…

After the award ceremony, Chen Guohua still arranged three days of rest before returning to China on a special plane.

We returned with a full load, and this airport welcoming ceremony can be described as grand.

Flowers, applause, cheers, and reporters from TV stations and newspapers.

Even though they were students, the next few days were no easier than during the competition.

Welcome banquet, press interviews, celebrations and commendations...

Fortunately, they cannot show off their works, so there are no exchange meetings.

I'm finally back to school, and it's almost the end of the semester.

Over in Wusi Hutong, these days, Xie Ailian no longer stays in the yard to enjoy the cool air. She always comes out to enjoy the cool air under the trees in the hutong.

However, Wang Zhaozhao never came back.

Of course Wang Zhaozhao wanted to go home, but she knew what she was doing and didn't even rush to pack her luggage.

Sure enough, Professor Zhou came to find them immediately.

"How do you feel about going out to compete this time?" Professor Zhou asked after congratulating them.

“Everyone is so awesome.”

"I'm very pleased that you can still think this way after winning the gold medal."

"We just won one game, but in fact, our country lags behind others in many aspects."

Hearing this, Professor Zhou sighed, "That's true... But we must have confidence, we can definitely catch up.

Although it has stagnated for more than ten years, there is an old saying: "Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood! Talents emerge in every generation."

certainly!

Professor Zhou is confident, and Wang Zhaozhao and others are even more confident and full of enthusiasm.

Wang Zhaozhao smiled. "If a man is not frivolous in his youth, he will be in vain. Suddenly, a blessing comes to his mind, just like a poem by Li Bai: 'One day the great roc soars with the wind, reaching up to ninety thousand miles.'"

"Even if it comes down when the wind dies down, it can still stir up the ocean water." Xu Yanni continued with perfect tacit understanding.

Zhao Shinan: "People always see me as different, and when they hear my big words, they all sneer."

Xu Renjie: "Even Xuanfu was afraid of the younger generation. A man should never look down on the young."

Xu Jiaying: “……!”

Chu Jian: “……!”

The sentences were not evenly distributed, so we didn’t get any.

"Good! Hahaha..." Professor Zhou laughed, "You have great ambition! Hahaha..."

With young people like you, the country will surely become stronger.

We old bones have also gathered our strength and vowed to shake the green wind to help you and our country soar to the sky."

The boss's face turned red with excitement, and he roared out words full of passion, as if his soul was burning.

Wang Zhaozhao and the others looked at each other, a little worried. Is the old man's heart and blood pressure okay?

After the excitement, let’s get back to business.

"I remember you usually go home during vacation?" Professor Zhou asked.

Wang Zhaozhao, Xu Yanni and others nodded.

Is this going to join the 'group' again?

Although they are passionate, patriotic, and so on, they are not yet adults after all. Even if they have never thought of being lazy, they still like being students.

After all, the further you go in life, the fewer opportunities there are for them as they just want to be a student who works harder than the average hard-working student.

"Well, teacher, how long will it take this time? Our final exams are coming up soon..." Xu Renjie said weakly.

“The final exam isn’t important, as for how long I’ll be gone… this time is different from the last time.

The information of your work has been studied by experts in solar energy. You are needed to improve the data and cooperate with them to complete the application of solar energy technology in their project.

Last time you were just a little involved, but this time you are truly participating in the project research.

So, the timing is up to you.”

In that case...

Several people looked at each other, and Xu Renjie continued to speak, "Then give us two days off?"

It’s okay if they can’t go home, but for those who can go home, it’s impossible for them to not go home at all, or just go back for a meal and leave, right?

Upon hearing this, Professor Zhou felt a sudden lump in his throat.

These children are really so sensible that it makes you feel distressed.

"How about this, take a five-day break and everyone can go home. I'll arrange for you to get picked up and dropped off, as well as your plane tickets.

This time is different from last year. I can’t arrange a ten-day vacation for you during the summer vacation, and you don’t have to go back to school when school starts..."

As for the solar energy project, he went to see the leader of the Department of Physics.

They are borrowing their students, so they can't be unreasonable and inhumane, right?!

"Thank you, teacher."

Xu Renjie and his family would naturally be very happy if they could go back home.

Professor Zhou smiled and waved his hand, said a few more words, and let them go first.

Then, immediately rush to the leader's office.

lead:"……!"

However, looking at Professor Zhou's smiling face, I had the urge to punch him.

…

Carrying my schoolbag, I walked into May Fourth Hutong.

Wang Zhaozhao saw from a distance that there were several old ladies sitting on the curb opposite their house.

Comrade Xie Ailian was among them.

Ailian was waiting there on purpose, so naturally she saw her from a distance.

"oops!"

The old lady slapped her knees with her hands and stood up suddenly, which scared the other old ladies.

"My eldest granddaughter is back." Xie Ailian smiled happily.

oh……

When the old ladies heard this, they all stood up.

Even if you have never spoken before, you will recognize each other after meeting each other.

"Grandma, I'm back... Hello, grandmas." Wang Zhaozhao greeted them obediently.

She is only naughty at home, but outside, especially in front of the elderly, she is very well-behaved.

"Oh, Old Xie, your granddaughter is so pretty, well-behaved and sweet-spoken." An old lady said.

Xie Ailian waved her hand, "No... She just pretends to be well-behaved outside."

"You've been looking forward to it every day, and finally it has come true. But what Old Qian said is right, the girl is pretty, even prettier than she looks on TV." Another old lady said.

Xie Ailian's face was as bright as a chrysanthemum. "She's pretty, I guess. People in our village all say she looks like me when I was young."

A group of old ladies: “……!”

Xie Ailian took Wang Zhaozhao home and invited everyone to her home to sit down, treating them with melon seeds, peanuts, and sliced ​​watermelon.

However, there are always people with bad mouths everywhere. Xie Ailian is not afraid just because this is in Beijing. She will just bark at them and drive them away.

The man was still unconvinced. A white-haired old lady pointed at the old woman and said sternly, "Mrs. Qian, get out of here! Otherwise, not to mention Old Xie, I'll go to the police station and get someone to arrest you.

You actually told a college student who had just returned from bringing glory to the country and was not yet an adult that no matter how much a girl studied, she would still have to take care of her husband and children in the end.

You have to find a partner while you’re still young, get married early, and have children early…”

She became more and more angry as she spoke, and slammed her hand on the table, "Get out of here!"

“…”
