Fang Yichen used the day to deal with some chores, and after the books and transportation were in place, she was ready to go to class on the morning of the third day.

Most of the courses she took this semester were in the morning, because she found that the number of students in the afternoon classes was full, but the number of people who took the morning courses was relatively small, and it was probably that everyone couldn't get up in the morning, so they were all crowded into the afternoon.

She doesn't care, she wakes up early every day, so it's just right to take classes in the morning, and she can do something of her own after nothing else in the afternoon.

"Wait a minute, I want to talk to you."

When Fang Yichen was about to go out, Catherine walked out of the room again, and still held a small notebook in her hand, as if there was really something important.

"What are you talking about?" Fang Yichen was a little curious.

"We're going to live together in the future, and we still have to stipulate some things first, or it's not good if anyone disturbs anyone in the future." Catherine's tone was a little heavy.

Fang Yichen nodded, understanding what she was going to say, and was willing to sit down and discuss this issue, but now is not the right time, she is going to class.

"I'm sorry, I have class in the morning, I have to leave immediately, if I have something, wait until I come back from class at noon, or let's make another appointment to see when everyone is free." After she finished speaking, she changed her shoes and opened the door and left.

"Hey, why are you like this, what time is it, what class are you taking?" Catherine angrily threw the notebook in her hand on the sofa.

Fang Yichen went downstairs and searched for the address on the class schedule, and since then she has started her years-long study life in the United States.

In the morning, there were two classes, one public class and one professional class, and by the time school ended, it was already 12 o'clock at noon. She touched her stomach and walked briskly to the apartment.

When she got back to the apartment, she began to make lunch for herself, and Catherine, who was still lying on the bed in the room, heard the movement and hurried out to negotiate with her.

"Now you have time!" Catherine asked with an unkind face.

Fang Yichen looked at his watch again, "I can give you fifteen minutes, after which I need to eat and take a nap, and I still have classes at two o'clock in the afternoon." ”

"Okay, fifteen minutes is enough." Catherine sat down on the sofa, and then took out the notebook she had sorted out in the morning and explained it to Fang Yichen one by one.

"The common areas are cleaned by two people per person for a week."

Fang Yichen nodded, no opinion on this article.

"In addition to paying their own rent, the two of us also have to share the water and electricity bills."

There is no problem with this, Fang Yichen nodded.

"Then there's the fact that I don't like you cooking in your apartment very much, it's seriously affecting my life, and I hope you can give up this behavior." Catherine got to the point, "And I need to get enough sleep every day to have energy for the day, so hopefully you'll be quiet when you're in the apartment in the future." ”

This Fang Yichen couldn't promise her.

"I think since the school has set up a kitchen in the apartment, it means that she allows the students to cook by themselves, and if you don't let me use it, I can only say that you have seriously affected my life. As for the issue of keeping quiet, I very much agree with what you just said, and I also have to get enough sleep every day to have the energy to study. So shouldn't we accommodate each other? You need to be quiet in the morning, I need to be quiet at night, I have to go to bed at 10 o'clock every night, can you guarantee that there will be no movement after 10 o'clock every day? ”

"Oh my god, you go to bed so early?" Catherine looked at her like a monster.

Fang Yichen smiled, "I still think you get up too late every day, in our country, only some kind of animal that is fattened to be slaughtered will live such a heartless life." ”

She is scolding people around the corner, but for foreigners, this way of speaking is too obscure for them to understand.

So the negotiations between the two broke down, except for the first two agreements, the following issues did not want to accommodate anyone, and the result was that it remained the same.

Fang Yichen doesn't care how Catherine lives, anyway, she is still studying and living at her own pace.

On the weekend, Fang Yichen received a party invitation, a welcome party organized by Chinese students, although Fang Yichen came to the United States a few days in advance, but still received an invitation.

She looked at it, it was Saturday night, she hadn't heard of the location, and if she went, she would have to inquire about the location.

"Senior Sister Xia, is this address far away from our school? I just came here, I don't know much about the surrounding area, and besides, doesn't the safety manual say that the United States is not very safe after dark, so remind us not to go out when it gets dark. To be honest, she didn't want to participate in this kind of communication, but it's not a good thing to be too withdrawn when she is out of the house, and it is very clear that this party is to welcome them as new students, and it will be very shameful for her to say no.

Xia Xueran is a third-year student at the Conservatory of Music, and has been in the United States for three years.

This time, she came over to send an invitation to Fang Yichen, a senior girl.

"You don't have to worry about this, Senior Li will drive us over tomorrow. There are a lot of people in us, and there are cars to sit in when we come and go, so there is nothing dangerous. "Xia Xueran is a flute learner, has a very good temperament, and speaks very softly.

"So, do I need to prepare something?" Fang Yichen decided to participate after a little hesitation, but it was the first time he participated in this kind of party, and he didn't know if he had anything to say, so he asked vaguely.

Senior Sister Xia is also a wonderful person, and she immediately understood what she wanted to ask, so she carefully explained to her the origin of the funding for this kind of international student party.

It is mainly divided into two parts, one is the place and the other is the food, of which the place is found by the embassy, which also indirectly shows that the state supports foreign students to engage in this kind of activity when they do not often engage in this kind of activity, mainly to increase the cohesion and sense of belonging of the Chinese. Therefore, the embassy will provide a place for Chinese students to party.

However, the country will not take care of everything, and the eating and drinking at the party still need to be solved by the international students themselves.

"This time because it is a welcome party, so the food and drinks at the party are borne by the seniors, you can just go over and participate, if you feel embarrassed, you can bring some small gifts over, such as baking a pizza by yourself, or baking a few egg tarts or something, the main thing is that everyone gets together and has a lively and lively scene.

But when you become a senior sister, you will have to AA system when you go to the party. Because there are a lot of people on our side, it will not be much to share with everyone, about 3~6 US dollars.

Don't think it's a burden, you know, this kind of opportunity doesn't come often, we can only have two such parties a semester, spend a few dollars to meet some seniors, you won't suffer. Xia Xueran saw that Fang Yichen was very sincere, so she told her a little more, and it was also her experience.
