"As for your second question, it is still related to national conditions and culture. Northeast, as part of our entire Chinese territory, is bound to be affected by Chinese civilization and Chinese politics. It is not an independent individual. It has accumulated cultural precipitation over several years.

, is not only our inexhaustible treasure, but also a heavy burden.

"The older the culture, the more difficult it is to accept new things and the more it restricts its development. Look at the major ancient civilizations today: Egypt, India, and Persia. This is not the case. This is a helpless fact.

"As for the United States, which focuses on European and American immigrants, most of the places of origin for immigrants have experienced bourgeois revolutions and believe in freedom and democracy. At the same time, these immigrants also advocate the spirit of freedom and adventure.

"There are few spiritual shackles on their bodies, they are more receptive to new things, and they are more innovative. Therefore, their development in the past two hundred years is unparalleled by any other country..."

Professor Yan met a good listener, and he spoke eloquently and tirelessly. Zhou Tingdong was thirsty for knowledge and diligently pursued it, and he listened with great interest. Professor Lan was knowledgeable in history and would add a few words from time to time. The couple would sometimes argue over their opinions.

Different, they argued for a few words, and then looked at each other and smiled.

Yan Lanfan, like Tingdong, mainly plays the role of a good listener, asking one or two questions from time to time and introducing new topics. A meeting turned into a small academic lecture or discussion.

Finally, Professor Lan found that lunch time was up and she hadn’t gone to cook yet, so she had to ask Lan Fan to order takeout. She said to Tingdong embarrassedly: "I let you eat takeout for the first time when I came home. Auntie is really derelict in her duty."

, Haha, don’t tell your parents when you go back, or they will laugh at me.”

Tingdong also smiled and said: "Auntie, as you said, you and my uncle taught Tingdong a rare lesson. As a junior high school student, I enjoy a higher salary than a doctoral student. In total,

It makes more money than eating a meal cooked by your own hands."

Yan Zhenbang also laughed loudly: "Your child's level of flattering horses is much higher than that of my Lan Fan. It is rare for him to praise us two old people once. However, I like to hear what you say. In the future, if you don't dislike us two

The old guy is nagging and often comes to sit at home. I really like you as a kid. But the old woman's cooking skills are very average and she hasn't made much progress over the years. Don't complain."

Tingdong had an idea and immediately answered: "Tingdong doesn't want me, but I'm afraid you two think I'm stupid and don't like my intrusion."

Lan Fan saw Tingdong's intentions and secretly gave a thumbs up. Professor Lan was not happy anymore. He gave his wife an angry look and said, "Do you think Tingdong is like your father and son? Just now the child said

Yes, knowledge is much more important than eating, isn’t it, Tingdong?”

"Auntie is right. If you two don't think Tingdong is stupid, how about Tingdong becoming your teacher, so that Tingdong can ask for help at any time. I wonder if I am so lucky." Tingdong couldn't wait.

expressed his intention.

Yan Zhenbang was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, pointed at Tingdong and said: "No wonder Lan Fan said you never suffer losses. I have learned the lesson. With four bottles of wine and two boxes of tea, I deceived a doctoral supervisor and an associate professor as a teacher.

You are taking a huge advantage, haha, okay, just because of your cleverness, I will accept you as a non-staff apprentice."

Zhou Tingdong was so blessed that he immediately knelt down and kowtowed three times to Yan Zhenbang, respecting his master. Yan Zhenbang nodded and said, "You are not my graduate student. We are recruiting students privately. The courtesy cannot be broken, so I will accept your three heads."

"

Tingdong turned around and kowtowed to Lan Hanmei again, respecting his master. Professor Lan pretended to be unhappy and said, "I don't want to be your master. I'm also an associate professor, so why can't I be your master?"

This made Tingdong a little embarrassed. Just when he was about to change his name to master, Yan Zhenbang laughed and said: "You old woman, you can just argue with me all day long. Why bother with other people's children and disrespect the elders? Alas!"

"Okay, Tingdong, get up. I can't compete with this old guy in my life, so I accept my fate." Lan Hanmei pretended to be helpless and helped Tingdong up.

It was almost two o'clock in the afternoon when Tingdong came out of Yan's house. He hurried to the bus stop. When a bus bound for his home was about to close the door, he jumped up and stopped with his right foot on the door.

Between the cracks, he pushed hard, pushed open the car door, retracted his body into the car door, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Today, Sunday, there were many people on the streets and the cars were crowded. Normally, there shouldn't be so many people at this time.
