Chapter 9 Libraries
The opening ceremony here is going on in the principal's passionate speech, and Cui Miqi is standing in front of the school library beating her chest and her feet, very annoyed. Why? Because she searched every corner of her body at the moment, but she couldn't find the key to open the door.
If a student from this school passed by at this time, he would have been shocked, and the administrator Meng Lisa, who had always shown a cold face, was sitting on the stairs in front of the library, and she was looking down and touching her handbag. There was still an angry expression on his face, and he wanted to unload the bag in his hand. I have never seen Meng Lisa with such an expression, she has always been gentle and elegant, and I haven't seen her rush with anyone. This kind of expression will appear on her face, and people can't help but wonder what happened to make her, who has always been calm and self-controlled, lose her sense of proportion.
In the end, she threw the bag in her hand to the side in frustration, ruffled her long hair with both hands, her cheeks bulged, her eyes were red, and she sat motionless on the stairs as if she had been greatly wronged.
Suddenly, she reached out and pulled the bag into her arms, carefully observed it for a long time, patted the dust on it clean, and exaggeratedly wiped it several times with her own clothes. I was relieved that I couldn't find the slightest dirty place anymore. She slapped her chest a few times with her hand, and a large stone fell to the ground in her heart. If the real Meng Lisa knew that she had treated this handbag like that just now, I'm afraid she would have to write a review tonight. Fortunately, the bag was so good that no trace could be seen. It's all her fault, she went out in a hurry, she didn't know where to put the key, and when she went back at noon, she didn't know what her mother was going to say in her ear.
It's only about eight o'clock now, and I guess no one is as active as she is to work. Today is the first day of school, and the students here go to the opening ceremony early, and the time for working in the library is half past eight. Who would have thought that nothing good would happen, the teacher would not be good, and the door would not be able to enter. Alas, is anyone as unlucky as her? Things are not going well.
She stood up, patted her buttocks, and slung the bag over her shoulder, wanting to go to the nearby court. This school is not like her middle school, where students have to live in accommodation, so they report a day or two early, and today they gather early for the assembly. At this time, the school is quiet, the bell does not ring, and the students will not emerge from the classroom. This is just right, and it falls quietly.
She was thinking about Meng Lisa in her heart, and she didn't know how Meng Lisa, who lived in her body, was doing at school today? Has anyone noticed that something is wrong? She was not afraid of anything else, she was afraid that Xie Xiaoqing would talk nonsense to her. You must know that she usually speaks ill of her mother in front of Xie Xiaoqing. If she let her mother know, she would have to peel her skin. Her heart is up and down, and people have become absent-minded. As I walked, I walked to the front of the school building.
She took a closer look at the building, which was not much worse than the school building she was in, and thought to herself, this place is not as grand as our school. Looking back, it was natural, her middle school was one of the best in the city, how could this vocational school compare. Besides, the students who come here say that they are good to learn technology, and if they say that they are not good, they don't want to study, so they come to mix up a diploma, and they can find a job to support themselves when they go out, and the pursuit is not too high, just get by.
Going to school here should be easier than going to high school, and there is no pressure to go on to higher education, maybe it will become another choice for her in the future. By the way, if her mother still forced her to study this and that, then she would just come here to study, and it wouldn't be a big deal if she didn't go to college. No one can die anyway. She secretly competed with her mother in her heart. She doesn't understand her mother's hard work, sometimes people are forced to be in a hurry, and they always make some amazing decisions. It didn't take long for this idea to come out, and it had already been rejected by her in her heart. She was reluctant to leave her school, and no matter how hard and tired she was, she would persevere.
She was in a daze, thinking about the possibilities in the future, when a voice came from her ear: "Teacher Meng, is it so early today?" ”
Teacher Meng? Who is she called? Cui Miqi didn't react and didn't make a sound.
"Teacher Meng? What's wrong with you? How did you get to the school building? ”
Seeing that she was silent, the man thought that she had something to do and ran to the teaching building, after all, the library was still a certain distance away from the teaching building. Thinking that if something happened, she could help, so she kindly called again.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I was in a hurry and forgot to bring my keys. Excuse me, I'll go. Cui Miqi came back to her senses, hurriedly turned around and left. She shouted in her heart, "Oh no, who is this person?"
"Well, don't worry, I'm going to the director, and by the way, I'll help you ask him for a key. You go back and wait for me first, and in ten minutes. ”
"Okay, thank you in advance!"
"What's wrong with you today? Be so polite with me. But this is not like your usual you. ”
"Yes, yes, I went out in a hurry today, and it was all my ignorant daughter. Then please help me find the key. I'll go back to the library and wait for you. ”
"Okay! Mr. Meng, I found that today you are much more enthusiastic and smiling than before, which is very good. I'll go back as soon as I go. ”
The enthusiastic teacher left with a smile, leaving Cui Miqi with a stunned expression. Oh mom, my mother's usual cold style of feelings is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so if you smile casually, someone can see the difference, so what should she do in the future? She put away the smile on her face, deliberately straightened her face, and then cleared her throat again, and said to the back in her mother's tone, "Thank you, don't bother, the library colleagues will be here soon." ”
At this level, she felt panicked, and it was too difficult to learn from her mother's cold appearance. She's purely bored and panicked if she doesn't make a fuss for a minute, how can she do it. I heard that the two colleagues in my mother's library are not vegetarians either, and one of them will be detected if he is not careful. Oh my God, when is a day like this going to be the end? No, let's go to that little supermarket today to find that weirdo, and if she can't find it there, she'll drive around a few times, and she won't believe he'll be able to escape.
When she returned to the library, the door was already open before the teacher could borrow the key.
"Lisa, where did you just go? I saw your car parked there, but no one was looking for it. Out of the door came a woman in a light blue dress, tall, lean, with a sharp, long face that made it feel like the wind could blow it away.
She remembered the woman. There are photos that her mother showed her, and she seems to be called Ma Mei, and she is as her name suggests. She took the initiative to come over to say hello, and her voice was not unpleasant.
Before the words behind "Mei-aunt-" came out, she suddenly remembered that today she was playing Meng Lisha, if she was heard calling her aunt, her face might be stretched longer, and she would be like Aunt Zhao before. A woman's age barrier cannot be broken. She immediately raised a smile and shouted "Mei'er!" "How kind is that.
"You're sick, this name is calling me, look at it, goosebumps all over your body. Did you take the wrong medicine today? It felt like a different person. Picked up the money this morning? So happy? It's been a long time since I've seen you laugh like this. ”
Ma Mei retreated into the door, pulled the door of the library wider from the inside, then turned around and turned on all the lights inside, and then picked up the air conditioner remote control and pressed it a few times before turning around again to look at Cui Miqi who walked in all the way.
Cui Miqi stubbornly walked inside, put the bag in his hand in the locker, put the things halfway, and Ma Mei's voice sounded again.
"Your cabinet is the one on the far left. What the hell is wrong with you? I haven't seen you for two days, and you have amnesia? ”
Cui Miqi scratched her hair in embarrassment, not daring to look at her. These details seem to be written in the few pieces of paper listed by my mother, but I blame her for not reading them carefully, but now it's okay, I haven't started working yet, so people can see that it's different from usual, what should I do in the future.
She didn't say anything, picked up the towel hanging on the shelf, and wiped the table. Ma Mei's face was full of doubts, seeing that she was not good at asking questions like this, she walked to the end of the library, opened the window for ventilation, and started the day's work.
At the end of the summer vacation, no one came to the library, but the books were neatly arranged, but the shelves were covered with a layer of fine dust. According to the day's workflow written by Meng Lisha, after Cui Miqi finished wiping the table, she took the initiative to pick up the chicken feather marbles on the shelves and swept them carefully along the rows of bookshelves. For a moment, the dust was filled, and the entire library was silent, except for the sound of chicken feathers banging on the shelves.
"How did the library door open? Teacher Meng? Are you there? ”
"Teacher Xie, why are you here?"
"Oh, I saw Teacher Meng just now, and she said that the key was left at home, so I helped her find the director to borrow a key. Unexpectedly, it was too late, and this door was opened. ”
"I just arrived, and Lisa is cleaning up inside. Thank you, for your troubles. ”
"It's okay, it's okay, the door is open, then I'll be busy first, and I'll have to go to class later."
"Okay, goodbye Mr. Xie."
Ma Mei stood at the door and watched Teacher Xie leave, and as soon as she turned around, she almost ran into Cui Miqi who was standing behind her.
"Ouch, it scared the hell out of me. Lisa, why don't you make a sound when you walk? Ma Mei patted her chest and rolled her eyes at Cui Miqi. Her heart was about to fall out with fright, and Lisa didn't know what was going on today, she wasn't usually so frizzy.
"I'm sorry, Mei'er, who was that just now?" Cui Miqi was frightened when she saw her, and hurriedly helped her to smooth out. "I'm wearing flat shoes today, and I don't walk silently, but I didn't mean to scare you."
"That is Teacher Xie from the cooking class just now, haven't you seen it in the morning? Also, don't you always like to wear shoes with heels? How did you change your personality today? ”
"Occasionally, but also a change of mood. Teacher Xie is really good, he helped people so early in the morning. ”
"Hey, it's rare, you're so complimentary."
"Hey, what kind of person am I in your eyes?"
"It's nothing special, it's just cold, I don't like to laugh, I don't like to talk and chat, two words, sullen." Ma Mei laughed to herself after saying that.
"you. Am I that kind of person? Cui Miqi laughed too. If her mother heard these two words, she would probably be so angry that her face would turn green.
It turned out that her mother was not smiling at her alone, and the people around her did not see her well. I really don't know how her mother has come over all these years. Although this Mamei man is not very good-looking, this person is straightforward and fast-hearted, and he is not a bad person. There are three people at work here, and now only two of them have come, and one of them has not seen anyone for more than ten minutes late, and it seems that they are not very active. Cui Miqi was thinking about this when there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, the sound of high heels hitting the floor, from far and near, and in a few moments, a young woman appeared in her sight.
