"Damin, your clothes are dirty, take them off and let me wash them for you." Zhou Ya took a gentle offensive.
Xu Damin looked at the white shirt he was wearing.
When he was studying in the countryside, he used to wear white shirts to show that he was educated and bookish, differentiating himself from the villagers who were full of ideas.
At that time, Xiaoling and Zhang Jinfang were doing laundry at home.
But now that he has come to this university, he can only rely on himself for everything.
Now, it would be nice to have someone to help wash the clothes.
Xu Damin thought, no matter what, just get along first and break up later when you find the right person.

Xu Erlong wandered around the provincial capital with his missing teeth.
The wholesale market in my memory has not been officially established yet.
But because it is close to the train station, some people are still bold enough to sneak some items and trade here.
There are even many people with foreign accents mixed in.
It sounds like there are people with a Beijing accent, and there are also people from the coastal areas who have thick accents and their pronunciation of Mandarin is not standard.
Xu Erlong and Qian Ya were walking here. They were dressed as if they were from the countryside. They were wearing a blue I-shaped vest, a pair of dirty blue trousers underneath, and Jiefang shoes on their feet.
Even on Xu Erlong's clothes, there were blood stains left after fighting with others, as well as some orange juice stains.
No matter how you look at it, he looks so sloppy.
When he walked to a place and saw a public toilet in front of him, Xu Erlong said: "I'm going to use the toilet first. Do you want to go?"
"I won't go." Qian Tooth replied.
In the past, in the countryside, I disliked the big toilets being dirty and messy. But now in the city, those poorly managed public toilets are not even as good as the big toilets in the countryside.
The old-fashioned public toilets of those days had no flushing water, and the pits were full of feces and urine. Many people even thought it was dirty, so they settled on the side. The sides were full of feces and urine, making it impossible to stand even on tiptoes.
Unless you are very anxious about holding it in, you are generally not willing to go to a public restroom and suffer the consequences.
"Okay, then you just wait for me here." Xu Erlong said.
"No, I want to go farther away, so as not to be at such a close distance and smell like urine." Miss Teeth said with a smile, and ran farther away.
Xu Erlong smiled helplessly and went to the toilet by himself.
Qian Ya stood at the intersection and waited for Xu Erlong.
He didn't know that because of his attire, he looked like a foreigner and he was alone. His young and careless appearance attracted others' attention.
A middle-aged woman came over and said to him: "Oh, little brother, please help me. I want to buy cloth for my son to make clothes, but I don't know how many meters of cloth I need to pull. I think your figure is similar to his, but not as good as yours."
Can you help me with the measurements? Don’t worry, you helped me. My whole family, young and old, is grateful to you."
This middle-aged woman looks like a simple and honest woman from the countryside, and she makes people get close to her just by looking at her.
If you hear missing teeth, isn’t that a good thing?
Just help people measure their dimensions.
Seeing that he didn't move, and seemed to be willing to agree to this, the middle-aged woman said again: "Don't worry, the store is at this intersection, it won't delay you for a few minutes, and my son is from the movie theater, help me measure the size, and I will deliver it to him."
Thank you for your movie ticket."
Hearing about the missing teeth makes him smile.
It's not bad. If you help me do a good deed, I'll be given movie tickets as a thank you.
"Okay." Qian Ya said, "But we have to be quick."
"It must be fast, just measure the size, it will be fast." The middle-aged woman took the missing tooth and left.
The woman pulled him around an intersection and walked to the left.
"Didn't you say it was at that intersection?" Qian Ya asked.
"This way is the shortcut. This way is closer," the middle-aged woman replied.
Missing Tooth believed it to be true and continued walking.
Sure enough, within two steps, the middle-aged woman took him into a sewing shop.
In the sewing shop, there were several bolts of cloth and two men standing there.
"Master, come and measure him." The middle-aged woman pushed the missing tooth over.
The two men, holding soft rulers, measured the size of the missing tooth.
Soon, after the measurements were taken, the two men stretched out their hands expressionlessly: "This set of clothes will cost one hundred and twenty yuan. Please pay."
Missing Tooth smiled and said: "This is not mine, this is this aunt's."
As he spoke, he turned around and found that the middle-aged woman who had pulled him over was no longer there.
It turned out that the other party had already sneaked away when he turned around to measure the size.
"What the hell are you doing? What we saw was you taking measurements to make clothes. The cloth has already been cut. How could you not want it?" The man in his twenties shouted angrily.
Missing Tooth was dumbfounded: "But I just measured the size, how could I have already cut the fabric? It can't be so fast, right?"
The older man, who was in his thirties, sneered and knocked on the fabric on the chopping board: "Isn't this already cut?"
Missing teeth and being dumbfounded.
He understood that he had fallen into a trap now.
After all, he had been hanging out with Xu Erlong for a while, and he understood that people saw him as a country boy from out of town and dismissed him as a foreigner.
"Wai Ha" is the local name, the abbreviation of "Wai Di Ha'er".
"I don't have money, let me go, otherwise, I will go to the police to sue you." Qian Ya said.
But the other party has nothing to fear.
This is not to blame for the other party's insistence and fearlessness. It was a time when things were really unclear.
Including modern people, many people still encounter beauty consumption traps and are inexplicably lured into free beauty treatments.
But in the end it's not free, it's sky-high price.
Even if you call the police and call the police, it won't have much effect. You have to pay some amount of money before leaving.
"I advise you to be wise, pay the one hundred and twenty yuan, and pick up the clothes after one month." The other party threatened.
This is also something that the other party has kept in mind, and still agrees to give you clothes, but only a month later.
Who among these outsiders has time to come from other places to pick up their clothes a month later?
The time and money wasted on the road cannot be wasted, so we can only let it go.
"No." He said stiffly due to his missing teeth.
He turned around and ran outside.
Unexpectedly, two more men stood out at the door, and four men surrounded him, holding him down and about to beat him.
This time, Que Teeth surrendered and shouted: "Don't beat me, don't beat me. Can't you give me money?"
"That's pretty much it." Several people let him go, and even the younger one reached out and patted his face lightly: "Wouldn't it be enough if we had recognized each other like this earlier? Even if you let me, the King of Heaven, do this today,
You have to give me money."
Missing Teeth said with a mournful face: "But I don't have any money."
"Who are you kidding if you don't have money? If you don't have money, why don't you come to the provincial capital?" one of them shouted.
Qian Ya said: "All the money belongs to my friend."
Those people exchanged glances and said to two of them: "Okay, you go with him and ask his friends to get the money."
The two of them escorted the missing tooth, walked around the alley, and walked out.
