took a month's long vacation in the unit, coupled with the Spring Festival holiday that followed, Chen Muwu's time suddenly became abundant.

After returning home, he told his eldest brother the news that he was going to lecture at Shao University, and Chen Muqiao was very happy after hearing it.

"I support you in making this decision, and being invited to give a lecture by Shao University, the best university in China, shows that the academic community has begun to slowly open its doors to you, and you must cherish this opportunity and prepare well.

"If you find that lecturing is actually quite a good profession, the door of our Nanyang University will be open for you at any time, and you will always have a desk place."

It seems that Chen Muqiao still has great thoughts about inviting his third brother to teach in his school.

At the family dinner table in the evening, the old lady of the Chen family learned that her youngest son, who had left his hometown and went to school in the north for four years, was now going out again, and her face was immediately full of unhappiness.

After Chen Muwu patted his chest and said that he would only go for half a month, and under the repeated persuasion of his eldest brother Chen Muqiao, the old lady nodded reluctantly.

The second brother Chen Muping is worthy of being the manager of the money village, and his attention is really focused on the money, he privately told the third brother to inquire clearly, don't be deceived, where did Shao Da get such a large amount of money to pay him.

Chen Muwu was helpless, returned to his room and turned out Hu Shi's handwritten letter and telegram, Chen Muping looked upside down for a long time, still suspicious.

The twenties of the twentieth century coincided with a small cold wave of several decades, and the winters were much colder than a hundred years later.

Fortunately, the winter clothes that Chen Muwu wore for four years when he was in school did not lose them, but were packed into the attic box by his sister-in-law.

He originally planned to wear these clothes to the north, but was stopped by his eldest brother Chen Muqiao again: "You are now a gentleman who is going to give a lecture, you must not wear the cotton robes and cotton shoes worn by these student brothers, but you should wear a suit and tie, and dress more solemnly." ”

There was no way, Chen Muwu could only tearfully accept the full set of internal and external clothes, hats, girves, gloves, leather shoes and other bits and pieces that his eldest brother bought from Yongan Company at his own expense.

If it weren't for the lack of time, Chen Muqiao wanted to take his younger brother to the well-known Red Gang tailor in the beach to order a few suits.

Chen Muwu was in a trance a few times occasionally, how good it was to be the son of Zhong Mingding's family like this, why did he have to work thanklessly to study Raushzi's physics!

But his thoughts are fleeting every time, his head is full of knowledge that is a hundred years ahead of this world, if he doesn't do anything, it will really be like entering the treasure mountain and returning empty-handed, no different from living in vain!

After the luggage was almost packed, Chen Muwu returned to the railway bureau again and bought all the northbound train tickets from the internal window.

During the period of the People's Republic of China, it is true that the railway capacity is tight, and it is often impossible to buy tickets, but that is only for ordinary people who queue up at the window to buy the cheapest third-class tickets.

As an employee of the Railway Bureau, if Chen Muwu can't buy a ticket, won't it become a joke?

Mrs. Chen felt sorry for her youngest son, and specially told the boss to give him money, so that Chen Muwu had to buy a first-class ticket and a sleeping car all the way.

Not to mention that everyone wants the youngest son of the local owner's family, his personal experience proves that the youngest son of the local owner's family is really cool.

Chen Muwu thought about it carefully, it seems that every time the original owner went to college and went to home, he always had the treatment of a first-class round-trip car.

The three first-class tickets, together with the night's fare for the sixteenth, added up to nearly sixty oceans.

Compared with Lu Xun's house, these tickets seem to be very expensive.

But compared with the cost of sending letters abroad, he suddenly felt that it was not so expensive.

Now that the luggage had been prepared and the tickets had been bought, Chen Muwu went to the telegraph office again and took a telegram to Hu Shi, informing him that he would take the special express train on the morning of the 16th to the north, and if all the way was punctual according to the timetable, he would arrive at the Zhengyangmen East Station in Shaojing at 10:60 p.m. on the 17th.

This is the fastest transfer method on the entire Shanghai-Nanjing, Jinpu and Beijing-Feng railway lines, although it takes more than an hour to wait for the train at Pu Yan Station, it is still nearly 12 hours faster than another slow train on the same line.

After the telegram was sent, in the blank time before the departure, an unexpected person came to the door.

Zhang Naiyan, the third Chinese who attended a seminar on the theory of relativity at the lecture hall of the Ministry of Industry on the evening of New Year's Day, except for Chen Muwu and Zhao Junhao, suddenly visited her home on 15 January.

He first read the "Declaration", found the Lianglu Railway Administration, and learned that Chen Muwu had taken a long vacation, and then inquired about the address of Chen's Mansion from the Administration.

As mentioned earlier, Shao University often delayed three or four months to pay half a month's salary last year, so Zhang Naiyan, who was a chemistry professor at Shao University, also imitated his own family Zhang Jiying's "thoughts of perch" and came to abandon his job and return to his hometown.

Zhang Naiyan returned to Linghai for a few months, and after some operation, his family made him become the new president of the Jiangjiang Provincial Education Association.

Zhang Naiyan was worried about what he would do to establish his prestige, so he saw another piece of news in the "Declaration": "Mr. Chen Hanchen will go to Shao University to give lectures for two weeks: A few days ago, Mr. Chen Hanchen, a rookie in China's science who was praised by the great scientist Dr. Ernstein, will go north to give lectures at Shao University for two weeks at the invitation of Hu Shizhi, a professor of the Department of Philosophy of Shao University. It is reported that Shao Da offered Chen Hanchen a high remuneration of 100 yuan for two and five weeks, which was almost equivalent to Dr. Enstein. ”

Chen Muwu, who doesn't like to read newspapers very much, didn't know that there was such a thing.

This is actually his second brother Chen Muping's own opinion, found Zhao Junhao, who wrote the report last time, and told him the news that his younger brother was going to give a lecture at Shao University.

Chen Muping's this is not to gain a false name for his younger brother, but a common practice of people today.

In a wealthy family like theirs, if a child is going abroad to study abroad, the family will spend money in the newspaper to publish a "news of a student who will go abroad on a certain day".

If the child lives up to expectations after studying abroad for a few years and successfully obtains a doctorate, then the family will publish a message with a graduation photo in the newspaper, trumpeting that his family has a foreign doctorate.

Regarding this point, it is estimated that Dr. Fang Hongjian in "The Siege" should have a deep understanding.

Zhang Naiyan read the report of "Declaration" and thought that since Shao Da Neng invited him to give a lecture, then I can naturally do it.

And Chen Muwu is also a native of Jiangjiang, and the two have a friendship with fellow villagers.

In the name of the president of the Jiang Provincial Education Association, he invited him to give a lecture, and Chen Muwu should not refuse it because of his feelings and reason.
