On Monday after returning, the chip manufacturer was not expecting to be satisfied with the test results Ye Li gave them, and directly sent a technical manager surnamed Wu over.Electrostatic failure has always been a key factor that they want to include in the design process, but they can't find technical support, so they have only used conventional general-purpose antistatic designs.Ye Li did not find any problems in the test project last semester, which does not mean that the chip is running stably and can be mass-produced.

When Manager Wu came to the office to look for Tong Yan, Ye Li left for class.He took out several sets of chips of the same series and different models, and wanted to ask Tong Yan to let Ye Li test it for him.Tong Yan is not very willing. First, these chips must be old products from before, and the performance is estimated to be not much worse than the problematic ones they have used.Even if it can be used, Tong Yan feels that this is the manufacturer's own job.Ye Li ran to the static electricity station for a week of testing, which was essentially a friendly help.If it is an improved and optimized new product, it is possible to test it, but it depends on the workload, not to mention that there is no reason to use Zhou Jing's pile of instruments that don't know how much they cost.

While Tong Yan was hesitating, Ye Li came in.Manager Wu was closer to him than Tong Yan, and the two quickly started discussing technical issues.After a while, Manager Wu brought the pile of samples to Ye Li, and they were densely packed and neatly placed in a box.Ye Li began to count the number of chips, estimating how long it would take to send him the result.

"Wait a minute, Manager Wu," Tong Yan stretched out his hand to cover the box, "This job is too much work, I didn't ask the price of the static electricity station, and Ye Li is usually very busy. Look at us Otherwise, we will continue to do it in the name of the previous project, but the project funds have to be calculated separately, I will ask the Electrostatic Institute later, and I can quote you a price."

"Okay, no problem. Our President Zhang also means the same. You can set up another project, depending on how convenient it is for you. In addition, we plan to sponsor some scholarships for our Department of Automation every semester, and also advertise for us. In the future Looking forward to more cooperation."

"Okay, easy to talk about." Tong Yan nodded before Ye Li took over the sample box.

As soon as Manager Wu left, Tong Yan scolded Ye Li: "What other people say is what they say. Do you know how much the test at Zhou Jing costs? It is charged by the hour, two or three hundred per hour, do you know?"

"Ah, so many? But that instrument, as long as you know how to use it and adjust it well, the test process just waits and records."

"It's not difficult for those who meet, but not for those who are difficult. Besides, her set of equipment is full of faults, and the consumables are very expensive."

"Oh, Teacher Zhou still looked at your favor."

"Is my face that big? Take a test for a film store, you take this box over and let her make a serious quotation. Tens of thousands of yuan will definitely not come down."

"Ah, what should we do now?"

Tong Yan thought for a while and said: "Let's set up a project. The manufacturer cooperates with us. We use the instruments of the electrostatic institute and pay for the use of the instruments. You earn some labor fees in it. For the project of the robotic arm, I will add a circuit to the circuit first." Antistatic module, you can get this project with the manufacturer."

"Oh." Ye Li thought, wouldn't that mean he was going to stay in the static room all the time?

At this moment, a cough came from the door, and the two of them saw that it was the head of their department, Dean Qin, who had come.

Dean Qin is a typical "old leader" type character, he is kind, dedicated to work, and cares about young teachers.But the traditional way of thinking, rigidity, and the fact that some young teachers secretly ask manufacturers for kickbacks may not be new in other departments.As long as the amount is not large, the leaders will mostly turn a blind eye when they know about it.But it's absolutely not possible with Dean Qin.In addition, Dean Qin has a high level of political awareness and is an old party member. Listening to his speech is like listening to a half-hour news broadcast, and he is particularly encouraged.

Of course, this is what Ye Li heard from other people and at the conference. He himself only had one face-to-face communication with Dean Qin. It was the last time he won an award for his thesis. There was a small award ceremony, but it was actually just for taking pictures. Write a manuscript.Unexpectedly, Dean Qin came in person and gave him an award, saying that he has "a bright future".

The door was open, but Dean Qin knocked on the door a few times before politely smiling at the two people inside.Tong Yan quickly stood up.

"Hey, Dean, why are you here?"

Dean Qin walked in with a smile: "I just had a meeting over there, so I stopped by."

"Sit down." Tong Yan pushed a chair over for him.Ye Li shouted "Hello, Dean" from behind, thinking, this is the first time seeing Tong Yan treat someone so respectfully.

"Have You Qing's materials been written?"

"Not yet, Dean, I'll write right away."

"Okay, I hope you will pay attention to it. Our school only has one quota this time. We had a meeting at the school yesterday. This time, our school will definitely have the selection for the excellent youth. As for which department can get it, I don't know."

"okay."

"I value you very much. You are capable and willing to work. I wish I could be in the department hall every day 360 days a year. Even though I rarely come here, I know all of this." Dean Qin spoke in a cadence, and the speed of his speech was just right. , seemed to be very earnest, "You know the hat of 'Youqing'. If you wear it, you will get money and fame. No matter how noble the teacher is, he will be beaten to death for this."

Tong Yan smiled and said, "Dean, I'm not noble at all. You should give me a hundred hats like this."

"Hehe, I don't care about that. It's up to you." Dean Qin stood up and looked at Ye Li who was standing behind, "Your name is Ye..."

Ye Li quickly reported his name: "Ye Li."

"Yes, hehe, I remember you." Dean Qin walked out with a smile, then came back to his senses as if remembering something, pointed at Tong Yan and instructed, "Prepare well, you will have to answer when you submit the report."

"Understood, don't worry."

Seeing the dean left, Tong Yan sat down and turned on the computer to read the email from the excellent youth selection.Ye Li said to himself in the back: "It would be great to be judged, the Matthew effect, it will be easy to do anything in the future, and then become a 'Jieqing', an academician!"

After Tong Yan listened, he chuckled and patted Ye Li on the head: "Hey, have you been arranged for me?"

"You can do it. The dean is optimistic about you. He is also an academician."

Seeing that Tong Yan didn't let him intervene this time, Ye Li was completely preparing the materials by himself, so he knew that he really cared about this matter.

So in the next few weeks, Ye Li spent most of his time testing in Zhou Jing's laboratory.Tong Yan recently changed the circuit of the robotic arm project, but Ye Li didn't intervene much.As the mid-term approached, he had been busy reviewing for two weeks, and finally finished the exam, and something happened at home again.

His mother called at 06:30 in the morning. On the phone, his mother first asked him, "Have you woken up yet?" Ye Li felt something was wrong when he heard it, but his mother said, "Your grandma is gone."

After Ye Li heard this, a heavy stone was stuck in his chest. He could barely breathe, but he couldn't get rid of the tightness in his chest.

He was brought up by his grandmother since he was a child, and the meaning of his grandmother to him is different from that of ordinary relatives.He asked Tong Yan for leave and bought a ticket to go home.When he got on the train, in the noisy carriage, many thoughts suddenly came to his mind.

He took out his mobile phone, and at 11:45, he had no appetite, so he opened the notepad in the mobile phone and started typing.

When I was born, my grandma was only 48 years old and had the same zodiac sign as me. At the age of 48, she has become the main force in raising children, so most of my childhood interesting stories come from my grandma.For example, she hugged me in line to buy vegetables, and I stretched out my hand to pinch the arm of the adult in front of me, making everyone around me laugh. "This little guy is so powerful!" Grandma would show a faint pride every time she talked about it.But after all, I didn't grow into any powerful characters.

Including this incident, three or five incidents have become the jokes that my grandma turned over and over in her mouth, and she would tell them almost every family gathering.Every time it can successfully enliven the atmosphere, mothers, uncles and aunts never tire of listening to it.I have listened to it since I was sensible, but it was really boring after hearing it.But grandma still talked about it happily, and they laughed together as if they had deleted their memories.Now I know that they are not just remembering me, but recalling themselves, imagining that when they were young, energetic, and omnipotent, they put together those flashing memory fragments in the back of their minds.

When I was in elementary school, my grandma rode a tricycle to pick up my younger brother and me from school.At that time, grandma's broad back could block the road ahead, so we sat on both sides of the car, swinging our legs around the side of the car.Grandma would say: "Sit down, I can't move anymore!" Buy some food on the way, and go back to grandma's house chattering, doing homework while playing.

It seems that every child in childhood is looking forward to growing up in the same way, just like every happy person has never noticed happiness.

Soon, after the children of our generation grew up, the gatherings at grandma's house became less and less, and later they would only meet again during the holidays.Grandma and grandpa seem to be getting used to the changes at home, but I know that they are the most lively.When they were young, they liked to play mahjong with their father, uncle or aunt. Until the sudden death of their father, that set of mahjong was never taken out of the cabinet again.I clearly remember that when my grandma heard the news of her father's death, she secretly wiped her tears in the kitchen, but she didn't dare to let her daughter see it.Grandpa was already confused at that time, so he didn't tell him the news at all. When asked, he only said that his father was on a business trip.After a long time, everyone seems to have forgotten when Grandpa stopped asking about Father.Only his eyes said clearly, I know everything, so there is no need to ask any more.

Grandma is very hardworking, and almost arranges all the food and daily life of grandpa.Mother said that because grandpa didn't have to do anything or think about anything, his brain became more and more difficult later on.Then I lost my temper all day long and quarreled with my grandma.So I had to go to the hospital to prescribe some mood-stabilizing medicine and trick him into taking it.

When I was a sophomore in high school, my grandfather passed away.Grandma no longer has to wait on another person, and no one quarrels with her. It should be a lot easier, but it is obvious that her spirit is slowly weakening.My mother would go to accompany her almost every day during the day, but it didn't seem to have any real effect.

In the summer of the third year of high school, my grandmother had a sudden stroke.When I was sent to the hospital in time, it was found that the cerebellum had shrunk, which meant that my grandmother would gradually have a tendency to develop dementia, and it would only get worse.

After being discharged from the hospital after a stroke, her grandma was unable to walk easily on one side of her body. Her mother told her to exercise every day, and asked her aunt to take care of her. The children also took turns to visit her.But I know that aging is irreversible and will not stop. Along with the aging of the body, spiritual loneliness and inexplicable fear will come like a tide.Emotional irritability, intellectual regression, and waking up countless times at night.So the more people live, the less they ask for.But these fewer and fewer requirements are becoming more and more unsatisfied one by one.

No wonder people say that old people are like children.A toy and a piece of chocolate can satisfy a child.For grandma, maybe her legs don’t hurt so much today, so she can have a good mood one day. It is also a simple desire, and it can only become simpler and simpler.

Only when I grow up will I understand why childhood is the happiest.How much I wish I could have a time machine, and go back to that lazy summer, to see the fragrant kitchen, the shaded yard, the mottled light and shadow, and the cats rubbing around my feet, and of course, grandma’s back.At that time, I felt that she had endless energy, as if in the blink of an eye, grandma became the old man who could only lie on the bed.

After thinking about it, it is clear that 20 years have passed in the blink of an eye.

As I write this, the train is halfway through.It was dark outside the window, and Ye Li's eyes were blurred.He stopped his hands, feeling that the time had passed for a long time, and looked at his watch, it was only five or six hours.
