The noon sun is sprinkled, and through the sparse shadow of the ancient paulownia in the courtyard, it falls horizontally.

Mr. Wu looked at the tall young man in front of him, and had a faint sense of familiarity, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it, until Qiao Chen'an said his name, the old man remembered the scene in his memory, and subconsciously stepped forward, and said in disbelief: "You, you are Chen'an?"

Qiao Chenan respectfully performed the teacher salute, with a hint of respect in his eyes, and said, "It's the student." ”

Mr. Wu took two steps forward excitedly, dropped the ring ruler in his hand, held his palm, with a look of remembrance in his eyes, and looked at him carefully, seeing that there was a rare young man between his eyebrows and eyes, and then he was surprised: "Sure enough, it's you!"

Unexpectedly, the naughty and mischievous prickly student at the beginning has become a handsome boy, and he can only secretly say that the vicissitudes of life have changed.

Qiao Chen'an said: "Sir, wait a minute!"

Turning his head to look at the Huangfu Xuan under the hall, his face was full of seriousness, and he shouted, "Don't give me over yet!"

In fact, as soon as Qiao Chen'an entered the house, Huang Fuxuan's whole person wilted, and it was strange to say, the little guy was born with a temperament that was not afraid of heaven and earth, and sometimes he didn't even listen to his sister Jiaona's words, but he was afraid of Qiao Chen'an alone.

At this time, seeing that he seemed to be really angry, he suddenly didn't dare to laugh at all, lowered his head, and moved his steps to his approach like an angry girl.

"Don't apologize to Mr. yet!"

Huangfu Xuan secretly glanced up at Qiao Chen'an, and saw that his expression was stern, with anger in his eyes, he hurriedly looked up at Mr. Wu on the side, and said respectfully: "Sir, the student knows that he is wrong, he shouldn't make trouble in the school, please punish him." ”

The little guy is so smart that he knows that he has indeed gone too far this time, so he has to be as sincere as he is.

Mr. Wu sighed lightly, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, study hard in the future!"

When Huang Fuxuan heard this, a smile for the rest of his life just appeared on his face, and he heard Qiao Chen'an say: "How can this be done, this guy disturbs the discipline of the academy, and has no respect for the elders, how can it be so easily exposed?"

Turning his head to look at Huangfu Xuan, he said in a deep voice: "Mr. is reluctant to punish you, I will punish you, copy the "Three Character Sutra" a hundred times, and hand it over to me the day after tomorrow!"

Huang Fuxuan wanted to say something, but when he saw Qiao Chen'an's stern gaze, he had to make a bitter face and said in a long voice, "Yes-".

Mr. Wu said: "Why do you have to ...... like this?"

......

In the hall, the two of them came to a side room behind the private school, two fragrant teas on the table, curling with mist, Qiao Chen'an said: "It's all to blame for my lax discipline, which has brought you so much trouble, teacher!"

Mr. Wu stroked his white beard and said with a smile: "Don't get in the way, don't get in the way, although this son is a little naughty, but he is naturally smart and his mind is open early. ”

There was a touch of kindness in his eyes, and he sighed: "They are all good children!"

Looking at Mr. Wu's much older appearance in front of him, Qiao Chen also felt a little emotional, he didn't think there was anything good about this old man when he was a teenager, there was a lot of trouble in the school, and he had suffered many boards for this, but when he grew up, he would feel that Mr. was good, and he remembered that carefree youth.

Come and go, read the scriptures and history hard, ten years of cold windows, just for one high school!

This is the wish of many scholars in the world, but in the end, how many people can really step into the court? The original dream has been drowned in the tide of time, and perhaps when I recall it occasionally, I will only smile.

There are always a bunch of big and small dreams in life, and in the end, how many can be left in my heart?

But Mr. Wu is the guide to protect this little dream, using his meager light and heat to shine on the seedling-like students and let them thrive.

The spring silkworm is dead, the silk is exhausted, the wax torch is turned into ashes, and the tears are dry, this is the "teacher"!

Qiao Chenan looked at the old man in front of him, a wave of respect arose, and asked, "Why did Mr. come here to teach?"

Mr. Wu said with a smile: "This matter is a long story, I have taught you in Qiantang County for two years, but I never thought that the inner room was seriously ill, so I had to put down the private school affairs, seek medical treatment everywhere, and finally came to Hangzhou." ”

Qiao Chen'an was stunned when he heard this, he was still wondering why Mr. Wu left quietly, but he didn't expect it to be this reason, and asked, "Then Mrs. is an old man?"

Mr. Wu's expression darkened, and he sighed: "I'm gone! I want to spend more time with her here, so I didn't go back to Qiantang." ”

Qiao Chenan comforted: "Life and death have their own destiny, Mr. mourning, don't be too sad." ”

As long as you live in the world, you will face birth, old age, sickness and death, and the operation of the Heavenly Dao has its own certainty, which is something that no one can change, and only those immortals can coexist with the world.

Mr. Wu smiled cheerfully: "Don't talk about these things, it's you, I heard that you have been accepted as a disciple by the dean of Chongwen Academy, this is something that many people can't dream of! You must seize the opportunity, and you must not slack off like you did when you were a child, otherwise you will be expelled from the school, see how you deal with yourself!"

Qiao Chenan nodded and said, "That's natural, thank you Mr. for your concern." ”

Immediately, his face turned bitter, "How can Mr. remember those ridiculous things when I was a child......

"Haha!

The old man stroked his beard and laughed.

The two have not seen each other for many years, and there is less estrangement between teachers and students between each other, and there is a little more intimacy, chatting about some family routines, talking about some historical scriptures, and the old man is no longer as old-fashioned as before. From time to time, there was loud laughter, and the afternoon passed by in a hurry.

Before I knew it, it was dusk, the sky was getting dark, the moon shadow was floating, quietly climbing up the branches, most of the students dispersed, Qiao Chenan led Huangfuxuan to stand at the door of the private school, and said goodbye to Mr. Wu.

"Sir, Ah Xuan will have to work hard for you in the future, if he behaves disrespectfully in the future, you tell me, and the student will definitely punish him severely!"

Mr. Wu nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry." ”

Qiao Chen'an was silent, and arched his hand: "Sir, go back to the house, the weather is still cold, don't get caught in the cold." The student is going back!"

Under the moonlight, two figures, one big and one small, walked in the alley, until they were about to walk out of the alley, Qiao Chenan looked back, but saw that Mr. Wu was still standing at the door and looking at this side, some rickety figures melted into the darkness, but their eyes were inexplicably sour.

There is such a kind of person in this world, who does not seek fame or profit, but silently exerts his strength in the corners that ordinary people cannot see, until the last flame is burned, and then he does not stop.

Light and a few lines of words, thick smearing a lifetime.

But who cares?

Qiao Chenan took Huangfu Xuan's palm and turned around and walked towards the inn.
