Chapter 756 Chapter 755 The world has changed

Xiao Wang was very surprised by her husband's arrival, and sweetness overflowed from her dimples: "Why are you here?"

"I've been missing you, haven't I? I'm coming to have lunch with you." Jiang Ye was on maternity leave and had not come to work yet. Xiao Wang was the only one in the office, so Tang Zhitong immediately launched a sweet talk offensive.

"Hate it. What's the point of missing someone if we see each other every day?" Student Wang said no but her sweet smile betrayed her.

"Hey, actually I'm here to give you some brown sugar." Tang Zhitong took out a bag of brown sugar wrapped in mulberry paper from his bag as if performing magic.

These brown sugars were stockpiled with the 2,000 yuan he got from mortgaging his house when he was working at a construction site the year before last. Although urban residents still have a quota of brown sugar and white sugar, it is hard to say whether they can buy them. Eight out of ten times when he goes to a grocery store, they are out of stock.

Student Xiao Wang had her period yesterday and needed to drink some brown sugar water, but there was none at home.

"Are you asking your friend to buy it again? Don't bother him with such a small matter." Xiao Wang was very surprised. He took the brown sugar and was about to open the package and make a cup of it.

"Yeah, come on, you sit down and I'll go." Tang Zhitong nodded. He didn't dare to mention his friend at all. This lie was not easy to cover up.

"You haven't eaten yet? Let's eat together." Xiao Wang also sat down and began to clear the table to make room for her husband. She also considerately pulled Jiang Ye's chair over.

"Okay, let's eat it together. Here, try it first. If it's not sweet enough, I'll add some more." Tang Zhitong handed the stirred brown sugar water to Xiao Wang.

Tang Zhitong learned this from a Neptune in college. That Neptune would only date a girlfriend for a month at most. He would break up with her when she was no longer fresh. He was ruthless and would not give up on her.

Even so, many girls still flock to it.

According to Aquaman, being considerate to girls needs to be put into practice, not just with words.

Just like during menstruation, boys cannot understand that kind of pain and often think it is no big deal. After saying "drink more hot water", they turn around and sit in front of the computer to play games. It is not unfair that such men don't have girlfriends.

Putting aside his character and talking about his behavior, Hai Wang still has some merits. At least after Tang Zhitong did what he was told, Xiao Wang was very happy: "Well, it's quite sweet. You should try it too."

"Forget it. I don't like sweet food." Tang Zhitong took the water cup and put it on the table, took off his shoulder bag, took out the lunch box from it, and prepared to eat.

The two people brought the same dishes and the same number of steamed buns, so there was no such thing as Zhang Guifang being partial.

"Is it enough? I'll give you another piece." Xiao Wang said, breaking the steamed bread in her hand into two and handing it to her husband.

"No, that's enough, just eat it." Tang Zhitong pushed it back. They both ate outside at noon, and the meal couldn't be hidden from others, so Zhang Guifang didn't prepare much staple food.

Years ago, the family implemented a rationed diet for a while, which taught Fengzhi a good lesson on saving and cherishing food.

The situation has improved recently. Every morning and evening, everyone can eat a little more than the allowed amount. In addition, with a few pine nuts and animal oil every day, as long as we don't think about eating specifically, we generally won't feel hungry.

Tang Zhitong believes that his family will see a legitimate improvement in the future because the vegetables in the yard will soon catch up.

Although green vegetables do not provide much energy, they can fill you up.

After dinner, he dawdled for a while. When it was time to go to work, Tang Zhitong finally said that he wanted to go to the Academy of Sciences.

"Huh, I knew something must be wrong with you." Student Wang was a little arrogant. She said that she disliked her husband for not coming to see her specially, but she actually helped her husband straighten his collar.

After adjusting his collar, Xiao Wang took two steps back. Feeling satisfied, he nodded and said, "Go quickly. Don't keep me waiting."

We will definitely not have to wait long at the Academy of Sciences because Qiu Han is working here.

After Tang Zhitong took the initiative to show his science and technology association certificate, Qiu Han smiled and said, "Hey, Comrade Tang, Director Ding said you are a rare talent. You are welcome to use our metallurgical laboratory."

"Thank you for the compliment, Director Ding. Thank you, Dean Qiu, for the trouble." Tang Zhitong was very humble and didn't show off. Firstly, the other party was of a higher rank, and secondly, if this place failed, there would be nowhere else to get the magnet.

"It's not a big deal. After all, we are all trying to contribute to society. I heard from Director Ding that you want to specify the shape of the ferrite?" Qiu Han pointed to the sofa next to him and guided him, "Come on, Comrade Xiao Tang, sit over here."

"I have a project on hand that requires a fan. The current magnets are too large to meet the requirement, so I came to the Academy for help. As for the shape, I can refer to the existing ones in our academy and go back to find someone to make a new mold." Facing the big name in the scientific community, Tang Zhitong did not hide anything. The other person's knowledge was there. Lying would be like waving a sword in front of Guan Gong. It would be embarrassing if he was stumped.

"Oh? How small?" Qiu Han became interested and asked.

"It's best to be this size." Tang Zhitong stretched out his hand and measured a length that could excite the South Koreans. It was a full five centimeters!

"It's so small, I'm afraid magnetism will be a problem. How do you plan to solve it?" Qiu Han felt it would be difficult to achieve after seeing the size.

"Dean Qiu, don't be afraid of laughing at me, I'm not good at this. I am responsible for the coordination in this project, and the rest will be handled by other students." Tang Zhitong had never thought about this, and it was unprofessional. When asked by Qiu Han, he almost sweated, but he didn't dare to fool around.

"Oh? So you are all still students?" Qiu Han was a little surprised. When Ding Hui was communicating with him, he only highlighted Tang Zhitong's previous inventions and did not mention that he had a project team behind him.

"Yes. I'm studying at the Post and Telecommunications University on a commissioned basis, and the university has set up... I'm sorry, President Qiu, I can't tell you this part. Several of my classmates have been thinking about making an incubator in their spare time, the kind that specifically serves premature babies. This fan is used in the incubator." Tang Zhitong was halfway through his words when he suddenly remembered the nature of Class 603 and slammed on the brakes.

"Oh, very good, you are all responsible pillars of the country!" Qiu Han has seen a lot sitting in this position. Many projects cannot be announced to the public. But today he saw the youngest group who have already been involved in it before leaving university.

"Hehe, I just want to save more flowers of the motherland, so that they will have the opportunity to contribute to the construction of the motherland in the future." Tang Zhitong scratched his head. Being young is sometimes an advantage. At least many scholars like students who are motivated and have ideas.

"Well, good, good. I suggest that you don't be so restrictive about the ferrite you need. Try to make a little of each size. In case the small one doesn't work, you can gradually move towards a larger size. Make more at a time. After all, it costs money to open a furnace at the Metallurgical Institute." Qiu Han is obviously a scholar-type leader who likes good students. Not only did he not ask any more questions, but he also made thoughtful suggestions.

"Thank you, President Qiu. We will humbly accept your suggestion and ask someone to make a few more sets of molds when we go back." Tang Zhitong was humble and felt that Qiu Han's suggestion was very pertinent, highly feasible, and could also be used to deceive others.

"Well, I am now..." Before Qiu Han could finish his words, the phone rang shrilly.

"You answer the phone first." Seeing that Qiu Han not only did not finish his words but also stood up, Tang Zhitong also stood up. "Okay." Qiu Han nodded and walked to the desk.

Tang Zhitong stood up and didn't sit down again. Although Qiu Han didn't ask him to avoid suspicion, he was very conscious and did not forget to close the door when he went out.

After going out, Tang Zhitong didn't walk too far, but he wasn't close to the door either, about five or six meters away. Not only could he not hear what Qiu Han said inside, but Qiu Han could also see him when he opened the door, and he could also help him hold the door.

Tang Zhitong stood by the window and recalled a scene from the movie "Cell Phone".

While Fei Mo was in a meeting, the buddy sitting next to Yan Shouyi answered a phone call. He responded to the other end with a single word: yes, ah, OK, oh, um, uh, or tsk.

Yan Shouyi imagined a conversation that made people think:

Are you in a meeting? -Yes.

Is it inconvenient to talk? -Ah.

Then I'll tell you. -Okay.

I missed you. -Oh.

Do you miss me? -Yeah.

You were so mean yesterday. -Hi.

Give me a kiss. -Tsk.

Tang Zhitong had never experienced this kind of situation personally, but he learned from it to avoid suspicion. No matter what time it was, no matter who was on the phone, whether it was business or personal, he would try to avoid it.

Maybe three minutes later, maybe five minutes later, Qiu Han opened the door and leaned out of the office to look for Tang Zhitong.

When he saw Tang Zhitong about five or six meters away from the office, Qiu Han smiled and waved at Tang Zhitong: "Xiao Tang, come in, come in."

"Young comrade, why don't you just sit here? Why are you going out?" After entering the room, Qiu Han scolded with a smile.

"Hey, I've been on the front line for too long and can't sit still. It's a rare opportunity for me to come here, so I'd like to go out and see the scenery." Tang Zhitong made up a lame excuse.

"Hahaha, that's a good way of putting it." Qiu Han laughed and didn't delve into it. He continued what he hadn't finished saying just now: "I'll write you a note now. Take it to the Metallurgical Institute to find Zeng Xinghuai. He is the director there. He will fully cooperate with your work."

"Thank you, President Qiu, and thank you, Director Zeng." Tang Zhitong breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Qiu Han did not continue to ask about the details of ferrite.

"Be sure to tell me when you succeed, so that I can witness your achievements." Qiu Han quickly wrote two lines on the letter paper, tore it off and handed it to Tang Zhitong.

"I will definitely tell you." Tang Zhitong took the letter with both hands, glanced at it and folded it up: "President Qiu, I will ask Director Zeng to pay for the experiment together when the time comes?"

Although he didn't mention this to Ding Hui, as someone introduced by Ding Hui, Tang Zhitong had to confirm it with Qiu Han. This would both make himself appear sensible and give Ding Hui face.

"Didn't Director Ding tell you? All the expenses of this experiment will be borne by the Science and Technology Commission." Qiu Han said with a smile.

"Oh, this matter has caused so much trouble. I'm already very grateful that Director Ding can help coordinate. Okay, I'll go back to the Science and Technology Commission." Tang Zhitong reacted quickly. Research expenses are different from treating someone to a meal. Whoever grabs it can pay, and you can even run away with the bill.

Tang Zhitong felt that there might be hidden secrets here that he didn't know about, so he didn't force the Metallurgical Institute to settle the fees with him, nor did he say that he would settle the fees with the Science and Technology Commission. He only gave an ambiguous reply, thus leaving room for Ding Hui.

"Haha, then I won't keep you here. You can go to the Metallurgical Institute anytime." Qiu Hanyi smiled. The reason why he was so happy was mostly because of the Science and Technology Commission. Ding Hui really gave him too much...

Although Qiu Han said that the Metallurgical Institute would fully cooperate, Tang Zhitong felt that he had to keep a low profile when he went there. He should first listen to what the rules were and try his best to follow the regulations of the Metallurgical Institute without any special treatment. It would be a bit of a waste to open a separate furnace for just burning a few pieces of ferrite.

Tang Zhitong was thinking as he walked towards the office building of the Academy of Sciences. Before he even stepped out of the door, a gust of cool breeze blew in his face, which lifted his spirits.

Due to the building materials and design, the Academy of Sciences office building is a building that is warm in winter and cool in summer. When Tang Zhitong went in, he felt it was obviously cooler than outside, but when he came out, the weather outside had changed.

The wind outside was getting stronger, and the willow branches were swaying gracefully in the wind.

Bai Juyi not only wrote "The Charcoal Seller", but also wrote about the Ji girl in his family: "Fan Su's mouth is like a cherry, and her waist is like a willow. Her eyebrows are painted with dark blue, and her skin is as white as snow. When she looks back and smiles, she is so charming that she can captivate the whole country and the whole city."

A less serious translation would be: Fan Su's mouth is as small, bright and attractive as a cherry, and Xiao Man's waist is as thin and soft as a willow branch...

Tang Zhitong squinted his eyes and looked at the swaying willow branches. He gained a new understanding of the slender waists of willows. It was so vivid, comparable to the dance troupe with belts and the female anchor with tiger teeth.

Seeing that the situation had changed, Tang Zhitong changed his mind and gave up the idea of ​​going to the Metallurgical Institute today. He turned around and went to the Beijing Library.

"Why are you back again?" Student Xiao Wang was sorting out the library's collection of materials and was a little surprised to see her husband come in.

"Don't rush into your work. The weather outside has changed. I think it's going to rain soon. You didn't bring a raincoat, and I was afraid you'd get wet, so I came to tell you to go home first." Along with the wind came not only willow branches, but also yellow sand and dark clouds, which were rushing towards the ancient Sijiu City from the north at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"This..." Student Xiao Wang looked at the unfinished work at hand and hesitated.

"Don't worry about this or that. You're not feeling well. What if you catch a cold if you get caught in the rain? Let's go quickly and come back tomorrow to make up for it." Tang Zhitong simply picked up Xiao Wang's bag and pulled her out without any explanation.

"Okay, okay, can't I just leave? Let go." Xiao Wang felt her husband's anxiety, quickly packed up, locked the door, and followed her husband out.

In the midst of the wind and sand, Tang Zhitong and Xiao Wang squinted their eyes and pedaled their bicycles forward. After leaving the Beijing Library, they first headed east, intending to pass through Wangfujing Street. Fortunately, the wind was from the northwest, so there was not much wind and sand on the road.
