Chapter 136
Prof. Dai’s car took away the Zhu family’s mother and daughter first. Su Chunjun stayed behind to accompany Zhang Ma to do the play, but also to help Shi Wuwei carry things, so he did not follow.
There are not many people on the street at this moment, the gendarmerie has been arresting people for several days, the common people are hiding in their homes, and the vendors don’t dare to go out.
Prof. Dai drove this one American car all the way to refuel, so drove into the university gates, he entered the gates, put his hand on the hooter, all the way to the hooter to drive in, especially bad.
Yang Yuyan look at the campus students from a long way away have turned their heads to see, early on the road out of the way.
She said: “Professor, you do not honk, how rude ah.”
Professor Day quickly taught her: “I do not sound the horn no one knows there is a car ah, I see I can get out of the way, if he does not know hard to turn to the road, then I can not brake in time not to crash?”
Even Zhu Yan Shu said: “Yan Yan, driving should be so open, otherwise people hit up and killed how to do?”
Yang Yuyan whispered, “Then why don’t you drive slower.”
Prof. Dai smiled, waiting for the car to stop before saying, “In fact, I only learned to drive, did not learn to brake, a brake this car is easy to flip.”
Hmm?
Your skills are good enough! Have a book!
But Yang Yuyan thought for a second, now the Republic of …… China has a driver s license?
She asked Professor Dai and he said, “This is not known, wait for me to go back and ask.”
Well, she felt that there was no need to ask.
There were fewer people in the university than she thought.
On behalf of the professor drove the car to a three-story building in front of a Mediterranean, wearing a long shirt, wearing round glasses, fat middle-aged man stood at the bottom of the steps, see the car to come, ran back to the steps to go up, waiting for the car to stop before coming down again, and then wait for Professor Dai to get out of the car to the Zhu family mother and daughter to help down three people, this person only hurriedly ran over to the front of the two hands outstretched, rushed to Zhu Yanshu before the grip on her hands vigorously shaking: “Welcome! Welcome, welcome, welcome! Welcome!”
Prof. Dai introduced at the side: “This is our principal.”
The principal said a dozen welcomes in a row, fully expressing his warm welcome to the Zhu family’s mother and daughter trio, and dispelling the Zhu family’s uneasiness and timidity of hiding in the school before welcoming the group inside.
The principal’s office is a very ordinary room, four bookcases, all stuffed with things. Under the east wall was a table stacked with things, and under the west window was a table stacked with books and newspapers.
In the center was a circle of Western-style sofas and a coffee table in the middle.
The principal entered and asked everyone to sit down, but Zhu Yanshu froze when he saw a picture hanging on the wall.
The principal also looked over and said with a smile, “This is a piece of ink left behind when Elder Zhu gifted the book.”
The photo was of the younger principal, and next to him was an old man wearing an eight-pole hat and a flag person’s long coat. In the principal’s hand is an unfolded inscription that reads “Teach and educate”.
Black and white photographs of the human figure to shine extraordinarily eye-catching, looks extremely God’s eyes, mannerisms and smiles are as if engraved on the same.
Zhu Yan Shu immediately tears down, hands are shaking.
Because the Zhu family did not leave a picture of Mr. Zhu.
Although the Zhu family has a camera, Zhu Yanshu year also played the camera, but the old Mr. Zhu does not like these Western things, smacked out of the picture is not like people, like ghosts – the old man’s words.
Wish Yan Shu own learning Western oil painting when it is also taken from the family as a model painting, but parents go after really can not bear to see, will be put away.
I didn’t expect to see Mr. Zhu’s picture here today, Zhu Yanshu instantly lost her composure.
Yang Yuyan and Yang Yucan also guessed that this was their grandfather. Compared to Yang Yucan who could still dig out the old man’s image from the corners of her memory, Yang Yuyan was seeing it for the first time.
She immediately wanted to be able to get this photo back, so she would have a picture of her grandfather at home.
But this is something she can’t ask for herself, it’s best to find someone to intercede. Unfortunately, Su Chunjun was out of town, and she didn’t know Prof. Dai very well.
However, Prof. Dai and the principal are both human beings, they don’t need Yang Yuyan to save the country, and Zhu Yanshu doesn’t need to open her mouth, the principal went up and took the photo off the wall, and held it with both hands and handed it in front of Zhu Yanshu.
Zhu Yanshu from just now can not speak, is to beg or buy, is to use favors or spend money, she is willing, but too excited, but can not think of a way.
Seeing the photo handed over, she hurriedly took it, hugged it in her arms, and deeply bowed to the principal.
The principal sighed and personally helped Zhu Yanshu up, then helped her sit down.
Professor Dai was more astute, he turned around and went out to fetch hot water, preparing it for Zhu Yanshu to wash her face with in a while.
The principal said: “Back then, we ran this school, encountered many difficulties, the most difficult is the book. What we thought was, not only to learn the advanced civilization of the West, but also not to leave behind the things of our ancestors. Western books are good, find someone to buy them from outside, but the collection of books are each family’s own treasure, to be passed on to future generations, we looked for many people, but could not borrow books.” He paused for a moment, “Only Mr. Zhu Lao, lent us more than two thousand books, and then donated nearly five thousand books later.”
University, how can there be no books?
What kind of university is a place without books?
The principal thought of Mr. Zhu’s gift of books at that time were burning in his heart. And Mr. Zhu sent books without seeking fame, without seeking profit, what trouble did not find him. It was equal to this favor of giving books, which he has not returned even now.
Today, on behalf of the professor sent Ms. Zhu’s family to the university, so as to take shelter, the principal felt that this is the opportunity to repay the favor has arrived.
He also thought long ago, can not call the benefactor’s children and grandchildren in the university to live unhappy, but also feel that he should not be here, taking advantage of the university, clouds.
He said, “I’ve always wanted to hire a female professor at the university, and since you’re here today, I’ll shamelessly ask you to take up this position.”
Zhu Yanshu froze at that, “How can I ……”
Prof. Dai just happened to come back with hot water and said with a smile, “Talking about business? Principal you are too anxious, that is, three times, you have to come three times ah, a time to expect things can be done? That can’t be done.”
This interruption, Zhu Yanshu as a woman’s reserve and as a descendant of the Zhu family’s pride came up.
She was definitely going to say yes!
Then it had to be a bit more solemn.
So she excused herself and said that she would go out to greet the children, called on Yang Yuyan and Yang Yucan, and went out, followed by Prof. Dai, telling them that he had made hot water, and put it in the next room, so you can make yourself at home.
Zhu Yanshu came out with the intention of organizing her mood so that she could go back and say yes, but she didn’t want Prof. Dai to be so thoughtful and considerate, so she was even more grateful to him and thanked him, and took Yang Yuyan and Yang Yucan to the next room.
As soon as she went in and closed the door, Zhu Yanshu commanded her two daughters, one of them rolled up her sleeves, and one of them held up a mirror for her.
Zhu Yanshu washed the rouge powder off her face and reapplied her face makeup, while telling her two daughters, “Originally I was worried that I would have to live under someone else’s roof, but now it’s fine, when I become a professor, it’s only right for you to live in the school with me.”
Yang Yuyan held up a mirror and helped Zhu Yanshu to take a look at the left and right, saying, “What do you teach?”
Zhu Yanshu was worried, “I have to think about it. Although I know a lot, I don’t know what kind of professors are missing here.”
On the other hand, Prof. Dai also asked the principal, “You didn’t mention this to me. You didn’t invite them here as a signboard, did you? If you want to do that, I don’t think Ms. Zhu will agree. She has pride.”
The principal said, “I trust Old Mr. Zhu’s tutelage, and this lady knows no less than you do. Let her teach whatever she wants to teach. There’s a lot of noise outside right now, alas, it’s better to save one than the other.”
As the two were talking, Zhu Yanshu came back. She came back on her own, letting Yang Yucan take Yang Yuyan to look for her classmates.
When she came in, she said, “In this world nowadays, things like qin, chess, calligraphy and painting are no longer useful, and there’s no need to teach them now. There is no need to teach them now. There are people here who can teach the classics, history, foreign languages, and so on. But I bet you don’t have a divorced woman here to be a professor.”
The principal and Prof. Dai were both stunned, Prof. Dai was vaguely guessing a little, his eyes lit up, and admiration rose in his heart.
The principal pondered for a moment and said, “What are you trying to teach?”
Zhu Yan Shu said, “The imperial consort divorced to open up a new path for me and other juniors, although I do not dare to compare with the predecessor, but also willing to emulate one or two.”
The emperor’s consort hired a lawyer to publish a newspaper to divorce with the emperor, told the women in the whole world, they can leave the man! Since ancient times, there have only been seven outings, and the Westerners came, bringing foreign guns and cannons, as well as new rules. Even if the emperor didn’t like the rules, who told him to believe in God first? God is monogamous. The Imperial Princess took that and managed to get out of that quagmire.
She is not only a brave woman, but also a great woman.
Daring to do what no one has done before is great.
Zhu Yan Shu even felt that the behavior of the Imperial Consort’s divorce could be compared to Wu Zetian’s ascension to the throne.
Before Wu Zetian, no one thought that a woman could be an emperor. Before the divorce of the imperial concubine, no one thought that a woman could repudiate a man.
Zhu Yanshu said, “There are many nuns as teachers in the church girls’ high schools, but we don’t have a female professor in our universities yet. I’ll be the first one.”
Let women know that they too can be professors and do elegant work.
She remembered Yanyan going to a department store and seeing all the men selling things, and saying that this kind of work was off-face and not women’s turn.
The little child’s words were astonishing.
Zhu Yanshu said, “I want my daughter to understand in the future that women can also do decent work.”
What is the most decent job?
The job of teaching and educating people.
It was naturally impossible for the principal to say no, “Well then, I’ll write you an appointment letter.”
The principal hurriedly went to the table to get paper and grind ink, on behalf of the professor sat down and said softly, “The imperial consort married another after the divorce, moved several times, and there are still people chasing after the door to abuse her.”
Zhu Yanshu said, “Doing what no one has ever done before, how can there be no abuse? Thanks for worrying about me, I know in my heart.” She let out a breath, “I want to give Yan Yan and Xiao Cicada another path to follow in the future, so that the children’s path will become wider and wider.” So that she doesn’t have to say things like, “Decent jobs are for men, women can only do the undignified ones, look at the cleaning lady over there.”
Prof. Dai smiled and said, “Yan Yan’s feelings are very keen, sometimes the words she says can startle people, she is a very smart child.”
Zhu Yanshu sighed: “Ghostly, I don’t know how I raised him.”
Prof. Dai: “A child will learn from the people around her, and grow by drawing nourishment from the people around her. The fact that she will grow so well is naturally due to her family.”
Zhu Yan Shu smiled, “It’s good that you don’t mind her being stupid.”
Professor Dai shook his head, “Yan Yan is not stupid, she is lazy. Smart children are all like this, she can easily learn what others can only learn with a lot of effort, she herself doesn’t learn it seriously.”
Zhu Yanshu hears Prof. Dai praising Yang Yuyan, and says happily, “Then you should be more strict, only a strict teacher can produce a good student.”
Prof. Dai glanced at her and said with a smile, “That’s what you said, I’ll take it seriously.”
Zhu Yanshu heard this and realized that she might have sold Yang Yuyan out, what if Professor Dai is really strict and beats his students? She immediately said back, “Alas, this child has been in poor health since childhood, sickly, I ah dare not be too strict.”
Professor Dai sighed and deliberately said, “I understand. Alas, this child is not only learning the good things, the bad things also follow.”
Zhu Yanshu’s brain was quick and immediately reacted that Professor Dai was saying that the bad in her was learned by Yang Yuyan!
Her eyebrows were about to rise, but she felt that this was someone else’s territory and Yang Yuyan’s mentor, so she couldn’t be seriously angry, so she smiled and said, “You’re right, in the future, if Yan Yan learns a lot from you, she will surely have no shortcomings.”
Professor Dai understood.
This is a spoiled child’s mother, want her to be a strict mother to strictly discipline the child, that is a dream, this kind of parents is the teacher’s great enemy ah.
