Zhong Yuxiu picked up a pen at random, followed Professor Ding, and sat down on the stool to the left of Professor Zheng. They each took out a test paper and opened it. The papers were bound, so there was no need to worry about losing them.
"I have the answers here, one for each of you." Professor Zheng gave each of them a standard answer.
"Okay, thank you Professor Zheng." After expressing her gratitude, Zhong Yuxiu took it and placed it next to her.
Professor Ding also took up the question. Everyone knew what the questions were and it didn’t matter whether they used the answers or not.
Zhong Yuxiu did not participate in setting the questions, but she has a good brain and is very skilled in calculating various physics formulas. When grading test papers, she can calculate in her mind just by glancing at the questions. As for the answer, she only took a glance and then compared the result calculated in her brain with the answer.
Being young, she had quick eyes and hands, and her brain could keep up; she graded the papers much faster than the two old professors. While the two of them had only finished grading one, Zhong Yuxiu had already finished reading three. Sometimes, when she saw new interpretations and insights, she would write her opinions and suggestions under the questions.
The moment Professor Zheng looked up, he inadvertently saw the thickness of the test paper she had corrected, and reached out to poke Professor Ding.
Professor Ding was puzzled. Professor Zheng looked at Professor Ding and nodded slightly in the direction of Zhong Yuxiu. Professor Ding looked over and was also shocked. Looking at the time again, only twenty minutes had passed. Zhong Yuxiu had at least finished grading half of the papers.
The two looked at each other and read surprise in each other's eyes.
"Please advise me not to work so hard." Professor Zheng lowered his voice.
Professor Ding nodded and was about to speak when Zhong Yuxiu overheard their conversation. "Don't worry, professors. I'm moving at a normal speed."
"Normal?" Isn't it abnormal?
Professor Ding looked at Zhong Yuxiu, suddenly understood, and spoke calmly to smooth things over.
"Yuxiu is smart, young, and has better eyesight than us; it's normal for her to see faster."
Zhong Yuxiu smiled gratefully at Professor Ding and lowered her head to continue grading the papers.
Professor Zheng was skeptical and stared at Zhong Yuxiu for a long time. Seeing that she was still so fast, he believed Professor Ding's words 70% and moved closer to Professor Ding to ask in a low voice.
"Is Comrade Zhong particularly clever?"
"Um."
Professor Ding nodded expressionlessly, he was too calm and emotionless; Professor Zheng had a guess in his mind that Comrade Zhong was not just smart, he must be extremely smart, otherwise he could not do this.
He couldn't do it when he was young. Instead, because he was too cautious, he often slowed down.
Zhong Yuxiu's speed is abnormally fast.
"Hurry up and correct the papers. There are so many of them. We don't know when they will get here." Professor Ding urged when he saw this.
"Okay." Professor Zheng withdrew his gaze, lowered his head to correct the papers, his mind still on Zhong Yuxiu.
After working for more than half an hour, Zhong Yuxiu finished revising a stack of papers and threw them aside, then took a new stack. At this time, two professors came in from outside. They had smiles on their faces. One was tall, the other short, one old, the other young, and their figures and temperaments were very similar.
"Professor Ding, Professor Zheng, you are here so early!" One of the taller middle-aged professors spoke.
Zhong Yuxiu turned her head to look at the two of them and put down her pen. The middle-aged professor was about 1.73 meters tall, with a thin figure that made him look taller, and his features were bright.
The old professor had gray hair, cloudy eyes, a pale face, and looked weak. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he was severely depleted, internally weak, and had many hidden injuries. He seemed to be even thinner than a middle-aged man.
"Lao Ding, Lao Zheng, you came earlier than us. Have you arranged things for your class?" the old professor asked.
Professor Ding smiled and said, "I'll leave it to the class leaders."
"I've also handed it over to the class leaders in my class." Professor Zheng agreed, "Come and sit down, and we'll help you grade the papers."
"Okay." The old professor and the middle-aged professor each took a pen and sat down across from Professor Ding and Zhong Yuxiu. Then they looked at Zhong Yuxiu and asked, "Is this Comrade Zhong Yuxiu? We met briefly before."
Zhong Yuxiu understood, as the professor had passed the exam once when she first took the skipping grade exam.
"Hello, professors. My name is Zhong Yuxiu. I'm your senior, so please take care of me in the future."
"As you should. We're all familiar with your name, and your research is selling very well. Someone in my family also bought one. It's a bit pricey, but it's really useful," the old professor praised with admiration. "Even an old man like me can drive it. I just need to tell it the route and keep my balance. The electric scooter's sensors can detect danger and avoid pedestrians. It's useful for everyone, young and old."
Professor Zheng chuckled, "Old Ding, why don't you introduce me?"
Zhong Yuxiu was brought up by Professor Ding, so Professor Zheng did not try to take over the job of introduction.
Professor Ding put down his pen, crossed his arms, and said with a smile, "Comrade Zhong, let me introduce you. This old professor's surname is Tian, you can just call him Professor Tian. The one next to him is Professor Jiang. They both studied abroad and are both very knowledgeable people."
"Old Ding, are you embarrassing me by saying that?" Professor Tian laughed, then turned to Zhong Yuxiu and said, "What do you mean by profound knowledge? It's just that you've seen and experienced a lot. You're old and experienced, but outwardly it really looks like that."
Zhong Yuxiu was amused. This old professor was an interesting person.
Professor Jiang shook his head. "I wouldn't call myself a learned man, I've just read a few more books. Comrade Zhong, are you acclimating to Huada? I heard you went to medical school to study medicine. We were quite saddened by your presence."
"You know that too?" Zhong Yuxiu looked at Professor Ding.
"What are you looking at me for?" Professor Ding said with a smile, "It's not that I'm a big mouth, it's that your choice is incomprehensible to too many people, and they are one of them."
Professor Tian and Professor Jiang nodded in agreement with what Professor Ding said.
"Comrade Zhong, you have an extraordinary talent for physics. Why did you choose to study medicine?" Professor Jiang asked directly, without any hesitation. "Medical science can cure diseases and save lives, but what our country needs most right now is technology. We need to grow stronger."
At present, the word "technology" is very avant-garde and not as popular as it is in later generations.
Zhong Yuxiu felt uncomfortable, and she wasn't familiar with him. "If you want to learn, then just learn. Do you need a specific reason?"
"Comrade Zhong, Professor Jiang has no intention of questioning you. It's just that we are very curious about why you insist on studying medical theory. Please don't be offended. Professor Jiang is a man of few words. He has suffered a lot because of his overly straightforward character." Professor Tian spoke softly and gently.
Professor Jiang paused for a moment, "I'm sorry."
"Comrade Zhong has her own reasons for choosing medicine. We are not involved, so there is no need for us to understand or question her. What she chooses to study and do is her freedom. She has the right to choose her own life," Professor Ding said. "We cannot support her, but please do not make assumptions about others."
