023【Final Preparations Before the Start of School】
After 11 o'clock in the afternoon,
After Huo Yaowen came out of "Oriental Newspaper", there was a stack of manuscript paper missing from the briefcase in his hand, but there was an envelope full of money.
Casually holding the briefcase in his arms, Huo Yaowen walked towards another path on Guizhou Street in Kowloon, where was the road to Teacher Zhang's house.
The manuscript of more than 70,000 words was almost 2,100 yuan, which made Huo Yaowen, who was gradually shy, bulge his pocket again, and even seemed to be a lot happier with his walking steps.
When I arrived downstairs at Mr. Zhang's house, where was the fruit seller, hiding under a small parasol under the scorching sun above his head in this scorching summer, shaking a pu fan, and gulping down the herbal tea brought from home.
This time, in addition to buying another big watermelon, Huo Yaowen also picked several different seasonal fruits, holding a briefcase in his right arms, and a bag of fruits in his left and right hands, and walked towards the floor of Mr. Zhang's house.
After a while, when he arrived at the door, Huo Yaowen raised his hand and knocked on the door.
"Knock Knock"
Two knocks rang out at the door.
When the lady in the house heard the movement at the door, she walked over and asked, "Who?"
Huo Yaowen replied: "Master, it's me, Yaowen." ”
With a "click", the iron security door was opened, and the senior wife looked at Huo Yaowen at the door with a happy face and said, "Yaowen, why are you here today? ”
"I just happened to have something going on here, so I thought I would come and see my wife. Huo Yaowen smiled.
"What are you doing here, do you need your teacher's help?"
As he spoke, when he led Huo Yaowen into the house, he noticed the two bags he was carrying, and said with a displeased face: "Why did you bring so many things up, didn't my wife say it? ”
"You haven't started working yet, what does it look like to spend money lavishly! When you come up to buy things, are you using your wife as an outsider?!" "My wife knew that Huo Yaowen's family conditions were average, and it was very difficult to make money in Hong Kong at the moment, so I was very unhappy when I saw that he bought some things that were fruitful.
Hearing this, Huo Yaowen said with a smile: "How dare I treat you as an outsider, Master! When I was studying, the teacher and you took care of me at a high price, but I regarded the second elder as a relative!!"
Hearing him say this, his wife's face improved slightly, but she still complained: "That's it, my wife said don't buy it next time, but you don't listen." ”
Huo Yaowen said with a smile: "Master, don't worry, this time I came here to visit the teacher and ask about the course after the start of school, and on the other hand, I went to the newspaper office to get the manuscript fee." ”
"Manuscript fee?" My wife was stunned for a moment, and then said with a happy face: "Have you written an article and submitted it to the newspaper?"
Huo Yaowen nodded: "Well, I think a lot in my mind in my spare time, so I casually wrote a novel and submitted it." ”
"Who's coming?"
At this time, Zhang Chengyi, who was sleeping in the back room, heard the movement outside, put on his clothes, and asked while opening the door.
"It's Yaowen who came, and this kid came when he came, but he bought some raw fruits. When my wife saw Zhang Chengyi coming, she also complained about Huo Yaowen again.
Zhang Chengyi took a closer look at Huo Yaowen and the fruit he was carrying, and said with a calm face: "Yaowen, the teacher knows that you have good intentions, but there is no need to bring things up every time you come." ”
Hearing Zhang Chengyi's almost scolding tone, Huo Yaowen not only did not get angry, but was happy in his heart, before this he only received the memory of the original owner, but did not receive emotions, so when he felt Zhang Chengyi's stern care, he was very moved in his heart.
Smiling, Huo Yaowen explained: "Teacher, didn't I just send the manuscript fee, and I want to buy something to honor your old man!"
"Manuscript fee?" Zhang Chengyi was stunned.
But the wife next to her said with a smile: "Yes, just now Yaowen said that the novel he wrote was successfully submitted." ”
After speaking, Mrs. turned her head to look at Huo Yaowen and asked, "By the way, Yaowen, which newspaper are you submitting to?" Mrs. will go buy a newspaper tomorrow and read your novel. ”
"Oriental Press. Huo Yaowen said casually.
Zhang Chengyi frowned and said, "Why haven't I heard of this newspaper?"
Huo Yaowen explained: "It is a small newspaper, and it will be officially launched the day after tomorrow. And their newspaper office is at No. 362 Guizhou Street, and the environment inside is very good, and the place is quite big. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Chengyi seemed to think of something and said: "By the way, I remember, when I went out to exercise in the morning, it seemed that on the right side of an intersection, I saw a signboard with "Oriental Newspaper" written on it. ”
"Yes, that's it. Huo Yaowen nodded.
The senior wife next to him said at this time: "Old man, hurry up and let Yaowen sit down and say, this has been standing, and his head is sweating." ”
"Yes, yes, Yaowen put things down and sat down. ”
...
After the two sat down, the master and wife ran directly into the kitchen to lay egg noodles after learning that Huo Yaowen hadn't eaten yet.
"My wife's egg noodles are my favorite to eat. Huo Yaowen remembered the love of "himself" for his master's egg noodles in his memory, and hurriedly said with a smile.
"Yes, your wife is also good under the eggs. Zhang Chengyi secretly glanced at the kitchen and saw that there was no movement inside, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yaowen, you are here this time for the new semester class schedule." ”
Huo Yaowen nodded: "Yes, teacher, I originally wanted to ask Director Huang, but I learned that Director Huang was on a business trip to the UK, and said why he opened the Law Department to prepare." ”
"Well, I also know a little bit about the affairs of the Law Department, recently the Hong Kong Governor's Office issued some documents, to do a little bit of understanding of the education situation in various districts, this was originally intended to prepare for a free education for six years of primary school, which is indeed a good thing, but Yaowen, you also know that if it is free, it means that there is no profit, the cost of students' textbooks, and the teacher's salary, all of which need to be paid for. ”
Zhang Chengyi sighed with emotion, then threw out the topic and said, "Don't talk about these troubles. The class schedule for the new semester, the arrangement of Director Huang and the department, originally wanted me to take you to class. But I thought about it, if I keep carrying you, you won't have a burden, and you will have to put a little pressure on you.
So I communicated with Director Huang and a few bosses in the Faculty of Arts, and we both taught separately in the new semester. Philosophy classes are electives, there are not many courses, and as you know, students, that's all. So I continue with the second and third graders, the first year freshmen we leave it to you to do the complex, as for how to teach, that's your own business. ”
In the end, Zhang Chengyi said: "Regarding the establishment of the law school this time, in order to expand the faculties, the school is also preparing to divide the elective philosophy courses into a separate philosophy department, and I heard that it is also preparing to hire some philosophy professors or bachelors from abroad with high salaries to teach, so Yaowen teaches new students this time, you have to work hard." ”
"It will live up to expectations!"
Huo Yaowen didn't expect that the philosophy class would also be divided into a separate department, so he couldn't help frowning, but he was still full of confidence on his face.
Zhang Chengyi suddenly asked: "By the way, did you write the three views that you wrote last time?"
"Wrote the teacher. ”
Huo Yaowen opened his briefcase and took out more than a dozen pieces of letter paper from it, which he wrote according to the three views that were popular on the Internet in later generations, as well as his own understanding, and the current environment of ordinary Hong Kong citizens: "On the importance of people's three views: outlook on life, values, and world view".
Zhang Chengyi took the letter paper and slowly looked at it little by little.
At this time, the master also brought out the boiled egg noodles, "Yaowen noodles are ready, eat them quickly, don't wait for the paste." ”
"Thank you, Mrs. Huo Yaowen hurriedly stood up and took it.
In this way, Huo Yaowen was eating egg noodles while answering the questions raised by Zhang Chengyi when he looked at the "three views".
A few minutes later.
Huo Yaowen finished eating the noodles and quietly waited for Mr. Zhang to finish reading.
After a while, Zhang Chengyi put down the letter in his hand and finished reading, his mouth was full of admiration, and said: "Yes, Yaowen, your writing is really good, I think your three-view theory can be published in some newspapers, so that more people can see that people live not only to have a bite to eat, but also to have more and better futures and ideals!!"
"The teacher has won the prize. Huo Yaowen hurriedly humbled himself.
"Don't be too modest. Zhang Chengyi said with a smile: "That's it, you put things here for me, I just have a friend who works in "Ming Pao", I will show it to the other party in a few days, if I can, it will be published in "Ming Pao", what do you think?"
Huo Yaowen thought about it and nodded: "Yes." ”
The two chatted a few more words,
Zhang Chengyi said: "Yaowen, this freshman class, in addition to teaching according to the content of the textbook, you can also tell the students about the three views, a philosophy lecturer, must have his own ideas and perception of philosophy, in order to be able to teach others, lead others, and embark on the road of philosophy." ”
"I would be a teacher. ”
...
When I got out of Mr. Zhang's house, it was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon.
Originally, Huo Yaowen was ready to go back at half past one, but his wife said that the sun was too strong outside, and it was not too late to blow the air conditioner at home and wait until the sun went down before leaving.
So it was delayed to more than three o'clock.
Watching the sun in the sky gradually set, Huo Yaowen couldn't help but start worrying when he thought of the class schedule handed to him by Teacher Zhang, and three days later, it would be the first freshman philosophy class.
After all, it is the first time to be a teacher, and it is still the only Hong Kong University in Hong Kong, which makes Huo Yaowen very worried, but after thinking about it, it seems that there is nothing to worry about.
Philosophy is different from other subjects in that pure philosophical knowledge is not very important, but has a rich thinking and perception of the world, as well as a personal way of thinking and looking at problems.
All this,
is the key to philosophy.
