In the early morning half a month later, a rapid ringing of the phone broke the tranquility of the second sister of the He family.
After she answered the phone, her whole body seemed to be frozen, her eyes empty, and then she followed the villagers who went to the city to sell vegetables in a trance on the way to the bus station.
As time goes by, the appearance of the countryside has long been completely new, especially around Luzhou. The bumpy dirt roads in the past have now been transformed into spacious and flat cement or asphalt avenues, extending in all directions.
When taking the bus, you no longer have to worry about numbness due to the same bumps as before. The memory of getting motion sick and vomiting when taking the bus seems to have become a thing of the past.
In recent days, bus lines connecting urban and rural areas have undergone tremendous changes - free, driverless, and driven by new energy.
This series of changes made the villagers feel novel and uneasy at first. One night, the first villager to experience this kind of bus got on the bus but did not see the driver, and was almost frightened out.
Fortunately, in the end, the village chiefs’ timely popularization of science made the villagers suddenly realize that this is the power of technology, and now everyone is talking about science.
Moreover, buses and taxis in Luzhou City have fully entered the driverless era, and all old operating companies have been officially integrated and upgraded into a new group.
What is amazing is that the new group quickly turned losses into profits in a short period of time, showing strong vitality.
Some of those former drivers have transformed into remote technical support, specializing in dealing with occasional failures of unmanned driving systems;
There are also a large number of drivers who are specially maintained. The only main thing they have to do every day is to learn various driving skills and improve their professional capabilities. Prepare for a rainy day. If artificial intelligence becomes useless one day in the future, there will still be manpower available at that time.
Some drivers will retire directly on the spot, while the rest will receive new vocational skill training under the coordination of Luzhou. Nowadays, Luzhou is undergoing large-scale and rapid development, and it is not difficult to find a job if you have the skills.
However, with the surging wave of intelligence, there are endless voices of concern on the Internet about the future employment ecology. Many people worry that they will be eliminated by the tide of the times and eventually become unemployed.
Especially those in new industries who are burdened with huge loans are even more worried.
"Hey, welcome to take Luzhou bus No. 211. You will be accompanied by Xiaolu for the rest of the journey.
Passengers, please sit still and hold yourself tight. If you feel unwell, please inform us immediately. The car is equipped with Professor Ariga's latest research and development of the 'neutrino scanner', which will monitor your health status in real time and transmit the data to the center in real time.
The hospital ensures that you receive the best treatment in the shortest possible time.”
As the sweet and warm prompt sounds in the car, the door slowly closes and the vehicle starts smoothly.
The second sister of the He family looked out the car window at the rows of high-rise buildings, the wide and straight roads, and the intelligent machines everywhere, with mixed feelings in her heart.
Luzhou is developing at a rapid pace. For ordinary villagers like her, every time she enters the city, it is like stepping into a brand new world, feeling both novel and confused.
She couldn't help but pray silently in her heart, hoping that the world would slow down a little and wait for those of them who were temporarily left behind by the tide of the times.
...
At noon, the sun slanted into the Zhuangyuan Noodle House. He Ziqiu walked into the store with a slightly heavy step. He looked tired and called out loudly when he entered the door: "Dad, I'm back."
Li Haichao was immersed in the account books. He suddenly raised his head when he heard the sound, his eyes touched his son's tired face, and his heartache was palpable:
"Ouch, what's wrong with you? You're as tired as if you came back from the battlefield. I think it's better to let Jianjian leave the hospital early. You're so lazy and lazy. What you do all day is a waste of rice!"
After saying that, the little yellow cat leisurely basking in the sun seemed to be confused by this sudden "accusation": "Meow~"
[What’s wrong with Delicious Lazy Do? Did I eat your rice? Oh, I really did.]
He Ziqiu waved his hand gently, with a hint of helplessness in his wry smile: "It's not bad over there at Jianjian. You can eat whatever you want, and you can entertain yourself while lying on the bed. It's very worry-free."
What really gives me a headache is that my graduate students couldn’t understand the flexible application of the simple Taylor formula in the flow simulation algorithm, which made me thirsty and exhausted.”
As his academic status improved, he realized how far away his dream of changing the world by himself was.
For example, the complex system of controllable nuclear fusion has hundreds of thousands of components. If he was responsible for it all by himself, just writing the technical documentation would be enough to consume him for decades.
With his current wisdom and knowledge, what he should actually be doing is macro-coordination and solving difficult and complicated diseases, tackling difficult problems, and becoming the leader who breaks the ice and moves forward.
Sometimes, he would even daydream that if he could fully devote himself to the research and development of quantum robots, artificial intelligence and brain-computer interface technology, he might be able to create an invincible team on his own.
But such thoughts made him worried and hindered.
Nowadays, all scientists are actually thinking about the dangers of artificial intelligence, and they are taking every step very carefully.
Will the rapid development of artificial intelligence really give birth to new intelligent entities with independent thinking, thus posing a threat to mankind?
Or, when alien civilization arrives with more advanced computer technology, and if the earth is completely dependent on robots, will we be unable to fight back and be slaughtered by them?
Li Haichao listened with a confused look on his face, and murmured to himself: When people are pushed into a hurry, they can do anything except math problems.
"Dad, give me another bowl of beef noodles. There's a lot of beef. I want to eat your noodles." He Ziqiu said with a smile.
Li Haichao immediately became happy and agreed with a smile: "Okay, son!"
For a moment, He Ziqiu and the little yellow cat shared a large bowl of fragrant noodles. You had one bite of beef and I had five bites of beef. The air was filled with the smell of joy, and both of them were immersed in a feast of satisfying taste buds.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Haichao sat aside, his eyes full of love and satisfaction.
As a father and chef, his greatest happiness is to see his children's love for his craft, which makes him feel that he is still useful.
After a moment of silence, Li Haichao seemed to have remembered something and said softly: "Zi Qiu, I almost forgot to ask, what happened to Ling Xiao? He always said on the phone that he was fine, but I looked at him like that
The way he looks, I’m afraid he’s not going well.”
When He Ziqiu heard this, a wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "His mother and sister are pestering him like vampires over there. It's like a nightmare, so who can sleep at all?
In my last class, I probably had to make 100 phone calls a day. I had to report where I went, what I ate, and what books I read. This would have to be Ling Xiao. If I had gone crazy, I would have gone crazy."
When Li Haichao heard this, he frowned and said seriously: "You can't say that. Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. We don't understand the whole picture, so don't talk nonsense. It's not easy for anyone."
Besides, you are now a great professor, so it is not good to talk about people behind their back."
He Ziqiu nodded and expressed his understanding: "I know, Dad, I'll just leave it alone. Anyway, you have to deal with what happened to him."
Li Haichao hesitated for a moment and finally asked the question in his heart: "Zi Qiu, after so many years, haven't you ever thought about looking for your mother?"
He Ziqiu stopped the chopsticks in his hand and looked up at his father. A trace of complicated emotions flashed in his eyes, and then turned into a wry smile: "Looking for her? She didn't want me back then, why should I look for her?"
"Your mother is not a bad person." Li Haichao tried to explain, "She even came here to pay back the money she owed me a few days ago, and she also paid me a lot of interest."
"Oh, Chen Ting has her own difficulties, and Anna Mae is not a bad person." He Ziqiu shook his head, "Dad, you always think so well of people. If you pick up kittens and puppies and bring them home, they are not just going to eat them."
Are you kind-hearted?"
"Meow~" the little yellow cat was furious.
【Who are you talking about? I didn’t pick it up!】
"Look, look, where did he go?" Li Haichao quickly comforted him: "Master Le is a cat, so you are still a dog?"
He Ziqiu sighed and said seriously: "Dad, forget it really. After so many years, she may have forgotten us. Moreover, even if she finds us, I don't know what to say to her. You are the only one."
my family."
Li Haichao smiled bitterly and shook his head: "How can we distinguish between people so clearly? My father has little education and doesn't understand the general principles of life, so he can't explain anything. But after living for so many years, he can't tell the difference.
Live out some experience, right?
This person is alive, so don't be too competitive. Fate comes and fate goes."
He Ziqiu stood up, sat next to his father, and patted his shoulder: "Dad, don't you just want me to let nature take its own course? Others are not happy, so if we rush to go, aren't we asking for trouble and forcing ourselves?
"
Li Haichao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "I used to advise you, but now it's better that it's you who will enlighten me."
He Ziqiu looked serious: "From now on, I will not only advise you, but also control you. You have to listen to me."
"Okay!" Li Haichao smiled from ear to ear, "Then dad will be relying on you from now on."
"No problem!" He Ziqiu readily agreed.
The father and son looked at each other and smiled, warm and harmonious.
"Meow meow~" the little yellow cat slapped the table.
【Another bowl of beef noodles!~Who are you looking down on? One bowl is enough for anyone!】
Li Haichao shook his head helplessly, stood up slowly, and continued to prepare meals for Le Ye.
He originally thought that Mr. Le's visit might have some purpose, but after getting along with him over the years, he had already understood that this Baojiaxian had only one purpose: to provide food and accommodation.
"Hey, Haichao, Ziqiu, you two are here." At this time, the second sister of the He family stepped into the threshold carrying a heavy and tightly tied drink box. Her face looked slightly haggard, and her sallow face showed a bit of exhaustion.
"Second Aunt!" He Ziqiu and Li Haichao stood up almost at the same time and went to greet her.
The second aunt gently shook the box in her hand and explained: "Haichao, these are the fresh duck eggs I brought for you. They are not those fed with feed on the market. I asked Liubao to go to the mountains to pick them up. They are wild and taste delicious.
It smells good."
Li Haichao quickly took it and said gratefully: "Oh, that's a good thing. Come on, second aunt, come in and sit down. Just come. I'm really embarrassed to bring such a heavy thing."
"Then I'm going to buy some groceries, Dad. You're going to show off your skills again at noon." After He Ziqiu said that, he ran out.
He was most afraid of talking to his second aunt, and she kept asking him to behave well at home and repay the Li family's kindness.
After making a cup of tea, Li Haichao and his second aunt sat down and started chatting.
The second aunt looked around, looking at the brand new decoration, and sighed with emotion: "Zi Qiu has been worry-free since he was a child. He knows how to find a job by himself and reduce the burden on the family."
Hearing this, Li Haichao couldn't help but sigh: "Yes, but this child has become sensible too early, which makes people feel distressed. He has to bear the weight of life with adults, which makes him feel tired."
The second aunt was a little excited when she heard this: "It's not my sister's fault!" As soon as the words left her mouth, she quickly stopped them.
Seeing this, Li Haichao quickly changed the subject: "Let's not mention this anymore. By the way, Anna Mae hasn't contacted you all these years?"
The second aunt smiled bitterly: "No, she left a letter when she left, saying that we should treat her as dead. For such a strong person, even if she has a bad life outside, she can find a rope to hang herself outside.
He won’t have the nerve to come back to us.”
Li Haichao comforted: "Don't say that. If you move a tree, you will die, but if you move people, you will live. Everyone has their own way to go. Everyone has their own ambitions, don't take it too seriously. Maybe one day...she will
Figured it out."
When the second aunt heard this, her eyes turned red, and she choked with sobs: "Brother Haichao, you are such a good person...I..." Before she could finish her words, tears welled up in her eyes.
When Li Haichao saw this, he quickly asked: "What's wrong? Did something happen at home?"
The second aunt wiped her tears and slowly told the truth: "The child's father was diagnosed with gastric cancer in March. He just had an operation last month and will undergo chemotherapy next week." At this point, she broke down in tears.
"Oh, why didn't you tell us about this?" Li Haichao accused.
"I...I don't have the nerve to trouble you again. But, Brother Haichao, to tell you the truth, I have no choice. I actually wanted to borrow some money from Ziqiu when I came here this time. My relatives at home have all borrowed it, and now I'm borrowing it.
The relatives I borrowed all hid when they saw me... I really had no choice." The second aunt cried even harder.
It is said that Anna Mae is proud, but their family is actually the same. They were wrong when they left their child to Li Haichao. But now, even if Zi Qiu is successful, they have never asked for anything.
But there's really nothing we can do now.
At this time, He Ziqiu walked into the room and walked straight to the second aunt: "Second aunt, stop crying, let's go, I will take you to the hospital. You come to me about money. I don't have anything else, but I have a lot of money."
The second aunt was so moved that she thanked her repeatedly: "Zi Qiu, thank you!"
"If a family doesn't talk to each other, let's leave quickly." He Ziqiu said, and helped his second aunt out.
Li Haichao stood at the door, watched the two of them leave, shook his head slightly, turned around and continued to work.
This person has encountered too many things in his life, so he has to keep an open mind on everything, otherwise he will get tired.
...
a long while
The little yellow cat who had been waiting for a long time in the noodle shop gradually fell into deep thought.
No, where is my meal? He only made about twenty bowls today, shouldn’t he eat it?
