Accidentally Born in the ‘60s Chapter 73:
Zhen Zhen wrinkled her nose in annoyance: "Actually, I like Mr. Xu's course on the identification of historical relics. I have been taking it from him before, but I don't want to major in history or classical literature." Suddenly she looked at me with bright eyes: "Sir, if you can major in more majors, can you help me with my studies? I want to major in economics and Spanish in French at the same time."
Forgotten I looked at her and smiled suddenly: "You want to learn quite a lot, so you are not afraid of not being able to learn everything?"
Zhen Zhen smiled heartily: "I've entered the best university in China, and it's not a loss to learn more knowledge, I just want to learn more about what I'm interested in, and I don't care about diplomas or credits. "
Forgetting to hear the words and nodded in agreement: "It's rare that you have been so motivated after so many years, but you don't consider English majors? I remember that I taught you for a year, and your sense of language is very strong and improved. Soon."
Zhen Zhen grinned with a guilty conscience, she was an English major in her last life, and passed CET 8. Although she hasn't said it for so many years, it is still easy to pick it up. Now that you have mastered it well, there is no need to waste time on it. If you have that skill, you might as well learn another language.
Seeing Zhen Zhen's insistence, Forgetfulness promised to talk to the school for her, the two were talking, when Xu Mengguo, who was preparing for class, walked over with a lesson plan in between, he couldn't help but ask Zhen Zhen with a smile, "I listen to you. Xu Mengguo and Su Weiran said, you have been learning painting and cultural relic identification with them all these years, will you continue to learn in the future?"
"I must learn it." Zhen Zhen nodded immediately, remembering that several of her teachers were full of admiration in their eyes: "I must learn the housekeeping skills of several teachers."
"Really?" A familiar voice sounded from behind, Zhen Zhen turned around abruptly, and saw Xu Mengguo standing behind her, looking at herself with a displeased expression: "Little girl, you are doing this for nothing. For many years, the teacher has actually played missing, do you know how worried we are about you?"
Zhen Zhen smiled shyly and pointed to the next classroom: "Then what, Mr. Xu, should we go to class first? You can talk to me later when you have time."
It was time for class, and they couldn't talk much. They forgot to see the two walking towards the classroom, and quickly said, "I'll call Lao Su and the others, and you can come to my house for dinner at noon."
This morning, Zhen Zhen only had one big class. She originally planned to go to the library, but when she saw Mr. Xu talking about the identification of cultural relics, she followed into the classroom. Most of the applicants for the classical literature major were boys. Suddenly, a beautiful girl came in with the professor. All the boys turned their heads to look at her, then turned their heads silently, opened their notebooks, and looked at Xu Mengguo expectantly. As for the beautiful girl, it is not as attractive as the knowledge taught by the teacher.
In the past, Xu Mengguo taught Zhen Zhen in the mountains, mostly on how to distinguish whether a cultural relic is real or fake, but in school, Xu Mengguo paid more attention to the teaching of basic knowledge and theory of cultural relics. Lead them to the real thing.
Zhen Zhen sat behind the other students, opened her notebook, and quickly recorded while listening to the class. Xu Mengguo also paid special attention to Zhen Zhen's expression during her lectures. If she saw something she was very interested in, she could not help but explain the content more deeply. The students who were full of dry goods did not even dare to breathe aloud, for fear of leaking. One word misses something important.
Xu Mengguo didn't stop lecturing until the bell rang, and after saying that, he started to clean up the lesson plan. The students stood up still, feeling that they wanted to ask questions, but they didn't know much about the relevant knowledge. I didn't know what to say when the question came to my lips, and they scratched their ears and cheeks anxiously.
Seeing to understand their feelings, Xu Mengguo smiled slightly: "You are new to this course, so it is normal that you don't understand. You can go further when you learn professional history with the Department of History."
The students bowed to Xu Mengguo together, and when he left the classroom first, Xu Mengguo walked to the door with the lesson plan, and when he turned around and saw Zhen Zhen still standing in his place, he couldn't help but smiled and shook his head: "Come here quickly, Go to Forget Me's for dinner at noon."
Zhen Zhen responded and immediately ran over to help Xu Mengguo get the lesson plan. Seeing the two of them talking and laughing, the other students immediately envied them and said, "Is this the child of some teacher? It's great to talk to the teacher about the problem."
"I remember she was a journalism major?" a boy suddenly raised his head and asked, "I have to find out what her name is?"
Another student in his thirties rolled his eyes and glanced at him with a smile: "What do you do to find out the names of other female students?"
Before the boy said with a serious face: "If you encounter something that you want to discuss with the teacher about professional content, can you ask her to help and talk to the teacher?"
Several older students who were already married at first glance laughed when they heard this. The boy scratched his head in confusion: "Isn't it good? Then forget it." He said regretfully. : "Only have the opportunity to communicate with the teachers again."
Zhen Zhen didn't know that the boys in the same department were discussing her, and at this time she followed Xu Mengguo to the residence of Wang Yi in Imperial University. After returning home after forgetting himself, according to his request, Huaguo assigned him a small courtyard, which is not big but very quiet. He has been living there alone until the country resumed the college entrance examination last year, when Imperial University extended an olive branch to him. Accepted the school's invitation with little thought. Because it was not convenient for him to forget his legs and feet, Imperial University arranged another place for him in the staff dormitory area of the school, and lived next door to Xu Mengguo, who was also invited.
Follow Xu Mengguo to the ecstasy courtyard. As soon as I opened the courtyard door, I heard laughter inside. Xu Mengguo was immediately happy: "Is this all here?"
Sure enough, as soon as the two opened the door, Su Weiran, a master painter, Zhang Renze, a master of traditional Chinese medicine, Cheng Xuewu, a master of traditional Chinese medicine, Xie Shurang, a master of Peking Opera, and Yan Baozhu, a famous Peking Opera and Kunqu Opera artist, were all inside. Xu Mengguo pushed Zhen Zhen in and said with a loud laugh, "Look who is here."
Everyone immediately gathered around, and Yan Baozhu nodded her head in anger: "You little girl really has no conscience. If you don't see it, you will disappear, and I don't think everyone is in a hurry."
Looking at Yan Baozhu's beautiful face that still looked like she was in her thirties, Zhen Zhen put her arms around her and smiled coquettishly: "Sister Yan, I was wrong, I'll invite you to my house when I come back and apologize to you. "
"It's almost the same." Yan Baozhu smiled and pulled Zhen Zhen to sit down on the sofa. Xu Shiqi has already conveyed what Zhen Zhen said before, Su Weiran and the others really stopped mentioning the matter of thanking Uncle Zhen Zhen, after all, after that movement, they were not very willing to deal with the people above them, preferring purely academic ones. Ambience.
After saying hello, a few people went to the kitchen to bring the prepared dishes to the table, and even took out a bottle of wine and filled it up for several people: "This is the first time we have been together since we left the year before last. , Except for Zhen Zhen, everyone drank this cup full to congratulate us on our reunion. Everyone brought up the wine, Zhen Zhen also raised the teacup and drank it with everyone.
Forgetful raised his chopsticks and said with a smile, "This is the dish we made with Lao Zhang. Let's try it out."
Xu Mengguo scooped a bowl of mushroom soup and took a sip, and praised: "It's still the same taste, I don't eat anything when I leave our mountain nest, and I wonder when I can eat the healthy dishes made by Lao Zhang all day long. Today I borrowed the light of Zhen Zhen."
Zhen Zhen took a chopstick and scrambled eggs with garlic sprouts. The garlic sprouts were made by myself, and the taste was very delicious. After eating, it was inevitable to talk about the current situation, Yan Baozhu took a sip of soup and tilted her head to look at Zhen Zhen: "Where does your family live now? I have to ask clearly, but don't find you again next time."
Zhen Zhen looked at her dumbfounded: "I'm a student of Imperial University, where else can I go?" But she still told Yan Baozhu's address: "House No. 1 in Houyang, wait for the weather to warm up. Please come to my garden to enjoy the flowers."
"That's a good place." Xu Mengguo is very familiar with the ancient houses of the imperial capital: "It was originally a courtyard with four entrances and four exits on the middle road of the county and Wangfu. It is very well preserved. If it is convenient, I really want to visit it. "
"No problem." Zhen Zhen nodded immediately and replied, "I just want to be a guest as my teacher at that time, don't mention the previous things, my mother and my father are honest people and can't stand the fear. ."
Su Weiran said with a smile: "Forgetfulness has already told me about your family's situation just now, and we respect your opinion. But we won't mention it again, and we still have to thank you."
Zhen Zhen's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Master wants to send me a painting?"
"Haha!" Su Weiran burst into laughter: "I will send you some of the best paintings then."
"It's a decision!" Zhen Zhen immediately made a pulling hook gesture.
There is no lunch break in Imperial College at noon. After dinner, before chatting for a while, it was time for class in the afternoon. Zhen Zhen glanced at the watch on her wrist and smiled apologetically at everyone: "I have another lecture in the afternoon. I have to go to the classroom first.”
"Go, let's go." I nodded my head: "I'll help you in the afternoon when you study economics and the French major of the Spanish Department, but if you study the three majors together, you will definitely lose a lot of classes, I'm afraid It takes several times of hard work.”
Zhen Zhen nodded and said seriously: "I know, I will try my best to take the more important courses of each major, and the rest will be self-study in my spare time."
Xie Shurang thought for a moment: "I'm not familiar with the other side, and I don't dare to talk nonsense, but language is almost a class, and it's better to have an oral practice object, you live in the literature department In the dormitory, there are no French speakers around, how can I practice?"
When Xie Shurang said this, Zhen Zhen was also a little worried: "Would you like to visit the teacher more after class?"
With a selfless smile, he patted Zhen Zhen's shoulder, pointed at Xie Shurang and said, "What kind of teacher are you looking for? Isn't this a ready-made candidate. Shurang studied in France for six years, and the French teachers in our school can't pronounce it as well? He's authentic."
Zhen Zhen's eyes lit up when she heard the words, she rushed to Xie Shurang and stared at him: "Teacher Xie, please teach me."
"Finally willing to call me teacher?" Xie Shurang proudly snorted: "When I was chasing you to learn Peking Opera with me, you said that you were unwilling to learn if you lost your teeth and lost your breath, and you lost your good voice. "
Zhen Zhen smirked and covered her face: "Actually, you need to have a good voice to learn languages, so what you say is very nice."
"The words are arrogant." Xie Shurang said something to her, and couldn't help laughing: "Go back and schedule the three majors, call me when you are free each week, and I will come to accompany you. You practice."
As soon as she heard the call, Zhen Zhen's first reaction was to reach into her pocket and touch the phone, and waited until she took out a handkerchief to respond: "I don't have a phone?"
Xie Shurang couldn't help laughing: "I thought you were digging something in your pocket, and co-author wanted to get a phone out." He pointed to forget me and said, "Mr. forget me has a phone in his office, so there is me too. phone number, you can call there when the time comes."
Zhen Zhen responded, looked at her watch, it was really late, she said goodbye in a hurry, and hurried to the classroom where the afternoon class was held.
He was very efficient in his selfless work, and the school also respected him very much. He quickly obtained the student ID cards of all three departments of Zhen Zhen, and added her to the list of French majors in the Department of Economics and the Department of Spanish.
Zhen Zhen copied down the course schedules of the three majors one by one. Under the introduction of Xu Mengguo, she visited the teachers of each major one by one, and finally settled on a mixed curriculum for the three majors. Fortunately, Zhen Zhen is currently a freshman, and all three majors have common common courses. After the second semester of sophomore year, I am afraid that there will be more and more professional courses, and the workload will be twice as heavy as now.
Wang Xinwen and Zhen Zhen are in different majors and their classes are in different places. After class, they both went straight to the library to study, and they didn't have much chance to meet. A week passed quickly, and on Saturday afternoon, Zhen Zhen finished her economics class and went back to her dormitory. Wang Xinwen was already waiting for her downstairs. When she saw her, she quickly asked, "I see that your roommates are all back. Now, have you forgotten about going home today?"
"I didn't forget." Zhen Zhen hurried upstairs, put the economics book in the cabinet, carried her schoolbag and dragged Wang Xinwen to the east gate, at this time Mingbei was waiting anxiously The two of them didn't breathe a sigh of relief until they saw their figures: "Hurry up, there's only one last bus left."
One week of school, Ming Bei and Wang Xinwen sat together and discussed their majors and what they had seen and heard in school. Seeing Zhen Zhen dragging her cheeks in a daze, Wang Xinwen gave her a worried look: "How is your major? I can sometimes see your roommate, but I can't always see you, isn't it a little difficult to get along with? I'll accompany you to dinner."
"It's all good, I'm the youngest in the dormitory, and everyone takes care of me." Zhen Zhen smiled: "In addition to journalism, the school applied for the French major and economics major in the Spanish Department, so the course I'm quite busy, and I rarely get to spend time with them."
Ming Bei and Wang Xinwen froze and asked Zhen Zhen in unison, "Can you apply for other majors?"
Everyone knows about this sooner or later, but Zhen Zhen felt that it was better to tell them earlier: "This is because of my literature teacher, Mr. Forget-me. By the way, do you know Mr. Forget-me?"
"Who doesn't know this." Mingbei said quickly: "This is the first person in our country to win the Nobel Prize for Literature, a national treasure. You are so lucky to hear Mr. Selfless speak. class.”
Wang Xinwen nodded in agreement: "I don't know if I can listen to it. Will Mr. Forget about not letting me into the classroom because I'm a student of another major?"
"No." Zhen Zhen smiled: "The teachers at school wish their classmates could learn more, how could they send people out, I'll check the class schedule with you later, if it is just right I'll take you to class when I have time."
Wang Xinwen nodded excitedly, and Mingbei couldn't help but ask, "What happened to you talking about multiple majors just now?"
Zhen Zhen said: "I told Mr. Forget about me that I want to study more majors. Mr. Forgotten helped me analyze the feasibility and submitted the application for me, so I got the qualification to study three majors together."
Ming Bei looked at Zhen Zhen and wondered if she was complimenting her for her willingness to study or she thought she was stupid: "I said girl, it's very troublesome for us to study a class, what do you think? Besides, you can't speak Spanish now. English is popular, why did you choose French?"
Zhen Zhen saw the sympathetic expression on Ming Bei's face, and couldn't help but smile: "Actually, it's okay, except for the French class, I only take the language part, and I take the corresponding history, literature and art class as a self-study part. English..." She winked at Ming Bei playfully: "Mr. Forgetfulness is an expert in English, and many of his translations in English have won international acclaim, and he is willing to teach me English in his spare time."
Ming Bei opened his mouth wide and looked at Zhen Zhen, and it took a long time for him to recover. He couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that whether it is elementary school or university, teachers like students who love to learn. I don't expect the first grade in the test. One, as long as the teacher can remember my name."
"That won't work." Before Zhen Zhen could talk to him, Wang Xinwen was not happy: "Although you can't take the first place in the test, you have to learn what the teacher taught you, and in the future I hope to live in the house you built. ."
As soon as he heard his wife's request, Mingbei suddenly smashed his chest: "No problem. After I graduate, I will definitely build a unique house for you." He paused, then added cheerfully. : "It's also similar to Zhen Zhen's house, with a big garden."
It's just that Mingbei didn't expect that the somewhat desolate garden at his home had undergone earth-shattering changes. A wooden hut in the corner of the garden was filled with chickens, ducks and geese.
Not waiting for Zhen Zhen and the others to enter the house and put down their things, Mrs. Li happily took them to the backyard to see these little fowls: "I specially asked your uncle to help me find the cubs. Although this wooden hut is not big, it has It's a fire place, I burn a fire early in the morning and it won't bring cold all day, I waited for Qingming, basically these little things can go out of the house."
Zhen Zhen watched as a group of fist-sized chicks occupied the exquisite cabin. She didn't know whether to cry or laugh. She held up Mrs. Li's arm and asked, "Honey, what about this week? What are you doing?"
"Nothing else was done. The government people came to install the heating pipes, but it's fast, it will be finished in three days." Mrs. Li tutted and praised: "The people who come to work should be careful and say We live in an old house with historical significance, but it can't be damaged. It is said that the street can be completed in two days, and we can provide heating for a month before the Qingming Festival."
Zhen Zhen nodded and helped the old lady Li to go back: "Although the imperial capital is not as cold as our Beicha, the house where I live in is really too big, and there is not much heat from the stove alone. It's comfortable to live in."
Knowing that the three children were coming back today, Wang Sufen had prepared the meal early. When Mrs. Li and the others came into the room, she poured water into the kettle for them to wash their hands and faces. Mrs. Li smiled and watched her granddaughter wash her face to a white one, and asked her cheerfully, "How are you doing at school? Can you eat enough?"
"I can eat enough, I have meat dishes every day, nothing else, I'm worried that my brother's meal ticket for two meat dishes won't be enough." Zhen Zhen saw Ming Bei looking at the table with eyes shining He couldn't help but tease.
Mingbei was a little embarrassed: "On that occasion, I usually don't buy it that much. Besides, the food stamps issued by our boys are more than your girls, which is enough for me to eat." , Mrs. Li was relieved, Wang Sufen brought a plate of steamed buns and greeted everyone to eat.
Zhen Zhen looked at the dishes on the table with thin slices of pork and green vegetables, and asked curiously, "My uncle brought vegetables and meat to our house?"
"Your uncle gave the ticket to our family." Mrs. Li took a steamed bun and handed it to Zhen Zhen: "Your uncle's food is distributed by the military region, and the food tickets, lottery tickets and meat tickets at home are also put there. If it expired, he said that he would bring it to me on a monthly basis in the future, and we will not worry about starvation even if we don’t farm the land.”
Wang Sufen added with a smile: "In the past two days, your mother was in the garden every day, pondering which soybeans, corn, and wheat. This time it's easy to save time. Just plan and plant some food to eat."
Zhen Zhen heard the words and said quickly: "I'll make a plan for you later, I'll set out a vegetable garden for you alone, and I'll plant flowers in other places."
"Growing flowers?" Wang Sufen didn't quite understand the use of planting flowers: "Is this flower edible?"
Zhen Zhen looked at her dumbfoundedly: "Although some can be eaten, I don't want to eat them, I just plant them to look good."
Wang Sufen just wanted to say something, but Mrs. Li hurriedly interrupted her: "The child has the final say in the child's house, and she will make her own decisions in the future."
Wang Sufen also reacted when she heard it, and immediately smiled: "Look at my foolish life, you can plant whatever you like."
So a few months later, I and others came to Zhen Zhen's house for the first time. They stood beside the rockery in Taihu Lake and looked at the bunch of tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, and leeks on the right, and then looked at the gardenia on the left. , Jasmine, Canna and Begonia, and then look at the lotus flowers blooming in the lake in front, and look back at the row of sunflowers under the wall, Su Weiran held it back for a long time, and looked at Zhen Zhen very tangled: "You learned from me. For the first time in so many years of painting, I have discovered that your aesthetic is somewhat unique!"
