79: Chapter 10 Registration_2

79 -10 Registration_2

“Follow me,” Shen Chi walked over to the side where a tricycle taxi was parked and asked, “Excuse me, is the Medical College near here?”

“That’s quite far.

You’d have to go around several streets.

If you’re walking, it would take an hour.

If you guys are going, I’ll give you a discount and only charge you 80 cents.”

“60 cents.”

The driver was taken aback, “From your words, I can tell that you know the going rate, brother.

But 60 cents won’t work.

We usually charge 20 cents per person, and you’re bringing a child too.

Let’s call it 70 cents.”

“Don’t joke with me, my son weighs at most twenty pounds. freeweɓnovel.cøm

Look at my wife and sister’s size; even if you were carrying a kid who weighed forty pounds, you wouldn’t be at a loss,” Shen Chi said with a lifted eyebrow and a smile.

“Alright, 60 cents then.”

Lin Xiaoguai and Shen Xiu exchanged glances, both somewhat surprised.

They hadn’t expected Shen Chi to be good at bargaining.

“What are you looking at me like that for?” Shen Chi asked Shen Xiu curiously, as her gaze had not wavered.

“Brother, why bother haggling over a penny or two when you have so much money?” Shen Xiu asked with a puzzled face, whispering near Shen Chi’s ear.

“What’s the logic in that?” Shen Chi pursed his lips, “How does having more money justify spending more on a ride?

A penny or two is still money.

Don’t pick up bad habits of squandering, little girl.”

Shen Xiu gave him a sidelong glance, “I think, brother, you should be telling this to my sister-in-law.” Her sister-in-law never haggled when shopping; of course, she wasn’t one to be taken advantage of either.

If the price was over her mental limit, she simply wouldn’t buy the item.

Shen Chi was at a loss for words and just touched his nose without speaking further.

Shen Xiu smirked triumphantly, knowing that only her sister-in-law could keep her brother in check.

Lin Xiaoguai heard the sibling’s conversation but did not take it to heart.

If she could have learned to bargain, she would have picked it up in her past life, not waited until now.

Moreover, she knew it wasn’t about learning, but about whether one could let go of their pride.

She had always been thin-skinned, and even if she knew that this was a weakness in her character, she had no intention of changing it after decades.

It took roughly twenty minutes for them to reach the provincial Medical College.

This school wasn’t very famous, which is why its buildings and facilities were quite average, but they were neatly organized.

The seniors and seniors tasked with welcoming the new students appeared very amiable.

As Shen Xiu was a girl and quite a looker at that, some of the male students were very attentive.

After paying the fees and registering, Shen Chi quickly dismissed the particularly attentive male student with a few words and led the way into the dormitory building.

“Room 409, found it, right here!” Shen Xiu pointed at a room number and called out.

The dormitory door was closed.

Shen Chi turned the doorknob and opened the door.

There was no one inside; they were quite early.

After all, the registration deadline was the day after tomorrow, and today was only the first day.

“Xiuer, your bed is here, and the locker is number six,” Lin Xiaoguai looked around the room, frowning, “Why is the curtain broken?”

She found the dormitory environment to be quite poor.

She could tolerate the old building, but the space was small.

Four bunk beds, two by two, were placed against the walls, with a pathway of only about one and a half meters in the middle.

There was also a shared writing desk, which didn’t even have a phone on it.

By the window, there was a simple shelf for cups and basins, with a basin and a closet by the door.

As for the bathroom, it was non-existent – they would probably have to go to a shared facility.

Lin Xiaoguai stared at the dilapidated curtain, which couldn’t be hung due to a fallen rope.

“Let me see,” Shen Chi stood beside her, looking up, “The nail came loose and fell out.

No worries, I’ll get some wooden plugs and fix it so it can be used.”

He immediately set to work, borrowing some items from the building manager downstairs, came back, propped up a stool, and started working.

Lin Xiaoguai touched the desk with her finger, noticing a layer of dust.

Seeing that the towel rack had a cleaning cloth left by a previous student, she said, “Xiuer, go borrow a bucket from the manager, bring some water, and wipe down these beds and other things with the cloth.

I’ll go out and buy some daily necessities.” Since she was holding Little Niangao, she wasn’t in a position to work anyway.

“Should I come with you, sister-in-law?

You’re by yourself and don’t know the area,” Shen Xiu said, concerned and also a bit apprehensive about the unfamiliar environment.

“It’s alright.

I paid attention to where the general store was on the way here.

I’ll be back soon.”

Shen Chi, who was struggling with the nails, overheard their conversation and said, “Xiuer, let your sister-in-law go.

Wanwan, don’t go too far, just head to the department store at the school gate.

After you buy the stuff, wait there, and I’ll come over and help you carry it after I fix these nails.”

“No need, it’s just a washbasin and a footbath anyway.”

Shen Chi knew that those items weren’t heavy, but let’s not forget, his wife still had to carry their son.

“Why don’t you leave Little Niangao here?”

Lin Xiaoguai frowned, “But there’s nowhere to sit here.” The desk was too high, the chair was being used by Shen Chi, and getting the bed cleaned up would be a hassle.

Eventually, Shen Chi still told her to wait for him at the store’s entrance after buying the items, but whether Lin Xiaoguai would listen was another matter.

As she left the dorm building, Lin Xiaoguai headed straight for the general store she had noticed before, selecting a basin with a floral pattern and a dark maroon plastic footbath, spending less than two yuan.

She had just left the store, still debating whether to wait for Shen Chi, when she saw him briskly walking out of the school.

“Let me carry the son,” he said.

Comparatively, Little Niangao was much heavier than a basin and a footbath.

Lin Xiaoguai’s hand felt sore, so she did not resist and passed Little Niangao into his arms.

Returning together, they found that other students had already arrived in the dormitory.

“You’re Shen Xiu’s brother and sister-in-law, right?

I’m her classmate, Ji Hongfen, also from room 409.

She’s gone to wash the cloth and will be back soon,” said the girl dragging the floor, greeting them.

Ji Hongfen was a tall and slim girl with quite pretty features, albeit with a darker complexion.

She had a dimple that appeared when she smiled, giving the impression of being easy to get along with.
