Old Shadow of the Republic of China 17

Seeing Lin Dehai joining Lin Yuhuai, he said directly: "Don't mess around with him."

Lin Dehai shouted, as if he liked to care about this little thing. He didn't say anything but burped his head and pulled the braised pork head into the bowl, then took a sip of it with a wine glass.

Lin Yuhuai didn't go to see his unlucky appearance, so he turned his face and asked Yang Zi: "When did this idea come true?"

The Fourth Master didn't say anything. When did he have such an idea, he must have followed Bai Kun for a few days before he was thinking about it.

Yang Zi sniffed and stared at the plate of Oriental Fish in front of him and grabbed two bites, as if the salty taste made him feel a little uncomfortable. He just frowned but lowered his head without saying anything. It was not the usual way.

Lin Yutong picked up the vegetables for him and said in a ease of the atmosphere: "Don't keep staring at the dried fish, this elbow tastes good, try it." Everyone calls the dried fish a red seafood dried fish. It is a low price from Japan. It can be bought with two copper plates. It tastes salty and is particularly resistant to eating. Poor people can't afford meat, but this fish can still be afforded for every 100% of the time. Even salt was saved. Yang Zi held a steamed bun in his hand, but did not pick up the vegetables, but only stared at the dried fish. He naturally had to stay after eating the dishes that could not be finished. Next time, he could entertain other guests.

At this moment, Lin Yutong saw that the elbow peeling off and dipped it in vinegar sauce for the plate in front of him. The corner of his mouth moved, and then he looked up, "I heard that Japan is running a school in Liaodong, asking children to learn Japanese language. If everyone just wants to sit in school, then in the future, when my children should go to school, will they have to learn Japanese language at school?"

Lin Yuhuai paused his hand and said for a long time: "Yang Zi is more promising than me. In this way, you are not good at joining the army now." Seeing that Yang Zi was still talking, he waved his hand, "Look at yourself, you are thin and small, like a twelve or thirteen-year-old child. Even if you want to go, others don't want you. You thought you were making a living. So, you have to keep yourself strong first, and then talk. From now on, you still have to go to the school every day. If you are illiterate soldiers, you can be a martial artist! Do you think it's okay?"

OK! Just let go and ask yourself to go.

Yang Zi responded hurriedly.

Lin's mother thought Huaizi was a delaying strategy, and as long as she could keep her child, everything was easy to say. Now that life is better, he has delicious food and drinks at home, and he probably doesn't want to run out in two years. Thinking of this, he looked like he smiled and picked up a chopstick and went over, "Your brother is right, listen to your brother. Let's strengthen your body first."

Lin Dehai curled his lips, stretched out his chopsticks and picked up fat for Lin Yuhuai, and also picked up chopsticks for Lin Yutong, "Eat it! You two have mothers and don't have mothers."

Damn! I'm dead. My son raised you, the third child, for years, when did you feel sorry for that little boy? It's much better than the root seedlings of the Lin family. I figured out who this is?

Lin's mother was holding the chopsticks in her hand, and she was trembling. She didn't put maggots between her mother and son like this. She looked at her eldest son in panic, and then turned to look at Lin Yutong.

Lin Yutong's heart was trembling when facing the fat meat on the plate. The Fourth Master took advantage of the opportunity of the family staring at him and quickly grabbed the fat meat away.

Lin’s mother didn’t pay attention, and as compensation, she picked up another piece for Lin Yutong. Xingzi quickly stopped her: “My eldest sister doesn’t eat fat.”

"" Lin's mother was stunned on the spot with chopsticks, "Fat meat is a good thing, why don't you eat it?"

Of course, life is good, and you can eat at will.

Lin Dehai was very satisfied with the Fourth Master and immediately said, "In the past, our family also had beef, mutton, chicken, and pork was not on the table at all. Now, this pork has become the most delicious. My daughter has followed you, but she has lived a good life."

The Fourth Master’s polite sentences turned the topic to Yang Zi’s academic performance: “Minli Middle School is a little far away from home, but the school runs well. I heard that there are more than a thousand students.”

"The tuition fee is not cheap either." Lin Dehai felt a little painful.

"It costs sixteen yuan per semester." Lin Yutong continued: "Now the family's income is nothing. It's not a burden." I didn't know who said that it was a middle school in Xiangjiang. The cheapest tuition fee for one semester is more than 300 yuan, and the expensive one is about 1,550 yuan per semester. For many people, this is astronomical.

Xingzi quickly answered: "It's not a burden, my mother and I can afford it."

When Yang Zi saw a few words, everyone decided on this matter. Then he said: "As long as the two subjects of Chinese and arithmetics are over 90, I think I can graduate in at most two years." The school only offers six courses, Chinese, self-cultivation, arithmetics, English, geography, history, and nothing else. And especially looking at Chinese and mathematics, you can skip the grade as long as your grades meet the standards. Apart from the tuition fee, the remaining textbook costs are really not much, a book costs eight cents. A semester costs less than 50 cents. With pen, ink, paper and ink, two dollars are as high as the price. So the year-long cost for a middle school student is about 40 yuan.

When Lin's mother saw that she really wanted to ask her younger son to go, she was happy. After seeing Lin Dehai's expression, she said, "Don't look like your fifth aunt's nephew. She doesn't wear any cloth socks when she goes to school. She wants to wear foreign socks and leather shoes. Our family doesn't like your problem."

Lin Yutong was a little amused and wailed. A pair of men's foreign socks only cost five copper plates, but they are not durable. Half a month is the limit. Even leather shoes can be bought for three or five yuan. A boy like Yangzi can probably wear large-sized children's leather shoes, and it only costs more than one yuan to a pair.

She recorded this. On the fifth day of the first lunar month, after the mall opened, she went out to buy Yangzi a dozen foreign socks and a pair of pretty good leather shoes. She also picked paper and pen to represent a gift for him to get into middle school.

When he got home, the Fourth Master came back.

"What are you doing?" Lin Yutong didn't hear that he was going out. Why did he go out after a while?

The Fourth Master looked out before whispering: "Go and take a look. The cultural relics will be transported tonight, and now they are surrounded by water."

We'll still have to be lucky.

The Forbidden City was emptied.

I thought I was going to have something in the city, but I didn’t expect that the city was very quiet. However, in the second half of the night, gunfire outside the city rang for half a night. At dawn, I could hear a few sporadic sounds.

There were many people gathered in the yard, but they didn't go out. As long as the Lin family's house was not bombarded with gunfire, bullets could not fly in. The gunshots disturbed the atmosphere of the New Year. The people were panicked and safe.

Maodong people have more reason not to go out. After the tenth day of the first lunar month, fewer people visiting relatives. Lin Yutong has no guests, and she thought this New Year was over. But she didn't expect that on the eleventh day of the first lunar month, two guests came to her family.

Lin Yutong opened the door and saw two people standing outside the door wearing cotton robes, top hats, black wool scarves, and old-fashioned glasses with black glasses frames on their faces coming to the door. This man looked only in his forties and had a sense of elegance. "Is Mr. Jin Si Ye at home?"

Master Jin Si added a gentleman behind him, why does it sound so awkward?

Lin Yutong didn't care about it and knew that she was coming to find the Fourth Master, so she nodded: "I'm here. I don't know who you are?"

"Hello, I am the head of the Normal University. Su Yingjie, I'm here to visit Mr. Jin." As he said that, he took off his hat and buckled it on his chest, and bowed slightly.

Normal College? It should be a normal college.

The university's education director is equivalent to the vice president in charge of education. It probably distinguishes this way. She can't understand, but she is a guest anyway. No matter why she comes, let the person in first and then say "Please inside."

As he said that, he made a way out and asked someone to come in first. The man was very polite. He did not walk around the yard when he entered the door, but waited for Lin Yutong to close the door before following Lin Yutong, without looking around.

The yard itself was not big, and it was several meters away from the door of the main hall. The Fourth Master heard what the two of them said at the door. He stood at the door of the main hall and greeted him: "It turned out to be Mr. Su, I have long admired him."

Of course, Jiuyang is a kind word. I have never heard of such a person before.

Su Yingjie seemed to have never expected the Fourth Master to be so young. He was stunned for a moment before bowing to his hands: "Reading Mr. Jin's article, I thought he was an old scholar, but I didn't expect that he was such a young talent. It was really surprising." He thought the girl who opened the door was Mr. Jin's daughter. Now it seems that this is clearly a young couple.

The Fourth Master hurriedly invited someone inside: "You are really over-reward."

Lin Yutong went to make tea for the two of them and gave it to them.

Su Yingjie lifted the tea lid and kept saying that he had good tea. When he put down the tea bowl, he looked inside the square table. It seemed like a manuscript. When he looked again, it was actually a theory of diet matching. This was also compiled by Lin Yutong when he was fine. He just thought it was a brain change.

"This is also Mr. Jin's masterpiece." Su Yingjie pointed at the manuscript and hurriedly asked the Fourth Master.

The Fourth Master waved his hand: "That was sorted out by the inner son, I know nothing about this."

Su Yingjie looked at Lin Yutong in surprise: "I'm really here this time. I didn't expect there would be unexpected gains."

The Fourth Master looked at Su Yingjie: "Have you asked Mr. Su yet, you are expensive and cheap, what's the matter?"

"Mr. Jin is too modest." Su Yingjie looked at the Fourth Master with a warm look: "I came here this time to invite Mr. Su to come out and teach in our Normal College."

Teaching?

This was completely beyond the expectations of the Fourth Master and Lin Yutong.

"Why did you find me here?" The Fourth Master was a little surprised.

Su Yingjie was also a little embarrassed, "That's right. The place I live is not far from here, and is separated by two alleys. I have read my husband's articles in the newspaper before, but I never thought that my husband is so close to me. During the Chinese New Year, I heard that the children around me call Mr. Jin a Jin Dashanren. I asked for a while and knew that you were Mr. Jin who wrote articles for the newspaper. So, I took the liberty to come to the door and wanted to ask you to teach."

Lin Yutong and the Fourth Master understood it. There is a saying nowadays, "Peking University is poor, and Qinghua is incompetent." This statement was later misunderstood by many people, thinking that it means that Peking University is too old, Normal University is too poor, and it is easy to take the exam in Yanjing and Qinghua, and can be incompetent. In fact, it is not the same thing at all. This is completely a standard for choosing a mate for knowledge women in Beijing. Peking University is that people who go to Peking University are older, and most of them are married Normal University poor because students at Normal University were basically poor at that time. Because Normal University does not have tuition fees, they are poor at Normal University, so they are poor at Yanjing. That means that those who go to Qinghua and Yanjing are good partners, with a better family background and a good school, so you can consider it.

This Normal University is probably the same as the Normal University. It recruits all poor students, so they can study for free. In this way, the salary of the school teachers is a problem. Jin Siye, a kind-hearted person from Jin Da, is obviously a person who does not value money. So in Su Yingjie's heart, the salary is easy to say.

The Fourth Master understood what happened, so he asked first: "I don't know which teacher I want to hire?"

"You can see the Chinese history in your articles, and it is very profound." Su Yingjie saw that there was a door, so he hurriedly gave him a high hat.

But this is not what the Fourth Master wants to teach. When he thought about what he wanted to do in the future, the most lacking of talent was, so he said: "I can agree to this employment, but I don't know if your school has science and engineering, and what I want to teach about physics and machinery."

Su Yingjie was shocked, "Mr. Jin understands this?"

"Studying in the United States is what I learned." The Fourth Master could only deal with this. If there was a student with a little professional knowledge as an assistant, it would be twice the result with half the effort.

Su Yingjie only felt that he had found a treasure, "There is a physics major in nature, but there is no mechanical major. As long as Mr. Jin can teach, I think many students are willing to sign up for this mechanical class. In the face of national crisis, the significance of this major is immeasurable." He looked very excited.

"Then I have no problem." The Fourth Master nodded at Su Yingjie, "When will school start and when I need to go there, just give me a word."

No matter how much you say you don't mention your salary.

Su Yingjie felt emotional and felt a little embarrassed: "Sir, the school's funding is limited, and he can only pay 30 yuan a month." He may not be able to pay the full amount on time every time.

The Fourth Master waved his hand: "It's okay. It's not important."

Thirty is really not much. The highest university professor can get 500. Of course, the lowest clerk is also over twenty. A substitute teacher is thirty a month, which is really not too much. But we don’t go to college to make a living.

Su Yingjie hurriedly stood up and shook hands with the Fourth Master: "Thank you so much! Thank you so much!" As he said that, he looked at Lin Yutong again, "I call you brother and sister, I don't know if I can hire my brother and sister to teach."

Lin Yutong was stunned for a moment, "Me? What am I going to teach?" He did not have an excuse to study abroad in the United States, and could not say that he was proficient in mathematics out of thin air and could directly become a teacher at a university. This is unrealistic.

"You may not know that our school is a mixed school for men and women, but there are relatively few female students in other majors. Only the domestic affairs department is all female students. After graduating from the domestic affairs department, there are two ways out: one is to be a wife, who can manage the family, and the other way out is a nutritionist. Although our country has the name of nutritionist, in the West, these majors are already very mature." Su Yingjie smiled, "Let's set a precedent."

It turned out that I was hiring myself to teach nutrition. This is OK.

Lin Yutong looked at the Fourth Master and nodded when he saw him, then said to Su Yingjie: "Since Mr. Su thinks I'm suitable, I'll try it."

Su Yingjie immediately stretched out his hand: "I haven't asked the female master Gao's name yet."

"I dare not, Lin Yutong." This is the name on the file she left at the police station now.

"Mr. Lin." Su Yingjie held Lin Yutong's hand and shook it, "I'll ask you in the future."

This man went back excitedly without staying at home. In the evening, he came hurriedly again. This time he came and sent two letters of appointment. "Our dean asked me to come here specially and ask both of you to come here tomorrow."

The Fourth Master happily agreed.

The principal of the Normal School was named Song and was named Song Huaimin. He was an old-fashioned international student. He studied in Germany for several years and also traveled to Europe. His wife, Ms. Yao Hua, was known when he was studying in France. It is said that he also pursued passionately at that time, quite romantic.

The two lived in a small villa with only one daughter under their knees and were only eighteen years old. I heard that they were in church college and were not at home today.

After talking for a while, they learned about their family and experiences. Principal Song then realized that the Fourth Master knew German. He looked very surprised. The two of them talked for a long time and looked very close. Ms. Yao Hua was very elegant and very foreign. It may be related to her growing environment. At home, she wore a Western dress with lace edges, and treated the guests with not tea but coffee. After leaving the meal, they were all French dishes. Seeing that the Fourth Master and Lin Yutong's dining etiquette was natural, Yao Hua's affection for the two immediately increased. In her opinion, she had met a similar type.

But when the two men returned home, Lin Yutong took off their clothes when they went out, she asked the Fourth Master: "Are you not full? Do you want to eat something? I'll do it."

"Just put down the bowl of noodles and peel two cloves of garlic. It's getting late, don't bother." The Fourth Master said, and went to the study and had to organize the lecture notes quickly. Now some subjects are just the beginning. There are no suitable textbooks, and the teacher sorts out the lecture notes and then hand them over to the school, and then carve them out. Therefore, universities like those who don't have tuition fees, but they don't spend any money at all. For example, the cost of this lecture notes will cost several yuan a semester. This is the money that must be paid. The 18th day of the first lunar month begins, and the Fourth Master will first organize the lecture notes for one month within these three days, and then hand them over to the school. They have to carve them out for the students before the start of school.

Therefore, before the New Year was over, both of them became busy.

Before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, two young men who looked like students came to pick up lecture notes. They did not go home during the Chinese New Year, but instead worked part-time at school and did some chores. The Fourth Master handed them the two lecture notes, so he stopped caring about them. He just waited for school to start.
