"I brought it." Xu Manman took out her pen from her bag.
Before filling it out, she glanced at Chen Ming beside her. Without rushing to write, she handed his information to her from her bag first. "Cousin, please go to your place to register first. This way, you won't delay things. I'll come find you when I'm done."
"...Okay, don't run around after we're done. Wait for me to come over."
After Xu Manman finished the formalities, the senior student handed her a note and a numbered key.
"Students in our school receive a monthly stipend of 19.5, which is also a living allowance. You can go to the Finance Office with this slip to collect it. Once your student ID card comes out, you can go directly with your student ID card. For meals, you can buy meal tickets in the school cafeteria.
Here is your dormitory key. Your dormitory is on the north side, 34th floor, room 208."
"Okay, thank you, Senior."
After Chen Ming finished the formalities, the brother and sister received their subsidies under the guidance of an enthusiastic senior student, and then came to Xu Manman's dormitory.
Six people live in the small single room. There are two bunk beds, one in front and one behind, on the right side of the door, and a bunk bed and a table on the left side by the window.
In the middle of the bunk beds on both sides, that is, under the window, there is a radiator, and a table is placed in that empty space.
There are no cabinets or anything, so to put things you have to either pile them on the bed or put them under the bed.
Now that she and Chen Ming were both inside, they both found it difficult to turn around. Not to mention that this house had to accommodate six people, and the bathroom and toilet were shared. Compared to when she was boarding at the town middle school in her previous life, the only difference was the addition of a radiator.
She arrived relatively early, but someone else arrived earlier than her. The lower bunk of the single bed had already been made, but no one was there.
Chen Ming observed for a moment and said, "Manman, how about you stay here? Bring your luggage over and spread it out first?"
Chen Ming wanted her to sleep in the lower bunk on the other side of the window, close to the radiator so she wouldn't be cold.
Xu Manman shook her head and said, "I want to live upstairs." She had experience. Turning off the lights and closing the door were the jobs of the lower bunk. Besides, the dormitory was so small that the lower bunk would have to become a place where everyone often sat.
She is now a bit of a germaphobe because of Xiao Jin's care, so for the sake of making herself feel more comfortable, she decided to choose the upper bunk.
Chen Ming was still worried and stretched the ladder welded with iron pipes beside the bed. "But living this high up, it's not safe to climb up and down. What if I accidentally fall down while sleeping at night?"
"How could that be? There are guardrails here, and if you choose the lower bunk, anyone who comes will just sit on it. If their clothes are dirty, it will be so dirty!"
"Can……"
Xu Manman interrupted him, "That's it, let's go to your dormitory and take a look."
"The dormitory should be similar, there's nothing to see. Let's go to the guesthouse and move our things and make the beds first." Chen Ming still felt that he had to occupy a bed first. If he was the last one to arrive, there would definitely be only a bed near the door left, which was far from the heating and the door would leak air in the winter. Just thinking about it made him feel uncomfortable.
"Okay, let's go."
After they went around again, got their luggage and made the beds, almost two hours had passed. The main reason was that the school was so big and far from the school gate, so they could only walk back and forth.
In the end, both siblings chose the upper bunk facing the same direction. Instead of slandering themselves, they chose to slander others.
Once the dormitory problem is resolved, there will basically be no big deal. The opening ceremony will not be until March 1st, and the new students will not register for several days. The dormitory is not heated during these days, so it is more comfortable to live in the guesthouse. You can move back after school officially starts.
After finishing the work, it’s time to take care of our stomachs. “Let’s go to the cafeteria to eat and see how the food is.”
The two people exchanged some meal tickets at the window on the side of the cafeteria, and then went to the meal window.
Although it is not the official start time yet, the school cafeteria is quite busy because of the arrival of new students and welcome staff.
After taking a look at the dishes, Xu Manman instantly lost her expectations.
The city now has limited supplies. Peking University and Tsinghua University at this time were incomparable to later generations, when they had multiple canteens, a fusion of Chinese and Western cuisine, and a wide variety of delicious foods.
The staple foods are noodles, buns, steamed buns, corn porridge, etc. The vegetarian dishes are cabbage and radish. The meat dishes are not all meat. Anyway, it is not as good as the state-owned restaurants outside, but it is cheap, large in quantity and can guarantee the most basic living needs of students.
Xu Manman ordered a bowl of mixed noodles and a bowl of noodle soup, and Chen Ming added two more buns.
