"That's great, that's great!" Old Chu repeated it twice, his face filled with excitement that he couldn't control himself.
Su Qingyun asked hesitantly, "Teacher, is there any need for a ceremony to become a disciple?" She knew that many people attached great importance to the relationship between teachers and students and ceremonies.
"No need." Old Chu shook his head and said, "Now, everything should be simple." At this time, there is no need to stick to any form.
Although the apprenticeship ceremony was no longer necessary, the apprenticeship gift was still necessary. Old Chu thought about what gift he could give to Su Qingyun. He said, "I have a few mathematics manuscripts at home that I have written over the years. Next time I will bring them to you. Just consider them as a gift from your teacher."
Mathematical manuscripts? Not to mention Su Qingyun, even Ji Yue was a little jealous.
"That's great, thank you teacher!" Su Qingyun was overjoyed when he heard the four words "mathematical manuscript", and the word "teacher" became more and more fluent.
She wondered in her heart whether she should also prepare a gift for her teacher. In ancient times, one had to prepare a tuition fee for the master when becoming his disciple.
After the excitement, Mr. Chu began to think seriously about how to teach Su Qingyun. This child is too talented, and he must develop a learning plan suitable for her so as not to bury her talent.
"Qingyun, I remember you live in Luoshui Village, right?" Old Chu said after a moment of hesitation.
"Yes, sir."
"Then, can you come to the library every weekend? Once a week during study time, and twice a week during holidays." This frequency of classes was already taken into consideration by Mr. Chu due to the long distance between Luoshui Village and the county seat, otherwise he would have wanted to teach her every day.
"Sure, teacher." Su Qingyun nodded obediently and agreed.
"Okay, that's settled then." A smile appeared on Old Chu's face.
Later, Mr. Chu personally found some books for Su Qingyun to take home and read. Su Qingyun took the books, and Mr. Chu took out a brand new question book like magic.
"Take it back and work on it, and bring it with you next time you come." Old Chu said with a smile. He stayed in this library where not many people came every day, and he had plenty of time to do his own things, such as thinking and making up questions.
Su Qingyun suddenly felt something heavy in her hands, not only the weight of the book, but also the teacher's expectations of her.
"Wait here for a while, I'll go out for a while." Not long after the two of them walked out of the library, Ji Yue suddenly remembered something and said to Su Qingyun.
What? Before Su Qingyun could react, Ji Yue had already rushed into the department store not far away. Not long after, he came back carrying large and small bags of things.
"What are you doing..." Su Qingyun widened his eyes slightly.
"I'm bringing it back for you and your uncle." Ji Yue said. His mother had specifically told him so before he came out.
Seeing Su Qingyun was about to refuse, Ji Yue said, "It's just a small gift, you are not allowed to refuse."
"I can't report to you if you don't take me back."
Looking at his serious face, Su Qingyun felt a little amused. It was the first time she had seen someone give a gift so domineeringly.
"Okay, I'll take it then." Su Qingyun smiled, "Go back and thank Auntie for me."
"Yeah." Ji Yue didn't give the things to her, but carried them himself.
When Su Qingyun and Ji Yue arrived at the county station to take the bus back, Su Aimin had been waiting for a while.
"Where is Uncle Nan?" Su Qingyun asked when she saw that only her father was there.
"Go back."
"Why did it take so long?" Su Aimin breathed a sigh of relief. If his daughter didn't come back, he would go to the library to look for her.
"I was delayed by something." Su Qingyun said.
"What's the matter?" Su Aimin asked puzzledly.
"Let's talk about it when we get back." Su Qingyun looked at the sky and saw that it was already late. "If we don't leave now, we will miss the last bus."
"Okay, let's go."
It gets dark early in winter now, and by the time the last bus shambles back into town, it is almost completely dark.
When Ji Yue handed the things in his hand to Su Aimin, Su Aimin was stunned for a moment. He thought these things were bought by Ji Yue to take home, but he didn't expect that they were return gifts for his own family.
"What is this for? No, no, you take it back yourself." Su Aimin refused three times in a row.
Ji Yue insisted on stuffing the bag into Su Aimin's hand, "Uncle Su, please accept it."
Su Qingyun watched without surprise as the two men tried to refuse. After a fierce struggle, Su Aimin finally gave in and reluctantly accepted the things.
She looked up at the sky, and wow, the moon was out.
The father and daughter were walking on their way home, their steps neither fast nor slow, not in a hurry to go back. Facing the moonlight as white as frost, the father and daughter were chatting casually.
"Dad, I'll be going to the county town every week from now on. If you want to sell goods, I'll go with you."
"Go once a week? What for?" Su Aimin wondered, "Is it fun to ride in the car?"
"Dad, what are you talking about?" Su Qingyun said helplessly, "I have a teacher today, and I have to go to the county town to attend classes every week."
"What the hell? Become a disciple?" Su Aimin stopped and said doubtfully, "Where will the teacher come from?" There are so many teachers in the town's middle school. Isn't his daughter getting enough lessons every day?
He only knows that learning a craft, such as carpentry or ironwork, requires a teacher. Does learning knowledge also require a teacher? Isn't that something that is learned in school?
"A very powerful teacher." Su Qingyun said mysteriously.
"Tell me the whole thing clearly." Su Aimin frowned. He was afraid that Su Qingyun had been cheated by someone.
Su Qingyun recounted the entire story in detail, and Su Aimin's eyes gradually widened.
"Teacher Chu is a mathematics professor from Beijing. He's very capable." Su Qingyun's tone was a little proud, as if he had received an honor.
