Chapter 25 Teacher
After bringing some things, Canghai drove to the school and visited his mentor at the agreed time.
The family area of the school where Professor Guan lives is a three-bedroom and two-living house. The building is quite old. However, because everyone lives in the first-class scholars, all the corridors are clean and the surrounding scenery is very good. Although the school is in the downtown area, it is a quiet place. As soon as you enter the courtyard, you feel the green trees are as shade as the birds sing and crowing into your ears from time to time, making people feel quiet.
After going upstairs, I stood at the door and knocked gently. Soon, a sound came from the house: Come on.
As soon as the door opened, Cang Huo saw a woman of forty-five or six standing at the door, tall and 1.78 meters tall. She didn't have any fat on her body at this age. She had a figure like a girl in her twenties, with an oval face, willow-leaf eyebrows, big eyes and high nose bridge. Even if she was beautiful, she was not inferior to the little girl. She had a different kind of bookish atmosphere than the little girl.
This is the wife of Canghai’s teacher Guan Qidong, named Qin Lingling. She is a professor of English at the university. She has given Canghai a lot of English training before, and she is also half of Canghai’s teacher.
"Master's wife!"
Canghai shouted.
"Xiao Cang is here, come in quickly. Your teacher is already waiting for you in the study." Qin Lingling immediately smiled when she saw Cang Hai.
The master's wife is from Jiangnan. She speaks with a little bit of Wu Nong's soft voices from Jiangnan water wind, which is very nice.
"Come here as soon as possible, what else can I bring!" Qin Lingling said with a little reproach.
Cang Hai raised his hand: "It's not a valuable thing. Just know the teacher, I bought a little bite."
When he walked into the teacher's door, Canghai didn't carry any expensive things. He picked up the teacher and his wife's preferences and made some fish and shrimp. The value was not very high, but it reflected his heart and knew what the teacher and his wife liked to eat.
"The sea is here!"
As soon as he entered the door, Canghai heard his teacher's voice coming out of the study.
Qin Lingling said loudly: "Laoguan, Canghai is here."
"Let him in!"
Hearing the teacher say this, Canghai smiled at the teacher's wife, and then walked straight into the study.
As soon as I entered the study, I saw a watercolor painting on the workbench where the teacher Guan Qidong was standing. The painting was quite large, and the board of No. 0 occupied a full piece.
Learning watercolor painting in architecture is a basic skill. As long as you graduate from a regular college, there is nothing you can't draw. Of course, as a master-level figure, Guan Qidong's watercolor painting is also famous.
Canghai stood next to the teacher, took a look, and saw that the picture was a Ming and Qing buildings with white walls and black tiles, which painted the ancient town of Jiangnan water town.
Canghai's entry did not affect Guan Qidong's painting, and the master and apprentice did not say anything. One painted quietly, and the other stood beside him and stood with his hands, looking quietly.
This situation has happened countless times. When Canghai was in school, he would come to the teacher's house whenever he had time. Seeing the teacher draw like this, but at that time, Guan Qidong would explain to Canghai how to write and how to dye it. Now Canghai has no big problems in painting skills. What he lacks is just the timing and the experience of time.
The master and apprentice stood for half an hour. During this period, Qin Lingling entered the house and sent tea to the two of them. She didn't come in and disturb the master and apprentice at any other time.
After putting the pen, Guan Qidong took a look at his painting, and then asked at Canghai: "How is it?"
"The teacher's techniques are getting more and more experienced," Cang Huo praised.
"You are diligent and wasteful. Even if you work, you have to work hard. Also, if you have time, don't always think about making money. How old are you? Take some time to take a graduate student. At that time, you will be able to stay in school to teach or go out to work. What's the point of starting from now on? What's the point of being a little bit of money in a small company all day long?"
Guan Qidong put down the brush in his hand and said to Cang Hai while wiping his hands.
As he said that, Guan Qidong signaled Canghai and himself to sit down on the soft stools on both sides, picked up the tea and asked again: "How are you and Xiao Zhou? She has read it. She is working well now. Let's discuss it with her. The two of them have been hard for a few years and let you study for a graduate student. Wait for you to study, and their lives will be prosperous..."
When Cang Hai heard the teacher say this, his face became embarrassed.
"What?" Guan Qidong asked when he saw it.
"Teacher, she and I broke up last year." Cang Hai did not think about hiding it, so he told the teacher the news of his breakup with Zhou Xinhui.
Guan Qidong couldn't help but frowned: "What's going on?"
Cang Hai said: "It's nothing big, but the two of them feel more and more inappropriate when they get along. Why do they have to get together if they are not happy?"
Guan Qidong glanced at Canghai and knew this student Guan Qidong. He thought for a while and sighed and said, "Hey, who could have thought of it?"
Even if Canghai didn't say that Guan Qidong lived so old, and he knew Canghai and Zhou Xinhui, he could not guess what the reason for the breakup. When he was admitted to graduate school, Guan Qidong didn't want Canghai to give this place. He advocated Canghai to study first, but he felt that Zhou Xinhui was a bit vain and was afraid that Canghai would not leave the student in the future. Now, he saw that what he was worried about at the beginning had happened.
However, Guan Qidong didn't think much about this. He said a word and asked Cang Hai: "What do you want to do next? Continue to waste your life in your small company?"
"Teacher, I want to go back to my hometown to start a business!"
Since he decided to say goodbye, Canghai naturally could not hide his teacher from his teacher, so he opened his mouth to tell Guan Qidong about his thoughts.
Guan Qidong is a person who has been to the inland border. He has been to the murals on the border and visited the mountains and moons of the border river. Even if he has not been to his hometown in Canghai, he can think of the general situation.
However, Guan Qidong is a cunning person. When he saw Cang Hai, he swallowed the words of persuasion back into his stomach. Moreover, in his opinion, it is not a bad thing for young people to have more experience. When this kid was knocked over by his ideal, he would naturally come back to Ansheng for a graduate exam and return to his own disciple again.
Guan Qidong did not have much doubt about this, so he was not in a hurry. With his age, he naturally regarded Canghai as the successor of the mantle, then Guan Qidong's requirements for Canghai were not only academic, but also character.
After asking about Cang Hai's plan in detail, Guan Qidong felt that this kid still looked a little bit, so he stopped talking and did not advise Cang Hai to stay in the Magic City for a postgraduate entrance examination.
After a while, the topic turned to architecture. Guan Qidong evaluated several buildings in China and also talked about the style trends of modern architecture today.
At this time, Canghai had no choice but to listen.
Speaking of construction, Guan Qidong was so energetic. He talked about it from abroad to China, and from modern to seniors. He talked about it for more than an hour, but he was not thirsty.
It was not until Qin Lingling pushed the door and asked the two to go out for dinner that she stopped her mouth.
The teacher's meals are simpler, including three people, four dishes and one soup, steamed sea bass, a plate of salted water prawns, and a portion of garlic and vegetable seedlings. The soup is simple tomato and egg soup, almost the same as Canghai used to come to home when he was in school.
Sitting at the table, Qin Lingling asked about Canghai's situation again. When she heard that she broke up with Zhou Xinhui, she felt a little sigh. She was also worried that Canghai, the child, was not worth it. The couple were both clear-minded and clear-headed characters, and they didn't need to think too much to guess why the two separated.
"Linlin came back this summer vacation. This girl has never suffered any hardships since she was a child. Then I will let her live in your place for a while so that she can know what hard days are," said Guan Qidong.
Linlin is the only daughter of the teacher, and her name is Guan Lin. She is studying abroad now. She naturally loves this daughter and her husband. Because she has loved her since she was a child, she seems a bit unreliable to them. In the words of the couple, she dresses like a ghost all day long, and can have four or five pierced ears on one ear and hangs them in a circle of earrings.
Although the couple didn't like it, they couldn't control their daughter very much, so they had to let it go.
"Linlin is just a little naughty, but in fact she is quite principled," Cang Hai said.
This is not because Cang Hai is praising her junior sister, but because of this. Linlin is actually like Qi Yue, who is a small trumpet. Although she is swaying, she is not messy and has a strong sense of self-protection. She is a reliable girl who shows off her appearance and softness on her heart.
"Hey! I feel a headache when I think of this girl!" Guan Qidong said.
As parents, the couple's perspective is different from Canghai. They are always too worried about their children, fearing that they will suffer any losses outside.
"It's good to send it to Canghai, so as to avoid running around when you come back. If you throw it in the mountains, I'll see how wild she is!" Qin Lingling also thought this was a good idea.
I only smiled bitterly in my heart when Canghai heard it: If I send it here, Linlin might have suffered a little. By the middle of the year, if I can't make my life comfortable, I'm sorry for the space I have obtained. I'm afraid that the little girl will still be happy all day long when she arrives at me.
