Chapter 227: Winter in Beiping
In the winter of Beiping, there is snow.
On the second day of Geng Chaozhong's arrival in Beiping, the sky began to snow heavily, and in the middle of winter in February, the cold wind was biting, even if he was separated by a layer of cotton jacket and a layer of leather clothing, he could still feel the chill to the bone. In such weather, almost no one wants to go out, and a few people on the street are also holding their hands in their sleeves and hurrying home.
But on the campus of Yenching University, it's a different story.
Dozens of male and female college students who stayed in school took advantage of the fact that they were wrapped in silver and had a snowball fight on the shore of Weiming Lake, although their faces were red from the cold, and their wool gloves had long been soaked with snow, but the expressions on their faces were like a fire in this winter.
"What young people are most afraid of is not cold, but loneliness."
Standing at the door of the library with his sleeves cuffed, is the old director of the library, Hong Renyuan, since the resignation of the successor Director Zhou, he had to become the director again, fortunately, the library affairs were organized by the talented young man in an orderly manner, and now he is really a lot more idle.
"Your words should be a big deal," another person next to him spoke, it was President Situ of Yenching University, he looked at the students frolicking in the distance, and showed a somewhat relieved smile on his face, "It's a good year, it's the time when the energy is strong, and the two old men of us are replaced, even if we want to flutter, we can't flutter!" ”
"Yes, young people just can't sit still, look at that Zhou Xuanhe, he doesn't cherish such a good position as the librarian, and says it's a waste of life, it's really unreasonable!" Director Hong somehow, he suddenly remembered the young man who hung up the crown and left, and there was a little more hatred in his mouth.
"I can't sit still," Curator Situ smiled, "Every day is to receive and distribute books, just a little bit of work, young people can withstand it for a year, you don't have to complain, everyone has their own ambitions, you can't stand the future of young people!" ”
"The future? In this world, where can I find a livelihood of 70 oceans a month? I see, he doesn't know how thick the sky is! Director Hong shook his head again and again.
Just when Director Hong shook his head, a small black dot suddenly appeared in the white distance, the black dot gradually expanded, and it didn't take long to become a tall figure, and then look forward, the figure's face gradually became clearer, Director Hong didn't care at first, but the more he looked at the figure, the more familiar it became, he quickly took off his glasses and sighed, wiped it on his clothes, put it on again, and immediately shouted:
"Zhou Xuanhe!"
"Director Hong, Principal Situ, don't come unharmed! I want to kill you! The young man in the distance was already yelling at the two old men.
"Humph!"
Curator Hong snorted coldly, turned around and left, Principal Situ grabbed him with a smile and began to greet Geng Chaozhong: "Mr. Zhou, since you don't say goodbye, why don't you come unharmed?" ”
The figure gradually approached, and it didn't take long for the smile on Geng Chaozhong's face to be seen clearly by the two of them, only to see that he was wearing a mink coat, a big cotton hat on his head, a crockpot in one hand, and an oiled paper bag in the other, and he was hurrying over.
"Two teachers, I bought good wine and good food, there is a brazier in the hall, there is nothing to do left and right, how about we drink Lao Bai dry pork head meat together?" Geng Chaozhong walked in front of the two with a smile.
"Don't go, go home and accompany your wife!" Curator Hong snorted, turned around and left.
Geng Chaozhong smiled, grabbed it, and said with a smile: "Director Hong is still angry with me? Today I am here to make amends, otherwise, you have a drink, I drink two, how about it? ”
Speaking of punishing wine, Director Hong finally turned around, and finally squeezed out a smile on his orange-peeled old face, "Two glasses are not good, but four glasses are needed!" ”
"Four glasses is too much, how can a student have this amount of alcohol, I'm afraid it won't take a few glasses to get drunk!" Geng Chaozhong's face showed embarrassment.
"No, it must be four glasses, otherwise you won't come to see me in the future!" Curator Hong straightened his face.
"Okay, four cups are four cups, the student sacrificed his life to accompany the gentleman today!" Geng Chaozhong agreed.
Director Hong was also stunned, he originally estimated that he would bargain and make a deal in the last three cups, but he didn't expect this young man to be arrogant, but after thinking about it, he immediately sneered:
"Don't think that it's just this jar of wine, there is something in the school storeroom, if I don't make you into a mess today, I won't believe Hong!"
"Where does the teacher want to go, punish for drinking, naturally until one of them can't drink, Principal Situ, do you say?" Geng Chaozhong turned his head to look at Principal Situ.
"Of course, if you don't get drunk, you won't go home! But excluding me, I still have something to do at noon today, and I can't drink too much. Principal Situ smiled.
The three of them laughed for a while, and then turned around and went into the library, but to Geng Chaozhong's surprise, there were still a lot of students in the library, and after thinking about it, they realized that the transportation in this Republic of China is inconvenient and the army is in chaos, and many students from other places often do not go home during the New Year, so they can see so many people.
However, Geng Chaozhong didn't think too much, entered the curator's office, pried open the wine jar, spread out the snacks, the three of you start to fight the wine with a cup of you, and after a while, a jar of wine has bottomed out, calculate the amount, but Geng Chaozhong did most of it alone.
Principal Situ looked at Geng Chaozhong twice, and found that this guy was not drunk, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, sighed twice "Awesome", and then left, leaving only Geng Chaozhong and Director Hong in the office.
"Curator, how is it, can you still fight?" Geng Chaozhong looked at Director Hong with a smile.
Director Hong's face was already flushed, although he only drank two taels, but it was difficult to drink in a hurry, at this time he was already a little drunk, and the young man opposite obviously did not have any signs of drunkenness, remembering that he had just praised Haikou, he couldn't help but say angrily:
"Drink, why don't you drink?!"
"Although Niulanshan is good, don't be greedy!"
Geng Chaozhong smiled, drank the last glass of wine, looked at Director Hong, and said sincerely:
"Curator, the students don't say goodbye, it's really a last resort, here is a formal apology to you, it's okay in the future, the students will still come to visit you often."
"Mean, you'll still be in Peking in the future?" Director Hong was noncommittal and accepted Geng Chaozhong's apology.
"Yes, one of my classmates has set up an 'Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries' in Beiping, and I plan to do something there." Geng Chaozhong said.
"'Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries'? What is this? Director Hong was stunned.
"Dealing with foreigners is half a government agency, and the most important thing is that I don't have to stay there every day, and I'm used to being free and not too constrained, so I quit my job in the library." Geng Chaozhong briefly explained.
"Whatever, everyone has their own ambitions, over the years, there have been a lot of students under my hands, how can I really care about you?" Curator Hong sighed, and then as if he remembered something, he said:
"By the way, how many times has the daughter of Director Zhao's family come to look for you, why don't you go and find someone?"
