Chapter 324 It would be nice to have another child
dong dong~
"Enter."
Wang Xiaping came in with some cut apples. Since she had to meet her "future in-laws" in the evening, she didn't even go to play mahjong and waited at home until three o'clock in the afternoon to go out.
"Don't stare at the computer all the time. It hurts your eyes."
"Got it." Xu Qingzhou responded without raising his head.
Wang Xiaping shook her head and walked out, muttering, "The computer is full of scribbles."
Xu Shouyun stroked his teacup, staring at the game, and said with contempt: "That's a mathematical formula, it sounds so mysterious."
"Can you understand?"
"If I could understand this, I could become a scientist. Why am I still here?"
"If you don't understand, then you don't understand. So what are you doing with such a straight face?"
"."
At the same time, at the Institute of Advanced Mathematics of the Imperial College of Science and Technology, the project on the Polignac conjecture was completed. After a break, everyone started preparing for new projects.
Professor Yagir looked at the student, "Samit, you want to do research in harmonic analysis?"
The Indian boy Samit nodded.
"Because of Xu Qingzhou?" Professor Yajir asked in a deep voice.
A few days ago, Xu Qingzhou announced that he would suspend his research on prime numbers and turn to a new research direction. I heard that he would mainly follow the direction of his teacher and focus on harmonic analysis.
Anyone who works in academia knows how difficult it is to gain a foothold in a completely new field.
Is this Xia countryman crazy? He just solved the Polignac conjecture, shouldn't he continue now?
Samit's face was determined: "I hope to find back what I lost."
Xu Qingzhou's talent in prime number research was so terrifying that it made people feel a little desperate. This hit him hard. After thinking for more than half a month, he decided to also do harmonic analysis.
He himself had conducted research in this area, and his teacher Professor Yagir also made great achievements in the field of harmonic analysis.
Professor Yajir thought for a moment and nodded. "Okay, in terms of direction, let's focus on selection and analysis. However, you have to give me a popular topic. You know, those idiots who manage research funds only care about results."
"Okay!" Samit nodded heavily, full of ambition.
Rongcheng.
At 4 pm, the two families gathered in front of the hotel.
Moreover, Xu Qingzhou also discovered that without him and Song Yao knowing, Old Xu and the others had already become extremely familiar with each other. It was just like old relatives meeting each other after many years.
The meal was very good and the atmosphere was great.
The holiday passed by very quickly.
On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, we went to buy New Year's goods, couplets, fruits, peanuts, melon seeds, candies, etc.
After New Year’s Eve, the new year begins.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, when Xu Qingzhou woke up in the morning, Xu Shouyun was already roasting pig's brain on the windowsill. He was not idle either. After washing up, he put on his clothes and went to help.
In the past, people paid attention to wearing new clothes during the Chinese New Year, but now there are so many clothes that people are too lazy to buy new ones. In the words of Ms. Wang, as long as the clothes can "support the head", it's fine.
In the evening, there was another large table of food. Apart from the leftovers from last night, there were few people at home, so the New Year’s Eve dinner lasted from the first to the fifteenth day of the new year. Although it was a bit exaggerated, we really had to eat leftovers for a few days.
During the New Year period, except for a trip to the countryside on the third day of the New Year to visit his elderly grandparents, Xu Qingzhou still rarely went out as before.
On February 2, the sixth day of the Chinese New Year, the day after Xu Qingzhou visited the Song family, Song Yao came to see the old Xu couple carrying some things.
"Look at you, you just came, why do you need to bring anything? Take Xiaoyao around the house first." Wang Xiaping had been frowning, and after she finished speaking, she went to the kitchen to cut fruit.
Xu Qingzhou pulled Song Yao into the bedroom. Looking at the festive red bed sheets, Song Yao covered her mouth and laughed.
"Xiaoyao, eat some fruit."
Wang Xiaping walked in and saw two young men staring at the bed sheets. "I spent a long time choosing the bed sheets, and this guy kept saying they looked old."
"It's really old-fashioned. If you don't believe me, ask Song Yao."
Xu Qingzhou pulled Song Yao, trying to prove to Ms. Wang that his point of view was correct.
Song Yao pursed her lips, nodded, and said under Xu Qingzhou's expectant eyes:
“I think it looks good.”
Xu Qingzhou was silent, looked at School Beauty Song, and said, "That's not what you said a few days ago."
"What did I say?" Song Yao blinked at him, the threat in her eyes was self-evident.
Xu Qingzhou gave in and said against his will: "You said it was beautiful."
"See, you're the only one who has too many things to do every day." Wang Xiaping's smile widened. Yes, judging from the conversation between the two, there is a generation gap between her and the young people in terms of aesthetics. Maybe in the eyes of these two people, the bed sheets are indeed not good-looking.
But does it matter?
unimportant!
She was happy that the two young people got along very harmoniously, and Xu Qingzhou just needed someone to take care of him.
Back in the living room, Wang Xiaping said with a smile: "Xiaoyao, you guys sit for a while, I'll go cook."
"Auntie, let me help you."
Song Yao pulled her hand out of Xu Qingzhou's and stood up.
Wang Xiaping originally didn't want Song Yao to go into the kitchen, as she was dressed up beautifully and it would be bad to be exposed to kitchen fumes. But Song Yao insisted, so she happily agreed.
In fact, for Ms. Wang, this is the realization of her small dream of cooking in the kitchen with her daughter-in-law.
The two girls were busy in the kitchen, while Xu Qingzhou and Xu Shouyun were watching the game in the living room.
Xu Qingzhou looked back at the kitchen. Ms. Wang and Song Yao were talking. The former had a look of joy between her brows and looked very happy, while the latter had lost her former aloofness and had a more down-to-earth air.
"If you can't sit still, come in and help." Xu Shouyun glanced at him.
Xu Qingzhou peeled an orange and leaned lazily on the sofa. "There's only so much space in the kitchen. How can I help?"
Xu Shouyun didn't say anything, but he seemed a little dazed. His wife had been saying that she felt like she couldn't touch the ground, and he had comforted her. Now she was fine and happy, but when he saw this scene, he felt a sense of unreality.
Daughter-in-law. Although not yet, it seems that she will be in a few years.
"Dad, do you think happiness comes too suddenly?"
Xu Qingzhou looked at Lao Xu's expression and knew what he was thinking.
Lao Xu took a sip of tea and ignored the boaster, but he did have that feeling.
Xu Qingzhou thought to himself, "Fortunately, we don't like children that much, otherwise, if you were to become a grandfather someday, that would be really exciting."
Of course, he was just saying it in his mind. They weren't even of legal marriage age, so there was no point in having a child.
Besides, even if you are married, you should enjoy the happy life of the two of you. Why give birth to two money-eating beasts so early and cause trouble?
At 5 o'clock in the evening, Wang Xiaping called for dinner in the living room.
The two people who were eating dry meals also stood up, washed their hands, and helped to serve the dishes and rice.
With one more person at home, it became much more lively than usual, and Ms. Wang never stopped laughing.
After dinner, the task of washing the dishes fell on Xu Qingzhou, while Wang Xiaping took Song Yao to the living room to chat.
8 pm.
Everyone chatted and watched TV for a while, and Song Yao was ready to go back.
At the door, Xu Qingzhou helped Song Yao wrap her scarf.
The red scarf and white knitted hat made the slender school girl Song look like a fat penguin, making her delicate face look very small. So cute, he couldn't help but pinch her.
With Wang Xiaping and the others around, Song Yao could only glare at her naughty boyfriend. After glaring, the resentment on her face was instantly replaced by a smile. She turned to Wang Xiaping and Xu Shouyun and said, "Uncle Xu, Aunt Wang, you don't have to see me off."
Looking at the school beauty Song's unique face-changing skills, Xu Qingzhou was amazed.
Xu Shouyun and Wang Xiaping still saw the two of them out with a smile.
Under the gaze of the old couple, Xu Qingzhou and Song Yao's figures disappeared around the corner of the intersection.
"That's great." Ms. Wang realized a small dream today. She was in such a good mood that she began to fantasize again and murmured, "It would be even better if they had another child."
"Yeah. Bullshit. They are only 19 years old. What's the point of saying they are children or not?"
