The programmer and his woman

I returned to this lifeless teacher's office. There was still no communication here. The only thing was the coming and leaving of different teachers at class time.

Only the fat female teacher in front of me could sometimes communicate a few words. From the conversation with her, I could feel that she should be a lively person. Perhaps it was because her active personality had been worn away a lot in this long-term repressive environment.

I learned from her that the gentleman teacher that the principal often visited was a PhD who had returned from overseas. He might have been hired by the school at a high price to teach planning, which is the script in the game. The principal liked to consult him whenever he had something to do.

The empty seat in the last row is the workstation of the teacher who teaches online games. However, he does not work in the school. He comes to teach when there is a class and leaves after the class. No one has ever communicated with him. The principal has always wanted to replace him. I guess he may no longer use him after I came.

Now we were the only two people in the room, and I wanted to learn more about the situation here, so I asked her again: "Is it usually like this here? It seems like no one talks."

When the female teacher heard me ask this, she sighed and slowly said, "It's good that you don't talk. The teachers here are not convinced by each other. Everyone teaches different things and methods. It's good that they don't fight."

Before we knew it, we were chatting until it was time to get off work.

After finishing a day's work, I walked back home at a leisurely pace. I found that the door was open and Xiaoxia was not in the house. I couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. So I shouted loudly: "Xiaoxia, I'm back."

As soon as I finished speaking, I saw Xiaoxia coming out from the door of the neighbor opposite. She had a smile on her face. When she saw me, she walked over briskly and said, "Wang Dong, you're back."

I nodded and asked with a smile: "Xiao Xia, where did you go just now? I didn't see you when I came back, and I thought you went out."

Xiaoxia explained, "I just went to my neighbor's house to ask about installing broadband. The broadband in our house is installed in the room where the girls across the street live. They are the first tenants to move in here. I discussed it with these girls today and wanted them to connect an Internet cable for us. But they said that the current Internet speed is a bit slow and they don't want to add new users. It took me a lot of effort to convince them to let us access the Internet."

I nodded to show my understanding: "Oh, I see. OK, we have an Internet cable at home, I'll go get one in a minute."

Then, I asked with concern: "Xiao Xia, how are you doing at home today? Do you feel bored or bored?"

Xiaoxia shook her head and said, "I didn't stay at home because I felt it was too stuffy. So, I went to the supermarket today to buy some daily necessities and snacks. Now the house is almost ready."

I smiled and nodded, then said, "Then you should take a rest first. I'll go see if the network cable can be connected, in case someone changes their mind later."

There was one empty network cable interface left on the switch in the room opposite. I plugged it in and tried it. It was connected without any problem. Then I connected the computer with the network cable and tried it and found that I could access the Internet. So I plugged the network cable into the hub I brought with me, and connected two network cables to my and Xiaoxia's computers respectively.

"It's okay, Xiaoxia. The internet is connected. You can use your computer to look for jobs online." I looked at the computer screen, made sure the network connection was stable, then turned to Xiaoxia who was sitting on the bed.

"Okay, I'll look for it at home tomorrow." Xiaoxia responded with a smile, her face showing her expectation for the future. Then, she added excitedly: "I went to the supermarket today and bought a lot of things, including an electric kettle. In the future, we can boil water for ourselves, and we can also use it to cook noodles tonight."

"Do you mean to use this electric kettle to cook noodles?" I looked at the electric kettle in Xiaoxia's hand with some confusion on my face.

"Yes, I always ate like this before." Xiaoxia proudly raised the noodles in her hand, "Look, I also bought noodles, salt, noodle sauce, and some daily necessities today."

"Wow, you've gained a lot today. Thank you for your hard work, my wife." I smiled and touched Xiaoxia's head, my eyes full of love.

"Then I'll go get some water and we'll cook noodles right away." Xiaoxia said, skipping towards the kitchen.

After a while, the kettle started to boil. Xiaoxia hurriedly reminded him, "Open the lid of the kettle."

"Don't you cover the lid when boiling water?" I asked with a hint of doubt.

"Idiot, if you cover the lid and boil the water, the kettle will stop automatically. How can you cook noodles then?" Xiaoxia explained with a smile.

"Oh, yes, you have experience." I suddenly realized

Soon, the noodles were cooked. Xiaoxia helped me mix the noodles: "Wang Donglai, try it."

I picked up a piece of noodles with chopsticks and tasted it carefully: "How is it?" Her eyes were full of anticipation.

"Well... it's okay. I don't think the taste is particularly outstanding, but it's better than the Kung Pao Chicken that day." I told the truth, but tried to make my tone sound relaxed.

"Tsk, you're just being pretentious. I think it tastes pretty good." Xiao Xia pouted in dissatisfaction, then asked, "Are these noodles enough for you? Do you want me to make you some more?"

"No, it's enough to eat." I smiled and shook my head.

"Hmph, what do you mean by enough? Don't I know how much you usually eat? I can tell at one glance that you don't like it." Xiaoxia glared at me, pretending to be angry.

"But our house doesn't even have a window, so we really can't cook. It's too expensive to eat out every day, so let's just make do with this for two days. We'll buy a rice cooker on the weekend so we can cook rice at home in the future." Xiaoxia suggested.

We had finished our meal and were playing on the computer on the bed when we suddenly heard a knock on the door.

"I'm coming, wait a minute." I put down the laptop on my lap and stood up to open the door. When the door opened, I saw a handsome man wearing glasses and casual clothes standing outside. I looked at him carefully and confirmed that I didn't know him.

He asked politely, "Excuse me, who are you?"

"Well, I heard the sound of a network connection in your house. Can you access the Internet?" the neighbor asked curiously with an expectant smile on his face.

I only heard them talking yesterday but had never met them. Today was the first time I met my neighbors. Thinking about what happened yesterday, I still feel a little embarrassed.

"Um, I heard that your house has internet access, right?" asked the neighbor.

"I answered with a smile, and at the same time thought to myself that the soundproofing of this room didn't seem to be very good, and the sound of me opening QQ just now might have been transmitted to the next room.

"I want to ask you how you installed the internet. I asked the broadband company here, and they said that this house can only have one line installed, and they installed it over there." At this point, he pointed to the house across from us and continued, "I asked her family the other day, and they didn't want to let me connect to it. I said we should share the cost, but they said there were too many households connected to it, and the speed was too slow, so they wouldn't let me connect. I want to ask you how you installed the internet in your house, because I want to install one in my house, too."

I motioned for him to speak more quietly, and then said, "Come on, let's talk inside so no one else can hear us."

"Oh, okay. Hey, I noticed that the door of your house doesn't seem to be easy to open." The neighbor said with a little trouble as he observed.

"Huh? Does your door have this problem too?" I asked curiously.

The neighbor nodded and said, "Yes, I always felt that the door was difficult to push open when I came in. It was awkward. Later, I thought of a way to turn the bed sideways. In this way, when I enter the room now, the door can be opened easily."

"Sideways? How can the bed be sideways?" I asked curiously.

The neighbor smiled and explained: "Look, the bed you entered the room with is placed vertically, right? I turned the bed 90 degrees and placed it horizontally. In this way, the head of my bed is close to the wall between our two houses."

"Oh, I see!" I suddenly realized and said with a smile, "No wonder I always felt like you were sleeping next to us, it turns out our beds are right next to each other."

The neighbor nodded and said enthusiastically, "If you also want to make the door easier to open, you can also try to turn the bed sideways. Do you want to move the bed now? If you need help, I can lend a hand and we can move the bed together."

I thought about it and thought it was a good idea, so I responded, "Okay, thank you."

So my neighbor and I started to move the bed. He pointed to one side of the bed and said to me, "You lift this side, I'll lift that side. Are you ready? One, two, three, up!"

We worked together, but the bed seemed to be stuck and could not be moved. The neighbor sighed, "Oh, no, let's put it down first. I see that the horizontal width of your room seems to be narrower than ours, and the bed may not be able to be adjusted."

I nodded. "Yes, it looks like our room is smaller than yours. But your room should be more expensive than ours, right?"

The neighbor shook his head. "It's not expensive. I asked the landlord when I rented this room, and the rent for these two rooms is the same. After my bed is turned around, both sides are close to the wall. In fact, if your room is a little wider, it should be able to be turned around."

At this time, Xiaoxia was standing aside. The neighbor noticed her and praised her: "Is this your girlfriend? She is so beautiful."

Xiaoxia smiled to express her gratitude. The neighbor continued, "Come on, we have to move the bed back. Okay, now it's back to its original position."

"Thank you for your help, brother." Xiaoxia said gratefully.

The neighbor waved her hand. "It's okay, girl. I wanted to help you turn the bed around, but I didn't expect the two rooms were different sizes. I really can't help you at all."

Xiaoxia pondered for a while and then said, "Brother, you asked me how our network was installed. Actually, we also connected to the network of the family across the street. Their family didn't agree to let us connect it at first, but I communicated with them for a long time before they agreed. I guess it might be a bit difficult for you to connect another network cable."

The neighbor nodded and said, "Oh, that's fine. If it doesn't work, forget it."

Xiaoxia turned to me and asked, "Wang Dong, do you have a way to connect an Internet cable to my brother?"

I thought about it and replied, "Sure, we have a hub here, and we can divide the network by plugging another network cable into it."

The neighbor was immediately delighted when he heard this. "Really? That's great! I have an Internet cable at home. I'll throw one over right away."

Xiaoxia added: "But, brother, your network cable must go through the house, not outside. It would be bad if they saw it. I told them before that I only used a computer to check information, and they agreed to let me connect to the Internet. If they knew that we were connecting the Internet to others, they would definitely not agree."

The neighbor nodded repeatedly, "Oh, I see. Then I will pass the network cable through the wall between our two houses. OK, I will go back and prepare the network cable, thank you for your help." After that, the neighbor returned to his room.

I heard him go back to the room and fiddle with the wall in the corner, then said, "Brother, did you see the corner? The network cable has been passed through."

Not to mention that the only advantage of this wall is that it is easy to drill holes in. You can just pick up any hard object and poke a hole in the wall.

"See. I'll pull the line now. See if it's long enough?" I responded, reaching out to pull the network cable.
