Chapter 11

Working in the library, you will feel bored and boring for a long time, but the good thing is that the working time will not be too long, especially on weekdays, there are almost no people in the library, and you can go to the unit in the morning to make a card, and then go to the library to walk around, mix a familiar face in the monitor, and then you can slip away.

The most permanent staff in the library, except for those of us who have sold their ID cards, are retired grandparents and uncles, who come to the library to read books after sending off their grandchildren early on weekdays, and then become book friends, and when there are no outsiders in the library, they will also read and read together in the morning with the permission of our staff. But after all, it is an old man, the cervical spine is inevitably deformed, the lumbar intervertebral disc is inevitably herniated, and the eyes are inevitably presbyopia, so whether it is reading or reading, it is almost interesting for the aunts and uncles to spend an hour or two in the library, and some have to rush back to make lunch for their grandchildren, and I just happened to be idle. If there are uncles and aunts who stay longer than an hour or two, I will also come up to ask them if there is anything else they haven't done yet, don't get me wrong, I am leaving people to get off work early, I am really doing this out of kindness, and I am entrusted by the children of the old people to do this.

I remember one time Aunt Liu forgot the alarm clock, the mobile phone turned on the silent mode again, looked at the book and forgot the time to pick up her granddaughter, her granddaughter's early education class teacher couldn't get through Aunt Liu's phone, so she called her daughter, saying that no one answered the child after class, so that her daughter was worried about her own daughter, and worried about her own bonus, and worried about her, and finally ruthlessly gave up the full attendance award, asked for leave, first went to the early education institution to pick up the child, and then took the child to the vegetable field to find her, and finally found the mother who was addicted to "Autumn in Spring" in the library, maybe it was because there were only three or five people in the library, and her daughter didn't hold back her anger, and she didn't care about her mother's face, so she got angry. Looking at Aunt Liu's crying granddaughter, I thought to myself that this child had received early education, and suddenly saw my highly educated mother, who lost her temper at her grandmother who was eager to read, and thought that reading was the same as breaking things, which was not a good thing, and then remembered that I read a pictorial that looked very similar to a book in the early education class, and then thought that my grandmother sent me to do "bad things" every day, so I couldn't accept it ideologically, and began to cry, as if there was nowhere to complain, and I could only cry to prove my innocence. Aunt Liu saw that she had made a mess and made her girl angry, and her baby granddaughter was also frightened, so she couldn't help but blame herself, and also shed tears, and the book friend next to her quickly persuaded when she saw this: Oh, your mother didn't mean it, this person is old, it's easy to forget things, say it well, say it well, don't lose your temper, your mother is already very uncomfortable, next time remember the last alarm clock, or let's remind her, alas, by the way, and Xiao Lu, Xiao Lu, our old guys don't use their brains, In case we all forgot to remind her, can you do me a favor and remind you Aunt Liu. As a service staff working in a service venue, it is my job to serve everyone, of course I immediately agreed, and then Aunt Liu's daughter held back her anger, tried to soften her eyes, and said to me, then please you big brother. So since this happened, as soon as the time came, I spontaneously asked the uncle and aunt who were reading the book, if I wanted to take a break after reading the book for so long, what book I was reading today, and what I was going to do after reading the book.

In this way, after a long time, I gradually became a book friend of the uncles and aunts. It turns out that I don't read much, I usually look at the web pages on the computer, and when I get tired of reading, I go back to the office inside to take a nap, but then I start to get acquainted with the uncles and aunts, and every time they come to see the book, they don't see me at the borrowing office, so they have to find someone to ask: Where is Xiao Lu? So when my aunts and uncles are here, I must have stayed in the borrowing office, and in addition to work, I will no longer look at the computer at the borrowing office, because if I look at the computer for a long time, the aunts and uncles will ask me: Why doesn't Xiao Lu read books? So under the supervision of my aunt and uncle, I had to pretend to read the book, to then I felt scratched all over my body without looking for some paper and ink to read.

Maybe it's because of a book friend like me, the aunts and uncles call all the aunts and uncles who can be called around them to our library for morning reading, which makes the library, which has no readers on weekdays, lively early in the morning. In the promotional video of our library, you can also see a group photo of the aunt and me, with the slogan that the reader and the library staff are like a family, which will not make people feel false at all, after all, I have been with the aunts and uncles for so long, and the eyes and hearts are true feelings.

I thought that the highest achievement of a small library staff would end here, and the welcome of these aunts and uncles to me was the greatest affirmation of my work, and I felt very content, but I didn't expect that the aunts and uncles would bring me a peak in my career.
