Chapter 785 Daily Life
The two are going to the Conservatory of Music now.
The New Year is coming.
Li Qingning brought some New Year gifts to visit the teacher, and asked Jiang Yang to visit Professor Zhang and contribute to the serialization of "The Three-Body Problem".
The car stopped downstairs.
Jiang Yang helped Li Qingning carry the gifts and sent them upstairs. After saying hello to Li Qingning's teacher, he carried the New Year gifts to find Professor Zhang.
He can drink Coke openly again!
Professor Zhang's door was open.
Jiang Yang knocked on the door and walked in after getting a response. He saw that Lao Zhang had guests. These guests were his students. They were also visiting the teacher with New Year gifts as the New Year was coming.
Two of them brought their children.
"Xiao Jiang is here."
Professor Zhang greeted, "What have you been busy with these days? Why haven't you come?"
Jiang Yang: "I'm learning to paint recently."
He still had a tablet in his hand.
This was Jiang Yang's self-deception.
He thought that he could make progress by drawing a few strokes with the painting tools, but in fact, he could not draw many strokes a day unless he sat down to paint seriously. He just wanted to deceive himself.
After he put down the New Year's goods, Professor Zhang introduced Jiang Yang to his students.
These students had heard of Jiang Yang a long time ago.
Now they finally knew who the hanged man who married the big devil was.
One of their classmates was a fan of Li Yu.
When he reached out to shake hands with Jiang Yang, he said that he would ask Jiang Yang to sign for him later.
Classmates joked: "Let the junior sister sign for you, do you still want to save face for our senior brother?"
"What's the use of saving face?"
This classmate: "Some time ago, I went back to school to help, and I saw our school symphony orchestra rehearsing for the Spring Festival cultural activities. Do you know what they were rehearsing? "Butterfly Lovers" violin concerto, written by Li Yu. I was stunned, really, with that level, I am embarrassed to admit that it is his senior brother. You must go to the performance if you have the chance, it would be a pity if you don't."
"Really?"
The classmates promised to go and see it when the time comes.
However——
From their tone, you can tell that they think this classmate is probably praising Jiang Yang.
They think it's normal to praise Jiang Yang based on the teacher's relationship with Jiang Yang.
It's just——
They think this classmate's praise is a bit exaggerated.
They haven't heard it, but they have heard of "Butterfly Lovers".
There were related reports after Li's mother performed on National Day.
But that was a piano solo. They thought that no matter how good the violin concerto that Li Yu adapted from a piano solo was, it would not make a music connoisseur use the word "stupefied". He was not a master composer.
"Don't be silly here."
Professor Zhang reminded Jiang Yang.
Jiang Yang was listening with great interest.
"...Get yourself something to drink. It's still in that cabinet."
Professor Zhang waved to Jiang Yang.
"Oh."
Jiang Yang was reluctant to leave.
Hearing others brag about his wife made him happier than praising his novels.
"If you don't know, you would think he is so good."
Professor Zhang said to the students with a smile.
Jiang Yang knows how to entertain people.
He took out three cans of room temperature cola from the cabinet, one red and two blue. He kept the red can for himself and handed the blue can to the two children brought by the students.
Professor Zhang raised his eyebrows.
There were several cans of red, but he took his blue can.
Did this kid do it on purpose? !
However.
Professor Zhang didn't say anything to him.
He just reminded Jiang Yang: "The students invited me, an old man, to dinner tonight. You should go with me."
Jiang Yang: "I'll ask my wife."
Jiang Yang asked on the phone.
Li Qingning agreed.
She will have dinner at the teacher's place tonight and wait for Jiang Yang: "Don't drink."
"Okay."
Jiang Yang agreed and put away his phone, "Okay, my wife asked me to go, but I can't drink."
Professor Zhang:...
This proud tone--
The students thought about it carefully and felt that he was indeed proud.
Professor Zhang continued to chat with the students.
They talked about nothing but music.
Jiang Yang didn't understand much and was not interested, so he sat next to him with a tablet and started drawing.
When the time was almost up, they went out to the hotel.
The hotel was not far away.
Before they arrived, several other students had arrived in advance.
They greeted Professor Zhang respectfully and looked at Jiang Yang curiously.
When they sat down, Jiang Yang was going to sit at the table with the children, but Professor Zhang waved and Jiang Yang sat next to him.
"This is Jiang Yang."
Professor Zhang introduced to his students.
Then, the drinking started. Jiang Yang was holding a drink, and he didn't fit in. He planned to be invisible, but his strength didn't allow it. Because of Li Qingning, these students chatted with Jiang Yang from time to time.
Then——
When the wine was half drunk, Professor Zhang stood up and raised his glass.
Jiang Yang was drinking Coke.
After seeing everyone stand up, he hurriedly stood up.
Professor Zhang first thanked the students for thinking of him every year, and then said a few words about unity and friendship. Just when Jiang Yang thought he could finally drink Coke, Professor Zhang mentioned him: "Xiao Jiang is a good person. I will add him to your group later. Everyone, please take care of Xiao Jiang in the future. Thank you, teacher."
The classmates hurriedly said to reassure the teacher, and they must.
Although Jiang Yang hadn't thought about these things, he knew that Professor Zhang was doing this for his own good. He was just not very polite, so he just toasted Coke and said thank you to everyone.
After the wine was finished and everyone dispersed, they left the hotel.
The students wanted to see Professor Zhang off, but Professor Zhang refused: "This is close to home. Xiao Jiang and I will go for a walk. You don't have to worry about me. Be careful on the road."
"Well, okay."
The students said goodbye to the teacher and Jiang Yang, and reminded Jiang Yang to remember to write back to them after sending the teacher home safely.
"Okay."
Jiang Yang waved his hand.
After watching them leave, Jiang Yang carried a large bottle of Coke and walked towards his residence with Professor Zhang.
Jiang Yang was also familiar with the terrain here, after all, he had climbed over the wall.
But when he reached an intersection, Professor Zhang did not go to the closer road, but went to another road.
This road passed through a park.
Jiang Yang guessed that Professor Zhang wanted to delay the time.
After all.
They were talking about the Three Body.
After Ye Wenjie was arrested, the story also entered a climax:
Ye Wenjie killed her husband to prove her faith, Chieko, the Guzheng Movement, and insects came one after another--
There were many people in the park.
There were old men and women dancing in the square, parents taking their children out to play, and pairs of young couples.
They walked through the crowd, talking as they walked.
Unconsciously, they got on the bridge in the middle of the lake, and Professor Zhang suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Yang, who walked to the front, took two steps back.
Professor Zhang looked at the lake.
It's winter now, and the lake is very dry and you can't see anything.
However.
When Jiang Yang was in school, he came to the park in the summer.
At that time, the lake was full of lotus flowers near the shore, and there were small fish and ducks, which was very interesting.
"Do you think there are big fish here?"
Jiang Yang asked while lying on the bridge railing, "I wonder if it's as big as the fish I caught."
"Come down."
Professor Zhang reminded Jiang Yang: "Be careful."
"Oh."
Jiang Yang let go of the railing.
Professor Zhang asked Jiang Yang: "Can you swim?"
Jiang Yang: "A little."
Then--
He said: "My wife is a great swimmer."
Professor Zhang believed it.
Everyone knows that Li Yu grew up by the sea.
Jiang Yang: "Last time we went out to sea, it was because my wife was a great swimmer that I dared to catch big fish."
Professor Zhang looked at the lake.
No more words were said.
Jiang Yang was going to say a few words about big fish, but when he saw that Professor Zhang's expression was not right, he held back.
Quiet down.
Professor Zhang looked at the lake in silence.
Jiang Yang did not disturb him, but stood by and accompanied him, occasionally looking out.
He found that the couple on the other side of the lake was very abnormal.
They sat on a chair far from the road and close to the lake, and the girl's head was lowered to the boy's knees.
