Chapter 190 I'm free anyway
Although Lin Guoqing is the section chief, he still doesn't want to miss this only opportunity that comes to him.
He has been sitting here dozing off for several months. Finally, someone comes to chat with him. Even the factory director tries hard to keep him here!
Lin Guoqing: ...
"If you want me to pay tuition, you have to make sure that you can teach me something, right? Otherwise, this..." There are no students, no proper classroom, not even a blackboard. The teacher looks younger than him. Two dollars is still money!
Speaking of this, Hu Liming felt that he was fine again and patted his chest.
"Eighteen generations of my ancestors were all masters!"
Lin Guoqing: "...Then your ancestors weren't very good at studying. In eighteen generations, not a single one passed the imperial examination?"
However, as a family of legal advisors, this can really be considered a family tradition, no wonder they dare to practice the art of speaking.
"! How come there are no Juren?! Isn't that because there are more teachers? That's why I cited them as examples! At least everyone is educated! My great-grandfather was once invited by a high-ranking official to travel to the capital to serve as an aide to Lord Beile!"
Lin Guoqing: "And then the Qing Dynasty fell?"
Hu Limin: ...He's saying this as if it was his great-grandfather who brought down the Qing Dynasty. If his great-grandfather had that kind of ability, he'd probably be drinking wine and enjoying the corruption of capitalism in America right now!
"Tsk! What you said is true! You really need to come to class!" The great grandfather's glory could not be described any further, so Hu Limin changed someone else's example.
"Does Hu Xueyan know?"
"What's wrong? Is it your relative again?" They all have the surname Hu.
"He is my grandfather's uncle, fifth degree of kinship! He is also my great-great-grandfather!"
Five... Lin Guoqing was speechless, not knowing what expression to use to reply to him.
"Your grandfather is his relative within five generations, and you are already eight generations away, okay?"
"Then we are all descendants of the Hu family!"
"...I remember he didn't seem to be from our province..."
"! I'm already eight generations old! I'm not allowed to marry back and forth! Are you listening or not?"
"Listen, listen, keep talking!"
"Look! Our Hu family is a family that produced both legal advisors and the richest man in the late Qing Dynasty. To do all of these things, you need to be able to speak! You have to be able to speak! You have to speak with art! My family has this gene! Of course I can open a class and teach!"
Lin Guoqing was silent for a while, "So what is your grandfather doing?"
"An eighth-level worker who retired honorably from the silk weaving factory!"
Oh, this is awesome.
"What about your dad?"
"Cotton mill workshop director!"
Not bad, it seems he is another kid from a wealthy family.
"What about you?"
Hu Limin: "...didn't I just say that the silk factory's supply and marketing department..."
"Section Chief?"
"...clerk."
Lin Guoqing glanced at him sideways, which made Hu Limin feel a little embarrassed.
"Why? Are you looking down on me? Do you know how big our silk weaving factory is? How much profit does it generate for the country every year? The combined profits of your village-run enterprises in a year might not even be as much as ours in half a year. Even though you're a section chief, your salary might not even be as high as mine!"
I work in foreign trade! Do you understand foreign trade? I earn US dollars! I earn foreign exchange!
Tsk, look how hastily you say this, where has the art of speaking gone?
"Why should I, a peasant, look down on you, a descendant of a noble family? I just want to say, don't you think that each generation in your family..." Each generation is worse than the previous one?
Hu Liming was also choked. He couldn't think of a rebuttal for a long time. Finally, he sat back in his chair in anger and started to feel for a cigarette in his pocket.
"I'm not that good at this. I applied to teach just to kill time. If you want to, take it. If not, forget it!"
Now it was Lin Guoqing's turn to be unhappy, "No! Let me do it!"
As he said this, he pulled a chair over, straddled it, hugged the back of the chair, sat opposite Hu Liming, and took out two dollars from his pocket.
"To put it bluntly, we're both in sales. Even though we're not in the same industry, we do need to learn how to communicate. Let's share our knowledge and experience. Who knows, maybe one day you'll advance to the position of section chief in your state-owned factory, and I'll rush right up to become the factory director!"
These words were purely soothing, but Hu Limin didn't care. His hand, which was reaching for a cigarette, must have stopped mid-air. He just stared blankly at the two yuan, his face full of disbelief. "Are you really going to sign up for the class?"
"Yeah, you're teaching a class, aren't you?" Lin Guoqing pushed over two yuan. "I'm free anyway, and I don't really want to take other classes. If I have to sign up, I'd rather take your course on the art of speaking."
Hu Liming was stunned for a moment, then pushed the two dollars back, his expression becoming a little embarrassed.
"I'll sign you up later, and I won't charge you any money... I'm just here to kill time, and if there are two or three students sitting opposite each other, it would be more decent to charge tuition.
Now it’s just the two of us, and with the money you gave me, I feel like a beggar…”
Lin Guoqing sighed, "Who would give two yuan to a beggar? He's from a wealthy family!"
As soon as these words came out, the two of them laughed. Hu Limin coughed and laughed, "Alright, alright, the Qing Dynasty has been gone for many years. Now it's a new society. What a bullshit child of aristocratic family, stop making fun of me!"
…
Finally, the two of them leaned against the window and smoked together. Lin Guoqing asked him how bored he must be to run away and start class through the back door.
As a result, Hu Liming said that he was not bored, but he just didn't want to take care of the children at home, so he ran out to get some peace and quiet.
This made Lin Guoqing stunned, "Don't want to take care of the child?"
Hu Limin nodded, then began to complain, "My wife and I responded to the national call to marry and have children later. We only got the fertility quota a few years ago. My wife gave birth to twins. They were really cute at first, but once they turned two, they became extremely naughty and wanted to climb onto the roof and tear down the house.
And maybe because they are boys, they are particularly attached to me. If I am at home, they will definitely ask me to play with them.
You don't know how painful it is to play with children. Their energy seems to be endless. If you don't do what they want, they will start screaming and crying wildly. You can't force them to lie down and rest for a while. It's useless to beat or scold such a young child.
It's tiring to deal with just one person like this, let alone two of them in our family! I just hid myself away!"
Lin Guoqing did not agree with it after hearing it, but frowned and looked at Hu Limin in disapproval.
"What about your wife?"
"ah?"
"You came out to get some peace and quiet, but isn't your wife tired of taking care of two children alone? The child doesn't have your surname? Could it be that she gave birth to the child alone? You're shirking responsibility and avoiding responsibility!"
Lin Guoqing rattled off a stream of words, "Besides, if you can earn money at night school, it's fine. At least you're contributing to the family.
Haven't you been here for almost half a year? And I'm your only student? That's like not earning a penny, and yet you're asking your wife to work twice as hard. How can you be so wicked!
Hu Limin was bewildered after being scolded.
Isn't raising children a woman's job? Why did Lin Guoqing make it sound like he had committed a crime?
