Chapter 6: Reminiscences of the Past
Both of them had their suitcases in the trunk and did not take them down!
Stepping into the campus of Qinning University, Yan Wen's heart suddenly appeared with a rather strange feeling!
"Hehehe, it's also quite interesting! I haven't been a student in school yet, but I'm actually a university teacher!
With a sigh of relief, Yan Wen looked at the young people walking together on the campus, and unconsciously let out a sigh!
"Didn't you go to school?"
Yan Wen's words shocked Chu Yating, who was walking behind him!
Nine years of compulsory education?!
In the first two years, the approval of the Ministry of Science and Education has been changed to 12 years of compulsory education.
Yan Wen was stunned when he heard this!
He pursed his lips slightly, turned his head, looked at Chu Yating, whose delicate face was full of surprise and surprise, shook his head and smiled lightly!
"Don't you know what kind of people my family is? To be honest, it's useless to be in our line of work, and if you can't get into school! After seven years of studying, with my uncle here, I don't need to study with others! So I haven't been to any provincial or municipal drama school! Students---- I can be said to be my uncle's student, but I'm his own nephew, and I'm still learning the things of our Yan family, so it's another matter!"
Knowing that Chu Yating couldn't understand why she hadn't gone to school, Yan Wen explained calmly!
"However, the meaning of going to school is not only about studying!" Chu Yating still couldn't accept it, "According to what you say, I don't have to go to school anymore! Our family can invite the best teachers in the country to come to my home and ask me to give lessons, but can this be the same thing?"
"Why isn't it the same thing?"
Yan Wen laughed and spread his hands puzzled!
"Of course not!"
Chu Yating stepped in front of Yan Wen in one step, her stunning face was already full of seriousness, and her tone was also very serious and said to Yan Wen!
"Don't say anything else! In school, at different ages, you will come into contact with people of different ages: teachers, classmates, and even the parents and family members of your classmates! These people are the first connection between you and society, and they are all an indispensable part of life! No matter where you are, you still have to step back into society, right?"
Obviously, Chu Yating also knows Yan Wen's identity and the old things of their family!
But none of this should be a reason for him to break away from society and grow up independently!
"Is it the first one in line with society?"
Yan Wen did not shy away from the question, and seemed to be full of interest in the debate!
"Maybe for you, school is your first contact with this society, but for me, it's not like that!"
As he spoke, Yan Wen walked slowly to a flower bed on the side of the road!
He picked up his blue-gray robe, sat down lightly on the edge of South China, and then raised his head towards Chu Yating towards the position next to him!
Chu Yating also stopped with Yan Wen, saw him raise his head to signal to him, thought about it, and sat down slowly next to Yan Wen!
She really wanted to hear how Yan Wen's life was different from other peers!
"How-"
Yan Wen looked at the crowds of college students not far away!
Some are fashionably dressed seniors, and there are many military training freshmen wearing camouflage uniforms and tanned!
He patted his thighs gently, his fingertips rhythmically moving up and down in front of his knees!
After a long time, Fang smiled leisurely and continued!
"Since I was very young, I often went to the countryside to perform with our troupe there, or some privately formed grass stage troupe! The first time I went to Xinxiang, I remember that I should have been only two and a half years old at that time!"
Yan Wen squinted his eyes slightly, and his big black-framed glasses covered most of his face, making it difficult to see his expression at this time!
Chu Yating sat beside him and quietly listened to Yan Wen's eloquent speech!
"It should be two and a half years old! I don't remember anything before I was two years old! How can I say it, these troupes or grass stage troupes are not like those professional troupes of provincial and municipal units, so the programs they perform are very miscellaneous, Peking Opera, Pingju, two-person stage, two-person turn---- anyway, there are everything!
The actors don't even have a real professional background, they are all poor children with no money and no land, and they come out to sing and beg for a living! Haven't they all gone to school? This is the first connection between me and this society! I grew up with these people since I was a child, so what's the point of me not going to school?"
"Two and a half years old?!so young?"
Chu Yating exhaled in disbelief!
"What about Uncle Yan, how can he rest assured that you will follow those miscellaneous troupes to the countryside to perform?"
"Uncle, ——!"
Hearing Chu Yating mention the only relative who raised him and taught him the skills of his life, Yan Wen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief!
"In the first few years, my uncle's life was not easy! I heard Grandpa Bai say that when we were just sent to the three eastern provinces, I don't know why, my uncle arrived in Chajing with his lower body disabled! You see that he can walk and move now, and he seems to be fine! But when it rains on a cloudy day, his two strands still hurt his heart! He never told me about me, but I know it myself!"
"So, when you were very young, Uncle Yan actually kept recovering from his leg injury, so how did you live?"
Chu Yating frowned slightly, looked at Yan Wen's calm and delicate face, and asked suspiciously!
"Rely on friends to help!"
Yan Wen looked sideways at Chu Yating and said indifferently!
"It's also thanks to my father's virtuous nature and his friends all over the world! These big horns and famous artists in the Northeast have more or less received my father's favor! Like Grandpa Bai, Uncle Lin, and Teacher He, they are all my father's best friends! There are also those folk troupes! Although they have not had anything to do with my father, they all respect my father's name! These folk artists are the most grouped!
It was only with the help of our seniors that our uncle and nephew barely survived the saddest years! It wasn't until I was about five years old that my uncle's leg recovered, and our lives gradually got back on track! To be honest, both of us were able to survive to this day by eating a hundred family meals!"
"Then why didn't you come to my father? For so many years, he has been talking about Uncle, Uncle Yan and you!"
Chu Yating looked at Yan Wen's still immature face, and said with a slight smile about the hard days of childhood, and couldn't help but feel a burst of maternal pity in her heart!
"I don't know!" Yan Wen shook his head, "Actually, before I was fifteen years old, I didn't know that my father had a sworn brother in Qinning!
"Oh!"
Chu Yating narrowed a pair of charming and narrow phoenix eyes, nodded lightly, but did not ask again!
"Do you know why I like to wear this old gown?"
Yan Wen's talk is unabated!
He tugged at the blue-gray robe on his body, looked at Chu Yating and said!
Before coming to Qin Ning, Chu Yating once persuaded him to change into ordinary casual clothes, but he refused!
"It's not because I want to be different and unique, but because this robe is the first piece of clothing that belongs to me alone!
I must have been ten years old, and my uncle made me such a robe for a New Year's theater party! At that time, I was really big at that time! The sleeves were long, and the gown was long! But I also wore it every day, because it was my own clothes!"
It's like reminiscing about the time!
Speaking of this, Yan Wen's originally indifferent face actually had a happy smile!
