Chapter 290: The Master's and Apprentice's Boat Leaked
Navigation took Luoyang to an old and dilapidated community, several small brick and concrete buildings, the red bricks on the walls have begun to differentiate, and a layer of red brick powder is piled up under the corners, and there is white alkali in some brick joints. There is no access control, there is a small pavilion built of buckle board next to the gate, and an old man sits in it, and he doesn't ask who Luoyang is looking for or anything, and he is too lazy to take care of it.
Luoyang entered the community, but he didn't see the building number, and he couldn't find the house rented by Bai Jing when he located here, so he sent a message in WeChat: Xiaobai, I've arrived.
White porcelain doll: Master, enter the building on the left side of the gate, the fourth room on the third floor, I'm packing up my things, come up.
Luoyang entered the small building on the left, climbed to the third floor, and then counted the doors to the fourth door.
The door was open, but Luoyang still knocked on the door.
"Master, come in." White voice.
Luoyang pushed open the door and walked in.
The room is very small, only about 20 square meters, integrating all the functions of the bedroom, kitchen and living room, and even the study, which seems a little cluttered.
Bai Jing was stuffing clothes into a suitcase next to the bed, she glanced back at Luoyang, a little embarrassed: "Master, I'm small here, it's a bit messy, you sit down, I'll do it right away."
Luoyang didn't sit down, walked up to Bai Jing and watched her stuff clothes into the suitcase, and asked curiously, "You bring so many clothes, can you wear them?"
Bai Jing curled the corners of her mouth slightly: "Master, I'm a girl, girls love beauty, and they must bring a lot of clothes."
"Yes, what about the other experts?" Luoyang changed the subject.
Bai Jing said: "They took the high-speed train to Chang'an City, I booked a hotel for them, and we will meet at the hotel after we pass. When the time comes, you can meet with them and explain the situation. By the way, I have kept an account of all the expenses, and I have not spent a penny of the money you have given, let alone filled my own pocket."
Luo Yang smiled: "You and I know what to do so well, you don't need to keep accounts, just tell me if you don't have enough money, I'll just get it for you."
Bai Jing blinked his big eyes, as if he was wondering if Master's words were hiding a meaning that needed to be understood or understood.
At this moment, there was a sudden strange noise next door.
It was the sound of furniture vibrating, springs being squeezed, and a strange sound of uh-huh-hmm.
Everyone is an adult, and they understand it in seconds.
Without warning, the atmosphere in the room was suddenly silent and awkward.
Luoyang frowned and wanted to complain, but the words came to his mouth and swallowed again. In the early morning, what's wrong with people's morning exercises, and it's in someone's own home, what's the matter with him?
This society needs to be inclusive and allow such voices to exist.
Bai Jing's pretty face flushed, and she said embarrassedly, "Master, there is a little couple next door, I have hinted at it several times, but people don't pay attention to me at all." She glanced at the wall where the voice came from, and resented, "Usually two or three times in the evening, once in the morning, as if there is a KPI to be completed, I am also drunk."
Luo Yang couldn't help but be happy: "You actually counted the numbers, are you planning to write a paper or something?"
Bai Jing stomped his feet: "Master! I'll ignore you."
Luoyang suddenly regretted a little, he was the master of others, and it seemed a bit "disrespectful to the old" to say such things. However, after thinking about it, the master-apprentice relationship between him and Bai Jing was not formal, and they were both young people of the same age, so it was nothing to joke.
"The environment you live in is too bad, or else, when this time is done, you go and choose a house, and I'll give you a down payment or something." Luoyang said that his disciple lived in such an environment, and he, the master, could not afford to lose this face.
Bai Jing blinked her eyes again, she was pondering her master's mind just now, and after hearing this, she naturally guessed a direction.
"Why, don't you like it?" Luoyang thought that the female disciple would be very happy, but he didn't expect her to react like this.
Bai Jing said tentatively, "Master, why did you suddenly remember to pay me a down payment?"
Luoyang said
Said: "In the past, you said that the environment you live in is poor, but I haven't felt it, but today I came to see that it is really bad, so I want to pay you a down payment and improve your environment."
Bai Jing pursed his fleshy lips with his tongue: "Master, I studied archaeology, I am still in graduate school, but my mentor is dead, I don't even have a job, and it will be difficult to find a job in the future, you pay me a down payment, what will I use to pay off the mortgage in the future?"
"Uh, isn't it hard to find a job in this major?"
"Master, you know, it has to matter, if Professor Su doesn't die, I can still find a job, but once he dies, my employment prospects will be slim." A small expression of frustration appeared on Bai Jing's face.
Luoyang thought for a moment: "Why don't you go with ***."
Bai Jing looked at Luoyang and continued to probe, "Master, what am I doing with you?"
Luoyang was about to speak, when the movement next door suddenly intensified, the sound of furniture rubbing against the ground was very obvious, and a few seconds later, a man's muffled snort was heard. It is estimated that he was moving the furniture, and after a while, it finally moved into place.
The embarrassment value soars into the sky.
Luoyang withdrew his gaze from the wall next door, and found Bai Jing staring at him upright, his eyes were sharp and a little shy, a little nervous, as if he was observing and analyzing something, and he already had the answer in his heart.
He reflected on what she had just asked, and suddenly understood something, he coughed dryly: "Don't get me wrong, I mean you don't have to look for a job, you can work for me, Brother Shi is also working for me now, I will give him a salary of 20,000 a month, if you want, I will give you 30,000."
"Master, why do I want to be two thousand taller?" Bai Jing continued to tempt.
"You're a graduate student, and if you have a higher education, your salary will naturally be higher." Luoyang said.
"And what exactly do I do?" Bai Jing asked again.
"For example, if I go to dig the No. 4 pit of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor this time, it can be regarded as working for me, and in addition, if I have any ancient texts for you to translate in the future, you can translate them, and maybe occasionally have a little errand work or something." That's all Luoyang can think of.
Bai Jing stared at Luoyang and didn't speak, but his eyes became more and more enthusiastic.
Luoyang was slightly stunned: "What are you looking at?"
"Master!" Bai Jing suddenly felt a feeling, took two steps over, and hugged Luoyang.
Luoyang froze suddenly, with nowhere to put his hands, and he didn't know what to do.
"Xiaobai, you ......"
After a few seconds, Bai Jing let go of Luoyang and turned around, not daring to look at Luoyang.
But Luoyang saw it, there were tears in her eyes, and he said with concern, "Okay, why are you crying?"
Bai Jing wiped the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand, turned around, his face was full of smiles, but his big eyes were still shining with tears: "I'm happy, except for my parents, no one has ever treated me so well. Just now, you reminded me of my father, so I couldn't hold back for a while, so I hugged you."
Luoyang: "......"
He is one or two years older than Bai Jing, and he is regarded as a father by her, which is indeed a bit embarrassing.
"Master, I will take what you say seriously, and I will work for you from now on." A bright smile appeared on Bai Jing's face.
"Well, no problem. By the way, who are you, I've never heard you talk about your family." As her master, and now that she has the identity of a boss, Luoyang feels the need to have a deeper understanding.
"Coincidentally, I am from Shaanxi, 200 kilometers away from Chang'an City, and my home is a small village on the Loess Plateau. My mom was a teacher at the village primary school, and my dad was a farmer who died of illness three years ago." Saying this, Bai Jing sighed, "If I met you at that time, you would definitely be able to cure my father's illness."
Luoyang wanted to comfort her, but she didn't know what to say.
"My mother was against me studying archaeology, but I was very stubborn and didn't listen to her, and now I see that she is right, and I can't even find a job studying archaeology. Fortunately, I met you, Master, you are so good." Bai Jing showed a sweet smile and looked at Luoyang's eyes
There are also a bit of variations.
Luoyang said, "This time I went to Chang'an, you should go back to visit your mother by the way. I'm also serious about the house, go back and see where it's suitable, and I'll pay you a down payment."
"Hmm!" Bai Jing's heart was moved, and his footsteps moved, as if he wanted to hug his master, but he didn't come over after all.
Luoyang was actually worried that she would come over and give him a hug or something, it was really embarrassing for her to be regarded as a father, and he also diverted his attention: "Hurry up, Chang'an is not far away, and we will also take the high-speed train over."
Bai Jing stuffed the last two pieces of underwear into the suitcase and zipped it up: "I'm fine."
"Give it to me, I'll carry it for you." Luoyang went up and lifted her suitcase.
Bai Jing said, "Master, do you want to bring a suitcase?"
"Well, just buy what you need over there." Luoyang suddenly remembered something, "By the way, do you know how to drive?"
"Yes, Master, why are you asking this?" Bai Jing's heart began to speculate again.
Luoyang said: "Although we are not a company, but it is also the nature of a studio, it is inconvenient to have no car, we will buy a car in Chang'an City, you will be responsible for driving, and it is convenient for you to go home to see your aunt."
"It's easy to have a car, but it's ......."
Luoyang asked her, "But what?"
Bai Jing looked a little embarrassed: "I was admitted to the university for a driver's license, and I haven't touched a car for several years, are you sure you dare to ride in my car?"
"Practice makes perfect, you will be skilled when you open it, it's okay, what dare you not sit." Luoyang said.
"Okay, but you have to accompany me back to my hometown, and I will drive." Bai Jing actually put forward a condition.
"Okay, it's not bad to go to the Loess Plateau." Luoyang readily agreed, and he dragged his suitcase out, "Let's go, book a high-speed rail ticket on the way."
Bai Jing picked up the computer bag on the computer desk and followed, and when he was about to go out, he couldn't help but ask, "Master, I have a question for you, don't be angry when I say it."
Luoyang glanced at her: "You say, I'm not angry."
"Master, you're buying a house and a car, are you ......" After hesitating for three seconds, Bai Jing mustered up the courage to say, "Are you supporting me?"
Luoyang: "......"
The master's and apprentice's boat seemed to be leaking.
