Chen Siping was transferred to the printing room, only separated from Xiao Zhang by a wall, in and out, looking up and not looking down, and gradually became familiar.

Director Sun of the Academic Affairs Office didn't know Xiao Zhang's origins, and used her as a "social animal". Xiao Zhang was busy like a spinning top, complaining bitterly, and complaining to his parents when he got home. However, when it comes to work, Lao Zhang and his wife can't help it, no matter what, the burden is considered "training", and they can't ask the deputy director of the Education Bureau to say hello again, so that Xiao Zhang can easily live in the unit!

Lao Zhang loves face, but he can't say it.

Xiao Kong in the teaching office is also unreliable, he is a novice, he took over Gu Hengchuan's mess, he was so busy that he made frequent mistakes, and he couldn't help Xiao Zhang at all. Xiao Zhang had to ask Chen Siping in the printing room for help.

Chen Siping has a good temper, Xiao Zhang begged, and silently helped her to do the examination affairs. Xiao Zhang was a lot more relaxed, he didn't want to go, he brought a snack every once in a while, brought him a fruit, and chatted about something to talk about.

After more contact, I realized that Chen Siping is also a person who loves to read, but he likes popular science books on biology and is not very interested in novels. Xiao Zhang thought he was majoring in biology, but after asking, he learned that he studied "electronic and electrical application and maintenance", which sounds very lofty, but it is actually home appliance maintenance.

Chen Siping is very good at repairing things, as small as tape recorders, computer printers, and as large as air conditioners, televisions, and stereos. Once Xiao Zhang's mobile phone fell into the sink, he happened to pass by, scooped it up and forcibly cut off the power, opened the back cover to remove the battery, carefully dried it with a hair dryer, and reinstalled it to work.

Chen Siping knows that Xiao Zhang and Gu Hengchuan operate a video account at Station B, and he also likes to watch "Schrödinger", which is creative, filming, and editing, and musical, and admires the two of them for having such ability. He's only going to fix things, he can't get this.

A few years ago, Lao Zhang fell and fractured his hip, and was bedridden for two months, and he was obviously much older. He was worried about his daughter's marriage, and couldn't help muttering a few more words, Xiao Zhang listened silently and didn't quarrel with him.

After going through a lot of things, Xiao Zhang has also matured and knows that some things are reluctant to come. She is not young, she continues to pick and choose like this, she really becomes an old girl, she can only find an old man who is married for the second time, it is better to settle down as soon as possible and let her parents rest assured. So someone introduced her boyfriend, but she didn't refuse and promised to see it everywhere.

There is no shortage of enthusiastic old aunts in the unit, who are keen to match the matchmakers, Zhang San with Li Si, Wang Wu with Zhao Liu, internal digestion, and solve the lifelong events of older unmarried men and women. Xiao Zhang originally looked down on them, an undergraduate intellectual, and her tone was similar to that of a market aunt, but this time someone came to the door, and she was not disgusted for the first time.

The boyfriend who introduced her was Chen Siping.

Does Chen Siping still need to be introduced? Yes. Without such an opportunity, none of them would take the initiative to take that step.

Chen Siping is a native of Surabaya. He grew up in a single-parent family. Strictly speaking, he was not a "single parent" from the beginning, his father ran away from home when he was 11 years old, and his mother raised him alone, living in a reinforced concrete city.

The children of the poor are in charge early, and this sentence is not suitable for Chen Siping. Since he was a child, he had a heartless life, his father's departure was just an accident, and did not cast an indelible shadow in his life, he seized every opportunity to play crazy, shooting foreign paintings, smoking spinning tops, betting on marbles, watching animations, playing video games, as long as he didn't read, no matter how childish things were, they could always attract all his attention.

Chen Siping is tired of studying, only about 20 points in the big and small exams, and the report card is full of unqualified at a glance, only physical education is not bad. His mental age lagged far behind his biological age, and he was left two levels in primary school and one level in junior high school, and it was not easy to climb out of the quagmire of compulsory education and get mixed with a thin diploma.

After graduating from junior high school, Chen Si Pinto entered a technical secondary school to learn home appliance maintenance, and has a lofty name, "electronic and electrical application and maintenance". The reason why I studied secondary school was that the high school entrance examination was too poor and I didn't have to choose, and secondly, I was forced to make a living and learn a craft to subsidize my family.

Probably because he played too crazy when he was a child, he exhausted all his energy, and after entering the secondary school, Chen Siping became a little dull, he couldn't play with those classmates who made trouble all day long, and female classmates were not attractive to him. He was alone, he got by, and spent three lackluster years, and his only pastime was to go home and watch TV, chasing "Saint Seiya", "Demon God Altar Fighter", "Cosmic Knight", "Chinese Little Master", "Slam Dunk".

Looking back on that experience in hindsight, life was not difficult. I live in a relocated house resettled by the government, more than 40 square meters, two bedrooms and one living room, the floor spacing is close, the lighting is not good, and the lights must be turned on in broad daylight. Compared with the migrant workers in this city, it is already a blessing to have a house of their own. My mother was not in good health and retired early, and she received a meager salary every month, which saved a little money and was enough for them to eat and clothe themselves.

After learning home appliance maintenance, the best way out is to open a small shop as a self-employed person, but the façade room is a problem, and Chen Siping is unwilling to worry about it. Fools have foolish blessings, it just so happened that Songjiang Middle School recruited temporary workers to take care of audio-visual equipment, Chen Siping went to apply, and he was lucky to be selected.

At that time, electronic education was just emerging, and in the opinion of the director in charge of recruitment, "electronic and electrical application and maintenance" was very important.

In this way, Chen Siping became an employee of Songjiang Middle School.

There is a storage room in the back of the auditorium of Songjiang Middle School, where slide projectors, tape recorders, video recorders, DVD players, and portable speakers are stacked. In that year, the school's procurement procedures were not standardized, there was no after-sales service, minor problems were repaired by themselves, and major problems were scrapped. When encountering faculty meetings or theatrical performances, he also manages lighting and sound by the way.

There was nothing to do on weekdays, the auditorium was empty, he was the only one, and it was very deserted.

In the minds of his colleagues, Chen Siping is just a temporary worker who takes care of the equipment, and he can't talk to him too much, and he doesn't have the habit of visiting the door to play haha, commuting to and from work on time, except for going to the canteen to eat, rarely meet people, and rarely talk. The addition of such a temporary worker in Songjiang Middle School is like a silent shadow.
