1979 The Life of Idle Fish

Chapter 594 Little October is a future scientist
After Bailu, the weather in the capital became slightly cooler.

The most obvious thing is that there are a lot less gangsters at the entrance of the alley. Now each of them is willing to wear a white, no, it should be called a flesh-colored vest.

Because this vest is older, the original white color has been changed to flesh color, and it is also wrinkled.

However, this is a very rare phenomenon. Most men are very particular about their clothes. These people are basically young, in their early fifties and below sixty.

Men of this age group still care about dressing up.Not only do you wear a suit and tie when you go out, you also look upright and look energetic.

It is said that this woman loves beauty, but actually men love beauty even more.

During the two Jin Dynasties, it was a small peak period for men to love beauty and enjoy it. They were not enterprising all day long, and all of them painted their eyebrows, had fancy cars and BMWs, and looked like noble ladies from Qingdao.

Eat five stones and scatter them, wander among the flowers day and night,...

They are so ugly and still have a lot of fan circle support, this may be the saddest of that era.

The man wore red makeup, and in the past 50 years, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains have been turned into dirt.

........................................................................

Baihua courtyard in the afternoon.

"You go alone today, what does our father say?"

Although the old man said that he will officially retire next year, the school also considered the actual situation and went through the retirement procedures for the old man half a year in advance.

After school started, I heard from my mother-in-law that the old man would sometimes go to school unconsciously. Halfway through, he remembered that he had retired.

After the couple heard about this, they both felt that they should take the two elders over to live at this time.

Give them a happy old age, instead of giving them a lonely old age with no worries about food and clothing.

The two of them also knew the old man's temper. He looked easy-going and elegant, but in fact he had a stubborn temper, which was a good thing.

If you want to do this smoothly, you don't have to rush everything and you have to take your time.

Based on this, Zhu Lin took the little girl to the front line today. His daughter and granddaughter would be more persuasive than his son-in-law.

Just as Zhu Lin took the little girl in, Luo Tao heard a noise in the study and hurried out to greet her.

As soon as they met, he took the bag in her hand and asked.

This question made her calm face look more helpless.

"It's a bad start."

Luo Tao couldn't figure out what she said with these four simple words. Although the meaning was straightforward and clear, it was too general.

After entering the room, Luo Tao hung up her bag, turned around and asked, "What's going on?"

Zhu Lin let the little girl play by herself, sat on a chair, and directed Luo Tao, "Pour me a glass of water first."

At this time, Luo Tao also thought she was too busy, so he walked directly in front of her, picked up the pot from the huanghuali table, lifted the rim of the cup and poured her a cup of warm tea.

Wait until she finishes drinking.

Only then did I hear her talk about the process of coming home today to have an interview with Father Zhu.

...After hearing the whole story, Luo Tao sat down on the chair, wondering if this wife's IQ had dropped.

Looking at her face to face, he showed a small expression of disgust, "I'm not telling you, you are really stupid, you know that the old man doesn't want to come and live with us, how can you still force yourself.

I can't change my mind...

The next best thing is to let them move to Mianmian Hutong! "

These words were a bit rough, but the truth was profound. Even when Zhu Lin was criticized, he still endured it for a while.

thinking……

"Who are you calling stupid...you are smart, you can persuade me tomorrow."

The beauty said something angrily, leaving a long and faint shadow in the hall.

"I'll go, I'll go." The words were strong, but the voice was not loud.

I don’t know if Zhu Lin heard it, but there was no reply.

This may be the invincible loneliness.

With no one else paying attention, he could only digest himself, pick up the second cup of tea that Zhu Lin had not finished just now, and drink it all in one gulp.

………………The dividing line of happiness

The next day, after Luo Tao dressed up neatly, he picked up two bottles of good wine and rode his bicycle to his father-in-law's house.

I passed the Red Star Delicatessen on the way and bought some cooked food, which I served as a snack for the two of them at noon.

This is also the reason why he knew in advance that the mother-in-law would not come home at noon today, otherwise Luo Tao would have been very emboldened, and he would not have dared to bring wine and vegetables to the old father-in-law for a drink so unscrupulously.

Arriving at No. [-] Courtyard of Jinyu Hutong, the car was tied up and locked firmly on the stone pillar on the left side of the gate. After confirming that the car had no safety hazards, he entered the hospital with wine and food.

Ever since he lost his beloved donkey when he visited the ghost market last time, Luo Tao didn't dare to leave it unlocked when he went out on his bike.

Although he is not short of these two dollars, he cannot afford to lose his feelings.

After walking a few steps in the door, I met Dr. Liu who lived in the front yard. This Dr. Liu was still well-known in Xingtan, the capital, and was better known than his mother-in-law.

"Hey, where is Mr. Luo today?" He pointed to the wine and dishes Luo Tao was carrying.

"Ouch! Doctor Liu, you have a rest today." Luo Tao reacted even more than he did.

"I'm taking a rest, what are you doing?" After answering Luo Tao's question, he brought the topic back to the food and drinks.

Luo Tao subconsciously lifted the food and drink in his hand, "Hey, isn't this my father-in-law's retirement? Come and see him today."

"Oh, you two should be filial. Yesterday, Zhu Lin came with the little girl, and today you brought wine and food... I just came back from Teacher Zhu's place, so why don't you go quickly, otherwise Teacher Zhu will start the cooking again? .”

"Oh, really? So what if you have nothing to do at noon? Let's have a drink together?"

Not to mention his superb medical skills in rejuvenating people, but based on his warm-heartedness, you still have to be polite when you see him.

We said it politely, it's his business whether he comes or not.

"Thank you, I've already made it at home,...I won't keep it at your house today, don't blame me."

"You're welcome, then you are busy..."

After saying a few polite words to him, Luo Tao continued walking into the courtyard carrying the food and wine.

Doctor Liu stood there and watched Luo Tao turn into the second hospital, with a smile on his face and whispered, "Such a good son-in-law is rare!"

The idea of ​​having a perfect son-in-law was the lament of other people. As a daughter-less doctor, Dr. Liu turned around and returned home.

After entering the Second Hospital, Luo Tao met a few more acquaintances, and he greeted them one by one and exchanged a few polite words with them.

After walking around the compound for a few minutes, I finally arrived at the small courtyard where the two elders lived.

He heard the sound of the chopping board. The sound was like a charge, burning with Luo Tao's passion. He didn't dare to neglect and quickly crossed the moon gate.

He shouted, "Dad!"

I told him that I would come early in the morning, but I forgot to tell the old man not to cook.

Father Zhu, who was busy in the kitchen, faintly heard someone calling him, put down the knife, and came out.

"Dad, what are you busy with in the kitchen? I heard a banging sound in the distance."

"Nothing. Hey! Why did you buy groceries? No..." Luo Tao said with a smile: "Don't make this meal today. I happened to pass by the Red Star Delicatessen when I came here and bought some. They are all dishes to go with wine. "

Be sure to bring it up.

The old man is actually a good drinker. As a man, apart from singing and being blocked in a small dark room, if you don't smoke or drink, what's the point of living?

Even if you get older and can quit smoking, you still need to have a few drinks.

The two men have been together for ten years. Not only are they as close as father and son, they are better than a normal son-in-law relationship.

The old man was delighted when he heard this and took the dishes directly. He looked at them dimly through the plastic bag and said, "They are really all dishes to go with wine."

After being unhappy for two seconds, the old man put on a straight face, "Tao'er, we only drink and don't talk about anything else today."

With Zhu Lin leading the way, how could the old man not guess the purpose of Luo Tao's visit today?

Looking at the serious old man, Luo Tao responded with a smile, "I'm just drinking today, nothing else."

Seeing Luo Tao's neat answer, the old man smiled helplessly. He knew that his son-in-law was not as smart as his confused daughter.

Having said that, it was impossible for him to drive Luo Tao out.

The two men tidied up the kitchen first, then set up a small table under the grape trellis in the small courtyard, moved two small mats, and sat facing each other.

Luo Tao first filled a cup for the old man.

This good wine needs to be sipped slowly, but not like a cow drinking water. It takes two or three gulps to swallow the wine. Once the wine enters the mouth, it has no other taste except spicy.

The old man sniffed it and thought for a while, "This wine is fragrant enough, is it 50 years old?"

Luo Tao filled a cup for himself, put down the wine, and quickly gave the old man a thumbs up, "Dad, you are amazing. This wine is 35 years old and is the best among Fenjiu wines."

The old man smiled proudly. He liked to drink a few cups when he had nothing to do, but he was by no means an alcoholic.

He doesn't know much about wine, and today he can tell the age by smelling it through his nose, thanks to the fact that he has drunk a lot of really good wine over the years.

This is just like learning to identify cultural relics. If you see more authentic products, you will naturally become an expert.

Before the old man could speak, Luo Tao raised his glass and touched it respectfully.

"Dad, I respect you."

"Hey!"

This small wine cup holds just enough for one sip, and it's all done in one sip.

Luo Tao drank it in one bite, while the old man took a slow and steady taste, enjoying the aftertaste first, and then finished it.

Shaking his head, "Not bad."

"Eat vegetables."

Grandpa drank three in a row.

Luo Tao saw that the atmosphere was about to get better. He held peanuts in his hands and laughed as he repeated the old man's words.

"Dad, what have you been busy with every day since you retired?"

The old man may also be happy because he drank good wine today, so his vigilance is not as high as when we met.

"Ahem, busy work."

Seeing that his answers were so flawless, Luo Tao did not continue the conversation, so he coaxed the old man to drink.

Then they chatted about unrelated things and drank a few more drinks. After doing this two or three times, the old man became more talkative.

"Tao'er, you don't know that I have been really uncomfortable since I retired. At first..." He seemed to have remembered something and smiled to himself.

"Ahem." The old man took a bite of the food.

"For several days in a row, I felt like I was suffering from hysteria. I ate breakfast as usual, carried my bag to school, and...only halfway through did I remember that I was retired."

Luo Tao listened quietly to the old man.

"... I should be confused if I say this, but I know what's going on in my heart, even if I know this leg, I can't help but want to go...

Fortunately, I have found something to do by myself these days..."

The two men touched another cup.

"Oh, are you planning to publish a book?"

The old man put down the chopsticks in his hand and said, "What kind of book should I publish? I am preparing a basic textbook for my grandson so that he can learn more when he is older."

Luo Tao was stunned when he said that, thinking, old man, you are too fierce!
You are a university professor. Although you are an associate professor, you are still at a height that others cannot reach in their lifetime.

Compiling teaching materials is a good thing, but your reason is too Versailles!

Little October is only in second grade now, so you compile basic college physics textbooks for him.

Luo Tao had to stop him and ask, "Dad, is this a little early?"

The old man said arrogantly: "It's not early, not early at all."

"Xiao Shiyue has already learned the knowledge of junior high school now... I think when he enters junior high school, he can read and get in touch with these textbooks, and when he enters high school, he can completely study university courses...

The little guy is a genius, you can't understand him with ordinary people's thinking... I am also teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, not trying to encourage others..."

Luo Tao was left speechless by the old man, so he drank a glass of wine by himself.

He hadn't persuaded the old man to leave, but the old man had kidnapped his son.

However, what the old man said makes sense. Little October is indeed a gifted child who cannot be understood and educated with ordinary people's thinking.

But the old man’s words felt wrong no matter how I heard them.

"Dad, I know what you mean, but you should also know what we both mean?"

"What do you two mean?"

Being pressed so hard by the old man, Luo Tao was speechless for a moment, unable to speak the words that came to his lips.

The old man snorted coldly and said, "Don't you just want Little October to take over the business? There's no other reason than this!"

Facing the domineering old man for the first time, Luo Tao was really awkward when speaking, but he still nodded despite the pressure.

The old man tapped the table with four fingers, "China can lose a few businessmen, but it cannot lack geniuses like Xiao October, because he is a future scientist."

In these two sentences, Luo Tao said yes repeatedly.

I wanted to refute, but the power didn't allow it.

"You're always right. I'm superficial. Our little October will definitely be a scientist in the future. You can't follow me and fall in the eyes of money."

There is nothing wrong with bowing your head in front of your father-in-law and being subdued.

As long as the old man is happy.

The old man appreciated Luo Tao's positive attitude of admitting his mistakes.

He has never looked down on Luo Tao, especially after little October showed his genius, the old man said several times that the Luo family has smart genes.

"You can't say that. Haven't you done a lot of good things in making money? I mean, if we have to choose between the two, we should be more clear-headed and not be blinded by the immediate benefits."
