Think carefully and fear: roommate

Xiao Lihua, his girlfriend at the time, a fierce girl, was of average appearance, with a good personality and a good character, but it was really not a good match for Dongfang Ling.

It can only be said that the two are "true love", the kind of brother and sister.

Later, Dongfang Ling broke up with her. I didn't see how sad the two of them were.When Dongfang Ling was walking on thin ice in her senior year, not only did this sister not make trouble, but she also stood up to support her ex-boyfriend, although it had the opposite effect.

By the way, he was mediating this matter because the breakup was ruined, and I secretly drank with the remaining 19 brothers in our class.

Dongfang Ling's class notes have always been our magic weapon.In the first two semesters of freshman year, because of his advanced math homework, many people in our grade really failed.

It's a little embarrassing to say it, but I get a lot of benefits by providing copies of his notes and homework at the end of each semester.

Why not ask him directly?You guys really think I'll give them a chance?

Ha ha.

"Brother, to be honest, all the money on your card plus the 3 yuan is not enough for four years of living expenses?"

"Not enough. But I don't need to work part-time during the semester, and work part-time during summer and winter vacations, that's enough."

I really can't do some private work, that's enough.

"Stop all your current jobs, study hard, and get a scholarship." Dongfang Ling sneered, "Brother, anyone can do things like washing dishes, serving dishes, and posting advertisements as promotions. Leave this opportunity to Can those fools who don't know how to study well?"

He pointed to his head.

"If you have the ability to use this to make money, do you still need to use your hands and exert your physical strength? Isn't it good to enjoy college life leisurely?"

"You're right." I nodded, "You're right, I didn't think of this."

I stood up and was about to go out. Dongfang Ling saw it and became anxious.

"Why do you still want to go?"

"I don't have anything else to do today. I earn more money every day I work."

"I'll go! Don't go TM. Are you really so short of money?"

"It's really lacking."

"How short?"

I took out my special passbook and showed him my four-digit savings.

This is the first time I saw Dongfang Ling's expression of doubting life.That little expression is really super cute.

"How can you be so poor!"

"Why can't I?" I was condescending, and patted him on the head, "Dongfang, tell me, what do you want me to do, why do you hold me back from working part-time?"

He laughed dryly.

"Brother Jun arranged the horror show after 11 o'clock today, come with me."

"Are you afraid of horror movies? Don't be funny, do you watch less horror movies?"

"It's a curse. I was scared once before, but this time it's a big screen projection. Can you accompany me?"

I sat back on the chair again.

"The Grudge scares you? How did you do it?"

"There is a scene where the wall in my house just rang when the movie was playing the part where the wall rang."

He put on a half-smile, and said "haha" twice.

"I'm on the scene." I nodded, "Okay. But what's the benefit?"

"Do we both still need it?" Dongfang Ling pretended to be shocked.

"need."

"Okay, okay." Dongfang Ling sighed, "I'll give you the tutoring job I'm looking for, okay? 50 an hour, two hours a week."

"Huh? Are you so generous?"

"Aren't you poor?"

"I am poor, but I don't need you to be poor."

"No." Dongfang Ling shook his head, "I receive four wages a month, so I don't need to work in the first place, and I annoy the children, so fucking stupid."

I totally agree with that, really.Children are really annoying.The tutoring job that Dongfang Ling gave me was not bad. The girl was quite well-behaved and a bit shy.I made up lessons for her for more than a year, and she later recommended it to her classmates.

In the next three and a half years, I really didn't have a job other than tutoring.

Let me talk about the final result. When I graduated from undergraduate, after I paid off the tuition loan, the account balance was five figures.

Generally speaking, Dongfang Ling's plan to rely on scholarships to support himself is a success.

My biggest regret in the four years of my undergraduate course was that I didn’t get the first class in the first semester, and in the end I lost the national scholarship.Dongfang Ling won a grand slam scholarship just as he planned.

In addition, over the past four years, my account deposits have risen instead of falling, thanks to the second plan proposed by Dongfang Ling: spending sharing.

The sharing economy is very hot now, but don't forget the year when he proposed this plan, his thinking is considered advanced.

The two of us agree that a person's expenses are nothing more than two kinds of material and spiritual.

Mental expenses, he is far greater than me. He never frowns when he spends money on songs and books.

Don't say I'm shameless, things like CDs and books are recyclable resources, he will spend the money if he has me or not, and he will be idle after enjoying it, I don't use it for nothing.

Besides, it takes up all my space, anyway, I feel at ease anyway.

Material expenses are mainly food and use.

Dining together for two actually saves money.Usually, the staple food refers to rice or noodles, because the staple food provided by the cafeteria is rice because of the convenience of operation.

Dongfang Ling’s food intake is not too big, and he is from the Central Plains, so he really doesn’t care about rice. The rice amount of 1 yuan and 5 yuan is not enough for him, and 2 yuan is too much. I eat more than him, and 2 yuan is for me. , a little less, every time I buy 2 yuan and 5, I will throw some away.

For dishes, our needs are just the opposite. I need quantity, and he needs variety. He needs to order four dishes every time he makes a meal.

It just so happens that he and I are both vegetarians.

reason?It has no taste, and it is easy to stimulate the special needs of individuals. It is wise not to touch it.

By the way, every time Dongfang Ling explained why he was a vegetarian, he would give a high-sounding reason that it was to protect the environment.

Do you feel that the internal logic is not tight?Yes, it's really not close.

But please don't argue with him about it!

Take the trouble, really, don't waste your time and your mind.

Back to the topic, Dongfang Ling subconsciously observed my observation of eating patterns. He thought it was feasible for us to share meals, so he proposed it.

As it turns out, it works, cutting our food bills by almost half.

Expenses on usage are mainly reduced by stocking up on discounts.

Supermarkets always have activities to buy as much as you want and get something as a gift. Every time the two of us get a discount, we start stockpiling crazily. Once the quantity is divided between two people, it is not enough. Later, Wu Ning saw that the state of our two "living" was pretty good Well, I also joined, which made Wu Ning's mother very happy.

Aunt Ge has provided us with great help.With her assistance, the three of us basically never missed a discount.

Wu Ning is a local, and his family bought a house for him. Once Dongfang Ling and I encounter large-scale discounts on vegetables, we buy them and go straight to Wu Ning's house, and go directly to his house to start a fire on weekends.

You know, cooking by yourself really saves money, Wu Ning is happy for me to go, he doesn't know how to cook, and he doesn't mind Dongfang Ling eating his rice.

The revolutionary friendship of the three of us became stronger and stronger under this mode of living.

In fact, I have always resisted the kindness of others.I don't want others to feel sorry for me, and I don't want to accept charity from others.

Dongfang Ling's cost-sharing plan is of course extremely beneficial to me, but it doesn't mean much to Dongfang Ling.In addition, the plan he put forward was very rough at the beginning. The idea of ​​sharing meals was formed. He had no idea about using it at all, and the specific implementation plan was added later.He just realized how poor I am, and now he has a plan.

Although I was very tempted by this proposal, I didn't want to accept it at first, so I asked him why.

"Dongfang, your proposal is a bit tasteless to you, why did you propose such a proposal?"

"You are too poor."

Without looking in the mirror, I don't know the expression on my face, it won't look good anyway.

Dongfang Ling was probably frightened, realized that he had said something wrong, and began to explain himself at length.

"Brother, don't get me wrong, I want to help you not because I pity you, but because I really don't look down on you. I'm not rich myself, so I can understand how you feel."

Believe me!

Young master, you are neither rich nor poor, okay?Forget about the money your parents and stepfather gave you, and the church will give you money to support you, an atheist godson.

What do you think the church wants?Probably too much money, huh, huh.

"I'm not the kind of person who is full of sympathy. The homeless people on the street are poorer and more pitiful than you. I never look at them."

Doesn't God preach love?Didn't he say that he loves everyone in the world equally?

Your godson is unqualified!

"I want to help you, because I think you are good."

Compliments are useful at all times, and everyone eats them, including me.

Dongfang Ling was only one step away from me at that time, with a sincere face.

"Brother, do you know that you are excellent? Your excellence is visible to the naked eye. People are social, and they instinctively like and get close to excellent people. You are really outstanding, very special, I am super I like you, so I want to help you."

After Dongfang Ling finished speaking, he subconsciously glanced to the lower left and scratched his hair.

It's been a semester, and his hair has grown.

It was only after I observed him carefully later that I realized that he only made these small movements when he was thinking of words. At that time, I was so real that I didn't know how fake this person was, so I really believed it.

A bigger killing move is yet to come.

"Besides, seeing an outstanding person in a predicament, it's quite normal to lend a helping hand without threatening yourself, isn't it?"

He smiled very naturally, especially
