Chapter 28 Chapter Sixteen

Luo Hou remembered that Yao Mi had several English translations of French novels, and wanted to borrow them to compare and read the original texts.Yao Mi objected to learning foreign languages ​​in this way, saying that Luo Hou was lazy and unsteady.She advocated that each new word had to be looked up in the dictionary by herself, and the words above and below the word had to be recognized before being remembered.Luo Hou didn't argue with her, and when she was not at home, he met with Aunt Yao in private, and then went to Yao Mi's small study to look for books.Since he helped Yao's family move books, he had gone in several times, and he didn't care when he saw that it was neatly tidied up.He doesn't have the habit of standing in front of the bookcase to browse and read, so it's rare to go there.

He didn't find the book he wanted, but he found the letters and notes between Xu Yancheng and Yao Mi, sandwiched in a folded newspaper, and stuffed by the side of the bookcase.Because it was not like a normal love letter, he only read a few pages when he brought it.It turns out that the two people's autumn outing is indeed true!He finished reading in one go, shrinking his neck and sticking out his tongue.Good guy!Is Yao Mi crazy?I'm going to be Fang Fang!Mom doesn't care!Is Lao Xu crazy too?To divorce!Heck, where did this start.There was no date on the letter, so it looked like there was still a long letter behind, but Yao Mi must have hidden it elsewhere.He has always cared about the affairs of the Yao family, Xu Yancheng and him are good enough friends, he should have a real talk with Yao Mi, but he feels that it is not easy to open the mouth, so it is better to wait for old Xu to come back, men and men can talk easily.But can he intervene in this kind of thing?

Xu Yancheng left Beijing in a hurry. He asked the leader for leave and hurried back to Tianjin with Lilin.It took two days for Mrs. Yao to receive his letter, saying that his mother had stomach cancer and was waiting for surgery.He did not leave an address, but said he would write later.After a long time, he wrote again, saying that his mother had undergone an operation and it went well.Every time he wrote to Mrs. Yao, he also wrote to the leader, so Shanbao knew about his situation.Everyone in the office of the foreign language group knows about it. Mrs. Xu was discharged from the hospital safely. Although she was weak, she recovered quickly.She was still determined not to come to Beijing.Xiao Li still refused to leave her grandma, and she also refused to leave her aunt. She was always a stranger to her parents and refused to get close.Yancheng and his wife could not delay any longer, bid farewell to their family in Tianjin and returned to Beijing.

They arrived in Beijing in the evening.Yancheng was going to Yao's house to deliver buns that night. Lilin said, "We have to sell the vacation to the leader first, and then we will see our friends." Yancheng said that anyway, the boss had a letter to renew the vacation.Lilin said that Mrs. Yao should be resting so late, she can't be bothered about a few buns.What Lilin said was right, Yancheng was helpless.He hadn't seen Yao Mi for a long time, and he couldn't communicate with her, so he could only post a greeting to Mrs. Yao's letter. He really missed her so much.He knew that Lilin was trying to keep him from seeing Yao Mi. If he went to visit Mrs. Yao tomorrow during the day, he would not be able to see Yao Mi at work.

The two of them will go to Fu Jin's office tomorrow morning to sell holidays to Bo Jin.Fu Jin asked about Mrs. Xu's condition, and then showed them a newsletter from the agency.Yancheng was still talking with Fu Jin, Lilin read the briefing and immediately congratulated Bo Jin with a smile.It turned out that he had been promoted from acting president to full president.Fan Fan became the vice president.After Yancheng took the briefing and read it, the classical group set up a research group, with Wang Bo as the group leader.Another group is "ancient book punctuation annotation group", Ding Baogua is the group leader.In the foreign language group, Yu Nan and Shi Nina served as the head and deputy head respectively. The original four groups remained the same, and Fu Jin no longer served as the head of the group.After reading it, Yancheng pointed to Lilin.

Fu Jin is paying attention to the reaction of the couple.He admitted that he lost his balance a little bit, he was too biased towards Yu Nan.But Yu Nan is close to the organization, has a relatively strong ability to accept new things, has a relatively stable grasp of issues in terms of positions and viewpoints, and cooperates well with Nina.When there was a personnel change in the club, Yancheng and his wife asked for leave, so Yu Nan took over the position of group leader.But Fu Jin felt that this matter still needs to be explained, so he apologized and said with a smile: "I consider that Mr. Xu is very knowledgeable, and Mr. Xu should be the team leader. But I remember the last time I asked Mr. Xu to be the director of the library. Mr. Xu expressed that he was not very interested in administrative work. Mr. Yu is very interested in administrative affairs. Enthusiastic. He is older and has more experience in personnel affairs. I think it may be more appropriate to ask Mr. Xu to be the consultant in the group. If you have nothing to disturb, you can ask for advice."

Yancheng said, "I'm already the team leader, so what kind of consultant should I be?" Fu Jin said: "The group leader is only in charge of the group, and the consultant is for the whole group." Yancheng laughed and said, "No need, a small foreign language team, two team leaders and deputy team leaders, plus four team leaders, there are not enough officials, what consultants are needed!" Fu Jin took a peek at him, and hurriedly said: "This way: Mr. Xu is invited to attend the enlarged meeting of the leading group." He felt that the lesbians should also be taken care of, and then said: "Now a women's association has been established in the club, and the chairman It's an old lady, I would like to add another vice president, Mr. Du to be in charge."

Lilin waved her hands hurriedly and said, "Forget it, I'm not worthy. I even want to resign as the group leader. What kind of group should I be? But I don't understand. There is only one group leader in other groups. One pair?" Fu Jin hurriedly explained: "To study foreign literature, we must draw on the experience of the big brother of the Soviet Union. Due to lack of personnel, the Soviet Union has not established a separate group. It belongs to the foreign language group for the time being. Of course, it should return its considerable status." Lilin expressed her sincere conviction, but she officially stated that she would never dare to be the vice president of the Women's Association, and asked Comrade Fu Jin not to suggest the addition of the vice president of Shana.Xu Yancheng solemnly declared that he was not an advisor in the group, and that if he had any opinions, he would raise them with the group leader; if he was asked to attend the expanded meeting of the leading core group, he would definitely accompany him (he thought: I’ll just sit in anyway).Fu Jin was afraid that they would get angry, and it seemed that they didn't care too much about it. The personnel changes in the foreign language group were considered appropriate.He let go of a major concern, and unexpectedly, uncharacteristically, he joked to Lilin: "You can't quit the team leader. Aren't you a husband and wife team? Abolishing the right of wives, wouldn't it become machismo!"

Lilin didn't want to say more, she was vague and didn't refuse. When the two of them returned home, Yan Chengcheng sighed. Lilin said: "When we were not around, Yu Nan was promoted to the palace, and we were under his control—it's also my fault that you don't want to curry favor, you only stammer when you speak in meetings." Yancheng only said: "Fu Jin! Alas!" He shook his head and sighed. Lilin complained, "I ask you to be a consultant, why do you push?" Yancheng said, "Is this kind of consultant worthy?" "It's good to have a name."

Yancheng said, "Why don't you become the vice president of the Women's Association?" The two faced each other silently.Lilin sighed and said, "I can't stay here any longer." Yancheng reluctantly said, "Actually, the situation is similar to before." "Now they've got their name! I say, we'd better go teach at the university, so we don't have to be ostracized by them." "But the teachers in the university have always envied us. There is no need to prepare lessons, change papers, or face students. Nowadays, students have different levels and requirements. Teaching is not easy! It is not teaching, but teaching students. We are qualified Son? A teacher like you wouldn’t blame you for spreading bourgeois poison! Besides, we teach foreign literature. When students ask you what’s the use of learning foreign literature, do you speak well?”

"We are only qualified to do logistics work and prepare some materials for others." Lilin was discouraged. "It's up to them to use it as they want." "They have dark eyes, know what we have for us! Just don't argue with them. Let's just plant our own garden." Lilin doesn't know what "planting your own garden" is.Yancheng explained the source of this sentence, Lilin said that she did not have "her own garden" at all, and she just stared blankly and was angry.Yancheng dug out many books and notes in his "kennel", and sat in the pile of books, lost in thought. At three or four o'clock after dinner, Lilin followed Yancheng to visit Mrs. Yao and gave some earthenware.They talked about the new team in the foreign language department.Mrs. Yao said that according to A Mi, Yu Nan had already occupied the team leader's desk in the office, and went to sit in Banban every morning. All the young people had to go to work on time, so Luo Hou had to tighten his bones.Lilin asked about Yao Mi, and Mrs. Yao said that she was reading randomly and was waiting for the two of you to come back. Yancheng wanted to sit for a while longer and wait for Yao Mi to come home, because he wrote a note and wanted to hand it to her privately.He couldn't let Mrs. Yao hand it over, and he didn't have a chance to tuck it in the small study; even if he tucked it in the small study, how could he tell Yao Mi that there was a note waiting for her.But Lilin refused to wait and hurried home.It was inconvenient for Yancheng to hang on, so he had no choice but to resign following her. But when they went out, they met Yao Mi coming back on a bicycle.She got out of the car and said: "Mr. Xu and Mr. Du are back!" She held the car and said a few words to them. Taking advantage of holding hands, Yancheng handed the rolled up note to Yao Mi.Lilin's third eye did not see.
