Chapter 3: At First Sight

Wei Guiqin closed the door with a gloomy face and refused to come out. She was wondering, when did this damn girl learn this trick? It turned out that as a girl grows older, she is not worth keeping. If she stays at home, she will cause trouble.

…

Su Hanyan dragged her suitcase directly to the factory. Today was the weekend and there were not many people in the factory as they were not working.

She walked through the production area and headed straight for the living area at the back of the factory. Behind rows of tall poplar trees stood a small, slightly shabby white three-story building.

In winter, the leaves have fallen, and the bare tree trunks cast mottled shadows under the winter sun against the white walls.

This is the dormitory for single employees.

After she came through the book, she met a girl named Zhu Lin from the union. She was 22 years old, with bright eyebrows and big eyes, and was cheerful and enthusiastic. They hit it off right away and got along very well.

The girl graduated from a technical secondary school and lived in the single staff dormitory in the factory.

In the 1980s, technical secondary school students were divided into two categories: one was for students who graduated from junior high school, and the other was for students who graduated from high school, which was a two-year program.

Zhu Lin went to a technical secondary school after high school and was later assigned to a textile factory, where she lived in this single dormitory for four years.

A single dormitory can accommodate four people, and she happened to be the only one in that dormitory. All three beds were empty, so Su Hanyan would have a place to stay if she went there.

She knocked on the door of the single dormitory with her suitcase. When the girl saw her, she was startled for a moment, then greeted her warmly with a smile.

"Hanyan, come in quickly."

"Zhu Lin, I had some conflicts at home, so I moved out temporarily. I would like to stay with you. I will submit an application to the factory soon!" Su Hanyan explained.

Zhu Lin said happily: "That's great, I won't be lonely in the future if you accompany me! Come, I will help you clean up!"

"Thank you! Thank you for your help!"

While tidying up the closet, the two chatted casually.

Su Hanyan got to know this girl better. After graduation, Zhu Lin was assigned to work in the cotton mill in their city and lived in a single dormitory.

The colleagues who were assigned here at the same time as her got married and moved out of the single dormitory one after another. Zhu Lin had originally planned to get married at the end of this year, but something unexpected happened and she broke up with her partner, so she had to live here forever.

She felt lonely living alone for a long time, and Su Hanyan's arrival really made her happy.

Su Hanyan was in a hurry when she came out and forgot to pack her bedding. She could only be allocated bedding after the factory approved her accommodation report.

Zhu Lin took the initiative to lend her new bedding to Su Hanyan, saving her the trouble of having to go home again.

After the bedding was made, Su Hanyan went to tidy up the desk and found that there were four desks in the room, almost all of which were occupied by Zhu Lin, and the desks were full of books.

She sat down and casually flipped through a few books, and found that there were some high school textbooks and several English exercise books in them.

"You've graduated, why are you still keeping these books?" she asked casually.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6-9!

"Yeah." Zhu Lin said a little embarrassedly, "Did you want to take the night college entrance examination? After studying for a while, the enthusiasm faded and I didn't plan to take the exam... I bought these books with money, but I couldn't bear to throw them away, so I kept them there. Now it seems that they are useless, so I will pack them up and give them away later."

"No! Don't do that!" Su Hanyan stopped her, "Since you want to apply to night college, then apply! You must apply! Although it's a little difficult now, you will definitely not regret it in the future!"

"Huh?" Zhu Lin didn't understand.
