Boarding life in January In order to solve the problem of board and lodging in unemployment, I finally found a XX women's cram school; this school is specially set up for adult women who are out of school, and the monthly board and lodging fee is 18 yuan, and the miscellaneous fee is 1 yuan; I chose a subject, the tuition fee was three yuan, and I paid a total of twenty-two yuan, which was cheaper than renting a house by myself, so I signed up and listened to the lectures of teachers who were about as good as my students. Of course, the meaning of my drunkard is not to listen to lectures, but to care about the dormitory: but the dormitory is also simple enough!It's not a very square room, with two beds spread out, and the volume is a bit reluctant.Facing two or two windows, you can bask in the sun in summer, but it is gloomy in winter; there are so many bedbugs that you are afraid of people.As for the food, the table is big and two bowls are small, and twelve people sit round the table.There are four dishes and one soup on the table: soybean sprouts, chicken feathers, everything, which is very suitable for the vegetarian movement; there are three or five slices of meat floating in the soup, which is really "thinly sliced ​​​​and spread shallowly, the kitchen lady Fei Time; I dare not open the window to look at it, for fear of being blown into Taihu Lake by the wind."The breakfast will start to come out after eight o'clock, and three of the four dishes are from the two meals of yesterday's lunch and dinner, which can barely cover the bottom of the basin; the only fresh meal is half a deep-fried dish. The juniper is old, but if the short eight sections are divided among twelve people, at least four pairs of chopsticks will always fail.

The homework in the school is very sloppy, but the training is very serious. Usually, the school director should not use too much bath water, turn on the lights late and turn off early, and don’t need to pump water when urinating. And San's tireless sea.As for the hot water, I have to spend my own money to rush outside the tiger stove, but my aunt refuses to come out, making trouble at the discipline and education office. It must be the students who eat "cards". Who is Huang Ma and the principal? The wife is a relative!And she also serves as the dean's ear god, whichever student eats out more often, the dean smiles at her more.

One Sunday night, in order to win the favor of the school director, I specially invited Mies Wang to a relative's house for dinner;On the way back to school, the rickshaw driver was not doing well, and a tire burst on the way, and he was put on hold for a long time. It was 9:03 when he arrived at the school, and the school had just closed the iron gate.We quickly jumped out of the car, waved our hands and opened it sincerely. Lao Zhang had already put the key in the keyhole, and the school director jumped out to stop him: "The rule here is that you must return to school before nine o'clock, don't you know?" We were busy I rushed forward to explain, and pulled the rickshaw driver to testify, please forgive me once.

"There's no forgiveness," he shook his head in Zhenjiang Mandarin, "you must not come in tonight; you can go to any place to sleep overnight! If the iron gate can be reopened, the school will be in great trouble." "Where are we going?" The timid King Mies almost cried. "It's okay to open a hotel." The school director turned around with a long face. We were in a hurry, climbed on the iron gate and shouted: "Sir! Forgive us this time! We don't have enough money around us to open a hotel. Also, we have to take a bath at night, and all the clothes we need to change are locked in the dormitory..."

"Tell me where you put your clothes and banknotes, and I'll fetch them for you." There was nothing to redeem us, so we had to pass the key of the suitcase through the iron door; and soon he took out our waistcoat and shorts. "I don't have any socks yet!" Miss Wang shouted. The school director really took the trouble, and ran in to get us two pairs of socks. "And me... sir..." Miss Wang suddenly thought of changing the menstrual belt, and it was not good for the store to ask the school director to go again, so he swallowed. We were embarrassed to go back to our relatives’ house that night, and wandered on the road in the middle of the night, before going into a small hotel when martial law was about to come.

Another time, there was a happy event at the headmaster's family, and all the teachers and students in the school gave gifts; we were freshmen, so we were impolite if we didn't send invitations.That night there were only three people left in the dormitory, Huang Ma and Lao Zhang were called to help, and dinner was not served until 8:30.We saw that it was not a problem, so we were going to go out to eat out with our own pockets, but we just saw that the clock was not far from the closing time of the school gate, and remembering the pain of being rejected by the iron gate last time, we dared not move our feet anymore.

"Let's eat some biscuits." Mies Wang suggested. I don't ring.Stand up and shake the thermos, only empty.We just stayed through the night hungry. The next morning we rolled up our bedding, but the director of the school had no intention of holding us back. We couldn't find the board money, and urged us to take out the servant's reward.I haven't had enough food and sleepless nights for a month, so I went out for a physical examination. Sure enough, I lost five pounds and my face was yellow.
