自从宿舍里装上电话，我们就变成了"君子"，君子动口不动手，当然更懒得动腿，有什么事宁可花点电话费，也不愿出门走动走动。我们屋有个小伙儿叫李雷，暑假找了份工作，在一家网站做程序员。昨天他上班去了，有人打电话找他，我接的。我说李雷不在，对方问他回老家了吗？我说没有，对方说："那你告诉他，我是他同学，你让他回来给我打个电话吧，电话号码是××××。"我拿笔记了下来(后来我才知道，其实那是斜对过宿舍的电话，跟我们不太熟)。
晚上李雷回来，我跟他说了电话的事，他说大概是高中同学打来的吧，于是就按那个电话回了过去。李雷是陕西人，电话一通他就问："请问你们这儿有陕西的吗？ " 接电话的人说："我们这儿没有，我们对门倒是有一个，你等会儿啊，我给你喊......"
马上，就听到楼道里大喊："李雷，过来接电话，你老乡！"
great
