Chapter 448 What Do You Think of My Daughter?
winning?
Hearing Lu Zhou's sudden words, Chen Baohua was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "What prize did you win?"
No concealment, Lu Zhou answered truthfully.
"The Nobel Prize..."
The air was quiet for about half a minute.
Although he didn't pinch the watch, Lu Zhou reckoned it would be that long.
Finally regaining consciousness, Chen Baohua stared at Lu Zhou with wide eyes, and asked incoherently.
"No... Bell? That Nobel?"
"Yes." Lu Zhou nodded again for confirmation.
To be honest, he was quite surprised when he received the call.
Although Professor Eitel had promised him that he would nominate his name to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, he never thought that this day would come so soon.
So much so that now he is not mentally prepared at all.
Excited?
I am very sure of that.
As the highest honor in academia, if anyone says that he is not interested in the Nobel Prize, he is either pretending to be coercive, or he can't eat grapes and say grapes are sour...
But at this moment, he is probably still mostly confused.
When he thought that he almost hung up the Nobel Prize twice, Lu Zhou's expression was full of indescribable weirdness. It seems that in the future, this strange call really can't be hung up casually, at least you have to listen to what it said...
At this time, Chen Yushan, who had been in a daze, also came back to her senses, and asked in a low voice, "Is there a Nobel Prize in Mathematics?"
"No," Lu Zhou shook his head, "It's the Chemistry Award."
"Oh, chemistry award."
Chen Yushan was relieved to hear that it was the chemistry award.
But before the breath came out, she reacted instantly.
Mom!
No matter what the award is, it is also a Nobel Prize!
In the past, although she knew that Lu Zhou was very strong in mathematics, and that it was internationally renowned, she never thought that he was not only strong in mathematics, but also in chemistry.
For a moment, Chen Yushan didn't even realize that the way she looked at him was different.
"Amazing, junior..."
Not very good at responding to others' compliments in person.
Lu Zhou smiled embarrassedly: "It's okay."
Chen Baohua: ...
...
At the same time that Lu Zhou received the call, there was an inconspicuous factory compound in the small town of Jiangling in the interior of China.
Ever since he retired from the front-line post to the logistics post, Lao Lu has been in a panic every day, either carrying a fishing rod to go fishing with his fishing friends, or sitting in the office of the unit drinking tea and reading newspapers.
It was the National Day holiday, and the weather was good again. He caught two unbelievably fat crucian carp. The happy Lu Bangguo took his fishing friends who went fishing with him to his home.
Asking Fang Mei to help cook the fish, and fry two appetizers, Lao Lu then evened out two taels from his collection of good wine, and set up a small table in the living room.
After taking a sip of the vintage wine, Zhou Ping, who was sitting opposite Lao Lu, said with emotion.
"It's still a pleasant life for you. Go out to catch game every now and then, and make two glasses of wine at home. If you put it on me, I won't change the days of the gods."
"What's the matter, I've grown fat after being idle every day, and I'll have to retire after a few more years. I have more time. I'd rather find some work for me in the factory." Although the tone of the words was complaining, the old man The expression on Lu's face was a smile.
Putting a piece of fish into his own bowl, Zhou Ping said with a smile: "Come on, you, don't bother our Secretary Wu. The leaders of the city and the province come here every now and then to condolences to the old comrades. Instead, you are the secretary of this factory. Dare to arrange for you to be placed in a front-line position?"
Lao Lu shook his head with a smile, but didn't speak.
He asked himself that he had never done any earth-shattering events in his life, and he was not very good at talking. He worked diligently as a screw in the factory all his life, and his greatest glory was to be evaluated as an advanced person in the factory, and he still started from a front-line position. It was only evaluated the year before I retired.
There is nothing to condolence to such an old comrade.
Even if no one told him about it, he actually knew that he had been honored by his son.
Poured another glass for himself, and Zhou Ping continued, "It's the National Day, your family's great mathematician can't come back, and the girl who went to college in Jinling hasn't come back either?"
Lao Lu smiled, and said indifferently: "They all have their own affairs, and I don't worry about them. If you have time, you can come back for a new year, and if you don't have time, you can call home, and that's about it."
"How can this work? You forget about home as soon as you go out," Lao Zhou couldn't help showing off his daughter again, "Look at my daughter, that's all she wants, she can't leave home .No matter whether the holiday is long or short, as soon as the holiday comes, I will run home.”
With a sideways glance at Lao Zhou, Lao Lu said, "Your daughter is studying in Jiangcheng, taking the high-speed train back here is faster than taking the subway from the city to the suburbs, can this compare?"
Lao Zhou laughed, waved his hands and said, "It doesn't matter where the place is, what matters is where the heart is."
Lao Lu curled his lips: "Oh, wait until she has a date before bragging with me."
Lao Zhou's eyes widened, and his momentum changed instantly: "I see which brat would dare!"
The two elders were bragging, and the TV not far away was also broadcasting news broadcasts.
Just after a piece of news was broadcast, at this moment, the host took a piece of paper from the side.
After quickly reading the content on the paper, a surprised expression flashed from the host's face.
But soon, she adjusted from the surprise.
"The following is a temporary news break."
"On October 4th, about 15 minutes ago, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced the list of the 2018 Nobel Prize in Chemistry..."
When this was said, the host paused for a second.
As if to restrain the excitement in my heart.
As if to stick to journalistic reserve.
With a steady voice, she continued to read the temporary press release in her hand.
"Because of his outstanding contribution to the research on the 'Theoretical Model of Electrochemical Interface Structure', Professor Lu Zhou, who graduated from Jinling University and is now teaching at Princeton University, will be the sole winner and enjoy the full prize of 9 million crowns!"
"At the same time, he will also become the first scholar in the world to win both the Nobel Prize and the Fields Medal!"
The news broadcast continued, but the living room fell silent.
Although he had never heard of the Hoffman Medal and never knew about the Fields Medal, even Lao Lu, who had never left the small town of Jiangling, knew about the Nobel Prize, which was almost deified.
The silence lasted about a minute.
It was Lu Bangguo's fishing friends who broke the silence first.
Zhou Ping: "Old Lu..."
Lu Bangguo: "...what's wrong?"
Zhou Ping: "I heard that your son is not married yet?"
Lu Bangguo: "Yes."
Zhou Ping: "I don't think about it... find a partner?"
Lu Bangguo squinted at him: "What do you mean?"
Zhou Ping smiled embarrassedly: "Why don't you see... how is my girl?"
