After Tang Couple left, Tang Chen looked the same as before, but in fact, he would be distracted when he had nothing to do. He looked very irritable, his mouth was no longer mean, and he sat quietly and lost in thought all day long.

It's like a different person.

As soon as Gu Dong sat across from him, Tang Chen looked up lazily, and asked first, "Am I talking too much?" Without waiting for Gu Dong to speak, he continued to take care of himself: "But who knows what he cares about, I went to play with him since I was a child, but he ignored me, either studying or doing things, pretending to be a son in front of my father, making me useless, and now he says he likes me and treats me well. After being considered handsome, I simply don’t know what Tangou likes about me. I can’t do anything, I can’t study, I can’t do things. I just build a playground. I thought I succeeded, but I didn’t expect that my father and Tangou were behind the scenes to help.. …”

These words were contradictory, which showed that Tang Chen was also very conflicted.Gu Dong thought to himself that you know yourself quite well.

"I'm not familiar with Tang, and we haven't been together for long. In the yard, you've been with Tang for the longest time. You know him better than I do. You know better than me whether Tang did this because of his family property, and Tang Chen You will change the problem of being too mean in the future."

After hearing this, Tang Chen muttered softly: "Who knows him well?" But after finishing speaking, he scratched his hair and went back to the room irritatedly. Tang Chen's strange screams could be heard through the door.

In the yard, Yan Xuchuan was carrying two small cartoon schoolbags in his hand, the red Autobot was from a mushroom, and the cartoon frog was from a mushroom, and the two were waiting to go to the bathroom, and he said to Gu Dong, "Don't worry about him, I'll go back if I can't hold it in for a day." It was Tang Chen who said it.

Gu Dong nodded, mainly because the two brothers of the Tang family didn't seem to have any real feelings. Of course, no matter what the relationship is, they still want to reconcile.

"Okay Dongdong, here we come." Afraid that Dad and Dongdong would leave them out, Mr. Donggu hurried to the bathroom door and poked his head to see that the two were still in the yard. He turned his head and said to the inside: "Mushroom He Dongdong hasn't left yet, so take your time and take it easy."

"It's so jerky." The soft voice of the shiitake mushroom came.

Donggu's trousers were not pulled up properly, and they hung on his body twisted and twisted. He would use his fat claws to tidy himself up, and he knew how to hide in it shyly.Yan Xuchuan looked at him with a big head and lost his face. Gu Dong next to him was about to die of laughter when he saw this. He went to help Donggu put on his pants. His pants were holding his face, Gu Dong took a look, the underwear was not put on properly, no wonder it was uncomfortable.

Touching his two heads, he educated: "I told you to wait for you, don't worry, take your time, what if the two of you pee your pants?"

Dung Mushroom puffed out her small chest and proudly said: "I don't pee my pants." Then he hummed and said: "Dad just wants to go out with Dongdong, and doesn't want to take me at all, I know it all."

"You know that you will stick to it like a piece of sticky candy." Yan Xuchuan said lightly.

"Dongdong is not my father's, I will follow Dongdong, is it a mushroom?" Donggu turned his head to pull the camp.

Shiitake mushrooms nodded softly, "Baba cluck, let's play."

Gu Dong touched his two heads, "I'm going to study, and you two can't follow me." But seeing the pitiful cuteness of Donggu's fleshy face, he had to say: "Then you have to listen to Dad, and Shiitake listens to you." Uncle, be good."

Two nodding their heads.Yan Xuchuan put a cartoon bag on each of his hands, followed Gu Dong and said, "It's okay, I'll watch them both."

Gu Dong told his parents to go out to listen to the lecture, and Wang Ping told him: "Don't worry about nothing at home, study hard, and drive slowly on the road." Later, he told Yan Xuchuan, ever since he knew that Yan Xuchuan had a car accident, Every time before going out, Wang Ping would give instructions.

"Okay, Auntie." Yan Xuchuan thanked with a smile.

Seeing Yan Xuchuan being so gentle and polite, Wang Ping smiled unconsciously, "Mr. Yan, you are being polite. Xianggu has to listen to your uncle and brother when you go out. Be obedient, and see you at night."

"See you, grandma." Shiitake waved his small hand, and the other hand held Donggu's hand.

Donggu coquettishly said: "Grandma, you didn't say goodbye to me." The happy Wang Ping hurriedly praised Donggu and said goodbye to Donggu. Donggu waved his claws and blew kisses. Wang Ping cheerfully packed a small bag of washed strawberries for the two , "Eat in the car."

Every time I go out with my children for an outing, the two small schoolbags sitting behind are full of toys and snacks.After sitting down, Donggu shook his little fat legs, grabbed the strawberry in his hand and leaned over to feed Shiitake. Shiitake's soft face and bright eyes leaned over to nibble on the strawberry held by Donggu's claws.

"Sweet shiitake mushrooms?" Shigu asked.

Shiitake nodded softly: "Sweet, cluck."

Donggu took a bite, his eyes lit up, and stretched out his little fat claws to reach the front passenger, "Dongdong is so sweet."

Gu Dong turned his head and saw Donggu took off his seat belt and slid down. He had no choice but to lower his head and bite the strawberry in Donggu's hand, and said, "It's very sweet, thank you Donggu, go and sit down." Yan Xuchuan, who was driving next to him, was at this moment He opened his mouth, "Mushroom, let me have a taste."

"I'll get you dad." Donggu couldn't bear to eat the ones that Dongdong had eaten.

"It's in your hand." Yan Xuchuan didn't discuss it, slowed down and pulled over to the side. Donggu looked at his fleshy face and was reluctant, but his arms couldn't beat his father's thigh, so he held up the strawberry and handed it over, "Dad is annoying, Dongdong has eaten it before." .”

Yan Xuchuan ate the remaining half in one gulp, and pointedly glanced at Gu Dong who was sitting next to him.

"Very sweet." Seriously commented on the strawberry that gathered the whole family's drool, of course the focus was on Gu Dong's.

Gu Dong's ears were burning, "Are you obsessed with cleanliness now?" He used to help Donggu change diapers and wash his hands, wishing he could disinfect them again.

"Look at who." Yan Xuchuan looked at Gu Dong with deep meaning in his eyes, Gu Dong saw that the heat in his ears was about to spread to his cheeks, he turned his head to look at Donggu, "Sit down obediently, will you wear your seat belt? "

Donggu obediently returned to its original position, pulled the seat belt and said, "Dongdong, I will, the strawberry is so sweet, do you still want to eat it?"

"Don't eat, you and the mushrooms eat slowly."

Yan Xuchuan looked at Gu Dong's red earlobes, hooked the corners of his lips, the sweet taste of strawberries remained in his mouth, it was really a very sweet strawberry.

There were seven days of speeches, two of which were about Russian, the rest were speeches from other languages, and the other was a lecture by a professor from the School of Translating and Interpretation of Beijing University of Foreign Languages.There is no business in the small courtyard now, Gu Dong has all the tickets in his hand, so he came to listen every day. During this period, Yan Xuchuan took two to the company. He heard that the office address in Sunshine District was just being renovated. The yard will not be finished until June and July. Right now, Xianggu Entertainment is in the office building in the high-tech zone, not far from Y University.

Gu Dong has never been to Yan Xuchuan's office. In the past few days, Yan Xuchuan drove him to the school gate first, took two to go to work, and then he came to pick him up after listening to the speech in the afternoon, or had dinner together at noon, Continue to listen to the speech, then go back together or go to a nearby mall for a walk.

After two days of holding back in the yard, Tang Chen finally couldn't hold back and bought a plane ticket back to Kyoto.

This day is a lecture by a professor from Beijing University of Higher Education, and it is arranged at 07 o'clock in the morning.When Gu Dong arrived at 30:[-] in the morning, there was already a long queue at the door, which shows everyone's enthusiasm for this lecture.

Gu Dong was in the back row. When he entered the arena, the middle and front seats had already been selected, so he found a seat in the middle corner. The whole classroom, even the aisle, was full of students. When the professor arrived on time at eight o'clock, there was a lot of noise. The lecture hall fell silent for a moment.

This Professor Tian Gu Dong was only seen on the honor wall of the school's high school when he was in school. He was mainly a simultaneous interpreter. He is a very powerful person and has participated in many international simultaneous interpreting jobs.Therefore, in the explanation, use examples of problems that arise during work to analyze for everyone. The whole speech is practical and interesting.

"...that's the end of today's lecture. It's very interesting to communicate with you. If you like simultaneous interpretation, you can apply for our school if you are interested in simultaneous interpretation." Professor Tian said humorously, "I'm here too. Everyone, please tell me that, isn't that what you said?" The assistant next to him smiled and nodded.

The students below applauded and watched the professor leave.Gu Dong sat in his original position and looked away, bowed his head and sorted out his notes. The classmate next to him said excitedly: "After listening to the speech today, I really want to continue reading. The person who is faxing with me is a top person, so I am really curious."

"Stop dreaming, wake up quickly. Beijing Higher Education College, don't you know how many places you can apply for each year? You always know last year's score line, right? The minimum requirement for professional courses is 237 points, and the top student in our school got 398 points last year. , It turned out to be useless, and in the end I came back to study as a graduate student in our school, just think about it."

The female classmate who spoke just now was immediately shocked, and the courage of the Heat after the whole lecture was completely discouraged in front of the scores.Simultaneous interpretation not only requires English, but also requires the scores of the professional courses. Taking into account two languages ​​or multiple languages, it is very stressful to think about it.

"Forget it, let me talk about dreaming."

Gu Dong packed his schoolbag, stood up, looked at the two of them, and said, "If liking is a dream, you have to give it a try. You can't give up without hard work. Come on."

The two were stunned for a moment, Gu Dong smiled and left with his bag on his back.After the two of them reacted, the girl who spoke first thought for a while, shed her passion and impetuosity just now, and said to her friend: "That handsome guy just now is right, we have to give it a try, we are only sophomores , Now start to review and supervise each other, always try to work hard together."

It wasn't that I didn't have any ideas in my heart, but I was afraid of failure, and my goal was set too high, and I subconsciously denied myself. Now I hear my friend say that, and I suddenly feel like fighting hard.

What if the dream comes true?Even if you don't succeed, you won't regret it.

One day in the future, the two will become senior translators. Even though they did not go to the high translation institute of their dreams to be simultaneous interpreters, they are still satisfied. Thinking of the speech and the handsome guy in the white shirt who encouraged them to work hard, if there is no such The first oath and mutual supervision afterwards, the two may spend four years in college in a daze, come out to take the exam for a civil servant, or change careers to become teachers to do something else, the original dream of applying for Y University has long since disappeared... .

Of course, no one knows the future at this moment, including Gu Dong, who doesn't know that his casual words will have such a big impact on the two of them.Not long after he left the house, he received a call from Zhang Lingling.

"Hello, Miss Zhang." Gu Dong said politely on the phone.Zhang Lingling is one and a half years older than him, so it's not wrong to call him that.

But Zhang Lingling didn't like it very much anymore, and said with a smile: "I don't know if you should call it that way. Even if we have no drama, we can't call it this way. A straight guy like you won't be liked by young ladies."

Gu Dong didn't know how to answer the phone.

Zhang Lingling also guessed it, and said directly: "The teacher asked me to call you. There is a dinner at noon today. He will leave tomorrow and wants to meet you."

"Okay, let me treat you to dinner." Gu Dong agreed.After hanging up the phone, he called Yan Xuchuan and said that he would have lunch with a professor at noon, and he could only apologize for the lunch appointment.

"It's okay, you eat well, it's just that the mushroom is losing its temper, I'll just pat it twice." Yan Xuchuan said.

Gu Dong heard Mushroom's crunchy and upright voice on the phone saying: "Dongdong, eat obediently. I didn't lose my temper. It's because my father is jealous——hmm, Susu is holding her mouth shut." The voice of Mushroom .

"Yan Xuchuan, you really—" Gu Dong didn't know what to say while holding the phone.

"Don't listen to that fat mushroom talking nonsense, eat well and I won't bother you anymore." Yan Xuchuan said calmly after grabbing the phone.

Gu Dong was worried, and said, "You won't hang up the phone and squeeze the mushrooms, will you?"

"Don't worry, of course I won't pinch it." Yan Xuchuan's voice on the phone was full of assurance from the president.

"Well, see you this afternoon. I'll send you a message when I'm done." Gu Dong didn't say much, and hung up the phone to go to the restaurant Zhang Lingling mentioned.

On the other end of the phone, as soon as Yan Xuchuan put down the phone, Donggu hugged Yan Xuchuan's thigh with his fleshy arms in an instant, and Xianggu next to him was stunned, but his body followed his brother's rhythm, and hugged Yan Xuchuan's other thigh.

Donggu coquettishly said loudly: "Dad, I like you the most, I am your own son!"

"Susu, I love you! Kiss my son!" Xianggu said softly without thinking.

Yan Xuchuan raised his hands and said with a smile: "Just now I promised Gu Dong not to pinch you—" Donggu's tense fleshy face suddenly loosened, but the next second Yan Xuchuan's big hand rested on Donggu's soft hair, "But I didn't say you can't squeeze it!" He rubbed it hard.

Donggu has a chicken coop hairstyle that exploded, and his mouth is pursed, but he didn't cry. He knew that crying in front of his father is useless all these years ago!Heheng said: "Dongdong likes me the most!" Then he was squeezed again, and the mushrooms next to him were stunned, pointing to his head, and slowly stroking his brother's head with his little hand, "Shut up! !"

The restaurant Zhang Lingling mentioned is on the fourth floor of the y cafeteria. There is a small stir-fried rice. In the middle is the public dining area. Usually, some wealthy students will come here to eat, and the few boxes next to it are used by teachers and leaders who are responsible for entertaining.

When Gu Dong arrived, Zhang Lingling was waiting at the elevator entrance.

"Is there anyone else?" He originally thought it was a simple dinner with the old gentleman Zhang Lingling, but seeing that Zhang Lingling picked him up at the door, he felt that it was a bit complicated.

"In addition to the teacher, there are two other professors, both of whom are friends of the teacher. I didn't say anything on the phone just now because I was afraid that you wouldn't come." Seeing Gu Dong's hesitation on his face, Zhang Lingling said quickly: "It's just a simple meal without you. It’s a complicated thought, the teacher is kind enough to recommend you some professors, and seeing a few more professors will help you in the future, even if you don’t mention this, listening to the professors speak at the dinner table is also very beneficial.”

Gu Dong doesn't like to make deals behind the scenes. It doesn't matter if he can have dinner alone with the old man or treat guests, because they know a coincidence, and the old man gave him a lot of encouragement by giving him tickets.But hearing that Zhang Lingling had already said that, and it was the old man's kindness again, Gu Dong was not just a stick of ignorant of the world, so he nodded and thanked him immediately.

"It doesn't matter to me. It's because the teacher likes you and values ​​you. Okay, let's go in first." Zhang Lingling took Gu Dong to the box, and there were only the two of them in it. Zhang Lingling was in charge of arranging the dishes. Seeing that the teacher had not come yet , and said: "Let me introduce to you in advance, one is Professor Xu from Nanjing University of Foreign Studies, and the other is Professor Tian from Beijing University of Foreign Studies. Restraint, Professor Xu is a bit serious, and straightforward, Professor Tian is very humorous..."

After a while the three professors arrived, and Gu Dong and Zhang Lingling got up to greet them.

"I know Zhang Zhuxue, who is this? Old Li, you have recruited your favorite student to show off to us!?" Professor Tian said with a smile.

The old professor asked everyone to sit down, pulled Gu Dong to sit next to him, and said with a smile: "Gu Dong, I told you two that the little boss of the Donggu Small Yard is a good cook, a good person, and he is serious and practical in his studies. Talent, yes, it’s very stubborn, I said to report it to me, but I never said anything, I don’t know how to refuse, so I just didn’t say it, and I’m very similar to Old Xu, and I can’t hide my bad thoughts.”

After a phone call, he introduced Gu Dong and brought the two professors closer.

Gu Dong greeted the two professors with a smile.Professor Xu nodded, and his original serious look eased a lot, saying: "If you want to do a good job, you must not be too narrow-minded, otherwise you will not be able to take care of everything."

"That's right." Professor Tian nodded.

When the dishes came, they moved their chopsticks, and the three teachers chatted about everything, whether the dishes were delicious or salty, how the flowers were growing, and they also cared about Zhang Lingling's work. I have an internship, and I have found an internship unit, which is the translation agency introduced by the old man.Of course, I also asked Gu Dong how to get to the Donggu Courtyard. When he learned that the Donggu Courtyard is currently closed, he said it was not a coincidence. After that, the topic came to each other's work.

Professor Tian is a substitute teacher at Beijing Foreign University, but in fact the focus is on simultaneous interpretation work, and sometimes leads the team to participate in some international conferences.When it came to the end, I couldn't help but sigh: "....Now there are fewer and fewer good seedlings doing simultaneous interpretation, mainly because I can't make up my mind."

Originally, the three of them were chatting at the dinner table. Gu Dong and Zhang Lingling were mentioned to speak a few words, and at other times they just listened to the professors and ate vegetables as a backdrop.As soon as Professor Tian finished sighing, the old man said: "Little Gu is a good young man, rare among his peers."

So his eyes fell on Gu Dong, Gu Dong quickly swallowed what was in his mouth and took a sip of water, then said: "Sir, you praised me."

"This kid is also modest." The old man said with a smile.

Gu Dong: I was so praised that I couldn't continue talking.

Professor Tian understood that Lao Li just wanted to introduce this kid during this dinner, but he didn't feel disgusted. If he really is the good seed that Lao Li said, then he has an impression, and he will not be buried if he really tests his ability in the future. , if he has no skills, fails the national written test, and fails to pass that test, there is nothing he can do.

"Xiao Gu, where did you study in college? Listen to what Lao Li said, you want to continue studying in the future, where do you want to take the exam?"

The old man was afraid that Gu Dong would be embarrassed. He forgot to tell his friend that the child was self-taught without going to university. Just as he was about to speak, Gu Dong first said: "Three years ago, I studied Russian at a university outside Beijing for more than half a year. Now I am self-study, and I want to try it in the future." Try the high school.

"Then why don't you read it anymore?" The old gentleman was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect that Gu Dong had ever been to school.

Gu Dong smiled, "Some personal reasons."

Professor Tian, ​​who was the first to ask the question, didn't speak, with a bit of hesitation on his face, and Professor Xu next to him said, "What's the matter? You seem to know each other."

"I just remembered something, it's nothing." Professor Tian's frowning brows disappeared, and he changed the topic and talked about something else.

When the dinner was over, Professor Xu and the old gentleman went to the bathroom, Zhang Lingling paid the bill, and when only Gu Dong and Professor Tian were left on the table, Professor Tian asked, "Is Xiao Gu the champion of the Russian language competition in xx?" He sat next door and listened to the senior class. After the end, many teachers told him that the champion of the junior class was a good seed, but he was only a freshman. Professor Tian thought that if he had talent and ambition, he would wait and see in the third and fourth year. It's not too late to wait and see, so I only remember the surname Gu, not the name.

When I thought about it later, when I asked again, everyone kept secret. This classmate Gu seemed to have disappeared, and then Professor Tian heard some gossip about this young classmate Gu, which was related to the Yan family, and there were various versions at the end.

Gu Dong didn't deny it, and nodded.Professor Tian didn't explain directly at the dinner table just now, maybe he guessed it was him and left him privacy.Gu Dong didn't need to think about what kind of rumors there would be when he left the school. After all, Yan Xuchuan made their relationship public in front of everyone.

"Work hard, as Old Xu said, people who focus on learning have nothing else to do." Professor Tian patted Gu Dong on the shoulder, seeing the child today, he did not believe those malicious rumors.

Gu Dong was moved and knew that Professor Tian believed him.

"Thank you."

Zhang Lingling, who had finished paying the bill at the door, heard the conversation. She didn't expect that Professor Tian knew Gu Dong.When the teacher's wife introduced Gu Dong to her before, she said that he was a down-to-earth, capable and motivated person. Zhang Lingling was actually a little unhappy when she heard that she was self-taught without a college degree, but she believed in the character of the teacher and the teacher's mother, and she checked the Donggu Xiaoyuan online. She received good reviews and said that the little boss is handsome, and her family is in Yuncheng, and her parents hope that she will return to work after finishing her studies, so marrying a local is a good option.

She is old and married for the second time, and her appearance is not outstanding. She doesn't have many choices in the marriage and love market. She thinks that it's better for a young boy to be able to handle him after he grows up. It's better than some middle-aged men with successful careers. Uncle is strong.Later, when I met Gu Dong, he was not interested in her. Zhang Lingling thought it would be fine. She has a degree, and her job won't be too bad in the future.

But now she was a little hesitant. It seemed that Professor Tian had a good impression of Gu Dong.Now that Gu Dong doesn't have any academic qualifications, it's hard to guarantee the future. She's been thinking about it for a long time. It's hard to chase after Gu Dong. She happens to have a year left in her second year of graduate school.

When they parted, Zhang Lingling took out a stack of documents from her bag.

"This is the material that the teacher made during the lecture. I printed it out just so you can use it. There are also some materials and books I bought in college. If you want it, I will give it to you next time."

Gu Dong accepted the documents and thanked him, saying, "Sir, don't you go back tomorrow? Just forget about the books, thank you."

"I'm going to practice right away. The teacher gave me a long vacation when I came back this time, and I won't go back until June." Zhang Lingling said with a smile: "And don't call me Miss Zhang, this is too exaggerated. By the way, go back Remember to turn over the information."

Gu Dong put the materials in his schoolbag, nodded when he heard the words, followed Zhang Lingling out of the school, sent Zhang Lingling to the car first, and then called Yan Xuchuan.
