Chapter 235: The Ugly Son-in-law Meets His Parents-in-law (Part II)
Gan Ruolan used to hear Geng Wenyang talk about the difficult experience of starting a self-made family in the past, and now with the presence of her parents, why not let him say it again, so that his parents would always treat him as a second-rate son who did not do his job.
So Gan Ruolan pretended to be interested and said, "Wen Yang, can you tell us how you started writing?"
"How did you get started?" Geng Wenyang saw her eyes flashing, and said with a sense of heart: "It started with the first traditional martial arts book I wrote, "Farewell to Laughter......
Geng Wenyang recounted in detail his difficult past experience of writing, printing, and selling his own life.
Gu Bingming and his wife were deeply touched when they heard this, and said: "It turns out that Geng Wenyang did not get the money by luck, but also achieved success after going through a lot of ups and downs. Moreover, his original family is far worse than ours, and it is not easy for him to do it on his own."
"He was only 16 years old at the time, how could he risk his life to fight? When our children are 16 years old, they all have to rely on their parents to support them." Unconsciously, Gu Bingming and his wife began to be interested in Geng Wenyang.
Hearing that Geng Wenyang had earned no less than 100,000 yuan by writing martial arts, Qian Zhongyan admired and said, "I really can't compare to you, I can't write like this."
Geng Wenyang said modestly, "Teacher Qian, I can't write the prose you wrote, let's talk about each other."
Seeing that he treated people so humbly, Qian Zhongyan couldn't help but feel good and said, "Geng Wenyang, to be honest, I am really far inferior to you in terms of literary attainments and historical knowledge. If you go to university, I think you can study liberal arts, such as literature, history and philosophy, these are quite suitable for you. Science is more difficult, I think you should forget it."
Geng Wenyang only laughed at his opinion. In his previous life, he was a graduate of chemical engineering with a major in engineering. Although he deals with the principles of chemical engineering, physical chemistry and the three transmissions and anti-communication all day long, he not only loves history and geography, but also has a good literary level.
As he often used to laugh at himself, "I am one of the best writers among chemical engineers, and one of the people who know the most about chemical engineering among online writers."
Since Qian Zhongyan mentioned the difficulty of liberal arts and sciences, Geng Wenyang is waiting to perform well in front of his future parents-in-law, and now said: "Actually, science is not necessarily difficult."
The biggest difference between arts and sciences is mathematics, of course, not high school mathematics, but compulsory courses for science and engineering majors: advanced mathematics, probability theory and mathematical statistics, and linear algebra.
Almost all contemporary science and engineering disciplines are based on the basic study of mathematics. Whether it is a formula or a theorem, without exception, it is a result of complex mathematical analysis.
Therefore, many professional courses in science and engineering are completely based on mathematical models. People who don't understand mathematics encounter these courses are tantamount to listening to books from heaven, and they can't learn them at all.
For example, the three major mechanics that many science and engineering majors must learn are entirely composed of abstract mathematical models. It is difficult to understand and difficult to master, and it can be described as one of the most brain-dead professional courses. Every class of students in various colleges and universities have made up the exam or even failed to complete the course because of this, which is one of the most difficult subjects hated by previous students.
However, some science and engineering majors have simple mathematical requirements and are relatively not so difficult to learn, such as architecture, water supply and drainage, and HVAC.
Geng Wenyang talked about the difference between arts and sciences, and talked about the difficulty of university courses and subjects, as well as the future development trend of science and technology, and even talked a lot about the research direction of cutting-edge technologies in the 21st century.
After some high-minded talk, Gu Bingming and his wife were impressed by him. This guy is not only familiar with astronomy and geography, but also knows modern science and technology well, and even has his own unique views on the evolution of the future world pattern.
"Isn't Geng Wen a junior high school student, how can he know so much?" Gu Bingming and his wife were secretly surprised: "With this kid's profound knowledge, although I know that he is a junior high school student, how can I think that he is more like a university than the current college students
Produce some."
Gan Ruolan looked at her parents' stunned expressions on the side, and couldn't help but whisper, "Now you know how powerful Wen Yang is, right? Can the person your daughter fancy be an ordinary person?"
However, just based on Geng Wenyang's boasting, Gan Rui will definitely not easily change his impression. In addition, he is a professor of the Chinese Department of Zheng'er Bajing, who studies classical literature, and said politely at the moment: "Xiao Geng, since you can write martial arts, then let me ask you a few literary questions, can you answer them?"
Geng Wenyang said in his heart: "This is the mother-in-law who wants to test the aunt."
"No problem, Auntie, just say it." Geng Wenyang said stiffly.
Gan Rui frowned and thought for a while and said, "It's not difficult for me to ask you about the Spring Festival couplets without asking about those esoteric things. Spring Festival couplets are posted in every house, you have to know something about this, right?"
Geng Wenyang nodded and said, "Well, I understand a little."
"That's good!" Gan Rui saw him in the hub, and couldn't help laughing: "Then I'll go out of the upper link, and you will come to the lower link." Don't worry, what I have come out of is a famous couplet through the ages, you don't need to use your brain to get it right, as long as you have seen it, you can say the next couplet."
"I'll start with a simple one." Gan Rui cleared his throat and said slowly, "Qingshan is fortunate to bury the bones of his loyalty."
Geng Wenyang hurriedly said, "White Iron is innocent of the ministers. This is a couplet from the Yue Wang Temple on the edge of the West Lake."
"Hmph, you know a lot." Gan Rui sneered and said, "The sea is tolerant of all rivers."
"If you have no desire, you will be strong!" Geng Wenyang said, "This is a couplet written by Lin Zexu."
"It's coming!" Gan Rui said loudly: "The cool air comes from the west, and the clouds and mist sweep away the world and regret."
Everyone was shocked when this couplet came out. Gu Bingming and Gan Ruolan were naturally at a loss and didn't know how to answer, and even Qian Zhongyan put a big question mark in his mind: "What kind of couplet is this?" I've never heard of it."
Geng Wenyang said unhurriedly: "Go to the east of the big river, and the waves will wash away the sorrows of the past and the present!"
He then explained: "This is a couplet written by Su Shi after he arrived at the Yellow Crane Tower in Wuchang. Auntie, am I right?"
Gan Rui was a little proud when he saw that he answered correctly again and again, and said disdainfully: "Don't be happy too early, listen to this: hold the galaxy with your bare hands, and the public will be famous in the universe."
"The green mountains bury the bones, where do I come to hang the heroes." Geng Wenyang said: "This is a couplet written by Mr. Yang Ming when he paid tribute to the national hero Yu Qian."
Gan Rui saw that he couldn't get him, and he had an idea: "You listen to this couplet: where there is a will, it can be done, the cauldron is broken, and the one hundred and two Qin Passes belong to Chu after all."
"This is Mr. Pu Songlin's pair, and there is this couplet in his memorial hall." Geng Wenyang said catchily: "The next link is: hard-working people, the sky does not pay, lying on the salary and tasting the gall, three thousand Yuejia can swallow Wu."
Gu Bingming heard it well, and couldn't help but clap his hands and say, "Okay! It's a good 3,000 Yuejia to swallow Wu!"
