"Student Yang Jing, your defense was brilliant. It's clear that you've put a lot of effort into your major. I believe your hard work will be rewarded. However, your results will not be announced now. You will be notified in writing in one week." In a conference room specially set aside for doctoral dissertation defenses, six or seven white-haired professors sat at the top, while Yang Jing sat at the bottom. Second Master Xiao Zhenguo, who was sitting in the middle, said to Yang Jing with a satisfied look on his face.
"Thank you Professor Xiao, thank you Professor Liu, thank you Professor Li..." Yang Jing stood up and thanked them one by one, then bowed to the professors and turned around and walked out of the meeting room.
Seeing Yang Jing disappear outside the door, Professor Liu, who was sitting next to Old Xiao, said with a smile: "Old Xiao, you have accepted a good disciple. This disciple of yours will definitely be able to inherit your legacy in the future."
Old Xiao said with an irrepressible smile on his face: "Well, the four of us adopted this child together. But now it seems that this child has not disappointed us."
Professor Li, who was sitting on the other side of Mr. Xiao, also smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao, I heard that your disciple has a lot of good things. When will you take us over to have a look? Mr. Liu and Mr. Zhao can't wait any longer."
Several old professors who participated in the thesis defense nodded one after another. One old professor who looked older than Mr. Xiao said, "Old Li is right. Old Liu and I have long wanted to see the treasures hidden by your disciple. I heard from the old guys in the Palace Museum that they are very envious of the treasures that your disciple has obtained."
Another professor said, "Old Xiao, let's not talk about anything else first. You have to show us the painting Along the River During the Qingming Festival..."
Several old professors were stunned for a moment, and then began to nod frantically.
Old Xiao laughed and said, "How difficult is that? As long as you old guys let my apprentice pass the thesis defense, I will naturally take you to see the good things collected by my apprentice. Do you want to see "Along the River During the Qingming Festival"? Do you want to see Michelangelo's original bronze "David" sculpture? Do you want to see Leonardo da Vinci's original "Rida and the Swan"? Do you want to see the original manuscript of Tolstoy's "War and Peace"? Do you want to see the manuscript of Shakespeare's "Hamlet" script? And..."
Professor Li, who was beside Mr. Xiao, immediately raised his hands in surrender and said, "Old Xiao, can you please be quiet? You'll get beaten if you say that."
Several old professors nodded together, but also laughed at the same time.
Old Master Xiao said with a smile: "I don't care what you think. Anyway, if my apprentice can't pass this test, I won't take you to see the treasures in his collection. Let me tell you, the treasures collected by my apprentice also include..."
Professor Zhao, who is older than Mr. Xiao, quickly waved his hand to stop him, saying, "Okay! Mr. Xiao, if you continue to show off like this, we won't stand it anymore..."
Several old professors burst into laughter again.
In early June 2020, the weather in Yanjing was extremely hot. There was still a month and a half before the beginning of the dog days, but Yanjing was like a fire everywhere. Especially at noon, the sun hanging in the sky could really be called scorching!
Yang Jing, who was driving out of the school, even saw a mirage on the asphalt road ahead, and everything looked crooked.
After parking the car in an open space near the school gate, Yang Jing picked up the phone and called Gege. Coincidentally, their thesis defenses were held on the same day. Yang Jing estimated that Gege's defense would be over by now, so he wanted to ask about the situation.
The phone was picked up after two rings.
"Wife, how did your defense go?"
"Hehe, guess."
"Haha, from your tone, I don't have to guess, it must be very good, right?"
"Of course I'm telling you. Don't you see who I am? By the way, Yang Jing, how did your defense go?"
"Hey, guess what..."
"Hubby, let's have a big dinner tonight to celebrate!"
......
In the evening, the temperature in Yanjing dropped a lot. After all, it was not the dog days yet, and the temperature in Yanjing in the morning and evening was still within the acceptable range for people.
When they returned to the apartment for lunch at noon, Yang Jing asked Gege what she wanted to eat in the evening. Yang Jing talked about everything from Japanese food to Western food to Jianghuai cuisine, but the girl was not satisfied with any of them. Finally, the girl said what she wanted to eat the most, which almost made Yang Jing's jaw drop.
"Honey, shall we go out for a barbecue tonight? It would be even better if we could have some fried stinky tofu..."
Looking at his fiancée's expectant look, Yang Jing was surprised but also happy.
Isn't it just skewers? How difficult is that? Although Yanjing banned open-air barbecues within the Second Ring Road a few years ago, it is not difficult to find a place to eat skewers now. This is Yanjing, the city with the most foodies in China. If there were no skewers here, Yang Jing couldn't imagine what the scene would be like.
So Yang Jing started making phone calls. His first call was naturally to Wang Jiazan, asking where in Yanjing he could find the best barbecue.
Wang Jiazan was not a local foodie. When he heard about eating skewers, he immediately told Yang Jing a few places. After choosing, Yang Jing and Gege decided to have a big meal at the Wooden House BBQ Guozhan Restaurant, which was closest to the apartment.
CAFA is outside North Fourth Ring Road East, so in order to take care of Gege, the two bought an apartment in Huajiadi community outside the east gate of CAFA.
