Chapter 62 Skills

Going to a boarding-style high school means that I have to live independently. In the three years of high school, I have indeed learned a lot of skills because of living in school.

Proud to share it.

Skills: Scrub the ground.The dormitory manager has to check the sanitation every day, and the roommates are alone every day, taking turns to sweep the floor and take out the garbage.

Our floor is light yellow, and it is easy to get dirty, especially on rainy days. If you go in and out with wet shoes, watermarks will be left on the floor. If you don’t deal with it in time, points will be deducted by the dormitory management the next day.

What happens to the deduction?
Will be called by the head teacher to drink tea.

Therefore, the floor needs to be brushed frequently. There are many traces that cannot be removed by a mop. You must use a brush to scrub, or rub your feet back and forth with a broom. The posture looks very ghostly.

Sweeping the floor is considered a major project in dormitory cleaning, usually once every two weeks.

Before brushing the floor, we first divide the area that each person is responsible for, and then take the brush and basin to the bathroom to collect water and sprinkle the water on the ground.

Sprinkle water, pour a little laundry detergent on the dirty place, and you can start brushing.

It takes about a quarter of an hour to brush a floor. Anyway, I often squat until my legs are numb, and I can't stand up immediately, otherwise I will feel dizzy.

Later, my roommate found a nano-sponge, which is better than a brush (not advertising it), and our cleaning efficiency has improved a lot.

In the third year of high school, No. [-] bought a Bluetooth alarm clock that could play music outside. We sent No. [-] the link of the song we wanted to listen to on weekends. After she downloaded it, she could listen to the song in the dormitory.

Usually when you are brushing the floor and feel bored, Number Six will ask, "Would you like some music?"

"Let go!" We said in unison.

Then the dormitory played our favorite music, and when it was played by Lao Xue's "Animal World", I couldn't help but sing along, and I felt that the floor had a sense of rhythm.

Skills: Pass the water pipe.The water pipes in the bathroom of the dormitory are very thin. Sometimes when we wash our hair together, it will become clogged if the hair falls too much. We have to wait until the next day to report to the dormitory management downstairs for repairs. We just research it ourselves.

House No. [-] is engaged in renovations. Usually when the water pipe is blocked, she bends down, unscrews the water pipe, then takes a toothbrush or some small hook to slowly pull out the strands of hair or the seasoning in the instant noodle soup, and then calmly unscrews the water pipe. go back.

Later, we also learned that water pipes rarely need to be repaired, and the sense of accomplishment of doing it yourself is really amazing.

Skills: Wash shoes.To be honest, I almost never washed my shoes before I lived in school. It's not because I'm lazy, but because I don't have this habit.

When the shoes are dirty, usually just wipe them with a wet towel, or change the season, some shoes will not be worn for a while, my mother will take a big basin, soak the shoes in water, soak for a long time, and then slowly brush, Put it in the cupboard when it is dry, and then take it out to wear when the time comes.

After living in school, my roommate often brushes shoes, especially size [-] and [-]. When the shoes are a little dirty, I brush them, and put them on the balcony to dry after brushing. I also need to wrap the shoes with napkins, which seems to absorb sweat from my feet. , It can also reduce the color fading speed of shoes.

Most of the shoes on size six are dark, and they are usually brushed once or twice a month.

Neither No. [-] nor I have the habit of brushing shoes. At first, we were shocked to see them brushing their shoes frequently. We couldn't even understand why they had to brush their shoes so frequently.

and after?
"If you can't beat it, just blend in".

Now I have also developed the habit of brushing my shoes. Although it is not as frequent as the second and third, I do it once or twice a month.

Mom was surprised by this: "Tsk, the sun is really coming out from the west. I haven't seen you brush your shoes for so many years. It's a bit different when you come back from school."

In addition to these skills, there are also the dismantling and washing of the air-conditioning grid and the unlocking of the spoon handle mentioned in the military training article.

The roommates later joked about these skills: "Thanks to the school, I have trained a dormitory of domestic service talents."
