can you do it

Jiang Shu also got out of the car.

The main campus of University A is not far from the city center. The gate is grand and magnificent, and the gilt font shrouded in the rising sun shines brightly.There were two teams standing below, and after confirming that the number of people was correct, the students participating in the international forum entered the school in groups of three or four and spread out in all directions.

The exchange students followed the female teacher to the administration building to complete the remaining procedures, and it was almost noon when it ended.Jiang Shu also contacted his mentor in advance to prepare to meet him, but when he was about to invite him, he received a call from his grandfather, telling him to go home for lunch.

Jiang Shuyi lived in Jiangcheng before graduating from junior high school, and was placed by his mother at his grandfather's house for half of the time. After going abroad, he came back rarely, but he would visit him every time. This exchange was also notified in advance.

It took at least half a quarter of an hour to walk from the administrative building to the main entrance. Jiang Shu also walked slowly. When he reached the entrance, the driver had already arrived.

A silver-gray Phaeton was parked by the side of the road. The driver, Lao Li, waved to him enthusiastically and opened the door for him.

After getting in the car, Jiang Shu also closed his eyes and rested his mind. Grandpa's house is in the outskirts, and it takes at least an hour's drive from University A to get there.

Jiang Shuyi responded one by one, asking how Lao Li was doing, and how was he recovering from the surgery?He asked about his grandson.

These things were all mentioned by Jiang Shuyi casually on the way back home when he picked him up last time. Lao Li was a little flattered, "It's all good."

Seeing that Jiang Shu also looked tired, he turned the music in the car to soft music, drove more smoothly, and let him rest.

The destination is a large villa yard, with distant mountains and near water, in a Soviet-style garden style, with two stone lions standing in front of the gate.

Jiang Shu also entered the door, and his grandmother was waiting in the courtyard, asking him if he was hungry, and telling him to wash his hands and eat quickly.Jiang Shu also nodded, looked around, and asked where grandpa was.

Grandma: "One of the fish he raised died, and he was fishing in the pond in the backyard."

Jiang Shu also went to the backyard.A golden carp with its belly turned upside down was floating in the pond. Grandpa was standing on the bank of bluestone slabs, poking the water with a fishing net.

The pond was knee-deep and muddy. Jiang Shu also rolled up his trousers, took the net, and said, "Let me fish."

Grandma took a pair of rubber shoes for him to wear.

"Need not."

"The pond is very dirty, branches, broken porcelain, bugs, maybe even leeches, it's safe to wear rubber shoes."

Jiang Shu also reminded, "Grandma, I'm allergic to rubber."

Grandma was a little embarrassed, "I forgot, I thought you were allergic to soybeans."

"My mother is allergic to soybeans."

Jiang Shu also disposed of the dead fish and went back to the room to wash off the mud on his legs.Hearing the knock on the door, he said casually, "Comein."

"Use Chinese when you come back," my grandfather urged, "Your cousins, uncles and aunts are here, come out for dinner."

The He family has a great career, and its ancestors can be traced back to the famous scholars in the Qing Dynasty.Grandpa has several brothers and sisters. He devoted himself to biology, medicine, engineering, etc. in his early years and excelled in their respective fields.The next few generations basically followed their old path. Although there were ups and downs, they can be called traditional Gaozhi families.

Chatting during meals, most of the content revolves around job titles and children's studies.Jiang Shuyi's memory of them only stays in the names of relatives, such as uncle, aunt, cousin and cousin.

He took a piece of lettuce, chewed it slowly, and listened to them quietly.

"Xiaohan is going to apply for a postgraduate offer from a famous American university, but he is hesitating where to choose. I suggest him to go to California, or go to Massachusetts."

"California is very good. I have an old classmate who teaches there. Massachusetts is also good. I was invited to give a lecture last time. The environment is beautiful and the academic atmosphere is very good."

"Nuo Nuo, I'm busy. The biological research I'm doing is about to produce results."

……

"What about you, Shu Yi?" Aunt Biao looked at Jiang Shuyi, "I heard that you returned to England after a semester of exchange at University A. What are your plans after graduation?"

Jiang Shu also perfunctory, "I have no plans."

"I understand that majoring in literature, most of the decent ones in China enter the system, or go to university to teach after further study. If you settle in the UK, you may have fewer choices." My aunt persuaded, "C University is the best school, so you need to make plans in advance. It’s not okay to be muddled, don’t wait until you graduate to find out that opportunities have slipped away.”

She was full of pride, "You have to learn from my Xiaohan, he also studies literature, he takes one step and counts three steps, C University is just his backup plan..."

Jiang Shu is also disgusted with this kind of self-proclaimed elder, earnestly admonishing at the dinner table, but actually showing off.He lost his appetite for the food in front of him, so he put down his chopsticks to wipe his hands. The paper towels were out of reach at the end of the table, so he took wet wipes from his backpack.

My aunt's sharp eyes saw the sample book inside, and she gushed, "Is this book newly published by Hogan? I heard from Xiaohan that all the teachers in their school's liberal arts school are reading it, and it's listed as a must-read list."

"This translation is very good, and it won an award a while ago. If you are interested, you can communicate with Xiaohan. He has read all of Hogan's books and written several related papers. He is also familiar with the author and translator. He often Exchange emails..."

Jiang Shuyi wiped each of her fingers, thinking it was funny, but at the same time feeling too noisy, interrupted her, "I don't know about Hogan, but I don't remember sending an email."

"What?" Aunt Biao froze.

After digesting the meaning of his words, she flipped through the spine of the book and murmured in disbelief: "What a coincidence, it has the same name as you."

"it's me."

"Are you kidding, how can..." She stopped abruptly, because she found the translation award certificate in the book, and the private photo with Jiang Shuyi at the award ceremony.

She stuttered a bit, and asked Jiang Shuyi: "You...why can you translate for Hogan?"

Jiang Shuyi: "Because I happen to have some time."

Too bad and too pretentious, there was a silence at the table, which was broken by a very light laughter.

Aunt Biao felt ashamed, so she didn't say anything for a while.

She was the worst of her generation. Every time she encountered a family gathering, she couldn't even raise her head, feeling as if she was going to a grave.After finally giving birth to a promising son, who is used to playing the pluck, who knows that he will capsize in the gutter and pretend to be in front of the person involved.

Jiang Shuyi got off the table after eating, and after the banquet, he and his grandfather sent them out together.

When everyone left, the two turned back.

"Your cousin has no bad intentions, so she will speak in a low-key manner from now on." Grandpa asked, "Are you an interpreter?"

"No, it's my hobby."

"Didn't create anything yourself? I remember you loved writing when you were young."

Jiang Shuyi really wanted to know what the expression of the perfect and noble grandfather would be if he saw the novella he had just published.

Jumping into a rage, yelling at him like he was yelling at his mother?Maybe it's even more serious, and he faints from anger.Forget it after thinking about it, he replied: "I'm writing, it's something that grandpa would think can't be put on the table."

Obviously, if the conversation continues, the scene will not be good, so silence spreads.

The two walked one after the other, and when they passed through the arch, the grandfather changed the subject, "You came back this time because of your mother."

"Ah."

His mother died not long ago.Some time ago, when the season changed, he moved the relics to another room and found a diary in the drawer. It was filled with bits and pieces of words. The nostalgia of the campus time, force through the back of the paper.

Comparative Literature of University C is a trump card major, and has a tradition of exchanging with other schools.His postgraduate classmates all chose other countries and regions.For some reason, he had the idea of ​​coming back to have a look.

Grandpa was silent for a long time, looking at grandma who was cutting flowers and branches in the distance, he suddenly sighed.Jiang Shu is not surprised, they have been hot and cold towards him all the time, maybe they occasionally projected their dissatisfaction with their son-in-law onto him.

At a fork in the road, Jiang Shu also planned to go upstairs, but his grandfather stopped him, his expression became gentle, "You may not be used to life when you return to China, I have a good friend who teaches at University A. I will say hello to him later and let him Take care of you."

Jiang Shuyi is most afraid of human relationships, "No need."

But his grandfather didn't give him a chance to refuse, "You should remember your Grandpa Cheng, an academician of the Physics Department of University A, we will have dinner together tomorrow."

University A, Cheng Qingshan was answering the phone, a professor in Lin City recommended his student Xiao Liu to study for a Ph.D.

Cheng Qingshan is the founder of astrophysics in China, and he receives many similar calls and emails every year.After learning about Xiao Liu's research direction and achievements, he took out his special speech skills, "This kid is not bad, but my quota for master's and doctoral degrees is full, and there are many people queuing up."

He also offered a plan, "Professor Liu of Astrophysics has a vacancy, if necessary, I will ask."

"Don't bother Mr. Cheng," the professor smiled brightly, "I know Xiao Liu's academic level, and I have the cheek to recommend it to you."

Cheng Qingshan was busy, chatted for a few words and then hung up.After finishing the work in hand, he scanned the laboratory and asked the tall graduate student beside him, "Where's Jin Yuan?"

Tall Man: "Taking it in the counselor's office because of Samuel."

During the physics forum, there was a gathering of students from various countries, and Jin Yuan and Samuel had a conflict. The person in charge of University A must protect his students outside, and will settle accounts after the fall.

Cheng Qingshan hurried out of the laboratory.

In the counselor's office, several hospital leaders sat in a row with serious faces.

Jin Yuan stood with his legs bent against the wall, and when they said a word, he would answer "yes" or "right".

The attitude is extremely sincere, but it doesn't feel right to touch it carefully.

Punching cotton, the female leader gently advised, "In the face of racial discrimination and humiliating behavior, it is useless to speak quickly. You crush him in the academic field. It is better to strengthen the country than to use fists."

Jin Yuan: "I will do both."

"Are you still talking back?" The leader in charge slapped the table, "It's okay to make troubles at private parties, but the nature of international events has changed. Can't you bear it?"

"I am a party member," Jin Yuan said solemnly, "'In order to protect the interests of the country, stand up in all difficult and dangerous moments, fight bravely, and not be afraid of sacrifice' is my duty."

"As far as your situation is concerned, are you Marx reincarnated or Engels reincarnated?" The leader in charge choked on him, and then made a final decision, "This matter must be explained to Mr. C, and it will also teach you a lesson."

Just as they were about to discuss the results, there was a knock on the office door, and Cheng Qingshan walked in.The leaders stood up one by one, "Old Cheng."

Cheng Qingshan nodded and asked them the specific situation.

After listening, he looked at Jin Yuan and scolded: "Jin Yuan, if you don't cause trouble for a day, you will get itchy? Cross-border fights are really good. How many times have I said, friendly exchanges, friendly exchanges, you directly press people's heads into cakes. "

"Relieve the anger for a while, it will affect the friendship between the two schools. It is a shame to throw it outside. If I can live a hundred years, you will be short-lived by you to 99!"

"Who doesn't know that you are my student, huh? I'll just ask you..."

He scolded his head and covered his face.

The female leader felt a little distressed for Jin Yuan, "Old Cheng, calm down, it's not worth it to be angry."

"It can't be eliminated, I will handle this matter, Jin Yuan, get out of here!"

The female leader continued to persuade: "It's not a big deal, and it's understandable emotionally, young man..."

The door slammed shut.

When Jin Yuan came out, he took a bottle of mineral water from the office and handed it to Cheng Qingshan, "Mr. Cheng's lung capacity is good, he can't breathe for three minutes after cursing."

"I'm old, I used to be able to scold for 10 minutes at a stretch." Cheng Qingshan unscrewed the cap of the bottle to moisten his throat, and glanced at Jin Yuan, "Be low-key, try to hit the sap next time."

Jin Yuan just smiled, "Okay."

Cheng Qingshan complained to the leader in charge, "If you hit him, you will hit him. He wants to explain what he wants to say. I don't know where his butt is crooked."

It's a holiday today, and the laboratory is closed early. His wife needs someone to take care of him when he is hospitalized. After getting Jin Yuan out, he is going to the hospital.

The school assigned a driver to the academician, and Jin Yuan also boarded the car.

In the second semester of Jin Yuan's junior year, Cheng Qingshan pushed him to finish his graduation thesis ahead of time, and sent him the first draft while he was going to the hospital.

Cheng Qingshan read it carefully, and scratched his gray hair, "The details are full of loopholes, the professional knowledge is in a mess, and it doesn't make sense when you put it together. After reading it, you will be short-lived for ten years. You will not only embarrass me, but also embarrass yourself when you post it like this. You are here to study, and you have to be responsible for yourself.”

Like an old fritter, Jin Yuan asked the irascible old man, "Is there no advantage? I think the experimental part of the interaction between ultrashort pulse laser and solid target is done well."

Cheng Qingshan sneered, "This is the only part I can watch."

He is notoriously strict, but very conscientious and responsible.Scolding will be scolding, the experiment will be taught by hand, and the master's and doctoral thesis will be corrected word by word.

As he was approaching retirement, he still insisted on taking undergraduate classes. Jin Yuan would follow him to do experiments because he had argued with him about the opacity of celestial radiation in the undergraduate class.

Then Xiti boss favors achievements.

Jin Yuan yawned and fell asleep in the back seat.

Cheng Qingshan asked him about the competition held by the International Physics Forum. Jin Yuan reached into his bag and found a golden medal. "It's all proof questions, and some of them are quite difficult."

"That's right," Cheng Qingshan threw the medal back, "You are now in your third year of junior high school, and when the graduate school is in progress, I suggest you stay in this school for graduate school, or you can choose to do a combined master's and doctoral degree."

Jin Yuan: "I don't want to read it."

"If you stay in this school, I will take you with me. You are familiar with the seniors and sisters in the laboratory, why don't you read it?" Cheng Qingshan hated iron but steel, analyzed the pros and cons in an all-round way, and tried to change Jin Yuan's thinking.

"I don't want to read it," Jin Yuan joked, "Old Cheng, you are so enthusiastic, I reasonably suspect that astrophysics will not be able to recruit people, or the laboratory has done something outrageous, and you want to take me as a cover."

"I'm thinking about you," Cheng Qingshan poured chicken soup, "One must have a long-term plan, a short-term goal, a long-term goal, and go step by step to live a life worth living."

Jin Yuan said badly, "I don't have a goal, I'm going to eat and die."

Cheng Qingshan was so angry that he ignored him for a while.

The car drove into the hospital, and Cheng Qingshan's wife was in the inpatient department. She was old and had underlying diseases. When something happened to her body, the complications were serious. Fortunately, the serious illness turned into a mild one.

Jin Yuan had seen her many times in the hospital, and entered the ward with ease.

The old lady is very elegant, lying weakly on the hospital bed listening to piano music.Seeing someone coming, she got up slowly and put a pillow behind her waist.

Different from the gag attitude when facing Cheng Qingshan, Jin Yuan showed respect to his elders, called her Teacher Song, and then took out "Allmylife" from his bag and put it on the bedside table.

The old lady's eyes lit up, "How do you know I like this writer?"

Jin Yuan smiled and replied: "The last time I came here, I saw several of his books beside your bed, so I guessed it."

It was turned up and the sides were rolled up, and a lot of comments were written, and the love is obvious.On the way back that day, he asked Mr. Cheng, who squinted his eyes with a smile, and said that his wife was essentially a literary young woman who loved reading and collected signed rare books.I originally planned to participate in the new book event, but unexpectedly fell ill, so I had to put it on hold.

The old lady opened the book and smiled pleasantly, "It is bilingual in Chinese and English, and it has a signature."

"I happened to meet the signing event in London." Jin Yuanyun said lightly.

Cheng Qingshan was clear about the schedule of the International Physics Forum, and he was so busy that he didn't touch the ground, "Where did you find the time to attend the signing event?"

Jin Yuan responded vaguely.

The old lady was in a happy mood, got out of the hospital bed, went to the balcony to bask in the sun, and read leisurely with a book.

Jin Yuan stayed up all night last night, yawning all the time.Cheng Qingshan was peeling oranges, and said to him: "I see that you have no goal to eat and die all day long, so I will find something for you to do."

Jin Yuan: "What?"

"I have a good friend for many years. His grandson grew up in the UK. He came to exchange from C University and asked me to help take care of him. I am busy during this time, and I am running between the hospital and school. I can't take care of it. The school has one-on-one support for exchange students. Project, I don’t worry about others, you can connect with him.”

Broke off half an orange and gave it to Jin Yuan, "Last time you complained about the poor dormitory environment. There are some teachers' apartments left in the school. They are all new houses that have not been lived in after renovation. I am planning to apply for you. One per person, convenient for class, and more comfortable than living in a dormitory.”

Apart from experiments and papers, Cheng Qingshan seldom ordered others to do things in life, helping out was just a trivial matter, Jin Yuan was of course willing, not to mention living in another place.

In the building he lived in, some kind of cub kept hamsters in the dormitory, and within half a year, the rats were infested, which caused him a lot of trouble.

"Okay," Jin Yuan agreed without hesitation while eating the oranges, "Don't worry, Mr. Cheng, I will take care of him as the princess and the pea, and I will not pick the moon for the stars. He wants to eat the black swan from Houhu at three o'clock. Put the stew in front of him at noon and feed him with your own hands."

"Stop, stop," Cheng Qingshan stopped his nonsensical remarks, "Ren Yi, one or two years older than you, is not a little girl. You may have seen the exchange students from C University coming back with you this time."

Jin Yuan subconsciously thought it was a mixed race.The children of Kochi families love to go abroad, and it has long been a common phenomenon that most of the spouses who give birth and settle down in the local area are foreigners.

The oranges were sweet and sour, and full of fragrance. He ate them one by one, recalling the return journey.There were twenty or so exchange students, most of them looked foreign, and I forgot what they were, and I don't know which one is the grandson of Cheng's old friend.

The only thing the exchange students remember is the Chinese who smoked in the bookstore, satirized him for being uneducated, and burned his autograph.

She is very good-looking, with an indescribable energy, and the moment when she looks back with smoke is like a movie scene, very amazing.

People look like people, but they don't do human affairs.Still angry, Jin Yuan bit the orange seeds with a "crack" and thought to himself, it's best not to run into him at school, or he will have to mess with him once.

Jin Yuan ate quickly, and Cheng Qingshan shared half an orange with him, "I'll give you half a day to think about it, don't feel pressured, I will help you apply for a teacher's apartment or not, there is no difference between one set and two sets."

"Don't think about it," Jin Yuan said, "I'll go to the Academic Affairs Office to register later, what's the name of the eldest grandson?"

"Jiang Shuyi, Shuzhan Shu, and so on. Let's have dinner together tomorrow, and you two will get to know each other formally."
