Gu Yulan's cleaning group has a total of 12 people. The group leader's surname is Li, her name is Li Xiangping, and everyone in the group calls her Sister Li. Before getting off work last night, Sister Li deliberately gathered the whole group together, and repeatedly emphasized that she was not allowed to come late tomorrow, because at 9:30, the auditorium should be used in the office, and cleaning the auditorium is the work that the cleaning team must do before.

When Gu Yulan walked to the station, she thought, "I paid attention to the wind last night, and I forgot that it would snow." If I knew that the snow could fall so much, I would have woken up half an hour earlier. Then he thought, "There is not enough time on the road, and it must be late today." Therefore, Gu Yulan was not only anxious, but also quickened her pace.

Most people who have a fixed unit to work have a good idea of how much time they spend on the road when they go to work. Gu Yulan also measured carefully. The time she records is as follows: it usually takes 6 minutes to get from home to the bus by bicycle and 10 minutes on foot; On the road, although the bicycle is not as fast as taking the bus, it is a short road, and it takes 39 minutes to get to the unit, and the bus is not only far away, but also has to change the bus, not to mention it takes 50 minutes.

10 minutes plus 50 minutes is one hour. I went to work at 8 o'clock, and it was already 7:15 when I went out, so it was fast to arrive 15 minutes late to the unit. If you add that the road is not good today, it is not enough to walk in the alley for 10 minutes, and it is not enough to take the bus for 50 minutes, so it is difficult to say how long you will be late.

Indeed, not only is the house where the Gu family lives old and cold, but it is also inconvenient to enter and exit the place where they live. Although Gu Yulan came out of the courtyard gate from the house to a north-south gravel road, she could only walk 60 meters south along this road, and then she had to turn west into a hutong about 2 meters wide, and she had to turn south after walking a short distance...... On both sides of this alley are courtyard walls built by residents, so not only are there many potholes on the road, but also the width and narrowness are different, and there are many bends, making it difficult for people and vehicles to walk.

There is another one, because the walls on both sides of the road are bricks and stones, and the height is different, which is very unsightly. There was a lot of snow last night, and there were not many people who swept the snow in front of the door, so it took Gu Yulan 15 minutes to rush to the side of the road.

Of course, if Gu Yulan walked two or three miles south along the gravel road in front of the door, and then turned west to reach the asphalt road, it would take more time. Therefore, whether she is walking or cycling, she always chooses to cross the alley and walk this narrow road.

Gu Yulan was very anxious. It's just that the urgency is also in vain, and it was already 8:35 when she walked into the gate of the research institute.

The institute occupies a large area, and the surrounding walls are also high and strong. When you are far away from the research institute, you can still see part of the building inside the wall when you look through the wall, but when you enter the gate, you can't see the buildings inside except for the guard rooms on both sides of the gate.

The reason for this is that the sides of the road are not only overgrown with trees, but also many of the tall, large pine trees that are evergreen all year round. The branches of these pine trees stretch outwards by nature, so that they form a tree corridor over the road, and those who walk in the tree corridor cannot see anything else through the canopy and leaf cover except to look up to see the long line of heaven.

If you want to understand the institute, you have to go inside, and turn left or right when you encounter an east-west road, so that you can see the buildings and facilities scattered here and there. There are no Chinese signs in the building, and only those inside the institute know that the buildings in the east and west are codenamed with the English letters from A to H.

There are only two places in the institute that do not have a code name: one in the northeast corner, which is the boiler room; One is in the southeast corner, which is the auditorium that the cleaning team will clean today. In fact, the boiler room occupies not all boiler houses, and there is a three-room bungalow next to it. The cleaning team is in these three bungalows.

When Gu Yulan walked into the cleaning team, she didn't even see a shadow. She knew that everyone in the group must have gone to the auditorium, so she didn't even have time to catch her breath, changed into a blue coat and rushed to the auditorium with tools.

The blue coat is Gu Yulan's work clothes, and as long as she comes to the cleaning team, she will wear it all day long.

As soon as Gu Yulan came to the auditorium, she was busy. However, before a chair could be wiped, a voice was heard coming from behind him, saying, "No one is too late today, everyone arrived before 8 o'clock, and only you dare to do it against the team leader." The person who spoke was called Zhang Feng'e, and she easily put on the hat of "dare to do it against the team leader" to Gu Yulan.

Gu Yulan didn't need to look back to know that it was her, so she distinguished: "I'm not working against the team leader, it's ......."

Without waiting for Gu Yulan to finish speaking, Zhang Feng'e interrupted her words and said, "It's not the right thing, why are you late?" ”

Gu Yulan said: "I came late because the weather was bad. ”

Zhang Feng'e said: "The sky is not good? Today's sun is shining brightly, what's wrong? ”

Gu Yulan explained: "I'm not saying that today's weather is bad, but I didn't expect the snow to ...... last night."

Zhang Feng'e interrupted Gu Yulan's words again and asked, "What's the snow?" Why is it not too late for others to snow big? "Zhang Feng'e is in her thirties, with a knife face, thin lips, and is also a cleaner, so she has a lot of things to do in the cleaning team.

Gu Yulan said: "Others ...... Close to the unit, count me far away. It wasn't late when I got out of the house, but I didn't expect it to snow so hard last night that I couldn't ride a bike. ”

Zhang Feng'e deliberately lengthened her voice and said, "Unexpected? Why didn't you think of it? Our family lives upstairs, although the heating is hot overnight, the house does not feel cold at all, I also know that last night was wind and snow all night, you live in a bungalow, heating is a coal stove, the house is definitely colder than every day, how can you not know that it is snowing heavily? ”

Gu Yulan said: "I ...... All I heard was the wind. ”

Zhang Feng'e said: "When you hear that there is wind, you should think that there is snow. Master Gu, don't you know that wind and snow are always connected? In other places, the title "master" was originally only an honorific title for those who have skills or have taught them, but in the cleaning group, the title of "master" is just a habit, and has nothing to do with skill or dignity.

Gu Yulan said: "If there is wind, there may not be snow, and if there is snow, it may not be as heavy as last night. ”

Zhang Feng'e said: "Tsk! Usually everyone says that you are real, but they don't know, and your face is not red or white when you lie. Gu Yulan was wearing a mask, and although Zhang Feng'e couldn't see her face, it didn't prevent her from adding "neither red nor white" to her.

It turned out that the cleaning team also implemented a responsibility system, and there was a special person in charge of the sanitation in each building, but only the auditorium was left because it was large and infrequently used, so it did not need to be cleaned every day, so it became a collective responsibility area. In other words, the sanitation of the auditorium is done by the whole group, and if it is not cleaned, as long as it is cleaned, all the members of the cleaning team have to participate. Gu Yulan was late when she was cleaning the collective responsibility area, which made Zhang Feng'e grab the handle.

Because she was late for work, Gu Yulan was already uneasy, but now when she heard Zhang Feng'e say that she was lying, she was inevitably angry and anxious. However, in a hurry, she neither explained nor refuted. In the cleaning group, Gu Yulan has always been the least silent, and she has even fewer times to compete with others.

Seeing that Gu Yulan was no longer silent, Zhang Feng'e still refused to give up as if she had been reasonable, and asked, "Master Gu, did you let me speak?" Don't have anything to say this time? Gu Yulan didn't say anything, but someone nearby accosted her, saying, "Zhang Feng'e, you've started to send people again, aren't you?" "It was Sister Li, the team leader, who spoke.

Zhang Feng'e said: "It's not that I made it up, it's that Gu Yulan usually doesn't come late, but she has to come late when she concentrates on work." ”

Sister Li said: "It's just you. ”

Zhang Feng'e stopped her hand, raised her head, and asked, "Team leader, what's wrong?" Don't you say it's too late? ”

Sister Li said: "Xu said. But I'm busy now, is it time to come early and late? ”

Zhang Feng'e said: "Team leader, do you need to share the time when you come early or late?" This is the first time I've heard of this. ”

Sister Li said: "The institute is anxiously waiting to use the auditorium, and the most important thing for us now is to clean up here as soon as possible, not to talk nonsense." ”

Zhang Feng'e was unconvinced and said, "Team leader, why is this nonsense? Besides, I didn't stop talking, you see, I wiped these 6 rows of chairs. ”

Sister Li said, "What's the matter? Rubbing too much? You say your hand hasn't stopped, what do you mean you haven't stopped? Can a car on the road walk 20 kilometers an hour without stopping, and walking 100 kilometers without stopping? You've wiped 6 rows of chairs, but someone has already wiped 7 rows. Besides, even if you don't delay your own work, can you guarantee that you don't delay others? ”

Zhang Feng'e said: "Others ...... I can't guarantee that. ”

Sister Li said: "Since you can't guarantee it, shut up." Otherwise, don't blame me for deducting your bonus for this month. ”

Hearing about the deduction of bonuses, Zhang Feng'e was anxious and said, "Team leader, aren't you ...... Why don't I just say a few more words, what does it have to do with bonuses? ”

Sister Li said, "Why doesn't it matter? Everybody's busy, just you're here to gossip. If you can get a bonus if you play tricks, will anyone still work? ”

Zhang Feng'e saw that the team leader was going to make a fuss about the bonus, so she had to soften and said: "Yes, I am not afraid of heaven and earth, but I am afraid that the bonus will not find a home." From now on, no matter what injustices and injustices I encounter, I should not look at them, is it okay to pretend to be deaf and dumb? ”

Sister Li said: "Okay, it's best to load it for a few more days." "After that, he left. The team leader couldn't hear it, and Zhang Feng'e first muttered: "It's a big fuss." Then he asked Gu Yulan in a low voice: "The team leader is so towards you, what benefits have you given her?" Gu Yulan was still silent.

In fact, the team leader was not towards Gu Yulan, and she was also very dissatisfied with Gu Yulan's tardiness. The reason why she stopped Zhang Feng'e was mainly because she was long-winded and afraid that it would affect the cleaning.

Sister Li has been the leader of the cleaning team for several years. Because she is fairly fair and has the right to distribute bonuses, everyone in the group is afraid of her three points. Zhang Feng'e has a nickname called "Sharp Mouth", she is very fond of telling right and wrong, and she doesn't let people, no one else can take her in the cleaning group, only Sister Li can make her temporarily soft and admit her mistakes.
