Chapter 63 Chatting and Drinking
After chewing and swallowing quickly, he said, "I'm going back to the kitchen."
He didn't wait for Ye Mu's response and quickly turned and went to the kitchen.
Ye Mu: ...Ancestor is so polite, why are you so shy?
It would be great if there was a communicator that could record Song Yanzhou's behavior just now.
Much more interesting than his usual expressionless look.
She sat down at the table, changed the end of the chopsticks, fanned herself with a palm-leaf fan in one hand, and started eating with the chopsticks in the other.
In the hot summer, such ordinary leisure time makes people feel satisfied.
Soon, Old Xu and Song Yanzhou began to bring out the dishes. Old Xu looked at Ye Mu sitting on the small stool and said, "Girl, how is the elbow? It's well stewed. Is it delicious?"
Ye Mu nodded and said, "It's delicious."
Mr. Xu was very surprised: "Oh, she is willing to talk to me too?!"
Song Yanzhou said: "Ye Mu has adapted to the environment, so he naturally talks more."
Ye Mu also stood up to help serve the dishes and rice. He was definitely capable of doing this little thing.
After the food was served, Mr. Xu not only asked Song Yanzhou to eat more, but also asked Ye Mu to eat more from time to time. If he saw her taking more of a dish, he would specifically ask Song Yanzhou to move it closer to her.
Then the two chatted about small things, talking about Sijiu City, Xu Rulin, Ye Mu's recent situation and Song Yanzhou's situation in the military region.
The dining table was filled with warmth and laughter, just like a small home, with everyone sitting at the table very close to each other.
Later on, Song Yanzhou mentioned Ye Mu's talent in mechanics and his desire to become Xu's apprentice.
Mr. Xu was shocked and asked, "Are you serious? Are you not lying to me, old man?"
"She really modified the fan herself? And made a sweeping machine?"
Song Yanzhou looked at Mr. Xu's disbelief, almost like his pupils were shaking, and finally found a kindred spirit. He said:
"Mr. Xu, would I lie to you?"
"The fan and her little machine are both with me, but it's not convenient to bring them."
"If you want to see it, you can go to the military area."
Mr. Xu looked at Ye Mu, then signaled Song Yanzhou not to speak. This was no small matter, so he began to ask Ye Mu questions.
All the questions she asked were about the electric fan and the sweeping machine she made.
Ye Mu answered selectively. If something was difficult to explain, she would not explain the reason and just say something ambiguous like "I think" or "let's try it".
She now has strong hands-on creative abilities, but is not suitable for demonstrating strong theoretical knowledge.
However, even if she really explained the theoretical knowledge in her mind, Mr. Xu might not be able to fully understand it. It is better to leave it ambiguous.
As a person who "has had little contact with the outside world since childhood", she is not suitable to propose any new theories before systematically receiving knowledge.
Mr. Xu originally thought that there might be obstacles in his communication with Ye Mu, but he didn't expect that he would talk to this girl about electric fans and the small machine mentioned by Song Yanzhou.
Ye Mu actually spoke more than him, one sentence after another popping out, but it sounded a bit casual, saying whatever he thought of.
Plus, there were some things she couldn't explain clearly herself. Mr. Xu was so shocked that he wanted to immediately help her make up for all the knowledge she lacked.
Mr. Xu was so excited that he didn't even eat his meal. He put down his chopsticks and stood up and said, "Wait a minute. I'll get you some books."
Song Yanzhou quickly calmed down Xu Laodao:
"Mr. Xu, your health is more important. Eat first."
"Does this mean you are willing to accept Ye Mu as your student?"
Only then did Mr. Xu calm down and said to Song Yanzhou:
"If you don't let me teach Ye Mu, who else do you want to teach him? Although I have already retired from the institute, can anyone else teach as well as I can?"
"Don't waste such a good seedling. It will make me sad when I hear about it."
Song Yanzhou expected that after Mr. Xu knew about Ye Mu's situation, he would definitely accept Ye Mu as his student:
"Of course I'll leave it to Mr. Xu, otherwise I wouldn't have brought anyone here. But... I still have something to tell Mr. Xu later."
Mr. Xu waved his hand nonchalantly: "Okay, let's eat first, and then we'll talk."
Then he thought of Ye Mu again and turned to look at Ye Mu: "It's tiring to learn from me, what do you think, girl?"
Ye Mu pursed his lips and said, "I don't feel tired."
Mr. Xu was immediately happy. You said you are not tired, right? This girl lacks theoretical knowledge. She will know when the time comes.
He didn't intend to let this good seedling go, so he said, "Okay, then I will accept this student."
"But it's not convenient for you to come to the city..." Mr. Xu was in a dilemma.
Song Yanzhou immediately suggested: "Mr. Xu, have you forgotten that there is a research institute in the military region? They have always wanted you to join."
Old Xu snorted coldly and gave Song Yanzhou a sour look: "Wait for me here, you little bastard. Okay, then I'll go to the Military Region Research Institute and sit for a while."
"You can come to the Military Region Research Institute and learn from me. You have a great talent. If you want to do something, just tell me. You have strong hands-on skills. You can't bury your hands-on skills just because you study theoretical knowledge."
"You learn while you're at it, and you can tinker with what you want."
Mr. Xu knew how important a researcher's creativity was, and Ye Mu had demonstrated this. He would never let Ye Mu sit all day or follow him to learn things from books like other students.
Just by hearing these two sentences, Ye Mu knew that he had found a very good teacher.
She nodded happily: "Thank you, teacher."
It had been a long time since he was called teacher. Mr. Xu smiled and nodded. He felt better and wanted to have a drink with Song Yanzhou. There happened to be some vegetables and meat on the table.
Under the urging of Mr. Xu, Song Yanzhou had to go and get the wine from Mr. Xu's house. Ye Mu watched them pour the wine curiously.
Xu Lao said: "You little girl, don't drink."
Song Yanzhou didn't think there was anything wrong: "You can try it, but I don't think you will like it."
He placed his glass of wine in front of Ye Mu: "Would you like to dip it with your chopsticks?"
Ye Mu had drunk a lot of good wines in the interstellar space, but he had never tasted such a simple-to-make wine. He was just curious.
So he tasted it, and immediately squinted his eyes and frowned, with a look of disgust on his face, which made Mr. Xu laugh.
Song Yanzhou chuckled and brought the glass of wine back, knowing that she wouldn't like it.
After dinner, the midday sun was too hot, so Mr. Xu asked Song Yanzhou and Ye Mu to stay at home to rest.
In addition, Mr. Xu wanted to organize some information and books for Ye Mu, and he would ask Song Yanzhou to take them back to the military region later.
Song Yanzhou cleaned up a room for Ye Mu to take a nap, and then sorted out Mr. Xu's books with him.
"Take these back with you and let Ye Mu take a look at them when she's free. After you send Ye Mu back, bring this box of parts back to her. Maybe she can figure out something else with it."
This time, Mr. Xu specially picked one for Ye Mu. At the same time, he slowly told Mr. Xu about Ye Mu's situation one by one.
After listening to this, Mr. Xu sighed and said:
"So this is why you suddenly got married. I thought you and Ye Mu fell in love during a blind date."
Song Yanzhou said: "You accepted Ye Mu as your student. If Ye Mu's identity is used to attack her one day..."
Before he could finish, Mr. Xu said, "Don't worry, this girl is not a spy. I have seen a lot of people. If that day really comes, I will definitely not let anyone bully my students for no reason."
"The country needs talents, and we should recruit talents regardless of their background. Ye Mu's talent is rare in a century. Just wait and see. It won't be long before this matter is exposed. I will definitely not be the only one in the institute protecting her."
With Mr. Xu's words, Song Yanzhou felt completely relieved.
