Chapter 85
Wen Jianning walked through the crowd and ran all the way in the direction from Zhong Hui's voice, and saw his gray-faced friend.
As soon as the two met, they hugged each other tightly and cried like the heroes and heroines in the movie, and there were other people next to them who were similar to them, and some walked in the direction of the city with wooden faces. At times like this, no one would laugh at that.
When the tears stopped, they followed the rest of their classmates to the school.
As soon as the air raid passed, the school did not dare to let them all go back to their dormitories, so they waited for news in the classrooms first.
A few hours later, the dead and injured in Kunming have not yet been counted, but there are not a few teachers and students who have been injured. One of the shells fell near the dormitory, and several dormitories were razed to the ground. The instructor of the first team and his young son were killed in the air raid, and the teachers and students of the United Nations University helped the family with the funeral.
Wen Jianning had seen the little child, and when they were in military training, they hid behind a tree and watched curiously with big innocent eyes. The girls like to tease the little ones, and when it's time to break, they coax them to call their sisters. Such a small child, all of them were blown up to a blur of flesh and blood, and their bodies were not in shape. The family cried miserably, and the voice seemed to be echoing in their ears all the time, and they refused to stop.
This is the first time since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War that she has been so close to death.
Wen Jianning felt that she should cry, but her eyes were dry and there were no tears.
It wasn't until the evening that everyone dragged their tired bodies back to the dormitory.
The impact of today's air raid on everyone was so great that everyone was in no mood to read or talk, and they all sat on the bed with the quilt in their hands, or facing the wall, not knowing what each other was thinking.
Wen Jianning also looked at the wall blankly for a long time before he remembered to open the box and began to count his books. Although she was in a hurry and didn't have time to count how many books she had recovered, she could estimate how much she had lost this time based on her feelings.
Zhong Hui also sat down to help her. The two worked together and quickly figured it out.
Wen Jianning sighed: "A few books were lost, and there are still a few that belong to someone else." ”
When she heard Zhong Hui's scream, she rushed to meet her, and it was probably at that time that she stuffed the last few books into her box before she could see them clearly. Take a closer look, it's all the original English version, it's hard to buy it again in this hinterland, it's very precious, and it must be returned to people as soon as possible.
Zhong Hui persuaded her: "If the book is gone, you can buy it again, and it's okay if the person is fine." ”
It's just these few other people's books, what's going on.
Wen Jianning seemed to see her doubts, and explained the ins and outs of the matter, before saying, "I forgot to ask which college that male classmate is from, but reading these books, it should be from the Department of Mathematics of the College of Science." ”
Zhong Hui didn't care: "This is easy to say, I'll find someone to inquire about it when I go back." ”
However, things did not go as smoothly as they thought, Zhong Hui asked someone to inquire, there were people in the mathematics department who lost books, but none of them could match the male classmate described by Wen Jianning. The other party didn't seem to know that he had lost the book, and he didn't come to find someone, and for a while, these books were left here by Wen Jianning and couldn't be delivered.
When Feng Xin heard about this, he gave them an idea: "In my opinion, even if that student is not from the mathematics department, he should be a classmate of our United Nations University." You might as well post a lost and found item on the posters of each college, and maybe the owner will see it. ”
Wen Jianning and Zhong Hui slapped their heads.
yes, how did they forget that there were posters?
Posters are a form of hand-copied newspapers that have recently emerged among United Nations students, and are often posted in places where they can be seen in and out of various colleges and dormitories. It's much better to use a poster to find someone than to ask around without a clue.
Zhong Hui and Feng Xin were well-connected, and they quickly helped greet a few classmates who ran posters.
A few days later, someone came to the door. At that time, Wen Jianning happened to be busy with club activities, so she could only ask Zhang Tonghui in the same dormitory to help send it, and this matter passed.
It's just that Wen Jianning thought about it afterwards, it was a pity that she should have taken the time to run and apologize to others in person. And what she always cherished was that when she recalled the events of that day, she always felt that the male classmate with glasses was very familiar, as if they had met somewhere before. But no matter what she thought, she couldn't remember who it was.
Maybe it was a male classmate when he used to study in Hong Kong, or maybe he had a relationship somewhere else, who knows.
She shook her head, no longer thinking about the useless things.
After the last Japanese air raid on Kunming, planes came several times, and according to the statistics of the local government, the overall casualties caused were not large, but they still brought great inconvenience to the lives of the people of Kunming.
The alarm sounded several times in succession, and everyone finally gradually calmed down from the initial panic. It's not that when the bombing comes again, it's that the order is much better than the first time when organizing a retreat and hiding in bomb shelters. When the Japanese planes are not coming, everyone can also go to class and work as usual, after all, life still has to go forward.
Because of the air raids, this year's training camp for college students in the city ended hastily.
Wen Jianning and the others finally had time to find a part-time job again.
Mengzi's night school was disbanded when he left, and since he came to Kunming, no one organized it, and many grammar students who had no errands had to look for new part-time students in Kunming, but it was so easy.
The students of the Polytechnic School of the United Nations University came nearly half a year earlier than them, and most of the errands that could be done were taken up by others, and there were not many left for them. Zhang Tonghui, who is in the same dormitory, searched for a long time, and it is said that they found an errand to help in a restaurant owned by United University students, but due to the meager salary, they are still trying to find a second job.
However, compared to the last time when he only wandered around the gate of the middle school like a headless fly, this time Wen Jianning seemed much more sophisticated.
She went to find the senior sister Fan who she knew in Mengzi.
In the days when she was helping out in the drama club, she listened to Senior Sister Shen's orders the most, but the person she was really close to was Senior Sister Fan. is different from Senior Sister Shen, who is not smiling, this Senior Sister Fan has a round face, treats people kindly, and is very popular among students. After hearing Wen Jianning's intention, she readily agreed, and the news came within a few days.
The middle school near Kunming City just recruited a group of young teachers some time ago, and now there is no shortage of teachers, only the middle school in the county is still short of people. However, the transportation between the city and the county is inconvenient, and they can only rely on walking, and some senior students simply take a long vacation to live in the county directly, and only come back during the final exam.
But Wen Jianning didn't want to delay his studies in order to earn living expenses, and still wanted to find a part-time job as close to the school as possible. As a result, she can only consider finding someone to invite a family in Kunming.
However, it is not an easy task.
In these years, most of the people who can afford to invite the family are also local wealthy families, and the children in the family are spoiled, and they often do not listen to the young gentlemen, but many students are also pampered by their parents at home, and they do not have a good impression of these disobedient students, and the two sides almost look at each other and hate each other, and there are not many teachers and students who can run in for a long time.
Sister Fan also said that these people who invite the family also have high requirements for students' grades.
Wen Jianning said her results before the last big exam, and she nodded again and again.
Although they didn't get their transcripts, no matter how poor the students of the United Nations University were, they would not cheat on their grades for a part-time job, not to mention that this kind of thing they knew as soon as they inquired in school, lying was the least cost-effective.
After listening to this, Senior Sister Fan mentioned to Wen Jianning that there is a Lu Mansion in Kunming that is about to ask a female gentleman to teach a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses in the family, and the salary is also very high. But she was only halfway through the words, and she shook her head first: "Forget it, you better wait, I'll help you inquire carefully." ”
Wen Jianning hurriedly asked what was going on, but heard Senior Sister Fan say: "This family is too noisy, there are actually a few female classmates who have been there before, but they still broke up unhappily later." ”
She asked again, "What's the trouble?"
Senior Sister Fan sighed and only picked a few things to say.
The male owner of this Lu Mansion is not at home all the year round, and his wife died early, and the person in charge is an aunt's wife, and the twin dragon and phoenix fetal students are her biological children, and they are so pampered that they can't do it. This aunt despises poor students in her bones and is quite critical of them. Mr. Xuan should choose two with the best grades, one to teach literature, one to teach, and one male and one female to teach children.
The one who taught the theory was said to be a boy from the physics department, and he didn't know how to endure it. The female classmates of Jiaowen went to several times one after another, and they refused to come to the door again because they were rare.
As for the pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, when Wen Jianning heard it, it was nothing more than stuffing insects into Mr. Woman's textbook, putting salt in the tea he was drinking, or making remarks and the like, which was annoying. Although it's just a child who is naughty, it's difficult to be around the adults, and if something is wrong, you have to protect the cubs, and in the end you can't teach it, and you can't beat it, and you can't scold it.
After listening to her, Wen Jianning had a rough idea in his heart: "Okay, I'll go." ”
Seeing that she decided to go, Senior Sister Fan was a little worried: "You have thought about it, this museum is not so easy to teach." Otherwise, you wait a few days, and I'll help you inquire about it, maybe there are other people who want to hire teachers. ”
Wen Jianning said firmly: "It's okay, I've already thought about it, let me try it first." ”
In her opinion, there are always more ways than difficulties, even if Senior Sister Fan helps to find another one, I am afraid that I may not be able to find such a generous one for a while, so it is better to try it first. If it doesn't work, think of something else.
Senior Sister Fan saw that she was so determined, and finally helped contact the Lu Mansion. Within a few days, the other party came with a message, asking Wen Jianning to go over and teach first.
But before she left, there was finally some exciting good news from Hong Kong.
"Yongding Bridge" was published in the Hong Kong University Gazette.
