The northern suburbs of Luohe County, Baihua Community, Ningjia.

After returning home early in the morning, there was no rest, and the two adults left Ning Xiao in the living room.

In fact, if you really want to talk about it, yesterday Xu Xingfan took Ning Jian and Ning Kang to the guest house with the mentality of meritorious service. When he was in the Ning family, he had really already told these two Ning Xiao's elders that he would let Ning Xiao go to Yanbei University to study.

After all, in the eyes of the two elders, Ning Xiao went to Yanbei University this time, which can be regarded as a glorious ancestor.

It's just that I didn't expect that when I took these two elders to the county guest house, in the face of Ning Xiao, who had a resolute attitude, the two elders rebelled, saying that after all, it was the children who went to study by themselves, and they had to respect Ning Xiao's ideas.

Xu Xingfan did not expect that parents in a small county town would respect their children's ideas so much.

But for Ning Jian and Ning Kang, they also wanted to know why Ning Xiao had identified a sports university and given up the top universities in China. Although they showed 100% support for Ning Xiao in front of outsiders, an explanation was still needed.

After all, Xu Xingfan secretly told them that if Ning Xiao changed his mind, he could call him at any time, and before the official start of this year, the door of Yanbei University was always open for Ning Xiao.

In other words, Yanbei University still allows Ning Xiao to repent. This is also the reason why they have the confidence to unconditionally support Ning Xiao in the guest house, anyway, there is still a chance. But as elders, they have to understand what Ning Xiao thinks, and then decide whether to let Ning Xiao change his mind.

Although Ning Xiao has been very assertive since he was a child, children's ideas are often biased and need to be corrected by adults at any time.

At this moment, it is the saddest level for Ning Xiao, after all, the whole of China knows that Yanbei and Tsinghua are the best schools in the country, and there is no third. He can deal with two academicians of the Republic with unreasonable words, but he can't deal with his own relatives with the same words.

"Say, Ning Xiao, what do you think. If you don't want to go to Huaqing, your father and I can understand, after all, they are not kind first. But Yanbei University didn't offend you? Why don't you go? And the conditions offered by them are really good, not only are the tuition fees free, but also to help you apply for the top scholarships, and even direct doctoral students who can become academicians do not need to take exams! Uncle Ning Xiao was the first to ask.

Ning Xiao didn't answer Uncle's question directly, but raised his head and asked, "Uncle, Dad, have you ever thought about why Professor Fan and Professor Lu took the initiative to come from the capital to Luohe County to find me?" Is it really because you feel that you have wronged me before, so you want to rush to rehabilitate me? ”

The two adults were stunned at the same time, and Ning's father said sullenly: "Yesterday, Mr. Xu of Yanbei University said that it was because you wrote an article and were favored by those two professors. ”

Ning Xiao nodded and continued, "It's more than that. Did he tell you that after my paper was published, I was almost certain that I would get a million dollars in prize money and maybe other honors? Not only a domestic honor, but probably a world honor. ”

"Huh?" The two adults looked up at the same time, stunned to see Ning Xiao, who was still as quiet as usual.

After being surprised, the uncle couldn't help but affirm: "Xiaoxiao, you just said a million dollar bonus?" ”

Ning Xiao nodded, and then explained carefully: "The article in Mr. Xu's mouth solves a difficult problem that was publicly offered to the world by the famous American Institute of Mathematics, and the prize is one million US dollars. The two professors who came to me yesterday had a similar research direction to the problem I solved, but they couldn't complete the research in this direction, so whether I went to Yanbei or Huaqing, they couldn't help me much. ”

"But if I go to Yanbei Sports University, it's different. For professors who really want to do research, what I can do is far more important than who I am, and it has nothing to do with where I am. And whether I go to Huaqing or Yanbei, I may offend the other, but if I go to Yanbei Sports University, maybe I can become friends with those two professors in the future, instead of letting them become my mentors, or the kind in name only. ”

After listening to Ning Xiao's words, Ning Kang couldn't help but scratch his head.

He is a very rough man, even if he loves his only son deeply, but after all, he has to rely on one person to carry this family, and in order to live, he cannot understand Ning Xiao in all aspects. Fortunately, Ning Xiao almost never disappointed him, and when he was in school, his grades were always at the top. Every year at the parent-teacher conference, the teacher will focus on the kind of praise.

Only now he found that he still didn't know his son too well.

Where is this just good grades? The world's puzzles, a million dollars in prize money! He has been busy for half his life, and he has never seen what a dollar looks like, let alone a million dollars, which is millions of yuan, and he will never earn it in his life!

Not to mention the meaning of this child's words, when he went to the capital in the future, he wanted to make friends with the two professors who could only look up to the mountains yesterday? And not just treat them as teachers! This is a good feeling!

Those two are academicians of the Republic, vice presidents of Huaqing and Yanbei University, if they can make friends with such people, wouldn't the next generation of the Ning family become scholars? This is not just a class leap, it is simply a class leap.

Well, Ning's father's imagination has only dared to go so far.

If he knew that Ning Xiao was bewitched by a certain kitten, and his real goal was to be a mentor for those two academicians in the future, he probably wouldn't feel proud, but would only feel that this kid was already stunned.

Of course, after listening to Ning Xiao's words, the uncle's performance was not much better.

He knew that Ning Xiao had a chance, but he really didn't expect to have such a big chance, so he couldn't help but swallow his saliva subconsciously.

"Ning Xiao, are you serious?" Ning Jian couldn't help but ask again.

Ning Xiao nodded and replied, "Uncle, it may take another year and a half to discuss the bonus, because after the paper is published, there will be a time for argumentation." The argumentation time for the mathematical problem is still relatively long, and it can only be issued after it is determined. But think about it, if I don't even have this value, they are academicians, they are vice presidents of top universities, why did they come from the capital to Luohe County to discuss problems with me, and they had to ask me to go to their school? ”

This answer is powerful.

Thinking of the performance of the two old professors at yesterday's dinner and looking at Ning Xiao's gaze, Ning Jianjian immediately believed Ning Xiao's words, patted his thigh and said: "If you want to say that, I think Ning Xiao's choice is right, our Ning Xiao has the ability to talk to their peers, why should we go to them as a student?!" By the way, Ning Xiao, there are some things, I was going to wait for you to graduate and tell you, but since you are so capable now, I will ask you in advance. ”

"What's the matter, you say."

"Your cousin has always wanted to go to the big city, and your aunt and I have been pressing her, for fear that she will suffer as a girl and go to the big city. I thought that when you had a chance in the future, I could help take care of it, and if she didn't give up, let her go to you. But since you are so promising now, can you think of a way to let Ning Xiao follow you to the capital when the time comes, and let her see the world. After all, I'm waiting for a few years, I'm afraid this girl really won't be able to get married! ”

Ning Xiao thought about it and nodded, "No problem!" Uncle. ”
