Chapter 194
Yang Guo went to school again that day. With a car, everything is much more convenient! It took me less than 20 minutes to drive from home to school. Of course, it's also because Yang Guo didn't go in the peak period.
Today, Yang Guo is going to see the house. He saw the rent information of the teacher's apartment near the school in the school forum. The local Yang Guo once passed by when he was studying. Although it was built in the last century, it has been more than ten years now, but at least from the outside, it is still very good,.
Looking at the photos sent by the old professor, Yang Guo also likes it very much. One room and one living room are well decorated, and the rent is not too expensive. Compared with other houses nearby, it is a conscience price. If Yang Guo rents it and goes to graduate school, it is estimated that he will live here a few days a week!
Of course, Yang Guo also considered renting a house next to the school rather than running in two places, but that would be far away from Song Zhiwen and Duan Xueqing. He still prefers to play with song Zhiwen and them, a bit like the classic American sitcom Friends.
Renting two houses is affordable for Yang Guo at present. He now focuses on small language translation, and the remuneration for translation is increasing. Moreover, after going to graduate school, the dean said that there were still many subsidies for teaching assistants every month. Of course, that little money was not as much as Yang Guo usually earned, but it was more than enough to rent a house.
However, before going to see the house, Yang Guo went to the college building first. Today, he also made an appointment with the dean to give him a study report!
Yang Guo reported once before, but this time is special because it is the first time to take Qiqi there. Fang Beibei came home for a few days, and Yang Guo had to bite the bullet and take Qiqi.
Seeing Qiqi, Chen Zongdai was not only not angry, but also very happy. He said, "I heard from your report that you have a child. Today, I am finally willing to bring it to the teacher to have a look?"
Although Yang Guo hasn't officially enrolled in school yet, he has given a disciple salute to Chen Zongdai. He smiled and said, "I'm not afraid to disturb your work, teacher!"
"Say what, can't my Chen Zongdai's territory accommodate a child?" Chen Zongdai held Qiqi and sat back in his seat with a smile.
Listening to Yang Guo's report, Chen Zongdai is more and more satisfied with his new disciple. He not only finished reading the books he assigned to him, but also thoroughly understood them!
Chen Zongdai doesn't care whether Yang Guo can recite the contents of the book or not. What he appreciates is that after reading the book, Yang Guo can draw inferences from one instance and ask many questions, and then discuss them with the teacher. The happiest thing between teachers and apprentices is this academic interaction.
"Good, good, you learn very fast!" When the discussion and guidance came to an end, Chen Zongdai lifted his head, avoided Qiqi's hand grasping his beard, and praised.
"Qiqi!" Yang Guo's eyes stared round and frightened her before she stopped being naughty.
"Hey! Why are you scaring the children!" Chen Zongdai immediately changed from the victim to Qiqi's umbrella, blowing his beard and staring at Yang Guo.
"How did you feel when you went to Professor Wang's class recently?" Chen Zongdai asked.
"I'm still slowly groping and learning Professor Wang's class skills." Yang Guo scratched his head and said, "I haven't been a teacher at all."
Chen Zongdai waved his hand and said, "don't worry. You still have a long time to study. When you come in, Professor Wang sometimes asks you to help replace the undergraduate courses. With more practice, experience will come."
To tell the truth, Chen Zongdai didn't want to see the college make achievements in Swedish too urgently, because it was impossible for Yang Guo to hold up a big flag alone. Yang Guo can inherit his mantle in linguistics, and if he can be better than blue, Chen Zongdai will have found a treasure!
That Swedish is just a bonus. He wanted Yang Guo to start a class, but it was just a whim. If he could succeed, it would be better. If he could not succeed, there would be no way out for him to continue learning linguistics.
Yang Guo said, "Professor Wang still takes good care of me. After class, she will answer my questions patiently."
Chen Zongdai nodded slightly.
After a while of communication, Yang Guo looked at the time and said, "teacher, do you have anything else to do? If not, I'll go out first."
"Don't stay and go to dinner later?" Chen Zongdai asked. Last time, Yang Guo accompanied him to the canteen for a teacher's meal. The school food was generally tasteless, and the teacher's food was not much better. But Chen Zongdai still enjoyed it and insisted on eating at noon every day.
Yang Guo said with a smile, "no, I'm going to see the house later. I made an appointment with the landlord in the morning."
"You want to rent a house?" Chen Zongdai asked, "wait a few months, won't there be a dormitory? The graduate dormitory is much better than when you were an undergraduate."
Yang Guo said in his heart, "teacher, how many years have you not gone down to visit the people? I don't know that students are in deep trouble! Let alone graduate students, doctoral students' dormitories are old dormitories for decades, and I'm sad to see it!"
Of course, whether it's good or bad, Yang Guo doesn't plan to live in the dormitory. He explained: "usually, I have to take my children with me. The dormitory is inconvenient, so I'd better go out and rent a house myself."
Chen Zongdai knew that if his English reached Yang Guo's level, he would basically not lose money. He could earn money just by going out and doing interpretation. He didn't say anything, so he handed Qiqi back to Yang Guo and let him rent a house.
Yang Guo went out, then knocked on the door and came back: "teacher, I forgot one thing."
"What is it?" Chen Zongdai asked.
"I want to ask if the college can help me get a pass? It's inconvenient to drive here without a pass." Yang Guo laughed.
"OK, I'll find someone to do it for you. Write down the license plate number for me, and you can get it next time." Chen Zongdai said carelessly.
Out of the college building, Yang Guo drove out the back door of the school, and the teacher's apartment was less than three minutes' drive away.
When Yang Guo rang the doorbell, a white haired grandfather came to open the door for him.
"Hello!" The old man looked very strong, and he greeted him with a pair of big framed eyes.
"Hello!" Yang Guo hugged Qiqi and walked in with a smile.
"Just look around, don't dislike the old man's things!" The old man said with a smile.
Yang Guo looked at the room with everything neatly arranged except a few books on the tea table and said, "where, your room is too tidy, and you don't call it cleaning, then I really don't know where else in the world there is cleaning!"
"Are you moving?" Yang Guo looked around the house. There were several leather boxes in the corner, and another was packing.
"Yes, I have retired. I don't have to go to class. I should go back to my hometown to live in peace." The old man laughed.
"Are you still a teacher?" Yang Guo said in surprise, "Professor of Dongshan university?" He asked this because the teachers' apartments here were first built and distributed to the teachers of Dongshan University. However, later, the house price rose, and many teachers sold their houses. Therefore, many of the teachers living here are not teachers.
"Yes, if I come to class, I have lived here for more than ten years. If I didn't want to go back to my hometown, I would really hate to rent it out." The old man said.
It turned out to be an old professor from his alma mater. Yang Guo was awed. He asked, "have you asked your name yet?"
"There's no big name. Just call me Lao tan." The old man is very cheerful and keeps smiling.
"Miss Tan." Yang Guo didn't dare to call someone's surname directly, but he still said respectfully, "I'm also from Dongshan University, so I don't want to call you a teacher."
Qiqi looked at the old man with white beard in front of her curiously. Her eyes glanced at the old man's beard from time to time, which seemed to be longer than that of Grandpa Chen just now! Qiqi felt her hands itchy and wanted to stretch out her hand and grab it.
However, she was soon held away by her father. Yang Guo, led by the old man, visited the house and looked at it inside and outside. The more he looked at the house, the more satisfied he became.
There is a simple style everywhere, no matter in the living room or room, there is not much furniture, three or two rattan chairs, some years' tea tables, solid wood long tables, and even the clean walls are only plastered with a thin layer of lime powder, and there are no ceramic tiles with decorative patterns. It can be said that the place where Yang Guo lives now is a completely different world.
But what is there? Rattan chair can sit or lie down, which is a good choice for quiet reading. The tea table is old and nothing at all. I have nothing to do. Drinking tea makes me feel better. The long solid wood table is big enough to teach Fang Beibei. There is really no picture on the wall, but you can hang a blackboard and curtain, paint and write, and put a projection.
The house is still so warm that it faces south and will not be tortured by the scorching sunshine in the West. There is a small balcony outside the frosted glass window. The old man planted some green plants, and now it is full of the breath of spring.
Although it is only a room and a living room with a size of 40 square meters, there are all kinds of small balconies, kitchens, toilets, etc., and it won't give people a narrow feeling. And it's close to the school, and it's closer to Fang Beibei's dormitory. If Fang Beibei comes here, it's less than 15 minutes' walk!
"If you don't want the rattan chair, I can let someone move it." The old man looked at the rattan chair for several times when he saw Yang Guo, and quickly explained.
He felt that Yang Guo was the type of tenant he was looking for, and his clothes were very clean. Although he came with children, a man who was willing to bring children must be a very careful person and would not make his house ugly. And Yang Guo has a faint temperament, a scholarly temperament, which gives him the feeling of his own people.
"Oh, no, don't move!" Yang Guo laughed, "I really like it."
