Xu Rui's performance during this period is worthy of his experience of escaping for thousands of miles. He is smart, cautious, likes to observe small things, and is reliable in doing things. He can be of great help to Yu Hua.
Xu Rui stepped forward, took the 105 yuan with both hands, and carefully placed it in his inner pocket. He did not ask aloud why 50 question books were sent to the gate of the Fourth Middle School every day, nor did he ask the Huangchenggen Bookstore or the like
He only knows a little about his husband's arrangements, he just needs to do it and doesn't need to ask.
A qualified assistant should focus on doing things. This is the truth that Xu Rui summarized and understood after reading and studying.
"That's all for the time being. You usually prefer to live in seclusion. By the way, Xu Rui, did you just turn 15 this year, or did you turn 15 last year? I'm talking about your actual age." After Yu Hua finished explaining, he suddenly remembered Xu Rui's age.
asked.
"Sir, Xu Rui turned 15 last year and will turn 16 in February." Xu Rui collected the remaining payment and answered truthfully.
"Study hard on your own and work hard to grow up. I'm very busy with my studies during this period. I can't take care of you for the time being. You will have a heavy burden in the future." Yu Hua patted Xu Rui's shoulder and encouraged him.
At 16 years old, he is already an adult in this era. Yu Hua is going to slowly hand over many tedious matters such as contacting bookstores to Xu Rui.
If Xu Rui's performance meets Yu Hua's expectations, then Xu Rui will be an important support for him after he studies in the United States.
As the saying goes, this is an era when there are many people who can do things easily. Working alone will not work.
Xu Rui nodded: "Ruizi understands."
"That's it, take care of Yuanyuan, I'll leave first." After the matter was dealt with, Yu Hua did not waste time, touched Tang Yuanyuan's head, and then said goodbye to Xu Rui and Xu Xue.
Carrying a new schoolbag, he left the house and hurried to school.
I gained a lot from going to Tsinghua University.
As he became a disciple of Hua Luogeng, he encountered his first important turning point in life. When he learned calculus and mathematical analysis, which symbolize high-end knowledge in this era, then the great and vast door of science would open to him, revealing that
The most spectacular temple of science.
On this pilgrimage road leading to the Temple of Science, there are historical figures he is familiar with or unfamiliar with, waiting for him to witness them.
Hou Debang, Chen Shengshen, Deng Jiaxian, Qian Xuesen...
Von Karman, Turing, Watt, Szilard, Taylor, Neumann...
Schrödinger, Oppenheimer, Planck, Einstein...
Wait until May, when the fish leaps over the dragon gate.
…
It was noon and the sunlight was gradually fading.
After being inspected by the guard, Yu Hua returned to the quiet and peaceful school. On the way, students were studying silently in twos and threes, holding books in hand.
"I don't know what the situation is like in the class. I want to avoid the limelight for the time being and go to the library to write the article." Yu Hua knew very well what his scores in the first month's quiz meant. Once he returned to class, he would definitely be questioned by Zhou Yuan and others.
, this kind of moment that is supposed to be enjoyed by top students, he is not very cold about it.
Yu Hua could not find happiness in this kind of thing. Instead of feeling the happiness of mortals, it was better to feel the beauty of knowledge and mathematics.
As usual, he walked to the library along the familiar road. However, as he got closer and closer to the library, the students around him seemed to recognize his figure and immediately started talking in low voices.
"Look, look, it's Yu Hua."
"Yu Shen is so amazing. He actually scored 698 on the test. I heard from senior high school seniors that the questions in this year's small exam paper are set by Tsinghua University and are much more difficult than the school's small exam questions."
"Full score in six subjects, 698. God, if I were half as good as Yu Shen, I wouldn't be in this situation."
"I'll go, Yu Hua!"
Among the discussions, words full of exclamation and envy abounded. For high school sophomores and first-year students, a score of 698 is simply an astronomical figure.
If it’s 698 yuan, anyone can afford it.
698 points…
You may not be able to pass the exam until you die.
There were constant discussions in his ears, Yu Hua's face looked natural, and he was still in a happy mood. Although he couldn't get happiness from it, it...satisfied some vanity.
When they arrived at the library, they walked toward the door. Some first-year high school students who had just borrowed books from the library were stunned for a moment when they saw Yu Hua, and immediately stepped aside to leave a passage.
"Thank you." Seeing this, Yu Hua was slightly stunned and a little surprised, and thanked these classmates softly.
A young boy shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, please."
The other boys did the same, standing obediently on both sides of the door.
Is this how top academics are treated?
Feeling the respect in the eyes of these classmates, Yu Hua still didn't adapt well. He shook his head, walked through the door, went up the stairs, and soon reached the reading room on the second floor.
The reading room on the second floor remained quiet and was full of students. Yu Hua glanced at the old seat and found it empty.
"Isn't this also the treatment given to me?" Yu Hua was even more surprised when he saw the empty old seat, and this thought flashed through his mind.
Entering the reading room, the students near the door noticed the movement and immediately raised their heads. After seeing Yu Hua, they were startled for a moment, and their eyes immediately showed a look of respect. Then, a domino effect seemed to occur in the entire reading room, and everyone who was studying
As if sensing something, the classmates raised their heads and looked at Yu Hua who was standing at the door.
"I'm sorry to disturb you. Let's study. Let's study." Feeling the gazes of dozens of classmates, Yu Hua felt a little embarrassed. He was at a loss for these gazes that contained respect and awe, and motioned to the students to study and hurry to the empty space.
Leaving the old position.
Looking at Yu Hua walking towards him, Lin Wan was sitting with a faint smile on her face. After Yu Hua sat down, she joked: "I didn't expect that our school's number one came here. I thought you wouldn't follow."
We are a bunch of poor students who get along with each other."
Poor student?
Boss Lin Wan, are you really polite?
The corner of Yu Hua's mouth twitched slightly, and his heart was full of helplessness. Although he was ranked first in the school this time, Lin Wan was either second or third in the school.
Is this called a poor student?
"I'm not very used to this feeling of being noticed, how about you?" Yu Hua put down his new schoolbag, took out the "Calculus" textbook, glanced at Lin Wan who exuded an intellectual and gentle temperament next to him, and said.
Today's Lin Wan is slightly different from usual, more beautiful.
Hearing these words, Lin Wan glanced at Yu Hua and responded: "The more you experience it, the more you will get used to it. You are a person who is destined to stand high and do great things. These are things that must be experienced."
"Thanks."
Yu Hua was thoughtful after hearing this.
"Also, the road ahead will definitely not be smooth sailing, with ups and downs. You don't need to care about the strange looks of others, or the ridicule and belittlement of those who have high ambitions and low abilities. Keep your feet on the ground and reach the top step by step. In the end, you will find
, you stand at a height where those people cannot see you even if they look up." Lin Wan smiled, sending her encouragement and blessings to Yu Hua beside her: "Come on, Yu Hua, I'm optimistic about you."
With the melodious words echoing in his ears and listening to Chicken Soup for the Soul from 1937, Yu Hua was stunned for a moment and fell into silence.
Lin Wan was indeed different from others. Others would only send envy and praise, making people inadvertently get lost in the halo, but Lin Wan was like a true confidant, giving warnings and encouragement.
"Lin Wan." Yu Hua suddenly spoke, looking at Lin Wan. This time, he did not use another title, but it was quite formal, giving off a serious air.
Seeing Yu Hua's expression, Lin Wan was a little curious: "What?"
"If I say that I start to like you a little bit, will you agree to it?"
