Yokogawa Three Migrations, Living Elsewhere (8)
The boiler room was delivered before the start of school, Director Zou called Gu Hengchuan to take a look, the construction waste has been cleaned up, a layer of floating ash has accumulated on the ground, the electricity has not been turned on, there are no lights, there is no air conditioning. Aside from the facilities and equipment, the overall layout is unsatisfactory, and it is not as fine as the renderings show, and there is no more suitable place to stack the teaching materials at the moment.
Director Zou urged the General Affairs Office to clean up thoroughly and install lighting and air conditioning as soon as possible.
The fall semester began, and thousands of students poured into the campus, like thousands more chirping sparrows. Gu Hengchuan was busy distributing teaching materials, new students in the morning, old students in the afternoon, and finally loaded the leftover teaching materials into a trolley and transported them to the boiler room one by one.
After returning to the academic affairs studio, he wiped his face, made a cup of tea, drank a few slowly, and called Director Zou to tell him that the classroom had been vacated, and he could ask the General Affairs Office to clean it and restore it to its original state.
Director Zou let out an "um" and said something else.
It turned out that the library's library was hidden in the air-raid shelter for a summer vacation, during which there were two rainstorms, flooded and rat-bitten, making a mess, even the principal was alarmed, and criticized Director Ding a few words, the air-raid shelter has not been used for so many years, how can he hide books, let him move out as soon as possible, put on the shelves that should be on the shelves, remove the old ones, don't delay any longer. Director Ding was disgraced, only promised, and didn't dare to tell anything, so he turned his head and asked Director Zou for help, if he could lend Gu Hengchuan to him and do the library a favor.
Immediately afterwards, Director Zou said that the late Lu Yongxi was his teacher back then, and the old man worked hard all his life, leaving a few shelves of old books, and his children were reluctant to sell them, and donating them to the library of his alma mater was also a good thing to have the best of both worlds. However, there is always a bit of nondescript books left in the Academic Affairs Office, he told Director Ding that the renovated library has opened up a "Yongxi Book House", and Lu Yongxi's books should be cataloged and put on the shelves, and two seals will be stamped, one is the library collection seal, and the other is Lu Yongxi's donation seal, leaving a suspension.
Gu Hengchuan agreed.
The next day, he reported to the library, and Director Ding was relieved, patted him on the shoulder and said a few kind words. Gu Hengchuan said a few polite words, walked around with Director Ding, familiarized himself with the layout while visiting, and then asked a key question, which of the library's collections go into the stacks, which ones go into the reading room, and how to distribute them in an orderly manner.
Curator Ding sighed in his heart, no wonder Curator Hu was very optimistic about this young man, and suggested that he transfer Gu Hengchuan as his deputy before he retired. It's too late now, I heard that his work in the teaching studio is very heavy, and Director Zou will not let him go.
He thought about it for a while and asked Gu Hengchuan what he thought.
Gu Hengchuan said that the area of the library is not large, so it is better to set up a book house to store rare books and donations from all walks of life, and the remaining four reading rooms, the large two, one is mainly for science and technology, one is mainly for literature and art, and the small two are mainly for history and social science, and one is mainly for newspapers and periodicals.
Curator Ding nodded again and again, he originally had a preliminary plan, which was similar to what Gu Hengchuan thought.
While talking, Chen Siping carried a cart of books back to the library, sweating profusely. He was a stout young man, with a somewhat fleshy and collapsed nose, a face covered with pimples, large shoulders and a round waist, and his teeth were not very good, uneven, yellowed, and his speech was slurred.
Director Ding divided the four reading rooms, wrote the letters starting with the barcode on the paper, and asked Chen Siping to continue to move books from the air-raid shelter, and Gu Hengchuan stayed in the library to divide the books.
After working all day, it took only a dozen cars to move before and after, Gu Hengchuan pretended to be public and private, and put aside the novels he was interested in, ready to borrow them and read them slowly.
Coincidentally, Chen Siping also did the same thing. I can't tell that he is also a fellow believer.
Although he works in school, most of the people he comes into contact with are highly educated intellectuals, but Gu Hengchuan knows that in addition to teaching materials, most teachers do not have the habit of reading books, and when they come home after a tiring day, it is the norm to watch TV and brush their mobile phones. People are reeds that can think, and preparing for lectures and doing topics is not thinking, but only a means of making a living.
Gu Hengchuan was curious, and while Chen Siping was leaving, he leaned over and took a few looks. O. Wilson's "On Human Nature", Stephen Jay Gould "The Miscalculation of Man", Richard Dawkins's "The Selfish Gene", "The Blind Watchmaker". The author's name is unfamiliar, not a novel, and if it were a novel, he should have an impression.
Busy until 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Gu Hengchuan said goodbye to Director Ding and promised to come back tomorrow to help. Director Ding had better stay and work overtime, but the security guard who was carrying the books had already retreated first, so he could only give up, and he promised Gu Hengchuan to borrow a stack of novels to take back to read, and let him come early tomorrow, and strive to finish it early, so as not to affect the work at the end of the teaching studio.
Chen Siping took the opportunity to borrow books, and with Gu Hengchuan's precedent, Director Ding waved his hand happily.
Gu Hengchuan returned to the teaching studio with the book in his hand, Xiao Zhang hadn't left yet, he was adjusting the class schedule in front of the computer, looking distressed, and couldn't help but complain a few words when he came back. It turned out that a teacher got the class schedule and was not satisfied with the class schedule, so he complained to the Academic Affairs Office, but Director Zou happened to be absent, so he threw down the class schedule and left.
Gu Hengchuan picked up the class schedule and looked at it, he was a chemistry teacher, with a very pungent temperament, 12 classes in the morning on Tuesday, 78 classes in the afternoon, and four classes in a row on Thursday afternoon. He silently put down the class schedule, did not comfort him, and did not help Xiao Zhang denounce one or two, but just said, "Isn't the 8th period on Tuesday afternoon in the first year of high school a public elective course?" ”
Xiao Zhang was stunned for a moment, her eyes were red, her face was white, the public elective course was a full-grade class in the first year of high school, and the 8th period on Tuesday afternoon was going to be vacant, she actually forgot! She argued aggrievedly, "The teachers of the three grades are undecided, and when the school starts, they are pressed over, urging them to ask for the class schedule, and the class time keeps changing ......" As she spoke, she sobbed, and the makeup on her face was spent.
Gu Hengchuan put a box of tissues in her hand and asked her to type out the general class schedule of the first year of high school and show it to him.
Xiao Zhang grabbed a straw like a drowning man, hurriedly turned it over, turned around and said weakly: "The grade schedule has not been done yet, only the class schedule, okay?" ”
The class schedule is the class schedule!
There are two/workbenches in the middle of the teaching studio, which are long and bulky, decades old, moved around, countless people have used them, and the surface is still sturdy. Gu Hengchuan took care of Xiao Zhang, and a piece of A4 paper was vertically printed out on the two class schedules, spread them on the workbench, and the two of them looked at them carefully side by side, fortunately, this eye on Tuesday afternoon belonged to the "chicken ribs", most of them lined up physical education and geography classes, and there were also a few chemistry classes. He picked up the phone, communicated with Deputy Director Qi in charge of the first year of high school, and called the heads of the teaching and research groups of the physical education group, geography group, and chemistry group to explain the situation, and asked Xiao Zhang to stay and work overtime, check the class schedule again, and adjust it.
Gu Hengchuan is calm and sophisticated, not surprised, admit mistakes when he makes mistakes, remedy problems when there are problems, and take a few choking words as a tonic, Xiao Zhang admires him very much. More than 30 teachers were involved before and after the change in the class schedule, and the total class schedule had to be re-beaten, Xiao Zhang dotted up the spirit of twelve points, buried himself in work, Gu Hengchuan ordered two takeaways, and by the way, he helped her read the timetables of other grades to confirm that there were no obvious errors or omissions.
Director Zou came to get off work and asked about the class schedule, Gu Hengchuan didn't say that the class was not properly scheduled, he avoided the light, admitted that he made a mistake in his busy schedule, and did not empty his eyes on public elective courses, Xiao Zhang was in a hurry to adjust the class schedule, and he would be able to send it to all teachers in the evening, and he also said hello to several teaching and research team leaders, and it was not a big problem.
Director Zou asked about the cause and effect, and comforted Xiao Zhang a few words, teachers and class hours have been moving, mistakes are inevitable, just change them in time.
Xiao Zhang tasted a little bit of taste, not because the class was not well scheduled and the teacher came to the door to adjust the class schedule, but because he made a mistake in his busy schedule and forgot to leave his eyes on public elective courses, Gu Hengchuan greeted several teaching and research leaders to apologize, and always only said this reason.
She felt like she had learned again.
The takeaway is the rice noodles of the "King of Huaxi". Xiao Zhang is almost done with the work at hand, he is in a good mood, and he talks and laughs with Gu Hengchuan.
