On Saturday afternoon, as usual, Su Mingyu took the No. 119 bus to Jinlin Garden after finishing her work in the school library. She had been a tutor for this family for most of the semester.
After knocking on the door for a long time, there was no response. Finally, the neighbor told her that the family had gone on a trip. The hostess of this family was Yuan Zhi. She was usually very nice to Su Mingyu, and the money she gave her was better than the average family. more.
Since the other party was not at home, Su Mingyu had no choice but to return, walked to the gate of the community and made a call at a public telephone booth. This call surprised Sister Yuan because she had called Su Mingyu's dormitory before, and the person who answered the phone at that time was not Su Mingyu herself, but that person said he would notify Su Mingyu, so Sister Yuan didn't pay attention.
This result made Su Mingyu a little angry. Although she usually communicated less with the people in her dormitory, she had not offended anyone at that time. She didn't know why the other party secretly concealed the news.
The girls' dormitory at Suzhou University is for six people per room. Su Mingyu doesn't know who answered the call. She probably won't get any results even if she asks. After all, she still has some idea of her popularity, so she can't help it. , this is the price that must be paid to make money.
"It would be nice to have a cell phone."
College students are always a group of people who pursue fashion and trends. Most of the students around them have a mobile phone of their own. The brands are also various, such as Nokia, Motorola, and Sony Ericsson. Among them, Motorola v8 and Nokia n95 are the most used. The two phones were launched almost at the same time, one in July and the other in May.
These two mobile phones became popular throughout the campus not long after they were launched, but the high price of four to five thousand couldn't help but deter Su Mingyu.
It would be false to say that Su Mingyu is not envious. However, Su Mingyu does not have a good relationship with her family. She does not have many friends at school and her life circle is relatively closed. For her, things like mobile phones are really dispensable. Originally, she also I have thought about buying a mobile phone of my own, and I have already chosen the model.
Nokia 6120, the price of more than 1,000 yuan is still a bit high for her, but it is not unaffordable. This phone does not have powerful functions or gorgeous appearance. It is better than the compact body, and it only costs more than 1,000 yuan. The price is extremely cost-effective.
This encounter made Su Mingyu make up her mind to buy a mobile phone of her own. Over the course of one semester, she worked hard to save a sum of money, not much, more than 4,000 yuan.
When Su Mingyu walked to the door of the mobile phone store, she paused. One thousand six hundred yuan was equivalent to one-third of her savings. It was not easy to save this money. She had not been home once this semester, except for everyone. Apart from going to the place where my father Su Daqiang works every month to get living expenses, I spend the rest of my time working.
Since the eldest brother Su Mingzhe needs to study in the United States, the monthly living expenses provided by the family are not much, four hundred yuan, and one hundred yuan a week. This money is only enough for daily meals, and each meal cannot exceed five yuan. Yuan, but Su Mingyu is a girl, she can't just eat, she has to spend some money on other places.
Therefore, strictly speaking, the money given by her family was not enough for her expenses, but she did not ask for more, because even if she asked, her mother Zhao Meilan would not agree. Fortunately, she has always insisted on working and studying, earning 0.00 yuan every month. Scattered part-time jobs can earn an income of seven to eight hundred yuan.
As the first semester of her freshman year came to an end, she finally saved a huge sum of money that she could use at her own discretion.
It is easy to spend money but hard to make money. A mobile phone will consume one-third of her savings. Su Mingyu lingered in front of the mobile phone store for a long time.
After a long time, the shopping guide in the mobile phone store also noticed the figure outside. Seeing the attire on Su Mingyu, he probably was a student. Maybe the family environment was not good. They had seen a lot of this kind of people, but they only teased her a little. sentence.
After a moment, Su Mingyu gritted her teeth and stamped her feet, making up her mind.
'Buy it! In the future, I will work more part-time jobs. '
Su Mingyu never wanted to experience what happened today again. When she walked into the mobile phone store, she ignored the salesman's sales and went directly to the Nokia counter. It took her less than five minutes to buy the first product in her life. A mobile phone Nokia 6120.
There are a total of six people in their dormitory, and the other five have mobile phones, two Nokia n95, one Nokia n82, one Sony Ericsson p1c, and one Motorola q8. These mobile phones cost four to five thousand, and the worst one costs three thousand.
Compared with them, although the mobile phone in Su Mingyu's hand was cheap, she had earned the money for the mobile phone through hard work, which gave her a sense of accomplishment. It turned out that it was so refreshing to spend the money she earned.
'No, this is the first and last time I will be willful. I still have to save money to go abroad. I can't spend money like this in the future. '
After walking out of the store, a long-lost smile appeared on Su Mingyu's face. It did hurt her to spend the money, but she had no regrets.
Su Mingyu looked up and saw that the sky seemed bluer and the street scene that she was accustomed to seemed more beautiful. She smiled happily. After this 'luxury' shopping, a long-suppressed mood was suddenly released. Su Mingyu has never felt so comfortable in the past six months.
However, such a good mood did not last long before it was ruined. Su Mingyu usually would not go back to the dormitory during this time. Although others did not know what she was doing, but because of her absence, some topics that were usually inconvenient to discuss , they will discuss it at this time.
When Su Mingyu walked to the door of the dormitory and was about to go in, the words coming from inside made her stop immediately.
"What do you think Su Mingyu is doing all day long without being seen?"
"Who knows, maybe it's a man who took care of her."
The person who said this sentence is very familiar to Su Mingyu, Zhang Yanfang. She and Su Mingyu have similar grades. They are direct rivals in scholarship applications. The reason why she said this just now is entirely because she received the news and the scholarship application has been dusted off. settled.
Although the student union does not directly participate in the evaluation of scholarships, the usual scoring is also very important. Su Mingyu disappeared as soon as get out of class was over. The club and the student union never participated. Why did Su Mingyu beat her to get the scholarship?
Zhang Yanfang didn't care about the small amount of money when she got the scholarship. She didn't care about thousands of dollars. What really mattered to her was her father's reward. Her father promised her that if she could apply for a scholarship this semester, she would get her pocket money in the future. Double the money, so she won't have to think about it for a long time if she wants to buy new clothes, bags, and shoes in the future.
"Fangfang, what did you hear? Su Mingyu isn't as miserable as you said, right? She doesn't pay more than five yuan for every meal. Have you ever seen such a poor mistress?"
