Chapter 7 Professor Xu
Although Ninghu is a good place, no one will come here in winter. The reason is that - it's too cold.
Every summer, many ordinary people gather around Ninghu Lake who come to take a summer vacation. In winter, the environment of Ninghu Lake surrounded by mountains on three sides seems a bit bad. The only flat upper reaches are facing the north, and cold winds pour in from the north entrance of the basin, and the temperature in the lake area is much lower than the surrounding area. Ningyuan city relies on the urban heat island effect, and the average daytime temperature in winter is about zero degrees. The temperature in Ninghu Lake directly drops to minus six degrees. At the same time, there are gusts of wind, and the body-sensing temperature is probably not much different from the capital.
Sun Lien and his group arrived at Ninghu Resort by car. Xu Yourong wrote in PPT that she directly booked a small fishing villa near the lake. Two cruise ships can be used by six people all day long. Ninghu Lake is deep and often waved. The short-term cold wind cannot freeze the lake surface. Instead, the surrounding stones are coated with a layer of ice coat. The hot water discharged from the power plant upstream has created a scene similar to rime around, with a unique flavor. The villa comes with a charcoal barbecue area and four firewood heating stoves indoors. There are four rooms and eight beds in the room, which is enough for six people to use.
Yes, there were six people in the group, and Xu Yourong's parents were also in the car.
Xu's father is not young anymore and may even look a little older than Liu Pingchuan. The old man is a professor at the School of Literature of Song'an University, and Xu's mother is a junior sister who is three younger than Xu's father. In short, Xu Yourong's parents can be regarded as a very topical "brother-sister love" at that time.
Professor Xu was a professor all his life at Song'an University. Professor Xu got a daughter when he was old. He gave birth to a precious daughter like Xu Yourong with his wife at the age of 42. Professor Xu, who claimed to be a family of books, even used the traditional literati's idea to let his daughter go to the doctor. On the one hand, he was a good thing to save the world and rejuvenate his life. On the other hand, his daughter was not interested in career, so he was not a good minister, so he was a good doctor, which was considered to be a teaching by the ancients.
On the other hand, Professor Xu is actually a playful person. During the ten-year catastrophe, Professor Xu, who was newlywed with his junior sister, was sent to Lincang, Yunnan. Professor Xu, who was still a young man at that time, was not hit at all, but took the opportunity to travel around the mountains and rivers near Lincang. When he returned to Song'an University to take up his post, other professors from the literature department were all working on scar literature. Only Professor Xu wrote a book called "Lincang Travel", which was also a clear stream in the literary world at that time.
However, along the way, Professor Xu and his wife, who were supposed to be fun and enjoying the trip, didn't talk much. After the six people arrived at the villa, Professor Xu simply pulled Sun Lien and walked to the lake to fish together.
Sun Lien was so cold that he was very cold. If there wasn't a stove behind him to keep warm, he wouldn't even be able to stretch his fingers straight. He was wearing the lambskin gloves given by Hu Jia on his right hand, and his left hand was trembling and loading bait on the fish hook.
Professor Xu threw the rod and carried the bait, sat on the small wooden pier and fished for fish. After a while of silence, he suddenly sighed.
Sun Lien thought that Professor Xu felt it was meaningless to fish with him, an outsider. He was about to apologize with embarrassment, but suddenly he heard Professor Xu ask slowly, "I heard... are you a tolerant leader?"
Sun Lien sucked his nose and pointed at himself and smiled bitterly, "Uncle Xu, have you ever seen a leader like me?"
Professor Xu nodded deeply, "I don't think you look like you, either."
As the cold wind blew, Sun Lien shivered and secretly glared at the old man who was telling the truth.
"Yourong suddenly seemed to have changed his temperament a few days ago. He was willing to chat with us when he was at home." The old man picked up the rod and pulled back on the cold shore. A greedy crucian carp was caught by Professor Xu. He picked the crucian carp and threw it back into the water. "But there is only one topic of chatting-you."
Sun Lien shook, and when he lifted the rod, the fish hook was empty, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Doctor Xu was talking badly to me at home, right?"
Professor Xu also laughed, "This child's personality is really bad, so he will say it in person. How could he hold it in his arms and complain to us?" He lowered the pole again, and the red and yellow floats were rising and falling on the water with white smoke.
Several swans flew over the water in the distance. Since the thermal power plant upstream of Ninghu was put into use, Ninghu has become one of the wintering choices for migratory birds with its relatively high water temperature and the aquatic plants and organisms produced by the high water temperature.
The white bird, the old man, the fishing rod, the mist. Sun Lien vaguely felt as if he was looking at a painting of ink painting.
"You know what she... is it?" Professor Xu lifted the rod again, but it was still a small crucian carp. After picking the fish and releasing it, Professor Xu suddenly asked Sun Lien, "You are all young people, it may be easier to talk about this topic than to talk to us?"
Sun Lien was silent. He didn't know how to answer this question.
The wind blew across the lake again, and a gust of white mist was swept to the shore.
"I always feel... she's happy." Professor Xu sighed, "But I can't say this."

Professor Xu is an old-fashioned person. Although his years of dealing with young students have made him extremely activate many problems, he really can't get through his own stance when it comes to his daughter's sexual orientation. Professor Xu has been working on psychological construction for a long time. He can accept that his daughter does not like men and that she plans to spend her life with homosexuals. But he really can't say in front of his daughter, "It's good that you like it, I don't care."
Sun Lien's pole head moved slightly, and he suddenly lifted the pole, and a carp weighing almost two pounds was taken out of the water.
"If you need psychological counseling, I can introduce you to the better psychotherapist in our hospital." Sun Lien decided to keep the fish, "but... I'm frank, Uncle Xu." He took advantage of the fishing time and turned to Professor Xu and said seriously, "This kind of thing is not something that anyone can decide. This is a natural thing. Don't have any psychological burden, and don't feel embarrassed."
"I know these things." Professor Xu put down his fishing rod, wrapped his hands around his left knee, and coughed gently twice. "God also has blind times, so she can't blame her."
"And, don't think about sending Dr. Xu to any correction agency." Sun Lien said seriously. There are many such reports on the news. He felt that he needed to remind Professor Xu. "Ask yourself, if someone sent you to a place isolated from the world and forced you to like a man with electric shocks and corporal punishment every day, how would you feel?"
Professor Xu glanced at Sun Lien, and nodded after a while, "I understand."
The mist was filled with water, two men, one old and one young, were roasting fire by the water, continuing to talk about something.
