After entering the house and putting down his things, Yu Dong looked around the room.
Hu Yueming lives in a two-bedroom apartment, and the living room is not big, but it has a spacious balcony with plenty of lighting.
There is no study room in his house, but it can be said that there are study rooms everywhere. Basically, in this house, you can see books and newspapers wherever you look.
There is even a copy of Rousseau's "Confessions" under the bad foot of the coffee table.
This "Confessions" is still in French and must be a few years old. Hu Yueming bought this book because of its reputation. After reading it, he was very unhappy and was reluctant to throw it away because he felt sorry for the money spent.
Later, one of the legs of the coffee table was a little broken, so he found the "Confessions" and put it down. It turned out to be just the right amount, which made him exclaim: It turns out that its destination has been decided for a long time.
However, people who like Rousseau may not be able to accept this situation.
"Your wife will be back in a while. You sit down first and I'll cook."
"I'll help you." Yu Dong said immediately.
Hu Yueming sneered: "Do you have such ability?"
This question that hit his soul made Yu Dong sit down angrily. He really didn't have the ability.
Hu Yueming was busy working in the kitchen, and Yu Dong was not polite. He ran to pour himself a cup of tea and copied a copy of "Secret Stories of the Tang Dynasty" to read.
This book looks very new. It must have been bought not long ago. It has been placed on the coffee table. Hu Yueming is probably reading it recently.
This is a collection of novels written by Wang Xiaobo.
The name Wang Xiaobo has become known to people, probably since the People's Daily reported the news that "Golden Age" won the "United Daily News" Literary Award for Novella in October last year.
However, this report last year was published in the overseas edition of "People's Daily", so the news was not widely spread in the country.
It was not until "The Golden Age" struggled to be published in China that Wang Xiaobo gained some popularity.
It's just that this popularity is nothing compared to what happened after his death.
Wang Xiaobo's subsequent popularity may also be related to his death, but it is definitely not just because of his death that his works can cause such a huge response.
Yu Dong was actually quite surprised when he saw "Secret Stories of the Tang Dynasty". After all, it is not easy to see a work by Wang Xiaobo anywhere at this time, but he did not expect that the teacher would have a copy here.
He held the book and read for a while. Hu Yueming's lover Xu Qinghua opened the door and came back.
As soon as he entered the door, Xu Qinghua shouted at the top of his lungs: "Lao Hu, what day is it today? I started cooking, tsk tsk, and even fried the meat."
Before Hu Yueming in the kitchen could respond, Xu Qinghua saw Yu Dong in the living room and said with a look of surprise: "You Yu, why are you here?"
Xu Qinghua is six or seven years younger than Hu Yueming, and is not yet fifty this year. She is very energetic and does not look old. Moreover, she is very enthusiastic. Hu Yueming often brings his favorite students home, and she always prepares a table of dishes for them.
He also often inquires after the well-being.
She and Hu Yueming have a son, who is now in his early thirties. After graduating from Renmin University, he was assigned to Gan Province. Later, he married a wife and had children there and settled down. He only came back once or twice a year.
Probably because of this, she was very kind to Hu Yueming's students, as if she were her own children.
Yu Dong was Hu Yueming's favorite student, and he was clean-looking, so she treated Dong Ye the best and asked him to come home for dinner more often than anyone else.
"I came to Yanjing to participate in an event. I just have some time today, so I came over to see you and the teacher." Yu Dong stood up and said.
"You should have informed us earlier, then I won't go out to play cards this afternoon." She then ran to the kitchen quickly, "Lao Hu, what other dishes are there at home? Do you want me to go out and buy some cooked food?
."
Yu Dong also ran over and said, "Master's wife, it's not too much trouble. It's not my first time here."
Hu Yueming held the spoon and glanced at his wife, "Do I have to prepare a full banquet for this kid when he comes? Don't worry, the food is enough."
Xu Qinghua glanced at the pot, then rolled up his sleeves and snatched the spoon from Hu Yueming's hand: "I'll do it, you and Yu Yu go to the living room to chat."
Hu Yueming was not polite, took off the apron and tied it on his wife, then washed his hands and took Yu Dong back to the living room.
After the two sat down, Hu Yueming began to ask about Yu Dong's current situation.
During this period, they exchanged several letters, but there was very little to say in the letters, so it would be better to have a clear chat in person. Yu Dong had mentioned in his letters before that he was writing science fiction novels, and this time Hu Yueming specifically mentioned it again.
I took it out and asked.
After Yu Dong explained the general situation, Hu Yueming said with a smile: "You have made a lot of money, so I don't have any burden after drinking today. I usually pay little attention to science fiction novels, and it is difficult for me to have the mind to read them now.
Pay attention, since you have done this, do it well. Making money is a good thing, but I still remind you not to be blinded by money. In the past two years, many writers have started writing commercial novels. I don’t think it is a bad thing.
But commercial novels should also have their own bottom line and principles."
"I remember." Yu Dong nodded and said.
Hu Yueming looked at Yu Dong for a while, then suddenly laughed twice, "I have the same old habit. Since you have graduated, I shouldn't preach to you."
"Once a teacher, always a teacher. I will always listen to your teachings."
Hu Yueming waved his hand, "This is pedantic. Am I the best teacher in the world? Am I a saint? Are my words all golden rules? No, since they are neither, you have to be selective about my words.
Listen, forget it...I'm starting to preach again."
After saying that, they laughed again and started talking about other things.
…
Later, while eating, Yu Dong talked to Hu Yueming about his upcoming open class at Jinyi.
Both Hu Yueming and Hu Yueming were very interested in this, and they tried their best to give advice and experience to Yu Dong.
After listening to the experience taught by Hu Yueming and others, Yu Dong became more confident.
The teacher has taught in school for so many years, and the experience he has is his greatest asset. What Yu Dongneng learned in four years of college may not be even one-tenth.
This time I came here to learn from Hu Yueming’s teachings. This was also an important purpose.
…
The next morning, Yu Dong and Su Tong caught the train back to Jinling. It was already midnight when they arrived. They found a hotel to sleep and waited until the morning before going back.
After Yu Dong returned to school, he received an important piece of news, that is, his opening of open classes had been announced in the school.
He also went to the bulletin board to read the notice. The notice said that registration for open classes is voluntary and you can just report to the designated classroom on Friday night.
Wu Changxin also called Yu Dong to the office and explained the matter to him in detail. Friday night was both the registration time for students and the first class. Starting from this Friday, there will be two classes every Friday night for five weeks.
Chapter completed!
