In a nearby small restaurant, Lao Zhou and Lao Xiang asked Zhou Cheng to eat, but Zhou Cheng was afraid that he would not have enough stomach, so he refused later: "Dad, Mom, you two eat more. I can see that you will eat more at noon."
I definitely didn’t eat it.”
"I have something to do tonight, so I need to empty my stomach."
Lao Zhou just felt sorry for Zhou Cheng, not that he was ignorant, as interpersonal relationships are the norm in the world, but he still scooped a bowl of soup for Zhou Cheng.
"Nuan Nuanwei, your mother and I have limited abilities, so we are trying to break into something now." Lao Zhou looked guilty and spoke in a heavy tone.
Lao Xiang just lowered his head.
Zhou Cheng put his hands on Lao Zhou's shoulders and said with a smile: "We can just strive for a decent reputation in the village or town. Why compete with others?"
"My pocket money is not less than mine. Compared with my former classmates, I am much happier now, dad."
During the training period and after graduation, Lao Zhou and Lao Xiang always had a lot of support and respected his choice, giving him a final escape route.
No one is perfect, even if they are from a peaceful family, some people can be beaten to death.
Being able to have the current reputation is not to mention how glorious it is in the town, but at least having a college student and a master's degree is already quite an honor.
How much could be uncovered by digging up Lao Zhou's old roots? Zhou Cheng never considered this.
"When my son grows up, he will be able to comfort people." Lao Zhou wiped the corners of his eyes and his voice was slightly low.
Lao Xiang was still silent. She was happy when she came, but now she knew in her heart that Zhou Cheng's wings had stiffened and he had to fly farther away. She was no longer the same person, circling around in front of him.
The children are gone.
The young eagle always has its day to soar, and she is about to reach her old age.
Zhou Cheng saw that the atmosphere between the two was not right, so he added: "How about I go back to the town hospital to eat my old age?"
What came was a big blow from Lao Zhou.
"As a serious graduate student, are you embarrassed to go to the town hospital?" Lao Zhou laughed and scolded without using any force.
Zhou Chengcheng said: "I am supporting the country's primary medical care. How can you understand this, dad?"
"Stop being a good boy." Lao Zhou still knew that Zhou Cheng was trying to comfort them, and then he changed the topic and asked, "You just said that girl is sitting next to us?"
Lao Xiang then nodded and answered: "I've seen it. She's sitting on my left. She looks very obedient (beautiful)."
"I'm still thinking about such a beautiful girl..."
Lao Xiang is already interested in this topic.
Zhou Cheng nodded: "Well, I just have a good impression now, so I won't bother my parents to help me with my partner. She is from Shashi."
However, Lao Zhou's expression turned serious and he asked seriously: "Buying a house in Shashi now will cost a lot of money, right? You haven't finished your job yet, and you are under pressure to pay off the mortgage."
"Girls in the city now want cars and houses, but this is just to make it easier for you to start off in the future."
"You should take a look when you have time."
Zhou Cheng shook his head and said, "Dad, please don't rush this yet."
Then Zhou Cheng leaned next to Lao Zhou and said a few words.
Lao Zhou was excited: "Is there such a good thing? Can you also recruit talents?"
"It's not enough now, but I won't know for sure in the future. The time line for studying medicine is already very long. I will also study for a doctorate later and see if I can apply for a full scholarship to go abroad if I have the opportunity."
"You don't have to worry about the family, I just can't help the family for the time being."
Lao Zhou said: "We save the pension money for your mother and I ourselves, so you don't need to think about it. If you have the opportunity, work hard. The current policy is good, and we can help you to some extent."
"If you think the time is right, you can get married and have a baby. Your mother and I can even take care of it for you."
Lao Zhou wanted to help, but then he thought again: "Isn't studying for a Ph.D. very hard? Will having a family be a drag?"
Then he shook his head violently and sighed: "My son is upset if he doesn't live up to his expectations. If he does, he also has a lot of worries. You are just a debt collector."
Lao Xiang quit and got angry with Zhou Cheng: "You are my treasure. He thinks you are collecting debts. He will live on his own when he grows old. Leave him alone."
Zhou Cheng certainly wouldn't believe his mother's words. If he really believed it, he would probably throw her out if he twisted his ears. This old couple, noisy and quarrelsome, but they are of the same mind: "Then I will listen to mother's words."
Lao Zhou turned his head and muttered: "You are really the one who wants to sow discord between our father and son, right?"
Lao Xiang didn't answer or continue the topic, and asked again: "How is that girl's family situation? When she gets married, she will definitely want a house, right?"
Lao Xiang is probably still thinking about buying a house.
"You have to have a house, but mom, don't worry about it."
Just as he was talking, Zhou Cheng's phone rang. He stood up, apologized to his parents and said, "I'll answer the phone."
"Hurry up and get down to business." Lao Zhou waved his hand, put down the rice bowl, etc., and sorted out the soup bowl in front of Zhou Cheng.
The call Zhou Cheng answered was from Ding Changle. He didn't say much, but the message was that it was time to go have dinner.
Zhou Cheng could only say goodbye to Lao Zhou and Laoxiang, and walked out of the restaurant under the complicated eyes of his parents. He did not look back, but felt complicated and tangled in his heart.
Lao Zhou and Lao Xiang suddenly felt that the dishes in front of them were boring.
They didn't eat anymore, but looked at each other: "We may be really getting old."
"Why do you talk so much about your child's ambition? You have to make him get into trouble outside and you wipe his butt to be considered a child?"
"Let's eat more, take good care of our bodies, and let our children worry less. This is one of the things we can do now."
"Let's be good. If we have a chance, we'll read more."
"That girl is at least a graduate student, and her family members are all well-educated. I'm afraid the two of us won't even be able to talk to our wife in the future. We are not of our generation anymore, and we have to keep pace with the times."
"I haven't read a day, I just took a literacy class. Are you bullying me for not being able to read?"
"Let's learn together. Otherwise, what would you do now? There is no grandson yet. I estimate it will be a few years before I think about getting married and raising children."
Lao Zhou continued: "My son just said that when he gets a postdoctoral degree and has a stable job, he will have a good amount of talent recruitment expenses to settle down. If the daughter also has one, we don't have to worry about buying a house and a car."
"Xiao Cheng is sensible and comes from our family, but you can't ask other people's girls to be like Xiao Cheng and chat with us about the daily routine in the house every day."
"oh."
"I didn't have the chance to study when I was a child, but now I have to find something to do for myself." Lao Xiang laughed. She actually yearned for studying.
…
There were not many people at the teacher-appreciation banquet in the evening, and it was mainly Cai Dongfan who arranged it.
There are eight people including Du Yanjun, Cai Dongfan, Lei Zhong and Gui Lao, plus Zhou, the number becomes nine.
Cai Dongfan has already arranged the place.
After entering, Gui Yuanping and others no longer mentioned the defense matter, nor did they say anything about the topics they would discuss later. Gui Yuanping just said to Zhou Cheng with a smile.
"Xiao Zhou, regarding your defense signature, whether Professor Zhang and Professor Yan will sign it depends on your current performance."
"The two professors have come a long way, so you have to accompany them. After all, it is for your business, and both professors deliberately delayed their schedules," Gui Yuanping said.
Zeng Diwei also said: "You have to accompany me well."
Cai Dongfan and Lei Zhong laughed throughout the whole process. Zhou Cheng nodded and bowed slightly to Professor Zhang Xingze, Yan Xuedong and others: "Thank you for your hard work, teachers."
However, even though Zhou Cheng greeted them with a smile, the expressions of these two people were slightly bitter, and their eyes kept scanning Gui Yuanping and Zeng Diwei, probably because they had suffered some loss.
Sighing, Zhang Xinghua said: "If you do a good job, you will be a very good child."
If you add it, it will be quite meaningful.
Zhou Cheng didn't ask any more questions and just tried his best to show off.
First, we walked around and drank a glass of wine each. Then we walked around a small circle and drank a glass or two of each person. I also gave special thanks to Professor Cai Dongfan and Professor Lei Zhong.
One and a half pounds, Zhou Cheng is already a little drunk!
Seeing Zhou Cheng's cheerful attitude, neither Zhang Xinghua nor Yan Xuedong dared to pour the anger they got from Gui Yuanping on Zhou Cheng.
This young man is also a sweet-tempered person. He drinks cup after cup. If he really wants to cause problems, Gui Yuanping will never finish with them.
After having enough wine and food, Zhou Cheng was sent to the nearest hotel by Du Yanjun, and then called Ding Changle, who then arranged for people to make arrangements for the professors.
A speechless night!
The next day.
At six o'clock in the morning, Zhou Cheng woke up from a deep sleep and saw many missed calls, including those from An Ruo and his parents, but they had not called many times.
Looking at the message again, Lao Zhou didn't send it, but An Ruo said: "Zhou Cheng, remember to send all the teachers to the airport tomorrow, and then give them gifts. It's best if you do it yourself.
."
Zhou Cheng certainly remembered this, and immediately sent a message to ask Du Yanjun. However, Du Yanjun did not know the specific arrangements of the teachers, so he asked Zhou Cheng to call Ding Changle.
After asking everyone one by one, Zhou Cheng drove to pick them up and drop them off one by one.
Gui Yuanping left last, and Zeng Diwei was the first.
After learning that Zhou Cheng had sent the person away in person, Lei Zhong, Cai Dongfan and others made no further arrangements.
On the way, Zhou Cheng said to Zeng Diwei: "Teacher Zeng, I'm sorry. I actually had some misunderstandings about you before. It was only recently that I learned the real situation."
Zeng Diwei's personality is too weird. If you don't think about it deeply, no one will know what he is doing.
Even Xue Xiude didn't know. How did he know what Zeng Diwei's plans were?
Zeng Diwei sighed: "There are many shackles on the road of life. The most difficult to break are the shackles from the heart. If you can open a window for this shackles, it will be enlightenment and sublimation."
"Visible shackles can be seen by everyone, but cannot be broken through. Intangible shackles are the most difficult to see."
"Xiao Zhou, you have your own destiny, so you must take advantage of it."
"Teacher, I have one more sentence for you: don't distrust others, don't trust everyone!"
"Don't force yourself on people, and don't force yourself on things."
After Zeng Diwei finished speaking, he started to laugh, and then changed the subject and said: "You and your other senior brothers are not allowed to talk about these things."
"I have so many arrangements for them, which is quite time-consuming."
Zhou Cheng naturally did not dare to influence Zeng Diwei's arrangements for others. Everyone had their own teaching philosophy. He could not say that Zeng Diwei's teaching was bad or good.
"Teacher, thank you for these words. I have remembered them all."
Then, Zhou Cheng paid attention to a particularly sensitive topic: "Teacher, what about my defense?"
Zeng Diwei smiled heartily: "If you are pursuing a master's degree or a doctoral degree, you have already completed your defense. If you are facing a great world, your defense has not yet begun."
"You just write, when to finish, how to write, how to finish, how to thank you. You can understand it deeply."
"Studying in elementary school is about learning, and studying in college is also about learning. It all depends on what you use as a pen."
Zhou Cheng's heart trembled slightly, and he knew that Zeng Diwei's plan must not be simple, but he got the answer. His doctoral defense had been passed, but Zeng Diwei opened another picture for him.
Doctor, this world is not full of people, but there are many.
There are no specific requirements for doctorate level, and Zeng Diwei also drew a prototype for him. In addition to knowledge, there are still great rivers and mountains.
Zhou Cheng asked greedily: "Can I ask, teacher, what kind of pen do you have?"
"Peach and plum." Zeng Diwei simply said this.
Then added: "Professor Gui is a firework."
"Yan Xuedong is flesh and blood."
"Zhang Xinghua, we've just started, so it's not easy to argue."
Zhou Cheng smiled bitterly, Teacher, can you stop being so mysterious? We are not discussing Zen, I am asking you for advice.
But, no matter how the teacher teaches, how do you listen? If you force him to feed you something, it would be a bit forceful, and you would be inferior.
…
After personally watching Zeng Diwei enter the security check, Zhou Cheng then exited again, and then sent Yan Xuedong, Zhang Lei, and Zhang Xinghua to the airport and high-speed rail station.
However, they are not responsible for telling Zhou Cheng so much. After praising him for a while, if Zhou Cheng hadn't had some cultivation skills, he would have been in a state of ecstasy, and then tried to win over Zhou Cheng, hoping that Zhou Cheng could go to their place.
Work.
The academician farmer's hoe is quite attractive.
After going there, there was no guarantee that they would be rich and powerful. It would be easy to buy one or two houses at first. This was how much they valued Zhou Cheng.
Zhou Cheng naturally declined at first and did not say anything to death, so it was not a way out.
When sending Gui Yuanping off again, Gui Yuanping didn't say anything to Zhou Cheng, but just told him something very important.
That is, Lu Qianzhou, who is now overseas, has noticed that he is being secretly monitored.
Therefore, in the next period of time, Zhou Cheng will have to arrange and plan his own affairs, and he probably won't be able to spare much time.
"Is Teacher Lu okay?" Zhou Cheng asked nervously.
If we talk about the great intellectual encounter, it is definitely Cai Dongfan. The lesser intellectual encounter is definitely Lu Qianzhou. From the moment he met Lu Qianzhou, Zhou Cheng's road has been quite smooth.
"You can rest assured that although your senior brother has a bit of an eccentric temperament, he is still very reliable in his work. But the worst result is that he will return to his country." Zeng Diwei replied.
"Alas!" Zhou Cheng sighed after hearing this.
It takes a lot of courage to make this decision when Lu Qianzhou is at that point.
Zhou Cheng continued: "Teacher, after I finish my work here, I will come back to you in September or November."
"Okay." Gui Yuanping also nodded. He couldn't leave Zhou Cheng alone.
However, Zhou Cheng still needs to do some things of his own.
