The Old Headmaster
Li Sansheng felt that his world and life were basically the same as everyone he met on the street. There were not many shocking stories and great vicissitudes, nor did he meet any noble or important people. It was probably better for ordinary people to live their first 20 years in peace than for ordinary people. It was more bitter.
Li Sansheng felt that he had never seen any big shots since he was young. If he were to exclude those people he met at Qinling College, the biggest person he had seen was when he was in junior high school in a small town. When the county head wanted to visit the junior high school founded by General Yang Hucheng, he met the county head and a large group of people who followed the county head to the school. Anyway, at that time, the older children did not know what was what. He only knew that in the cold winter weather that could freeze people's ears and hands, he and those kids in his class who thought Mr. Jiang's words were basically imperial edicts and guiding lamps stood in the bone-chilling cold weather with plastic flowers in their hands. They were so cold that their noses were running to nowhere. They were waiting for the big shot who was destined to be the supreme figure in their childhood, who could eliminate the violent and protect the country. The county head, who was able to make decisions for the people, was honest and fair for a full two hours. He was afraid that the teacher would think that he was a bad child who did not know any better. Those girls who were regarded as the motherland by everyone did not dare to speak or move. Li Sansheng remembered that in the end, there was a student in his class who could not stand the cold and cried. It seemed to be a girl. However, the teacher and the director of the school's education office gave her a sharp gaze, scaring the girl so much that she instantly stopped crying. As if he had encountered some kind of monster, Li Sansheng still remembered the director of the Education Bureau, who had a standard middle-parted traitor's head that could only be found in the Anti-Japanese War. He was nearly 1.8 meters tall, but he made the traitor's head look down on him. However, in the world of those 15 or 16-year-old children, this famous traitor's head who could be cursed with all kinds of words was more shameless and shameless than any villain in any novel.
Finally, the arrogant county head who was driven by a Volkswagen Santana arrived. When the county head arrived at the school gate, he saw so many people waiting for him. There were also many children who saw him as the future life coordinate. His image suddenly became much taller. It was as if the national leader was inspecting the troops. When the county head who was talking nonsense just came down and was about to wave to his comrades, he was already surrounded by the leaders in the school. It was unknown whether it was the principal or the vice-principal who held her hand tightly.
The teachers who couldn't participate in the event could only envy the leaders for shaking hands with the county head, who had a very high and mighty image. They could only sigh at their low status, but they still didn't let go of this opportunity. In order to attract the attention of the county head, the teachers let the students who seemed like soy sauce shout loudly, welcome, welcome, warm welcome. Their hands shook the frozen plastic flowers with all their might, and they didn't stop.
Li Sansheng still remembered the time when he and the other students in the class had always regarded causing trouble as their main job to add fun to the school, while studying had become a side job. Therefore, he shouted loudly in the midst of the noisy crowd,"Get lost, get lost! Hurry up and get lost!"
When the teachers realized that something was wrong, they turned around and smiled innocently. They continued to shout, welcome, welcome, a warm welcome.
At that time, Li Sansheng thought that if he returned to this school one day, he would be able to make those landlords who had once oppressed him treat him like how they had humbly and hypocritically flattered the county magistrate at that time. Then, he would be very arrogant and refuse to shake hands with them. What kind of scene would that be?
It was only when he arrived at Qinling College and met the big shots that he could only hear about on television, newspapers, and novels that he realized how cute he was at that time. What was even more certain was that the more inconspicuous the person, the more they wanted to make him stand out. However, no matter how low-key the truly dazzling person was, he would always be noticed and could not be ignored.
When Li Sansheng saw the old principal, his first reaction was to wonder how high an official the old principal was. It was not why the old principal had come to the student affairs office. Li Sansheng's brain immediately searched for memories of the old principal. It seemed that the old principal's most glorious time was when he was the principal of Jiao Tong University. If he were to follow the unified saying that the university system and the administrative system were linked, then the old principal was also a high-ranking official at the ministry level back then. There were only so many people in all the universities in China.
The old principal was supported by a middle-aged man into the office of the student affairs department. He staggered and his hair was white, but he was still energetic and his eyes were still full of energy. The frightened Director of the student affairs department, Wang Li, and the beautiful counselor, Li Mengqi, who was reprimanding Li Sansheng just now, helped the glorious old principal to the sofa in the office.
At this moment, Li Sansheng felt that the old principal seemed to be looking for him. However, Li Sansheng could not think of any connection between him and the old principal. Li Sansheng asked all his ancestors, but he still could not find any reason for the old principal to be related to him. If the old principal had not been staring at him from the moment he entered, Li Sansheng would never believe that the old principal was here to see him.
" Ma Ke, you go out with Wang Li and Li. I'll talk to Yu Zhi for a while." The old principal waved his hand and said to the middle-aged man who was supporting him. Although his voice was not loud, it was very deep. Perhaps it was because he had been in the position for a long time. Li Sansheng always felt that the old principal had a natural sense of respect and reverence. This might be the environment that the old man had lived in for most of his life. As a teacher, he put people first.
"Sansheng, are you wondering why an old man like me would come here so late at night?" The old principal smiled. He looked at Li Sansheng more like he was looking at his own student, very kind and amiable.
Li Sansheng felt that there was no distance between him and the old principal. It was more like chatting with the old man next door. It was very ordinary and practical. He smiled and said,"Nothing is better than the old principal."
" You little brat, are you trying to play dumb with me? Don't call me old principal anymore. Just call me Grandpa Sun," the old principal scolded with a smile.
Li Sansheng didn't try to push the matter away anymore. He nodded and called out,"Grandpa Sun."
"I heard that you are very skilled in Go, Chinese chess, and the zither?”The old principal asked meaningfully. At the same time, he sized up Li Sansheng's reaction like an old fox.
"How did Grandpa Sun know?" Li Sansheng thought that since the old principal could say so, he already knew his background. If he denied it or not, it would be a little embarrassing.
From the beginning until now, Li Sansheng was still standing like a child who had done something wrong. The old principal, on the other hand, was like an old fox who was sitting and sizing up Li Sansheng.
" Hehe, you're young and mature. You're flexible and have a good grasp of the situation. Li Sansheng, you're still pretending to be me. If Old Zhao hadn't revealed your background to me, I would have really been deceived by you," the old principal stood up and said angrily when he saw Li Sansheng's temper suddenly change.
Li Sansheng was confused by the old principal's play. However, the information revealed by the old principal's words finally let Li Sansheng know what was going on with this inexplicable encounter. Li Sansheng felt that if he guessed correctly, it definitely had something to do with the old fox at the foot of Qinling Mountain, because the route from the beginning to the end pointed to that old man.
"Got it." The old principal saw that Li Sansheng didn't say anything and only nodded. He had already guessed that Li Sansheng had guessed the ins and outs of the matter.
" This old fellow, he couldn't even beat me in a single game of chess in the three years he was in Qinling College. He actually tricked me again here. I'll kill him when I get back." Li Sansheng no longer concealed his feelings. He sat on the chair, drank a mouthful of water, and cursed.
" Hahaha, if I were Old Zhao, I would definitely introduce my granddaughter to you as a girlfriend. It's just that she's not by my side," the old principal said when he saw the childish Li Sansheng jumping up and down and cursing.
Li Sansheng had no choice but to run around and still failed to avoid the old man's demonic claws at the foot of the Qinling Mountains. Now, there was another divine deer from Bailu Plateau. It seemed that his future life was destined to be squeezed. He could only sigh that he had met a bad person.
"If it weren't for Old Zhao, I really wouldn't believe that a person who could easily pull down the second place by 50 points in Qinling College, a school that produces geniuses, would actually come to this private undergraduate college. This is too unbelievable. Li Yuzhi, can you tell this old man, why did you choose to come here when you could have gone to Tsinghua University, Peking University, Nanjing University, Zhejiang University, Jiao Tong University, or Fudan University?”The old principal seemed to be interested in Li Sansheng and was looking forward to Li Sansheng's answer.
Li Sansheng smiled bitterly and looked at the prayer beads in his right hand with a self-deprecating look. He seemed to have seen through the desolation of life and said indifferently," Perhaps Yuzhi is a person without much ambition and ideals. He only hopes to spend his years in university in a place far away from the bustling crowd."
Hearing Li Sansheng's answer, the old principal shook his head in disappointment. It was obvious that Li Sansheng was not telling the truth. It made sense. The old principal laughed at himself. He was already so old and had a calm mind, but he was still a little impatient. Such a person needed a gentle fire to burn slowly. Being too hard would only backfire.
" If you have the time, you can find an old man like me to play a few games of chess. I don't think I can beat you. Just consider it as a practice for you. In the future, you can tell others who your defeated opponents are." The old principal smiled a little relieved.
" Grandpa Sun, you're exaggerating a little. I'm just taking the unconventional path." Li Sansheng smiled modestly.
The old principal only nodded and A Soft Smile didn't say anything else.
Li Sansheng was slightly touched when he saw that this old man who was famous all over the world treated him like his own grandson. At least he had the same thoughts as that old man, hoping that he would one day amaze the world with a single feat.
Everyone wanted to be independent, but no one in this society could really be independent, let alone himself.
" I heard from Ma Ke that you had a fight with your classmate." The old principal remembered the purpose of this trip. He had been secretly observing Li Sansheng. If it weren't for today's incident, the old principal would have continued to observe. The old principal really wanted to see how valiant this young man who had always been unconventional and hadn't met such a person for many years was.
From the diligent, conscientious, unremarkable, and ordinary freshmen who had a three-point-and-one-line routine, he was now almost a two-point-and-one-line powerhouse. He shuttled back and forth between Jiao Tong University and the school every day, and spent most of his time in the library. It seemed that he had even heard that this kid had a piano battle with a girl in Jiao Tong University. He was still young.
Li Sansheng nodded. He did not deny or explain.
" I don't want to explain." However, the old principal gave him a chance to explain.
" What he did was done. There's no reason for him to be punished." Li Sansheng shook his head and said. He didn't want the old principal to use his power to absolve him.
"Hehe, you really have a stubborn temper. It seems that Old Zhao said that you are quite slick. It seems that I was almost fooled by you again. You are setting a trap for me to get into it. Li Sansheng, Li Sansheng, you even schemed against an old man like me."
Li Sansheng was silent. He could only sigh bitterly that an old fox was an old fox. He was not someone that ordinary people could defeat.
"Alright, Old Zhao, what else can I do to you? Even if you hit the teacher today, I have to protect you. It's just a student, and no one died. Be careful in the future."
After the old principal left, Li Mengqi and Wang Li looked at Li Sansheng as if they were looking at someone else. It was as if the person just now was not Li Sansheng. Li Mengqi did not have any special intimate actions towards Li Sansheng, but Li Sansheng could feel the change in Li Mengqi. Humans were ultimately self-serving animals.
Li Mengqi said that she shouldn't make such a mistake in the future. Then, she took her bag and left the student office.
After Li Mengqi left, Wang Li, who was Li Sansheng's brother, patted Li Sansheng and said with a smile," Good job, kid. You didn't even tell me that you know the old principal. Are you trying to harm me?"
" Brother Wang, what are you saying? This is too embarrassing." Li Sansheng didn't deny that he had a relationship with the former principal. This kind of false truth could be used to make things smoother in school in the future.
" Alright, I'll handle this matter myself. It's none of your business. Otherwise, I won't be able to answer to the old principal," Wang Li promised Li Sansheng. Li Sansheng thanked Wang Li for his nonsense, and the two of them exchanged a few more pleasantries.
Li Sansheng felt that life was really bloody. He dashed out of the student affairs office and prepared to go back to the dormitory to have a good sleep so that he would have the energy to harass Liu Yiran at Jiao Tong University tomorrow.
