Chapter 321: Grand Spectacular
On the morning of the 6th, Wu Tong got up early as usual, did his usual morning exercises on the balcony, and then came out to have breakfast with his parents who were at home on their day off.
There was no rule in their family about not talking while eating or sleeping. While eating breakfast, Jin Yu and Wu Jingzhong talked about their daily life and the festival they were going downstairs to celebrate in the evening.
"It's a nice day today, let's take the quilts out to dry in the sun!" In winter, when the sun comes out, Jin Yu likes to dry the quilts diligently, and he has not changed this habit even after coming to Shangjing.
Before, I had to go upstairs and carry the clothes to the drying rope on the roof. Now that my balcony is big, I don’t have to worry about the space for drying clothes.
A warm quilt with the temperature and scent of the sun will help you sleep better all night long.
"I'll help you after I finish cleaning!" Wu Jingzhong set up the drying rack and held the quilt, ready to help his wife. The home is well heated, and although the quilt is not thick, it is of good quality and light, but the quilt at home is large in size, which is more convenient for more people.
Anyway, he has nothing to do at home on weekends, so he can do more work that requires attention, which is the essence of the growing love between husband and wife. No lover likes a considerate and discerning husband.
"My younger brother suggested that we spend the New Year at our house and go to their place on the 15th!" This was something that had been planned in advance, and Jin Yu was just repeating it as a reminder.
"Tongtong, are you still going to school this Saturday? Do you have anything important to do in the evening? If not, come home early to celebrate the Lantern Festival!" It is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival, and Xinxin is thousands of miles away and cannot come back. It is a happy comfort for Tongtong to come home early to accompany the two elders.
"I'm not going to school today. I've been invited to attend a meeting in the Great Hall. I'll try to come back early in the afternoon!" After estimating the meeting time, she thought it should be finished in the morning. If she can talk to her teachers and seniors, she should be able to get home as soon as possible before two or three in the afternoon.
Wu Tong put down her bowl and chopsticks and prepared to wait for her parents to finish eating. She helped clean up and sent them to the kitchen. She went back to her room to change into formal clothes. The meeting started at nine o'clock and officially began at ten o'clock, so there was still plenty of time.
"Attending a meeting in the Great Hall?" Jin Yu and Wu Jingzhong were stunned. The fact that their daughter could attend a meeting in the Great Hall was not the main point of their surprise. After all, Wu Tong had held academic seminars in the Great Hall twice. However, this did not mean that any meeting could be held in the Great Hall. Meetings that could be held in the Great Hall were all extraordinary.
When they have a meeting, they would at most go to the unit's conference room. Tongtong was invited to attend the meeting in the Great Hall. Such a meeting venue and this feeling made Wu Jingzhong and Jin Yu feel naturally proud.
The Great Hall! I don’t know what kind of meeting it is. They have been very satisfied to enter it twice in their lifetime thanks to Tongtong’s great achievements.
"The National Science and Technology Awards Conference, on the tenth day of the first lunar month, Chu Bu invited me!" Because he was not sure whether he was eligible for the award, Wu Tong had been studying hard afterwards, so he did not talk about it at home. However, it was not something that needed to be kept secret, and seeing that his parents were curious, Wu Tong spoke frankly.
"Hey... I remember now, there is such a thing, I think I heard a colleague mention it!" Wu Jingzhong suddenly remembered that he had heard before that there would be another meeting in the Great Hall. But at that time, it was not the two sessions, so he did not pay much attention to it.
"Yes, today is mainly about awarding prizes, it probably won't take too long, I'll be back early!" Seeing that her parents had finished breakfast, Wu Tong prepared to clean up the dishes. Her parents never let her do housework on weekdays, so Wu Tong helped with these small things. Wu Tong had asked her family before if they could hire a nanny, but her parents rejected it.
Wu Jingzhong and Jin Yu felt that there wasn't too much housework at home, and their work wasn't particularly heavy, so they could just lend a hand and it would be done. There was no need to have an extra person at home. Moreover, considering Wu Tong's safety, they firmly disagreed to hire more people.
"Tongtong, we have important business to attend to. Go and do your own thing. Your dad and I will clean up these few bowls!" Upon hearing that they were going to attend a meeting in the Great Hall, Jin Yu quickly urged Wu Tong to make preparations. Even if Tongtong was not going to receive the award, they were all looking forward to Tongtong's going to the meeting in high spirits.
Both of them are not ignorant people, and they understand that being able to participate in such a meeting is already a great affirmation. Tongtong is still young, and now he can be invited to such a meeting, which is already amazing!
Well, Wu Tong knew that he couldn't beat his parents in this regard, and there was no room for him to intervene, so he didn't insist any longer. He spread his hands helplessly to his parents, went back to his room, washed up, packed up, and changed into formal clothes.
At eight o'clock, Wu Tong packed up and met up with Cai Yi and An Wenshu who were already waiting upstairs. He said hello to his parents, went downstairs, got in the car and went out.
Yanyuan is less than 40 minutes' drive from the Great Hall. Wu Tong arrived at the Great Hall at 8:40. She thought she was not late, but when she passed the security check and followed the protocol staff into the conference hall, she found that the scene was already crowded with people.
"Wu Tong, this way!" Dean Pan, Master Cheng and several other experts from Beijing University who were invited were already in the line. Master Cheng saw Wu Tong from afar and greeted him with a smile.
They arrived earlier and didn't see Wu Tong, so they waited for a while talking in a vacant place near the entrance. It was also a good opportunity to say hello to old acquaintances who had arrived one after another.
Seeing Wu Tong coming in, everyone couldn't help but smile even more. Everyone with a discerning eye knew that Wu Tong would be one of the absolute protagonists of today's meeting. The weight of the Goldbach conjecture and the NS-proof combined was too heavy.
"Teacher, Dean Pan, Teacher Zhou, Academician Tian..." Wu Tong called them one by one and greeted them one by one. When Wu Tong's eyes finally saw the mature and steady middle-aged man next to Master Cheng, she couldn't help but smile and call him again: "Big Brother!" The teacher's first disciple, Academician Zhang Shaoming. Calling Academician Zhang was too unfamiliar, so Wu Tong directly called him Big Brother.
"I'm late!" She felt really embarrassed to have made all the teachers wait for her. She should have gone out earlier.
"Not late, not late, we arrived early. It's not late to arrive before the meeting starts! It's just that, generally for such meetings, everyone will arrive an hour or two early and take this opportunity to communicate with domestic colleagues! We came here early because we wanted to talk to our old friends, you can just come as usual!"
Elder Cheng pointed out the reason for the grand occasion in the field. He knew that Wu Tong was not very keen on socializing with others, so he added a special reminder at the end.
With Wu Tong's current achievements, no one has the right to force her to do something she doesn't like. In this venue, countless people want to make friends with Wu Tong.
