Golden Pink Building

The next morning, Qingqiu got into the car and went to school as usual. Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the entrance of the alley, a rickshaw came over: "It's classmate Leng, what a coincidence we met. It must be that my aunt told you last night , that house needs to be repaired, and I don't want to live in my uncle's house, so I just moved here. I also want to go to school today, let's go together." Bai Shaoyi greeted Qingqiu very familiarly with a casual face.

Qingqiu didn't expect Bai Shaoyi to be generous, so he nodded with a smile: "It turned out to be Mr. Bai. I heard my mother mention it last night, and I thought it was someone with the same surname. I just wondered why Mr. Bai didn't live in the big house. He came here to live in a snail's nest." As he said that, Han Jiuguan pulled the car and ran quickly.Two rickshaws ran out of the city in the morning light, along the way Qingqiu and Bai Shaoyi were not talking, they were sitting in their own cars, they were not the ones chatting on the street at the top of their voices.The two of them arrived at the gate of the school quickly without talking all the way.

Han Jiuguan wiped his sweat with a towel: "It's still early today, girl, go in quickly. In the afternoon, I'll pick up the girl and go home as usual." Qingqiu nodded and told Han Jiuguan: "Be careful not to run too fast on the way back. Be careful, it’s hot.” ​​As she spoke, she took out some money from the bag and gave it to Han Jiuguan: “Here’s some sugar and rendan for you, be careful not to suffer from heat stroke.” Han Jiuguan felt a little embarrassed, “Madam has already paid extra wages , I can’t earn four yuan a month even if I go out to pull a cart every day, and the girl still wants to reward money, so I have no place to put my face.”

Qingqiu handed the money to Han Jiuguan: "That's the salary you deserve, the hot weather can't be compared to usual." Han Jiuguan accepted the money with a smile, and huddled into a ball with irrelevant smiles on his face: "It's done, thank you girl Thank you. I'll go first. Wait for a few days to cool down, I'll take the girl for a walk around the West Mountain, or go to the park, Beihai Temple of Heaven is fine." Qingqiu watched Han Jiuguan leave, and walked into the school gate with her bag Unexpectedly, Bai Shaoyi waved his fan unhurriedly and stood inside the door looking at her with a half-smile.

"I think your coachman will definitely not go back with an empty car for nothing, and he can earn a lot of money by just taking a seat into the city. The tip you gave him is superfluous." Bai Shaoyi has nothing to say, he has already seen it When getting out of the car, Qingqiu talked to the coachman on purpose, just to not go with him. "You man, I just thought I didn't understand the world. In fact, I didn't know that Han Jiuguan would not go back with an empty car. It's just that he didn't have to pull the car so far every day. My mother gave him extra money, and I Or subsidize some, which is also the meaning of understanding his hard work. Han Jiuguan is an honest man, he will take care of the money, this place is strangely far from home, and I will be satisfied if he can pull the cart with all his heart." Qingqiu glanced at Bai Shaoyi , couldn't help complaining: "You have a lot of servants in the family, but you don't know anything about it. You are really stupid in reading."

Bai Shaoyi didn't get angry at Qingqiu's teasing, laughed and said, "I didn't expect you to be so proficient in housework, I admire you. Don't worry, I often come to school these days, we will go together, Han Jiuguan didn't dare to procrastinate on the road. My driver has a problem. He pulls the car slowly by himself. If he meets passers-by, it will be much faster. I can also stop wasting time on the road, can I have the best of both worlds?"

Without waiting for Qingqiu to express his opinion, a young man walked towards him. "Hello, student Leng. I haven't congratulated you yet on being admitted to university. Congratulations, school hasn't started yet, why are you here?"

The hairs on Bai Shaoyi's body stood up, and he had a warm smile on his face, but he had already knocked Ouyang Yujian down in his heart. "Who is this?" Bai Shaoyi pretended to be confused, and asked who the person in front of Qingqiu was.

This is my middle school teacher Ouyang Yujian.This is——Qingqiu didn't finish speaking, Bai Shao enthusiastically stretched out his hand: "I have admired you for a long time, Mr. Ouyang is a talented person in the school. It's just that you didn't finish your studies and became a teacher instead. Your grades are very good, too. It's a pity. I am Bai Xiongfei, a new teacher at the school. If you want to continue your studies in the future, I can help you. I am also in the law school. Welcome to discuss academics." Ouyang Yujian's face froze, and his expression was a little weird: "Professor Bai Hello, my family really can't support my studies anymore, not every child in this world can complete their studies according to their wishes." Ouyang Yujian reluctantly shook hands with Bai Shaoyi, turned to Qingqiu and said: "I I have something to do at school, I heard that you are helping out in the publishing house, how about I go to you later." Saying that, Ouyang Yujian left in a hurry.

Bai Shaoyi looked at Ouyang Yujian's back and was a little puzzled: "This man is very proud. Who did he teach you at school?" Qingqiu did not expect that the always gentle teacher Ouyang also had a sharp side. Although Ouyang Yujian didn't say it was out of the ordinary However, his demeanor and words revealed a cynical feeling. "Teacher Ouyang taught Chinese at school, and he is a very good teacher. It turns out that he is a top student in the law department." Qingqiu couldn't help but feel emotional, if Teacher Ouyang can complete his studies, he must have made a big difference.

"Maybe his pursuit is not to find a good job. I'll take a step first." Bai Shaoyi bid farewell to Qingqiu and took another fork in the road.When eating at noon, Qingqiu came down from upstairs and saw Ouyang Yujian waiting downstairs, Xiao Sun saw Ouyang and said with a smile: "I'll go first, you can talk slowly." Xiao Sun waved his hand Bounced away.

Ouyang Yujian stepped forward and took out a small box from his pocket: "Congratulations on being named on the list, please accept it if you have any kindness." Qingqiu looked at the box in Ouyang Yujian's hand, hesitating.It stands to reason that she should give gifts to the teachers for being famous on the list, and thank the teachers for their training. Why did Ouyang Yujian give her gifts instead? "Mr. taught us so hard. It should be the students who thank you. How can a master give students gifts. I dare not accept this." Qingqiu politely declined Ouyang's gift.

"Aren't you disgusted? The pen inside is old, but it has been with me for these years. I have no other intentions. I just encourage you to study hard and don't waste your precious time. Are you disgusted if you don't want to accept it? Is it old?" Qingqiu raised her eyebrows subconsciously, she couldn't complain in her heart, how did I know what you gave, and she hated the old and the new.As a student, how could she ask for something from the teacher.But Ouyang said that if you don’t accept it, you look down on me. Qingqiu misses the days when he studied with Jia Yucun in Yangzhou City.

The world has changed, why have the teachers changed?In the end, Qingqiu could only accept Ouyang Yujian's kindness. She held the small box, feeling like she was holding hot coals that were about to burn red, and quickly put the box in her bag. "How about I treat you to dinner?" Ouyang Yujian saw that she had accepted his gift with a relaxed expression on his face, and wanted to invite Qingqiu to dinner.

"No, Xiao Sun and I make dinner outside every day. Why don't I invite Mr., I'm still a poor student, and I can't hold a grand teacher appreciation banquet. If you don't mind, sir, come with me." Qingqiu Even if you don't want to take things for nothing, you can't afford a good restaurant, but you can still have a light meal.

Waiting for Qingqiu to enter the small restaurant, Xiao Sun sat there and waved to Qingqiu: "I thought you went to a big restaurant to eat meat. Come and sit down, there are delicious dishes today!"

Ouyang Yujian is very talkative. At the dinner table, he talked about an ideal society, democracy and equality, and world trends. He spoke impassionedly.Xiao Sun half-understood what he heard, Qingqiu didn't intervene, and listened very seriously with his head down. "Mr. Ouyang's words are really good, but unfortunately I don't understand most of them. Mr. is such a learned teacher in a middle school, it's too condescending." Ouyang stared at Qingqiu who lowered his head and said: "Do you think I can still keep my ears open in the ivory tower?" Do you want to read books outside the window? Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. It is our youth’s responsibility to overthrow the old society and bury all the unreasonable systems.”

"Mr. has great ambitions, and I have little knowledge. I just want to study hard. Fortunately, I can help here this summer vacation, and the family is more relaxed." Qingqiu feels that Ouyang Yujian is full of ideals, but things in the world are not Ideal can be realized.Ouyang Yujian can graduate first when he is a university student. It is better to have experience in the society than empty talk every day.

"You are also brainwashed by those who care about you every day. I said that if you want to create a new atmosphere, you must break with the old atmosphere and the old culture. You used to be a girl who knew how to make progress. Why did you bury yourself in the pile of old papers for a few days? Qingqiu you You should look farther and look forward!" Ouyang Yujian looked at Qingqiu sadly, as if she had made a big mistake.

"But I'm just a girl, and I'm still a student. Can I go to the Congress to give a speech, or can I be a minister, or a feudal official to govern one side. I am very content now. Doesn't the husband also encourage me and tell me to work hard?" Do you want to study?" Qingqiu knows the situation in front of her, and in this era, she can make her own decisions and decide what life she wants to live, Qingqiu is already very satisfied.

"You, forget it, I recommend you some books, those old and rotten books should not be read. Your thinking is still stuck in 100 years ago! You are a college student, and you consciously apply feudal ethics to yourself, Qingqiu, Equality between men and women is also a part of freedom and human rights." Ouyang Yu Jian hated that iron cannot be made of steel.

Ouyang left in a hurry after lunch. When he got off work at night, Qingqiu met Bai Shaoyi at the school gate. They just said hello and got into the car. Han Jiuguan seemed to be competing with Bai Shaoyi's driver along the way. They returned smoothly Arrived at Luohua Hutong, a quarter of an hour faster than usual.The setting sun stretched the shadow very long, Bai Shaoyi bid farewell to Qingqiu at the entrance of the alley, and turned into Menquan Alley.Many neighbors who had dinner early were enjoying the shade outside, they all greeted Bai Shaoyi politely, and even the children playing in the shade of trees at the base of the wall followed Bai Shaoyi's car, chasing long shadows.

Turning around the alley, Han Jiuguan wiped off his sweat and heard greetings and children's laughter behind him, "This Mr. Bai has no airs, and he is generally friendly when he meets people. People say that people who go abroad to drink foreign ink are almost like a Juren." No, I didn't expect Mr. Bai to have no airs at all."

Qingqiu didn't expect that Bai Shaoyi, who was born in a noble family, would have such a side. "Mr. Bai has always been approachable, so don't talk about him behind his back. Is mom okay at home?" Qingqiu changed the subject, subconsciously she didn't want to mention Bai Shaoyi.After getting along with him for a long time, Qingqiu can't see through Bai Shaoyi.Knowing that he is an extremely elegant person, but he can get along with all the traffickers and pawns, and he is also kind to the common people in the market.He used to pursue Qingqiu enthusiastically, but after being rejected by Qingqiu, as if nothing happened, he changed from an enthusiastic pursuer to a kind and friendly teacher.

"The girl will know when she gets home, but something good will happen." Han Jiuguan turned to look at Qingqiu mysteriously.

It turned out that someone came to propose marriage!Qingqiu couldn't believe it listening to Mrs. Leng's words: "Mrs. Zhang over there in the alley came to talk about a matchmaker. She was talking about the young master of a colleague's family in their husband's office. He is also a college student and will graduate this year. Their family wants to give a match as soon as possible. The son got married. He said that he would let him go as soon as he got a good look and get married. I asked about their family's situation carefully, and it was considered a good match. It's just that you are going to start a family just after school, so I want to ask what you mean."

Qingqiu's face became hot, and she felt the sweat pores on her body sweating out together. The girl's natural shyness made Qingqiu lower her head and blushed: "What does Mom say?" The female students are screaming at the sky that they want to fall in love freely and marry independently, why are they still shy? Mrs. Zhang said that her hometown is also in the south, and their master is an official here, and an older sister in the family is also married , this is the youngest son. He went to school in Shanghai, and he wants to go back to Beijing to find a job. I think the old roots are in the south, and the living habits are the same. Their aunt and grandma have gone out, so there is no need to worry about sister-in-law and sister-in-law I quietly asked his wife about her temperament, and she is also an honest person. Although you go to school, but have you ever thought about it, you will be old after graduation. I want to make a decision first, and delay the marriage One year, even if you have a child and take a year off from school." Mrs. Leng was a little tempted when she heard Mrs. Zhang's words.

"Mom, what are you talking about! I haven't seen that person before, and he has already graduated, so there is absolutely no reason to ask him to wait for four years. I studied hard not to rely on men, but to rely on myself in the future. Take care of your mother. Let's push this matter off." Qingqiu knew that her mother was planning for her, but she didn't want to marry herself off casually.

When Mrs. Leng saw her daughter rejecting it straight away, she let it go: "Okay, I don't have to worry about it." The matter of proposing marriage was put on hold by the mother and daughter of the Leng family.

It's a pity that the tree wants to be quiet and the wind doesn't stop. On the second day, Qingqiu didn't have to go to the publishing house on vacation. She took a shower, sat on the rattan chair in the yard to dry her hair, and was fascinated by a book, but Han Ma led a came in.Ouyang Yujian came with some books. "These are books with new ideas. Don't turn over old papers all day long. I think you can memorize Wang Wei's poems backwards. The future will definitely be the era of new style poems. Your thoughts will be bound by rhythm." Ouyang disliked She glanced at the collection of Wang Wei's poems that Qingqiu put on the chair, and pushed the hardcover book in her hand into her hand.

Qingqiu looked at the book in his hand dumbfounded, Ouyang Yujian didn't just talk about it, he actually sent the book. "Sir, I—" Qingqiu was holding these books and was about to return them to Ouyang, but her hands were grabbed by a pair of big hands.Ouyang's eyes were burning hot, he stared at Qingqiu and lowered his voice: "I hope there is a like-minded woman to live with me hand in hand. Qingqiu, I hope that person is you! Do you want to be with me?"

"Mother Han, are you girls at home? The editor-in-chief told me to give this to your girls." Bai Shaoyi's voice came suddenly, and he was let in by Mother Han holding a box: "Ouyang Yujian, what a coincidence. Leng, when did you become interested in Western philosophy? In fact, as a beginner, I suggest you read the history of Greek philosophy first."
