Chapter 87: I Look Down on You

This class was the hardest class Lu Shanmin had ever taken in his life, and the old professor on the podium spoke Chinese, and his ears were full of heavenly books. Later, I had to memorize what the old professor said. Fortunately, the old professor's speed of speech was not very fast, but it was not easy to memorize every word he said, because the old professor could not understand what he said at all, so he could only memorize every word. After a class, I remember that Lu Shanmin was sweating profusely and his right hand was numb.

When the bell rang for the end of class, most of the students rushed out of the classroom as if they had heard a rallying call, except for a few students who couldn't even wake up from the bell. Lu Shanmin finally breathed a sigh of relief, shook his numb right hand, looked at the notebook and nodded with satisfaction. Zeng Yaqian tilted her head on the side, smiling happily while reading the content of Lu Shanminji.

The old professor was very helpless, these bunnies, is the old man's class so ugly? Before he finished speaking, they all ran out. The short minutes of a class are not enough for him to play, and as soon as he talks about the excitement, the classroom is already empty. It's a very unpleasant feeling. It's like just taking off his pants and preparing to go into battle, and the other party comes to say, 'Aunt is here, not today'. I saw that there were two students in the first row, and one of them was still looking at the notebook seriously, looking like he was still unsatisfied. There was a smile of relief on his face.

In fact, he had already noticed that this student who took notes carefully, as a teacher, in fact, just like a storyteller, you must have an audience to speak with your eyebrows, so that you can have a sense of satisfaction. At this time, Lu Shanmin let him find a trace of satisfaction in his shortcomings. With a relieved smile, he walked to Lu Shanmin's table and said with a smile: "Shame and courage, you are a good student, let me see your notes."

Being able to get the old professor's praise, Lu Shanmin was a little excited, quickly got up, held the notebook in both hands and handed it to the old professor. Zeng Yaqian looked like she had nothing to do with herself, and she smiled gloatingly.

Picking up Lu Shanmin's notebook, the old professor was pleasantly surprised, "Hey, such beautiful words, in this era, young people who can write such beautiful words are really rare." But after a few seconds of excitement, the wrinkles on his forehead were squeezed into a pile, and the more he saw the expression on his face behind him, the more solemn he became.

Seeing the end, the old professor was so angry that he pointed at Lu Shanmin's nose and scolded, "You, what you kid wrote, it's messy."

Lu Shanmin was stunned on the spot, scratching his head worriedly, "I remember what you said." ”

"Fart", the old professor took the notebook and knocked Lu Shanmin's head hard, "nonsense". As he spoke, he slapped his notebook on the desk, and you can see for yourself, what the hell is this 'mother's shoes'? And this 'duck egg dead rice', and these ........ When did I talk about this"?

Zeng Yaqian had already seen the contents of Lu Shanmin's notebook, and she had already expected the situation at this moment, so she covered her mouth and giggled:

"Teacher, I think he should have written Marshall and Adam Smith. ”

Lu Shanmin's face was full of embarrassment, and he lowered his head in shame, he didn't expect to be so embarrassed in the first class.

The old professor trembled with anger, a student studying economics, who did not know Marshall and Adam Smith, and used "Marshall" and "duck eggs and dead rice" instead, teaching all his life, and never encountered such a thing, it was simply unprecedented, and it was a big joke in the world.

Seeing that the old professor was flushed with anger, Zeng Yaqian said, "Professor, he is not a student of our school, and he has never been exposed to economics before."

The old professor glanced at Zeng Yaqian, looked at Lu Shanmin and said, "It's really hard for you, you really do everything to pick up girls."

Lu Shanmin raised his head and wanted to open his mouth to justify.

Zeng Yaqian preemptively said: "Professor Ma, you misunderstood, he is indeed here to study, you take a closer look at his notebook, which student can be so serious as him."

The old professor sighed, glanced at Lu Shanmin with an embarrassed face curiously, picked up the notebook again, and carefully looked at the notes that were full of memorization, except for many proper nouns Donkey's lips are not in the horse's mouth, this kid has memorized almost every word he said, and it seems that he has indeed worked hard.

"Are you interested in economics?" the old professor asked with a frown.

Lu Shanmin's mood was very low, and a deep sense of powerlessness surged in his heart, no matter what difficulties he encountered before, he always believed that he could overcome them, but this time was different, he really felt hopeless. 'University' may not be something that a mountain villager like him can go to. Regarding the old professor's questioning, Lu Shanmin felt bitter in his heart, he didn't even know what economics was, so how could he talk about interest.

"Professor, what is economics?"

The old professor was stunned by this question, and asked in surprise, "You really don't know?"

Seeing the old professor's expression, Lu Shanmin knew that he had asked a question that everyone knew was an idiot, and nodded with a slight blush, "I'm just a mountain villager who graduated from elementary school."

After speaking, Lu Shanmin got up and bowed deeply to the old professor: "I'm sorry for the trouble." With that, he walked out of the classroom.

Looking at the young man who walked out with a discouraged face, a complicated look flashed in the old professor's eyes, some excited, some frustrated, some excited, and some pity.

Come while you're in a hurry, and come home in a disgrace. Walking on the road of the campus, Lu Shanmin was not as excited and curious as when he first came, and just walked towards the gate of the school mechanically. I just feel that I am still too whimsical, what kind of place is this, this is the temple of knowledge, and it is the place where the pride of heaven stays. And he, a mountain villager who graduated from primary school, may have been destined to be destined to be here for a long time. Lu Shanmin once again strongly felt the feeling of walking on the road when he first arrived in the East China Sea, surrounded by a shadowless and invisible glass cover, completely isolating himself from the world.

Zeng Yaqian chased after her and walked side by side with Lu Shanmin, "Hit?"

Lu Shanmin nodded, "I don't belong here."

Zeng Yaqian smiled and said: "Shanmin, you don't have to be discouraged, you are the first time to come to class, and there is no textbook, you have never heard of those things before, I don't know it's normal, I didn't know what the teacher was talking about on stage when I first came to the university to take classes." ”

Lu Shanmin smiled bitterly, "Thank you for comforting me." ”

Zeng Yaqian had long expected such a result, how could a primary school graduate understand the university curriculum. However, he didn't expect to deal such a blow to Lu Shanmin, and said comfortingly: "Have you forgotten how you reached Chen Dacheng with one punch when we first met?

Lu Shanmin shook his head, "That's different, knowing is knowing and not knowing is not knowing, grandpa often says that don't force everything, you must be self-aware." ”

Zeng Yaqian said a little anxiously: "You are also a person who has read the books of sages, haven't you heard of 'Tianxingjian Gentleman Strives for Self-improvement'?"

As he spoke, he grabbed Lu Shanmin's hand, "There will be a class later, come with me."

Lu Shanmin broke free of Zeng Yaqian's hand and said lightly: "Don't go."

Zeng Yaqian frowned, "Do you remember the promise made to me yesterday?"

Lu Shanmin looked at Zeng Yaqian suspiciously.

"You said yesterday that you are willing to become a person with capital for my friend."

"But"?

"But there's nothing you can do?" Zeng Yaqian said angrily.

"I, I really can't".

"Just because of that lesson"?

Lu Shanmin's heart was extremely entangled, he was not a person who would give up easily, if it was possible, even if there was only a glimmer of hope, he would work hard to become a person like Zeng Yaqian and Bai Ling, but in this class, he only saw deep despair.

"I only went to elementary school, not even junior high school or high school, and I am not destined to reach the same heights as you."

Zeng Yaqian gritted her teeth and said fiercely: "Lu Shanmin, do you know why I am willing to be friends with you? In my eyes, you are different from others."

Lu Shanmin shook his head in disappointment, "Of course it's different, you are all college students, educated and knowledgeable, and I'm just a mountain villager who doesn't know anything."

Zeng Yaqian's face was cold, he sneered, and said word by word: "Lu Shanmin, I look down on you."

Looking at the back of Zeng Yaqian leaving angrily, Lu Shanmin felt a deep sense of loss in his heart, and Bai Ling had become people from two different worlds, and Zeng Yaqian was not from the same world. Grandpa often said, 'Gain is calm, lose calmly', Lu Shanmin asked himself if he can achieve calm, but can he really be calm when he loses? When I first heard Bai Ling's sentence 'Well frogs can't speak the sea, and summer insects can't speak of ice', I clearly heard my heartbroken voice. With the phrase "I look down on you", Lu Shanmin heard that voice again.

looked at Zeng Yaqian's back until it disappeared, just like when she stood on the hillside and watched Bai Ling's figure disappear into the distance. Lu Shanmin turned his head and walked towards the school gate.

Ma Guodong has taught in the financial college all his life, the financial college is not a non-mainstream university at the beginning, think that at the beginning, before the university has not expanded its enrollment, the school's economics major is also the top existence in the entire East China Sea, and the school's professors are not lacking in the top domestic economic experts. With the deepening of reform and opening up, the market economy is gradually in line with international standards, and a large number of top faculty members have been poached by other universities. In fact, many colleges and universities across the country have extended olive branches to Ma Guodong, but they are in love with the school complex and feel that they are teaching and educating people everywhere, so they did not accept it. Finance colleges are academic colleges, there are not enough funds for development, and there is a large loss of excellent professors, so it has gradually become the last university that can only recruit some students with the lowest grades in high school.

As an older generation gardener, Ma Guodong has put all his attention on academics and educating the next generation, but in recent years, he has been disappointed that someone is willing to teach, which does not mean that someone is willing to learn. Every time I stand on the podium, I have the feeling of singing a one-man show. The classroom was sparsely filled, half immersed in sleep, and half of his thoughts had already drifted out of the clouds. He knows that most of these students just want to mix up a diploma, and as for the process of learning knowledge, it can be saved.

The student I met today made this old professor who had been silent for a long time extremely uneasy. Maxima needs Bole to gallop thousands of miles, and Bole also needs Maxima to set off his existence. At this time, Ma Guodong had such a feeling, a feeling of excitement that Boya met his child.

Turn around and walk towards the school gate. "This student, please stay", a familiar voice came from behind him, this voice had just been listening to a whole lesson in class.

Lu Shanmin didn't think he was calling himself, a mountain villager who graduated from elementary school, what qualifications did he have to let a respected old professor chase him out in person. After a pause, he didn't look back, raised his feet and continued walking.

"Wait", the old professor's voice came from behind him, and Lu Shanmin stopped and looked back. The old professor was walking slowly towards him, with a flushed smile on his face, like the look of a man with bad intentions when he sees a pretty girl in a movie.

Lu Shanmin chuckled in his heart and looked at the old professor in surprise. "Teacher, are you calling me"?

Ma Guodong said dissatisfiedly: "I don't call you anyone."

In Lu Shanmin's opinion, the old professor had no reason to call himself, and asked with doubts: "Do you have something to do with me?"

Ma Guodong didn't answer directly, he smiled, and asked with a strange look: "Did you quarrel with your girlfriend?"

Lu Shanmin shook his head, "She's not my girlfriend."

Ma Guodong asked reluctantly, "Prospective girlfriend"?

Lu Shanmin shook his head helplessly and said, "Maybe I won't even be an ordinary friend in the future."

Ma Guodong smiled, "Are you interested in sitting with me, an old man?"

Lu Shanmin was stunned for a moment, a little surprised, but still nodded.

Following Ma Guodong to a small garden of the school, Ma Guodong sat on the bench, patted the other end of the bench, smiled, "Sit". That smile is very kind, like a spring breeze, and it is somewhat similar to grandpa's smile.

Lu Shanmin nodded and sat down next to the old professor.

"This classmate, my name is Ma Guodong, what's your name"?

"Hello Professor Ma, my name is Lu Shanmin"

"Lu Shanmin, villagers in the mountains. ”

Lu Shanmin nodded.

"Your handwriting is beautifully written. ”

"Thank you".

"Mountain people, you came to the city from the countryside to work, right?"

"Hmm".

Ma Guodong sighed, "Do you like that girl just now?"

Lu Shanmin looked at the old professor who was full of books in surprise, he didn't expect him to suddenly ask this question, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, a girl like Zeng Yaqian, there must be many people who like her, as for whether he likes her or not, Lu Shanmin didn't think about this question at all. But to answer that I don't like it, I can't even say the word for a while.

"I don't know".

The old professor smiled with an indecent smile: "Hehe, that girl named Zeng Yaqian is a well-known school flower of the financial college, and it is said that the family is still very rich, hey, if I were dozens of years younger, I would like her."

Lu Shanmin looked at Ma Guodong incredulously, he didn't expect a professor to be so old and improper, is it idle to be a professor?

Lu Shanmin asked suspiciously, "Old professor, you don't just want to talk to me about this, do you?"

Ma Guodong said with a serious face: "These are important to you, and they are also important to me."

Lu Shanmin looked at Ma Guodong with white hair inexplicably, he himself was so important that he could figure out a little bit about him.

Ma Guodong said unhurriedly, "Don't worry, listen to me slowly." "Shanmin, you just said that you are just a mountain villager who graduated from elementary school, do you think you are worthy of her?"

Lu Shanmin shook his head without hesitation, and said with some frustration: "She and I are people of two worlds, how can we be worthy."

Ma Guodong nodded, "So it's not that you don't know if you like him, you don't let yourself like her at all, and you don't dare to think about it."

Lu Shanmin looked at Ma Guodong in surprise, feeling that what he said made some sense, but he felt that it was not entirely like that.

Ma Guodong continued: "You just said that you are not worthy, specifically, what do you think are not worthy"?

Lu Shanmin lowered his head and thought for a long time, "She is the daughter of a rich family or a college student, and I am just a primary school student from a poor family."

Ma Guodong shook his head, "You're not right"?

"That's not right?" Lu Shanmin was very puzzled.

"You only see the appearance, not the substance". She is a college student, she has read more books than you, has more knowledge than you, and has a deeper understanding of the world than you. In general, behind this disparity of identity, the essential difference between you is your worldview, outlook on life, and values. ”

Ma Guodong continued: "Therefore, if you want to be worthy of her, you do not necessarily have to surpass her wealth and education, but you must at least reach or surpass her three views level."

Lu Shanmin looked at Ma Guodong in a daze, this was the first time he had heard of any outlook on life, worldview and values.

Ma Guodong continued, "Do you think chickens and ducks can understand what the other party says?"

Lu Shanmin shook his head.

Ma Guodong said, "Actually, it's possible."

"Ah, how is it possible, they are not of the same kind". Lu Shanmin said in disbelief.

"Hehe, as long as they can cultivate to become fine, let alone chickens and ducks, even people can communicate."

Lu Shanmin was almost choked to death by Ma Guodong's words, isn't this quite unreasonable? How can there be monsters in this world? I thought to myself, this old professor won't be old and confused.

Looking at Lu Shanmin's expression, Ma Guodong smiled, "Bai Suzhen is still a snake spirit, not married to Xu Xian, and gave birth to a Wenqu star."

Ma Guodong said earnestly, "Mountain people, I just want to tell you that people are destined to be born and cannot be changed, but identity cannot imprison a person's life, compared with the feudal society of thousands of years ago, this society is already extremely fair, as long as you work hard with your hands, you will not starve to death, as long as you want to study, even the university classroom is open to the outside world, you want to become the same kind of person as Zeng Yaqian's three views, it is not out of reach."
