Picking mulberries

Qiu Yang called home, saying that he would not be going home during the summer vacation and would work part-time in the city to earn tuition fees, in the name of lightening the burden on his family.After hearing this, Zhuang Huaying felt disappointed again, eagerly looking forward to her son's holiday, but finally looking forward to the holiday, but no one could say it. She was really disappointed, so she used her usual methods, coaxing, coaxing, coercing, coercing, trying to persuade her son to come back. Home.

"You unfilial son, there are so many things in Tianbandi, and the baby silkworms at home are waiting to be fed, so you have the heart to let your mother be busy alone." Zhuang Huaying played the hard card, "Aren't you afraid of the sun? It's not white, what do you care about, it's healthier to tan, I heard that girls don't like fair faces anymore."

"The work I do here is more tiring than at home. It is windy and rainy every day. I am not afraid of getting sunburned. There is no white spot on my whole body. I look like someone who crawled out of a soy sauce vat," Qiu Yang said aggrievedly. , "Besides, don't you still have a dad at home? You two have done it for so many years. It doesn't matter if I have more or less."

"Your father is not the one who does that kind of rough work. If you do heavy work, your hands will get callused and you will not be able to write and draw flexibly." Zhuang Huaying said straightforwardly.

"I've never seen you be so cruel and ruthless as a mother." Qiu Yang rolled his eyes at this end. He is an old couple and still cherishes his husband so much, "My husband is a treasure, and my son is a grass. I was picked up by you on the side of the road Yes."

"This child, how do you talk? Do I look like a stepmother?" Zhuang Huaying played the family card again, "Come back, let mom see the handsome guy, mom cooks delicious food for you every day, and the old ancestors at home are talking about you every day , your grandma has made a wish in front of the Bodhisattva, and she will return a pot of sesame oil to the temple when you return home."

"What a mess, I didn't become a monk and became a monk. Isn't dad at home, he is a senior handsome guy, you can watch it every day if you have nothing to do, I don't have time."

"Yo, you boy, you don't want to come in, don't come back, right? Then if you have the ability, don't come back forever. If you come, I will break your leg." Zhuang Huaying was furious.

"Look, the nature is exposed, isn't it? Calm down, women, the more calm, the more elegant." Qiu Yang said with a smile.

"Don't be so talkative, hang up, forget it if you don't come, it's a waste of my mother's phone bill."

"Wait, tell Dad to answer the phone, I have something to ask him."

"what's up?"

"For matters between men, I have to ask Dad directly."

"Not here, your father has gone to the county seat." Zhuang Huaying said angrily.

"Go to the county seat?"

"The County Writers Association has a meeting, and there is another award activity to participate in. Isn't your dad one of the directors of the Writers Association? He wants to be a judge."

"Oh, okay, Dad has become a local squire, Qiu Xiucai is quite famous." Qiu Yang made a fuss.

"That's right, show me if you have the ability," Zhuang Huaying teased, "Aren't some people not even allowed into the student union?"

"Student union is nothing, a group of people who have nothing to do, I don't bother to participate." Qiu Yang said sourly when he couldn't eat grapes.Qiu Yang believes in Buddhism and Zen. Anyone who knows him knows that because of his beliefs, Qiu Yang, who has excellent academic performance and outstanding communication skills, was rejected by the student union.

"It doesn't matter whether you are disdainful or unqualified, it doesn't matter if you get in or not. Your old lady is very open-minded, and you can live a smooth life. It is not my dream to be rich and wealthy. If you need money, just make a phone call. Don't be shy to speak. The money my father and I made is not for you, the sun is very poisonous, don’t expose yourself to the sun in the middle of the day.” Seeing that her son was determined not to come back, Zhuang Huaying had no choice but to accumulate some social experience. Don't get into money eyes and only recognize money."

"I'm so touched, I'm in tears." Qiu Yang said seriously.

"Mother, I don't know what kind of character your kid is. One is superstitious and the other is love of money. Anyway, you are grown up now, so I won't interfere, but don't let it go, don't be a slave to the mud Bodhisattva and Brother Kong Fang .”

"Let me tell you again, I don't call it superstition, it's belief, I don't love money, it's practice, if you don't hang up, I will hang up, it hurts my self-esteem too much." Qiu Yang muttered.

"Wait," Zhuang Huaying suddenly remembered something, "Where did you buy the bag for me last time? Did you pay attention to maintenance?"

"That bag is not a luxury brand, you can make it as you like, there are instructions inside." Qiu Yang responded.It’s just better than street stalls. Seeing that the exterior design is more upright, I regard it as a treasure.

"It's all in English, I can't understand it."

"Anyway, you've graduated from high school, so you should be able to get a rough guess."

"I'm sorry, I even returned the twenty or so letters of English to the teacher. I don't want to say that I've failed. You just studied for a few more years. What kind of high-level intellectuals are you pretending to be in front of my mother." Zhuang Huaying scolded.

"I didn't mean to look down on you, it's because you are overthinking." Qiu Yang said with a smile.

"By the way," Zhuang Huaying began to gossip again, "Your uncle bought a car made in China, but it looks pretty good."

"Is that so, then do I have to express myself and go over with a salute?" Qiu Yang inquired.

"What kind of gift do you give to a consumer who is not independent from your parents? When he drove home, your father set off a big firecracker. What kind of gift should you give when you buy a car? I just want to tell you, if you want to come back next time, Call your uncle and ask him to pick you up."

"That's not good, uncle is very busy with business, how can I bother him."

"The car is really not expensive now. Before I thought about it, I couldn't even imagine that he could buy a car," Zhuang Huaying said flatteringly, "Son, why don't your dad and I buy a car for you, saving tens of thousands of dollars I can still take it out, I heard that many college students now have cars, and it’s convenient for you to go home if you have a car.”

"You think you're buying Chinese cabbage to buy Leehom Wang's concert tickets, and the car is worth tens of thousands of dollars. It seems that I have to go home. You are willing to spend money just to see me. Don't think so If I want a car, I will work hard to save money," Qiu Yang persuaded, "It is easy to buy a car, but the cost of maintaining a car is not low. The price of oil alone is going up, one price a day."

"That's right, if I didn't say it," Zhuang Huaying echoed, "According to our family's financial situation, even if we bought a car, it was a waste of face, and we worked hard all day to pay for it as an ancestor." Mother and son The two chatted for a long time before hanging up.

"Call A Yang again," Zhou Guimei, who came back from the mulberry garden after picking up a load of mulberry leaves, saw her daughter-in-law smiling and holding the phone, and hurried over, "Let me talk to him too."

"You brat is busy, didn't you just hang up."

"It's such a coincidence, it was on purpose, you hung up as soon as I came, and you deliberately prevented me from talking to Yang Bao." Zhou Guimei said disappointedly.

"Where are you thinking?" Zhuang Huaying said with a smile, "I used to be afraid that you would influence him by talking about it, but now that he's grown up, why don't you let you talk to him even if he believes in gods and ghosts?"

"Going home during the summer vacation? It's been two months, you should come back."

"No, your precious grandson is going to work outside to earn tuition fees." Zhuang Huaying took Zhang Fencan's frame, "That's fine, I don't know how much anger I will suffer when we meet every day, so it can relieve us to some extent. burden."

"Working outside? Okay." To Zhuang Huaying's surprise, her mother-in-law was overjoyed when she heard that her grandson was going to work. "Our family's foreign treasure is destined to make a lot of money, and it will be very rich in the future."

"Why are you so motivated? Working part-time and listening to other people's yelling is nothing rich. Really, yesterday I dreamed of eating ginseng and bird's nest given by your precious grandson."

"The Bodhisattva has told me all about it, it's really a life of wealth and honor." Zhou Guimei said with certainty.

"I've never seen a muddy Bodhisattva who can speak, so I'm being fooled by some monk or layman." Zhuang Huaying disagreed.

"I drew a lottery for him in the temple a few days ago, and the lottery said that our foreign treasure has noble people to help us, so we can become the big boss in the future."

"Hey, you also believe in those ambiguous signatures that anyone can get on," Zhuang Huaying disdained her mother-in-law's words, "If I had noble people to help me, I might have become the women's director of the province. Be the boss ? Opening a grocery store is also called the boss, setting up a street stall is also called the boss, pushing a mobile dining car is also called the boss, and there are many bosses. In other words, your old lottery is not good, and you can be a boss Boss, doesn’t that mean that your grandson is not destined to be an official?”

"It's no point arguing with you, anyway, you never believed the Buddha's words," Zhou Guimei said unhappily, "Anyway, I believe that our foreign treasure will have a bright future."

"I also have confidence in him."

Qiu Yang's wishful thinking during the summer vacation was in full swing. Qi Zhuoran's girlfriend Yao Zhe went home during the summer vacation, so he encouraged Qi Zhuoran. Go back to school and live at Qi Zhuoran's house.

Qi Zhuoran originally thought serving dishes was tiring and disrespectful and didn't want to go, but his mother Yin Shoumei scolded him, saying that Qiu Yang is more handsome than you, has better grades and is taller than you, he is tall, rich, handsome and capable, why are you a dick? Can't do it.Qi Zhuoran had no choice but to agree to Qiu Yang with tears in his eyes. He left early and returned late, and lacked exercise in normal times, so he was as tired as a bear after a day.

"Brother, if you want to make money, can you find an easier job and put the knowledge you have learned into practical use, instead of doing this migrant work." Going home one day, Qi Zhuoran complained to Qiu Yang.

"You have a good idea. Which unit will spend money to hire temporary workers for a month or two? We are not people with background and backing, so you can be content. Migrant workers? You are far from the quality of migrant workers. Although he sweats under the sun, one month's salary can cover our two months." Qiu Yang laughed.

"You really can make trouble," Qi Zhuoran snorted, "Seeing that your family is not very rich, but you can still get by. You Tian Youdi are richer than my family. Is it necessary to work so hard? Everyone has made an appointment for summer vacation. Where are you going to travel?"

"It's not a matter of making money or not. It's mainly about knowing more about the society, which will help you find a job and start a business in the future."

"The reason is really high-sounding." Qi Zhuoran glanced at Qiu Yang who was laying a mat on the floor, "It's not that I don't talk about brotherhood, this bed is really not wide enough, and you are tall, so you are the only one who sleeps on the floor."

"What else can you expect if you have an air conditioner? It's enough," Qiu Yangju joked, "If you feel sorry for brother, why don't we squeeze together on the bed?"

"No, I'm not good at that." Qi Zhuoran repeatedly pushed Qiu Yang away with his fat hands.

"Which one is better?"

"Fuck it."

"What are you doing with you? Chick, don't make me sleepless with nightmares at night." Qiu Yang scolded with a smile.

"Have I ever done that?" Qi Zhuoran refused now.

"It's not a matter of time and time, it's that you're not white enough and pretty enough, and you don't have that interest." After speaking, Qiu Yang suddenly remembered the scene in the dream, and his hips immediately reacted, and he quickly lay back on the straw mat to cover up his embarrassment .

"Did you know that since the sophomore year, our pathology was taught by Professor Cui." Qi Zhuoran began to gossip when he saw that Qiu Yang wanted to sleep so early.

"Who is Professor Cui?" It was rare to see that Qi Zhuoran was so interested in the course, so Qiu Yang asked, "Is he famous?"

"No... yes... you don't even know who Professor Cui is? My God, are you still from our Agricultural University?" Qi Zhuoran exaggerated.

"Why are you making such a fuss? Professor Cui is Guanshiyin Bodhisattva. Do I have to know him?" Qiu Yang said disdainfully, "Who like you grew up in the vocational college of our Agricultural University? Of course you knew it when you grew up, the school is so big, but I can’t even recognize our school’s principal.”

"It's understandable that you haven't heard of other professors. Even if you haven't met Professor Cui Dongxu Cui, the postdoctoral fellow of plant protection, you should have heard people talking about it." Qi Zhuoran thought for a while, and then said, "I can understand, I can understand, You don't even have a girlfriend, and you don't have much contact with any seniors, so it's no wonder that you are ignorant. He is the most proud student and the most precious student of the father-in-law. You have always heard of Gong Yaping, right?"

"Of course Professor Gong has heard of it. Isn't he the dean of our College of Agricultural Biotechnology? He's also the director of the Institute of Applied Biotechnology. I haven't heard much about it yet. Professor Cui's lectures are very interesting?" Qiu Yangxin Next, what kind of messy logic, I don't like to have anything to do with those nonsense, I haven't heard of Professor Cui.

"Of course, otherwise, why would so many people choose his class."

"His lectures are very lively? Didn't you never take his class before?" Qiu Yang snorted.

"It's not only vivid, but also humorous. You don't have to take his class to know it. He is famous. Although my dad is older than him, he still admires him," Qi Zhuoran continued, " I think the most distinctive feature is the way he rolls names in class.”

"Is it the opposite of Mrs. Zou?" Qiu Yang asked with concern.Their homeroom teacher, Mrs. Zou Yujiao, had to count heads every time she was in class, and she had to explain if she was missing one.

"No," Qi Zhuoran explained, "He stayed in our school to teach after graduating in 03. Every semester, he will take the exam at the beginning of class, and he will write the test paper himself. If any student fails to take the exam, he will go to his office to make up the exam. .After the test, he will be approved by himself, and the whole class will report who gets the score. After the score comes out, his roll call list for that semester will also come out. He will roll the names of the top five and bottom five students before each class. Those who didn't show up will be alone Explain the reason, and if the reason is not enough, the credit will be directly deducted. This semester is over, and the next semester will be his first class, and he will take the exam again, so he will make a roll call list."

"It's interesting," Qiu Yang said with a smile, "The top five and bottom five students can skip class every day."

"Generally speaking, no one skips his class."

"Then what's his name in class?"

"I don't know," Qi Zhuoran thought for a while, "but he started taking graduate students last year, and only took three, two of which were in the top five of his exams every semester, and one was actually ranked in the top five in his first exam. The last place, you say it’s strange, but that student was always at the top of his tests later on.”

"It's kind of amazing," Qiu Yang said in amazement, "When you said the professor, I thought he was an old man. He only graduated in 03, so he shouldn't be too old."

"Well, he's only 33 this year, and he's still single. He's really tall, rich and handsome. My mother has introduced him several times."

"At 33, I'm going to be a professor and lead a graduate student. I'm so impressed."

"It's still the professor."
