Chapter 6: The Dusty Past

Lincheng, also referred to as Lincheng, is a county-level city under the administration of Taizhou Government in Zhejiang Province, is a national historical and cultural city, and has been governed by Taizhou since the Tang Dynasty. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 infoTaizhou Mansion was the capital of Qifu in the Southern Song Dynasty, and Lincheng was its seat of governance, which was greatly improved in all aspects.

Lincheng has a large number of cultural relics and historic sites, known as "Xiao Zou Lu" and "cultural state" reputation, forming a famous city, celebrities, famous sites, famous "four" city. In the Song Dynasty, he was praised by Wen Tianxiang and said: "The country of sea and mountain fairies, meet the lonely peng, in the picture of Vientiane, in the world of thousand rocks and jade." ”

The language type of Lincheng dialect is Wu language, the representative dialect of Taizhou piece, retains more ancient Chinese pronunciation, literary words and sentence patterns, also known as Jiangdong dialect, Jiangnan dialect, Wu Yue language, from the Zhou Dynasty to the present has a history of more than 3,000 years, profound heritage, in the Celestial Empire distributed in today's Zhejiang Province, Shanghai, Huai'an and other regions, the population is about 100 million, is one of the seven major dialects of the Celestial Empire, there is an international language code.

Grandpa Jin followed his colleagues from the school to Lincheng, and the language and culture he wanted to learn was Lincheng dialect, which was Wu language, one of the seven languages of the Celestial Empire.

At that time, the cultural level and living conditions in the mountainous areas were generally not very good, and if you could speak some Mandarin and write some words, you were already a highly educated person.

And Grandpa Jin and another teacher were assigned to Xi'ao Village, which is located in the far corner.

Because at that time, Chinese was relatively good, and the level of culture and education was relatively good, only Grandpa Jin and another teacher were there, so Grandpa Jin had no objection to the allocation of the school.

Although the small mountain village is small, it is very warm, probably because the people here are very simple, and the enthusiasm for receiving visitors is very high, just the first day in the village, two teachers from a foreign country, enjoyed the warmest welcome in the village.

The enthusiasm from the warm welcome of the villagers, Grandpa Jin really felt it, and he couldn't help but feel that maybe living here would be a very beautiful thing.

At that time, the school in the village was actually only a relatively large, empty, and dilapidated brick house. Although it is dilapidated, it is better than nothing, and when Grandpa Kim first arrived in the village, he told the village chief that they would take the place of those teachers who went to Korea to shoulder the task of educating students.

The village chief had no objection to Grandpa Jin's request, and quickly agreed to him, and summoned the villagers, telling them that there would be new teachers to temporarily replace those teachers who had gone abroad.

Then the village chief found a family for each of the two guests who came from afar, and arranged for two people to live, after all, they were here to teach and educate people, not to wander, and it was impossible for two people to live outside.

However, the beginning of everything began because of this arrangement of the village chief.

When he was young, Grandpa Jin was very handsome, maybe there was no such adjective as handsome in that era, probably only good-looking and the like, and plus he came from abroad to teach children in this small village, and the family that was arranged to be in charge of Grandpa Jin's accommodation was like pie in the sky, and he couldn't dream of it.

At first, Grandpa Jin was not used to the careful hospitality of the master's family everywhere, as if the distance between them was widened, and after getting along for a while, the host's family did not have so many constraints on the approachable Grandpa Jin, and there were not so many worries about getting along.

The host has a daughter, sixteen years old, officially like a flower, and it is also the age when love is beginning to bloom, and Grandpa Jin's occasional unintentional actions towards her in daily life make this girl fall in love.

After staying in the small mountain village for nearly half a year, Grandpa Jin also began to have strange feelings for the girl, even if he knew that in his homeland, there were still wives and children waiting for him to go back, he couldn't suppress the feelings in his heart.

Finally, the two who had a crush on each other crossed the line and stole the forbidden fruit.

However, less than two months later, Grandpa Jin received a notification that the teachers of the school were about to return to China, and so did Grandpa Jin.

In the face of reluctance, Grandpa Jin once again experienced the pain of separation, but he had no choice, if he hadn't insisted on leaving his country and coming here, then he would not have experienced that pain again.

However, as if it were fate, the cause that he planted by himself finally tasted the fruit by himself.

After returning to China, when he saw his wife, he remembered what he had done in the Celestial Empire, and he couldn't help but feel a little weak and a little apprehensive in the face of his wife.

In the end, because of the torment of his conscience, he gave everything up and told his wife that he had cheated in the Celestial Empire.

In the face of her husband's self-blame, the wife burst into tears. As a wife, the last thing you want to know and feel is that your husband cheats.

She thought about divorce and wanted to go back to live alone with her son, but because of her husband's kneeling and retention, she finally relented.

It's not that she doesn't want to go, but she doesn't know what kind of identity she should continue to live in after divorce, at that time, there were very few divorced women, and not many people were willing to do this, because after divorce, it was not good for reputation, and people were terrible, if she divorced and went back, even if no one said it, I don't know how many people would chew their tongues behind their backs in private.

So she forgave her husband.

After that, it seemed that in order to punish himself, the husband quit his school job not long after returning from the Celestial Empire and concentrated on staying at home and accompanying his wife and son.

And after a long time, although he can be with his wife and son at home, but there is no economic condition, it is not a way to always be at home, after discussing with his wife, Grandpa Jin decided to open an optical store to make a living.

After a period of busyness, the Kim family's optical store opened, and it seemed that everything was starting to develop in the direction of a stable life.

But it didn't end there.

In that era, unmarried pregnancy, the crime was as heavy as **, if it wasn't for the fact that many things had changed after liberation, just the crime of unmarried pregnancy could be pulled to the pig cage.

Two months after Grandpa Jin left, the girl found out that she was pregnant, and both parents knew who the child was, but there was no way to hold her accountable because he had returned to China.

The parents' persuasion did not work, and they forced the persecution and were afraid of hurting their daughter, so they could only put their daughter under house arrest and did not allow her to go out, fearing that once the villagers outside knew that their daughter was pregnant before she got married, they would hurt their daughter.

Six months later, the girl gave birth to a child.

The child was born in the afternoon, and the loud cry did not hide from the villagers, and soon the villagers knew that the daughter of the Chen family had a child out of wedlock, and many old antiques that still had the customs before liberation strongly demanded that all the girls and children be drowned, or driven out of the village, so as not to embarrass the village.

Under the protection of her parents and the plea of the village chief, the girl was finally saved, but in exchange for her remaining in the village, most of her family's fields were taken away by the village, and even the two mountains belonging to her family were also taken away.

But the girl didn't care about these things, and neither did her parents, because they kept their daughter, and they kept their grandson, and that was enough.

The child originally planned to take Jin as his surname, but his parents were afraid that this surname would remind the villagers of the teacher who came here to teach but committed such a beastly thing, so they changed the child's surname to Chen, a single name and a filial piety character, which means that they hope that the child can be filial to his parents and his grandparents when he grows up, so that it will not be in vain for them to spend most of the family property to keep him.

Grandpa Kim, who is far away in South Korea, didn't know about these things, so there was a scene where his son questioned his father later.

"Your mother has known about this not long since I came back, and I can say that if she hadn't forgiven me in the end, you wouldn't be standing here questioning me now."

Grandpa Jin was in tears, this was the thing he felt most sorry for his wife in his life, so after his wife died, he would incense his wife every day, and asked his son to incense his mother every time he came back, which can be regarded as a disguised atonement.

After knowing what happened, Dad Jin had already let go of the idea of continuing to question his father, he knew that he couldn't be the master of this kind of thing, and he couldn't make the decision.

"Dad...... Maybe I shouldn't have asked that, the one in the Celestial Empire...... What are you going to do? Do you want to recognize it? ”

Grandpa Jin wiped his eyes, calmed down and said, "Since he already has his own family in the Celestial Empire, then there is no need for us to disturb his original life. And...... If his mother had told him about me, he would not have wanted to recognize me as a father. ”

Seeing that his father didn't have that idea, Dad Jin was also relieved. It's not that he is small-minded, but this matter will feel embarrassed no matter who it is, if it was fine when he was young, he could play with an extra brother, but now he is forty-seven or eighteen, at this time, if he suddenly has an extra brother, and is recognized by his father and brought to South Korea, it will not be good to change to anyone.

After solving the doubts in his heart, Jin's father said goodbye to Jin's mother and left home.

In the afternoon, Taeyeon's flight had also flown back to South Korea, and she was already on her way home, almost home.

"Taeyeon, why did you come back so soon?"

As soon as Taeyeon entered the door, she was frightened by Kim's mother, at this time, Kim's mother should have been in the optical store to help Kim's father watch the store together, and now she is at home, and she is waiting for her to talk as soon as she enters the house, can she not scare her.

"Oma, don't be scary, okay?"

Mama Kim smiled slightly, reached out to take the suitcase from Taeyeon's hand, and asked her again, "Didn't you say you were going to go for a few days?" Why did you come back so soon? ”

This is discussed by Jin's father and Jin's mother, the daughter went to the Celestial Empire this time probably inadvertently learned something from her grandfather, so she wanted to go to the Celestial Empire, if she didn't know that the person who looked a little like her father was her own uncle, then they didn't need to put these things on the bright side for Taeyeon to know, after all, this is not a glorious thing, if she knew that her grandfather was once so romantic, and actually left her an uncle in the Celestial Empire, then this child would definitely have a rejection of her grandfather.

"It wasn't much fun to go, so I walked around, and several of my classmates didn't want to continue the trip, so they came back. By the way, this is the rest of the money, and I didn't use much, so I used up some of the round-trip air tickets and accommodation. ”

After taking out the money that Kim's father gave her from the small bag and returning the money to her mother, Taeyeon felt a little more relaxed.

After taking the money that her daughter returned to herself, Jin's mother felt quite uncomfortable, her daughter had something to hide from herself, and she would rather lie than tell her parents, at least it proved that she was a failure as a mother in some aspects.

But she didn't bother much, and after collecting the money, she hurriedly urged Taeyeon to rest, after all, the time for a trip back and forth is not short, and Taeyeon must be tired.

Taeyeon was really tired, she took a bus from Lincheng to Yongcheng, and waited for a few hours at Yongcheng Airport, and she couldn't sleep on the plane because it was too noisy, and she was so tired that she couldn't stand when she got home, so when her mother asked her to rest, she left everything directly, couldn't wait to return to her room, jumped on the bed and fell asleep.

This night, Taeyeon slept very peacefully, just like the two nights she lived in Lincheng, she didn't dream about Chen Yu and Shi Yao anymore, it seems that this time it is worth going to the Celestial Empire, solving the problem that has been bothering her for two months.

After a few days, Taeyeon had recovered from her old haggard appearance, and she became energetic again, and she would not fall asleep after staring at the blackboard like she had done two months ago.

When I went to the academy to have a class with Jung Chun-won on Saturday, Jung Chun-won asked Taeyeon as soon as he saw her, "Taeyeon, I see that you look very good today, how are you?" Did you try what the teacher told you last time? ”

"Inside, thank you, teacher, that dream matter is solved, I haven't dreamed of that scene for a long time, and now I sleep well every day."

"Ha, then you can thank me so much, if it weren't for the idea I gave you, I guess you would still be in a state of flux. Well...... How can you thank me? By the way, there's just a restaurant in the neighborhood, so you can invite me there for a meal at noon. ”

"Teacher, are you embarrassed to let me have a treat? I'm only a junior high school student, and I only pay 3,000 won for lunch every day. ”

"Ah, I'm just asking you to treat me to a meal, not to kill you."

Taeyeon shrugged her shoulders and spread out her hands to make a gesture of indifference: "I have 3,000 with me, if you insist on asking me to invite you to dinner at noon, then I will sacrifice myself, buy a bread and a bottle of water, and give the teacher all the rest to eat, if it is not enough, you can only wronged the teacher and you will pay for it yourself." ”

Zheng Chunyuan couldn't cry or laugh, and gave up the idea of continuing to tease Taeyeon: "The teacher is just teasing you, I know that you don't have much money on you." At noon, the teacher invited you to dinner, as a reward, and then you have to learn from me. ”

"Inside."

After lunch, Kim Taeyeon walked out of the restaurant with a swollen belly, burping, and a satisfied expression, while Jung Soon-won followed behind with an empty wallet in his hand and a pained expression.

"Kim Taeyeon! I'll treat you to dinner again in the future! I definitely won't bring any more money! ”

"Teacher Anla, isn't it okay to eat enough?"

"You're full, I'm surprised! It's just a meal, and you ate 50,000 won from me! ”

Jung Soon-won's heart-rending expression made Taeyeon still blame herself a little in her heart, but it was only a little bit, and then it disappeared.

"It's the teacher who said it yourself, you can eat whatever you want, you don't have to save money for the teacher."

"Then you're eating too lavishly, aren't you? One meal, normally two or three dishes and a bowl of rice are enough! What about you? Three bowls of rice! Ten dishes! I've only eaten a little bit, and the rest is in your stomach! ”

Taeyeon shrunk her neck, and it seemed that her behavior had caused the displeasure of her teacher.

Sure enough, the next moment, Jung Soon-won's words pulled Taeyeon into an endless dark hell.

"No! You can't just leave it at that! From tomorrow, no! From the afternoon, you'll double your amount of study! If you don't give me a satisfactory score in this semester's exams! I'll put ten times as much pressure on you next semester! ”

“ohmygod! Teacher, you're taking revenge on me! ”

Zheng Chunyuan smiled treacherously: "How can this be called revenge?" This is called strict teachers and high apprentices, and it can also be called motivation when there is pressure. In short, I will do my best to teach you from the afternoon, if you don't study well, don't blame the teacher for being too strict with you next semester! ”

"You're retaliating!" If it weren't for her teacher standing in front of her, who would normally be able to make a little joke at will, Taeyeon would have wanted to kick him in the ass.

Taeyeon, who is helpless, can't resist if she wants to, because that's her teacher, and she will learn to sing under him in the future, if she really kicks it, then her fate is obvious, and she will definitely be tired like a dog.

"Hey, that's not revenge. It's called bullying the small! ”

Teacher! You don't have to say the truth so obviously, right? You must have been my nemesis in your last life!
