Chapter 111
Zhang Ma cooked a pot of rice soup, mixed salted vegetables with sesame oil and made an extremely simple dinner.
Zhu Yan Shu was still asleep in the house, Zhang Ma called Yang Yu Yan and Yang Yu Cicada to come out for dinner.
She said, “Yan Yan, go upstairs and see if Mr. Su is awake. There’s also Professor Dai and Classmate Shi, if they’re awake, call for Mr. Su to come down and serve the meal.”
After the name had been decided, Zhang Ma refused to run errands and justifiably ordered Yang Yuyan to do so.
Yang Yuyan ran upstairs and knocked on the door of Ding’s house, but when she pushed the door, she found that it was open and no one was inside. She then went to Su Chunjun’s house, and saw that the three of them were all awake, and were sitting around talking about some peculiar topic such as “the credibility of the government”. The stove in the house was boiling water, and there was still half a pot of water in the basin on the table. Obviously, they had washed their faces after waking up, and then boiled water to drink.
She knocked on the door, arousing the attention of the three.
As soon as Su Chunjun saw that it was Second Miss Yang, he immediately smiled into a flower, got up and quickly came over to open the door wide, saying, “Come in, are you here to call us to dinner?”
Yang Yuyan smiled and shook her head, “Zhang Ma has made it, shouting for you to go down and serve it.”
Do you really think Zhang Ma is a cheap maid? In the past when Su Chunjun went to dinner she had to complain about brushing an extra bowl, now with two more people, of course Zhang Ma refused to serve! It would be kind enough to make an extra pot of rice for them to eat.
Su Chunjun understands Zhang Ma’s temperament best, and he smiled and said, “Then I’ll go and serve it, it’s too much trouble to go down to eat, and the place at home is still small. It’s too much trouble to go down to eat, the place is still small. I’ve worked hard for Mrs. Zhang.”
Shi Wuwei hurriedly stood up and said, “I’ll go, I’ll go, Chunjun, you sit down and talk to the professor.”
Shi Wuwei crossed over to Su Chunjun and quickly walked down the stairs, Su Chunjun followed behind, talking affectionately with Second Miss Yang, ignoring his good brother.
As the two stood on the stairs, Yang Yuyan asked, “What are you talking about?”
Su Chunjun said, “Professor Dai asked me if I had a character and wanted to give me one.” Engaged is the same as married, is already an adult adult, take a word everyone also better address, Professor Dai has always felt that Su Chunjun’s name is too sharp, is not good for him personally.
But there is still a muddled lawsuit that has not been resolved here. Su Chunjun was just explaining this to Prof. Dai.
What’s the point? What she had just heard was clearly not this? Are they jumping from topic to topic?
Yang Yuyan: “Don’t you have any characters? What character does Professor Dai want to give you?”
Su Chunjun smiled and said, “The trouble here is ……,” he looked around, pretending to talk about something confidential, luring Yang Yuyan to bend over and bow her head, the two of them touching heads together to whisper.
He said: “I now this name, is my original word.”
Yang Yuyan: “What?”
The two of them killed a lot of time on the stairs, until Shi Wuwei had already returned with the rice soup pot, and the two of them didn’t even finish three steps.
Shi Wuwei stomped over these two to bring the rice soup into the house and told Professor Dai, “Pure Jun is talking to someone on the stairs.”
Prof. Dai spooned up the rice soup in the pot and said, “It’s not easy for him to get a name, so naturally he’s going to be excited for a while. This rice soup is cooked quite like the school cafeteria.” The grains of rice could be counted, and the soup was so clear that it could illuminate a person’s shadow.
Shi Wuwei smiled and said, “Zhang Ma said that we ate big fish and meat at noon, and that we should have a vegetarian dish at night, otherwise our stomachs will go bad.”
Prof. Dai put down his spoon and started digging out his pockets, “It makes sense to listen to what the old people say. Big head, go downstairs and find a food stall to buy four bowls of noodles.” He pulled out a dollar and handed it to Shi Wuwei.
Su Chunjun returned with Yang Yuyan and said, “This is not enough money, pull out another dollar to make it enough.”
Prof. Dai blurted out, “Why are things so expensive in this realm?” He pulled out another piece and slapped it together in Shi Wuwei’s palm.
Su Chunjun said with extra enthusiasm, “I have a pot here, take the pot.”
Shi Wuwei went downstairs with the money in one hand and the pot in the other, and only then did Yang Yuyan realize that these people originally didn’t think dinner was enough.
But today everyone was sweating from the engagement, and Zhang Ma still had to work when she came back, so she couldn’t go and work hard for Zhang Ma again, so she just pretended not to see it.
She followed up because she wanted to hear Su Chunjun continue.
She said, “You continue to talk ah, your current name is your previous word, and then?”
Professor Dai now knew how Su Chunjun had tricked the girl back at the point of dinner.
Su Chunjun pulled out a chair for Yang Yuyan to sit down, then said, “Later ah ……”
Later on, Zhang Ma came up and shouted.
Zhang Ma beat the lovebirds and pulled Yang Yuyan down for dinner.
Yang Yuyan learned Su Chunjun’s words all over again at her own dinner table.
There were only two listeners, Zhang Ma and Yang Yucan. Zhu Yanshu drank too much with her old classmates at noon, and now she doesn’t want to get up or eat dinner at all.
Yang Yuyan and Yang Yucan also do not have much appetite, holding a bowl of thin sucking rice soup as water to drink, but also quench their thirst and hunger, mouth tasteless can also eat pickles.
Yang Yuyan said, “So the word Pure Jun is his word, and his name is Shoujun.”
Yang Yuchan said, “The name is Shoujun, and the word was taken as Pure Jun. This makes sense. I used to think that his name was too imposing, and normal parents rarely give their children such names. The killing qi is too heavy, it’s not good for destiny.”
Yang Yuyan was surprised, “Sister, you’re a college student, you still believe in fate?”
Yang Yu Cicada sucked in a mouthful of rice soup, “Wouldn’t you be scared to death if you knew that the Four Books and Five Classics were still taught in college?”
Zhang Ma hurriedly said, “Yan Yan, quickly say that the Bodhisattva is not to blame! You child, there is a god three feet above your head, if you don’t honor the god, the god will hear you.”
Yang Yuyan raised her head, “I’m an atheist.”
Then being slapped four or five times on the back by Zhang Ma, she lowered her head and obediently said, “The Bodhisattva is not to be blamed, bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah.”
Su Chunjun is now in trouble if he wants to take a word again. His current name was already a character, so if he took it again, how on earth would he argue about it?
It was Prof. Dai who found this kind of thing interesting, and after finishing his bowl of noodles, he said to Su Chunjun, “I’ve already figured out what word to give you.”
Su Chunjun said jokingly, “Professor, you’re not going to give me the word for noodles, are you?”
Prof. Dai: “I don’t have a problem if you want to.”
Shi Wuwei laughed out loud, his voice was as loud as thunder, and after laughing, he startled himself, looked around and said, “Su Jian, you won’t have any neighbors here to say anything, right?”
Su Chunjun: “It’s fine, left and right are finished moving. Professor, what word did you give me?”
Prof. Dai said, “Zhongyong. It means to be in the right place and to act cheaply. I hope you won’t be too extreme in doing things in the future.”
Su Zhongyong.
Su Chunjun recited it a few times in his mouth without saying anything.
Shi Wuwei recited it a few times and said, “This name sounds like Su Jian’s sword has become blunt.”
In the past, when talking about Su Chunjun, what came to mind was a snow-white sword blade that was so sharp that it seemed as if the person had become sharp as well.
Changing it to Su Zhongyong, the person seemed to have instantly become a lot more ordinary and less eye-catching.
Professor Dai said, “Blunt is good, blunt is sturdy.”
Su Chunjun got up and said solemnly, “Thank you for the teacher’s words.”
Professor Dai smiled and said, “Sit down.”
Shi Wuwei asked curiously, “Professor, do you have any characters?”
Prof. Dai said, “Yes, it was gifted to me by the principal, who gifted me a word only once I returned to China and had a drink with him. You guys guess what it is?”
Professor Dai’s first name is Dai Yushu, pronounced though elegant, but back then when the name was given it was the proprietor’s wife who gave the name to the young scribe, who was called Yushu, and another who was called Washan.
However, he did not hate this name, on the contrary, he has always liked it, the jade quality is high and pure, the book hides the wisdom, he is willing to be the jade among people, to give the good to the earth.
He also named his youngest brother Yusheng after himself. Yusheng later was also sold to the young owner, I heard that very stupid, unlike his years so smart, but the young owner said that Yusheng is his younger brother should also be able to read, forcing Yusheng to read, forcing Yusheng every day to steal cry.
Su Chunjun had seen Professor Dai’s own ink in the Little Red House, at this time said, “Is not hoe east?”
Prof. Dai laughed and said, “You’ve seen the paintings I’ve drawn, it’s not a guess.”
The principal asked him to be a professor, and said he hoped he could be incarnated as a hoe, loosening the soil and removing the grass for the seedlings, and helping the seedlings to grow and become successful, and although he was with the soil all his life, he could grow thousands of golden rice, and live the people in thousands of ways.
Prof. Dai listened to these words, and after receiving this word, he was obliged to do so.
He also did always practice these words that the principal said to him at that time and gifted him this character.
Shi Wuwei looked at his mentor and fellow students and did not say anything.
Su Chunjun, being a human being, hurriedly said, “Professor, why don’t you also give Big Head a word, just that he doesn’t have one.”
Prof. Dai glanced at Shi Wuwei, shook his head and said, “He hasn’t gotten married yet, when he gets married and is a grown-up, it won’t be too late for me to give him one.”
Shi Wuwei smiled bitterly, “Professor, my family has no one to marry a wife ……”
Prof. Dai shook his head, “It’s fine if you don’t marry a wife, you graduate first.”
Shi Wuwei was silent again when he heard this.
Su Chunjun took a look at this pair of master and disciple, there was no way to persuade.
Professor Dai had always wanted Shi Wuwei to go out and study abroad, his talent was sitting here, wasting it was tantamount to stifling it. If he is willing to go out, the cost of studying abroad will be covered by the school, and even the acceptance of the school has been found, Prof. Dai personally wrote a letter of recommendation for him, recommending him to enroll in the capacity of an alumnus, and the principal has prepared the governmental approvals of the national government to ensure that Shi WUWEI will go out with no problems in his identity, and will be able to get a certain amount of shelter, which will count as an official business trip for him.
Although Shi Wuwei brain good, but too small, he did not dare to go out.
He has no ambition, do not want to be a big official, do not want to make a lot of money, all he wants is to eat and wear warm, the government does not come to arrest.
Although he learns things quickly, but this is too simple for him, no challenge is not enough motivation.
Professor Dai had long ago discovered this shortcoming of his, although he had always advised him to go out, but did not want to force him. He is a person who has studied abroad, it is clear that in foreign countries will not study is not the most important, is not a strong heart is more important.
Otherwise, it would be easy to be hit by all kinds of pressure to the point of not being able to bear it.
Shi Wuwei is lack of this point, which also let the generation of professors do not dare to let him out, afraid to send out is a living person, come back is a paper obituary.
He has thought about it, even if Shi Wuwei does not go out, with his level to stay in the school teaching and editing is also competent enough.
However, he was still determined to squeeze Shi Wuwei’s potential, hoping that he would suddenly decide to go out to study after a nap! He would have booked a ticket to send him on the ship immediately.
Alas, he could only think about it.
