The conflict between their family and Professor Zhang's family is very simple. The men from both families are professors in the school, and they are in a competitive relationship. They see each other every day, so conflicts always arise.
As time goes by, the conflicts become out of control.
The men of the two families are in opposition to each other, and the wives must dislike each other. They often compare with each other, comparing whose rice is more delicious, whose meals are better, and whose children study better.
Professor Zhang's wife, Shi Xiaoli, was a native of the capital. She looked down on Aunt Zhang, a country bumpkin. She always put on airs and acted as if she was unwilling to argue with Aunt Zhang.
This made Aunt Zhang very angry.
"Who does she think she is? She is just a textile factory worker. Who is she pretending to be so noble in front of?
One year when there was a famine and her family was unable to make ends meet, I had to scoop out a large bag of flour from the flour jar so that they could barely fill their stomachs.
Shi Xiaoli is an ungrateful person, and now she dares to look down on us."
"Aunt Zhang, don't be angry. I think you are a thousand times better than her."
...
...
"You are the one who speaks in a pleasant way," said Aunt Zhang.
Seeing that the time was right, Ye Hanhan asked further, "Why do you say that Professor Zhang is also an ungrateful person?"
Aunt Zhang was so happy with Ye Xuanhan's coaxing that she let down her guard.
"I'm only telling you this, just treat it as a joke, don't tell anyone else."
Ye Xuanhan immediately pricked up his ears, "Don't worry, Aunt Zhang, I'm keeping my mouth shut."
Aunt Zhang looked at Jiang Wang again, and Ye Han said hurriedly, "He is the same."
After getting assurances from the two, Aunt Zhang began to speak.
"At first, there was a professor named Wang in the school who was very close to Professor Zhang. He was framed and sent to the countryside for reform. Professor Zhang looked heartbroken on the surface, but he was actually a mean person.
Professor Wang was reported by him, and in the end he even went to his home, crying over the rat. It's really disgusting."
"Ah?" Ye Hanhan felt that his understanding of Professor Zhang was about to be overturned. "Is this guess reliable? I seem to have heard that Mr. Wang and Professor Zhang are in a teacher-student relationship."
Professor Zhang was a student taught by Professor Wang. After graduation, Professor Wang recommended Professor Zhang to stay on at the school to teach, and the two later became close friends.
These were all said by Mr. Wang himself.
"How can it be unreliable? My wife saw it with her own eyes—"
When it came to the key point, Aunt Zhang saw Ye Xuanhan's inquiring eyes and suddenly stopped talking, as if she realized that she had said something wrong.
"Forget it. Whether you believe it or not, it's the truth. That Jiang guy is just a nobody."
When it comes to Professor Zhang, Aunt Zhang feels so angry that her teeth itch.
"My man was almost killed by him at school. I get angry just talking about it."
Ye Hanhan felt that there was no need for him to listen any more, so he said, "Aunt Zhang, it's getting late, we should go. We'll see each other again if we have the chance in the future."
"Okay, let's go, I should also make dinner."
After leaving Aunt Zhang's house, Ye Hanhan and Jiang Wang stood at the bottom of the tube building waiting for Professor Zhang to get off work.
After finally waiting until the end of get off work, Ye Hanhan and Jiang Wang went to knock on Professor Zhang's door again, but they still got the news that Professor Zhang had not returned home.
Finally, I had to go back to the Siheyuan.
On the way back, Ye Hanhan and Jiang Wang began to review what happened today.
"Jiang Wang, do you think Professor Zhang is an ungrateful person like Aunt Zhang said?" Ye Hanhan kept thinking about this matter and didn't feel sleepy at all.
"I don't know," Jiang Wang said, "Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. Let's go find Professor Zhang."
"Then shall we go to school and wait for him tomorrow?" Ye Han asked.
"good."
The main purpose of coming to the capital this time is to find Professor Zhang and ask him to return the property to Mr. Wang and Grandma Meng, so Ye Han does not intend to give up easily.
The next morning, the two got up early, had breakfast, and went to the gate of Capital University to wait for Professor Zhang.
Ye Xuanhan looked at the students around him curiously.
They were either wearing blue work clothes or green military uniforms, and a few were wearing white shirts.
The age range is also very wide, ranging from teenagers to middle-aged and elderly people in their fifties and sixties with beards.
This is also a feature of the 1970s. During this era, students who went to university were all workers, peasants and soldiers, collectively known as worker-peasant-soldier students, and were recommended to go to university.
The campus at that time was very simple, but everyone had a smile on their face.
Ye Xuanhan randomly pulled a younger person and said, "Hello, classmate. Do you know Professor Zhang?"
She was not allowed to enter or leave the school as she pleased, and the guards at the gate would ignore her.
Ye Xuanhan could only resort to the dumbest method, which was to see if there were any students who could help him.
Looking at the incredibly beautiful Ye Yuhan, the boy blushed, "Which... which Professor Zhang?"
Ye Hanhan replied: "The chapter of the article."
"I...I've taken Professor Zhang's class. He should also come to school at this time."
The boy couldn't help but look up at Ye Xuanhan who was smiling brightly. His cheeks turned even redder, and then he didn't dare to look at anyone and lowered his head slightly.
Jiang Wang frowned and wanted to pull Ye Han to his side.
At this time, the boy suddenly pointed at a man in his forties in the distance and said, "Look, isn't that Professor Zhang? Are you looking for him?"
There was only one person with the surname Zhang in the school, so the boy was very sure that Ye Xuanhan was looking for him.
"Thank you, classmate."
Ye Hanhan said to Jiang Wang, "Let's go and say hello to Professor Zhang."
After saying that, Ye Hanhan waved to Professor Zhang in the distance, "Good morning, Professor Zhang."
Professor Zhang paused, looked up and saw Ye Hanhan and Jiang Wang.
A look of doubt appeared on his face.
Ye Hanhan stepped forward and said to Professor Zhang, "Are you free now? I want to talk to you about something."
Professor Zhang thought that Ye Xuanhan and Jiang Wang were just two ordinary students, but he didn't pay much attention to them, so when faced with Ye Xuanhan's request, he nodded and agreed.
With the guidance of Professor Zhang, Ye Hanhan and Jiang Wang finally entered the school.
Several people came to Professor Zhang's office. The space inside was not big, but it belonged to Professor Zhang alone.
"My two classmates, if you have any questions, just ask."
Professor Zhang has a kind smile and looks like a scholar.
"We are not students," Ye Han explained, "We are here to find you."
"Looking for me?"
Ye Xuanhan lowered his voice and said, "Professor Zhang, do you still remember Professor Wang?"
Hearing this familiar name, Professor Zhang paused for a moment, his face turned serious, "He is a professor in our school. Because of his improper thoughts, he was sent to the countryside for labor reform."
