The odd man out

Monday, September 7, 2015.

The mood of going to work every day is heavier than going to the grave, for ordinary white-collar workers in the city, this sentence is a good interpretation of the mentality of the current working men and women.

Especially on Mondays, the two-day break seems to have been sped up by the hand of God hundreds of times, and in the blink of an eye, the good time of sleeping and going clubbing at night is gone.

This Monday has been particularly tough. For the general public, they have just experienced the three-day holiday of the 70th anniversary of the victory, and they have had a good time, plus they have already worked a day on Sunday because of the holiday, and then on Monday, they have adapted well. But for She Xinyue, who works in a district public institution in Lubei District, T City, HB Province, her mood at this time is 10,000 times heavier than going to the grave.

For no other reason, since the 21st of last month, they haven't taken a day off! This is the third Monday in a row of overtime!

The Victory Day military parade is a grand event for the whole Chinese people, but the staff of government agencies and institutions need to stick to their posts and maintain stability in case of emergency. After a red-headed article on it, She Xinyue secretly scolded a few words of bureaucratic style, you have a broken cultural and sports bureau and maintain stability, but you can only honestly refund the train tickets that have been booked a long time ago, cancel the plan to travel, and go to work obediently.

There are no two days off on Monday, and everyone will feel very tired, and She Xinyue is no exception. She staggered into the office with a dark face stuck at half past eight, and sat down at her desk in a daze.

Otherwise, what else can you do? At this time, there is no specific work, and there is not much to do except clean the office. I can't surf the Internet, I can't look at my phone, I can't even read a newspaper, so She Xinyue can only be in a daze.

Don't look at the fact that the Bureau of Culture and Sports is in charge of relatively little work, it is a rare Qingshui Yamen, but there are not many personnel in it. Take their office as an example, there are 10 people, and most of the time they don't have a lot of work, usually busy for an hour or two, and then they can only stare and wait for the end of work.

There are many people and few things, and the only result is that everyone is all idle, calculating and calculating, and talking about other people's gossip every day.

She Xinyue was very self-aware and reluctant to come to them, because she was the most frequently talked about in their gossip.

Overall, She Xinyue is an alternative person - of course, this kind of alternative is what others call an alternative, and she herself does not think so.

Most of the mainstream ideas in society are guidelines for people's actions, such as what is the best age for women to have children before the age of 30, which attracts a large number of girls who have just walked out of school to enter marriage and become mothers before the age of 30, and even some women who are approaching this age are eager to marry someone on the street with a random pull, regardless of whether the man is worth relying on or not.

A woman who is over 30 years old and does not marry will have a poor name: leftover girl.

She Xinyue is one of them, or she has entered the advanced stage of leftover women: she is 39 years old and unmarried, and she refuses to be introduced to her on a blind date, and the standard for finding a boyfriend is high, and she clearly doesn't want to marry.

Just think about it, what normal woman doesn't marry and be an old girl for the rest of her life? That is, parents like She Xinyue divorced early and remarried, and no one cares about what no one loves.

And she always holds her head high, she doesn't feel ashamed at all, she doesn't look down on other people's second marriages, and she doesn't look at how old she is, she is an old cabbage, and she is still a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl? Bah!

The so-called don't speculate more than half a sentence, these colleagues who are more idle than the old aunts of the neighborhood committee, She Xinyue will never say a word of nonsense to them except for the necessity of work, because as long as she participates in the chat, the topic must revolve around why she doesn't get married.

As a result, She Xinyue was added to be unsociable in addition to being single at an advanced age, only God knows how depressed she was in her heart, what else to say to these children's mothers and grandmothers, if you don't fit in, you don't fit in.

"She Xinyue, is this the watch you reported yesterday?" Director Yan Keying threw a large pile of reports on She Xinyue's desk, and successfully pulled her back to the office.

"Huh? Oh, I did it. "You don't have to look at it, which of those three generations of mothers is really good at working? It's all done by She Xinyue, and the single ones have free time, unlike them who have to take care of the elderly and children, and the idlers work hard.

"Look at the form you reported, the declaration time has not been changed, and there are typos in it! What is your work attitude? "Yan Keying recently made a fuss because of her husband's derailment at the deputy director level, which made her feel embarrassed, she was like a time bomb in the unit, whoever touched her was unlucky, and she would definitely not be able to pass the test without being scolded.

She Xinyue has learned the power of Yan Keying many times in the past few days, she is scolded every day, She Xinyue feels that she is a little excessive, sorry for her, she is not a subordinate of the unit, is it necessary to be angry with people like this? Who owes her?

However, She Xinyue honestly did not reply, after all, the leader is the leader, and the face still has to be given, just scold a few words if you are scolded, and the right to bark as a dog.

But She Xinyue's silence did not change Yan Keying's silence, on the contrary, because She Xinyue was seen by Yan Keying when she accidentally rolled her eyes just now, she stabbed a hornet's nest.

Yan Keying has always been proud of having a good husband in a high position and a good son who can study in college, and she can't wait to boast about it every day, but now she has slapped herself in the face, and she has made a lot of trouble at home these days, and when she arrived at the unit, she felt that everyone was laughing at her behind her back, and her depression can be imagined. She Xinyue didn't care in front of her, it was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

"She Xinyue, what kind of attitude do you have? Yes? As a leader, I criticize the deficiencies in your work, why are you still not convinced? Rolling your eyes? Who do you think you are? You dare to look down on me because you can't get married? ”

Although She Xinyue doesn't care that she is unmarried, it doesn't mean that she doesn't care about being pointed at her nose and scolded her old aunt.

"Director Yan, let's talk about the matter, please don't make personal attacks."

"Personal attacks? I'm telling the truth, which of my words is not right? ”

"Oh? Then if you want to say that, I still want to ask, is it better not to get married? Or is it better to wait until Lao Zhuhuang's husband cheats? At least I'm living a happy life, unlike you, my hair is almost white, and I'm still whitewashing the peace of the world! ”

"You!"

"What are you? My wife is really not serving today, I am not feeling well, and I will take sick leave today! ”

After She Xinyue finished speaking, she packed up her things and left, not looking at Yan Keying, who looked like she had been stepped on by her tail.
