Since 1979 I have been in the tide of the times

Chapter 79
"Undergraduate students can't come, what can you ask your graduate students to help you with?" Wang Weidong said.

Professor Zhang didn't answer Wang Weidong's words for a long time. After coming over for a while, he replied with some shame: "I'm not qualified to supervise graduate students yet, and I'm applying for a postgraduate supervisor."

"A professor of your age can't guide graduate students?" Wang Weidong said in surprise.

"Do you think any cat or dog can guide graduate students? Masters and doctors are senior talents in our country, and we must find the best people to guide them! There were only six doctoral graduates in our country last year. Think about how many doctoral supervisors there are. ?” Professor Zhang replied.

If Wang Weidong told Professor Zhang that hundreds of thousands of graduate students would graduate every year in a few decades, Professor Zhang would fall off his bicycle in shock!
At the door of the house, Wang Weidong asked Professor Zhang to go in and have a rest. After changing his shoes, he immediately went to buy autumn vegetables with him.

Professor Zhang smiled and said that he was waiting for him outside. Wang Weidong ran home in a hurry to change his socks and put on a pair of liberation shoes, but Professor Zhang had already left by bike.

Wang Weidong didn't care about these, he rushed to the farmer's market in a hurry.

Outside the farmer's market, Professor Zhang was talking with a man wearing a felt hat while holding his bicycle. A carriage full of Chinese cabbage was parked beside the man.

More than a dozen carriages loaded with cabbage, radishes and potatoes were parked side by side outside the farmers market.

"Professor Zhang, why did you run away alone?" Wang Weidong walked over and complained.

"I'm sorry to trouble you." Professor Zhang said with a smile.

Wang Weidong took out a cabbage from the carriage and carefully observed whether the cabbage's heart was tight.Then he went to a carriage next to him and took out a cabbage for comparison.

One purpose of his doing this is to see whether the cabbage is good or bad, and the other purpose is to make the cabbage sellers compete with each other.

The person who discussed the price of cabbage with Professor Zhang just now had an ugly expression on his face. Professor Zhang smiled humbly and spoke politely. He knew it was easy to deal with.There is no reciprocation for such a person, you treat me well and I treat you well, but they must be slaughtered severely!

If you don't bully good people and honest people, who else will you bully?

But Wang Weidong, who appeared suddenly, was different, he was a thorn in the sidelines and difficult to deal with.

"Professor Zhang, how many do you plan to buy?" Wang Weidong asked.

"Seventy or eighty pieces of sauerkraut are needed, and a total of two hundred pieces are needed." Professor Zhang replied.

The man who sold the cabbage on the second carriage hurriedly said: "I still have [-] to [-] cabbages left in this cart. If you make it round, I will give you a penny!"

More than an hour later, a carriage left the farmer's market. The carriage contained more than 200 Chinese cabbage, a sack of potatoes, more than 100 catties of carrots and green radishes, [-] catties of green onions and two bundles of vermicelli.

Both Wang Weidong and the owner of the car were sitting in the carriage, and Professor Zhang followed slowly on his bicycle.

"Weidong, if it wasn't for you, I would have let them lie to me." Professor Zhang said.

Just now, Professor Zhang took a fancy to a sack of potatoes, and all the potatoes exposed on it were as big as a fist.Originally, he wanted to weigh the scale and carry it to the carriage, but Wang Weidong wanted to pour out all the potatoes in the sack to have a look.

Before the potato seller nodded in agreement, Wang Weidong had already pushed down the sack containing the potatoes. Except for the large potatoes on top, the rest were very small, some as big as the belly of a thumb, and there were quite a few clods of soil hidden in them. in the sack.

"It's the same as making paper shoes, these bastards have a bad conscience!" Wang Weidong said.

The carriage entered the university residential area and stopped downstairs at Professor Zhang's house.

Wang Weidong was busy unloading vegetables and carrying them upstairs bit by bit.The space in the room is limited, and some of the dishes are stored in the corridor.

After all these tasks were done, Wang Weidong's limbs became limp from exhaustion.

Professor Zhang wanted to stay with Wang Weidong for dinner, but Wang Weidong declined.

When parting, Professor Zhang said: "Weidong, our school will have a campus radio, and it will broadcast English learning programs every day. This is an opportunity for your radio factory."

On Sunday afternoon, Wang Weidong and Chen Jihong were sitting together in the office watching TV.At noon, Chen Jihong went to the factory to deliver food to Wang Weidong who was on duty, and then stayed behind.

Just when Wang Weidong started to touch Chen Jihong, and Chen Jihong shyly resisted, Wang Weidong heard a knock on the door.

"Who is this? He has no eyesight at all!" Wang Weidong said angrily.

He walked outside quickly, and saw Ou Xiaoyang standing outside smiling at him through the big iron gate, and the jeep was parked by the side of the road.

Seeing Chen Jihong coming out following Wang Weidong, Ou Xiaoyang said apologetically to Wang Weidong: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

"Doesn't the revolution need people who come after you? You always disturb me to influence the motherland and the flowers will be born sooner!" Wang Weidong said.

As he spoke, he opened the big iron gate.

Only then did he see that Ou Xiaoyang was still carrying something in his hand.

"Come here as soon as you come, and bring something. How embarrassing." Wang Weidong said.

After locking the door again, the three returned to the office.

Ou Xiaoyang took out all the things in his pocket and put them on the desk.

Four bottles of beer and a bottle of liquor, and two lunch boxes.

Ou Xiaoyang put the two lunch boxes on the radiator.

"It's filled with vegetables. The three of us will sit down and chat later." Ou Xiaoyang said.What he said was a bit hypocritical.

"Just the two of us." Wang Weidong said.He winked at Chen Jihong, and then he took Chen Jihong out and opened the big iron gate to let Chen Jihong go home first.

Seeing Wang Weidong walk into the office, Ou Xiaoyang said apologetically, "I'm sorry, it has affected your couple's intimacy."

"If you get married soon, you will be able to make out in a fair manner." Wang Weidong said.

He deliberately emphasized the words "upright and bright".

If you don't get married, you can't be aboveboard, you can only be sneaky.Wang Weidong concluded that Ou Xiaoyang and Ruiyun must have been sneaking around.

Neither of these guys are fuel efficient!

"Weidong, why did you find someone like Xiao Chen?" Ou Xiaoyang asked.

"Kind and simple, she will follow me even if I am poor and beggars in the future." Wang Weidong replied.

He also wanted to ask Ou Xiaoyang if your Ruiyun was such a person, but he didn't ask.

Ou Xiaoyang obviously thought of this question too, he lowered his head and looked at the concrete floor without speaking for a while.The reason why Ruiyun is so eager to be with him obviously has a lot to do with his family background.

"I'm going to get married in two months. The parents of both sides have already met and agreed to get married on New Year's Day." Ou Xiaoyang said.

For some reason, he didn't feel excited at the thought of getting married, but instead felt bewildered about the future.

"Okay, I'll give you a big mirror with the names of everyone in our factory written on it!" Wang Weidong said.
