"What's wrong with Mom?" Qin Ying was confused. She didn't understand what was going on and why her mother was so excited.
"Our mother may be impatient." Su Aimin said with a smile.
"What?" Qin Ying still didn't understand.
"Mom is the first person in our family to have a job."
"Huh?" Qin Ying's eyes widened. Mom has a job? What's going on?
Su Aimin briefly explained the whole story.
After hearing this, Qin Ying was also happy for Wu Guixiang, "Mom, this job is really good and suitable for you." She knew what the street mediator did. After thinking about it carefully, she felt that she was really suitable for her mother-in-law. She understood the situation of every household, was reasonable, and could distinguish right from wrong. Most importantly, her mother-in-law could calm the situation. She was perfect for the job.
"Of course not," Wu Guixiang raised her head proudly. "Since they've chosen me, of course I have to go. What's the saying? This is serving the people. It's an incredible honor!"
She spoke so righteously that the whole family couldn't help laughing.
"Okay, Ai Min is doing business now, and you go to work in the street, and I will graduate soon and start working. Everyone has their own things to do, except Dad..." Qin Ying looked at Su Dalin, a little hesitant.
She has been married into the Su family for so many years, and her father-in-law has always been a man of few words, as silent as a mountain. He rarely speaks, but never lets anyone ignore his presence. But Qin Ying is a little worried now. Everyone in the family has something to do now. Will her father-in-law feel lonely?
"Don't worry about your father." Wu Guixiang waved her hand and said, "He has his own things to do."
"What?" Su Aimin was stunned. "What else does Dad do?" He now realized that the old couple in his family had hidden a lot of things from them.
"Well? Lao Su, tell me yourself." Wu Guixiang said.
Su Dalin put down his teacup, expressionless, and said slowly, "Nothing much, I just have to participate in a competition in a couple of days."
"Contest?!"
"Contest?!"
Su Aimin and Qin Ying were both dumbfounded.
"No, Dad, tell me clearly, what competition are you participating in?" Su Aimin felt that his brain was almost unable to keep up.
With so many people in the family, he wouldn't be surprised if anyone said they wanted to participate in a competition, but he really couldn't imagine what kind of competition his father could participate in?
"Well, it's not a big competition." Wu Guixiang was anxious when she saw Su Dalin's slow pace, so she explained for him, "It's just a chess competition organized by a group of people, but there are quite a few people participating. Oh, and there's a prize money. Your father must be interested."
"Play chess?" Qin Ying was stunned and asked Su Dalin, "Dad, when did you learn to play chess? How come we didn't know?"
"Yeah, I don't know either."
"How could I know, since you two go out early and come back late every day?" Wu Guixiang laughed. "Your father's daily pleasure now is to go to the park to play chess with others. He goes no matter if it's windy or rainy. He's been playing chess for almost a year now. They all say your father's chess skills are pretty good, otherwise they wouldn't let him participate in this competition."
After coming to the capital, the old couple no longer had to work in the fields. They just did the housework casually. Apart from that, they had a lot of free time every day. Su Dalin was not like Wu Guixiang, who liked to watch the lively family life. He often wandered around by himself. During this stroll, he found the chess stalls in the park, and he became interested as he looked at them.
Gradually, he went to watch people play chess every day, rain or shine, and he gradually got the hang of it and learned a lot. Most of the people playing chess were elderly people, and they all praised Su Dalin for his talent in chess and were happy to help him. This competition was an amateur competition organized by those chess lovers in Beijing, so everyone encouraged Su Dalin to participate.
When Wu Guixiang said this, Su Aimin immediately felt a little ashamed.
His father had always enjoyed smoking tobacco and drinking a little wine. How could he have developed a hobby like chess, and he hadn't even noticed? How negligent!
"Dad, when is your competition held? Let's all go and watch it and cheer for you." Su Aimin said immediately.
"Don't be in a hurry." Su Dalin said slowly, "Wait until I have a few more matches and advance a few places before you come."
It would be too embarrassing to be eliminated from the competition at the very beginning. I'd better play a few more games first.
"Oh, you're quite confident." Su Aimin was happy. "Okay, then we'll go and see after you play a few more rounds."
"Yeah." Su Dalin nodded with satisfaction.
Qin Ying looked at the scene and smiled. It was great that everyone had their own things to do, so their time was not wasted, and they didn't have to worry about not having time to accompany the elderly.
In this way, time passed little by little, and everyone was working hard for their own goals.
Su Qingyun was also working hard. They were busy and absorbed in experiments. The passage of time was so unaware to them that it felt like they were in the mountains without any time passing by.
"Qingyun, the results of this afternoon's material experiment are very important. You must do a good statistical analysis." Zhang Sida instructed Su Qingyun.
"I understand." Su Qingyun nodded seriously, "Don't worry."
"Of course I trust you to do your job." Zhang Sida said deliberately, "When we join forces as master and disciple, we are simply invincible."
Su Qingyun was amused. She smiled and nodded, "Yes, invincible."
If all scientific research could be summarized by these four words, there wouldn’t be so many detours and twists and turns. But if that were the case, it might not be called scientific research, it would be called daydreaming.
Su Qingyun smiled because of his strange thoughts.
"However, our experimental data is becoming increasingly massive. If this continues, it will exceed our calculation capacity and bring more difficulties to our experiment." Zhang Sida frowned as he thought about this problem. "We must find a solution."
"I'll talk to the director about this later and see if there's any way to resolve it."
"Okay." Su Qingyun nodded.
She sighed in her heart. In fact, analyzing these experimental data would be a very simple task in the future. All she had to do was run it on a computer, and the results would appear clearly. However, the current level of computers still needed to be improved.
"Let's go, let's eat first."
"good."
The master and disciple walked towards the cafeteria while talking.
Outside the window, the wind and sand are blowing high, and the whole place is yellow. Because of their persistence, this place is not only a harsh place, but also a place of hope.
