Chapter 118 117. Changes in the Li Dao Sutra
"Xinxin, your parents will support you in choosing which school to attend, as long as you like it." Father Liu spoke carefully, slowly and softly, while looking at the expression on Liu Xinxin's face.
Seeing that my daughter's expression was normal, I quickly asked, "Xinxin, why do you suddenly want to take the Shuimu exam? Isn't Weiming good enough?"
As the words came out of his mouth, he was thinking about it three times and had already prepared the words to smooth things over.
Unexpectedly, when Liu Xinxin heard Weiming, she said righteously: "Weiming is not good, Weiming is my lifelong enemy. I want to be a Shuimu person in life and leave a Shuimu soul in death. The name of Wudaokou Vocational and Technical School will be engraved on my tombstone after I die. This is my monument."
These words almost made Mr. Liu’s CPU burn out. Is this still his well-behaved, cute and quiet little girl? What’s the point of talking about life and death? Was she upset at school?
When he thought of this possibility, Father Liu immediately became anxious and his tone became serious, "Xinxin, did anything happen at school today?"
Liu Xinxin was still in an excited state. She sat on the sofa, looking around and feeling uncomfortable. She didn't realize that her father's tone had become heavier.
But it doesn’t matter.
Liu Xinxin took the schoolbag, opened it, and solemnly took out a letter from it.
When Mr. Liu saw the letter, his heart skipped a beat. He thought it was a love letter.
Just called out: "Daughter..."
Liu Xinxin boasted at the same time, "A scientist from the Academy of Sciences wrote to me."
Gah! Father Liu made a sharp turn and said, "My daughter, you are awesome!"
After taking the letter, Mr. Liu opened it and took a look at it, then immediately put the paper down and wiped his hands.
He thought he had heard it wrongly, but it turned out to be a letter from the Academy of Sciences.
I saw it written above.
"Hello, classmate Liu, I am writing these words with the audacity of my position. I am Fu Boxuan, a researcher at the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. I heard that you will take the college entrance examination this year, which reminded me of my college entrance examination. I remember it was in 1994..."
This letter is very long and contains words of encouragement and inspiration.
It depicts the university life and studies in Shuimu, the professors' qualifications, the experimental equipment, the interesting things in life, the grudges and hatreds with Weiming, as well as the efforts in participating in international competitions during college and the glory after winning.
He also talked about his research days at the Academy of Sciences, the topics he chose, the authority of his supervisor, the setbacks and perseverance in research, the joy after publishing his papers, and so on.
Finally, at the end of the letter, I left a message saying, "Do well in the exam. I'll be waiting for you at the Chinese Academy of Sciences."
It was obvious that my daughter was upset after reading this letter.
There is encouragement, personal experience, contribution, honor, pride, unbridled youth, working hard when you should, and giving your all.
How can high school students stand this?
No wonder he was immediately bewitched by Shuimu and was yearning for the Academy of Sciences.
Not to mention high school students, even Liu's father felt envious after watching it. He wanted to work together with a group of highly educated and intelligent peers for the country's scientific research, and finally gain honor and status.
It’s beautiful just thinking about it.
Liu Xinxin kept staring at his father. After he finished reading the letter, he immediately pulled his mother out of the kitchen.
"I'm heating up some food for you. What's the hurry?"
"I'm not hungry, I'm in a hurry, really in a hurry."
It was indeed urgent. When Aunt Liu came out, she was still holding a spatula in her hand.
Father Liu also chimed in, "There's no rush to eat. Our girl is definitely not in the mood right now. Take a look at this first."
After sitting down and reading the letter, Mother Liu felt a little dizzy, a dizziness from happiness.
"So, Xinxin, have you decided to take the entrance exam to Shuimu University and then enter the Academy of Sciences?"
"Yes! It's decided." Liu Xinxin said solemnly and confidently, "I will definitely pass the exam."
"Oh my baby." Mother Liu hugged her daughter and kissed her non-stop.
However, Liu's father was able to suppress his excitement and tried to relieve his daughter's pressure in a calm tone: "Just do your best in the exam, don't feel stressed, no matter how you do in the exam, you are still your parents' baby."
He still remembered his daughter's haggard face when she couldn't eat due to stress.
But it will soon be out of control.
Shuimu, the Academy of Sciences, the top one in the country, the best.
If I really get into the Academy of Sciences, I can stay there after graduation and become a scientist...
Smoke is coming out of the ancestral grave.
The most important thing is that his daughter has good grades and has every chance of taking this path.
At this time, who would consider that it is difficult for a woman to get married because she has too high an education, or that the salary for scientific research may not be high, or how can one take care of children if one is too busy at work, and so on.
These things are nothing compared to those who can become scientists.
The couple was even more excited than Liu Xinxin just now, laughing and hugging each other and talking non-stop. It took them a long time to calm down.
We also "watched" rice cakes and rice dumplings together.
Liu's father and mother then asked, "Why did the Academy of Sciences send these?"
"Do you remember the uncle who delivered vegetables in our senior year? His girlfriend is a scientist at the Academy of Sciences, and she helped our school make the connection."
"Ok?"
The two adults both showed puzzled expressions.
The vegetable seller and his friends knew that Liu Xinxin's loss of appetite due to stress was cured by eating the vegetables he sent her. She had mentioned this several times.
But according to common sense, there is not a strong correlation between the three words: vegetable seller, girlfriend, and scientist.
"What do you mean by that?" Liu Xinxin was unhappy and spoke up for the vegetable seller. "Don't underestimate the vegetable seller. He is a top student from Shanghai Jiaotong University. He gave up his high salary to start a business in his hometown for his girlfriend and provides logistics support for her."
"So powerful?" Father Liu asked in amazement. He still found it a little unconvincing.
"Of course, Grandpa Wang said that the vegetable seller is not just farming, he is doing research for the Academy of Agricultural Sciences." At this point, he leaned forward and whispered a little secret in a low voice, "Eighty percent of the time, the vegetable seller's products are specially supplied to the Academy of Sciences. Our teacher Xiao Zhang knows him, so he is willing to sell some to our school."
As he spoke, he pinched his fingers and gestured, and it was really just a little.
This proves that good students also gossip.
"So amazing!" Dad Liu exclaimed again.
But Liu Ma suddenly discovered the point: "Little greedy cat, you want to take the exam for the Academy of Sciences, so you want to go out for dinner, right?"
"What? You're so vulgar. I'm not going to talk to you anymore!" Liu Xinxin was furious...
After feeding the children a late dinner, I finished washing up.
Father Liu held the letter and said casually, "Xinxin, I'll take this letter to work tomorrow and give you a plastic cover to prevent it from getting dirty."
Liu Xinxin hummed in agreement, but her mother stared at her father, "There's a plastic wrapping shop downstairs from our house. I think you just want to show it off."
Why is she so sure? Because she also wants to show it off at work...
-
Similar things happened in hundreds of homes that evening.
No matter whether you are a good student or a poor student; no matter whether you take it seriously or not.
Either more or less.
Everyone was touched and encouraged.
It was the same night.
Luo Yihang had already fallen asleep.
Suddenly, my mind was filled with thoughts and I couldn't bear it anymore.
He jumped up, climbed over the wall and headed straight for the Poria cocos forest on the mountain.
He sat down under the spirit gathering formation and concentrated on practicing his skills.
The spiritual energy that had accumulated on the mountain for many days was absorbed into Luo Yihang's body and circulated throughout his body.
Collect a part, consume a part, and then release a part.
And then be absorbed.
so cycle.
Until the sky turns white.
The spiritual energy stored in Zhuling Forest, a big power bank, has been completely sucked away. The next time it is used, we can only wait for the spirit gathering array to operate and gather the spiritual energy from afar again.
The throbbing in Luo Yihang's heart finally subsided, but when he looked inward, he found that his third-level Qi training state had actually loosened.
It has clearly not yet reached the minimum standard for a cultivation environment, but there have indeed been changes.
And the throbbing sensation last night… was the Book of Rites.
Could it be that this technique can do more than just add buffs?
I have updated five times a day in the four days since it was put online, and my stock of manuscripts has been exhausted.
Starting tomorrow, I plan to update twice during the day, with 3,000 words each time.
So, there is no wood at 0 o'clock in the evening, so you don't have to stay up late.
The subscriptions after midnight seem a bit scary. Many friends haven’t gone to bed yet at two or three o’clock. This is not good. Staying up late is harmful to your health.
