Chapter 461 Zhu Xiaobei
"It's just blind practice."
Faced with Zhang Kai's enthusiastic and familiar inquiry, Wang Yan answered very normally, which was the humble words of a Chinese.
Zhang Kai laughed, then saw Wang Yan's appearance clearly, frowned and thought for a while: "I think I saw you this afternoon, are you new here? Live next door to us, are you from the Department of Architecture?"
Wang Yan nodded with a smile: "Yes, you two walked by me before, running for the girl in denim overalls."
"Ah, haha, everyone loves beauty." The two laughed together, Xu Kaiyang casually stretched out his hand and patted Wang's arm, saying: "Let me tell you, there are more wolves than meat here, and you have to take the initiative when you see a pretty girl. Otherwise, you will regret it later. Youth, you have to pretend."
Xu Kaiyang's family is rich, so he doesn't have to think about what will happen in the future, but he is thinking about pretending, and he has the capital. After all, with his background and experience, it is normal for him to have such thoughts. To be honest, he is not a bad person. Even though he made things difficult for Chen Xiaozheng because of Zheng Wei, he didn't go too far. He didn't hit people too hard when he didn't like them. He just showed off his muscles. It's okay not to introduce a part-time job to Chen Xiaozheng, because that is not necessary. You can introduce it or not. In addition, he didn't harm Chen Xiaozheng again and didn't delay him.
To put it bluntly, if Xu Kaiyang really wants to make things difficult for Chen Xiaozheng, he can really refer to school violence. Chen Xiaozheng is a somewhat paranoid and eccentric person. As long as he curses a few words for nothing, beats him every two or three days, and constantly denies, he will be ruined by Chen Xiaozheng. Of course, there is also Chen Xiaozheng who can't stand it, and he is angry from the heart, holding a knife in his hand, and there is another youth campus love suspense story...
As for Zhang Kai, he is just heartless. They all got in by themselves, and their learning ability is not bad. It's really a bit bad to fail a course and repeat a year. But fortunately, it's not high school now, but college, otherwise I don't know where to move bricks.
Wang Yan nodded, without responding to Xu Kaiyang's words, and followed them to the bathroom with a basin. There were many people washing along the way, and they were all attracted by his good figure. Zhang Kai and Xu Kaiyang looked familiar, and they were quite close to each other. They introduced each other intimately along the way, as if they were already good friends at this moment...
Just after entering the bathroom, he saw Chen Xiaozheng, who was wearing a vest with sleeves, walking out with a basin. He nodded to Xu Kaiyang and Zhang Kai, then walked around them sideways and left directly.
The three of them found an empty seat, each with a tap, and stood in a row. Wang Yan turned on the tap and got some cold water: "What's going on? When I came here today, I saw that he was from your dormitory, right?"
"Hey, he's just like that, don't worry about him." Xu Kaiyang said: "Let me introduce myself. My name is Xu Kaiyang, also from the Department of Architecture, one year older than you. He is..."
"Zhang Kai, also from the Department of Architecture. We will all go to class together and graduate together. You will study for four years and I will study for five years." Zhang Kai still had that playful look on his face. There was nothing he could do. This was not a glorious thing. He could only express his indifference by being casual when he mentioned it.
"Stuck down?"
"What?" Zhang Kai rolled his eyes, and then said proudly: "That's because the teachers found that I'm a good seedling, they all like me, and specially let me stay for another year."
Xu Kaiyang teased: "Then do you want to stay for another year?"
"Go... what's your name, buddy?"
"Wang Yan."
Zhang Kai changed the subject very naturally: "How did you train your tendon muscles? Tsk tsk, look at this body, it's not worse than those European and American stars."
Gossip and chatting are a circle, and this is back to the topic. Wang Yan chatted with the two of them in a casual way, while taking a cold shower. He was not the only one who did this. Zhang Kai and Xu Kaiyang also drenched their heads. They were all young and energetic guys, and they were excited by the cold water and screamed. It was cool.
After a while, Sun Mingbo and the other two also came. They were surprised that Wang Yan had already chatted with the sophomore, and then followed suit. Except for Wang Kang who couldn't stand it, Sun Mingbo and Zhou Jianjun also drenched their heads.
After returning to the dormitory and cleaning up, the new students started chatting while lying on the bed.
"Hey, what do you want to do in the future?" Sun Mingbo asked.
Zhou Jianguo said plainly: "I want to find a good job, earn more money, settle down in a big city, and then bring my parents to the city."
"Me too." Wang Kang agreed with this statement: "My sister dropped out of school early to let me go to school. When I came here this time, my parents borrowed money from people everywhere to make up for the tuition. They had to live a good life. What about you?"
After a day of contact, he felt that the people in the dormitory were good, so they would say such big truths. After all, their families are poor, and many people are still embarrassed to say it, because of inferiority.
Wang Yan agreed with what they said. Now the urban household registration is awesome, and many people are desperate to go to the city. As for giving back to their hometown, making their hometown rich, and getting those fathers and villagers out of poverty, generally at this age and this era, those who can make such a great wish are all ruthless people, because they all want to go out.
He smiled and expressed his energetic and silly graduation aspirations: "I study architecture, so I want to build skyscrapers in the future. I want the buildings I design to be built in the center of major cities."
Without the curtains drawn, the light from outside shone in. In the dim light, one could see his hands stretched out in the air, as if there was a huge empire between his hands.
Although it was silly, Wang Kang and Zhou Jianguo were still very envious. The city kids were good, and their goals were so ambitious. They were not like them, who only wanted to make money and let their parents and relatives enjoy life.
"Then you have to work hard. It's really difficult to build your own buildings as you said." Sun Mingbo didn't want to discourage enthusiasm, but just mentioned it briefly, and then said: "I want to study abroad, go out and see the world, and learn more knowledge, and come back to serve the motherland."
Go abroad, Wang Yan didn't say anything, but the two people on the side were moved. Now the topic was found, going abroad. It was mainly Sun Mingbo who was talking. He knew a lot, and it was obvious that he had inquired about it before. Wang Kang and Zhou Jianguo were also supportive, so Sun Mingbo was very happy to talk about it. He gave them a class on the spot and also introduced the situation abroad.
It's normal to want to go abroad in this era, especially in this kind of college, where there are a lot of people everywhere. The three of them were so happy that they kept talking until the middle of the night, and then they couldn't resist the tiredness and fell asleep unconsciously...
Young people, even if they are trapped by reality, are very bold. Wang Yan remembered that there were only two places for government-sponsored students in the entire college, including their architecture department, civil engineering and some other majors, and the competition was quite fierce. Of course, he could only wish them well.
He was happy that he finally got some peace and quiet, and couldn't help but yawn a little. Before coming here, he had been fighting with the excited Wei Lan until midnight, and now he was busy all day. Before, it was not only their dormitory that was talking, but other dormitories were also talking. Because it was still hot at night, they all opened the dormitory door, and the buzzing was really annoying.
With his hands behind his head, feeling the evening breeze blowing in through the window, he gradually fell asleep...
The next day, Wang Yan got up early as usual. He didn't need much sleep, and only three to five hours a day was enough. First, he was energetic, and second, he knew how to sleep. After all, he had been sleeping for more than 500 years, and he was practicing both medicine and martial arts.
He took out the watch stuffed under the pillow and took a look. It was only half past five. He did not disturb the few boys who were sleeping soundly. He took out his shorts and short sleeves and put them on, and changed into a pair of white Huili sneakers. Although Huili has declined now, it is still very strong. It is a shoe recognized by the people. It is not bad.
He took the wallet and threw it into the space. After everything was packed, he left the dormitory and went to the bathroom to wash his face. Then he went downstairs to greet the gatekeeper. In the gatekeeper's reluctant cursing, Wang Yan walked out of the dormitory building with a smile.
He simply stretched his body outside the dormitory building and trotted out of the school. He studied at the School of Architecture, which is located in the Sipailou campus. Not far away is Xuanwu Lake. Obviously, running by the lake is more refreshing than running on the playground of the campus.
It is inevitable that the speed is slower for the first time, mainly because of looking at the scenery along the coast. One lap of 15 kilometers took an hour to finish. After doing two sets of boxing in a quiet place, it was already past seven when I walked back.
I didn't go back to school directly, but went to a bun shop called Good Luck not far from the school.
It was the beginning of the day, especially this place was quite good, many people were eating breakfast. A fat woman with a tied hair, ordinary appearance, but very simple was busy. There was also a tomboy who was a little thin, had short hair, but looked pretty to help.
Wang Yan went into the small shop and shared a table with an old man: "Big sister, give me a bowl of white porridge, two tea eggs, three trays of pork buns, and a plate of pickles."
"Okay." The big sister didn't even turn her head, her hands kept moving, and she directed the tomboy next to her: "Xiaobei, take it."
The tomboy named Xiaobei responded and began to serve the porridge and add pickles quickly...
This tomboy, who else but Zhu Xiaobei. Wang Yan originally planned to go to the canteen for breakfast to feel what the canteen was like. Just when he was coming back, he saw Zhu Xiaobei busy with his sister from a distance, so he came over.
The old man at the shared table smiled and gave a thumbs up: "Young man, you can eat a lot. I was about the same as you when I was young."
"Uncle is awesome." Wang Yan gave a thumbs up in return.
He took a look and saw that the buns were small steamed buns from the south, not big meat buns from the north, and they were one bite at a time. In fact, with his appetite, he couldn't be full even if he ate these. Basically, most of the time, he never really ate enough. Is it for health?
Eating these now is already surprising enough. After all, he is a young man and doesn't work on the construction site. He can always make people marvel. If he eats freely, not once or twice, but every meal, it will be even more shocking. The amount of food he eats on a daily basis is controlled within a normal range of what can be eaten, so that ordinary people can accept it and will not be too surprised or caught to watch the monkey.
"Young man, judging from your face and height, you are not from our area, are you?"
Wang Yan shouted, and gave a thumbs up: "Grandpa, you have good eyesight. My hometown is in the Northeast, and I was admitted to a university here."
No one can stand being praised, so the old man showed off in front of the young man and laughed heartily: "I guessed it, young man, Southeast University is a good university. It's amazing that you can get in. You have a bright future in the future. You must study hard."
"Thank you, uncle."
Hearing the conversation between the two, the busy chubby sister paused for a moment, looked at Zhu Xiaobei who was holding something, and then continued to work as if nothing had happened.
Just when she turned back, Zhu Xiaobei turned back to look at her, then he held the porridge in one hand and the bowl with two eggs in the other, and brought it to Wang Yan's table in a few steps: "Brother, I just heard you You said you are also from Southeast University? What major are you in?"
After thanking him, Wang Yan was appropriately confused: "Yes? I am from the Department of Architecture, and you are also from Southeast University?"
"Ah, yes." Zhu Xiaobei nodded heartily, showing his white teeth: "I am a civil engineering engineer, my name is Zhu Xiaobei, we are from the same hospital."
"Hello, hello, my name is Wang Yan." He looked at her in confusion: "This morning, are you doing a work-study program?"
"No, this is owned by my sister. There are a lot of people in the morning, so I'll come over and help." Zhu Xiaobei went back and carried three drawers and put them on the table: "They are all classmates. I will take care of the business more in the future. Here you go. Discount."
"It's easy to talk about."
The old man at the table said to Zhu Xiaobei again: "Girl, you are sensible, you should study hard and you will be successful in the future. Even if you have hair like this, it is better to grow it, like a tomboy, that is not good."
Zhu Xiaobei rubbed his head and chuckled: "I'm just shaving my head and clearing my mind. Study hard."
"Look, I told you a long time ago that you won't let your hair grow." At this time, Zhu Xiaobei's sister turned around, looked at Wang Yan, the old man sharing the table, and the diners listening to them and said with a smile: "This kid is just stubborn and refuses to listen even after being told several times."
"The old man was just talking casually. It doesn't matter if you don't have long hair. Children nowadays are all about individuality, and so is my grandson." The old man also knew that he was worrying too much, so he waved his hand and changed the subject: "Where are you from? Na? Is this bun shop managed by you two?"
"We are from Hebei Province, and we are the only two left in the family to depend on each other..." Sister Zhu did not go on, she had already revealed a lot up to this point.
This old man is also free, so he has nothing to ask. After all, it's a newly opened bun shop, and the old man most likely lives nearby, so he can just ask around and chat. How could he have imagined that just a random question would lead to such miserable two sisters.
The two sisters are left to depend on each other, that is, their relatives are gone. Looking at the situation now, it is likely that their parents died early. After all, if her parents hadn't been too late, Sister Zhu would have gotten married considering her age. Now they are the only two sisters running the bun shop, which means that it is difficult for the elder sister to find a partner because she carries a burden. So the situation is that Sister Zhu has worked hard for so many years and finally sent Zhu Xiaobei to the university. Then the two sisters came to Jinling together...
Sister Zhu is good, and Zhu Xiaobei is upbeat. This is the answer the old man got. He was silent for a while, then laughed and said: "Little girl, it's not easy for your sister to support you until now. You have to study hard."
Zhu Xiaobei still scratched his head and smiled: "Thank you, uncle." He turned back and continued working.
It was quiet now, and no one spoke. They were all immersed in their own imaginations of the tragic past of the two sisters, unable to extricate themselves.
Of course, we can't let the atmosphere be so silent, because this will be even more heartbreaking for the Zhu sisters. Wang Yan acted like a fool. He looked at the embarrassed old man sitting opposite him with a smile: "Uncle, I just arrived in Jinling yesterday. I have never even been out of my hometown before. I read in a book that Jinling was the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. What's the matter? Can I see the place without paying?"
After saying this, the old man who shared the table got excited and began to introduce Jinling City enthusiastically. He also did not forget to tell Zhu Xiaobei that there were stories about each place. He was very enthusiastic. Some of the people eating next to me also added a few words, and the atmosphere became lively.
While joking, Wang Yan did not forget to eat. After finishing the meal quickly, he greeted: "Pack me three more bowls of porridge, six drawers of steamed buns... and give them to my roommates to take back. Yesterday, they talked about it until midnight, I probably haven’t woken up yet, so I’ll buy some breakfast and go back to chat with my roommate. How much does it cost?”
Zhu Xiaobei looked at Wang Yan suspiciously, trying to find out whether he pitied her in his eyes, but all she saw was depth.
"Huh?" Wang Yan waved his hands back and forth: "Settling accounts? What are you thinking about?"
"Oh, I'm sorry. Maybe I got up early and was a little distracted." She smiled, turned around and started packing things in plastic bags, and at the same time she didn't forget to do the calculation: "The total is ten and a half yuan, you can give me ten yuan, I’ll give you a discount and come back often.”
Wang Yan nodded with a smile, took out his wallet from his pocket, took out a ten-yuan note and handed it over: "Thank you."
"You're welcome, we're all classmates. You don't come here often, so I have to give you a discount." Zhu Xiaobei handed over the packed things, holding the handle of the plastic bag: "It's hot, be careful."
"Let's go."
"Bye-Bye."
Seeing Wang Yan's tall figure wandering away, Sister Zhu whispered in a low voice when no one was around: "Xiao Bei, I've made you embarrassed in front of your classmates..."
"No, sister, you just have random thoughts. Let's make money in a down-to-earth manner. What's the shame?" Zhu Xiaobei said with a smile: "When you have time, you should think about yourself. I'm in college now. You Is it time to find a brother-in-law for me? The one we had when we were back home..."
"Oh, when did that happen? Don't worry about me. Right now, sister, I just hope that you will study hard and be successful in the future, so that I can enjoy the blessings."
"That's for sure, sister. You still don't know me. I guarantee that we two will live in a big house..."
