I Am the Light of Science and Technology - Chapter 10

     National Treasure Scientist in the 1970s

“…What? You still want to interview Baizhi, but that’s not good! The Brigade Leader said, we must give Baizhi a quiet research environment!”

“But you can interview Uncle Shuan Min, who is Baizhi’s grandfather. Baizhi has only this grandfather as her family!”

 ***

For several days, Li Shuanmin was very proud, and his whole figure seemed to be ten years younger.

No matter where he goes, he gets praised, and the people in the commune and the county town give him a lot of respect and are friendly and amiable.

The county magistrate personally gave him the award, and then said that this is how people should educate children.

“Little Zhi, grandpa really can’t believe all of this…” Li Shuanmin’s eyes were red, “Being able to see how promising you are, grandpa will be satisfied even if he dies now!”

“Grandpa, don’t say such things, it will be better in the future, grandpa follows me. Let’s take a look at it together.” Baizhi said softly.

The original owner missed her grandfather very much, and being able to make Li Shuanmin live well was the original owner’s first wish.

“Okay!” Li Shuanmin’s eyes turned even redder, but the corners of his mouth were full of smiles, “Little zhi, it would have been great if your parents were still alive, they would have been very happy that you were able to do this!”

Thinking of his son who died early along with his daughter-in-law, Li Shuanmin wiped the corners of his eyes.

In the past, he had to support the family and never showed his sadness and vulnerability.

But now, while Baizhi’s achievements brought tears to his eyes, he could also relax a little, revealing the hidden sadness and fragility.

“Grandpa, we are fine, we will be better in the future.” Baizhi lightly patted Li Shuanmin’s back.

“Hey!” Li Shuanmin wiped away his tears and smiled lovingly again, his face full of pride.

Such a powerful girl is his granddaughter!

His granddaughter really gave him a long face!

Now they are being commended everywhere. In the past, they were scolded and disliked because they used to have several acres of land. Now they are welcomed wherever they go, with certificates and bonuses. Even his son and daughter-in-law are remembered by others, and praised.

He is not so sad anymore.

Li Shuanmin seems to be ten years younger, the atmosphere of Baizhi’s house became warm, but the atmosphere of Li Dazhu’s house turned very bad.

It was a very honorable thing for Li Xiangxiang to be admitted to Beijing Normal University, but with Baizhi’s comparison by her side, Li Xiangxiang’s brilliance was instantly overwhelmed.

Besides, the two families have a strong hatred, and the things their family once did were slowly being dug up, and they were now being despised by others.

“Why were you bragging about Jingcheng University that time? Look, they all know that Jingcheng University is so powerful now!” Chen Guifang raised her hand and poked her daughter’s forehead with annoyance on her face.

She has always been doting on this daughter who earns her face, but recently she has been a little unpleasant.

They had nothing to brag about!

Li Xiangxiang lowered her head and said nothing, her eyes full of annoyance.

In that scene at that time, she mentioned Jingcheng University and Gu Xinchen, all just to save face for herself, so that the people in the village would not dare to look down on them.

But she never expected that Li Baizhi would be recruited by Jingcheng University!

That is Jingcheng University! How did she get such good luck from? !

Li Dazhu took two puffs of dry cigarettes, he frowned and suddenly asked, “Xiangxiang, why didn’t you fill in the application for Jingcheng University when you filled out your application?”

Li Xiangxiang paused slightly, but still didn’t speak.

What to say?

Could she tell her parents that it was absolutely impossible for her to be admitted to Jingcheng University with her grades.

Gu Xinchen had analyzed it for her earlier, and it was also a matter of luck that she could be admitted to Beijing Normal University, and only this university could she give a try for.

Jingcheng University?

That she didn’t even dare to think about it!

Li Xiangxiang didn’t speak, but third Li brother spoke up –

“Oh, why else? She couldn’t score well in the exam. When she was studying in the commune, her grades were worse than that of Li Baizhi. Li Baizhi can pass the exam, but she can pass it differently. “

“Third brother?!” Li Xiangxiang stared at the third Li, unable to believe it. Why did the third brother who spoiled her become so sharp and mean?

“Third brother, don’t hurt Xiangxiang’s heart!” First Li stared at the third Li brother.

“What’s the matter? I can’t say it ? If it wasn’t for her, why would we go to trouble Li Baizhi, and how could I be like this?!”  Third Li tapped on his leg, his face gloomy.

He has changed, and his disability has made him violent and indiscriminate.

“It’s clear you wanted to do it!” Li Xiangxiang couldn’t believe it, “If you didn’t want to trouble Li Baizhi, how could I convince you, and how could you be like this…” So embarrassing.

Not only did they fail to trouble Baizhi, but they also put themselves in a mess!

Li Xiangxiang was also angry when she thought about it.

It would be fine if they had succeeded in the first place, but they did not succeed!

“If it wasn’t for you, why would we go? Especially the matter of burning the admission ticket. You said that if I burn her admission ticket, she would not be able to take the college entrance examination!” Third Li looked at Li Xiangxiang with a gloomy face.

He was so thin that he looked terrifying.

Li Xiangxiang couldn’t help but take two steps back, horrified.

“Son, don’t say these words, you will have to rely on Xiangxiang in the future…” Chen Guifang pinched third Li.

She loves her daughter, but cares more about her son.

“How dare she ignore us! We are like this because of her. If she ignores us, then we will be haunting her!” Third Li looked at Li Xiangxiang with a sinister look.

At that moment, Li Xiangxiang felt as if she was entangled by a poisonous snake and fell to the ground.

How has her brother changed like this?

How did things get like this?

Why has everything changed?!

“No—it can’t be like this! I will go look for Brother Xinchen! He must have a way!” Li Xiangxiang rushed out suddenly.

“Xiangxiang!” The girl had already run away.

“Uncle Shuanmin? It’s Uncle Shuanmin!”

“Uncle Shuanmin, come here, come here!”

“Uncle Shuanmin, here’s some boiled potatoes, come and take one Uncle Shuanmin.”

“Drink water, Shuanmin Grandpa.”

Li Shuanmin received an extremely warm welcome as soon as he walked into the village.

“Thank you, thank you.” Li Shuanmin smiled brightly, his mouth split open and his eyes narrowed into slits.

Li Shuanmin, who has always been excluded in the village, is now being treated extremely well.

“You’re welcome, who doesn’t know about your Baizhi in the commune now? Uncle Shuanmin, you can teach people, that’s why your Baizhi is so powerful, and was recruited by Jingcheng University at a young age!”

“Speaking of which, what is Baizhi doing at home?”

Li Shuanmin with a smile, said, “I don’t understand things when it comes to scientific research.”

“Oh, yes, how can we understand then?  Uncle Shuanmin, will Baizhi engage in scientific research in the future? How are the work points calculated? Is the salary very high??” Someone was curious about this.

Li Shuanmin’s smile grew brighter, and he cleared his throat: “Cough, cough… Salary…”

Everyone looked at him, eager and curious.

“The two people who continued to stay in the village from the Academy of Sciences said that they were working for the country, and the country would not treat her badly at all. Not only did they give her small house to stay in the capital, but they didn’t treat her badly at all!” Li Shuanmin’s voice became loud enough for everyone to hear. .

“Really?! They gave her a house in the capital?!” The villagers were shocked.

What a treat!

House is given, wages are going to be given and so on, what is there to worry about?

“Yeah, scientific research, that’s for the benefit of the country and the people, and the country won’t treat her badly!” Li Shuanmin couldn’t help stammering.

“Uncle Shuanmin, can you go to the capital with Baizhi in the future?!” Someone hurriedly asked.

Compared with Li Dazhu’s family going to the capital in the future, it was a bit far away. Baizhi going to the capital and staying in the house was much closer. If the house is provided, couldn’t she still bring her grandfather to live in the capital? !

“I don’t want to go. It’s good to live in a house in our village, but Little Zhi said, I’ve worked hard all my life, and it’s time to enjoy happiness. She will buy me a bigger house in the future, so that I can live happily in the capital… “Li Shuanmin grinned to the back of his head.

Everyone looked envious.

At this time, Li Xiangxiang passed by.

Someone stopped her: “Xiangxiang! Li Xiangxiang!”

Li Xiangxiang paused.

“Baizhi said that if you go to the capital, you will be given a house. Do you also get to have a place to stay like a house when you go to Normal University?” Someone asked.

Li Xiangxiang pursed her lips instantly.

What house do students get?

If Li Baizhi gets one, it must be because she also joined the Academy of Sciences at the same time along with a university!

But how can she say no?

So, Li Xiangxiang twitched the corners of her mouth: “Being a student you will be given a place to stay…”

“Oh my god! As expected, college students are amazing, not only do they work well and earn high wages, but they are also give houses in the city! It’s really amazing!”

“I must go back and pinch my boy to study hard!”

“They must study well and be like Baizhi and Xiangxiang, who are both admitted to the capital!”

“Xiangxiang is not as good as Baizhi, but it’s okay.”

“If my son can also be admitted to Jingcheng University in the future, then I can wake up laughing from a dream!”

Li Xiangxiang felt very uncomfortable. She was admitted to university because she had passed. But because of Baizhi, she can only get the evaluation of “it’s okay”…

At this time, the Brigade Leader and the others passed by, and when they heard the words, they smiled and said, “There are more such people like Baizhi. Let the children study hard and do well. Work hard, we are going to build a primary school in our village! In the future, let the children learn from Baizhi and be admitted to Jingcheng University! Be a scientist!”

“What?! We are going to build a primary school in our village?!”

The Brigade Leader nodded: “Yes, The county town leader said that talents like Baizhi can be produced in our village, which means that the educational atmosphere in the village is still good, and the next generation must be nurtured in advance to contribute to the construction of the motherland! Therefore, they agreed to build a primary school and gave us funds.”

“Oh my god! The leaders agreed to build an elementary school because of Baizhi. She is just too powerful!”

“Or should our elementary school be called Baizhi Elementary School? In this way, the children in the village can learn from Baizhi!”

“I think it should…”

   ***

Li Xiangxiang couldn’t listen any longer and walked forward with her teeth gritted.

When passing by Baizhi’s house, she glared fiercely when she saw that the door was open.

Just right then, Baizhi looked up, and the two looked at each other.

Baizhi raised her eyebrows slightly.

Li Xiangxiang: “Li, Bai, Zhi! Don’t be complacent, I tell you, I called Brother Xinchen. He said that if you can enter Jingcheng University, it does not mean that you can’t be kicked out!”

Baizhi looked at her and blinked and blinked again.

Li Xiangxiang’s voice was full of jealousy and sarcasm: “Look at how they blow you up with fame like this now, when you get out of Jingcheng University, what kind of face will you have! Brother Xinchen is the young master of the Gu family, if he wants you to leave. It’s too easy to kick you out of Jingcheng University!”

Baizhi’s mouth twitched slightly, she opened her mouth slightly, and spit out a word lightly –

“Oh.”

Li Xiangxiang: “…” What’s with this reaction?!

She was trembling with anger, “Don’t you understand what I’m talking about? I tell you, Brother Xinchen will definitely get you kicked out of Jingcheng University! I’ll see what face you have at that time!”

Baizhi still had the same expression. Then she spit out two words in a calm and gentle manner –

“You are really sour.”

Li Xiangxiang: “…” She vomited blood!
