The man I met in the lounge.

1

In the late 1990s, Dong Wenhua's The Story of Spring became popular all over the country. "An old man drew a circle on the South China Sea in China ..." The name of Shenzhen Special Economic Zone kept enlarging in my mind in the beautiful melody. Different from the young people drifting in the north who carry guitars and have long hair to pursue art, most of them drift in the south are IT elites and financial talents.

Several students chose to go to Shenzhen for development after graduation. They described in the letter: the ratio of male to female in Shenzhen is one to six, which is completely a paradise for women. The maritime climate is pleasant, there is no cold winter and no faded color. Skirts fly in four seasons, bordering Hong Kong, mountains and seas, and flowers everywhere. The road surface is very clean, and the leather shoes won't be stained with dust for a week. On both sides of the broad Shennan Avenue, there are leafy trees, begonia and canna. ...

In an era of chasing dreams, although I live in the south of the Yangtze River, where there are paradise-like scenery, Sanqiu cassia seeds and ten-mile lotus flowers, I often worry that my life will end day by day in a familiar alley. As Yang Xiwen, a cutting-edge writer, once said: People should see more scenery in this life, not only know their neighbors sitting under the trees to enjoy the cool, but also walk two blocks in front of their homes when they are old. Chyi Chin sang "The outside world is wonderful ..." Under the poison of these words, he was full of yearning for freedom, gave up his stable life and ran to the unknown south.

Parents always expect us to grow up, and finally we grow into a butterfly and fly away. We will never be truly independent around our parents. We have them to shelter us from the wind and rain, and we don't have to worry about food and shelter. When I leave home, I am like a snail without its shell. There is no place to live, everything depends on yourself. First, I have to have a place to live. After all, the SAR is a SAR. At that time, the internet was not popular in the mainland, and you had to go to the post office to send emails. In the era before Taobao, Shenzhen could already find a house, find a job and buy and sell second-hand goods in the online flea market. The students who settled down first helped me rent a house on Shenzhen Renting Online. The house is rented according to my requirements: the rent is as cheap as possible, only shared with women, with separate bedrooms and kitchens.

After getting off the plane, I dragged a big suitcase to the address given to me by my classmates: a garden in Mutoulong, Luohu District. Looking around, the house is clean. There are three rooms in the suite. The room I live in is only a dozen square meters, and the rent is 750 yuan, which is equivalent to the salary of my hometown for one and a half months, but it was cheap in the south at that time. A bed, a table and a cloth wardrobe can be put in the room to meet the basic living conditions. The balcony was changed into a kitchen and bathroom, which saved the trouble of others using it. There are two young women living in the other two rooms. The landlord is a retired old man from Hong Kong, and his wife is Aunt Chen, a retired doctor from a hospital in Shenzhen. Aunt Chen saw that I had just come from the mainland and chatted enthusiastically with me in Cantonese-style Mandarin: "Lotus, is this the first time you left your parents?" Please let us know if you need any help. We live next door. By the way, the water heater in the bathroom burns gas. You must remember to take a deep breath when you take a bath. Pay attention to safety when you are so young outside. My daughter went to Australia after graduating from college. I miss her when I see you. I didn't know she was abroad ... "Aunt Chen wanted to say more, but she was interrupted by the old landlord:" Ok, somebody else's Alian just came from so far north to let others have a rest. If you miss her, go to Australia to see her! "I smiled and off the landlord couple, opened the suitcase, took out the sheets and spread them on Simmons. I went downstairs to seven eleven and bought something to eat. I thought I could settle down temporarily.

I was so tired that I almost fell into bed and slept through the night. Get up and fry a poached egg, heat two slices of whole wheat bread, pour a glass of milk, and simply solve breakfast. I opened the door and found it was quiet outside. The doors of the other two roommates are closed. I wonder if they have gone out.

I went to Shenzhen to pursue my dream. What is my dream? I don't know. Is it looking forward to the retirement cycle rather than doing it at a glance in state-owned enterprises? Is it to earn more money and see the world? Or breathe freely in a strange environment that no one knows or cares about? No matter what my dream is, I have to live in reality first. I only have enough money to pay the rent for three or four months. The price here is much higher than that in the mainland. And without the support of my parents, every penny in my pocket will be spent. I have to find a job that will keep me alive first. With a prepared resume, I brushed the moth's eyebrows, touched her lips and went out.

At that time, there were no private cars in my hometown, and many owners of ABB, a coastal city with a wave of heat waves, were individuals. Like a drop of water flowing into the sea, I became a member of the bustling crowd, wandering among Cantonese people in a hurry wearing slim T-shirts and speaking vernacular, and no one paid attention to the ordinary me who came to this city for the first time. In my hometown, as long as I go out, I may meet acquaintances at any time. I have to keep greeting my uncles and aunts, and I have to deal with their embarrassing question: Are you going out alone? Do you have a boyfriend? What is the salary now? ..... don't answer it. It's impolite. Reluctantly answer. I have no privacy in front of so many elders who watched me grow up. In Shenzhen, no one cares who you are, where you come from and where you go. This may be freedom!

There was a well-paid job advertisement posted on the outer wall of the roadside cafe, and I curiously went forward to look at it. But a kind passerby advised me: Little Sister, are you just from the mainland? Don't trust roadside advertisements, many of which are deceptive. To find a job, you have to go to the formal talent market. I thanked the stranger and took the bus to Luohu talent market according to the address he gave me. Didn't you say that Shenzhen is a mess? But I met warm-hearted good people in the street! Think about a funny dialect that Wang said in world without thieves: There are no thieves in the world! I grinned.

News such as going home after the interview in the talent market. Fortunately, I received an employment notice from a foreign company the next day. Looking for a job in the mainland is either a struggle or a relationship, and you have to listen to unreliable people using bureaucratic excuses to discuss and study. I have been waiting for ten and a half months without news. I didn't expect that I didn't know anyone in Shenzhen and I didn't have any background. I found a job in one day. This may be the attraction of the North, Guangzhou and Shenzhen: fairness and efficiency.

After dinner, the two women put on tight black low-cut dresses and went out with heavy makeup. Tomorrow is the first day of my new job. I want to rest early. Coming out of the pure environment, I didn't think about why they stayed up all day and went out at night. Sleeping soundly in the middle of the night, I was suddenly awakened by the noise in the living room: it was two women and a man arguing. From their fast speech speed, I finally understood the general meaning: a woman is bargaining with that man: how can she give 300 when she promised 500? Another woman is helping her partner: the service of 300 is different from that of 500. You can't leave without 500 today! Are they the legendary princess station? I'm too scared to go out with my mouth covered. I secretly blame my classmates for finding me a broken house and sharing it with such a person. Later, my classmates even laughed when they learned that as long as they share the same room with women, who knows that women are not necessarily good people? It seems that no one in a city knows who you are, and you don't know who others are, which is quite risky.

When they heard me say that they found a job during the day, they suddenly understood. It turns out that they are lazy, hate work, think that their normal work is too hard and earn too little, and sell themselves for a living. In my simple hometown, I have never heard of such a thing. It is said that Shenzhen is a colorful special zone. I didn't expect to lecture me in this way when I first came here. They should not be intimidated, perhaps because they are uneducated, unskilled, lazy and have no sense of shame. I wonder if they have thought about the future. What do people live for? Most of us are working-class, working hard with our hands. No matter how little money we earn, we will be clean, with a bright future and a straight back!

The next day, I will report the situation to the landlord and ask them to arrange another house for me, otherwise I will call the police. Aunt Chen was so angry when she learned the situation that she cursed the old man for not having a vision. The old man complained that he could not ask the tenant about the nature of his work. That's true. If the landlord rents a house with his work unit first, those who have not found a job will not be able to rent a house. The landlord lives next door and agreed to let me move in with the old couple. So I shared it with those two women for two days, and then I moved away, which may be the shortest sharing in history!

I may know that it is illegal to allow others to engage in illegal industries, so the landlord kicked them out immediately. I am not good at cooking. Every day after work, I either scrambled eggs with tomatoes or sliced meat with green peppers. Sometimes you accidentally cut your fingers when chopping vegetables, or you spill cooking oil on your face. Sitting on the sofa in the living room will make you homesick and think of tears. Aunt Chen will bring me a bowl of bone soup and sometimes a small piece of durian, saying that I am too thin and should eat more nutritious things. It was at that time that I began to like the southern fruit durian, which smelled bad and tasted delicious. Occasionally, someone catches a cold, and Aunt Chen will introduce a doctor familiar with the hospital to prescribe some medicine for me. In the one-year sharing with the landlord and the old couple, I stayed away from my parents and realized the care and kindness of a strange city.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. A year later, the landlord will go to Australia to live with his daughter. The house in Shenzhen is ready for sale. I have to find another house. With the lesson of sharing the first time, when looking for sharing this time, I not only pay attention to whether the rent is cheap and the transportation is convenient, but also pay attention to the occupation of the co-tenant. With one year's working and living experience, I can find a house online by myself. The occupation of sharing a girl this time is a nurse. My mother is a medical worker, and I have always had a good impression on angels in white, so I gladly moved in with her. Sure enough, nurses love cleanliness, and a two-bedroom house is neat and warm. It's just that nurses work in shifts, so there are not many opportunities to meet each other in a week.

Every time I see her, I feel very haggard: dark circles, a sallow face, sometimes some scratches on her face, and few smiles. It's not the same as the little nurse in mom's unit who loves to talk and laugh. But considering that she is a legitimate career, there is nothing to worry about. We went to our room according to our schedule. After three months of quiet life, I think I found the right roommate. But one night, I was awakened by a scream. The nurse in the opposite room probably had a nightmare. She kept calling: Dr. Liu, come and help me. No, don't hit me. Ah ... there's her crying in the back. I'm unlikely to be watching TV at half past two in the evening. I went over and knocked on her door and asked, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?

After a long time, the nurse opened the door and came out with tears on her face. It turned out that she was a nurse in a Kangning hospital in Luohu. At the age of 265,438+0, she is most afraid of working at night because she has been raided by manic patients several times. Listening to her talk about working the night shift with her medical record, she was walking alone in the corridor of the inpatient department. Suddenly, a male psychopath rushed to hit her, and my heart was shaking. Young, she used to be a nurse in Jiangxi's hometown general hospital, and she yearned for the SAR. It happens that Shenzhen Kangning Hospital is recruiting nurses. She always thought she was strong inside. Unexpectedly, in just half a year, she was on the verge of collapse because of constant fright. I don't know how to comfort her, so I can only give her a tissue and persuade her to rest for a few days. However, after two months of hard work, her condition did not improve, and eventually she could not continue to work in Shenzhen and was taken back for treatment by her family. Later, I saw a psychologist because of postpartum depression, and found that the doctor's drawer actually had her own medicine for treating anxiety. Angels in white is really not easy, so I want to take this article to pay tribute to the silently dedicated medical workers!

After the nurse moved away, I urgently needed someone to share the rent. It happened that Xiaomei, the girlfriend of classmate Ding Feng, just came to Shenzhen to rent a house and live with me. Ding Feng himself works in Hongkong. Xiaomei can't live in Hong Kong for a long time, so she has to stay in Shenzhen temporarily. Because she is a classmate's girlfriend, she is naturally at ease. Xiaomei is two years younger than me. Her voice is sweet and lively. She has an eye for interior decoration. After coming, she took me to IKEA to buy curtains, mirrors, hangers and photo frames to make the rental house as warm as home. Xiaomei is a tallyman in a cosmetics company. She often needs to go to various specialty stores. At noon, if she is near my company, she will ask me for dinner. Xiaomei looks pure and lovely, and I look younger than my actual age. A male colleague will jokingly ask me: Is this your sister? Before I could speak, Xiaomei replied first: What do you think? I am much younger than her! God, what if I am as old as Alian in a few years? She winked at my colleague when she spoke. It seems that Xiaomei is not as virtuous as she looks. For the first time, I had an idea that I couldn't underestimate her.

Ding Feng only goes back to Hongkong once every week or two. Every time she comes back, Xiaomei complains to him: You don't know what life I live alone in Shenzhen. I want to travel around in the sun and wind, and I want a grass widow! Ding Feng is a bookworm. He listens to his girlfriend's hard life and will not comfort her, but will give her money desperately. He can buy whatever clothes and cosmetics he wants. I'll give it to you if the money is not enough. Influenced by Sanmaoshu, I have always believed in spiritual supremacy. I never think that money can bring happiness to people, and love can also be expressed by money. However, judging from the way they flirt, I believe they are in love. Ding Feng said that Xiaomei met him when he attended a classmate's birthday party. It happened that Ding Feng had a bad cold, everyone was singing, and he was sitting alone in the audience. Xiaomei took the initiative to strike up a conversation and then asked for his contact information. Knowing that Ding Feng was in Hongkong, Xiaomei quit her job in Guangzhou and came to Shenzhen. Ding Feng is a master of engineering and doesn't know how to chase girls. It can be said that Xiaomei enlightened him and opened a whole new world for him.

Xiaomei's family is in Henan, with a half-brother on it. When she was a child, her family was poor and she had a hard time. Before meeting her classmates, Xiaomei worked in Guangzhou Electronics Factory. She had sex with a department manager after a romantic candlelight dinner and knew that the manager was married. In this regard, Xiaomei said that the manager is very kind to her and often buys her clothes and gives her pocket money. I am curious why Xueba likes such a girl! As the saying goes, men are not bad and women don't love them. Do good men like bad women? Probably because bad women and good men have completely different ways of life and thinking, which gives them the feeling of subverting their imagination, just like the mutual attraction of two species, and curiosity makes good men infatuated with bad women. Or bad women are interesting in the eyes of good men, such as Xiaomei. As a woman, I have to admit that she is very interesting in life. Although she has many ideas, she also loves life. Coupled with the pure and sweet voice that makes the bones soft, it will be spoiled and lovely, and it is difficult for men to resist the temptation of this woman.

But everything is hard to say without marriage, which Xiaomei also thought of. Once, when Ding Feng was ill in hospital, Xiaomei came to ask me: What gift do you think will move him? Or am I from single dog? I have little experience in this field, and my mind is full of conventional gifts: giving apples? Chicken soup? Xiaomei shook her head: apples are too ordinary, and I can't make chicken soup. Finally, she patted her thigh and cried. By the way, I gave him a lucky star, which was romantic and trendy. Before I asked her how to fold the lucky star, she had bought colored paper strips and glass bottles to fold the lucky star.

When I came home the next day, I asked her: Is it from a lucky star? She replied in a hoarse voice, don't mention it. It's too much trouble to fold lucky stars. It took a long time to fold them into several parts. If you want to fill that glass bottle, it won't kill me! I changed it to a paper crane, and I only packed a 30% discount bottle. After sending it, I told him that the moral of the paper crane is to get well as soon as possible, and he was extremely moved. Then I suggested to him that we should get married when he was discharged from the hospital. He hesitated to say that his parents had not agreed. I don't care. Find an acquaintance to get a marriage certificate first next week, so as to save a big sleep.

What? I'll go! Three paper cranes took Ding Feng out? Don't all men propose to women? Ding Feng was forced to get married by his girlfriend. It's just that I don't care how two people feel!

But Xiaomei is really not a fuel-efficient lamp. After marrying Ding Feng, she is still as free as single. She has always admired the jade bracelet in my hand, which my mother gave me when I left my hometown, hoping to keep me safe. Xiaomei and Ding Feng have seen it several times, but jade bracelets are very expensive in Shenzhen, and some of them cost tens of thousands. This classmate doesn't have that much money to buy at the moment, so he can only wait.

Suddenly one day, I saw Xiaomei had a jade bracelet with a good color. "Let me see, Ding Feng? I bought it for you so soon. " Xiaomei snorted and said, "I don't know when he will save the money!" " This is bought for me by a netizen I know, more than 30 thousand! "

I asked in surprise: Why did he buy you such an expensive thing? Xiaomei played with the bracelet and said, "Because he likes me! I went to Thailand with him last week. When I came back, I said I wanted a jade bracelet, so he bought it for me. " I just remembered that Xiaomei didn't come back last week. I thought she was away on business. "So you have ..." I was embarrassed to ask, but Xiaomei generously admitted: "I slept with him, so what? My father was not divorced when my parents fell in love. As long as the other person is kind to me, chastity is worth a few dollars. Besides, after marriage, you can only have sex with one person in your life. What a boring panic! However, after comparison, I still feel that my husband is more gentle. Those men will not cherish other people's wives! "

After listening to Xiaomei's self-report, I seemed to see the green light on Ding Feng's head. Am I too ignorant? There are still people who think that whether a person is traditional or open may have a lot to do with her growing environment and her parents' education. Xiaomei said that when she was a child, her family was poor and bitter, and her mother taught her to be good at seizing the opportunities around her in order to get a so-called happy life. My family is also very ordinary, but my parents have always taught me not to be hungry if you are not afraid of suffering, to be grateful for dripping water, to be diligent and simple, to live within our means, and to create happiness by our own hands. Everyone has his own way of living, but I can't understand Xiaomei's way of living. I feel sorry for Ding Feng when she sees her having sex with people at random in exchange for what she wants. But it is my principle not to interfere in other people's lives, but every time Ding Feng comes back, I can't watch Xiaomei spoil him as before, without distractions. I decided to move again.

Tell Xiaomei that I changed my job. The new company is too far from the rented house. It takes 40 minutes to change trains to work twice a day. Why don't I rent a house near the company instead? Sometimes I walk two kilometers home after work in order to save a dollar to change bus tickets. Xiaomei is a little anxious: who will help me move the rice and oil? Who will help me move the gas bottle when you move it? Who will cook dinner for me? I said with a wry smile: I am not a woman, and I am no better than you, but you are younger than me and always ask me for help. I'm leaving, find a stronger and more capable roommate!

The network in the south has brought me great convenience. I posted a post asking for sharing on the renting website, and received invitations from several landlords in less than three days. According to the previous sharing situation, I limited the sharing object to the landlord. After seeing several suites, I finally chose Li Yan, an unmarried landlady in a quiet old community in Nanshan District. Li Yan is a civil servant, and the house is divided into units. When she was young, she had a house and became a landlord. Li Yan wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses with short ears, which looks rigid, but it is also reassuring. She told me not to bring boys in and not to use her personal belongings. This is also in line with my expectations, and I readily agreed. In this way, she and I started a shared life without interference and communication. After returning to the rental house, I am used to eating, watching TV and reading alone, but I am also very free.

I don't mind knowing that Li Yan is so indifferent, but sometimes I bring my female colleagues to play. They say hello to Li Yan, and she likes to ignore me, which makes me a little embarrassed. Quietly explain to colleagues that she is like this and doesn't like to associate with people. "I don't know if I am a dream guest, but I always make my hometown in my hometown." Just after waking up, this cold sharing atmosphere always reminds me that this is not my hometown.

I am watching TV at eight o'clock this evening. Li Yan knocked at the door to let me out. I have lived for almost a year, and I pay my rent on time every month. It's so late. What can I do for you? I was shocked when I opened the door in disbelief. In the living room stood four defense team members wearing red armbands and camouflage uniforms. Li Yan said that she should check her ID card and temporary residence permit. I see. In Shenzhen 200 1, the certificate verification of migrant workers is very strict. At any time, the police or defense team members are checking the documents of passers-by. Without a temporary residence permit and a fixed residence and job, the three unemployed people will be immediately put into a caravan and dragged to Zhangmutou for reeducation through labor, and then repatriated after earning enough money for their return trip. I hurried back to the house and took out my papers. After careful inspection, the defense team asked me again, where is your floating population family planning certificate? Fortunately, mom just sent it to me. I found it for them, but I didn't expect them to read it, saying that filing in Shenzhen neighborhood Committee did not meet the requirements and asked me to go through the formalities with them. There are many of them, wearing the clothes of the defense team. I have no doubt that I just took the door key and left with them.

I have lived in this community for almost a year, and I pass this street every day when I walk to work, but I have never noticed that there is a village in the city hidden in the streets and alleys, and the office of the joint defense team is hidden in the depths. Being road blind, I was taken to such a remote place at night. I'm a little worried that I don't know the way back, and I'm a little scared. As soon as I entered the office, I saw many women inside, all holding family planning certificates in their hands. After I was sent to the place, the four defense team members disappeared and no one received me in the office. I asked where to go through the filing formalities. The women sneered and said, "I have to pay 500 yuan before I can stamp you." Isn't this blackmail? " Why pay so much money? "What the hell is going on? When you took me out, you didn't say you had to pay. What should I do if I have no money? " Then you're not getting out of here. Look at the door-"Follow the direction of the woman's finger, I saw two defense team members at the office door, armed with electric batons, guarding the people in the house. Someone walked to the door and was drunk back. The office is crowded with more than 20 foreign women who have been brought in like me and need to get a family planning certificate. They are quarreling with the staff inside, but those staff members have the support of policies and joint defense personnel, and they just look like they won't leave without paying.

This is the only unfriendly impression that Shenzhen gave me. Shouldn't I be working in the window during the day? Why do you bring it to such a messy alley at night to pay for it? At that time, Shenzhen's temporary residence permit needed to be handled once a year, and once it needed to be handled by 300 yuan, but the application fee was not clearly disclosed in the family planning certificate. Or some people think of the gray income, we will arrange to check the documents at night and arrange to trade in places that we can't see! Negotiating with the staff until almost twelve o'clock was fruitless. In order to get out of this hellhole early, I borrowed my office phone and called my colleague's landline, asking him to bring 500 yuan for emergency. Colleagues who have lived in this area for three years have also searched for a long time to find this broken place. I was released as soon as the money was paid. In order to avoid being blackmailed again, before I came out, I went back and asked the so-called staff to stamp the registration stamp on the family planning certificate.

Strange to say, I passed the street again the next day. I couldn't find the corner of the alley the night before, but I obviously owed my colleague 500 yuan! How can it not feel like a dream! My colleague also confirmed that he did save me yesterday. According to his analysis, there may be a stall in the alley during the day, blocking the simple road. I wonder how many places in Shenzhen secretly collect money under the protection of the joint defense team. Because of this incident, Li Yan, who is indifferent, is afraid that there will be trouble in renting the house to people with incomplete documents, and will not renew the lease when the one-year lease expires. There is no home in this city, so we have to repackage and change places.

I don't think the landlord can be an eccentric single woman. I need to find a normal husband and wife landlord, at least a little fireworks. With this in mind, I moved to Shekou and shared a room with a newly married couple, Xiao Wang. They have a two-bedroom wedding room. In order to relieve the pressure of life, I want to rent one of the small bedrooms to a single woman. I think I meet the requirements. Adapt to the new community and new living environment again. Ask the door of the cuisine in Cantonese every day after work. It's hard to say whether the door is against the door. Buy some food from the vegetable vendor who calls customers beautiful girls and handsome boys, and then go back and cook the last dish according to the menu. There is only one kitchen in Mr. and Mrs. Xiao Wang's house, so whoever goes back early will cook first. There is only one dining table in the living room. When the meal is ready, we eat it together, not as family or friends, so the atmosphere is awkward at first. Later, Wang Dafang invited me to try his cooking, and I also shared my cooked Sichuan style pork with them. We gradually got along naturally.

Mr. and Mrs. Xiao Wang also have a butterfly dog named Potato. Strangely, potatoes are more important to me than the hostess. Every time I open the door, it stands up, hugs my leg and barks at me kindly. Especially when Xiao Wang and his wife go out for their honeymoon, I take him for a walk every night to save the meat and bones for him to chew. When I was watching TV, it lay quietly at my feet with me. In those days, I felt that even if I lived far away from home, I was not lonely. Unfortunately, after Mr. and Mrs. Wang came back, the hostess complained that potatoes had learned many bad habits, such as going to the sofa and tearing up newspapers. I complained to her husband that I was spoiled. Fortunately, Xiao Wang was more reasonable and advised her that when we were gone for more than half a month, people volunteered to help us raise potatoes. If we don't thank others, how can we blame others?

Women may be a little jealous of women who are protected by their men. Later, Xiao Wang's wife always found fault with me and complained to her husband. Either there is clean rice in the kitchen sink or there is hair on the floor tiles in the bathroom. During that time, I often heard them arguing about these trifles in the room. Finally, Xiao Wang coaxed his wife to calm down. On the contrary, the shampoo and cosmetics I asked someone to buy from Hong Kong were quickly used up in the bathroom, so I could only eat dumb losses. There is already a subtle atmosphere in the shared house. I've been looking at the calendar. When the one-year lease expires, I will change places. Coincidentally, Xiao Wang's wife was pregnant and vomited badly. On the pretext that I might have a baby, I couldn't stay here, so I asked their parents to help me, and I canceled my contract in advance and moved out.

In recent years, I have contacted all kinds of people, and learned something deep in Shenzhen society from the shared house. It's not that I'm difficult to get along with, but it's really inconvenient to share a room with strangers. This time, I took out a few hundred yuan rent and moved into a single apartment, ending the days of sharing with others. From then on, I will not look at other people's faces when I return to my residence, and live a life of fighting alone with the landlord.

The landlord only pays the money every month and finally closes the deal when he moves, but he has also met great landlords. No matter the moving car is waiting downstairs, you must work out with me calmly how much she will pay for the dripping faucet and the fluorescent lamp that has been flashing for a long time. Others withheld a month's deposit, saying that they would pay me back after deducting the water and electricity bills, and they would never pay it back again. After all, in the five years before buying a house, I moved eight times and met eight landlords or roommates, which made me lucky to see this strange city from another angle.
