Rebirth 2010, the best

Chapter 4 Core

6:40 in the morning.

Jingle Bell……

The noise on the phone made Xu Ruochu frown instinctively.

She didn't want to answer.

Sleepy.

But I had to accept it.

Because the ringtone is too harsh.

Following the voice, I picked up the phone:

"Hey."

"Hello, ma'am. It's 6:40. Please get up."

"Oh……"

The phone call ended in a daze.

6 points.

Jingle Bell……

Xu Ruochu, who hadn't reacted yet, felt that he was woken up again just after closing his eyes.

"……Hello!"

Her tone was a little bad.

"Hello, ma'am. It's 6:50. Please get up."

"..."

The call was immediately hung up.

then……

7 o'clock.

"Hello, ma'am..."

After being woken up three times in a row, Xu Ruochu finally woke up.

Opening your eyes, you see an unfamiliar ceiling.

She was stunned for a moment... and then sat up instantly.

Instinctively touched his body.

"call……"

Fortunately, the clothes are intact.

then……

where am I?
She looked around, then saw her bag and the note.

I picked it up and took a look... Instantly, all my memories of last night came back to me.

Designated driver 107, Lu Yao...right?
then……

grandmother……

In an instant, Xu Ruochu had a splitting headache!

But the cell phone in her bag also rang.

I quickly took it out and took a look, and immediately connected:
"Hey."

"sister……"

A hoarse voice came from the phone:

"Sister, are you here?"

“…Let’s go now.”

After hanging up the phone, Xu Ruochu's eyes showed a hint of sadness, and he looked at the words on the note with unfocused eyes.

At this moment, the hotel phone rang again:

"Ding-ling-ling... Hello, ma'am. Your special car is ready. Where is the best place to wait for you?"

"Special car?"

Xu Ruochu was stunned.

"Yes, you signed up for the hotel car service when you checked in last night."

"Uh……"

She couldn't help but look at the note again, but she didn't think too much about it and said directly:

"Please wait for me for 15 minutes. I'll be right in front of the hotel."

"Okay, the license plate number of the special car is..."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Ruochu quickly ran into the bathroom.

After washing her face, brushing her teeth and combing her hair, she ran out unsteadily in her high heels.

When I went downstairs, the front desk staff at the hotel had not yet given instructions.

When the lobby manager saw her coming out, he quickly tried to stop her:
"Miss……"

Xu Ruochu didn't have time to deal with him, so he just left a message:
"My name is Xu Ruochu. Give your general manager Liu Shuangqing a call and he will tell you what to do."

After saying that, under Chen Fei's puzzled gaze, he trotted out, found the car and left.

……

10 o'clock in the morning.

Although Lu Yao was reluctant, he still forced himself to get up.

Today is Saturday, and it is also the day when my dad comes back.

This time, Dad will stay at home for half a day.

I got home at noon and left in the evening to go to Guangdong.

It has been more than 20 days since Lu Yuanshan last came back.

As soon as he went out, Lu Yao bumped into someone head-on.

"Oh, that scared me to death."

Chen Aihua, who had just walked out of the bathroom, looked at his son speechlessly:

"You little brat! Are you trying to scare your mother to death?"

Lu Yao shook his head:

"Is Dad back?"

"We've reached the loop. Come over and give me a hand."

"it is good."

Lu Yao nodded and pointed to the bathroom:
"Let me wash my face first."

The Lu family’s house is not big, only 60 square meters.

It's a two-bedroom apartment.

My parents live in the master bedroom, and he either sleeps on the hard bed in the living room or in the bedroom.

It depends on whether Lu Qing comes back or not.

Today was not Lu Qing's university holiday, so he was the one sleeping.

After washing his face and refreshing himself, he went straight to the kitchen.

Chen Aihua was working in the small kitchen, making Lao Lu's favorite braised pork.

"What do you need me to do?"

"Mix a cold dish. Your dad swapped shifts with someone last night and hasn't slept since the second half of the night. He'll have a drink when he comes back soon, and then it'll be time for bed. The cold dish you made the day before yesterday tasted great, mix another one."

"it is good."

Lu Yao nodded, took the bundle of spinach and started picking it.

Spinach, vermicelli, and peanuts.

This is the main ingredient of this dish called "Spinach Vermicelli". The vermicelli must be soaked in hot water for a long time, otherwise it will be hard to bite. But it is not good to soak it for too long, otherwise the vermicelli will break.

The peanuts must be fried freshly.

Fry more and give them to dad to eat with his wine later.

Spinach should be blanched in boiling water, squeezed dry, and then seasoned with salt, sugar, vinegar, and pepper. This way it will taste refreshing and less greasy, and is a perfect match with braised pork.

Truck drivers are out and about, sleeping in the open. Although the son's cooking skills may not be as good as those of a Michelin chef, he has honed his skills in the kitchen with his mother since he was a child.

The thought behind this cold dish can definitely comfort a father who is tired from traveling and working.

……

Just as the cold dishes were ready, there was a noise at the door.

A middle-aged man with short hair, a long beard and a weather-beaten face, carrying a big travel bag, opened the door and walked in.

"Dad, you're back."

Lu Yao's eyes were full of longing.

Lu Yuanshan was gone for more than 20 days this time and even missed his son's college entrance examination.

When he came back again, Lu Yao could see how tired his father was through his slightly red eyes.

But no matter how tired Lu Yuanshan was, when he heard his son's greeting, Lao Lu still smiled. He looked up and down at his son with bloodshot eyes, and the first words that came out of his mouth were:

"Did you stay up late last night?"

"Ah."

Lu Yao nodded, took the bag of dirty clothes, and said:
"I found a part-time job as a designated driver. I work at night and get home at almost five in the morning. But I make a lot of money. I still have one order that I haven't paid yet. If I pay, I will make nearly a thousand last night."

As he spoke, he had already walked to the small balcony of his home.

Throw all the dirty clothes and smelly socks into the washing machine.

"Dad, how long can you rest at home this time?"

After hearing this, Lu Yuanshan shook his head slightly:

"Just rest for one night. I have a job to do in the northwest. It's urgent."

"..."

Lu Yao was speechless, obviously he was used to it.

"Lao Lu, go take a shower."

Hearing his wife's words, Lu Yuanshan nodded and continued to look at his son:

"Okay... When will the college entrance examination scores be estimated?"

"You will start estimating your scores on the 13th, and the results will be released on the 23rd, so you can fill in your application."

Lu Yao replied.

"Where are you going to report?"

As Lu Yuanshan spoke, Lu Yao had already picked up a large glass that had been washed clean and placed upside down on the tray on the dining table.

After taking down a tea box from the shelf beside him, he continued:

“University of Electronic Science and Technology of China.”

This is Lu Yao’s old school in his previous life.

As he spoke, he made a cup of hot tea for his father and brought it to him.

Then he reached into his pocket again and took out the box of Liqun cigarettes he bought last night.

"..."

Seeing that several cigarettes had already been smoked, Lao Lu subconsciously glanced at his son.

"Dad, smoke."

"……Um."

Although his movements froze for a moment, Lao Lu didn't say much and took the cigarette handed to him by his son.

The next second, the lighter was handed to his mouth.

Lao Lu looked at his son again, said nothing, and let Lu Yao help him light it.

The father and son completed an unspoken exchange of understanding.

"Sigh~~"

After taking a deep breath, he continued to ask:
“Is that university good?”

"985. The country's leading electronic university, no worse than Qinghua and Fuhua."

"…Then why not choose Fuhua?" (Note 1)

The couple are actually quite confident about their son's situation.

But Lu Yao has been good at studying since he was young.

He never ranked lower than the top 5 in his high school grade during his three years of high school. As soon as the college entrance examination was over, Lao Lu called his son. He felt relieved when he heard his son's calm and emotionless words, "You did well in the exam. The questions were quite simple. I checked them three times, so there should be no problem."

So, others may ask "how many points can you get", but as for Lao Lu, he has already begun to provide advice "as much as possible" for his son's school choice.

As for why he didn't ask about Tsinghua University and Peking University... To be honest, Lu Yuanshan really wanted his son to get in, after all, Lu Yao was a very good student. But when he saw his son asking for the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China and Fuhua University, but not even Tsinghua University and Peking University, he couldn't say anything.

I don’t want to put too much pressure on my child.

Lu Yao also lit a cigarette for himself, and then said calmly under Lao Lu's strange gaze:
"Fuhua doesn't seem to be a good fit. If I go to the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, I can apply for a scholarship after I enroll. At the same time, the scholarship for the chip research major is supported by the state, and even includes part of the 550 yuan monthly living expenses. In addition, the consumption level in Sichuan and Chongqing is relatively low, so I don't have to add any heavy burden to my family."

Lao Lu frowned:
"Don't worry about that. It's not like I can't make money. Just pick the best school and don't worry about scholarships."

"Then I also want to go to the University of Electronic Science and Technology. I don't really like the atmosphere at Fuhua..."

Recalling his experience as a graduate student and doctoral student in his previous life, Lu Yao shook his head:
"The chip industry is a weak point in our country. We are a little behind, so it is easy for us to be strangled in the future. The business atmosphere here at Fuhua is too strong, and those companies like to poach talents. I don't want to be too commercial. The academic atmosphere at the University of Electronic Science and Technology is relatively strong, and there are more people who do research in a down-to-earth manner. My plan is to enter the research institute in the third year of university, and then... strive for..."

Having said this, he paused.

His tone suddenly became firm:
"Get our "core"!"

"..."

Looking at his son, who was holding the cigarette butt tightly and speaking in a resounding tone, Lao Lu was stunned...

But in the next second, he laughed out loud:

"Haha, good, good, my son is determined to serve the country. Great! Then let's go to University of Electronic Science and Technology... It's not worse than Fuhua, right? I thought it would be better for you to stay closer to home so that you can take care of me."

"Uh……"

Lu Yao hesitated for a moment and shook his head:
"Not bad."

In fact, there is still some gap.

This is the truth.

Not to mention other things, just talking about the cutting-edge equipment in the laboratories, the University of Electronic Science and Technology is still slightly inferior to the well-funded Fuhua.

But it's okay.

He has many years of experience in chip development that far exceeds that of ordinary people. His predecessors have helped them, the newcomers, to create "0" from "1", from nothing, to something.

As latecomers, we should carry on the aspirations of our predecessors and go further.

If there are difficulties, go ahead.

There are no difficulties, even if they create difficulties!

A country cannot be without a core.

This is a researcher who has sworn an oath under the flag, for the sake of the country's destiny...

The responsibility you should have!
For those who are reborn, it doesn’t matter whether they do it or not.

However, as a descendant of Yan and Huang...

We should constantly strive for self-improvement!
(Note 1: Actually, I learned when I was looking up information that in terms of electronic engineering, Tsinghua University is the best, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China is second, and Fuhua University is not ranked high, barely in the top ten. But this is for the needs of the plot, so don't take it too seriously.)
　Actually, I have a lot to say, but after thinking about it, I can’t finish it at once.

　　In short, don't worry about the text.

　　You know, I don’t like to write repetitive plots. Even though I have written so many entertainment articles, I will try my best not to touch on the movies and the like written in the previous book in the “next book”.

　　The plot of this book is also quite new, as if no one had written about the Olympics before me.

　　The label at the bottom of the introduction is definitely not a spoof, just read it.

　　Love you guys.
