I've heard that if you do something similar with the same routine every day, time will pass very quickly.

Zheng Si also thinks so.

Eating, sleeping, walking, occasionally watching some lively eavesdropping on some gossip, and then looking at the wall calendar, I found that oh, it turns out that the days have passed inadvertently.

Zheng Si was lying on top of a tall plane tree on the main road of the campus, the dense foliage blocking out the sunlight above. Not hot, blowing a breeze, drowsy.

From the Chinese New Year to the beginning of school, until now the summer vacation is approaching, half a year feels like it has passed in the blink of an eye.

Speaking of which, a lot has happened in the past six months. Ermao and Gong Qin Fengzi got married, and although they bought another house in Chuhua City, they still live in the compound many times. Heimi has been taken, even if many people in Ermao's family oppose it, but Gong Qin and Ermao don't mind, where Ermao and his wife are now, Heimi will live with them, the good thing is that Heimi doesn't go out much, whether it is in the house in the compound or in the house that Ermao bought separately, it is quite habitual, and it is not noisy.

In mid-March, Yuzu participated in the preliminary round of the Hope Cup, and then entered the final in April, winning a first prize, medals and certificates, etc., were all put in a drawer by Yuzu, and did not take them out to show off. There are many children in the compound who have won similar awards, even if it is not the Hope Cup, there are other cups and other competitions. Jiao Yuan: They also won some awards in competitions at the beginning, but they were not in the mathematics category.

There are students from the fourth grade to the sixth grade who participate in similar competitions, and the fourth grade students mainly exercise to prepare for other exams in the future, and the fifth grade students aim slightly higher. As for the sixth-grade students like Xiaoyuzi, most of the competitions are combined with the "small promotion to junior high school" exam, and in the enrollment of some key middle schools, the medals of events such as the Hope Cup are weighty "stepping stones", and a medal in the event will undoubtedly have a great advantage in the "small promotion to junior high school". It is precisely because of this that many parents begin to enroll in various tutoring classes when their children are still in the second and third grades, regardless of whether their children are happy or not.

Jiao's father and Jiao's mother usually don't go out of their way to teach their children, whether it's Jiao Yuan or Xiaoyuzi. But both children are powerful. After Jiao Yuan won the award, some schools called to pull people, and Jiao Yuan felt that those schools were too far away, too troublesome, and did not have much freedom. and Su An, and several of them chose the nearest school. This time the small yuzu is too.

Speaking of pomelo, she went to junior high school. It has to be said that Jiao Yuan is high in the middle school. In a New York minute. When Zheng Si came, the two children who were still in elementary school became middle school students. Jiao Yuan, there is no doubt about them, a few friends will send them to the Affiliated High School of Chuhua University together, but they will have to live on campus in the future. The attached middle school is a bit far from here. At that time, Zheng Si will not often hear Jiao Yuan's voices in the vocal change period.

For Xiaoyuzi and Jiao Yuan, this is a summer with turning significance, and this summer, Jiao's father has already made arrangements.

Zheng Si overheard Jiao's father and Jiao's mother talking one night about the arrangements for the summer vacation, and this holiday will take Jiao Yuan and Xiaoyuzi to Nanhua City and Nancheng in the south to play.

Yuan Zhiyi has been flying back and forth between Nanhua City and Chuhua City since the second half of last year, he decided to open a branch in Nanhua City, now he has a foundation, has confidence, and then returns to Nanhua City to use the network of contacts left by his Lao Tzu, the branch is not too difficult, but it is enough to choke around, Yuan Zhiyi came to the door after the year, Zheng Si found that Yuan Zhiyi lost a lot of weight, and also darkened a lot, but the spirit is very good, full of fighting spirit. After the beginning of the year, every time I fly to Nanhua City, I will go to various colleges and universities to hold information meetings to collect talents, and I heard that many good seedlings have been signed in this year's graduation season.

This time, Jiao's father went to Nanhua City, in addition to looking at the situation of the branch, running a few cooperation projects with Yuan Zhiyi, and visiting several teachers of the year. Of course, there are some classmates over there who haven't seen each other for a few years, and they all have to walk around.

Zheng Si was very complicated when he knew that he was going to Nanhua City and Nancheng, he thought that he would never go to that place again, but he didn't expect to have the opportunity to go there again.

When I went there, I was completely passive, I was still wandering around in various crises, and I was almost cut into a stew, but this time it was different, and the Jiao family used to be just having fun, and my mood was a lot easier. Thinking about it, Zheng Si is still looking forward to it.

Jumping off the tree and running towards the compound, Zheng Si saw that the courtyard was full of shade, several children were asking what was going on around a middle-aged teacher, and among the children standing were Xiaoyuzi and her classmates Yue Lisha and Xie Xin, etc., who were probably discussing the problems encountered in the competition.

The teacher Zheng Si knew, he taught mathematics, he liked to give lectures to the children in the compound, and sometimes in the courtyard in the shade, he would discuss with some middle school students a variety of solutions to a competition problem, many of which were difficult to think of with ordinary thinking, so that those children gained a lot of knowledge. However, when many children in the compound were asked whether they would choose to major in mathematics in the future, they basically said "no", on the grounds that the Nobel Prize does not have a mathematics award.

Zheng Si once heard those children talk about the reason, the Nobel Prize has set up awards in physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, etc., but there is no award for mathematics as an important subject, there are several rumors and explanations, but those children in the compound are more inclined to the first type when they talk about it, that is, Nobel was dug up by a mathematician and Nobel's love was frustrated. Although this explanation is considered not to be very credible, it is brought up first every time it is said. Everyone has a gossip heart.

Seeing Zheng Si, Xiaoyuzi said hello to several other people and went home with Zheng Si.

Now that many schools have been closed, they have not yet set off for Nanhua City, mainly because of Jiao's father. To leave for a month, Jiao's father has to arrange the things here first, and there are more and more graduate students and doctoral students under him, and the projects at hand and various subject tasks will be sent down.

Graduate students in many faculties do not have summer vacations, but Jiao's father is not very strict. As long as the efficiency is high, the time arrangement is reasonable, and the task is completed in a timely manner, if you want to have a holiday, you can still have a holiday. However, in the summer, more students still like to stay in the air-conditioned study room, go to the laboratory to do an experiment, and then run to the self-study room of their research group to blow the air conditioner and surf the Internet in their spare time, and then throw a watermelon into the ice machine or something to wait to eat ice watermelon.

Zheng Si also met Zhuo Kitten before leaving with the Jiao family, and that little kid was taken around to play with him every holiday. This summer, I followed the Buddha and others to the north to escape the heat. The Buddha took a few students to a research institute in the north to exchange projects, and Zhuo Kitten was purely playing with the past.

In mid-July, Jiao's father arranged the things at hand, and then drove to Nanhua City with the family.

Zheng sighed and moved his neck. I'm not used to wearing cat cards all day. Available in Nanhua City and other places. He had to be careful, he had already seen several restaurants with cat and dog meat on the way. Not only Zheng Si, but other people in the Jiao family also told Zheng Si several times. Wherever I used to go, I asked Zheng Si not to cause trouble. This time, it's for Zheng Si not to run around.

Yuan Zhiyi has a house in Nanhua City, or a duplex, but he rented out the house after he went to Chuhua City to develop, and came back last year to redecorate the house again, keeping it for himself.

"The room is a lot empty, so you can just watch it." Yuan Zhiyi gave a bunch of keys to Jiao's father, his wife and children didn't come with him, and he felt very empty and lonely when he lived alone, but now it's okay, there are many people.

When Yuan Zhiyi and Jiao's father went to discuss the affairs of this branch, and when Jiao's mother took Jiao Yuan and Xiaoyuzi to tidy up the room, Zheng Si walked around the house and found that there was a black cat statue where the statue of the God of Wealth should have been placed. What is very bad is that the cat has a cat tag around its neck, and the cat tag is engraved with the word "black charcoal".

Yuan Zhiyi had to bow every time she went to Jiao's house to see Zheng Si, at first Zheng Si shook her face and lost her temper and wanted to go up and kick her feet, but after many times, she became numb, and directly ignored what Yuan Zhiyi did. It's just that when he thinks of Yuan Zhiyi burning incense and worshiping this kind of cat, Zheng Si feels uncomfortable, and he can only sigh with emotion, how much amusement there is.

After dinner, Yuan Zhiyi and Jiao's father drove to the University of South China, and today they made an appointment with two classmates from the year, who are now staying at the University of South China as teachers.

After the sun goes down, there is a road on the side of the river next to the University of South China, and many people are active here in the evening.

Many universities give people the feeling of being hidden in the city, Chuhua University is, and so is Nanhua University. The campus is quiet, but when you come out, you can see the bustling city at night.

Jiao's father and several of their classmates chatted together, expressing their feelings about being a teacher over the years, and also letting Yuan Zhiyi talk about what it feels like to be a boss.

"Now the pressure on school teachers is getting bigger and bigger, scientific research funding and teaching work are the sword of Damocles hanging over the head of every teacher, and the pressure of survival makes ordinary grassroots teachers like us run for survival all day long. Rushing for class, competing for projects, writing papers, and guarding against some people's tricks behind their backs, no wonder people say that when you are a student, you can still devote yourself to your own experiments, and when you become a teacher, you will have a rare opportunity......" said a classmate of Jiao's father.

Zheng Si and Jiao's mother stayed together not far away with the river breeze, looking at the night scene around them, he could hear Jiao's father and their conversation. It seems that Jiao's father's two classmates are only associate professors now, and the results are a lot, but unfortunately several applications for professors have ended in failure. One also sighed that if Old Man Yuan was reincarnated, maybe they would have been able to rise a long time ago.

No one is easy, and there is unspeakable suffering. In contrast, Jiao's father and Yuan Zhiyi are mixed well, one has been promoted to a professor, and the other has made a lot of money by opening a company as a **oss.

Just thinking about it, Zheng Si suddenly felt that his head was hit by something, it didn't hurt, it was just a soft spherical toy. Zheng Si looked around, and his gaze stayed on a little boy of five or six years old. The kid had a bag in his hand, and the bag contained several egg-sized spherical toys with various animated characters printed on them, similar to the ball that smashed Zheng Si just now.

The kid kept staring at Zheng Si, and then, under Zheng Si's gaze, he took another ball from the bag and threw it at Zheng Si. (To be continued.) )
