Early the next morning, Liu Zhilu took the bus and set off, and after getting off the bus, he entered through the north and southwest gates and went to the bookstore to apply for a job. After explaining his intentions, the cashier of the No. 1 store told Liu Zhilu that the No. 2 store in front of him was in charge of recruitment.

At this time, Liu Zhilu knew that this bookstore had a branch, but the two stores were only about 20 meters apart, and it may be the closest branch in China.

Liu Zhilu found Lao Yang in the No. 2 store, and Lao Yang led him to the staircase, and then told him in detail that the first month's salary was 1,080, regardless of food and accommodation, but he could apply for the school canteen sun card, and he could usually eat in the school canteen.

The job is to organize and take care of the books, be responsible for cleaning the store, find books for customers, deliver books, and pack and deliver books.

After Lao Yang finished speaking, he asked Liu Zhilu what was the problem, and Liu Zhilu said that there was no problem. So, Lao Yang asked for a copy of Liu Zhilu's ID card and told him to come to work at two o'clock in the afternoon the next day.

Liu Zhilu agreed, and went out to think about finding a rent. As he walked to the vicinity of Yannan Park, Liu Zhilu saw a small advertisement for a bed for rent posted on a tree. This is exactly what Liu Zhilu needs, he dialed the phone and made an appointment with the landlord to see the house.

Liu Zhilu arrived at the appointed place, went in to take a look, and found that the environment was even worse than the bed he rented for the first time. However, this is in the middle of the community, it is very quiet, and he is not picky.

After paying the rent of 600 yuan, Liu Zhilu only had less than 600 yuan in his pocket. finally got through the first month, and when I was paid, I was told that I had to press half a month's salary.

Liu Zhilu explained the situation to the landlord, and owed 200 yuan in rent for the second month, and asked his colleague to help him charge a meal card of 100 yuan. He thought he would be able to survive the second month.

But he didn't expect that because it was the first time he had to stay in the basement with a very hot and dry air from the central air conditioner all day long. He wasn't used to it yet, and he felt hot and dry all day.

At the end of the second month, Liu Zhilu had a fever and a cold. He had the worst cold he'd ever had. He had to advance 300 yuan to Lao Yang to buy medicine. After one day the fever subsided, but the next day it started to burn again, and it took a week of repeating itself before his high fever completely subsided. But his hoarse voice had been broken for two weeks, and he had a severe cough for nearly a month, and his bed was almost collapsed when he coughed.

This may have something to do with the environment in which Liu Zhilu lived, the mosquitoes in the room where he lived were very ferocious, and he once bitten sixty or seventy times on his knees on the edge of the mosquito net overnight! And when he opened the drawer of the table, it was full of small cockroaches! In this way, he was infected with a virus that was difficult to deal with for a while, and it made his fever and cold unprecedented, and it took him a month to fully recover.

After recovering from his illness, Liu Zhilu often fought against the ferocious mosquitoes in Zhongguancun. Of course, he is against the use of mosquito coils or mosquito spray, because this will generally kill those weak mosquitoes, leaving the mosquitoes with strong physique, and their offspring will become stronger and more violent towards people.

He advocates physical mosquito extermination, and of course he does not use electric mosquito swatters, which seems unfair to mosquitoes. It's too difficult to shoot the mosquitoes in Zhongguancun directly with your bare hands, they are very alert, they react quickly, after biting you, you are about to shoot it, it flies away, leaving you with only a burst of itching.

Liu Zhilu finally figured out a volley shooting down method, that is, when he saw a mosquito approaching him, he saw that he opened his palm and quickly slapped down. Mosquitoes that are hit will usually be shot down to the ground and faint or stunned for two to three seconds. He took advantage of this time gap to catch the mosquito, quickly disarmed it and threw it out of the window, and he felt very happy and full of accomplishment!

Fighting against viruses and mosquitoes, Liu Zhilu felt that these were nothing. The greater impact on his soul was when he was mopping the floor in the bookstore in the morning, he was trampled by customers while dragging it, and he had to drag it back and forth, endlessly, endlessly.

In the end, Liu Zhilu proposed to Lao Yang that he only mop the floor at night when there were few people, and only sweep the floor in the morning, and Lao Yang agreed to his suggestion. That's how he felt better.

It is also inevitable that you have to pull a small cart to pick up or deliver books. This has the greatest psychological impact, especially when you meet beautiful girls on the road. In this case, Liu Zhilu wants to dig a tunnel! In fact, other girls didn't pay attention to him at all, except for a few who often went to the bookstore!
