Chapter 568: Taking Down
Universities now, even higher institutions like Jingcheng University, actually don't have very high personal quality for the worker-peasant-soldier students recommended. After all, students come from all over the country, and the admitted people also have to consider the distribution of various places, so there are quite a few talents who are junior high school students. However, these people actually all have numbers; no matter how they came, their quality might not be high, but they all have self-study. Calculating this way, everyone is basically of high school culture.
No matter what, Jingcheng University is for cultivating top-notch talents, so even if the personal quality of students is low, it should always be on the same level, so that it is easy to educate.
Actually, Wang Yan's current academic qualification is only junior high school. He was born in 1952 in this world, and when classes were suspended, he had just entered junior high school. As for his own real talent and learning, that's another matter.
As he said, his university life is no different from going to work. He exercises as usual every morning, has breakfast at the Su family, sets off on his bicycle after seven o'clock, goes to school to be his genius, conquers professors and classmates, and pedals his bicycle home after four o'clock in the afternoon. He neither leaves too early nor returns too late.
It made the Su family feel very strange, inquiring about what the situation was, hoping it wasn't that he couldn't keep up with the learning progress and gave up. As a result, once Wang Yan opened his mouth, it was about this expert, that professor, and even said he participated in computer research. The Su family didn't understand, anyway, they just listened to those people whose names were bigger than the others. When they looked back and inquired, they were indeed all tough people. They didn't know the specifics, and seeing Wang Yan speak so well, they were half-believing and that was that.
Wang Yan certainly didn't fool the Su family; he was really that awesome. His own situation was a bit special, specially approved by the leaders. Although at the top, people might just casually give such an aspiring youth an opportunity, but at the bottom, it was different, and they still cared for him quite a bit.
Then, of course, he had to show his ability, so he became a genius who could be considered a genius, naturally mixed into the computer R&D group to do odd jobs, and at the same time learned knowledge from professors. One can be a genius, but not a genius who achieves success overnight. Because only he himself knew that he was never a genius; all his everything was accumulated by himself scratching his ears and cheeks, and it was a gift of time.
Now it is still the early stage of computer development, and it has only been two years since the success of the million-time integrated circuit. At such a level, Wang Yan can provide dual guidance in theory and practice. No matter how useless his hands-on ability is, it is relative to his theoretical level. It is just because he has always been a leader, and specific hands-on ability is not necessary. And even at his current level, if he were really left in a primitive society, as long as there is enough time, he could start from scratch and work his way to the industrial era he is in now.
He wants to use the few years before the spring breeze blows all over the land to first produce some results, mix out a status in the academic world, and then take people to engage in his own balanced ternary system.
The route of science and technology is different. He will not use his personal power to hijack the country's development. Although he has played binary quite clearly, there are still more possibilities. There are also other quantum, photonic, biological, etc. computers, which are also what he has been researching. He has never put all his eggs in one basket on the balanced ternary system, but now the technical level he controls, ternary is far beyond binary.
He doesn't care about failure, doesn't care about taking the wrong path, doesn't need to seek knowledge and explore like walking on thin ice—this is his greatest advantage in doing research...
Time passed like this, and in a blink of an eye, it was October.
This Sunday, taking advantage of the fact that the vast majority of people were resting, the good thing between Wang Yan and Su Meng finally arrived.
Early in the morning, the already lively courtyard became three times livelier.
In the original drama, when Cheng Army Supervisor and Cai Xiaoli got married, they held a banquet in the courtyard, and that was already 1982. Now it is only 1975. When Wang Yan and Su Meng got married, naturally, they couldn't go to a restaurant. It wasn't that they couldn't afford it, but if he could afford it, then something would happen, so they could only hold the banquet in the courtyard.
The preparation work started from the previous day. Sheds were set up in the front and back of the courtyard to block the wind, rain, and sun, and at the same time, a lot of red cloth, red paper, etc. were obtained. Wang Yan's small room was also tidied up, the whole room was bright red, and of course, there was no lack of new quilts made by Han Chunming's mother, and pillows newly stuffed with millet.
The food and drink for the banquet were also purchased according to the menu opened by the master chef of the restaurant that had already been contacted. Because the courtyard was not big and the room was even smaller, the kitchen was set up in the courtyard of Old Lao Guantou's house not far away, and the team brought by the master chef set up big pots there to cook big dishes.
As for other pots, bowls, ladles, basins, tables, and benches, they were borrowed from the courtyard and nearby families, which could be considered a patchwork wedding.
Getting married in this era is not very complicated, because no matter what you do, it is determined by the material basis. In such a social environment, it is difficult to even make something fancy. So, the wedding held under such circumstances was simplified and returned to the essence.
That is, under the witness of relatives and friends of both sides, a pair of men and women form a new family, and relatives and friends congratulate and bless the establishment of such a new family, and by the way, eat and drink well.
People usually don't want to eat and drink, but now they run into relatives and friends getting married. If they don't give a gift, it will be difficult to see each other in the future, so they can only spend money to have a meal and join in the fun.
Wang Yan was wearing a custom-made suit and leather shoes, wearing a tie, and his slightly long hair was also combed back. The whole person looked very spirited.
Thanks to the care of the living father, as his physical attributes improved to this day, his body was extremely good, his skin was extremely good, but his bone structure seemed unchanged. He was still the same as when he sold the house in Dalian, but his temperament was different from the past, plus his pair of eyes that had seen all the vicissitudes of life, which improved people's harmony in looking at him. People rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles. Now that he was dressed up like this, for people who were used to his casual attire in the past, of course, there was a feeling of eyes lighting up.
Su Meng, wearing a bright red Chinese-style dress, with flowers in her hair and gold earrings hanging from her ears, was stunned when she saw Wang Yan appearing in front of her. She nodded with satisfaction and said: "Okay, Master Wang, I really didn't see it before. Now that you've dressed up like this, don't say, it's really quite good-looking."
Wang Yan nodded with a chuckle: "You are also quite beautiful."
"Does that still need you to say, Master Wang?" Cai Xiaoli, who was helping Su Meng put on makeup from the side, laughed: "Su Meng is a famous great beauty. When she was in school, she received love letters every day. Now that she has married you, go and be happy secretly."
"Hi, I've long been happy."
After laughing and joking for a while, Su Meng looked at the seven or eight men moving tables and benches back and forth outside the window: "Who are they all? I saw them come over early in the morning? I wanted to ask you before, but seeing you busy there, I didn't make a sound."
"They are all my friends, the group of people who followed me out to fight when I was young, but now they have all turned over a new leaf. Except for a few individuals, the others all have decent jobs. We are too busy to handle our wedding, so they volunteered to come and help. You must not look at them with colored glasses."
"Am I that kind of person?"
Wang Yan shook his head and smiled: "Alright, you've tidied up, and the time is almost up. Relatives and friends will be here soon, let's go to the door and welcome them."
Su Meng greeted Cai Xiaoli and several other good friends in the room: "Xiaoli, you guys stay here, we're going out."
Cai Xiaoli shook her head: "We'll go over there and help tidy up the dishes. You guys are really grand, setting up so many tables."
Everyone chatted and laughed as they went from the Su family to the outside, and the environment suddenly became noisy.
In the courtyard, Wang Yan's little brothers, as well as Han Chunming, Taozi, and other men, were fiddling with tables, chairs, and benches, and bowls and chopsticks, and Su Grandmother was also directing from the side. I don't know whose children they were, screaming and chasing and playing, and it was extremely noisy.
Arriving at the front yard, Su Meng's parents were standing at the second gate, smiling uncontrollably and talking to the relatives who came early to help. Seeing Su Meng trotting over, Wang Yan waved at Ma Du who was standing at his door, and first went over to meet the Su family's relatives.
The Su family was also a normal family, and there were quite a few relatives and friends. Su Mu's side was relatively simple. Her family members were all gone, leaving only the fat man in the original drama who ran to Hong Kong, who was Su Mu's eldest brother, Su Meng's eldest uncle. Now the situation had not changed, so naturally, he didn't come back, just wrote a letter to say something, and that old kid attached a thousand yuan in the reply letter, which was quite generous. After all, people were doing business outside, and this was small money in people's eyes.
On Su Fu's side, there was an older brother, a younger brother, and an older sister, all living in Jingcheng, and they all came early. The children running on the ground were from their family, while those of the same generation as Su Meng were helping with the tables, or going to Old Lao Guantou's side to help tidy up the dishes.
In this era, every family had quite a few direct blood relatives, and counting neighbors and so on, one family had something to do and a hundred families were busy. Red events, white events, difficult events, were all handled like this.
So Cheng Army Supervisor was also busy back and forth. When Wang Yan was talking to the Su family's relatives and friends and recognizing people, he saw this kid go in and out several times, looking very busy. But he knew this was done for him to see, pretending to be a person.
After meeting the Su family's relatives and friends, Wang Yan returned to his door and patted Ma Du on the shoulder: "Why did you come so early? Your house is far away, it would be enough to catch the time for eating."
Ma Du laughed: "I thought about coming over early to help you, but I didn't expect there to be so many people, and I couldn't even get a hand in."
"If you want to work, there's plenty." Wang Yan pulled him into the room, pointing to a pile of thermos bottles on the ground in the outer room, a pile of teapots on the cabinet, and a basin of cups that had already been scalded: "Take them all to the table, the tea leaves are in that bag, you just serve tea and pour water. There are too many things today, I won't entertain you, if there's no work, just find a place to sit and drink tea, we brothers will talk later."
"Hey, got it, Master Wang, you hurry up and get busy." Ma Du didn't say a word, bared his arms and rolled up his sleeves, and prepared to work.
Patting his arm again, Wang Yan turned and left. The more he was like this, the more Ma Du felt valued, the friendship was deep, and he really didn't treat him as an outsider, they were all his own brothers.
After arranging Ma Du, Wang Yan followed Su Meng and Su Fu and Su Mu to the door to welcome people. Some came early, some came late, all who came were guests, and all had to be welcomed.
Like Han Chunming and Yang Huajian who went to Old Mo with Wang Yan, this time when things were handled, the Su family also knew what Wang Yan was mixed into. Before, Wang Yan wanted to prepare several more tables, but they didn't quite understand. After all, Wang Yan had no relatives or friends, so where did he need so many tables? Now looking at it, maybe Wang Yan was still holding back. They also looked squarely for the first time at why a group of people called Wang Yan Master Wang.
Except for a few people who looked like hooligans, the people who came included cadres from their street, the logistics director of the former Yili Food Factory, and fellow workers. There were even children from large courtyards in military uniforms. Good fellow, after people went in, Wang Yan told them the background, and every mouth was whose father or grandfather was who, all high-ranking officials. In ancient times, they were either dukes or marquises, and they had to be actual titles with founding titles.
Wang Yan had no choice. This time the living father arranged it normally, but the place was wrong. Mixing in the hooligan circle in Jingcheng, it wasn't just that he had contact with so many people. Of course, he wasn't a real hooligan, it was just a name for young men who fought all day and had no proper business. Children from ordinary families fought, and children from official families were the same. Jingcheng was very big, but it wasn't that big. After fighting, didn't they fight together?
In addition to these people, there were classmates who had just entered university, as well as some members of the computer project team. This was pulled by his powerful social ability, and the old professor who led him also took time out of his busy schedule to come.
The interpersonal relationship was very complex, including those in their twenties who were still mixing outside, classmates, second and third generations of high-ranking officials, government cadres, workers, university students, experts, and professors, totaling dozens of people. And this was still holding back, without a very large-scale invitation.
After a simple ceremony, the banquet officially began.
The Su family's relatives and friends, as well as neighbors, were all in the backyard, and Wang Yan's friends were all in the front yard, totaling twenty-four tables. Although the Su family usually had no movement, they didn't say they were face-saving, but they didn't want to have no face. Su Meng had been spoiled since she was a child, of course, she was face-saving, of course, she was vain. Today, the people who came included her classmates, friends, and colleagues, so she certainly wanted to show her face.
Wang Yan was never a stingy person, and he never counted on getting rich by getting married, so the standard of today's banquet was very high. Each table had eight dishes with meat and vegetables, and there was no count of white wine and drinks. If it was good to drink, drink more; if it wasn't good to drink, drink less. Calculating it, the cost of one table had to be twenty-five, twenty-six, twenty-seven. At this time, the gifts were three or five yuan, or they sent something to mean it. After eating this meal, although it wouldn't lose money, it definitely wouldn't make money, basically equivalent to these people who came to give gifts spending money to eat. If calculated this way, attending his wedding was quite affordable...
Coming to this world, Wang Yan basically didn't contact the good friends matched by the living father, until he was about to get married, he told this group of people, so many news were lagging. The relatives and friends on the Su family side were even more so, that is, when notifying before, he roughly said Wang Yan's situation. Naturally, after starting to eat, whether it was the front yard or the backyard, they were all chatting about Wang Yan and Su Meng, including Wang Yan mixing into a Jingda university student.
In the backyard, watching Wang Yan hold a wine glass with Su Meng, following Su Fu and Su Mu, talking and drinking at each table, the ears were full of voices praising Wang Yan and Su Meng, Cheng Army Supervisor ate a mouthful of meat fiercely, he hated...
Cheng Mother knew what her son was thinking, after all, he was scolding Wang Yan at home every day. She pulled her son with annoyance, let him wake up, indicating that many people were watching, and then looked at Cai Xiaoli who was eating beside Han Mu with a smile and asked: "Chunming's mother, look at Wang Yan and Su Meng getting married after being together for a few months. When are you going to handle things? Cai Xiaoli, this girl, is so beautiful, you must handle things quickly, marry her home early and be at ease."
"I would like to let Xiaoli enter the door early, but the conditions don't allow it. We have to solve our family's second son's affairs first. Otherwise, you say, how can we live if Xiaoli enters the door? I'm also annoyed." Han Mu picked up a piece of food for Cai Xiaoli, afraid that she would be embarrassed to do it, and then asked back: "I remember you said you would introduce a girl to Army Supervisor early, and I saw two come to your room before, what's the matter, Army Supervisor, didn't you like them?"
Cheng Mother felt awkward, Cheng Army Supervisor took the words: "This isn't that there is Su Meng in front, and Cai Xiaoli in back. These two people are one more beautiful, virtuous, and cultured than the other. I'm looking for them according to their standards, isn't that why I haven't met them."
"Army Supervisor, this child, has been able to speak since he was a child, look at his mouth." A neighbor from the side interjected, ending such a topic, and continued to eat and drink.
This was Cheng Mother looking for trouble. They all lived in one courtyard, how could they not know what the situation of each family was? Cheng Mother asked like this, wasn't that clearly poking Han Mu's lung tube. Fortunately, Han Mu was also not good, my son has a partner, your son doesn't, after finishing, she won by a little bit, and it was a harmony again...
Compared to Cheng Army Supervisor's not working, and even not promising to eat and drink at a table with women, Han Chunming and Taozi and Ma Du were quite loyal. They didn't eat at all, and kept busy with Wang Yan's little brothers, serving dishes, filling rice, getting wine and drinks for people, looking for chopsticks when they fell to the ground, and giving cigarettes to people when they ran out, acting as waiters for this wedding banquet, doing their best.
Busy until the people who didn't drink finished eating and left one after another, Wang Yan, who had finally accompanied a circle, sat at a table with them and ate...
After eating, he didn't idle. He let Su Meng go back to the room to rest, and Wang Yan, along with his little brothers, as well as the Su family's real relatives and friends who hadn't left, started to clean up the mess again.
Actually, it wasn't very messy. After all, this wasn't the 21st century that advocated the CD action. With such good food today, there was nothing left in the plates except vegetable soup. And the dishes left on Old Lao Guantou's side, some were taken by the master chef who cooked to bring home, and some were given to some relatives and friends of the Su family. No matter how difficult or bitter, there were rarely people who came to eat a plate with a gift. So Su Mu managed it and gave it to those difficult relatives and friends.
Washing and scrubbing all the pots, bowls, ladles, and basins, wiping the tables and benches again, and cleaning the ground of the courtyard, with many people and great strength, by the time it was dark, all the work was completely finished, and the wedding was considered finished.
Sending everyone away all the way, Wang Yan lit a cigarette and went to Old Lao Guantou's small courtyard with Han Chunming. After checking that it was cleaned up well, he entered the room to see Old Lao Guantou.
Seeing Old Lao Guantou sitting cross-legged in the room, with a plate of fried peanuts and the remaining fish, drinking wine, Wang Yan shouted: "I say Commander, you old man are drinking again?"
This old kid gave Wang Yan ten yuan, drank a few glasses at the banquet today, ate his fill, sat for a while to listen to the fun and digest, came back to sleep, and now he was drinking again.
"How fresh, Nine-Gate Commander Nine-Gate Commander, if you don't drink, how can you be a commander."
Wang Yan cooperated and held the stage: "Ho, emotion you are this wine gate?"
"Stop talking nonsense with me." Old Lao Guantou glanced sideways, drank a glass by himself, ate peanuts: "You don't hurry back to enter the bridal chamber with your wife after cleaning up, and you have the heart to talk crosstalk with your Nine-Gate Commander grandfather here?"
"Hehe, you old man are right, I'm going back now, entering the bridal chamber..."
Watching Wang Yan leave swaying, Old Lao Guantou glanced at Han Chunming who was a bit stunned: "Grandson, what are you thinking about? Didn't you see the wine glass is empty? Pour wine!"
Han Chunming sighed, sat opposite Old Lao Guantou, poured wine and drank a glass first, then continued to pour for Old Lao Guantou: "Disciple's heart is not tasty..."
【A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old version of the source-changing app that everyone is using, huanyuanapp.】
"Humph, people are already married and entering the bridal chamber, what can you do if it's not tasty." Old Lao Guantou said: "You are just cheap, Cai Xiaoli, that girl is not bad, I have taken a fancy to her. That kid Wang Yan is already married, when are you getting married? When can I see a disciple's grandson?"
"Wait until my second brother gets married and moves out, you old man don't know, where do we have a place to live?"
"If your second brother doesn't get married for a lifetime, are you going to mix with Cai Xiaoli for a lifetime? Move to my place first, and when your second brother gets married and moves out, you move back. How big a deal is it? Grinding and chirping. Your mother is also, saying something about poking the spine, let them say it, what can happen? If you can't hear it, you have to. These things of mine, when I die, aren't they all yours?"
"Don't, just your old man's body, at least live to be a hundred years old. Wait a while, if my second brother still has no play next year, then I will come to your place with Xiaoli." Han Chunming ran to the side, got another glass back: "Disciple will accompany you to drink a little..."
Old Lao Guantou hummed: "No promise."
Although he said so, he still gave him wine to drink.
In a person's life, there are always many regrets, such as the female classmate you can't get...
"Dad, Mom, Grandmother."
Wang Yan was shameless, and finally became a son and a grandson again.
Including Su Meng, the whole family was counting the money on the table. They responded happily. Su Fu poured a glass of tea for Wang Yan to sober up, pushed a stack of money over and said: "We counted twice just now, this is a total of more than seven hundred, you take it to the bank tomorrow. It's all from your friends, we held the banquet so well today, it cost more than six hundred, originally we thought we would have to add some, didn't expect there to be one hundred left."
Wang Yan didn't refuse, they were all one family, there was no need, he put the money in front of Su Meng: "Wife, it's all for you, you look at it and spend it."
Su Meng looked at Wang Yan, then at her parents, and laughed: "Then I won't be polite." While saying, the movements on her hands were not slow, the money was all in her hands, and she was happy. The one thousand yuan her eldest uncle gave before was also with her. Counting these, she was a veritable rich woman, of course, she was happy, really, nothing could give people more sense of security than sufficient money.
Su Grandmother waved her hand: "Alright, the wedding is finished, the time is not early, Wang Yan has drunk a lot, you two don't be annoying here, hurry back and rest, let me hold a great-grandson early."
Hearing this, Su Meng turned to look at Wang Yan who was burning with hot eyes, and suddenly blushed: "Oh my, Grandmother~~"
"Dad, Mom, Grandmother, then we're going back." Wang Yan was shameless, laughing and pulling Su Meng up, and under the somewhat complex eyes of Su Grandmother and the three, he hugged Su Meng and turned to leave: "Gone, wife..."
Laughing and returning to the home in the front yard, the door closed, and in Su Meng's scream of "Ah", Wang Yan hugged her and put her on the bed.
Su Meng's heavy breathing, she reached out and pushed Wang Yan away: "Oh my, haven't washed up yet, your mouth is full of wine. Besides, the curtains aren't drawn, and the lights aren't off, how can you be so shameless..."
Wang Yan let her go, turned around and took off his clothes, went to the outer room, drank some water, gargled his mouth, plugged the door, returned to the room, drew the curtains, and turned off the lights, all in one go.
In the darkness, there was the rustling sound of taking off clothes, and Su Meng's small struggle while breathing.
"Oh my, no, you are too coping..."
"Wait a moment, let me slow down, do some psychological construction."
"Don't..."
How could Wang Yan care about so much: "Come on, you just..."
In this deep autumn of October, in this harvest season, under this starry sky, in this quiet courtyard. Some people are envious and jealous of today's wedding banquet, some people hate the woman they like for being happy with others, some people don't get the female classmate and get drunk, causing the scolding of their old mother, and the new father-in-law who is not used to it can't sleep for half the night.
There is a man in the darkness moving his waist without emotion, there is a woman suppressing the pain, feeling what is a woman... ===== CHAPTER 569 =====
