Chapter 288 Little Tomorrow and Her Soldier Brother (2)
When Xu Youwei woke up the next morning, she felt inexplicably in a good mood.
She opened her eyes and saw the sunlight outside shining through the window onto the bed, as if bringing life and vitality to the entire room.
This was the first time that Xu Youwei felt that having a window in the bedroom could make people feel warm and happy when they wake up every day.
Stretching, she slowly got out of bed.
Xu Youwei walked to the window, opened the curtains, and let more sunlight in.
Take a deep breath, feel the fresh air in the morning, and feel your heart full of anticipation for a new day.
Then she packed her luggage and went downstairs. As soon as she got downstairs, she met the proprietress who was on duty at the front desk.
The proprietress looked very friendly and asked with a smile: "Little girl, how did you sleep last night?"
Xu Youwei smiled and replied: "I'm fine, thank you for your concern."
The lady boss then asked, "You got up pretty early, you probably haven't had breakfast yet, right? There's a small shop selling steamed buns outside, they taste pretty good."
Xu Youwei said gratefully: "Thank you, Madam Boss, you are so enthusiastic."
She then asked, "Madam, how much should I pay for last night's room?"
The lady boss smiled and replied, "It's not much. Gu Lian told me that you are his relatives. We have preferential policies for military families, so we only need to charge you 30 yuan."
Xu Youwei was a little surprised to hear the price. She repeated, "30 yuan? Is it really 30 yuan?"
The lady boss thought she thought it was expensive, so she added: "If you think it's expensive, 20 yuan is fine."
Xu Youwei quickly explained: "No, I just think the price is very affordable."
She took out a few five-dollar bills from her wallet, handed them to the proprietress, and said, "Sorry, these are all change. Please count them!"
The lady boss took the money and said with a smile, "What's there to be embarrassed about? I am most willing to do things that require money."
Then she lightly counted the banknotes in her hand, and had some understanding of Xu Youwei's family background.
In this age when everyone uses mobile payment, this little girl is still using paper money, and not even large bills, which shows that she has worked very hard to save this money.
"Okay, the money is right!" The lady boss didn't say much, but just smiled and asked, "Where are you going today? Are you going to travel or to..."
She didn't say the word "working", but she was basically certain that Xu Youwei was working.
Xu Youwei thought the boss lady was a nice person, so she didn't hide it: "I received the admission letter from S University, and I came to the school to register."
This tone was a little proud, and then she added: "Although I came a little early, I wanted to come here early to familiarize myself with the environment."
After hearing this, the proprietress frowned slightly and said with some reluctance: "Then you are not planning to live in the school dormitory now!"
"Is it not possible? I have inquired before, and the dormitories of S University are open to students in advance." Xu Youwei looked at the proprietress's expression and said with some concern.
In fact, Xu Youwei's idea was not wrong, but unfortunately, this year happened to be the 100th anniversary of S University, and someone donated a large sum of money to the school to repair the school's teaching buildings, student dormitories and other public facilities.
So this summer vacation, no one came here early.
Of course, the old students know these things, but the new students like Xu Youwei may not be so clear about them. After all, the information on the Internet has a certain delay.
After the lady boss told her what she knew, she saw that Xu Youwei was a little depressed, so she tried to persuade her, "In fact, the consumption level in S City is not very high, and there are private rooms for rent around, and it is near the military area.
It's cheap and safe, but the facilities are not very complete. After all, most of the landlords here are older, so they are a bit annoying. How about I ask for you? "
"Then can I ask, roughly how much it will cost?" Xu Youwei was still a little worried. She was short of money so she didn't have the confidence to speak.
"It's very cheap. Because it's shared, two hundred a month is about right, and it's paid monthly." The landlady explained, "It's an old-fashioned small house for rent. The room is not very big, with just a bed and a cabinet.
The bathroom and kitchen are all shared. Usually, such houses are rented to several people. Water and electricity are not metered and the bill is fixed, usually 60 yuan a month. "
Xu Youwei was quite surprised to hear this. After all, although she had heard that the prices in S City were not very high, she did not expect them to be so cheap.
Just when I was about to ask something else, Gu Yanxi walked in carrying a plastic bag.
"Here!" Gu Yanxi didn't hesitate at all and handed over the bag of buns in her hand. "I bought this from the bun shop at the intersection. It's still hot! I guess you didn't have breakfast."
Xu Youwei hesitated for a moment, and then a bag was stuffed into her hand.
"Gu Lian, are you still on holiday today?" The proprietress saw Gu Yanxi's actions, but said nothing and continued to talk to him as usual.
