Chapter 76 Our son is promising
Wang Yanping knew that Ning Chen loved steamed dumplings stuffed with pickled cabbage, so she specially made some for Ning Chen. After all, Ning Chen would not be able to eat homemade dumplings at school. of dumplings.
Ning Chen couldn't help but feel moved. In this world, the people who care about him the most are always his parents.
However, the two of them brought too much food, and Ning Chen would definitely not be able to finish it by himself.
Ning Chen thought about keeping some for himself and then dividing the rest among his roommates and teachers.
After walking out of the train station, taxi drivers were everywhere soliciting customers. Ning Chen didn't want to take a taxi here.
"Mom and Dad, let's go take a taxi over there. The taxis here don't use meters, and they also share rides. It's not necessarily when we can leave."
"No, no, we Just take the bus, it’s so expensive to take a taxi,” Wang Yanping said.
"It's okay, I don't have much money, and the school is not far from the train station."
Taking his parents to the roadside, Ning Chen quickly got a taxi .
Now the starting taxi fare in Shengzhou is eight yuan, plus mileage and time charges, the price is indeed not too cheap.
It cost 22 yuan to drive from the train station to Shengzhou University, which made Wang Yanping feel a little distressed.
But Wang Yanping also knew that taking the bus would take some time. If Ning Chen was not here, she and Ning Qiang would definitely take the bus.
Ning Chen did not take his parents directly to the school, but went to Xiangdu Garden.
“Chenchen, isn’t your school in that direction?”
Ning Qiang felt that the direction they were going was a little wrong, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Let's not go to school first. I bought a house nearby. You two can live there at night."
Hearing Ning Chen's words, Ning Chen and Wang Yanping both I was stunned for a moment.
"You... bought a house?"
The two of them thought they had heard wrongly. They were ready to find a small hotel nearby to stay tonight.
"Well, I won a prize in a competition before, and the school gave me a lot of bonuses. There happened to be a nice house for sale nearby, and I thought it was suitable, so I bought it. Anyway, if I settle in Shengzhou later, You will have to buy a house sooner or later, and you can save a lot of money if you buy it early."
Ning Qiang and Wang Yanping couldn't believe that Ning Chen had not discussed such a big matter with them before.
But since Ning Chen spent his bonus money to buy the house, this is understandable.
Ning Chen and Wang Yanping followed Ning Chen dubiously. When they arrived at the gate of the community, Ning Chen took out the access card, swiped it, and walked into the community with his parents.
Seeing the access card in Ning Chen's hand, the two knew that Ning Chen might have really bought a house here.
"The environment of this community is good, the price should not be low, right?" Ning Qiang asked.
"Well, the average price now is between six and seven thousand. The one I bought is relatively cheap. I bought it for more than six thousand."
Hearing this price, Ning Qiang and Wang Yanping both He was speechless again and again.
“Houses in Shengzhou are too expensive. The price is three times that of Steel City.” Ning Qiang said.
“Hey, house prices are rising rapidly now, and in a few years the house prices in Steel City will be at this level.”
Walking to Ning Chen's unit, Ning Chen pressed the elevator and came to the 16th floor.
Opening the door, Ning Chen asked Ning Qiang and Wang Yanping to go in.
The moment they entered the room, Ning Qiang and Wang Yanping finally believed that Ning Chen had really bought a house for himself.
"Chenchen, this house is big enough, it must be more than 100 square meters!"
"Well, the area on the property certificate is 120 square meters. The stall is only less than 100 square meters.”
Ning Qiang did a quick calculation and realized how expensive this house was.
"This house must have cost more than 700,000 yuan. Is it all bought with the school's bonus?"
"Absolutely, with a little money earned from tutoring." Ning Chen said.
Ning Chen didn't say that he and Zhou Li borrowed 200,000 yuan, so as not to worry them if he told her.
Ning Chen didn’t know what his parents would think about the fact that he spent more than 700,000 yuan to buy a house, and he was still a little unsure.
After all, I am looking at the current housing prices from the perspective of ten years from now, and my parents may not be able to empathize with me.
But after a while, Ning Qiang suddenly said with emotion:
"We have made a fortune in the morning, and we can buy a house with our own strength. If we only rely on the money saved by the two of us, "Ning Qiang and Wang Yanping have naturally been saving money for Ning Chen. After all, they know that Ning Chen will have to spend a lot of money to buy a house and get married in the future, and this money is impossible. Rely on Ning Chen to make money by yourself in the future.
Now Ning Chen’s performance made them both feel a lot more relaxed. Ning Chen really reassured them both.
"You don't need to save money for me. I can already make a living on my own. I will save some money later and buy you a big house in Gangcheng."
After all, the houses in Gangcheng are not as good as those in Shengzhou. In hot demand, Ning Chen had to put his priority on buying a house in Steel City.
Hearing that Ning Chen wanted to change their house, Ning Qiang and Wang Yanping waved their hands.
“Hey, don’t change our house. Our current house is pretty good. We only live in it for the two of us. If we want a big house, it won’t be easy to clean up.”
"Yes, if you have money, save it first. There will be many places for you to use your money in the future. Although the two of us don't earn much, we can't spend it all on our own."
Ning Qiang and Wang Yanping had just arrived at Ning Chen's house and seemed a little uncomfortable. Ning Chen took them around the house.
Seeing several trophies and award certificates in the study, Ning Qiang couldn't help but ask:
"Chenchen, is this the trophy you got in the competition?"
< br>"Well, it's a total of five gold and one silver. I mainly relied on these bonuses to buy this house." Ning Chen said with a smile.
“Five gold medals and one silver medal... This is equivalent to a national championship. It’s really amazing!”
Ning Qiang picked up the trophy and award certificate, admired them admiringly, and took out his mobile phone to take photos.
"It's not that great. It's all compared with people of the same age, and there are still many masters who haven't signed up." Ning Chen said modestly.
At this time, Wang Yanping saw several journals placed on the bookshelf.
“By the way, I heard from Xiaolong that you also published a few papers, are these the ones?”
“Well, these are the academic journals where I published papers, each one contains Only one is my paper.”
Wang Yanping picked up a journal and flipped through it. She found that it was all in English and she couldn't understand it at all.
Ning Qiang, on the other hand, was much smarter and found Ning Chen’s paper in no time.
"Look, isn't this 'CHENNING' our family's Chenchen? In the West, the first name comes first and the last name comes last."
"Hey, it's true, then Please tell me more about the content of this paper."
"Well...this really stumps me," Ning Qiang scratched his head.
Ning Qiang said in his heart that he knew most of the letters and numbers on it, but he couldn't understand them together.
After staying in the room for a while, Ning Qiang and Wang Yanping were no longer as unfamiliar with this house as they were at the beginning.
At this time, Ning Chen took out a key and handed it to Wang Yanping.
"You can just sleep in the south bedroom at night. This is the door key, and this is the access card. Go to the community door and swipe it, and the community door will open. In the future, you can come to Shengzhou often when you have time. If you have a place It’s so convenient to live in.”
“Hey, this is your house, we can’t just live in it, we have to tell you before we move in.”
"Mom, it's a shame to say this. I can live in your house casually."
Ning Qiang saw this and said: "Let's not be polite to Chenchen, and we will have sex with Chenchen later." I have a girlfriend, so we won’t bother you, haha.”
……
In the past two days, Ning Chen took some time to walk around the campus with his parents, which is obvious. Ning Qiang and Wang Yanping were very happy and kept lamenting that learning can really change their destiny.
After seeing his parents off, Ning Chen returned to the laboratory and continued his experiments.
After several days of research and testing, Ning Chen completed the production of the first silicon-based negative electrode for lithium batteries and conducted tests on battery capacity.
Although the first silicon-based negative electrode was still relatively rough, after testing, lithium batteries using silicon as the negative electrode did have a higher battery capacity density.
This gave both Ning Chen and Xu Zhou greater confidence in this experimental subject.
What made the two of them even more delighted was that on this day, the editor of the journal "ACSNano" responded to the paper that Ning Chen had submitted before.
In the reply, the editor expressed his affirmation of the paper and highlighted some suggested changes.
"Ning Chen, if nothing else happens, your paper will be included in "ACSNano" after revision!"
