Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

On the second day of Christmas, it snowed rarely in Jinling City.

Though nothing to look forward to, since Santa was reminiscent of from Christmas, the Ark remembered the fireplace of its previous house in Princeton, and whenever it snowed heavily in New Jersey, he moved his place of work from the study to the living room, sitting on the carpet behind the sofa in front of the fireplace, letting his thoughts fly through the endless universe and the search for truth.

Though far from the age at which nostalgia begins.

But looking out the window at the snowflake, the ark did miss something.

Sitting in the living room, dipped in a soup bag with chopsticks and a dish of vinegar dipped in ginger silk, he stuffed it in his mouth and looked at the silver white hanging from the short pine tree outside the window, suddenly he said without a sign.

“I intend to install a fireplace at home. ”

Standing in the living room, Wang Peng looked around and thought and asked.

“Insufficient heating? ”

The ark looked at him strangely: “You think strangely, why must it be cold to install the fireplace? ”

Wang Peng gave a helpless expression. “I was just asking... is there anything I can do for you? ”

The ark shouted, “No need, unless you told me you were going to build a wall. ”

Though it was just a joke, I didn't expect Wang Peng to be serious. After a while of serious reflection, a serious answer was given.

“There are experts on the subject. ”

Ark: “… Are you Tinker Bell? ”

There's everything.

Wang Peng: “…? ”

Ultimately, about the fireplace, the ark was still a trouble-free person, but contacted the renovation design company that had renovated the Jinling Institute of Higher Studies to help them complete everything from design to installation.

After all, there is really no need to use national resources for this little thing.

Two things that the Ark particularly dislikes, one is trouble and the other is doing something big for a small thing.

At work, apart from being relatively smart and handsome, he never thought he was different from others and needed such excessive special attention.

If someone else could treat him like an ordinary person, he would feel more relaxed.

And maybe that's one of the reasons he's single so far.

After receiving the call from the Ark, the decoration company could say that it took a lot of weight.

Although the district is a fireplace relative to millions of large projects and is nothing more than a small business, the renovation design company has demonstrated the highest level of professionalism and attitude, sending designers and project teams to the ship's home almost the same day, and sending several alternative design drawings and quotes to the ship before that evening.

These include Victorian and modern minimalist styles, as well as classical styles made of relatively vintage red bricks, all of which are designed according to the decorative layout of the living room itself, and even include a set of handmade wool carpets for each design.

Looking at the design schemes that made people not even want to cut the price, the Ark even suspected that doing his business alone would not make them money, and that they might have to pay for it.

Although there was no reason to ask for an increase in price from the standpoint of a consumer, looking at the offer of less than 5,000 carpets, the ark at this point of conscience was finally unable to hold its mouth.

“Is it really okay to be so cheap? ”

The saleswoman, who was in charge of negotiating with the Ark, said politely and enthusiastically to the Ark with a smile on her face that met the expectations of society.

“No problem, you can rest assured that you are an important partner of our company and of course we will not pit you. Bringing the best quality service to our customers at the lowest price has always been our business philosophy, and the product's value for money is one of our company's most core competitiveness, and I'm sure you'll feel this soon. ”

Looking a little headached at the offer and offer under the design scheme, the ark pinched its eyebrows and asked: “I may be a little too good in math... what the hell is this 3588 renovation package that gives 20,000 dollar handmade silk wool carpets and 5888 wall accessories? ”

The saleswoman smiled and said, "This is our discount. ”

Ark: “…”

What kind of deal is this Nima?

However, people want to buy and sell the cost, and the ark is not easy to stop. After a while of hesitation, which design plan is my favorite.

“… that's good. ”

After confirming the design plan chosen by the Ark, the saleswoman ticked the bottom of the picture with a pen, then looked politely at the Ark and continued.

“Okay, we'll get you ready in the shortest possible time, when will it be easier for you to see? ”

“I can do anything, the construction schedule is just in the afternoon...” He said the landing boat looked at Wang Peng standing next to the couch, "Do you have a few afternoons? ”

Wang Peng's answer was as reliable as ever.

“I have 24 hours a day. ”

The ark nodded and continued to look at the saleswoman.

“Then every afternoon between 2: 00 and 6: 00 is fine… how long will it take to get it ready? ”

Miss Salesman gave a number with a smile.

“Three days at the latest. ”

In fact, the Ark did not wait until the third day, starting the day after the signing of the contract, before the evening of the third day, the entire fireplace had been installed.

Yuan declined the offer of the saleswoman to lay the floor heating pipe free of charge, paid $4,000 for the canoe, politely sent the renovation company people outside the courtyard, couldn't wait to return to the house to fill in the smokeless charcoal bought from the sea, ignited the fire of the bear furnace.

Sitting on the wool carpet against the sofa, listening to the occasional crackling of the furnace fire, feeling the warm light, the ark lazily beat a debt, feeling like it was going to fall asleep at any moment.

“Comfortable…”

A relaxed waist was stretched, and the phone rang just as he was about to take a nap.

When you see the name in the caller display, the ark immediately presses the on button and holds the phone to your ear.

Without even waiting for him to speak, the familiar voice came from the phone.

“Boat, are you busy this year? ”

“It's okay, it's not as busy as last year," he said with a relaxed smile on his face, the bow's throat slightly twitched, and after a half-second pause, "Mom, you and Dad are at Jiangling's. How are you? ”

When I heard this "Mom," the plum across the phone, the fishtail pattern at the corner of my eye blossomed, smiling with relief.

“Don't worry about your parents, we're fine. Your father will be retiring in a few years. Now he has nothing to do in the office all day. He drinks tea every day to read the newspaper. If I hadn't rushed him to run and exercise every day, I might as well be happy now. I'm just calling to hear your voice. Am I interrupting your work? ”

The Ark laughed and said, "How can that be? Work doesn't matter to you. ”

Fang Mei counted down a sentence: “Don't say that, you are now in the upswing of your career, don't focus on me and your father, our body doesn't need children to worry about. But I hope you're busy, but don't get too tired of yourself. Your body will always be first. No matter how important things are, your body doesn't matter... Right, are you busy around the end of the year? If you're busy, I'll come and take care of you with your dad. ”

“No, no, please don't do this. I'm not busy!” As soon as I heard the old lady's intention to come and take care of herself, I didn't want to cause them any trouble. "This year was just in time for the end of the year. It's rare that nothing happened. I'd better come back for New Year's. ”

Fang Mei sighed and said: "Your child is just too kind. ”

The Ark couldn't help but laugh.

“Mom, what are you saying... what are you guys doing here? It's just that I haven't been home in so many years, I kind of miss home. Anyway, don't buy tickets. I'll drive back this year. ”

While research is important, it cannot be more important than family.

Not to mention, Lehman did not think that the study could be done overnight. He had just solved Zhen Lehman's conundrum of the century, and he needed a little time to relax, sort out his mind, and change his mind.

Of course, the most important thing is that parents are getting older, and if there is time, the Ark certainly wants to be reunited from its own side.

As for the work of the Moon Orbit Construction Committee, everything was proceeding as planned and nothing special was needed from his General Counsellor.

If there was a need to adjust the plan, or if something unexpected happened, he would naturally let go of what was at hand and return to the front lines of the Scientific Front to carry out his duties.

To make sure that there is no embarrassment in the ark's voice, Fang Mei revealed a relaxed smile.

If she could, of course, she would still like her son to come home for New Year's. Although my son has developed well in Jinling and has lived in a big house in a big city, for them who have lived in Jiangling all their lives, this is their root, their family and friends are here, and this is the only real life.

It is precisely for this reason that even though the Ark has repeatedly mentioned the move to Jinling, they have never said yes.

“Come back and eat dumplings, and don't be too busy all day... hey, I used to let you study well, also because you have a better future, how come your father and I didn't expect this to happen. Mathematical matters can't help you either, I just hope you don't spend all day in the lab eating out at the beginning, and have more time to go out and get in touch with other people. ”

The ark coughed softly and said: “I need to correct it, and you don't believe in what's in the documentary. Now, whether you're studying math or physics, you need to get in touch with people..."

The closed-door car set has only worked in the past.

Now, even if it were an ark, to build a car with closed doors, it would not be possible to completely cut off contact with the outside world, at least ARXIV and a few commonly used literature databases, which must still be available.

Fang Mei: “Whatever it takes, you can live happily yourself. Your father and I are at this age, and there is nothing to expect but to hold on to your grandson sooner. ”

"“ Let's talk about this later, "said Ark Zhou.“ There will be. ”

Seems to laugh with little expectation, Fang Mei said it as if he was comforting the ark, and as if he was comforting himself.

“I hope so…”

Ark: “…”

Although I know that I don't want to put too much pressure on myself, I don't know why, hearing this "I hope so” makes him feel so fucking heartbroken...
