Reborn 1960之巧女当家

Chapter 250 Meeting the Principal Again
The time for the New Year's Day reception of B University is coming soon.

This year's New Year's Day, Xia Nuan's brothers agreed to go out for dinner together.

It's been a long time since everyone got together, and this year is a good time.

Of course Xia Nuan and Chu Tianling agreed, but Xia Nuan needed to be an interpreter the day before New Year's Day, so everyone set the time for the night of New Year's Day.

It was five o'clock in the evening when we arrived at University B.

It was dark early in winter, and when Xia Nuan and his group arrived at the school gate, there were no pedestrians on the road.

In the cold weather, everyone wants to go home quickly, have a warm meal, rest, and unload the tiredness of the day.

In winter, everyone is not as "vigorous" as in summer.

Together with Xia Nuan, there are four translators from the International Department, all of whom are majors in Russian, and only Xia Nuan has a second degree in Russian.

But this doesn't affect anything. With Xia Nuan's "universal screw", it can be used wherever it is needed in the organization.

Xia Nuan is most familiar with the way to the banquet hall of University B.

So Xia Nuan led the way, and everyone walked into the banquet hall together, and first met with the leaders of University B.

When I arrived at the banquet hall, I found that everyone had come early, and many people hadn't come yet.

For the time of the reception, please see that it will start on time at [-]:[-] pm, they came a little sooner.

The main reason is that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and University B are not far away, and this time it is not a very serious diplomatic occasion.

Let's drink and drink together to celebrate the arrival of the new year.There's no need to keep putting on airs and arrive by pinching the clock.

Everyone quickly found the school leader of University B, and the principal was an old leader Xia Nuan was familiar with.

It's just that Xia Nuan is not the person in charge right now, so she can't get along with Principal Ding to talk about the friendship between teachers and students.

Before Xia Nuan found an opportunity, she was arranged to accompany Asanova, a foreign teacher from the Russian Department of University B, to attend the reception, and also acted as the foreign affairs secretary for the diplomatic translation.

Xia Nuan was already very familiar with translation work.

Coincidentally, the foreign teacher who accompanied the translation this time was also a professor who had taught Xia Nuan before.

Xia Nuan was quite satisfied with this activity, which was completely equivalent to "going back to his alma mater at public expense".

At eight o'clock in the evening, the reception started on time.

As usual, the leader gave a speech.

This time, the director of the Department of Foreign Languages ​​of University B gave a speech, which made the relationship between everyone more intimate and humble.

Then the spokesperson for the foreign guests spoke, and the department leader of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs where Xia Nuan worked spoke.

As soon as the speech was finished, everyone started to walk around the venue in a random manner, everyone was holding champagne, whether they had some snacks or not.

But fine wine and snacks have nothing to do with Xia Nuan.

First, she greeted the Russian professor who had taught her for a long time, and then began to accompany the professor in the translation work.

Going round and round in the arena, Xia Nuan, young and old, met one after another.

If the other party is from Huaguo, Xia Nuan will translate and communicate by the side. If there is no problem in language communication, Xia Nuan will pretend to be a transparent person and listen silently by the side.

Finally at 09:30 in the evening, Xia Nuan was really hungry.

She found that she can do translation work, be a diplomat, and other things without fear, but starvation is the only thing that must be suffered every time she works.

Seeing that the food on the buffet table was almost finished, Xia Nuan seized the opportunity, left the foreign teacher behind, and hurried to grab some food.

But before Xia Nuan could eat a few times, he saw Principal Ding approaching from a distance.

Xia Nuan thought that she needed to translate again, so she hurriedly put down the things in her hand, not daring to eat them!
Unexpectedly, Principal Ding came over and looked at her with a smile.

"Are you hungry? Eat! Eat!"

According to Xia Nuan's memories many years later, Principal Ding's fatherly and kind expression always appeared in front of her eyes, lingering.

I did not expect such a small episode to appear in the translation process.

With the principal by his side, Xia Nuan didn't dare to eat too "presumptuously".

Principal Ding seemed to understand Xia Nuan's delicacy, and took the initiative to pick up other snacks from the table, and began to eat them himself.

Xia Nuan was very moved, so she took the opportunity to quickly eat two more bites.

"I remember you." Principal Ding said kindly and leisurely.

"You are from the Department of Foreign Languages, student Xia Nuan. Now you are working for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. You are a good seed!"

Xia Nuan didn't expect the principal to know her. After all, the principal is a professor in the Department of Physics.
The campus of University B is so big, and there are so many students, how could one expect the principal to remember him.

"Back then, as a college student who was exceptionally admitted to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, you participated in the national translation work and were sent to Africa to do work."

"The old guys in our school, look at you young people, well, you are energetic and capable, we are happy for you."

Xia Nuan was already so surprised that she didn't know what to say, she looked at it from a distance, and forgot to eat while holding something in her hand, like a fool.

Xia Nuan has taken many etiquette courses, and she can make the most reasonable response to any foreign guests at any time.

But only for those whom you admire and are close to.

At this time, Xia Nuan couldn't remember the etiquette and the art of speaking.

I just feel very moved, and my throat is hot.

"Principal Ding, I didn't expect you to remember me." Xia Nuan said dryly after holding back for a long time.

Seeing that the principal seemed a little amused, Xia Nuan hurriedly continued.

"You don't know, I admire you very much. In these years of school, I regard you as a role model in my heart. You seek the development of our B University students and are our most beloved principal!"

While talking, I was a little moved, and the words began to develop in a lyrical direction.

Now Principal Ding laughed outright.

Xia Nuan, who lost her father, felt that Principal Ding's smile was so warm at this moment, as warm as the morning light in winter.

Xia Nuan looked at such a smile greedily, and didn't even feel embarrassed anymore.

Principal Ding has seen many lovely students, but he is the first one who is as straightforward as Xia Nuan.

In other words, he knew that the students might also love him, but everyone didn't express it so clearly as Xia Nuan.

"You can remember me as an old guy, and you can often go back to your alma mater to visit, which is the best gift for us."

Principal Ding is as gentle as jade, modest and gentleman, he is a professor and expert of the older generation who has the literati style of the last century.

Xia Nuan smiled with embarrassment, and now she realizes whether she has spoken too recklessly.

I wanted to scratch my head in embarrassment, but when I found that I was still holding a snack in my hand, I could only smile awkwardly.

Principal Ding told her to eat more.

"Those foreigners, you can chat without your translators, don't be nervous!"

Principal Ding joked with Xia Nuan.

Xia Nuan nodded hurriedly, wishing she could serve another plate of dim sum.

Someone not far away talked to Principal Ding, and Xia Nuan respectfully sent Principal Ding away.

Looking at the back of the principal going away, he felt very happy, so he seized the time and quickly ate a few more snacks.

After eating, Xia Nuan didn't have time to drink something, so she hurried back to work.

Many of the professors and teachers who came to this reception are elderly.

In addition, many professors in the mountains were too greedy to drink, and they drank a lot of champagne. Gradually, when it was ninety o'clock, many people became a little listless.

Looking at many sleepy teachers, Xia Nuan and the sober translators all felt a little funny.

I didn't expect these professors and teachers to have such a cute side.

The reception ended on time at ten thirty in the evening.

Everyone was bustling, standing together for a big group photo, and then ended in a noisy manner.

When walking out of the banquet hall, Xia Nuan let out a breath of foul air.

"it is finally over."

Xia Nuan's colleagues were a little tired, and they had nothing else to do, so they bid farewell and went home.

Riding on the way home, Xia Nuan's exhaustion was a little sobered by the cold wind.

She thought, Chu Tianling and Baozi should have finished their meal, so it's better to make some supper by herself when they go back.

The moon hangs in the night sky, bright and cold.

There are very few pedestrians on the road. Sometimes Xia Nuan is tired from riding a bicycle, and the hot air he exhales turns into breath in the air, and he goes out and in.

After a while, Xia Nuan arrived home.

When I got home, Baozi was already asleep.

Originally, Baozi complained that he had to wait for his mother to come back before going to bed, but Chu Tianling was not annoyed, and slowly told Baozi a bedtime story, and then fell asleep while telling Baozi.

Chu Tianling looked at the profile of Baozi who was sleeping soundly, and thought to himself, "Stinky boy, I'm just going to find trouble for your father."

Xia Nuan opened the door and saw Chu Tianling coming out of Baozi's room.

Chu Tianling knew that every time Xia Nuan took part in the translation work, she would not have time to eat, so she specially reserved food for Xia Nuan to warm on the radiator.

"Thank you, Brother Tianling!"

Xia Nuan looked at the steaming eggplant noodles and happily thanked Chu Tianling.

Seeing Xia Nuan happy, Chu Tianling was naturally happy too.

If you can make your wife happy with a bowl of noodles, why not do it?
