60s researcher

Lu saw that they were taking the train all the way to the north, and the journey was very smooth. The children were excited for a long time when they first got on the train, and they kept staring at the scenery outside the window. Sitting on the bed to play energetically, and quarreling with Zhao Lei to tell them stories.It was already the afternoon of the seventh day when they arrived in the capital, and a group of people got out of the car. They counted the number of people because they were afraid of getting lost.

When they went to the capital, they didn't inform other people. They were going to settle down at Professor Xia's house first, have a good night's rest, and organize the next day to play.After Uncle Zhao Lei wrote down the address of Professor Xia's home with a pen and paper, he took his family and separated from them. He planned to go directly to his master's home.

Zhao Lei sent them there, but was directly rejected. Uncle Zhao Lei would come to the capital almost every few years, but he never brought his wife and daughter with him before, so this time he brought the whole family with him.

After the group walked out of the train station, Lu Jian and Xu Yan went outside to find three tricycles, and they took them to their destination.

Professor Xia's home was a little far from the train station, and it took him about an hour on the road. Because he knew the location of the research institute in advance, the house he entrusted someone to buy was not far from the computer research institute, and it was only two streets away.

The tricycle stopped at a distance from the courtyard. The lanes inside are too narrow, and it is not very convenient for the car to get in. It would be bad if it got stuck.After the group got out of the car, they followed Professor Xia and the others over there.The houses here seem to have been repaired, and they look relatively new. They passed by and saw a lot of courtyard houses. There seemed to be several families living in the same courtyard. Through the open courtyard door, you can see the mess. courtyard.

Lu's father, Lu's mother, and Xu Yan and Zhao Lei's parents didn't know that they were going to live in Professor Xia's house. They thought they were going to live in a guest house. When they walked to the gate of the courtyard, Lu's father couldn't help it. up. "See Lu, where is this place? Didn't you take us to the guest house? Why did you come to this place?"

Without waiting for Lu Jian to speak, Professor Xia hurriedly said, "My house is so big, how can I live in a guest house? Come in quickly." He opened the door and dragged people into the yard without hesitation.

Zhao Lei's parents wanted to say something, but they were also frightened by Professor Xia's sudden suddenness, so they had to go with others first, but he also felt that it was not very good for so many people to live in Professor Xia, and there must not be enough rooms alone.

Just as Professor Xia pulled him into the yard, a young man came out to greet him. He had a big smile on his face and hurriedly came out from inside.

"Professor Xia, you're here. I've had someone help clean up this courtyard. The coal in the kitchen is also ready. I heard that you are coming, and I have prepared some ingredients." The man looked very enthusiastic , but only to Professor Xia, and to Lu Jian and the others, it was relatively flat, and they didn't even mean to say hello, obviously they didn't take it very seriously.

Professor Xia let go of Lu's father's hand, smiled and patted the man's shoulder with his hand, "Xiao Xie, I really trouble you and your father."

"Professor Xia, from what you said, my father was very happy to know that you came to the capital. If he hadn't been in poor health, he would have come here directly today." The young man named Xiao Xie helped Professor Xia go I went to the main house.

"Professor Xia, shall I show you this courtyard house first?"

"Okay." Professor Xia applauded the venue and followed the people in. While walking inside, he said to Jian Mingyuan, "Jian Mingyuan, hurry up and bring your Uncle Lu and the others in and put down your luggage."

There was no way Father Lu and the others had to follow in.

Xiao Xie: "Uncle Lu, this courtyard house used to be the house of an old professor of Qing University, but after he retired, he followed his son and daughter back to City N. The old professor happened to be friends with my father, and this house was also entrusted to him. My father sells it, but the price is relatively high, and no one can afford it, and your side just caught up."

Professor Xia entered the hall of the main room, and smiled with satisfaction, "Yes, I really want to thank your father this time, I will visit your house in two days, and then I will have a good game of chess with your father. "

Xiao Xie's eyes lit up, "Professor Xia, you must come. My father has mentioned you several times. He is at home all the time, and no one plays chess with him. His hands are so itchy."

Professor Xia nodded, "Okay, I will definitely go then."

"But this house seems to be a little new, was it recently repaired?"

Xiao Xie: "That's right, I heard that you are going to buy a house, so my father invited someone to come over and help repair it, especially to unclog the kangs in the side rooms and the main house."

"That's fine, take Jian Mingyuan and me to look around. Lu sees that you are taking your parents to rest in this room for a while." Professor Xia thought about it for a while, fearing that Lu's father and the others would be uncomfortable, he decided to stay on his own. Personally familiarize yourself with the house first, as for the accommodation, you can arrange it later.

Lu Jian nodded, the living room is quite big, there are many chairs in it, and a big round table, which is the table for eating.After putting down their things, they randomly found a place and sat down.

On the other side, Professor Xia and Jian Mingyuan had already gone to other places under the leadership of that little Xie.

"This house is a courtyard with one entrance. The main house is on the back, and the east and west wing rooms are on both sides. There are [-] rooms in total. Compared with other places, the area is relatively large. There is also a small yard behind the main house..."

Xiao Xie led Professor Xia and the others to look around. The courtyard was relatively well maintained, and the windows were bright and clean, making people feel very comfortable.The pots and pans in the kitchen are all clean and look like they should be new. The oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and firewood are all ready, the rice tank is full, and there are many dishes in the cupboard. There was still a lot of meat frozen on the table, which was obviously prepared with the help of this person named Xiao Xie.

After walking around, Professor Xia felt a little helpless, and even felt a little pain in the head, "Xiao Xie, you have prepared too much. The money and tickets I remitted are not enough, right?" Since I knew I had to come early In the capital, Professor Xia called his old friend in advance, and sent him a sum of money and a ticket to help him clean up here, so that a group of people came here and nothing was left, but he didn't expect that the other party would So thoughtful.

Xiao Xie smiled, took out a few pieces of paper from his pocket and handed them to Professor Xia, "Professor Xia, don't worry, my father has already said that you will definitely not take advantage of us, this is a detailed bookkeeping Shan, just give me back the bad money when the time comes." His words were a bit joking, but the bill was true, and his father knew Professor Xia quite well, so that he would not be caught by others later. It's better to settle the account at the door and collect more money. It's better to settle the matter early.

Professor Xia was quite satisfied now. He took a few pieces of paper handed over by Xiao Xie, and then looked at it. Sure enough, all the details were listed on it.Professor Xia was even more satisfied now, it was his old friend who knew him well.

After reading it roughly, he handed over the papers in his hand to Jian Mingyuan, and said to Xiao Xie with a smile, "Okay, I'll keep this list. Mingyuan, follow the numbers on the top to replenish the money and tickets." Thank you."

This little Xie is quite thoughtful in doing things, and has already written out the overspend.

Jian Mingyuan nodded, and quickly entered the room, ready to withdraw money.

When someone went in, Professor Xia smiled and said to Xiao Xie, "Are you still in the Capital Institute of Mechanical Engineering, right?"

Xiao Xie nodded with a smile, "Professor Xia remembers well, since I graduated from university, I went directly to the Capital Machinery Research Institute as an intern, and I have been working there since then."

Professor Xia: "That's pretty good. Lao Xie also worked in the Capital Machinery Research Institute back then, so it's a succession of his father's career."

After all, the two of them were a little older, and they didn't know each other very well, so they had an awkward chat.

Fortunately, after a while, Jian Mingyuan came out with the money and the ticket. He handed the money ticket to Xiao Xie directly.

"Professor Xia, you just got home and are still busy, so I won't bother you." He looked at his watch, pretending to be in a hurry.

"Why don't you eat here later? You have prepared quite a lot." Professor Xia thought about it and planned to keep it for a while.

"That's all, Professor Xia. My family's meals should be ready, and my father is still waiting for me to go back and report the news to him." Xiao Xie firmly refused.

Seeing his resolute attitude, Professor Xia did not continue to persuade him to stay, and sent him out with Jian Mingyuan.

When Professor Xia returned to the living room after seeing off the people, Lu's mother had already taken several mothers to the kitchen. Everything here was complete, and they were going to cook a big dinner. You must know that they were on the train After staying for three days, the meals in the car were really not to my liking, so I happened to have a good meal tonight.

When Professor Xia and Jian Mingyuan were talking to someone outside, the fathers had already discussed together. Professor Xia's house is quite enough, so there is no problem for them to live in, but it is not easy to take advantage of others.

As soon as Professor Xia entered the door, he heard Lu's father say: "Professor Xia, we can live here, but you must charge the accommodation fee, and it will be based on the room price of the guest house." Not just three or two people, but a group of people. Living here is already troublesome enough. If you can live here for nothing, of course you have to pay.And they still have to eat here, and the meal for so many people will cost a lot of money.
