In 1978, I was admitted to Harbin Institute of Technology

Chapter 381 I became a married person without feeling anything at all.

After finishing the meal, seeing off the group of old men, and tidying up the house with Chen Wei and Mo Lingyu, Xie Wei prepared to go back to his office in the Civil Engineering Building to sleep.

Based on what Mo Lingyu said, Xie Wei was even less able to determine whether Mo Lingyu was truly sincere about returning to China.

Mo Lingyu had come into contact with too much advanced technology from the United States, although it was all just the surface and she couldn't get to the core.

This is extremely abnormal given the current situation where international students are unwilling to have access to core advanced technologies.

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to leave, Mo Lingyu grabbed him.

"What?"

Xie Wei was stunned for a moment.

"what are you doing?"

Mo Lingyu glared at Xie Wei with dissatisfaction, cursing the blockhead in her heart. Knowing Xie Wei's personality, she said, "In your previous reply to me, you said I wanted to become a 'yellow-skinned banana' (a person with a yellow skin but a banana appearance). Why don't you talk to me more and see if I've actually become a 'yellow-skinned banana'?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Wei realized that she shouldn't stay there.

"Squad leader, vice squad leader, everything is packed up. I'm going back now."

After saying that, he left in a hurry without waiting for a reply.

"Come in!"

As Mo Lingyu spoke, she dragged Xie Wei into the room.

The force coming from her arm was immense. Even though Xie Wei was trained every day by Chu Yunlong and Wei Yong, and even practiced close combat, Mo Lingyu was so startled by the sudden attack that she almost stumbled and fell.

"Uh……"

Xie Wei's mind went blank.

And so, Mo Lingyu dragged her into a room on the side.

"Bang~"

came the voice.

"Brother Chu, should we go help?"

Wei Yong, who was in the courtyard outside, asked Chu Yunlong.

Chu Yunlong was also struggling with the decision.

"Open your eyes wide and take a good look. Am I a yellow-skinned banana person?"

The sounds continued to come from inside.

"There's no rush yet."

Chu Yunlong thought it was worth waiting a little longer.

At that moment, Xie Wei's mind went blank; he had never imagined such a situation would occur.

Mo Lingyu went to the US and didn't learn anything else, but she did learn a lot from the foreigners.
Mo Lingyu was surprisingly violent, completely different from the person I remembered.

When he was in the experimental class, he kept his distance from Mo Lingyu, afraid that he wouldn't be able to control himself...

And so, everything happened naturally.

"Let's go buy a pack of cigarettes."

Chu Yunlong, who had been listening intently, heard a cry of pain coming from inside and pulled the still bewildered Wei Yong away.

"Huh? I still have cigarettes here..."

"Snapped!"

Why did you kick me?

"Okay, okay, stop pulling my ear, I'll leave, alright..."

"Squeak~"

As Chu Yunlong passed by the courtyard gate, he closed it and locked it as well.

Who the hell wants to be fed mosquitoes and listen to the sounds of two people fighting in this sweltering heat?

"No, I want to be on top!"

"You've defied the heavens! You should be down there..."

"Back then, I couldn't beat you in academics, and I couldn't compete with you for class officer positions, so I swore that one day I would surpass you... Today, you've finally been surpassed by me!"

······
The next day, for the first time in many years, Xie Wei did not wake up on time according to his biological clock.

"I went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register today. I've already submitted the marriage application to the school, and the school's letter of introduction has been prepared..."

"What the hell?"

Xie Wei stared blankly at Mo Lingyu, who looked different from before.

Was this all premeditated?

"Could it be that you really like men, like that bastard Wei Bingkun said? Principal Zhang and the others are worried about this, but they don't want to ask you directly..."

"What? My rumor came from Wei Bingkun? That bastard has been gone for years!"

Xie Wei never expected that Wei Bingkun, that bastard, would go so far.

"Tch, it's just that you're always busy studying and doing research, and you haven't paid attention to these things. The reason why your classmates hated Wei Bingkun so much back then was also related to his constant spreading of rumors because he was jealous of you... Do you remember that one morning when we were running, I told you to wait for us?"

Xie Wei had long forgotten.

"During the years when we took the college entrance exam, most of us were sent-down youth, and the underhanded methods used were unimaginable... I'm afraid there will be many more Wei Bingkuns... Sigh~"

As Mo Lingyu spoke, she prepared to get out of bed.

She had just gotten up when she cried out in pain, then lightly punched Xie Wei in the chest, "It's all your fault..."

Blame me?

From last night until now, Xie Wei feels that he has never had such a blank mind in all his years.

Looking down, I realized that the duvet cover on the bed was a brand new bright red one, while the sheets were white.

At this moment, patches of bright red appeared on the white bed sheet.

Last night, Xie Wei was stunned; he hadn't expected Mo Lingyu to have been in America for so many years...

"Lie down a little longer, I'll go cook breakfast."

Xie Wei sighed, "Let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau this afternoon..."

If he still hasn't figured out what kind of meal those old guys came over for last night, he's wasted two lifetimes.

It's all a setup.

"So, it's true that once men from Sichuan and Chongqing become real men, they automatically develop a talent for cooking?"

Mo Lingyu's eyes lit up as she watched Xie Wei's departing figure.

Even though she was in a lot of pain, she didn't give up or surrender last night.

He felt particularly smug when he saw Xie Wei rubbing his lower back as he walked out.

He ultimately fulfilled the vow he made when he lost the competition for the position of class monitor.

The key is that I can keep him under my thumb for the rest of my life...

Zhang Mingqiu, who had been waiting for news, finally received Chu Yunlong's message.

"Really?"

Even after hearing the report, I still couldn't quite believe it.

“The two of them were together last night… When I went there just now, I saw Director Xie walking with his arm against the wall… so I didn’t disturb them…”

Chu Yunlong began to explain.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Zhang Mingqiu was overjoyed and said "good" several times in a row.

The weight on my heart has finally been lifted.

"Mo Lingyu submitted her marriage application to the school yesterday, and Vice Principal Tan has also prepared the letter of introduction. Go back and tell Xie Wei that the school is giving him a week's leave..."

"Isn't the honeymoon leave only three days?"

Chu Yunlong reminded Vice Principal Zhang that since February 1980, the marriage leave had been reduced from 15 days to 3 days, and this had been in effect for many years.

"Three days of wedding leave, and the school will give Xie Wei a few more days off, is there a problem?"

Zhang Mingqiu glared at Chu Yunlong angrily, "Stay away from Xie Wei these next few days, don't bother him! Otherwise, I won't hesitate to smash your head open with a bottle."

"..."

Chu Yunlong left with a twitching at the corner of his mouth.

Zhang Mingqiu excitedly went to tell Liu Debao about this, telling his old buddy not to worry about whether Xie Wei liked men anymore. Even if Xie Wei did like men, as long as he didn't show it, it wouldn't be a problem. When Chu Yunlong returned, Xie Wei and Mo Lingyu were sitting on the kang table, looking at a set of "Selected Works of Mao Zedong," disassembling the original letter word by word and putting it back together.

Wei Yong sat in the shade outside, flipping through a copy of "The Return of the Condor Heroes," one of the "Condor Trilogy" published by the People's Publishing House of Beiguo Jiangcheng.

"came back?"

When Wei Yong saw Chu Yunlong, his tone was somewhat resentful.

What a great opportunity to eavesdrop last night!

Unfortunately, I didn't hear anything.

By the time he realized what was happening, he was already quite far from the courtyard.

"This is really difficult for you... Such a complex paper, to be written as a letter, and there are some key points..."

When Chu Yunlong came in, Xie Wei had just finished writing a paragraph and stopped to stretch.

"That's right! Caltech has several international students from other schools who went there earlier. They wanted to send their papers back home, but not only did they fail, they were also warned by the school, which affected their studies. They couldn't even access some advanced technologies..."

Mo Lingyu sighed as soon as she got to this point.

"There were even quite a few people from STEM fields who were transferred to humanities majors, ostensibly because their foundation was too weak and they couldn't keep up... The letters we wrote back all had to be checked... When I was writing your third letter, my advisor actually allowed me into the lab. I realized that the more they boasted about the strength of the United States, the more they exposed us to advanced disciplines..."

Mo Lingyu said with a sly smile, "So, I praised them in every letter... If I hadn't known about some of the school's projects, I really wouldn't have come back at this time..."

"..."

Xie Wei didn't know what to say.

Although Mo Lingyu initially acted very freely last night, only the two of them knew the specifics.

"Director Xie, Comrade Mo, this is a letter of introduction from the school. Principal Zhang said you'll be given a week's leave."

"Why do we need so many holidays!"

Mo Lingyu said, "School starts soon!"

Before Xie Wei could speak, Mo Lingyu declared, "Your students have all graduated, but I don't have any students yet!"

This woman!
He's never willing to admit defeat.

It seems I still haven't completely won her over last night. Thinking of this, Xie Wei silently rubbed his sore lower back again.

What the hell...

"Comrade Mo, Director Xie's students haven't graduated yet... they've all been held back a year..."

"what?"

Mo Lingyu was quite surprised. "Didn't he start teaching after I left, and then directly lead the newly established Industrial Engineering program after graduation?"

"There are many courses, and they all cover the school's latest achievements. Professor Liang Hongling teaches advanced mathematics, Professor Du teaches mechanical engineering, and Professor Yu teaches computer science... When Xie Rou comes back in a few days, I plan to have her teach them advanced mathematics..."

"Suck~"

Xie Wei's words made Mo Lingyu gasp, "This is even more insane than the experimental class back then!"

"The experimental class will be cut this year. The quality of admissions has been getting worse and worse in the past two years. The main reason is that the admissions departments of Tsinghua University, Peking University, and the University of Science and Technology of China are following our example and sending admissions teams everywhere to snatch up top students... Even though our school has good conditions, the location makes many students and parents hesitate... Moreover, our most advanced research projects cannot even appear in the admission majors..."

Xie Wei introduced the school's situation to Mo Lingyu.

Mo Lingyu studied information and communication engineering and was also good at computer software. In fact, she was the best candidate for Xie Wei to develop drones.

But at this moment, no one mentioned it.

Even if they sleep together, they won't become a legal couple until they get their marriage certificate in the afternoon.

Now, it's considered thuggish.

Mo Lingyu has just returned to China!

Perhaps Mo Lingyu was aware of this as well, and made no mention of participating in the school's most core research projects.

Everything depends on the organization's arrangements.

"By the way, how are our computers? I'd like to introduce computer education..."

"The school has built a computer lab equipped with 120 microcomputers and connected to a local area network. Our partner organizations, those located nearby, are also connected. Currently, fiber optic communication technology in China is still insufficient; the transmission speed is too slow..."

Xie Wei explained, "In this respect, we are quite far behind the international level. However, in microcomputer technology, the gap may not be so large. The only thing we don't have an advantage in is that the cost is too high."

"If we only compare civilian applications, there's almost no difference!"

Mo Lingyu looked delighted. "It seems I came back at just the right time. I was thinking that the foundation in this area in China was too weak, and that some technologies were too difficult to research. Especially internet technology, I feel that it will bring about tremendous changes to the whole world in the future."

Xie Wei was not surprised at all that Mo Lingyu had such an understanding.

In the 1990s, internet technology developed rapidly throughout Europe and America, and even became the most important direction of technological development.

Xie Wei's world originally had a technology that China couldn't keep up with at first. It wasn't until the era of artificial intelligence that China invested heavily and was able to overtake others.

"These next few days, I'll have to trouble you a bit to help me organize the contents of these letters... Although some of the technology is from several years ago, we've already surpassed it. Our technological foundation is different from theirs, so we should still be able to learn from it. Domestically, we'll have to catch up with international standards sooner or later."

Mo Lingyu said.

Xie Wei nodded.

A global internet is only a matter of time.

Domestic companies will go global, and foreign companies will come in; the whole planet Earth will be like a village.

In the afternoon, Xie Wei was dragged to the Civil Affairs Bureau by Mo Lingyu and they got their marriage certificate directly.

Seeing the bright red stamp from the Civil Affairs Bureau, Xie Wei instantly went from being single to being married.

"After all these years, you've finally fallen into my hands."

Mo Lingyu smiled happily after receiving her marriage certificate.

Xie Wei found it extremely strange: Shouldn't a man say that?

"Let's find some time in a few days to take wedding photos. I'll call my parents then and ask them to take care of their work so we can have a small banquet during the National Day holiday..."

"This is enough. I don't need a wedding! If we have time during the National Day holiday, let's go back to see our parents."

Mo Lingyu raised the marriage certificate in her hand.

"Besides, there's no need for a few tables. Otherwise, what do you think I invited Principal Li and the others for last night? We can skip the formalities!"

Mo Lingyu's words left Xie Wei at a loss for words.

He thought that the other person, having lived in the United States for so many years, would have expectations for the Western system that had quietly begun to emerge in China in recent years.

As a result, they didn't even need to invite guests.

"Won't you regret it later?"

"As long as you still want me, I won't regret it. If you don't want me anymore, I'll go to America... and contribute to America's technological development..."

"..."

Xie Wei didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Do you want to say sweet nothings?

He's as straight as Tianfu Avenue, it's hard to explain.

That afternoon, the two began organizing the thesis that Mo Lingyu had sent back via coded telegram at home, and then that evening they were shameless and unrestrained...

Under such circumstances, Xie Wei developed deep dark circles under his eyes in just three days, while Mo Lingyu became increasingly radiant. She finally fulfilled her vow to completely suppress Xie Wei.

"Xie Wei, you should be more restrained when you're young. There are only oxen that die from overwork, not fields that are ruined by plowing."

Seeing Xie Wei so weak and listless, even needing to support his back while walking, Chu Yunlong, who had been through similar experiences, felt heartbroken.

"..."

Xie Wei's face was full of bitterness. Didn't he know it himself?
The key is that Mo Lingyu won't let herself off the hook like that.

"Hey, how about you go talk to the school and I don't want the remaining four days of vacation?"

"..."

Chu Yunlong shrugged and spread his hands, indicating that he couldn't help. "Let's go pick up your sister."

Yup!

With Xie Rou here, Mo Lingyu should be more restrained. She can't lead a child astray, especially since Xie Rou is her sister-in-law.

Xie Rou will definitely be staying at home.

"What are you doing living at home? Just listening to you two rocking the bed all day?"

What left Xie Wei speechless was that Xie Rou was already 21 years old. After not seeing her for several years, she even started to criticize him?
"That's nonsense!"

Xie Wei quickly said that it would not affect Xie Rou.
