I told my mother about this because I wanted to see her reaction and whether she would disapprove of the fact that the girl is so much older than me or something like that.
But I don't think she is much older than me. Don't people say that a woman three years older than me is a gold brick? Why can't I hold two gold bricks?
Maybe my mother had already believed that I would be like Uncle Lu Zhien and not date or get married, so when I found a girlfriend who was six years older than me, my mother not only did not object, but also acted like I had finally figured it out.
But while she was relieved, she still quietly asked me, "Son, tell me, are you dating someone just to do an experiment?"
It seemed that she was really worried. After I repeatedly assured her that we were not dating for the purpose of experimenting, she finally felt relieved and let me take good care of myself.
I think the biggest difference between my mother and Uncle Lu Zhien’s mother is that my mother never restricts my freedom.
In the past, when Uncle Lu Zhien didn’t look for a partner, his mother wasn’t in a hurry and kept telling him to find a certain girl.
Later, his mother became anxious and lowered her requirements, saying that as long as the person had decent character and was not ugly, she would not accept him.
Now his mother doesn’t even dare to worry, for fear that if she urges him to find a partner, he will hide back in the laboratory and not come home for several months or even half a year.
I can't do what he does. I feel like I'm a very homely person. I must go home before and after an experiment, unless my parents and sister are not at home.
In fact, even I find the process of being with my partner incredible.
I always thought that I might like someone who is very smart, like me, who knows everything very quickly. When I say one sentence, she can immediately guess the next sentence, just like the daughter of the tutor in the laboratory next door.
Before I started dating, she also showed great interest in me.
But after a few days of communication, I no longer had the desire to continue the relationship.
It turns out that being with someone who can guess what you haven't said is such a terrifying thing.
She is also a smart person. After she noticed that I was no longer enthusiastic, she didn't communicate with me much, except that she would occasionally come to ask me about some experimental data.
It was also from her that I learned that there was a sister in their laboratory who was not very talented but very hardworking. I often heard her complain that if she couldn't do it, she shouldn't do it, and every time they had to redo what she had done.
I couldn't help but ask her, "Does she make mistakes every time? Is it intentional or is she really just not talented? Does she work hard but still make mistakes?"
"It's not like she gets it wrong every time, but she made a mistake in a very simple calculation before, which caused our subsequent experiments to fail completely."
When she said that, I understood.
Because a person made a small mistake, which led to a big consequence, the people in the team no longer trust this person. Even if she did it unintentionally, even if she tried very hard to do everything well, she is no longer worthy of staying in that team.
I strongly disagree with their behavior, but I didn't say anything. After all, he is not on my team, and no matter what I say, people will say that he didn't hit me and I don't feel the pain.
Later, one time, a research project our lab was doing required a lot of basic calculations, and we were seriously short of manpower, so my supervisor went to borrow some people from next door.
One of their experiments was also in a critical period. The other members of the team held important positions, but she was a burden to them, so they borrowed her.
Thinking of what someone on their team had told me before, I decided to keep an eye on that girl's calculations whenever I had free time.
I know this is a very distrustful and impolite behavior, but this experiment is very important and cannot afford any mistakes.
But after I watched her a few times, I found that she didn't make any mistakes, and the people in our laboratory were already working very, very hard, and she could easily keep up.
Before she was loaned here, I felt a bit of sympathy for her. After all, because of a mistake she made when she first joined the group, she could no longer integrate into the team. This punishment was really too severe.
After I found that she could keep up, I stopped staring at her. What really caught my attention was that once when the experiment reached a critical point and everyone was very tired, if we relaxed a little at this time, the experiment might fail, and failure of the experiment meant we had to start over again.
Everyone was in a state of high spirits, but there were always times when they couldn't take it anymore. Every time they felt they couldn't go on, the people in the group would help each other and watch over them to take a break.
Only she would take some Fengyoujing as soon as she felt sleepy during those days. She never fell behind and never bothered others.
Sometimes I couldn't bear to watch it anymore and wanted to help her watch it for a while so that she could have a rest, but she refused every time.
She also said: "I was not originally a member of your group. You are willing to let me participate and occasionally trust me to do some core calculations. This is already a great help to me. I can't cause you any more trouble."
She is hard-working, sensible, and able to keep up with the progress. Who said she has no talent? It is really a waste of talent to put her in the laboratory next door.
After the experiment was over, I told my supervisor about it. He said there was nothing we could do because the lab next door had something they wanted, and other supervisors had tried to poach her several times, but they were attracted by her stubbornness. What could we do if she refused to leave?
