Chapter 3: The Arrival of Roommates
After putting the trolley box on the bare wooden board on the top bunk, Chu Han turned around and said to his uncle: "Uncle, don't clean up the things first, I'll clean up when I come back later, let's go eat first." ”
"Okay, let's go. "Uncle didn't refuse again this time.
"Do you still want to go back today, if you can't go back today, it's okay to live here, and leave tomorrow morning. Chu Han said as he straddled one shoulder diagonally on his body.
"No, I can rush back today. Uncle seemed very sure when he spoke.
"Well, okay. Saying that, Chu Han locked the dormitory door and walked out of the dormitory building with his uncle.
The right turn from the main entrance of the school is an intersection, and the west side of the intersection is full of restaurants and stalls on the school side. In fact, there are only two more than two next to the school, many restaurants and many Internet cafes, and the two are not independent, and their communication bridge is the students. Internet cafes offer a variety of games, students provide time and money, and the most basic problem of food and clothing falls on the lunch boxes in the restaurants.
Chu Han and his uncle found a small restaurant and sat down, looking around, there were still a lot of people. At this time, a middle-aged woman came over and asked, "What are you eating?"
"What's that?" the uncle asked rhetorically, looking up at the middle-aged woman.
"Green onion cake and rice bowl. ”
"Let's have a green onion cake. ”
"Do you want cold dishes and beer?"
"Let's just make a cold dish, I don't want beer. ”
"Wait a minute, come right away. After saying that, the middle-aged woman walked briskly to the kitchen.
In this way, Chu Han ate the first meal when he first arrived at this place, and although the taste was not eaten, at least it filled his stomach.
"I went to the station. Uncle stood up and said.
"Well, I'll send you there. ”
"No, go back and pack your things, and don't forget to call your mom in the evening. ”
"Hmm. Chu Han agreed.
Uncle flagged down a taxi and left. If Chu Han, who came to this strange city and left his hometown and parents, did not cry because he could still hold on, then his uncle's departure was the last straw that crushed the bridge. Chu Han's tears fell, he lowered his head and hurriedly wiped it, but he couldn't wipe it away, at this time he only had four words to describe in his heart, that is, he was unaccompanied. But I can't cry like this, because I can't cry, I can't find a reason to pity myself every time I encounter setbacks or difficulties, so I can never grow. Thinking of this, Chu Han bit his lip fiercely, and finally the pain overcame self-pity, and the tears were also controlled in his eyes.
Chu Han slowly adjusted his mood and walked towards the school. On the way back to school, he bought all the necessities he needed and calmed down a lot in the process of communicating with the stall owners. I continued to climb six flights of stairs back to the dormitory and put the groceries I bought on the table. Then he climbed up on the kicks that connected the lower bunk to the upper bunk, made the bed, and locked the empty boxes into the cupboard. The box for his clothes was placed at the top of the cabinet, which was his exclusive area. When he got out of bed, he looked at the futon that had followed him from high school, and couldn't help but say, "Brothers, we have to be strong, come on." ”
After tidying up the bed, Chu Han also placed his toiletries, and after everything was settled, he came to the window, looked out, and the entire playground entered his eyes. There were a few pedestrians walking on the football field, and there were only a few people practicing shooting on the basketball court next to it.
Suddenly, Chu Han heard a bang when he heard the door of the dormitory not knowing what was hit, he turned around and looked, and a beautiful woman came in from outside the door, who seemed to be a few years older than him, although there were traces of makeup on his face, but compared to Li Xiao's mother, this bit of makeup was equivalent to no makeup.
"Hello. The woman saw Chu Han in the dormitory and spoke first.
"Hello. Chu Han hurriedly replied.
"You're a freshman too, aren't you?" the woman asked, putting her things down.
"Hmm. ”
"Hehe, I'm Shao Zifeng's sister. The woman couldn't wait to say who she was.
"Shao Zifeng?"
"Yes, my brother, I will share a dormitory with you in the future, please take care of me, haha. The woman smiled and continued, "He went to buy groceries, and I brought his things first." ”
"Oh, then do you need to help?" Chu Han conveyed his kindness to her.
"No, thank you. The woman politely refused. At this moment, I heard someone shouting in the corridor: "Sister, are you carrying that black schoolbag of mine?" ”
"Here I am. Hearing the shout, the woman replied loudly.
"Oh, I thought I lost it. ”
As soon as the words fell, a person came in from outside the door, about 1.75 meters tall, with a melon seed face, black leather shoes, leggings, and a white T on his upper body. The body shape is not out of shape at all, and it is an absolute standard figure. It's clear that this is a handsome boy.
"Hello, Zifeng, my name is Chu Han. Chu Han hurriedly stepped forward to greet his future roommate.
"You're a handsome guy, you're here early. Zifeng seemed to be prepared for Chu Han, who suddenly appeared in the dormitory.
"Well, I arrived at noon, but you're a handsome guy, haha. Chu Han seemed to be affected by Zifeng's speaking style.
"What is handsome or not, just walk on the street and don't block the girls who look at handsome guys. ”
"yes, yes. Where are you from, Zifeng?" Chu Han didn't want to talk about such a topic anymore, so he changed his tone and asked.
"Green City's. Zifeng replied to Chu Han's sudden change of topic.
"It's so far. Thinking about his own journey and Zifeng's journey, Chu Han couldn't help but sigh.
"Well, I got on the train yesterday, but it's all over. Zifeng said a little proudly.
"Zifeng put down the things first, let's go to eat first, and I'll go to catch the train back after eating." It may be that Sister Zifeng interrupted their conversation because she was afraid of delaying the train back.
"You haven't eaten yet?" asked Chu Han.
"Yes. Sister Zifeng said with a smile.
"Hurry up, I won't go out for the time being, I'll help you take a look at the things. ”
"Okay, then thank you Chu Han. Zifeng said and patted Chu Han on the shoulder.
"You're welcome. ”
After speaking, Zifeng and his sister went out. Zifeng's sister put all his luggage on the upper bunk of the upper and lower bunks on the right hand side of the door, which was close to the window, just like Chu Han looked out just now, and the entire basketball court and football field were in full view.
Such a roommate made Chu Han a little surprised, because this person didn't seem to complain, everything would be regarded as normal in him, and he didn't even take it to heart when he took such a long train. Thinking of this, Chu Han sneered twice. The dormitory that had returned to calm once again made Chu Han bored to come to the window and look out, this time he didn't close the dormitory door because he didn't want to make trouble for his roommate with a big bag.
The poplar leaves outside the window began to turn yellow, as if they were preparing for their fall. They spend a hot summer with the trunk of the tree, which they shield from the scorching sun and the path under the tree. But now, they are ready to leave, as if the trunk they are protecting has grown, and they want to make the trunk like a big child to accept the bitter cold winter and the pain that must be experienced in the process of growth.
"Hello, you're here so early. ”
Chu Han, whose thoughts were suddenly interrupted, turned around and looked at the door, where a young man about the same age as himself was putting the sack he was holding on the ground. The boy was very handsome, but his clothes and shoes did not fit in with such a handsome face, and there was even a very obvious patch on his left sleeve.
"Hello, my name is Ye Yulong. The young man saw that Chu Han just looked at him and didn't reply, thinking that Chu Han didn't hear it, so he greeted him again.
"Hello, my name is Chu Han. Chu Han didn't let down the Jade Dragon who greeted him this time.
"This is my mom. Next to the jade dragon stood a woman, who looked very old, but that spirit still did not decay.
"Hello Auntie. Chu Han hurriedly said hello.
He didn't seem to react to Chu Han's greeting, and Chu Han thought a little unhappily in his heart: Why don't you talk to you and ignore others, you are not as polite as our young people at such an old age.
Yulong saw Chu Han's unhappiness at this time, and hurriedly said: "I'm sorry Chu Han, my mother's ears are not very good, once my uncle's family married a daughter-in-law, my mother went to help, and a cannon fell to her side and shook her ears." ”
"Oh, that's right. Hearing this, Chu Han felt that he was really too arbitrary to think of Yulong's mother just now, so his heart was full of guilt, so he began to care about Yulong's mother, and asked, "Why don't you go to the hospital for a check-up?"
"I asked her to go, but she didn't, he felt that there was no need to be old, just be able to hear a little. Yulong explained.
"Then your mother's ears are not good, why don't you let your father come with you?" Chu Han continued to ask.
"My dad had an accident when he was digging coal in the coal mine the year before last and never came out. Speaking of this, tears rolled in the eyes of the jade dragon.
"I'm sorry. Chu Han quickly interrupted his memories and apologized to Yulong.
"It's fine. After Yulong finished speaking, his face turned to the direction where his mother was standing, took his mother's hand and said loudly, "Mom, Chu Han greets you." Chu Han will be my roommate in the future, and we will live together. ”
Yulong's mother walked up to Chu Han at this time, smiled at him and said, "Child, did you come alone?"
"No, Auntie. You have bad ears, if the hospital can take care of it, go and see it. Chu Han also raised his voice, answering Yulong's mother's question while still caring about Yulong's mother's ears.
"Don't look at it, I'm getting older. We are growing crops, we don't have much money, the last time Yulong's father had an accident, the government gave 100,000 yuan, and I still have to keep Yulong to go to college, build a house and marry a daughter-in-law. She smiled happily.
Chu Han couldn't laugh because his heart was deeply stabbed. And what stung him deeply was mother's love, this great mother's love.
Yulong laughed awkwardly when he heard his mother talk about marrying him a daughter-in-law.
"Auntie, my family is also rural. Chu Han was full of respect for Yulong's mother when he spoke.
"Well, okay, the children in the countryside are not naughty. In the future, our Yulong will ask you, he is very introverted and doesn't like to talk, if you offend anyone in the future, you can say something nice for me and apologize to others. I'm just a child, he sometimes screws very much, you can also help me persuade me. Auntie, I beg you. When Yulong's mother said these words, it was as if she had entrusted her child to a big brother of Yulong.
"Auntie, don't worry, I'll help you take a good look at the jade dragon in the future, hehe. Chu Han didn't refuse her.
"Well, I'll bring you some persimmon cakes, and Auntie has nothing to give you. As she spoke, Yulong's mother took out a black plastic bag from her sack.
"Auntie, I don't want it. Chu Han hurriedly refused.
"Here you go, if you don't make Auntie upset. Dragon, bring it to your classmates. Yulong's mother deliberately showed some displeasure on her face when she spoke.
"Yes. Yulong took the persimmon cake from his mother and walked up to Chu Han and said, "Chu Han, you take it." You don't want my mother to be in a hurry, he has a headache when he is in a hurry. ”
"Okay, this way, Auntie, put the persimmon cake here for me, and when the people in this dormitory arrive, I will send it to them to eat, and I will say that Yulong invited them to eat. ”
"You're still sensible, but you're stronger than our Jade Dragon. Seeing Chu Han accept his gift, the smile on Yulong's mother's face instantly returned.
"Hehe, by the way, Auntie, hurry up and make the bed, if you need help, just say it. Chu Han suddenly remembered something at this time and hurriedly said.
"Well, it's okay, you can rest, kid. After saying that, Yulong and his mother cleaned up the bed.
Yulong chose the top bunk on Chu Han's side near the window, that is, he and Chu Han could face head to head when they slept at night. It is estimated that it is also Yulong's mother's choice, so that Chu Han can take care of him more.
Chu Han sat down on the bare wooden bed under Zifeng in order to leave more space in the dormitory for Yulong and them. At this time, another person walked in from outside the door, and the visual inspection of this person was more than 1.75 meters, his body was quite burly, his face was slightly square, and his eyes were open for a quarter.
Chu Han didn't have time to say hello, but he only heard the man speak: "Everyone has been waiting for me for a long time." ”
Chu Han didn't react to his familiar words for a while, but Yulong walked over and said, "Hello, I just arrived." ”
Hearing Yulong's answer, Chu Han couldn't help but want to laugh a little, he thought to himself: Yulong, that is just a funny opening sentence, and they don't really ask you, what are you doing so seriously. Chu Han finally couldn't hold back his laughter, he walked up to his new roommate and said, "I'm sorry, you're late, the bed is gone, haha." ”
"Isn't that a bed, haha. Obviously, this new roommate was not deceived by Chu Han.
"Hello, my name is Xu Chuhan, his name is Ye Yulong, and that is Yulong's mother. Chu Han stopped joking and introduced the people in the room to his new roommates.
"Hello Auntie. Zhang Da said hello symbolically, and Yulong's mother probably didn't hear what he said, but just smiled at him.
Then he turned his head and said to Chu Han and Yulong in front of him: "My name is Zhang Yida, there is no such benefit in the middle, it's easy to remember." ”
"It's still called Yida, hehe. Chu Han joked again after hearing Zhang Da's explanation.
"Whatever you want, haha. Zhang Da seemed to be very indifferent to this nickname.
"Did you come by yourself?" Jade Dragon interjected.
"No, my dad drove me here. Because of the long journey, they hurried back after eating, so that I would not have to go up at night, so I came up by myself. Zhang Da never forgot to show his humor when he spoke.
"Do you need help, my mom and I are almost done. Jade Dragon spoke as he gestured to his bed.
"I don't need help, I'll be able to handle this little thing in a moment. Zhang Da rolled up his cuffs as he spoke.
Zhang Da, who said that he would take action, cleaned up, and he chose Zifeng's lower bunk, where he could not only stand up and look at the playground outside the window, but also have intimate contact with the heating in the house.
At this time, two people came in from the door, and it was obvious that another roommate of Chu Han had arrived, a middle-aged man who was about 50 years old and a person who was about the same age as Chu Han. Although this young man is not handsome, he is very energetic, and his figure is very standard, and he does not have a so-called beer belly. Melon seed face, pointed chin, wearing a pair of glasses, feeling polite.
"Hello. The young man said hello.
"Hello. Yulong still replied so positively.
"Hello. Chu Han also replied.
"Don't do it yet, hurry up and choose your bed, there are only two left, haha. "Zhang Da always speaks so unexpectedly.
"Hehe, no hurry. This is my dad. ”
"Well, I see. Zhang Da said with a smile while busy.
"My name is Mi Guoqiang. ”
"The United States is strong?" Zhang Da suddenly stopped what he was doing, looked at Guoqiang and said.
"Mi Guoqiang. Guoqiang emphasized his name and deliberately said his surname loudly.
"Oh, I thought your last name was Mei, haha. ”
"I think you did it on purpose, haha. Guoqiang smiled after speaking.
"Hurry up and pack your things, we'll talk later. ”
"Hmm. ”
Mi Guoqiang and his father also began to pack up their things, and he chose Chu Han's lower bunk. Chu Han had no place to sit now, so he stood in front of the window. Seeing that Yulong's bed had been cleaned up with the efforts of him and his mother, he asked Yulong's mother loudly, "Auntie, have you eaten lunch?"
"There wasn't time. Yulong's mother patted her clothes and replied.
"Oh, now that your things are packed, you can take the jade dragon and hurry up to eat. ”
"I'll go later, I don't have a watch, what time is it?"
"Three twenty. Chu Han looked at his phone and replied.
"Well, it's almost there, let's go eat at six o'clock, I'm not hungry right now anyway. ”
"Your body matters. Chu Han seemed to see Yulong's mother's thoughts and said.
"It's okay, eat at six, you won't be hungry at night, and you can save lunch at noon. After speaking, Yulong's mother smiled.
"The small restaurant outside is very cheap, and it only costs 10 yuan for you and Yulong to eat. ”
"No, I won't. "Mother Jade Dragon is obviously not going to change her decision.
"It's not for people. Zhang Da suddenly spoke.
"Huh?" Chu Han looked at him suspiciously.
"At noon, I ate green onion cakes with my dad, and there were hair strands in them. Zhang Da continued.
"What you said is true?" Chu Han was a little panicked because he also ate the green onion cake.
"Really. The lady finally returned the money to us. ”
"Oh. Chu Han didn't want to say any more, because now he felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach.
"Auntie, you haven't eaten at noon, eat some walnuts from my hometown. At this time, Guoqiang walked up to Yulong's mother with a plastic bag and said.
"I don't eat it, thank you, kid. ”
"Eat, grow it yourself, it's good. Guoqiang's father accosted.
"Well, thank you so much. As she spoke, Yulong's mother reached out and took out two walnuts from the plastic bag.
Guoqiang gave everyone in the dormitory a few walnuts and went back to clean up his bed.
"Where are you?" asked Yulong's mother at this time to Guoqiang's father.
"Stone City's. Guoqiang's father replied while cleaning up.
"Oh, so do we. ”
"Hehe, fellow. ”
"Well, yes, how did you get here?"
"He came by train with Guoqiang. ”
"Yulong and I are also on the train, and there are a lot of people. ”
"yes. When are you going to go back?"
"Tomorrow morning. ”
"Well, let's go together. ”
"Hmm. ”
"Now the corn is almost ripe, right?"
"Yes, the corn is growing well this year. ”
"yes. ”
Chu Han became less and less interested in listening to their conversation on agricultural issues, but Chu Han did not interrupt them. Because Chu Han knew that if the topic they were talking about now was not here, but on the bus in the city, how much despise would they be from the people in the city. Although Chu Han's hometown is also rural, since he bought a house in the city, Chu Han's father is doing business outside, and he goes back to his rural hometown to live when his mother is fine, because she says that she is not used to it in the city. Once Chu Han has a vacation from high school, his mother will come to the city to live and cook for herself, and Chu Han has been vague about corn and wheat planting.
When Yulong's mother was chatting with Guoqiang's father, the dormitory door opened, and Chu Han's last roommate arrived, and the most intuitive feeling of this person at a glance was that his face was very white, of course, healthy white. Now there was still one more bed, he glanced at it after entering the door, walked to the bunk under the jade dragon without saying hello to anyone, and began to make his bed.
"Hello, my name is Ye Yulong. Yulong was not angry at this roommate's cold attitude.
"Hello. He replied lightly and continued to make the bed.
For this person's attitude, the dormitory instantly fell silent. Except for Jade Dragon, no one else knew for a moment whether they should greet this person or not.
"Can I clean up for you, what's your name?" Yulong was still trying to communicate with the roommate.
"No, Gu Yichen. Yi Chen once again replied to Yulong with very concise words and a cold attitude.
Seeing the current situation, Guoqiang and Zhang Da continued to clean up their beds, maybe they didn't want to disturb the morning anymore, or maybe they didn't want to eat the morning's cold words. The current Chu Han didn't think about Yichen's attitude, but thought about the innocence of the jade dragon he felt. This innocence Chu Han once had, but he couldn't remember when he was discarded by himself.
Yi Chen never looked up again, after making his bed, he took off his shoes and lay down and covered the quilt, although it was almost autumn, but the weather was still hot, he actually covered his whole body with the quilt, including his head.
