Chapter 16 Chapter fifteen

Shi Yan was left speechless by the question, and after thinking for a while, she said: "But you are not from D City, you are going to leave D City anyway, why don't you leave sooner? Don't you have to get them to start?" Are you leaving again?" "But I don't feel relieved if I don't go to the hometown of 'Pork Belly'—I will stay one more day—should—" "How about I help you go to her hometown to find out—" Huang Hai resolutely objected: "No, no, I am determined not to let you get involved in this matter again, I have already implicated you and brought you a lot of trouble—"

Now Shi Yan knows how to persuade Huang Hai to leave City D: "Then you should leave City D as soon as possible, otherwise, I will have to go to the hometown of 'Pork Belly' for you." Huang Hai was silent for a while, and said: "Okay, I'll leave City D right away, and I'll leave now, and I can still take the evening bus to City E—when I get there—I'll try to buy a ticket back to City F—" She hesitated for a moment and said: "Zhao Zhuo said——He has a friend in City E who can buy a sleeper ticket to City F. He told you to go to his friend to buy a ticket. He said——that friend can be trusted. of--"

Huang Hai didn't say anything, but Shi Yan reckoned that his face must be ugly, so she bit the bullet and said: "This is his friend's phone number, I told you, please remember—" Unexpectedly, Huang Hai said obediently: "Okay, you can tell—" Shi Yan told Huang Hai the phone number, and asked with concern: "Do you have enough money?" "That's enough, don't you worry about me, I'm--I'll be fine--I'm just worried about you--" "Don't worry about me, I'll be fine. Be careful in the future—" "I know—" Both of them were silent.

When exhorting each other like this, Shi Yan felt like she was in the play again, as if this was not a parting message in times of crisis, but rehearsing lines for a play.She couldn't remember what the people in the movie said up to this point, but she heard Huang Hai say softly, "Shi Yan'er, I—I really don't know—how to thank you, you——helped me So much—I'll never forget—" A "Shi Yan'er" brought her back to the time when she was in high school with him. At that time, everyone in her class called her "Shi Yan'er". It was her custom. After some names, people would call her "Shi Yaner". The word "er" is added, which is a soft word, and it is pronounced after the previous word.Some characters may be difficult to pronounce as names, so the people at her place added the word "er" to make it easier to pronounce.Whether or not to add this "er" is determined by the last word of the name. For example, "Huang Hai" will not be called "Huang Haier", because "海" is the so-called "open mouth" when pronounced with the mouth open. Big enough to grow well.But "Yan" is different. It is the so-called "chuukouhu". When pronouncing it, the mouth is not wide enough, and the word "er" is not added, so it is not so convenient to pronounce.

After coming to the teacher's college, she was rarely called that, because the people in the class came from all over the world. Although most of them were from E province, everyone's hometown dialect was different.I don't know who made the rule, but everyone in the class calls each other by surname, so many people call her "Shi". Huang Hai also called her "Shi Yan'er" before, but he never called her "Shi Yan'er" when he wrote letters, and he didn't seem to call her that way this time.On the day of parting today, he suddenly called out in such a low voice, which made her feel a little bit of reluctance, and a thought of "reluctant goodbye" popped up in her mind, and it seemed that someone was narrating in her ear : "See? This is called 'Yiyi Saying Farewell'"

She was distracted for a while, then returned to reality, and urged: "Stop saying such polite words, hurry up and take the train, and remember to tell me when you get back to University A safely—" After making the phone call, Shi Yan was relieved, and walked back to the dormitory with ease, only to find that everyone had gone to the study room, only Yao Xiaoping was sitting leisurely by the bed knitting a sweater, and when she saw her back, she beckoned mysteriously She went over: "Come on, let me talk to you." Shi Yan walked to Yao Xiaoping's bed and asked, "Why didn't you go to the study room?"

"waiting for you--" She thought it was about Huang Hai again, and hurriedly asked: "What's the matter? What did you hear again—news?" "Jing asked us to play cards tonight, will you go?" She breathed a sigh of relief: "Playing cards? Just met, why did you think of asking us to play cards?" "Maybe I want to find a chance to be with me." Seeing the proud look on Yao Xiaoping's face, Shi Yan suddenly understood why Yao Xiaoping asked her "how is being rigorous" yesterday.She regretted that she said "short" and "hiccup" yesterday, but how could she have thought of Yao Xiaoping's meaning?In her mind, a married woman is not interested in any other man.She joked: "You ran to play cards with Yan Jing, are you afraid that your 'black paint bench' will break your legs?"

"How would he know? Are you going to inform me on the black lacquered bench?" "My mouth isn't that long." She wondered curiously, how could there be only three people playing cards?There must be another person, maybe it is Zhuoyou, she became a little interested and asked, "Just the three of us?" "Strictness will find someone—" "Are you looking for—Excellence?" "It must be. There are rigors, but there is no excellence? They wear jumpsuits." "The two of them are so far apart in age, how can they wear crotch pants?"

"You're mistaken. Excellence and Rigorousness are about the same age. Both are only twenty-six or seven. It's only been two years since Zhuo Zhuo graduated as a graduate student." Shi Yan didn't expect Zhuoyue to be so young, so he became happy for no reason, and asked: "Then how did he and Yan Jing become good friends? Yan Jing also graduated from K University?" "No, rigor is what we graduated from the Teachers College." "After graduating from the teacher's college, can you become a teacher in the teacher's college?" "Then what school do you think the teachers in the teacher's college should have graduated from?"

"I thought—at least it's a better school than the Teacher's College, right?" "Who would want to come to this crappy place for someone who graduated from a school better than the Teacher's College?" "Then how did Excellence come about?" Yao Xiaoping was stopped by the question, but she didn't seem to be in the mood to discuss this issue, but told Shi Yan sincerely: "I also want to stay in school, otherwise, I can only go back to the county to teach. I don’t even want to go back to that shitty place—” Shi Yan knew that there was a regulation in Provincial Teachers College of C, that graduates could only enter the education entrance and could not enter other units, but she had always been preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination, so she never worried about the assignment.She persuaded Yao Xiaoping: "Why do you want to go back to that poor place to teach? Can't you teach elsewhere?"

"My eldest lady, you really came out of an ivory tower. You don't know anything about the world. I can go out to study because I signed a contract with our county. I will go back there after graduation, otherwise I won't Why would the bloody father-in-law let me go out to study? Isn't he afraid that I will go to other places after studying and dump his son?" Shi Yan urged: "You have to go back after signing a contract with him? Isn't he the principal of a county?" "When you enter the county, you will know how powerful the principal of the county is," Yao Xiaoping said. What kind of 'dongdongguai' are you going to teach?" Shi Yan grinned: "Go back to "Dongdongguai"? Don't be kidding me! How could I go back to that place? Isn't it just to get out of that place after studying hard? Go back there after reading? That's really crazy I don’t even want to stay in City D—” "Then where are you going?" "I'm going to graduate school—" "What about before the postgraduate entrance examination?" "Before what?" "You have to work for a few years to take the postgraduate entrance examination. You can't stay at home and let your parents support you these few years, right? Then where is your household registration?" Shi Yan seemed to hear a thunderbolt from the blue: "What? How many years do you have to work for the postgraduate entrance examination? Who stipulates it?" "It's definitely not my rule. After a long time, you still don't know? Our teacher's college has regulations. In order to ensure the quality of teachers in primary and secondary schools, fresh graduates of the teacher's college are not allowed to apply for postgraduate exams—" "What? There are such regulations? Isn't this a local policy?" "Policies are all local. No matter how foreign policies are down here, they will be transformed into local ones for you. Anyway, no matter whether it is local policies or foreign policies, this policy is enough." "Then what should I do? I've always wanted to take the postgraduate entrance examination as soon as I graduate," Shi Yan was so anxious that she began to cry. "In the past few years, if this hope hadn't supported me, I really don't know—how could I have survived?" --" Yao Xiaoping joked: "Isn't that good? This illusory dream has helped you survive these years, and you have to thank it—" "Don't be kidding, I'm serious, if fresh graduates really can't take the postgraduate entrance examination, what should I do?" "What to do, first find a job and work for a few years before talking." "How many years? Then—then—" Yao Xiaoping put down the sweater in her hand and said, "Let's go, it's getting late, let's go to Yan Jing's place to play cards, don't wait for him." "How can I care about playing cards now? I'm so anxious—" "What's the use of getting angry?" "Then playing cards is useful?" Yao Xiaoping said eloquently: "There is an old saying in our country, which is 'It is better to grind outside than to sit in the house'. Now you stay at home and think hard, but you can't think of any solution, so you still go out with me to 'grind' one." Grind it—" "I'm really not in the mood to play cards—" "You think I like to play this card? According to my virtue, if I have time to go there to play cards, it would be better to stay in the dormitory and play sweaters—" Shi Yan looked at Yao Xiaoping blankly: "Then you can knit your sweater in the dormitory, I'm going to the self-study room—" "You just know how to study hard. If you go to the self-study room, you can change the land policy of the teacher's college?" "Then—we can change the teacher's college's land policy by playing cards?" "Of course playing cards can't change the local policy of the teacher's college, but—hey, do you know? My strict father is the physical education teacher of our teacher's college, and the professor—" Shi Yan couldn't think of the relationship between the physical education professor of the normal college and her postgraduate entrance examination. Yao Xiaoping inspired: "As you said, rigorousness is a graduate of the normal college. How can he be a teacher in the normal college? Of course it is his father. It worked a little bit. Don’t think his father is just a teacher of physical education, but he used to be a famous gymnast in our province. He seems to have won rankings in the whole country or the world. It’s a pity that the anti-rightist It was a little unlucky at the time, and he was labeled as a rightist, and he was driven to work in our countryside. Later, when the policy was implemented, President Qiu of our teacher's college personally came out, and Sangu Maolu invited him out of the mountain to come to our teacher's college. teaching—” Shi Yan still couldn't see how her rigorous father could be related to her postgraduate study. Could it be that Yao Xiaoping wanted her to change to a postgraduate study in the Department of Physical Education?That seems a bit too difficult. She is good at ball games, but not in track and field.She asked stupidly: "The strict father——can he help me apply for a postgraduate entrance examination?"
