"Pfft..."
"Actually, your father and I have already noticed that, hey... it's just the girls who are suffering." After saying that, she looked at Chen Yushan who looked shy, smiled kindly and continued, "Shanshan, , our Lu Zhou has been quite upright since he was a child. He is straightforward when thinking about problems and doing things. Sometimes his words are not very nice, but I can assure you that his heart is still very kind. From now on, please."
"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I understand, you don't have to explain it to me," Fang Mei said with a smile, "Your uncle and I also came from that age."
Fang Mei thought she was choking, so she patted her back with concern and got her a glass of hot water from the side.
"Mom, what are you talking about? If you are honest, you must be honest. Why don't my words sound good?"
Lu Zhou: "..."
"Oh," Lu Zhou said casually, "then what is important."
However, this optimism did not dilute the regret and reluctance that permeated the venue.
Maybe that's just how people are.
Seeing that everyone had something to do, Lu Zhou was embarrassed to be idle alone, so he also wanted to find something to do for himself. However, as soon as he opened his mouth, he was blocked by my mother.
"You are wrong, son," Lao Lu shook his head, pointed his drunken breath at his son, forced a serious expression on his face, and continued, "Whether you have a wife or not is secondary."
That night, Lu Zhou's wife Fang Mei cooked a whole table of delicious food, and the family sat together to eat. The atmosphere was lively like a Chinese New Year.
Lu Zhou took the plate from his father's hand and sighed.
"Dad, you've drunk too much, it's better to take it easy."
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhou immediately became unhappy.
Taking the kettle and filling his father's cup with warm water, Lu Zhou replied.
"You said it's okay, but you're coughing like crazy."
Lu Zhou: "...?"
She didn't expect her boyfriend to have such a cute... cute past. Chen Yushan's shoulders were shaking violently. Maybe she had a stomachache from suppressing her laughter, so she simply pretended to cough and buried her face under the table.
"Do you know what makes your dad happiest?"
"Come on, this is just a few drinks."
It's not that he's bragging. Although he doesn't have a particular hobby for wine, he has always had a good drinking capacity.
"...I finally fulfilled your old man's wish and got a wife back?"
"No...I'm fine, Auntie."
Just when the vision of the global aerospace industry was taken away by this majestic starship, a big event happened in the physics world.
After thinking for a while, he didn't understand the reason behind it.
They have to walk the rest of the way alone.
It was rare for him to drink without being squeezed by his wife, so Lao Lu took out the fine wine he had collected for a long time and placed it generously on the table.
On the one hand, it is naturally genetic, but on the other hand, it is probably because the system has helped him strengthen his metabolic function. Sometimes after drinking too much, he would indeed feel dizzy like a normal person, but as long as he ran to the toilet to get some water, he would basically feel like a normal person.
The Xu Fu has left the earth-moon system, carrying the expectations of hundreds of millions of Chinese people, and heading towards the desert tens of millions of kilometers away.
"The important thing is... after living outside for so many years, you finally have a home."
Lu Zhou clinked glasses with his father and looked at the old man happily taking a sip of boiled water. Lu Zhou silently took a sip of the wine in the glass.
"Eat slowly, don't choke."
With the final handover of the IMCRC work finally completed, Lu Zhou was finally able to make time to deal with some personal issues while Xu Fu was still on its way to Mars. .
Regardless of how Alexander Luo Wenxuan was when he took the microphone and stood on the stage, the moment he stepped off the podium, Lu Zhou really felt indescribably relaxed.
In his speech, Lu Zhou expressed an optimistic vision for the future of physics, believing that this discipline will usher in unprecedented prosperity in the next hundred years and radiate this prosperity to every corner of human society.
Upon hearing these words, Lao Lu was immediately bribed into silence, happily put on his shoes and went out to buy groceries.
"... When you won the Fields Medal, your father and I were never drunk, and I was not drunk when you won the Nobel Prize. It seems that you can't run away now," Lao Lu held the wine glass in his hand. He sighed and said, "Your father is old."
Is there any difference between the two
Looking at her aunt with a kind smile on her face, Chen Yushan blushed and said, "It's okay... Although he is indeed a bit too upright sometimes, I still like this about him."
"Auntie, let me help you."
This time it was Lao Lu's turn to be unhappy and retorted.
Fortunately, I simply didn’t think about it.
Even Professor Whittle, who had been opposing him throughout his tenure, couldn't help but feel sad for his departure.
"...I counted correctly, it should be the seventeenth cup."
Is this something humans do
"You're not sixty yet, why are you so old?"
Lu Zhou smiled helplessly and said nothing.
People who like to listen to his speech can queue up from the Department of Mathematics of Jinling University to the Space Launch Center. This statement has no scientific basis at all.
"What do you mean, I came from that age. Can I be the same as this kid? I was—"
"More than fifty is not too young... I think you were so old when you were sitting on a stool, and your legs couldn't reach the floor. Now you are taller than me." Both eyes stared at the ceiling, as if thinking of something fun. As if it was a matter of fact, Lao Lu suddenly chuckled and said nonchalantly, "It was still interesting back then. I still remember that I secretly fed you a mouthful of white food when your mother wasn't paying attention, and then watched you go around in circles. He ran to the ground and started a drunken fist fight."
After leaving Shanghai, Lu Zhou did not return to Jinling. Instead, he took Chen Yushan to his hometown of Jiangling and told his parents about their decision.
…
Only when you lose something will you remember the beauty of having it.
"... Please don't show such an expression, you will make me feel embarrassed."
"What? It's only seven cups. It doesn't add up to two pounds. It's still too early to get your father drunk... But you can still calculate so clearly how many cups you have had. You are worthy of being a mathematician."
So he coughed lightly, briefly summarized and concluded his speech in two sentences, then handed the microphone to Senior Brother Luo and walked quickly off the stage.
After finishing a glass of wine, Lu Bangguo stretched out his hand towards his wine flask, but instead of touching the wine flask, he touched the plate. If Lu Zhou, who was sitting next to him, had not been quick with his eyesight and quick hands, he would have almost filled himself up with the appetizer instead of wine. .
Reading the confusion in her son's eyes, Fang Mei sighed softly.
"It's impossible to squeeze three people into such a small place. Just don't cause trouble and just wait in the living room to eat!"
Almost everyone listened to his speech with a heavy heart, and gave him solemn and solemn applause at the end.
To Lu Zhou's surprise, he originally thought that after hearing the news, even if his parents were not surprised, they would at least express surprise.
There was no joy in the applause. Instead, it was heavy, not like leaving office, but more like the funeral of a big shot.
It is precisely because of this that he, who has not been drunk for many years, got drunk for a rare time today.
Seeing Lu Zhou deflated in front of my mother, Chen Yushan couldn't help but feel a little funny, so she secretly stuck out her tongue and made a face at him, and then followed Fang Meidi triumphantly into the kitchen...
"What are you going to do? If you want to learn how to use both hands, just talk to me by your side. Your aunt can handle it by herself." Seeing her future daughter-in-law being so virtuous, Fang Mei became more and more satisfied and her eyes narrowed with a smile. .
At this moment, Professor Whittle finally understood what his old friend said, what a blessing it is to have a wise leader leading the way.
Looking at the eyes in the audience dumbfounded, Lu Zhou felt that if this emotion was allowed to continue, it might not be a good thing for his successor, Senior Brother Luo.
Although Lu Zhou had expressed his opinion more than once a long time ago that he would only serve as chairman for one term, when the moment of his resignation really came, people couldn't help but get caught up in the memories of the past, and couldn't help but think in their minds. He once led IMCRC to create incredible miracles one after another.
Although there are still many burdens on his shoulders, at least the heaviest one has come to an end.
He was usually only willing to drink a small cup at a time, but this time he seemed to be willing to go all out, dragging his son to drink cup after cup.
If his father hadn't told him, he wouldn't have known that he had such a dark history when he was a child.
"Okay, okay, you are a well-known handsome young man in this ten-mile radius... If you have some free time, go to the vegetable market and buy a fish for your son and daughter-in-law. Speaking of which, you are going to a bar tonight, so remember to come back. I’ll buy another two pounds of pig’s trotters and ears when the time comes, and I’ll make some snacks to go with the wine later.”
"Mom, I'm here to help too."
However, the reality was completely opposite to what he expected. Not only did his father and mother not feel any surprise, they even had some emotion on their faces.
Chen Yushan rolled her eyes, stood next to Fang Mei with a smile, and took the initiative to suggest.
With the successful convening of the IMCRC committee meeting and the election of the new chairman, Lu Zhou, the first chairman of IMCRC, also stood on the podium in the conference hall as scheduled, facing the representatives of various countries, board members and well-known figures in the physics community. Daniel, delivered his resignation speech.
