In 1978, I was admitted to Harbin Institute of Technology

Chapter 79: Boomerang, oh boomerang, why does it hit me so accurately?
"Shut up! Xie Rou herself doesn't object!"

Seeing his son behave like this in front of the school leader, Xie Jianguo couldn't help but frown.

The leader doesn't care, but Xie Wei can't just ignore it.

"Dad, they don't just adopt a daughter!"

Xie Wei became anxious.

Looking at Xie Rou, who was sitting cross-legged beside the table on the kang, looking as if it was none of her business, and seriously struggling with the food on the table, he couldn't help but feel a headache.

This girl!
Just bought with a little food?
"Xie Wei, what you said is biased!"

Liang Hongbin glanced at Xie Wei and said, "Xie Rou is young, and it is not appropriate for her to live with classmates who are much older than her at school. Liang Hongling sacrificed her child and wanted to have a child, it's that simple."

"..."

Xie Wei couldn't refute.

Xie Rou is indeed not suitable to live with a girl who is much older than her.

"Brother, my godmother makes delicious food for me and helps me with my homework...and my uncle is a physics teacher..."

Holding a chicken leg in her hand and with her face covered in oil, Xie Rou stared at Xie Wei in confusion.

There are delicious foods, and the uncle who can explain complex math problems, and comes with free physics tutoring.

Why does my brother object?

Xie Rou has already called her godmother and uncle, what else can Xie Wei object to?
When they arrived in Harbin, Du Guowang and his wife treated Xie Wei no differently than their own son.

"My second sister has already called me godmother! Xie Wei, as a brother, don't let your sister make all the decisions. What you think is right may not be suitable for the child."

Li Rui sighed silently.

Liang Hongling's way of doing things cast a great shadow on Xie Wei.

"Xie Wei, you have to be busy with study and projects every day, and the school-enterprise joint office also needs to spend energy to guide... Xie Rou has Teacher Liang and others to help take care of her, so you don't have to worry, and your parents can also rest assured."

Wu Tao didn't know what Xie Wei was thinking, so he tried to persuade him.

In his opinion, Liang Hongling lost her son in middle age, and it was obviously too late to have another one. He liked Xie Rou so much that he recognized her as his goddaughter.

"Xie Wei, didn't you always ask us to respect my sister's ideas?"

When a university professor adopts his daughter as his goddaughter, it will bring joy to the Xie family's ancestral grave.

We don’t even have time to support, so why would we oppose?
"..."

Looking at Liang Hongling and Du Guowang, Xie Wei couldn't say anything against it.

In order to allow her to learn mathematics, Liang Hongling and Du Guowang were almost on the verge of divorce.

Can you just simply recognize a daughter?

"Xie Wei, I can assure you that Rou'er doesn't want to specialize in mathematics, and I won't force her! I really want to have a daughter."

Liang Hongling looked at Xie Wei and said solemnly that if Xie Rou didn't want to, she would not force her to specialize in mathematics.

Xie Wei didn't believe a single punctuation mark in Liang Hongling's words.

"I won't force Xie Rou to specialize in physics. Although high-energy physics does need a genius like her."

Liang Hongbin also expressed his opinion.

He sighed silently in his heart: To win over Xie Rou is also to win over Xie Wei, isn't it?
Liang Hongbin understood that his sister preferred to let Xie Wei focus on mathematics.

Liang Hongling proposed to adopt Xie Rou as her goddaughter. On the one hand, Liang Hongling really wanted a daughter. She had no time to have a child when she was young because she was doing mathematical research, and now she can't have one.

"Second sister, are you willing to study mathematics all your life?"

Xie Wei took a deep breath and asked Xie Rou seriously.

"Isn't mathematics the foundation of all science and engineering? Brother, you said before that no matter whether it is building missiles or airplanes, mathematics must be the basis and mathematical models must be used for research. Mathematicians are not necessarily physicists or chemists, but physicists and chemists cannot be bad at mathematics. You said that, right?"

The bullet from half a year ago once again accurately hit Xie Wei's forehead.

"How could I forget! Research on missile and aircraft aerodynamic layout does require excellent mathematical models..."

Xie Wei looked embarrassed.

After all, Xie Rou is too young.

"Come on, come on, this is a happy occasion, let's have a drink together."

Seeing that Xie Wei had no objection, Li Rui, the witness, hurriedly picked up the wine cup.

The atmosphere suddenly became heated.

During the meal, the two bottles of Jiannanchun that Xie Jianguo brought were finished, and Du Guowang even dug out the hidden wine from his home, and several people drank several bottles in succession.

Seeing Liang Hongling smiling and drinking with others, Xie Wei felt relieved. Perhaps Liang Hongling really wanted to have a daughter, rather than just accepting Xie Rou as her goddaughter in order to let her learn mathematics.

Xie Jianguo drank too much.

Not being able to get into university is the biggest regret in his life.

I never thought that two university professors would take the initiative to adopt my daughter as their goddaughter. This is more worthy of joy than Xie Wei being admitted to university and myself being rehired as a factory director after retirement.

I think a university professor can educate children better than Xie Jianguo!

So, Director Xie was drunk.

Really drunk.

He was so drunk that he forgot to ask his son why he firmly opposed Du Guowang and his wife adopting Xie Rou as their goddaughter.

Xie Wei didn't drink much, and when it was over, it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening.

Together with Wang Zheng, I sent the old man to the guesthouse near the school before heading towards the school.

"Xie Wei, thank you. Since I came to school, I have never seen my aunt so happy as today."

What the hell?

Auntie!

Is Wang Zheng Liang Hongling’s nephew?

"What's so surprising? I'm just an assistant. Can Director Du order me around like this?"

Got it!
Case solved.

No wonder, ever since Xie Wei met Wang Zheng, Du Guowang never treated Wang Zheng as an outsider.

"Xie Wei, thank you."

Wang Zheng suddenly became serious and bowed deeply to Xie Wei.

The unexpected gift frightened Xie Wei so much that he quickly dodged and looked at Wang Zheng in horror: "Old Wang, you look a little scary when you're drunk. I still want to live a few more years."

Since they met, Wang Zheng has done his best to be nice to Xie Wei.

Except for asking Xie Wei to do well in the entrance examination, Wang Zheng did not make any other demands on Xie Wei.

Why is this happening all of a sudden?
Could it be that Wang Zheng was worried that he would instill some ideas into Xie Rou and prevent her from getting close to Liang Hongling?

"Last year, I took the college entrance examination but failed. My uncle has never asked anyone for help in his life, nor has he ever sought benefits for himself. Because my parents are gone, he brought me back from the educated youth camp to be his assistant..."

Xie Wei was stunned.

Wang Zheng said this on his own initiative, definitely not for his own comfort.

What does he want to do?

"After my cousin died, my aunt has been in grief. My uncle is unmarried and has no children. Xie Rou's appearance will make their lives complete... I am not suitable to be my uncle's assistant. There are many jobs that I cannot handle. My uncle has been considering other positions for me... Today you suggested that I go to the school-enterprise joint office, which is just right..."

Nima!

Xie Wei was completely dumbfounded.

He was so angry at that shameless old Du Guowang for irresponsibly suggesting that he develop the market just because he said he wanted to study aerospace. He wanted to transfer Wang Zheng away, as he would have no one to do his bidding.

Revenge!
Now revenge has turned into help.

The worst thing is that now that Wang Zheng is gone, I have to do a lot of things on my own.

Xie Wei couldn't bear to see his sister starve, right?
Xie Rou likes to get up at four in the morning to study, without eating, and in a daze...

Boomerang, boomerang!

"Xie Wei, the principal asked me to tell you that the school-enterprise joint operation focuses on market development, but your time and energy should be put into technology research and development. For market development, just tell me and Wu Tao to do it. When I am on a business trip in the future, please take care of my aunt, uncle, and little cousin..."

Hey!
Xie Wei almost cursed out loud.

Xie Rou is my own sister. Do you, a wild cousin, need to ask me to take good care of my own sister?

What bothered Xie Wei even more was that the old guys in the school were more shrewd than each other.

That bastard Wu Tao is not a good person either.

You didn’t tell me when you came to see me in the afternoon!

Looking at Wang Zheng with a sincere face in front of him, Xie Wei suddenly thought that if he didn't mention letting Wang Zheng go to the school-enterprise joint office, that old guy Du Guowang would shamelessly come to him and beg him, wouldn't he owe him a favor?

Well, I missed an opportunity to make the department head owe me a favor.
