Chapter 418 Full of Honor
"I'm home?"

The old lady asked as she was busying with the fish, saying that fish are difficult to feed in winter.

In the capital, you can't feed fish in winter as you please like in summer. After all, when the temperature is high in summer, the fish are more active, while in winter the water temperature is low, the fish are less active, and consume less energy.

If they are overfed, they will die in the pond.

But the old lady is a person who can't sit still.

Fortunately, when designing the yard, the design team had anticipated this and had already laid floor heating pipes under the pool that were integrated with the house.

It doesn't cost too much. The water here is return water. Compared with the refreshing water inside the house, the temperature of the fish pond can only be maintained at about ten degrees, which can be regarded as utilizing the residual heat.

But no matter what, the fact that Xu Qingshan's house has such a design is far beyond the living standards of ordinary people.

If it were included in a documentary, it would probably be condemned, even though all the money was earned by Xu Qingshan.

"Hey, Grandma, feed the fish."

Xu Qingshan first went into the house and put down the bag in his hand before walking into the yard and squatting by the pond to accompany the old lady to feed the fish.

"My two daughters haven't come back yet, why did you come back first?"

The old lady continued stirring the mixture in her hands, then took a small bag from the side and poured some powder into the fish food bowl and continued stirring.

"They said they wanted to buy some New Year's goods, but after two days, all the stores will be closed and there will be nothing left to buy."

Xu Qingshan's face was full of fatigue. He reached out and picked up another fish dish beside him to help the old lady stir the food.

This courtyard house is well built.

The space design of the entire courtyard is great, especially the temperature control.

Xu Jinshan and the others were squatting in the yard at this time, and they could see the snow falling outside. The temperature in the yard was suitable for wearing just a sweater, so the fish food bowl placed aside would not be frozen.

"Don't we already have a lot of stuff at home? It's better to come back early to celebrate the New Year."

The little old lady pursed her lips and poured some more powder.

"What is this? Will it hurt your hands? Let me fix it."

Xu Qingshan wanted to take the fish food bowl from the old lady, but the old lady pushed it away.

"I can do it myself. This is allicin. If I put more of it in the winter, my fish won't get gastroenteritis."

The little old lady said this with great knowledge.

"Oh, my grandma is also an expert in fish breeding now?"

Xu Qingshan looked at the old lady's energetic appearance and started joking with a smile.

pretty good.

He is satisfied that he can have another chance in this life to help his grandmother live longer. Now he can do things that interest her in front of him.

Isn’t it said that nobility nourishes people?

My grandmother now has a rosy complexion and seems to be quite agile. She is even more energetic and younger than when she cooked for herself in Longjiang a few years ago.

An old man and a young boy squatted by the pond, fiddling with the fish food, and then fed the fish little by little.

After struggling for a long time, the old lady finally returned to the house leisurely.

Xu Qingshan went to wash his hands and followed him back to the hall.

"What have you been busy with recently? I haven't seen you all day. It's almost the New Year, and the school hasn't had a holiday yet?"

The little old lady leaned back in the armchair, pressing the TV remote control while asking Xu Qingshan.

She lives with these young people in Beijing, each one is busier than the other. Although she knows that they are all doing it for her own good, after all, she has to go to the hospital every month to check her physical condition, but she can just stay there and have the confinement nanny to chat with her, and occasionally go out for a walk.

Although she has made many new friends on Nanchizi Street, deep down, she still wants to be closer to her grandson.

After all, she had been raising this kid since he was born. Later, when she heard that he was bullied by his classmates when he was studying in the city, she didn't say a word and resolutely picked up her bag to take care of him.

It can be said that no matter whether it was Xu Xuejun or Lin Yuehua, the time they spent with Xu Qingsheng was not as long as that of his grandmother.

It is impossible for me to say that I have no bias among so many children and grandchildren.

But her well-behaved grandson was indeed very capable. In the past two or three years, although she did not understand much about what he did, when she heard her son talking about her grandson with other people, she could see that they were all full of admiration.

He is indeed filial to himself.

She knew very well that if Xu Qingshan had not tried his best to arrange everything for her, she would not have survived until now. But even if it was just to make her grandson happy and give him a place to go, she had to live well.

But there are also two well-behaved, sensible and caring girls at home.

I don't have to worry about my affairs after death.

When a man gets old, he should accept his fate.

This little kid of mine was born to repay my gratitude.

Xu Qingshan saw a look of reminiscence on his grandmother's face, and he did not rush to answer the question. Instead, he went to the side to pick up the briefcase he had brought back.

When his grandmother had just come to her senses, he handed the contents of the briefcase to her to see.

"No, Grandma, look at this."

Xu Qingshan took out a certificate and patiently explained it to his grandmother.

"This is a certificate issued to me by the Beijing Municipal Government. The project is the same one you saw on CCTV news before. It's called the Beijing Science and Technology Award, and I'm the first person to complete it."

"I received this in the Great Hall of the People, the Great Hall of the People in China that you always mentioned before. I stood on the stage to receive the award, but I'm used to it. I went up there to receive it once at the end of last year. This time it's called the first prize of the National Natural Science and Technology Award, and I'm the only one who accomplished it."

"These are issued by the Ministry of Education. One is the first prize of the National Teaching Achievement Award for Graduate Students, and the other is the special prize of the Beijing City Teaching Achievement Award. We ranked first in both."

When Xu Qingshan said this, there was no smug look on his face, only a playful smile on his face.

"You, Sun, are also a group of young masters now. The country gave me this because I taught my apprentices well."

The old lady listened to Xu Qingshan's explanation happily and interjected from time to time.

"That's great. Now you have an apprentice."

She actually doesn't really understand this or that.

The old lady had never been to school for many days in her life. The only time she had been exposed to school was when she attended night school for two years after she married Xu Qingshan’s grandfather.

In the first half of her life, the greatest impact on her was the great famine that year.

However, since her life became better, she no longer told Xu Qingshan about those things that happened back then.

"Grandma, take care of yourself. I'll take you to my lab in two months and show you the students I teach."

Xu Qingshan said with a smile.

"I'm in good health now, but there's no need to see you. After all, I don't know anything, and I'm afraid that the past will cause trouble for you."

The little old lady also replied with a smile.

"After the Chinese New Year, I may be busy for a while. The country is preparing to approve the Young Elite Scholarship I applied for, and I need to go for two defenses. You, please wait patiently. Maybe in a few years, your eldest grandson will become an academician." "Hello, academician, hello."

The old lady didn’t quite understand the concept of academician and just kept nodding and saying yes.

Perhaps because she was afraid that Xu Qingshan would think she was being perfunctory and would spoil the interest of her grandson, the old lady pointed to a few certificates and racked her brains to ask Xu Qingshan some questions.

The old man was drunk when he was accompanying Xu Qingshan. He naturally knew the character of his good grandson. He explained it so seriously in front of him because he actually hoped to get the real recognition of his family.

Even though he is now a recognized genius boy by the Chinese people, he is still her grandson after all.

The old and the young chatted for a long time in the living room.

They kept chatting until Jiang Huanxi, Tong Tong and the others returned home.

"Grandma! We bought this for you!"

When Xu Qingshan heard the sound and looked outside the house, he was stunned at first sight.

Jiang Huanxi and Tong Tong were each wearing a large flowered jacket from Northeast China, and carrying large and small bags in their hands. Lin Chenhua, who followed behind them, also came in with a bitter face, carrying a pile of things.

It was winter and the roads were slippery. Jiang Huanxi didn't dare to drive, so naturally Lin Chenhua went to help.

However, this tough guy who always had a grim face did not have a bitter face because he needed help with something, but because he was a tall and strong man wearing a large flowered jacket.

"No? Uncle, what are you doing?"

Xu Qingshan pointed at Jiang Huanxi and then at Lin Chenhua.

Are they doing some kind of novel cosplay? Why are they all wearing these big flowery jackets that look so tacky?
The two little girls ignored him and took out a brand new flowered jacket from the bag in their hands, came up to their grandmother and helped the old lady to show her how to wear it.

"Grandma, this is the pattern I picked for you. It looks good, right? Do you like it? I'll help you put it on later."

Jiang Huanxi acted lively and coquettishly towards the old lady, causing her to chuckle.

"Okay, I like it. Xiaoxi has a really good eye."

"Grandma, this is my choice."

Tong Tong was not willing to be outdone. He also took out a large flowered jacket from his bag and held it up to the old lady. However, he didn't say anything else. His stubborn movements and clear eyes made him look well-behaved.

"Okay~ Xiaotong's picks are really nice. Grandma, let's try both today."

Xu Qingshan just sat aside and watched eagerly.

This big flowered jacket is to be worn outside. Although it was a bit strange to wear such thick clothes indoors, the old lady still complied with the two little girls' wishes and put it on to try in front of them.

No, is there any difference between these two clothes?
Xu Qingshan looked at the identical bright red color.

As for the floral pattern on the clothes, he really couldn't tell any difference at first glance.

But the three women started discussing it with great interest, and even talked about the characteristics of the floral patterns on the clothes they were wearing and the clothes in their hands.

"what about me?"

Although Xu Qingshan felt that this kind of clothes did not quite suit his aesthetic taste.

But there are five people sitting in this room now, four of them are wearing clothes, and he looks a little different as the only one without any.

"It's in the bag. Check it out for yourself."

Jiang Huanxi was holding the old lady's hand and whispering something. When she saw Xu Qingshan asking a question, she threw the bag on the ground over to her.

"Brother, I didn't buy you clothes, I bought you this."

Tong Tong obediently took his other bag and returned to the old lady.

Xu Qingshan sighed deeply. When he lived in Yandong Garden, the two of them were not like this. Why did he fall out of favor as soon as he returned home?
After taking out clothes from the two bags, Xu Qingshan widened his eyes again.

Jiang Huanxi picked out a bright red flowered jacket for him, but Jun bought him even more eye-catching flowered pants.

So these two girls picked a complete set?

"Fine."

Xu Qingshan curled his lips, picked up his certificates, and coughed twice, trying to attract everyone's attention, but the two girls just turned their heads to look at him, a little surprised, and when they found that there was nothing wrong with him, they turned back and continued to chat with the old lady.

"Cough! Cough!"

Xu Qingshan raised the certificate of honor in his hand and coughed heavily twice.

"Shan'er, do you have a cold? Why are you coughing all the time? I'll go get you some medicine."

After entering the house and putting down his things, Lin Chenhua sat aside playing with his mobile phone and looked at Xu Qingshan in surprise and spoke. He didn't pay much attention to what Xu Qingshan was holding in his hand.

He usually doesn't like to talk much in the room, because the girls in the room are mainly talking to the little old ladies, and as an old man, there is not much for him to interrupt, so most of the time after he finishes his work at the Longjiang base, he comes back to accompany his mother, just browsing his phone while looking at her.

"Uncle, don't you see what this is in my hand?"

Xu Qingshan couldn't pretend anymore. He glanced at Jiang Huanxi and the others and could only ask Lin Chenhua directly.

"Award certificates, right? I know. Haven't you been receiving awards everywhere these days? I've heard about it from Boss Lei and the others at the base."

Lin Chenhua didn't quite understand what Xu Qingshan was bragging about.

"What's wrong? Mr. Lei, didn't they say that you got all the awards? Is there any award you didn't receive?"

"No? I have so many honors, why don't you praise me?"

Xu Qingshan felt that his defense was a little broken.

He has been running around these past few days and is exhausted. He is also thinking about showing off these certificates to his family during the Chinese New Year.

After all, Xu Qingshan felt that for them, they might not feel much about the Fields Medal, but they would definitely care about national awards.

"You even won the Fields Medal and the Ramanujan Medal. Is it strange to win these awards?"

Lin Chenhua spoke again.

"It would be strange if you didn't take it, right?"

"Uncle, do you understand this too?"

Xu Qingshan raised his eyebrows and asked.

Lin Chenhua looked at his nephew, who was obviously one of the top scientists in China, as if he were an idiot.

"Shan'er, you've put me in charge of the Longjiang base. I deal with those people from the technology company every day. If I don't get your business sorted out, how can I tell them that I'm the person in charge? And I'm your uncle."

As soon as Lin Chenhua finished speaking, Jiang Huanxi joined in.

"Qingshan, don't underestimate your uncle. Grandma said that your uncle was the top student in his grade when he was in junior high school."

Xu Qingshan:
OK OK.

It seems that I was shallow and careless and did not dodge.

Xu Qingshan looked left and right, then resolutely squeezed next to Jiang Huanxi, hugged the little girl and chatted with her grandmother.

After all, grandma has sentimental value!
