After breakfast, Zheng Yujie followed Yang Guo to Huacheng Square.

It was still early, and they took a small walk around the new central axis of this Yangcheng. Yang Guo has been here countless times, but he still sighs at the government's courage to be willing to set aside a total area of about 560,000 square meters of land in this upstart area of the city to build such a large-scale and magnificent square.

"That's the little man's waist, right?" Zheng Yujie said with interest, "I watched it on the live TV of the Asian Games last year, and this waist is indeed thin enough!" ”

The small waist is the joking name of the Yangcheng Tower, which is an elliptical gradient grid structure, whose shape, space and structure are generated by the variation of two oval steel shells rotating upward. Its lattice structure is loose at the bottom, denser up to the waist, and the waist is tightened and fixed, like a woven rope, presenting a "slender waist", and then the upward lattice structure is released, supported by tapering tubular structural columns. So it looks like a beautiful woman with plump hips and a thin waist.

"You men, don't you all like women with thin waists?" Zheng Yujie asked suddenly.

This is indeed an academic question worth exploring! Yang Guo smiled: "That's not it, a woman's waist is too thin, it's not good for the body, think about it, it's originally the stomach, if it reaches the so-called Yingying holdable size, then can the other organs of her body be good?" ”

"However, it's also good to be a little thinner, exercise more, have no fat on your belly, firstly, you look good in your clothes, and secondly, it is also a manifestation of the pursuit of health." Yang Guo analyzed with Zheng Yujie in detail, he didn't know, the angle of his answer to the question had already deviated by 108,000 miles!

With a sparkling light in her eyes, Zheng Yujie looked at him funny, turned around and walked forward, secretly, she touched her belly, and muttered in her heart: "I've been sitting in the office lately, and my little belly seems to be popping up, no, I have to do aerobics often when I go back to the capital!" ”

Passing by the Yangcheng Opera House, Yang Guo pointed to Zheng Yujie: "Cool, right? The design of this floor. ”

Zheng Yujie nodded and said, "It's really cool!" It's like an alien spaceship! Her description is not appropriate, the spaceship will at least have a sense of symmetry, the two buildings have dozens of faces and dozens of corners, none of them are symmetrical, it is more like two stones resting on a gentle hill, strange shape and roundness.

This one by the famous designer Zaha? Hadid's buildings are in the same style as her other works – surrealism, and if you look through her portfolio, you will see that each of her works is designed like never before, and even her own work has no analogy. Her dreamy fluid lines, unique geometric structures, and fantastical appearance have earned her numerous accolades, including the 2004 Pritzker Prize for Architecture, the Nobel Prize in architecture.

After the opera house, across the square, you will arrive at the Yangcheng Library, you may not feel it up close, but if you look at it from a distance or look at its aerial photos, you will find that its architectural plane and façade form a "zigzag" with each other. Of course, with the pearl and jade of the opera house in front, the shape of the Yangcheng Library did not make Yang Guo sigh much.

But it's different inside! Covering an area of more than 20,000 square meters, the two high-rise buildings in the north and south are connected by a high bridge in the sky. The tables, shelves, and floors on each floor are full of people, and from time to time someone walks in and out with a big bag of books with a happy face, and the people who love to read in Yangcheng seem to have gathered together.

"The library here feels very good!" Zheng Yujie whispered to Yang Guo, "It's very modern. ”

Yang Guo said with a smile: "The scale is indeed good, but when it comes to book collections, there is still a big gap with many libraries." ”

Zheng Yujie nodded, she had been to the Beijing Library, where there were more than 10 million books, even if you don't talk about the quantity, in terms of the quality of the collection, it is not comparable to the Yangcheng Library.

But it's already pretty good! After all, Yangcheng is not a city with a strong academic atmosphere, and it is a great intention of the municipal government to have such a great place for citizens to calm down and recharge themselves in their busy lives!

Today, Yang Guo and they came for the master's lecture, Yang Guo took Zheng Yujie straight to the eighth floor of the North Building, where is the multicultural museum, in addition to collecting documents of related countries and nationalities, but also often carrying out exhibitions, lectures, salons, forums and other cultural exchange activities.

Zheng Yujie got a few tickets, and Yang Guo could go in with his child, of course, the staff reminded him not to affect other audiences. Although it is a master's lecture, there are not too many people today, after all, it is a weekday.

There was no need to do it according to the position, Yang Guo and Zheng Yujie found a slightly empty place and sat down. Waiting for the opening, Yang Guo suddenly felt that he had drunk a little too much water in the morning and wanted to go to the toilet. Just said to Zheng Yujie, and walked to the toilet with Qiqi on his back.

The reason why Zheng Yujie didn't help take care of it was because Yang Guo had tried, Qiqi was still the same as before, if it was in someone else's arms, Yang Guo walked out of her sight, she would immediately cry, and only Fang Beibei could make her quiet, which made Yang Guo very helpless.

Speaking of Fang Beibei, Yang Guo hasn't seen her for a week or two, and recently she was busy with the final exam, so Yang Guo didn't bother her very well.

"Yang Guo?" Walking out of the bathroom, Yang Guo heard a familiar voice, and when he turned his head, it was actually Uncle Jin! changed the appearance of shorts and slippers before, and Uncle Jin is wearing a suit and leather shoes today, and his temperament has increased greatly.

"Uncle Jin!" Yang Guo smiled, "Why are you here?" Are you here for the lecture too? ”

"Haha, I'm here to give a lecture!" Uncle Jin patted Yang Guo's shoulder and said.

"Huh? No, isn't it Mr. Mo Yan's lecture today? Yang Guo asked strangely.

"Yes, it's a joint event between the Department of Education and the Library." Uncle Jin smiled.

Yang Guo suddenly realized and said with a smile: "Then today, the leader is you here to come to the town?" "He has a good relationship with his uncle, and it's not in the way to make jokes.

"What kind of leader, haha, I'm also coming to take a look, on behalf of the Department of Education, to greet Mr. Mo Yan." Uncle Jin smiled.

Mr. Mo Yan is not well-known in China, but he is famous abroad, and several of his novels have received great repercussions in European and American countries, such as "Red Sorghum" was not only named the best novel in the world in 1993, but also selected as one of the world's top 40 masterpieces in the past 75 years in 2001. He has won a lot of international awards, French Jules? The Ba Taiyong Foreign Prize, the Italian Lino International Award, the Fukuoka Asian Culture Award, and so on are too numerous to count.

Last year, he also won the Mao Dun Award, which has been unsuccessful many times, which is the highest honor award in China! Naturally, Xu Caijin, a leader of the provincial department, came to greet him.

Yang Guo has a deep understanding of Mr. Mo Yan, mainly because he has read many of his works when he was studying Chinese translation into English, and his translation of "Explosion" by Janice_Wickeri and Duncan_Hewitt, and the famous sinologist Howard_Goldblatt (Chinese Ge Haowen) are all important materials for Yang Guo to study.

"Director Xu," Yang Guo was chatting happily with the uncle, when a staff member ran over panting and said to him, "There's a foreigner here!" ”

"When a foreigner comes, there is a foreigner! What's all the fuss? Uncle Jin said dissatisfiedly, "You're still running in such a hurry!" ”

"No, he's here to find Mr. Mo Yan, this is his business card." The staff handed it over.

"What do you mean?" Uncle Jin picked up the business card, glanced at it, and couldn't understand it.

Yang Guo leaned over, looked at it, and said, "Svenska_Akademien, this is the Swedish word, the meaning of the Swedish Academy." ”

Uncle Jin looked at Yang Guo in surprise and said, "Do you know Swedish?" ”

The staff said weakly next to him: "Director Xu, the back, the back is English." ”

Uncle Jin opened the back, and there was a Swedish_Academy line written on the Svenska_Akademien just now, but Uncle Jin still didn't understand it, after graduating from school for so many years, his English had already been returned to the teacher.

He simply handed it to Yang Guo and said, "Yang Guo, you can help take a look." ”

Yang Guo took a look at it and said, "The owner of this business card is Professor Anderson, an academic committee member of the Swedish Academy, which is about the same level as the head of the department. ”

"Did he say that he came to Mr. Mo Yan for something?" Uncle Jin asked. A professor from a foreign university came to Mo Yan, which is not common, but it is not unusual.

"Yes, but we didn't get it." The staff smiled wryly, "His English pronunciation is so weird." ”

"I usually ask you to work hard to practice your English listening, and you laugh and laugh perfunctory things one by one. Look, it's time to use it! "Uncle Jin hates iron and teaches them a lesson.

"You call the foreign affairs office and ask them to find two translators." Uncle Jin waved his hand and said.

The staff nodded, turned around and ran, and before he ran a few steps, Uncle Jin stopped him again: "Wait! ”

Uncle Jin turned his head and looked at Yang Guo. Yang Guo was a little hairy by his staring, and he asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?" Why do you look at me like that? ”

Uncle Jin clapped his hands and laughed: "I'm really confused, I have to go far and forget that your English is very good!" ”

He took Yang Guo's arm and said with a smile as he walked towards the staff: "Come on, Xiao Li, it just so happens that Yang Guo is here today, so you don't have to go to someone else." Yang Guo, you can do a favor and help translate! ”

Yang Guo was pulled by him, and said with a wry smile: "Uncle Jin, you caught the strong man like this?" I can't do it today, I have friends waiting inside, and you can see I'm still carrying a child! It's a shame for you. ”

Uncle Jin blew his eyebrows at him and said, "What's the matter, it's just a temporary rescue, and it's not a big scene, you can help us communicate with that professor!" How long did it take? Your friend is in there? Tell him to come out with him, and I'll take you to the front row later, so you can see it more clearly! ”

Well, it seems that he can't run away, so Yang Guo had to obediently follow his uncle and go with him.
