Chapter 124: The Conversation (Part 2)

Xiao Ran didn't expect that when she really saw Chen Meiyi, no matter how much enthusiasm and emotion she had, she prepared an opening statement full of heads, and finally turned into a smile that looked at each other.

Although this is just a simple eye contact, an ordinary smile, but every action carries infinite meaning.

Both parties felt and understood this indescribable meaning, and the mood became extremely happy, and the steps became very brisk, and an indescribable emotion hit the heart, which was fascinating.

The two families went up to the fourth floor one after another, sitting in a circle and talking to each other, Xiao Ran was pulled by Chen's father to sit next to him.

"Xiao Mo, do you know how proud I was when I learned that you were Teacher Xiao Ran? Not to mention teaching talent, how many people have benefited just one "Gymnastics"? When I first met you, I wanted to match you and Mei Yi, and I quarreled with your Aunt Xiaomeng several times because of this. Chen Youwei looked at Xiao Ran with admiration on his face and kept sighing.

Xiao Ran listened quietly and nodded continuously.

"That's right, Mei Yi and Xiao Mo, don't you have a marriage contract? Of course I'm going to match the two of you, but I didn't expect your Uncle Chen to introduce that Teacher Xiao to Mei Yi again, of course I didn't agree, so we argued many times because of this. Haha, I didn't expect that in the end, Xiao Ran is you, Xiao Mo is also you, when we know the truth, we really can't cry or laugh!" Chen's mother also stared at Xiao Ran up and down on the side, and the more she looked, the more satisfied she became.

"Uncle and aunt have won the award!" Xiao Ran kept dealing with Chen's father and Chen's mother.

Chen Meiyi secretly looked at Xiao Ran who was smiling and chatting with her parents from time to time, her eyes were full of tenderness, and her heart was full of sweetness.

Occasionally, he would look at Xiao Ran's eyes, and every time they looked at each other, they smiled at each other.

"You have 15 students who are about to participate in the national training team, among them, there is a high probability that there will be students who will represent the national team in the IMO, I don't know what you think of the IMO?"

"Then I'll talk about my little opinion, looking at the teams that have won gold medals at the IMO in the past ten years, the results of the Chinese team have shown a downward trend, while the United States has come from behind, winning gold medals year after year. Xiao Ran said thoughtfully.

"Yes, in the past, our country's team was the best in mathematics and enjoyed the glory of gold medals, but in the past ten years, the number of gold medals has become less and less, have you thought about the reason?" Chen Youwei asked with a serious face.

"This, maybe the United States has begun to pay attention to the Olympiad?"

"No, no, the United States has always attached great importance to it, let me show you a set of photos. Chen Youwei turned on his mobile phone, pulled out a photo, and said, "This photo is a group photo of the two teams that won the gold medal at the IMO last year, do you see anything special about this photo?"

Xiao Ran raised his eyes and said suspiciously: "Why are they all Orientals? Aren't they the United States team? Why are there no black or white people?"

"Haha, that's good. The teams participating in this rice country are all Chinese, ironically, all of them are my Chinese nation, but they went to participate in the competition on behalf of the rice country, and "fought against each other" with their compatriots. Chen Youwei said a little self-deprecatingly.

Xiao Ran also felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and he said: "This is really heart-wrenching!"

Chen Youwei smiled: "Do you know that most of the Fields Medal winners, the highest award in mathematics, are from IMO gold medal winners? In the past few decades, China has cultivated nearly 100 gold medal winners, but have you ever heard that the Fields Medal winners are Chinese?"

"No, from 1936 to the present, a total of 72 mathematicians in the world have won the Fields Medal, of which 2 are Chinese mathematicians, namely the mathematician Yau Chengtong who won the award in 1982 and the mathematician Tao Zhexuan who won the award in 2006. ”

"Hehe, China is a big country, accounting for 21% of the world's population, and in the past 100 years, it has not produced a Fields Medal or Abel Medal winner, I have to say that this is a sadness. ”

"Is it because our young people are inferior to their peers in the world? I don't think so, judging from the IMO gold medalists every year, China has been in the leading position for a long time, and it has only declined slightly in the past ten years. So why is it that our young people are not worse than others, or even better than others, but why don't we have a top international award winner?"

Chen Youwei said indignantly, he stared at Xiao Ran and asked, "Do you know why?"

Xiao Ran thought for a while and replied, "Brain drain?"

"Brain drain is also one thing, but more importantly, there is no place in China for these mathematical geniuses to study and research, and after graduation, they will either study abroad or join the work, and they will be involuntary and running for life when they enter the society. Alas, the domestic environment is like this, and a large number of people means that resources are tight, and if you don't work hard to earn money, you may go hungry. ”

As Chen Youwei spoke, he sighed with some interest: "That's it, this thought of the domestic environment makes people feel powerless for a while. ”

"Uncle Chen doesn't have to worry too much, let everything go naturally, it won't happen overnight to change this situation, but I think this situation will get better and better. Xiao Ran seemed to have made up his mind, and he said to Chen Youwei with confidence on his face.

Xiao Ran listened to Chen Youwei's words, and then looked at his helpless look, Xiao Ran secretly vowed in his heart that one day, he would let various top international awards bloom everywhere in the land of China.

"Not to mention that, this kind of thing is not something we can worry about. Chen Youwei exhaled and said.

"As far as you talk a lot, Xiao Mo and Mei Yi finally met, you don't let their young people have more contact, and keep pulling Xiao Mo to talk about what are you doing? Don't you see your daughter staring at Xiao Mo all the time?"

"Huh!"

Hearing her mother's naked words, Chen Meiyi's face turned red with shame, and she couldn't wait to find a hole to get into, her mother was really, she secretly saw that Xiao Ran was discovered by her, and even if she found out, she said it in public, it was really too bad to give her face as a daughter.

"Mom, what do you say?" Chen Meiyi said with some distraction holding Chen's mother's arm.

Xiao Ran was also a little embarrassed, he looked up at Chen Meiyi and said, "Meiyi, why don't we go out for a walk?"

"I, who wants to go out with you!" Chen Meiyi was shy, but she didn't expect Xiao Ran to say such a thing to herself at this time, and she was so ashamed that she couldn't stay here, and she couldn't help but glared at Xiao Ran and went out.

"Hehe!" Xiao Ran looked at Chen Meiyi's back as she walked out of the door, and couldn't help but feel a little interesting, so she also got up and followed, "Uncle and aunt, I'll go see Meiyi, she is not familiar with this place, I'm afraid she will get lost." ”

When Xiao Ran and Chen Meiyi both disappeared at the door, everyone couldn't control their laughter anymore.
