The passionate years starting from the college entrance examination

Chapter 374, Big Day (please vote)
In the spring of 1979, Cuihua Hutong.

When Chen Guohua returned home, the living room was extremely lively and the air was filled with the aroma of food.

"Is there a guest at home? Why are there roast duck and chicken stewed with mushrooms today? It's quite rich."

As he walked into the living room, Chen Guohua said with a smile.

As a result, at this time, two sisters, Chen Xi and Chen Si, ran out immediately:

"Dad, dad, eldest brother brought someone back."

Object?

As soon as these two words appeared, Chen Guohua was surprised.

In the past few years, Yu Moli has been making arrangements for Chen Wei to introduce potential partners. Although he is only nineteen years old now, and there is still about a year and a half before the legal marriage at the age of twenty, his mother was still there when he was sixteen or seventeen years old. I already started to worry about it.

In fact, according to Yu Moli's character, it is unlikely that she would care about these things.

It's just that after people reach a certain age, they will unconsciously do what they should do at that age.

For example, when it comes to finding partners for your children, Chen Wei is too addicted to work. I never heard him talk about female classmates at home.

As a result, the family members were a little worried that he would not be able to find a partner in the future, so Yu Moli was so anxious.

Since childhood, few female classmates have come to play at home, and Chen Wei has never been seen hanging out with any female classmates. He even rarely talks about this in his daily conversations.

It’s very strange: Could it be that he developed too late?
As a result, someone was brought back unexpectedly, and the family was still very surprised.

As a father, Chen Guohua was also surprised.

"Dad, this is Tao Zi"

Just when Chen Guohua looked over, his eldest son had already pulled Tao Zi to stand up and introduced him.

Seeing Chen Weiwei's generous appearance, not shy at all, Chen Guohua nodded secretly, but also wondered: After all, he was bringing his partner home, why did he feel like he was fine?

However, Chen Guohua soon saw the clues. This boy Chen Wei was just pretending. If he hadn't been observant, he would have been deceived by this boy.

Tao Zi is a pretty girl. Looking at her height, I thought she was a northern girl, but it turns out she is an authentic southern girl.

Their family has always been in the south, and it was not until a few years ago that they moved to the capital.

Unlike the Chen family, Tao Zi's father is in the education system, while her mother is the deputy leader of the art troupe.

Tao Zi herself is a master's student at Fudan University and currently works as a lecturer at Peking University.

As for how she met Chen Wei, Yu Moli, Hu Pinggu, and Dong Jingxue were all very interested.

So, after a brief introduction, we all sat down to eat together and chatted slowly.

After the meal, the whole family liked Tao Zi very much. After all, being a lecturer at Peking University was a natural bonus.

You know, Yun Wanshang was a professor at Peking University before, and later a professor at Nanjing University and Renmin University. Chen Guohua is known as the youngest mathematics professor at Peking University, and Yu Moli is also a graduate of Peking University.

Not to mention that Chen Si is currently studying at Peking University, and two siblings, Chen Xi and Chen An, also aim to be admitted to Peking University.

It can almost be said that many members of the Chen family are related to Peking University.

Therefore, Tao Zi, as a lecturer at Peking University, can gain the favor of the Chen family very well.

After dinner, facing the enthusiasm of the Chen family, Tao Zi wanted to leave first because she was a little overwhelmed.

However, facing such a well-matched prospective daughter-in-law, how could Yu Moli be willing to let her leave so quickly? They haven’t even been treated well yet.

It was Chen Guohua who saw the clues, so he grabbed Yu Moli and asked Chen Wei to send Tao Zi back first.

"What are you doing? Really, it's rare for our son to bring someone home, and it's even rarer that Tao Zi is such a perfect match for our son. If we don't finalize it quickly, aren't you afraid that she will run away?"

Seeing Chen Wei and Tao Zi leaving, Yu Moli glared at Chen Guohua angrily.

The latter shrugged and said:
"You are just too enthusiastic. You scared people away, and now you are blaming me?"

After laughing for a moment, he continued:

"And didn't you notice that something was wrong with your son tonight? He was too calm, wasn't he? We usually talk to him about our partners, but he is not like this."

"Wait a little longer. When he comes back, he will definitely come to me."

When Yu Moli heard this, he immediately expressed that he wanted to make a bet with him.

The couple wanted to make a bet, and the children Chen Si, Chen Xi, and Chen An were booing nearby, and the scene was quite cheerful for a while.

This bet is only a small reward and punishment, and only the two of them know about it. Children like Chen Si don't know about it.

"Mom and dad are so loving. It's been twenty years."

Several children were very envious and proud. Chen Gonglu and Yun Wanshang on the side looked at each other and smiled without saying anything.

A harmonious, united family with almost no quarrels is a very good thing for the next generation.

And it can also be more reassuring for the elderly.

Soon, when Chen Wei came back, he couldn't wait to find his father, and he wanted to go to the study with his father to talk about something.

"Is there something you can't talk about here? Why do you have to go to the study room?"

When Yu Moli heard this, the boss suddenly became unhappy.

Because this means that she lost the bet she had just made with Chen Guohua.

It wasn't that she couldn't afford to lose, but she blamed herself for not noticing that her eldest son had something on his mind just now.

Indeed, the whole family was unprepared for bringing their partner home so suddenly. Of course Chen Guohua didn't believe that everything was fine.

Chen Wei glanced at his mother and said nothing, but looked at his father with pleading eyes.

At this time, Chen Guohua approached Yu Moli's ear with a smile, whispered something, and then ran away before she could take out her fist.

Obviously they are almost forty years old, but they are still in love as before, and the way they get along is the same as when they first fell in love twenty years ago, which is enviable.

In the study, the father and son sat down. Chen Wei hesitated again and didn't open his mouth for a long time.

Seeing his appearance, Chen Guohua couldn't help but sigh.

Half an hour later, Chen Guohua realized that two young men, Chen Wei and Tao Zi, were pregnant out of wedlock.

This situation is indeed somewhat rare.

In fact, the Chen family doesn't have a very strict family tradition, and it doesn't say it can't do this or that.

But when it comes to getting pregnant out of wedlock, it's still a bit surprising.

No matter what era it is, pregnancy out of wedlock is a difficult matter for both parents. If it is not handled well, it may lead to death.

"You usually don't tell us anything, but now you're scared when something happens?"

After glaring at his son, Chen Guohua continued:

"I'm not angry with you, but your mother has a strong opinion of you. If she finds out about this, haha. Watch your skin carefully."

After warning his eldest son, Chen Guohua asked in detail about his son's relationship with Tao Zi.

After all, Chen Wei has always lived at home and basically has no experience staying out overnight. Except for the past few years when he lived on campus when he was studying at Peking University, he stayed at home the rest of the time.

Chen Wei is a bachelor, master and doctoral student, but his major is mathematics, and he is very talented in mathematics, so he completed his doctorate in a short period of time.

After graduating with his doctorate, he went directly to the Beijing Institute of Advanced Science to engage in theoretical mathematics research and became an assistant researcher.

In other words, he and Tao Zi got to know each other during their time at Peking University, and then got together.

Tao Zi is one year younger than Chen Wei, just eighteen years old, and has reached the legal age for marriage.

The two confirmed their relationship, and then accidentally killed someone, and then hurriedly met their parents.

Chen Wei went to meet her parents first and then took her home.

What should we do in the current situation?
After knowing the ins and outs of the matter, Chen Guohua pondered and said nothing.

Chen Wei, who was sitting across from him, was extremely anxious, but he didn't dare to disturb his father. He looked a little funny.

Chen Guohua would definitely not be able to beat a mandarin duck with a stick, but Chen Wei was really a little too 'unbridled' this time.

After all, his mother had been trying to introduce him to a partner before, but he ended up not saying a word about the partner himself, which was too much.

Now that something happened, it would be even more outrageous to come to him, a father, to wipe his ass.

But there is no way, who let this child be born to him and Yu Moli?
"Okay, don't sit still. You go back and have a good rest. I will talk to you after I discuss it with your mother."

After a pause, Chen Guohua continued:
"If you continue to refuse to tell us these big things like before, then don't blame me and your mother for not helping you."

"If you have anything to say, just say it openly and openly. Don't hide it all the time. Just like this time, even I felt caught off guard. If your mother finds out later, she probably won't be able to sleep tonight. "

"Let's talk tomorrow. Go back to your room and go to sleep."

When Chen Wei heard this, he nodded happily, and then felt a little guilty.

His rebellious mentality is indeed a bit intolerable.

Moreover, he is already nineteen years old. He is no longer a thirteen- or fourteen-year-old kid. He should be sensible.

In the bedroom, Chen Guohua told Yu Moli about his eldest son. Yu Moli immediately got up angrily and wanted to scold his eldest son.

unacceptable!

Things like getting pregnant out of wedlock have been done, which is shameful!

Fortunately, Chen Guohua comforted her in time, otherwise, Chen Wei would not be able to sleep tonight.

Then, early in the morning, Yu Moli took Chen Wei to the study to talk about something.

Chen Guohua did not continue to participate in this matter. After all, it was decided last night that as long as Chen Wei and Tao Zi decided to stay together for life, they would have a banquet first and then receive the certificate.

In any case, de facto marriage is recognized. Whether or not you get a certificate is actually not that important.

When he returned to Zhenhua Research Institute, Chen Guohua was just getting ready to work when he saw Zhang Jihan already waiting in the office.

Seeing Chen Guohua come in, Zhang Jihan hurriedly pulled the former to sit down and asked Chen Guohua how he solved the funding problem.

Yesterday, Chen Guohua had just finished talking to Xue Jinquan and the others about the funding, but Zhang Jihan hurried over after hearing the news.

This news spread really fast.

However, there are indeed no secrets in the capital!

"Leader, didn't your superiors tell you? In the next two years, Zhenhua Research Institute will slowly get rid of funding from the superiors and achieve the goal of being self-sufficient in funding."

Hearing Chen Guohua's words, Zhang Jihan felt abandoned.

The latter actually knew that Zhenhua Research Institute’s funding had been cut, because this was not only the case with Zhenhua Research Institute, but also with many other scientific research institutions.

And because many policies have been changing recently, Zhang Jihan is also exhausted.

Yes, Lao Zhang is worried about money.

Because many scientific research institutions are under his management, funding is now being cut to pave the way for concessions in economic construction.

As a result, there were many things going on, and Zhang Jihan was troubled by the funding requests from below.

Fortunately, Zhenhua Research Institute can still hold on. At first, it only cut some parts, not a lot.

Secondly, Chen Guohua, the director of Zhenhua Research Institute, is a very innovative person with many money-making ideas, so Zhang Jihan is not very worried.

Unexpectedly, not long after this, Chen Guohua had already figured out how to solve the funding problem.

That's why Zhang Jihan rushed over in such a hurry, wanting to know how Chen Guohua solved this problem.

However, he did not expect that Chen Guohua would let him know a piece of news that was like a bolt from the blue.

Co-author, will the Zhenhua Research Institute also be abandoned by the superiors?
This is Zhenhua Research Institute!
In this scientific research unit, there are institutions responsible for many top scientific research projects such as the Nantianmen Space Station Project, the Stealth Fighter Project, and the Quantum Chip Project.

If such an organization had to figure out its own solutions, wouldn't it be equivalent to cutting off all these projects?
"Guohua, what are you going to do? Do you really want to see the Zhenhua Research Institute disbanded?"

Zhang Jihan was so anxious that he wanted to get up and go to the superiors to plead for mercy and talk about this matter.

"Leader, Zhenhua Research Institute will definitely not be disbanded." Chen Guohua couldn't laugh or cry, and then said:

"It's like this. I told the leaders above that this matter should be kept secret, but I didn't expect that you didn't know about it either."

"So I can't tell you in detail now. In short, Zhenhua Research Institute will not be disbanded, and we already have sufficient scientific research funds. Not only will the previous projects not be cut off, but even starting from this summer, We will continue to recruit people.”

Zhenhua Research Institute is actually considered a behemoth in the current mainland.

But compared with foreign laboratories, they are still very different.

So after Chen Guohua made money, his first thought was to find a better place for Zhenhua Research Institute.

Wudaokou is indeed a very good place, but it is still too small after all, and many projects cannot be implemented here.

Therefore, Chen Guohua planned to wrap up the land near Baiwang Mountain in the north of Anhe Bridge.

The entire Baiwang Mountain will not move and will maintain its original vegetation, but an internal empty city will be built at the bottom of the mountain.

There is no doubt that this is a project, but such a project is very suitable for today's mainland.

There are projects under construction, which means that more jobs can be provided and wealth can be created for the country.

Where the money came from specifically, this is what Zhang Jihan wants to know right now.

Unfortunately, Chen Guohua smiled and said nothing and did not explain.

In the past, Chen Guohua would definitely explain everything in detail, but now, he definitely won't.

The superiors have already approved it, and Chen Guohua is responsible for all the funds of the Zhenhua Research Institute. He only needs to report to the superiors.

As for money, as long as it’s money coming in from abroad, the higher-ups won’t ask.

But if Zhenhua Research Institute itself invests and builds factories in the mainland, then the higher-ups will definitely send people to investigate clearly, especially in this financial aspect.

In addition, all property, technology, etc. within Zhenhua Research Institute cannot be traded.

Even if you want to use it for trading, it must be reviewed by the above.

With so many restrictions, it is actually very clear, that is, Zhenhua Research Institute needs to make money from abroad instead of causing trouble at home.

However, the leaders did not expect that Chen Guohua actually chose financial means, and they still don’t know how much money Chen Guohua made.

"Guohua, can you tell me how much money you made? Is it possible?"

Zhang Jihan was going to play the emotional card, hoping to get some money from Chen Guohua. After all, he knew very well how good the latter was at making money.

Since 1972, he has replaced Qiu Zongyue as the superior leader of Zhenhua Research Institute.

In other words, he has been working with Chen Guohua for seven years.

Seven years is enough time to learn a lot.

Before he finished speaking, Chen Guohua shook his head and said:
"I'm sorry, leader, we are also in a difficult situation. It's not like you don't know that our Zhenhua Research Institute has so many projects, and each project requires a lot of funds."

Although he has a large balance in his bank account, there is no problem even if he supports all scientific research institutions in the mainland, let alone Zhenhua Research Institute.

However, many scientific research projects of Zhenhua Research Institute are developed in cooperation with other institutions.

For example, the Nantianmen Space Station project brings together dozens of military industrial units, including the Fifth Academy, 985 Factory, etc.

Although not all of these units are involved in the Nantianmen Space Station project, even so, this is currently the most high-end project in the mainland with the largest number of scientific researchers involved.

Therefore, after the funds are cut, if the Fifth Academy and other units cannot make up the remaining part, then we will have to rely on Zhenhua Research Institute to find a solution.

Otherwise, it will only delay the project time.

There is no way, it has been ten years since the Nantianmen Space Station project was restarted in 1969.

Ten years have passed, but the establishment of a complete space station has not yet been completed. There are still two years left. It is normal for delays due to funding or other problems.

Although there has not been a single accident since the project was launched, compared with Moscow and Washington, it is definitely a smooth sailing.

But even so, we are now facing the problem of funding cuts. This difficulty is not easy to overcome.

In addition, once Chen Guohua opens his mouth to help other institutions overcome the current difficulties, what will happen in the future?

Once a dependence mentality is formed, it will not be a good thing for the subsequent economic construction. Besides, the benefits of rice rise and the enemies of rice rise.

Chen Guohua is not a leader, so he will not take the initiative to take these responsibilities.

The most important thing is that if you do well, you will receive verbal praise. If you do not do well, it will be your own responsibility.

Based on this, Chen Guohua refused without thinking too much.

After all, there was no need to think too much about this kind of thing, and he didn't think about it that much at all.

The Siberian cold wind has passed, and the next wave of change is a big wave. If they can't survive such a wave, then it is normal for them to be eliminated by the times.

Zhang Jihan, who was rejected, suddenly fell silent.

It is indeed a bit difficult to impose on others, so it is no wonder that Chen Guohua refused directly.

"Guohua, I'm sorry. I am in a hurry and have to seek medical treatment. I have been worried about funding recently. Alas."

Zhang Jihan smiled bitterly, apologized, and then said with some sincerity.

When the time comes, he is still acting in front of Chen Guohua. He is truly worthy of being a leader. He has sacrificed his life to solve the funding problem.

Facing Lao Zhang's subtext, Chen Guohua did not relent, but continued to shake his head and rejected the other party again.

"Leader, everyone is in the same difficulty now, and my family has a big business. No matter how capable I am, I can't take care of so much. You'd better go to the higher-ups to report it."

"Oh, by the way, I have a plan here. Please hand it over for me."

Thinking of the Baiwangshan project plan, Chen Guohua immediately took it out of the drawer and handed it to the other party.

At this moment, Zhang Jihan was still a little disappointed. After taking it, he looked at it and his eyes suddenly looked different.

Simply because the Baiwangshan Project Plan is obviously a project of Zhenhua Research Institute, and the total investment is marked on it as tens of billions of yuan.

Good guy, one moment I told him that I had no money, and the next moment I came up with a big project that cost tens of billions of yuan?
"Where did you get so much money? Didn't you say you had no money?"

Zhang Jihan's face was full of disbelief, with a hint of blame, complaint and sadness in his tone, but also some surprise and expectation.

His thoughts are indeed a little complicated, but who makes him really 'desperate' recently?
Economic construction requires money, but making money is not that easy.

The foreign exchange earned from abroad every year used to be put into large engineering projects such as aerospace, but now it has begun to be diverted to infrastructure projects, urbanization construction and other projects.

It just so happened that he, Zhang Jihan, was in charge of a scientific research unit, and he was the most seriously injured!
In the past, he had unlimited glory and a bright future, but now he is like a clay Buddha crossing the river, unable to save himself!
And Chen Guohua, who used to be his closest subordinate, now no longer talks to him "confidentially".

"Leader, it's not that our Zhenhua Research Institute has no money, it's that we don't have extra money to save other fraternal units."

Chen Guohua spread his hands, and the above had already made it so clear, so he would definitely not blatantly violate the principle.

Chen Guohua will definitely not care about any unit that has no business dealings with Zhenhua Research Institute.

I can’t control it!

What's more, if no one is laid off in these units, where will he recruit people?

Zhang Jihan was so beaten that he had no choice but to hide his face in shame and leave.

However, after the Baiwangshan project plan was submitted, the leaders above were quickly shocked.

What the hell?

A tens of billions project?
Hollow out the mountain and build a small underground city inside?

In the open space next to Baiwang Mountain, an ordinary residential town is built, just for living?

Then build a subway from Baiwang Mountain directly to Zhenhua Research Institute and the urban area of ​​Beijing?

No wonder it requires tens of billions of yuan. Such a project is indeed huge enough, and ordinary units really can't take it on.

Only the Ministry can take the next step.

So, in the next few days, Chen Guohua was called to Di'anmen Street for questioning.

There are many things, which can be simply classified into three points: one is the money issue, the other is the project details, and the third is the technical requirements and construction difficulty.

The money problem was easy to solve. When the leader heard that he was coming from abroad, if he needed foreign exchange cash, gold, crude oil, etc., Chen Guohua could buy them.

There was no further inquiry.

Why don't you ask more?

Because the money comes from abroad, not from the mainland.

What's more, if you make tens of billions of yuan in the mainland, it is impossible for the leaders to not receive any news.

Not to mention that the leader also asked how much money Chen Guohua had abroad. The latter simply said that it currently only has tens of billions of dollars.

Chen Guohua did not tell the truth about his twelve-digit earnings, but even if it was only eleven figures, it was very, very amazing.

Tens of billions of dollars!

Being able to make so much money in such a short period of time must be related to the recent oil crisis.

During the oil crisis, the price of crude oil rose by more than US$67 per barrel. This huge increase is enough to explain everything.

In fact, the leaders have many questions. After all, they really want to know how Chen Guohua makes money?
Since he has never left the capital, could this money still automatically fly into his pocket?

As for whether Chen Guohua had asked his eldest nephew Chen Yuanchao to start making a lot of money using his position a long time ago, the leader believed that this was impossible.

The reason is also very simple. Chen Yuanchao is surrounded by Xia Xinrui, Lu Qingqi, and Wang Zhenbiao, who are watching him almost all the time.

If there are any small tricks, it basically cannot escape their eyes.

Besides, that was tens of billions of dollars. It was impossible for Chen Yuanchao to hide so much money perfectly under the noses of Xia Xinrui and the others.

After all, it is not easy to make so much money.

Apart from the money matter, the remaining two points are relatively easy.

After reporting the three major issues regarding the source of the money to his leader, Chen Guohua finally passed this level.

The marriage of the eldest son Chen Wei has also been settled.

Chen Guohua and Yu Moli met Tao Zi's parents. The Tao family had some complaints about this matter, not only towards Chen Wei, but also towards Tao Zi.

However, now that the matter has come to this point, we can only go with the flow.

Otherwise, if you really want to beat a mandarin duck, it will definitely not work.

Besides, Chen Wei is not bad either. Even Tao Zi married him, which is considered a high ranking.

Although Tao Zi's parents were not very clear about Chen Guohua's other identities, just being a mathematics professor at Peking University was enough to figure it out.

Not to mention, when the two parties met that day, Yan Shouchun booked a restaurant in Fengze Garden and ate Tan's cuisine.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with these, but the key is that people like Long Kanghou, Sun Zhusheng, and Huang Dongsheng are obviously Chen Guohua's bodyguards.

If Tao Zi's parents were not stupid, they would definitely guess that Chen Guohua's identity was not just a professor at Peking University.

Therefore, Tao Zi's parents had no reason to object to this marriage.

The wedding is scheduled to take place after the beginning of spring, in March.

May is the best month, but in May, Tao Zi's belly is already very pregnant, and since it is late spring and early summer, she can definitely see it if she wears cooler clothes.

If word gets out that it's 'marriage with a son', it won't sound so good to either the man or the woman.

In short, it is not good to be gossiped about.

So it is better to resolve this matter as early as possible.

So the two families scheduled the wedding in March.

The Spring Festival of 1979 was at the end of January. This festival has already passed, and the Lantern Festival has passed.

March 13th, which is the 15th day of the second lunar month, is actually not that far away.

After the wedding day was decided, it was time to arrange the wedding. Chen Guohua had no involvement in this matter.

Anyway, after it was settled, he just told his former boss and old friends that he would come to the scene for a wedding drink.

Nowadays, things have changed, and many things have been relaxed. Unlike before, everything was cautious.

"Chen Wei is getting married?"

In the block next to Di'anmen Street, in a courtyard with guards standing guard, Chen Guohua sat in front of an old man. The old man asked in surprise.

The old man sitting in the wheelchair is clearly Qiu Zongyue.

Seven years ago, he abdicated and retired completely.

Unexpectedly, after retirement, his body would age quickly, but he did not leave.

Many of Qiu Zongyue's old friends have left one by one, but he is the only one who is still alive and well.

In fact, Chen Gonglu is also very old, but he looks much younger than Qiu Zongyue at this time.

The older a person gets, the harder it is to tell their age, because no one knows when they will be gone.

Some people left in their thirties or forties, while others were over a hundred years old and could still walk freely.

This is life!
"Yes, he is getting married. Old leader, you have to come and have a wedding drink then. I have two bottles of Maotai liquor that I have collected for many years. Keep them for you if you like."

"Are you asking for a beating?"

When Qiu Zongyue heard Chen Guohua's words, he immediately became furious.

Good guy, can he drink Maotai?
The doctor has warned him countless times, so now he can only drink secretly. Even so, he is still scolded by the doctor.

After all, doctors only need to take a pulse to know whether the patient has drank alcohol.

It was impossible to hide it from the doctor.

"Why didn't you bring out the good wine earlier? Tell me, how many years ago was that wine?"

"Old leader, you can't blame me for this." Chen Guohua laughed and said:

"My wine is from 1957. It is a good wine from 22 years ago. There is also Wuliangye from 1959, but you may not like it."

Qiu Zongyue was so angry that he wanted to stand up and hit someone, but unfortunately Chen Guohua had already run away, making the former glared angrily.

Listen to what Chen Guohua said. Is that human talk?

The 1959 Wuliangye, what a great wine it is, how could he not like it?

None of the leaders on Di'anmen Street doesn't like drinking, they are all drunkards.

Not far away, the retired leaders who were also sunbathing in the yard were quite envious when they saw this scene.

Chen Guohua is a really nice person. Even though Qiu Zongyue has retired for so many years, the former still tries his best to take time to visit.

Moreover, other leaders knew that Qiu Zongyue and Chen Guohua had many arguments and quarrels when they worked together. Unexpectedly, after Qiu Zongyue retired, their relationship became more like a friendship.

After notifying Qiu Zongyue, Chen Guohua naturally needed to notify others.

For example, there are Professor Duan Xuefu of the Department of Mathematics at Peking University, Xu Xianyu, the former head of the Department of Computational Mathematics, and old friends like Erdez and Grothendieck.

Duan Xuefu will not go into details. He is in good health and is only sixty-five years old. Among the elderly, he is considered very young.

Xu Xianyu is 69 years old this year and will soon be 70.

Logically speaking, at this age, he should have retired long ago, but he was still rehired after retirement.

Just because Peking University is still short of people, it is natural to hope that the old man Xu Xianyu can continue to contribute more to the education of the motherland.

Erdesh is also a relatively long-lived person. He is only one year older than Duan Xuefu and is 66 years old this year.

He has not retired either, and still serves as a professor at Peking University and the Beijing Institute of Advanced Science, responsible for teaching and theoretical research.

After all, he is a workaholic. It is very difficult for him to retire. Besides, he is alone and will be bored after retirement. He might as well continue working.

Grothendieck is even younger. Born in 1928, he is only fifty-one years old this year and in his prime.

More than ten years ago, Chen Guohua kept foreign mathematicians like Grothendieck and Erdös in the capital. At that time, even Chen Guohua himself was not very confident that he could completely keep them here.

Unexpectedly, more than ten years later, they have regarded the capital as their home.

Nowadays, if you don’t look at their faces but just listen to their words, you will never suspect that they are foreigners.

Because they speak very authentic Beijing dialect, and their accent is smoother than that of the locals.

For this reason, Chen Guohua felt that the decision made at that time was the right one.

In fact, the reason why they are so happy to stay here is not only Chen Guohua, the emperor of the world of mathematics, but also the environment and food in the capital that keep them here.

Otherwise, how could it be possible to retain people despite the harsh weather conditions in the capital, such as long winters, sandstorms and other climatic conditions?

Authentic delicacies such as roast duck, noodles with soy sauce, braised pork, and donkey rolling, as well as eight major cuisines and abundant ingredients from north to south, are all important reasons for retaining people like Grothendieck.

Especially Grothendieck, who actually found a master's student from Peking University as his wife.

The reason is not how beautiful this wife is, but that she can cook good food, especially Sichuan cuisine.

It was obvious that Grothendieck himself was afraid of chili peppers, and as a result he had a tendency to be abused. The spicier and more numbing he was, the more he liked them.

Every time Chen Guohua had dinner with the other party, he would wonder if the other party had any special hobbies.

After all relatives and friends were notified, they waited for the big day to arrive.

Although the banquet is not held at home, Cuihua Hutong definitely needs to be dressed up.

After all, this is a new era. In order to comply with economic construction, a little extravagance and waste will also contribute to the economy.

Regarding this matter, the three sisters Chen Xiaoyue, Chen Xiaomei and Chen Xiaomin were the happiest and ran to Cuihua Hutong every day.

Just because Chen Wei grew up under their eyes, especially Chen Xiaomin, who often took Chen Wei, Chen Si and the others to play everywhere when they were young.

Since the aunt-nephew relationship is so good, of course she has to come over and help.

"Oh, flowers should be arranged here. Let me tell you, this is very popular now, especially in the south..."

In Cuihua Hutong, Chen Xiaomin transformed into a commander and gave guidance.

On such a festive day, of course it must be beautifully decorated.

The difference from the original time and space is that after the change of this time and space, the wind of the southern tide blows faster.

Even here in the capital, there are many elements from the south, just because large planes fly between the capital and Baiyun City more frequently, bringing all the 'good things' from the south to the capital.

For example, flowers, because there is the Canton Fair in the south, the exhibition site needs to be decorated every year, so a lot of flowers are needed.

What's more, Baiyun City's nickname is Flower City, and there is no shortage of flowers in this place.

Therefore, Baiyun City has done a lot of research on how to arrange flowers on festivals and other festive occasions, and the patterns are endless.

In the past two years, Chen Xiaomin had followed her man on business trips to the south several times, so she knew the situation in Baiyun City relatively well.

It is rare to see flowers in bloom here in the capital, especially during the long winter, when it is even harder to see green.

That is to say, not everyone can afford to eat vegetables in greenhouses before. As for flowers in winter, they are even more rare.

But now it is March, and there are flowers in the capital, but not many.

These flowers were actually ordered by Chen Yuanchao and flown over from the south.

How to arrange it has been discussed and has been decided.

"Okay, okay, then just do as you say..."

Chen Xiaomei waved her hands helplessly, while Chen Si and Chen Xi laughed and continued to arrange the scene.

In the living room, Yun Wanshang, Hu Pinggu, Dong Jingxue and others were busy packing wedding candies, wrapping red envelopes and other tasks.

"Hey, it's already dinner time, why hasn't Guohua come back yet?"

Tomorrow is Chen Wei's big day. Logically speaking, Chen Guohua should get home early.

Hearing Aunt Hu Ping's words, Yu Moli and the others also became confused. Before he left today, Yu Moli had told him to go home early.

It seems that he must be busy with something!
