As the Xinwen Network broadcast, even though it was only a short two or three-minute interlude, the popularity of Xu Chuan winning the Crafford Award was still rising rapidly. It was no longer limited to the Internet, and directly broke out of the circle, and was attracted by many people who did not use the Internet very much.
known to the people.
Star City, No. 1 Middle School.
Several little girls walked together and looked at the newly hung banner in front of the teaching building. One of the girls poked her best friend next to her.
"Xiaoxiao, I remember your brother's name is Xu Chuan, right? Your brother seems to have won another award. Last time it was the Morning Star Mathematics Award, and this time it's the Crafford Award?"
"But what kind of prize is this? Xiaoxiao, do you know?"
Xu Xiao tied her hair in a ponytail, stared at the banner hanging on the teaching building and nodded proudly, then shook her head, the ponytail behind her head swaying slightly.
She didn’t know what the Craford Award was, but if the school could hang a banner, it would definitely be famous!
With such an excellent brother as her life goal, she still needs to work harder to catch up with him and then surpass him!
.......
Xiangnan, Y County, Xujia Village.
A group of fellow villagers were sitting on the floor in front of Xu Chuan's house, chatting and having fun.
Ever since Xu Chuan provided money to the village to repair hydraulic facilities such as ponds, dams, ditches, etc., people in the village began to like to come to his house to sit and have a romantic relationship.
Although the folks in the village are simple and honest, where there are people there is society.
Favors come and go. If you are poor in the busy city and have no one to care about you, if you are rich in the mountains and have distant relatives, this is normal.
"Jianguo, your new house will be repaired soon. When are you going to hold the housewarming party?"
On the brand new cement floor, several villagers were chatting in the shade.
Xu's father threw a cigarette over with a smile, and distributed one to several other people around him, saying: "Not yet, the walled yard is not finished yet, it will take another month, we will finish it."
"Will Kawako be back by then?" the middle-aged man asked as he took the cigarette, lit it happily and took a puff.
"I don't know, I haven't called him yet, but he is studying abroad and probably won't be able to come back." Xu's father lit up his cigarette and exhaled the smoke as he said wistfully.
A pair of children are now studying abroad, far away from their hometown, and rarely come back a few times a year. Although this is a good thing, and the children have grown up, after all, there are only two people in the family, and it would be a lie to say that they are not deserted or missed.
"It's the first time in the village that I have been admitted to study abroad. It's a pity that Kawako didn't choose Mizuki and Peking University."
Another middle-aged man next to him interjected, with a somewhat regretful tone.
But in rural areas, this is quite normal.
After all, these two universities in northern Qing Dynasty are so famous. If any descendants were admitted to these two universities, their ancestral graves would have to be renovated and their family trees would have to be rewritten.
"Qiu Liang, what you said is wrong. Nanjing University is not bad, and Chuanzi was accepted as a national academician when he went to university. Academician, academician, do you know that the country's top scientists are the kind who receive national subsidies.
"
"He knows a lot about it. He hasn't even finished elementary school. He doesn't know a few Chinese characters. He doesn't even know where the university gate opens."
Another villager smiled and retorted, "That's all they talk about in the countryside."
A few people were chatting and gossiping, and suddenly, shouts came from the cement road not far away.
"Jianguo, Jianguo...good news!"
Hearing the shout, Xu Jianguo stood up quickly, and the person who walked quickly towards him was Xu Hongtu, the head of Xujia Village.
"Hongtu, what's wrong?" Xu's father asked, handing him a cigarette.
"Tomorrow, tomorrow there will be leaders from the city coming to your home. I heard there will be interviews!" Xu Hongtu said with a smile as he took the cigarette.
Xu's father was stunned for a moment and asked: "Why do such good city leaders want to come over?"
"You didn't watch the news. You didn't know it! Your son won a prize. It seems to be some kind of Nobel Prize. Anyway, it's a big prize. It's famous all over the world. It was reported on TV!"
Xu Hongtu lit the cigarette in his mouth, took a comfortable puff and said.
"Did it be reported on TV? When was it reported? Which channel?" Xu's father asked quickly after hearing the news about Xu Chuan.
"One set, what else is there? I only read one set. I was eating at noon when I saw this news."
"At first I thought it was someone with the same name, but it turned out there were photos. I looked at it and thought, isn't this your boy? Then before the meal was finished, the county called."
"It is said that your son won an award yesterday, and then some leaders from the city came to express condolences. Why don't I come over quickly to inform you!"
Hearing this, Xu's father walked into the room and wanted to turn on the TV to watch, but then he stopped. It was already too late to watch it now. It had been reported and it would definitely not be replayed.
After thinking about it, Xu's father took out his cell phone and called Xu Chuan.
The phone rang a few times before it was answered, and a familiar voice sounded on the other end.
"Hey, Dad."
"Er, I heard from your uncle Hongtu, what Nobel Prize did you win?" Xu's father asked on the phone.
On the other side, Xu Chuan was stunned for a moment when he heard the Nobel Prize, then he reacted and said with a smile: "Dad, how did you know?"
"You kid, you were on the TV news, why didn't you say a word to us?"
Xu's father complained that they didn't even make a call for such a big thing. They had all missed the news reports. It would be nice to watch it on TV.
"Haha, it's actually nothing." Xu Chuan laughed and explained the matter roughly.
On the other end of the phone, Xu's father listened to Xu Chuan's voice and nodded in response.
In fact, he no longer understood what his son was saying, but as long as the voice came from the other end of the phone, it made him feel at ease.
After chatting with his father for a while, Xu Chuan hung up the phone, shook his head with a smile, and turned to study.
It is indeed very satisfying to unexpectedly receive the Crafford Prize in Mathematics and the Astronomy Prize at the same time.
This not only made up for the regrets of his previous life, but also showed that his mathematical ability has been improved to a higher level.
However, joy is hidden in the heart, like a pot of good wine, which makes people reminisce and spurs people forward.

In the blink of an eye, the time has come to mid-December.
The invitation letter for the Crafford Prize Award Ceremony of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences had already been mailed. After asking for a leave of absence from his tutor again, Xu Chuan took a plane to Europe.
The huge Airbus A380 flew across the blue sky, flying towards Sweden. After several hours of flight, the white plane slowly landed in Stockholm.
Dragging his luggage and walking through the crowd, Xu Chuan walked out of the airport, hailed a taxi and headed to the Stockholm Grand Hotel.
The Stockholm Grand Hotel is a hotel dedicated to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences for its award ceremony. The hotel is located in an excellent location on the Stockholm seafront, overlooking the Swedish Royal Palace and the Old Town.
Although it is two kilometers away from the city hall where the awards are awarded, it is less than 500 meters away from the Nobel Museum.
Due to its unique location and unique culture, it has been a venue for major events since the 19th century, and all previous Nobel Prize winners have stayed in hotels here before awarding the awards.

Xu Chuan handed the invitation letter in his hand to the hotel front desk. The person in charge was a young and beautiful lady with a Western style.
She took the invitation and took a look at it, then scanned it with an instrument to confirm. After confirming that it was correct, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, but her professionalism made her smile normally.
"Hello, Mr. Xu Chuan, welcome to the Stockholm Grand Hotel to participate in this year's Crafford Award Ceremony. Your room is in 1001. This is the room key. Please keep it."
"If you have any needs, please feel free to ask us and we will do our best to satisfy you."
Xu Chuan smiled and nodded, saying: "Thank you."
After taking the room card, Xu Chuan just turned around and found two people standing not far behind him.
"Welcome, Mr. Xu Chuan!"
Seeing Xu Chuan turn around, a man on the left wearing a gray suit, glasses, and full of aristocratic aura quickly came up to him and gave Xu Chuan a warm hug.
"Secretary-General Staffan, I'm glad to see you."
Xu Chuan naturally knew this old man.
Staffan Nomak is the permanent secretary-general of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. All the phone calls for the Nobel Prize award and the reception at the award ceremony were handled by this old man.
"Congratulations, you are the youngest ever winner of the Crawford Medal. You are even younger than you look in the photo."
Secretary-General Staffan looked at Xu Chuan with a smile and took a look at this young scholar who won the Crafford Prize when he was less than nineteen years old.
Xu Chuan said modestly: "Thank you, it is my honor to receive the Crafford Award."
After chatting with Xu Chuan for a while, Staffan Nomark said with a smile: "The award ceremony will start at 11 o'clock tomorrow morning and will be held at the Stockholm City Hall. A special car will come to pick you up then...
