60s researcher

Before dawn, Lu's mother got up and steamed a pot of steamed buns with white flour. The dough was made before going to bed last night.

After the steamed buns started to steam, she went back to her room and took two bamboo suitcases, and put them on the table in the main room.This box was made by an old craftsman in the village some time ago. It was originally intended to be used as a dowry for his daughter, but seeing that he was going on a long trip and had a lot of things to bring, he used it first.

She took out two jars of pork sauce and one jar of beef sauce from the cupboard, carefully wrapped them in oiled paper, tied them with ropes and placed them gently on the table.

This is still made with the meat that Lu Jian bought yesterday. Because of Professor Xie, it is not very spicy.

When Lu Jian and Zhao Lei got up, Mother Lu's steamed buns were already out of the pan, and even the main room had a faint fragrance.

Seeing Lu Jianlu's mother hurriedly handed him two boxes.

"Hold the box, put all your clothes in it, and remember to put the sauce on top later, so that you can take it out and eat it on the road."

"Understood." Lu Jian took the box and went back to the room. He took out almost all the clothes in the closet, including winter clothes, but the sum was not much, two boxes were just right.

When Lu Jian came out, Zhao Lei was already sitting there and started eating steamed buns. The steamed buns were still dipped in thick beef sauce, which should be leftovers.Zhao Lei was happily eating there alone.

"You really enjoy it." Lu Jian walked over to sit next to him, opened the box, and put the sauce wrapped in oiled paper into it.

"Hey." Zhao Lei smiled when he heard what he said and didn't speak.

Hearing Lu Jian's voice, Mother Lu came out of the kitchen, holding a big paper bag in one hand, and a big steamed bun with sauce on it.She walked up to Lu Jian and gave him the steamed buns, then took the box in Lu Jian's hand, put the big paper bag full of steamed buns into the box, checked the contents of the box again, and waited until there was nothing wrong with it. He closes.

"I put some steamed buns in for you to eat on the way, and be careful on the way." Lu's mother looked at Lu Jian, her face was full of worry, her son was going to such a far place all of a sudden, and he would not come back for so long.

"Understood, it will be fine." Lu Jian nodded and agreed, took the steamed buns and ate them. The meat sauce was very fragrant and tasty, and it was really delicious with steamed buns.

In the morning, Lu Jian and Zhao Lei each ate two big steamed buns.Because Zhao Lei had to rush back to work in the factory, the two of them left early without disturbing others.

Lu's mother and Lu's father sent them to the gate of the yard. Lu Jian waved to them and left on his bicycle with two boxes tied to his back seat.

Lu's father and Lu's mother behind him stood and watched for a long time, until they could no longer see and did not walk away.

Lu Jian and Zhao Lei rushed to the city together, Lu Jian was going to Professor Xie's house, and separated from Zhao Lei on the way.

When Lu saw Professor Xie's house, he had already got up and was watering the roses in the yard. When he heard the sound of a bicycle, he looked over, saw Lu Jian at a glance, and immediately showed a smile.

Lu Jian parked the car and hurried over to take the kettle in his hand to help continue watering.

"Why did you come here? Didn't you mean to wait directly at the station? You came from home and got up so early?"

"Good morning, teacher. A colleague has been playing at my house for two days. I came here with him today. He has to go to work early, so he is early." Lu Jian moved a place and continued to water.

"Have you had breakfast then?"

"Eat, eat, my mother made a lot of steamed buns for us to eat in the car, as well as meat sauce, steamed buns dipped in sauce, it's great!" Lu Jian pointed to the box in the back seat of the car.

"Oh, then I'm lucky."

While talking, Lu Jian had already finished pouring water, and put the empty kettle on the railing under the house.

"Teacher, we have been away for so long, what should we do with this rose field?" Lu Jian glanced at the rose field without flowers.

"It's fine. I'll ask Professor Sun next door to watch over it for me. Just water it and weed it every few days." Professor Xie has already arranged it. This is his wife's favorite rose, and it can't die.

"Okay, let me help you clean up?" Lu Jian thought that his teacher must have come to water the flowers together, so he probably hasn't packed up yet.

"No, no, I packed everything last night." Professor Xie waved his hand. He used to go on business trips very early every time. In order not to wake up his wife, he packed everything the night before.

"You put your luggage in the hallway and push your bicycle inside, so that it won't be stolen outside."

"Okay." Although Lu Jian felt that there was nothing wrong with putting it in the yard, he obediently carried the bicycle into the house and put it in the small warehouse next to the main room.

"Teacher, when are we leaving?" Lu Jian put the car away and followed Professor Xie into the house.

"There's still an hour, wait for a car to pick us up." Professor Xie poured him a glass of water, and Lu Jian quickly took it and sat on the sofa with him. There was a large leather cup on the table next to the sofa. The box looks a little old, but it is well maintained and still very shiny.

"Oh." Lu Jian nodded, coming here for so long, this is the first time that there is a special car to pick him up, although it is only in the honor of his teacher.

"This time the project is huge and there are a lot of people. The Ministry of Petroleum has sent many researchers there, so you have to be careful with your words and tell me first if you have any ideas." Professor Xie glanced at him and spoke earnestly.

Lu Jian nodded quickly.

"But don't be so reckless like you were in the machinery factory before. You teach everyone a class on the first day of work, and you guarantee that you can make a CNC machine tool within a year." Professor Xie spoke in a serious tone with a serious face.

"Did you have any projects or achievements before? You dare to say that. Fortunately, in front of Zhou Gong and the others, they are all open-minded people. What you said is not bad. They really want to research something. Otherwise..."

Professor Xie didn't continue when he said this, but Lu Jian's heart seemed to be frozen suddenly, full of cold air.

"I was wrong, teacher." Lu Jian lowered his head, full of regrets. The main reason was that he was too excited to join the CNC machine tool project team. Zhou Gong gave him a chance to speak again. He didn't think carefully for a while, and it turned out like that .

Now that I think about it, I really want to thank those two, and I also said a lot of good things to Director Wu in front of him.

"Okay, it's over, it's over, and no one will talk about it now. It's okay to have an idea, but you have to think about other issues. But when you have enough results, you don't have to think about it. too much."

"En." Lu Jian nodded.

"Sit down for a while, I'll go upstairs to have a look, it seems that I forgot to bring some materials, and leave at about 9 o'clock." Professor Xie looked at his watch, and thought that some materials had not been packed, so he went upstairs.

Lu Jian sat downstairs and carefully recalled the things he came to this era. He seemed to be a little impetuous, easily influenced by others, did not plan things, and was very passive.

After a while, the sound of a car horn came from outside the door. Professor Xie opened the window upstairs to answer, and then went downstairs with a leather briefcase in his hand.

"Let's go!"

"Teacher, are the doors and windows closed?"

"It's all closed, let's go."

Lu Jian hurriedly picked up the box he put on the table, followed him out, and took his own box as he passed the corridor.

Professor Xie locked the door and walked to the car. The driver of the car had already got down and opened the trunk, and the rear seat door was also opened.

Lu Jian quickly put all the boxes in, and sat in with Professor Xie.

When they were done, the driver also got into the car, started the car and headed to the station.

"Old Zhao, it's you again today? Where's Lao He?" Professor Xie laughed as soon as the driver got into the car.

"He took Principal Kuang to a meeting in the province today." The middle-aged man named Lao Zhao didn't look back, and looked at the road ahead seriously.They are all employees of the school. Because they can drive, they will drive the school's car to pick up the school's professors on business trips.

"Well, I'm going to trouble you again today."

"If there is any trouble, the school will subsidize it." This is true. Although they are not paid for helping to drive, the school will give a monthly subsidy of 10 yuan.

"By the way, do you have a project now..."

Lu Jianjing listened to the conversation between the two without interrupting.

Not long after, the car arrived at the train station. As soon as the car was parked, Lu Jian got out of the car and took out the three boxes in the trunk. Professor Xie was still saying goodbye.

After Professor Xie finished speaking, he directly took back his own box from Lu Jian.

"Teacher, I'll take it!" Lu Jian felt that he could mention it.

"Okay, so many things are not easy to walk, let's go in quickly and find out which platform the car is parked at?" Professor Xie directly refused, and walked towards the gate of the train station.Lu Jian had no choice but to follow.

There is a large square in front of the train station in the 60s, which is very empty. The main building is a two-storey house with a ticket office in the middle and waiting halls on both sides.

Lu saw that their tickets were at 10:[-]. This train was directly from Hu’an City to the capital. It would take two days and two nights to arrive at the capital at about noon on the third day, and then change trains in the capital. Province.

Because it was already 10 o'clock, Lu saw them and went directly to the platform to check the tickets. The train was already waiting at the station.

Professor Xie bought the sleeping berth ticket in the name of the school. Usually, you need a work permit or a military officer certificate to buy it. It is no different from the 21st century. It is the same as the upper, middle and lower berths.

Professor Xie bought a lower berth and an upper berth.When they entered, there was no one in the carriage. Lu Jian took out steamed buns and a jar of pork sauce from the box, put them on the table by the window, and put the three suitcases under the bed.

"Teacher, you sleep on the lower bunk, and I sleep on the upper bunk."

"Okay." Professor Xie didn't refuse, and sat down on the lower bunk, took out a book from his briefcase and began to read it. He really couldn't climb up because he was too old.

Lu Jian also made it to his side, seeing that he was already reading a book, he looked out the window, and there were people coming and going outside the window.

Not long after, the train whistle sounded, constantly urging people to get on the train, and the people outside the window were running fast.

No one came in their compartment until the train started, but this train will stop at many stations, and someone should come up halfway.

"See Lu, there's water here, drink it when you're thirsty." Professor Xie took out a military jug from the box and handed it to him.

Lu Jian quickly took the kettle and put it on the table. There is no hot water supply on the train now, and it will not be available until the 70s.However, when stopping along the way, there will be people carrying hot water bottles and tea on the bus to sell, and a "tea ticket" is also required.

"Oh, by the way, you can read this book." Suddenly, Professor Xie took out another book from his briefcase and gave it to Lu Jian.

Lu Jian took it and read it, and found that it was a book about oil drilling equipment. He hadn't seen it in Professor Xie's library before.

"The latest one, you can take a look." After Professor Xie finished speaking, he read the book again.Lu Jian spread the book out on the table and read it slowly, the room was silent for a while.

I don't know how long the radio on the train rang, saying that there is lunch on the train, which is in the middle of the train.

"Teacher, do you want to buy food? Or just eat steamed buns?"

"Go and get two meals? You can't just eat steamed buns." Professor Xie took out a dollar and a few food coupons from his pocket and handed them to Lu Jian. He was still used to eating rice.

"I just eat steamed buns. My mother made them herself. It's delicious." Seeing that he didn't pick up his money and tickets, Lu wiped his hands and ran out of the carriage, and walked directly to the middle of the carriage.

They were at the rear of the train, and they had to pass through several ticketed cars to get to the middle of the train. There were a lot of people in the cars, most of them were carrying big bags and small bags, and many people were holding children.There are still many people who did not buy a seat, or leaned on the seat, or sat directly on the edge of the aisle, squeezed at the feet of others.

Many people bring their own food, such as steamed buns, eggs, pickles, and sweet potatoes.The weather was hot and the inside was crowded. Although the windows were open and the wind was blowing in, the smell inside was mixed together and could not be blown away.

Lu Jian struggled to squeeze through the crowd to the boxed lunch place, took a look, and there were green pepper shredded pork, so he bought a portion directly.

When he returned to his compartment, his whole body had changed. He was covered in sweat, his hair was messed up, and there was a piece of straw on it. It was unknown who brought the straw into the car.His clothes were also crumpled, and even his shoes had been stepped on several times, with footprints all over them.

"..."

Professor Xie wanted to laugh a little. He was a handsome young man when he first went out, but he turned into this when he came back.

Lu Jian put the rice on the table in front of Professor Xie, lifted the sheet on the opposite bed a little, and sat on it.

"Shall we eat? Teacher?" Seeing Professor Xie sitting there motionless, Lu Jian was a little puzzled, and his hand was still holding steamed buns in the oiled paper bag.

"Hehe." Professor Xie smiled, took a straw from his head and shook it in front of Lu Jian's eyes.

"It seems that someone is carrying a bag tied with straw." When Lu Jian came over just now, he met a man with a sack on his shoulder, and his head hit it.

"Eat." Professor Xie opened the lunch box and saw Lu Jian break open the steamed bun, put meat sauce in it, and directly picked up the green pepper shredded pork in the box and put it in Lu Jian's steamed bun.

Lu Jian didn't refuse, and pushed the bottle containing the sauce towards him.

"My mother made this yesterday. It's full of meat and it's delicious."

Professor Xie tried it, and it was really good, so he ate it with chopsticks.

The journey was very peaceful. A few people came up and went down halfway. They should all be government officials on business trips.

Moreover, the sleeper side is strictly controlled, and the flight attendants come to inspect it from time to time, and no one from other compartments rushes over.

When they arrived at their destination, the steamed buns brought by Lu Jian had already been eaten. Professor Xie, who had always said that he didn't like steamed buns, finally ate one after another mixed with meat sauce. After that, the two of them directly finished a bottle of sauce.The remaining two bottles were also ordered by Professor Xie.

Before getting off the platform, there were many people waiting to pick them up.Lu Jian sharp-eyed saw a person standing outside the window with a piece of cardboard saying Welcome to Professor Xie.

"Teacher, someone is here to pick you up, let's go down quickly." Lu Jian hurriedly called Professor Xie, who had already taken out all the boxes under the bed.However, Professor Xie has been refusing to move. There is still a section of his book that he has not finished, and he wants to finish this section first.

"Wait a minute, it'll be over soon." Professor Xie didn't hurry up. Fortunately, this stop was the final stop, otherwise they wouldn't be able to get down.

The people waiting below seemed to be a little anxious, and they came directly to this side, and walked to the window on Lu Jian's side after a while.

"Thank you old man, come down quickly, the skin will be sunburned off." It was an old man who looked to be in his 50s, but his hair was gray and there was no black at all.He was wearing glasses and a Chinese tunic suit, his brows were wrinkled, and he looked very impatient.

Lu Jian hurriedly stepped back, revealing Professor Xie who was sitting next to him.

"What's the rush, the car can't run." Professor Xie put a wooden bookmark where he was reading, then closed the book and stood up.

Lu Jian hurriedly picked up the suitcases and was about to get off the car, but Professor Xie grabbed them and went straight to the window, throwing them down one by one.

The eyes of the people outside the window almost popped out, but they still caught them one by one and put them on the ground.

Lu Jian followed Professor Xie out of the car easily, and the man had already lifted the things to the door.

"You old man, you want to smash me to death, right?" He threw the suitcase in his hand directly at Professor Xie.

"Hehe, just such a small thing can kill you..."

As he spoke, he glanced at his body.

"Forget it, I don't care about you, who is this little comrade?"

"My student, Jian Lu. Jian Lu is Professor Xia from Harbin Institute of Technology, an expert in oil exploration." Professor Xie hurriedly introduced them.

"Professor Xia, hello, I'm Jian Lu." Lu Jian bowed slightly.

"Hello little comrade, welcome to our L province, you will definitely like it here."

"Yes." Lu Jian nodded quickly.

"Let's go, let's go back quickly, the place to live has been arranged." Professor Xia looked at the time and urged them to leave quickly.

The two of them didn't delay, they followed Professor Xia to the exit, and Lu Jian was carrying his two suitcases in his hands.

The car was parked on the side of the road not far from the exit. It was a Dongfeng car. Lu Jian put the box in the trunk and sat in the co-pilot with winking, letting the two professors sit together.
