Chapter 167: Free Lunch
Pang Xuelin said with a smile: "Of course, there is no problem in going to Princeton, I can hold a report meeting related to the Fermat conjecture at any time, but ......"
"But what?"
Pang Xuelin turned his gaze to Ah Qing on the side and said, "If I go abroad, I'm afraid my sister Ah Qing will have no one to take care of......
Liu Changzheng laughed and said: "Teacher Pang, don't worry, you can take A-Qing to the United States with you, or you can put A-Qing in China, we will arrange special people to take care of her, and even transfer A-Qing's student status directly to the capital, so that she can go to school in the capital, these are not problems." ”
Pang Xuelin said: "In this case, I have no problem. ”
"That's good!"
Liu Changzheng suddenly breathed a sigh of relief
At this time, Li Zhiguo, vice president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and director of the Institute of Mathematics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, asked: "Mr. Pang, I would like to ask, do you still have the manuscript in your hand for the paper you submitted to the Mathematics Yearbook?" If so, I don't know if it's inconvenient for us to take a look? ”
When the words fell, everyone's eyes focused on Pang Xuelin.
This is the biggest purpose of their mobilization this time.
After all, a teenager who has just turned twenty years old proves Fermat's conjecture and always feels like a magical reality.
Li Zhiguo and Xie Yongxin will only know the bottom of their hearts after seeing them with their own eyes.
Pang Xuelin naturally understood everyone's thoughts, and said with a smile: "The manuscript is there, but there is only one English version, Academician Li, wait a minute......
As he spoke, Pang Xuelin got up directly and went into the back room, and soon took out a paper densely filled with English letters.
Everyone turned their heads one by one and looked at the papers in Pang Xuelin's hands, even Lin Huaiguo was no exception.
After all, the paper in Pang Xuelin's hand represents an answer that has plagued all mankind for three hundred years, and even if you can't understand it, everyone will be curious.
However, when Pang Xuelin opened the paper and saw the neatly written English letters on it, Lin Huaiguo and the others were all taken aback.
This teacher Xiao Pang is not only good at mathematics, but also his English proficiency is probably not much worse.
Li Zhiguo took the paper, read it with Xie Yongxin, and discussed it in a low voice from time to time.
Lin Huaiguo, Liu Changzheng, and Xu Jingyuan looked at it a few times, but they really couldn't understand it, so they sat on the side with Pang Xuelin and chatted with each other.
This chat once again made them glance at Pang Xuelin.
When this teacher Pang faced them, his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant.
The key is that no matter what topic is mentioned, Pang Xuelin can always pick up the conversation and express his own views and opinions.
And this kind of viewpoint and opinion always gives people a sense of command.
Even when it comes to the economic development of Province G, Pang Xuelin can also give a lot of very feasible suggestions.
Sometimes Lin Huaiguo and the others even felt that the person they were talking to was not a teenager who had just turned 20 years old, but an old fox with rich life experience and a very high level of knowledge.
Lin Huaiguo and the others only now understand why, Luo Jianzhong, Wang Muhui, and Lin Jianzhang have such an attitude when they talk about Pang Xuelin.
This Teacher Pang is really very human.
Half an hour later, Hu Liangcai organized the women in the village to prepare food, and Lin Jianzhang came over to call everyone to eat.
The conversation came to an end.
Because the time was a little late, and Lin Huaiguo and the others were also old, and they had walked so far on the mountain road, therefore, after eating, Lin Jianzhang arranged for Lin Huaiguo and them to rest.
After Lin Huaiguo and the others left, Wang Muhui took Liu Jiale to find Pang Xuelin.
"Brother Pang, let me introduce you, this is CCTV reporter Liu Jiale."
"Hello, Reporter Liu!"
Pang Xuelin and Liu Jiale said hello.
Liu Jiale looked Pang Xuelin up and down, and said with a smile: "Teacher Pang, hello." ”
Wang Muhui said: "Brother Pang, that's the case, you shouldn't be fine tomorrow, right?" Jiale wants to take pictures of your usual classes and life scenes, I don't know if it's inconvenient? ”
Pang Xuelin smiled: "There is nothing wrong with this, you shoot normally, as long as you don't interfere with the class." ”
In the real world, Pang Xuelin is still relatively resistant to reporters.
After proving the BSD conjecture and the ABC conjecture, CCTV has made several interviews, all of which were rejected by Pang Xuelin.
But in the world of "The Country Teacher", Pang Xuelin is not prepared to continue to act as low-key as in the real world.
After all, what he wants to do is to change the face of basic education in the whole country, and the higher the popularity, the better.
Liu Jiale said: "Teacher Pang, then thank you!" ”
"You're welcome!"
……
The next morning, as soon as Pang Xuelin got up, he saw Liu Jiale coming over with a CCTV photojournalist.
Pang Xuelin didn't care, he went to fetch water first, and then made breakfast normally.
Liu Jiale's food, clothing, housing and transportation were all handed over to the village to solve, and Pang Xuelin didn't have to care about it at all.
During this period, Liu Jiale and they have been following the shooting.
At seven o'clock in the morning, the children came to school one after another.
Pang Xuelin first arranged for the students to read early, and he corrected his homework in class.
At eight o'clock, Pang Xuelin began to teach the first and second grade students, followed by the third and fourth grades, and the fifth and sixth grades.
During this period, Lin Huaiguo and the others came over, and when they saw Pang Xuelin in class, they did not disturb Pang Xuelin, but listened to the lecture at the back of the class with great interest.
At noon, Pang Xuelin made a free lunch for the students as usual.
One stir-fried bacon with potatoes and carrots, plus one cabbage and tofu soup.
Because they made a lot of money a year ago, the food level of the children in Lingziding Village Primary School has skyrocketed.
Lin Huaiguo, Liu Changzheng, and Xu Jingyuan were also invited by Pang Xuelin to experience the free lunch of Lingziding Village Primary School.
During the meal, Liu Yuanzheng said: "Teacher Pang, how much does your free lunch cost per student per day?" ”
Pang Xuelin thought for a while and said: "Last year, there were only twelve people in the school, and my own salary was low, so I set a food fee of one and a half cents per person per day. In addition to rice, I can only make fried cabbage and shredded potatoes for the students every day. I made a lot of money in Lincheng a few years ago, and now I am a part-time researcher at Lincheng University, and I have an extra salary of 500 yuan a month, so now the per capita food cost per day has increased to four cents. ”
Listening to these few prosaic figures, several people present couldn't help but be in awe.
One dime a day, twelve people, that's eight pieces, and fifty-four dollars a month.
Last year, Pang Xuelin's monthly salary was only 80 yuan, that is, two-thirds of his salary was spent by him on students.
Although they had long heard Wang Muhui say that Pang Xuelin used his own salary to subsidize students, they really heard Pang Xuelin say it, and they felt how difficult Pang Xuelin was.
Liu Changzheng smiled bitterly and said, "Teacher Pang, you really make me ashamed!" ”
"Minister Liu, you are serious, and I am just doing my part. In fact, this free lunch program was implemented when my adoptive father was still alive, and I just continued his idea. ”
Liu Changzheng said: "Teacher Pang, whether it is you or your adoptive father, you are the representatives of thousands of rural teachers rooted in the countryside in our country. ”
"Cheers!"
Pang Xuelin, Liu Changzheng, Lin Huaiguo, and Xu Jingyuan had a toast respectively.
As for whether the free lunch plan should be promoted, Pang Xuelin didn't mention it at all, and Liu Changzheng didn't say anything.
In 1992, China's annual fiscal revenue was just over 300 billion yuan, and the amount of money spent on education was less than 10 billion yuan.
Even in later generations, the free lunch program was only for school-age children in poor rural areas, let alone in this era, and the free lunch program was simply not possible.
Therefore, the crowd simply skipped the topic.
