Chapter 573 I've Actually Seen It
Hearing this, Ji Zixuan's expression became even more reserved.
Huang Weiwei smiled and led the three of them into the house.
In the living room, there was a large old-fashioned long chopping board. Two middle-aged couples and Huang Yichen were making dumplings, while an energetic old man, leaning on a cane, watched with a smile.
The whole family was very warm to Ji Yuanyuan and the other two.
Especially towards Ji Zixuan, he was particularly enthusiastic.
After all, this family is more or less engaged in mathematics-related industries.
Huang Weiwei praised Ji Zixuan as something amazing again.
After chatting about family matters for a while, the old man turned the topic to mathematics.
The two people were chatting enthusiastically, and Ji Yuanyuan felt like she was listening to a mystery.
She looked at Qin Mucheng quietly and asked in a low voice: "Can you understand?"
Qin Mucheng could still understand part of it. After all, before the college entrance examination, he had been studying mathematics and participated in many Mathematical Olympiads.
However, one look at Ji Yuanyuan's expression revealed that she didn't understand.
If she was the only one present who didn't understand, she would definitely feel embarrassed.
So, after a little thought, Qin Mucheng lied and said, "I don't understand!"
Sure enough, after Qin Mucheng finished speaking, Ji Yuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "I always feel that the old man looks familiar, as if I have seen him somewhere before."
Qin Mucheng shook his head: "I probably haven't seen it."
Over there, the conversation between the old man and Ji Zixuan quickly attracted two middle-aged men.
They stopped wrapping dumplings and both of them came over to join the conversation.
The position was vacant, and Ji Yuanyuan rolled up her sleeves and said, "Senior, let's help too."
Huang Weiwei shook her head: "No, it's almost done, don't get involved."
Then he looked at Huang Yichen and said, "You accompany Yuanyuan and the others."
Huang Yichen patted the flour on his hands and pulled Qin Mucheng to sit next to him: "Don't be polite, just treat it as your own home."
Both mothers were very gentle. While wrapping dumplings, they instructed: "There are snacks in the cupboard. Yichen, take them out."
"Turn on the TV and find the channel you like."
…
Huang Yichen was busy running around, which made Ji Yuanyuan and Qin Mucheng feel a little uncomfortable.
I agreed to come and help make dumplings, but in the end I couldn't help at all.
Over there, the old man got more and more excited as he spoke: "When I was still teaching at University B, I studied this topic with Lao Geng. We studied it for several years but didn't come up with any results. Later, I became discouraged and came to Country M. I thought Lao Geng had given up on this topic, but I didn't expect that he met you and you guys actually made some progress with it."
Huang Weiwei's father also sighed, "If you and Uncle Geng can solve this problem, it will be of great help to our country's aerospace industry."
Ji Yuanyuan knew the Old Geng or Uncle Geng they were talking about.
He is a very famous old professor in the School of Mathematics, but he rarely teaches students now.
Only Ji Zixuan was an exception in front of him.
In his sophomore year, Professor Geng made an exception and accepted Ji Zixuan to work with him on research projects.
But what I didn’t expect was that Professor Geng was an old friend of Huang Weiwei’s grandfather.
Huang Weiwei is indeed low-key and never deliberately shows off her family background.
"This old Geng, I really didn't expect it..." The old man sighed, "If I hadn't given up in 2003 and hadn't come to Country M, maybe I would be..."
"Don't think like that. Your health has always been poor, and you came to Country M for the sake of your health." Huang Weiwei's father advised.
Ji Yuanyuan was listening to the conversation between several people, and suddenly she thought of something.
She finally understood why she felt Huang Weiwei's grandfather looked familiar. They had actually met before.
"Grandpa Huang, what you said just now reminded me that I have met you before." Ji Yuanyuan found the opportunity and spoke at the right time.
The old man perked up when he heard this: "Oh? When have we met before?"
"You just said that you came to Country M in 2003. Did you sell a house before coming to Country M?"
The old man was stunned for a moment: "Yes."
"Do you remember that a couple, their sister, brother-in-law, and two nephews came to your house to look at it? The sister knew that you were a professor at B University, and she asked you a lot of questions."
After being reminded by Ji Yuanyuan, the old man remembered: "Yes, it is said that the eldest son in the family has good academic performance and may go to University B in the future. Is that little girl you?"
Ji Yuanyuan nodded: "Yes, it was me and my second brother who went with my parents to look at the house. My eldest brother was about to take the college entrance examination, so we didn't let him go."
The old man smiled and marveled at the magic of fate.
However, after laughing, he felt a little sad: "I am just not as lucky as Lao Geng. Our two families have this fate. If Zixuan could go to City B back then, we could have met. Maybe I would have changed my mind, but... in the end, Zixuan still became Lao Geng's student."
The old man was just deceiving himself when he said that. Even if he had met Ji Zixuan once, how could he change his mind just because of a child he had only met once?
Huang Yichen saw that his grandfather was beginning to feel sad again, so he quickly made a joke to cheer him up: "It doesn't matter, you still have a chance. Grandpa Geng is just Brother Zixuan's teacher."
The old man was a little surprised when he heard this: "What do you mean?"
"What I mean is, my sister and Brother Zixuan are classmates. If we can go one step further, we will be a family in the future. Isn't that closer than the relationship between Brother Zixuan and Grandpa Geng?"
After Huang Yichen finished speaking, the old man's eyes lit up.
He looked at Ji Zixuan excitedly and asked, "Zixuan, do you have a partner?"
Before Ji Zixuan could say anything, Huang Weiwei said, "Okay, Grandpa, if you keep asking, he might not even dare to eat dinner at our house."
Huang Weiwei's father also said: "Yes, children have their own way of getting along with each other. You talk too much and make them uncomfortable."
The old man looked a little embarrassed, and then started talking to Ji Zixuan about the topic he and Professor Geng were working on.
This topic was originally studied by the old man and Professor Geng.
Therefore, there are many topics to talk about without revealing the core information.
However, even so, the old man's enthusiasm still made Ji Zixuan a little overwhelmed.
After dinner, after sitting at the Huang family for a while, Ji Zixuan took Qin Mucheng and Ji Yuanyuan back home.
On the way back, Ji Yuanyuan thought more and more about it and felt it was a pity.
If Mr. Huang hadn't left, my eldest brother might be his student now.
The student and the teacher's granddaughter, what a sweet combination.
Unfortunately, the old man passed away, and the eldest brother and Huang Weiwei ended up being just ordinary classmates.
