The capital, at night.

It was past eleven o'clock when I arrived at the entrance of the vegetable market.

Cold winds are blowing through the streets, and the temperature here is colder than in the south.

Zhang Ye entered the community of his parents' house in the dark, looked upstairs and looked, the lights were still on at home, his parents obviously didn't sleep, they were probably waiting for him, Zhang Ye was also like an arrow in an instant, stepped into the unit building, trotted up the stairs, and hummed the tune of "I Wish People Were Long".

Knock knock.

Knock on the door and it opens quickly.

"Dad, Mom. Zhang Ye smiled: "Happy New Year's Day." ”

The mother pulled her son into the house, "Come in and say, is it cold outside?"

Zhang Ye put down his bag and took off his coat, "It's okay, hey, it's warm enough at home, come to the heating, right?"

"What day is this, the heating will be in advance on the 12th. My mother squinted and said, "It's still Beijing, okay? There's no heating in Shanghai." ”

Zhang Ye felt deeply, "Yes, I can only turn on the air conditioner over there, I'm really not used to turning it on night after night, it's not the same as the natural heat of the heating, I can't feel energetic, and it's still wet and cold outside, and I get goosebumps all over my body, hey, don't mention it." "When I got home, Zhang Ye was good at everything, and everything was pleasing to the eye, "Also, unless the sun is directly shining, your mother can't dry the clothes there, and when it dries, it feels like there is a damp smell on it, the air is too humid, and you have to put it in the dryer after washing the clothes, which is troublesome." ”

The mother estimated that she was also thinking about her son, "Then don't go." ”

Zhang Ye said with a smile: "I have to go back after the latest, and there is still work waiting for me, but eighty percent of this year I have to live with my family, and I can stay for many days." ”

Dad got up from the couch and said, "Have you eaten?"

"I filled up the plane a bit, and I'm still hungry. Zhang Ye said.

Dad commanded: "You pour a cup of hot water for the child and heat up the leftovers." ”

My mother snorted, glared and said, "Why don't you still instruct me?" ”

Dad raised his eyes and said, "You have a hot meal, let's talk about his work, you don't understand this." ”

"It's like you know, hum, our son is now a big star, a famous host, and he still uses your blind ideas?"

During dinner, his parents asked him how his work was.

Zhang Ye didn't want to talk about his work, and he was afraid that the old couple would worry, so he avoided the important and casually talked about it, and finally changed the topic and said, "Where are you going to spend New Year's Day tomorrow?"

Mom picked up vegetables for him, and said: "Your grandmother's house, it's over at noon today, and you didn't go, when the time comes, you go over to see it yourself, tomorrow is your grandma's house, but it's set to celebrate the holiday with our family, don't sleep lazy, get up early tomorrow to help me buy vegetables and cook, and then the people over there in my house will have to come over, big and small, dozens of people, this is not a small workload." ”

Zhang Ye lied, "I can't get up." ”

Mom couldn't help but pat him on the head, "You're lazy!"

Dad said: "Xiao Ye has been busy with other places for so long, let him rest, and finally rest for a few days." ”

"You said it lightly, when the time comes, you will buy vegetables and you cook, and you won't help!" Mom rolled her eyes, "I'm a lazy guy with you two guys, I've been pouring blood mold for eight lifetimes!"

The meal was finished.

Zhang Ye took the initiative to pick up the dishes and brush the dishes.

"Xiao Ye, I slept with your dad first. The old mother yawned and said, "Huh, Ming'er still has to fight for a day, and it's not easy to spend a holiday." ”

Dad also stretched and went to the bathroom to wash up.

Zhang Ye remembered one thing at this time, turned around and said, "Dad, Mom, you two wait for a while, just a few minutes, I'll tell you two something." ”

Dad wondered, "What's the matter?"

"There's a fart, I'm sleepy. Mom pouted.

Zhang Ye poured the spirit and said: "On the plane today, I met a person named Wu Zeqing, and she said that she was ......."

Before he could finish speaking, Mom and Dad interrupted him.

"Wu Zeqing, the one from Peking University?" the mother was stunned.

Dad obviously knew about her, "That vice president of Peking University?"

Zhang Ye blinked and said, "You know?"

Dad said: "I don't know what she looks like, but I know that she is a woman, she seems to be quite beautiful, she is the youngest principal of a famous school, but she is not from the teacher system, she is not a professional scholar, but a civil servant, who was parachuted from the Ministry of Education to Peking University, didn't she be mentioned on TV? Although she is an official from a civil servant, her literary attainments seem to be quite high, and she has published many works, and she said on TV that she is a famous calligrapher, right? This person is a very prestigious person in the education world. ”

The mother nodded and asked her son, "Have you met her?"

Zhang Ye smiled and said: "It's not just that we met, we talked for a long time on the plane, and after getting off the plane, she suddenly invited me to teach at Peking University." ”

Dad froze, "Huh?"

My mother was also stunned: "Go to Peking University, what do you want to teach?"

Zhang Ye said: "In the Chinese department, I don't know what to teach, but if I want to teach, it must be literature, poetry or novels or history, and I won't do anything else." ”

Mom said excitedly: "Really let you go?"

Zhang Ye spread his hands, "Really, I've been officially invited." ”

Dad was also excited, "How did Peking University find you?"

"I listened to President Wu's meaning, it seems that there is a vacancy in the relevant courses of Peking University, anyway, I feel that this is the meaning, so let me go to the top, count as a lecturer who is invited to take a temporary position, I can choose the time to teach the course at will, and it will not delay my main job, President Wu also promised me that if the results are good and the students are more satisfied, there is also the title of associate professor of Peking University can be considered for me, of course, another meaning is that if I don't teach well, then I have to roll up and get out. ”

Mom hurriedly said, "Then how did you answer?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, I haven't replied, Principal Wu asked me to give her an answer by tomorrow, so I want to ask you both. Zhang Ye said.

My mother was anxious at the time, and slapped the table suddenly, "Ask for a hammer! Hurry up! I'll tell you that if you don't go, I won't have your son!"

Zhang Ye: "......"

Damn!

Who knew that my father was actually on the same front with my mother this time, "Son, you have to listen to the two of us, go, you have to go! What kind of place is that in Peking University! It is a world-class university!" I know your goal is to be a star, but these two do not conflict, and on the contrary, it will be of great help to you, no matter how good your star is, no matter how popular you are, that popularity is only floating on the surface, but if you hang a title of associate professor of Peking University, the meaning is different, this is the most authoritative affirmation of you academically, with this confidence, your popularity will be more solid, and it can even be regarded as an official recognition, you used to write poems and articles, don't many people in the association think you can't do it? If you become an associate professor or an associate professor at Peking University, and you have the backing of this authority that can no longer be authoritative, you will not be able to weigh it when anyone troubles you in the future? In terms of your artistic attainments, it is estimated that no one will question you anymore. ”

That's true.

Literature and art, in many cases, do not pay attention to the public, nor do they pay attention to the audience, but more about the recognition and qualifications in the industry.

It's vulgar and unreasonable.

But there is no way, this is the current situation in the country.

Zhang Ye listened, but he was still worried, "What if I can't teach it well?"

Dad said: "If you can't teach well, it's not good to teach, you can't let go of this opportunity." The reason why he is so enthusiastic about persuasion is mainly that he attaches more importance to his son's development in literature, the older generation, the concept is more traditional, where did they have any stars when they were children, they were all called plays, and they couldn't get on the stage, although this concept was slowly reversing and changing later, but for their generation, the halo of Peking University is more shining, or the title of professor is more glorious, and their son is quite a star They don't object, but wouldn't it be better if they could have both?

Seeing that her son was still hesitating, her mother couldn't help but say: "You are not afraid to sabotage on the live broadcast, you don't care if you scold the leader and scold the radio and television, just be a lecturer, you are afraid of a fart!"

Zhang Ye hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded heavily, and decided, "Okay, I'll listen to you two, I'm going!

What are you worried about?

Let's talk about it if it's really hard to teach!

And he has so much knowledge of his world in his head, how can he mislead people's children!

After making up his mind, Zhang Ye is no longer confused and entangled, lecturer at Peking University, this is a too awesome aura, and it is also an attempt and challenge, Zhang Ye feels that he can complete it, and he has nothing to do in the half month since he returns to Beijing, since the goal is to be the first in the world in popularity, and his conditions in all aspects are not very good, so he has to fight harder, Zhang Ye can't delay for a moment, so that he can hope to create a miracle and achieve his ideals!

"Then go and talk to Principal Wu!" his mother was more anxious than him, urging: "In case someone else chooses, hurry up!"

Zhang Ye looked at his watch, "It's twelve o'clock, are people sleeping?"

Dad came up with an idea: "You can send a text message, say hello to the New Year, and then mention by the way, if she sleeps, she can see it tomorrow morning." ”

Zhang Ye snorted, accepted his parents' advice, and it wouldn't work if he didn't accept it, his parents' eyes were wide, if he didn't obey, the old couple would probably be able to beat him to death!

So he sent a message to Wu Zeqing.

wrote: Principal Wu, Happy New Year's Day, I am afraid that you will send you a text message when you sleep, well, I accepted your invitation, and I am honored to contribute to the cause of education.

Soon, the other party replied.

Wu Zeqing: Thank you, you also have a happy New Year's Day, you can think about it, you can come to Peking University directly at 9 o'clock in the morning on January 2 to find me, the course arrangement and teaching contract, we will talk about it at that time.

Zhang Ye said: Okay, you rest early.

Wu Zeqing said: Bring a good child to your parents too.

……

The text message exchange ends.

Zhang Ye gave his mobile phone to his parents, "Look at it." ”

When my dad saw it, he was very happy, "Good! good!"

My mother was so happy that she couldn't keep her mouth shut, "Hahaha, my son is still promising! I'm going to teach at Peking University!

Zhang Ye was not as happy as his parents, he took back his mobile phone indifferently, then rolled up his sleeves and continued to wash the dishes, "You two go to bed first, it's not early." ”

My mother suddenly shouted, "You put it down for me!"

"Huh?" Zhang Ye tilted his head sideways in a daze, and the bowl in his hand almost fell, "What are you doing?

Mom immediately squeezed him away, grabbed the dishes and chopsticks with a smile, "Mom, you go to rest." ”

"No, I'm halfway there. Zhang Ye went up to grab it, "You guys sleep." ”

The old mother didn't do it, "If you say I'm coming, I'll come, don't rob it, haha, my son is now a lecturer at Peking University, where can I let my son wash the dishes!" While brushing the dishes, the mother hummed the Peking Opera and said to herself: "Tomorrow I can brag to the neighbors again! When my son was disqualified from broadcasting and hosting by radio and television, there were still people in the gang who muttered behind my back that my son is finished, no? Ha! Look at me this time I will not kill them! My son can be a lecturer at Peking University! Can they do it? Ming'er, I'll tell sù sù why their flowers are so red!"
