Chapter 271 An All-Round Role Model
Chapter 271 An All-Round Role Model
The middle-aged woman's smile was restrained and distant.
"Teacher Wen, I'm Xiao Nan's mother. I heard Nan Nan often talk about you at home, saying that you are her idol, so I wanted to meet you."
Wen Xin looked at the scrutiny in her eyes, smiled politely and asked her to sit down.
It is really rare for university teachers to receive parents. But considering Xiao Nan's description of her mother, it is not so strange.
"Teacher Wen, where are you from? Judging from your accent, you are not from Beijing."
"Oh, I'm from Lin Province and grew up in a small county town."
Xiao Nan's mother's look of scrutiny was even more intense:
"It must have been difficult for you to come this far. From a small county town to the capital, the environment is very different."
Wen Xin smiled and said, "It's okay. Everything will work out smoothly."
"I heard from Nan Nan that you also write online novels, which is inconsistent with your identity as a university teacher. Online novels really lower your status."
Wen Xin frowned.
Xiao Nan’s mother is indeed different from others.
"It seems that you have a deep prejudice against online novels."
Xiao Nan's mother looked at Wen Xin with a serious face, extremely serious.
"Teacher Wen, I think as a university teacher, you really have the responsibility to guide the thinking trends and appreciation levels of college students."
"As a student majoring in Chinese at Peking University, Nan Nan actually admires some online literature and martial arts novels. I think this is a regression, or even a degradation for her."
Wen Xin quietly looked at the woman who spoke in a serious manner.
In those eyes that have begun to age, there is full of seriousness and seriousness.
She suddenly understood why Xiao Nan was determined not to expose herself.
This mother is extremely stubborn and self-righteous.
When acting and speaking, he only considers himself, and does not care whether what he says will cause trouble or harm to others.
Or rather, she couldn't think of that.
She is only responsible for expressing her personal opinions and has a sense of mission, feeling that she is extremely great and correct.
Wen Xin smiled slightly, looking calm:
"Mother Xiao Nan, we at Peking University have always attached great importance to the ideological trends and appreciation levels of students you mentioned. Letting a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend has always been our tradition at Peking University."
"The martial arts novel you are talking about is written by Master Jin Yong, right? Have you checked it out with Xiao Nan? It is a research course offered by a professor in the Chinese Department of our Peking University. Master Jin is an honorary professor of Peking University."
Xiao Nan's mother nodded in understanding:
"So that's how it is. Why doesn't Xiao Nan tell me anything? She just listens to whatever I say, but she's been doing this for a long time."
Hearing this, he was overwhelmed.
Which mother can make such a conclusion about her own child in front of the teacher so casually?
It can be seen that in the eyes of this mother, the child is just an accessory in her hands and has never been given equal respect.
"Xiao Nan's mother, your children are already adults. They have their own judgment. You should give them full trust. Xiao Nan is very good. You can really let go appropriately."
Even though this mother made Wen Xin want to run away, she still patiently talked to her.
For Xiao Nan, and for the profession of teacher.
"Let go? How can I let go? Teacher Wen, do you know? Xiao Nan is actually in love."
Xiao Nan's mother suddenly became furious.
"I went to school to look for her on the 31st, and my classmates said she went out to play. She didn't come back until the middle of the night, holding hands with a boy. It was really too much."
Wen Xin shook his head:
"I don't have much communication with Xiao Nan, so I don't know about her situation. But isn't it normal for a child of this age to fall in love?"
"Normal? How old is she? She's still a student. She should focus on her studies. Besides, she's so young, how can she understand love? What if she meets the wrong person? What will we do?"
Wen Xin sighed inwardly.
The child travels thousands of miles and the mother is worried.
She is also a mother and understands the concerns and worries a mother has for her children.
But if you deny it without any trust and stubbornly try to control everything in your own hands, it would be too much.
Seeing Wen Xin remained silent, Xiao Nan's mother couldn't help but ask.
"Teacher Wen, I heard that your husband is successful in his career. When did you two start dating?"
Wen Xin suddenly realized that she wanted to find a role model in herself so that she could share her experience with Xiao Nan.
Too bad she was going to be disappointed.
Wen Xin pulled the corner of his mouth slightly: "We were high school classmates, started dating in college, and got married when I was studying for my doctorate."
"No wonder Xiao Nan is so eager to fall in love. It seems that Teacher Wen, your idol really sets an all-round role model."
Xiao Nan's mother's face began to show blame again.
Wen Xin felt that his patience was exhausted, his face was cold:
"I'm not an idol. I'm just an ordinary teacher. But if my husband and I can set a good example of marriage for our children, I'd feel very satisfied."
Xiao Nan's mother's habit of refuting made her open her mouth to speak, but she found she had no way to refute.
Flying together...
Is Teacher Wen satirizing his unhappy marriage?
……
Watching Xiao Nan's mother leave in depression, Wen Xin shook his head speechlessly.
In fact, it is not uncommon for parents to have such a strong desire for control.
At that time, there was a section chief named Zhang in the dormitory of the electrical appliance factory in Yuncheng. His wife was this type of person and she wanted to control everything about the children.
Even though he himself is uneducated, he still insists on guiding his son to study.
Her son was obviously very talented and his ambition was to go to Haicheng Jiaotong University, but she insisted that Haicheng was too far away and cried bitterly, forcing him to take the entrance exam to a university in the provincial capital.
After graduation, my son could have stayed in the provincial capital to work, but that didn't work, so he was forced to return to Anshi.
Later, she wanted to interfere in her son's marriage, but her son resisted and married the person he loved.
Then, the mother-in-law came to the house in person, and after three years of unremitting efforts, she single-handedly caused her son and daughter-in-law to divorce.
The next news I heard was that my son has been single and has not found another girlfriend.
I don’t know whether Section Chief Zhang’s wife is satisfied with this result.
Xiao Nan's mother is actually somewhat different from Section Chief Zhang's wife.
This kind of cultured and thoughtful person who can control every smallest detail will be more suffocating.
......
The next day, Xiao Nan came to see Wen Xin.
Looking at Xiao Nan's haggard face, Wen Xin felt a little distressed.
This painful shackles of family affection are unavoidable and there is nowhere to escape. It is indeed painful and helpless.
"Teacher Wen, I'm sorry, I didn't know my mother would come to see you. From now on, I will never talk to her about anything around me again."
As Xiao Nan spoke, tears began to well up in her eyes.
Wen Xin sighed and handed her a tissue.
"Xiao Nan, I'm fine. Don't be too sad. You will grow up and live your own life."
Xiao Nan nodded slightly: "I have always been looking forward to the day when I truly grow up."
Wen Xin looked at the determination in her eyes and nodded with satisfaction.
"You are already a junior, do you have any thoughts about your future?"
Suddenly, infinite yearning rose in Xiao Nan's eyes.
"Teacher Wen, I've made up my mind. I want to apply for a master's degree in media in Eagle Country."
Wen Xin nodded.
It was almost as she expected. Studying abroad to learn the major she liked and staying away from the shackles of pain was indeed a good idea.
"Have you told your boyfriend about this plan? Does anyone know about it?"
Xiao Nan looked up in surprise.
"Teacher Wen..."
