Chapter 9: History and the Present

Professor Dai Yushu's fountain pen is really heartbreaking, full of the charm of years and bonuses. Qin Qing couldn't help but search on the Internet for a few days, and found that it turned out to be an antique fountain pen (of course it is an antique today), made in Germany, and if you want to buy one, you must be prepared to go bankrupt (of course, it is her property), but there are Xibei goods with similar appearances, no matter how you look at them, Xibei goods are not genuine. Qin Qing wondered if it was okay not to have a diamond ring and an antique fountain pen when you got married?

The next night, she fell asleep with a sense of anticipation, and sure enough, she dreamed of Professor Dai again, and Professor Dai was really talking about Xu Ermao's family that day.

"Any folklore has its own soil for survival, which means that only when the people have this need, the legend has a chance to take root." Professor Dai wore a brown, black and bright red checkered horse jacket today, and a pocket watch, and a thin gold chain hanging from his tie. The horse clip can really play the role of a men's bra, it sets off Professor Dai extraordinarily straight, and even the belly looks small.

"Let's jump out of the little wife's request for life to see the reaction of the Xu family's parents, what do you see?"

Qin Qing was in the audience, and the answer immediately popped up in his heart: his heart is weak!

After some students answered, Professor Dai clapped his hands, "That's right." They have a ghost in their hearts! Let's take a look at what Xu Ermao's parents are sorry for in the matter of their little wife. Let's talk about Xu Ermao's father first, he walked the streets and alleys for many years as an adult, took a small flat shoulder, brought all kinds of small groceries, and earned a hard-earned money. ā€

"Is his life bitter? Bitter. He is a true portrayal of 80 percent of the people in our country, who work hard, may not earn enough money to make ends meet, and may not be able to support their wives and children. But didn't he pursue it? Isn't he looking forward to a good life? Live in a big house, drive a big car, and raise a beautiful aunt and wife. ā€

The classroom burst into laughter.

Professor Dai also smiled, "Who doesn't envy a life like Master Kuo on the beach?" ā€

There are students at the bottom shouting: "We are not envious! ā€

Professor Dai smiled, "You are people with ideals, and people with ideals will never feel lonely, because there are countless people who walk with us on our way!" ā€

There was a round of applause from the podium.

"Let's go back to Xu Ermao's father's life. Of course he has pursuits, although it is not so easy to live in a big house and drive a big car for a while, but there is a young and beautiful aunt wife, but he has done it. ā€

There was a sigh in the classroom.

Professor Dai's expression also became heavier, "He was wandering around the town, hey, he ran into a troupe." The troupe is good, there are many people who come to see the play, dragging the family with the mouth, the big girl and the little daughter-in-law. As soon as the troupe started singing, the door was full of people selling melon seeds, peanuts and candy. Xu Ermao should have a symbiotic relationship with the troupe, and he is likely to have a long-term cooperation with this troupe, maybe for several years. ā€

Let's assume this: Xu Ermao has known this troupe for a long time, and may have known the girl who was abducted by him for a long time, and knows everything about her being abducted to the troupe or being sold to the troupe. In the early years, he may not have had much interest in this girl, maybe this girl has not grown up, maybe he has not had this bad heart at that time. But one day, on a whim, he said something to this girl: Do you remember your hometown? I still remember the Shandong dialect you spoke when you first arrived. ā€

"The girl may have forgotten her hometown for a long time, and her memories of her hometown have been blurred. She definitely didn't have a good life in the troupe. The troupe buys children, not to do good deeds, but to allow the troupe to continue. So they will buy boys and girls who are beautiful and have beautiful figures, buy them from a young age, and then take the children away, far from home. After a long time, children no longer remember their parents, they no longer remember their hometown, they can't even speak their hometown, and they can't leave. ā€

"When the girl was a child, she had to help with the work, and she had to practice every day, practicing Sanjiu in winter and Sanfu in summer. In addition to the characters in the troupe who can sing on stage, more of them can't even mix in the roles, and if they can't become popular, life will be even more difficult. So some theater troupes will also do some pimping business. ā€

"That's how a girl's life is. When she was a child, she had to get up before dawn every day to work, and she was beaten and tired every day, and she might not be able to fill her stomach. When she grows up, what awaits her may be the day when she sells her body. In such a life, she inevitably misses her parents, although she may not remember them. But she will pin her hopes on her parents, as if she is still the same little girl, as long as she finds her home, she can continue her previous life. ā€

"At this time, it is not difficult to imagine that Xu Ermao can trick her back."

"Does Xu Ermao really plan to help her find her parents? I don't think so. ā€

Professor Dai said deeply.

"Let's take a look at Xu Ermao's mother again. She was a simple rural woman and had a son. Let's look at it this way, Xu Ermao's father can't come back a few times a year, and is the money he gets back each time really enough for the expenses of this mother and son? Obviously not enough. Xu Ermao's family has land, so who is the one who farms? can only be Xu Ermao's mother. She worked all year round facing the loess and turning her back to the sky, but her husband brought back a delicate little wife who could only sing. ā€

Professor Dai pinched an orchid finger and made a beautiful appearance, with one hand on his cheeks, two feet on the wrong step, looking up at the moon! There was a lot of laughter from below.

"You say, can this big wife spare Xu Ermao's father? Can you spare that little wife? ā€

"We don't have a lot of evidence on this. The Xu family is an ordinary farmhouse, except for the hall is the stove room, and Xu Ermao said that he has never seen his little mother enter the hall, let's assume where this girl lives? ā€

Qin Qing thought: Kitchen? That is, living in the stove room?

A boy raised his hand and said, "Teacher, it's a firewood room!" ā€

Professor Dai pointed at him curiously and said, "You answer!" ā€

"I want to know, there is food in the stove! Can the eldest wife let the younger wife live in a place where there is a rice bowl and a noodle tank and bacon is still hanging on the beams? The boy spread his hands and asked a rhetorical question.

Professor Dai smiled: "Makes sense. Well, you know a lot. ā€

Laughing again, the boy was patted on the head by several people, and his hair was messy.

"Let's see, Xu Ermao's mother has to work in the field, will the little wife not use it?"

The students at the bottom replied in unison, "No!" ā€

"So," said Professor Dai, "on the premise that we assumed that this girl would not be beaten and bullied, she ran out of the troupe, and her life did not get any better. He paused suddenly, and first asked the students below: "Who hasn't done farm work raise their hands!" ā€

Seven or eight people raised their hands, and Professor Dai said regretfully: "Then you may not understand, when I build yƬ autumn harvest, you and your classmates go back to your hometown to experience it." Farm work is very, very, very hard! ā€

In fact, the girl's situation may have gotten worse. Because in the troupe, she has many, many of her kind; But in Xujiatun, she is the only outlier. ā€

"And the days of heterogeneity in the group are very difficult."

Walking on the boulevard of the school, Qin Qing was a little silent.

"What's wrong? How is it listless? Si Yuhan asked her.

"Nothing." Qin Qing glanced at the book in his hand and felt that this course was really incomprehensible, "What is the school doing?" Is this lesson meaningful? ā€

It's only been two weeks since the start of school, and there are a lot of classes that are not familiar to us, Qin Qing mostly looked at the class schedule to find out what class it was before class, and it turned out that it may be because there are more classes arranged this semester, and the class schedule is divided into single and bi-weekly, and this week is a bi-week, so this afternoon's class is different from last week!

It's a dead dad.

When Qin Qing told Si Yuhan, she didn't know, "What? Aren't you going to an audio-visual classroom? ā€

No.

This lesson is also very strange, the textbook is made up by the school itself, and the name is very intuitive and atmospheric, so it's called.

Qin Qing's school is called Shanyu University, so this class is about the history of the school.

………………………………

So Qin Qing also brought it, and he planned to do something else when the time came.

The place where they take the class is on the North Campus, because I heard that this course is new, take their second grade to practice their hands, and if the effect is good, it will be implemented to the whole school, so as to cultivate the sense of honor and belonging of the students of this school.

Walking into the North Campus, there are fewer people on the road, because most of this area has been converted into student dormitories, there are no classrooms, and of course there are no people in class time now.

Seeing Professor Shi coming out of a building from a distance, Qin Qing hesitated to say hello, and as soon as he hesitated, Professor Shi walked away.

…… The professor's body is really tough, and there is definitely no arthritis.

"Look at that, it's the professor's building who hanged himself." Si Yuhan suddenly poked her.

The two of you, you look at me, I look at you, and they ran over as soon as they were curious.

This building is a small two-story building, and after walking around it, Qin Qing found that this building was quite special. It's not that the windows on the first floor are sealed, but that on the roof behind it, there is a protruding eaves of the hut, which makes it easy to see at a glance that there should be a small attic there. On the other side, it's as if something has been stripped off the wall. The whole building really looks better to tear down and rebuild.

"It's probably not easy to push." After coming out, she talked to Si Yuhan about why she didn't push the abandoned building, Si Yuhan said, "It is a road on one side, and there is a building on the other side that is built close to it, pushing this building may hurt that building." ā€

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ This building is really wonderful. Qin Qing said.

In this class, there are not too many deserters, Qin Qing glanced before sitting down, and found that there were not a few people who took out their mobile phones as soon as they sat down, and there were girls who brought handicrafts to do it, and the table was full of dazzling displays, causing a burst of cute exclamations.

The teacher of this class was a female teacher, and as soon as she came up, she said, "I am engaged in administration, and I haven't found a suitable professor for this course, so I will take you first." ā€

Everyone was even more depressed, and there was a buzz below.

The female teacher was very aware of the situation, and directly gave them a slideshow, "Did you bring all the books sent to you?" Turn the first page. ā€

I didn't want to go to class anymore, but everyone obediently opened the book. The textbooks are very good-looking, with a lot of full-color pages, and there are more people reading books now.

The female teacher said: "Actually, our Shanyu has a very long history, and it was established as early as the Beiyang warlords, but it was only a academy at that time, and it changed a lot of names. At that time, it was a very risky thing to run a school, and in order to gain support, our school used to go around asking for words and names. The female teacher is also very witty, "For example, when the Duan family came to power, we held the gold and went over, begging the Duan family to write a sub-word and give it a name; After a while, another one came to the stage, so we took off the name written by the Duan family and went to find this one to name it. ā€

Qin Qing laughed with everyone.

The female teacher smiled and said, "At that time, this was always called a trend of inflammation and a grass on the wall, but from the current point of view, the leaders of our school were full of wisdom at that time, and they preserved the flame of revolution!" Only then did we have today's Sugiyu University! ā€

Everyone understands it, so there should be applause here.

At this time, the screen began to change photos frame by frame, all of which were old photos of the old school building, with corresponding prompters, banners, ribbon-cutting people and guests when taking pictures, and behind them were buildings. At this time, a photo caused everyone to scream, because it was obviously hung with the Japanese flag, and the building behind it was a school building that looked very similar to the Japanese manga, with a clock hanging in the center of the roof, and the one in the middle who wore round glasses and cut a mustache was obviously a head lower than the person next to him, and it also looked like a Japanese.

"! The principal at that time was really good! A boy muttered, "It's really unbearable!" ā€

"At that time, there were many returned international students and professors in our school, who learned advanced cultural knowledge abroad, and when they heard the call of the motherland, they left behind and rushed back thousands of miles, and many of them were local or nearby villages, and their hometowns, hometowns or parents took root here, and they came back to build their hometowns."

"In order to attract them, but also to make the professors better, many buildings in the school have absorbed the opinions of the professors."

At this time, another beautiful photo caught the attention of the whole classroom.

It was a beautiful red brick building with an English style, with two floors and a small attic window at the top. The porches, steps, and windows are white, and on the east side there is a beautiful large circular balcony with green ivy wrapped around the balcony pillars, and white gauze curtains gently raised in the breeze.

Outside the small building is an endless meadow, and a row of newly planted pine trees can be seen in the distance.

"It's so beautiful! This can be played directly as Shakespeare! Qin Qing and Si Yuhan clasped their hands tightly excitedly!

"This must be a professor who has returned from studying in the UK!"

Everyone couldn't help but talk about it.

"It would be nice if our school's current teaching building should be so beautiful!"

"I envy the people at that time!"

The person who said this was stunned, "SB, are you?" ā€

The man also realized that he had said the wrong thing, and said, "Just talk......

Until the end of class, Qin Qing remembered the history of the school most vividly about the small building, which was too romantic.

When passing by the two-story building again, Qin Qing suddenly felt a little familiar.

She stared suspiciously at the building, then suddenly turned to the side where the skin had been stripped off.

"What are you doing?" Si Yuhan chased after him.

"This is the English-style villa in the photo!" Qin Qing pointed to the building and shouted, "Here!" It was the balcony that was stripped off! ā€

Si Yuhan was stunned for a moment, and felt that the more he looked at it, the more he looked at it, the more similar it became.

Qin Qing flipped through the textbook and found the photo of this building at that time, turned to the front, and affirmed: "This is the building." You see, although the windows are nailed up and the doors are torn down, the number of windows is right, and it is a symmetrical architectural pattern. "The most obvious feature of English architecture.

Si Yuhan also came over to take a look, and sure enough, standing on the front of the building, he could see it more clearly, with the door as the center, all the windows were symmetrical.

Looking at this unrecognizable building, Si Yuhan came out and said: "...... Tyrannical creatures. ā€
