Chapter 18: Roommates Meet
When Song Yufang looked back, she saw a girl wearing a blue cloth jacket and a black skirt tied around her waist, who came in timidly and greeted them: "The two of you are also from the training class, right?" Hello, my name is Leng Qiuyue, from Baoding, and I just graduated from Chongci Girls' High School this month. ”
"Hello, my name is Fu Yongxi, her name is Song Yufang, and she is in the same class as you." As she spoke, Fu Yongxi took a step forward by wrapping her arms around Song Yufang's arm and surrounded Leng Qiuyue, making her introverted face flushed.
Song Yufang felt relieved to see that she was dressed as plainly as herself, and there was no family to help her carry her luggage. At first, I was worried about whether every school would compete for places based on family circumstances. If that's the case, the last ones to be admitted are all Fu Yongxi's good grades and good family background. If she gets along with these people all day long, Song Yufang is afraid that she will not be able to raise her head depressed all the time. Fortunately, this new roommate should be a good fit for him.
"Are you here alone? Such a heavy burden can be carried by your small body. Fu Yongxi enthusiastically took Leng Qiuyue's luggage, and chose a bed by the window for her to put down, which happened to be opposite Song Yufang's bed.
The three girls sat down and chatted for a few words, and the last member of the room arrived.
The visitor was wearing a printed serge dress with short sleeves and a collar dug into the neck, and her skin was plump and snow-white. She looked a little older, with a duck egg face and a natural pink on her cheeks. A pair of watery eyes, a faint smile, very calm. She saw that the three people who came first seemed to be familiar with each other, so she introduced herself first: "Hello everyone, my name is Shen Lan, I am a fresh graduate of the Women's Normal University, and I seem to be the oldest in this school enrollment." ”
When Fu Yongxi heard this, there was immediately envy in his eyes, and he greeted him and said, "Wow, Miss Shen is too modest, not only is he older, but he is still the best educated in the school admissions." ”
Leng Qiuyue also stood up and walked around Shen Lan twice, as if admiring some rare treasure: "Sister Shen Lan's name seems to be the first one, I heard the teacher say that this release is based on results." ”
Song Yufang was the last to get up, tugged at the placket, and just smiled reluctantly.
If it's really a list by grades, she's the last. I can't be in a hurry when I'm in a hurry, where do I still have the heart to envy others?
Shen Lan didn't have any pride, but felt a little embarrassed: "I have studied four years more than you, even if I do better than you in the exam, it seems that there is a sense of 'rushing' in it." With that, he walked to the last empty bed and put his suitcase away.
The four of them had to get to know each other again.
Leng Qiuyue glanced at Song Yufang's schoolbag with pen and ink, and the school emblem was embroidered on it, so she smiled and said: "Beiman Girls' High School really deserves its reputation, and two of them were admitted at once. By the way, where did Sister Shen study in high school? ”
"Chunming Girls' Middle School." Shen Lan smiled at the three of them, "It's just a false courtesy to compliment each other." I thought that the Bank of China would not go to ordinary schools at all. The school you attend is not small. ”
All three of them were right, and then someone whistled in the hallway and told everyone to meet in the auditorium on the first floor.
###
The closed training class was held in the self-built apartment of the Bank of China.
When I first built the house, I took into account the need for both floors. The building in front is a dormitory, which is specially provided for employees from other places who come to Beijing. Downstairs there is a small garden, and a big playground. At the end of the plot, there is a slightly lower building that serves as a classroom and dormitory for the annual training of new students.
After everyone arrived, Tong Yinsheng, as the general manager of the new generation, first introduced his identity, and then made a speech: "First of all, on behalf of all the colleagues of the Beijing branch of the Bank of China, I would like to welcome the new colleagues here! Secondly, I would like to briefly introduce the main contents of the training course. The most important purpose of this training course is to build a bridge from textbook knowledge to practical operation......"
Song Yufang frowned, staring at the slightly chubby middle-aged man on the podium. She couldn't forget this face at all, it was clearly the person who carried her to the second floor on the day of the exam.
It's really bad, although I knew that person must be a bank clerk, I didn't expect that I was still in charge of this group of new leaders. I hope that his noble man will forget things more, and he has forgotten the events of that day.
Just when she was out of her mind, Tong Yinsheng's tirade was nearing the end: "All the young friends here are new to society. First of all, we must learn to be an upright person, and then we can serve customers wholeheartedly, serve the society, and serve the country. All in all, I hope that you will not only think of this position as a profession to earn a living, but as a career to fight for all your life......"
Then, for some reason, there was a sudden commotion in the auditorium, and everyone looked at each other in a sad manner.
Song Yufang's mind was completely drifting in irrelevant places, so she had to take advantage of the chaos to ask Fu Yongxi what was wrong.
Fu Yongxi replied with a bitter face: "The personnel department gave us a proposition essay, so that we can hand it in early tomorrow morning." I'm not afraid of writing articles, but I'm afraid of propositions, and if I choose a topic I don't like, I can't hold back a word at night. ”
It seems that the whole auditorium is worried about this.
Song Yufang couldn't help but feel a sense of self-confidence, fortunately she was born in a traditional family and attached great importance to the Chinese language, so this task seemed to be difficult for her.
Next, the manager and deputy manager of the bank took the stage to speak.
Finally, everyone lined up on stage to receive the textbooks for the training class. As a sign of appreciation, each one is hand-handed over by the manager.
The others were so excited that they took the book from the manager's hand and wanted to hold it all the time. Only Song Yufang went up in a gloomy manner, lowering her head and trying her best to avoid looking at Tong Yinsheng.
However, she seems to be a little too high on Tong Yinsheng's attention to this ceremony. In fact, Tong Yinsheng is not willing to do such a thankless task as bringing a newcomer. If he hadn't accompanied his bosses to make a full set, he might have thought about slipping away after speaking.
###
After dinner in the cafeteria, the proposition essay came - "My Outlook on Life".
Fu Yongxi sat under the lamp and whispered Song Yufang's name: "Xiaoyu, I seem to be able to do this topic." But you say, I'm going to write on the level of women's liberation, okay? ”
Song Yufang raised her eyes slightly, and as soon as she touched Fu Yongxi's eyes that flashed with an unstable light, she understood everything, pursed her lips and smiled: "But you can, but you are not allowed to talk about ready-made examples." If the ratio of men and women is completely unfair in this recruitment, you might as well hide it. We women are emancipating, and we are not involved in this matter. But you wrote it, what if the personnel department doesn't like to read it and affects your evaluation? This is an internal essay, not a newspaper article, and your passion should be used in the right place. ”
Such all-encompassing and irrefutable words made all the words that Fu Yongxi had around his lips scattered. She had to stare in disbelief, shook her head and laughed: "You are really a god, I haven't said anything yet, but let you say everything." ”
On the other side, Shen Lan, who was struggling to write, suddenly turned around, looked at Fu Yongxi again with a scrutinizing gaze, and said, "Misi Fu looks like a passionate revolutionary woman!" Why don't you do this, if you have time this weekend, I'll take you around our school. You may have heard of how vigorous the progressive organization of the Women's Normal University is, and how much it welcomes well-informed people from all walks of life to join the ranks of the struggle. ”
Fu Yongxi's eyes lit up, and she almost forgot about writing an article, and said with her palms stroking: "Really, I've always wanted to listen to the seniors of Normal University teach me experience, but it's a pity that I don't have the opportunity." With that, he moved a chair to Shen Lan's seat and continued to discuss the topic of women's liberation.
Song Yufang smiled and listened to them talk a few words, but Yu Guang saw that Leng Qiuyue had been lying in wait as if no one was on the case, because she thought that her level was not as good as others, so she quickly retracted her mind and made a fuss.
At this time, Shen Lan asked again, "Is Miss Song also together?" ”
Song Yufang saw that Fu Yongxi was so excited that she kept nodding her head and motioned for her to go with her. However, she thought that Leng Qiuyue, who was working quietly in the corner, was ignored, so she shook her head, pointed to the opposite side with her hand, and said, "Mi Si Leng is not from Baoding, and it is inconvenient to go back in a week." Why don't I stay, so that she doesn't have a girl to spend the night in the dormitory, and she's scared. ”
It just so happened that Leng Qiuyue had already written almost, and vaguely heard everyone talking about herself, so she asked with a blank look in her eyes if there was anything wrong.
Fu Yongxi said the words again from the beginning, and finally took a compromise solution: "Then let's go together, go to the Normal University to participate in club activities during the day, and go back to the dormitory at night." Originally, I was going to go home for two comfortable days during the holidays, but since there is water and electricity here, it seems that it is good to live all the time. ”
Leng Qiuyue first smiled gratefully at Song Yufang, and then readily agreed.
Shen Lan said: "Miss Leng has written it, let's hurry up." ”
Leng Qiuyue replied: "This is a draft for me, and I have to change it and transcribe it." By the way, you guys should hurry up, I'm tired from the first day, isn't it good to finish it early and go to bed early? ”
Everyone is reasonable, and they quickly get down to business.
When Song Yufang finished the article and got up to move her muscles, she found that Shen Lan, who was the latest to write, was already reading silently with a book of business English. Leng Qiuyue, who is the most attentive, has naturally completed it, and is looking at the official document.
These are all new textbooks that have been handed out today.
Otherwise, people have to go to higher places, and every time they go to a new level, the quality of the people around them will gradually improve. In the past, in school, although Song Yufang was not the one who had the best understanding and hard work, she would not fall into the middle and lower reaches. But when I got here, I have to say that without a little hard work, I am afraid that I will always be the worst of the four. Thinking of this, she quickly put away the yawn in her mouth, rubbed her temples, and took out the abacus she lacked the most to prepare.
At ten o'clock in the evening, the lights were turned out and the whistle was blown, and everyone went to bed.
Song Yufang moved the pillow to the end of the bed, just next to Fu Yongxi, and quietly told her the shortcomings she realized: "Look at Sister Shen Lan, her diploma is a lot higher than ours, and she is still so attentive." We need to brace ourselves and no longer be dizzy and immersed in the joy of admission. ”
Fu Yongxi lay on the quilt and listened, completely sleepy: "That's right, there are other people in the bedroom." If the four of us can overshadow those boys, I'd love to let me put you at the bottom, but if I can't compare to them......"
Then, I heard Shen Lan cough deliberately.
It was late at night, and everyone was tired. Song Yufang and Fu Yongxi obediently stopped talking.
