The bell rang and Xu Manman took a deep breath before entering the classroom.
With her head held high and her chest puffed out, she walked up to the podium step by step, her lambskin high heels making crisp sounds.
Looking at the more than fifty students sitting in the classroom below, Xu Manman raised the corner of her mouth and opened the roster.
"Hello everyone, nice to meet you. My name is Xu Manman, you can call me Teacher Xu. I will be teaching you the course on international finance. To help you get acquainted more quickly, I'll start by calling the roll..."
Some students who were quick to react had already found the textbooks, and the author of the translation and compilation was this young doctor who had just returned to China and was also the youngest female professor at Peking University and Tsinghua University.
The stylish and beautiful female professor was teaching for the first time, so there was still a certain gap between her and everyone. Fortunately, most of the students who were admitted to Peking University and Tsinghua University were good students who studied hard, and there were no naughty students. There were even few who fell asleep or were distracted in class.
After the initial shock, I was quickly drawn into the course by Xu Manman's gentle and clear voice. Although the teaching materials were compiled and edited by Xu Manman, she did not read from the book. In the process of teaching, she also extended some specific cases.
The students listened with great interest. As the teacher, she also forgot her initial nervousness and her teaching state entered a good state.
After the two classes, Xu Manman packed up her lesson plans, and a few brave students came forward to say goodbye to her.
Xu Manman agreed to all the requests, and the smile on her face never faded until she reached the courtyard of Tsinghua and Peking University.
"Did Manman have a good class today?" Xiao Jin was most concerned about Xu Manman's condition.
"Well, the students are all very nice." Facing those eyes eager for knowledge, she always wanted to say more and tell them everything she knew.
"That's good. Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something first? It will probably be very late when we go back to eat after Brother Ming and the others are done."
Chen Ming and his classmates basically spend their time in the laboratory when they are not in class. Overtime is the norm, and their working hours are irregular every day.
Xu Manman shook her head. "I won't eat here. I told my parents I'd go home for dinner. I'll just sit for a while and then go back."
She also didn't plan to wait for Chen Ming and Xu Jianguo. They were both adults and working, so there was no need for them to accompany each other all day long. It was time for them to have their own independent lives.
But before Xu Manman left, she still tried the fried salt and pepper king oyster mushrooms, crispy chicken legs, and tiger skin chicken feet that Jin Zichu had just made. They were fresh out of the oven, with that overbearing aroma of oil, and paired with the bubbling iced lemon soda, who could refuse?
Fortunately, she remembered to go home for dinner and didn't really fill herself up. The main reason was that Xiao Jin just wanted her to fill the stomach and didn't give her too much.
After taking a hawthorn pill and riding a bike for half an hour to get home, Xu Manman had almost digested the snack.
Because of work, my uncle's family usually lives in the main courtyard, so only the second branch's family is left in the Xu family's courtyard. Xu Jianguo is not at home, so only Xu Gang and his wife and Xu Manman have dinner.
Although they have been in Beijing for two or three years, Xu Gang and his friends' eating habits remain the same as when they were in Hai City. They eat more rice than noodles, and most of them are light dishes.
Dinner was rice porridge, one bowl for each person, with some side dishes on the table. If Xu Manman was completely hungry, it might not be enough, but for Xu Manman who had filled her stomach with Jin Zichu's, it was just right.
The Xu family has never had any rules about not talking while eating or sleeping. The conversation at the table was all about the new things Xu Manman encountered in class today.
Xu Manman poured the last bit of soup in the bowl into her mouth, thought about it, and decided to give her parents a shot of prevention.
"Dad, Mom, what do you think of Zichu?"
Chen Meiyu and Xu Gang exchanged a glance, their expressions expressionless. Chen Meiyu then spoke, "Zichu is quite good. I've watched him over the years, and he's impeccable in his conduct and work. He helps with many things at home that I can't take care of."
Xu Manman didn't dare to look up, and asked bravely, "So what do you think about him becoming your son-in-law?"
Chen Meiyu put the bowl down with a thud, which scared Xu Manman. She looked up at her mother, only to see Chen Meiyu's face full of joy.
"I knew it, Nannan, are you and Zichu dating???"
Facing her mother's expectant eyes, Xu Manman scratched her head, "Not yet... not yet. Didn't I come back to ask for your opinions?"
