Chapter 61 I also have my ideals

"Your family background is simple, and your ancestors for three generations were all poor farmers. There is no problem with the political review... I was the one who graded your papers, and your method of solving problems is very different from that of others." There was nothing wrong with what Li Yongguang said at the beginning, but the last sentence took a sudden turn.

Qiu Huoming looked at him in surprise, feeling a little uneasy. He only had some talent in mathematics, which was very different from the genius in his mind. Through this conversation, he had roughly guessed what the other party was thinking.

Professor Li should have a certain status in the education field. As a person of status, he would specially mark my paper and come all the way to present the award. There is only one reason for this: he probably took a liking to me.

"Professor Li, I would like to ask, what do you do?"

Qiu Huoming asked the question carefully.

"You are so cautious, little guy. Let me introduce myself... I work at the provincial computer center. My name is Li Yongguang. Currently, the most advanced computer in the country, the 320, is located in our center."

"Oh, by the way, have you heard of computers?"

Qiu Huoming's pupils shrank slightly. Not only had he heard of it, he had even broken the latest model of computer released in later generations. He also knew about 320. It was mentioned in the computer class in college.

In fact, there were already computer courses in the 80s. Unlike the USB flash drive used to import data in later generations, the 320 still used paper tape disks, which were input into the computer by an optical input machine...

"I've seen it in the newspaper, but never in person." This was the truth. He had only read some simple introductory information about 320.

Li Yongguang did not doubt this. He smiled and asked gently, "What are your ideal universities for the college entrance examination?"

"Yangcheng University of Science and Technology, Yangcheng University of Technology, Yangcheng University of Science and Technology..." Qiu Huoming reported the names of five universities in one breath.

Li Yongguang frowned, "Why are they all in the south? Don't you plan to take the exam in your own province?"

"No plan." Qiu Huoming said without hesitation.

"Think about it again. You can apply for the Department of Mathematics at USTC. I can't guarantee anything else, but as long as your test scores meet the requirements, you will be trained as a key student at the school. The school has scholarships, which can be awarded at the highest level."

Li Yongguang has said it quite well.

Qiu Huoming looked embarrassed. He looked up at Li Yongguang and shook his head, "I want to go to Yangcheng."

Li Yongguang sighed and waved his hand, "Forget it, go back to class."

Qiu Huoming stood up and bowed to him, "Sorry, I also have my ideals."

"Hey, come back." Li Yongguang's slightly frowned brows suddenly relaxed. "Come on, tell me about your ideal?"

Qiu Huoming paused, the villain died because he talked too much, so he didn't need to say the last sentence.

"I'm not very interested in scientific research, so... I think universities in the south are more suitable for me."

He played it safe and said something half-truthful.

"Forget it, go back." Li Yongguang really had no interest in asking any further this time.

Qiu Huoming quickly opened the door and walked out, but was stopped by Teacher Cheng halfway. "Huoming, is he trying to recruit you? Don't hesitate, agree to it."

"It's too late. I've already refused." Qiu Huoming said with a bitter face.

"You kid... forget it, just go back to class." Teacher Cheng sighed, his tone somewhat filled with disappointment.

When Qiu Huoming returned to the classroom, the chemistry teacher was already teaching the class. The teacher was aware that he had been taken away, so he let him in directly.

He quickly slid back to his place.

Ding Yu quickly snatched the pen from his jacket pocket.

After opening the package, a slender beige Yongsheng fountain pen was quietly lying inside, with a line of words engraved on the pen cap: "Qiu Huoming, the first place in the Mathematical Olympiad."

Qiu Huoming glanced at the words on it and it seemed that it could not be resold. He turned the somewhat worn Hero fountain pen in his hand. He had no plans to change the pen for the time being, so he just kept it for now.

"Huozi, the one that classmate Gu has is black. Did you take the wrong one? You sissy..."

"There are words, how could it be wrong?" Qiu Huoming was speechless.

"Why don't you change the pen caps, you use the black one and Gu uses the beige one." Ding Yu suggested.

Chemistry classes have always been the worst in order. The teacher reads from the textbook while the students are daydreaming or making small movements. As long as they don't go too far, he usually pretends not to see anything.

Gu Xiaoran turned her head and looked over. Qiu Huoming handed her the pen and asked, "What does yours look like?"

Gu Xiaoran took the pen and compared it with her own. As Ding Yu said, the beige one was more delicate. She replaced the two pen caps and found they fit together tightly with no signs of replacement.

"Change?" she asked quietly in the front row, holding up two pens at the same time.

"Change it." Qiu Huoming didn't care. A fountain pen is only used for writing, so any color is fine.

Gu Xiaoran replaced the pens and gave the black one to Qiu Huoming.

She touched the silky lines of the pen and suddenly realized that she had exchanged objects with a boy.

While I was thinking about it, another tape was handed to me from the back row.

Qiu Huoming lowered his voice and said, "I left you a copy of the song I recorded last time."

Gu Xiaoran took it. It was the first time she had seen the tape packaged, and the workmanship was much better than she had imagined.

Ding Yu snorted coldly, "You forgot about me."

Qiu Huoming turned a deaf ear to him, opened the chemistry textbook and started reading.

Gu Xiaoran covered her mouth to hide her smile. After a while, she put the tape and pen into her schoolbag.

Qiu Huoming continued to flip through the chemistry textbook.

He has a clear positioning of himself. No matter what, the first step is to get into university. Honor cannot be eaten. Others look up to you because they think you have a promising future. Without this premise, he is nothing more than an inconspicuous county boy.

He who knows the current affairs is a hero...

After school at noon, he spent half an hour teaching Ding Yu how to ride a bike. After two days of training, Ding Yu can already ride around the playground without his help. Currently, he can only sit on the bike and then pedal to get in and out. He is not yet good at the technique of gliding on one foot and then stepping on it.

"You can ride on the road like this. Be brave and it will be fine." Qiu Huoming suggested.

"Okay, I'll try riding it myself on my way to school this afternoon." Ding Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead and handed the bike to Qiu Huoming.

"Huozi, come home with me later. My dad said this morning that he will bring you a bicycle ticket when he gets home at noon."

"Okay, uncle is handsome." Qiu Huoming held the handlebars of the bicycle and slid onto the bike with one foot in a chic manner, "Get on..."

"Slow down." Ding Yu trotted to catch up with him and sat on the car. The car shook twice and drove towards the school gate.

Dingjia Lane, Ding Yu's house was particularly lively today. Ding Yu muttered quietly: "My brother brought his girlfriend back for dinner. Look at his face. He's smiling so hard that his eyes can't be seen..."

In addition to the Ding family, there was another girl in the living room. She sat shyly next to Ding Hao. Qiu Huoming did not enter the living room. After all, he was a stranger to her. He was afraid of embarrassing her, so he took the ticket and went back first.

A mouse is nothing but overnight food, so Qiu Huoming ran straight to the Supply and Marketing Building with the bicycle money in his pocket.

Thank you for your encouragement :)

Let’s go~
