Jiang Min once said to Yao Mi: "What do you think, Yao Mi, if you want someone to fancy you, he will fancy you." She is confident that she has this charm. Yao Mi only said: "I don't know. I don't want anyone to fancy it." Jiang Min felt that Yao Mi was not enough friends to say a word of his own. Jiang Min had a large number of male classmates who took a fancy to her in college.However, she realizes that she is a helpless person, she cannot fall in love blindly, and has to care about gains and losses.In the process of her haggling, the people who fancy her either see through her, or they don't want to wait to be "scanned" and they fancy others.In a blink of an eye, she graduated from university, but she hasn't found a qualified person yet, so she only earned the reputation of "manly flirt".Jiang Min felt wronged and troubled by this.Who has the leisure to "play" with men!She is twenty-two years old, her background is not good, she is not ideal in the old society or the new society.After leaving the university, there are fewer opportunities to make boyfriends.Her self-confidence was also waning.

She wanted Shanbao to take a fancy to her.But Shanbao's good background in this new society is not like the good background in the old society. She has no sense of knowledge and interest at all, which often makes her feel that she is "showing off to Shanzi".Of course, simplicity is a virtue, but too much simplicity borders on dullness.Luo Hou is stupid enough, and he is smarter than Shanbao.Jiang Min took great pains to keep Shanbao by his side, supervised his classmate's Russian language, and the two of them recited new words together every day.Shanbao admired her very much and was grateful to her.However, ever since Yu Nan proposed that the books used by their group study be gathered at his home, so that Shanbao could work and study at his home, Shanbao has been busy borrowing books from the library according to Yu Nan's book list, and sent them to Yu's house. Sent, I haven't been to the office for days.

Jiang Min went to look for Nina several times, but she never met her.It was a few days before I saw Nina at her library office.Nina was getting angry there. Nina hadn't been to the office for two days, and when she ran to the office that day, she realized that all the books in Yao's family were suddenly emptied.She felt that it was Yao Mi who dealt with her.Although she muttered that those books took up a large useful house, she only hoped that the Yao family would make the books in the house available for everyone to use.Her husband was very interested in those books.Unexpectedly, there were so many books in the room, and suddenly none of them disappeared.This Yao Mi!That's bad enough!She was gnashing her teeth at Yao Mi.

When Jiang Min came to inquire about the new book regulations, Nina was absent-minded, saying that Yu Mi had told her that it was Xu Yancheng and Luo Hou who went to Fu Jin to bring it up.Jiang Min said that she suspected it had something to do with Yao Mi, because she suspected that her eyes and ears were in the library.This sentence just aroused Nina's anger.She said angrily: "That noble friend of yours is so elusive!" She lit a cigarette and took a puff, and said with a "cough": "Do you know? Jiang Min, I was really shocked!" "What's wrong?"

"Isn't the library in her house always locked? She was transferred to the research team and put another lock on the door. I ran over yesterday afternoon, and they all told me that all the books in the room had been removed." No, the room is empty. I pushed open the half-covered door and looked, no! It was empty inside, I was so stupid. Our library is not empty. Yu Haowen said that he seemed to hear some noise that morning, but he didn’t pay attention to it at the time , Then there was no sound; I came out after get off work to have a look, I didn't see anything, so I didn't ask. Fang Fang heard it too, thought it was haunted there, so she was so scared that she hid in a crowded place and didn't dare to say anything. Xiao Hu I didn't hear it either, because he worked there and was far away. They told me that yesterday morning, your dear friend..."

Jiang Min does not admit that "that noble friend" is hers.But Nina ignored her protest and continued: "You are so proud! I brought Lao Fu and Fan Fan in together, unlocked the room, handed over the empty room, and she left. Lao Fu told everyone that the people in the room According to Mr. Yao Jian's will, the books have been donated to a library, and the library sent a truck to pull the books, and they were all taken away." "It must have been sold at a high price!" Jiang Min said. "Who knew! Not even a bookcase left!" "Why don't you donate to your own society?"

"That's right! If I want to know, I won't agree! So their family only dares to be sneaky! Doesn't the society take care of her enough? The same education! What is the same? You have to come up with a trick ! For example, you are a writer and have works. For example, you have studied abroad and are knowledgeable. You are just compiling bibliographies in the library! What academic ability!" She took another deep breath of the cigarette, exhaled a big puff of smoke, and sighed a lot at the same time, saying: "Now that righteousness is not raised, evil spirits and heretics are still rampant! Rare books are secretly sold for money, and donated to a room." An empty house is considered a great contribution! Old Fu is honest enough, and he and Comrade Fan Fan went to Yao’s house to thank the old lady.”

"I heard that this big courtyard belongs to their family." "It came from exploitation, you know? The blood and sweat of the working people is exploited, and they are still taken care of!" Jiang Min was very pleased when she heard this, because it affirmed her resentment.She is a real college graduate, but the people she takes care of have "equal education" with her. Isn't this unfair to her!She said with emotion: "Anyway, when it comes to caring, there is no justice. Without a diploma, you can still be considered a college graduate." Nina felt that this remark offended her, so she laughed a little and said, "So what if you have a diploma? It depends on your real talents!"

Jiang Min felt that he had said something wrong.However, the words have been spoken, and they cannot be recovered, so they have to use other methods to save them.She puffed her mouth, slapped her eyelashes twice, and said coquettishly, "Comrade Nina, I will be your apprentice, will you accept me?" Nina smiled.As soon as the corners of her mouth relaxed, she had to catch the half of the cigarette with a ring of lipstick in her hands.Soot fell on the brand-new camel-colored silk padded jacket, and on the dark brown woolen trousers that wrapped tightly around the stomach.She raised those eyes that seemed angry but not angry and looked at Jiang Min:

"What? Are you uncomfortable in the husband and wife group?" "Hold your breath!!" Jiang Min said willfully. "It's not my arrogance, it's an old bourgeois stereotype. We are taught by foreign doctors in college, and we don't need to ask the second and third! I don't believe that their husband and wife can hold the correct position." "Hey, we're all groping!" Nina smiled triumphantly and confidently. "Mr. Yu can at least learn with an open mind." Nina said: "Would you like to join their group? But you are also indispensable there."

Jiang Min sneered: "Let our noble friend use the same education!" Nina closed her eyes, complained thickly and affectionately, "Jiang Min, you shouldn't have backed down, you should focus on the key points yourself." "But the key point is still in my hands! As I said, there are not many works by Bronty, and I will grasp the background of the nineteenth century in England and so on. They are all programmatic. She only cares about a few novels by Dickens." I have to set the tone before she can follow the analysis and research! If I don’t do it, let’s see what she will do! I’m working overtime to learn Russian now! I’m learning Russian as a part-time job!” She looked at Nina knowingly Laughed. "Comrade Nina, you have to support me! We have agreed that you will be my mentor, huh?" She stretched out her palm half coquettishly and half jokingly, asking Nina to clap her hands and make a deal.Nina patted her palm lightly like a child.Jiang Min didn't dare to occupy Nina's time, so she got up and left with a smile.She is also busy going to Mr. Yu's house to distribute Russian crash course materials.Shanbao has not seen each other for two days. Before she could enter Yu's house, she heard laughter inside.When she got closer, she heard Shanbao and Yu Nan laughing and rushing to recite Russian vocabulary, and there was a girl's voice in the middle.It turned out that Yu Zhao was teaching them basic Russian. Yu Zhao has single eyelids, a slightly sunken nose, slightly thick lips, and two big dimples when she smiles, both of which look like her mother.The physique should be considered fit and handsome, and Mrs. Yu was also slim when she was young.She has an air of self-confidence and self-will.Jiang Min met Yu Zhao.As soon as Jiang Min entered, Yu Zhao said: "Hey! The monitor is here! We're talking about you!" "What are you talking about me?" Jiang Min was embarrassed. "Say you're going to die!" Jiang Min was really angry, but she only smiled and asked, "Why are you so angry?" "I have taken in two new apprentices. The first apprentice is named Dad, and the second apprentice is named Chen Geer. They are no longer your soldiers! They are now my apprentices!" She seemed to be joking and provocative at the same time. Yu Nan hurriedly explained: "We feel that haste makes waste, and haste makes waste. We have to be solid and walk slowly step by step." Shanbao said: "Intensive Russian is too boring, and you will forget it after learning it. It is not as easy to learn as basic Russian, and you will not forget it." Jiang Minqiang smiled and said: "Okay, I will be a third apprentice!" Yu Zhao said bluntly, "You can't! You are so good, I can't teach you. I buy and sell now." Yu Nan helped her daughter and said: "We couldn't keep up, so we had to sit in class. It's meaningless for you to study with us, it's too wronged. You should catch up and study faster. When you graduate from the crash course, you can come back to teach us." Shanbao's words are even more annoying.He said: "We can't keep up with you, and we have to be nervous." It happened that Sun Ma came in with a plate of three bowls of gnocchi, and Jiang Min saw clearly that there were three bowls.Yu Zhao's loud voice, didn't Mrs. Yu hear it?Isn't this chasing guests! She hurriedly said: "Then, you don't need the textbooks, so I won't bother you." She quit hurriedly, holding back her anger and tears, and slowly returned to the office.
