Chapter 84: This World Is Too Small
After chatting for a while, Chen Mingyu told him the reason why he came here today.
Tao Xuewei was surprised after hearing this, and exclaimed: "Mingyu, you are really good!" Now that you have a regular job and are a police officer, it's a great job, but it's rare that you still want to study economics and law! It's rare! ”
Chen Mingyu smiled: "Uncle Cousin, you have won the prize!" I don't really have any other thoughts, I just think that in such an era of drastic change, if you don't know a little about economics and law, you will easily fall behind. ”
Tao Xuewei said: "You are right, in this era, the economy is a topic worth paying attention to, and the economy is not only limited to the field of economy, but has involved all aspects of the whole society, which can be said to be closely related to everyone!" As long as our country's economy develops, the road to the construction of the rule of law will inevitably be smoother! Mingyu, it is indeed very wise for you to study economics and law! ”
Chen Mingyu said: "Uncle Cousin, then I can still apply for correspondence courses now?" ”
Tao Xuewei pondered for a moment and said, "Now the time to sign up for correspondence has passed, but I can help you ask, and maybe you can make up for it." However, even if you can't make up the application now, it doesn't matter, you can come and follow the lecture first, and I will report it to you when you register for the next correspondence course. As for economics, you can follow me in class, or you can listen to other professors, and the professors in the law department will also greet them, so you can rest assured. ”
Chen Mingyu smiled: "Then thank you Uncle Cousin!" Why don't I treat you to lunch at noon? ”
Tao Xuewei smiled and said, "You stinky boy, why do you still come here with your cousin?" Today, let's not go to eat anywhere else, just go to my house and ask your aunt to cook you a light meal, how about it? ”
Chen Mingyu said: "It's embarrassing to trouble my aunt to work hard." ”
Tao Xuewei said: "Then what's embarrassing, you're here, if I have a meal at home and let your aunt know, she will be angry!" ”
Chen Mingyu knew that Tao Xuewei's words were the truth, Tao Xuewei's wife Wu Xiaoying was also from Shuangmiao Town, and his family was a neighboring village, and the two were still junior high school classmates. It's just that after they graduated from junior high school, they caught up with the ten-year turmoil, and neither of them continued to study.
Later, after they got married through free love, because his family was very poor, Chen Mingyu's family helped them a lot. Especially after the resumption of the college entrance examination, Tao Xuewei was admitted to university, left home to study in other places, and left his wife and children under the age of one at home.
Therefore, Wu Xiaoying has always been very grateful to Chen Mingyu's family, if she knew that Chen Mingyu came to the city, but did not go to her house for a meal, she would definitely be angry!
Chen Mingyu smiled and said, "Okay, I also miss my sister-in-law and brother Xiaotao, just go and see them." ”
Tao Xuewei didn't have any classes next, so he took Chen Mingyu home directly.
Tao Xuewei's wife Wu Xiaoying was originally a private teacher in Shuangshan Town Central Primary School, and later after Tao Xuewei stayed in Qingjiang College to work, he transferred his wife to Qingjiang College through the school's preferential treatment policy and worked as an administrator in the school library, but her wife was only a temporary worker and had no establishment. Despite this, the fact that their family was able to reunite also made Tao Xuewei very satisfied.
Tao Xuewei has been working in Qingjiang College for more than six years, but because his qualifications are still not enough, he has not yet taken the turn to go to the school's welfare room, and now his family of three has rented a private house of more than 40 square meters near Qingjiang College. Although the house is very old and the living area is very small, as long as the family is together, it is a family joy.
After Chen Mingyu followed Tao Xuewei into the house, Tao Xuewei shouted: "Xiaoying, come out quickly, look who is coming!" ”
Wu Xiaoying is off duty today, and she is choosing vegetables in the kitchen at the moment, and after hearing Tao Xuewei's voice, she quickly wiped her hands and walked out.
"Hehe, auntie!" Chen Mingyu opened his mouth to say hello!
"Yikes! Mingyu! When did you arrive? Sit down! Sit down! Wu Xiaoying was obviously very happy.
"I came here this morning, and I went to school to listen to a class from my cousin, and I benefited a lot!" Chen Mingyu said after sitting down.
"Really? With your compliment, then your cousin must be overjoyed! Wu Xiaoying quipped.
"Haha, don't hurt me!" Tao Xuewei said with a smile, "Xiaoying, you buy some food, I don't have classes in the afternoon, I want to have a drink with Mingyu at noon!" ”
Wu Xiaoying said: "Okay, I'll go right away!" ”
Chen Mingyu said: "Auntie, don't be too troublesome!" ”
Wu Xiaoying smiled: "When you get to your aunt's house, you don't care about anything!" You drink tea with your uncle first, chat, and I'll be back in a while. ”
Chen Mingyu didn't say anything more, and said with a smile: "Okay." ”
Wu Xiaoying simply changed her clothes and quickly went out.
Chen Mingyu asked Tao Xuewei: "Hey, what about Xiaotao, he is not at home?" ”
Tao Xuewei said: "He went to study in the city library with his classmates, and he should be back soon." ”
Chen Mingyu said: "Hehe, Xiaotao has loved to study since he was a child, how are his grades now?" ”
Tao Xuewei said with great relief: "It's okay, generally in the grade department, you can stay in the top ten." ”
Chen Mingyu exclaimed: "City No. 1 Middle School is a key middle school in our province, as long as he can maintain the top ten in the department, there is absolutely no problem in being admitted to a key key university in the future, even if it is Tsinghua University and Peking University, it is not impossible!" ”
Tao Xuewei smiled: "I hope so!" ”
About half an hour later, Wu Xiaoying and Tao Tao came back together, both of them carrying a lot of dishes in their hands, including chicken, duck and fish.
Tao Tao was just fourteen years old, he looked very similar to his father, thin and thin, polite, and also wore a pair of glasses, as soon as he entered the door, he called out very politely: "Brother Mingyu!" ”
Chen Mingyu stood up and said with a smile: "Ah, Xiaotao, you have grown taller again!" ”
Tao Tao is an introverted boy who is not good at words, smiled and said, "A little taller." ”
Chen Mingyu said again: "Auntie, why do you buy so many things!" ”
Wu Xiaoying smiled: "I told you just now, when you get here, you just listen to your aunt, and don't care about anything else." Xiao Tao, your brother Mingyu is a college student, do you have any problems with your studies, just ask you Brother Mingyu, don't miss this good opportunity, understand? ”
Tao Tao responded: "I understand." ”
Chen Mingyu hurriedly said: "Auntie, you think too highly of me, I can't teach Xiaotao at my level!" If Xiao Tao asks me anything, I will definitely make a fool of myself. ”
Tao Xuewei said with a smile: "You haven't been in contact with middle school textbooks for a long time, if he asks you any specific topics, you may not be able to do it, but your learning methods can be shared with Xiao Tao." ”
Chen Mingyu was no longer presumptuous, and said with a smile: "Haha, okay, then okay, I will definitely do my best!" ”
Wu Xiaoying said: "Then you talk first, and I'll cook." Hey, by the way, Xuewei, I met Professor Huang when I was shopping for groceries just now, and he knew that you didn't have classes in the afternoon, so he said that he would come over to you for a drink later! ”
Tao Xuewei said: "Okay! ”
After Wu Xiaoying entered the kitchen, Tao Tao also said hello to Chen Mingyu, and then went to his room to study.
Tao Xuewei took a sip of tea and said to Chen Mingyu: "Professor Huang, who your aunt said just now, is an associate professor of the Department of Economics of our school, and is a radical reformist economist, especially for the way out of state-owned enterprises and the development of private enterprises. ”
Chen Mingyu's heart moved, and said, "This Professor Huang seems to be very powerful!" ”
Tao Xuewei smiled: "He is indeed very powerful!" However, he is also a man of temperament, and the two of us have similar interests and academic views, so we often chat together. After he comes over in a while, you don't have to be inhibited. In addition, I just recommended you to him, and you can listen to more of his lectures in the future, which should be very rewarding. ”
Chen Mingyu said: "Okay, then thank you Uncle Cousin." ”
Tao Xuewei smiled: "What are you polite to me?" ”
Chen Mingyu said again: "Uncle Cousin, since you have similar academic views to Professor Huang, then you should often be treated as a guest by the city leaders, right?" ”
Tao Xuewei smiled and said: "I have indeed been invited by the city leaders to discuss it a few times, but the city leaders have different views on the economic situation, the way out of state-owned enterprises, and the development of private enterprises. To put it simply, it can be divided into two types: conservative and radical. Professor Huang and I both hold radical views, and Mayor Guo of the municipal government also agrees with this view, so I mainly have more contact with Mayor Guo. However, Professor Huang had more contact with Mayor Guo. ”
"Guo Yuancheng, executive vice mayor of the municipal government?"
"That's right! Do you know Mayor Guo? ”
Chen Mingyu thought to himself, this world is indeed big when it is big, and small is small! His good brother Guo Peng is Guo Yuancheng's son, and his cousin is a scholar with similar views to Guo Yuancheng, it seems that he is destined to have an intersection with Guo Yuancheng?
Chen Mingyu did not hide his relationship with Guo Yuancheng's son, and said: "Mayor Guo has a son named Guo Peng, who is a classmate of my police academy, and the two of us are still roommates, and the relationship is very good. Last night, I drank wine with Guo Peng, and slept in his house at night. ”
"Really? Haha......" Tao Xuewei laughed, "Our Qingjiang City is indeed small, and there are acquaintances everywhere." In the field of mathematics, there is a very famous conjecture called Six Degrees of Separation, which is translated into Chinese as 'Six Degrees of Space Theory', which means that you will not be separated by more than six people from any stranger, that is, you can know anyone in the world through a maximum of six intermediaries. Later, in 1967, Stanley Milgram, a professor of psychology at Harvard University, conducted a chain letter experiment based on this concept, trying to prove that it only took an average of five intermediaries to contact any two Americans who did not know each other. Haha, it's far away! Mingyu, drink tea, drink tea......"
Chen Mingyu picked up the teacup, and a thoughtful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
