Zhang Yan didn't say the real reason why she wanted to move out of the dormitory in the end, she just asked Zhao Qingyu to help her see if there were any cheap single rooms nearby that could be rented.

"I'll help you inquire then, and then you can go and see."

Zhao Qingyu replied to her like this, she actually already knew where Zhang Yan lived in the previous life, but she still needed to take a look at the details.

In fact, there are really not many single rooms in this neighborhood, like the houses they build here are complete sets, and there are very few high school students who come out to rent houses, and no family will deliberately build a single room type of house.

However, in the previous life, Zhang Yan lived on the highest floor of a private house, basically similar to a rooftop place, with two small single rooms on it, a yard and a toilet outside, the rent is cheap, the space is quite large, and it is also very convenient to dry clothes and quilts, but the floor is a little high, on the seventh floor.

There must be no elevator in this era, but it is trivial for young people to climb a seven-story building, so Zhao Qingyu went to inquire when he was free from school.

The building was quite close to her house, a little above the three-way intersection, and even closer to the school.

As soon as the landlord heard that someone was inquiring about the compartment on the top floor, he immediately took Zhao Qingyu to see it.

Sure enough, it's almost the same as in my memory, but it's still a little dirty, and there are a lot of sundries piled up in it, as well as cement and the like.

The host repeatedly promised to clean it up in the afternoon and provided some old furniture.

"Uncle, then you can clean up as soon as possible, my classmate may come over tomorrow at noon to have a look, if it's okay, I'll move over the same day." Zhao Qingyu said to the middle-aged landlord.

"Yes, don't worry!"

Before class in the afternoon, Zhao Qingyu told Zhang Yan about it, Zhang Yan was a little excited, and immediately said that she didn't want to wait for tomorrow, she wanted to go and see it today.

So when it was time for the evening activities, Zhao Qingyu took Zhang Yan to the house to have a look, and before going, the two of them brought a bowl of hot dry noodles, ready to eat while walking, saving time.

When I arrived at the place, I happened to meet the landlord who came down to throw away the garbage, and Zhao Qingyu took the lead in greeting the other party: "Uncle, I brought my classmates to see it, has your house been cleaned up?" ”

The landlord looked up and hurriedly smiled: "It's coming so soon, fortunately, my daughter-in-law and I haven't been idle in the afternoon, and we have already cleaned up the house, and I'll take you up to see it when I put this thing away." ”

"It's okay, you get busy first, I can take her up to see it myself." Zhao Qingyu waved his hand and pointed upstairs.

"Okay, you go up first, my daughter-in-law is still doing sanitation on it."

After saying goodbye to the landlord, the two girls went into the stairwell and walked up.

This is a very ordinary private house, the middle is a stairwell, there is a door on the left and right, the first floor is a grocery store, the second floor is the landlord's own residence, the third floor is said to be the landlord's old parents, there are two floors sold to others, the sixth floor is unmanned, the seventh floor is a small single room on the roof.

When she went upstairs, Zhao Qingyu briefly told Zhang Yan about these situations, and the latter looked novel, although the floor was relatively high, she didn't care at all, as long as she could leave the dormitory that suffocated her.

When they walked to the sixth floor, the two of them and the landlord's wife, who was just about to go downstairs, also met, the latter was wearing a blue coat for work, his body was dusty, and there were some beads of sweat on his simple face.

Seeing Zhao Qingyu and them, the landlord's wife was stunned for a moment, then patted the dust on her body, turned around and walked upstairs: "Come on, you guys came just in time, I just finished cleaning." ”

On the seventh floor, there was an iron gate locked on both sides of the rooftop, and the landlady's wife took out the key from her pocket, unlocked one of the doors, pushed it open and walked in.

"Come on, it's all clean, it's still a little wet on the ground, you guys be careful."

"Okay."

Zhao Qingyu and Zhang Yan walked in on tiptoe, and the rooftop outside was also dragged with a mop, and there were indeed many people on the ground, but because the terrain of the entire rooftop was slightly deviated outward, there was a drainage drain in the corner, so there was no need to worry about the problem of water accumulation on the ground.

And some of the clutter outside has been moved to the other side, the whole rooftop fence is very tidy inside, and the landlord has set up a triangular wooden drying rack with a long clothesline next to it.

This is very convenient for both drying clothes and quilts.

"You cleaned it as soon as you left at noon, you can come in and have a look." The landlady's wife stood at the door of the house and greeted the two of them.

Zhao Qingyu walked in front, Zhang Yan followed behind her, the landlord's wife made a way to the side, and the two walked in one after another.

It's really a big change from before, although it's just a very ordinary cement wall, and even the lime powder is not painted, but there is a whole half of the poster on the side of the bed.

The bed is very simple, a wooden plank bed with a width of one meter and five widths, but it is enough for Zhang Yan, and the school bed is even narrower.

In addition to the bed, there are two more chairs, a table and a cabinet.

It's all half-old, but it's not broken, and it can be used again.

The wires, plugboards, and lights next to them are all new, and they were originally installed but haven't been used much.

After looking at the house and looking at the toilet, the toilet is outside the yard and the other corner of the floor drain, the cheapest small tiles are pasted inside, the pool and urinal are there, there are many plasters that have not been used for a long time, and now they have been cleaned and look good.

Zhao Qingyu had already told Zhang Yan about the previous price, it was quite cheap, only fifty yuan a month, and the deposit was one hundred yuan.

Although Zhang Yan's family lives in a remote mountainous area of Y City, their family conditions are not bad, and their parents are relatively open-minded, so they called their parents at noon to say that they were not happy living in the school dormitory and wanted to rent a house outside.

Her father immediately agreed, and sent her money, but he didn't have time to get it yet.

But she still had some money on hand, more than enough for a deposit and three months' rent.

Accompanied by Zhao Qingyu, Zhang Yan and the landlord quickly signed a rental agreement, got two keys, the iron door outside and the two in the inner room, and then happily returned to the school dormitory.

By this time, halfway through recess, most people were either eating in the cafeteria or outside, or in the classroom.

There weren't many people in the dormitory building, and when Zhang Yan and Zhao Qingyu went, there were only two girls inside, one washing their hair and the other sitting and eating instant noodles.

Yu Yuanyuan and Zhang Xue are not there.

When Zhang Yan went back, she greeted the two girls in the house, and Zhao Qingyu stood outside and glanced at the dormitory casually.

Well, it's still as hard and simple as she remembers.

Compared to the school dormitory, the humble rooftop single room is actually very good.

There is at least one single toilet.

The school dormitory, a toilet on the first floor, there are many pools outside the toilet, usually take a bath, wash clothes, brush your teeth and wash your face are in it.

Zhang Yan began to pack her things after saying hello, she didn't have many things, a box of clothes and three quilts.

Zhao Qingyu went over to help her resist two quilts, and the rest of Zhang Yan carried it alone.

Although it is said to be a box of clothes, the box at this time is also a very large and thick canvas bag, with no wheels at all, and it is still very heavy to lift.

Zhang Yan tied the slightly thinner cotton wool to the outside of the box and carried it together.

After the two left, the two girls in the house looked at each other, a little unsure of what was going on.

"Where are your basins and buckets?" As soon as he walked downstairs, Zhao Qingyu suddenly asked.

"I'll come back in the evening to get it, and there's not much left."

Zhang Yan said a little breathlessly.

Everyone they met in the dormitory would cast a puzzled look at the two of them, probably not understanding why they were moving things out at this time.

"Zhao Qingyu!"

Suddenly, a clear male voice sounded behind him.

Although the futon on Zhao Qingyu's shoulders was not heavy, it was inconvenient for her to turn back, and she knew who was calling her when she heard the voice, so she simply continued to walk forward as if she didn't hear it.

Zhang Yan wanted to say something to her, but before she could open her mouth, there were footsteps chasing after her, running to the two of them, and asking, "I just saw that the person who came downstairs looked like you, but I didn't expect it to be you." ”

Zhao Qingyu lifted his eyelids and glanced at Xia Zimo, and said lightly: "Oh." ”

Her cold attitude made Xia Zimo pause slightly, and then he looked at the things on her body again and asked, "Are you ......?"

"I'm going to move outside the school, and Zhao Qingyu will help me carry things." Zhang Yan opened her mouth to explain.

"Then I'll get it for you."

Xia Zimo was about to reach out to take the things behind Zhao Qingyu as he spoke, but the latter refused coldly: "No need, I'm not heavy, you can help Zhang Yan move something." ”

"Huh...... That's not good......"

Zhang Yan politely said twice, in fact, she really wanted a strong boy to come over and help.

Fortunately, Xia Zimo didn't take her politeness to heart, and snatched her pile of heavy things without saying anything.

She breathed a sigh of relief, stuffed the key in her hand into Zhao Qingyu's pocket, and then reflexively walked towards the stairs of the bedroom: "You can help me put things in first, just throw them in, I'll clean up the rest of the small things together." ”

Zhao Qingyu watched helplessly at her and disappeared at the corner of the stairs, and after standing in place for a few seconds, she had to look up at Xia Zimo in front of her and said, "Let's go." ”

In this way, the two carried a lot of things from the school's dormitory building, through the gravel road in the woods, through the school's basketball court, past the cafeteria and the doorman, attracting countless lights on the road, and finally "escaped".

It's a good thing I didn't meet the teacher, otherwise I would have thought something had happened to them.

After leaving school, Zhao Qingyu glanced at her store, still very busy, and her parents didn't know that she had "passed through the house three times without entering".

Carrying things to the house, they met the landlord and his wife again, and they said that they had brought two new brooms and mops, and put them at the iron gate outside, so that Zhao Qingyu could bring them in by the way when he entered.

After Zhao Qingyu thanked Zhang Yan, he led Xia Zimo upstairs.

Although walking alone is not tiring, it is really a bit difficult to climb the seventh floor with a large bag of things.

Xia Zimo walked behind Zhao Qingyu, and several times he wanted to stop talking, wanting to tell Zhao Qingyu to put down his things, and he would just come back and move them up alone.

It's a pity that Zhao Qingyu didn't say a word at all, but when he finally went up to the top floor, he breathed a long sigh of relief: "It's here." ”

Xia Zimo was closer, and he could barely hear her unstable breath.

After opening the door lock, Zhao Qingyu went in and continued to open the door inside, put the cotton wool quilt on the wooden bed for the time being, and then reflexively went out to get the broom and mop resting at the door, and a dustpan.

She put these things in the courtyard temporarily, Xia Zi silently put the things away, and then began to look around.

"Did you rent it at the same table?"

"Hmm."

Zhao Qingyu came in, first sat on the wooden board and rested for a few minutes, and when he came to recover his strength, he helped Zhang Yan make the bed first.

Xia Zimo hurriedly took the big bag containing clothes to the table and put it away, it was all girls' things, he didn't dare to move casually.

As soon as they made the bed, they heard faint footsteps approaching downstairs, and when they went out, they saw that it was Zhang Yan coming.

The latter estimated that he was running all the way, his face that was round and white before was now red, there were fine beads of sweat on the tip of his nose, and the two bangs on his forehead were also wet with sweat and stuck to the side of his cheeks.

She held a basin in one hand and a bucket in the other.

"Whew, I'm exhausted......"

As soon as Zhang Yan came in, she put everything on the ground, there were towels, toothpaste, toothbrushes and cups in the basin, and there were more things in the bucket, soap, soap, drying racks, lunch boxes, and a few dried clothes, and a few packets of instant noodles and oats were also exposed next to them.

"I almost forgot to bring my laundry, and I walked to the basketball court to remember and run back."

"No wonder I'm tired like this."

"Not really...... You also helped me make the bed, I can't wait to lie here and sleep now......" Zhang Yan picked up the towel in the basin and wiped her sweat, and then half lay on the bed and rested for a few minutes.

"It's nice to be able to live in a room by yourself......"

Zhang Yan closed her eyes and muttered to herself.

Zhao Qingyu didn't speak, she got up and walked to the window next to the table, there are no curtains here, but because the floor is very high, and there are no other high-rise houses in front and back, at least there is no need to worry about privacy.

And standing at the window, looking out, there was a half-deserted factory outside, only there were people in the house opposite, and the grass near the house grew half a person's height.

The sunset in the sky revealed an orange light, illuminating half of the sky red.

"It's not early, aren't you going to school?"

Xia Zimo, who was standing at the door, suddenly spoke softly.

"Go, go!"

Zhang Yan hurriedly stood up, because her hands were a little dirty, she and Zhao Qingyu went to the sink in the toilet to wash their hands one after another.

After coming out, Zhao Qingyu gave her the key, pointed to the broom and mop at the door and said, "This is given to you by the landlord, no need to buy a new one." ”

"Hehe, that's great, I saved a dozen dollars." Zhang Yan smiled, "The things in the dormitory have been moved, so I don't have to go there at night, I will go to the supermarket at noon tomorrow to buy a boiling water that heats up quickly, and then buy a small rice cooker." ”

After locking the door, the three of them went downstairs together, and when they passed by the door of Zhao Qingyu's store, they ran into Wang Yanli who came out.

"Huh? Where have you been? I went to your classroom today to look for people who didn't see you. Wang Yanli stopped her in surprise.

Zhao Qingyu laughed: "I have something to do with my friends, and I just came back." ”

"Your new friend......"

Wang Yanli glanced at Xia Zimo beside Zhao Qingyu, then moved her gaze to Zhang Yan, quickly turned her gaze, and her tone suddenly lowered: "Then I'll go to school first." ”

After saying that, he left quickly without looking back.
