I just want to study hard

Chapter 132 War of Heating
At this time, Xiao Yuan didn't know that the so-called conversation was equivalent to an informal interview.

Get off the bus and walk into the community.

Xiao Yuan saw a water chestnut seller on the side of the road, and approached it unconsciously.

Water chestnuts, also called horseshoes.

The skin is hard and purple, but the meat inside is as white and tender as fresh milk.

Peel off the skin with a knife and eat directly.

It has a crisp taste and is one of Xiao Yuan's favorite 'snack vegetables'.

Although, most people eat it as a fruit.

But in fact, water chestnuts do belong to vegetable roots.

It can be regarded as the same ancestor as potatoes, yams, taro, etc.

Looking at the water chestnuts still stained with wet mud in the plastic bag, Xiao Yuan asked politely: "Grandma, how do you sell the water chestnuts?"

The old lady shook the bag, smiled and said kindly: "It costs 10 catties for 3 yuan, and you can count as 4 catties if you want more."

Xiao Yuan thought for a while and said, "Well, I want 20 yuan."

"Success." The old woman took out a crumpled bag and began to stuff it into it.

For 20 yuan, a total of 7 catties was given to him, which was regarded as care.

Xiao Yuan carried the bag and arrived home slowly.

"Why are you back so late?" The eldest sister who heard the movement came out with Zhang Xiao.

Both of them are hungry, just waiting for him to come back for dinner!

Xiao Yuan smiled, lifted the bag in his hand, and said, "I bought water chestnuts."

Bang bang, bang bang~
Zhang Xiao, who was peeling water chestnuts, had no choice but to turn around after a burst of noise.

With a speechless expression, he complained: "If this continues, we will have to change the pot in a few days!"

"No." Xiao Yuan took a cut water chestnut, biting it like a hamster, and said seriously: "I specially chose the special pot for the cafeteria."

"..." Zhang Xiao looked at him in surprise.

Before, he was still wondering why the pot looked a little strange.

One piece, looks nothing like the pot at home.

After reminding him now, Zhang Xiao discovered that it was for the cafeteria.

Thinking back to what I saw in the cafeteria, isn't it exactly what the eldest sister is cooking?
The master's movements of shaking the spoon every day are only a little gentler than hers.

It seems that, as he said, it will be no problem to use it for a few months.

It's just that he was already prepared? !

"Hey, you are getting more and more scary." Zhang Xiao was speechless.

Suddenly, I realized that the only pure person in this family was myself, which was terrible.

Bang!
The frying spoon hit the edge of the pot, the signal came.

Throwing away the knife and water chestnuts in his hand, Xiao Yuan stuffed the remaining water chestnuts into his mouth in one gulp.

"time to eat."

"Oh, here we come."

Today's dishes look very rich, and the presentation has also improved.

There are fried shrimp, garlic sprouts fried meat, tomato scrambled eggs and garlic lettuce.

The staple food is mung bean soup and steamed buns.

A bowl of clear soup, only the boiled mung beans can be seen at the bottom of the bowl.

Put a spoonful and a half of white sugar on it, and after eating the steamed buns, swallow them with a gulp.

Clear heat, remove dryness and relieve summer heat!
However, it's winter now, and it seems that there is no need to relieve the heat.

"By the way, the property downstairs has posted a notice today, and the heating fee will be paid." Zhang Xiao bit the steamed bun and took a big bite to pick up the vegetables.

Today's dishes are very suitable for his appetite, and the elder sister's cooking skills have improved a lot.

It seems that the days to come are blessed.

He Yu asked casually, "How much?"

With a part-time job as a tutor, the elder sister with a monthly income of more than [-] has a lot of money.

Xiao Yuan also turned to look at him, waiting for him to speak.

"The total is 1672 yuan." Zhang Xiao.

He Yu stopped picking up the vegetables, and stared at him as if he didn't hear clearly: "How much?"

"One thousand six hundred and seventy two yuan, not bad."

Zhang Xiao's repetition made He Yu understand that she did not have auditory hallucinations.

The heating fee of more than 1000 yuan, what are you kidding?
What are they burning, gold? !

After eating, soak the bowl in the pool.

Zhang Xiao took the two of them to the bulletin board and saw the notice on it.

In the heating season, the heating price per square meter is 22 yuan.

Seeing this price, He Yu was in a bad mood.

Every heating season in their family, they only need to pay about [-] yuan for heating.

One winter passed like this.

How come here, the heating bill has suddenly become so expensive.

More than 700, which is enough for the total payment of their family over eight years.

"Well, at home, the boiler in the back unit burns itself, which is very cheap."

"This is unified heating, and it is charged according to the standard of the heating company."

"That's too expensive, which heating company?"

Seeing He Yu's angry expression, Zhang Xiao was a little bit paralyzed.

She doesn't want to go to the heating company and have a theory with the other party, right?

Big sister can do this kind of thing.

"It doesn't matter, everyone pays the same anyway."

Zhang Xiao quickly looked at Xiao Yuan and asked, "Idiot, how much do you pay?"

Xiao Yuan smiled and said, "I'll pay..."

"One thousand, no problem."

Zhang Xiao took the lead, and then said to the eldest sister: "I will pay five hundred, and my room is also very big, sister, you can pay the rest."

He Yu glanced at him and said, "Am I worried about money? Such a fee is not reasonable at all, do you understand that it is not reasonable?"

"Someone has to step up and do something about this situation."

"If they are allowed to charge indiscriminately like this, everyone will just hand over their hard-earned money in vain."

"I don't believe that the cost of the heating company will exceed 10 yuan..."

Seeing that she would continue to talk, Zhang Xiao stepped forward to pull her: "Sister, let's talk when we go home."

Sensing Zhang Xiao's gesture, Xiao Yuan also stepped forward to hold her arm, "Sister, it's too cold outside."

He Yu, who looked angry, held back the anger in his heart.

Shaking off the hands of the two, he ran into the building door with big strides.

Seeing her disappearing back, Zhang Xiao wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Idiot, it's all up to you later."

"What?" Xiao Yuan still didn't understand.

Doesn't it mean that the charges are unreasonable, and you need to ask the other party for a theory?
This is nothing, right?

"Hey, what am I expecting?" Zhang Xiao was tired, so tired.

With these two people, what was his wrong connection that he thought of coming to share the rent with them.

Isn't it nice to live in a dormitory by yourself, or in a hotel room opposite the bakery? !

According to the senior, the sound of fierce fighting can be heard almost every day inside.

Zhang Xiao is also very curious, the battle with live ammunition...

What is it like to scream when you are stabbed?
Back home, Zhang Xiao heaved a sigh of relief when he didn't see the eldest sister in the living room, thinking that the matter had just come to an end.

But then, he heard the angry voice of the elder sister in the room: "Your fees are unreasonable. I want to complain to your leader."

"When will the leader be here, I will go to the Consumer Association to sue you, you belong to..."

Unable to support his forehead, Zhang Xiao found Xiao Yuan beside him was still laughing.

Crazy, really crazy.

Go find a hotel tomorrow, let's live apart, there is no need to discuss!

He Yu's protest ended in nothing.

No one cared about her complaints at all, and the eldest sister was silent for several days because of this.

The heating bill was still paid as scheduled, and the eldest sister originally wanted to protest by refusing to pay.

But under Xiao Yuan's rhetoric that "it's so cold, I will freeze and get sick".

The eldest sister chose to compromise and pay according to the ratio of 2:1:1.

Xiao Yuan paid 836 yuan, He Yu and Zhang Xiao each paid 418 yuan, exactly 1672 yuan.

Five days before the agreed heating time, the heating in the room began to gain temperature.

This made the elder sister's complexion a little better, and she no longer feels sullen about being alone.

The property owner came to carry out waterproofing and exhausting. Like a curious baby, Xiao Yuan stood by and watched the master operate.

Finding that he was interested, the master talked to him about the magical function of this little 'screw'.

After the master left, Zhang Xiao asked teasingly, "Idiot, what did you learn after watching it for so long?"

Xiao Yuan smiled happily and said, "It turns out that a screw with a pointed head is called a self-tapping screw, and a screw with a flat head is called a screw."

"..." Zhang Xiao shook his head speechlessly, and went back to his room with his book.

Life continued in an orderly manner, and the school's experiments did not make much progress.

Xiao Yuan's courses are progressing rapidly, he has finished studying this year's courses by himself, and put part of the time wasted in the laboratory into the library.

A lot of reading has brought him closer to his goal and broadened his horizons and thoughts.

Originally, the impetuous state of mind also returned to calm after reading.

It was another busy Friday, and Xiao Yuan, who walked out of the library, was reviewing the knowledge he had acquired earlier in his mind.

"Xiao Yuan, junior." Zhang Yi, who had been waiting for a long time at the door of the library, waved to him.

Walking forward side by side, Xiao Yuan was a little curious: "Why doesn't senior sister go in?"

"I've just arrived, and I have something on my mind. If I can't see it, I won't waste my seat."

Hearing what Zhang Yi said, Xiao Yuan nodded in agreement.

Since you can't see it, leave it to those in need. This kind of thinking is correct.

Speechlessly rolled her eyes, Zhang Yi didn't want to discuss EQ with him.

Take out the manuscript you have finished and hand it to him.

"What is this?" Xiao Yuan didn't answer, but turned to look at her.

Zhang Yi shook the notebook in her hand and said, "The conversation between us that day, I made it in the form of an interview conversation, take a look."

But Xiao Yuan continued to ask: "Why do you want to make it an interview?"

So where exactly is his focus?

Zhang Yi was tired from lifting, and it seemed that he still couldn't catch it.

Somewhat annoyed, he put down his hands and said, "What else can I do, of course it's published on the Xiaonei website!"

"Publish?" The smile on Xiao Yuan's face gradually disappeared, "Can I not do this?"

Zhang Yi was a little surprised, but also a little worried, and asked, "Why?"

"Publishing on Xiaonei.com will benefit your studies and future employment."

Xiao Yuan didn't answer her question, but continued to ask: "Is it okay?"

Zhang Yi was in a dilemma.

His attitude looked very determined, and he felt like he couldn't get in.

But Zhang Yi worked on this manuscript for several days.

A lot of modifications to him also made the boring conversation lively and interesting.

She also thought that she showed Xiao Yuan's real side.

Why not agree?

"How can you agree?" Zhang Yi believes that everything can be discussed.

However, he obviously didn't understand Xiao Yuan.

"Then, senior sister, look at it." The color of the eyes turned into indifference, as if looking at an unrelated stranger.

After Xiao Yuan finished speaking, he didn't greet politely or smile gently.

Just walking forward so calmly, as if she was just a shadow that didn't exist.

That attitude clearly said: From now on, there will be no intersection between us.
