Chapter 878

On the second day of Christmas, it snowed rarely in Jinling.

Although there is nothing to look forward to, but because Christmas reminds us of Santa Claus, land boat reminds us of the fireplace of the house he used to live in Princeton. When it snows in New Jersey, he will move his work place from the study to the living room, sit on the carpet in front of the fireplace with his back against the sofa, and let his thoughts fly The universe and the exploration of truth.

Although it is far from the age of nostalgia.

But looking at the snowflakes falling outside the window, the boat did miss it.

Sitting in the living room, holding the soup bag with chopsticks and dipping it in the vinegar dish sprinkled with ginger, he then stuffed it into his mouth and looked out at the silver white hanging on the dwarf pine tree. Suddenly he said without any sign.

"I'm going to have a fireplace at home."

Wang Peng, standing in the living room, looked around and asked thoughtfully.

"Is it a lack of heating?"

Lu Zhou glanced at him strangely: "your thinking is very strange. Why do you have to be cold to install a fireplace?"

Slightly stunned, Wang Peng made a helpless expression, "I just casually asked Is there anything I can do for you? "

"That's not necessary, unless you tell me that you can build walls," said Lu

Although it's just a joke, I didn't expect Wang Peng to take it seriously. After thinking about it for a while, he replied solemnly.

"There are experts in this field from the general manager."

Lu Zhou: " Are you ding dong? "

There's everything.

Wang Peng: "...?"

In the end, Lu Zhou didn't bother the general participants in the fireplace business. Instead, he contacted the decoration design company that decorated the Jinling Institute of higher learning and asked them to help complete all the work from design to installation.

After all, there is no need to occupy national resources for such trifles.

One of the two things that land boats don't particularly like is to trouble others, and the other is to fight for a small thing.

Work is work. Apart from being relatively smart and handsome, he never thinks he is different from others and needs such excessive special care.

If other people can treat him as ordinary people, he will feel more relaxed.

And maybe that's one of the reasons why he's single so far.

After receiving the call from Lu Zhou, the decoration design company can be said to attach great importance to it.

Although it's just a fireplace compared with tens of millions of large projects, it's just a small business that can't be smaller, but the decoration design company still has the highest level of professional level and attitude. Almost the same day, the designer and project team were sent to the home of the land boat, and several alternative design drawings and quotations were made before that night It was sent to the land boat.

Among them, there are Victorian style, modern simple style, and the relatively Retro Red brick classical style. A total of 15 design schemes are all designed according to the decoration layout of the living room itself, and even each design scheme is accompanied by a set of hand-made sheep hair carpet.

Looking at those cost-effective design schemes that people don't even want to bargain with, Lu Zhou even doubts that he can't make money in this business, or even lose money.

Although I didn't ask for the price increase from the standpoint of a consumer, I couldn't help but open my mouth when I saw the offer of carpet less than 5000 yuan.

"Is it really OK to be so cheap?"

The little sister, who was in charge of the business negotiation with Lu Zhou, said politely and warmly with a smile that met the social expectations.

"No problem. You can rest assured. You are an important partner of our company. Of course, we will not pit you. It has always been our company's business philosophy to bring the best service to our customers at the lowest price, and the cost performance of our products is also one of our company's core competitiveness, I believe you will feel this soon. "

Looking at the offer and discount under the design scheme with a little headache, Lu Zhou pinched his eyebrows and asked, "I may be a little too good at mathematics What's the ghost of buying a 3588 decoration package with 20000 pieces of silk hand-made wool carpet and 5888 wall decorations? "

Miss salesman Yingying said with a smile, "this is our preferential price."

Lu Zhou: "..."

What kind of discount is NIMA!

However, when people want to make a loss business, it's not easy to stop the land boat. After hesitating for a while, which design scheme they like best.

“…… That's it. "

After confirming the design scheme selected by Lu Zhou, the salesgirl made a tick at the bottom of the picture with her pen, then looked at Lu Zhou politely and continued.

"OK, we will install it for you in the shortest time. When will it be convenient for you?""I can do it all. The construction time will be arranged in the afternoon..." He said that Lu Zhou looked at Wang Peng standing beside the sofa. "Do you have time these afternoon?"

Wang Peng's answer is as reliable as ever.

"I have time 24 hours a day."

Lu Zhou nodded and continued to look at the salesman's little sister.

"Then every afternoon from two to six How long does it take to install? "

Miss salesgirl smiled and gave a number.

"Three days at the latest."

In fact, the ship didn't wait for the third day at all. From the day after signing the contract, the whole fireplace had been installed before the evening of the third day.

Politely declined the proposal of the salesman's little sister to pave the floor heating pipe for his home free of charge, paid 4000 yuan for the land boat after the final payment, politely sent the decoration company's people to the outside of the hospital, and after returning home, they couldn't wait to put the smoke-free charcoal bought from the sea into it, which ignited the fire.

Sitting on the wool carpet, leaning against the sofa, listening to the fire crackling and feeling the warm light, the boat yawned lazily, feeling ready to fall asleep at any time.

"Comfortable..."

He had a good stretch. Just as he was going to take a nap, the ring of his cell phone suddenly rang.

When he saw the name in the caller ID, Lu Zhou immediately pressed the connect button and put the mobile phone to his ear.

Before he could even speak, the familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Are you busy this year, boat?"

"It's OK, not as busy as last year," continued Lu Zhou after a half second pause with a relaxed smile. "Mom, you and dad are over there in Jiangling. How are you doing?"

Hearing this "Ma", Fang Mei at the other end of the phone, the crow's feet in the corner of her eyes, said with a smile.

"Don't worry about your parents. We're fine. Your father will be retired in a few years. Now he has nothing to do when he is idle in the company. He just drinks tea and reads newspapers every day. It's not that I urge him to run and exercise every day. Now I can't figure out how to get fat. I'm just calling to hear your voice. I didn't disturb your work, did I? "

Lu Zhou said with a smile, "why? Work is not as important as you. "

Fang Mei said, "don't say that. You are in the rising stage of your career. You don't need to focus on me and your father. We don't need children to worry about our bodies. But I hope you are busy or busy, but don't be too tired to yourself. Your body is always the first thing. No matter how important things are, your body is not as important By the way, are you busy around the new year? If you are busy, your father and I will take care of you. "

"No, you don't have to. I said I'm not busy!" I heard that my father and mother were going to take care of themselves and didn't want to give them any trouble. "This year is just in time to be free at the end of the year. It's hard to do anything. I'd better come back for the new year."

Fang Mei sighed and said, "you are very kind, but you are very polite."

Lu Zhou can't cry or laugh.

"Mom, what you said You and I are welcome what? It's just that I haven't been back home for so many years. I'm really homesick. Anyway, you don't have to buy tickets. I'll drive back at the festival this year. "

Although research is important, it can't be more important than family.

What's more, the research of Riemann conjecture can't be completed in a single day. Just after the problem of quasi Riemann conjecture in this century has been solved, he also needs some time to relax, organize his thoughts and change his mind by the way.

Of course, the most important thing is that parents are also old. If they have time, of course, Lu Zhou would like to go back to the reunion.

As for the work of moon orbit construction committee, everything is in accordance with the plan, and there is no need for his general consultant to make special arrangements.

If there is a need to adjust the plan, or if something unexpected happens, he will naturally put down what he has at hand and return to the first line of the scientific research front to perform his duties.

Make sure that there is no meaning of embarrassment in the sound of the boat, Fang Mei just shows a relaxed smile.

If she could, of course, she would like her son to go home for the new year. Although their son has developed well in Jinling and lived in a big house in a big city, for them who have lived in Jiangling for a lifetime, here is their root, their relatives and friends are here, and only here is the real life.

So even though Lu Zhou has mentioned moving to Jinling for many times, they have never agreed.

"Come back, mom will make dumplings for you. Don't be busy with your work all day Ah, I used to let you study hard for a better future. Your father and I didn't expect it to be like this. My dad and I can't help you with math. I just hope you don't stay in the lab all day and order takeout. If you have time, you'd better go out more and contact other people. "Lu Zhou coughed softly and said, "I have to correct it. Don't believe what is filmed in the documentary. Now, whether it's studying mathematics or physics, it's also about contacting people..."

It only worked in the past.

Now even if it is a land boat, it is impossible to completely cut off the contact with the outside world. At least arXiv and several commonly used literature databases must be used.

Fang Mei: "no matter what, you'll have a good life. Your father and I are all at this age. We have no other hope except to have a grandson earlier."

Lu Zhou Khan said: "this Let's talk about it later. There must be some. "

It seems that she smiled with no expectation. Fang Mei said something like comforting Lu Zhou and herself.

"I hope..."

Lu Zhou: "..."

Although I know that I don't want to put too much pressure on myself, but I don't know why. Hearing this "I hope", inexplicably makes him feel special heartache
