Reborn in 2000 as a scholar

The fact that Lin's father and Lin's mother rushed to Beijing with the elderly on both sides was beyond Lin Jinqi's expectations. Naturally, Lin Jinqi's small house could not accommodate so many people, so Lin Jinqi had to book three suites in a nearby hotel. Parents and others are placed there. -Originally, Papa Lin said that he could just make do with a squeeze, but Lin Jinqi felt that it was the first time for Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin to come to Beijing, so it was completely unnecessary to live in such a cramped place.And Lin Jinqi also said that it is difficult for him to do hygiene, so it is better to put it in a hotel, which is more comfortable and convenient.

Lin Jinqi's statement was approved by Lin's mother, so everyone stayed in the hotel.But during dinner, Father Lin brought up Lin Jinqi's study abroad.Although Lin's father also made a good estimate that Lin Jinqi will study abroad after graduation, but that is after graduation, isn't it just a freshman?

So Lin Jinqi had no choice but to speak out about the school's joint training plan, saying that it was an attempt by the Ministry of Education to cultivate talents, and Tsinghua University happened to be the first beneficiary of this plan.When Lin Jinqi said that if Lin Jinqi completes the final training plan, Lin Jinqi will be able to obtain the results of two doctoral degrees from Princeton University and Tsinghua University, Lin's father immediately raised his hands in favor.Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin were intellectuals in the old China era. Although they were not the kind of high-level intellectuals who had stayed abroad, they had studied in old-style domestic universities anyway, so they still valued their offspring being able to produce a Ph.D.Although Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin are not intellectuals, after all, old-school Chinese people respect intellectuals very much. Knowing that their grandson can get two PhDs, Grandma Lin's original expression of reluctance immediately blossomed with joy.

For the older generation of Huaxia, there is nothing more important than the success of the next generation.The original melancholy of parting has now turned into a dinner to wish Lin Jinqi the success of getting two doctorate degrees. Fortunately, Lin Jinqi booked a private room very predictably, otherwise, Grandpa Lin and Grandpa Lin would sing Peking Opera and Huagu Opera together. People can bear it.Even so, when the box attendant came in to serve, he was still surprised by the two old men.

"This time you will go to America for at least four years, right?" After returning to the hotel, Lin Jinqi was dragged to their room by Lin's father and mother.Father Lin asked very seriously, "Then have you ever thought about a question, what about Long Yuan? Your mother and I are still very optimistic about Long Yuan, our daughter-in-law. Although the Long family is still holding it, Aunt Long is right Your impression is very good. But now you two are really far apart, I hope you can recognize your identity in the United States, and don't do something that is sorry for Long Yuan. In addition, you suddenly changed your major to mathematics, you Can you adapt? And you are going to study for a doctoral program, is it too difficult for your knowledge reserve? It is a bad idea to encourage the growth of the seedlings.”

"I have a plan with her about Long Yuan. She will also apply for overseas universities after finishing her undergraduate studies, but where she will go depends on where I will go to study at that time."

The plan in Lin Jinqi's heart is to complete the credits of Princeton University in three years and strive to apply for a doctorate.Then apply to the University of Munich in Germany or the Federal Technical University of Zurich in Switzerland, and Long Yuan can also apply to the corresponding universities at that time.Lin Jinqi's first choice is the Federal University of Technology Zurich. After all, CERN is located in Switzerland, so the Swiss universities are naturally close to the water.The other reason is that the sister school of the Federal Institute of Technology of Zurich, the Federal Institute of Technology of Lausanne, has a Lausanne International Advanced Management Institute, which is regarded as a world-renowned management professional research institute, so Long Yuan can come here to study MPA or other management degrees. .

Lin Jinqi only disclosed this plan to Long Yuan, and Long Yuan also thought it was a very suitable plan.The reason for revealing in advance is that Switzerland is a multilingual country, and German and French are far more popular than English, so if Long Yuan wants to study here, the language barrier is also a little trouble.

"What's more, the means of transportation are so developed now, as long as we are both in Europe, it's actually not difficult to meet every weekend." After talking about Long Yuan, Lin Jinqi began to talk about his own things again, "My math scores are actually good, otherwise I can't solve the 'Poincaré conjecture', and since I can pass the qualification test of Princeton University's joint training program, it proves that I have the ability to complete this training program. And most importantly, Princeton University is not a Rigid universities pay more attention to the quality and morality of students, so as long as they can successfully complete the corresponding research, it is not a problem to get a doctorate in advance. If you get a doctorate from Princeton University in advance, the degree from Tsinghua University is not a problem. "

After listening to Lin Jinqi's analysis, Papa Lin also felt that it was indeed feasible, so Papa Lin didn't say anything more.The rest is Mama Lin's advice to pay attention to this and that in the United States, especially diet and clothing.Fortunately, Lin Jinqi has already learned about the accommodation conditions of graduate students from Princeton University’s email. Princeton University may not sound as famous as Harvard University and Yale University, but the amount of donations received by Princeton University is the highest in the United States.Princeton University, which has money in hand, will naturally not treat students and teachers badly in terms of hardware, so the accommodation conditions of Princeton University are considered to be very leading in the United States.

However, because Princeton University has a very long history, the dormitory areas or apartment areas under its name are also built in different ages.Fortunately, after entering the 1990s, Princeton University successively renovated the previously built university dormitories, so the accommodation in Princeton University is graded.The cheapest is naturally the dormitory area. The dormitory area is basically a bedroom for two people, and there are a few single bedrooms; then one or more bedrooms share a living room; a public washroom and toilet are shared on the first floor; laundry is shared by a building room and bathroom.The relatively expensive apartment complex looks exactly like the American middle-class apartment complex. The basic unit type is one bedroom, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom. There is also a parking area and unified mail service in the community.

Of course, the cheapest monthly rent in the apartment area is 800 US dollars, while the average price is around 1300 US dollars.This does not include cable TV, telephone, electricity, water, etc. Fortunately, the Internet fee is free.The apartment area not only has Ethernet, but also has wireless network coverage, which can be regarded as a good accommodation benefit.After comparing all the residential areas in Princeton University, Lin Jinqi chose the relatively new Lawrence apartment area.The Lawrence Apartment is located just south of Princeton University. Compared with the dormitory area, the apartment area is farther away from the university. This may be the reason why the school considers that the income of students in the dormitory area is lower than that in the apartment area, so it may not be convenient to buy a car in time.

Lin Jinqi applied for Building No. [-] of the Lawrence Apartment. According to the online complaints of many Princeton University alumni, this apartment belongs to the elite apartment of Princeton University, so it is relatively difficult to apply.Fortunately, Lin Jinqi is a freshman, and freshmen have priority when applying for a dormitory, so as long as someone leaves from the Lawrence apartment, Lin Jinqi is very likely to be added.

So Lin Jinqi showed the photos of Lawrence's apartment to Mama Lin. When Mama Lin found out that Laomei's student apartment had oversized refrigerators, stoves, ovens and other facilities, Mama Lin suggested that it would be better for Lin Jinqi to eat at home with a fire. health and nutrition.As for the reason of saving money, both Mama Lin and Lin Jinqi tacitly did not mention it.However, there is no basic furniture in the student apartment, so Lin Jinqi either buys it or looks for second-hand goods at the nearby flea market.Thinking that I will stay in the United States for at least three years, this little money cannot be saved.

Papa Lin also knew that Lin Jinqi was still dealing with visa issues, so he decided to bring the four elderly people to visit Beijing from the next day.Anyway, Papa Lin's original plan was to take the old man on a tour, and arrange for the four old men to go to the Union Hospital for physical examinations and so on.In fact, rich father and mother Lin arrange physical examinations at Xiangya Hospital twice a year, but since they are in Beijing, they want to experience the medical technology of "Nanxiangya being Xiehe".

In the past few years, the four elderly people have also gotten used to physical examinations, and they also know that this is according to the hearts of the children, so they have actively cooperated from the initial rejection to now.Anyway, at this age, it would be completely unreasonable to say that there is no disease at all.Anyway, early treatment of illness, the current medical technology is relatively prosperous.What's more, the four elderly people are considered to have regular physical examinations and long-term follow-up treatment earlier, so although the physical examination reports are not as good as those of young people, they are still very good among their peers.The doctor didn't say anything except ordering regular physical examinations and returning visits on time.

Since nothing was found out, the travel of the four elderly people in Beijing became even more joyful.Although the city of Beijing in winter is not a suitable place for the elderly to travel, but these four elderly people are considered healthy, so they have become a special scenic spot among tourists in Beijing in winter.Seeing the happiness of the four elderly people, Lin's father and Lin's mother felt relieved a lot.

While Lin's father and Lin's mother were traveling in Sunset Red in Beijing, Lin Jinqi had an interview at the US embassy.It's not that Princeton University's admission letter is not enough, it's that Lin Jinqi's passport does not have visas from other countries except South Korea and Turkey.Especially now that the relationship between Huaxia and the United States is still a sensitive and embarrassing period, and Lin Jinqi, who has a registered permanent residence in a small city, naturally aroused the interest of the visa officer.Since the visa officer is interested, Lin Jinqi can only visit the embassy.Lin Jinqi doesn't think that the US government will come to kneel and lick as soon as his "dominant spirit" is released at this time.He felt that if he was arrogant at this time, it was very likely that he would be refused by the visa officer, and the next visa would be even more troublesome.

At this time, the United States is still a country worth immigrating to for Chinese people, so there are still many Chinese people waiting for visas outside the US embassy.However, people like Lin Jinqi who apply for study visas still have a little preferential treatment. After all, although the United States is not the kind of country that particularly welcomes immigrants, they still welcome scientific and technological talents.Since the 1980s, one of the things that the United States loves to do most is to pinch the top seedlings of college students in China. It is equivalent to a group of future talents who are taken away by the United States for intensive training after enjoying excellent basic education in China, and finally contribute to the construction of the United States. The four modernizations have contributed all their lives.

The visa officer looked at the visa information of the young man in front of him, and after reading it, he could only lament that genius was a goal that he could never achieve in his life.The boy is not yet an adult, but the proof materials from Tsinghua University and Princeton University dazzled the visa officer for a while.Having lived in China for so many years, the visa officer certainly knew how valuable the admission qualification of Tsinghua University was in this country.As for Princeton University, the visa officer looked at the name of the university very sadly and couldn't help sighing.

Speaking of which, the qualifications of the visa officer are not low, but the rejection email of the application to Princeton University is still vivid in my mind.Princeton University's acceptance rate is only 8%, and the acceptance rate for international students is even lower.Therefore, even in the Ivy League, Princeton University is enough to be proud of other sister schools.The reason why Princeton University attracts the top students in the United States is not only that the school's own software and hardware are leading the United States, but more importantly, the scholarship of Princeton University is extremely generous.

It is not a small expense for Americans to go to university, especially the higher the top university, the greater the expense.Even for the middle class, it is very difficult to afford a child's college tuition.Why do American children start working and saving money from high school, because they are also forced by college tuition fees!Middle-class families usually take the initiative to bear the tuition fees for their children for the first year. As for the tuition fees for the future, you have to work hard for your children, otherwise the whole family will be dragged down.Therefore, if they cannot apply for school scholarships, many children below the middle class will basically face out of school or have to face the situation of being heavily in debt after graduation.Think about what Caroline said to Max in the American TV series "Bankrupt Girls", "College loans can't be avoided!"

Therefore, a university like Princeton University, which can cover almost [-]% of students with scholarships, has become an absolute favorite in the eyes of American high school students. went to university".

The visa officer thought about his past, and finally let Lin Jinqi go.In the eyes of the visa officer, Lin Jinqi is already a person who has embarked on a shortcut to enter the upper class of the United States, and there is no need for him to offend such a person.However, the visa officer asked curiously: "Mr. Lin, first of all, congratulations on passing this interview." He handed the passport to Lin Jinqi, "But I have a personal question that I would like to know about, Mr. Lin. What is your plan after graduation? Do you want to stay in the United States? Or return to Huaxia? Don't worry, this question has nothing to do with your visa, it's just my personal interest."

"Princeton University is just one stop in my long study plan. I have other study plans in the future, so I will definitely not stay in the United States." The United States may say so.To Lin Jinqi's surprise, the visa officer was a little pity, but he didn't say anything more, just handed the documents and passport to Lin Jinqi.After Lin Jinqi thanked him, he naturally left the office, and then walked back to his house.

After getting the visa, Lin Jinqi also received an email from the Princeton University Dormitory Management Center, confirming that her apartment application was successful.Lin Jinqi didn't expect that he would successfully apply for Building No. 1 of Lawrence Apartment in one go. It seems that he still has a bit of European imperial temperament.Once you have your visa and dormitory, all that is left is to book your flight.After booking the air ticket, Lin Jinqi sent the date of his arrival at the airport to Princeton University and the Huaxia Students and Scholars Association of Princeton University.The latter is a joint organization for Chinese students and scholars who come to Princeton University. Lin Jinqi, who does not have a driver's license, can only hope that the federation will arrange for a volunteer senior or senior to pick him up.

The confirmation email from the federation was also sent quickly. In addition to the contact information for Lin Jinqi volunteers, there are also some matters that need to be paid attention to when coming to Princeton University. In particular, Lin Jinqi should prepare some US dollar change, but Do not carry large sums of dollars or traveler's checks with you.Chinese people who like to carry cash are becoming the first choice for thieves and robbers abroad, so it is enough to carry some small change to pay for train tickets or public phones.The other party also specially reminded Lin Jinqi to prepare some 25-cent coins, whether it is a bus or a public phone.

In the end, the other party also specially suggested Lin Jinqi to check the school's scholarship documents as soon as possible to see if medical insurance is included, and whether medical insurance includes dentistry.Although American medicine is world-leading, the American medical system has many problems.It can be said that without medical insurance in the United States, it is almost the rhythm of waiting for death, and the content of medical insurance is also very complicated.

Fortunately, in addition to the help from the Federation, Lin Jinqi also has Chen Shijun and a group of his own employees in the United States.However, most of my employees are students from California, and they don't know much about Princeton University, a university in New England.In addition, there are many grievances and grievances among famous American universities, and the "regional black" in the United States is also famous, so these people have expressed dissatisfaction with their boss's selection of Princeton University.Before Lin Jinqi arrived in the United States, they encouraged Lin Jinqi to transfer to Stanford or UCLA, which is the paradise for American Internet entrepreneurs.Lin Jinqi just laughed at this, but he remembered that the document he signed included the clause not to change schools at will.

After all the preparations are done, the rest is to wait for the time to go abroad.During the waiting time, Lin Jinqi ate two more breakup meals.These two breakup meals were organized by Lin Jinqi sincerely, unlike the previous few times where they were just going through the motions.The first breakup meal was with Long Yuan's dormitory. After all, I'm going to the United States, and my girlfriend still needs her roommates to take care (and monitor), right? In the 2000s, when the trend of "worshiping foreigners and fawning on foreigners" was in vogue, Lin Jinqi naturally entertained Long Yuan's roommates at a French restaurant.On the one hand, let these roommates be soft-spoken; on the other hand, tell these roommates that Long Yuan's boyfriend is not short of money, so don't toss some inexplicable people in front of Long Yuan.

Although this way of showing off wealth is a bit out of style, the effect is still very obvious. After all, the menu of this restaurant is there, and the cost of a table of casual meals can be known with a little calculation.Looking at Lin Jinqi's nonchalant expression and Long Yuan's usual look, the roommates knew that these two couples from small cities were not as short of money as they had imagined.

After eating with Long Yuan's dormitory, of course I ate with my own dormitory at the end.Since it was his own dormitory, Lin Jinqi didn't choose a special place, and directly chose the Northeast restaurant where everyone had their first dinner together.Lin Jinqi reckoned that the next time they met would be when everyone graduated, so the wine they chose was not vague, and the beer was not served directly, and everyone directly took the Red Star Erguotou to fight there.Both Lin Jinqi and Guo Mingtao have good drinking capacity, so Zeng Haolin was the first one to fall down; and Duan Chen, who got acquainted with the student union, has also improved his drinking capacity, so he was the second one to fall down.After Lin Jinqi drank Guo Mingtao into the toilet for the third time, Guo Mingtao finally took the cup and gave up.

"It's not that I look down on you, it's that I'm going to drink too much. You can't send us all back alone." Guo Mingtao pointed to Zeng Haolin who was lying on the dining table sound asleep and dreamed of some beautiful things. And Duan Chen who was laughing loudly. "The two of us have almost drunk, and the friendship is not in the wine glass. Let's stop drinking here this time."

"It was you who used to shout 'deep love', but now you are the one who shouted 'friendship is not in the wine glass', you really have a point in everything you say." Lin Jinqi said a little bit dumbfounded, "OK, let's drink it again. I'm going to get down too. I'm going to pay the bill, and you wake up these two people. I asked the proprietress to prepare a hangover soup, and I'll leave after drinking a bowl. I have to go back and wipe the bodies of these two people, or drink If you fall asleep after sweating so much, you will definitely have a hangover, headache and cold tomorrow."

Lin Jinqi went to pay the bill, and when he came back, he saw that the hangover soup had been served.Zeng Haolin and Duan Chen had already been woken up by Guo Mingtao, Duan Chen still knew when and where it was, so he sat down after drinking the hangover soup obediently and waited for the alcohol to dissipate; And he didn't seem to remember what he was doing here, so Guo Mingtao poured a big bowl of hangover soup with a blank face.As a result, the hangover soup did not clear Zeng Haolin's brain, but it made Zeng Haolin suddenly feel like urinating, and he flushed it to the toilet for several minutes.

After resting for a while, everyone drank some hangover soup and strong tea, got up and left the restaurant after a while.Lin Jinqi and Guo Mingtao could barely walk, while Duan Chen needed someone to support him so that his calves wouldn't spin. As for Zeng Haolin, his "father" Guo Mingtao was naturally carrying him back to the dormitory.After returning to the dormitory, Zeng Haolin originally wanted to fall asleep, but he was dragged to the bathroom by Lin Jinqi and Guo Mingtao to take a bath.There are exactly four places in the public bathroom, and no one is taking a bath at this time, so it happened to be surrounded by Lin Jinqi's bedroom.

Fortunately, the corridor of the dormitory is closed, and there is heating in the bathroom, corridor and dormitory, so Lin Jinqi dared to take a shower.After being washed by hot water, the alcohol in the body will be released faster.But soon the bathroom was filled with the smell of alcohol, and Lin Jinqi estimated that it would be difficult to disperse it tomorrow morning.Because Lin Jinqi didn't prepare bedding in the dormitory, Lin Jinqi chose to sleep with Zeng Haolin regardless of Zeng Haolin's objection.

Before going to sleep, Zeng Haolin expressed aggrievedly that he was still a virgin, but Lin Jinqi threatened that even if he took away Zeng Haolin's chrysanthemum for the first time tonight, Zeng Haolin would still be a virgin by definition.Zeng Haolin was actually convinced of Lin Jinqi's heresy.

"You don't really intend to stab my son in the back tonight, do you?" Guo Mingtao said half-jokingly.

"Come on, I have a girlfriend." Lin Jinqi restrained Zeng Haolin's hands and feet so that the boy would not take all the quilt away in the middle of the night. "It's the two of you who are father and son. Please don't tell me that you two are together after I come back from the United States."

"Fuck you!" Guo Mingtao scolded with a smile, and then Guo Mingtao suddenly remembered something, and said with a bit of a sigh, "Fourth, do you know? I always thought you were the most powerful one in our dormitory, but what I didn't expect was You are so awesome now. To be honest, people who can come to this school to study have their own pride, and I am no exception. I think you will be No.1 in the future, but I will at least be No.2 or No. 3? Now it seems that you are indeed No.1, but I may not be in the top three. Fourth, remember to get out in the United States! If you get out, Xiao Haozi will be yours!"

At first, Lin Jinqi was overwhelmed by Guo Mingtao's words, but in the end, the last sentence made Lin Jinqi lose all his emotions.Lin Jinqi couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said, "I should let you father and son sleep in the same bed, maybe it will be worth a thousand dollars in a spring night!"

Lin Jinqi's gritted teeth made Guo Mingtao laugh for a long time, and then the two chattered some gossip, and finally Lin Jinqi heard Guo Mingtao's signature snoring.Seeing that he had already fallen asleep, Lin Jinqi shook his head and fell asleep.

When he woke up the next day, he heard Zeng Haolin yelling on the bed. He pointed at Lin Jinqi and said, "When did you sleep in the same bed with me? What did you do to me last night?"

"Did you really drink the broken pieces last night?" Lin Jinqi was furious after being woken up by the noise, "If I did something to you, don't you feel a little bit?" Seeing that he could no longer sleep, Lin Jinqi simply Just get up and get dressed.

"Xiao Haozi, with your fleshy figure, if you really get hurt by the fourth child, I think it will be the fourth child who suffers." Guo Mingtao was also woken up by the trouble, but he joked with a smile.He pulled his pants on and got out of bed to get dressed.

"Boss, what you said is weird." Lin Jinqi always felt that there was something wrong with Guo Mingtao's words, but he couldn't remember for a while.

At any rate, there were still Lin Jinqi's toiletries in the dormitory, so Lin Jinqi took these things and the plastic basin to the bathroom for personal hygiene.When Lin Jinqi returned to the dormitory, he knew that his fate with this dormitory would end here.Most of the personal items in the dormitory have been taken away, and the rest are trivial things, and Lin Jinqi doesn't bother to move them.

Lin Jinqi always felt that he should say something, and finally he just said, "I will come to see you in the dormitory when my brothers graduate. At that time, don't you deny that I am not from the dormitory. .”

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Guo Mingtao pulled Lin Jinqi over, and then hugged him vigorously, "You will always be the fourth child in our dormitory. Don't worry, even if there is someone else in your bed, he can only be Fifth."

"Can you stop hugging me so tightly, I can't breathe!" Lin Jinqi struggled, "And I don't think it's good for me to keep the ranking of the fourth child, so there are no other souvenirs? Anyway, we She's also a roommate who lived there for half a year."

"Do you want us three brothers to give you a pair of original | flavor underwear | pants, so that you miss us when you are lonely in the United States?" Guo Mingtao made a movement to take off his pants, "You should stop being hypocritical! , not a man at all!"

"Thank you for your original|flavor underwear|pants!" Lin Jinqi said with a look of disgust. "Okay, brothers, I'll take a step first!"

A few days later, it was time for Lin Jinqi to fly to the United States. The Lin family, Long Yuan and her roommate all went to the airport to see him off.Lin Jinqi's luggage has been checked in, and there is a black technology notebook in the carry-on luggage.Fortunately, this notebook has a shape simulation state, so it will not scare others when you take it out.Naturally, it was another farewell at the airport, which is why Lin Jinqi didn't like to say goodbye.Fortunately, except for the Lin family, they are all young people. For young people, every long-distance trip is an adventure worth looking forward to.And with the gags of these young people, the farewell is not so sad.But as the boarding time approached, Lin Jinqi could only bid farewell to everyone.Amid everyone's blessings, Lin Jinqi started his own check-in procedures.

Since Princeton University is located in New Jersey, Lin Jinqi chose Newark Airport as his destination.Among the three airports in New York City, Newark Airport is naturally not as famous as Kennedy Airport, and if you really want to go to downtown New York City, Newark Airport is definitely not the first choice.However, if you are going to Princeton, where Princeton University is located, Newark Airport or Philadelphia International Airport are more suitable.Since Newark Airport is already on the outskirts of New York City, it is also convenient for volunteers to pick up the airport. After all, no one can endure the terrible traffic conditions in downtown New York City.

Because the destination is Newark Airport, the ticket Lin Jinqi booked happened to be Continental Airlines with Newark Airport as the hub airport.Continental Airlines' air tickets are relatively cheap, but it is a pity that it merged with United Airlines in later generations.Although Continental Airlines' business class and first class services have won numerous awards around the world, Lin Jinqi chose the economy class very low-key.

The ten-hour flight journey is actually very long, and the constant noise and dry air in the airport make people feel irritable.Lin Jinqi was interested in reading Haruki Murakami at first, but soon he found it difficult to calm down and continue studying, so he simply chose to sleep with his head covered.When the flight arrived at Newark Airport in the United States, Lin Jinqi found that her face was already dry and tense.Fortunately, I am still young, if five years later, my skin will definitely have dandruff.

Although Newark Airport is not as busy as Kennedy Airport, as one of the three major airports in New York City, Newark Airport's busyness is definitely unimaginable for second- and third-tier airports in China.After Lin Jinqi got off the plane, he immediately contacted the volunteer who came to pick him up, and said that it would take some time for him to collect his luggage and pass the customs.After confirming each other's itinerary with the other party, Lin Jinqi went to wait for the luggage quite at ease.By the time Lin Jinqi pushed the suitcase out of the airport hall, it was almost an hour after getting off the plane.At the gate of the airport hall, Lin Jinqi met the senior who picked him up, Zhong Wei, the third senior of the third year of mathematics majoring.

Zhong Wei looked at his junior. Although he was tall and big, he still had a baby face, and he might have a male or female appearance, so Zhong Wei felt that Lin Jinqi might not be very old.However, this seemingly young student is still very good in life.After finding Zhong Wei's car, Lin Jinqi took the initiative to stuff the luggage into the trunk.With the development of Huaxia's economy, many Huaxia students have come to study abroad at this time.

In addition to those students who come to study abroad by virtue of their own abilities, there are also many people who rely on their family background to go abroad to be gilded.Zhong Wei naturally avoids the latter, but since everyone in the United States is a foreigner, how can they distinguish you so carefully?Therefore, the behavior of some rat shit really ruined a pot of soup.Leaving aside these rat feces, the children of this generation are basically only children, who didn't grow up pampered at home?It's not that Zhong Wei thinks these children are bad, but that they really lack a foundation to think for others.However, these children have basically reversed after a year or so. Good children are still good children, as long as the education can keep up in time.However, Zhong Wei has never seen many children like Lin Jinqi who can behave like this at such a young age.

"Junior Lin came from Tsinghua University, right? Students from the Tsinghua Department of Princeton University can set up a sorority independently." Zhong Wei said with a smile, "I am from Quanzhou, Fujian. After graduating from Fudan University, I came to Princeton University to study aerospace engineering. .”

"Aeronautical engineering?" Lin Jinqi was surprised when he heard this major, it is really too high a major!Moreover, this major has never been particularly friendly to Chinese students, because Americans always feel that Chinese aerospace technology is stolen from the United States. "Senior has really fulfilled his childhood dream. Didn't we all say that we wanted to be scientists, astronauts or something when we were young?"

"Haha, sort of." Zhong Wei was quite happy with Lin Jinqi's subtle compliment. "I really wanted to be an astronaut before, and then I always wanted to major in astronomy, but I ended up studying aerospace engineering. ——Junior Lin, are you here to study for a master's degree in mathematics? Princeton University's mathematics major is among the top in the world , your professional professor qualifications are really envied by any university. Although the school didn't say it, everyone thinks that mathematics is the trump major. "

"I'm not a master's degree yet." Lin Jinqi talked about the joint training plan between Princeton University and Tsinghua University.

When he heard that the ultimate goal was a doctorate degree from two schools, Zhong Wei showed a hint of envy in his eyes.However, Zhong Wei was even more surprised when he heard that Lin Jinqi needed to take an extra half year of "preparatory course" because he had not completed his undergraduate studies.The annual enrollment quota of Princeton University in China can really be described as single digits, and it is often Huaxia students who have to fight for these admission quotas with students from other parts of Asia.

Zhong Wei was admitted to New York University after graduating from Fudan University, and then to Princeton University as a graduate student.It is easier to calculate than Huaxia students taking the exam directly in Huaxia, but now compared to this junior who has not yet graduated from a bachelor's degree, Zhong Wei feels that his life does not seem to be so genius.

When Zhong Wei drove close to Lawrence's apartment, he reminded: "You better buy a car as soon as possible, otherwise it will be very inconvenient in Princeton. As you can see, the place where Princeton University is located is a suburb of the United States. Here The bus coverage rate is not very high. Although there is a fixed school bus from the apartment area to the campus, once you miss it, there will be no other bus trips. Moreover, it is more convenient for the students to go to New York or Philadelphia in the future. It is more convenient to have a car. The United States The car is not expensive, and there are many good second-hand cars to choose from. During this time, if my junior needs help, I will definitely find time to come over."

"I'm not yet 18 years old." Lin Jinqi said helplessly, "It will take a few months before I can apply."

"That is in China. In the United States, you can apply for a driver's license when you are 18 years old." Zhong Wei said, "But if you are under 18 years old, even if you have a driver's license, you can only drive between [-]:[-] in the morning and [-]:[-] midnight. ;At the same time, you are generally only allowed to carry one passenger. When you reach the age of [-], you can go to the Vehicle Management Bureau to apply for a full driver's license, and the above restrictions will disappear. The American driver's license is actually relatively easy to apply for, and the written test is good for us. It is basically not a problem for Chinese people, let alone Xinze
