Diary

Today was a day out for fun, and we got up lazily. Fangfang was on duty all day today and couldn’t join us. We managed to trick Lao Sao into coming over at noon, and he even brought his own potatoes. Then, Da Huang went to buy some oyster mushrooms to fry. The fried potatoes and fried oyster mushrooms were simply delicious. We also visited the Expo Park today, but it wasn’t very exciting as there were charges everywhere. We strolled around casually, and at the end, we sang songs with a few outgoing and optimistic uncles and aunties outside the guard booth, which was quite a social experience. ...

The materials were submitted yesterday. Early this morning, little Huanhuan arrived, and we went to Yunnan University Hospital, then to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. In between, we also checked my lingual frenulum, and the doctor said it was normal. Haha, I felt a little disappointed. In the evening, we had dinner together at the same place where I had previously eaten with Brother Deng Zhongqing. Old Sao is really quick when it comes to giving money, it’s done in the blink of an eye. From now on, I’ll have to prepay the money there first. ...

This morning, I got up slowly and leisurely, and since my hair was quite oily, I decided to wash it. I took a taxi to the Provincial Department of Education. I spent 6.5 yuan to photocopy a document at a nearby print shop. Printing things outside is really expensive. Color copies cost 1 yuan per page, and black and white copies cost 0.5 yuan per page—it’s practically robbery. I still feel like buying my own printer was a good investment, as I can now frequently print things like record sheets and such. ...

I don’t know when the sky brightened; I got up without opening my eyes. After a quick wash, I hailed a cab and went straight to Zhongqing Company. I got the necessary stamps, treated Brother Deng from the company to lunch at noon, and had a couple of drinks. The alcohol content was quite high, and by the time I finished eating and drinking, I was already feeling dizzy. In the afternoon, I came back and slept until four o’clock, then got up to find a print shop to print some documents. In the evening, I had dinner with Da Huang, Fangfang, and Lao Sao. They were too eager to pay the bill. ...

Whenever things become slightly unknown or complicated, I start to feel lazy and unmotivated. However, I still managed to print out the necessary documents. In the afternoon, after consulting with Manager Liu and Fangfang, we decided to head to Kunming overnight. It was already eleven o’clock when I arrived at Fangfang and Dahuang’s place, and Dahuang had even fried some potatoes waiting for me.

Saturday was the 2025 Guizhou Provincial Exam. On Friday night, I rushed to Guiyang overnight, and after work, Xiao Huanhuan also came from Panzhou to accompany me for the exam. It was both an exam and a date. The exam lasted the entire day on Saturday, and the timing was extremely tight. As soon as I arrived at the test center, I felt the urgent need to use the restroom. However, each floor had only one restroom, and although the building appeared to have four floors, it was actually a quadrangle-style structure with four single floors combined. By the time it was my turn, there were only fifteen minutes left before the exam started. While waiting for someone else to finish, my mind was racing with thoughts—should I just relieve myself on the bathroom floor? I was really struggling to hold it in, and the exam was about to begin. In the end, I managed to uphold human civilization… ...

In order to find a company to affiliate with, I can qualify for the CSC application. Paying to work is something that could only happen to me, and 1400 a month is quite a lot. It’s a bit outrageous, but there’s no other way. Coincidentally, Mr. Liu asked me for money, so I also mentioned to him about getting his seal, and it’s only natural that I’ll be heading to Kunming next week. ...
