Chapter 52 Chapter 51

The next day, Shi Yan stubbornly refused to go to her future mother-in-law's house for dinner, but there was nothing there at Zhuoyue's house, no chopping boards, pots, or stoves, so she couldn't cook even if she tried her best.In the end, I had to make a compromise. I stayed in bed in the morning, didn’t eat after I passed by, and went to the cafeteria at noon to eat. Stay at the residence and watch TV, waiting to eat the results of his "mopping up". In the evening, Zhuo Zhuo brought some food from his mother's house, and even "mopped up" an old gas stove and some kitchen utensils. Zhuo Zhuo carried the gas stove upstairs with a "humming and eating humming" and called Shi Yan Going down to help, the two of them brought some messy cooking utensils upstairs.Then Zhuoyou connected the gas connected to the water heater to the gas stove. After doing it for a long time, his face was covered with sweat and oil, and his hands were covered with oil. After this coolie, you will have to cook to repay me in the future—"

Shi Yan immediately turned on the gas stove to try it out, and it was very useful, but since she hadn't bought vegetables or rice, she couldn't show off her craftsmanship as a clever daughter-in-law, so she had to boil a pot of water to celebrate. On the third day after returning to City D, Shi Yan started to go to work. When she was a student, she used to walk to class. First, the place where she went to class was not too far away, and second, there were few classes in the afternoon, so she walked back and forth every day. That's enough, besides, there is no place to park bicycles downstairs in the dormitories and classrooms. Everyone walks to class, so she didn't feel much about walking for four years.

But it’s different now, everyone rides a bike to work, if she still walks, it’s very cheap, especially in summer, it’s okay to go to work in the morning, if she walks back and forth at noon, and then walks home in the afternoon, it won’t take a week. Can tan like an African.She believes in the saying "one white covers three ugliness", and never believes that there are beautiful people among Africans, so she is most afraid of getting tanned. She shared her concerns, and wanted Joyo to drop her off every day, anyway, it was a holiday now, he didn't have to go to work, and it would take only a few minutes to ride a motorcycle to drop her off.

But Zhuo Zhuo said: "Let's go buy a bicycle. You ride to work. If I pick you up four times a day, I won't be able to do my job——" Although she was a little unhappy, she couldn't force him.She went to work during the day, so she didn't know what he was busy with, but he was indeed very busy at night, and spent most of his time reading and writing.He lives in one bedroom, one living room, and has no study, so he works in the living room and bedroom. The tables on both sides are covered with books, newspapers or magazines. She came to pick it up, saying that his things were placed according to the rules, she didn't know his rules, and if they were placed in a mess, he would not be able to find them later.

Her job at work is very simple, it can be said that there is no work, at most it is to register the scientific research funding application reports written by the professors and associate professors, arrange them according to the time, and wait for the vice presidents to approve them, which makes her feel a little guilty , It seems to be mixing the country's money. She felt guilty for a few days, and then slowly calmed down, because she found that other people didn't do much more than her, and they basically played around like this, with a cup of tea, a cigarette, and watching for a long time.As long as she's not the only one messing with the country's money, she's less guilty.The country's money may be used for other people's fooling around. If it's not for nothing, it's not for nothing. Anyone who messes with it will be a fool. At least she won't use the country's money to do bad things.

From time to time, the building will order fruit drinks and so on to take home, even toothpaste and toothbrush. It is said that teachers and students have summer vacations, but their administrative staff do not. They are fighting on the front line of the scorching heat, so they should be rewarded.Every time she divided things back home, Zhuo Liang said through gritted teeth, "Look, China is ruined by these people." She joked, "Then don't eat it." Not only did he eat more happily than her, but he also retorted: "Why don't I eat? If I don't eat, I can correct these unhealthy tendencies? I just want to eat. Only when I am full can I have the strength to fight them—"

She didn't know who the "they" he was talking about were those corrupt officials who used power for personal gain, which made her think of his "risky" but "beneficial to the country and the people" career.She was a little worried, afraid that he would really engage in some anti-government activities, but she saw that he would stay out of the door all day long, and guessed that even if he engaged in some anti-government activities, that is, if a scholar rebelled for ten years, he would not be successful. I feel like my worries are unfounded. And her own working environment also made her hate "them" a little bit. She regretted coming to this scientific research department, not to mention the overstaffed staff, and worried that others would treat her as Vice President Zhang's vase.As soon as she thought of the "vase", a terrifying picture appeared in her mind: Vice President Zhang's wife was found, and she must have said that she had an innocent relationship with Vice President Zhang. The planing made her look pale and disabled.Then Zhuoyue also came, and she must have said that she had an innocent relationship with Vice President Zhang, that she was bitten by her boss because she had a rotten egg, so her "scandalous incident" was published in the newspaper, and people Everyone despised her.

She is very careful not to have any personal contact with Vice President Zhang, nor any private contact with any male colleagues, especially the male boss, and warns herself: Be upright, sit upright, keep your eyes straight, and have no distractions. , Put an end to all misunderstandings under Li Xia. But people still treat her a bit like a vase, they always talk about that, and they always bring out her undergraduate degree to accompany them.Many cadres in the department do not have a bachelor’s degree, and most of them have technical secondary schools. Lao Ai said in front of her: “China is now mainly supported by technical secondary school students. Those undergraduates have no social experience at all. Men just know how to study hard, and women You know how to use a face..."

She felt that Oda didn't like her the most, and almost from the first day of work, he picked on her faults, from the tone of her voice to the calligraphy of her writing, from the length of her hair to the height of her heels, everything was fine and small, and Oda was concerned about everything. She can't see it, and she always finds an opportunity to express this dissatisfaction, which makes her very unhappy. She complained to Excellence at home, and Excellence said: "She is jealous of you——" She thought that Oda was jealous of her young, beautiful and highly educated, so she deliberately asked, "Why is she jealous of me?"

"Because my bike is better than her husband's -" She was disappointed: "Don't you call people so—vulgar—" "You don't believe it? If you don't believe it, you can find an opportunity to talk to her about motorcycles tomorrow. See if she spits and says that her husband's brand is good, domestically produced, and can be repaired everywhere if it breaks down, but mine is imported. Yes, it’s broken and there’s nowhere to fix it—” She really didn't believe it, but she really found a chance the next day and bravely got on the motorcycle with Xiaotian.Oda is like a toy designed by Zhuoyou. When she twists the clock here, Oda starts to spin. She said that a certain brand of motorcycle is broken and can be repaired everywhere, and then rolled her eyes and demoted another brand of motorcycle. One call, saying that so-and-so's motorcycle broke down, and there was no need to repair it everywhere, so they had to keep it at home.

When returning home at noon, Shi Yan impatiently reported the results of the investigation to Excellence, and praised him, saying: "You are really good at predicting things—" He smiled lightly and said: "It can only be said that women are too shallow, with long hair and short knowledge. I can tell what they are thinking at a glance. Stop asking her about motorcycles, or she should force her husband I changed to a better motorcycle, but her husband is just a stall operator with only so much ability, if she drives her husband to death and kills someone, we won’t be able to take responsibility—” She laughed loudly when she heard it, but he didn't laugh. He just said proudly: "If you follow me, you have to get used to being envied by others, and you will only be envied more and more in the future. Leave me alone—” She laughed again, and said seriously: "I'm not afraid of others being jealous, I'm just afraid that I won't be worthy of you—" "It's just right that your undergraduate degree matches my master's degree." "Then you still ask me to go abroad to study for a Ph.D.? After I do a Ph. D., won't you be worthy of it?" "Don't worry about this. When my career is successful, I will definitely become the Minister of Education. Famous universities will compete to grant me the title of honorary doctor. At that time, my doctorate is not worthy of your doctorate?" He sealed the official position and made a wish, "When you get a Ph.D. overseas, I invite you to return to China and become an official in the Ministry of Education—" "I don't want to be an official. If I get a PhD overseas, I'll come back to China and be an associate professor or something—" "So unambitious? Don't even dare to think about being a professor, only dare to be an associate professor?" "I'm not going step by step—" "I only heard that 'a soldier who doesn't want to be a marshal is not a good soldier', but I never heard that 'a soldier who doesn't want to be a squad leader is not a good soldier'. When thinking about it, you can't think about 'step by step'. If you follow the rules like that, what great things can you do? ?” She asked curiously: "Then you - aren't you going to take it step by step? Be the Minister of Education right away? How do you do it?" "I can't tell you now—" When she heard this, she remembered his anti-government activities again, and said worriedly, "Are you doing something—anti-government activities?" "Do I look like a rebel to you?" When he said that, she felt uncomfortable again. Although she didn't know what a person who engaged in anti-government activities should be like, there must be something-some secret behavior, right?Otherwise, staying at home every day can turn the government against it? Unexpectedly, within a few days, Zhuo Liang's secret act came.When she came back from get off work that day, she found that Zhuo Liang was not at home. She didn't pay attention at first, thinking that he was out shopping.When her meal was ready and he hadn't come back, she was in a hurry and ran to each room to look for it, only to find that there was a message on the writing desk in the bedroom, which was written for her. Among the piles of papers that Zhuo Liang said were well-organized, you couldn't really tell if you didn't look carefully. She picked up the message and looked at it, it was very simple, Zhuo Zhuo said that he had something to go to City E on weekends, but he didn't say what he was going to do in City E, nor did he say when he would be back. This is simply a bolt from the blue! She didn't expect that this period of time seemed calm, but it turned out to be a fake calm before the riot! She was sure that he went to City E to cause a riot. If not, why did he leave in such a sneaky way?And did not say when he will come back?This detail is too riotous. Doesn't that person just not bring the keys of the house every time he goes out to riot, to show his determination to go and never return? She forgot the name of the revolutionary, it was a story she read when she was a child, but she remembered this detail very clearly, because she had lost the house keys several times, and knew the pain of not having a key, so she was always worried at that time How could the revolutionary be able to enter the door when he came back later? I really wanted to say to him, can't you just bring your house key?If you die, you don't care if you have an extra door key, but if you don't die, can you save the money for the key? She looked around, but she didn't find that Zhuo Liang left the door key at home. He probably went to riot, but it's hard to say, wouldn't he just throw the door key in the cesspit?She was in such a panic that she turned on the TV and found out the newspaper to see if their riot was successful or not, or how far it had gone, but there was no mention of the riot in the TV newspaper.She wanted to arrest someone to ask what was going on, but she was worried that revealing his secret would bring him a fatal disaster, so she had to endure it, unable to eat or sleep, the seconds seemed like years, and she shed tears wash your face.
