The leisurely life of rebirth

For the next period of time, Zhou You didn't go out.

The main thing is that if you’ve been away for a long time, you need to be at ease for a while.

Since I started supervising graduate students, I have somewhat let myself go and have participated less in school affairs.

He even stopped participating in his favorite lectures.

This is the first class for freshmen, and Zhou You must attend it.

Bring Guan Jinfei to the classroom.

There is always someone 18 years old.

Every time Zhou You sees these youthful faces, he unconsciously becomes much younger.

There are already people born in the 00s here, and those who started school early are already college students.

"Welcoming new classmates and seeing off old classmates, at this time every year, I feel old." Zhou You couldn't help but sigh on the stage.

"Some of you have heard of me, some haven't. Let me introduce myself."

Zhou You gave some opening speeches in class as usual.

I just feel a little bored, and I don’t know what my mentality will be like in a few years.

Guan Jinfei sat silently in the audience, watching Zhou You speaking on the stage, and couldn't help but recall his time as a freshman.

One had just become a college student, and the other had just become a school teacher not long ago.

They are all curious about their new identities.

At that time, I felt that Zhou You on the stage was so young, full of vigor and energy, and radiant.

Later, I realized that it was my luck.

Now, watching the teachers gradually mature on the stage, they are more comfortable and more stable in most cases.

However, I could no longer establish a close relationship with the students in the audience.

Times are changing and people are changing too.

Wait for Zhou You to finish speaking.

Someone on the stage couldn't help but say, "Teacher, aren't you going to call the roll?"

When Zhou You heard this, he couldn't help but be shaken. The roll-call software he had spent money to make back then was rarely used.

"Are you the squad leader?" Zhou You asked.

The young man who stood up was suddenly embarrassed and couldn't help scratching his head: "Well, not yet."

"Haha, what's his name?" Zhou You became interested. Every child has his or her own characteristics.

The lectures are originally a bit boring, so any additions we can make are welcome.

"My name is Ying Shuwen. I applied for library studies and will prepare to take the provincial or municipal library exam in the future. I read books when I have nothing to do." Ying Shuwen was not at all stage-shy and talked freely in front of the teacher.

Zhou You smiled. The number of people who took the initiative to apply for the exam in recent years has increased a lot compared to before.

The employment situation has also improved a lot.

The niche track is also starting to become less niche.

It's already starting to roll up.

"Good, a good name. The library is a poor place and you can't make much money." Zhou You said with a smile.

Ying Wenshu grinned and said, "It's okay. I don't have high aspirations. Besides, I just want to avoid ruining the family."

Well, nice middle class.

This little guy has a clear positioning of himself, which is indeed in line with reality.

The opportunity to make big money will be gone in the short term, and the only thing you need to do is to keep the money.

When the other students heard this, they couldn't help laughing.

As he is the most famous teacher in his major, everyone had high expectations of him.

However, Zhou You's performance at the beginning still disappointed everyone.

Most of these children come from good families and their way of looking at things is completely different from before.

Like Zhou You and his friends, when they were young, they didn’t have the opportunity to travel, and there was no Internet, so they couldn’t see much.

These children are more curious about traveling.

Little did I know that the words I said at the beginning didn't have much meaning.

That is to say, the conversation just now felt good.

The post-00s are a group of different people. Why are they different? Because the environment they grew up in is different, and the means of education also need to be different.

Zhou You saw that everyone's spirits were high and he also became interested.

He said to the audience, "How many of you here often travel?"

哗

A small number of people below raised their hands.

"So, how many people travel abroad?" Zhou You continued to ask.
Now some people raised their hands.

Now that the college entrance examination is over, many people will take their children to travel abroad to let them relax, broaden their horizons, and it can also be considered a kind of reward.

"Yes, it seems that you all are doing well. How many of you have traveled to Europe and the United States?" Zhou You saw that Ying Wenshu's hand was raised all the time, and he was indeed from a good family.

Most people travel to Southeast Asian countries, tropical regions with beautiful environments and cheap prices.

Not many people go to Europe and the United States because the cost is very high.

For the average middle class, it is a burden.

After this question was asked, only Ying Wenshu's hand was still raised.

Zhou You nodded and said, "How do you feel about going to Europe?"

Ying Wenshu curled his lips and said, "It's just so-so. It feels not as developed as in China."

"Tell me in detail." Zhou You guided.

Children all have a desire to show off, and Ying Wenshu is confident, so he said openly:

"Those attractions are not pretty at all, and the supporting facilities are relatively backward. For example, the Venice on the Water, teacher, is really smelly, not much different from a stinky ditch."

"Also, their subways are mostly dilapidated, and some don't even have elevators. It's exhausting to climb the stairs."

"And the Eiffel Tower, there's nothing to see, the security isn't good, and there are thieves."

In the past, people worshipped foreign things, mostly in terms of material things, such as food, clothing, housing and transportation, where the gap was too huge.

As the country prospers and its economic level improves, except for the older generation, most people still have some fear of foreigners deep down.

Many young people today, those born after 00, look down on the current situation abroad.

The most important thing is that I have the opportunity to go abroad.

Reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles will naturally give you different insights.

Zhou You motioned for him to sit down, and said to the students present: "In the past, there was an old saying that seeing is believing. Although this saying may not be completely true, and sometimes seeing is not necessarily believing, it can at least be used as a reference."

"In the 1980s and 1990s, everyone was poor and thought that foreign countries were better. However, this is also true. At that time, foreign countries were more developed."

"But it's different now. When we were kids, we all learned about Venice on the water and the Eiffel Tower. The descriptions in the books were all very beautiful."

"Of course, it may have been beautiful at the time and very poetic to read, but nothing is immutable, everything is changing, environmental pollution and improper governance will all appear."

Seeing that everyone was listening attentively, Zhou You also became interested.

"So, when you do something in the future, it's best not to just follow what others say. Do more research. If you can go in person, that's the best. If you can't go in person, then take in multiple opinions."

This is a profound lesson, and the future Internet will teach us how to behave. The imperfect information plays everyone into its hands, and after a few consecutive times, people start to learn their lesson and stop being so active.

However, this also consumes the passion and enthusiasm of many people.

Manipulating public opinion can cause great harm to others!
Time passes quietly.

It is winter in Moscow.

Ina's belly gradually grew bigger.

Raise the first litter according to the book and the second litter like pigs.

For Yin Na, there is not much difference, as almost everything around her has been arranged.

In winter, Moscow is covered in snow, and the city seems to be immersed in an ice and snow kingdom.

Magnificent palaces and manors stood in the cold wind, their eaves covered with crystal clear icicles and delicate frost flowers on the window frames.

The life of the rich is like spending the cold winter in a greenhouse. Their banquet halls are magnificent with flickering firelight and crackling sounds of fine firewood burning in the fireplace.

In a corner of the city, a private ice skating rink was built in the snow, which only a few people can enter. Some time ago, they invited Ina to play there, but Ina refused on the grounds that it was inconvenient because of her pregnancy.

I am not a person of the same class.
Besides, having too much contact with these people might not be good for her.

It’s better to just live your life quietly.

Only after you have been there once do you realize how extravagant they are. They wear fur coats and wear fine ice skates, dancing on the ice, as if it were the Swan Lake in winter. They enjoy the finest martinis and champagne, and whisper about profound topics about art and travel.

It sounds a bit funny, but these people have only become wealthy very recently.

In the previous country, I was almost like an ordinary person, but unexpectedly, now I have suddenly transformed myself into the so-called upper class.

On the other side of the city, poor residents are worried about their livelihood.

They walked with difficulty on the icy streets in tattered coats and heavy felt boots. In some old unheated apartments, children sat around a dim light and shared meager food.

Winter in Moscow is not just about the harsh cold of nature, but also about the gap between social classes.

Ina used to be so busy with her own life that she had no time or energy to worry about these things.

"Mom, mom, touch my belly." Zhou Lexue was watching her mother in a daze, and she walked up to her and laughed and played with her, shaking her body.

Yin Na sat down. The sofa was soft and the cushion behind her greatly relieved the pressure on her waist.

"Xiaoxue, be good and touch me gently. My little brother is inside and will come out to play with you soon."

Zhou Lexue is almost 2 years old and already has vague impressions of many things.

"Well, brother, come out and play with me, and daddy, come and play with me too." Xiaoxue muttered. Girls mature earlier and start talking earlier.

Yin Na touched little Lexue's head and stroked it back and forth: "Dad is busy, he will be here in a few days."

During this period, I traveled here quite frequently and didn't achieve much in other places. I just went back and forth between Moscow and Luzhou.

The relationship between Xiao Lexue and her father also heated up rapidly.

Zhou You actually felt a little regretful during this period of time.

I always feel guilty towards my children because I have too many of them and I can’t take care of them all.

But this is also a normal emotion for modern people.

Many people have been taught since childhood to be monogamous, to take family seriously, to take care of children, and to give them a complete childhood.

Let your children have a happy childhood to heal their long and painful life in the future.

In fact, what can truly heal one's future life is the long-term efforts of generations of families. It is not enough to rely solely on the happiness of childhood.

In the blink of an eye, the New Year is coming.

This year, Zhou You plans to invite Shi Wenxiu and her family to celebrate the New Year here.
Not for anything else, but to form a routine in the future, and to avoid any sudden interruptions when I come here.

As for the reason, just find one at random.

However, it is really hard to grasp the right time point, as everyone has to visit relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year.

But fortunately, it should be almost done before the New Year.

Just do it.

Go find your teacher first.

The office is still the same office, just with a different sign.

"Teacher, are you busy?"

Professor Wang looked up and saw that it was Zhou You. He was very happy at first, but when he heard his greeting, he couldn't help but get angry:

"Busy, how can I not be busy? This is all the work assigned by Professor Zhou."

The department head is not very old. He can work peacefully for about ten years and then retire.

Who would have thought that this would happen? The key is that he wanted to do it himself.

Only after I really did it did I realize how complicated it was.

Not to mention other things, just applying for a doctoral degree involves a lot of things.

According to the reverse time plan, accurate to the weekly progress, the pressure is quite great.

Almost all the teachers have devoted themselves to this project.

Not to mention the young ones, who are the most motivated.

Once the doctoral program is approved, they will benefit from it in the long term.

The funds for traveling are also very sufficient, and a bonus will be issued for completing a progress.

It’s just like playing a game, with timely feedback and rewards.

"Ah, then why don't we just quit?" Zhou You smiled, not caring at all about the teacher's angry look.

"Hmph, forget it. The whole school knows about it now. If you don't do it, where will your teacher put your face in the future?" Professor Wang snorted coldly. This disciple was getting more and more daring to make fun of him.

When Zhou You saw the teacher like this, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

No wonder he never lets people call him by his name.

Wang Fengjiao, a name that seems very feminine nowadays.

At that time, it was also the parents’ knowledge that gave them the names, Feng was male and Huang was female.

Fengjiao is the best among men.

However, I didn’t expect that fashion has changed so quickly in recent years, and this name has completely become a laughing stock.

Later, thanks to Professor Wang's efforts, no one was allowed to call him by his name, and slowly, everyone got used to it.

At most, everyone just laughed secretly in their hearts.

"Tell me, why are you here with me?"

Zhou You slowed down, shook the image of Uncle Jiu from his mind, and started talking about some serious matters.

"Teacher, I plan to invite Professor Shi and his family over for a few days. It's almost the New Year anyway."

"First, it's been so long since we graduated, so I have to thank you. Also, it's a good opportunity to ask Professor Shi to take care of our doctoral application."

This is the reason I came up with during my travels. It is very legitimate and reasonable, and it has the greatest chance of success.

I just don’t know if the teacher can bring himself to do this.

After hearing this, Professor Wang frowned and thought for a few seconds, then nodded: "We have also gone to the ministry to study, and we have also gone to other schools to study. It would be nice to invite him to come and see it now. But the Chinese New Year is coming soon, so don't delay his New Year celebration."

"Let me ask first. If it works, it's fine. If not, forget it." Zhou You was not absolutely sure.

Besides, he won’t come this year because he said he had something else to do.

At worst, I can invite you again next year. If I refuse once, I can refuse twice. Even if I refuse twice, I won’t do it a third time. (End of this chapter)
