Chapter 74 The Once Idol
It was half past four when I walked out of the examination room, and there were more students on campus now.
Some are wearing nice clothes and cool hairstyles, ready to go out for fun, while others are wearing sportswear to go running and playing ball.
The sunset sun fell on Yuan Jia's hair, giving it a faint golden halo.
He was walking slowly, and many girls were secretly looking at him.
Yuan Jia's appearance is not old-fashioned. She has fair and clean skin, a tall and thin figure, and wears a white shirt. Her hair style is also the kind of soft-line diagonal texture. She looks particularly urban and fashionable. Because of her handsome appearance, she is really handsome.
Like a little star.
In fact, when he was in high school, a so-called talent scout actually came to see him. I don't know if he was a liar, but Yuan Jia rejected him anyway.
Good-looking people are popular wherever they go. People are born with more gentleness and patience towards beautiful things.
Including when many clients are looking for a psychological counselor, the most critical factor before the consultation begins is not the pile of certificates of the other party, nor his reputation, but a feeling that makes people not feel disgusted when getting along with him.
Some people can be 'cured' just by their appearance.
Appearance problems are one of the most annoying problems in adolescence. They may grow out in a few years, or they may just get over in a few years...
Yuan Jia looked at the time and walked towards the basketball court. His father was probably playing basketball at the moment and asked him to go home for dinner.
Yuanyuan is a professor in the Department of Biology and has been teaching at Soochow University for more than 20 years. Now he does not have many courses, only about six classes per week. Most of the rest of the time is spent on scientific research projects, about biopharmaceuticals.
Yes, I also brought two graduate students with me.
In terms of academic research, Yuanyuan is also a well-known professor in the industry. He has published countless papers, won provincial first prizes for his scientific research achievements many times, and his status in the school is also quite high.
Father and son usually don't communicate much, but Yuan Jia knows that his personality is actually that of Yuan Yuan. He takes academics seriously, only seeks peace and stability in life, and is very harmonious in dealing with others.
My mother's education is not high, and she seems to be incompatible with my father, an intellectual. But love is so magical, and the two of them really see eye to eye.
For Yang Hemei, she looks forward to her husband's career. He is an educated man and has the romance of an educated man.
For Yuan Yuan, he cannot do without his wife's care of the family. Three meals a day, tenderness and concern all make him feel warm and real.
After being married for more than 20 years, Yuan Jia remembers that the couple almost never quarreled. Anyway, Yang and Mei took care of the little things. Her husband worked outside to earn money. As a housewife, she still managed the house in order.
Unknowingly, he arrived at the basketball court. From a distance, Yuan Jia saw a group of greasy middle-aged men with glasses wearing jerseys and shorts playing basketball. They were sweating like rain. They didn't play well, but they were quite energetic.
They were all teachers at the school, and Yuan Yuan was also there. He had just come off the court at this moment, and sat cross-legged under the basketball hoop, holding his glasses in one hand, and taking out a handkerchief from his backpack with the other hand to wipe the sweat on the frames of the glasses.
Yuanyuan is fifty years old, and his physical fitness is naturally not as strong as when he was young. He will be exhausted after playing for a while, but he never tires of it.
Director Chen is also here. Regardless of their skills, these two are used by golfers to balance the strength of the two teams when they are grouped together.
When Yuan Yuan raised his head, he also saw his son walking this way. He was stunned and shouted: "Hey, why are you here? Isn't it a written test? What time is it..."
"After I finished writing, I came here for a walk. Are you still typing? It's almost time to go home for dinner."
Yuan Jia also sat down cross-legged under the basketball stand and greeted Director Chen with a smile: "Hello, Professor Chen. It's been a long time. I just watched you play and you were very energetic."
Director Chen naturally recognized Yuan Jia. He was older than Yuan Yuan. He smiled and patted Yuan Jia on the shoulder with his palm, which was particularly strong. Yuan Jia was shaken by the pat.
"You brat, can I compare with you young people in terms of body and bones? How about it? You should have done well in today's written test, right?"
He did not ask why Yuanjia was considering coming back to be a lecturer. Compared to other people applying for this position, Director Chen naturally preferred Yuanjia to take the position. On the one hand, he was familiar with him, and on the other hand, Yuanjia's own qualities were quite good.
Director Chen is the head of the Department of Psychology and also a professor. Yuan Jia was his graduate student back then.
"It's not difficult. They are all basic questions. If you do them quickly, you will get out early." Yuan Jia said with a smile.
"Then don't do it randomly. Have you finished the questions? Let me tell you, if you can't get the first place in the written test, then you have no chance. I think most of the people here are doctoral students.
.”
Director Chen always speaks straightforwardly, and when it comes to academic discussions, he thinks very highly of himself. He is the kind of professor who is difficult to get along with and has a bad temper in the eyes of students. Studying psychology is actually studying people. He likes Yuan very much.
Jia, I think he is spiritual.
"It shouldn't be a big problem."
"Hey, you're quite confident."
There was nothing much to say about the exam, so Yuan Yuan and Director Chen started making appointments to go fishing on the weekend.
While their parents were talking, Yuan Jia was listening. Occasionally giving some affirmations to both parties, or just nodding, and not taking the initiative to initiate the topic. They felt that Yuan Jia was very sensible, unlike many young people of his age who thought that
They old men are out of date in everything and don't understand anything anymore.
"Oops..." Yuan Yuan stood up from the ground, dusted his butt, and now that he had had a rest and played enough balls, it was time to go home and eat.
"Old Chen, let's go back first. Then you can drive to pick me up tomorrow. It's really difficult to get in there..."
"Okay, you guys go back. I've almost returned. I have to look at the papers first."
Director Chen also stood up, patted his butt, picked up his things, and walked to the college office.
Of course, he doesn't need to correct the test paper, but it still needs to be read. Director Chen is also very curious about Yuan Jia's paper.
…
Father and son walked together.
Normally, if the weather is good, Yuanyuan would walk to work. If it rains heavily or something, he would drive Huihui to school and then drive back here himself.
Like many families, the relationship between father and son is relatively subtle and not as close as that between mother and son.
Yuan Jia's first idol was his father, but as he grew older, this idol seemed to be untenable in his heart.
I can't say he was in the rebellious stage, but Yuan Yuan was not as admired in his heart as he was when he was a child.
Father and son have not walked side by side like this for many years. Naturally, Yuanjia cannot cling to her father like Huihui. He is also a mature man.
As a result, the two of them didn't talk much. Occasionally Yuan Jia would stir up some topics, but they were not like friends who could talk about anything, nor did they listen to their father obediently like they did when they were children.
He has nothing to teach his son anymore, and his son will not ask him as many questions as before.
The former idol is really old.
This feels weird and a bit sad.
"I remember there was a stream in this area before, right?" Yuan Jia asked.
"Yes, you filled in the land when you were very young, and now there is a big shopping mall here. Look over there, it used to be a wasteland..."
"...There were not so many cars in the past. At that time, your mother was working in a factory, and I took her to and from get off work on my bicycle for three years."
"...That factory has been closed down for more than ten years. Now everything is changing quickly..."
It seems that all Yuanyuan can talk about is his life experience and memories.
Yuan Jia also cherished this common topic, chatting with his father about the past and the changes in Sunan over the years.
Sunset, setting in the west.
…
The exam was over, and the teacher in charge took the papers back, and Director Chen took them over for a brief look.
One portion, two portions...turn it from top to bottom, and frown slightly.
The questions were not asked by him, they were all relatively basic questions. After all, most of the candidates had a high degree of education, but they were only teaching undergraduates, so there was no need to ask too difficult questions.
The amount of questions is quite large and the exam time is short, so the main assessment is completion and accuracy. The more solid the foundation of the exam, the higher the score will naturally be.
I just flipped through it all the way, but I didn’t meet anyone who had answered all the questions. Moreover, judging from the paper, the writing became more sloppy as you went to the back, and the ideas for solving the questions were not as clear as the previous questions. This is because the mentality is not good enough.
Some have a high degree of completion, reaching 90%, and some have a low degree of completion, less than 80%.
Yuan Jia's paper was at the bottom. Director Chen picked it up and looked at it, showing surprise.
Every question was answered perfectly, all based on the knowledge content in the textbook. The answers were quite standard and beautiful, and the neatness of the paper was impeccable. No other paper could compare with Yuanjia's paper.
Chapter completed!
