The Xu Fu has left the Earth-Moon system, and with the expectations of hundreds of millions of Chinese sons and daughters, it has set off towards the desert tens of millions of kilometers away.

Just when the vision of the global aerospace industry was taken away by this majestic starship, a major event happened in the physics community.

With the successful convening of the IMR committee meeting and the election of the new chairman, Lu Zhou, the first chairman of the IMR, also stood on the podium of the conference hall as scheduled, and read out the resignation speech in front of the representatives of the committee members of various countries, the members of the board of directors and well-known experts in the physics field.

In his speech, Lu Zhou expressed an optimistic vision for the future of physics, believing that this discipline will be able to usher in unprecedented prosperity in the next 100 years, and radiate this prosperity to every corner of human society.

However, this optimism did not dilute the regret and reluctance that permeated the venue.

Although Lu Zhou has expressed his opinion more than once a long time ago that he will only serve as the chairman of the board of directors for one term, when the moment when he leaves office really comes, people can't help but fall into the memories of the past, and involuntarily flash in their minds one incredible miracle after another that he once led IMR to create.

Even Professor Whittle, who had been at odds with him throughout his tenure, could not help but feel sad in his heart for his departure.

Maybe people are like that.

It is only when we lose that we remember the beauty of what we had.

At this moment, Professor Whittle finally understood what his old friend had said, and what a blessing it was to have a wise leader to lead the way.

The way back, they had to go alone.

Almost everyone listened to his speech with a heavy heart, and gave a solemn and solemn applause at the end.

There was no joy in the applause, but it was a bit less like a resignation, more like the funeral of a big person.

“…… Please don't show such expressions, you will make me feel embarrassed. ”

Looking at the pairs of eyes in the audience with a smile and a smile, Lu Zhou felt that if this emotion was allowed to continue, it might not be a good thing for the successor Senior Brother Luo.

So he coughed lightly, briefly summarized and concluded his speech in two sentences, and then gave the microphone to Senior Brother Luo and walked off the stage quickly.

No matter how Alexander Comrade Luo Wenxuan, who took the microphone and stood on the stage, the moment he stepped off the podium, Lu Zhou really felt indescribably relaxed.

Although there are still many burdens on his shoulders, at least the heaviest one has come to an end.

With the final handover of the IMR's work, taking advantage of the rare leisure time when Xu Fu was still on the way to Mars, Lu Zhou was finally able to free up time to deal with some personal issues.

After leaving Shanghai, Lu Zhou did not return to Jinling, but first took Chen Yushan to his hometown Jiangling and told his parents about the decision of the two people.

To Lu Zhou's surprise, he originally thought that after hearing the news, his father and mother would at least express their surprise, even if they would not be surprised.

However, the reality was diametrically opposed to what he expected, and his father and mother not only did not feel any surprise, but even had some emotion on their faces.

Reading the doubts in her son's eyes, Fang Mei sighed softly.

"Actually, your father and I have already seen a little bit of it, hey...... It's just a bitter girl. As she spoke, she looked at Chen Yushan, who was shy, smiled kindly and continued, "Shanshan, when our family Lu Zhou was a child, he was more upright, he was straightforward in thinking about problems and doing things, and sometimes he didn't speak very well, but I can assure you that his heart is still very kind. In the future, I'll leave it to you. ”

As soon as he heard this, Lu Zhou was immediately unhappy.

"Mom, what are you talking about, Geng Zhi is upright, why can't I speak well."

Those who like to listen to his speech can line up from the mathematics academy of Jinling University to the space launch center, and this statement has no scientific basis at all.

Looking at her aunt with a kind smile on her face, Chen Yushan blushed and said, "It's okay...... Although he is a bit too upright at times, I still like him. ”

Lu Zhou: "......?" ”

"There is Xi Shi in the eyes of a lover, I understand, you don't have to explain it to me," Fang Mei said with a smile, "Your uncle and I also came from that age." ”

This time it was Lao Lu's turn to be unhappy, and then retorted.

"What do you mean by coming from that age, can I be the same as this kid? I was a "

"Okay, okay, you're a famous handsome young man in a radius of ten miles...... If you have this spare time, hurry up and go to the vegetable market to buy a fish for your son and daughter-in-law. Speaking of which, you're going to have a drink tonight, remember to buy two more catties of pig's trotters and ears when you come back, and I'll make some snacks later. ”

As soon as he heard this, Lao Lu was suddenly bought to be silent, and happily put on his shoes and went out to buy vegetables.

Chen Yushan's eyes rolled, and she stood next to Fang Mei with a smile, and took the initiative to propose.

"Auntie, I'll give you a hand."

"What to do, if you want to learn to talk to me with both hands, your aunt can handle it alone." Seeing that her future daughter-in-law was so virtuous, Fang Mei became more satisfied the more she looked at it, and her eyes narrowed with a smile.

"Mom, I'm here to help."

Seeing that everyone had something to do, Lu Zhou was embarrassed to be idle alone, so he also wanted to find something to do for himself, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was blocked by the old lady's words.

"If you squeeze three people in such a place, don't make a mess, just wait in the living room to eat!"

Looking at Lu Zhou, who was eating deflated in front of his mother, Chen Yushan couldn't help but feel a little funny, so she secretly stuck out her tongue at him and grimaced, and then triumphantly followed behind Fang Meidi and went into the kitchen......

……

That night, Lu Zhou's wife Fang Mei cooked a whole table of good dishes, and the family sat and ate together, and the atmosphere was lively as if it was the New Year.

It's rare to drink without being squeezed by his wife, Lao Lu took out the good wine he had treasured for a long time and put it on the table generously.

On weekdays, he is only willing to sip a small glass at a time, but this time it is as if he has gone out, pulling his son to drink cup after cup.

It is precisely because of this that he has not been drunk for many years, and today he is also rarely drunk.

“…… When you won the Fields Medal, your father and I were never drunk, and when we won the Nobel Prize, we were not drunk, and now it seems that we can't run away," holding the wine glass in his hand, Lao Lu sighed and sighed, "Your father is old." ”

"You're not sixty yet, how old are you?"

"More than fifty is not small...... I think you were so old that you couldn't reach the floor when you sat on a stool, and now you're taller than me. Two eyes stared at the ceiling, as if thinking of something funny, Lao Lu suddenly smirked, and said babblingly, "It's still interesting at that time, I still remember when I took advantage of your mother's inattention, secretly fed you a mouthful of white meat, and then watched you run around and run to the ground and punch drunk." ”

Lu Zhou: "......"

Is this a human thing?

If Dad didn't say it, he wouldn't know that he still had such a black history when he was a child.

"Poof......

I didn't expect my boyfriend to be so ...... In the lovely past, Chen Yushan's shoulders shook violently, probably because her stomach hurt from smiling, so she simply pretended to cough and buried her face under the table.

Fang Mei thought she was choking, patted her back with concern, and brought her a cup of hot water from the side.

"Eat slowly, don't choke."

"I didn't ...... I'm fine, auntie. ”

"I said it was okay, but I was coughing like that."

After drinking a glass of wine, Lu Bangguo stretched out his hand towards his wine jug, but he didn't touch the wine jug, but he touched the vegetable plate.

Snatching the plate from his father's hand, Lu Zhou sighed and said.

"Dad, you've drunk too much, so let's take it easy."

"Less, it's just a few glasses."

“…… I counted correctly, it was the seventeenth cup. ”

"What? It's only seven cups, and it doesn't add up to two pounds, so it's too early to get your dad drunk...... But you kid has drunk the first few glasses, and you can still calculate it so clearly, it's worthy of doing math. ”

Lu Zhou smiled helplessly, and didn't say anything.

It's not that he's bragging, and although he doesn't have any special penchant for wine, he's always had a good amount of alcohol.

On the one hand, it is naturally genetic, and on the other hand, I am afraid that it is because the system has helped him strengthen his metabolic function. Sometimes when he drinks too much, he does feel dizzy like a normal person, but as long as he runs to the toilet to put some water, he is basically the same as a person who is fine.

"Do you know what your dad is happiest?"

Holding the kettle and filling Daddy's cup with a glass of warm water, Lu Zhou replied.

“…… I finally fulfilled your old man's wish and married a daughter-in-law back? ”

"You're wrong, son," Lao Lu shook his head, forced a serious expression on his son's face with that drunken snort, and continued, "Whether there is a daughter-in-law or not is secondary." ”

"Oh," Lu Zhou said nonchalantly, "then what's important. ”

"The important thing is...... After so many years of floating outside, you finally have a home. ”

Is there any difference between the two?

After touching the cup with his father, looking at the old man who took a sip of boiled water, Lu Zhou silently took a sip of the wine in the cup.

After thinking about it for a while, he didn't understand the truth in this.

Fortunately, I didn't think about it at all.
