1987 My Era

Chapter 300, Days in the library with Mai Sui, apprenticeship to Mr. Ba, Xiao Han's plan (Subscribe please!)

The study room was packed with people, and as soon as I sat down I felt a completely different reading atmosphere.

Looking at the rows of people and the mountains of various books.

A sense of heroism of “no more wasting time, no more wasting time” suddenly arose in Li Heng’s mind.

Sitting here, it feels like a crime to be lazy.

No wonder Mai Sui and Zhou Shihe like to go to the library. The study atmosphere is really too strong, which cannot be compared with simply saying that the rented house is spacious.

This is like the difference between ordinary middle schools and key middle schools. Ordinary middle schools seem to have everything, but they lack the competitive spirit of studying, which is precisely the magic weapon for key middle schools to win.

In a nutshell, environment is important.

Mai Sui brought two books for him, one on advanced mathematics and the other on college English.

He was good at both subjects. He first spent 3 hours reviewing College English. He immediately had an idea in his mind and felt that he should have a good grasp of the course.

After a good start in English, he was no longer so nervous. He put the book aside, picked up the thermos cup next to his left hand and drank a sip of water, but his eyes were unconsciously wandering around the study room.

He saw Liu Yanling, Wei Xiaozhu, Le Yao, Li Guoyi and Zhou Zhangming, who were two tables away. Well, in other words, about half of the study room away.

He found that there were several boys sitting diagonally opposite Wei Xiaozhu, glancing at her from time to time. It didn't seem like they were there to study, but rather to see the girl.

Thinking of this, Li Heng looked around his surroundings. It would have been better if he hadn't looked around.

When I saw this, I was stunned!

Oh, what a guy!
So I came to the land of women? All the people around here are girls, and I am the only boy?
Is this fucking reasonable?
When Li Heng looked up, two girls across from him noticed his strangeness and smiled at him. Obviously, because of his great fame, they recognized him.

After taking another sip of water and closing the lid, Li Heng tore off a piece of paper and wrote: Do you usually read books here?
Hand the wheat ear.

After reading it, Mai Sui wrote back: Well, Shihe and I have been here for the whole semester. Your seat was once occupied by Ningning, and the position has not changed.

Li Heng wrote: No one is trying to grab a spot?
Mai Sui replied: No, no matter how late you come, this seat is basically empty.

Li Heng was stunned, and after a while he wrote: That's right, if I met the kings who were so beautiful as to make fishes sink to the bottom of their chests and geese fall to the ground, or the moon hide in shame on the flowers, I would give way to them and would not dare to grab the seat.

Mai Sui smiled softly and replied: Stop talking nonsense. Do you want me to save a seat for you?

Li Heng wrote: All the surrounding seats are full, how can I reserve one?
Mai Sui replied: The two senior sisters on Shihe’s left will go abroad to study after the Chinese New Year, so they will have some free time.

When this was mentioned, Li Heng suddenly realized that this was Fudan University, and there were many people studying abroad. Maybe among the 10 people he saw on the street, two or three of them wanted to go abroad.

He once read a post: a boy revealed that he studied at Fudan University in the 90s and his grades were in the middle and lower reaches of the class. Originally, this boy was a loser and gave up trying, but in the end he unexpectedly got a place to stay in school.

The boy was a little confused, then after asking around, he found out that the students with good grades in the class either went abroad for further studies, were admitted to Peking University or Tsinghua University, or were recruited by relevant units, and then the good job of staying in school fell on him.

Li Heng wrote on the paper with his pen tip: Okay, you save a seat for me.

The two passed the note around for a while, then Li Heng perked up and continued to review advanced mathematics seriously.

Mathematics has always been his strong point, and he listened attentively in class. He reviewed smoothly throughout the whole process and basically did not encounter any difficulties.

I don't know how long it has been like this...

Just when he was working hard, the bell rang and the girls around him got up and left one after another.

Seeing that he was still absorbed in his studies, Mai Sui and Zhou Shihe tacitly did not leave but stayed to wait for him.

He waited and waited, and before he knew it, it was already past 8 o'clock in the evening. If his stomach hadn't growled, Li Heng, who was immersed in the sea of ​​questions, would not have noticed how late it was and would not have woken up.

He stretched and asked, "What time is it?"

The wheat ear said, "8:43."

Li Heng asked subconsciously: "No, it's so late, you haven't eaten yet? Are you an iron man?"

Mai Sui and Zhou Shihe looked at him together.

Li Heng felt a little guilty, and immediately packed up his books and said, "Come on, let's go. I'll treat the two ladies to a big meal."

The three of them left the library. Li Heng stood on the steps and said, "The cafeteria is out of food at this time. We can only go outside the school or go home to cook. What do you choose?"

Mai Sui and Zhou Shihe looked at each other and said, "It's too late. It's not safe outside the school now. Let's go home and cook. I bought a lot of vegetables."

Li Heng thought it made sense. For girls like Zhou Shihe and Mai Sui, it was less safe to go out after dark. Usually, they would not go out as soon as it got dark, unless there were many people around.

Li Heng waved his hand and said, "Then go home."

That night, he didn't cook, and didn't even go into the kitchen. He first took a shower, then went into the study and wrote a letter back to Song Yu.

The reply letter is divided into three sections.

The first paragraph talks about his rehearsal in Beijing and informs that he will be the sixth performer on the show.

The second paragraph introduces the sales of "Cultural Journey" and expresses confidence in selling 200 million copies.

In the third paragraph, he said in the letter that due to the Spring Festival Gala, he could not go home for the New Year this year and might not have time to visit her in Dongting Lake. He expressed his longing for her in black and white.

After writing, he checked it carefully. After making sure there was nothing missing, he found the reserved registered envelope and stamps from the drawer, folded the letter paper into a heart shape, put it in, and finally sealed it with glue.

After doing all this, he walked around the kitchen door but didn't go in.

After taking a shower, he didn't want to go into such a fume-filled place, otherwise he would always feel dirty, but he also wanted to take a shower.

He asked in a hoarse voice: "How long will it take?"

Mai Sui couldn't answer this question because she was still learning how to cook and didn't know how long it would take to cook the cured fish.

Zhou Shihe, the chef, turned around and told him gently, "There is another dish. It will take about ten minutes."

Li Heng said: "Then I'll go for a walk outside and come back later."

The two women nodded.

The fake Taoist priest came back, and Chen Siya was there too. She brought back a little pug, which was furry and very cute.

Li Heng asked: "Are you planning to feed the dogs?"

"Hey, kid, what's the point of asking this question? It will easily affect everyone's rest. I'm here to help a friend watch over him for two days." said the fake Taoist priest.

Chen Siya asked him, "Li Heng, you haven't practiced the piano for half a month. You should practice more when you have time. Don't waste your great talent."

Li Heng happily agreed: "Okay, aren't you busy these days? Otherwise, I would have come to your place a long time ago."

Chen Siya knew that he had to rehearse the Spring Festival Gala program, and she understood very well, then smiled and instructed:

"You and Mai Sui must remember to come on the 10th of the first month of spring. Lao Fu and I have told you and Shu Heng that we want them to perform a show at the wedding."

"Don't worry, we will definitely come to your big happy event." Li Heng patted his chest and assured.

The fake Taoist priest asked, "Teacher Yu is Siya's bridesmaid, do you want to be my best man?"

Li Heng asked: "Is your wedding a Chinese style or a Western style?"

The fake Taoist priest said, "Chinese style, but we also need a best man. Do you want to come?"

Having said that, how can I not come? Li Heng said cheerfully: "Old Fu, as long as you are not afraid of this face stealing your limelight, count me in."

The fake Taoist priest looked at his face for a while and said with a grin, "Oh, it's no big deal. It's easy. I'll ask the makeup artist to make you look uglier. Anyway, you can't steal my limelight that day."

Li Heng rolled his eyes.

As the three of them were standing at the gate of the courtyard chatting, Yu Shuheng slowly walked over from the entrance of the alley.

Chen Siya greeted, "Shuheng, it's rare to come back so late."

Yu Shuheng unconsciously glanced at someone and said with a smile, "Something happened at home, so I came back a little late. It's so cold outside, why don't you guys come in and chat?"

The fake Taoist pointed at Li Heng and said, "This kid hasn't had dinner yet. He said he would eat later, but he refused to come into the house."

Li Heng glared at me and said, "Bullshit! You never called me into the house. There were so many delicious foods on the ground, but you didn't even say a word."

The fake Taoist priest said calmly, "Stop talking nonsense. These are for weddings and have not been opened yet. If you want to eat them, you should offer them to your ancestors first. Now I'm giving you shit to eat."

Seeing the two people fighting, Yu Shuheng and Chen Siya not only did not stop them, but watched with relish from the side.

But when it comes to bickering, how could a city guy like Lao Fu be a match for Li Heng?
What kind of people are the most numerous in rural areas?
There are many women with sharp tongues, and they would quarrel with each other in a day without repeating the same thing.

Li Heng has been influenced by this for so many years since he was a child. Even if he hasn't learned the essence, a little bit of it is enough to pin the fake Taoist priest to the ground.

Look, within 10 rounds, the fake Taoist priest was already red-faced and ready to jump off the wall, shouting: "You scum! You scum! You are a great writer, but when you curse people you act like a little bitch."

Chen Siya was confused and interrupted: "Great writer, what great writer?"

The fake Taoist adjusted his glasses and said, "I forgot to tell you that To Live and Cultural Journey were written by this guy."

Hearing this, Chen Siya was stunned and even more confused. She stared at Li Hengdong and looked around. After a long time, she came to her senses and asked Li Heng: "Are you really? Is what Lao Fu said true?"

Li Heng held his head high and chest puffed out, smiling proudly and said, "That's right. Look at what kind of man you are. He doesn't know how to respect others at all. Even big leaders have to show some courtesy to me when they see me."

Chen Siya smiled and circled around him three times, "It's true that he is ignorant. How about I break off the engagement with Lao Fu and marry you?"

Li Heng was overjoyed, but before he could show off, Lao Fu angrily pushed him out of the courtyard: "Get away from here, kid! You are not welcome here!"

Li Heng teased him, "Sister Chen, is what just happened serious?"

"Get out! If you stick your head out again, I'll break your legs." The fake Taoist priest picked up a stick and chased out, standing with his hands on his hips, laughing and cursing.

Yu Shuheng came out and said to him, "Come with me."

"Hey, okay."

Li Heng responded and followed her into Building 25.

Seeing the two people enter the next room, Chen Siya, who was still in shock, whispered: "He is really the writer December."

"How can this be false? Don't you see him staying in the study until late every day? He is writing." Speaking of Li Heng's identity as a writer, the fake Taoist who thinks he is a child of destiny is also convinced.

"How can he be so powerful at this age?" Chen Siya's face was full of disbelief.

The fake Taoist priest said, "If he is not powerful, he cannot live in Lushan Village. If he is not powerful, the president will not go against the crowd and give him Building 26. Moreover, those old professors who were fighting for the house at the beginning stopped making trouble after learning the truth."

Seeing his fiancée standing there without saying anything, the fake Taoist priest said, "The two people who came to his house last time were both from Harvest magazine, one was the editor-in-chief and the other was the editor."

Chen Siya took a long time to digest the news, "No wonder!"

"No wonder?" the fake Taoist priest asked as he closed the gate and moved things.

Chen Siya turned her head to look at the small building No. 25 next door, and lowered her voice further, "Aunt Shen Xin might have taken a fancy to him."

"Who? Who do you like?" The fake Taoist opened his mouth wide.

Chen Siya said: "Who else? Of course it's Li Heng."

Now it was the fake Taoist priest's turn to be shocked. He spoke with great difficulty: "How can this boy be so lucky? To be favored by Aunt Shen? To be given to Teacher Yu?"

At this point, he was unable to say anything. He felt that this was too fake and ridiculous.

Can not accept.

Chen Siya nodded: "Didn't you see that Aunt Shen Xin has been taking good care of Li Heng recently? She has come to Lushan Village more often than before. I was wondering what was going on. Now I finally figured it out."

At this moment, the fake Taoist priest could fit a goose egg in his mouth: "What does Shuheng mean?"

Chen Siya shook her head: "I think Shuheng doesn't have that idea. Aunt Shen probably misunderstood and then made the best of it, wanting to make Li Heng her son-in-law."

The fake Taoist priest came back to his senses, "You mean, Aunt Shen misunderstood Teacher Yu because she often stayed overnight at Li Heng's house due to sleep paralysis?"

Chen Siya guessed: "That should be the case."

"Damn it! I've been harassed by a water ghost for months and couldn't sleep at night, all because of this kid?" The fake Taoist priest broke down and cursed, feeling that the way of heaven was so damn unfair.

Chen Siya corrected him: "Don't keep calling him a kid. It's not nice to hear his status."

"What's wrong with his identity? You just said you wanted to marry him. I won't call him a bastard. Ouch, Siya, please be gentle." The fake Taoist priest cried out in pain.

Chen Siya pinched his waist hard and said, "You should be more careful. It's not good to yell outside."

The fake Taoist priest asked, "What were Li Heng and Teacher Yu's reactions?"

Chen Siya said: "They should be more opposed."

"Object? I can understand that Teacher Yu objects, but what does he object to?" The fake Taoist priest was puzzled.

Chen Siya pondered for a while and said, "Think about Xiao Han's appearance."

"Miss Xiao's facial features are indeed extremely delicate. She is one of those rare girls where every part is flawless. But it is not necessarily true that her overall condition surpasses Teacher Yu, right?" the fake Taoist priest commented objectively.

Chen Siya thought for a while and said, "This may be related to Li Heng's age. I think men under 28 probably prefer Xiao Han's type.

An old man like you is more obsessed with Shuheng's elegance, intelligence and scholarly temperament."

The fake Taoist thought about it and felt that it made some sense. He sighed, "Hey, this boy is so lucky to have fallen into a nest of beauties. There are so many girls who are hard to pick out in a million, and he has several of them around him."

Chen Siya smiled and said, "This may be the siphon effect. The girls attracted by this kind of men are naturally the best girls."

The fake Taoist agreed with this.

Whether you admit it or not, there is nothing wrong with that guy in any way.

If I have to find fault, it would be that his family background is slightly worse than that of Teacher Yu.

Building 25, second floor.

Yu Shuheng put her bag on the sofa and wanted to pour some hot water, but she realized that she had not been home for a few days and there was no hot water, so she put down the cup and asked:

"You are cooking at home, you haven't had dinner yet?"

Li Heng replied: "I just came back from the library not long ago. Do you want to go over and have something to eat later, teacher?"

"I ate it and came back."

As she spoke, Yu Shuheng took out a tape measure from her bag and beckoned to him: "Come here, I'll measure your size."

"Measure the size? Make clothes?" Li Heng asked.

Yu Shuheng said: "Yes, the clothes for the Spring Festival Gala."

Hearing this, Li Heng walked over, opened his arms, and let Teacher Yu carefully measure his shoulder width, waist width, leg length and other dimensions.

Seeing her very professional look, he asked curiously: "Teacher, have you learned it?"

Yu Shuheng replied: "No, but I have a lot of custom-made clothes, about 180 sets a year. I will get used to it naturally after seeing it a lot."

Li Heng was surprised: "One year? One hundred and eighty sets?"

Yu Shuheng joked: "Little boy, is that a lot? I have five wardrobes in my villa."

Li Heng was speechless: "I usually don't pay attention to it, I really didn't see it, maybe it has something to do with you always like to wear black."

Yu Shuheng said: "I also wear other colors, but I don't usually wear them in school."

Li Heng asked: "To appear more stable?"

Yu Shuheng said: "The teacher is too beautiful. If she wears clothes of other colors, you won't concentrate on the class."

Li Heng was stunned.

Seeing him like this, Yu Shuheng smiled elegantly, "Why? Are you questioning the teacher's charm?"

Li Heng blinked.

Yu Shuheng straightened up and whispered in his ear, "Little brother, if the teacher really wants to seduce you, you won't last three nights."

After saying that, she took a step back expressionlessly, bent down and began to take notes, writing down the data she had just measured.

Li Heng was speechless. His tone was as seductive as it could be when he whispered in his ear just now, but then it became cold as ice. It was like a thought to heaven and a thought to hell. The switch was so damn fast.

After noting down the data, she rolled up the measuring tape and said, "Call Shi He over later and I'll measure her."

"Oh, sure."

Li Heng turned and left.

Why are you still hanging around? They are clearly trying to get rid of you.

When he got home, the food was ready and the two girls were waiting for him.

Facing the two girls' gazes, Li Heng walked in and explained, "I just went to Teacher Yu's house to measure the size of my clothes."

After explaining the whole story, he said to Zhou Shihe, "After dinner, come over."

"Okay." Zhou Shihe responded.

By coincidence, Ye Ning and Sun Manning came together during the meal.

Li Heng quickly stood up and took the bowl and chopsticks, "You guys came just in time, let's eat together."

"Wow! What a treat! Bring me some wine quickly. I don't want to eat, I want to drink!" Sun Manning was in a very good mood. She put one foot on the chair and spoke with a dash of spirit.

"That's right, I want to drink three big bowls." The tall Ye Ning raised his hands, almost touching the light.

Li Heng brought out a few bottles of beer from the kitchen, one for each person.

Seeing this, Zhou Shihe stood up and said, "You guys eat first, I'll go cook two more dishes."

Wheat Ear said, "I'll help you."

Well, after helping out, the four girls went into the kitchen, playing and laughing, leaving Li Heng alone staring blankly at the dining table.

Damn it, what kind of thing is this? I've taken off my pants, and you said my period has come, Li Heng complained in his heart, picked up two pieces of meat and put them in his mouth, then took a sip of wine, picked up another piece of meat and put it in his mouth. Only then did he put down his chopsticks with a sense of satisfaction and followed to the kitchen door.

"Mai Sui, I bought a sleeper ticket for the train on the 29th. We will leave in the afternoon after the exam." Sun Manning said.

Li Heng was a little worried: "It's so early, just the two of you?"

Sun Manning said: "The vice-president is also here. My dad's 50th birthday is coming up in a few days, and he wants to go to my house for a drink."

Li Heng said: "It's faster to take a plane."

Sun Manning curled her lips and said, "Not necessarily. The plane has to take several buses, which is so far and troublesome. We can take the train and get off directly in Shao City, which is very convenient."

Thinking about it this way, Li Heng felt that it was a good idea. Transferring from Chang City to Shao City might not be as safe on the road as on the train. Li Heng asked Ye Ning, "Comrade Ye Ning, when are you leaving?"

Ye Ning said: "I am also leaving on the 29th. The train is at around 1pm that day. My last exam in the morning is at 10pm, so I can catch it in time."

A semester has passed by unknowingly. As we were chatting, we suddenly felt that time had passed so fast, so fast that we had to separate before we could even come to terms with it.

After dinner, the girls accompanied Zhou Shihe to Teacher Yu’s house.

Li Heng didn't dare to rest. He hid in the study room to read and review his lessons.

His goal was very clear: his final grades had to be in the upper middle of the class, not at the bottom. Otherwise, he would be embarrassed.

In the next few days, Li Heng got up earlier than the chickens and slept later than the dogs. He was in the library during the day and in the study at night, and he kept working hard.

On Thursday, around 8:40 a.m., Editor-in-Chief Liao arrived at Lushan Village as scheduled.

Li Heng opened the door and asked, "Uncle Liao, why are you here so early?"

Editor-in-Chief Liao said, "I was afraid you would be anxious, so I came here early."

Mai Sui poured a cup of hot tea for Editor Liao and asked with concern: "Editor Liao, have you had breakfast?"

Editor-in-Chief Liao took the tea and said with a smile, "I ate it before coming here."

After drinking a cup of hot tea, Li Heng did not delay and set off with two bags of candy that he had bought in the past two days.

Before leaving, he said to Mai Sui: "I may be back late, so don't wait for me when you eat."

"Okay." Mai Sui walked him to the door.

Editor-in-Chief Liao looked at the wheat ears meaningfully, lit a cigarette and walked ahead.

When we got into the van and left Fudan, Li Heng asked, "Uncle Liao, where does Mr. Ba live?"

Editor-in-Chief Liao drove and replied: "No. 113 Wukang Road, Xuhui District, is a bit far from your school. He has lived there since 1955, so it's been quite a while."

Along the way, Li Heng asked some simple questions about Mr. Ba so as not to be confused and violate taboos there.

At around 10 o'clock in the morning, the car stopped in front of No. 113 Wukang Road.

Li Heng followed Editor-in-Chief Liao with the gift in his hand and rang the doorbell.

This is a three-story Western-style building with a courtyard full of white magnolias. The streets are very clean, with occasional yellow leaves blown to the ground by the wind.

Not long after, a middle-aged woman opened the door, poked her head in and said, "Brother Liao, you're here."

"According to the teacher's request, I brought Li Heng here to introduce himself to the sect."

Editor-in-Chief Liao took the initiative to move aside to let Li Heng in the back out, and introduced: "This is Xiao Lin, Mr. Ba's daughter."

Li Heng opened his mouth and shouted, "Sister Xiaolin."

Editor-in-Chief Liao was stunned.

Li Xiaolin was also stunned for a second, and then said happily: "You are so sweet, no wonder you can write masterpieces like "To Live" and "Cultural Journey"."

After praising them, she helped carry the gifts and said to the two, "Come in quickly. My dad got up early today and has been waiting for you in the house."

Crossing the courtyard, the two followed him into the house.

It was somewhat surprising that the three-story building, which looked very fashionable from the outside, had very simple furnishings inside. Apart from the sofa and coffee table, there was almost no extra decoration in the living room.

There was a picture of a horse on the wall. Without looking at the signature, Li Heng could recognize at a glance that it was an authentic work by Xu Beihong.

In addition, there is a pair of standing vases in the corner of the room, with nothing planted in them, they are just for decoration.

Just as he was looking up at the painting of the galloping horse, an old man with white hair came out of the study and asked him, "Do you like Xu Beihong's paintings, too?"

Hearing the voice, Li Heng turned around immediately and called out respectfully, "Teacher."

How respectful!

Your attitude should be as respectful as possible, and it should come completely from the heart.

He has lived two lives, and in this life he can have such a smooth career in the literary world, all thanks to the support and help of this old man in front of him. Otherwise, public opinion would have criticized him to death just over the issue of royalties!

In his heart, this person is his mentor, so he naturally cannot neglect him when meeting him.

Although Mr. Ba is old, he is very energetic. He looked him up and down and nodded after a while:

"Yes, this appearance is a bit better than what Xiao Liao described."

Li Heng was embarrassed. We have known each other for a long time, but the first thing he said was to comment on your appearance?
Editor-in-Chief Liao said with a smile: "Teacher, this good appearance has been personally certified by the great Qingyi."

Li Xiaolin poured tea for a few people and joked, "It's really good, otherwise it wouldn't have been able to charm that lady."

Li Heng: “.”

Seeing that he looked confused, Mr. Ba pointed to the sofa next to him and said, "Sit down."

Li Heng still sat down.

Mr. Ba teased: "I have heard of you for a long time, and today we finally meet. Are you nervous?"

It was the first time he met this kind of person, and he felt an indescribable emotion in his heart, a little nervous and a little excited.

Li Heng shook his head and joked to himself, "It's not that I'm nervous, but I didn't expect that even though the affair didn't work out, my reputation as a playboy has already spread."

This made the three of them laugh out loud.

He had thought of many meeting scenarios, but he had never thought of being teased during the meeting. You can't blame him for that. In order to be pretentious and go with the flow, he had to follow the general environment.

Li Xiaolin sat on the left and explained with a smile, "He likes Peking Opera and Sichuan Opera more. Huang Qingyi is very famous in the Peking Opera world. Her repertoire is our first choice when we go to the theater."

So that's how it is. Combined with the relationship between Editor-in-Chief Liao and Huang Zhaoyi, Li Heng used his brain a little and instantly sorted out the whole story.

He guessed that Mr. Ba and this Miss Xiao Lin were probably both fans of Huang Zhaoyi, otherwise they would not have mentioned her the first time they met.

The four of them sat around and chatted for about 20 minutes on the topic of Peking Opera. Mr. Ba asked, "How many days do you have left for the exam?"

Li Heng replied: "Three more days."

Mr. Ba looked at the calendar, nodded and said, "I asked you to come here today for no special reason, I just wanted to see you in person.

Your "To Live" and "Cultural Journey" are both very well written and of high standard. I am old now, but I am very happy to see such an outstanding successor like you. "

The old man didn't put on airs and his language was very simple. He spoke from his heart and said whatever he thought.

This gave Li Heng a good feeling and was very comfortable.

Li Heng said modestly: "That was all luck, and it would have been impossible without your help, teacher."

He kept calling him teacher, which made Editor-in-Chief Liao's eyes brighter and brighter. He interrupted and said, "Teacher, I think Li Heng is good."

Some words are easy to understand the moment you hear them.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Ba did not object, or the two of them were actually acting in a double act, but just looked at Li Heng steadily.

How is this going?

Do you want to accept me as your disciple?
Although Editor-in-Chief Liao had mentioned it vaguely and hinted at it before, he really didn't think about it in this direction.

Li Heng was a little confused, as if the heavens had thrown a huge golden cake at him. He immediately climbed up the pole, stretched out his hand to take the teacup in front of Mr. Ba, and respectfully offered it, "Teacher, please have some tea!"

Mr. Ba looked at him with a smile, and took the teacup after a long while: "I am old, and I may not be able to teach you anything, but I want to drink this cup of tea."

In one sentence, the meaning is clear: With your talent, I can't teach you anything, but I am particularly optimistic about you and will help you as much as possible in my lifetime.

This is equivalent to the meaning of guardian.

I am afraid that one day at such a young age he might become complacent and fall into the trap of someone in the outside world.

Since ancient times, scholars have looked down on each other. It is not just a simple saying. A single stroke of a brush can be fatal. Faced with this rare seedling, Mr. Ba, who has experienced many ups and downs, developed a heart of love for talent.

Under the gaze of the three people, Mr. Ba slowly and leisurely drank three sips of tea in succession.

Drinking this tea means that Li Heng officially becomes Ba Lao's disciple.

Li Xiaolin and Liao Hua looked at each other, and when they looked at Li Heng again, their eyes became different and much more friendly.

After talking for a while, Li Xiaolin stood up and said, "You three can chat first. I'll go cook."

Everyone in the literary world knows that being able to dine at Mr. Ba’s house is a form of recognition and an honor.

But then again, since the old man has accepted Li Heng as his disciple, this meal is a natural outcome.

Mr. Ba asked with concern: "I heard that you asked Xiao Zou to buy a lot of books for you, and you have a new idea for your next novel?"

Li Heng did not hide it, "I do have some ideas, but they have not been finalized yet."

At that moment, facing the curious eyes of the two people, he briefly gave the outline of the story he was about to create.

As the story was long, he told it for more than 10 minutes and even drank two cups of tea in between.

Afraid that he would interrupt, Editor-in-Chief Liao, who was itching to listen, personally refilled his tea.

Mr. Ba listened very carefully, absorbed in listening, nodding from time to time, agreeing from time to time, his eyes full of praise.

Editor-in-Chief Liao could see that the teacher was very satisfied with this story and the meaning it contained.

Of course, not only Mr. Ba was satisfied, but Editor-in-Chief Liao's eyes kept changing when he looked at Li Heng, and a thought emerged in his mind: What is a genius? This is a genius!

It has only been such a short time since "To Live" and "Cultural Journey" were released, but now when he hears this story, he feels longing, envy and admiration.

After a long time, Li Heng finished speaking and picked up the teacup to take two sips.

Mr. Ba was still immersed in the aftermath of the story and had not come to his senses.

Editor-in-Chief Liao looked at the teacher, then looked at Li Heng who was drinking tea and snorting, but did not disturb them. He just stayed aside and waited quietly.

Three minutes later, Mr. Ba, whose mind was full of the story, raised his head and praised: "Good! Good! This is a good story."

After he finished speaking, he turned his head and instructed: "When you finish writing, remember to bring it to me for a look."

"Okay, I'll personally send it to the teacher's home when the time comes." Li Heng was so happy that he couldn't express it in words after getting two good ones and one not bad.

After all, this is Mr. Ba! He used to be someone we could only admire in textbooks, but now he is reflected in real life and right in front of us.

This feeling is hard to describe.

At around 1:20 p.m., Li Xiaolin prepared the meal and called the three people to eat.

5 meat dishes, vegetable dish and soup are particularly sumptuous, comparable to the Chinese New Year.

Li Xiaolin took out a bottle of Maotai and asked him kindly: "Xiao Heng, can I have some wine?"

After becoming my disciple, my name changed to Xiaoheng.

Li Heng said: "I can drink some."

"It's a rare opportunity for you to come here, so go have a drink with him today."

Li Xiaolin gave him a glass of wine, and then said to Liao Hua: "Brother Liao, I don't care about you anymore. How much you can drink is up to you."

Editor-in-Chief Liao smiled and said, "You can't drink too much. Just one glass. We have to drive him back later."

With wine to liven up the atmosphere, we chatted and had a great time. The meal lasted almost an hour.

After the meal, everyone drank some tea before leaving.

Before leaving, Mr. Ba asked his daughter to take down the picture of a horse on the wall and give it to Li Heng.

This thing was a little hot, and he didn't know whether he should take it.

Li Xiaolin said with a smile: "You keep it. This is the first time we meet. How can a teacher let his students go back empty-handed?"

Hearing this, Editor-in-Chief Liao also echoed: "Li Heng, this is the teacher's intention."

Li Heng looked at Mr. Ba, Sister Xiaolin, and Editor-in-Chief Liao, and finally, he said "ah" and accepted the picture of the horse.

He was so dazed that he didn't know how he left the three-story building. It was not until a long time later that Li Heng said, "Uncle Liao, this painting is too valuable."

Editor-in-Chief Liao said: "Although Mr. Ba likes this painting very much, you deserve it as a gift from a hero. Don't be modest."

Li Heng listened in silence for a long time.

After the van left Wukang Road, he said to Editor-in-Chief Liao, "Uncle Liao, stop in front."

Editor-in-Chief Liao was an experienced man and understood immediately: "You want to go to Shanghai Medical University?"

"Yes, winter vacation is coming soon and I have to go meet my girlfriend." Li Heng said.

Editor-in-Chief Liao did not stop the car, but turned left at the intersection ahead and headed towards Shanghai Medical University. "I have nothing to do today, so I'll go with you."

Seeing this, Li Heng, who was too lazy to change buses, didn't make a fuss: "Okay, thank you, Uncle Liao."

They are all in Xuhui, so the distance is not particularly far and it won’t take long to get there.

After parking the car at the school gate, Editor-in-Chief Liao said to him, "I'll wait for you here."

Li Heng looked at the time. It was already past 3 o'clock. He thought for a moment and said, "Okay. I'll be back soon."

After entering the school gate, he walked to the downstairs of the girls' dormitory. He leaned over the window and said to the dormitory manager, "Auntie, please call Xiao Han from 303 for me."

The dormitory manager remembered him. This young man once hugged and kissed the most beautiful flower in the Medical University, and became a public enemy. The impression was deep.

The dormitory manager turned on the loudspeaker and shouted:
"Xiao Han from Room 303, Xiao Han from Room 303, someone's looking for you downstairs! Someone's looking for you downstairs!"

After shouting twice, the dormitory manager turned off the speaker and looked at him, looking left and right, as meticulously as a bee glancing at flowers.

Li Heng was almost dizzy and asked, "Auntie, what's wrong?"

"No, I just want to see if you have three heads and six arms. How did you kidnap the beauty in our school?" said the dormitory manager with a smile.

Li Heng said: "We are from the same place and have known each other since childhood."

The dorm auntie asked: "Childhood sweetheart?"

Li Heng is right.

The dormitory manager grumbled to herself, no wonder, no wonder.

While the two were chatting, Xiao Han came down in a plaid blue jacket, holding a bag.

The girl walked past him and stopped at a deserted place, looking at him with her dimples.

Li Heng reached out and hugged her: "Wife, I miss you!"

Xiao Han smiled sweetly, cleared her throat, and asked crisply: "Mr. Li, do you know why I brought you here?"

Li Heng smacked his lips, lowered his head and kissed the corner of her mouth: "It will be convenient for me to do something bad."

Xiao Han's eyebrows were half curved, and she said pitifully: "Every time you come over, you have to show your affection. I'm almost becoming a street rat."

Li Heng happily kissed her cheek again, "The one who knows me best is my wife!"

Seeing that he didn't let go, Xiao Han had no choice but to hug him and lamented:

"You know, ever since I started flirting with you, I don't think I'm cool anymore."

"Ah? Cool?" Li Heng exclaimed.

Xiao Hanwei raised his head and asked, "Look at my face now, do you feel heartbroken?"

Li Heng asked: "Why do you say that?"

"Is the word 'disgusting' written on it?" Xiao Han asked.

Li Heng shook his head, "It's getting more and more beautiful."

Xiao Han smiled and said, "Really? When you and so-and-so hugged each other before, I felt really disgusted.

I was thinking at the time that it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge, and now I have become the disgusting person I have described myself as.”

Li Heng laughed loudly, then reacted and said calmly, "I went to Beijing just for rehearsal this time, and didn't meet anyone."

Xiao Han stared at him without blinking, her eyes clear.

Li Heng lowered his head and put his forehead against hers, "Do you need me to explain?"

"Can a python like you, who is only interested in eating three elephants, explain this clearly?" Xiao Han said resentfully in a low voice.

"Then I won't explain."

"Tell me about the rehearsal."

"it is good."

In the following time, Li Heng talked about the rehearsal, including which celebrities he met, the sixth show, etc. He talked about everything in detail.

Xiao Han listened attentively and finally asked, "I heard that winters in the north are cold. Do you have scarves and gloves?"

Li Heng nodded and said, "I've prepared it."

Xiao Han gave him a sly smile, took out a scarf that she had prepared long ago from her bag, and put it around his neck:

"Spring Festival Gala, I want to see it appear on your neck on TV, a man who claims to be Xiao Han's husband, can you do it?"

Li Heng's heart skipped a beat, but he showed no hesitation: "Is there a reward?"

"Reward? Yes!"

Xiao Han smiled like a fox, "But the secret cannot be revealed. I'll tell you after you come back."
