Manhattan Reborn 1978

David's backyard.

He looked at his good friend Tim and whispered, "Little Red Riding Hood, pretty, the most beautiful, star-struck, like her."

David stopped smiling and looked at Black Mike.

This kind of mindless liking. . .

The most speechless!

Black Mike smiled and shrugged: "Then find a chance to let them meet, and Franklin can deal with her if he comes forward!"

David choked on his words.

Of course he knew it could be solved with money.

But looking at Tim's current posture, it's obviously not a matter of sleeping or not.

David felt that instead of guessing, it would be better to ask directly.

"Tim, do you want to meet Lori and ask her to be your girlfriend? Is that right?"

Tim's face turned red and he hesitated for a while.

"I have thought so before."

"Ever thought about it? What about now?"

Tim fell silent.

Got it!

David thinks he needs help~!

Who can I ask for help to straighten out this kid's mind?

David and Black Mike looked at each other, and they could only comfort him first.

"Lori may not be able to return to New York for a few days. As soon as we see her, we will make an appointment with her for you to meet!"

"You mustn't lie to me, man!"

"okok, we will definitely make arrangements for you, and the arrangements will be clear!"

After the two raised their bottles and made repeated promises, the three drank beer.

While Tim went to get a beer.

Black Mike asked David: "What can you do?"

"I have a damn solution! Let's do this for now. I'll go back and ask Harvey. He should be able to think of a solution."

"Hehe, if we can't help it, let them meet."

"Haha, let's meet, sleep for a while, and then what? Virtues? Get married?"

"Then let them get married. Who hasn't been hurt yet?"

David looked sideways: "Hey, do you still have this kind of past? Tell me about it!"

"Go away! Talk about Tim!"

"What are you talking about! That Lori smokes, drinks, and does drugs. She may have slept with more men than we have ever seen. What can I say?"

"Then help her change it and it will be over soon?"

"You still want to appear in front of them as a savior? Black Mike, you really have an idea~!"

"David, why don't you understand? Let them get in touch first, and then we can see how Tim behaves. If he really wants to marry Lori, we can't stop him, and you can't His dad."

"I'm not his father, so I have to take care of him. He's my friend!"

"What? You are still discriminating against Lori!"

David smacked his lips: "Discrimination shouldn't count, but the life she lives like this is her own choice, and we can't change anything."

Black Mike followed: "If you don't try, how do you know she can't do it?"

David was silent.

There wasn't much real contact between him and Lowry.

He just judged this matter based on his previous fixed thinking.

Want to try it?

Just try it!

"Okay, then when we get back to New York, help me keep an eye on this matter!"

"Haha~ ok buddy."

At this time, Tim handed over the beer from behind: "What are you talking about, man!"

"We're talking about how to arrange a meeting for you."

"Haha, thank you!..."

Tim started talking again about how he loved Lori's nagging. . .

David and Black Mike hummed and nodded.

He really possessed him.

After a while.

Finally Tim stopped rambling. .

Old Wesson came over: "David, your father and I have agreed that we will go to the river to play at noon the day after tomorrow. How about you here? Can you arrange the time?"

"No problem, let's go the day after tomorrow."

David looked at Old Wesson and remembered something.

"Do you know where I can look up some old newspapers or information when I'm in town?"

Old Wesson asked curiously: "What are you looking for? Old news? Or some professional information?"

David thought for a while: "Actually, I don't have a specific goal, because I have to rest at home for a few days, and I just want to look for some information I can find."

"Haha, what are you looking for in the town? Go to the library at nearby Princeton University and look for it! There should be something you are interested in there."

what! ~

Yes!

Princeton University is very close to the town, just a twenty-minute drive away.

It's much closer than New York.

"Um, but I've never been to campus, let alone the library."

"It doesn't matter. Side works in the university library. She can take you in to have a look."

"Really? Wow, that's awesome old Wesson!"

"Haha, I asked her to come over and let her talk to you."

After saying that, Old Wesson called over a well-maintained middle-aged beauty.

He introduces Sidé to David and Black Mike.

David asked about going to the library to look up information.

Xide didn't hesitate and agreed directly.

So the two agreed that tomorrow happened to be Monday, and Xide would be waiting for David at home tomorrow morning, and then they would go to Princeton together.

After settling this matter, David chatted with the two for a while about going on a picnic the day after tomorrow.

Old David and Sierra also came over, and everyone discussed the matter together.

The happy time always flies by quickly.

In a blink of an eye, the charcoal fire was extinguished.

The party has also come to an end.

The guests tonight expressed their gratitude to the host, said goodbye and left.

Old David and Sierra were at the door after seeing off all the guests.

The two sisters quickly started tidying up the backyard.

David was particularly relaxed and happy tonight. .

amount.

If it weren't for Tim's thing, tonight would be a perfect party.

hehe~

Although Black Mike drinks as much as David, he is a much stronger drinker than David.

He was also helping the two sisters clean up.

Old David saw David sitting next to him and giggling, so he asked him to go upstairs to wash up and go to bed.

"I'm so drunk that I'm still sitting here in the way!"

"Get out of here, didn't you make an appointment with Xide to go to college tomorrow morning?"

David shook his head and pulled his mother, Sierra, for a hug and went upstairs to sleep.

He went to the second floor, washed briefly, then went back to the house and climbed into bed.

Monday morning.

The sun shines into the bedroom.

David felt very thirsty.

He drank several kinds of beers last night. As soon as he mixed them together, he started to get drunk and became dizzy.

He stood up and rubbed his head.

After getting dressed, I walked out of the bedroom and wanted to go to the restaurant downstairs to find some water first.

Unexpectedly, my mother, Sera, was already busy in the restaurant.

Sister Salonia was also there to help.

David walked into the kitchen, picked up the glass of water and drank it.

Seeing the mother and daughter sigh, this must be the reason why my mother likes these two sisters.

Salonia is well-behaved, obedient, and very diligent and capable.

Loisa is a clever little ghost who brings long-lost joy to David and Sera.

With them at home, David felt relieved.

The two people in the kitchen looked at David who was drinking water. Sierra said: "Don't drink so much next time. You snored too loudly last night."

Salonia next to her also nodded her little head, it was so loud!

Tucao from the official!

"Haha, I haven't been as relaxed as last night these days, so I drank a little more."

"Well, come home when you are tired, and don't pay too much attention to business matters. Your father and I are both proud of you!"

David felt as if his head didn't hurt anymore.

Mother Sierra would never have said these words before.

Could it be that her mother was also possessed by a time traveler?

"Uh. Okay, thank you mom!"

He stepped forward and hugged his mother. How could he refuse the family's concern?

"Okay, let's go take a shower. We won't have enough time in a while."

"Okay! Take care of Black Mike today. I'll go find Xide later."

"go Go."

David took the juice from Salonia and drank it.

My head doesn't hurt so much anymore.

He turned and went upstairs, washed and changed clothes, and packed his backpack and the notebook inside.

I went downstairs to have breakfast and took the lunch bag prepared by my mother.

After saying goodbye to them, David walked out.

Mom looked at David walking away at the door.

Salonia held her arm behind her and looked at David's back.

Old Wesson's home is not far from David's house, only a ten-minute walk away.

Along the way, he faced the morning light, breathed in the fresh air, and looked at the weeds and wild flowers on the roadside.

It's like returning to childhood again.

When she arrived at the door of Old Wesson's house, Sidé was ready and waiting for him.

David was polite to her, and the two got in the car and went straight to Princeton University.

On the way, Sidney gave David a brief introduction to the university and the Ivy League.

The Ivy League originally refers to a sports league composed of eight colleges and universities in the northeastern United States.

Later, it was given new meaning.

It refers to a consortium of universities that consists of these seven universities and one college.

The eight institutions include: Harvard University, Yale University, University of Pennsylvania, Princeton University, Columbia University, Cornell University, Brown University and Dartmouth College.

These eight Ivy League schools are private universities that, like public universities, receive federal funding and private donations for academic research.

Princeton was founded in 1745 as the College of New Jersey.

In 1756, it was moved to its current location on the beautiful campus.

In 1896, it officially changed its name to: Princeton University.

It is located between New York and Philadelphia. It is one of the few core universities in the United States established in a non-big city.

It is only a quarter the size of Harvard University.

It has repeatedly won the No. 1 ranking of the best universities in the United States.

In many university selections around the world, its best result has been No. 7.

There are too many other honors to list here.

According to Side, Princeton’s admissions process is extremely rigorous.

It is the second most rigorous university in the United States in terms of admissions, second only to MIT.

Students who want to apply to study here need to provide high school transcripts and letters of recommendation!

See again letters of recommendation!

You also need to go through an interview with the school.

The interview will examine all aspects of the student.

The school said that when selecting students, they never look at the student's family status, only whether he is qualified.

This is a situation where the students are very good but their family environment is very poor.

The school will take the initiative to waive most of the tuition fees and provide a scholarship to allow students to complete their studies and avoid students from burdened with heavy student loans.

Rich and powerful.

There has been a U.S. president here, many Supreme Court justices, and a bunch of senators and representatives of Congress.

That's right, congressmen count by pile.

Princeton University does not have the most popular ones right now: business schools, law schools, and medical schools.

Instead, theoretically inclined research is maintained within the school, allowing the simple school spirit of studying academics to be maintained.

It also has one of its biggest features.

its teaching philosophy.

All undergraduate students at Princeton University are required to sign an "Honors Rule."

After signing.

During each exam, students were required to write a declaration saying, "I certify on my own behalf that I did not violate the Honor Code in this exam."

This policy also carries a second obligation, which is that during the entrance examination, each student promises to report to the Honor Committee any time he sees another student cheating.

So because of this policy, at Princeton University, exams are unproctored.

amount. .

Students here take all written examinations under the "integrity" system.

That is to say, there is no teacher to invigilate the exam, it all depends on the students’ self-awareness!

This "integrity" system was implemented in 1893 and has been continued ever since.

It makes Princeton University an alternative representative in the National University League.

David and Sidney, by the time they were chatting, were almost at Nassau Street.

The small buildings on the roadside here are all hidden among trees and forests, and the environment is perfect.

After the two passed the church on Nassau Street, they saw a three-story flint library downhill.

Xide parked the car in a parking space not far from the entrance of the library.

The two got out of the car and walked into the small park in front of the library.

Cide continued to introduce in a low voice.

The most famous subject at Princeton is the natural sciences.

It includes mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, astronomy, agriculture, meteorology, materials science, etc.

When David and Sidney walked to the door, they met a middle-aged couple walking out of the library.

They caught David's eye.

David looked at the middle-aged man and woman passing by and felt they looked familiar.

Side followed his line of sight and looked over: "That's Professor John Nash and his wife."

really!

He remembered the story of this great man, a biographical movie: "A Beautiful Mind".

John Nash is a genius mathematician who is lonely, eccentric, unemotional, and unsociable.

Because he encountered setbacks in his research and lacked more communication in the emotional world, he suffered from schizophrenia.

During Nash's more than 20 years of mental illness, he had a series of bizarre hallucinations and almost drowned his own children.

Later, this talented man used his expertise in mathematics to determine a formula for himself in the spiritual world. After eliminating all other possibilities, the final and most incredible answer was also the most true and correct answer.

Through his tenacity and the meticulous care of his wife, he found the real world in his heart, defeated schizophrenia, and slowly returned to a normal life. Later, he won the Nobel Prize in 1994.

I want to mention here that the Nobel Prize had actually been wanted to be awarded to him for a long time. However, he was in a mental hospital for treatment at the time. Later, his mental state became unstable, so the matter was postponed again and again.

That's it. . .

It’s really awesome!

He is the first outstanding figure in history who relied on his own spirit and perseverance to defeat mental illness!

It's been a long time to see you! !

David really, really wants to meet this golden legendary figure who made history!

John Nash!
