Chapter 363 No One Can Escape
Lin Xiangnan was quite supportive of Gu Zhenhua's idea.
China and Vietnam fought on the border for ten years, and the major supporting corps withdrew in 1989. The timeline is so long that even if Gu Zhenhua did not take the initiative to volunteer, he might be transferred directly there later.
Given the nature of the Chinese people, if they really suffered a loss in the war against Vietnam, it would definitely be highlighted in history books so that their children would bear a grudge.
But in the past ten years of war, except for the most intense battles that were reported in the newspapers, our motherland did not make any moves at other times. It is obvious that our people have the upper hand.
The training at the military academy can be short-term training of two to three months or long-term training of two to three years. Gu Zhenhua's training period was two years. In 1980, as soon as the training was completed, Gu Zhenhua and several other students went to the front line.
"Be careful and stay safe. Write to your family when you have time and don't let anyone worry." Lin Xiangnan warned seriously before sending the person to the car.
"You too. Study hard and wait for me to come back."
Gu Zhenhua spoke softly to Lin Xiangnan, but changed his attitude to Dabao and Xiaobao, saying solemnly: "When I'm not at home, take good care of mom, okay? You two are the ones Dad trusts the most."
"I know." Dabao and Xiaobao nodded seriously.
With Lin Xiangnan at the helm at home, there will be no problems in the general direction. With Hu Meili and Gu Zhenjun helping with the details, Gu Zhenhua will be very relieved even if he leaves.
But Lin Xiangnan still felt a little uncomfortable with the sudden disappearance of such a person at home. When he went to work at the institute the next day, he sat in his seat in a daze for a long time.
Seeing her like this, Zhao Fengying couldn't help but wave her hand in front of her, "What are you doing? Are you worried?"
"A little bit." Lin Xiangnan stretched out his finger and made a small OK gesture.
"I can't help it. It's a matter of defending our country. If I wasn't pregnant, my husband would have to go too. When the child is older next year, he wants to go, and I'll let him go." Zhao Fengying shrugged. Her relationship with Captain Li was in fast-forward mode, and now the child was about to be born.
But according to the current progress of the war, Captain Li will probably have to go to the border. The major armies in the mainland will not give up this good opportunity to train their troops.
Lin Xiangnan comforted him, "A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. You can't just keep someone at home playing in the mud after learning all these skills. In the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult to fight with other countries in this international situation. If you want to gain experience, you can only seize this opportunity."
"Who can predict what will happen in the future? We'll see when the time comes." Zhao Fengying said casually.
"That's true." Lin Xiangnan agreed.
When they first entered school, Lin Xiangnan and Gu Zhenhua both planned to go back after graduation, Gu Zhenhua to his military region, and Lin Xiangnan to Factory 132.
Now that Gu Zhenhua has gone to the front line to fight, his return date is uncertain, so the original plan will have to be postponed.
When several teachers and students were having a small meeting, Professor Wang looked at Lin Xiangnan expectantly, "You will study for a doctorate, right?"
"Probably. Not sure." Lin Xiangnan's eyes dodged. She hadn't made up her mind yet. She had worked in the research institute for the past two years, and she felt a great sense of accomplishment, but sometimes she was still very tired. If nothing else, going back to Factory 132 was a slower pace.
"I still suggest you pursue a Ph.D. Your talent should not be wasted." Professor Wang's eyes were eager.
After Professor Wang asked Lin Xiangnan questions, Ding Yougui and others waited silently, hoping that Professor Wang would ask them the same questions.
Who knew that Professor Wang actually asked, his eyes were equally expectant, but his words were, "You won't be studying for a Ph.D., right?"
Wei Dongliang wanted to continue his studies, but he wanted to study abroad, and Professor Wang had already arranged it for him. So Ding Yougui said in a voice full of resentment, with a long tone, "No~~~"
He wanted to go back to his original unit and really had no intention of continuing his studies.
The other junior brothers and sisters were all silent as they hadn't made up their minds yet.
The first batch of students were recruited by Professor Wang after many years and they are his treasures.
But as time went by and the number of students increased, Professor Wang unconsciously changed his mind.
Teaching students can be really annoying sometimes.
She had to spend a lot of time to guide them in conducting experiments and writing papers. It was okay for someone like Lin Xiangnan who understood everything quickly and didn't need her to worry about it, but for the others, Professor Wang just felt a headache.
As her favorite disciple, Lin Xiangnan has long been able to conduct independent research and publish papers in foreign journals without using her name, but has always used the name of the school laboratory.
But although Lin Xiangnan was very capable, she didn't like to take on work for herself, nor was she good at being a teacher. When her junior classmates asked her about things, she replied that it was impossible for her to help teach them step by step because she didn't have the time for that.
It just so happens that the new students are worse than the previous ones. Professor Wang is not becoming more skilled as a teacher, but is only getting more and more tired. He feels that he is aging faster and faster.
When no one was around, Professor Wang complained to Lin Xiangnan in private, "Next year I will tell the dean to assign fewer students to me and not to add more people. I am too old to lead them. If I have to lead them, I only want to lead the smart ones, not the stupid ones."
Professor Wang only accepted three students in the first and second batches. This year, the school directly gave her six places. How could Professor Wang not feel resentful?
"Didn't you personally select the students during the interview?" Lin Xiangnan asked teasingly.
"That's just picking a general from a group of short guys. Just make do."
Lin Xiangnan had no answer to this question. To be able to overcome all difficulties and get into Professor Wang's college, he must be a talent.
It's just that Professor Wang's standards are too high. Even among the students she personally selected, in her eyes, there are only one or two who are suitable for scientific research.
"In fact, our junior brothers and sisters are not bad either." Lin Xiangnan consoled him, "During the ten years of shelving the college entrance examination, there were too many talented people, which is why the first two classes of students were so outstanding. But don't you see how old we are? We are several years older than them, so of course we have more experience. After another two years of teaching, our junior brothers and sisters will be able to take on the responsibility."
"That's right. Even if there are only three or five useful students out of a hundred, we still have to teach them. If we don't teach them, they will be of no use." Professor Wang rubbed his face, his melancholy mood still showing.
Lin Xiangnan spoke without any hesitation, and said righteously: "Yes, that's right, that's the way it should be. Cultivating talents for the motherland is also a great job. People like you, teacher, have always been my admirers and role models."
Hearing this, Professor Wang's eyes suddenly became kind and he smiled delicately.
"According to the dean, after you graduate, I suggest you stay on to teach at the school. What I mean is that you should come to the graduate school and serve as a part-time teacher."
