Chapter 363 My Brother Doesn’t Have a Girlfriend!
After attending Fa Xiao’s wedding, New Year’s Eve and Spring Festival are coming soon.
The flavor of the New Year gradually gets stronger over time, and the small mountain village begins to be filled with the faint smell of gunpowder smoke after the fireworks. Those who have been working hard outside all year round have also returned to their hometowns, walking around and visiting in the village. Neighbor elders whom I haven’t seen in a long time.
On the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, Xu Chuan and Xu Xiao went to worship their ancestors with their father.
On the 30th New Year's Day, it is also a custom in southern Hunan to go to worship ancestors one day in advance and invite ancestors to go home for reunion during the New Year.
Compared with previous years, this year's cemetery has been renovated inside and out. The road up the mountain has been paved with stone slabs. The overgrown weeds and shrubs are no longer there. Even the graves that have no home or descendants have been restored. Under the organization of the village, new soil was planted and incense candles and paper flowers were inserted.
These are all changes brought about by Xu Chuan. There is such a great scholar and scientist in the village. Not only his family's ancestral tombs, but also the ancestral tombs mountain must be repaired and sorted out no matter what.
After going up the mountain to pay New Year's greetings to his ancestors, Xu Chuan just returned home when he saw two cars parked in front of his house.
Walking in, inside the room, Xu's mother was entertaining several familiar guests.
"Hey, our Academician Xu is back."
Seeing Xu Chuan come in, a middle-aged man stood up with a smile and shouted.
Xu Chuan smiled and greeted: "Principal Yuan, Teacher Tang, Teacher Xu"
Those who came to visit his home were several familiar teachers and school leaders from Xingcheng No. 1 Middle School.
Tang Gaoyuan walked up with a smile, looked the student up and down, then reached out and patted his shoulder: "Not bad, we all became academicians this year."
Xu Chuan smiled and said, "It's all taught well by Teacher Tang."
On the side, Yuan Jiye laughed and joked: "Look, I knew this was what he said. For several years, he only replied to this sentence when Old Tang praised him, and it hasn't changed at all."
Hearing this, the group burst into laughter, and Xu Chuan's face turned slightly red.
After unpacking the tea leaves given to him by the great elder and brewing a few more cups of tea, the group of people chatted in the room. After chatting for a while, the principal Yuan Jiye coughed lightly and said:
"I'm here this time, and I have one more thing to ask you for help with."
Hearing this, Xu Chuan quickly said: "Principal, please tell me, I will try my best to help."
He is a student who graduated from Star City No. 1 Middle School. Although it is only a high school, his academic career actually started there.
In other words, it should be Old Tang who laid a real foundation for learning for him.
Yuan Jiye said with a smile: "Actually, it's not a big deal. Thanks to students like you, after the New Year this year, our No. 1 Middle School will also expand next year and prepare to build more teaching buildings and dormitories. "
"Isn't it because the school has produced a Nobel Prize winner and a Fields Medal winner? The school wants to borrow your name as the name of the teaching building, so that the new students can benefit from your talent and academic spirit as a literary star. "
Giving a name is really not a big deal.
Don’t you see how many rich people’s favorite thing to do is to donate money to the school to build a building and then name it after themselves?
Leaving a name in history should be the dream of most people.
However, there are only a few people who can do this throughout the thousands of years of human civilization.
But finding another way and using other methods to stay famous in academia is also a good choice.
For example, the nationally famous Shaw Tower was built and built with donations from the famous entertainment tycoon Run Run Shaw.
Hearing this, Xu Chuan was stunned for a moment. He originally thought that his alma mater came to him and wanted to ask him to give a speech or report to the students, but he did not expect that this was the case.
The expansion of No. 1 Middle School is indeed a great thing for the alma mater.
It was just named after him. Xu Chuan thought about it but didn't completely refuse.
After thinking for a while, he said: "Rather than naming it after me, it's better to call it 'Chuanhai Tower', which means how the students from the alma mater flow into the sea and live forever; just as the river flows into the sea, they will eventually be born." Return."
Hearing this, several school leaders and teachers looked at each other.
Tang Gaoyuan thought for a while and said: "The name Chuanhailou is indeed good, but it is difficult to associate it with you."
"How about this. Chuanhai Building can be used as the name of the new dormitory building. All rivers return to the sea and students return home. It has a good meaning. As for the teaching building, it would be better to name it after you."
After a pause, Old Tang added: "Don't be so shy all the time. It's just a name. No one else can ask for it. Wouldn't it be better to let your juniors and juniors gain some talent?"
Hearing this, Xu Chuan looked dumbfounded. How could he be like this?
In the end, Xu Chuan agreed to his alma mater's request.
After all, he also hopes that his alma mater can produce more outstanding students.
The visit from the leader of a lieutenant colonel is actually just a microcosm.
Ever since he came back to celebrate the New Year, people have been coming over one after another, including the city leaders from Star City and the leaders from the Education Bureau.
Although Xu Chuan is not very interested in these things, he has nothing to do since people are coming to his door. He can't just stay behind closed doors.
Fortunately, time flies by quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the night of New Year’s Eve has arrived.
Xu Xiao, who still has a childlike innocence, ran to the store and bought a lot of fireworks and firecrackers, and took Xu Chuan to set them off together.
More than a dozen cannons pointed directly into the sky, and grains of gold sand shot out, blooming proudly in the sky. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, everything is complete and colorful, decorating the night sky beautifully and gracefully, and illuminating the earth as if it were daytime.
"Brother! Happy New Year!"
At twelve o'clock, the New Year's bell rang, and amid the lively sound of firecrackers, Xu Xiao held his throat and shouted with laughter.
Xu Chuan smiled warmly, reached out and touched the head of the big girl, and looked at the gorgeous fireworks blooming in the sky.
A new year, a new beginning, I hope there will be a good harvest and breakthrough this year!
After setting off the New Year's Eve firecrackers, Xu Chuan retreated to the room. His parents were watching TV, and he took out his mobile phone to respond to those blessing messages, and flipped through the address book, sending messages and making calls.
Outside the house, Xu Xiao, who had been playing for a while and smelled of gunpowder, ran in. Seeing that Xu Chuan was busy with his own things, he did not disturb him. He sat cross-legged on the sofa and took out his mobile phone to start grabbing red envelopes and sending red envelopes in the group.
After a long time, Xu Xiao, who felt a little sore in his neck, turned his head and turned around to see that his brother was still sitting there motionless.
Her dark eyes rolled around, she opened WeChat, found the group "Believe in Love" and started to operate.
After a while, Xu Chuan, who was sending WeChat messages to wish a happy new year, suddenly found that many people in the group of relatives and friends tagged him.
Clicking it, he saw a bunch of red envelopes in the group chat history.
But the name of the red envelope stunned him.
[Two orioles sing in the green willows, my brother has no girlfriend! ]
[The brocade harp has fifty strings for no reason, my brother has no girlfriend! ]
[There are trees on the mountain and branches on the trees, my brother has no girlfriend! ]
[Ask a sister how much sorrow can she have, my brother has no girlfriend! ]
[.]
Looking at the red envelopes in the group of relatives and friends, and the people who sent the red envelopes, Xu Chuan's blood pressure rose instantly. He looked up and saw that the culprit who was staring at him and paying attention to the movements here made a face and quickly got up from the sofa and ran away.
Just as he got up and chased after him, before he caught up with the culprit, the phone in his hand rang.
He stopped and took a look. The person who called him was Professor David Gross, the chairman of the board of directors at CERN.
Xu Chuan stopped when he received the call from this person.
"Xu, I wish you a happy new year!"
When the call was connected, David Gross said in his somewhat poor Mandarin: "I heard that today is the Chinese New Year. Happy New Year!"
Xu Chuan smiled and said, "Thank you for your blessing."
Gross: "I called you today and I have good news to tell you!"
Xu Chuan smiled and asked, "What good news?"
"After the discussion of the CERN Board of Directors, we decided to postpone the upgrade of the LHC and arrange personnel to go to China to inspect and discuss the purchase of high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting materials."
Xu Chuan smiled and said, "This is the best news I have heard on the first day of the new year. I am very happy to cooperate with CERN."
Gross smiled and said, "CERN is also honored Fortunately, I can have an in-depth exchange with a great scholar like you. I hope that we can successfully find the traces of dark matter together in the future. "
"In addition, I would like to ask you when it is convenient for me to arrange for someone to go to China to meet you."
Xu Chuan: "Of course, this is not only the goal of the physics community, but also my goal."
"As for the time, today is January 25th of the international Gregorian calendar. After February 5th, I should be working in Jinling. The days after that are convenient for me."
Gross smiled and said: "Then I won't disturb you and your family reunion today. I wish you a happy new year and see you after February 5th."
Xu Chuan smiled and said: "No problem, I will wait for you at Jinling Nanda."
