The Science Fiction World of Xueba

The next day, Pang Xuelin approached Chen Wenyuan and talked about finding a student for a work-study program.

"Lin Wazi, why are you suddenly going to Shencheng?"

To Pang Xuelin's surprise, Chen Wenyuan's first reaction was not to help Pang Xuelin find someone, but to wonder why Pang Xuelin was going to Shencheng.

Pang Xuelin laughed and said: "Professor Chen, didn't the ancients have a saying? It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. I have been in Lancheng for several months, and it is time to go for a walk. Besides, ramen It is not enough for me to share this little money, I need to find new ways to make money."

"Is your ramen stall doing a good business? I heard from Shuiwa that your daily revenue is more than 150, and the profit is not low."

Pang Xuelin laughed and said, "Professor Chen, do you still remember what I said? Knowledge can expand the boundaries of our human cognition, but resources can allow us to truly explore the boundaries of human cognition. to accumulate resources for the future."

"You, you!"

Chen Wenyuan looked at Pang Xuelin, a little helpless.

After spending three months with Pang Xuelin, Chen Wenyuan had a good understanding of this seventeen-year-old boy.

Pang Xuelin is extremely talented and has an excellent temperament. Whether it is international affairs or various trivial matters in life, he can see more clearly than this old man.

What's even more rare is that he has a pure pursuit of academics.

In the past three months, it was the first time for Chen Wenyuan to see the rare spirituality he showed in the field of mathematics after teaching at Lanzhou University for so many years.

He even had a vague feeling that as long as Pang Xuelin insisted on following the academic route for a long time, he would definitely have a place in the future Fields Medal.

It's a pity that after getting along for such a long time, when facing himself, Pang Xuelin maintained a junior's respect for his elders, but in other respects, this little guy is very principled.

Once he has made a decision, it is almost impossible for others to change his mind.

Chen Wenyuan pondered for a moment and asked, "Then how long are you going to stay in Shencheng this time?"

Pang Xuelin laughed and said: "I don't know yet, let's go and look at it first, but I'm leaving, Brother Shui Wa can't support the ramen stand alone, can you help me find a student who is willing to work and study? Six dollars a day.

"

"Six yuan a day? You're a big spender."

Lancheng is located in the west. Although it is a provincial capital, the salary level is not high.

Many employees of state-owned enterprises with mediocre benefits earn an average monthly salary of two or three hundred.

Pang Xuelin can give a salary of six yuan a day, which is equivalent to an astronomical figure for those children from poor families.

After thinking for a while, Chen Wenyuan picked up the phone on the table and dialed it.

After the call was connected, Chen Wenyuan talked to Tan Yuanliang on the other end of the phone, and roughly conveyed Pang Xuelin's meaning.

Less than half an hour later, Tan Yuanliang hurried into Chen Wenyuan's office.

Behind Tan Yuanliang, there was another girl with her head down.

The woman was wearing a plain plaid shirt with traces of mending on the cuffs. Her lower body was a pair of straight-leg trousers, which had been washed a little white. She was wearing liberation shoes on her feet. Her two braids were combed behind her head, making her look a little stiff.

Tan Yuanliang said: "Alin, I brought you someone. Her name is Feng Wanying. She is a freshman in our Department of Mathematics. Her family is also in Linxiong County. She is a survivor of a martyr. Her father died in the Laoshan battlefield. My mother remarried, and there are grandparents and two younger brothers at home. The monthly pension is not enough to spend. Although the school gave her subsidies, except for meals, she sent most of them back home. .”

Pang Xuelin nodded, and said to Feng Wanying, "Look up and let me see."

Feng Wanying raised her head, revealing a delicate face, her lips were a little thin, with a hint of heroism.

Pang Xuelin said: "Your name is Feng Wanying, right? You are older than me, so I will call you Sister Wanying. Teacher Tan should have told you just now, right? The Lanzhou ramen at the school gate needs to recruit people. The working hours are from 5:00 pm to 10:00 pm, and the main job is to help serve noodles, collect dishes, clean and wash, and cashier, with a daily salary of six yuan, what can you do?"

Feng Wanying looked at Pang Xuelin, nodded and said, "I...I can do it!"

Six yuan is enough for her food for four days.

In this way, she can send more than 100 quick money to her family every month, which can not only solve the tuition fees of her two younger brothers, but also allow them to eat eggs to supplement their health.

Pang Xuelin laughed and said, "Okay, that's you, you come with me now, and start working this afternoon."

Feng Wanying was slightly taken aback, and looked at Tan Yuanliang in a daze.

Tan Yuanliang smiled and said: "Xiao Feng, you can go with A Lin to have a look first, if you are not used to it, you can come back."

"Okay, okay, thank you Teacher Tan, thank you Professor Chen."

Feng Wanying bowed to Tan Yuanliang and Chen Wenyuan respectively, and then followed Pang Xuelin.

Looking at the backs of the two of them going away, Tan Yuanhao said curiously: "Teacher, why did the younger brother recruit people suddenly? This is to put down the work of the ramen stall, have you studied hard?"

Tan Yuanliang followed Chen Wenyuan to study for his master's and doctoral degrees. After graduating from his doctoral degree, he stayed at the school to teach and had a very close relationship with Chen Wenyuan.

For Pang Xuelin, he has always regarded him as Chen Wenyuan's mantle disciple, so in front of Chen Wenyuan, he has always called Pang Xuelin a junior.

Chen Wenyuan shook his head with a smile and said: "It would be great if this guy is as safe as you said, he is planning to go on a long trip, and he is worried that Shuiwa will not be able to do it alone, so he is planning to find a student for a part-time work-study program. "

"A long trip?"

Tan Yuanliang was taken aback: "Where is he going?"

"Deep City!"

Chen Wenyuan sighed helplessly.

He had a vague thought, was it too wishful thinking to train Pang Xuelin as his disciple?

...

Coming out of the teaching building of the Department of Mathematics, Feng Wanying followed Pang Xuelin cautiously.

At this time, Pang Xuelin said: "Sister Wanying, I heard that you are also from Linxiong County?"

"Yes, it is."

Feng Wanying looked a little nervous.

Pang Xuelin turned his head and said with a smile: "Don't be too restrained. Speaking of which, I am also from Linxiong County, and we are fellow villagers."

"Hometown?"

Feng Wanying was a little surprised.

In fact, until now she still had no idea of ​​Pang Xuelin's identity.

She had heard of the ramen shop in front of the school a long time ago. The principal and many professors in the school went to that noodle shop to try something new.

Many students in the class have also gone to eat, and they are full of praise for the taste of this restaurant.

Feng Wanying has never tasted it. Even a bowl of clear soup Lanzhou ramen is a luxury for her.

On weekdays at school, she basically has two 50 cents steamed buns for each meal, together with the free seaweed soup in the cafeteria, and the hot sauce she brought from her hometown, it is a meal.

So it was hard for her to imagine the taste of the clear soup ramen.

She didn't expect that the owner of such a ramen stall turned out to be a boy who looked like a high school student.

Moreover, according to Tan Yuanliang, this young man is still his junior brother.

For a while, Feng Wanying was a little confused about Pang Xuelin's identity.

Pang Xuelin said with a smile: "My family is from Xiaoxinfang, Wangji Town, Linxiong County. How about yours?"

Feng Wanying widened her eyes and said, "My family is from Daxinfang, Wangji Town."

"Yo, then we are fellow villagers among fellow villagers."

The straight-line distance between Xiaoxinfang and Daxinfang is less than one kilometer, but there is a mound in the middle. It takes about 20 minutes to walk.

Feng Wanying nodded, apparently not expecting such a coincidence.

Pang Xuelin brought Feng Wanying to the ramen stand at the school gate, and Shuiwa was already busy.

Seeing that Pang Xuelin brought back a handsome female college student, Shui Wa seemed a little nervous, and stammered: "Lin...Lin Wazi, you...you are back."

Pang Xuelin saw that Shuiwa looked like he didn't know where to put his hands, so he couldn't help laughing, and said, "Brother Shuiwa, let me introduce you, this is Feng Wanying, a student of Teacher Tan. Let her come over and help you. Also, Sister Wanying is from our hometown and lives in Daxinfang, so you have to treat her well."

"You... hello!"

Shui Wa scratched her head and said in embarrassment.

"Hello!"

Feng Wanying also lowered her head and said.

Pang Xuelin couldn't help crying and laughing, finding a student to come over for a work-study program, how could it be like a blind date.

Pang Xuelin said: "Okay, let's start working now, Sister Wanying, come here, and I will show you what you are going to do."

Soon after, guests came to the door, and Pang Xuelin and Shuiwa immediately became busy. Even Feng Wanying didn't care about being shy, and followed Pang Xuelin.

It wasn't until Feng Wanying's work was on the right track that Pang Xuelin moved the small bench aside and let Feng Wanying and Shui Wa be busy.

Needless to say, the two of them worked in a tacit understanding, and Pang Xuelin's departure did not have any impact on the ramen stall at all.

Until half past nine in the evening, the guests were almost gone.

Shui Wa then ordered a bowl of noodles for each of the three. He himself still had clear soup noodles, while Pang Xuelin's and Feng Wanying's bowls each had an extra poached egg.

"I... I won't eat."

Feng Wanying stood aside, a little at a loss.

Pang Xuelin said with a smile: "Sister Wanying, these ingredients are all from home. Anyway, if you don't finish eating them, you won't be able to sell them tomorrow. You can sit down and eat them. We will have dinner here every day in the future. It can just save money for a meal."

"But……"

"Okay, don't let it go. If you don't want to, then I will replace you."

"Then... that's fine."

Feng Wanying had no choice but to sit down, lowered her head and carefully ate the noodles bite by bite.

At this time, Pang Xuelin took out a five-yuan and one-one banknote from the cashier box on the side, handed it to Feng Wanying, and said, "Sister Wanying, this is your salary for today, Brother Shuiwa, and you will close the stall every day from now on." , the wages will be settled on the same day.”

"okay!"

Shuiwa nodded.

Feng Wanying took the money, but she couldn't help but shed tears.

"Boss, thank you... thank you!"

"Thank you for telling me. These are the fruits of your labor and you deserve them. Also, don't call me the boss in the future, call me A Lin, just teach him Brother Shuiwa, otherwise we will just call us bosses." gone."

Shui Wa on the side also stammered, "Lin... Lin Wazi is right, we... each of us work with our hands to feed... support ourselves, this is the most... the most honorable!"

Seemingly relieved by Shuiwa's stuttering sound, Feng Wanying couldn't help but chuckle, raised her head for the first time, looked at Pang Xuelin, then at Shuiwa and said, "Brother Shuiwa, Ah Lin, thank you."

After eating, Feng Wanying helped Pang Xuelin and Shuiwa to load the things onto the tricycle, cleaned the surrounding ground carefully, made an appointment with Shuiwa to come to work the next day, and then returned to school.

Pang Xuelin and Shui Wa returned to the small courtyard they rented.

Then, Pang Xuelin stayed in Lancheng for another three days, during these three days, Feng Wanying fully integrated into it.

As a girl, she has nimble hands and feet, and she is more agile than Pang Xuelin in her work, and she cooperates with Shuiwa equally tacitly.

Only then did Pang Xuelin feel relieved.

In the past few days, Pang Xuelin also obtained a hard sleeper ticket worth more than 300 yuan from Lancheng to Yangcheng through Chen Wenyuan's relationship.

In this era, soft sleeper tickets are hard to come by. Generally, only the staff of party, government and military agencies, enterprises, institutions, and people's organizations are eligible to buy soft sleeper tickets with certificates or letters of introduction that meet the requirements of the state to enjoy soft sleeper berths. .

Although with Chen Wenyuan's identity, he could help Pang Xuelin get a ticket for a soft sleeper.

But Pang Xuelin is too young after all, and the soft sleeper is too eye-catching, so the hard sleeper is more suitable.

On May 15, 1993, early in the morning, Shui Wa sent Pang Xuelin to Lancheng Railway Station.

"Lin Wazi, you must be careful on the road. If you have any disputes with others, don't get angry and give in. If you encounter a liar or a thief, you must call the police as soon as possible. I will sew the five thousand yuan into your coat for you." In your pocket, you must remember to keep it safe."

Pang Xuelin said with a smile: "Don't worry, Brother Shuiwa, I will definitely take care of myself. During this time, I will leave the booth to you. Also, if you like someone, remember to take the initiative. Girls nowadays are pure, If you do a few more things that move her, she will be with you forever..."

"Lin Wazi, you... What nonsense are you talking about? Wanying and I are innocent..."

Shui Wa blushed and retorted.

Pang Xuelin laughed and said, "Brother Shuiwa, I haven't even mentioned that person's name yet, how do you know I'm talking about Sister Wanying..."

"Forget it, I won't tell you, I'm going to be late for school soon."

Shuiwa rode on the bicycle, took two steps, stepped on the brakes, turned to look at Pang Xuelin and said, "Linwazi, you must be careful on the road and take care of yourself. If you have anything to do, you can send me a telegram, or Call Professor Chen."

Pang Xuelin waved his hand at Shuiwa, and said loudly: "Understood, hurry up, I'm going to the station too!"

Shui Wa followed suit and waved: "Bon voyage!"
