I rented a house outside the South Fourth Ring Road in Beijing.
The house is very small. In addition to lying down to sleep, I usually lie down to operate the computer. If you want to fart occasionally, you have to get into bed quickly, so as not to make a little noise, go through the wall and affect your neighbors.
The reason why I rent it here is because it is close to the company and convenient to work overtime. In case there is something urgent and the leader can't arrive in time, I can temporarily cover it for the first time.

The house is shared by four families. There is a boy living in A, B and C, including me. Room D is the second bedroom, with a couple and five people in it. I have lived for two years, which is a long time. They all moved here last year. Among them, A moved here before the Spring Festival, that is, the latter one.
Everyone is busy with their own affairs every day and seldom meet each other. In addition to receiving express delivery occasionally, there are still one or two words to exchange when paying water, electricity and gas bills every month.
However, it is these two sentences that have also caused trouble.
I guess it's because they haven't seen speeches and eloquence!

I was not angry at home the day before yesterday. I asked everyone in the WeChat group, do I need to pay? If you pay, you can take off your clothes and take a shower at night; If you don't pay it, you can only take a shower after you pay it.
Everyone said in unison: pay.
This job naturally fell on my head. No one has ever paid the fee since they came. This month's water bill has been issued by the water company for more than ten days and is still posted at the gate. I can't understand their calm. Instead of looking at each other, do it yourself.
After I pay the fee, I'll tell you how much each household costs on average according to the previous distribution method. C and D happily transferred the money to me, but A kept texting me alone:
"Five people live, why should they be divided into four households?" "Can two people live with one person?"
"Why pay his girlfriend?"
"This is not a question of how much money, but a matter of principle. Why let others share the cost of his own house? "
"Such people can't adapt, and the more they adapt, the more energetic they are."
Finally, I got two core words-"I shared them with five people, and you lost more than ten dollars." "Otherwise, don't hand it in next time. It has stopped. "
Every word makes sense! Righteousness Healthy body!
It's just that this guy is really energetic. He has time to type so much, complain and not think about how to make money. Even if you pick up bottles like me, it won't be like this!
Instead, I married my dog. They lived for months and knew nothing. I volunteered to pay, so I have to pay for your willfulness. Even my son can't be so loyal!

Speaking of "all stopped", I really want to complain.
A few years later, I returned to Beijing. I pushed open the door, and there was no electricity or gas. When I opened the refrigerator, a sour smell came to my nose-everything in the refrigerator was rotten, including the messy meat, because of the arrears and power failure. If I wasn't familiar with the contents of the refrigerator, I would think who was dismembered.
I still remember when I came home many years ago, everything was fine. When I got home, A suddenly asked how to charge in the WeChat group, and I told him the whole process. At that time, I was happy for his initiative, and there were others! Unexpectedly, it turned out to be like this.
I quickly charged the fee and explained the situation to them in the WeChat group. After that, A immediately sent me a separate message: "I don't care how you paid before. From now on, regardless of water, electricity and gas, you will pay by the head! " I am alone in my room. "
To be honest, it doesn't matter to me. It's good for someone to give advice. As long as you can come up with a solution and preside over its implementation, your opinion will take effect. It's like giving advice to a leader in the workplace, with a solution to the problem, instead of saying "disagree". Otherwise, it's empty. Nobody listens to you.
However, he didn't. When he threw his opinion into the group and was denied by D, he fell into the stage of "full stop". The gas has stopped for a long time, but I dare not pay it. Although I don't have much money, both time and money are running away. I'm full! Is it easy to pick up a few bottles of broken silver by the hour?
During that time, I looked everywhere for a bath and saw the charm of different friends' bathrooms, but it was also very comfortable.

Frankly speaking, this is not the first time for me.
20 14 years, I still work in that magazine with the most sincere feelings.
This is a very warm place. Considering the hard work of colleagues and the capital market, the boss built a layer on the top floor of the magazine building from the overall situation, separating a number of small single rooms, almost a dozen square meters, to be a single dormitory for everyone.
It's really nice to have such a room in Beijing. I once had the illusion of owning multiple properties, and even wanted to tell the world.
Considering everyone's practical difficulties, the boss also paid for the installation of central air conditioning, which can be used in every room. It's just that we need to pay a small amount of electricity. However, it is this little electricity bill that causes everyone to have no air conditioning available in the end.
Share the electricity bill equally. Every month, when the company's logistics copy the electricity meter to calculate the electricity bill, some people always think that it is unfair to share the electricity bill equally. They always think that someone has taken advantage of themselves, but they never admit the fact that they turn on the air conditioner all night.
In the end, everyone voted unanimously as they voted for the village chief: the air conditioner was turned off and it was forbidden to use it. Make it infinitely hot in summer and infinitely cold in winter.
In those winters, I slept with four quilts and two down jackets on my legs every night. In order to avoid freezing at night, I can't stay up at all.
Although they are all literati, the outside world thinks that they are of high quality. We know exactly what we are thinking.

I lost more than ten dollars! Not to be taunted, I hide, it's always okay! And I made it clear to D that he made up the difference for me.
Good boy, the best quality is not how much better than others, but understanding and respecting others. Some so-called persistence and principles are actually worthless. Unless you speak thoroughly, speak the mind of others and win recognition.
Speaking of A, I don't know or understand. Only two things are clear: first, there are only two cooks in the shared room, and the other is me. This is one of the reasons why I take the initiative to pay for everyone. Cooking, water consumption and gas consumption are all real, nobody cares, I can reflect on myself at any time! The second thing, let me so far surge of emotion surge.
That night, when I got home, I just opened the door and smelled a strong smell of wine. As I approached my cabin, I heard the girl's voice from the next room-"No, I really can't drink." Oh, here comes the "girlfriend", drinking. In order not to disturb others, I hurried into the house.
However, there is a voice from the next door that is only available in the small video of the island country. Monosyllabic modal particles are getting louder and louder, so bold and vivid. Through the wall, hitting my eardrum, I was a little excited. It doesn't matter if you wear headphones, you can barely calm down.
This is the first time I have encountered such a thing since renting a house. Once, I rented a partition room and was always worried that this would happen, but it never happened. Now living in the second bedroom, I thought the sound insulation effect was good, but I was wrong!
I don't know how long it took, but when the girl came out to take a shower, I couldn't help shouting for her-"Ah!"

A good person, a happy life, why is it meaningless? I have always felt that there is no fairness in collective life, and individuals do not need to pursue fairness or even emphasize fairness. Balance is the most important thing.
They all drift north and share the same tenant. Harmony is the driving force of life. The core of ensuring harmony lies in balance. Now that you have a balance, don't try to break it as soon as you start. Respecting rules and balance doesn't mean you are weak. If you feel unreasonable, you can also make suggestions, and you are more welcome to respect your own suggestions and re-create a balance. But the premise of solving this problem is that you should give full play to your charm and expressive ability and convince all participants. Until everyone is satisfied, then implement it. If you have neither power nor charm, it is unreasonable to just say "I disagree" and "I respect principles" and then go your own way. No matter how reasonable the request is, it will also be ridiculed. The workplace is like this, and so is life.
Many people don't understand this truth, but live in the principle of what they do and don't want to come out. I once had a colleague, that's all.
Every time everyone asked him to have dinner with him, he tried his best to refuse, on the grounds that he had already cooked the food. However, in the end, everyone often meets him in the same restaurant. He was embarrassed, and so were we.
More often, we won't call him. Maybe it's because he doesn't like that we don't take a shower. He smells! We are getting more and more familiar, but he is getting more and more distant.
We know that he doesn't have much financial pressure, but his life is very good. We all agree and respect this.
Occasionally, I really can't stand the face. Call him together. No one has ever asked him to pay the bill.
However, every time he checks out, he immediately goes to the cashier to ask how much it costs. Then, insist that the cashier print a menu and check the amount. When he comes back, he will return the money to the colleague who settled the bill soon. The amount he gave is exactly the total bill, divided by the number of participants, and then how much is a person. Zero zero, a few cents is clear.
And he left us a wise saying-"Brothers, settle accounts clearly!"
From then on, no matter what action, we don't call him. Because we all know that no matter how hard we try, we can't keep up with his rhythm.

I am busy every day. I don't have enough time to pick up the bottle. I always feel that it is not worth wasting time for some trivial things, even if it is only water, electricity and gas. However, in this case, there seems to be no good way.
I told my friends about my troubles. I asked her, "Is it because of poverty?"
The friend said, "Maybe."
I quickly complained: "I am poor again, can I be poor?" Steaming a pot of rice on Sunday takes three days. The next meal is two yuan of small rapeseed, fried a little every day. "
The friend said, "In fact, human nature is like this. This is the ability of some people to find fault with others. In their eyes, he won't be satisfied with anything you do. At least, he will take a look at the existing balance when he participates, and then try his best to break it irresponsibly, and it is said that it is for the sake of principle. In fact, such people have no friends. "
Alas, it's not just no friends. I guess it's hard to have a girlfriend.
There are often some pretty girls who ask me for help to introduce them. I'm afraid I'll hit my hand after I say yes, and I dare not say yes rashly. So I prevaricate every time: "All the boys I know like to bury themselves in writing, which is boring and inappropriate."
They will immediately say, "If it's not fun, I'll take it. It doesn't matter. "
I was helpless and explained, "He went out for dinner with you. After spending 16 yuan, he will ask you for 8 yuan. Is this acceptable? "
They were silent.
From then on, I was finally quiet!
