In 1978, I was admitted to Harbin Institute of Technology

Chapter 384 Thank you, Master's wife, for saving us from the clutches of the female demon. Xie Wei brewed goji berries in his thermos.

"What? You can't even do mental calculus? You can't do it mentally either? You can't do it by hand either? This is such a simple idea, you can see it at a glance and get the result in a second..."

"If you can't even visualize a model when you see a problem, what's the point of studying mathematics?"

"No wonder my brother made you extend your graduation by a year! I feel sorry for him... My brother never let me talk to mentally challenged people since I was little, afraid that they would make me mentally challenged... But he actually made me teach math to a bunch of mentally challenged people..."

On the podium, Xie Rou would constantly criticize the students in the classroom whenever she explained a "simple" math problem that she could see the answer to at a glance.

Yes, in her eyes, these students are—

A bunch of fools!
They can't even do basic mental calculus, nor can they build mathematical models in their minds.

Then why bother learning math?
"..."

The eyes of everyone in the classroom became unfocused.

Is math really that simple?
The tall, thin, and beautiful young teacher on the podium, with her mouth at 37°C, uttered such chilling words!
Take a look!

Look at the densely packed solution process on the blackboard, without even numbers. Is it really that simple?
Is it complicated?

Why did this beautiful female teacher, who was even younger than them, write out the complete solution process in a flowing, elegant style without even thinking after seeing the question?
Even in the problem-solving process, many "simple" steps are skipped without explanation, because they simply cannot understand them.

despair!

It came into everyone's view.

"Uh, Dr. Xie, this is the Industrial Engineering class, not the Mathematics Research Institute. Although we've been studying mathematics all along, calculus, linear algebra, group theory, analytic geometry, series, differential equations, etc., are just the basics..."

Xie Wei immediately regretted letting Xie Rou teach the class.

Xie Rou regarded these students as the math fanatics she had encountered at the Institute of Computer Science!
Hearing Xie Wei's words, the students looked at him with gratitude: It's not easy, Xie the devil finally spoke a fair word!

No, Teacher Xie is a good person.

The beautiful female teacher in front of me is the real devil!
She-devil!
They believed they were smart and capable enough to get into Harbin Institute of Technology, but the young female professor in front of them made them doubt whether they were really cut out for studying.

"Brother, it's really tough on you... You used to say I was stupid when you taught me. These students who can't model or do mental calculus, it's a wonder you've taught them for so many years without giving up."

"..."

To everyone's surprise, Xie Rou didn't let them off the hook at all.

Suddenly they realized that what their homeroom teacher had said about these students being the worst he had ever taught might actually be true.

"Alright, class is over, you should go home now."

Xie Wei quickly pulled Xie Rou outside.

If this continues, he'll drive all of his few remaining students to despair.

"That's exactly right..."

"..."

Xie Wei suddenly realized that protecting Xie Rou too much from the beginning was not a good thing: before the resumption of the college entrance examination, students were recommended to go to university, and after graduating from junior high school, they were sent to the countryside to receive re-education from poor and lower-middle peasants; the school did not pay much attention to their studies, and Xie Rou almost entirely studied at home according to the plan Xie Wei had given her; after the resumption of the college entrance examination, Xie Rou quickly skipped a grade from junior high school directly to high school, studied for a year, and then took the college entrance examination exceptionally, becoming one of the last students in the three years after the resumption of the college entrance examination...

Upon arriving at school, Xie Wei was placed in the experimental class. However, because Xie Wei's class had undergone a year of intensive study, Xie Rou still considered them fools. In the end, she had no choice but to let Xie Wei stay in the project.

I entered the Institute of Mathematics without graduating with my bachelor's degree.

The Institute of Mathematical Sciences is full of the nation's top geniuses or "madmen," yet Xie Rou still stands out. She remained determined to study aerospace technology, and after graduating with her master's degree, she studied under Qian Xuesen...

Even the worst of Qian Xuesen's students eventually become academicians.

Xie Rou has always been surrounded by top geniuses, which has led to survivorship bias in her, making her believe that everyone should be like that and that those who cannot are fools.

Just like Qian Xuesen said, "Even if a person is stupid, can they not learn calculus?"

A top-tier scholar like Qian Xuesen would be completely incomprehensible to someone of lower ability who became his student...

"Classmates, this was my mistake. I shouldn't have let Xie Rou teach you math... She's different from you all; she started learning advanced mathematics in elementary school... and studied under Professor Hua and Professor Su at the Institute of Mathematical Sciences..."

Xie Wei returned to the classroom and, seeing the students who were completely disoriented, began to provide psychological counseling.

"..."

The students remained silent.

They heard Xie Rou say, "My brother said I'm stupid..."

Now they understand that in their homeroom teacher Xie Wei's eyes, they are all like fools.

As for Xie Rou being a student of both Boss Hua and Boss Su, they were completely unmoved.

"Class advisor, maybe I should change my major..."

Class monitor Liao Juntong raised his hand and stood up, saying with a bitter face, "I can barely pass math, and I heard that they're going to add new subjects like computer science next semester. I don't think I'll be able to learn it..."

"Yes, class advisor, I want to change my major..."

The students in the class were really devastated.

Xie Rou is incredibly good at solving math problems. She can do calculus mentally, while countless others have discussed for a long time without finding a solution. Xie Rou, on the other hand, can automatically come up with a model in her mind as soon as she sees a problem.

Xie Wei's face turned ugly.

What the hell!
After four years of nurturing these seedlings, is it really possible that not a single one will survive?

No!

Such a thing must not be allowed to happen.

"Class, our major doesn't require such advanced levels. Xie Rou's math skills, even if they don't reach the professional level of a mathematician, are still top-tier... So, I'll get you a different math teacher..."

Mo Lingyu's math skills are also quite good.

Moreover, Xie Rou treated him like he was an idiot back then...

"Me, teach math to your students? I studied information and communication engineering!"

When Xie Wei returned home, he discussed with Mo Lingyu about having her tutor math for a while. Mo Lingyu looked surprised, "Isn't it supposed to be my second sister who's tutoring?"

"She drove all my students to become withdrawn; all of them are clamoring to change their majors."

Xie Wei immediately told Mo Lingyu about Xie Rou's class performance.

"That's in line with her style. Her students will suffer from now on."

Mo Lingyu began to mourn for the students whose whereabouts Xie Rou was still unknown.

"Don't let her take on students, especially undergraduates."

Xie Wei shook his head.

At first, he thought that Xie Rou would change a lot after studying at the Institute of Mathematics and the Institute of Aerospace. However, Xie Wei found it difficult to understand Xie Rou's lectures, so he realized that he could not let Xie Rou teach undergraduate students.

Just like Wei Shen from his original world.

Those who lack talent simply cannot understand what Wei Shen is saying.

That's not something you can understand just because you get a perfect score on the college entrance exam in math.

"Okay, let me try."

Mo Lingyu has been studying all these years. Information and communication engineering itself requires a high level of mathematical foundation. Moreover, Mo Lingyu had a good relationship with Xie Rou back then, and learned from Xie Rou how to construct mathematical models in her mind, which she then taught to other classmates.

She simply couldn't learn mental calculus.

Most of the students in the 78 experimental class learned brain modeling, although it was only some basic and simple ones; otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy for them to learn.

"Wait a minute, didn't our class compile learning materials on this topic before? And didn't the experimental class use them too?"

Mo Lingyu suddenly remembered that back then, they had compiled the learning methods provided by Xie Wei and Xie Rou into written materials, which they not only shared in class but also passed on to the younger students in the experimental class.

"Don't even mention it. The experimental classes got progressively worse with each passing year. This method already required a high level of logical thinking and spatial reasoning, as well as a strong mathematical foundation... Eventually, it was abandoned... The materials are in the library..."

"..."

Mo Lingyu was at a loss for words. "The college entrance examination is getting harder and harder, and the scores are getting higher and higher, but it is actually more difficult for students to study?"

She doesn't understand.

"Professor Qian has a manuscript called 'Manuscripts of Mechanics,' which I don't understand in many places... Xie Rou gave up pursuing her doctorate at the Institute of Mathematics after reading a photocopy of the manuscripts that Director Liang Hongbin showed her... This is like the various martial arts techniques carved on stone walls in Jin Yong's wuxia novels. Even martial arts masters with profound skills cannot learn these techniques and may even suffer from qi deviation..."

Xie Wei originally wanted to say that Qian Xuesen's "Manuscript of Mechanics" was like the most advanced cultivation technique of the human race in a fantasy novel. For an ordinary person to read it would be like a Nascent Soul cultivator glancing at a Primordial Ancestor-level cultivation technique—their Dao heart would shatter, and they would explode and die. But there were no fantasy novels these days.

It can't be explained.

"..."

Mo Lingyu really couldn't refute it.

The next day, Xie Wei brought Mo Lingyu to the class. At first, he only introduced Mo Lingyu as being from the 78 experimental class, without telling the students that Mo Lingyu had spent several years abroad.

Then tell the students that Mo Lingyu is the new math teacher.

Knowing the situation in the class, Mo Lingyu used several complex variables as a starting point to give the students a lesson that was both in-depth and easy to understand. This one lesson alone made the students, who had thought they would never be able to learn mathematics in their lifetime, feel that they could do it again.

"Classmates, don't think about Associate Professor Xie Rou's classes. Her level is high enough to guide graduate students in mathematics... Back when I was still an undergraduate, Associate Professor Xie Rou was just a student who had skipped a grade from junior high to high school. Not just me, but our entire class was considered idiots in her eyes... Except for your homeroom teacher, who is also my husband, Xie Wei, everyone in the class was considered an idiot in her eyes..."

"..."

Everyone immediately felt at ease.

gentlemen?

Wait a minute, while most people call their partner "lover," highly educated women call their partner "sir"!
Everyone's eyes widened.

And so, the legendary master's wife appeared before their eyes.

"Master's wife?"

Someone exclaimed.

The whole class immediately became excited.

I heard from the class monitor that the teacher's wife had returned, but no one else has heard anything from her.

So beautiful, she and Xie the Demon Lord are truly a perfect match.

"Come on, nice to meet you. Your class advisor and I are married. Please have some wedding candy..."

Mo Lingyu pulled out a bunch of White Rabbit milk candies from her handbag, leaving Xie Wei dumbfounded.

When he went out, he noticed that Mo Lingyu's bag was very bulging, and he thought that she had prepared a lot of lesson plans.

It was filled with candy.

When did she buy it?

"Teacher's wife, didn't you just return from studying abroad? Will you be our math teacher from now on?"

A man asked.

They really didn't want to be tormented by Xie Rou.

How wonderful is your teacher's wife!

She's beautiful, gentle, and a good lecturer who doesn't look down on students' intelligence; although Xie Rou is also beautiful, her lectures are completely incomprehensible...

"Master's wife, you are so beautiful!"

The girls in the class spoke with a hint of bitterness in their voices.

Although Xie Wei was secretly called a devil by many students, it didn't stop countless girls from having a crush on him.

However, there are rumors that Xie Wei is attracted to men...

In addition, Xie Wei usually doesn't have much contact with any girls and is extremely strict, even harsh, towards all students, so no girl dares to confess her feelings.

As it turns out, Xie Wei was waiting for such a beautiful and capable woman.

Why did you introduce yourself to them as my lover?

After class, Xie Wei asked Mo Lingyu.

"Why don't you introduce me? There are so many girls in the whole school who have a crush on you, you're probably the only one who doesn't know... When I went abroad, it was also related to this. Although you're indifferent to all girls, I had to keep other girls who had designs on you away, it was too tiring..."

Mo Lingyu sighed, "Now that I have the certificate, I'm legal! I have to assert my rights!"

"..."

What can Xie Wei say?
As long as Mo Lingyu is happy, it won't affect anything anyway.

"Let's go~"

Seeing that Xie Wei's expression was normal, Mo Lingyu breathed a sigh of relief.

When it comes to love, both men and women are selfish.

She is no exception.

"What are you doing? It's still early!"

Xie Wei shuddered.

He didn't want to go home.

Every day, Mo Lingyu told Xie Wei that he should get pregnant as soon as possible.

After giving birth, she has to focus on her work, otherwise she doesn't know when she'll have time to have a baby again when she gets busy with work.

Every morning when Xie Wei gets up, he has to lean against the wall for a while to recover.

They were eagerly awaiting the arrival of Mo Lingyu's relatives.

Now he understands why some people say that a woman's menstrual period is not an obstacle for a man, but rather a protective shield.

Damn it!
He feared he wouldn't last until Mo Lingyu became pregnant.

"Go collect the wedding gifts! I've got my pockets full of wedding candy."

Seeing Xie Wei trembling, Mo Lingyu rolled her eyes at him, "It's broad daylight!"

I wish night would never come!

Xie Wei said earnestly.

Unfortunately, hope is just hope.

What's meant to come will inevitably arrive...

It's still summer vacation, and even though Xie Wei is busy with work every day and wants to stay in the office instead of going home, Mo Lingyu goes directly to his office to keep him company...

"I don't think Director Xie will make it to the start of the new semester."

Seeing Xie Wei's increasingly unsteady gait and his sweating profusely after less than a minute of squatting in a horse stance, Wei Yong shook his head repeatedly.

"That's definitely going a bit too far. But we can't really interfere in this matter. By the way, Wei Yong, doesn't your hometown produce goji berries? Get some extra for Director Xie so he can brew them in a thermos..."

Chu Yunlong also looked worried.

Seeing Xie Wei getting thinner and thinner every day, how long has it been since he exercised with them?

The couple does morning exercises together at home.

Even if they knew the reason, they couldn't interfere.

As Associate Professor Mo said, we should finish what needs to be done first, and then devote ourselves wholeheartedly to our work.

Having a baby is the thing to do right now.

They interfered?

That would affect Associate Professor Mo's ability to contribute to the country!

"Should I go buy some for you first?"

Wei Yong asked.

"Go! Don't let anyone know that Director Xie needs it..."

When Wei Yong returned with the goji berries, he started showing them off to everyone he met. Whenever someone asked, he would say he bought them for Director Xie...
