Taoyuan little fisherman

Chapter 42 Professor Ding is Here

Yujia Village is too small, and it won't take long for the whole village to know about one thing.

When Wang Tianhui returned home, he saw a black car parked outside the courtyard. The villagers watching the excitement had already filled the courtyard with water.

Some people came here specifically to ask about equipment, and seeing Chen Ergou and Yang Dajun making money, these people couldn't hold back for a long time.

There were still some unpicked dates on the old jujube trees in the yard, and flower buds appeared on those bare branches, and small blue dates had grown on the branches where the first batch of dates were picked.

It seems that this catty of spiritual mud is indeed full of nutrients, and the old jujube tree is a little bit full.

The old jujube tree, which should have flourished at the end of July, has flowers, leaves and fruits, and has become a unique scenery in the village.

The emerald green leaves, small flowers with light flowers, and green and red fruits are simple and towering, like a sacred tree.

People in the village have long been familiar with this old jujube tree that keeps blooming and bearing fruit.

But Ding Simin, who is a professor of biology, looked at it, and his expression was as if he saw a god. Since he entered the courtyard of Wang's house, until Wang Tianhui came back, he never lowered his upturned head.

"It's amazing, what is the reason for it to bloom and bear fruit in this season?"

Everyone stared at Professor Ding, but Professor Ding stared at the old jujube tree as if no one else was there, and kept sighing.

"Tianhui, where did you go so early in the morning? The professors from the city have been waiting for you for a long time!"

As soon as Wang Tianhui squeezed through the crowd to enter the hospital, his mother Xu Huifang walked over quickly and dragged Wang Tianhui under the old jujube tree.

"Professor Ding, you are here."

After so many years, Professor Ding has gray hair all over his head. Thinking of his witty remarks on the university podium, it seems like yesterday.

Hearing Wang Tianhui's voice, Professor Ding temporarily looked away from the old jujube tree.

"Xiao Wang, it really is you! We meet again!"

Seeing Wang Tianhui, Professor Ding's eyes lighted up, which showed that his deep impression on Wang Tianhui was not just a formality.

"Professor Ding, sit in the room!" Wang Tianhui asked Professor Ding to come in.

"That's right, there's no reason to let guests stand outside the door. I've already made the tea, let's go in."

"Yes, yes, let's go into the room and talk."

Wang Shanhe and his wife warmly invited them with pride on their faces.

"Thank you Mr. Wang and Mrs. Wang for your kindness. I want to see more of this jujube tree. Let's stay in the yard. It's good."

"Okay, okay, then I'll pour tea."

Professor Ding, Wang Shanhe and Wang Tianhui sat around a round table under the jujube tree. Xu Huifang brought out hot tea, and the three chatted while drinking tea.

Xu Huifang was not interested in their conversation, so she went directly outside the courtyard to chat with her neighbors.

"Hui Fang, this old man is really a professor in the city? He is different from us rural people. He looks like a cultural person." Grandma Xu next door whispered, and the people around nodded in agreement.

"Of course it is. This is our Tianhui university professor. What kind of biologist is he? He's quite famous!" Xu Huifang said proudly.

"Your family Tianhui is really amazing. A few days ago, the leaders of the town came to look for them, and now the professors from the city are looking for them again. Wouldn't it be a pity to put such talents in the village?" said the fat aunt on the second floor.

"Auntie Fat, Tianhui is called not forgetting his roots. Why does he leave a good job in the city and go back to our small fishing village? Can't you understand?" Erzhuzi squeezed over to grab the conversation.

"Why... why?" Fat Aunt looked puzzled.

"He Tianhui came back to help us. Without him, Brother Changshan, would he be able to call back all the brick-moving people in the town?"

"Don't talk about others, let's talk about Uncle Ergou. Yesterday, he earned five or six hundred a day. He caught up with the village's half-year subsistence allowance. Did he dare to think about such a day before?"

"That's right, if you can stay at home with your parents and family and have income, who wants to go out?"

Several young men scrambled to speak for Wang Tianhui, all with expressions of admiration.

Everyone nodded after listening.

"That's right. Before, we thought Tianhui was expelled from him. It turned out that he came back for our village. It's really amazing."

"I'm sorry Huifang, don't worry about my nonsense before, Tianhui is the best kid in our village!"

Those daughter-in-laws who had gossiped about Wang Tianhui all apologized to Xu Huifang, for fear that she would be angry with them and something good in the village would fall to their family in the future.

"They all live in the same village. You can't see them when you look up. There's nothing to be angry about. Our family is not like that."

Hearing what Xu Huifang said, everyone was relieved.

"Look quickly, what is that thing that Brother Tianhui brought over?"

A young man yelled, drawing everyone's attention back to the courtyard.

Wang Tianhui moved the jade clam out of the house, wrapped it in soft cloth several times, put it on the round table, opened it layer by layer, Professor Ding stood up excitedly, and took out the magnifying glass from his pocket .

The last layer of soft cloth was opened, and the jade clams glowing white in the sun revealed the whole picture.

"It's so beautiful! It's so beautiful! Tianhui, this is even more beautiful than the photo!"

Professor Ding was as excited as a child who finally got his long-cherished toy, and immediately threw himself into the observation of the jade clam, and immediately entered a state of ecstasy.

Seeing the jade clam, there was quite a commotion among the surrounding villagers.

"Is this shell so big? It's a pity that it's empty. If there is meat, it will be worth a lot of money."

"This snow-white one is so beautiful, it can be used as two basins when you break it apart."

"The people in the city just don't know much about it. It's just a big shell. Why is it so strange?"

"If I saw such a big thing, I would definitely not pick it up. It's dead weight. If you want to spend a few dollars in a pot, you can't buy it."

……

Listening to everyone's discussion, Xu Huifang couldn't help laughing.

If these guys knew that the shells sold for 30 yuan, wouldn't they be scared to death?
"Okay! That's great! Tianhui, you really did a great job!"

Professor Ding, who had done some research on giant clams, couldn't help but praise Wang Tianhui again, his eyes were red with excitement.

"This giant clam fossil is of great significance to the study of paleontology. There are no such ancient marine fossils in the city museum. We can use it to learn more about paleontology and gain a deeper understanding of the more ancient marine environment. Tianhui, I don't know." I know how to thank you."

Professor Ding held Wang Tianhui's hand excitedly, and his gratitude was beyond words.

"Professor Ding, don't say that, hasn't the research institute already paid me 30 yuan?"

When they heard 30, the surrounding villagers let out a collective exclamation, as if someone had dropped a bomb among them.

"How much...how much?!"

Everyone thought they heard it wrong, and they were all asking Xu Huifang for confirmation.

"Three! Ten! Ten thousand!" Xu Huifang suppressed a smile and repeated it word by word to everyone.

The crowd was amazed again. The villagers who lived in the small fishing village all their lives lived a life of self-sufficiency and could not care less about spending money. 30 yuan was simply an astronomical figure for them.
