Chapter 5: Hobbies

Hao Jiali had no choice but to borrow books from her colleagues, or go to the unit library to borrow books again and again.

And those books in the unit library Hao Jiali has read over and over again countless times, some of the wonderful chapters in these books Hao Jiali can recite, and the unit library has not entered new books from the city for a long time, Hao Jiali and her colleague Wang Hui complained when they borrowed books: "A factory so big, hundreds of thousands of workers, even the cultural life of the workers can not be enriched, I really don't know how these leaders are done?" ”

Wang Hui replied to Hao Jiali: "Open one eye and close one eye, who has the patience to read books, watch TV, watch VCD how convenient it is in these years, these two kinds of killing time are more simple and direct than reading books, and I have heard that the TV station will come to our factory to install CCTV soon, and the TV can receive dozens of channels in the future, how can the leaders of the factory spend money to buy new books in the city for the workers to read, they have no leisure, and they are reluctant to spend this money." ”

Hao Jiali thinks about Wang Hui's words It is not unreasonable, what kind of society is now, a fast-paced society, since Comrade ***'s sentence: "White cats, black cats, catching mice is a good cat." Spread, people's heads can no longer hold anything other than a word of money, and the entire factory is probably only Hao Jiali and Wang Hui, two book-loving people, who have no time to look for books to read.

The books in the unit library were tired of Hao Jiali.

Wang Hui reads to Hao Jiali as soon as there are new published books, Wang Hui always has these new books, and Hao Jiali doesn't know where she got these books, and most of them are famous books.

Famous books are Hao Jiali's favorite.

Hao Jiali often reads these books until late at night, and then when she can't get up the next day to go to work, she will be woken up by Chen Feng pulling her ears from the bed, or Chen Feng knocking on the window lattice outside the window of the room where she sleeps, and Hao Jiali can't close her eyes no matter how sleepy she is.

Chen Feng was most afraid that Hao Jiali would delay going to work because she overslept while reading, and the loss to this family was so great that Chen Feng's heart was bleeding.

Hao Jiali calculated that if she delayed a shift, then the workshop would first record her absenteeism for a day, and then the salary, bonus, allowance, and year-end bonus of this day would all be affected.

These amounts add up to a lot of money, which can cover the living expenses of his younger brother Hao Jiaming in school for two months.

Hao Jiali has deducted such an amount for a month since she joined the work, so Chen Feng would rather burn, tear up, or throw Hao Jiali's favorite books into the water and soak them than let Hao Jiali miss work to read these books.

The Dream of Red Mansions in Hao Jiali's hand has not escaped this catastrophe.

Hao Jiali took this book from Wang Hui early, at first she hid at home, one day Hao Jiali came home from work and saw her mother in her room like a ghost sweeping out the book and tearing it in her hand, Hao Jiali grabbed it quickly, and the text of the book was not destroyed.

Wang Hui didn't say anything when she saw that the book was destroyed without a cover and an end, she knew that Hao Jiali's mother Chen Feng was such an unreasonable person, but she sympathized with Hao Jiali and was born in such a family.

Then Hao Jiali couldn't hide books at home.

Hao Jiali thought left and right before thinking about a way to put the book in a plastic bag and bury it in the nearest piece of wasteland from her house, and when she wanted to read it, she secretly dug it out to read, and buried it back after reading it like a thief, but this can make Hao Jiali addicted to books, and Chen Feng can't detect that she kills two birds with one stone.

As for going to work, Hao Jiali bought an alarm clock and put it next to her pillow, and on the morning shift at eight o'clock, Hao Jiali was woken up by the alarm clock at seven o'clock, and she never missed work again.

But when Hao Jiali went to work, she dozed off while working, and then she always went to the faucet in the workshop to wash her face with cold water to expel the drowsiness.

and stayed up all night to make Hao Jiali's eyes puffy, the eyelids were swollen, and the eyes were as black as a giant panda, and when she went out, she was laughed at by her colleagues, and Hao Jiali stopped staying up late and began to make up for the lack of sleep, and after waiting for her eyes to return to normal, Hao Jiali was healed again, and the scar forgot the pain, and she couldn't extricate herself from the book.

Just like at this moment, sitting in the carriage, Hao Jiali knew that this was the best time to avoid her mother and read a book, but Hao Jiali didn't have the heart to read the book when she hung on the seat in her heart, even if she couldn't bear to turn the book to the bookmarked chapter last night, she could only glance at most and close the book again without reading a word, her eyes and attention were focused on the doors of the two ends of the carriage.

Every time a passenger comes up at the door, Hao Jiali will look at which carriage they are going to, if the passenger's feet step into another carriage, Hao Jiali will breathe a sigh of relief, if the passenger goes straight to the carriage where Hao Jiali sits, Hao Jiali's heart will mention the throat, Hao Jiali will look at the passengers who come over in her heart and say: "Go forward, don't stop, don't stop, don't stop, don't sit here, there are a lot of seats in the carriage in front." ”

Hao Jiali's trick really worked, and several passengers passed by her seat without stopping, not to mention how easy Hao Jiali's heart was.

Then the time from the departure of the train is getting closer and closer, Hao Jiali saw that the electric fan on the ceiling of the roof of the car was already rotating, the staff on the train was estimated to have entered the work, Hao Jiali also saw the signal building of the platform down a dozen flags of the railway staff, Hao Jiali knew that the train was about to depart.

Hao Jiali thought that it would be best if there were no passengers coming to the seat next to her after the train departed, so she completely put her mind at ease, she wasted this precious time in vain from getting on the train to departing, and it didn't matter if she didn't read a word of this book, and she didn't feel a pity.

Hao Jiali planned to wait for her to get out of the car and hide in the woods on the mountain road home and gnaw a chapter and a half of this book.

It's just hiding in the woods to read a book, Hao Jiali doesn't know when she will see it as soon as she is fascinated by books, and it may not be dark.

Hao Jiali predicted that the time to get home would definitely be delayed, and there was no doubt that she would delay her housework, and it was even more certain to see her mother Chen Feng's angry face.

Hao Jiali was ready, anyway, her mother didn't know what was going on with her coming home late, and her mother would never know that she had come home so late when she was reading a book.

Hao Jiali can give her mother a white lie, saying that the train is late, or that she met a classmate to play, etc., even if her mother knows that she is lying, she can't do anything, who told Hao Jiali that she can't live without a book to read?

Now, on the train, Hao Jiali feels that even if she unintentionally flips through some passages of the book, Hao Jiali thinks that she is also looking at the flowers, which means that she didn't read it at all, those words Hao Jiali swept with her eyes, but the meaning of the words was blank in Hao Jiali's mind.

Hao Jiali never reads books with her eyes but with her own heart, the idea of books is the highest state that Hao Jiali pursues when she reads books, if she can't pursue this realm, Hao Jiali simply might as well put these books on the shelf, just looking at the words and taste is not the temperament of a good book.

Therefore, Hao Jiali did not plan to read the book on the train.

Hao Jiali re-clipped the bookmark, packed the book in a film bag and put it on the window table next to the seat, then pressed her arms on the paper, and then put her head on her arms, the back of her head was facing the car, but her eyes were unblinking at the rain outside the window.

The rain outside the window was getting lighter and lighter by this time.

Hao Jiali was glad that she had bought a ticket before the rain, entered the platform from the entrance of the station staff commuting to work, and got on the train, but she didn't get a drop of rain on her body.

When Hao Jiali went out in the morning, she didn't bring an umbrella or a straw hat, according to the reason, the weather in August is a dog day weather in the southern Hunan area, this weather is so hot that people open their mouths like dogs to breathe in, especially from 12 o'clock in the afternoon to 2 o'clock in the afternoon, this is the hottest time of the day, this period is like a mother gave birth to several children, several children have different personalities, and this time period is particularly unbearable, if you go out without wearing a straw hat, In two hours, people's skin will be tanned by the sun, and the yellow and black will follow the color as fast as ever.

Hao Jiali hoped that she could let the sun bask in this way, because she was too white, so white that there was almost no blood, but the sky did not fulfill her wishes to rain at noon, Hao Jiali not only couldn't bask in the sun, but even the weather outside the carriage was cooler.

"Alas!" Hao Jiali sighed, then turned her head, she no longer stared out of the window, she grabbed the book on the window table with one hand and put it in an unobtrusive place in her seat, and then she leaned back and closed her eyes and dozed off against the back of the seat in the carriage.

Hao Jiali is indeed a little sleepy.

Because last night was Saturday, Friday afternoon, the workshop director announced that the production department in the factory had not issued production tasks, and all the workers on the production line did not have to work overtime.

Without the pressure of going to work, Hao Jiali must have been happily nibbling on a book all night, and Hao Jiali did not fall asleep until almost dawn, and slept until ten o'clock in the morning to catch the train from Hengyang to Chenzhou.

After waking up, Hao Jiali picked up these pots and jars prepared by her mother and took the slow train to send them to her younger brother's school.

Hao Jiali ate a little food in her brother's school cafeteria at noon, but she couldn't find a place to rest, her brother Hao Jiaming's dormitory was full of male classmates, Hao Jiali knew that she couldn't rest in her brother's dormitory no matter how sleepy she was, she couldn't sit on the edge of the bed in her brother's dormitory and squint.

Hao Jiali saw that the male classmates in her brother's dormitory were all shirtless in this hot summer, and the ones who were particular about them were wearing a pair of trousers, and those who were not particular hung a pair of pants on their waists, so ashamed that Hao Jiali didn't dare to look at it with her head down.

Hao Jiali hurriedly took a few mouthfuls of food, then packed up her things and left her brother's bedroom and rushed to the train station.

When she arrived at the train station, Hao Jiali originally wanted to sit on the waiting chair in the waiting room and doze off, but Hao Jiali wanted to save a few fares, and she could get on the train from the platform from the entrance of the railway staff commuting to work.
