After Meng Lanting returned to Shanghai, because he knew that Professor Zhou and his wife would be back in two days, he declined Xi Songzhou's kindness and no longer stayed with him.
Footsteps settled in the hotel.
Most of the customers of the small hotel are students or relatives and friends.
It is the winter vacation and business is slow.
When the hotel proprietress saw a guest coming, she entertained her warmly and chatted for a few words.
She learned about the relationship between Meng Lanting and Professor Zhou, and saw that Xi Songzhou had sent her.
She was in awe and at the same cost, she chose a hotel with the most complete equipment for her.
After staying in the room for two days, Professor Zhou and his wife returned from their hometown as expected.
Meng Lanting went to visit them immediately, and Xi Songzhou naturally accompanied them.
The residence of Professor Zhou and his wife is located on Difeng Road not far from the university.
The couple are both in their fifties.
Professor Zhou is clear and elegant, with gray hair and a pair of black-framed round glasses.
Although he returned from Europe and the United States in his early years, he still usually wears cloth shirts and cotton shoes.
Judging from the appearance alone, it looks more like a professor of Chinese studies, which is actually correct.
When Professor Zhou was studying, in addition to his main subject of mathematics, he also took a degree in philosophy.
If you didn't know better now, no one would have expected that the old man in front of you, carrying lesson plans and books every day, walking through the fallen leaves path between the teaching building and the library, is the contemporary leader of the domestic mathematics discipline, Zhihua.
Head of the University's Mathematics Department.
Mrs.
Zhou was short, with a kind face and gentle words.
She used to teach history classes at a nearby Chinese and Western girls' school.
In the past two years, due to aging and lack of energy, I have resigned from my teaching position.
The two husbands and wives have been together for half their lives, holding hands through thick and thin.
He and his wife had met Meng Lanting before.
When they met this time, they reminisced about the past and lamented how time flies.
Apart from feeling sad, their old friend's daughter was now in full bloom, and they talked to each other.
Shujia was very happy, she loved her very much, and she was also an old friend.
Feel relieved.
She also learned that Meng Lanting had visited the Feng family, and the Feng family agreed to help her find her brother, which made her even more happy.
Mrs.
Zhou said: "Lanting, although this is good news, with the help of the Feng family, Ruo Yu's whereabouts will probably be revealed soon.
But having said that, sometimes you have to try your luck when searching for someone, even if the Feng family comes forward. , and it may not be possible to find her in the short term.
Since the matters in my hometown have been settled, why don't you stay here and wait for news.
I don't have a daughter, and my two sons have already married, and I won't be around anymore.
I treat you as my daughter.”
Professor Zhou also nodded with a smile.
Meng Lanting was very moved, and Mrs.
Zhou's suggestion was exactly what she thought.
Now that she is here, she also plans to stay in Shanghai.
While waiting for the news, she will continue to inquire.
After thinking for a while, he said: "I am very grateful to my uncle and aunt for taking them in.
I also want to stay.
My aunt is right.
It may not be possible to get news about my brother in a short time.
I am not used to waiting here doing nothing." , so I thought about finding something to do along the way, so that I could earn some extra salary to subsidize the expenses. ” Mrs.
Zhou asked her what she would do.

Meng Lanting said that he had taught mathematics and other courses in a girls' middle school for several years.
Professor Zhou suddenly interrupted: "Lanting, I remember that a few years ago, when I was corresponding with your father, he once praised you and said that your mathematical ability is extraordinary, far superior to that of your younger brother.
Now you have mastered mathematics. to what extent” "No need to be humble.
Just say whatever you want to the extent."
Professor Zhou added another sentence.
Meng Lanting's father was not wrong.
In fact, three years ago, Meng Lanting and his twin brother Meng Ruoyu applied for the provincial government-sponsored study abroad qualification examination for high school graduates.
Her grades were among the best, and she was the best in mathematics.
She got perfect scores, which was extremely impressive.
She could have studied abroad with her younger brother Ruoyu.
Obviously, at that time, they considered that their mother needed to be taken care of by themselves, and Meng's mother was not worried about her going abroad alone at such a young age, so she finally gave up.
But in recent years, Meng Lanting has not stopped his self-study and research on mathematics.
After teaching, whenever I have free time, I use it to study.
Since Professor Zhou said this, Meng Lanting told the truth: "I should have completed all the college mathematics courses, and I have a little understanding of current foreign research.
In the first two years when Ruoyu went abroad, he always collected materials for me and sent them to me. return."
Professor Zhou glanced at her and asked her to follow him into a room used as a study room, took a test paper and ordered her to do it.
Meng Lanting knew that Professor Zhou was testing his own level.
Although he still didn't know the purpose of his move, he didn't ask much.
I took it and sat down.
More than an hour later, I finished answering the test paper, which was originally scheduled for two hours.
Outside, Mrs.
Zhou also prepared lunch and asked Xi Songzhou to stay and eat with her.
Xi Songzhou had a very close relationship with Professor Zhou and his wife, so naturally he would not refuse and happily stayed.
Professor Zhou, however, didn't even eat.
He went to mark the paper first.
After a while, he took out the answer sheet and said with a smile on his face: "Lanting, this paper was prepared by Tsinghua University for the examination for junior college students studying in the United States last year.
So.
Your score will definitely qualify you to study for a degree in Harvard’s Department of Mathematics last year.”
Meng Lanting said with a smile: "I'm not sure about the last question.
The solution is a bit stupid.
I wish Uncle Zhou could explain it to me when he's free."
Professor Zhou nodded repeatedly and was about to give her a question on the spot, but Aunt Zhou took the paper away and put it aside.
She said angrily: "Nothing is more important than eating.
Eat first.
If you don't eat anymore, the food will be cold."
Professor Zhou slapped his forehead and then asked Meng Lanting to sit down.
Xi Songzhou picked up Meng Lanting's answer sheet and glanced at the rows of answers in neat and graceful fonts scattered on the sheet.
Then he raised his eyes and looked at her deeply.
After a meal, several people were chatting and laughing.
After the meal, because the hired female worker had not returned to work, Lanting ignored Mrs.
Zhou's obstruction and went to the kitchen to clean the dishes with her.
After coming out, Professor Zhou asked her to sit down.
Said: "Lanting, the mathematics department of our school has always been short of manpower.
This semester we need to recruit a teaching assistant.
The salary is 30 yuan per month.

Although it is not much, it saves money."
With a few flowers, I should be able to support my monthly expenses.
At the end of last semester, several people had already signed up.
I plan to apply for admission through comprehensive examinations.
You have teaching experience in the past, and depending on your level, you are qualified.
The recruitment for this position happens to be in three days.
I can add you to the application list and take the exam with those others."
Meng Lanting nodded at first, then thought about it, hesitated, and said, "Uncle Zhou, is this convenient for you?
I have no qualifications.
If I participate, I am afraid that someone will criticize you in the name of taking care of your relatives and friends."
Professor Zhou laughed loudly: "Lanting, you are worrying too much.
Those who are pure will themselves be pure.
If I am afraid of people's comments, why should I study?"
Meng Lanting felt relieved and readily agreed.
A few people chatted for a while, and Mrs.
Zhou asked Meng Lanting where he was staying.
Meng Lanting said: "I stayed at Mr.
Xi's place before.
For the past two days, I felt embarrassed to bother me anymore, so I declined Mr.
Xi's invitation and temporarily stayed in the hotel at the gate of the school."
Mrs.
Zhou immediately asked her to move in with her first and said: "Although my place is small, there happens to be an empty room.
It was originally used for the children to live temporarily when they came over.
You can live in it."
After that, she urged her.
Xi Songzhou: "Songzhou, please, please go and carry all Lanting's things here."
Xi Songzhou agreed with a smile and looked at Meng Lanting.
It was cold outside, but Meng Lanting felt warm in his heart.
He no longer refused, stood up and bowed to the couple to thank him, returned to the hotel, checked out of the room, and took his things.
Mrs.
Zhou had already tidied up the house for her, and put clean bedding on the bed.
It was almost dusk after the arrangements were completed.
Xi Songzhou was once again left to have dinner together.
After finishing the meal, he sat for a while and finally stood up to leave.
Meng Lanting saw him outside the door and thanked him for taking care of him these days.
Xi Songzhou waved his hand, his eyes fell on her left hand, hesitated for a moment, and asked: "Where did the injury on the back of your hand come from?
I saw it two days ago."
The whip marks on the back of the hand have faded, and now only a light pink color remains.
Meng Lanting glanced down and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, it's already fine.
I was ironing my clothes that day and was too careless and got burned on the edge of the iron."
Xi Songzhou nodded and told her to be careful in the future.
He stared at her and said, "It's okay.
It's cold outside.
You can go in.
You don't have to see me off anymore.

Get some rest early."
Meng Lanting responded with a smile, said goodbye to him, and turned around to go inside.
In the next few days, Professor Zhou did not give her any guidance, let alone any so-called exam tips.
Meng Lanting immersed himself in reviewing and preparing for the exam.
In the blink of an eye, it’s the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, less than a week before the start of school, and the exams are held as scheduled.
There were three other people competing with Meng Lanting for the teaching assistant position, all of them men.
One of them, Luo Jiajun, had just returned from the Mathematics Department of Tohoku Imperial University in Japan.
It is said that he usually excelled in his studies, but he was deliberately made difficult because he offended the school officials.
He also always hated the Japanese for coveting my Chinese ambitions, so he returned home angrily, and that's why he didn't get his diploma.
This gentleman was impressive and eloquent.
He was also the descendant of a professor surnamed Wang in the Department of Foreign Languages and Literature at Zhihua University.
He was recommended.
He originally thought he was a sure winner.
Unexpectedly, when the results came out the next day, he was ranked second.
The first place was taken by the guy who looked like The young lady surnamed Meng, who was still a female student, won with full marks.
She missed the opportunity and was extremely surprised.
Meng Lanting successfully got the position and used the few days before the start of school to prepare lessons.
After the Lantern Festival, the university resumes its term.
On the first day of the school meeting, Professor Zhou introduced Meng Lanting to his colleagues.
Today's university subjects are dominated by foreign languages, economics, and law, followed by literature and engineering.
Unpopular subjects like mathematics, which are considered useless, have few students.
For example, there are only five freshmen in the Mathematics Department of Nianhua University, and female students are even rarer.
What's more, Meng Lanting is so young.
Everyone was surprised to see that the Mathematics Department had recruited such a young lady as a teaching assistant at the beginning of the new year.
Although she was called a fair reference and was admitted on a merit-based basis, they were all surprised.
Soon, it was rumored that Professor Zhou and his wife had a close relationship with this Miss Meng, and that they lived in Professor Zhou's home.
Therefore, it was inevitable to suspect that this was Professor Zhou taking care of his relatives and friends and providing some convenience.
The professor surnamed Wang from the Department of Foreign Languages and Literature was smiling on the outside, but his words contained a hint of disapproval.
But in today's universities, the department chair has great power over the management of the department and basically has the final say, not to mention Professor Zhou's status as a leading figure.
Although the school office was surprised, it did not express any objection and successfully entered Meng Lanting's name into the register.
The next day was the first lesson that Meng Lanting was going to give to the first-year students who had just entered the school for half a semester last year.
As if to test her, Professor Zhou marked the content for her and threw it all to her without any participation.
The Mathematics Department has a new teaching assistant after the new year.
Not only is she a young lady about the same age as the students, but what is even more eye-catching, according to people who met yesterday, this young lady is also a very beautiful beauty.
This news quickly spread throughout Zhihua University overnight after yesterday's school meeting.
On the morning of the next day, there were still ten minutes left before class started.
Outside the classroom of the mathematics department, which originally only had a maximum of five students, a large number of students from other departments gathered early and came to watch after hearing the news.
Some people even sat down in the classroom openly on the pretext of observing, eagerly waiting for the arrival of the female teaching assistant.
At 8:01, a black car parked on the roadside in front of Zhihua University.
Lao Yan got out of the car from the back seat, picked up the luggage that Mr.
Feng packed for Meng Lanting from Nanjing, stood outside the car, looked at Feng Kezhi in front, and said cautiously: "Ninth Young Master, then I will go find Miss Meng and bring the luggage to Meng Lanting."
Something was given to her.”
Feng Kezhi rested his hands on the steering wheel casually, turned his face, glanced at the university door, and said expressionlessly: "I still have something to do, hurry up."
"Ninth Young Master, you can go ahead.
I'll go back by myself after seeing Miss Meng."

Since the "Daily Note" incident, Lao Yan spoke quickly to the young master in front of him, not even daring to speak with any dignity.
He arrived in Shanghai last night.
Early this morning, he asked himself to deliver the things that the master ordered to bring here.
Lao Yan agreed and everyone got on the bus, but he changed his mind and said that he happened to be passing by here for something, so Lao Yan sat in the back seat and awkwardly enjoyed the exceptional treatment given to him by Master Ninth as a driver.
"Let you go in, just go in.
Why are there so many words?
If she is in class, just wait outside."
Feng Kezhi touched his face with some faint whip marks, frowned, and said impatiently.
"Hey, I understand, let's go" Lao Yan was confused, picked up the things, turned around and hurried inside.
Feng Kezhi watched his back disappear through the door, took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, but did not light it, just bit it in his mouth playfully, closed his eyes and leaned back on the chair.
Slowly, as if he was falling asleep, Lao Yan, who had just entered, suddenly hurried back from the school gate.
Feng Kezhi opened his eyes, looked at the things in his hands, and raised his eyebrows: "What's going on, she's not here?"
"No, no" Lao Yan gasped and shook his head vigorously.
"Isn't Miss Meng's first day at work today?
I just asked someone and said she was in the classroom on the second floor in the east, so I went there.
I saw someone talking to a student in the corner of the stairs. , I was about to go over and ask about Miss Meng’s classroom, but what a coincidence, I happened to hear them mention Miss Meng's name, so I paid attention.
I couldn't hear clearly what the two people said, but it seemed that they wanted the student to make things difficult for Miss Meng in class.
I wanted to let you know, Ninth Young Master, so I ran back first."
Feng Kezhi spit out the cigarette in his mouth and got out of the car.
“Go and have a look” A gloomy look quickly passed through his eyes, he looked at the door in front of him, narrowed his eyes, and walked away quickly. gd1806102:
