The dormitories at Kyoto University are quite old. Even the bunk beds are made of wood. After years of weathering, they no longer look like what they once were and look quite shabby.
No one else had arrived in the dormitory yet. Jianshu and the other two were the first to arrive. The dormitory wasn't very large, so once a group of people arrived, it quickly became a bit crowded.
This is a dormitory for six people, with two bunk beds on the left and one on the right. There are several cabinets in the open space near the door. The space is not very large, but it is enough to store some clothes and valuables.
There's a long desk in the middle of the dorm. It looks a bit old, but it's made of solid wood, so it's good quality! Aside from the slightly uneven surface, there's nothing wrong with it.
Seeing this environment, several people couldn't help but frown.
There was no one in the dormitory right now, so there was no need to be so careful with what they said. Meng Ying took Jian Shu and Zhao Yueling's hands and said, "Why don't you just go home and live there? At most, you'll have to commute a little harder every day. This dormitory is too small. The wardrobe is only big enough for two cotton-padded jackets, and there are a lot of people living here. You two have never lived with outsiders before, so can you make it?"
She had endured all kinds of hardships in her youth, so that wasn't a big deal. But when it came to her two children, she felt a little distressed. If her family didn't have the means, it would be fine, but if they did, and still let their children suffer, she couldn't stand it.
Zhao Mingze also nodded, "Yes, it's better to go home and stay. If it really doesn't work out, I'll take you there in the morning."
Jian Shu and Zhao Yueling exchanged a glance and said helplessly, "No, we're here to study. Our home is so far away, and it takes an hour to go back and forth every day. What a waste of time. I'd rather lie in bed for a while."
Zhao Yueling continued, "That's right. It's so cold getting up early and going to bed late every day in the middle of winter. Although the dormitory conditions are a bit poor, it's still livable. Mom and Dad, don't worry about it. My sister and I will go back this weekend."
The young boy Zhao Tianrui looked at his two sisters with a distressed look on his face, "Sister, you have suffered."
"You've suffered! Hehehe——" Little Gu Yiyi mimicked and laughed out loud after he finished speaking.
Jianshu: “…”
Zhao Yueling: “…”
Jian Yucheng spoke at this time, "All the formalities have been completed, so you can move in first."
Jianshu laughed and was just about to agree with her father.
The next second, Jian Yucheng continued, "I'll have someone look around to see if there's a house for sale nearby. If there is, we can buy it and then have them move out."
Jianshu's smile immediately froze, and she gave him a resentful look. Just as she was about to praise him, her true colors were revealed.
"dad--"
Jian Yucheng patted her head and said, "Be obedient. Even if you don't want to move out, you can stay here occasionally. It's not a loss to buy a house."
Yes, this is a house near Peking University! It’s a top-notch school district house, so it’s not just a good deal, it’s a huge profit, right?
But is anyone willing to sell their house now?
After hearing his daughter's question, Jian Yucheng explained calmly: "It would be great if there is one, but we won't lose out if there isn't."
"This is a good idea. We should pay attention to it later and buy it when we find a suitable one." Zhao Mingze and Meng Ying also agreed.
The matter of buying a house was temporarily settled.
The work of cleaning the dormitory has to continue.
They arrived the earliest, and there were no names written on the beds, so arriving early gave them more room to choose.
A group of people compared all six beds, and finally Jianshu decided to choose the single bunk bed on the right.
Zhao Yueling was a little afraid of falling, so she chose the lower bunk. Jianshu didn't care, as he was used to upper and lower bunks in his previous life, so he chose the upper bunk.
Although the upper bunk is a bit troublesome, it also has its advantages, that is, it is clean. No one will pick their toes on your bed or anything like that.
After confirming the beds, Meng Ying directed the two men to fetch water and clean the beds. After wiping both beds clean, she looked at the dusty walls and frowned.
"I'll have to get some old newspapers to stick on the walls later. Otherwise, no matter how clean you clean, it won't be any use. It will be covered in dust soon."
"When I just came up, I seemed to see some old newspapers in the dormitory manager's place downstairs. I'll go down and get some!" Zhao Tianrui raised his hand, and then ran out quickly without waiting for a response.
Not long after, he came running back, "Mom, here's the newspaper!"
Holding a thick stack of old newspapers in my hand, it is more than enough to stick on the wall.
"Good boy, it's useful to bring you here!" Zhao Mingze stroked his youngest son's head hard and said with a smile.
Zhao Tianrui smiled proudly, "That's right!" This arrogant look is quite similar to his childhood.
In addition to newspapers, Zhao Tianrui also asked for some glue. The two big men were responsible for half of the wall each and they quickly finished pasting it.
The two sisters Jianshu opened the luggage they brought, put the mattress underneath, laid out the floral sheets, and put on the quilt.
The mattresses, quilts and sheets I brought to school this time were all specially customized. They were just the right size and fit perfectly when laid down.
While making the bed, Meng Ying was packing their luggage, putting the clothes in the cupboard, the toiletries on the table by the door, and the miscellaneous small items on the long table first, and then slowly packing them up after the two sisters were done.
After Jian Yucheng and Zhao Mingze finished pasting the wall, they were not idle. They picked up the tools and installed the bed curtains. Once the curtains were drawn, they instantly became an independent personal space. They didn't have to worry about being seen by others when changing clothes.
"The cabinet is a bit small, so you should just bring a few changes of clothes. You can go back every week to get the rest, otherwise there will be no place to put other things." Meng Ying clapped her hands and said, "We'll have to buy a lock for this cabinet later. It will be locked on weekdays so everyone can feel at ease."
