After completing the online contract with Fangzhou College, a few days later, Meng Yihong called Wu Dao and told him to go to the central campus of Fangzhou University to sign a paper contract, and call her after arriving at the school.

Early the next morning, Wu Dao took a train to Fangzhou. The train would pass through Qicheng County on the way, but he didn't go home. At ten o'clock in the morning, the train arrived at Fangzhou Station, and then he took the bus for more than 20 minutes before finally arriving at the central campus of Fangzhou University.

Walking out of the bus, Wu Dao found that although Fangzhou College has been established for three years, and the four big characters "Fangzhou College" are also written at the school gate, the bus stop is still written on Fangzhou Normal College, which seems to tell people that although Fangzhou College is a merger of multiple schools, its core is Fangzhou Normal College.

The gates of Fangzhou College face west. Walking through the gate, Wu Dao found that although this school is one of the worst universities in the province, the campus is full of green trees, and the two sides of the central road are planted with cherry trees.

Wu Dao dialed Meng Yihong's phone as he walked:

"Teacher Meng, I have already arrived at the central campus of Fangzhou University, where can I find you?"

"Which doorway are you in?" Meng Yihong said.

"It should be the West Gate, and Fangzhou College is written on the door."

"That's the West Gate, and it's the main entrance of the college. You come in through the door and keep walking forward, and at the end of the road you will see a square and library, and there is a building on the south side of the square, which is the Chinese Department, and I will wait for you downstairs. ”

"Okay."

According to Meng Yihong's words, Wu Dao walked straight forward after entering the door, and he saw that there were symmetrical rows of buildings of different shapes on both sides of the road, with the names of each department written on them. A few minutes later, he came to a small square, opposite which was a ten-story building, the tallest building on campus, with the word "library" written on it. There is a six-story building on the north and south sides of the square, and the south building has the words "Chinese Department" written on the outside. Wu Dao looked in the direction of the Chinese Department, and there were people coming and going at the door of the building, and a woman wearing glasses and a black dress stood there still, as if waiting for someone. He immediately thought that maybe that woman was Meng Yihong.

Wu Dao walked towards the Chinese Department teaching building, and when he reached the door of the building, the woman was still there without moving. He looked at her carefully, she had braids on her head, although she was middle-aged, her figure was still very good, the fly in the ointment was that she seemed to be a little hunchbacked, her appearance was not pretty, but her face was ruddy, and she was very kind-hearted, and she was a very kind person at first glance. Tian Mowen only told Wu Dao that Meng Yihong was his junior sister, and did not say what she looked like and how old she was, Wu Dao thought that since Tian Mowen was almost fifty years old, Meng Yihong was his junior sister, and the age should be close to fifty years old, and the middle-aged woman at the door of the Chinese Department was probably not Meng Yihong. When the middle-aged woman saw Wu Dao, she stepped forward and said:

"Are you Wu Dao?"

"I'm Wu Dao, did Mr. Meng ask you to pick me up?" Wu Dao said.

"I'm here to pick you up, but I didn't ask me to come because my surname is Meng."

"You are Teacher Meng Yihong?"

"Why, I'm not like it? What do you think Meng Yihong should look like? ”

Wu Dao remembered that Meng Yihong's voice on the phone and the voice of the woman in front of him seemed to be indeed the same person, so he said:

"Teacher Meng, I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you. I am a student of Teacher Tian Mowen, Teacher Tian is almost fifty years old now, I thought, Teacher Meng is his junior sister, and the age should be about the same, but looking at you, it looks like you are in your thirties, at most in your early forties, I didn't expect Teacher Meng to be so young. ”

"I'm forty-three. Senior Brother Tian and I, that is, your mentor Tian Mo asked the teacher, we are a mentor, but not a one-year, when I was a graduate student, he was already studying for a doctorate, and we were several years apart. However, you said that I was young, and I was still very happy to hear it. ”

"I see, Mr. Tian didn't tell me this."

"Those who don't know are not to blame."

Wu Dao looked at Meng Yihong in front of him again, and found that although her skin was still very good and she couldn't see wrinkles, she already had some gray hair on her head, which was a portrayal of age.

"I am from Fangzhou, and after graduating from graduate school, I joined the work and went to Fangzhou Normal College. Only after graduating with a doctorate can I work at a major university like Jeju University, and Brother Tian can go, but I am not qualified to go. This year, the department was looking for a teacher majoring in foreign literature, and I thought that Brother Tian was working as a graduate tutor at Jeju University, so I called him and asked him. Meng Yihong said again.

"Speaking of which, I am still the same township as Mr. Meng, I am also from Fangzhou, and my hometown is from Qicheng County. And my cousin also went to this school, majoring in English. Where is Mr. Meng from Fangzhou? ”

"My home is from Fangcheng District. I really didn't expect that we would be fellow villagers. It's also fate to be able to come to a place to work. Senior Brother Tian told me that you failed the doctoral examination and only then did you look for a job. Now there are more and more graduate students year by year, and this year Fangzhou University will have more graduate students, and in two years, I am afraid that only doctors will be able to come in. In the past two years, Fangzhou College has been expanding its scale and will be changed to Fangzhou University. If you want to work here first, if you want to get a doctorate, you can still study on the job, and then you will become famous, and it is not impossible to change universities to teach. There are too many cases where talents from poor schools are poached by key universities. ”

"I know the situation of graduate employment now, it is not difficult to find a job, but it is very difficult to enter the university as a teacher. My dream job is to be a university teacher, Mr. Meng, thank you. ”

"No thanks, speaking of which, we are all from the same lineage, I am your elder, and it is right to take care of the younger generation. Besides, Senior Brother Tian is the senior brother of our master, I know his ability, and his students must not be bad. I will take you to the school personnel office to sign a paper contract, and after signing it, you can return to Jeju and come to work at the end of August or early September, and we will be colleagues from now on. ”

Meng Yihong took Wu Dao to the personnel department and signed the paper contract there. The time was almost eleven o'clock, and Meng Yihong wanted Wu Dao to stay and finish lunch before going back. Wu Dao didn't want to cause trouble to others, so he left Fangzhou College on the grounds that he wanted to return to his hometown in Qicheng County. He went to a restaurant opposite the west gate of the college for lunch, then took the bus to the train station and took the afternoon train back to Jeju.

The dust of work has settled, Wu Dao is relaxed, and he doesn't feel tired on the train.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Oh Dao returned to Jeju University. As soon as he returned to school, Yang Xinxin called:

"Angkor, I'm going to invite you to dinner tonight. We were all so busy some time ago that I didn't have time to tell you that we had already received our marriage license. ”

"Congratulations." Wu Dao said.

"Tonight is my partner who specially invited everyone to dinner, and also sent invitations, and in a few days, we will have a wedding. I've already told everyone else that anyone who has a boyfriend or girlfriend should bring it. Angkor, we all know you have a girlfriend, so you must bring it with you at night. I'll send you the time and place in a moment. That's it, see you in the evening. ”

Wu Dao wanted to say that he didn't have a girlfriend, but Yang Xinxin had already hung up the phone. A minute later, a text message was sent, which wrote the time and place of the dinner, and also specifically stated that if people were at Jeju University, they would meet at the south gate of the school at half past six and go to the hotel together.

Yang Xinxin said that the marriage object is her college classmate, the two are fellow villagers, they have been talking for many years, after graduating from college, Yang Xinxin chose to go to graduate school, her boyfriend returned to her hometown to work, and Yang Xinxin is now signing a contract with the unit is also in her hometown. Her boyfriend has yet to meet a graduate student majoring in foreign literature. Yang Xinxin got married, and Wu Dao was naturally very happy. He knew that the other five graduate students in foreign literature had also had boyfriends and girlfriends, and they had all attended their parties more than once, and they would definitely attend the evening parties in pairs. "Do you want to ask Si Baifang to join me?" Wu Dao muttered in his heart. Thinking that only he was single among the seven graduate students, that scene would be very embarrassing, and finally he called Si Baifang:

"Baifang, the graduate students of our major have a party tonight. A female classmate got married, and she came to Jeju University with her partner, invited us to dinner, and asked everyone to take her partner with her. Everyone else in our profession has a partner, and we will definitely go together, and if I am the only one who is single, it will be very embarrassing. So, I'd like to ask you a favor. ”

Before Wu Dao finished speaking, Si Baifang interrupted and said:

"Wu Dao, I'll go with you."

"Aren't you mad at me?"

"How could I be mad at you? We're not boyfriend and girlfriend, but we're closer than boyfriend and girlfriend. You've been helping me all these years, and I should do something for you. ”

"Thank you, Baifang."

"No thanks. Where and what time is it to have dinner in the evening? ”

"We will meet at the south gate of the school at half past six in the evening, and I will look for you downstairs in your dormitory at six twenty-five."

"Okay."

At 6:25 p.m., Wu Dao came to the downstairs of the dormitory where Si Baifang lived as scheduled. He just wanted to call Si Baifang when he saw the latter walk out of the building. Wu Dao saw that Si Baifang had deliberately dressed up in order to attend the evening party, and she was even more beautiful than usual.

When the two of them walked to the south gate, Yang Xinxin, Lu Qianqian, Huang Hongkun, and Lou Xinhua were already there, and the next three all brought their boyfriends, and Yang Xinxin was the only one alone. When the four female classmates saw Wu Dao and Si Baifang, they all cheered. Yang Xinxin said:

"Angkor, you finally brought your sister-in-law here."

"My sister-in-law is so beautiful, how can we live." Huang Hongkun said.

"That is, Angkor should bring his sister-in-law to gather with us earlier, and we can also learn from my sister-in-law." Lu Qianqian said.

"Tell me about my sister-in-law." Lou Xinhua said.

Wu Dao heard everyone calling Si Baifang "sister-in-law", worried that Si Baifang would be angry, so he looked at her, only to see that her face was calm and lifeless. Si Baifang took the initiative to say to everyone:

"My name is Si Baifang, I am a graduate student in our department, and my research direction is modern Chinese literature, please take care of me."

Seeing that Si Baifang introduced herself, the other four female classmates also took the initiative to introduce themselves to her. Wu Dao's worries disappeared completely, and he knew that Si Baifang in the here and now had completely entered the role of his girlfriend. How Wu Dao wanted this girlfriend to be real and permanent, not pretended and temporary, but he couldn't ask for anything, because Si Baifang was free.

Yang Xinxin took everyone to the hotel, where her newlywed husband was already waiting for everyone in advance. Everyone entered the private room, and Zheng Tao also came with his girlfriend a few minutes later.

Everyone was very happy at the banquet that day. Among all the girls seated, Si Baifang is the most outstanding one in terms of appearance and temperament. Everyone praised Wu Dao for finding a fairy-like girl as his girlfriend. Ms. Yang and her husband sent invitations to six graduate students majoring in foreign literature, asking them to bring their boyfriends and girlfriends to their wedding in 10 days.

Ten days later, Si Baifang, along with Wu Dao and others, went to Yang Xinxin's hometown to attend her wedding. After the wedding, Si Baifang said to Wu Dao:

"Looking at Yang Xinxin in a wedding dress, I suddenly felt less afraid of marriage. I imagined what it would be like if I put on my wedding dress. ”

"When you put on a wedding dress, you must be the most beautiful bride in the world." Wu Dao said.

"In a month, I'm going abroad, and you're going to graduate and leave Jeju University. Wu Dao, when I come back, let's start again. I will try to accept you and be your real girlfriend. Are you willing to wait for me? ”

"Baifang, of course I do. Don't say it's a year, it's ten years, twenty years, or even a lifetime, I'm willing to wait for you. ”
