Arty Records

Because he was leaving early the next morning, Fang Sishen lay down early.However, there was no sleepiness, and he lay on the bed with his eyes wide open. It seemed that there were countless things to think about, but his mind seemed to be forcibly hollowed out by something, and he was at a loss.Simply got up, opened the packed backpack, took out everything and rearranged.Turning to the map of Hejin printed from the Internet, as if touched by something, I sat down at the desk and turned on the computer, and searched for relevant tourist information and documents on Taishigong’s hometown.

Although I have searched a lot before, but the Internet resources are abundant, and I search carefully, and there are still new discoveries.Fang Sishen quickly plunged into it, selecting copies while saving and organizing them.

When you don’t know what to do, just focus on the most urgent and specific thing at hand.This is one of Fang Sishen's basic life experiences.

Because he was too focused, he knocked on the door several times before he came back to his senses.

Opening the door, Gao Chengcheng was holding a lunch box with a flattering smile on his face: "Xiao Fang, borrow your tools and ingredients to cook a supper." As he said that, people had already squeezed in sideways.

Reach out and don't hit the smiling face.Fang Sishen couldn't do the advanced skills of flirting face to face and making people quit in spite of difficulties.He also went back to the table, sat down silently, and let Gao Chengcheng take the lead in turning his back on the familiar road, and was busy working over there.

"Xiao Fang, are you... going out?" Seeing the backpack on the bed and the things spread out on the quilt, Gao Chengcheng asked hesitantly.

"Ah."

"Xiao Fang, you, don't be like this." Gao Chengcheng thought that Fang Sishen was impulsive and wanted to go out to relax because of his depression. He couldn't help feeling guilty and worried, and walked to the computer desk. I also set off to go back to my hometown. There is no one who does everything possible to go back to the reunion. You say you, why run away instead, alas!..."

"Senior Brother Gao, you misunderstood."

Hearing that Gao Chenggong returned to the original address, his rich expression froze for a moment, looking very ridiculous.

"It's the winter vacation of No. [-] High School. Go there for a week."

Ever since Gao Chengcheng ran into his younger sister, Fang Sishen has told the truth about his weekend work.Now that I think about it, my father probably knew about it a long time ago.

Gao Chengcheng suddenly reacted: "Don't worry, I will pass it on to Professor Fang."

Fang Sishen didn't mean that at all, but he seemed to mean that when he woke up so little.The fingers typing on the keyboard stopped and remained still.

"Xiao Fang, I'm sorry." Gao Chengcheng looked at his silent profile, took two steps back, and sat down on the edge of the bed, "As a senior, I really have bad intentions. Ever since I found out about Professor Fang's relationship with you, I had another chance When we met, I specifically mentioned you to him... You also know that Lao Kou occupied the only post-doctoral place in Professor Zhang's hands, and there were several Ph. After leaving our school and looking at the capital city, the Higher Humanities College is the best choice for liberal arts students. Besides, I have been working on the "Gold and Silk Project" and went to other places. If I don't get it right, it will be in vain. Me too Forced to have no choice but to go to the doctor in a hurry, I thought of trying this road..."

As the graduation time approaches, there are more and more gossip rumors about the fierce struggle among the senior doctorate brothers and sisters, the private tributes given by Ming, those who squatted on the threshold, those who climbed the head of the bed, those who stumbled in secret, and publicly scolded... It's hard for Fang Sishen not to know.Self-recommendation and recommendation have always been a tradition in the academic circle, and the difference is only in emphasizing human affection or talent.Gao Chengcheng's actions are reasonable and understandable.

"I didn't expect Professor Fang to have no opinion of the sect, not only let me participate in the related projects of the 'Golden Silk Project', but also guided me without reservation..."

"Senior Brother Gao," Fang Sishen interrupted his lyricism, "This is your personal matter, you don't need to explain it to me."

"Xiao Fang, I shouldn't have lied to you. I've been thinking that when things settle down next semester, I'll find a suitable opportunity to talk to you." In a sense, the School of Humanities is equivalent to betrayal, and it is only suitable for low-key activities.

"Senior Brother Gao," Fang Sishen turned his face away, and said slowly, "With your talent, it will be a matter of time before you get appreciated. In my opinion, where you go after graduation is purely a personal decision, even if the person you find is my father. , and I can’t even talk about cheating or not. Unless...it involves my personal affairs. Brother, can you tell me that my father really only talks to you about learning?"

"Of course not. Your father cares about you very much and often asks me about you..."

"Is it true that everything is meticulous and meticulous? Is it because I ask you to take good care of me? Is it because you are not allowed to reveal the slightest bit of information?" There was a hint of sharpness in the calm questioning.

"...Yes, after all..."

"Then from now on, please Senior Brother Gao, don't bother so much anymore, I can't stand it."

Gao Chengcheng understood that what Fang Sishen cared about was that he interfered with his privacy without authorization, and then, he got the wrong position.

After the instant noodles were cooked, Gao Chengcheng went to the window sill and picked two shallots.Suddenly said: "If you leave for a week, these two pots of things will not be dried to death."

He suddenly changed the subject, Fang Sishen was taken aback, and then said casually: "It's only seven or eight days, shouldn't it matter?"

"I lived in the country when I was a child, and I know that if you plant it in the ground, it will be fine for ten and a half months. The temperature in this room is high and dry. There are such big flower pots. When you come back, wait to collect their bodies. .”

"That……"

"I'll water you once before I leave, and it will be connected when you come back. The key will be put in your mailbox when the time comes."

It is customary for classmates who have a good relationship to take care of each other like this.

Fang Sishen looked at the two pots of green onions and garlic, and hesitated.

"Old Hao upstairs will not leave during the Chinese New Year, or you can ask him." Gao Chengcheng dragged a square stool to serve as a dining table, and handed a pair of chopsticks to Fang Sishen, as if there had never been any quarrel between the two of them, "Xiao Fang, don't care what you believe." Believe it or not, although I am planning for myself, I really want to be your friend. I even thought, hey, I am overestimated, and I want to try to ease the relationship between you father and son."

Seeing that Fang Sishen lowered his head and remained silent, he continued: "Forgive me, in the eyes of an outsider like me, your father is so careful with you that you are overkill, and let you do whatever you want. This afternoon, you left him and turned around and left. I never I have never seen another person who is so rude to Professor Fang. I have known you for so long, and I have never seen you Fang Sishen be so self-willed towards the second person. Xiao Fang, brother, to be honest, you will do this, but because you think Yes, he is your father!"

Fang Sishen's throat choked.After a while, he said in a muffled voice: "Brother, you don't understand. There are some things...you don't understand."

"I don't understand your family affairs. But why did father and son have an overnight feud? Your father occasionally mentioned the year, always in great pain. There is only him in this world, and he is your only dearest person. How many three years can you have in your life? Use it to fight with the person closest to you?"

As a result, before Gao Chengcheng left, he not only took away Fang Sishen's spare key, but also made him nod his head and promised to take time to go home during the Chinese New Year.Lying on the bed, Fang Sishen finally figured it out: what a qualified lobbyist my father found this time.

Early on Friday morning, Fang Sishen rushed to the train station with his luggage on his back.In order to let the students experience life, this trip specially chose the slow train that arrives in the morning and evening.The leading teacher of Guoyi High will lead the students to meet him at the square in front of the station.

When his younger sister Hu Yixin got off the school bus carrying the flag, Fang Sishen was surprised: "Yixin!" Seeing the students wearing school uniforms getting off the bus one after another, he changed his words, "Hu, Teacher Hu, why is it you?"

Hu Yixin recently got a big perm, put it on the top of her head, and put on a little makeup. She looks very capable and mature: "Mr. Fang, I'm sorry for the long wait."

Throwing the students to the ticket gate, the two teachers escorted the team at the end, Hu Yixin whispered: "I'm afraid you won't be able to deal with these little bastards, so I exchanged with the school's request and the teacher who was supposed to lead the team." Hejin is not famous, compared to other The hot scenic spot is far away, and the teacher who leads the team is grateful.

Fang Sishen was greatly moved by his sister's timely act of righteousness, and asked, "Is this okay?"

Hu Yixin glared at him: "The dean thought I was going to take this opportunity to fall in love with you, so he chased after you and yelled that you are not allowed to mislead the public for personal reasons!"

"Pfft!" Fang Sishen was amused by his sister.

Hong Xinyao was at the end, and when he heard the chatter and laughter, he couldn't help turning his head.Half a year of studying in the capital has achieved remarkable results. Young Master Hong, the toubob, has also begun to understand the need to pay attention to demeanor in public places. He was asked by the teacher to be the queen, and he did not express any objection.23 of the 12 students who chose to study Chinese studies signed up for the winter holiday gathering.Liberal arts classes are full of yin and yang are weak, and there are few boys. Liang Ruogu went to the interest class run by the School of Humanities, and Shi Tong followed his parents back to his hometown in the south to celebrate the New Year. There were only 12 boys left in the 4 people, and those 3 were frail scholars. He alone is like a small iron tower, so Hu Yixin arranged for him to guard the whole time.

Seeing Fang Shudai sticking together with that female teacher surnamed Hu, smiling joyfully and flirtatiously, Hong Xinyao felt extremely annoying.The female teacher had a few locks of curly hair hanging around her ears, and her lips were smeared with blood. She really looked like a vixen on TV, no wonder her surname was Hu.I didn't expect Fang Shudai to have such bad taste that he would like such a vulgar woman.

It's this Fang nerd with hypocrisy and vulgar taste who has the face to say that he has "wrong intentions"!Hong Xinyao has never been scolded so gracefully since he was so old. He looked it up in the dictionary, and learned idioms such as "with ulterior motives" and "unscrupulous" from the dictionary explanations. He was very unconvinced.This dissatisfaction is not because of right or wrong, he also knows that what he is doing is not something that can be seen on the surface, but because he thinks that Fang Sishen has no right to criticize himself, one of them; and Fang Sishen should not blame himself, this Second.

Young Master Hong has learned from his ears and eyes and practiced it by himself. There are two main criteria for judging human relations and affairs of the world: one is the strength of power, and the other is the size of interests.If the so-called sense of justice must be pursued, it may only come from the worship of the strong and the individual heroism complex of the military family.His outlook on life, which is still in a state of ignorance, has realized that these are not only the principles of being an individual, but also the principles of the world around him.That's why he couldn't understand Fang Sishen's words and deeds at all, and insisted on classifying Fang Sishen as a hypocrite.

Everyone is like this, why do you accuse me?You too, why do you accuse me?

He didn't know that in Fang Sishen's view, even though everyone is like this, it shouldn't be like this, and I can't be like this.

This is the fundamental difference between teachers and students at this stage.

Fang Shudai didn't take the threat seriously, and even flirted with the female teacher who was with him. Young Master Hong felt that he was provoking himself.Moreover, knowing that he is from Hejin, he didn't explain in advance, causing himself to tell a whole load of lies to his guardian and parents. In the end, he spent the unjustified money on a trip to his house, and he had to be careful not to be bumped by acquaintances. In short, the resentment deepened unconsciously.

With a snort, he turned his head away.I thought to myself: From the looks of it, I have to find an opportunity to tap and tap again, so that Fang Shudai can understand clearly that this young master is not joking.If he refuses to repent, just wait until the busiest time of school and tell him to get out!

Said it was a slow train, the school didn't dare to wrong these young masters and ladies, all of them booked sleeper berths.On the eve of the Spring Festival, train tickets are expensive, and even if you buy ordinary tickets, you may not be able to squeeze in.Guoyi High has its own channels for more than a dozen sleepers.

Departing early in the morning and arriving late at night, passing through Yanshan, Lingqiu, Taiyuan, Pingyao, Linfen, Jishan and other places, the terminal station is Hejin.There are thousands of historic sites and famous historical cities along the way.The liberal arts students were a little bit ink in their stomachs, and a Chinese teacher and a doctor of Chinese studies who were with them were all in high spirits, pointing to the train timetable and spitting agitatedly.Young Master Hong thinks that Jinzhou is his territory, and he has a sense of pride in his hometown, but he can't talk about it at all.After searching my brain, I came up with the myths and legends that my mother told me when I was a child. They are still fragmented and incomplete, and others need to correct them.

A long freight train whistled past the window, with a red front and a black body, and each carriage piled up into a pitch-black spire.

A student asked, "What's that?"

Hong Xinyao is so familiar with it, he couldn't be more familiar with it: "Wujin. This is a special train for transporting Wujin."

“1、2、3、4、5……”一个学生好奇地数起了车厢数。

"50, 51, 52..." Almost all the students leaned on the car windows and counted together.

Hong Xinyao suddenly smiled: "Who wants to bet with me on how many carriages this car has at most?"

"One hundred, I bet one hundred!"

"One hundred and fifty! No more than one hundred and five."

Hong Xinyao shook his head and raised two fingers: "I bet more than two hundred."

Several students who participated in the gambling refused to believe it, and leaned back to the car window to continue counting.

“198、199、200……202、203、204！哇！真的超过200节，有204节车厢！”

Together with the students, Fang Sishen stood silently in front of the train window, watching the long train gradually go away, like a long black snake winding in and out of the mountains and rivers, and the full train of Ujin shining against the sun and white snow, but Like a string of black flames, burning in the Youyan Qinjin land.

The students who lost the bet donated snacks and came out to eat, and the teachers and students sat around in harmony.Fang Sishen devoted himself wholeheartedly to this journey and forgot Hong Xinyao's threat long ago; Young Master Hong wanted to show his demeanor in front of his classmates in the capital, and he also behaved generously and politely, and they lived in peace for the time being.

Since the first Ugin special train, the same train has appeared from time to time.As the number of freight trains increased, the sky outside the trains gradually became cloudy.The continuous factory buildings and towering chimneys in the plain are the most common scenery along the way.These liberal arts students were somewhat disappointed that the ancient meaning contained in those historical place names was only on the train timetable.

However, the enthusiasm of young people is always easy to arouse.When the train got into an endless tunnel, the inside of the carriage was suddenly darkened, only the deafening rumbling sound could be heard, and sparks flying from the friction between the body and the rock wall could even be seen, and the students became excited again.After going through three tunnels in a row, the train temporarily stopped at a small station, and the radio said it was waiting for dispatch.

Before the car stopped, many hands climbed onto the window sill, and the girls screamed in fright.Several faces appeared outside the car window: "Cloth tiger, handmade cloth tiger! 1 yuan!" "Buy a bowl of jelly, 5 cents, only 5 cents!"

Fang Sishen stood up, and outside the car window was a small open-air platform where many local women and children were selling souvenirs to passengers with baskets on their shoulders.Most of the people who can squeeze onto the platform to do business are adults, while children stand on the slope next to the railroad tracks with a block of stones, lifting the baskets in their hands above their heads with great effort, while shouting at the top of their voices.Their cheeks and ears were flushed from the cold, their noses were dripping down their chins, and their calico padded jackets were covered with patches.

Reach out and touch the money.Suddenly, my sister yelled loudly: "Don't open the window! Do you hear me?! Liu Jing, Wang Pei, stop!"

"Teacher, I want to buy a cloth tiger for grandma."

"Teacher, they look so pitiful."

Hu Yixin put one hand on his hip and the other on the car window: "If you want to buy something, come and line up here!"

When all the students came over, they solemnly announced: "First, you are not allowed to buy food. If you have to buy it, call your mother to apply first, and don't ask me. Second, prepare the change in advance. Third, come to my window Buy, come one by one in order, and no other windows are allowed to be opened!"

Fang Sishen admired his younger sister's command like a female general, and obeyed the order and ranked last in the student team.Hong Xinyao was sitting on the bunk eating snacks, as if staying out of the way.

The windows of the car were opened, and the eager sellers swarmed up. Without waiting for the students to ask the price, they directly snatched the money from their hands and stuffed some goods back.Although a teacher reminded them first, the inexperienced young people still suffered some losses in the chaos.

"Hey, I only want one, why would you give me three? Give them back!"

"Hey, I gave you ten yuan, you should change to seven yuan!"

Amidst the shouts of the students, the train moved slowly.The sellers backed away, scattered far away on the soil slope, the whirlwind brought by the speeding up of the train blew the dust all over the sky, and the whole small station was blurred in the grayish-yellow soil mist.

One girl was forced to buy two more cloth tigers, and one girl didn't get the change she should have given.The two sat down in silence for a while, and suddenly sighed in unison.

"Forget it, it doesn't have much money anyway."

"They are so poor. This is the first time I have seen people wearing clothes with so many patches." In the capital, even beggars hardly see people wearing patches.

"Teacher, isn't Jinju very rich? Why are these people so poor?"

Fang Sishen pointed out the window: "Look around, there are bare stone mountains and loess slopes. We have already entered the Five Elements Mountain, which may be one of the poorest places in the Great Xia Kingdom."
