Chapter 338 Don’t lie to me

It was time to say goodbye to Tsinghua University. Qiu Huoming walked to the school gate, raised his right hand, and made a right-angled motion, framing the big words on the school gate, while making a soft sound with his mouth: "Click."

Well, he remembered Tsinghua University of this era.

Qiu Huoming was like a child at this moment. The corners of his mouth curled up. After taking the photo, he waved at the gatehouse and ignored the surprised eyes around him. He put down his hand, put it in his trouser pocket, and walked towards the bus stop.

The previous disturbance has been resolved. He has been living in the guesthouse these days. He is freer here and can eat and sleep comfortably. Although Dean Zhou doesn't care about him, he still feels somewhat restrained.

Qiu Huoming returned to the room and took out his notebook and pen.

He began to review what had happened in the past few days and what he should pay attention to when he went to the beautiful country next time.

He went over every detail in his mind carefully.

I followed him and took out the most recent newspaper I got from the front desk of the guesthouse, and started reading through it one by one.

The situation in 1983 was not clear. If something was going to happen, there would always be clues. He discovered several news reports, and it seemed that there would be more trouble in the future.

Going to the beautiful country at this time could actually help him avoid some troubles. He put down the newspaper, took out his textbook, put aside all distractions, and started reviewing.

On the third day, Qiu Huoming had just finished breakfast and before he reached the stairs, he saw Hu Zi walking in hurriedly from the door. At the entrance of the corridor, he met him head-on.

"Brother Huzi!" Qiu Huoming went over to greet him happily.

Hu Zi slapped him on the shoulder and said, "Go back to your room, put on your coat, and come with me to meet someone..."

Qiu Huoming nodded, "You come up and sit for a while..."

Hu Zi followed without saying a word.

The two of them got along very well and their relationship improved rapidly. After not seeing each other for a few days, they did not feel strange at all. Instead, they felt more intimate because they met again.

"Brother Hu, have you had breakfast?"

"I ate two fried dough cakes. The fried dough cakes at your gate taste good and fragrant..." Hu Zi clicked his tongue and said, "I drove here today. I'll show you my driving skills later..."

"Brother Huzi, you can drive!"

"That is, do you want to learn?"

Qiu Huoming nodded immediately, "I want to."

"After I finish my work today, I'll drive to the open space and teach you..."

"Great!" Qiu Huoming was overjoyed. He already knew how to drive, but he never had the chance to practice. He took this opportunity to touch the car, and then go back to the beautiful country and drive a car to satisfy his desire.

He took a windbreaker, and Hu Zi reminded him, "You don't have enough clothes, take a scarf."

Qiu Huoming responded, put on the scarf hanging on the wall, turned around, picked up the backpack in his hand, and then went out.

Hu Zi helped him carry his bag halfway and asked him to put on his windbreaker.

Qiu Huoming pushed open the door of the guesthouse and found a military jeep parked at the gate. It had no windows and was windy on all sides.

Only then did Qiu Huoming understand why he wanted him to wear the scarf.

"Are you surprised?" Hu Zi laughed and took a step forward.

Qiu Huoming followed quickly, opened the passenger door, and sat down.

The car seats were all hard at this time. Qiu Huoming subconsciously reached out to grab the seat belt, but looked around and found nothing.

This car is really simple.

Qiu Huoming leaned back in the chair, the car started, and with a rumbling sound, the car drove forward.

The wind rushed in recklessly, and Huzi laughed: "Is it cool?"

Qiu Huoming wrapped his windbreaker tightly around him and tied his scarf. "Brother Huzi, why are you so frugal? Can't you install some more window glass?"

"During the last martial arts competition, all the glass was broken. I was too lazy to fix it, so it's better this way."

Hu Zi seemed extremely satisfied with the car, and his words were full of pride, "As a man, don't be so delicate..."

Qiu Huoming straightened his back, mainly because the chair back was stiff. He turned his head away and didn't bother to pay attention to what he said.

The car drove north along the long street.

After entering the residential area, Hu Zi drove to the gate of the yard as if he was familiar with the route and stopped.

Qiu Huoming then jumped out of the car. His previously short flat hair had grown a little longer in recent days and was blown up by the wind, making his fair forehead slightly red.

As soon as I arrived at the martial arts arena, I saw Grandpa Xu sitting on the armchair on the corridor with a middle-aged man. It was early in the morning and the two of them were already drinking, with only a plate of peanuts between them.

Hu Zi patted him on the shoulder and said, "Why are you standing there? Come on."

Qiu Huoming followed behind him, and the two of them walked to Grandpa Xu's side.

"Good morning, Grandpa Xu..." Qiu Huoming greeted him as he approached.

Grandpa Xu put down his wine glass and said, "Huo Ming is here, come here, I will introduce him to you."

"You call him Uncle Chi..." Grandpa Xu said, pointing at the middle-aged man with a steady and elegant temperament.

Qiu Huoming called out respectfully, "Hello, Uncle Chi."

"He is the Qiu Huoming I mentioned. He studies radio and is an excellent student. This time he will go to the beautiful country with the investigation team of the Chinese Academy of Sciences..." Grandpa Xu briefly introduced Qiu Huoming.

Uncle Chi raised the corner of his mouth slightly and nodded, "Have you graduated?" He raised his eyes and looked at Qiu Huoming.

This man has a very strong aura, and even next to Grandpa Xu, he is not inferior to him.

Qiu Huoming became curious. He stood up straight and said, "I haven't graduated yet. I'm a freshman this year. I plan to finish my undergraduate studies in two years."

"Oh." Uncle Chi frowned upon hearing this, "Isn't it a bit too ambitious?"

Qiu Huoming smiled and said, "I know my own level very well. I can graduate earlier and learn more."

"You are a freshman, why does the Chinese Academy of Sciences want you to join the inspection team?" Uncle Chi asked.

"I published a paper that solved an academic conjecture that has troubled the world for nearly three hundred years, so I caught the attention of the Chinese Academy of Sciences."

Qiu Huoming said this without any modesty. The more he faced a superior, the more powerful he had to be. The more capable he was, the more recognition he would get from the superior.

Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, Uncle Chi immediately became interested.

Only at this time did he put down the wine glass in his hand.

He explained: "I drank alcohol early in the morning to accompany my old boss. Normally, I don't drink at all."

Grandpa Xu smiled and said, "It's hard for you."

Uncle Chi smiled and said, "I am happy to drink with you."

After saying this, he looked at Qiu Huoming and said, "Tell me, what is your guess? I heard a while ago..."

He paused and thought for a moment, "Fermat's conjecture?"

Qiu Huoming was also a little curious, "Hey, Uncle Chi, you also know this conjecture?"

"Don't think that we old people don't understand these things." Uncle Chi stood up and realized that Qiu Huoming was a head taller than him. "Well, it's true that heroes have always emerged from youth."

He laughed, "It's rare to see someone as tall as you."

Uncle Chi called out to Hu Zi who was guarding outside, "Hu Zi, bring another chair over."

Grandpa Xu laughed, "Xiao Chi, you like to judge people... If Huo Ming wasn't so mature, I'm afraid he would have been too scared to speak."

Uncle Chi looked at Qiu Huoming and showed some surprise, "Now I realize that Huoming is not afraid at all!"

"He even dared to joke in front of me. Tell me, with this kind of courage, is he born to be in the army..."

After Grandpa Xu finished speaking, he picked up a peanut and started chewing it.

The chairs were moved over, and Uncle Chi sat back in his seat, pointing to the empty chair in the middle and said, "Huo Ming, you sit first."

Qiu Huoming responded and sat down.

"What do you think about the development trend of radio? Tell me about it..." Uncle Chi leaned forward slightly, "During the last military exercise, we paid unprecedented attention to radio. In the future, I believe that technology will become more and more important..."

Grandpa Xu laughed and said, "What you said, Huo Ming has already said..."

Uncle Chi's brows relaxed and he smiled, "Not bad, you have good taste."

Qiu Huoming grinned and said, "I am just showing off my skills in front of an expert. You are the actual users. You can tell me in detail and I will improve it later..."

"Wow, you were so modest at the beginning, but now you are so ambitious!" Uncle Chi's smile reached his eyes this time. "We can discuss it together. When you go to the beautiful country this time, let's see how much you can learn..."

Grandpa Xu probably wanted them to chat in peace, so he stood up and said, "Okay, you two can chat, and have lunch together at noon. I'll go take care of some things first..."

Uncle Chi and Qiu Huoming quickly stood up.

After Grandpa Xu walked away, they sat back in their chairs.

"Huo Ming, your ideas on technical improvement are still too vague. You are still a student, so you should accumulate more experience. When you return to China, we can discuss this again. Today..."

He glanced at the wine on the table and smiled, "I forgot to make tea."

"Let's just chat today. Tell me, how did you come up with the idea of ​​solving Fermat's conjecture?"

Qiu Huoming took advantage of his young age to expose his own shortcomings.

He smiled and said, "At first I heard about this from the college students next door. They said there was a large bonus..."

"So I started to pay attention to it very early on. After I entered university, I was able to apply what I learned to other subjects. I studied the textbooks on my own and had some ideas of my own. I tried to solve the problems... It took some time."

“I didn’t expect that I would actually solve it, and then I submitted it…”

Qiu Huoming's eyes were bright, with the vigor and vitality that only young people have. He looked at Uncle Chi and said, "I heard from Uncle Zhou that the bonus is still there. It's a pity that their currency has depreciated a lot..."

"Hahahahahaha." Uncle Chi laughed loudly. A talented young man revealed his little flaw. This person immediately became three-dimensional and more down-to-earth.

Compared to a cold-blooded genius, this kind of down-to-earth genius is what he likes from the bottom of his heart.

"A gentleman loves money, but he gets it in a proper way. You have such a little thought..." Uncle Chi paused, and then said, "Remember this in the future. It's okay to love money, but you have to get it in a proper way."

Qiu Huoming nodded. "My mother always said that you can't touch any money you shouldn't take. She works very hard. I just wanted to make more money from the beginning so that she can live a better life."

Hearing this, Uncle Chi could no longer hide his admiration. "You are filial, that's good. It seems that your family education is very good, and your mother is also very good. She can educate you in this way. It seems that she is also a knowledgeable person."

Hearing Uncle Chi praising Chen Suniang, Qiu Huoming's mouth corners lifted unconsciously, "My mother is old, but she still studies cultural subjects at home. She is amazing... She only attended literacy classes, and now she has no problem reading newspapers and writing materials."

"That's not easy."

Uncle Chi was very friendly and chatting with him was like a spring breeze, of course, provided that he was willing to pay attention to Qiu Huoming.

He changed the subject and began to ask Qiu Huoming what he had learned in school.

Qiu Huoming told him everything, and also told him about how he had modified the walkie-talkie.

Uncle Chi was very interested in this. "What spare parts do you need? I'll go get them. Make two for me..."

Qiu Huoming did not hide anything and took out a notebook and a pen from his backpack. "Uncle Chi, there are a lot of accessories. I'll write them down for you."

He tore off a page of paper and carefully wrote down the necessary materials.

Uncle Chi watched him write and had a better opinion of the young man. If he really loved money, he would definitely ask for this kind of invention, but at the moment, he agreed to his request without saying a word.

This person knows the importance of things.

After Qiu Huoming finished writing, he handed the paper over.

Uncle Chi took a quick glance at it and put it away.

The logistics staff came over, changed everything on the table, and served two cups of tea.

Qiu Huoming had been talking for so long that he was indeed thirsty.

After taking a few sips of tea, I felt a little better. "Good tea," Qiu Huoming praised.

"Oh, you also know how to taste tea?" Uncle Chi asked.

"When a cow chews on a peony, it just drinks the aroma." Qiu Huoming replied with a smile.

The weather was nice in the morning, and there were climbing plants on the corridor, which had grown lush and green.

Seeing that the other party had stopped talking, Qiu Huoming simply leaned back in his chair and concentrated on drinking his tea.

Time was quiet. Uncle Chi drank some wine and tea, feeling a little sleepy. "Okay, go play. Just remember to come back for lunch."

Qiu Huoming stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go find Hu Zi to practice driving and come back at noon."

"Practice driving?" Uncle Chi smiled and said, "If you can drive, I'll get you a driver's license."

"Really?" Qiu Huoming was overjoyed, "Uncle Chi, just wait, I will learn it today and show you..."

Uncle Chi laughed, "Okay, if you meet the requirements, I'll do it for you. You probably don't know that in our army, the fastest way to learn to drive is at least two months!"

"It's true that a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger."

Qiu Huoming had already run to Hu Zi's side. He turned his head and looked at Uncle Chi, "We agreed that you can't lie to me."

"I'm not lying to you. Go ahead." Uncle Chi didn't care. Seeing that the two of them went out together, he walked to look for Grandpa Xu.

Hu Zi restarted the car at the door and said, "Let's go to the lake. There is an open space over there. I will teach you how to start the car and what these parts are used for..."

"Well, okay..." Qiu Huoming responded, urging him to drive faster.

Hu Zi laughed: "Don't worry, I've seen many newcomers like you who think driving is that easy..."

It's weekend, happy~
