was Wawa who opened the door, and she immediately showed her sweet smile and happily invited us in. Wawa's smiling face was accompanied by a pungent stench, which I thought was the musty smell of an old house, which is often seen in my house during the rainy season. But Eric's love nest is even more stinky, and I think it should be good to ventilate. I briefly looked around their house, which was a symmetrical structure with a living room in the middle, a room on either side, and a small kitchen and bathroom. According to Eric's financial ability, they naturally can't afford the rent of such a suite independently, so they can only share a room with others, and the object of sharing is Ah Wei and the two of them.

There was a little garbage on the floor in the living room, and Wawa hurried to get a bucket and a broom. Eric walked out of their room rubbing his sleepy eyes, and immediately felt a lot more energetic when he saw me and Lao Zhao coming. Lao Zhao and I both felt that Eric seemed to have lost a lot of weight in the past month or so, and he was also a lot haggard, and it seemed that the life he experienced was not as good as he imagined.

"That's a lot of books. Thank you two. Eric thanked us, "Next time, please enjoy the chicken thigh rice!" ”

"Dale is all renovating, I don't know if there is more." I said.

"Yes, the bread...... Is there anything else? Eric immediately changed his words when he saw my gesture.

"I don't know, Lao Zhao and I either bought food from the third canteen or the back market during the summer vacation, and we haven't been there for a long time."

"What's the smell of your house?" The outspoken old Zhao said what I thought.

"Hey, hey, Ah Wei's dog is pooping and peeing in the house every day. Thieves are disgusting! ”

It dawned on me that it was no wonder it smelled so bad. Eric also seemed to be full of resentment, and as he spoke, he led us into their own room, trying to make us breathe in as little urine as possible from the living room.

Their room was not very large, with a double bed in the middle, and the quilt was neatly folded, and Eric's habit in the bedroom was still the same. There were two suitcases on the ground, one of which Eric usually used, and the other pink one that was presumably a doll's. Eric's computer sits on a nearby desk, with several drink bottles and drinking glasses next to it.

"What do you usually eat? Do you want to eat with Ah Wei and them? I asked curiously.

"It depends on the situation, sometimes I cook my own noodles, and sometimes I eat a hot pot together. I ate instant noodles last night. "The rent consumes most of their living expenses, so they naturally have to save more on food. Looking at Eric's thin body, we were embarrassed to use the "space fish" to stimulate him again. This time, the dormitory had to have dinner again, because the more people naturally shared the cost, Eric and Wawa could finally improve their food.

"Eric, look at you again, don't be too tired at night!" Lao Zhao said with a wicked smile.

"Well, tired!" Eric replied with a smile, and Wawa on the side still maintained the smiling face she had when she first met us. Although life is harder than in school, they seem to be very satisfied, and the daily firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea make their relationship more solid.

When Lin Ye saw Eric in the evening, the first thing that came out of his mind was: "Brother, you should be more leisurely at night!" ”

We chatted about our summer vacation life while drinking, and when we heard that Lao Zhao and I had passed the theory test and were about to take subject two, Lin Ye was a little envious and began to plan to take the driver's license. Lao Zhao showed off the new players drawn during this holiday to Lin Ye and Da Biao's squad leader from time to time, constantly arousing their desire to play. Da Biao's squad leader told us about his emotional experience and interesting stories about the holiday. Eric kept complaining about their roommates while showing us the convenience of renting off campus.

After that night, we officially started our junior year, and Eric still lived with Wawa outside the home, rushing to school every day during class and returning home in the evening. Later, at Wawa's strong request, they also got a puppy, and I could tell by the photos shared on everyone that they were having a good time.

Usually there are only me, Lao Zhao and Da Biao squad leader left in the dormitory, and if it is a weekend, it will feel like a summer vacation. Just when Zhao and I thought that such days would continue, less than two months later, Eric moved back to the dormitory.

After asking, we finally know that love is beautiful, but without bread, it is difficult to move an inch. Because of the pressure of rent, Eric and Ah Wei are already living in embarrassment, and the landlord feels that as the weather gets colder and colder, they should also pay the right price to offset the heating bill. In this way, the last straw crushed the four camels, and when the rent was due, Eric and the others had to go back to bed and resume their normal college life.

"Where's your dog?" I seem to care more about an animal that has nothing to do with me than Eric.

"I'm sick and I'm dying." Eric stared at the computer screen and said expressionlessly, "The dog dealers must have cheated them!" ”

"Then Wawa is all sad to death?" I asked again.

"Who's to say it isn't."

"Where did you throw it after?" Lao Zhao asked.

"She wouldn't let me throw it, and then I went to the park to dig a pit and bury it, which makes me tired." Eric was still staring at the screen, but there was already some excitement in his tone.

Living together for three months allowed Eric to fully experience the joy of living in a dormitory and how low the cost of living in an ivory tower is. I thought that I could enjoy freedom in a rented house and experience the joy of life of washing and cooking by myself, but I didn't expect that I needed to worry about a piece of pickled radish all day long, and the roommates in my team were not as tacit as our group of random matches. But then again, this kind of experience is not something that every college student has, and more importantly, there are some things that you can only understand if you really experience them. When you leave school, why not?
