As if to restrain the excitement in his heart.
Looking sideways at Lao Zhou, Lao Lu said, "Your daughter is studying in Jiangcheng. Taking the high-speed rail back here is faster than taking the subway from the city to the suburbs. Can this be compared?"
Winning
Since he retired from the front-line position to the logistics position, Lao Lu has been busy every day. He is either carrying a fishing rod to go fishing with his fishing friends all day long, or he goes to the office of his unit to sit and drink tea and read the newspaper.
After taking a sip of the aged wine, Zhou Ping, sitting opposite Lao Lu, said with emotion.
Lao Lu smiled and shook his head without saying anything.
But before this breath came out, she reacted instantly.
As if to maintain the dignity of journalists.
Such an old comrade has nothing to express condolences to.
Zhou Ping: "I heard that your son is not married yet?"
At the same time that Lu Zhou received the call, there was an inconspicuous factory compound in the small town of Jiangling, far inland of China.
The two elders were bragging, and the TV set not far away was also showing the news broadcast.
Even if no one told him, he actually knew that he had benefited from his son.
No matter what award it is, it is also a Nobel Prize!
"Awesome, junior..."
The air was quiet for about half a minute.
When saying this, the host paused for a second.
Just after a news broadcast, the host took a piece of paper from the side.
Finally coming back to his senses, Chen Baohua looked at Lu Zhou with wide eyes and asked incoherently.
Lu Bangguo: "...What's wrong?"
Chen Yushan breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that it was the chemistry award.
At this time, Chen Yushan, who had been in a dazed state, came to her senses and asked in a low voice: "Is there a Nobel Prize in Mathematics?"
The silence lasted about a minute.
"You are still living a comfortable life. You go out to catch game every now and then and have two glasses of wine at home. If you were to leave it to me, I wouldn't trade it for the life of a god."
"A temporary piece of news will be inserted below."
I am very sure of that.
"Yes." Lu Zhou nodded again in confirmation.
In a steady voice, she continued to read out the temporary press release in her hand.
Although he didn't check his watch, Lu Zhou estimated that it must have been that long.
"At the same time, he will also become the first scholar in the world to win the Nobel Prize and the Fields Medal at the same time!"
Chen Baohua:…
After quickly reading the content on the paper, a surprised expression flashed across the host's face.
Lu Zhou's expression was full of indescribable weirdness when he thought about how he almost hung up the Nobel Prize call twice. It seems that from now on, you really can’t just hang up on these strange calls, you have to at least listen to what they say...
…
But at this moment, he was probably still mostly confused.
Lu Bangguo glanced at him sideways: "What do you mean?"
Putting a piece of fish meat into his bowl, Zhou Ping said with a smile: "Come on, don't torment our Secretary Wu. The leaders of the city and province come here to express condolences to the old comrades, you would be in this factory." Secretary, dare I put you in a front-line position?"
Zhou Ping: "Don't consider...finding a partner?"
He asked himself that he had never done anything earth-shattering in his life, and he was not very good at talking. He had worked diligently as a screw in the factory all his life, and his greatest honor was just being rated as advanced in the factory, and he was still in a front-line position. I was only evaluated the year before last after I retired.
Lu Bangguo: "Yeah."
But soon, she adjusted from her surprise.
After asking Fang Mei to help cook the fish and stir-fry two dishes to go with the wine, Lao Lu then poured out a few ounces of the fine wine he had collected and set up a small table in the living room.
"Because of his outstanding contribution to the research on the 'theoretical model of electrochemical interface structure', Professor Lu Zhou, who graduated from Jinling University and is now teaching at Princeton University, will be the only winner and enjoy the entire prize of 9 million kronor!"
Although she had known that Lu Zhou was very good at mathematics, and that he was internationally famous, she did not expect that he was not only good at mathematics, but also terrible at chemistry.
For a moment, Chen Yushan didn't even realize that the way she looked at him was different.
There was no hiding anything, Lu Zhou answered truthfully.
"How can this be possible? You forget your home as soon as you go out." At this point, Lao Zhou couldn't help but show off his daughter, "Look at my daughter, that's all she is good at. She can't leave home." . No matter whether it’s a long or short holiday, as soon as the holiday comes, I’ll run home.”
Although he has never heard of the Hoffman Medal and has never known the Fields Medal, the Nobel Prize, an almost deified award, is known even by Lao Lu, who has never left the small town of Gangneung.
Lao Zhou's eyes widened, and his aura suddenly changed: "I wonder which brat dares!"
I'm not very good at dealing with others praising me to my face.
Lu Zhou smiled sheepishly: "It's not bad."
Oh my god!
As the highest honor in academia, if anyone says that he is not interested in the Nobel Prize, he is either showing off, or he is saying sour grapes...
Lao Lu curled his lips: "Oh, you wait until she has a partner before you brag to me."
Excited
Zhou Ping: "Old Lu..."
Zhou Ping smiled sheepishly: "How about you see... how is my daughter?"
The first one to break the silence was Lu Bangguo's fishing friend.
"On today, October 4th, about 15 minutes ago, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced the list of candidates for the 2018 Nobel Prize in Chemistry... "
Lao Lu smiled and said nonchalantly: "They all have their own affairs, I don't worry about them. If you have time, just come back to celebrate the New Year. If you don't have time, just call home. That's pretty much it."
"It's so comfortable. I've only gained weight every day. I have to retire in a few more years and have more time. I'd rather the factory find me some work." Although the tone of saying this was complaining, the old man The expression on Lu's face was a smile.
"Nobel Prize..."
Hearing Lu Zhou's sudden words, Chen Baohua was stunned for a moment and subconsciously asked: "What prize did you win?"
"Oh, chemistry prize."
To be honest, he was quite surprised when he received the call.
Although Professor Eitel promised him that he would nominate his name to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, he never thought that this day would come so quickly.
It was the National Day holiday and the weather was nice again. He caught two incredibly fat crucian carps. Lu Bangguo was so happy that he took the fishing friends who went fishing with him to his home.
Lao Zhou laughed, waved his hand and said, "Where you are is not important. What is important is that your heart is here."
After pouring another cup into his own cup, Zhou Ping continued, "By the way, it's National Day. Your great mathematician can't come back, and your daughter who went to college in Jinling hasn't come back either?"
The news network continued to show, but the living room became quiet.
So much so that now he is not mentally prepared at all.
"Nobel? That Nobel?"
"No," Lu Zhou shook his head, "It's the chemistry award."
