Become a burden in a period novel

Chapter 511 Making Friends Over Tea (2)

The private room wasn't very convenient, so after pouring him some water, Qin Wangshu and he moved to a small table outside to chat.

"You're a professor at Peking University, you're really young and promising!" He wouldn't underestimate anyone, but he was also surprised by the identity of the young woman opposite him.

"It's just a matter of chance." Qin Wangshu didn't think she was any better than other teachers. She used to be just an ordinary college student. If it weren't for this special era, she probably wouldn't have been able to become a teacher at Peking University.

“That’s your own opportunity.” He had a good impression of the young woman in front of him, and his impression improved even more after learning about her profession.

It's a pity she's already married, and her husband seems quite outstanding. Otherwise, he really wanted to introduce her to his son.

Thinking of his eldest son, who caused him so much worry, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Qin Wangshu had also learned about the identity of the person in front of her during their conversation. He was also a university teacher, but not from China, but from abroad.

Now that the country is open, many overseas Chinese have returned, and he is one of them.

He returned to find his family. He had been taken away from his homeland by his father when he was young and had never returned. Both he and his father missed their homeland dearly. His fondness for tea was a habit he developed while living abroad.

He has a completely Chinese palate; he can't stand coffee or black tea with milk and sugar. He only likes plain tea, and over the years he has collected a lot of tea leaves. This time, when he came back to visit his relatives, he also thought of buying some tea leaves from his hometown to take back with him.

His father was getting old and couldn't withstand the arduous journey, but he could never forget the aroma of tea from his hometown. Unfortunately, when he returned this time, most of the tea gardens in his hometown were abandoned.

But he never expected to encounter such fine tea on the train to Beijing.

"Are you leaving again after you come back this time?" Qin Wangshu asked.

“Yes, I need to be there for my father. He’s getting old, and I have to stay by his side.” His father is almost 80 now, and his health hasn’t been very good these past two years, which worries him a lot.

"When we get to the capital, I'll pack some tea for you to take back with you. But I don't have much tea myself, so I can't give you too much." Qin Wangshu had just learned that this gentleman's father was also a tea lover.

He came back this time hoping to bring some tea from his hometown, but unfortunately, the tea from his hometown wasn't famous. Many tea gardens had been abandoned in recent years, and the tea trees in his hometown had been cut down.

"I'm already very grateful that you shared it with me!" he said, deeply thankful.

"Do you have a place to stay in Beijing? If it's nearby, you can come to our house for a meal. My mother is a very good cook." People who can become university teachers abroad are all truly talented. Although he will be returning soon, Qin Wangshu still wants to befriend him.

"If it's not too much trouble!" Qin Wangshu agreed to share some tea with him, and he was a little unsure how to repay her. Qin Wangshu and the others didn't seem to be short of money, and although Qin Wangshu didn't seem to care much about the tea, he had tasted it and knew its quality. He just didn't know how he could help her.

"It's no trouble at all," Qin Wangshu smiled. "But if you have time, you can give a lecture to my students and let them experience the style of a foreign professor."

At this time, many people want to go abroad, especially recently. Qin Wangshu felt that many of her students had the idea of ​​going abroad. She happened to meet this foreign professor and asked him to tell these students about life abroad.

Qin Wangshu knew that many people who went abroad now regretted it, but many others were doing very well. She was just a teacher and couldn't choose their lives for them; she could only help them better understand their choices and the paths that lay ahead.
