Chapter 8 Borrowing Money

With a few acres of thin fields at home, and his grandmother's poor health, Zhang Xiaobai began to support his family at the age of twelve, not only contracting all farm work, but also having to find ways to make money.

A month ago, in order to treat my grandmother, the only more than 10,000 yuan in the family was almost spent, and now there are less than 200 yuan on my body.

Since you have decided to go to school, the first task is to solve the problem of tuition fees.

After a bus ride, Zhang Xiaobai finally came to Los Angeles University.

Colorful flags fluttered at the gate, with a large banner reading "Welcome New Students", and when you walked in, it was a green avenue with two rows of willow trees swaying in the wind.

After a short moment of trance, Zhang Xiaobai walked towards the registration office, which was responsible for guiding the new students to pay for accommodation.

A goose-faced girl with a very standard hair, looked at Zhang Xiaobai coming alone, smiled and asked, "Alone?" ”

I received a lot of new students, most of them were accompanied by their parents, and a few classmates came together, but I didn't see one person, so I couldn't help but be a little curious.

There were two boys standing beside her, one fanning her, and the other unscrewing the lid and handing mineral water. Got rid of the appearance of two eunuchs.

Zhang Xiaobai nodded expressionlessly, "Marketing Zhang Xiaobai."

The girl seemed to think he was very boring, and muttered, "I think it should be called Zhang Xiaohei." Then he began to look through the list, and there was a list of freshman dormitories.

The girl's rhetoric is also accurate, no matter who sees it, they think it is more appropriate to use black to describe Xiaobai.

Dark skin, angular cheeks, and a strong figure, but there is still some handsomeness.

Grandma said that Xiaobai was indeed very white when she was born, and her skin was delicate, and she was like a porcelain doll, so she didn't look like a rural person at all, so she gave it this name.

But Zhang Xiaobai seriously suspected that it was a white lie from his grandmother.

The girl flipped for a while and said, "Bedroom 301." ”

Zhang Xiaobai sighed and asked again, "Where is the principal's office?" ”

The girl rolled her eyes and pointed in one direction, "Over there." Huh! What are you looking for a principal? ”

Zhang Xiaobai picked up the bag and turned around to leave, leaving behind a sentence, "Borrow money!" ”

Then the egg-faced girl stood up in a panic and covered her little mouth, wondering if she had made a mistake? You shouldn't have told this silly boy.

Coming to the principal's office, Zhang Xiaobai knocked on the door and entered.

The room is not big, simple and tidy, only a desk, a sofa and a row of bookshelves.

The principal was an old man in his sixties, who was immersed in writing, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Zhang Xiaobai showing a trace of doubt.

"You are?"

Zhang Xiaobai slowly put down the bag and baggage, took a few steps forward, and knelt on the ground with a plop, never leaving the old man.

The principal hurriedly walked out of the desk and helped Zhang Xiaobai, "Young man, you have something to say, what is this called?" ”

Zhang Xiaobai said solemnly: "Principal, I will kneel down to my grandfather and grandma like this, you are the third, I have something to ask you!" ”

The principal couldn't help the boy, and sighed and said, "Then you say! ”

Zhang Xiaobai said: "I don't have money to go to school, can you lend it to me?" It only takes half a year to pay it back. ”

The principal sat on the sofa and looked at the back of the teenager, there are cases every year that students can't afford to go to school, and the normal procedure is that students report to the teacher, and then the school conducts an investigation and applies for financial aid.

This is the first time this has happened, and this student must be a little too bold, but it's kind of interesting.

The principal tapped his fingers on the armrest of the sofa and asked, "How do you guarantee to repay the money in half a year?" ”

Zhang Xiaobai was silent for a moment, and said word by word: "I promise in the name of grandma that I will definitely repay you within half a year!" ”

It sounded like a joke, but the headmaster couldn't laugh at it, and from the student's tone, he heard the unusual smell.

The headmaster stood up and said, "What's your name?" ”

"Zhang Xiaobai, marketing major." Zhang Xiaobai replied.

The principal said: "Okay, you don't have to worry about tuition, focus on school first, but I don't like people who talk about it, I hope you can do what you say!" ”

Zhang Xiaobai turned around, bowed deeply to the principal, and then lifted the bag and walked out.

The principal picked up the phone on the table and dialed a number, "You go to investigate a freshman, Zhang Xiaobai, a marketing major, the more detailed the better, if necessary, go to his alma mater hometown!" ”

The headmaster walked to the windowsill and saw the back again, the young man with such a big bag on his back, still standing very straight.

There was another reason why the principal agreed to him, even though the boy was kneeling, he didn't bend his waist.

Bedroom 301, the first room on the east side of the third floor.

Zhang Xiaobai pushed the door and entered.

The song suddenly drifted to my ears.

A boy with shawl hair sits on a stool, playing a guitar and singing.

The window was wide open, and the wind was blowing, and the boy's long hair fluttered in the wind.

Look down again, the boy is wearing leather pants and leather boots.

It's summer!

The song is very beautiful, the boy sings very emotionally, and later Zhang Xiaobai learned that this song is called "Friends Don't Cry".

Later, I also learned that this boy's name was Tian Ye, and he always wore leather pants and leather boots for the next year, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter.

Zhang Xiaobai's eyes were completely devoted to the alternative boy, but he suddenly found a "girl" walking towards him with a smile.

shook his head vigorously, Zhang Xiaobai fixed his eyes, it was not a girl who looked like a girl, and the skin and face were a beautiful mess.

The man stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "My name is Ji Xiaorou, you are Zhang Xiaobai, welcome!" ”

Fortunately, there was experience on the train, Zhang Xiaobai stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, I'm Zhang Xiaobai." ”

Not only was it born like a girl, but the name was even more like.

Ji Xiaorou helped pack her luggage, the alternative in front of the window was still singing intoxicated, Zhang Xiaobai found that there was only the lower bunk left against the door, and it seemed that the four brothers were all together.

While chatting, Ji Xiaorou talked about the situation in the bedroom, the one at the window is called Tianye, he sings well, and he has been singing since he came, probably a man who aspires to become a singer.

There is also a brother named Cheng Feng, Yanjing is also a rich man, his family drove a big bus to send him, and his parents went to find a girlfriend as soon as they left.

This girl-like Ji Xiaomian is also very close to women, and she chatters endlessly, but she is warm-hearted.

Zhang Xiaobai happily accepted this kindness, this brother is a brother who wants to live together for four years, and if he can do good things, he will get better, although this Ji Xiaorou classmate talks a lot, he is still old-fashioned and warm-hearted, he has no bad intentions, and he feels good about him.

After singing this song, the shawl-haired boy took out a bottle of beer from under his feet, blew it to the end, turned his head to look at Zhang Xiaobai, and said, "It's coming!" ”

Zhang Xiaobai nodded, "It's here!" ”

Ji Xiaorou chuckled, thinking that these two goods just greeted each other like this?

At this moment, the door of the dormitory was suddenly kicked open, and a boy appeared in front of him.

"On the first day we met, I said that I shouldn't trouble my brothers, but if we have been together for four years, I will treat you as brothers. My buddy's girl was bullied, and my brother's brother was with me, and my buddy set a good table when I turned around! ”

After speaking, the boy walked out, Tian Ye put down his guitar and followed with an empty wine bottle, Ji Xiaorou hesitated for a while and chased after him.

Zhang Xiaobai thought about it and sat on the bed.
