Chapter 159 Chinese New Year
After receiving the mission, Xu Qingzhou walked out of the door in a hurry. When he walked out of the door, he couldn't help but take a long breath.
In the afternoon, the golden sunshine passed through the sparse sycamore branches, leaving mottled tree shadows on the old walls of the community. Walking on the road, you can hear the rustling sound of your feet on the leaves.
At this time, the spirit of the New Year is already very strong, and the shops along the street hang up red lanterns and couplets, adding a bit of festive flavor.
When I came back from buying soy sauce, at the gate of the community, Uncle Zhang, who was on duty, had just arrived from his shift and was smoking a cigarette.
When someone comes in, he takes the trouble to press the door lock.
"Uncle Zhang, he's on duty."
"Xiao Xu~ I'm going shopping. Your dad just came in."
"He went fishing."
Before leaving, Xu Qingzhou said with a smile: "Smoking less is not good for your health."
"It's all about this cigarette~" The old man waved his hand with a smile.
Xu Qingzhou shook his head helplessly and walked home with the soy sauce. He vaguely remembered that the old man seemed to have been ill, and then he quit smoking completely.
At this time, the old ladies and old men who were walking outside had not yet returned home.
No, he just walked a few steps when he met his next door neighbor.
"Hey, I haven't seen our great scientist for a long time."
Xu Qingzhou smiled softly: "Aunt Hu, you are not a scientist, I am just a student."
Someone else said: "Qingzhou, you've been back for so long and you still don't come out for a walk, like a newly married girl."
"Read a book at home."
"No wonder I was admitted to Beijing University. I spent all my time reading during the holidays."
"This kid, before, I thought he would have great potential in the future. Look, he has become a celebrity now."
Two minutes later, Xu Qingzhou finally got rid of his uncle and aunt and returned home.
Sure enough, Lao Xu is back.
In the kitchen, Ms. Wang was processing fish scales. It was a grass carp, which looked like it weighed about four or five pounds.
Xu Qingzhou glanced at the fish, which was jumping lively. It was indeed different from the sickly fish that Lao Xu usually brought back. It was obviously really caught, so he flattered him: "Tsk, dad, you caught such a big fish, that's awesome." ”
He estimated that he would definitely be lectured by Ms. Wang frequently during this period. With Lao Xu here, he could leave early during the lecture.
Lao Xu raised his eyebrows proudly, feeling that he had finally proven himself, so he talked about his brilliant achievements, "I got two today, and a small one, which I gave to Lao Cheng. Haha, this guy squatted all afternoon, and he actually Not one."
Listening to Lao Xu complaining about fishing friends, completely ignoring that he is also a big man in the Air Force, Xu Qingzhou was amused and praised against his will: "Two more? That's awesome!"
"What a pity. I originally had a bigger one, at least 8 pounds, but it got decoupled."
"Decoupled? What a pity~"
Wang Xiaping couldn't listen anymore, and turned around to look at the two father and son who were eating, "Would you like me to set up a stage for you two in the community, and you can go up and have a talk?"
"Ahem~ Qingzhou, help your mother peel the garlic while I change my clothes."
"Oh, okay."
The days at home go by so fast, and in a blink of an eye it’s already the thirtieth of the twelfth lunar month.
During the time he came back, there were more than a dozen messages asking Xu Qingzhou to go out for dinner, all of which were related to various class reunions.
The original plan was to call Guo Ziyang and Ding Jiahui out for a meal, but the two seemed to be angry with each other and said they had something to do. Xu Qingzhou and Song Yao had no choice but to give up the meal plan for the time being.
These two people just let them solve their own problems, and the lively atmosphere of the festival blew away the coldness of winter.
On this day, Xu Qingzhou woke up at 10 o'clock in the morning. He had no choice but to stay up until after two o'clock last night.
Although I was a little helpless at first, these days are not without gains.
In some respects, the twin prime conjecture and Goldbach's conjecture are not really parallel. For example, for the twin prime conjecture, a=-2 in Bombieri-Vinogradov theorem, which is A fixed value.
It's not as illusory as Goldbach's conjecture.
Moreover, with the pearls and jade from Zhang Yitang and others in front, he will not look like a headless fly. At present, Xu Qingzhou's main goal is to improve the screening method and gradually narrow the scope. However, moving forward is also very complicated.
As if she heard Xu Qingzhou getting up, Wang Xiaping came out of the kitchen, glanced at him, and then put a bowl of dumplings on the table.
"Where's my dad?" Xu Qingzhou laughed.
Wang Xiaping raised her chin towards the balcony and said, "The pig brains are roasting outside. After eating, hurry up and help."
"good."
After washing up and eating dumplings, Xu Qingzhou ran to the balcony to help. When he opened the balcony glass, he could smell the smell of burning pig hair, and the sound of banging firecrackers could already be heard in the community.
In winter, even in Chengdu, the wind is freezing.
Seeing Xu Qingzhou wearing two pieces of clothing, Xu Shouyun said, "Wear more clothes. It's cold outside. The weather forecast says it's going to snow tonight."
"It's okay, you won't feel cold if you move." Xu Qingzhou chuckled, picked up his sleeves, and went up to help.
"You two, father and son, be smart."
At six o'clock in the evening, it started to snow lightly outside the house, and the cold wind brought snow particles to the windows. The house was very warm, and delicious meals were already served on the Xu family's dining table.
Xu Shouyun took out a bottle of wine from the cabinet and poured some for all three of them.
After dinner, we sat on the sofa and watched the Spring Festival Gala.
At 11:40, Xu Qingzhou picked up his mobile phone and went into the bedroom.
"It's great. Before you know it, this brat has become an adult." Wang Xiaping sighed with emotion.
Xu Shouyun also looked sad: "Children grow up too fast."
Wang Xiaping added: "The only regret is that we have so few family members that we can't even get together a mahjong table."
"Maybe it will be soon." Xu Shouyun began to look forward to it while drinking tea.
In the bedroom, Xu Qingzhou pressed the answer button, and a girl's pleasant voice sounded on the phone, "Why did it take so long to answer the phone?"
"I'm chatting with my parents in the living room." Xu Qingzhou said with a smile.
"I'm not disturbing you." Song Yao sat on the bed and touched the glass with her fingers. A layer of mist condensed on it, and she traced it lightly with her index finger.
Xu Qingzhou smiled softly, "My parents really hope you will disturb me like this."
"Are you going to the countryside to celebrate the New Year?"
"Yes, the old man at home has long been asking us to go there."
When the time came to 12 o'clock, it seemed that the whole world was becoming lively.
"Song Yao."
"Um."
Xu Qingzhou looked at the gorgeous fireworks outside the window and said, "Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year."
After chatting briefly for a while, the two hung up the phone. Song Yao exhaled and was in a good mood, planning to continue sitting with her parents for a while.
She opened the door, but their eyes met.
Song Shisong and Zhang Junli stood at the door, as if they didn't expect their daughter to finish the phone call so quickly.
"Your dad is eavesdropping." Zhang Junli coughed dryly.
Song Shisong: "?"
During the past few days of the New Year, Xu Qingzhou really didn't read the information. To be precise, he didn't have time. He was either paying New Year's greetings or on the way to pay New Year's greetings.
During this period, I went back to my hometown to visit my grandparents who are retiring in the countryside.
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the family returned to Chengdu with a car full of things - there was even an old hen stuffed in the trunk.
