Math professor returns to routine

Chapter 246
On the fifth day of the first lunar month, in the early morning, a dazzling golden edge appeared in the distant sky.

In the dim Lu family mansion, a chubby beige kitten, with green eyes, silently climbed up the stairs and stopped in front of a closed door.

Xiao Bao raised his head, contracted the muscles of his hind legs a little bit, twisted his buttocks left and right a few times, assumed a surprise posture, aimed at the door handle above, and found the right moment, and shot out fiercely.Stretching out its front paws in mid-air, with the help of its own gravitational potential energy, it successfully opened the door.

Xiao Bao, who fell back to the ground, gracefully licked the hair on his paws, and then used the solid-liquid duality of a kitten to sneak in through the half-open door.

"Meow~meow~"

Xiao Bao yelled at the big bed twice symbolically, but seeing no response, he jumped onto the bedside table again, crawled along the upper edge of the headboard to the middle position, and then jumped.

"Uh-cough cough!"

Lu You, who was sleeping, had no idea what happened, and was directly dizzy from the deep-sea bomb.

"nm!"

Lu You clutched his aching chest, struggled to sit up, glared at Xiao Bao who was still pretending to be innocent.

If it weren't for the fluffy silk quilt covered on his body, Lu You felt that he might have started a second rebirth and went to the Douqi Continent to stage "30 Years of Hedong, 30 Years of Hexi".

"You bastard! Do you want to kill the master!"

Xiao Bao didn't have the slightest fear, instead he squatted down on his own, lowering his head to comb the slightly messy hair on his chest.

"Damn! It's too arrogant! If you don't give me some flair, you don't even know who is the master!"

Lu You stretched out his right hand fiercely, grabbed Xiao Bao's cat head, pressed it on the quilt, patted his fat body with his left hand, and shouted in his mouth: "I usually treat you well, just because of your cuteness. Come on, do you really think you are qualified to sit on my head and shit? Are you convinced? Are you convinced? Are you convinced!"

Naturally, the little cat refused to accept it, and immediately twisted its body to break away from Lu You's clutches, hugged his arm with its backhand, bit his finger with its mouth open, and used a shadowless kick, kicking its legs non-stop.

One person and one cat fought for ten minutes, until the night outside changed to blue sky, and it gradually subsided.

"Okay, I won't play with you anymore."

Lu You put Xiaobao on the ground, patted the back of its head, and said, "Don't disturb my sleep in the future, or I won't give you food."

After calming down the kitten, after washing up and changing into sports clothes, Lu You left the room, went to the open space outside the house, and took a deep breath of fresh air.

"Ah~ the air in the countryside is still good, fresh and sweet, with a strange luxury!"

"Speaking so well, how many times do you usually come back after seeing you?"

The sudden sound startled Lu You.He immediately turned his head and saw his great-grandfather in a wheelchair being slowly pushed out of the house by a servant.

Lu You put away his casual attitude and said politely, "Good morning, great grandfather."

"Ah."

The great-grandfather waved to the servant behind him and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you in the morning, you can do your business first."

"Okay, sir."

The servant bent down respectfully, and silently stepped aside.

"Dabao, push me outside for a walk."

"Yes, great grandfather."

Lu You ran behind his great-grandfather and pushed the wheelchair to the manor outside, while the servant followed behind him in awe.

Lu You looked at the blanket covering his great-grandfather's legs, and asked, "Grandpa, you have been in a wheelchair for more than half a year, are you still in good health?"

In mid-August last year, my great-grandfather accidentally fell while taking a shower.If it is a young person with strong resilience, it will hurt for a few days after a fall.But the great-grandfather is approaching his age, and a small bump could lead to serious consequences.

Lu Buyu immediately sent his great-grandfather to the hospital for examination. Although no major problems were found, since then, his mental state has declined rapidly, and various physical problems have appeared, and he will soon be unable to go to the ground. walked.

Great-grandfather tried to clench his fist, but no matter how the brain signaled, his fingers were like a computer disconnected from the network, without any response.

The great-grandfather didn't continue to try, but smiled and said openly: "It's like this. When people get old, their physical functions will also degenerate. If you want to restore your previous spirit, I'm afraid it won't be possible."

"You can't say that. I read the news that some people can live to be more than 120 years old. Where are you?"

"You don't need to comfort me, I know my body well."

The great-grandfather leaned on the back of the chair, had a panoramic view of the entire green manor, and said lightly: "I have lived for nearly 100 years, and I have tasted all the flavors of life. I have experienced the most difficult period, and I also enjoy it. Live the luxury of the new era, experience the happiness of being in love with others, and also bear the pain of leaving a loved one.

I am already tired of this world, and there is nothing worthy of my nostalgia.One day in the future, I will just leave, and I hope you will not take any rescue measures.

I don't want to see my body full of instruments and tubes, and I don't want to waste public resources just to survive.There will always be an end in life. On the day I leave, you just need to bid farewell and let me go on the road with peace of mind. "

Lu You had a lot of words stuck in his heart, but he didn't know how to speak.In the past, he was able to tell Tang Wan, Li Yu and others a lot of great truths, all based on his life experience in two lifetimes.

But the old man in front of him has experienced far more things than Lu You, and even talking about the truth with him seems to be playing tricks in front of Guan Gong.

Seeing that Lu You didn't speak, great-grandfather comforted him: "Birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature, so you don't have to be too sad."

sad?
I can only say a little, not too much.

In Lu You's eyes, great-grandfather is more of a symbol of an elder, and his feelings are mostly respect, and there is almost no bond between relatives.

Although he and his great-grandfather are related by blood, but they spend too little time together. Even his biological parents, if they don't spend time cultivating their relationship with each other, they are just familiar strangers.

Moreover, there were several generations between the two, and the blood relationship was so thin that it could be ignored.

"Uh... Grandpa, you think too much. To be honest, I'm not particularly sad."

"You boy!"

The great-grandfather was laughed at by him. If it wasn't for his poor health, he would definitely get up and give Lu You two punches.

"Forget it, I won't argue with you for the sake of Chinese New Year."

"Thank you, grandpa, for letting me go."

During the conversation, the two came to a vegetable field in the manor.Several rows of unknown green seedlings were neatly planted on the dim yellow land, and there was a man-made cement ditch beside it.

"Your family, are you going back tomorrow?"

"Well, leave early tomorrow."

"Just right."

The great-grandfather raised his right hand tremblingly, pointed to the field below, and said, "The vegetables in the field below are all grown by your grandpa and grandma. They are pure green and free of pesticides. Pick what you want to eat by yourself."

"Then I'm welcome."

Lu You rolled up his sleeves and walked into the field.When he was halfway there, a taste that hit the depths of his soul hit his face, making him stop abruptly.

This smell is like throwing the reincarnation of human beings into a sealed jar, fermenting it for seven to 49 days, and then taking it out, the smell is so fuzzy that Lu You can't even open his eyes.

Adhering to the excellent quality of being able to bend and stretch, Lu You returned to his great-grandfather very wisely, and said solemnly: "These dishes are all the painstaking efforts of grandpa, so I won't take them, and leave them for you to eat."

The great-grandfather saw through his little thoughts at a glance, and said, "Don't pretend, it's just that it smells bad. I'll get someone to pick a bag for you later."

"Thank you, grandpa, for understanding."

"Really, if you want to eat good food, but don't want to pay the price, you will take all the benefits."

Lu You shrugged, and said without changing his face: "It is the instinct of living beings to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. I just obey my instinct."

"False! The reason why human beings are human is because compared with other creatures, human beings can think and have the ability to know themselves, and they will not completely obey instincts and desires."

"Well, you're old, and you're right."

"You little brat!"

Great-grandfather felt as if he had punched cotton, and he couldn't exert enough strength.No matter how much you talk, people will not accept your logic at all, and there is no difference between what you say and what you say.

Seeing that his great-grandfather was about to jump up from the wheelchair and hit him, Lu You hurriedly said, "Grandpa, it's time for breakfast, let's go back!"

After speaking, Lu You didn't give his great-grandfather time to react, and pushed the wheelchair back the same way.

Interrupted by Lu You, great-grandfather didn't bother to argue with him, and instead asked, "Which major are you going to choose in college, and what job will you do after graduation?"

"I majored in Mathematics and Applied Mathematics at Capital University, all the way to my doctoral degree, and engaged in research in basic disciplines."

"Do you plan to go abroad?"

Lu You pondered for a while, and said truthfully: "Yes. After finishing four years of undergraduate studies, I will consider going abroad for further study."

"Which country do you want to go to?"

"It's still under consideration, either France or America."

"It's good to have a goal. If you need help from your family, just ask."

This answer surprised Lu You deeply.After all, great-grandfather was a person who experienced that era. It stands to reason that he would not have a good impression of these countries, and he was ready to be rejected.

Great-grandfather didn't need to turn his head, but he could roughly imagine Lu You's expression at this time.

"Why, you didn't expect me to agree, did you?"

"It's a surprise. Under normal circumstances, shouldn't you tell me to stay in the country and serve the country?"

"It's not like you won't come back after you went out. It's like the national meritorious service in that era. Didn't several of them practice their skills and then return to China to serve? The essence of studying abroad is to pursue knowledge, and it has nothing to do with the level of patriotism.

But after you go out, you can’t even go with your own heart.You have to always remember where your roots are.Although there are bad things about home, it is still your home. Don't forget your origins when you go outside to see some novelty gadgets.

Just like the so-and-so a few years ago, when I went out to take a few breaths of air, I felt that I had evolved and began to belittle the country.You yourself are out of here, and belittling your own country is essentially belittling yourself. "

Lu You naturally understands this truth, similar to a son scolding his father as a tortoise, and becoming a tortoise himself.

"Grandpa, don't worry, my idol is Mr. Qiu. So, I will definitely come back."

"I won't say much, you decide your own future. If you encounter troubles in academics, just tell your family, maybe they can't help you, but there must be someone you know who can help you."

Thinking of the difficult academic research career in the previous life, Lu You burst into tears.

[Is this the big family!How domineering!Love love love! 】

"However, you can't take the initiative to bully others by relying on others' power. Our Lu family is your backing, not your umbrella. Human relations cannot be abused."

"I know, great grandfather."
