Chapter 165 Dormitory
There were already students in the dormitory. When he saw Sun Bomin leading the ox cart in and then saw the short and thin Sun Shan, he realized that there were new students staying there. He politely bowed and greeted Sun Bomin and others.
Su nodded flattered and said yes, yes, yes, yes repeatedly.
Uncle Hong led Sun Shan into a dormitory with two beds. One of the beds was already covered with something, apparently he had arrived earlier than Sun Shan.
Uncle Hong pointed to another empty bed and said, "Brother Sun, Shanzi will live here. The other houses are occupied."
Sun Bomin looked around the dormitory carefully. It was clean, had a bed and a desk, and the environment was pretty good.
He said honestly: "Thank you. I'll have to trouble you in the future."
Uncle Hong waved his hand and said, "You're welcome. It's no trouble. You guys can clean up first. If you have any questions, come to me."
Pointing to the small house at the entrance of the yard: "I live over there."
After saying that, he said goodbye to Sun Boming.
Su looked at Uncle Hong's departing back and whispered, "Boss, send Brother Hong the snacks we brought back from Fucheng later. We will have to trouble him for our Shanzi in the future."
Sun Bomin is a simple man but not a fool. He naturally understands the ways of the world: "Well, we have to build a good relationship with Brother Hong. If anything happens to our Shanzi, we have to ask him for help."
After hearing what the couple said, Sun Shan found it very reasonable. He thought that being a dormitory manager was not a management job, as students had many things to ask of them.
Sun Bomin and Su unloaded the ox cart and moved Sun Shan's things into the dormitory bit by bit.
The dormitory was not big to begin with, and Sun Shan's several sacks immediately filled it up.
Su first helped Sun Shan make the bed and hung up the mosquito net, then moved the box containing the books to the head of the bed, so as not to expose the valuables.
When I was almost done with the packing, I found that I was still missing a large box to pack my clothes.
Su said anxiously: "Boss, go out and buy a big box. It doesn't matter if it's expensive."
There are really too many things, and they must be packed in boxes.
Sun Bomin hurried out, while Su helped Sun Shan put away his daily necessities and even placed a pot of flowers on the desk. She smiled and said, "Shanzi, is it okay for mother to put it here?"
Thinking that my children love flowers the most, I decided to get a pot of flowers before leaving, as we have no shortage of flowers at home.
Sun Shan was touched and said, "Mother, it's done. It looks great. I like it very much."
When Su heard her son say he liked it, she felt even happier and continued to help him pack his luggage.
Sun Shan looked around the dormitory carefully. His roommate across the street was not there and he didn't know where he had gone.
Compare the big and small bags at home.
Looking at my roommate’s simple luggage: a quilt, a pillow, a bucket, a small suitcase, and even no mosquito net, I suddenly felt like I had more things at home.
Su said nonchalantly: "Others are others, you are you, just do your best. It's fine as long as our things don't cross the line."
Su and Sun Boming still knew the rules. There were only two people in the dormitory, so they each took half.
When Su was packing up her things, she didn't dare to cross the line and throw Sun Shan's things to the next door.
Sun Boming came back soon, sweating profusely, and it seemed that he had walked very fast.
Sun Shan saw the big box that Sun Bomin was carrying. It was big enough to fit Sun Shan and Su in it. No one knew where he found it and how he carried it all the way back. It must be very heavy.
Su's eyes sparkled, and she said with satisfaction, "Boss, the box is nice and big enough to fit all of Shanzi's clothes."
Sun Bomin said cheerfully, "It just so happened that the carpenter had it, so I bought it and spent 300 coins on it."
When Su heard the 300 cents, she felt distressed and regretted why she didn't work in the village.
Sun Bomin said with relief: "We have no choice but to use it temporarily. We have no experience, so we don't know what to prepare. When our grandchildren go to school in the future, we will have experience."
Su smiled and nodded: "Yes, when Shanzi's son comes to school, we will clean it up and know clearly which ones we want and which ones we don't want."
Sun Shan stared blankly at Sun Boming and his wife, chatting and laughing as they imagined the day when their grandson would go to school, his brow furrowed with gloom.
Forget it, you guys can think whatever you like.
After a long time of tidying up, Sun Bomin and Su finally got everything in order. The couple took Sun Shan out of the dormitory and visited the surrounding environment, focusing on the kitchen, bathroom, and toilet.
Finally, the conclusion is: the dormitory is quite good and does not ruin the mountain.
Afterwards, I brought some snacks to the house at the gate of the yard, which was also the security room, to find Uncle Hong.
When Uncle Hong heard that the snacks were from the city, he couldn't help but smile and said politely, "Brother Sun, you are too polite. You guys should eat them."
Sun Bomin smiled and said, "Eat, we still have more."
Afterwards, the two asked many questions about the school and the dormitories.
Uncle Hong smiled and said, "Brother Sun, the dormitory costs 500 coins a year. Pay the money here."
Sun Boming nodded and taught 500 wen. He had registered for Hong’s School before, but only paid the tuition fee. He did not pay for accommodation and food.
Su asked with concern: "Brother Hong, how is the food in the school calculated?"
Uncle Hong introduced: "There are three kinds. The first kind is a meal of vegetables and soup for 3 wen, which is 5 wen a month.
The second type, a meal of one meat dish, one vegetable and a soup, costs 10 wen, which is 520 wen a month.
The third type is a meal of two meats, one vegetable and one soup, which costs 13 wen, or 676 wen per month.
In addition, breakfast is 5 wen per meal, so 130 wen a month.”
Su asked again: "What are the meat dishes?"
Uncle Hong explained: "Pork, chicken, duck, fish, etc., lunch and dinner will be different in a day."
Sun Bomin and Su asked for the third type, two pieces of meat, which Sun Shan ate better.
676 wen a month plus 130 wen for breakfast, a total of 806 wen, which the Sun family can still afford.
Sun Shan shook his head and said, "Uncle Hong, I want the second one."
Then he said to Su and Sun Bomin, "Father, mother, I still have some homemade salted fish and bacon to eat."
Sun Boming and Su thought about it and decided that Sun Shan was right. Since they had brought some food from home, they could order the second type.
Although Uncle Hong felt sorry that Sun Shan did not choose the third option, the second option was also good and the canteen could still make money.
Sun Shan asked again: "Uncle Hong, if we don't eat in the school sometimes, will we get a refund?"
Uncle Hong shook his head and said, "It's not refundable. You don't want to eat it, but the cook still made the meal."
Sun Shan understood. It was like setting up a banquet in a restaurant. The ingredients had already been ordered. Even if few people came, the money still had to be paid because it was already confirmed.
He nodded and said, "I understand. Thank you Uncle Hong for telling me."
Sun Bomin paid the second level of food allowance and returned to the dormitory to help Sun Shan check it.
It's already 2pm.
The three of them hurried out of the yard and found a wonton shop to eat. After being busy for several hours, they had already digested the breakfast they had in the morning.
While eating, Sun Bomin and Su told Sun Shan to study hard in school, get along well with his classmates, and to find Manager Xia if there was anything important. If you are bullied, speak up and don't hide it. Dad and Mom will stand up for you.
Sun Shan hummed, his nose feeling sore.
