The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 364: The sought-after software graduate
Kyoto’s current “large-scale factory construction” plan gives every household the opportunity to send their children to work.

In this era, as long as a family has one person working in a factory, it won’t be a big problem to support the family with the monthly salary, at most life will be a little tight.

Now, in every household in the compound, there are at least two people working in the factory.

It may not be possible to eat well every meal, but I will never feel hungry again.

Just when Li Jun was about to get up and call Li Lan and Li Yu, who were still running wildly, to go back for dinner.

Suddenly, I saw the two little guys’ eyes lit up and they ran towards the door.

He looked up in the direction.

When Li Jun saw Li Mu, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, appear in front of him, he couldn't help but shout happily: "Xiao Mu, you're back!"

"I'm not busy recently, so I came back to visit." Li Mu smiled.

Then he rubbed the heads of the two little ones who were holding him on the left and right, and said, "I bought you some delicious food. It's in Uncle Guan's hands."

"Brother~ We don't want anything to eat. You haven't been home for a long time and we miss you!" Li Lan and Li Yu raised their heads and said in a baby voice.

Looking at their cute appearance, Li Mu smiled and said, "I miss you too, so I will come back to see you as soon as I have time."

The two little guys suddenly grew a lot taller. Originally they could only reach his thighs, but now they can reach his waist.

Well, it’s time to go to school.

"Okay, let's go find Uncle Guan to get some snacks. I'll go in and see grandma first." Li Mu said with a smile.

But don't wait for him to go in.

Hearing the noise outside, Grandma Li hurried out without even putting down the spatula in her hand.

Looking at her eldest grandson whom she hadn't seen for a long time, she walked forward.

Li Mu originally thought he would be scolded.

But Grandma Li just took his hand and said, "You must be hungry. What do you want to eat? Grandma will make it for you. Juanhong, go buy some vegetables."

"Don't bother me, auntie. I asked Xiaoguan to bring back some cooked food." Li Mu said quickly.

He comes back at mealtime, so of course he has to think about eating.

It would definitely not be possible to ask Grandma Li and Aunt Li to do it. Not only would it be hard work, but even if they worked for an entire afternoon, there would probably only be enough for him alone.

It’s better to buy some cooked food, which is delicious and convenient.

Hearing this, Grandma Li paused and said, "You always eat in the dining hall or eat cooked food when you are outside. How can I let you eat these again after finally coming home?"

"Yes, Xiaomu, it's okay. I'll go there and be back in ten minutes. You may not know, but your uncle bought a bicycle with his saved salary a few days ago." At this time, Wang Juanhong also came out of the kitchen and said.

As he said this, he prepared to take off the scarf in front of him and go buy some vegetables.

Seeing this, Li Mu did not insist.

When his aunt came out pushing a brand new bicycle, he looked around, looked at Li Jun, and said with a smile: "Uncle, you are amazing, you even bought a bicycle!"

"Hey, I didn't want to buy it at first, but I gritted my teeth and bought it because I thought it would make it easier for your aunt to get to and from work, and I could take your grandmother out for a walk on weekdays." Li Jun scratched his head and said.

He and Wang Juanhong had a good salary, and with the money Li Mu sent home every month, it was actually enough for their food and clothing.

There is even a lot of surplus.

But even if he had money, he habitually spent very little and tried to save it as much as possible.

"It's time to buy it. Why not buy one more and add a TV for the house? The price is not expensive now." Li Mu thought for a while and said.

But the words had just fallen.

Grandma Li tapped him on the head with her finger and said, "No matter how rich you are, you can't spend it like this. What if something urgent happens and you need the money?"

When it comes to food and clothing, she is no longer as frugal as before.

But I am still not happy about spending on bicycles and televisions.

After all, it’s not a necessity.

"I..." Li Mu opened his mouth but did not refute immediately.

Instead, he first let Grandma Li and Li Jun into the house, and then said:
"Grandma, uncle, you don't have to be so frugal. My monthly salary is more than 800 yuan."

"And with the subsidies and allowances from above, I can't spend them all I want."

"Just use the money I give you. If it's not enough, tell me and I'll give you more."

After he finished speaking.

I thought Grandma Li would be shocked for a moment, and then happily agree.

Unexpectedly, he was pointed at again, saying:

"You can't spend money recklessly. You are a nationally renowned scientist now. If people know that we live a luxurious life, there will be gossip about us."

As Li Mu's family.

Their words and actions will, to some extent, affect Li Mu's personal image.

Although it was very minor, Grandma Li would not allow her eldest grandson to have any stain on him.

"Then at least buy a TV. The cheapest one now is only over 80 yuan. I remember seeing Uncle Zhong's family bought one when I came back last time." Li Mu thought for a while and said.

He knew there was no way to change Grandma Li's mind, so he settled for the next best option.

Grandma Li hesitated for a moment and said, "You can buy it, but wait a few more months before buying a bicycle."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Li Mu followed suit.

Continuing to persuade doesn't seem to have much effect.

I might as well just buy one and send it to her later, so that Grandma Li won’t just buy the cheapest one when the time comes.

……

Afterwards, the three of them talked about family matters in the room.

Listening to the interesting things happening in Nanluoguxiang, Li Mu's eyes were full of smiles.

"It's nice to come back occasionally like this," he said in his heart.

Being busy with research all the time, either at work or on the way to work, it is inevitable that one will feel a little tired.

"Speaking of which..." Grandma Li suddenly opened her mouth, seeming to want to say something but stopped herself.

Li Mu came back to his senses and asked, "What are you talking about?"

As a suitable audience, you should play the role of "straight man" well.

There's nothing we can do. After all, nothing he did could be used for idle chat.

"Xiao Mu, do you still remember the daughter-in-law of the Jia family in the compound next door?" Seeing Li Mu asking, Grandma Li continued, "I heard that her son had an accident at work and has passed away."

"Jia family, Jia Dongxu, when did it happen?" Li Mu was stunned.

If no one had mentioned these names, he would have almost forgotten them.

Grandma Li sighed and said, "It was just a few days ago. They are preparing for the funeral. It's really pitiful. His daughter-in-law was so young, but she lost her husband. She is now an orphan and a widow."

"It's quite pitiful, but no one can predict such things." Li Mu nodded slightly.

He knew that Jia Dongxu would die.

But it is not clear when he died.

……

The three of them didn't talk much about this heavy topic.

Let’s talk about Li Lan and Li Yu’s schooling problem.

The two little girls are grown up now, and it is impossible to let them run around the house any longer.

And my family can afford it, so when I get old enough, I will definitely send me to school.

However, Grandma Li is still a little hesitant about where to send her child to school.

A few days ago, the director of the street office came and said that he could give them a letter of introduction so that she could go to the nearby No. 6 Primary School. As long as she nodded, she would be able to enroll when the time came.

But the Sixth Primary School is a bit too ordinary.

Grandma Li wants to train Li Lan and Li Yu to become scientists like Li Mu.

Did a lot of homework.

This includes the quality of the school.

After listening to this, Li Mu thought for a while and said, "Leave this matter to me. As Xiaolan and Xiaoyu's elder brother, I must help them wherever they go to study."

He could naturally see that Grandma Li wanted him to help.

It’s just that I’m a little reluctant to speak up because I’m worried about other things.

"Is this okay? Will others say you are being special?" Grandma Li hesitated.

Li Jun at the side also said: "Yes, Xiao Mu, don't do this. It's just school. It doesn't matter where you go."

"Grandma, uncle, you are too worried. It's just going to primary school, and you have to take an exam to get in. I'm just a help." Li Mu said with a smile.

Hearing this, Grandma Li finally felt relieved and said:

"That's fine, that's fine."

"Xiao Mu, don't worry."

"I will definitely help Xiaolan and Xiaoyu pass the exam smoothly."

……

In the afternoon, after dinner.

Li Mu stayed at home for a while and then left under the pitiful gaze of Li Lan and Li Yu who were forced by Grandma Li to read and study in the yard.

I originally wanted to solve the enrollment problem of the two little ones first.

"But who should I ask to do this?" Li Mu suddenly thought.

Matters concerning education must be under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Culture and Education.

But in the Ministry of Culture and Education...it seems that he is only familiar with He Baiyi.

Asking the head of a department to solve the enrollment problem of two elementary school students - it sounds a bit outrageous.

But as he went further down, he seemed to not recognize anyone.

You can’t just run to the primary school gate and scan your face.

Of course, this method may not be useless.

But if it gets out, it would be embarrassing.

Maybe it would be dug out by people in the future and used as video material, and be repeatedly laughed at, so Li Mu finally gave up this plan.

"Why not go ask the dean?" Li Mu thought.

As the president of Beijing Institute of Technology, Qian Shuyan should have some connections in the education field.

Moreover, he didn't intend to force Li Lan and Li Yu in, he just wanted to find an opportunity for them to enroll, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

Thinking of this, he immediately said to Guan Jianmin, who was about to drive the car back to the special building, "Turn around and go to Beijing Institute of Technology."

……

Beijing Institute of Technology, President’s Office.

For two consecutive days, Jiang Nanxiang, Lu Ping and others came to visit.

Although Qian Shuyan agreed to help.

But I wasn't planning on calling too soon.

After all, I had just invited Li Mu to help with the lecture, and now it was a bit inappropriate to give him a bunch of troubles right away.

He said to everyone, "I think we should wait a few more days. The students haven't graduated yet anyway."

"Dean Qian, they haven't graduated yet, but many local schools and research institutes have already started recruiting people. We can't keep dragging it on!" Jiang Nanxiang said.

Lupin next to him also chimed in, "Yes, the students have been waiting all this time just for Counselor Li. If you feel embarrassed, then give me the phone and I'll tell you."

"That's not what I meant." Qian Shuyan felt helpless for a moment.

Just when everyone was talking.

There were sudden knocks on the door of the principal's office.

"Come in." Qian Shuyan said.

Soon, Professor Wang brought people to serve tea to the experts and professors, and said with a smile: "Please be patient, presidents and deans. Dean Qian is doing this for the sake of Consultant Li's research and development work."

"R&D..." Jiang Nanxiang subconsciously wanted to refute.

But he soon thought that their affairs were really insignificant compared to Li Mu's research.

If Li Mu didn't want to, they wouldn't be able to get anyone to help even if they went to He Baiyi.

The other principals and deans obviously understood this and were helpless for a moment.

They could only secretly resent Li Mu for not studying in their school.

Are their Wudaokou Institute of Technology and Peking University bad?

Seeing this, Qian Shuyan hesitated for a moment and said, "Well, I can contact Secretary Xiaoguan to see if he has time recently."

If he went directly to Li Mu, there was no guarantee that the latter would not come over out of courtesy.

But with Guan Jianmin, you don’t have to worry about this.

"That's great!" Jiang Nanxiang, Lu Ping and others' eyes lit up.

It’s a good idea to find Guan Jianmin.

In fact, they have thought about it, but the invitations they sent out basically fell into the sea.

When I was feeling extremely happy.

Suddenly, there were two more knocks on the door: "Dean Qian, are you looking for me?"

When everyone heard the voice and looked, they recognized that the person who suddenly appeared was Li Mu's secretary - Guan Jianmin.

"Secretary Xiaoguan, why are you here?" Qian Shuyan asked puzzledly when he saw him.

Guan Jianmin first looked at the principals and deans in the room, then said:
"Li Mu came to see you for something, but halfway through, I saw students from the Software Engineering Education Pilot Class going to class, so I followed them. Let me come and tell you something."

He just finished speaking.

Jiang Nanxiang, Lu Ping and others stood up from their seats and said, "What? Consultant Li is here!"

……

Game R&D center, inside the computer room.

Led by Li Mu, the students of the software engineering education pilot class entered the computer room where the Type 01 computers were placed.

Ever since the Type 01 computer disguised as Type 02 came into being, this Type 01 has been idle.

It is usually used to fool foreigners like Alexi, and is also used for learning by students in the software engineering education pilot class.

However, even if they have machines, the time they can use them is very short.

Only when you are about to graduate and have completed your heavy workload will you have the opportunity to come here for practical learning.

Li Mu first divided the 50 people into 5 groups, and then said:
"I will write some topics on paper later, and those who are interested can try to do them."

"Of course, this is not a mission."

“I just hope you can get some inspiration from it so that you can slowly realize it in your future research work.”
