In late spring and early summer, everyone has taken off their thick cotton coats and put on light jackets or nice sweaters.
On Saturday, Wang Zhaozhao wore a long skirt and a pullover sweater.
At the city library, Chen Pei, who had received a call from Xu Yanni a long time ago and had made an appointment to meet up, was waiting for them at the bus stop.
When they met, they kissed each other affectionately.
Especially Song Jiangli and Chen Pei, I haven’t seen them for a long time.
"Student Peipei, have you received any gossip recently?" Xu Yanni asked Chen Pei when entering the city library.
By the way, she had never asked her parents if they knew anything about Chen Pei's family background.
"cough!"
Chen Pei coughed dryly.
Xu Yanni and the others were cheered up. Is there really some gossip?
"Well? I was unsure, so not only did I not dare to ask, I also pretended to be dead on purpose." Chen Pei explained with a little embarrassment.
Xu Yanni: “……!”
Wang Zhaozhao: “……!”
Song Jiangli: “……!”
Sister, you are really... the sixth one.
"I understand, I understand." Song Jiangli patted Chen Pei's shoulder, "If it were me, I might do the same."
Xu Yanni and Wang Zhaozhao nodded, agreeing.
So, let’s put this aside and not mention it for now.
Chen Pei asked them if they were looking for information for the English speech competition in the provincial capital during the summer vacation.
Speaking of this, Song Jiangli wanted to sigh out the anger that he had been holding in for dozens of days.
"You guys are such inhuman beings. It's so tiring to be friends with you."
Woohoo, the pride she had been proud of for so many years, supported by her good academic performance, has been shattered.
Xu Yanni patted her shoulder and said, "You are still too young. Thinking back to those days, I... well, let's not talk about it."
Song Jiangli grabbed her hand and said, "Come on, please talk. Let me be happy too. Maybe I'll suddenly see the light."
"That won't work. You'd better continue to worry about gains and losses and get stuck in a dead end." Xu Yanni refused seriously.
Chen Pei watched them talking nonsense and raised his eyebrows at Wang Zhaozhao in amusement.
Wang Zhaozhao gave her a toothless smile in return.
Go upstairs and enter the library...
"Wait." Chen Pei suddenly pulled them aside.
Don't go in yet, she has something to say.
"In the second half of last year, students in the second grade of junior high school and above only started learning English. So the city library only had a few English novels or other literature, and only some test questions for study."
“…”
Wang Zhaozhao and the others nodded repeatedly, having thought of it.
So, even after such a long time since school started, I only just came to the library, and I wasn't here to look for books like English speeches.
"Then let's go in." Chen Pei smiled at them and explained as he walked in, "I'm just afraid that you'll be disappointed or think you've made a mistake."
Wang Zhaozhao and the others expressed their understanding.
Wow……
As soon as they entered the library, their mouths dropped open.
It's not the opening of a mouth that shows inexperience, but an expression of shock.
New Year, new atmosphere. The layout of the city library has changed a lot.
Well, it's no longer the old-fashioned way, where you enter a room full of cabinets, find the corresponding cabinet for the type you want to see, open it, and you'll see rows of cards hanging from hooks on a rod.
There is a book title on the card. If you see a book title that you want to read, you can take the card off and take it outside. A staff member will go to the bookshelf and help you get the book.
Now you don't need to go into that room, find the card and ask the staff to get the book.
It has become an open-style layout, divided into categories and areas, with rows of bookshelves, where you can find the books you want yourself.
Then take the book and go to the counter to register.
"Wow, this is so convenient." Xu Yanni sighed softly as she walked among the rows of bookshelves.
Wang Zhaozhao and the others nodded repeatedly.
It is indeed convenient, and the most important thing is that you can look through it on the spot.
So they stayed there for three hours, and when they came out, it was already half past four.
Not to mention shopping, they couldn’t even go to the bookstore. Wang Zhaozhao and her friends took the bus directly to the bus station and then took a shuttle bus back to the county town.
Wang Zhaozhao's home was closest to the bus station, so it was already half past five when he got home.
"You should remember to come back." Comrade Xie Ailian glared at her when she saw her.
Wang Zhaozhao explained with a chuckle, "The city library has changed. It's now open, like a bookstore. People can go find books directly. We accidentally spent three hours in there."
"It's really rare that you can get home at this time." Qiao Li, who was picking vegetables, smiled.
Xie Ailian laughed unhappily, "Really? If it were possible, you guys would probably want to live in here."
Wang Zhaozhao nodded repeatedly and really thought about it seriously.
"If I could stay here for 10 days or half a month...it would be a beautiful thought."
Xie Ailian: “……!”
You dare to think so.
What is there that Wang Zhaozhao dare not think about?
She had a wonderful thought: "It would be nice to be a librarian in the future. It wouldn't be tiring, there would be interesting books to read, and I would get paid. Wow..."
"Zhao Zhao, wake up, this is unrealistic." This time it was not Xie Ailian, but Qiao Li who poured cold water on her.
"Why? Fourth Aunt, you don't think being a librarian is unpromising, do you?" Wang Zhaozhao pouted.
"Don't wrongly accuse me. You're busy with this competition and that competition now. Just think about the elementary school special recruitment competition that year, and the Qing Province special training last summer. Think about the fact that you didn't spend the New Year at home last year."
"Ah, what's with those?"
"The first special elementary school recruitment was originally intended to create a junior class to allow you to enter university directly. Our county piloted it, and you directly took first place."
"Well, didn't it end in vain?"
"Yes! But in the provincial finals of the Harvest Cup Mathematics Competition, which started two years ago, who else did you meet besides the first place winner?"
"Mr. Gu."
"Where did it come from?"
"Jingshi."
"Where are the teachers who participated in the Qing Province special training?"
"I'm from Beijing too."
"You said that Mr. Gu was also there."
"Right, right."
"The Qing Province Special Training Program is for the top ten in the city to compete in the provincial finals of the Harvest Cup, but you said it's a national event, right?"
“…Ahem! Hmm.”
Wang Zhaozhao already knew what her fourth aunt was going to say.
Qiao Li also noticed it, but she continued. She not only told it to Wang Zhaozhao, but also broke it apart and crushed it, and explained it to Xie Ailian and Wang Dahai.
"But the person who came to inform you actually linked it to the math competition you had last semester."
"Yes."
"Then the competition was conducted in a...almost unbelievable way. Finally, they arranged training for you. The Beijing side sent a separate working group, and there were only eighteen people."
yes.
Wang Zhaozhao could only nod.
Fourth Aunt, please look at my smiling face...
