The Furong Street that Yu Yan is going to is located in the center of Qinan City. It is named after Furong Spring. During the Jin, Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was always a place for literati to drink and write poems. Furong Street was also known for the loud sound of books on the street.
With gurgling water and weeping willows, the artistic conception is elegant and well-known in the West Sea. Furong Street is also the most prosperous place in Qinnan, where merchants live together and many have wealthy compounds. The prosperity is like a passing cloud. The reason why Yu Yan came here is to serve Professor Luo and his wife
Prepare gifts.
Walking on the street, the hawking sounds of businessmen could be heard all the time, which sounded friendly. Yu Yan had already visited several stores. He was really not sure what to give to the teacher. The things were expensive, and he was afraid of humiliating Sven.
It was cheap, but he was also afraid that the other party would think he didn't take it seriously. At this time, Yu Yan was really one of the top two.
Suddenly Yu Yan thought of Yao Yu and thought, maybe she would have some good suggestions.
Yu Yan didn't hesitate, he found a place with a public phone, and called the Teaching and Research Office of the Bureau of Culture and Education directly, "Hello, hello, I'm Yu Yan, is Yao Yu here?"
The person who answered the phone was a man. When he heard that the other party called himself Yu Yan, he suddenly became nervous, "Yu... Secretary Yu, it's you. I'll give the phone to Yao Yu right away!"
Yao Yu is sitting on the table boredly playing with the pencil in her hand. She has been in a bad mood recently. Ever since she and Yu Yan said goodbye at the Antai Municipal Committee that day, she has never seen that guy again. After so many days, Yu Yan called
He didn't even call her, so Yao Yu didn't believe that she couldn't defeat him, so she held back her strength and didn't take the initiative to contact him.
But when she heard her colleague say that Secretary Yu was looking for her, she immediately beamed with a smile on her face. She hurried over and took the phone in the surprised eyes of her colleague, "Hey, who is that?"
Hearing Yao Yu's voice, Yu Yan felt relieved for a moment and said to the phone, "He is a handsome guy. I wonder if Comrade Yao Yu knows him?"
Yao Yu found it funny, "I don't know any handsome guys. I only know one who is dark, ugly, and unsightly. I wonder if that's you?"
Yu Yan knew that Yao Yu was angry with him, so he continued, "Hey, your evaluation is quite pertinent, thank you for the compliment."
Yao Yu chuckled, but she didn't expect Yu Yan to be so thick-skinned, "Huh, Yu Yan, don't be so talkative here. I've heard about it. You were very close to a girl in Antai City recently!"
After hearing this, Yu Yan shouted that something was wrong. Could it be that Yao Yu knew about Xia Ran? Impossible. Yu Yan thought about it and felt that Yao Yu was testing him, so he became less nervous, "Girl? Yao Yu, you don't have to believe it."
Me, but I have to believe in myself. If I were really such a person, would you still like me?"
When Yu Yan said this, he spoke slowly and in a serious tone, which immediately frightened Yao Yu. Yu Yan went on to say, "I've been tricked by others recently, and I'm always worried. It's fine if you don't comfort me.
You still doubt me”
"Yu Yan, what's wrong with you? Who has plotted against you? Tell me quickly." Yao Yu was frightened upon hearing this and asked hurriedly, gradually allowing Yu Yan to take the initiative.
Yu Yan didn't want her to worry, so he continued, "It's okay now. I defeated all the enemies with my brother's wisdom. By the way, I'm in Qinan now!"
Yao Yu felt relieved after hearing Yu Yan say that she was fine. Even though he was angry that Yu Yan didn't call her, she still cared about him in her heart. Didn't she know that there were mines everywhere in the officialdom?
"What are you doing in Qinan?" Yao Yu asked curiously.
So Yu Yan simply told her the reason and asked her what gift she should buy.
On the other end of the phone, Yao Yu nodded and began to think, "The relationship between teachers and students cannot be overstated. Even in the early days of Confucius, students often asked students to pay tribute, and students also need to pay tribute to their teachers on time. Now
Although Professor Luo is no longer what he used to be, your relationship is still there after all. You can give Professor Luo a pair of jade chess sets, and give your wife a few pieces of earth-print cloth from Antai Real Estate. For the chess set, you can go to the Liuqi store and spend the money.
As for cloth, you can go to Huang’s Cloth Shop to buy Antai’s authentic native printed cloth.”
Yao Yu spoke in one breath, revealing all her family treasures, and seemed to know Qi Nan very well, which made Yu Yan wonder how many things this little girl was hiding from him.
After saying a few intimate words to Yao Yu, Yu Yan hung up the phone. Yao Yu was still at work after all, so it was inconvenient for the two of them to talk too much.
Following Yao Yu's suggestion, Yu Yan quickly bought the things. After counting several items, he spent a lot of money.
Professor Luo is still teaching at Shanlu University, so Yue Yan didn't need to ask where he lived, he arrived at Shanlu University in a short time.
Yu Yan carried his things and prepared to walk around the campus. It has been nearly two years since he graduated. He has not returned to his alma mater for such a long time. He has seen Jingjing Campus in his dreams many times, but it is always so unreal and distant. Today, it is really amazing to be in it.
Relive it carefully and feel it.
The bright sunshine of early spring softly filled every corner of the campus. It was the break time after lunch, and the huge campus was filled with leisure and tranquility.
Not long after the start of the new semester, many sophomores have not yet shaken off the greenness of their freshman year. Most of them will take the initiative to nod and smile when they meet Yu Yan, and those who come in pairs with their fingers intertwined are mostly the "school cheerleaders" of juniors and seniors.
"Sisters", among whom there may be master's and doctoral students who have received certificates or even got married.
With towering ancient trees above my head and lush lawns beneath my feet, I have been studying here for four years. Even though I have been away for nearly two years, I still feel like it was yesterday.
I think back then, when I was young and ignorant of the sky and the earth, I wandered around the campus paths like a ghost all day long, wrote poems to clarify my aspirations, threatened to be a bohemian contemporary Taibai, dissected current events with sword-like words, and scratched the dirt. But now I step on the stone paths of those days.
, the heroic and heroic words are still in my ears, but my mood is very different.
Therefore, Yu Yan stopped from time to time and looked at the junior students passing by in groups, feeling full of envy in his heart.
The student dormitory building of the Chinese Department is still so shabby, and the sunny windows are covered with vests, pants, sheets and the like that look like tens of thousands of national flags.
Yu Yan stood downstairs, looking up and counting: one, two, three, until he reached the fourth window from east to west on the third floor, which was room 333 where he had lived.
There were four people in the same dormitory at that time. They could not sleep at night chatting, or they would come back after class to discuss. What everyone talked about most was not the knowledge in class, but the increasingly urgent future direction in reality.
About ten meters away from the window is the dormitory building of the Art Department. Whenever I return to the dormitory from class, the upstairs opposite is filled with the sound of singing or the sound of piano, but the upstairs here is always filled with the twilight atmosphere of ancient history.
.
Those classrooms are still the same, with a gray and shabby appearance, and the facilities inside have not changed for decades. However, the knowledge gained in such classrooms is far more profound than those of the so-called modern universities with grand appearance and luxurious decoration.
many.
The lecture theater in front is where the school organizes major lectures. Top celebrities at home and abroad often come to give lectures. Once upon a time, in order to grab a seat, Yu Yan adopted a rotating duty system, assigning one person in advance to skip meals and carry a school bag.
, notebooks and other objects first occupy a few seats for classmates and roommates, which often leads to quarrels and even fistfights with latecomers.
Nowadays, most of those celebrities have passed away, and no one knows where they have lost the wonderful stories and profound scholarship they told.
The library has been rebuilt, with a very grand shape, and its appearance is much more solemn and elegant than the old square building.
When Yu Yan was a freshman at school, he had not yet fallen in love with Yang Yi, so he spent most of his spare time in the library. Especially during holidays, most other students went home to reunite with their families or travel together. In order to save twenty
For a few yuan for travel expenses, I went to the library to borrow books to pass the time.
At that time, sitting on the steps in front of the library with a book, or wandering in the quiet campus, he felt a little sad and bored, but also felt a certain kind of satisfaction and contentment, and even some indescribable tragedy. He thought to himself,
After all, I took the opportunity to read more books and absorb more knowledge than other students. I will definitely show my unique advantages in the society in the future.
At that time, he believed that he could have a bright future through reading. Now it seems a bit ridiculous and sad to think about it. Those books he read back then left a lot of knowledge, but he didn't know how much he could still use.
