Literary Master 1978

After lunch, I felt a little sleepy sitting in the office in the afternoon. After 2 o'clock, it was time for classes. There were fewer students coming to borrow books. Hu Wenqiong asked Lin Chaoyang to go upstairs to walk around and say hello to other teachers, and get familiar with the library upstairs.

Lin Chaoyang went upstairs to say hello to his colleagues, and everyone was very happy to see him.

There is usually one person stationed on each floor of the closed-shelf library of the library. It is inevitable to get bored after a long time. It is not easy to find someone to chat with. Zheng Tongjiang of the first floor library and Tu Mansheng of the second floor library would not let him go.

When he reached the sixth floor, Lin Chaoyang took a breath and couldn't help complaining: Yanda is willing to install a special elevator for books, but not for employees.

The female comrade Du Rong was stationed on the sixth floor, and she wore a mask in the library. She was born as a worker-peasant-soldier college student. She graduated from the library science department of Yanda last year and was assigned to the library.

The library science department and the library are related majors and units. The director of the library science department of Yanda University usually also serves as the director of the library.

Du Rong felt particularly friendly when she saw Lin Chaoyang. They were both young people. Du Rong had just graduated and had been stationed in the empty library for many years, so she couldn't help but speak freely when she saw Lin Chaoyang.

"This air conditioner doesn't work at all, and it's too hot when the window is open."

"The elevator broke down again last week and was just repaired the day before yesterday. It has only been used for less than three years."

"It's okay during the summer vacation. You just hope that this thing doesn't break down after school starts, otherwise you have to climb dozens of stairs a day and can't even lift your legs when you go home."

If Lin Chaoyang was an unmarried young man, the young and beautiful Du Rong might be so enthusiastic that she would act like a Lei Feng and help solve the problem.

Unfortunately, he is a married man and is determined to lie down and be a salted fish.

So when listening to Du Rong's complaints, Lin Chaoyang just listened with a smile and responded from time to time to show respect.

Du Rong is very talkative, and is obviously a straightforward person.

For people like her, as long as you listen to her, she will do all the work for you.

In addition to chatting, Lin Chaoyang asked Du Rong some business questions. She had a good impression of Lin Chaoyang and answered all the questions, which benefited Lin Chaoyang a lot.

"It's been almost an hour since I came up here. I have to go back."

Lin Chaoyang came down from the sixth floor and took all the work on himself, so that Hu Wenqiong also had time to go out and walk around.

Although he wanted to be a salted fish, he still had to pay attention to the interpersonal relationship with his colleagues when he first came to the company. It would not be too late to lie down after getting familiar with each other.

When it was almost time to get off work, Lin Chaoyang asked Hu Wenqiong about applying for a library card.

"You young people are still very enthusiastic about learning. You think about applying for a library card on the first day of work."

Hu Wenqiong smiled and praised Lin Chaoyang, and then pointed him to the main desk.

Lin Chaoyang is now a staff member of Yanda University, so getting a library card is not a problem. He paid a deposit of 20 yuan and got the card.

The work of the closed-shelf library is relatively leisurely during the students' classes, which is a good time to read books.

Five o'clock in the afternoon is the end of the get off work time, but it is not the closing time. The library will not close until nine o'clock in the evening to facilitate students to read and study here. Every day, the library will leave some staff on duty.

Lin Chaoyang just came, and it is not his turn to be on duty.

He left the library and happened to meet the director Xie Daoyuan who was also off work.

"Director!" Lin Chaoyang greeted Xie Daoyuan.

Xie Daoyuan nodded, "Are you adapting to the first day of work?"

Lin Chaoyang only met Xie Daoyuan once when he was handling work procedures, and knew that he had a good relationship with Tao's father.

"The library has a strong learning atmosphere, and the teachers are very easy to get along with. It's a good place."

Xie Daoyuan's eyes swept over the book tucked under Lin Chaoyang's arm. It was the book that Lin Chaoyang had just borrowed from the library. He showed some appreciation in his eyes.

"Just get used to it. You young people have unlimited energy. You can't delay your work, and you have to keep up with your studies."

"You're right."

Returning home with the sunset, Father Tao had just got off work. Seeing Lin Chaoyang bring a book back, he asked, "Borrowed book?"

"Well, I was arranged to the front desk of the closed-shelf library. Students are quite free during class, so they can read books when they have nothing to do." Lin Chaoyang said.

Father Tao nodded slightly. Academic qualifications don't mean anything. Love of learning is more important.

Of course, it is not ruled out that Lin Chaoyang is just pretending, but Father Tao feels that no one is born to love learning. In many cases, pretending is also the beginning of learning.

Dinner was served at 6:30 in the evening, and the three brothers and sisters of the Tao family came back one after another.

At the dinner table, Tao's mother Du Ruohui suddenly said, "Yushu, you went to school alone before, and you didn't have to pay for food at home. Now you two are eating at home, so you have to pay for food."

After Tao's mother said this, everyone at the table looked at Lin Chaoyang and his wife.

Tao Yushu said dissatisfiedly, "I'm still a student, why should I pay for food? If I pay, then Yumo has to pay too!"

Tao Yumo immediately shouted, "Sister, you have subsidies but I don't!"

She was very dissatisfied with her sister's misdirection, and her eyebrows were raised when she spoke.

"If Yumo goes to college and still eats at home, she still has to pay."

Tao's mother's words blocked Tao Yushu's room for quibbling, and a bit of pain flashed in her eyes, "How much do you pay?"

"15 yuan per person per month."

"This is too expensive. We only eat two meals at home, and there is not even an egg in the morning."

Tao's mother said unhappily, "Aren't firewood, rice, oil and salt money? Isn't it time to buy vegetables and cook? Do you think I'm a nanny?"

Tao Yushu ignored her mother and calculated: "Fifteen yuan equals fifty cents a day, which means two meals, twenty-five cents a meal. I can eat meat for two meals at school, but I don't have meat at home."

Her calculations were clacking, which made Tao's mother glare in anger, "Then you eat at school!"

Lin Chaoyang saw that the mother and daughter were not giving in to each other, so he acted as a peacemaker and whispered to Tao Yushu: "Just pay it, mom and sister-in-law are also very hard to cook."

Tao Yushu glared at him, with the same expression as Tao's mother.

Lin Chaoyang ignored her and said to Tao's mother: "Mom, I will give you this month's food allowance after dinner."

Tao's mother nodded with satisfaction.

Tao Yushu reached out and pinched Lin Chaoyang's thigh under the dining table. He grimaced in pain, but pretended nothing happened.

After dinner, Tao Yushu returned to the house. She was still angry, like a cat in a bad mood, and said, "You are rich! You are generous!"

"I am doing this for the sake of family harmony!" Lin Chaoyang sat on the bed, holding Tao Yushu's hand and persuading him, "We have government subsidies for eating at school, but not at home. Besides, even if we don't think about the hard work of mom and sister-in-law, we pay the money, and the food at home can be better. Wouldn't you be happy eating?"

Tao Yushu pulled out his hand, "You are a good person."

The tone was still stiff, but the attitude had softened.

"It's not that I want to be a good person. It's hard for me to be in this family. Your mother doesn't like me. If I eat for free again, she will be even more angry with me in the future?"

Lin Chaoyang came up with a self-torture plan, and Tao Yushu couldn't sit still immediately, "It's not as exaggerated as you say, don't you still have me?"

As soon as she said this, she didn't know what she thought of, and laughed out loud.

"Have we reversed our roles?"

Lin Chaoyang's smile was slightly doting, "It doesn't matter whether it's positive or negative, as long as you're not angry."

Hearing his words, Tao Yushu's face brightened, "That's about right."

Lin Chaoyang was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but saw Tao Yushu's big eyes rolling, "How much money do you have?"

Lin Chaoyang's nerves suddenly tensed up, "Not much money."

"How much money is not much?"

Seeing Lin Chaoyang hesitating, Tao Yushu pressed harder, and even used a trick to hold his arms against his chest and rub them left and right.

In the end, Lin Chaoyang couldn't resist the temptation of beauty, and he handed over the 216.30 yuan in his pocket.

He felt that if he was in the Anti-Japanese War, he would definitely be a traitor.

"Didn't I give you 500 before you left? When I left at the beginning of the year, I gave you 200, and I also gave you 100."

Tao Yushu counted the money like a money-grubber and replied, "I bought so many things when I went back, do you think I didn't spend money?"

So all those things cost me money?

But he also knew that the money he gave might not be enough for the things Tao Yushu brought back.

After counting the money, Tao Yushu smiled and put the money into her own small treasury. Maybe she found that it was a bit unfair to fish in a dry pond this time. She comforted: "We are husband and wife, it doesn't matter who puts the money?"

"Yes, your money is your money, and my money is also your money."

Listening to Lin Chaoyang's complaints, she used the beauty trick again and hugged his neck and sobbed.

Lin Chaoyang felt that this girl must have been Daji in her previous life, bringing disaster to the country and the people.

Thinking carefully, it's not right. Wouldn't I become King Zhou?
