Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 1740 Two Evidences

"There are still projects, and there are many of them." The old man who just said that Lao Zhao was not thoughtful said: "For example, the status of women in social life in the Song Dynasty was very different from that in later generations. There are not many scholars studying this direction. I think we can open a project."

Although the Song Dynasty was not as unrestrained as the Tang Dynasty, the status of women in society was very high. However, how high it was and what the system was like were not clear to ordinary people, even many history majors.

"In fact, it's not just the Song Dynasty. The Liao Dynasty, Western Xia, and even Annan and the Southwestern Yi of the same period all had women in power. This 'common phenomenon' can also explain part of the social atmosphere at the time and is indeed worthy of study." Zhou Zhi nodded in agreement.

The old man immediately turned around and smiled at Gu Lao, "Elbow's basic knowledge of literature and history is quite solid and comprehensive. Old Gu, you must cultivate him well. Don't waste such a good foundation."

"Let's talk about the vote first." Mr. Gu said, "Does this defense pass?"

"Passed." "Definitely passed." "We just talked about a project, and we still need his help. How dare he not pass it? Hahahaha..."

"Okay then," said Gu Lao. "Elbow, go back and write me a 3,000-5,000-word paper on what you just explained to us. And by the way, include the two projects mentioned by Du Lao and Yu Lao in your prospectus. Then your graduation thesis will be approved."

"Ah?" Zhou Zhi was stunned. He had always felt that this "exchange meeting" was a bit confusing. After all this fuss, it turned out to be a graduation thesis defense. "Master, this is a bit unkind of you. How can you defend your thesis before writing your thesis? You are launching a surprise attack..."

Gu Lao waved his hand to indicate that we don't need to pay attention to these details: "This is the only way to let everyone see your true level. Besides, your paper on the origin of Yi language, firstly, deviates from the research scope of the Chinese Department, and secondly, it is too deep to be an undergraduate paper. Have you ever seen an undergraduate paper published in Literature and History? Our school can't let others point fingers at us and avoid criticism that we are not on the right track."

"Yes." Mr. Du was still giving Zhou Zhi some advice: "Your digital library system, the technical architecture, etc., just need an architecture diagram. Let's mainly talk about the application. Just like what you just said, the application process from Su Shi's signature to "Su Dongpo's Biography", "Su Dongpo's Anecdotes", and "Su Dongpo's Poetry Chronological Study", please write in more detail."

"Then congratulations, Elbow, for becoming our Chinese department's recommended graduate student." Several elderly people looked at him happily. Elder Du took out a graduation certificate and an admission letter: "The letter has been prepared a long time ago, but your situation is a bit special, so I can't give it to you before you get the graduation certificate. Now that you have successfully graduated from undergraduate studies, I will reissue the graduate admission letter. It's a double happiness."

"Thank you, thank you." Zhou Zhi took the graduation certificate and admission letter and thanked repeatedly.

The school did make special arrangements for him in this matter. According to normal procedures, the graduate student admission notice should have been sent out in June.

At that time, Zhou Zhi was still working in Lianhe Township.

Although it is just a formality now, the school is able to change the process for one person and go through the formality seriously, which shows its special care for him.

After getting these two books, Zhou Zhi suddenly felt more confident about going home. After the final exam, he treated all his classmates to a cold drink and then made an appointment with Feng Xueshan and Yang He to go back home together.

However, there were some subtle changes in the seating arrangement this time. Zhou Zhi drove first, and the passenger seat where Feng Xueshan used to sit was empty this time, so she and Yang He sat in the back.

They used the group’s tyranny.

When the car arrived in Neizhou, everyone got off the car and had a meal of Shaoxuewang. Then Yang He took over the driving, and Feng Xueshan quietly sat in the passenger seat again, leaving Zhou Zhi alone in the back seat.

Although none of the three mentioned it, Zhou Zhi knew that Feng Xueshan had accepted Yang He and they had officially become a couple.

Zhou Zhi couldn't help but secretly praise Feng Xueshan for her ability to handle things, and Yang He was really lucky.

In their relationship, Feng Xueshan obviously occupied the higher emotional position, while Yang He, to use the unpleasant word from later generations, was almost like a "suck-up".

However, once Feng Xueshan made a decision, she knew to protect Yang He everywhere, never letting him feel uncomfortable at all, making him feel cared for at all times. Zhou Zhi could only sigh that he was not as good as her. "When will this road be repaired?" Feng Xueshan looked at the dilapidated road outside with a worried look on her face.

"I heard it's still more than two years." Zhou Zhi said, "How about we take the train to Yuzhou next time, and then get a car back to Jiachuan from where we get there?"

"You're not that squeamish. If you feel disgusted with this car, how can others who drive this route survive?" Feng Xueshan said, praising Yang He: "The monk drives well."

"I'm used to driving a construction truck. The plate of this car is almost as high as that of a construction truck." Yang He said while steering the wheel. After not seeing him for two days, this kid really looked radiant. Zhou Zhi felt that if he poked his face with an electric pen, the neon tube would light up. "This kind of road is suitable for big cars. Small cars will suffer."

"You want to buy a car? Don't listen to the nonsense of Salt Rat." Feng Xueshan disagreed: "If the road conditions are bad, you can borrow a car from your company, or drive a construction vehicle back. That idiot Hu Tianyu bought a car for nearly 200,000 yuan. With so much money, why not do something else?"

"Oh," Yang He nodded immediately: "Okay."

If it were back to her old habits, Feng Xueshan would reach out and pat Yang He on the head and say, "Monk is so obedient."

Now it has probably become a private action between the two of them, and Zhou Zhi didn't see it.

This also shows that the relationship between the two is indeed different.

While observing from the back seat, Zhou Zhi said, "There's no need to borrow a construction vehicle. This Prado from our company is specially used for driving on bad roads. You can drive this and have face when you go back."

"If I didn't have to go to the autonomous prefecture next, you could drive my car anytime."

"Thank you, Elbow." Yang He quickly glanced at the rearview mirror and nodded at Zhou Zhi.

Of course Zhou Zhi knew that his brother was not thanking him for agreeing to lend him the car, but thanking him for not objecting to his relationship with Feng Xueshan. He must have helped him once. Thinking of this, Zhou Zhi reached out and patted Yang He on the shoulder, indicating that there was no need to say anything more.

"Elbow, are you going back to Jiachuan?" Feng Xueshan thought of another question.

Of course Zhou Zhi knew what Feng Xueshan meant. If Zhou Zhi returned to Jiachuan, he would definitely go to see his aunt and sister Xiao Juaner. They now lived downstairs from Jiang Shuyi's parents, so it was inevitable that they would meet, which might be a little awkward.

Zhou Zhi had considered these issues a long time ago. Since they could not be avoided, there was no need to avoid them. For example, when helping Guan Tingting create songs next time, he would inevitably have to meet Tang Qi and Jiang Wu. In addition to their feelings, there was also a layer of interest involved. Everyone was an adult, and the best way was for them to discuss their own affairs.

In fact, Zhou Zhi felt that compared to himself being embarrassed to see them, they also had the same mentality, and they were probably even more embarrassed to see him.

If I continue to avoid them deliberately, Du Yufen and Jiang Qiao, Tang Qi and Jiang Wu might feel even more sorry for me.

There is absolutely no need for this.

Therefore, Zhou Zhi made up his mind and said, "I definitely have to meet them. Aunt Du and Uncle Jiang have always been nice to me."

"Besides, even if I go back to Jiachuan, I'll be very busy." Zhou Zhi said, "I don't know for sure whether I can meet him."
