It is said that one day in 2018, Qiao Nan returned to his alma mater and chatted with a post-95 graduate student who was many years younger than him. He is a post-85 generation, and he is a post-95 generation, and the age difference of more than ten years does not seem to have caused any obstacles.

The post-95 generation majored in communication at their school and was Qiao Nan's direct apprentice. The field of his research happened to be the three-dimensional display technology that Qiao Nan was very interested in when he was in college, and he also had something to do with holograms, so Qiao Nan caught him and chatted.

Qiao Nan asked him, "What are the main fields in which your current research results can be applied?"

"The application is quite wide, and in some developed countries, robotic surgery can be performed by using integrated imaging three-dimensional display. The 4D movie experience hall of some large amusement parks, and some more awesome simulation amusement facilities, can also be used. However, at present, our laboratory is mainly researching how to use this technology in automobiles. ”

"Then its main value should still be in the display, right?" Qiao Nan was interested, and asked: "What is the main aspect of the car?"

"For now, it's mostly the rearview mirrors. ”

"Rearview mirror?" Qiao Nan twisted his fingers and thought: "What are the advantages of the rearview mirror made by holographic technology compared with the current rearview mirror?

The post-95 graduate student was stuck and muttered: "It is lighter and thinner than the traditional rearview mirror, and it does not affect the line of sight in front of you." ”

Qiao Nan thought to himself, in fact, there is no obvious advantage compared to now! But he was embarrassed to hit this junior who was more than ten years younger than him, so he asked euphemistically: "Can it be promoted in civilian use?"

"Efforts are being made to promote. ”

"What about the military?"

The post-95 generation smiled apologetically, Qiao Nan understood in seconds: "Military secrets, needless to say." ”

(It may also be that the post-95s told Qiao Nan, but Qiao Nan refused to tell outsiders!

The two of them chatted for a long time that day, and finally the post-95s asked with admiration: "Are you really a doctor of conducting? Not a doctor of communications? Or are you an interdisciplinary student of communications and command?"

"Pure commanding. To put it mildly, I wanted to delve into this discipline because I couldn't give up the front-line combat troops; to put it mildly, I also wanted to take the technical graduate school entrance examination, but after asking around, no one wanted me. ”

Although Comrade Qiao Nan's military rank is already very high in front of his junior brothers, his humor is not as good as it was back then, and he is still as approachable as before. He went back to his alma mater to give several presentations, and the juniors admired him very much, and he also preferred to be with young people because they were more active and energetic.

What his junior brother admired was that the senior who majored in physical fitness, after graduating more than ten years later, could still talk about the professional knowledge of the year and know the development of this discipline well, such a brain is really admirable.

Qiao Nan often thinks that his life is not only the possibility of wearing a military uniform, he still has a lot of things he wants to do, waiting for the day when it will be realized.

(Of course, these possibilities should not include those who made a fortune as a mercenary!)

Speaking of possibilities, Qiao Lu also had the idea of opening an inn back then. After a few years of marriage, after achieving full financial freedom, she spent a lot of time in Chengdu and Dali. In addition to enjoying the slow life, she also said that she would do field trips, and maybe one day she would invest in opening an inn.

In the eyes of her lover, although Qiao Lu has experienced the vicissitudes of life at a young age, she still retains her childlike innocence in terms of money. She is not good at managing money, and she doesn't know anything about investment. But if she is willing to open an inn, he is willing to support it.

He really loved her very much and admired her from the bottom of his heart. Anyway, the family has a lot of money, so she can do whatever she wants.

But after Qiao Lu's field trip, he never mentioned the matter of opening an inn again. I have to keep vigil every night, clean up, change the sheets, these tasks cannot be done by one person. If you hire someone, you may not be able to return to your capital. The most terrible thing is to meet a tricky customer, give a bad review, and the business will plummet.

Qiao Lu said: "I don't have that much time and I don't have that much energy...... I'm still concentrating on research. When you retire one day, you can think about opening an inn!"

Qiao Lu worked in a bubble tea shop, and after marriage, she often made milk tea at home, which tasted very good, and it was more hygienic than the outside, so she could drink it boldly with confidence. Her in-laws liked her and supported her to invest in opening a milk tea shop, but she was so frightened that she refused: "Forget it, I can't bear to make other people's money, I will definitely lose all my money, I still have to save face." ”

In this way, Qiao Lu still has only the possibility of "scientific research" left in her career.

Compared with them, the slightly younger generation, like Jolene and her two good friends, has become a popular "slash youth" early, and in addition to their own professional fields, they have also developed their interests and hobbies well.

Back in 2012, they were all working hard for their own lives, only doing their best for one thing in life, where did they have the heart to think of other possibilities?

If you look at the entire Qiao family, the biggest event in 2012 must be Qiao Nan's marriage. Because he has no money and is too busy, Qiao Nan often has a sense of dizziness - he is really getting married?

He thought about it for many years and wanted his sister to marry in front of him. But everybody said, where is the rule of age to get married? It's time to get married, just get married.

I don't have money to marry a daughter-in-law, which is equivalent to white gloves. Let's ask a girl, if the marriage partner only has a rough house, no money for decoration, no car, and occasionally needs to subsidize the family, are you still willing to marry him?

There is no doubt that Wen Jing definitely wants to marry, compared to her boyfriend's ability and character, what is the embarrassing economic situation? She has always believed that they will definitely live well in the future, and she doesn't care about being bitter for the time being.

Since you want to decorate, you must install it well, and you can't make do with it. Qiao Nan's monthly military salary can almost afford to buy floor tiles in the bedroom and living room, and after saving money for a few months, the floor tiles at home can probably be paved. Save up for a few more months, and you'll be able to paint the walls.

After settling the accounts in the middle of the night, before he had time to catch his breath, he found a very serious problem - what should I do with the wedding photos if the wedding is held in August?

It was early in the morning, and he was just about to lie down to sleep, when he remembered it, and suddenly he couldn't sleep. After a few cigarettes, the sun rose in the clouds.

He calculated in his brain again, and when he got the class fee this month, he probably had about 3,000 liquid funds in his hand. According to the price level of the port city at that time, 3,000 yuan was enough to take a pretty good set of wedding photos, and you can also go to the beach to shoot. But he checked several wedding dress shops in the imperial capital, and even the average one was 3,000 was just the starting price. And a little better, a set of tens of thousands is normal.

Qiao Nan lay on the bed again, depressed.

Wen Jing is not very keen on taking wedding photos, she said: "Spend so much money and take dozens of photos, but those photos are lying in the album most of the time, with all the bells and whistles, and not many people look at them." My foreign friends, they almost don't take wedding photos, they just take some at the wedding, or go to the photo studio to take a few commemorative photos. I just want to take a few meaningful photos and put them at home. ”

I don't know if she is ahead of her time, or deliberately saving him the burden, if she really doesn't take wedding photos, it will really save time and effort. But if you don't take wedding photos, it seems that something is missing. Or just follow what she said and take a few commemorative photos. But these photos must be taken at a high level, and they must be worthy of Miss Wen's gentleness and thoughtfulness.

At that time, it was already June, and a good photo studio had to be booked, otherwise the photos would not be produced when the wedding was held.

Just as he was about to call a well-known wedding photography shop, he received two bolts from the blue in succession - a high school classmate got married and was going back to Beijing for a treat, and a college classmate was about to be sent abroad and hurriedly arranged the wedding before going abroad.

They all invited Qiao Nan to go, can Qiao Nan not go? So, before the class fee was covered, they all took it out.

Alas, no wonder some people say that wedding invitations are fines in disguise.

Qiao Nan's money, part of the deposit has to repay the mortgage, and the other part is stored with his girlfriend's money, both of which he has calculated many times, and he can't move it casually. It is said that the Monopoly often forgets some of his possessions and does not know where they exist. When the economy is at its most embarrassing, Qiao Nan will also fantasize - it would be nice if he had such troubles in his life.

He wanted to ask his family for a few thousand dollars for emergency relief, but that wasn't good. Mom and Dad said that he doesn't have to worry about running the banquet, and they have all the expenses in Hong Kong City. So, how could he be embarrassed to ask his parents for money again? After thinking about it, he could only borrow money from his sister again.

It was probably a Friday before Jolene graduated from college, and he was in a class at a college, and Jolene had to go to the class. She has been very happy lately, and when she saw him, she actually called him brother after a long time.

I heard that Sun Ruiyang has gone through a lot of hardships and finally sent a very important paper, this little couple must be very happy! If it was usual, Qiao Nan would definitely invite Sun Ruiyang to dinner, but he has been shy recently. Not to mention eating, even when Jolene received the admission letter, he couldn't reward her properly.

The main content of Qiao Nan's talk that day was to prevent "professional international students", especially science and engineering universities with national defense projects, and they should be even more vigilant against such international students. The elder brother has a set of leading soldiers, and the lecture is also very vivid, and Jolene is amused to laugh.

The old sister has come to cheer for herself, and Qiao Nan has to invite her to a meal anyway. In view of the recent financial situation, he invited her to eat spicy fragrant pot in the university cafeteria. When he brought the food back, Jolene applauded happily. After eating, I didn't ask for anything else, and obediently took the bus back to school.

After Qiao Nan sent her away, she was still a little messy - she came and went in a hurry, like a gust of wind. Why?

However, after he got on the subway, he understood. There was an envelope in his bag, and the money in it was probably the one that the wind had blown just now.

He didn't hesitate to dial his sister's phone, Jolene refused to admit it, and turned over and over with one sentence - you should be blown by the wind, can't you?

Of course not. Qiao Nan simply changed his question: "Where did you get all this money from?"

As soon as the words "being a tutor ......" came out, Jolene knew that she was exposed. Alas, it's all to blame for the electrician being too cunning, and he was easily tricked out.

After the results of Jolene's graduate school entrance examination came out, a foreign expert happened to come to their school for a meeting. The expert brought her little daughter with her, and she didn't have time to take care of it during the meeting, so she wanted to find a student with good English to take her and teach her some Chinese, mathematics and so on. It is said that it is a tutor, but in fact, it is to look at children in disguise, and they can't learn much at all. But the pay is quite objective, fifty yuan an hour.

This job was introduced to her by the honest listening teacher back then. Jolene was very grateful, and not only was she paid, but she also received a tip from the expert, which was exactly 2,000 yuan. Her living expenses were still enough, and thinking that her brother's life was difficult, she gave him all the money.

Jolene wanted to say sensationally, you have helped me for so many years, I rarely help you once, you can take it! But if you say so, the brother-sister relationship will not be plastic. So, Jolene said with a big grin: "I have the title of graduate student of a prestigious university, and it is very easy to find a part-time job. I also plan to go on a graduation trip to Mongolia with my classmates, and I don't pay attention to the two thousand yuan at all. ”

I made 2,000 yuan, and it feels like I made 20 million. Qiao Nan was speechless, holding the envelope and falling into silence.

Qiao Lin shouted exaggeratedly: "We three brothers and sisters, do you still need to count it as yours and mine? You quickly accept the money and marry your daughter-in-law home! Anyway, I will definitely have to come back with you in the future!"

For Qiao Nan at that time, life was very difficult, but it was also very warm. It was also during that time that he believed more firmly that as long as the three of them were united, there would be no mountain of flames in this world that could not be crossed. Now their lives are still very thin, but in the future, they ...... It's sure to be brilliant and colorful.
