Summer has quietly arrived, the days in the south have become very long, the sun is on from morning to night like the heating of the northern winter, and the occasional small breeze blowing through the body can make people grateful for the compassion of nature.

Hu Yiting was still carrying the old green canvas schoolbag on his shoulder, but it was no longer a design drawing, but mineral water and biscuits, as well as two apples that Bai Ping had forced into it.

Two heavy computer cases stood at his feet, the boxes were stuffed in the thick cardboard boxes of the original packaging, and the outside was wrapped in several layers of duct tape, the cardboard boxes were tied with nylon rope, and some old cloth was wrapped around the places used to carry them to prevent strangulation.

"Mom, Tong Mu, you all go back, it's weirdly hot. ”

Bai Ping said: "It's not hot. Be careful on the road and keep an eye on your bag when you sleep. Remember?"

Hu Yiting nodded, thinking that the two chassis in his hand, any one of them would be much more valuable than the money in the schoolbag.

Yesterday, after officially signing a contract with Shenzhen Audiovisual Publishing House, Hu Yiting got 14,400 yuan as a remuneration for the lyrics and songs of his eight songs.

The son actually made such a huge amount of money by writing songs, which really shocked Bai Ping. She was afraid that Hu Yiting would not be safe on the road, so she asked him to only bring 1,000 yuan with him, and deposit the rest in the zài bank, and then remit money back later.

Hu Yiting looked at Tong Mu and saw that Tong Mu's hair was wet and fine sweat was oozing from his forehead.

"It's too hot today, Mom, you can take Tong Mu back first. I'll be able to get in the car myself in a moment. ”

Tong Mu immediately said, "We'll send you to the car." ”

Bai Ping smiled at her son.

Hu Yiting had no choice but to nod: "I'm leaving, you're all safe, don't think about saving money." ”

Bai Ping said: "After recording the album, I will take Tong Mu back, you don't have to worry." ”

Hu Yiting thought that after all, his mother was in the sales department and had a wide range of social contacts, so there should be no problem with her taking care of child herding and acting as an agent for her.

From the end of the railway in the distance, a whistle sounded, and the blue express train rumbled in, and the platform trembled beneath his feet.

Mother and Tong Mu put Hu Yiting on the train.

Bai Ping stood in the corridor next to Hu Yiting's seat, sorted out Hu Yiting's neckline, and instructed again: "Your father will come to pick you up at the station, if you don't get late, the arrival time will be about half past five in the afternoon, you can eat outside and then go back." ”

Bai Ping said two more words before getting off the car, Tong Mu reluctantly followed Bai Ping to the end of the carriage, looking back at Hu Yiting from time to time.

Hu Yiting stood there smiling and nodding heavily at her.

After Tong Mu got out of the car, he quickly ran to the window of the car and shouted into the window: "When you arrive, you can call the guest house and the publishing house." ”

Hu Yiting nodded again and again in agreement.

Bai Ping stood aside and watched the two say goodbye, and suddenly remembered that when she went to the train station to see Hu Yanan off many years ago, the scene was the same as today, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, the child grew up so fast.

When the train started, Hu Yiting looked at his mother and Tong Mu, and did not sit back in his seat until he could no longer see the two waving to him.

The air-conditioned train was very cool, the passengers leaned comfortably on the backs of their seats, many people began to nap, and Hu Yiting heard his own panting quieter.

He looked at the two chassis on the luggage rack with great anxiety, each of which was worth more than 10,000 yuan.

A CPU with 486DX4/100MHz, plus a matching motherboard, the price of the two is 3800, the price of a 420M Quantum hard disk is 1600, and 2600 is inserted into two 8M memory, which is 5200, a pair of 3.5 and 5.25 floppy drives are worth 700, the price of color graphics cards is 1500, the two-speed CDROM is worth 2300, and the chassis is worth 750. The total price of this console without a monitor is 15850.

The other installs pentiumPentium75MHz processor,With the corresponding motherboard,Price5100,Two 16M memory,Total price8000,Add a 1100Yuan sound card,The rest of the configuration is the same as the previous host,The total price21050。

The two computers add up to 36900, which Tang Xinbing took Hu Yiting to Huachuang's equipment supplier to select and install, which is not counting the price of the genuine software installed inside. The reason why there is no monitor is because it is easy to carry.

Hu Yiting remembered that in 95 years, on the top floor of Hushan Mall, there were several shops selling computer machines and accessories. Although the storefronts of those stores are very small, and there have been only three or four stores in the early days to keep warm, but around these small stores, a very famous business district has been formed among local electronics enthusiasts, and it is no problem to buy two monitors here.

Hu Yiting didn't dare to tell Bai Ping the price of these two iron boxes, otherwise he suspected that Bai Ping would definitely not allow him to take them on the road alone, after all, this value was more than their family's deposits.

Even if it is so expensive, Hu Yiting has restrained himself when choosing, otherwise in the future, with two 640*480 monitors of more than 2,000 yuan, the total budget will definitely exceed 50,000. As for the 800*600 ones, the asking price is 3000 to 4000. Hu Yiting felt that it was a bit too expensive.

When choosing, Huachuang's equipment supplier highly recommended an HP brand machine to them, the latest Pentium 133MHz plus 16M memory configuration, 1G hard disk, plus HP's own graphics card, the boss asked for $6300, claiming that it was the same as the Hong Kong offer, and would never earn a penny more.

The price was converted into RMB at 1:8.3, which frightened Hu Yiting and Tang Xinbing at that time, and Hu Yiting felt like a robbery.

The air-conditioned train is rocking, making people want to fall asleep. Hu Yiting felt like he was on pins and needles, raising his eyes from time to time to look at the chassis on his head, warning himself to go to the toilet less, especially every time he was about to enter the station, he was even more vigilant.

When Hu Yiting was nervously guarding the chassis on the train.

On the other hand, in a small conference room of the Ministry of Education in the northern capital this summer, three experts were also in a complicated mood to review and approve the ranking of papers in this year's national science and technology competition for middle school students.

As a spoiler of this era, Hu Yiting's thesis once again stood on the cusp.

Professor Dai Xinfang, a judge from the Department of Computer Science of Peking University, said: "I think it's okay to win the first prize for this paper, but I'm afraid that after the first prize is awarded, there will inevitably be discussions." ”

Professor Dai glanced at the other two and then said, "Which of you two believes that a junior high school student can write such an algorithm independently? And this student not only independently compiled the algorithm, but also gave the implementation method that seems to be relatively mature in design.

You see, he has basically set up an arithmetic system for the mathematical logic of coordination between the floating-point register and the processor segment address register, and this alone is enough to publish papers in domestic scientific journals. ”

Professor Dai smiled bitterly and said, "Everyone is an expert, to be honest, even if we are currently undergraduates, how many of them can write such things?"

Professor Zhang Lian from Tsinghua University retorted: "This issue has been discussed yesterday, I think it is better for the jury to consider it from a technical point of view, and it is better to do what it should be, since the two levels of Hushan City and Huizhou Province have reviewed and approved the paper and found it to be fine, it means that the local government believes that the paper is still reliable after investigation." ”

There are three experts in the computer group, in addition to one from Tsinghua University of Peking University, and one from Shen Juan, a senior computer teacher from the High School Affiliated to Beijing Normal University.

Shen Juan said: "Yesterday, because we couldn't settle it, we sent the paper to the Institute of Computing Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and I wanted to say that it would be decided after the experts of the Institute of Computing Technology verified it." ”

Shen Juan explained: "This student's algorithm, instruction invocation and system design may not be fine, if the verification shows that the algorithm is defective, or the programming and instructions cannot be coordinated, then we will give him a second prize." ”

Zhang Lian pondered for a moment: "This is also a way. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and an old man with silver hair walked in and asked in the first sentence: "What are you hesitating about such a paper?"

As soon as the three of them saw someone coming, they immediately stood up.

"Xia Lao. ”

Professor Dai Xinfang bowed down and said with a smile: "On such a hot day, why do you have to come in person, Old Xia, just make a phone call." ”

Zhang Lian said: "Old Xia, why do you bother, for a junior high school student's thesis, you ran on a hot day." ”

Shen Juan stepped forward with a smile and sat down at the chief with Xia Lao in his arms.
