Haicheng in 1976
Mr. Qian, who was standing nearby, usually didn't like attending these kinds of meetings, so he also tilted his head and fell asleep...
One old and one young, one of them leaning to one side, looking like they are sleeping head to head, so soundly!
Old Mrs. Meng, who was sitting in the back, looked at the two people sleeping soundly and started breathing heavily.
Then……
When Lu Chengxun clapped excitedly and turned to look at Bai Lu, his whole body was about to break.
Looking at Mr. Qian and then Mrs. Meng, Lu Chengxun's three views were refreshed. Then, an elderly man came over with a bent waist and poked his arm with his index finger, "Lu kid."
"Master Hua? Why are you here..."
"Let's change seats. You go to my seat to listen, and I'll sleep here with them." Hua Lao's voice was very low.
Lu Chengxun couldn't say a word. He looked at Hua Lao seriously, then stood up and moved Hua Lao's position.
The speech session lasted for more than an hour, and the four of them slept for more than an hour.
This continued until the speech ended. People in the venue began to leave. When someone came over to say hello, Lu Chengxun realized the seriousness of the problem and quickly woke up all four people.
"Is dinner ready?" Bai Lu asked Lu Chengxun in a daze.
Lu Chengxun: ...
"? You were just eating."
Bai Lu moved her mouth, it seemed like that, but in winter, she hadn't eaten any hot food, so no matter how much cold food she ate, her stomach would still feel empty...
What should I do if I want to eat?
"You are so impulsive, young man! It's normal for a little girl to get hungry easily. She is still growing." After teaching Lu Chengxun a lesson, Mr. Hua reached out from his side and pulled out a cloth bag, handing it to Bai Lu. He smiled, revealing his white teeth, and looked very honest and kind. "Here are two jars of sauce made by your grandmother. You can use it with rice, noodles, or even steamed buns!"
Bailu's eyebrows wrinkled like a caterpillar. Why did all these grandparents bring her food today?
After saying thank you, her eyes fell on Lu Chengxun's face, and her tone was firm, "You just didn't tell me something."
Lu Chengxun: ...
His face was pale, and he felt strangely that he was in his thirties, so how could he feel the pressure from a girl who was not even twenty years old?
"Let's eat. Let's have lunch here. There's a symposium this afternoon. There's something I didn't tell you. The seminar has added a ten-minute segment where you need to give a speech on the future direction of automotive development."
This was the idea of the event organizer from Beijing City after he was forced to change his position just now. That person was not in good health now and did not come this time, but he asked someone to call and praise Bai Lu, saying: Talented people emerge in every generation, and each of them leads the trend for hundreds of years!
This is the highest compliment!
Lu Chengxun felt mixed emotions.
Bai Lu was surprised for a moment and asked curiously, "Are you really going to let me tell you?"
Lu Chengxun had a bad feeling, "You're not going to say that, are you?"
"How could that be." Bai Lu smiled gently, but her heart was full of twists and turns. The cunning in her eyes surged again and again, ready to burst out.
Lu Chengxun said, "Auntie, the people who came to this event are all the current leaders of China. You may think it's nothing fancy, but the venue is full of plainclothes soldiers. Aside from a few staff members, the rest are either researchers or security personnel. You..."
"You don't believe me?" Bai Lu raised her eyebrows.
Lu Chengxun swallowed what he was about to say and said nothing more.
At lunch, Bai Lu finally got to see what the solar system is.
She was originally sitting at a side table. When Elder Feng came back, he switched seats with a young researcher to her left whom she didn't know. The old man looked at Bai Lu with such loving eyes...
"Old Feng, my father's name is Bai Zhuo, and my grandfather's name is Xu Yuzhen. They and I are related by blood. I am definitely their biological child."
Mr. Feng:?
"I'm researching explosives at the Longshang Research Base. I've seen your engine drawings and I think you have a very high talent for math and physics. Would you like to consider coming to me and learn how to research explosives? I'll definitely teach you everything I know!" Old Feng said seriously.
Bai Lu smiled awkwardly. It turned out that he was here to recruit a disciple...
She shook her head and said, "I can't bear hardship. Life in Longshan is too hard."
Old Feng sighed.
The hot dishes had not yet been served, but after Master Feng started talking, Master Qian also came over.
"How is it? Has Comrade Bai Lu agreed to come to our research base?" Old Qian also found a young researcher to change seats and sat over.
Old Feng shook his head.
Lu Chengxun felt bitter, but he couldn't say anything in front of so many veteran researchers. He could only keep an eye on Bai Lu's movements.
Then, Mr. Hua, Mrs. Meng, Mr. Yuan...
It was originally a side table, but eventually became the main table. Some people felt it was not enough and brought their stools to squeeze in and sit together.
Tian Zhiye: ...
Lu Chengxun stood by and had no place to sit.
Bai Lu took the opportunity to throw out some knowledge points that she felt would not make her money in the future but would benefit these veteran researchers.
From the formula of nuclear fusion to the principle of substation, astronomy and geography, he said half and kept the other half hidden. It seemed to be his own opinion, but in fact he put forward a completely feasible hypothesis and carried out a large part of the proof of the hypothesis.
Finally, the research on antibiotics and its importance to the future development and progress of medicine were mentioned.
As everyone chatted, they started talking!
Someone suddenly mentioned that if Lao Zhang were still alive, he would probably be here now, joining in the fun with everyone.
Then, everyone fell silent.
Bai Lu, who had been silent the whole time, became interested and asked Lu Chengxun who was standing behind her, "Who is Lao Zhang?"
"The number one antibiotics expert in China." Although Lu Chengxun's voice was low, it was still heard by Mrs. Meng, who was sitting next to Bai Lu and was the last one to drive Lu Chengxun away.
"The medicine Lao Zhang developed saved countless lives, but unfortunately... until now, we often don't want to get together. I feel sad and angry, alas."
An old researcher's eyes turned red as he spoke, and the eyes of the others also turned red. The table suddenly fell silent, a sudden break from the previous restlessness.
Biochemical researcher Zhang, historian Li, literary critic Chen, writer Lao She, translator and his wife, archaeologist Chen, Peking opera actor Ma, classical literature professor Liu, linguist Liu, lyricist Tian...
At the round table, one name after another was spoken out like a relay.
Death in vain!
The bowls piled high up in front of her were an eyesore. Bai Lu lowered her head, finished everything in her bowl, stood up, and said to the grandparents, uncles, and other people at the table, "It's darkest before dawn. Giving up is foolish."
Some people were standing there in a daze, some were at a loss whether to laugh or cry, some were crying and gasping for breath, and some were looking at Bai Lu and making eye contact with her.
The silent atmosphere was inexplicably stirred by this sentence, and everyone at the table looked at Bai Lu, like stars surrounding the moon.
