Professor Zhong looked at Susie sadly, "This kind of calligraphy and painting has been passed down for thousands of years, and it is already very fragile. ”

"How can you touch it without gloves?"

"You have to know that we have grease and sweat on our hands, and these will have an impact on the paper."

"Unlike porcelain, if you touch a lot of porcelain, at most it is slurry."

Professor Zhong said and walked back, "Wait, I'll get you a pair of gloves." ”

After a while, Professor Zhong came out with a brand new pair of white gloves, and Susie put on the gloves, and then slowly rolled up the calligraphy and paintings.

Professor Zhong asked beside him, "In addition to this calligraphy and painting, have you received any good things recently?" ”

Susie thought for a while, "I bought a turnaround bottle at the overseas Chinese store in the capital. ”

Professor Zhong's eyes lit up, "What about the heart bottle?" Why didn't you bring it? ”

Susie said helplessly: "Professor Zhong, that bottle is too big to take." ”

Professor Zhong's face was full of regret, and he had an impulse to follow Susie back, if nothing else, just to see that the heart-turning bottle was worth it.

It's just that every time he pays his retirement salary, he first buys enough food tickets for a month, and the rest of the money is used to buy antiques.

He has no money in his pockets now, and he doesn't even have money to pay for the road.

Professor Zhong looked at the alarm clock on the table, "It's time for lunch, let's take a walk, I'll take you to the cafeteria to eat." ”

Susie hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Professor Zhong took out two lunch boxes, handed one to Susie, locked the door, and led Susie to the cafeteria.

There were not many people in the teacher's cafeteria, so Professor Zhong took the meal ticket to buy food and sat in the cafeteria with Susie to eat.

After a while, an old man also sat down with dinner.

He looked at Susie carefully, "Old Zhong, where did you pick up this beautiful girl?" ”

Professor Zhong smiled smugly, "My niece." ”

The old man "cut", "I don't know you yet, I don't have brothers and sisters, where is my niece!" ”

Professor Zhong looked at Susie, "I don't believe you asked her!" ”

Susie definitely wanted to give Professor Zhong face, so she had to smile at the old man and nodded.

Professor Zhong was very proud, and the old man glanced at Susie enviously, sighed, and lowered his head to eat.

After eating, Susie washed the two lunch boxes and went back to the dormitory with Professor Zhong.

Professor Zhong laughed twice, and said embarrassedly: "The old man's surname just now is Yuan, and his wife died very early, and he has no children or daughters. ”

"As for me, I've been a bachelor all my life."

"The two of us often laugh at me and I laugh at you, he says I'm a lonely star, and I say he's a loner."

"Hahaha, today I said that you are my niece, but I envy him."

Professor Zhong smiled happily, but Susie heard a little loneliness from these words.

When people are young, they may not feel that they should still want their children to be around their knees when they are old.

Back in the dormitory, Susie accompanied Professor Zhong to talk for a while, and saw that it was almost time for the train to leave, so she said goodbye and went to the train station.

On the way back, Susie was very careful not to break the paintings in her bag.

When she arrived at the county seat, Susie didn't forget to go to the photo studio to get photos of her and Uncle Liao.

Taking out the extra photos, Susie neatly wrote her name on the bag, and then sent the photos to the food factory's communication room.

The uncle in the communication room said enthusiastically: "Why don't you go to your uncle's house today?" ”

Susie smiled at the uncle, "Uncle, I have to catch the bus, and the last bus will leave later." ”

"I'll ask you to pass this on to my uncle for me."

Uncle nodded, "Don't worry, I'll give it to him when I get off work." ”

Susie thanked her uncle, hurried to the station, and finally caught the last train and returned to the horn production team.

At this time, it was almost dark, and as soon as I got out of the car, I saw Qiao Mu coming up.

Qiao Mu reached out and took her bag, and Susie glanced at him, feeling his face freeze blue.

She sneered, "How long have you been waiting here?" ”

Qiao Mu grabbed her hand and stuffed it into his pocket, "Not long, I just came out." ”

Back in the collective household, the meals were all ready, the heat was on the stove, and everyone didn't eat, waiting for Susie.

There was a brazier in the stove house, and Susie sat next to the brazier and roasted for a while, and then she grabbed chopsticks to eat.

After eating, Susie boiled water to wash the dishes, and Qiao Mu was there to help.

When there was no one in the stove house, Qiao Mu asked, "Where did you go today?" ”

Susie said, "I went to the provincial university. ”

After saying that, Qiao Mu took the bowl with his hand, and Ruan Zhonghua seemed to be in the provincial university.

Susie didn't pay attention either, and continued: "I bought a pair of calligraphy and paintings, I don't know what age, I took it to an old professor in the history department of the provincial university to show it. ”

Qiao Mu breathed a sigh of relief and said "um".

Susie glanced at him, "You went out in the morning, and I was going to talk to you." ”

Qiao Mu looked at her, "It's best to call me with you in the future, it's not safe for you to go out alone." ”

Only then did Susie remember that she hadn't told Qiao Mu about going to Port City.

She whispered the matter, and Qiao Mu was silent for a while, "How long are you going?" ”

Susie shook her head, "I don't know, I'll get things done and come back anyway." ”

"By the way, didn't you say that your uncle and grandfather are in Port City-"

Qiao Mu's voice was low, "Since my mother disappeared, there has been no contact. ”

"I don't know their addresses either."

Susie felt that Qiao Mu was depressed, and hurriedly searched her stomach to change the topic, "By the way, what do you want to do in the future?" ”

Qiao Mu looked at Susie a little strangely, "It's not up to me to decide what kind of work I can do. ”

"I mean, if one day the country resumes the college entrance examination, what major do you want to study?" Susie asked in a different way.

Qiao Mu picked up the dishes and chopsticks that Susie had washed and put them on the side of the cupboard, "I haven't thought about this problem. ”

After he finished speaking, his heart moved.

Susie rarely talks nonsense, she suddenly asked, could it be that she got some news, the country is going to resume the college entrance examination?

After all, Susie's father is in the capital and still has a position, so the news is better than ordinary people.

Qiao Mu lowered his voice: "Did Uncle Xu tell you something?" Going back to the college entrance examination? ”

Susie shook her head, "No." ”

"But I always felt that there would be a day, and it wouldn't be long."

"By the way, do you remember some of your high school knowledge?"

Qiao Mu shook his head, "I only went to high school for one year, and the school worked every day, so I was too lazy to go to school." ”

Susie was shocked, "Then you still read calculus?" Can you read it? ”

She had never studied calculus, and she always felt that college should only learn the knowledge of high school and build a good foundation.

Qiao Mu said: "I finished math in high school by myself, and then my uncle asked an old professor in college to get me a book on calculus, and now I am almost finished." ”

Susie said: "I have a full set of high school textbooks there, if you have time, you can read all these in chemistry, physics and Chinese." ”

Now I don't know what subjects to take, Susie estimates that science subjects are probably these.

"By the way, and politics." It is estimated that all political arts and sciences will be examined.
