1979: Literary Master, Starting from the Return of Educated Youth

Chapter 216 The Soft Fairy Mom
"Yeah, you're familiar with this place, just take me there."

In Tianxianma's eyes, anyone who is willing to spend time to find waltz records must be an expert.

"What kind of records are you looking for?"

Xu Yuexin led Tianxianma along the roadside stalls and asked her, "Classical music or pop music?"

"Classical. I want to try choreography with classical music."

Tianxianma said.

"Okay, got it."

Xu Yuexin led Tianxianma further inside, passing by various stalls.

The vendors in Panjiayuan sell everything, including daily second-hand goods, old items, records, old books...

There are even people selling animal bones.

On the way in, Tianxianma's eyes were attracted by the various commodities and she was overwhelmed.

And when she saw a huge animal head on the stall next to her, she couldn't help but exclaim.

“What a big head.”

“Is this an elephant’s head?”

Xu Yuexin followed her gaze and saw that there was indeed a beast skull as big as a small table on the ground. It was spectacular to describe it.

"Let's go."

Xu Yuexin took Tianxianma's hand and said, "Don't you want to buy more records?"

Tianxianma wanted to stay for a while, but she left reluctantly when he took her hand. She even looked back several times to look at the giant beast skull.

"What kind of animal is this? It's so big."

"fake."

Seeing that they had already walked away, Xu Yuexin lowered his voice and said, "It must have been glued together."

"what?"

Tianxianma opened her eyes wide in surprise.

Counterfeiting of animal bones is extremely common.

No matter how realistic it is, as long as it can deceive people in the end, it's fine.

It doesn’t matter if you fail to cheat. The cost of counterfeiting is low anyway, and you will just lose the money for the glue.

After a while, Xu Yuexin took Tianxianma to the stall where he bought records last time and asked the stall owner what records he had.

"There are The Blue Danube, The Voice of Spring, and The Heroic Symphony. Which one do you want?"

"Give me The Blue Danube, Adeline at the Water's Edge, and Swan Lake."

Xu Yuexin blurted out a string of names.

"Okay, nine dollars in total."

The stall owner picked up three records, wrapped them in cloth and asked, "Anything else you want?"

He had dealt with Xu Yuexin several times, so he was used to Xu Yuexin's familiarity.

However, several customers who came to buy records looked at Xu Yuexin and their eyes stayed on him for a while.

Nowadays, anyone who can name so many classical music pieces in one breath must be an expert.

"Is there any song you want to hear?"

Xu Yuexin looked at Tianxianma and said.

"Take another one, Moonlight Sonata."

Tianxianma said after careful consideration.

The record is not cheap, three dollars a copy.

She had to buy the songs she wanted to listen to the most.

"Okay, four for twelve dollars."

The stall owner rummaged through the pile of records and finally picked one out and handed it to Xu Yuexin.

"I'll pay."

Tianxian's mother quickly took out the money from her pocket and handed it to the stall owner.

Seeing this, Xu Yuexin did not rush to pay, but just put the record into his bag.

"You don't have a phonograph?"

After putting the records in place, Xu Yuexin asked Tianxianma.

"No, I will find out which friend has one later. When I release the record, I will use her record player."

“It’s like helping each other.”

Tianxianma shook her head.

"Just listen to it at my house."

Xu Yuexin said seemingly nonchalantly.

"But I have to go back later."

Tianxianma reminded her, then she laughed, "Do I have to take the train to Beijing every week to listen to music at your house?"

"Who stipulated that you should go back?"

"I have found a suitable job for you. Why are you going back?"

Xu Yuexin said with a hint of arrogance.

what?
Tianxian's mother stood there in a daze, repeating what Xu Yuexin had said in her mind.

He actually... found a job for himself in the arts industry where jobs are extremely scarce?
Tianxianma was struck by great happiness and her heart began to beat violently.

"Really? Thank you so much."

"Which unit is it?"

Tianxianma said gratefully, then asked carefully.

Tianxian's mother felt that the job Xu Yuexin found for her should be in the suburbs such as Tong County or Changping.

Because she knew that it was really hard to find a job in the city.

"It's where you're studying now, the Beijing Dance Academy."

Xu Yuexin said straightforwardly, "From now on, you will be an assistant to Associate Professor Liu."

Tianxianma was hit by happiness again.

Oh my god, it’s in a good place like the Dance Academy!

You know, there is a strong dance atmosphere there and the school spirit is very positive. It is the place she dreams of going to.

Tianxianma couldn't believe that her dream would come true one day.

"Don't just stand there. Remember to bring your materials and report to Associate Professor Liu tomorrow."

Xu Yuexin patted Tianxianma's shoulders and said, "This time I asked Associate Professor Liu to find a job for you. Remember to respect him in the future."

"Yeah, don't worry. I've always respected her."

Tianxianma quickly said, "Should I thank her later?"

"No, you just need to do your job conscientiously. Teaching assistants have a lot of things to do."

Xu Yuexin said, "Only by doing well the current work can there be the possibility of further development."

"Okay, I'll try my best."

"Thank you for your great help."

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to stay in the capital."

Tianxianma thanked Xu Yuexin again, with a hint of embarrassment in her beautiful eyes.

"Okay, let's go back and listen to music."

Xu Yuexin nodded and walked towards the Duke's Mansion with Tianxianma.

On the way, the two passed a high-end fashion store.

Tianxianma suggested to Xu Yuexin that she go in to take a look, and she picked out a well-made shirt and a tie for him.

"You're tall and have broad shoulders, so this shirt will look great on you."

Tianxian's mother held the shirt in front of Xu Yuexin and gestured, "Go try it now."

"Oh, don't forget your tie."

When Xu Yuexin walked towards the fitting room with the shirt, Tianxianma stuffed the tie into his hands and said.

"No need for that. I don't usually wear a tie."

Xu Yuexin returned the tie to her, picked up the shirt and went into the fitting room.

After a while, he came out wearing a brand new shirt and looked at himself in the mirror.

"I was right, what a stylish outfit."

Tianxian's mother stared at Xu Yuexin in the mirror intently and praised him with a slightly blushing face.

After saying that, she took out twenty yuan from her small bag and handed it to the salesperson.

"It cost you money."

When leaving the store, Xu Yuexin said to Tianxianma.

"A little token of my appreciation."

Tianxian's mother looked at Xu Yuexin somewhat obsessed and shook her head.

Xu Yuexin is tall and handsome to begin with, and he looks even more handsome in this shirt, looking extremely heroic.

Tianxianma can hardly take her eyes off him now.

"You really want to thank me?"

"Then give me a kiss."

Xu Yuexin was walking on the road, with a slightly raised corner of his mouth, and spoke to Tianxianma beside him.

Tianxian's mother was startled by him and looked around quickly. When she found that no one heard it, she breathed a sigh of relief and her pretty face turned red.

"Don't talk nonsense, we're outside."

Oh...you mean you can do it at home, right?

Xu Yuexin once again came to an enterprise-level understanding and smiled knowingly.

After returning to the Duke's Mansion, Xu Yuexin opened the vermilion lacquered gate and put his arms around Tianxianma's shoulders.

"You said you were outside."

"You can kiss me now."

"..."

Tianxian's mother didn't expect that he was still thinking about this matter, and she was immediately ashamed.

"Then...close your eyes."

Tianxianma thought for a moment and said.

Xu Yuexin nodded and closed his eyes as Tianxianma said.

At this moment, he clearly felt a warm breath approaching him.

Soon, Xu Yuexin felt two soft and wet spots on his cheeks.

When Xu Yuexin opened his eyes, he saw that Tianxian's mother's face was already red and she was shyly turning her head away.

"After the kiss, let's go listen to the record."

Tianxianma asked in a voice as thin as a mosquito's.

She never dreamed that one day she would take the initiative to kiss Xu Yuexin!

"That's because you kissed me, I haven't kissed you yet."

Xu Yuexin said without discussing.

After saying that, he held Tianxianma's chin with his big hand and forced her to turn her head and look at him.

Then, Xu Yuexin kissed Tianxianma's cherry lips...

"Hey……"

Before Tianxianma could push Xu Yuexin away, he grabbed her mouth tightly and she could only make grunting sounds.

Xu Yuexin's big hand slid down from Tianxianma's shoulder and began to gently caress her buttocks through her gauze skirt and flesh-colored stockings.

The dancer’s body… feels so good to touch!
Xu Yuexin sighed with unusual satisfaction as the big hand wreaked havoc.

……

After a long time, Xu Yuexin ended his hugging and kissing and attacking Tianxianma and let her go.

Tianxian's mother gasped for a while with a red face before she calmed down.

"Not in the yard next time."

Tianxianma, with the fever still lingering on her face, complained to Xu Yuexin.

Before she could finish her words, she felt embarrassed and began to stutter, "It's really... too embarrassing!"

"With such a high wall, what's there to be afraid of?"

Xu Yuexin put his hand on Tianxianma's shoulder and said, "Go listen to the record."

"Um……"

Tianxian's mother covered her hot cheeks with her hands and walked towards the main courtyard with Xu Yuexin.

After entering the bedroom, Xu Yuexin put on the record like last time, plugged in the phonograph, and sat beside it with Tianxian's mother to listen carefully to the music.

This time, he played "Adeline at the Water's Edge".

Soon, quiet, beautiful and soothing music was heard in the house.

Tianxianma listened carefully, and soon she was completely drawn into it just like last time.

Xu Yuexin was fine, he wasn't too immersed in it.

Because when he was in high school before he traveled through time, the school bell was the climax of "Adeline at the Waterside"...

This somewhat reminded Xu Yuexin of his senior year in high school.

Soon, the song ended, but Tianxianma was still immersed in the music and couldn't savor it for a long time. "I feel like this song seems to want to express something."

Tianxian's mother looked at Xu Yuexin infatuatedly and said, "What kind of story do you think is hidden here?"

Huh, asking this?
Then it's time for him to show off his skills.

Xu Yuexin turned to Tianxianma and said with joy in his heart.

“‘Adeline at the Water’ is a 1976 piece that tells a story from Greek mythology.”

Xu Yuexin talked eloquently and told Tianxianma, "There was a king in ancient Greece who loved sculpture. One day, he carved a statue of a beautiful girl."

"The statue was so perfect that the king fell in love with his work after it was finished."

"For this reason, he lost his appetite and hoped that the statue of the girl could become a real person."

"The king's sincere feelings finally moved the god of love."

"The god of love gave life to the statue, allowing her to become a truly beautiful girl, and she lived happily with the king."

"So this is ah."

Tianxian's mother had been listening intently beside him. When Xu Yuexin finished speaking, she nodded and said, "How romantic."

"By the way, how do you know the background story here?"

"Reading. I usually like to read some cutting-edge literary magazines."

Xu Yuexin said with a profound look on his face that he would never tell Tianxianma that he knew all these from watching short videos before he traveled through time.

His trick was very effective, and Tianxianma immediately showed admiration after hearing it.

"I see. Where are your magazines? I want to read them too."

Xu Yuexin's heart skipped a beat when he was asked this question.

"Those books are at my parents' place, not at my own house."

"Oh, when you go there, bring it back for me to see, okay?"

Tianxianma believed it and continued to make requests.

Nowadays, there are not many books on the market that introduce foreign literature and art.

Tianxianma made such a request because she was eager to learn and wanted to emulate Xu Yuexin.

Fortunately, Xu Yuexin had a strong psychological quality and did not show any abnormality.

"You want to read it, right? Okay, I'll bring the book back next time."

Xu Yuexin agreed immediately, "Let's listen to another song."

After saying that, Xu Yuexin went upstairs and changed the record, still classical music.

Tianxianma was listening to the music beside him, fascinated, her eyes always focused on the phonograph.

Not until the end of the song did Tianxianma reluctantly stand up, her expression still seeming to savor the moment.

After a moment, she looked at Xu Yuexin.

"I have to go back and prepare my personal information. I have to report tomorrow."

Xu Yuexin hugged Tianxianma's graceful body into his arms.

"Give me a kiss before you go."

"Hate."

Tianxian's mother turned away embarrassedly at first, then unexpectedly came back and kissed Xu Yuexin on the face, "Okay, can you let me go now?"

"No, you have to kiss me back."

After Xu Yuexin finished speaking, he kissed Tianxianma's cherry lips again, and his big hands also reached into her skirt, and continued to invade along her beautiful legs tightly wrapped in flesh-colored stockings...

……

Xu Yuexin didn't stop until he had made Tianxianma weak and limp all over again.

"I'll go find you at school tomorrow morning."

"I'll go with you to report."

Xu Yuexin let go of Tianxianma, helped her tidy up her wrinkled skirt and neckline, and said to her.

"Well... my dormitory is in Building 6."

Tianxian's mother panted slightly and spoke in a soft voice.

After Xu Yuexin's prank just now, Tianxian's mother really didn't have the energy to speak anymore.

The next morning, Xu Yuexin came to the downstairs of Tianxianma's dormitory and went to the female associate professor's office with her.

In the early morning of the dance academy, you can see girls everywhere getting up early to attend classes and practice.

One after another young and beautiful bodies passed by Xu Yuexin, making him a little dazzled.

Ahem, don’t look around randomly.

In front of Tianxianma, you still have to maintain the image of a gentleman.

Xu Yuexin thought to himself after glancing at a tall girl passing by.

"Where are your eyes?"

Just as he was about to look away, Tianxianma gave an dissatisfied reminder and started to punish Xu Yuexin.

"Ouch……"

Xu Yuexin cried out in pain as she pinched his arm hard.

"I just took a look."

Xu Yuexin defended himself with a look of grievance.

"Yes, take a look at each one."

Tianxianma said angrily.

"..."

Well, she caught me this time.

The two continued walking towards the administrative building, and when they arrived in front of the female associate professor's office, they happened to see her opening the door.

"Hey, why did you come here in person?"

"Just happened to be free, so I came here with Xiaoli."

"Hello, teacher. Have you had breakfast?"

The three of them greeted each other warmly and friendly.

After a while, Tianxian's mother finished the formalities and was about to stay in the office to work when the female associate professor spoke.

"You haven't finished your training yet, go to class first, or take a rest if you don't have any classes."

"It's not too late to start work after completing the training."

"It's okay. I rested yesterday."

Tianxianma quickly expressed.

When you first arrive, diligence is more important than anything else.

"Really, I don't have anything to do here recently."

The female associate professor insisted that Tianxianma must be given a holiday.

"Then you can always come to me if you need anything."

Seeing this, Tianxian's mother had no choice but to say.

Of course before leaving, she helped the female associate professor organize the lesson plans, and then walked out of the office to chase Xu Yuexin who had already left.

"Why don't you work for her?"

Xu Yuexin had already walked to the entrance of the college and was a little surprised to see Tianxian's mother catching up with him.

"The teacher insisted that I finish my training period before I can start working."

"I couldn't persuade her, so I had to agree."

"She takes good care of you then."

"I can't do without you saying hello in advance."

Tianxianma smiled slightly.

The advanced training course has been completed, and Tianxianma doesn’t have to go to class or go to work these days.

Just like the previous two days, Xu Yuexin continued to take her home to listen to the phonograph.

Over the next few days, the two of them listened to all the records.

At this time, it was time for Tianxian's mother to report to the unit.

The Duke's Mansion is too far from the dance academy, and Tianxian's mother, as a temporary worker, has no dormitory assigned to her, so she needs to rent a house near the school.

When Tianxian's mother calculated the rent, her brows immediately furrowed.

As a temporary worker, she earns 30 yuan a month, but now the rent for a single room next to the school has risen to 10 yuan a month.

Considering the daily food expenses, plus every pair of shoes, every skirt, etc...

Well, we can’t say that we are stretched financially, we can only say that it is completely insufficient.

Xu Yuexin talked to Tianxian's mother about her life after work, and seeing that she looked sad, he probably guessed the reason.

"It's because you don't have enough money, right?"

"Well, I saved some money from my previous job, so I can get by."

"That would be like living off the past."

"How about this, I'm planning to buy a house near your school, and it will be just right for you to live in."

"Ah? Buying a house? That would be very expensive."

Tianxian's mother quickly waved her hands and said, "You really don't have to spend so much money on me."

"Well, the house is still under my name after all. How can I say I spent it for you?"

Xu Yuexin comforted Tianxian's mother, "Okay, it's settled. You don't have to rush to rent a house. When I find a house and buy it later, you can move in directly."

Buying a house in Haiding would give Tianxianma a place to stay and the house would also appreciate in value, so it would be a good idea for Xu Yuexin.

……

The next day, Xu Yuexin took Tianxianma to Haiding Wanshou area to look at houses.

In later times, this is a place where every inch of land is worth a lot of money, and the Beijing Dance Academy is located here.

Of course, at present, the Wanshou area still seems desolate, and there are no other supporting facilities except large and small colleges and residential quarters.

After Xu Yuexin arrived at the place, he went straight to the security guard of a housing estate and handed him a cigarette.

"Hey buddy, is there anyone here who wants to sell a house?"

"House for sale? No, these are all public houses. If you want to buy a house, you can go across the street and ask. They have a few private houses there."

"Okay, thank you."

Xu Yuexin nodded and walked in the direction indicated by the guard.

Tianxianma followed him closely and asked him a question.

"How much does a house here cost?"

"I don't know, who cares."

Xu Yuexin said nonchalantly and ran straight to the gate of the staff quarters on the other side of the road.

"Young man, I heard everything you said over there."

This time, before he could even speak, the security officer at the entrance asked, "You want to buy a house, right?"

"Yes, does anyone here want to sell a house?"

As Xu Yuexin spoke, he handed him a big front door.

“There are two households, both private houses.”

The security officer took the cigarette and put it to his ear.

There are two sources of family housing these days. One is built after the liberation, and all of them are public housing.

Another type was built before the liberation, some of the houses inside have not been renovated and still retain the property rights of private houses.

For example, Sha Zhu’s house in Love in Courtyard is a private house because his family lived here before liberation.

Correspondingly, Yi Zhonghai's house is most likely a public housing unit, as he probably got the house based on his status as an employee of the steel rolling mill.

"Okay, could you please take me there?"

Xu Yuexin asked, then handed the security officer a pack of cigarettes.

The security officer nodded and took the cigarette.

"No problem, but you have to wait until after get off work at noon."

"Okay, I'll come see you at noon."

After Xu Yuexin finished speaking, he took Tianxian's mother away from the family compound, planning to come back at noon.

It was a long way from the East Second Ring Road to Wanshou, and he didn't plan to go back a long way.

The two went to the dance school library and sat for a while. Tianxian's mother was reading a book inside, and Xu Yuexin was watching the girls coming in and out.

The quality of the girls in the dance academy is really amazing.

It's not just her looks and figure, but also her manners and temperament developed from years of dancing practice that are hard to forget at first sight.

It was almost noon when the two went to the cafeteria to have lunch and then went to the staff quarters to look at houses.

When he arrived at the gate of the family compound, Xu Yuexin saw the security officer waiting for him at the door.

"Go up, there are people at these two households all year round."

The security officer, Xu Yuexin, and Tianxian's mother talked and walked into the family compound together.

This is a row of Western-style houses built before the founding of the People's Republic of China. Currently, those living there are leaders of the surrounding state-owned factories and senior intellectuals from universities.

Since the people living here are all well-known, the environment of the family compound is very well maintained, with stone paved roads and shady trees, and even the small fountain at the entrance is very well maintained.

Every window is installed with the most fashionable and expensive blue glass, which looks very western.

When Tianxianma saw the house in front of her, her heart was shocked.

The price here should be very expensive, right?
