Chapter 295: Today Is a Good Day (Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass!) )
Today is a good day.
As for how good, Li Xiang doesn't know, anyway, Mr. forget it, today is a good day.
Calculate that this day should be opened, coupons, opened, lifted, and beamed.
My parents woke up early in the morning and went out to buy groceries.
Finally, at least three tables of people ate at home.
At nine o'clock, his relatives came over one after another with their things.
Now that Li Xiang is out, these relatives haven't seen Li Xiang for a while, and Li Xiang didn't go home for the Chinese New Year last year.
It's only been a year, and they already feel that Li Xiang is very strange.
This is the big shot.
"Think, ouch, I haven't seen you for more than a year, I'm getting more and more handsome, and I'm looking for a girlfriend like a star."
The aunt, uncle and their daughter's family were the first to arrive, they were Li Xiang's mother's sister and brother-in-law, and the family gave birth to a daughter named Chu Xiaoyue, who was three years older than Li Xiang.
The grades are a little better than Li Xiang, and now it is said that he works as a treasurer in a company.
Chu Xiaoyue heard that her mother would not praise people, so she immediately rolled her eyes and said: "Feifei was originally a star, and "Angel's Kiss" was sung by her. ”
"Ah, stupid, can't speak, don't mind."
"It's okay auntie, come in and sit." Lin Feifei smiled sweetly, relieving the embarrassment.
After a while, the second aunt, uncle, and uncle and second uncle also came over, and more than 20 people sat in the courtyard together, eating melon seeds, eating fruits, and chatting.
And the center of the topic, without exception, is Li Xiang.
Some ask about work, some ask about artificial intelligence, and some ask about Peking University.
In short, the curiosity of the relatives is too strong.
This is already a group of people who were called away by Li Xiang's mother to help in the kitchen.
Li Xiang has a cousin who is a restaurant chef, and he took the initiative to come over to take charge of the cooking at this time.
In short, the house hasn't been so lively for a long time.
After a while, the meal was served.
At noon, the three tables were full, and the taste of the meals was also very good, all of which were home-cooked dishes, no worse than those in the restaurant.
Drink to drink, drink to drink.
Li Xiang and Lin Feifei are also rare, and they salute the elders with wine glasses.
When I came to the uncle, the uncle looked at them and asked, "Xiang'er, when will you two get married?" Uncle is so good to save money for you. ”
"Get married next year."
"Okay, then the uncle will start saving now, and when the time comes, he will wrap a big red envelope for you."
After a round of wine, Li Xiang pretended to be overwhelmed by the strength of the wine, and it was time to drink the drink.
Those who had eaten and drunk too much found a room to sleep in.
Others were idle and a little bored, so they pulled Li Xiang to continue to talk about family work and work. Li Xiang didn't want to continue to be asked questions, so he said to Lin Feifei: "Feifei, take a few of the cards we bought and play them with the uncle, it's okay to sit." ”
"Okay."
Playing cards, everyone's attention was on the game, and Li Xiang was also relieved at this time.
However, the older brothers and sisters of the same generation as Li Xiang, and the younger brothers and sisters also had to pull him to play cards together.
"Okay, let's play two rounds."
Lin Feifei sat next to Li Xiang and watched them play.
"Brother, you are in the provincial capital now, what level are you?"
The second uncle's son is called Qin Tian, only one year older than him, he was very naughty when he was a child, but his academic performance was good, he belonged to the kind of person who was very good at playing, but his grades were the top few in the class.
Li Xiang was often compared to him by everyone when he was a child.
Both of them played together, and as a result, he was in the top ten in his class, and he was in the middle and lower grades.
"Just a normal little policeman."
"Don't be funny, there are no outsiders here, ordinary little policemen, can build such a building in a year?"
Just now they took a tour, built a building and renovated, and this house was smashed into at least three million.
Obviously they don't believe it either, how much does a policeman earn a year?
There are three million?
"It's all about making money from artificial intelligence."
Li Xiang's artificial intelligence is already famous all over the world anyway, and it is normal to make some money, so he simply uses it as a shield.
"By the way, I also want to be a policeman, do you have a way for me to get in?"
"Now you have to take the test every time you enter, according to your level, there should be no problem in getting in."
"Hey, don't mention it, when I said I wanted to apply for the police academy, my father had to let me, and now it is difficult to take the social recruitment exam again, which can be called a single-plank bridge."
"Then you go and become an auxiliary policeman, just like me."
"......" Qin Tian was a little speechless for a while, he wanted to see if he could get on Li Xiang's fast track, but who knew that he actually let himself be an auxiliary policeman: "Don't, I don't have artificial intelligence." ”
At this time, he obviously thought that Li Xiang was transferred to the official establishment by artificial intelligence.
"There is no need, my friend Sun Zhidong, like me, is also an auxiliary policeman, and now he is also a regular officer."
"Forget it."
Thinking of being an auxiliary policeman, Qin Tian shook his head, being an auxiliary police officer is too faceless, he is a dignified person, to be an auxiliary policeman, he can't pull down this face.
Then he changed the topic again, and asked like a question baby: "By the way, how did you come up with artificial intelligence?" It can't be an alien encounter, right? ”
There are many conspirators on the Internet who don't believe that Li Xiang Pheasant University can research the world's most advanced achievements such as artificial intelligence, so they make up a set of theories to justify themselves, among which the highest call is that Li Xiang encountered alien technology, which led to the birth of artificial intelligence.
I have to say that Li Xiang really admires the imagination of netizens, and they really guessed it.
Qin Tian asked at this time, and that was to ask the question that thousands of netizens were most concerned about.
The other siblings stopped playing cards at this time, and stared at Li Xiang, obviously wanting to hear what he had to say.
"Daughter-in-law, here."
Li Xiang didn't answer, but shouted Lin Feifei and pointed to his cheek.
Lin Feifei understood in seconds, and immediately kissed him on the face.
"Yi~" Everyone made the sound of eating dog food, but Li Xiang said with a smile: "The alien has not seen it, but the angel has seen one, and you also saw the angel's kiss just now." ”
Lin Feifei's famous song has a song "Angel's Kiss", at this time Li wanted to talk about this, and everyone suddenly had a feeling of being full.
"Damn, I can't play anymore, I'm scattered, and if I continue to eat, I won't have the stomach to eat dinner."
When playing until three or four o'clock in the afternoon, Li Xiang's father came over: "Don't play yet, pay homage to the Bodhisattva." ”
In the middle hall of the main entrance, the table of eight immortals is placed in the center, and firecrackers and sacrificial fruits, pork and live crucian carp are placed on the table.
There are also axes, and the axes here are called Dai axes in the local dialect, which means that they are rich from generation to generation.
There are also pastries backgammon, which means step by step.
Relatives also put some money on the table, implying that money makes money.
Light candles and incense.
There is a custom here, three incense sticks to worship God, four incense sticks to worship ancestors.
Ancestors are generally worshiped with four sticks of incense, and three sticks are used to worship the Bodhisattva.
Here, Father Li uses three roots.
After a set of procedures, Li Xiang took the crucian carp pot to release the animals.
There is a saying here that in general, the direction in which the fish swims means the direction of the fortune of the coming year.
I don't know if it's a coincidence or what, but the small fish released actually really swam in the direction of the provincial capital.
"It seems that the fortune for the coming year is also very good."
After coming back, everyone was already busy setting off firecrackers, and Lin Feifei came over and took a few candies to Li Xiangdao: "Auntie asked me to help you grab it on the table, she said that she had respected the Bodhisattva and was smart to eat." ”
When Li Xiang heard this, he couldn't cry or laugh: "I'm already so smart, let's eat it and make up for it." ”
"That's right, you're so smart, you don't need to eat."
Lin Feifei, who was just about to eat, suddenly reacted: "No, what does it mean to make up more?" Do you think I'm stupid? ”
"Haha, I didn't say that."
"Li Xiang, you're dead."
After the firecrackers were over, Li's mother prepared some afternoon tea, and they could go back first after eating something at home, leaving some people to continue playing cards.
Tonight they will all be in the warm house until two or three o'clock in the morning, and they will set off firecrackers.
Only after it is finished can the bed at home be straightened.
It is considered to be an official move-in, no disease, no disaster, and no contraindications.
Of course, this is a yearning for a better life of the older generation, and sustenance is not really disease-free.
The next day, the relatives also went back, and the house was quiet again.
Li Xiang is not just playing at home, he has received emails from the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing one after another at home in the past few days.
The code of some modules of artificial intelligence, they are working overtime to meet the construction deadline, and after the development is completed, they will call Li Xiang for review.
If you don't review it as soon as possible, you'll have to continue their development cycle.
What is delayed is the R&D progress of hundreds of people.
So in the past few days, when anyone came to Li Xiang, he also said that he was working from home and it was inconvenient to disturb.
The parents also know that their son is busy now, and they will also stop some unimportant people, so as not to disturb Li Xiang.
However, there are exceptions, on the twenty-sixth day, Li's father went upstairs and called him down.
"Li Xiang, come down, the leaders of the city are here!"
"City leaders?"
Li Xiang was stunned, what are the city leaders doing?
He was puzzled, but he was still ready to come down and take a look, after all, they were the leaders, or the parents of their city, and see what happened to them.
Downstairs, Li Xiang saw a group of five or six people downstairs, and they didn't come empty-handed, bringing a few boxes of fruit and some condolence gift boxes, the person headed by him was Ma Yuhua, a senior official in Jinghai City, who was at the department level, when he was an auxiliary police officer in Jinghai before, he escorted his trip a few times, but he also knew him, and the people who followed him also knew a village director.
Seeing these officials above, Li Xiang could only watch from afar, and he didn't even have the qualifications to go up and say a word, but now it's different.
He is also at the deputy director level now, and he is still the kind that is quick to straighten.
Li Zhongqing promised him that next year, the guidance group would be expanded, and the administrative units would be raised to the level of department heads, and then he would be able to rise to the top of the board.
"Li Xiang, this is Comrade Ma Yuhua, a senior official in the city, who knew that our parents had produced you as an amazing talent, so he specially came to visit."
When the village director saw Li Xiang coming down, he hurriedly introduced him.
"Hello Secretary Ma."
"These are the directors of our Jinghai City Investment Promotion Bureau, the county officials of Jing'an County, the county magistrate and the mayor of Xinqiao Town,......"
The village director introduced the people one by one to Li Xiang.
"Hello."
Li Xiang didn't expect that his own people were sitting at home, and the leaders came to him in advance to pay New Year's greetings.
"I took the liberty to come here, this time, mainly on behalf of my hometown and organization, to express my condolences to the families of our party's outstanding talents!"
In fact, in the name of condolences, they still want to get acquainted with Li Xiang, after all, he is now a hot talent in the country.
Peking University rushed to give him an honorary professor, and Secretary Ma, as an insider, was naturally well-informed.
According to reliable sources, insiders who participated in the year-end summary report and commendation meeting organized by the Provincial Public Security Department also revealed to him a piece of news, that is, Li Xiang is very likely to be promoted to the department level next year, becoming the youngest department level in China.
Such people, how can they not take the initiative to make friends?
As long as Li Xiang has hometown feelings, he can contribute to his hometown to some extent.
"Secretary Ma is polite, come here, why are you bringing so many things, Mom, pour a glass of water for the leaders."
"I'll go." Lin Feifei saw that Li wanted to greet the leader here, and she took the initiative to cooperate with Li's mother to pour water.
"I don't have any good tea at home, so I'm going to drink it." Mother Li took out the tea leaves that entertained the guests at home and poured tea for several leaders.
"Don't pick, drink plain water."
At this time, the leaders were very friendly, Li Xiang also took out peanuts, melon seeds and fruits, and a group of people sat in the living room and chatted.
During the conversation, Li Xiang also heard the meaning of several leaders.
It is nothing more than playing the emotional card, indicating that after he comes out, don't forget to contribute to the construction of his hometown.
That's why they called the leaders of China Merchants as well.
Li Xiang also expressed his understanding that the local government will not let go of an opportunity for the sake of political achievements, especially high-tech talents like Li Xiang.
If......
Suppose that if the artificial intelligence industry related to Li Xiang can help lay out Jinghai City and strive to build a modern Jinghai, then the political achievements will be great.
"There will be a chance later."
Returning to his hometown to make a contribution must be done, but not now, his main focus now is still on development, and Jinghai's platform is too small.
Secretary Ma didn't expect to bring some fruit over today to win Li Xiang, the main thing was to recognize the door and make an eye to facilitate the next dealing.
They hadn't been sitting at home for long, and they were going to the next stop.
It is said that he went to the home of a veteran party member who has been in the party for 55 years to offer condolences.
After the leader left, the village director stayed behind and continued to chat with Li's father: "Your ancestral grave is smoking, Li Xiang is really promising, and the senior city officials have come to visit in person." ”
The village chief was also surprised, it was the first time he had met a high-ranking city official.
When he received a call from the mayor and asked him if Li Xiang had come back, he was a little surprised, the mayor actually cared about Li Xiang, and after receiving a positive answer, the mayor asked him to do a good job of leading the way.
When he finally saw Secretary Ma, he realized that it was not the mayor of the town who wanted to meet, but the senior city officials who wanted to meet, and even the leaders of the county party committee accompanied him and came over together.
What kind of face is this?
That's enough to write in the county annals.
"It's all the result of his own efforts, this kid has suffered a lot before, but he didn't tell us, he carried it alone in Jinghai, but fortunately, he fought for his own strength and finally survived."
"Yes, your son is promising, you are so blessed."
