Song Yufang pursed her lips, put up the broken hair in her ears, and replied with some apprehension: "Mandarin and English are okay, and no one seems to be able to hand in the abacus quickly." ”

He Shunqing comforted: "To be a bank, you must first be accurate, and then practice fast." Girls are careful, we also take a fancy to this, especially to recruit a few ladies. ”

When Song Yufang heard him say this, she nodded reassuringly.

After the two of them walked around the overpass, it was not too early.

He Shunqing put his hands behind his back and said with emotion: "This is how things are in the world, when I didn't see it, I heard people say that it was amazing, and if it really came, it was just that." For example, I always heard the name of Shichahai, and on the first day I arrived in Beijing, I went with my luggage. When I looked at it, for me, who had been floating on the sea for a long time to study, this so-called 'sea' was really exaggerated. ”

"The water of Shichahai is finally good, because I love it, so I call it 'sea', but the people in the south don't approve of it." Song Yufang pointed to a small pond with a few lotus leaves floating in it, and muttered, "Beijing, everything is fine, but it's a pity that the officials are rich and the people are poor." Every year, the mayor says that he will build ditches and new roads, but every year he just talks about it. ”

Her words that the officials are rich and the people are poor outlined many of He Shunqing's feelings, and she couldn't help frowning, and analyzed in a deep voice: "The first good district, everything is really good." The best people in the country are willing to come here to study and work, so many people want to eat, live and live, and the Chinese pay attention to the people's food, so cooks from all over the country come here to try their luck. From eating, drinking, to having fun, one ring after another, it can be described as ......"

Song Yufang casually continued: "Clusters of cars and horses, stacks of fragrant powder, everything, all-inclusive." ”

"It's probably not an exaggeration to use these four sentences." He Shunqing smiled and bowed slightly, and then his mind became solemn, "Everything is good, but everywhere you see the ...... who scatter gold and pick gold."

"And no one digging for gold?"

Song Yufang took it casually, but asked He Shunqing to look at her even more differently, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Today's students have much higher vision than when we were studying." ”

"I also heard from the teachers at school." Song Yufang looked at the two red clouds on her face and explained shyly, "Our teacher said that there are many kinds of economy, such as the consumption economy in Beijing. But in addition to consumption, people also have to produce. There are inputs and outputs, and then there is money in the pocket, this is a thriving economic state. Otherwise, it's just sitting on a mountain empty. I don't really understand anything else. ”

He Shunqing nodded his head and said: "That's right, but there are many people who understand the truth, and only those who use the truth in practice can be regarded as truly capable people and great people." I can't do that. Only by doing all your best and doing your career well can you make a little contribution to the country. ”

The topic is involved in this, and the atmosphere is a little dignified.

Song Yufang took the opportunity to ask: "Secretary He, will the Bank of China survive?" The newspaper said everything, and today at school, our teachers are still saying that because of this turmoil, many small money banks are secretly sticking water, and the situation is not very good! I have also seen local warlords, and even the central Ministry of Finance, express disappointment with the Bank of China's position. ”

He Shunqing didn't answer, but asked, "Are you disappointed?" ”

"What ...... I" Song Yufang bit her lip, obviously a little stumped, and thought for a while before saying, "If I didn't go to the exam, I wouldn't be the kind of person who had the opportunity to enter the bank." But in my opinion, no matter how much money people put in the bank, it must be accessible at any time, so that people can rest assured. Otherwise, maybe one day the money I have saved for half my life will become waste paper. In that case, everyone will think that it is better to hide money at home. So, aren't we going back again? ”

"That's right! Although we don't have a single professional word, it sounds like a layman at first glance, but in fact, the layman's expectation of us is what we should try our best to maintain. He Shunqing sighed heavily, lowered his eyes and saw that Song Yufang's eyes were a little heavy, so he said with relief, "Don't worry, everything will be fine." Our bank is about to have a beautiful and generous trainee like you join, and there will definitely be a new atmosphere. ”

Song Yufang scratched her sideburns abruptly, and her voice was low: "I, I don't know if I can pass the test." ”

He Shunqing smiled a little reluctantly under the street lamp, and from the first time he saw him, his eyes were always bloodshot with exhaustion.

Although Song Yufang doesn't know much about economic issues, she wants to comfort this tall and lonely person: "I'm just a student, and I don't know much about many issues. But I have heard a truth since I was a child, that everything has to be done slowly, from one person to the whole family, and then from the individual to the country. Do the first thing, then do the second. Come the same way, the world will always get better little by little, what do you say? ”

He Shunqing chuckled: "That's right......"

"There is also a saying that is easier said than done, and I may not understand your difficulties if I talk on paper like this." When Song Yufang said, she glanced up at the clear moonlight and said, "It's not early, I should go back." ”

He Shunqing, who had been silently re-examining her, blinked, a little smile appeared in his eyes, and said, "Then I'll send you away." ”

Song Yufang nodded with a smile, raised her hand and pointed into the distance: "It's not far from my house, you can send it to the mouth of the alley over there." When I entered the alley, I was not afraid. ”

He Shunqing hesitated for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Do you have time tomorrow night?" I have an urgent matter on hand that I want to do tomorrow when I get off work. However, I'm not worried about the office stuff, can you come and watch it for me for a few hours? I'll pay for it. ”

Song Yufang promised repeatedly: "I have received the great kindness of Secretary He, and I have not repaid it, even if I don't pay the salary, I am willing to go." ”

"Then it's decided." He Shunqing smiled, took out a small notebook and a pen from the pocket of his suit, and prepared to write down something, "By the way, which school is Misi Song?" I'll ask Uncle Chang to pick you up tomorrow. ”

"Beman Girls' High School."

He Shunqing's writing hand paused, and he knocked twice on his forehead with the pen stick, and suddenly said: "No wonder, it is indeed a famous school full of talents." ”

###

After saying goodbye to He Shunqing, Song Yufang's steps back home slowly became heavy.

There was no light in the house yet, and Song Jinfang had come back early and had already fallen asleep.

The house was horribly dark and terrifyingly quiet.

Song Yufang touched the darkness and polished the foreign lamp, lit the kerosene lamp, and went to the back room to take a look. Because he didn't see Mrs. Song, he walked to the kitchen and whispered to the tired figure in the dark, "My dad...... Let's go? ”

Mrs. Song didn't speak, didn't even move, as if she hadn't heard anything, just dripping bitter tears from her stomach.

inevitably touched her sore spots, and Song Yufang didn't even dare to sigh out loud. Quietly put down the lamp, and put the teacup on the table with the back of his hand: "It's cold, I'll change a hot cup for you." ”

Song Yufang turned around and neatly rolled up her sleeves. After making tea, I went to knead the dough again, and prepared to spread a cake mat for Mrs. Song to cushion her hunger.

Hearing the movement on the stove, Mrs. Song put away her tears and looked behind her. When she arrived, her daughter knew that she felt sorry for her, and remembered that she hadn't eaten dinner yet. My heart softened, and I was already angry, but the exit was still in a strange tone: "I haven't been out for a long time and I don't know how to come back, have you eaten by yourself?" ”

"I met Yongxi on the road, the two of us...... Went to the fire shop. Song Yufang lied, and her face was a little hot.

Mrs. Song nodded, took a sip of tea first, and then continued: "You have to be careful, Miss Fu's family is particular, if this is bad, we can't afford it." ”

Song Yufang's face condensed slightly, and she didn't say anything, but her heart was cold. She wants to leave the door with Fu Yongxi and make a true friend. But everyone, including her mother, thinks in their hearts that there is a class distinction between them, and people have to sigh.

When the stove was finished, Song Yufang turned hot water again, rubbed a hand towel and handed it to Mrs. Song, "Wipe your face." ”

The intimacy of her daughter made Mrs. Song slowly calm down. Compared with her husband's attitude towards her, he would never back down half a step, but he turned sharply and became more and more sad. She covered her whole face and whimpered and explained, "I wasn't aiming at you just now...... But why do we have to listen to the affairs of our own family? So if you love to take care of other people's family affairs, what kind of family did you divide at the beginning. If you don't belong to this family, why bother people. ”

Seeing her so sad and lonely, Song Yufang's eyes were also wet.

Song Yufang and her mother always get along like this, whenever Mrs. Song is unhappy with her husband, she will inevitably look at her daughter unpleasantly and change her anger. When he calmed down, he would make amends to his daughter again, telling how he was suppressed.

She knows very well that it is not easy for her parents to raise her, and she also wants to be a filial daughter. But there is a place in her heart that is never better, and she always faintly resents the daily quarrels between her parents. But I couldn't understand this to anyone, so I had to hide it and suffer by myself.

"You're not worth it." Song Yufang comforted Mrs. Song, who was crying more and more, "Mom, don't worry." I just can't get into the bank, and I think with my academic qualifications, it won't be a problem to hire a primary school teacher in Sijiu City. ”

"Teaching elementary school salaries is not ......stable," Mrs. Song just wanted to say that the unhappy situation at home was not caused by the school's dragging on the salary, but after thinking about it again, why bother so entangled and there is no head, so she stopped saying this, "Don't say it." You're a girl, and you shouldn't have been asked to carry this burden in the first place. Like you said, let's take it one step at a time. Although I don't read, I have understood it for so many years. Changing the emperor like a marquee, it is always finished when he is fed, and he may survive these two years, and he can be peaceful for two years. Let's just live. ”

Song Yufang held her cheeks and looked at Mrs. Song, who had no appetite, swallowing hard in order not to waste this mouthful of food.

A month, a whole month, why is it so long and so difficult to grade?
