intellectual norms

Before the words fell, Xia Xiaoli in the audience had goosebumps all over her body, as if she had "enlightened".

At his age, of course, he has never thought about such a long-term and profound problem. All his understanding and experience of building and bridge construction come from this person in front of him. He regards him as an idol, because he is a construction worker, and Xia Xiaoli also He wants to be a construction worker because he wants to know everything this person knows and to get closer.

But putting aside Qiao Yu's influence, Xia Xiaoli now asks herself if she likes this line of work and is she willing to do it.

He couldn't give an answer right away, but he was shocked by the phrase "Use eternity to dissolve the flowing desire". Xia Xiaoli now knows what the buildings mentioned by Qiao Yu are. The vicissitudes of life made him have a vague impression of "eternity" in his mind for the first time.

This is an era where few people are pursuing eternity. Trends and information are changing rapidly. "Flexibility" is a compulsory homework for everyone. Even if it is love, goodbye is goodbye, and the next one will be better. This is a chic view of love.

But Xia Xiaoli began to faintly feel that this is not what he wants, he doesn't want to be a flexible, changeable, long-sleeved and good at dancing.

He also vaguely felt that from today on, in addition to dealing with the concrete challenge of the college entrance examination, he seemed to have more problems to think about, and these problems were even more important than the college entrance examination.

On the stage, Qiao Yu’s speech continued. He talked about "eternity", the beauty of buildings and bridges in time, and the contribution of this discipline to the progress of human society that goes hand in hand with beauty.

Conversely, because of the contribution to mankind and the beauty that does not perish due to changes in the times, those great works born under this discipline have gained eternity.

Then came the interaction with the students.

Cheng Yu appeared again as the host. He passed the microphone to the students in the audience. The college students raised their hands to ask questions. Qiao Yu pointed at a few boys at random. They asked all kinds of questions. The general salary of students in this industry, what level do you want, how many years does it take to become a chief designer, what is the first project Professor Qiao did, what is the income of foreign colleagues, and foreign schools I asked if I could take Professor Qiao's master's or doctoral degree...

No matter what kind of questions, Qiao Yu answered them patiently and earnestly, sometimes with a lighthearted humor. Xia Xiaoli heard the words "I really want to be Teacher Qiao's student" from behind more than once.

"One last question." Qiao Yu said.

Xia Xiaoli didn't raise her hand, but Jian Rong beside her raised her hand, stood up and jumped happily, Qiao Yu saw him, and signaled to Cheng Yu to pass the microphone over.

Xia Xiaoli looked up at Jian Rong, he didn't know what this guy was going to ask.

Jian Rong said: "Hello, Mr. Qiao, I am Jian Rong, a third-year student in the High School Attached to Hongda University. I would like to ask you, if a person is young, he does not have much life experience, and the world and the future are still blank for him. Paper, what he wants to do at this time is to experience, various experiences, which may include chasing the trend you just mentioned. At this time, he is at a loss and uncertain, and at the same time full of possibilities. I think this It is an inevitable stage in life, and finding the eternal thing that belongs to him is the result of this experience, what do you think?"

Qiao Yu looked at him with great interest, nodded and said, "Student Jian Rong, this question is very interesting." He looked at the audience and said, "The last question, I want to hear from the students present, who would like to come Answer, or come to exchange ideas on this?"

The classmates in the audience looked at each other, some were eager to try, some looked at each other, Qiao Yu's eyes fell on a person, he smiled, and pointed to Jian Rong gently: "Student Jian Rong, please give you the microphone The classmate next to him has something to say."

Xia Xiaoli took the microphone, stood up as well, and said, "Hi everyone, I'm also a third-year student in the attached high school. How should I live my life, what kind of work to do, what kind of love to talk about, it is very clear from the beginning, and I have strengthened my heart early, which is a kind of luck. But another kind, like my classmate Jian Rong As I just said, it may take a lot of attempts, and it will take a long time before I can determine how I want to live. , will be very persistent.”

"I think it's different routes leading to the same goal. No matter what the cause is, the final result is the same."

"It's just that in the latter kind of life, it is easy to appear that the more you try and experience, the more you will be at a loss, because new things in this world emerge one after another, and desires ebb and flow. If every desire is satisfied, every desire To experience new things will only bring endless consumption. If you consume yourself unrestrainedly, you will definitely not be able to find the thing that you should stick to in the end, and you will even lose your ability to discern, just like, even if true love appears In front of his eyes, he may not necessarily recognize it."

"So, just for the question just now, what I want to say is that no matter what the process is, we should exercise restraint. Even if we want to experience dazzling new things, we should remain vigilant and sober in our hearts. We must remember our own What is the 'fruit' you are looking for, there is always a stage where you must sink to accumulate yourself, if you miss these, you will end up with nothing."

To be honest, when these words came out of Xia Xiaoli's mouth, Jian Rong was shocked.

The students present were also shocked, and the audience was silent.

Qiao Yu on the stage looked at Xia Xiaoli thoughtfully, squeezed the microphone, and said gently: "Everyone, tell me, how did this student answer?"

A few seconds later, the audience burst into thunderous applause, Xia Xiaoli blushed in the applause, her heart beating like a drum.

Qiao Yu kept looking at him with extremely gentle eyes, and when the applause fell, he said, "Student Xia Xiaoli, what you just said is also my answer to this question, thank you."

Xia Xiaoli raised her head and looked at Qiao Yu, both of them had their eyes bent, their eyes were shining, sincere and hot.

This sharing session was so powerful that Xia Xiaoli often thought of what Qiao Yu said and what he himself said in his spare time for several days after the end.

He is only 17 years old, and he has never seen many wonderful things in the world. Does he want to see him? Of course he does.

Just like Qiao Yu rejected what he said that time, you are only 17 years old, you should have a relationship that belongs to you, and have a variety of wonderful relationships with your peers.

But Xia Xiaoli doesn't want to, work is still far away from him for the time being, but when it comes to love, he has no interest in so-called "fresh and various" love. Needing those so-called "love experiences," he considers himself lucky.

He knew clearly in his heart that it was Qiao Yu who didn't understand this, Xia Xiaoli thought, but he felt that one day Qiao Yu would understand.

After the sharing session, Xia Xiaoli did not go back to school with her classmates. It was Saturday, and from tonight to tomorrow was their rest day.

Baizhu sent him a message, saying that his father had returned from Xingshui, and asked him to ask Teacher Qiao if he was free to go home for dinner.

There were also some students who stayed behind like Xia Xiaoli. They went directly to the stage and chatted with Qiao Yu. Everyone didn't want to miss this opportunity. Xia Xiaoli didn't go up.

For about ten minutes, when Qiao Yu was talking to them, his eyes kept crossing the crowd and falling on Xia Xiaoli from time to time, Xia Xiaoli mouthed to him: "No rush."

After 15 minutes, Qiao Yu checked the messages on his mobile phone, finished chatting with the students, and said, "Let's do this for today? Welcome to the next sharing session."

The students slowly dispersed. Under Cheng Yu's command, several Hongda volunteers removed the materials on the stage. Qiao Yu walked over to Xia Xiaoli: "Let's go home with you."

Huh?Xia Xiaoli hadn't even spoken yet, so how did he know what he wanted to ask?

Qiao Yu shook the phone: "Uncle Xia sent me a message saying that he came back today and wanted to make an appointment to meet him. I also wanted to know about the progress of the Xingshui Bridge."

At that time, Qiao Yu was in the capacity of a consultant to guide the construction drawings produced by Xingshui's local design institute, which passed the review quickly, and he did not need to continue to follow up on the follow-up links. Will continue to care about the situation behind.

"When did you think about what you said just now?" Qiao Yu was a little shocked when he heard Xia Xiaoli express himself so logically and completely for the first time.

Xia Xiaoli smirked, Jian Rong asked about life experience, Xia Xiaoli had never thought about such a big question, the reason why he said these words was because he had thought about other things, about love and feelings.

The truth is the same, people who love excessively will lose the ability to love sooner or later, and people who experience life excessively and pursue new and exciting things will definitely forget what they are really pursuing.

But he didn't tell Qiao Yu that he had thought about it. He only said vaguely and with a little resentment: "I never thought about such a grand life problem. Didn't someone tell me to experience the love of my peers more? Just think about who I want to fall in love with and how many people I want to talk about."

"Really." Qiao Yu only responded lightly: "How do you think?"

Xia Xiaoli looked out the window leisurely, and said lightly, "It's not interesting."

Qiao Yu didn't speak, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.

When the two arrived at Xia's villa, the family members had already arrived neatly, not only the two sisters, Xia Xiaoberry also brought Lin Wu, Xia Xiaoli looked at the room full of women, and only sighed in her heart that it was a good thing there was a Qiao My brother can support the situation, otherwise I will really look like Jia Baoyu the more I live.

Qiao Yu was still wearing the suit he wore when he was giving a speech. The group of women went crazy when they entered the room. Xia Xiaocheng let out an exaggerated "Wow——" with starry eyes. Did you come back?"

Baizhu liked it even more, she smiled at Xia Yunhan and said, "Oh, look, Teacher Qiao has compared you."

As Xia Yunhan's number one fan, Bai Zhu never easily said who could compare to her husband. Qiao Yu was so bright today, Xia Yunhan laughed: "I'm a construction site worker, how can I compare with Teacher Qiao?"

Brother Qiao today is even more dazzling than a star, Xia Xiaoli watched silently from the sidelines, still thinking about the clip of the sharing session in the afternoon. in the personality charm.

The weather was getting colder, dinner was not in the yard, so a big round table was set up in the dining room, and Xia Xiaoli was naturally next to Qiao Yu. For some reason, he felt that Qiao Yu was in a particularly good mood today.

It was an ordinary family dinner, and we chatted about everyone's current situation. Xia Xiaoberry's tattoo shop is still booming, and he plans to continue to hold a series of exhibitions with Lin Wu next year. After the last exhibition, curators from several art galleries have already posted Come invite.

Xia Xiaocheng's academic live broadcast is not wrong, she has signed a contract with a certain platform, and has become their head beauty anchor, Xia Xiaoli's midterm exam has improved again, Qiao Yu's concern about the Xingshui Bridge project is progressing smoothly, Xia Yunhan took many live photos After viewing the photos and videos, Qiao Yu nodded repeatedly. The project schedule was faster than he expected, and the project could be completed in half a year.

Xia Xiaoli got the permission, and drank a little wine. His face was slightly flushed in the autumn night when the heating was turned on. The whole room was full of family members and loved ones. He was very happy and relaxed. After eating, he leaned on the back of the chair Listening lazily to others chatting.

Almost subconsciously, Xia Xiaoli listened to her intuition, and stretched out her right hand to hold Qiao Yu's left hand hanging down on her lap. Qiao Yu was still talking to Xia Yunhan, paused for a while, and then continued.

Xia Xiaoli didn't know why Qiao Yu let him indulge tonight, and didn't shake off the hand he held. Maybe it was inconvenient, maybe it was because she was afraid of making too much noise. In short, a ball of honey surged in Xia Xiaoli's chest, her eyes smiled, A kind of secret joy that the little trick succeeded, and felt as if he was really drunk.

After finishing a bottle of sparkling wine, Xia Xiaocheng couldn't get enough of it. She got up and went to the wine cabinet to get another bottle of wine. She walked behind Xia Xiaoli and Qiao Yu, opened the wine cabinet and picked one. To the hand that was held under the table to conceal the eyes and ears.

The owners of the two hands didn't notice, one leaned on the back of the chair like a lazy cat, and the other talked to the others with a normal expression, but the hands held under the table never separated.

Xia Xiaocheng suddenly felt a little dizzy and staggered. Seeing this, Xia Xiaoberry got up and walked towards her: "You see, your drinking capacity is just like this, and you still want to drink."

The hand that had been holding was quickly separated.

Xia Xiaoli's heart beat a few beats faster. Looking at the two older sisters behind her, Xia Xiaoberry glanced back at him: "You, don't drink anymore. You look like a drunk cat, and the tips of your ears are red."

Xia Xiaoli touched her ear, it was very hot.

When he just shook hands, he couldn't hear what the people on the table were talking about, but now he heard Lin Wu on the opposite side saying: "Brother Qiao, is there an event between your school and Columbia University? My cousin told me about his I’m going to China soon, and I’m going to Hongda University.”

Lin Wu's cousin?Isn't it Lin Zhihua?Xia Xiaoli's reaction was a few beats slow, and when she remembered it, her hairs all exploded.

Qiao Yu still didn't change his face, but turned his head to look at Xia Xiaoli, and then nodded to Lin Wu: "Yes, there is a whole academic exchange delegation from their school, and it will be next month."
