The library is a small quadrangle, not big. The main room and the east wing store books, while the west wing and two reverse rooms serve as offices and warehouses.

The yard inside is not big, and there are a few wintersweet trees planted.

The snow on the roof has not yet melted, and the black tiles, red plums and white snow are quite artistic.

The door is also very inconspicuous. Even the sign of the Dongcheng District Library is shabby. It is particularly shabby among the surrounding government agencies.

There are not many staff in the library, except for a director, a deputy director, and four or five staff members.

And they all looked a bit older. They were either holding teacups or openly knitting sweaters with a ball of wool.

Sun Zhou took Xu Ningyan to see the director first.

The director's surname is You. He is a thin old man of almost fifty years old. He wears a pair of glasses and holds a book in his hand. He is fascinated by the book.

Hearing that Xu Ningyan was here to report, he nodded, then motioned to find the deputy director, and went back inside with his book in hand.

However, the aunt wearing a sweater in the office next door heard the commotion and took the initiative to take the person next door and introduce him to the deputy director.

The deputy director's surname is Qiu, and he looks kind.

After receiving Xu Ningyan's letter of introduction, he quickly completed the entry procedures.

By the way, I also introduced the basic situation of the library.

The predecessor of Dongcheng District Library was originally the external library of a university, and its address was not here, but in the two-story building next door.

But later, the two-story building was requisitioned by another unit, and this small courtyard was vacated for them.

After a search in the library, there weren't many books left, but they could fit in.

When working on weekdays, others have one day off and six days off, or no rest at all.

No one comes to the library anyway. They only need to clean it every once in a while, prevent insects from growing on the books during the rainy season, and move the books out to dry in the sun during the summer. There is nothing that requires them to do anything.

Almost every day I come to work to drink tea, sit there for eight hours, and then go home after get off work.

And I still have three to four days off work.

Deputy Director Qiu made it very clear that the people who come to work in this place have no ambitions and just want to get by.

Come to work and get off work on time every day. If you have something to do, you can take time off or change a shift. As long as you don't cause trouble, your life will be very leisurely.

When Sun Yiyi heard this, he glanced at Xu Ningyan worriedly, fearing that she would dislike her.

Unexpectedly, Xu Ningyan’s eyes lit up! Oh my god! This is more relaxing than I imagined! She can take this kind of class for ten thousand years!

I immediately expressed my stance that I will definitely follow everyone's pace, and we will advance and retreat together, and we will definitely not hold anyone back!

Deputy Director Qiu expressed that he was very satisfied. What we need is such a good colleague who will not cause trouble and is not radical!

Sun Zhou was twitching, how could this unit hold him back?

The aunt wearing a sweater next to her was very happy when she saw Xu Ningyan's cheerful appearance and didn't dislike him at all. She took the initiative to take Xu Ningyan aside to introduce other colleagues.

Xu Ningyan waved her hand towards Sun Zhou: "Brother Sun, please go back! You don't have to worry about me here! I will definitely get along with everyone!"

He followed the aunt happily.

Sun Zhou shook his head. It seemed that he was worried in vain. After all, he gave Deputy Director Qiu a few words before leaving.

The aunt who was knitting sweaters was named Zhang, so Xu Ningyan called her Sister Zhang.

Sister Zhang is a person with quick hands and feet and a sharp tongue. She can introduce all her colleagues in just a few words.

Except for two directors, one director and one deputy, the others are all clerks.

With a salary of about 30 yuan and working three days off and four days off, I am very satisfied.

In addition to Sister Zhang, there were four other people, two men and two women, who looked very young.

Two men, one named Wang and one named Hu, and two female colleagues, one named Gao and the other Deng.

They are all gentle and amiable people.

Xu Ningyan has a sweet mouth, and the two male colleagues call him "eldest brother" when he speaks, and the two female colleagues call him "eldest sister" when he speaks.

These colleagues were a little afraid of society, and they felt a little embarrassed when they saw Xu Ningyan being so enthusiastic.

I spent half a day with Sister Zhang, first I recognized all my colleagues, and then I walked around the library.

This library doesn't look big when you come in, but I didn't expect that there is something special behind it.

Passing through the moon cave door next to the main house, there is a large and empty yard, which should be a corner of the back garden of a previous home.

There are a few trees planted and a few Taihu stones, but not much else.

In the words of Sister Zhang, this open space is specially set aside for posting books every year. It is idle on weekdays and does not dare to plant too many trees, so it looks bare.

Xu Ningyan was happy. It was great to have this big yard. At least it gave the bitch a place to have fun.

After shopping around, it was noon.

By the time they came from the backyard to the front, everyone had packed their things and was about to lock the door and get off work.

Sister Zhang put the wool in her hand back to the office and came out to greet Xu Ningyan: "After get off work, go home for dinner! Just come to work at two o'clock in the afternoon! I will give you two keys in the afternoon, one for the front door and one for the front door. Bring the office. Then I’ll find you a set of desks and chairs from the warehouse, and we’ll be all set."

Xu Ningyan already knew that Sister Zhang was equivalent to the logistics in the library, and she was in charge of these things.

I thanked Sister Zhang politely, and then everyone left the library, locked the door, rode bicycles, took buses, and walked, and everyone went back to their homes.

At noon, Xu Ningyan had lunch and took a nap before carrying her things and going to work.

It was exactly two o'clock when we arrived at the unit.

After waiting for a while, I saw Sister Zhang riding a bicycle to open the door.

When the two entered the courtyard, Sister Zhang handed Xu Ningyan two keys and told her which one was the door key and which one was the office key.

He also told her that the keys to the main room and the east wing were hung on the wall of the office.

Everyone came to work, and Sister Zhang said hello. Brother Wang and Brother Hu went to the warehouse to work around for a while, then brought out a set of desks and chairs and placed them in the office.

Their offices are in the west wing, and there are three offices in total.

There is one room for the director, one for the deputy director and two male colleagues, and the remaining room is for Sister Zhang and her female colleagues.

The wing room is quite large, with more than enough room for four tables.

They are probably all gentlemen and have been influenced by the aroma of books. This office is particularly elegant.

Everyone has an independent place, and there are green plants on everyone's table, including pothos, orchids, roses, narcissus, and asparagus.

Especially the office in the middle of the room where the deputy director and the others were located. Someone probably liked growing flowers, so they placed a wooden shelf against the wall filled with various plants.

After Xu Ningyan cleaned the tables and chairs and put them in place, he also put away the big teapot, tea leaves and other things he brought.
