After rebirth, I still experienced a mess

48 houses received

I continued to skip classes and went to the archives room to get a certificate. I returned to the dormitory, locked the door, drew the curtains, pulled out the box under the bed, and moved it onto the bed.

There is a small hole about an inch away from the bottom and side of the box. It is the size of a chopstick head and is blocked by a wooden wedge that is about the same color as the box. It cannot be seen without paying attention.

Xiao Wei took out a chopstick, pointed the tip of the chopstick at the blocked hole and poked it hard, pushing it in more than an inch, pulling it out and turning it to the other side. He poked it again at the same position, pulled the poked end out of the bed, and tapped it gently a few times, and a three-inch bottom board fell from the bottom of the box. There were two-inch wide small wooden squares at both ends of the board, with a small hole in the middle, which was clearly the hole where the wooden pin was inserted before, and it was right in front of the hole on the box.

This box with hidden partitions was specially customized by Xiaowei from a master craftsman.

Even if the lock on top is pried open, if you don't pay attention, you won't notice that there is more than two inches of space underneath.

Xiao Wei reached in, pulled out the cloth bag, counted out three hundred and fifty pieces, stuffed the rest back in, picked up two wooden pins and plugged them in from the outside, restoring it to its original state.

It took more than an hour to complete all the formalities at the Housing Management Office. The person in charge took Xiao Wei to take over the keys.

The doors and windows were both usable, but the floor was covered in dust. There were a few piles of mud on the tiles that had been turned over by rats, and the lime was peeling a little, but there were no signs of leaks in the main house.

Xiao Wei was not very satisfied with the dirt surface in the yard. The small kitchen was leaking a little and the door frame below was rotten. He suggested that the Housing Management Office find a craftsman to repair it.

The person in charge said, "You have to pay for it yourself. Just give it to the accountant after you agree on the price."

Xiao Wei took the opportunity to put ten yuan into his trouser pocket and said, "Of course. Please help me estimate the repair fee and I will go with you to pay it."

The person in charge said, "I'll ask a foreman to come take a look this afternoon and then make a decision."

Xiao Wei said, "I have classes in the afternoon. Just help me decide."

The person in charge put his hand into his trouser pocket and twirled it, then said cheerfully, "You are so sensible. The cost of the repair should have been paid by the Housing Management Office. I will arrange for workers to do it this afternoon and check it again. We will try to have it done within two days."

Xiao Wei thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you very much."

"Of course, of course. You are a young girl, but you have a lot of social experience. You will definitely have a great future."

"Thanks to your good words, I will definitely study hard."

It is very simple to change majors within the school. There is no need to take academic exams. All you have to do is sing a song in front of the academic department and several music teachers, and the teachers will decide on the spot whether you stay or leave after discussion.

Xiaowei, Biyu and Wenyan passed smoothly and asked Guixiu to notify others.

Gui Xiu smiled and said, "I'll just come to help you with the tying, I won't change my major."

When Xiao Wei came out and saw Yinmei and Chunxiao also waiting in line, he cursed inwardly: They are haunted ghosts.

After walking a little further, Xiao Wei looked back unconsciously and saw that Yinmei and Chunxiao had left the team. He was very relieved: it would be better not to meet them as much as possible, otherwise it would affect his mood.

While Guixiu and Wenyan were both home, Xiaowei began to test Biyu and asked her if she wanted to move out of school. Biyu was worried that it was not safe enough and that life would be inconvenient outside the school: "Do you want to move out?"

"Yes. We'll move in two days."

"How much is the rent?"

"Five dollars a month. Electricity is extra."

"Ah. It's so expensive. I heard one is only one dollar."

"I rented three rooms, each with its own door and yard. You can live with me, and I won't charge you any money."

"Then I won't go."

"The main reason is that I'm a little scared to live alone. I want to hire you to give me courage. I don't have to pay you, and you don't have to pay rent. It's the best of both worlds."

"Where's dinner?"

"Our household registration is at school, so of course we eat at school. Living outside gives us our own personal space, so we don't have to worry about others rummaging through our things. We don't have to be sneaky when we want to eat snacks."

Xiao Wei already knew that this girl liked to eat snacks. The reason why she was angry last time was definitely because someone stole her snacks and she couldn't say it out loud.

After much effort, Biyu was finally persuaded and was a little tempted: "Is it far from school?"

"It's only a few miles away, and you can walk there in five minutes. I'll take you there tomorrow, and I guarantee you'll like it."

"Okay. Let's see first."

"Don't tell Guixiu and Wenyan about this for now."

"Yeah. I don't like Wen Yan. She's too scheming."

Xiao Wei smiled and said, "I am much more scheming than her."

"No. You are cold and solitary. You don't like to get involved with others, and you won't take the initiative to trick others. She likes to set traps for others and pretend to be a good person. I don't like to play with her, for fear that I will be tricked by her and I can't blame her."

"I know. Isn't it the kind of person who is both a whore and a virgin?"

"You——" Seeing Xiao Wei's swearing, Biyu opened her eyes wide in shock.

Xiao Wei realized it and laughed, "I am just a country girl, so naturally I am not as civilized as you."

"No. It turns out you're as bold as Guixiu. I'm a little uncomfortable with that. Usually, you're too lazy to talk."

"It depends on who you are talking to. For some people, even one more word is a waste."

"I kind of understand. You can make friends with people you can talk to."

"That's what it means."

Seeing the house being repaired by the workers, Biyu liked it very much, but she was still hesitant about moving out: "The teacher won't object, will he?"

Xiao Wei said: "We are not really moving out. We will not move the things in the dormitory, but just add a set of bedding. We will treat this place as our activity place. If we are happy, we can live here. If we are not happy, we can still live in the school."

"That's great. Can I bring a friend to stay with me?"

"Of course. The west room is yours, you can play as you please, I won't disturb you."

"I have a good classmate who is a physics major. She is a girl. We have been in the same class since the first grade of elementary school until we graduated from high school."

This kind of relationship is not as simple as "good friends", but Xiao Wei doesn't care at all: "Both men and women are fine. But there is one condition. I won't enter your room without your permission. Similarly, don't enter my room without my permission."

"That's perfect. We don't like others entering our rooms casually, and my classmate doesn't like it even more."

"Haha. It seems I found the right person. Then you can sleep in the big bed in the east room. It won't be crowded at all for two people. The bed in the west room is smaller, so I'll sleep alone."

Biyu did not refuse: "We can't live here for free, we can share the rent and electricity bills."

"No need. Just consider it as not taking the tuition from those two guys."

"Xiao Wei, you don't look like a country bumpkin. You are really willing to spend money, and you usually spend lavishly."

"Because I have money. Money becomes worthless if you don't spend it."

"Is your family wealthy?"

"No. I earned it myself."

Biyu looked like she saw a monster again: "How do you make money while you're still studying?"

"Well, the way I make money is similar to the way I blackmailed those two guys. Anyway, don't worry about it. My money comes from a legitimate source and I won't do anything illegal or criminal."

"I absolutely believe that. You are definitely not a crooked person. But you are so unthrifty. Do you think you can earn enough to spend?"

"It's enough for me to splurge on myself. I can find a way to earn more after I'm done with it."

"Anyway, I really can't figure out how you make money. I also want to be self-reliant. Can you take me with you if there is an opportunity to make money in the future?"
