Chapter 49
The yellow bus pulled them all the way to the university, where the bus stopped in front of the gate, and Su Chunjun helped Yang Yuyan out of the bus.
It was only then that Su Chunjun explained, “Prof. Dai is a returnee, and he lives on campus.”
He was afraid that Yang Yuyan would be nervous when she heard that she was coming to the school, because all he knew from Zhu Yanshu was that Miss Yang was extremely bored with school. So he didn’t speak frankly until he reached his destination.
But beyond his expectations, Miss Yang is not only not nervous, but open eyes have been looking around curiously, see a group of students walking by will be curious, see a group of boys picking watermelon head will snicker, see a group of watermelon head male students climbing trees is not able to move away from the half of the gaze.
Su Chunjun had to pull her along, lest she become mesmerized and stop walking.
“Is it fun?” He smiled and straightened her sleeves.
“Fun.” Second Miss Yang was oblivious to this, and had the heart to ask, “Why are they all boys?”
Su Chunjun smiled and explained, “The number of female students is small, and they usually move around over at the Literary Arts Building.”
Yang Yuyan saw a few more people who were clearly older than the students walking past, but they were all wearing student uniforms.
“Why are they still so old?” Is he still going to college when his hair is gray?
Su Chunjun: “The purpose of our university’s founding is that there are no classes, anyone who has the desire to learn and passes the entrance exam can come to school.”
Then she saw a group of military officers walking past, with upright posture and a good demeanor. So this made Miss Yang stretch her neck again to do a whiplash exercise, until she couldn’t see the silhouette of the people before she turned back, even more excited and excitedly asked in a low voice: “How there are still officers ah!”
Su Chunjun smiled, “They came to be educated.”
Going inward was even more surprising.
Yang Yuyan first saw a river! Willows were planted on both sides of the embankment, and a dirt road stretched straight ahead.
There were also geese on the river!
Not just one or two, but a flock!
This was not the most surprising thing to her, she originally thought that they were raised for ornamental purposes, but Su Chunjun said next to her, “This is raised by the cafeteria.”
Yang Yuyan: “……”
The actual use of ah.
This is not the most surprising thing to her.
Further on, there are vegetable fields, vegetable fields and chickens and ducks, not far from the cows and donkeys and horses, a little farther away from the house as if from the pig squealing, a few students carrying a nail rake, carrying a wooden bucket, laughing loudly came.
Su Chunjun laughed beside him, “They are going to feed the pigs.”
At this time, a donkey cart leisurely passed by, the donkey cart was a pile of dung, a strong odor wafted from a long distance.
To be honest, she had never seen a manure cart before, this was the first time.
It would be more appropriate to say that this was the countryside. Only it is not like a university campus.
Yang Yuyan let out this sigh, “I didn’t realize that it was like this in college.”
Su Chunjun surged with a smile, happy to see her misunderstanding. He pointed to the grassy slope in front of him and said, “Walking past that place is Prof. Dai’s home.”
Although it was already winter, the grass on the ground hadn’t all turned yellow, half yellow and half green, all of them were very thin and weak, revealing the ground below, but there were still a few young leaves that sprouted indiscriminately regardless of the time of the year sticking out, dotted between the withered, thin and weak grass blades, as if they were tiny flowers.
Yang Yuyan thought she saw a wildflower and misread it several times, bending down and lowering her head to carefully identify it before realizing it was a newly sprouted bud.
“It sprouted so early.” She never knew.
Su Chunjun looked down and saw it as well, saying, “It’s spring after New Year’s, it’s coming soon.”
The two of them walked up the grassy slope and raised their eyes to see that at the end of the grassy slope was a small red building, with white railings, white doors and windows, and a white roof, as if a fairy tale cottage had suddenly jumped into view.
Yang Yuyan instantly forgot about the manure truck she just saw, and wrote down the scene in front of her at this time, thinking that this is the true face of the university, and it is really beautiful and touching.
The small building is built very nice, British standard symmetrical building model, although it looks small from a distance, look closer to realize that it is not small, and vaguely still see the students in the house.
Su Chunjun said: “Prof. Dai studied in England, and also went to France, Germany and Liverpool. The principal said that he brought new ideas from foreign countries so that we could see foreign countries from the perspective of our own people, which was very, very precious. We have been translating the writings of foreigners and learning foreign techniques and ideas, trying to find out ways to defeat them. But only our own people know what we really need, looking at it only from the foreigner’s point of view is actually very parochial, and we have taken a lot of detours in the past.”
Yang Yuyan heard from his words that he greatly admired Prof. Dai, which made her a little nervous.
Su Chunjun led her to the front of the villa, stretched his head to look inside and said to her, “Professor Dai seems to be having a lesson with them, let’s go in from this side.”
He led her in a half circle around the villa and went in through a door, she had thought it was some kind of door, but as soon as she went in, she saw stoves and tabletops, as well as mountains of firewood, coal, and other things.
Yang Yuyan couldn’t believe it, “…… This is the kitchen?”
Su Chunjun turned around and winked at her, “I used to enter from this side.”
Used to enter the classroom from the kitchen during class?
Yang Yuyan was impressed with Teacher Su!
It’s not meal time, so no one is cooking in the kitchen, but you can also smell the vegetables and noodles, and see baskets of turnips, potatoes, corn, cabbages, green peppers, etc. on the floor.
Su Chunjun led her through the baskets of vegetables on the floor, and after carefully looking at the vegetables, he said, “There are quite a lot of vegetables for lunch today, so many kinds.” There was a faint envy in his tone.
Yang Yuyan: “……”
It seems that Mr. Su used to be really hungry before he would go to Zhu’s house to eat, he really wasn’t pretending. When he went to Zhu’s house, the rice accounted for 70% and she accounted for 30%.
Su Chunjun walks out of the kitchen before explaining to her, “Professor Dai often treats his students to meals out of his own pocket, and the meals at his place are better than those at the cafeteria.”
Yang Yuyan nodded seriously.
She understood, really understood. Teacher Su is really starving over here, too pitiful, tonight, she will tell Zhang Ma to cook more for him.
Walking out of the kitchen, she came into the brighter and brighter corridor. The corridor was fitted with overhead lights and wall sconces on the walls, all of which were also carved styles, quite elaborate.
The floor was collaged with geometric patterns, and the walls were even wallpapered.
This is not like a school classroom, is a real villa, or a very elaborate kind.
If it wasn’t that Prof. Dai’s wallet was too bulging to decorate the school’s house for him, then it was that the school really valued him highly enough to build such a nice house for him.
Su Chunjun said, “Professor Dai usually lives on the third floor, the first and second floors are classrooms, and the library also has Professor Dai’s own collection of books.”
Yang Yuyan nodded, and then saw a large stain on the wall, the snow-white wallpaper suddenly appeared such a large stain is too ugly.
Su Chunjun laughed wistfully at the sight of it, “We threw ink on it when we fought in the corridor, and we wanted to wash it with water before Prof. Dai realized it, and it turned out to be such a big piece.”
Yang Yuyan genuinely asked, “Professor Dai is angry, right?” Did he whip you guys?
Su Chunjun was serious: “I also advised them not to use water to wash it and admit their mistake to Prof. Dai earlier, so Prof. Dai didn’t get angry with me.” The implication is that the other students didn’t get away with it.
Yang Yuyan said sincerely, “Teacher Su, you’re so bad.”
At this time a voice spoke in unison with her, “Su Chunjun! You’re showing off your bad blood again, aren’t you?”
A thin neck supporting a large head of the young man stood at the other end of the corridor shouting loudly, laughing happily, he was wearing wrinkled clothes, at a glance, it is a long time not washed, two sleeves pulled up high, in the winter this is very out of fashion, he also both hands are inserted in the pockets of pants, fashionable and very rustic, his two trouser legs are one high and one low, shuffling shoes to wear, also cut a watermelon cover head, but also in the middle of the score.
The youth saw Yang Yuyan at this time, deliberately exaggeratedly bending over and stretching his head, his voice even louder: “Yo! Su Chunjun is bringing a girl!”
Su Chunjun was afraid that he would scare Yang Yuyan, and immediately stopped him, “Shi Wuwei!”
The two men stood at one end of the corridor and shouted at each other, their voices so high that even the dead would be woken up by them.
Then a man came out of the house between the two men, he was around his early forties, wearing a vest, shirt, suit pants and brown leather shoes, his hair was combed back, his hairline was intact, he took turns to look at the young man and Su Chunjun, when he turned his head over, Yang Yuyan realized that he was simply handsome to the point of having no friends! Thick eyebrows like a sword, beautiful eyes like stars, straight nose, smiling mouth, he smiled and spoke, but Teacher Su immediately tensed up.
He said, “Shi Wuwei, Su Chunjun, you guys are too noisy, I’m in the middle of class.” He looked to Yang Yuyan and nodded with a smile.
Teacher Su immediately introduced for her, “Professor Dai, this is my student, her surname is Yang, she is the second in line at home, her nickname is Yuyan.”
Prof. Dai smiled, “Hello Miss Yang, please don’t be polite, everyone here is a friend. Pure Jun, you first lead Second Miss Yang to the tea room to have a seat, make a pot of tea and bring out some snacks to entertain the guests, I will come over after class in a while. Shi Wuwei.”
Shi Wuwei was so nervous that he had already wiped his head several times in a row, and at the sound of his voice, he immediately stood upright, “Good day, Professor!”
Professor Dai smiled and said, “Go to the kitchen and wash the dishes and peel the potatoes, eating requires labor.”
Shi Wuwei: “Yes, Professor!” Then scampered off.
Acting Professor chased away these two leather monkeys and went back to class.
Su Chunjun takes Yang Yuyan to the tea room, Shi Shi makes tea and takes snacks, then takes off his suit jacket, rolls up his sleeves, puts on his apron, and puts on a live performance of whipping cream.
In the Zhu family to drink coffee and eat cookies will not be reproduced whipped cream put on, that will be exhausted Zhang Ma.
Su Chunjun, however, is here to give her a show holding a pot with an egg pump skillfully beating cream, hands are to dance out of the shadow.
Yang Yuyan first sat and watched, then stood and watched, then began to applaud.
Su Chunjun, with splashes of cream on his face, smiled and said, “I’ll beat the cream for you at home in the future, and I can even bake a cake.”
Yang Yuyan was shocked beyond belief, “You can bake cakes?”
Su Chunjun said excitedly, “Yes, I can also bake cookies!”
Yang Yuyan was immediately ashamed of herself.
She is a woman who doesn’t know how to bake cakes and cookies, she is even worse than a man!
At this moment, someone at the door cleared his throat.
Yang Yuyan and Su Chunjun looked over, it was Professor Dai.
Professor Dai held his suit jacket in one hand and stood in the doorway, polite and courteous, just seemed to be glaring at Ms. Su, glaring at Ms. Su who became a lot more obedient, lowered her head and didn’t say anything, concentrating on whipping the cream.
Yang Yuyan keenly aware of the atmosphere is not right, immediately become a good boy, rely on Mr. Su beside do not say anything.
Professor Dai glared at Teacher Su once again, “Su Chunjun, explain.”
Su Chunjun had already whipped the cream, filled the cream and brought it over, lowered his sleeves, then brought Yang Yuyan over and respectfully reintroduced, “Professor Dai, this is my student, Yang Yuyan, I was asked by her parents to bring her to visit you. Yan Yan, this is Professor Dai.”
Yang Yuyan obediently greeted him.
Hearing that it was “entrusted by her parents”, Prof. Dai’s face finally looked better and he invited Yang Yuyan to sit down.
Only after Yang Yuyan sat down did she realize that Mr. Su was still standing.
Su Chunjun didn’t wait for her to ask a question and said, “I’m fine standing.”
Professor Dai quietly drank tea, his throat had long been dry after the class had just ended. After drinking a cup of tea, he could also see that it wasn’t an unbearable love between this young couple, Su Chunjun was obviously waiting for this little girl to grow up and mature, he pampered her with the same strength as he pampered a flower, which made the fire that had risen up in him just now come down quite a bit.
However, he still said to Su Chunjun after putting down his teacup, “Su Chunjun, as a teacher, preaching and teaching come second, teaching by word and example comes first. A morally corrupt teacher can’t teach an upright student, and a person who is always full of benevolence and morality but does murder and arson in his hands, no one will believe his words.”
Su Chunjun said with a straight face, “Thank you for Professor Dai’s teachings, I will keep it in mind.”
It was only then that Yang Yuyan understood what they were playing at, and after thinking about it, she spoke, “Professor Dai, I wonder if you recognize Yang Xuhe?”
Prof. Dai smiled politely, “I’ve heard of you for a long time, but I just couldn’t get a glimpse of him.”
Yang Yuyan tilted her head and said, “He is precisely my father.”
Prof. Dai heard what this little girl wanted to say and was curious about what she would say, so he waited for her to speak.
Yang Yuyan: “I am not ashamed of my father’s behavior and will not choose someone like him. My love is to love with the one who loves me, and to carry my white head with the one I love, we should be able to progress together and promote each other without dragging each other down and sinking into the mire.” She glanced at Teacher Su and couldn’t help but reveal a smile, “I believe I haven’t looked at the wrong person.”
This was the first time Yang Yuyan confessed in front of outsiders that she had an impure heart towards Su Chunjun.
It was much easier to open up to outsiders than to her family.
Moreover, she felt that she had the obligation and responsibility to defend Mr. Su since they were a nation.
After hearing these words, Prof. Dai went to look at Su Chunjun and found that the eyes of this formerly cold and sneering student were like holding a Milky Way, he then looked at Yang Yuyan, a pure heart impressing a cold heart, as long as they would not hurt each other in the future, it would really be the best and most legendary love in the world. He had yet to taste love, but looked forward to seeing the beautiful flower of love bloom.
“Pure Jun, sit down.” Professor Dai gestured, and only then did Su Chunjun take a seat beside Yang Yuyan.
Although Su Chunjun had only graduated in the middle of last year, his scenery at the Finance Bureau had already spread to the school, receiving mixed reviews among the teachers and students.
Professor Dai was also rather worried about this student, worried that he would be in a mess after he left the school.
“Pure Jun, I’ve heard that you’re well liked in the Finance Bureau, it just so happens that I’m planning to buy another batch of teaching aids, I wonder if I can borrow a bit of your east wind?” Professor Dai asked with a smile.
Yang Yuyan might as well this professor whom Mr. Su respected even wanted Mr. Su to write a note as soon as he opened his mouth, and was instantly ill-feeling.
Su Chunjun did not doubt him, and immediately said, “This is not difficult, just find a name for it, I don’t know what kind of teaching aids the professor wants to buy, and when do you want them? I’ll arrange it.”
Professor Dai stared at him, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw Yang Yuyan’s look, which was cynical, as if he was the great villain, and Su Chunjun was the great good guy who was being bullied by him.
Professor Dai instantly wanted to laugh, forced himself to hold back and discussed with Su Chunjun in a serious manner.
The teaching aids? The first is not urgent, first get him a little good wine and cigarettes, and good clothes, good watches, good fountain pens, good shoes, of course, if there can be a kickback to some real gold and silver would be better.
Su Chunjun heard half feel wrong, hindsight to see the side of a volcano named Miss Yang is about to erupt, and then look at the face of Professor Dai urged, cried and laughed, “Professor!”
Dai Yushu laughed out loud.
Su Chunjun hurriedly held Yang Yuyan and walked to the window, so and so, so and so to persuade her, “Don’t be angry, the professor is on purpose, the professor likes to mess with us the most.”
Because many students just came to school are not too accustomed to the atmosphere of the school, part of the students come from poverty, part of the students come from wealth, the two collide, contradictions one after another. But the school was a place where everyone was equal, and it was impossible to allow them to engage in class struggle here. Many professors, led by Prof. Dai, thought of many ways to do this, either punishing students to work together or making them play together. Prof. Dai also liked to joke around, especially in the classroom, just to get everyone to let go of their baggage, and this was a great effort on the part of the professor-perhaps it was just because of the professor’s own interest.
Yang Yuyan realized afterward, “Is Professor Dai teasing me?”
Su Chunjun admitted with amusement, “Yes.”
Yang Yuyan immediately went to look at Prof. Dai, only to have Prof. Dai wave at her with a particularly happy smile, not at all like the serious, grave, polite, and a little arrogant Prof. Dai from a moment ago.
Yang Yuyan was dumbfounded.
This is actually a professor? This was actually a professor doing this?
When she looked over, Professor Dai’s pair of eyes were sparkling and still smiling. And he was taking a big bite of the cake, smearing it with the cream that Su Chunjun had just whipped up.
Su Chunjun immediately comforted her, “It’s fine, I’ve been screwed by professors before, we’ve all been screwed by professors.” Only after being fixed by the professor did they dare to fight in the corridor and play soccer in the classroom. Hundreds of people were afraid of nothing, starting with the realization that the professor was a hundred times more afraid of nothing.
“Surely you’re not afraid of the professor now?” He asked.
Yang Yuyan looked into her heart and realized that she really wasn’t afraid anymore. Because she felt that this professor, seemed like a very tolerant teacher ah.
Only then did Su Chunjun lead her to walk back and re-seat her.
Yang Yuyan blinked her eyes as she re-measured Professor Dai, realizing that his face was warm and childlike, and his smile still carried a slightly naive demeanor.
Moreover, he was handsome. A handsome man’s pranks could never make people angry yet.
Professor Dai licked the cream off his fingers and smiled, “It’s just easy to get hungry after a lecture. Sorry about earlier.” He turned to Yang Yuyan and said with a straight face, “I originally thought that it was Su Chunjun, this kid who is not a good person, when he is someone’s teacher he still abducted a female student, but in the end, after hearing your words and learning that you guys are sincere, I saw that you defended her so much that I couldn’t help but tease you guys a little bit. Pure Jun his name is the sword, people are also too cold and arrogant and lonely, now see him become much softer around you, I can also be more at ease.”
Cold and arrogant? Lonely?
Who is this?
Yang Yuyan was even more curious about what kind of person Mr. Su was when he was in school.
Professor Dai smiled and said, “Do you want to know what he was like in school?”
Yang Yuyan immediately abandoned her former suspicions and positively said, “I want to!”
Su Chunjun was alarmed, “Professor! You have to be moral!”
Prof. Dai then said with disappointment and regret, “Alas, it seems that we can’t talk about it then.”
Yang Yuyan was also disappointed and regretful, ouch, what was the cold, arrogant and lonely Teacher Su like? She really wanted to know ah!
In his anxiety, Su Chunjun actually felt that this might be a reason to persuade Yang Yuyan to go to college. He pondered for a moment, unable to decide whether this approach was useful or not. But when he went to see Prof. Dai, he found that Prof. Dai was looking at him and winking.
Could it be that Prof. Dai had guessed why he had brought Yang Yuyan here?
