I studied abroad in modern times

Eating with Teacher Wada is a very pleasant thing - the old lady introduced by Mr. Bai has a surname of Tian. She joked that it was this surname that allowed her to farm fields all her life.

She is not a good-looking person.

Probably for the sake of easy care, her hair only reaches her earlobes, and her skin is not fair. Instead, it is dark from farm work, mixed with a bit of sickly sallowness.

It can be seen that even when she was young, she was probably not considered a beauty.

But her smile was infectious in another way.

It's that kind of hearty, heroic, and even a little indecent smile - her mouth is opened wide, her head is slightly raised when she smiles, and sometimes her upper jaw can be seen.

Teacher Tian is very talkative.

Let’s not talk about it with good friends like Old Man Bai.

She also had something to talk with Tang Lingwu. The two of them talked about everything from what kind of milk tea they like to drink to what styles of skirts are popular recently.

The mentality is very young.

After hearing that Zheng Fa’s parents had passed away a long time ago, Teacher Tian’s reaction was also different from ordinary people - she did not show the condescending sympathy that ordinary people often have, but said warmly: "It will become more and more popular in the future." OK."

Although it's just one sentence.

But Zheng Fa could also see that the words themselves contained the simplest blessing.

This old lady also has a big appetite. At first, when Zheng Fa and the others saw that she ordered so many dishes, they thought she was extravagant - but it turned out that this old lady could eat from beginning to end.

It seemed that Zheng Fa and the other three were surprised.

Teacher Tian smiled and said nonchalantly: "I used to work a lot, and my appetite has grown up, so I'm used to it... Now, every extra bite counts."

The smile on Old Man Bai's face slowly faded, and his eyes looked a little worried.

"What exactly is the disease?"

"There was something growing on my liver. I had it cut once, but it grew back later." Teacher Tian explained, shrugged and said, "Doctors don't dare to treat me anymore. They say I'm afraid of something happening at my age... I'm not good either." Making things difficult for others, right?”

Old Man Bai glanced at Zheng Fa.

Zheng Fa nodded slightly.

He has already thought of several spiritual talismans to cure diseases. As for whether they are useful, he still has to check them in Xuanwei Realm.

Teacher Tian glanced at Old Man Bai and suddenly said: "I can't decide whether you die or not. There is only one thing I want to ask you for."

"Um?"

"My mother..."

Old Man Bai was stunned.

"After I got this disease, the person who suffered the most was not me, but my mother... When I saw you, I had to go back to spend the last days with my mother." Teacher Tian said slowly: "I'm not worried about her pension money. , I saved a sum for her, which should be enough with the pension and so on. There is only one thing - if you have time, go and see her more. "

"……good."

Teacher Tian smiled and said: "I originally thought I could send my mother away in this life, but I didn't expect that she would have to send me away. I actually don't think it would be good to die, but my mother lost her husband and daughter, and she will be alone in the future. I’m lonely... I have no friends or family, so I can only rely on a few friends.”

Old Man Bai nodded slightly.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. It's not good for two children to listen to this." Teacher Tian smiled, picked up the drink in the cup and said to Zheng Fa: "I heard that you are going to take the college entrance examination?"

"Um."

"Then let me first wish you a gold medal!"

Looking at Teacher Tian's smiling eyes, Zheng Fa paused and drank the drink in the cup.

…

Sitting in the car, looking at Teacher Tian standing at the door of the hotel waving goodbye to them, Old Man Bai glanced at Zheng Fa and asked:

"Is there any way?"

"You can try it."

Zheng Fa thought for a while and responded.

They didn't mention treating Teacher Tian today. The first one was their first meeting, and they didn't have this idea.

The second one is actually more important——

Accepting Teacher Tian into the nursing home is actually more strict than Aunt Ye.

The secret of cultivating immortals must not be hidden from Teacher Tian, ​​otherwise it will be difficult for him to use his talents.

"I asked you to come here today because I want you to have a chat with her." Old Man Bai said his thoughts: "You mentioned several conditions for recruiting people to the nursing home before. I thought about it and found that there is actually one more thing."

Zheng Fa looked at Old Man Bai.

"Congenial temperament."

"..." Zheng Fa nodded.

This was indeed something he didn't expect.

"A team, even if they are all good people, can easily get into trouble if their personalities don't get along. We are doing well now." Old Man Bai shook his head and said: "If other people come in and don't get along, it will be bad, so I want you to see me. What do you think of her?"

Zheng Fa thought about the details of Teacher Hetian's meal and said with a smile: "It's not bad for the time being."

He finally understood why Old Man Bai wanted him and Tang Lingwu to come over first to meet Teacher Tian.

The main reason is to let them see what kind of person Teacher Tian is and whether they can get along well with him.

"Yes, she is indeed a nice person, otherwise I wouldn't have had this idea." Old Man Bai nodded and said: "As for her professional ability, although she is not among the top ones, she has also led national-level projects. I don't think so. She knows her profession well, so she should be able to do it.”

"Um."

"Finally, character..." Old Man Bai was silent for a while, then slowly said: "Character is actually the most difficult thing for me... I have lived for so many years, and I have to say whose character I really trust. ”

"Just one or two people."

"..." Zheng Fa's face became more solemn when he heard this.

"They say mathematics is difficult, but from my point of view, people's hearts are even more difficult."

…

Zheng Fa returned home and was still thinking about what Old Man Bai had said before.

Among the four talismans to be condensed next, there must be a place for a medical talisman - even if he didn't meet Teacher Tian, ​​he had to condense this kind of talisman.

This is the foundation for Zheng Fa to maintain the nursing home.

On the way back, Old Man Bai probably didn't want to embarrass Zheng Fa, so he didn't ask him again.

But his words were all about pleading for Teacher Tian.

Let's not talk about the value of Teacher Tian as a person, just talk about his relationship with Old Man Bai, and Old Man Bai's help to him - even just look at the Three-Character Theory that the old man worked out for several nights last month to give him a gift.

Zheng Fa was also willing to help.

What made Zheng Fa think was Old Man Bai's discussion on character.

Old Man Bai had met quite a few people in his life, and there were many academic masters, but character was really hard to say.

On the one hand, he recommended Teacher Tian, ​​of course, to give Teacher Tian a chance to treat illnesses.

But on the other hand, there was really no one to recommend.

Zheng Fa understood Old Man Bai's caution - this was a responsibility to their small group.

But on the other hand, he also knew that he couldn't rely on the old man Bai for this matter.

Zheng Fa must have some means to test human nature or prevent leaks.

"Illusion Talisman."

This was the first choice that came to his mind - after all, as the only disciple of the master, he was very familiar with the illusion talisman.

Thinking of this, two of the remaining four sub-talismans in the talisman foundation-building method have been determined - the healing talisman and the illusion talisman.

...

On the third day after returning from the provincial capital, the college entrance examination began.

Zheng Fa's examination room was not in Qingshui High School, but in Experimental Middle School.

This is a junior high school, not far from Qingshui High School, and it takes 20 minutes to get there by bus from home.

On the morning of the first day of the college entrance examination, Zheng Fa took a transparent file bag, checked the admission ticket and stationery inside, and took the bus to Experimental Middle School.

On this day, the whole city seemed to make way for the college entrance examination.

The road in front of Qingshui High School was closed.

The passing vehicles didn't honk much.

The bus Zheng Fa took was also full of parents who were sending their children to take the exam and students preparing for the college entrance examination.

The bus driver was quite thoughtful - he played an inspirational song in the bus all the way.

But Zheng Fa could clearly see that the expressions on the faces of the students on the bus became more nervous.

When they arrived at the Experimental Middle School, it was not time to enter the examination room.

Zheng Fa stood at the gate of the Experimental Middle School, waiting to enter with other candidates.

Soon, he realized that he seemed to be quite eye-catching - other candidates were accompanied by their parents to take the exam, but he was alone, holding a file bag.

He looked a little lonely.

Zheng Fa didn't mind. A thin boy stood next to him, who seemed very familiar. After looking at him twice, he suddenly asked him: "Brother, did you come alone?"

"Yeah."

"Where are your parents?"

"It's not convenient for them." Zheng Fa replied indifferently.

"Your parents are so nice..." The boy seemed to envy Zheng Fa's freedom, and he also seemed to be showing off that he was spoiled. He said to Zheng Fa: "Unlike my parents, they get up at five or six in the morning and are more nervous than me... Look, even my grandparents are here."

Zheng Fa looked at the direction his finger pointed to. There were indeed four adults looking at this place. When they saw him looking over, they nodded and smiled at him kindly.

"Zheng Fa, why don't you reply to Tang Lingwu's message in the group?"

The two were chatting casually, and a girl from Zheng Fa's class passed by, and it seemed that she was also taking an exam in this school.

She shouted to Zheng Fa as soon as she saw him.

"Message?" Zheng Fa was stunned: "I didn't bring my phone."

He thought it was inconvenient to hand in his belongings after entering the examination room, so he simply didn't bring anything except the exam supplies. Anyway, he didn't need to contact anyone, and he could just go home directly after leaving the examination room.

"Didn't bring your phone?" Zheng Fa's classmate said: "Then I'll tell her that you're here."

After a while, Zheng Fa saw Tang Lingwu trotting over.

He had never seen Tang Lingwu like this. Tang Lingwu was dressed very ordinary at school.

Most of the time, she wore ordinary T-shirts or shirts, and sometimes she wore the kind of school uniforms that were least popular among boys and girls.

Most of the time, she wore jeans on her lower body, and she rarely wore skirts.

But today, Tang Lingwu wore a small cheongsam. I don’t know if it was because of her own talent or because the dress was cut very finely, but her figure was very beautiful.

When she ran over, she attracted a lot of attention.

The boy next to Zheng Fa couldn’t help staring at her all the way, until Tang Lingwu approached, he embarrassedly retracted his gaze.

"I'll take you to the exam!" Tang Lingwu walked up to Zheng Fa, smiled with her face up, and deliberately turned around and said: "Look, the first victory!"

Zheng Fa saw the boy next to him turn his head to look at his somewhat large group of people sending him to the exam, and then looked at Tang Lingwu - as if he wanted to change.
