Eight hundred and twentieth chapters congratulations(1/2)
On September 7th, Tao Meng also sent a reminder to all members, asking everyone not to forget Teacher's Day and to send blessings to teachers or call them. The monitor is more active during this time and may not be very busy.
I thought there was something really big going on. Yang Jingxing should have put the news about his cooperation with New Ireland on the alumni list to make it really exciting. However, he didn’t show off. After looking at it for a while, he closed the alumni list and went to meet him.
Hu Yiqing and his wife.
At noon, Yang Jingxing called Hu Yiqing to wish him a happy Teacher's Day, but Hu Yiqing's husband Gao Jiandong made an appointment with Yang Jingxing for the dinner that night. He said that his wife was afraid that Yang Jingxing would be too busy today, and was embarrassed to always trouble Yang Jingxing as a teacher. She felt quite ashamed.
But Gao Jiandong was not embarrassed. Knowing that Yang Jingxing had no arrangements, he almost threatened and induced him. He also said that his wife was Yang Jingxing's favorite disciple.
In order for Yang Jingxing to find a place conveniently, and for his wife's happiness, Gao Jiandong booked a seat at the place where he and his wife got married. At six o'clock, Yang Jingxing arrived ten minutes early, reported Gao Jiandong's name, and was ushered into the box.
They were all on time. Yang Jingxing didn't wait for a few minutes before Hu Yiqing and his wife arrived, as well as Gao Jiandong's cousin Gao Ruoyang and his very fashionable and beautiful girlfriend.
After a brief introduction, Yang Jingxing became cheesy: "Happy Teacher's Day, I'll treat Teacher Hu to this meal."
Gao Jiandong completely disagreed. Compared with Teacher's Day, there was something much bigger: "...I'm going to be a father." He was still a little embarrassed.
Fortunately for Yang Jingxing, Gao Ruoyang only knew this. When he was angry, he told the waiter that the most expensive dishes were served next to each other. Gao Jiandong did not resist.
Of course, congratulations to Yang Jingxing, super congratulations to Gao Ruoyang’s girlfriend, and as a woman, I can also ask Hu Yiqing, when was the last time she had her period? Did she have her period checked? Do you want to know the gender...
Hu Yiqing is not shy, just a little nervous and worried. It has only been a little over a month, and Gao Jiandong is against gender checks and wants to save the surprise until the end. He will be equally happy for both men and women.
After ordering the food happily, Gao Jiandong started to make up for his wife. Hu Yiqing wanted to resist, and instead of just caring about her own happiness, she got serious and asked the student: "You didn't say anything when I called you last time."
Yang Jingxing was so happy that he asked, "What did you say?"
Hu Yiqing found it difficult to say: "...break up." She must have heard from her husband that when Gao Jiandong called at noon, he asked Yang Jingxing to take his girlfriend with him.
Before Yang Jingxing could answer, Gao Ruoyang jumped in and said with disdain: "We broke up with each other more than 20 times from the age of sixteen to now, once every six months on average."
Yang Jingxing was even more disdainful: "Obviously bragging."
Gao Ruoyang's girlfriend confirmed for her boyfriend: "He is real!" with a confident expression.
"I'm not convinced." Yang Jingxing discussed with Gao Ruoyang's girlfriend: "Quickly end his record. I want to overtake him."
The fashionable and beautiful woman shook her head modestly: "I can't do it, a man who is playing wild..."
Gao Ruoyang also looked modest: "I'll give you a little challenge."
Gao Jiandong must be worried that students cannot understand the world of social people, so he hurriedly changed the subject with Yang Jingxing: "You mean half a year? It's already gone!"
Yang Jingxing nodded and smiled with Hu Yiqing: "Both you and Teacher Jiang asked me why I wanted to learn music. There was a reason I didn't say. I thought learning music would please girls. Now I know I was wrong."
Hu Yiqing's expression seemed to be that she had deceived Yang Jingxing: "...she has graduated, right?"
Yang Jingxing nodded: "It's almost there, there's still one year left."
Gao Ruoyang's girlfriend reminded Yang Jingxing: "Music is for picking up girls, not for falling in love. Can you play guitar?"
Yang Jingxing shook his head: "Bad, not smart... what do you use to pick up girls?"
Gao Ruoyang still pretended to have a profound expression, but his girlfriend betrayed him: "What else can I do? A smooth tone and a thick skin."
Yang Jingxing wondered: "I am thick-skinned."
Hu Yiqing asked Yang Jingxing what he had asked during the day: "Professor He and the others won't go to New York with you?"
Yang Jingxing shook his head: "I forgot to mention it during the day. I will go to help out on the 6th of next month..."
Right, talk about more happy things. Gao Jiandong also encouraged his wife to take an annual leave and go to the United States with Yang Jingxing to have some fun. Hu Yiqing refused, and the professors didn’t go. What’s the matter?
When Shang Pu's colleagues found out, they had to talk about her again.
Gao Jiandong and Yang Jingxing revealed: "...I don't dare to mention you in school now."
"I didn't do anything bad." Yang Jingxing said in dissatisfaction: "On the day of the wedding, several classmates who went with me often asked whether Teacher Hu and her husband were happy. I said they were extremely happy. Now there is news again, and they still keep asking
I want to see the wedding video.”
Hu Yiqing smiled and explained that she didn't share the wedding video because she felt it was too ugly to cry. Also, the person who made the video didn't film Yang Jingxing and the others well. There was a problem with the lighting and editing. Hu Yiqing was very dissatisfied with this.
In the blink of an eye, almost a year has passed. Everyone except Gao Ruoyang's girlfriend can recall it in this hotel. It seems to be vivid in their minds, although Hu Yiqing only finds it funny now.
Gao Ruoyang's girlfriend imagined whether Yang Jingxing sang at the teacher's wedding, and was also concerned about the details of the entire wedding.
Yang Jingxing could only say: "It's so romantic. Brother Yang has contributed a lot and must have learned it."
Gao Ruoyang's girlfriend doesn't expect her boyfriend and really wants to watch the wedding video...
At the dinner table, the main topic was Hu Yiqing's little life alone. He was a teacher. Hu Yiqing also asked the students to suggest prenatal music, and they are starting to cultivate it now. Hu Yiqing's plan is that boys should learn piano or violin, and girls should only treat it as a hobby.
, otherwise it would be too hard.
The secondary topic was Yang Jingxing's symphony, which interested both those who liked it and those who didn't like it. Hu Yiqing wanted to know how much attention was paid to this new work in New Zealand, what was the international status of the other composer, and how much attention was paid to the work there...
…
Gao Ruoyang's girlfriend was curious about her income. Oh my god, it was so different from what she had imagined. She thought tickets to classical concerts would be so expensive, so how could they not be as good as this dish...
Hu Yiqing is also concerned about whether there are many Level 3 students from Shangpu in the United States. As far as she knows, there is a Shangpu alumni association in North America. It is always a good feeling to have some friends and classmates cheering for you at a concert. It is called meeting an old friend in a foreign country.
Well, Yang Jingxing was very enlightened and didn’t want to trouble his classmates to sit there and endure it for two hours.
After dinner, Yang Jingxing no longer wanted to go to the movies with other couples and friends, so he said goodbye and promised to take photos at the Lincoln Center for the Arts and send them to Hu Yiqing. He was also wished a safe journey and a good start.
After returning to his residence, after nine o'clock, Yang Jingxing took the phone and dialed the number Tao Meng left in the alumni register.
After a few rings, the phone was connected. Yang Jingxing said, "Hello."
Tao Meng said in a softer voice: "Yeah."
Yang Jingxing said in a very happy tone: "I'm Yang Jingxing, can you see the number?"
Tao Meng changed her tone and said, "...I saw it." Compared with half a year ago, her voice had not changed much.
Yang Jingxing asked: "Is it eight o'clock over there? Are you ready for class?"
Tao Meng said: "There is no class in the morning... I will go to the library."
Yang Jingxing: "On the way? Do you live on campus or at home?"
Tao Meng explained: "I live in the dormitory most of the time."
Yang Jingxing said: "I saw your brother's photo."
Tao Meng said yes again.
Yang Jingxing asked: "Grandma is still there? Are you happy?"
Tao Meng affirmed: "Yes, I'm happy."
Yang Jingxing asked again: "Has your father been there?"
Tao Meng said: "I have been here for three days and returned to China the day before yesterday."
Yang Jingxing sighed: "I'm busy enough...are the school courses stressful?"
Tao Meng thought for a while and said: "Fortunately...there are a lot of books to read."
Yang Jingxing was nosy: "What classes are there this semester?"
Tao Meng pondered for a while and listed: "Statistics 110, Microeconomics 1010a, Macroeconomics 1010b, Environment and Natural Resources. There are also core courses, Chinese cultural tradition and transformation, motivation and energy... and literature and art."
Yang Jingxing was stunned: "So many? Are literature and art optional?"
Tao Meng explained calmly: "No, it is a core course and you must take one as an elective."
Yang Jingxing laughed: "Core courses? Americans attach so much importance to art, is it the same as our compulsory study of Marxism-Leninism?"
Tao Meng seemed speechless: "... almost."
Yang Jingxing is also eager to learn: "What does 110 mean? Is there 119?"
Tao Meng was obviously a little tired: "...For example, in statistics, there are several types, 100, 104, 110 and 111, with different contents, and some have different basic requirements...Economics 1011 has higher basic requirements."
Yang Jingxing was dissatisfied: "You should learn 11."
Tao Meng was pragmatic: "I'm not good at math and can't reach 21."
Yang Jingxing was annoyed: "Harvard really wants to exploit other people's only shortcomings."
Tao Meng sounded the alarm: "Life is determined by shortcomings."
Yang Jingxing said solemnly: "I don't agree with this statement. I, Ma Zhe, just passed the exam, so it's not my shortcoming."
Tao Meng was speechless: "...It's different."
Yang Jingxing changed the topic: "How is the dormitory?"
Tao Meng didn't care too much: "It's okay."
Yang Jingxing asked: "Do you have any roommates? I heard that men and women live there together."
Tao Meng said: "The bedroom is single, the living room and bathroom are shared. My roommate is an Indian girl. She sometimes goes back to Boston."
Yang Jingxing was surprised: "Have all Indians gone to Harvard?"
Tao Meng seemed angry: "Careful what you say, you... Zubin Mehta is an Indian... and this girl is a Kshatriya."
Yang Jingxing asked: "What?"
"Watch what you say!" Tao Meng repeated in a louder voice, and then questioned: "Have you never studied history?"
To be continued...
