The sad reminder of the science man

For the future of the Xue family, Father Xue has put in all his energy and effort.On the way to Hangzhou, Xue Chi's ears were also calloused by Xue's father.

"Chi'er, you must perform well this meeting and strive to succeed in your apprenticeship." Father Xue urged him again.

"Got it, dad, you've said it many times! If you say it again, I'm going to be nervous. Don't blame me if I can't perform well!" Xue Chi looked out of the window on the boat.

This time, they were going from Jinling to Hangzhou by boat. In February, the river was still blowing a bitter cold wind, but for Xue Jia who was going out for the first time, he was extremely excited.

"Okay, Chi'er, turn your head around. What's interesting outside here? There's nothing on the river at this time of year. You've been staring outside all day. Don't feel too monotonous. Listen to Dad." Father Xue Seeing Xue Chi and looking outside again, he said angrily.

"Isn't this the first time I've been on a boat, isn't it! Daddy, I know all about it, but what should I do to behave well?" Xue Jia knew that this time he paid a lot of attention to his master Xue's father. He listened to Mr. Li's speech. However, knowing that he and Father Xue are going to visit people who can be said to be national treasures like the academicians of the modern National Academy of Sciences, thinking of this, Xue Chi felt his heart beating, and he was also very nervous, okay, but Father Xue kept saying in his ear What, Xue Chi had no choice but to look outside to lower his nervousness.

Father Xue thought for a while, "I heard from Mr. Li that Cheng Gong is looking for geeks, not the kind who will die in reading, but the kind who dare to think, are curious, interested in miscellaneous learning, have strong plasticity, and are talented enough. , These fathers think that you are basically in line, so don't be too nervous, show what you usually don't understand and be curious, let Cheng Gong see your talent, and it is estimated that this will be done. Mr. Li also said that you are a teacher The probability of success is very high, so don't be too nervous, be generous and natural, do you hear me?"

Xue Chi thought for a while, "Oh, what dad means is that I can do whatever I usually do, right?"

Father Xue thought for a while, Xue Jia was usually a small question mark, and felt that his usual performance was similar to what he said just now, so he nodded, "Yes, that's it, but you have to behave better. By the way, don't you have a good memory? It can be shown appropriately."

Xue Chi nodded in doubt, and asked, "How does the memory show? Can I recite the book? But I can recite the book, but I don't understand the meaning at all. I just memorized it by rote. What if I ask?"

"If you are told to recite it, you can recite it. Ask your teacher first. You are young, so you won't ask too deeply. Let Chenggong have a good impression of you first, and then we will work slowly, and he will always accept you." Xue's father said that he would first learn from the teacher and then talk about it, and think about other things later.

Xue's family also has another courtyard in Hangzhou, and Xue's father sent people over to repair it in advance.When they arrived in Hangzhou, Father Xue and Xue Jia cleaned up and moved in directly, and then sent someone to send a greeting card to the address given by Mr. Li, and then waited for Cheng Gong to receive him.

Soon came the news that Cheng Gong wanted to see them!Father Xue hurriedly tidied up and brought Xue Jia and gifts, and then visited. After notification, Father Xue and Xue Jia were directly introduced to the study.

Father Xue and Xue Jia entered the study, and saw a hale and hearty old man sitting behind the desk writing something with a brush.Father Xue and Xue Chi didn't dare to disturb them, and waited quietly.

After waiting like this for about half an hour, Cheng Gong finally put down his pen, picked up the teacup on the desk, and took a sip, "Not bad, not bad." I don't know if it means that he is a good person or that the tea is good, and then motioned to Father Xue and Xue Chi sit.

Father Xue and Cheng Gong exchanged a few words, and then took advantage of the opportunity to sit down.Xue Chi is really tired. In the past, it would be fine to stand for a whole day, not to mention standing for an hour. It's important, because Xue Zhi's temper has long since quit, and he can finally sit in this meeting, but he is not polite at all.

After exchanging pleasantries, Cheng Gong asked, "You are the geek that An He said, the one who has a good memory and can't read articles, but is very talented in miscellaneous studies."

Father Xue was about to speak, but was stopped by Chenggong, so he had to take a look at Xue Chi, hoping that he would not cause trouble, but behave better, and give Chenggong a good impression.

"Grandpa Cheng, yes, sir, it's me, I'm Xue Chi, I can't read the article, but I can't read it very well, and it's not that I don't understand the article, but I can't understand those words, but you use vernacular Translate it for me, I can remember it very quickly, if you don’t believe me, you can test me.” Xue Chi said in a childish voice.

Cheng Gong looked at the child in front of him who probably only reached his calf. He had been left alone for a long time without making a fuss. He was very generous and cute when he was questioned, and he loved him a little more, "Oh, then I I have a question to test you, do you dare to answer my question?"

"Of course, but don't imitate those people's polite words, ask me in vernacular! And I'm a child after all, don't ask too difficult." Xue Chi wrinkled his small nose and said.

Cheng Gong felt that Xue Chi was more and more interesting now, "So there are so many restrictions, so it doesn't explain your ability."

"Am I still a child! And if I understand everything, why do I need a master?" Xue Chi pouted.

After hearing Xue Chi's words, Father Xue felt that this hairy boy was too ignorant. He dared to say such a thing, and wanted to stop him, but was glared at by Cheng Gong, so he had to sit aside as the background.

"You're right. Well, I've come up with a question. Don't worry, it's plain speaking. Now there is a stone in front of you. It's very heavy. You can't move it. You are not allowed to ask others to help you, but you can use tools to help you." , how do you move him away from you?" Cheng Gong stopped talking and said directly.

Xue Chi answered without thinking, "Put a few round sticks under the stone, and then you can slide the stone away with a little effort; you can also use pulleys, seesaws can move the stone away, and water can also be used. Yes." After speaking, Xue Chi glanced at Cheng Gong.

Cheng Gong saw Xue Chi look at him, and felt that he seemed to say that he asked him such a simple question, so he shook his head. This is definitely an illusion, Cheng Gong continued, "Then if I give you the tool, you can show me how to operate it. Is it? It’s not enough to just talk about it.”

Xue Zhi felt that although he was reborn, as a man of science, although he specialized in computer technology after college, he still knew the basic principle of leverage and water buoyancy, and felt underestimated. I was an ancient man, "Okay, get your things ready! I'll show you my hand." Xue Chi climbed up on the chair, stood on the chair, raised his head, raised his small chin, and waved his hands, trying to put on a look of superiority. Look, but he forgot that he is now a little kid.

Father Xue wanted to cover his face when he saw Xue Jia's terrified appearance. He really didn't want to admit that this brat was his son, but Cheng Gong saw it very happily. Finally, Cheng Gong saw enough of the jokes and waved at Father Xue. Father Xue immediately stepped forward and hugged Xue Chi down.

After Xue's father took Xue Chi down, he slapped his little butt, and whispered in Xue Chi's ear, "You are really getting bolder and bolder, next, you should behave well to me, don't you?" You must be naughty again, if you continue to be like this, father will not be polite." Although Xue's father said so, but Xue's father saw Cheng Gong's expression just now and knew that Cheng Gong is still satisfied with Xue Jia so far, but on the surface he still wants to Talk about Xue Chi, lest he get carried away.

Cheng Gong brought Xue's father and son to the hall, ordered people to prepare things, and let Xue Jia do it himself. Xue Jia's hands-on ability is not weak. It was still made according to Cheng Gong's request.

Cheng Gong looked at Xue Zhi with sweat on his face, and looked at himself with bright eyes, without saying much, "Well, seeing that your talent is fair and your mind is flexible, I will teach you for one year first, and after one year, if you can Satisfy me, I will accept you formally, how about that?"

Xue Chi quickly stood up and bowed to Cheng Gong, "Student Xue Chi has met Mr., and I will definitely make him my real teacher."

Cheng Gong was very satisfied with Xue Jia's performance, so he smiled at Xue Jia.

Xue's father was also very pleased. He didn't want Xue Chi to be a teacher right away. Cheng Gong told him to teach him for a year first. It was much better than he expected!

Xue's father, Cheng Gong, hurried forward and asked, "I don't know if Cheng Gong is going to teach Chi'er, or go to Jinling with us. I can arrange it."

Cheng Gong saw that Xue Chi was still a little one, and thought of Anhe Ye Xue's family, and he was also going to Jiangnan to retire. There is no big difference between Hangzhou and Jinling, "Go to your place, you can make a yard for me. Just next to Anhe!"

Father Xue hurriedly said, "Chenggong's ability to come to Xue's family is due to the blessings of Xue's family for several lifetimes. Cheng Gong's words really hurt Xue's family!"

Father Xue wanted to say something, Cheng Gong waved his hand, "You can figure it out! I will send Xue Jia over during the day starting tomorrow, and I will go to Jinling with you in March. Go back today!"

Father Xue nodded in agreement, and took Xue Chi out of Cheng's mansion.
