4. Whims

Professor Dong, father and daughter, and I sat around the dining table and had our last dinner of 2014.

This is the second time I have eaten at Professor Dong's house, and the first time I have come to his house as a tutor, I was left by Professor Dong and Dong Chunjiao to eat, which was a very unforgettable experience.

Tonight's meal, due to the unexpected change just now, Fang Lingzi, who has abandoned this family for nearly 20 years, suddenly knocked on the door, making Dong Chunjiao's emotions almost out of control, and he recovered under my comfort, and there was still a shadow in the process of eating, although their father and daughter deliberately avoided this sensitive topic, but it can be seen that this time bomb may detonate at any time.

Dong Chunjiao did not ask for his father's consent, prepared Moutai wine for him, and bought him a small cup, Dong Chunjiao himself, poured a glass of beer with a large cup, because I insisted on refusing, so he poured me a drink, in order to liven up the atmosphere, Dong Chunjiao said to the two of us, "Dad, you have worked hard in the past year, I will definitely get a good result in 2015, be admitted to a good university, fight for you, and make a toast for 2014." ”

Professor Dong had a kind smile on his face, and said to his baby daughter as gently as water, "Chunjiao, since we invite Teacher Jiang to be a guest and spend the New Year with us, we should first toast Teacher Jiang with a cup, since Teacher Jiang gave you tutoring, the progress is too great, and the achievements you have achieved are all the credit of Teacher Jiang, for your study, Teacher Jiang is not less worried, let us two toast together, may Teacher Jiang make progress in learning in the new year, and his career will flourish and become more beautiful, cheers." ”

After the crisp sound of slamming glasses, Professor Dong drank it all, Dong Chunjiao also drank her beer dry, I quickly persuaded and said, "Chunjiao, we just started, drink a little slower, there are so many dishes, I can spend the New Year with you today, I am very happy, this is the second time I have eaten at your house, and it is also the first New Year I have spent outside, thank you for giving me the warmth of my family, especially Chunjiao, the recent progress is particularly great, I wish you a good result in the college entrance examination in 2015, To fulfill your long-cherished wish, I wish Professor Dong all the best in his work and good health. ”

The three of us bumped glasses again.

Dong Chunjiao still mentioned that topic, "Dad, why have you been so long?" Is there anything else to talk about with someone like her? ”

After Professor Dong finished drinking, he gently put the wine glass on the table and said to his daughter, "Jiaojiao, let's not talk about this matter tonight, have a happy meal, you believe I will take care of this matter." ”

Dong Chunjiao still held on to it, and said a little disdainfully, "Dad, I've grown up, don't hide things from me anymore, you always treat me as a child, isn't it obvious that the two of you are doing this?" Don't be polite to people like her, if she comes to our house for no reason, I'll scold her. ”

Professor Dong's face changed a little, and he said to his daughter sternly, "I see that you dare, she is your mother after all, don't mention this matter again, let me deal with it, I won't let him mess up your life, the most important thing is that this year is the year of the college entrance examination, it is the crossroads of your life, don't affect your emotions for this matter, especially not affect your studies, if you are my good daughter, put an end to all interference, under the guidance of Teacher Jiang, get the best results, this is what you should do." ”

I said to Professor Dong, "Professor Dong, I don't think you have to worry, Chunjiao is still very potential in learning, after this period of tutoring, I found that Chunjiao not only loves to learn, but also a good child who is good at learning, the results of this section have fully explained the problem, there are still 6 months before the college entrance examination, and strive to do this half a year, in addition to Chinese and composition, I also help her tutor in other subjects, so that she can be a well-rounded child, I think she will definitely be admitted to an ideal university." ”

Although I diverted the topic, it seems that Professor Dong does not want to avoid this question, "Mr. Jiang, what you said is so right, our family Jiaojiao has studied every subject well, and now the Chinese and composition have improved, and other subjects also need to be taken seriously, the original foundation is better, I think after half a year of hard work, I will definitely be admitted to an ideal university." Jiaojiao, Dad no longer treats you as a child, you will now graduate from high school and enter the college campus, as a college student in the new era, you must have your own thoughts, have your ideals, our family affairs, I have never hidden from you, now there is an unexpected situation, I hope you maintain your concentration and are not disturbed, you have to believe that Dad has the ability to solve this problem. What I want to emphasize to you is that you must calm down and study hard, don't think about it anymore, and concentrate your energy on studying, can you do it? ”

Dong Chunjiao saw that her father was telling herself this problem so harshly, obviously treating herself as an adult, this kind of equal communication made Dong Chunjiao enjoy it very much, and her tone also softened, "Dad, don't worry, I will concentrate on studying, not disturbed by any factors, I believe in you, I have always been by your side, I will definitely get a good score in the exam, so that you can raise your eyebrows." ”

Professor Dong bought himself another glass of wine, picked up the glass and scalded it with Dong Chunjiao, "Jiaojiao, Dad believes in you, the two of us depend on each other, follow me for so many years, this time I completely believe in you, accompany Dad to have a glass of wine, don't say anything, it's all in the wine." The two men drank their wine as they spoke.

After Dong Chunjiao finished drinking, her face was already a little flushed, she looked at me with a beautiful face, smiled at me and said mysteriously, "Teacher Jiang, don't go back after eating, after you go back, you will also be alone in the dormitory, the two of us live together, and we can whisper at night." ”

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and I had a whimsical idea, so I didn't answer her question head-on, but said to Professor Dong, "Professor Dong, after eating, I want to take Dong Chunjiao out to play for a while, my college classmate has a company, and we are having an annual meeting tonight, and several of us in the same dormitory have gone, just now she asked me to go on the phone, I want to take Chunjiao with me, can you see it?" ”

Professor Dong said openly, "Today is the eve of the New Year, you should relax and relax, but unfortunately I have been drinking and can't drive you there, you two should take a taxi." ”

I looked at Dong Chunjiao with a challenging gaze and asked her opinion, "Miss, do you want to drink less?" Now that your dad has agreed, would you like to go out with me to open your eyes? Several of my best friends are already there, do you dare to follow me to meet them? ”

Dong Chunjiao hurriedly put the wine glass and wine aside, and said to me with provocative words, "Teacher Jiang, what am I afraid to go?" As long as you take me, I dare to break through the sea of swords, mountains and fires, but I'm afraid that you don't have that courage. ”

Seeing the two of us arguing with each other, Professor Dong drank another glass of Moutai wine and smiled at us.

On the last night of 2014, although the weather in Beijing is still in the severe cold, but the atmosphere of the festival has been very strong, on the wide streets, the lights are on, the colorful neon lights, the streets and alleys are dressed up with a unique flavor, it is already more than 8 o'clock in the evening, the street is still full of traffic, the people on the sidewalks are walking in a hurry, the major shopping malls and small shops are full of colorful flags, and a lot of various color newspapers are posted, which are nothing more than discounted information and means of promotion.

Dong Chunjiao and I, after eating, went downstairs, took a taxi on the nearby street, I briefly explained a few words to the driver, the taxi drove directly to the direction of Wukesong, about 20 minutes later, the taxi stopped in the courtyard of Shen Xiaofu's company, after the security guard stopped the taxi, I rolled down the window and greeted them, these security guards are basically very familiar with me.

After settling the bill for the taxi, I asked him for an invoice, and then got out of the car with Dong Chunjiao, and the security guard rushed to my side and whispered, "Mr. Jiang, you are here, Mr. Shen asked me to take you to the hall, please come with me." ”

I nodded at the security guard, then pulled Dong Chunjiao and followed the security guard into the hall.

Today's hall on the first floor has been rearranged, and a temporary stage has been set up in the center of the hall, with flower baskets around the stage, and a banner hanging above the stage that reads the 2014 annual meeting of a certain company. The whole stage is set up by a red curtain, I don't know where to invite the grass stage team on the stage, there are two strangely dressed two-person actors are staging witty sketches, witty and humorous language, witty vocabulary, constituting a burden of jokes, attracting people around to watch the show, a moment is a laugh, a moment is cheering and screaming, on and off the stage is a sea of joy, actors and the audience interact frequently, all the employees of Shen Xiaofu Company are holding an annual meeting here, The hall was packed with employees, and the atmosphere of the annual meeting was the most enthusiastic.

The security guard who led the way took us all the way to Shen Xiaofu, next to Shen Xiaofu stood Xu Pigeon, seeing us squeezing in from the outside, Shen Xiaofu hurriedly came to me and said to me loudly, "My aunt, your old man is finally here, I am about to take eight sedan chairs to carry you, and you don't answer the phone, what do you think?" ”

Although life is very noisy, the voice of the sketch actor echoed by the loudspeaker in the hall, mixed with the cheers and excitement of the audience, Shen Xiaofu's unique dantian atmosphere, still let me hear her pile of complaints, in this environment, in order to save a little effort, I pulled Dong Chunjiao to her side, leaned on her ear and said, "Second sister, didn't I come?" Because something is too late, I'll explain it to you later, can I do me a favor? ”

Shen Xiaofu nodded, "Just say anything, as long as I can do it, I will definitely help you." ”

I whispered in her ear, "Is there anyone else on your rose clay project?" This is one of my students, and he has a bit of a problem with his emotions today, so you can find a technician to accompany him to do that project, and then take a rose spa and let him vent his emotions well. ”

Shen Xiaofu called a supervisor beside him, "You go find a strong technician, lead this little girl to do the rose mud project, and then give her another spa, don't count the time for him anymore, until he is satisfied, when you do the rose mud project, use all your strength, let this little girl vent well, you must accompany him." ”

Shen Xiaofu turned to me and said, "Are you accompanying her to do it, or are you watching her do it?" ”

I still leaned in her ear and said, "I don't go with her, I'm not around, he may be more relaxed, and when he takes a trip to the rose spa, make a double room, and I can accompany her to the rose spa." ”

I turned to Dong Chunjiao and said, "Dong Chunjiao, you and this technician to do a project together, it is a full-body fighting project, the room is full of rose mud, you use rose mud as a weapon, and the technician has a competition, you just relax and enjoy, after sweating, the fragrance of rose mud will care for your skin, this project has been done by a few of us once, but it is stimulating, you can play to your heart's content." ”

Dong Chunjiao looked at me, and then asked me softly, "Won't you go with me?" ”

I smiled and said to her, "You and that technician, the two of you are also strangers, you can vent your emotions to your heart's content, you can exert enough strength in him, he will accompany you to have a good time, if I am around, you two will not be able to let go, especially you, will be very restrained, so I will not accompany you to do that project, you have no strength to fight, the technician will arrange for you to go to the rose spa, and I will accompany you to wash together at that time." ”

After hearing what I said, Dong Chunjiao nodded and followed the sturdy female technician.

Looking at their backs as they gradually walked away, Shen Xiaofu smiled at me and said, "It's too noisy here, let's accompany the eldest sister to find a place to drink tea, you can also drink coffee, you choose the same." ”

Xu Gezi said, "Then let's choose to drink tea." ”

Shen Xiaofu took me and Xu Gezi, together to a large tea room on the 2nd floor, with an area of more than 200 square meters, the tea room is a lush foliage plant, in this green eye print, an indoor pavilion, a mahogany table, a few Taishi chairs, the tea drinking environment as if in nature, and as if it is a paradise, let people have the desire to taste tea, the three of us found their own suitable position, sat down.

Shen Xiaofu asked Xu Gezi and me, "There is everything in the tea here, what do you want to drink?" ”

I looked at the two of them and chose the one I liked, "I don't care about the two of you, use a goblet to make me a cup of roses, so that I don't have to drink other tea, and I won't be able to sleep well for a while." ”

Xu Gezi echoed me and said, "Then the three of us are the same, how about it?" Shen Xiaofu. ”

Shen Xiaofu said, "Then drink roses." ”

The waiter quickly brought three goblets, put a few rosebuds in each of them, then rinsed them with boiling water, found three beautiful coasters, put them in front of us, and put the roses that had been brewed on the beautiful coasters.

Shen Xiaofu introduced, "Two, you look carefully, the roses that are given to you today are different from the usual rose buds, this is a new product we developed, these roses are quickly frozen after they are picked, they are veritable flowers, you see, when you just flushed, the rose buds are still budding, you see now, each rose is slowly blooming, after blooming, it will slowly float up from under the cup, and then float up from below. The rose will rotate in the cup, and you can see how he blooms from a bud into a beautiful flower. ”

Introduced by her like this, the two of us carefully observed the movement of the roses, sat on the Taishi chair to observe the changes of the roses, the perspective is parallel to our eyes, only to see that the roses slowly began to rotate, slowly rising from the bottom of the cup, spiraling rotation, from a budding bud, slowly in the temperature change of the hot water, the small bud began to bloom, just like a beautiful woman took a warm bath, the more upward the rotation rises, the more the flower opens, nearly a minute, The rosebud slowly turned into a beautiful rose, completely like a fresh elf, when it floated to the surface of the water, it has completely bloomed, and the color of the water has changed from a transparent colorless liquid, with the opening of the rose, as time goes by, it gradually begins to have a little red, and slowly turns into a yellow-brown, the golden liquid, wrapping the beautiful blooming roses, especially the process of the roses rotating and opening, so that your heart will slowly bloom from Huawei into flowers.

Xu Pigeon and I quietly enjoyed this process, with the gradual opening of the flowers, our thoughts were also released, what a beautiful idea, people can not only drink rose tea, but also let you enjoy the process of flowers blooming, as well as the spiraling posture, both like a fairy bathing, the rotating and charming posture, more like a flying girl, whether you see it or not, she not only releases the fragrant taste, showing her wonderful posture, but also blooms her beauty without hesitation.

With the bloom of roses, as the color of the tea in the cup becomes more and more beautiful, the crystal clear brown yellow makes you also have a wonderful feeling, it is so soft, this is not only a drink, but a concentrated stage, so that the rose fairy under the effect of this tea soup, evolved an open process, the spiraling trajectory shows his rich posture, revealing the mystery of nature, not only the light of the moment when it opens, but also this dynamic process, so that any girl will be moved when she sees it, Where is this feeling of drinking tea? It is clearly a process of exploring nature, making you full of curiosity, arousing your heartbeat, and unconsciously linking the beauty of the girl with the development of roses, which is the embodiment of beauty, the trajectory of beauty, and the hope of beauty.
