"80 yuan."
Lin Yue didn't hide it from them, because there was no point in doing so. After all, this was just the beginning.
Yes, for him, this was just a trivial drizzle, but for the three roommates who heard this number, the meaning was different.
Chen Xiaozheng stopped studying and looked back at Lin Yue, not knowing what to say.
His monthly living expenses are only 120 yuan. His life is so tight that he can't even bear to eat meat. It's better for his classmates to earn 80 yuan in one night?
Xu Kaiyang sat up immediately, put his head out of the curtain, and said with a smile: "Old Zhang, are you kidding?"
The little fat guy over there also came to his senses: "Who are you fooling?"
"Believe it or not." Lin Yue kicked aside the travel shoes that were randomly thrown on the ground, took out his washbasin, towel, toothbrush, etc. from under the bed, opened the door and walked out, leaving the three of them not knowing how to digest it. Roommate of this number.
How much could 80 yuan buy in that era?
A meat bun costs two cents.
A steamed bun costs a dime (five per pound).
A bowl of wontons costs seventy cents.
For students with family conditions like Chen Xiaozheng's, breakfast costs RMB 80, lunch costs RMB 1.2, and dinner costs RMB 1.2. Not counting other expenses, a little savings of 80 RMB can last for almost a month.
There was a power outage in the dormitory and the light was on in the bathroom. Lin Yue brushed his teeth and washed his face. He put his head under the faucet and rinsed it. He wiped it with a towel and put it on his neck. He looked up. Looking at myself in the broken mirror opposite, I stretched my sore and numb neck muscles.
"Lao Zhang, haven't you gone to bed yet?" A classmate from the Department of Architecture walked in with a basin containing stinking football uniforms, socks and a clothes drying rack.
"Just went to bed."
"We have to work hard this year."
"Don't worry, I will try to be first in my grade this year."
"Countdown?"
"That has to be a positive number."
"Just blow it."
Lin Yue smiled, waved to the man, and walked away with his washbasin.
He doesn't know what Zhang Kai was like before, but starting from this year, he will not give up either his studies or his career.
Yeah~
He pushed open the dormitory door, and the light from the corridor poured into the darkened room.
Chen Xiaozheng has turned off the flashlight and gone to bed.
"Lao Zhang, the three of us discussed it after you went out just now and we all agreed that you were bragging."
Who is Xu Kaiyang? He is classmate Zhang Kai's best friend and club boss. For his good friend, good brother, and good club member, he really knows what this guy is going to fart with his butt raised. How can classmate Zhang, who has always been unlearned and unskilled, play with things and lose his ambition? Earn 80 yuan a night? This is simply not possible.
Lin Yue was too lazy to answer him, took off his shoes and rushed to the upper bunk: "It's getting late, go to bed quickly. When I came here today, I saw a nice restaurant. I'll treat you to meat buns at noon tomorrow."
"Hey...the sun is coming out in the west."
Xu Kaiyang turned his head and looked at the face in the darkness on the upper bunk, wondering in his heart, could this guy really make money? Zhang Zhang would occasionally treat him to a meal when he received the living expenses from home, but he would never include Xiao Pang's share in the budget, because he was a famous big eater in the dormitory and could eat Lao Zhang bankrupt in a minute. , Today is a good day, as soon as I open my mouth, I invite everyone in the dormitory to eat. Even if it is just meat buns, it will cost a lot of money.
"Old Zhang, this is what you said." Xiaopang was afraid that he would regret it, so he quickly settled the matter.
Lin Yue said: "Yes, I said so."
Chen Xiaozheng just moved the hard pillow and said nothing.
…
The next day, it was half past six in the morning.
Chen Xiaozheng got up on time and looked up to see that the upper bunk opposite was empty.
Looking at the little fat guy who was sleeping like a dead pig, and looking at Xu Kaiyang who had a lustful look on his face, he picked up the washbasin placed under the bed and left the dormitory to wash up. After washing up, he headed to the playground.
As soon as he arrived at the playground, he was stunned.
On the basketball court near the entrance, a familiar figure moved left and right surrounded by several school basketball players, dribbling like a flying monkey, as agile as a monkey.
Open up!
It's like a dream.
Lao Zhang, who always sleeps until three o'clock in the morning when there is no class, actually wakes up earlier than him. What's even more unacceptable is that he actually goes to the playground to exercise, or basketball, which requires height, physical strength and jumping ability. exercise.
What's even more terrible is that he seems to be playing pretty well.
"Classmate, who is that person? I see that you have been staring at him. Do you know him?"
Chen Xiaozheng turned his head when he heard the voice coming from beside him. A short man wearing myopia glasses and short ear-length hair was looking at him with a smile.
"Who are you……"
"Oh, my name is Zhu Xiaobei, a freshman in the Department of Civil Engineering."
Chen Xiaozheng wanted to ask her if she was a boy or a girl, but after hearing the voice, he finally had the answer.
"That man's name is Zhang Zhang, and he lives in the same dormitory with me."
"Open?" Zhu Xiaobei felt that the name was very familiar. He frowned and thought for a moment and finally got the answer. He clapped his hands and said, "Department of Architecture, open?"
Chen Xiaozheng asked: "Do you know him?"
"I heard from the two beauties in our dormitory that I didn't expect him to play basketball so well."
Chen Xiaozheng said sincerely that you didn't expect it, I didn't expect it more than you did.
"I saw the tall man in the red vest, but the one with No. 9's back is close to him. I heard he is the main player of the school basketball team. The two people wearing the same color vest next to him are substitutes. You can see that they are more than half a head taller. , it actually took three people to suppress him, our school is really full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers."
Zhu Xiaobei's eyes were full of excitement as if he had discovered a new world. On the second day after arriving at school, he was hit by a substitute player on the school basketball team who broke his nose. The opponent thought he was a boy and laughed at him for playing basketball for such a small man. It is overestimating one's abilities.
Now, with one main force, two substitutes, and three talents, it's really hard for them to seal the gap. Retribution really comes quickly.
Chen Xiaozheng ignored her, turned around and walked onto the track, starting his daily long-distance run.
Lin Yue did not notice the arrival of Chen Xiaozheng, and unexpectedly snatched the basketball from the hands of the player wearing uniform No. 9. He made several fake moves to trick the opponent's players into using his old moves. He put his toes at the three-point line, twisted and jumped behind him. Throw the ball out.
Bah!
The ball entered the basket and was caught by the player wearing No. 9 uniform as it fell.
"That's it for today."
Lin Yue wiped the sweat from his neck, walked under the basketball stand, picked up his coat and prepared to leave.
"Which department are you from?" the player wearing uniform No. 9 asked, with an unhappy look on his face.
“The architecture department is open.”
After Lin Yue said this, he put his coat on his shoulders and walked towards the entrance of the playground. When he passed by Zhu Xiaobei, the tomboy scratched the back of his head and smiled shyly at him.
"I'm from Zheng Wei's dormitory. Let's play ball together when we have time."
Zhu Xiaobei was stunned for a while before reacting: "Oh... okay."
Lin Yue went to the bathroom to take a shower and returned to the dormitory. Xu Kaiyang and Xiaopang were still sleeping like dead pigs. He did not disturb the two of them and found two dusty books on the bookshelf, "Fundamentals of Architectural Design" and "Architectural Composition". Armpit leaves the quarters.
About an hour and a half.
After breakfast, Chen Xiaozheng and Zeng Yu walked side by side into the study room of the library. There were only a few people in the room. After all, it had only been two days since school started, and the students had not yet gotten out of their holiday mentality.
"Why is he here?"
Chen Xiaozheng is a self-disciplined person, and Chen Xiaozheng is also a serious person. However, he, who has always been serious, lost his temper twice in a row today.
"Who?" Zeng Yu asked, looking at his profile.
Chen Xiaozheng pointed at Lin Yue, who was sitting in the second to last row.
Of course Zeng Yu knew that person. Last semester, because he failed a class and repeated the grade, the name Kai almost became a joke among the girls in his grade.
"Last year I failed a class and repeated a grade. This year I have to work hard to improve myself."
Chen Xiaozheng did not answer the call because he always felt that the opening was not right. Although he occasionally made jokes, the feeling was very different from before.
"What are you doing standing around, come here." Zeng Yu didn't pay much attention to Lin Yue and sat down in the first row.
Chen Xiaozheng put down the book and looked back a few times at Mr. Zhang who was flipping through the textbook quickly. He forced himself to suppress the tumbling emotions in his heart and focus on his studies.
…
Lin Yue read for two hours and left the study room in the library. He agreed to treat the three of them to dinner at noon, but Chen Xiaozheng refused on the grounds that he still needed to work and study. Lin Yue didn't care and took Xu Kaiyang, Xiaopang, Si The thin-eyed monkey came to the bun shop owned by Zhu Xiaobei's sister and ordered six drawers of buns in one go.
"Xiao Zhang, the vinegar is on the table over there, and there is garlic in the plastic basin by the window. Get whatever you need by yourself. I have work on hand, so I won't greet you."
"Hey, Sister Zhu, you are busy with your business, don't worry about me."
"What's going on?" Xu Kaiyang was full of doubts about the relationship between Lin Yue and the owner of the bun shop. They ate together every day and had never heard him mention anything about the bun shop. Why did he act like a regular customer now.
