In the summer of 2002, Hangzhou was as hot as in previous years.
The cicada kept chirping on the willow tree beside the Huajia Pond at Dongfang University, which was particularly annoying.
This is another season of separation on campus, and the sadness of separation echoes over the campus as the graduation song is played on the radio.
Students on summer vacation carry their bags with smiles on their faces, or go home, or travel in groups to have a fun time. Only graduates feel confused and reluctant to give up at this moment.
Looking back suddenly, four years have passed like this. It seems that the moment of entering college has just happened, why is it the time to leave?
There are regrets, regrets for wasting time, and leaving the heroic ambitions of the past far behind.
I am confused and don’t know what kind of life is waiting for me.
I am excited, I will finally create my own life with my own hands, and I will no longer have to ask my parents for money. Everything is full of novelty and unknown.
…
Graduation really means a lot, but for Li Peicheng, graduation just means saying goodbye to his classmates who have been together for four years.
He doesn't need to regret it, because he studied hard every moment during his four years in college. He received a first-class scholarship every year and was a three-star student every year.
He doesn't need to be confused, because he still has to continue his life as a student, not just as an undergraduate, but as a graduate student.
He was not excited either. Although his life as a graduate student had not yet begun, at the beginning of the summer vacation of his freshman year, he took the initiative to ask his teacher to allow him to be a scientific research assistant, so he was no stranger to his future life.
Li Peicheng likes school life, which is plain and fulfilling, simple and regular, full of youth and laughter, and full of the smell of books.
Beside the Huajia Pond, there is a three-story modern building, which is the school library. A student who is about 1.75 meters tall, has a strong body, a straight nose, a broad forehead, and a fairly average appearance sits on a
There was a thick book on his chest in front of the table by the window, but his eyes were a little wandering, and he looked up out of the window from time to time.
It was difficult for Li Peicheng to calm down and read a book today, because just at noon, the last classmate in his dormitory also left the school.
"Bless you! My dear classmates!" Li Peicheng silently blessed in his heart.
"Director Sun Da, what kind of wind has brought you here!"
Professor He greeted a somewhat stout middle-aged man with a smile on his face. That middle-aged man was Sun Xinpin, director of the Garden Bureau of Xihu District, Hangzhou City.
Professor He is a middle-aged man who looks very scholarly. He is Li Peicheng's mentor, the subject leader of the Department of Resource Science, a professor who returned from studying in the United States, and a doctoral supervisor. He and Director Sun are university classmates.
"How can I, a humble official like me, deserve to be called you, Professor He Da?" Director Sun shook his head mockingly.
"These days, all our money for academic research is in the hands of you officials. If I don't flatter you as officials, I'm afraid there will be no place for the money for this year's scientific research projects!" Professor He personally poured money for Director Sun.
After having a cup of tea, he said half-jokingly.
Director Sun agreed with what Professor He said. These days, learning has begun to be linked to the economy. I don’t know a few officials and big money, so it’s really hard to get money for scientific research projects. Although Sun Xinpin is just a small garden gardener in the district,
Director, but these days the Garden Bureau has sufficient funds, especially since Hangzhou is a tourist city, and the funds are not a small amount. We really need to squeeze out some money to cooperate with domestic first-class universities and first-class professors on some scientific research projects and create some gimmicks
, it’s really not impossible to achieve some political achievements.
"Our bureau does have a budget for scientific research every year. As long as you, Professor He, don't mind the lack of money and the smallness of our project, I will be happy to work with you and get some light from your great professor." Director Sun took a sip.
Tea, said with a smile.
Professor He smiled and said: "That's good. It seems that the God of Wealth is here today. This is feasible. When will I ask my students to discuss with the people in your bureau to establish a project."
"Okay, but then the project leader had better write your name, so that I can look brighter. Maybe I can use your name to get some money and some awards from the provincial bureau." Director Sun said.
Professor He smiled and said: "You are still as smart as before!"
"You can't do it if you're not smart. Don't look at me as a junior official. There are a lot of people staring at the seat under my butt! It's you who are engaged in scientific research. You are better as a professor, you are respected by people, and you get a lot of money." Director Sun said.
.
"Haha, look, here we come again! Tell me, old classmate, what exactly do you want to see me for today?" Professor He smiled and then asked seriously.
"It's not because of my precious daughter!" Director Sun looked troubled.
"You mean Xuanxuan?" Professor He asked in surprise.
Director Sun nodded, "If not her, who else?"
"Oh, by the way, she is supposed to take the high school entrance exam this year. How did she do in the exam?" Professor He asked.
Because both of them are in Hangzhou, although they are busy with work and don't get together much, they still have some contact, so Professor He still has some understanding of Sun Xiaoxuan's situation.
"Alas, this little girl's grades have been very good in the first and second grades of junior high school, but since the third grade of junior high school, she has been going downhill and her exams have not been good." Director Sun sighed.
"Oh, do you need my help to implement the school?" Professor He knew many people in the education circle. As long as Sun Xiaoxuan's grades are not too bad, it is still possible to implement a key high school.
Director Sun was slightly moved by Professor He's words. In these days of being in the officialdom, either you plot against me or I plot against you. Who will sincerely serve you? Only the friendship between classmates will never fade away with the passage of time.
And no matter what changes, it is still so profound and simple.
"My old classmate is interested. No need to trouble you. I have already helped her implement Xuejun Middle School." Director Sun said gratefully.
Xuejun Middle School is one of the top key high schools in Hangzhou.
"That's it, then what else do you need my help with?" Professor He asked.
"Hey, Lao He, you also know that Xia Han and I are very busy. Not to mention during the day, even at night and on weekends, sometimes we can't spare time. It's summer vacation, this girl is going crazy, and there's nothing we can do about it.
I take care of her at home. She has a bad foundation and went to a key high school. I'm afraid she won't be able to keep up and lose her self-confidence. I can do it well in high school, but I don't have this ability in college, so I want to help her find a tutor.
.There are too many tutors these days, good and bad. I have hired a few before, but none of them were suitable. After thinking about it, I still bother you. You are a teacher and you have many students. See if you can help me find one and help me take care of this.
Girl, by the way, I’ll also help her make up some extra classes in advance.” Director Sun said a little embarrassed.
Asking a famous professor to help with such a big thing is indeed overkill, but for the sake of his precious daughter, Director Sun had no choice but to be shameless. Fortunately, they were all old classmates, so there was nothing to be ashamed of.
"One is an official and the other is a doctor. They really don't have time to take care of the children. It's easy to handle, easy to handle! I really have a good student here. His family is poor, so he has been working as a tutor when he was an undergraduate to make money for his studies. This year he was
The college recommends graduate students, or direct master's and doctoral studies, so I specially asked him to come. He is just a boy, but I can guarantee that his character and knowledge are absolutely excellent, and he is steady and reliable in his work." Professor He said.
Director Sun was very surprised when he heard this. As an old classmate, he knew that Professor He was meticulous and very rigorous in doing things. It was rare for someone to be so valued and praised by him.
"It doesn't matter if it's a boy. My girl is very wild now, and only a boy can hold her down! Besides, the person who can be praised like this by you is definitely a talented person." Director Sun said.
Professor He nodded in agreement, and then asked: "Do you want me to call him to meet you now? By the way, you two can have a chat and see if it's suitable?"
Director Sun certainly trusted Professor He's vision, but Professor He's appreciation for the student made Director Sun very curious, so he agreed to Professor He's proposal.
