Chapter 123

Lin Shu almost laughed when she heard Teacher Ruan's words.

Because she thought of her mother-in-law, who used her to shock the commune secretary, deputy secretary and other leaders with great principles, and scolded Gao Xiaolian's mother so much that she turned over... Qian Manman's mother and Xu Dongmei's mother-in-law were obviously no match for her mother-in-law.

She believed in her mother-in-law as much as she believed in her biological mother, no, her adoptive mother and her husband.

But Teacher Ruan cared about her.

And she also liked her to come and live with her, so that when she lived in the school, her mother-in-law would not be too bored, and she would be worried about her.

…But she was not very kind to Brigadier General Lu.

Lin Shu said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. I know why Qian Manman's mother did this... She said before that she also lived in this family compound, but I have basically seen several families living here before, and there is no mother and daughter, so they may be from the dormitory. She said that she saw them on the train, and said that she lived in the family compound, and there was a malicious intention to pry. It is very likely that she just doesn't like me. The houses here used to be occupied by those people with hats on their heads.

She smiled and said, "People like them rely on their thick skin to get close to me. If I am thin-skinned and think that they are roommates after all, I don't want to offend them, then she will just get close to me, enter the house, and satisfy her various private voyeurism. It is even hard to say what tricks will come out later, but if I have a bad temper... They have now dragged other roommates and their families, and they are not the ones in the front, then I may offend everyone, and I may be excluded in the dormitory in the future. "

"Besides, didn't she say she also lives in the family compound and that her family is a teacher in our department? Looking at me, I dare not offend them. "

"Teacher Ruan frowned and gritted her teeth and said, "How can there be such a shameless person?"

"Seemingly brainless behavior, in fact, it is full of scheming and calculation.

"Lin Shu held her hand and smiled, "But don't worry, sister-in-law, these things are OK for her to deal with others, but not for me. You will go to school with me tomorrow and see how I make them suffer. God bless them to be in school tomorrow."

"He said again, "But if you are willing to come and live for a few days, it would be great. I have to go to class on weekdays, and Zhenzhen will also go to kindergarten next month. At that time, my mother-in-law will be alone. I am also worried that she will be bored. With you here, I will feel more at ease. And don't worry, although my mother-in-law lives in the countryside, she is actually a very knowledgeable and interesting person with a very good heart and straightforward and neat. You will definitely get along with her. "

Teacher Ruan also relaxed after hearing what Lin Shu said.

Lin Shu always had many ways to do things, so she believed her when she said that.

She looked outside, smiled and shook her head, and said, "It's rare to have such a high opinion of your mother-in-law. Look at your roommate Xu Dongmei. I think she has no way to deal with her mother-in-law. She is led by her mother-in-law everywhere."

Lin Shu smiled and said, "Maybe this is their own way of getting along, enjoying themselves. "

She actually didn't dislike Grandma Xu Dongmei that much, she was just provoked by someone and her personality was a bit unbearable.

The knocking sound downstairs continued for a while, and when no one answered for a long time, it finally quieted down.

Lin Shu pulled Teacher Ruan to look out the window, and soon saw that the group of people had gone downstairs.

Just when they thought they were leaving, someone else came out downstairs.

It was Professor Mei, a female professor who lived downstairs.

Professor Mei had just been rehabilitated. Her husband died in the cowshed a few years ago, and her daughter died not long after the movement. The eldest son's family broke off relations with his parents and now lives alone on the two floors below Lin Shu.

Lin Shu greeted her when he moved in, but she responded very coldly.

It was obvious that she had no desire to interact with her neighbors.

... Lin Shu and Teacher Ruan looked at each other, no, it was exposed!

Because they had bumped into Professor Mei at the door when they came back before.

"She is not a nosy person. "

Lin Shu said.

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Professor Mei walk down two steps and said coldly to the group of people outside: "I heard you knocking on the door upstairs, and the stairs were clattering. What are you doing? Do you want to rob? If you don't know, you might think that what happened ten years ago is going to happen again!"

Everyone:...

Everyone was a little embarrassed.

Especially Xue Yu and Qian Manman, because others don't know who Professor Mei is, how can they not know?

This professor, like Xue Yu's elder brother and Qian Manman's uncle, is a professor in the Department of Chinese Language and Literature. However, Qian Manman's uncle was promoted from the previous college counselor in the past ten years because of his legitimate working-class background and cautious and smooth way of doing things. But this Professor Mei is a real master of Chinese language and literature, leaving behindHe has traveled overseas, published countless books, and is a famous scholar throughout the country.

Before, Xue Yu was obsessed with buying a house in the apartment building.

Thinking that it was unnecessary for Professor Mei to live in such a big house alone, even if she didn't have her own house, the school would definitely allocate one to her, so she asked her brother to go to her house and ask her if she was willing to sell the house to them.

As a result, Professor Mei seemed polite but actually despised her and kicked her out with cold words.

Her daughter Qian Manman still has to study in the Department of Chinese Language and Literature.

Even if her eldest brother is the deputy director of the department, it is not good to offend such a great person as Professor Mei.

So when Professor Mei came out and scolded her, Xue Yu and Qian Manman were like quails.

But Xu Dongmei's mother-in-law didn't know.

She saw that the old woman who came out had her hair tied in a bun, combed meticulously, and although she was wearing a dark-colored brocade with a dark sheen, she still wore the old-fashioned slanting collar and buttons, was thin, and had a mean look on her face... She was simply an old landlord lady in the old society? !

She immediately said: "What do you mean by that? The people upstairs are my wife's classmates and roommates. We came to find her roommates. What does it have to do with you? We knocked on the door, but we didn't knock..."

Seeing that they were about to quarrel, Xu Dongmei and Xue Yu were anxious, and pulled Grandma Xu's clothes on the left and right. One said, "Mom, don't say that", and the other said, "Oh, we are wrong, we disturbed others."

After Xue Yu finished talking to Granny Xu, she turned around and apologized to Professor Mei with a drooling smile, saying, "It's our fault, Professor Mei, we're sorry to bother you. We should have knocked on the door quietly when we went upstairs, but Professor Mei, you misunderstood. The people living upstairs are Manman and the classmates and roommates of these children. They all live in the same room. We came here to talk to her."

Professor Mei sneered and said, "Classmates, roommates, all live in the same room?"

She looked around at everyone and said, "That's the freshmen this year, right? Isn't today just the first day of registration? Even if they are classmates and roommates, they are not very familiar with each other, right? Did you say hello in advance when you came to visit? Or did your classmates and roommates invite you?... Seeing that you were turned away, could it be that you have only known each other for a day, or even only met once, and you brought a bunch of people to come uninvited to ask for money?"

Everyone:...

Everyone's face was so hot.

Moreover, knowing that the other party was a "professor", even Xu Dongmei's mother-in-law looked embarrassed and dared not say anything more... Of course, Professor Mei's words were spoken in Mandarin, so she didn't understand much.

Then Professor Mei finally hit her hard, saying: "Last time I heard Deputy Director Xue say that her niece chose the Department of Chinese Language and Literature. Since you are her classmates and roommates, you must also be in the Department of Chinese Language and Literature? You don't even know the most basic etiquette that young children should know, so why are you in the Department of Chinese Language and Literature? It's a joke, I think you should go back and make up for it!"

Several mothers and mothers were embarrassed, and several young people were almost crying because of the scolding.

Xu Dongmei and others apologized, but Professor Mei ignored them. After scolding, he turned around and went back to the house, and then closed the door with a "bang".

Lin Shu and Teacher Ruan were stunned for a long time, watching the people below flee in panic, and finally couldn't help laughing at each other.

Teacher Ruan said, "I thought this professor was difficult to get along with before, but I didn't expect him to be such a nice person."

... Professor Mei knew that they were at home but didn't open the door to these people. Obviously, she guessed that there must be some reason behind this, so she helped them to scold them away. Moreover, with her words and the fact that she lived downstairs, it was guaranteed that no matter how Xue Yu instigated, Xu Dongmei and her mother-in-law would not dare to come over again. Xu Dongmei's mother-in-law might, but Xu Dongmei would definitely hold her back.

Lin Shu scratched his head and smiled, "I knew she was not a bad person and must have her own principles, but I didn't know she would help like this."

... What a wonderful person.

She thought about it, and when she saw Qian Manman and her daughter and the other six people leaving the family compound and walking away from the window, she went downstairs to get a plate of big green dates from the cabinet and sent it downstairs.

These dates are wild in the mountains of Border Village. They are crunchy and very sweet.

The students of Border Village Primary School picked them up from the mountain when Lin Shu came to study.

Professor Mei opened the door and saw that she and Teacher Ruan were as cold as ever.

However, she heard that the dates were wild in the mountains, so she took them anyway.

Lin Shu saw her cold face and did not mention the previous matter, but said very tactfully: "Then Professor Mei, you are busy, we will go upstairs first."

Professor Mei nodded, and the two of them walked upstairs with elegant steps and courtesy.

Professor Mei looked at the backs of the two people, and rarely raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a little smile.

Auntie Hu's train arrived on the morning of January 17th.

The next morning, Lin Shu and Teacher Ruan took Zhenzhen to the train station to pick her up.

This time, Brother Chang sent Auntie Hu here.

What surprised Lin Shu was that Xu Juan actually came with Auntie Hu.

Everyone met, Lin Shu introduced Teacher Ruan to everyone and said hello. Aunt Hu held Zhenzhen's hand, and Lin Shu asked Xu Juan: "Why did you come here with my mother-in-law?" After she was admitted to the university, she should have returned to Xizhou City and not been in Qinghe Brigade. To be honest, they were not on the same road. Xu Juan smiled and said: "I went to your parents' house and knew that Auntie was coming too. My parents thought it was too much trouble to go back and forth from Xizhou City to Nanzhou, so they sent me to the brigade." In fact, it was not that her parents disliked the distance, but that there were too many things to do at home, and her nephews and nieces were still young. It was really hard for her mother to take care of them. She told her parents that she came with Aunt Hu. Her parents saw that there was a policeman to pick up Aunt Hu, so they agreed. Aunt Hu smiled and said, "Luckily, she is here. This girl is careful and can talk. She took the trouble to take care of me all the way. Of course, there is also Xiao Chang. He has worked hard. "

Originally, Aunt Hu thought that she had a good physical condition and there would be no problem in coming here, but she didn't expect that she was old and sitting on the train for more than 30 hours was not a joke. Even if she bought a sleeper ticket in the middle, it was still a pain.

But she was also glad that she came at this time. In a few years, it might be more difficult.

Xu Juan waved her hand and said, "I am the one who benefited from Aunt Hu. Brother Chang also carried my luggage for me all the way."

Chang Li smiled and said, "It's all my duty."

"Okay,"

Lin Shu took Aunt Hu's arm and said, "Everyone has worked hard. Let's go back and have a good rest. "

There is a school bus at the train station to pick up new students.

Lin Shu and Xu Juan took the admission notice and got on the school bus legitimately, and took the bus all the way back to Nanzhou University.

It was still morning, and there was no rush to register.

Lin Shu asked Xu Juan to go to her place to eat something first, take a rest, and then go to school in the afternoon.

When they returned to the apartment building, they met Xue Yu and her daughter coming down the stairs in the distance.

They were stunned when they saw them, and then walked towards them, obviously wanting to chat, but Lin Shu was definitely not interested. She didn't even nod at them. Anyway, they were far away, so she just pretended not to see them.

Auntie Hu was old, but her eyes were sharp. She also saw Xue Yu and her daughter.

She asked in confusion: "Shu Shu, I saw that the two people over there seemed to know us and came towards us. "

Lin Shu took her arm and said with a smile as they walked: "Don't worry about them, mother. They are just like those gossipy women. They will rush over and follow us to our home. Their eyes are eager to pierce the wall to see if there is a secret compartment. I will tell you slowly later."

As he said that, he took Aunt Hu arm and turned into the garden of the apartment building.
