The next morning, Gu Yulan still cooked, and then asked Hongli to get up, and the whole process and situation were almost the same as yesterday. The difference is that she took a bus to work yesterday and switched to cycling today.

On the surface, the cleaning team implements a responsibility system, and everyone has their own responsibility area, as long as they finish their own work, they will be fine, but in reality this is not the case. Even if you finish your work, you don't have any control over the little time you have left, and you have to go to the area or stay in the cleaning team when you are free. If you want to leave early or leave, you will not only have to ask for leave, but also have to deduct your salary and bonus.

Of course, Gu Yulan didn't want her work and bonuses to be deducted. However, she still made a decision last night lying on the kang: no matter what, she had to find time to go to the talent market again tomorrow. And the plan is to hurry up and work in the morning, do not rest at noon, work until half past 12 and then leave, take two hours off, and come back at 3 o'clock, so that the work will not be delayed, and the matter will be done, even if the salary and bonus are deducted, it will not be too much.

Of course, Gu Yulan knows that there is little hope for going to the talent market, because she has been with Hongli several times before, but every time she goes with hope and returns with disappointment. The reason for this situation is mainly because: the job in the picture of Gu Yulan is either the employer thinks that Hongli has a low education and does not hire, or Hongli is tired and refuses to go; But where Hongli likes the job, either the employer is too demanding, or Gu Yulan does not agree. As a result, Gu Yulan could only be in a hurry. Later, Gu Yulan also urged Hongli more than once, asking her to go back to the talent market by herself, and if she ran into a considerable job, everything would be solved. It's just that, in the face of her mother's urging, Hongli had already expressed her attitude and said: "Mom, the talent market is going to you, and I won't go to that broken place again." As soon as I entered the talent market, I had a headache. ”

Gu Yulan could only persuade her daughter, saying, "Don't go...... How can I get a job if I don't go? Let's go check it out, in case it ......."

Hearing her mother say this, Hongli shook her head vigorously and said, "Mom, there is no good thing. In the talent market, either this one thinks I have a low education, or that one ...... Lose face! ”

Gu Yulan said: "How can we be ashamed to do work with low academic qualifications, take money with low academic qualifications, and eat with labor?" ”

Yes, Hongli is embarrassed and can not go. Gu Yulan couldn't help but go, because she was her mother, and because she had no other way.

As soon as she arrived in the responsible area the next day, Gu Yulan began to get busy. She decided to go to the talent market in the afternoon. To finish the day's work in one morning, we must not hurry. Fortunately, the work went well. The only surprise was that the team leader didn't say anything in the morning, and came to inform her at half past 10 o'clock, asking her to return to the group for a meeting at 11:10.

Gu Yulan returned to the cleaning team on time. At this meeting, Sister Li, the team leader, conveyed the instructions of Director Wang of the General Affairs Department: the New Year is coming, and the cleaning team should conduct a sanitation cleaning of the whole office to ensure that it is clean and clean to welcome New Year's Day. Then the team leader made another arrangement. Everyone is required to clean up the responsible area inch by inch, and must not be sloppy, not confused, and not leave dead ends. In particular, the ceiling lamp on the ceiling must be wiped clean, and the use of the 5 ladders has been arranged according to the old rules, the cleaner who is responsible for Building A, Building B, Building C, Building D, Building E, will use it first this afternoon, and the cleaner who is responsible for Building F, Building G, Building H and the administrative office buildings will use it again tomorrow, and they are not allowed to scramble.

Gu Yulan originally wanted to ask for leave after the meeting, but she didn't expect a new situation to appear, so she could only swallow back the words that had already come to her lips. The anxiety in her heart can be imagined. Hongli's recent situation is a little bad: lazy, gluttonous, and fun-loving...... Especially every time she meets Xiaoqian and Caixia, she yearns for food, clothing and fun, which makes Gu Yulan both worried and anxious. Therefore, when she had lunch, she thought: "Hongli works well in the morning, and I still have to ask for leave in a while." The team leader asked to wipe the ceiling lamp in the afternoon, and I started at noon, so that when others came to work in the afternoon, the ceiling lamp on the two floors of my area should be wiped out, and then I asked the team leader for leave, even if she didn't want to, there were eighty percent of them who could agree. After making up her mind, Gu Yulan didn't stop for even a minute after lunch, took out the ladder from the warehouse and rushed to the responsible area.

Building E, which Gu Yulan is in charge of, is a scientific research building, and there is a sign on the door of almost all the rooms that enters, "No entry without permission". Therefore, although Gu Yulan has been cleaning in this building for several years, she only deals with public facilities such as corridors, staircases, toilets, etc., and she has never entered any of the other rooms in the building.

Speaking of cleaning, although Gu Yulan is not afraid of being dirty or tired, there is one thing that always makes her scared: go high. The indoor height of ordinary residential buildings is below the third floor, but the height of the corridor from the ceiling to the ground is 4.2 meters, so it has become a problem for Gu Yulan to wipe the ceiling lamps on the ceiling of the corridor. In the past, when doing this work, Gu Yulan always moved the ladder first, and then asked Wang Yaru or Chu Yunmei to help her hold the ladder to strengthen her courage, and then she tried to return the work when Wang Yaru or Chu Yunmei was in need. But today she only carried the ladder, but no one looked for it—it was noon, and she was embarrassed to take advantage of other people's rest.

Gu Yulan's general cleaning order is from the top floor down, and she still starts from the 7th floor at noon today. There are 11 ceiling lamps on each floor. In the past, it took about 20 minutes to clean these 11 lights, but today it takes half an hour. Obviously, she was moving much slower than before because of fear.

After wiping the last light on the 7th floor and coming down from the ladder, Gu Yulan should have rested for a while, took a breath, and let her trembling legs slow down. However, when she found that there were 40 minutes to 1 o'clock, and she could still wipe the lamp on the first floor if she had caught it up, she dispelled the idea of resting. Quickly carried the ladder to the 6th floor, pointed the ladder at the innermost light at the west end of the corridor, and then went up the ladder. As she worked, she kept reminding herself, "You have to hurry." "It's really fast, it only took 8 minutes to wipe 5 lights. Gu Yulan wiped the sweat on her face with her sleeve, and moved the ladder to the bottom of the sixth lamp.

The ladder used by Gu Yulan is made of aluminum alloy. The two legs make up one, for a total of two. When you use it, open the two doors one point and stand on the ground. When you run out, close the two doors together, lift them up and go. It is really a convenient and applicable climbing tool. The only drawback is that the tops of the two doors are connected by hinges, which is slightly less integral, and may be a little shaky when going up to the top.

Gu Yulan was a little hesitant when she wiped the sixth lamp on the 7th floor, because the position of the 6th lamp on each floor was special: facing the stairs. The rest of the lamps have walls on the north and south, but this lamp has a wall on the south side and not on the north side. Therefore, whenever she stood on the ladder and wiped this lamp, Gu Yulan would feel that the space was empty and there was no landing. However, hesitation is hesitation, except for a slight pause every time she kicks to reduce the shaking of the ladder, Gu Yulan did not delay too much.

Gu Yulan stopped when she was still on the verge of wiping the lamp. The reason was that she felt that the ladder seemed to be shaking more and more. When you stand on the same ladder with both feet, you will be able to stabilize your body. She looked up and thought, "I'm just one step away, I need to hold on, I can't stop here." And wiped the sweat with his sleeve twice. She rarely sweats like this.

Gu Yulan took a breath. Just as she was about to make the last kick, she suddenly heard footsteps going upstairs, so she glanced down, and at the same time, her heart trembled violently, and she thought, "What...... Why is it so ...... Oh, my God! She found that she was too far from the ground. She didn't even look twice before she lifted her face. I'm a little dizzy. Especially when she looked down, she felt that the stairwell was hollow and she was tilted. straightened her body and calmed herself down for a few seconds, Gu Yulan raised her face and focused her eyes on the lamp, and then raised her right foot and kicked it again. Finally able to get to the ceiling lamp above, Gu Yulan took the rag, raised her arms, and began to ...... At that moment, her head was dizzy again. Instinctively, she tried to grasp something with her hands, but the slippery lampshade didn't slip at all. She also wanted to hold on to the wall. It's a pity that her body is tilted to the north, and there is no wall on the north side. Therefore, she struggled and shook a few times, and then fell off the ladder.

After her body lost her balance, Gu Yulan's first thought was: "It's over!" Then she thought of Hongli.

The moment her feet left the ladder, Gu Yulan closed her eyes. At the same time she heard a woman's exclamation.

Falling down the ladder, Gu Yulan's first question was: "Why doesn't it hurt?" She wondered: "Could it be that this fall has been fatal, and she ...... without even feeling the pain" However, Gu Yulan immediately realized that she was wrong, because at this time she heard an exclamation.

Gu Yulan opened her eyes, and when she saw that she was being held in her arms by a man standing on the stairs with his upper body leaning forward, she understood everything. Her first reaction was naturally to break free from the man's arms, but the strange thing was that her body was limp and she couldn't use her strength at all. Until the man holding her helped her up and stood still, her legs were still shaking.

"Check it out and see if it's broken?" That's what the man who was holding her just now said. Gu Yulan said: "No...... It's okay. Thank you...... Thank you for saving me. ”

I don't know if it was the fright just now that scared Gu Yulan, or the concern of the person who saved her moved her, Gu Yulan's eyes suddenly filled with tears.
