intellectual norms

Xia Xiaoli and Xia Xiaocheng both lived on the island that night, and the staff gave Xia Xiaocheng a separate room, but Xia Xiaoli directly stayed in Qiao Yu's suite, which had two beds.

The accommodation conditions were very good. Xia Xiaoli slept soundly for most of the night after being bumpy. He didn't know that he was still snoring. When he woke up the next day, the sky was bright, the snow had stopped, and a ray of golden sunlight pierced through The curtains fell on the carpet in front of the bed.

It's rare for Qiao Yu to be lazy today, Xia Xiaoli opened her eyes dimly, just in time to see the person on the bed next to her who was covering the quilt and still not getting up, "Morning." Qiao Yu's voice was a little hoarse in the morning.

"Morning, brother Qiao." Xia Xiaoli stretched under the quilt: "What are you doing today?"

"It's all right. After breakfast in the cafeteria, the film crew will make up a few exterior shots and then return to Denghong. The delegation is leaving for tonight's plane."

Xia Xiaoli blinked her eyes, Lin Zhihua was going back, but brother Qiao didn't go with him, and stayed here, it's great.

So he smiled stupidly.

"What? What are you laughing at?" Qiao Yu's hair was messed up when she slept, and she didn't look like a "male god" during the day. "Are you so happy that the delegation is leaving?"

"Hey." Xia Xiaoli rolled over the quilt and smiled again with her back to the person. When she was satisfied, she turned back and said proudly, "I'm just happy."

"Stupid."

Qiao Yu checked the time, it was getting late, Chen Ke sent a message saying that he and the delegation were already in the cafeteria, Qiao Yu then urged himself and the little lazy cat to get up, and went to eat after washing up.

Lin Zhihua saw the two coming in together, his eyes seemed to be frozen, and he turned to the side forcefully, Qiao Yu saw it, but he could only pretend that he didn't see it, but Chen Ke was stunned, and whistled softly, So he got a fist from Qiao Yu.

Xia Xiaocheng also just got up, wearing a set of men's clothing that was obviously much bigger, when Xia Xiaoli pulled her sleeves at the buffet counter, Xia Xiaocheng gave him a look: "I can't still wear yesterday's skirt, right?" Teacher Chen sent it to me early in the morning, I have to thank him when I go back."

Xia Xiaoli: I didn't say anything... Looking back at Chen Ke, he was talking to the delegation, and he asked his sister, "Are you okay with Teacher Chen?"

"Oh, why are you beating me?" Xia Xiaoli complained, "I'll just ask..."

Xia Xiaocheng laughed, and whispered, "My inspection period hasn't passed yet, let's see how he behaves."

...the investigation period...Xia Xiaoli heard this word back, is there still this stage for adults to fall in love?

Back in Denghong City, Xia Xiaoli went back to her apartment to continue doing her research questions. Qiao Yu and Chen Ke sent the delegation to the airport. The lively and tortuous academic exchange activities between the two universities officially came to an end. Resolute, some people feel uneasy and then happy, just like a gorgeous and grand episode is withdrawn, and life returns to the ordinary and simple normal track.

In the blink of an eye, after New Year's Day, what awaits Xia Xiaoli is his most important final exam. After the last monthly exam, he has already sat in the second exam room in the positive order, and he is only one step away from the top one. Xiaobu, the people in it know how huge and difficult this step is. It is an examination room for the top 30 in the grade. Even if you take the test of 985211, it is also the top group in this examination room, and he is still in the second place. The middle half of the examination room.

If he doesn't get into the first exam room, he won't even think about the winter vacation and the Spring Festival.

The atmosphere in the whole grade and the class is becoming more and more dignified. It is rare for the teenagers who spent a whole night of Christmas to be presumptuous, but they really just gave themselves a night, letting go as they say, and accepting as they say. Come more intense and oppressive.

Qiao Yu is also very busy at the end of the semester. This is the first batch of students he has brought after he came back, and he must have a good teaching result. In order to let him adapt to the environment, the leaders of the school did not allow him to get too involved in the activities of the Design Institute for the past six months. In addition to teaching, he was only responsible for an academic exchange activity at Columbia University, and the students' final exam scores were his grades.

Fortunately, these third-year students have a good foundation, and the attendance rate of each professional class is 100%, so he is not too worried.

The winter vacation of the university started earlier than the third year of high school, and when Qiao Yu was busy summarizing the various work of the final exam in the department, and finally could breathe a sigh of relief, Xia Xiaoli was still preparing for the exam day and night.

After the last teacher work summary meeting of the School of Civil Engineering and Engineering, it was officially on vacation. Back in the design building, most of the colleagues had left. Qiao Yu packed up his things and was about to leave. Zhou Yishen came out of the office and stopped him.

The old leader smiled amiably, "Is there only a few days in a year where you can relax and chat together?"

"Okay." Qiao Yu likes this direct leader very much, who is also a teacher and a friend.

Zhou Yishen usually doesn't pay much attention to the things in life, and relies on his wife to take care of them. At this time, he rarely makes a pot of good tea when he is free, and chats with Qiao Yu while drinking.

"Little Qiao, it's been half a year since you came back, right?"

"Well, it's been half a year since I came back in June."

"I've been working in our hospital for half a year, how do you feel?" Qiao Yu finished his tea, and Zhou Yishen continued for him. Qiao Yu bent a finger and tapped on the table to express his intention.

Facing this problem, Qiao Yu thought for a while before saying: "It went smoothly than I expected, and it also made me more invested and liked than I expected."

This is the truth. Although his decision to return to China was made under extremely rational circumstances, he did not have high expectations for the specific work affairs after his return.

But the facts told him that everything far exceeded his expectations.

Leaders value it, students love it, and keeping up with the superiors and subordinates has become a relationship between teachers and friends. This is the best relationship.

Colleagues get along with each other in a simple way. Those who are construction workers are busy with projects and have no time and thought to engage in complicated interpersonal relationships.

"That's good, that's good." Zhou Yishen looked at him with a smile in his eyes, like looking at his own child: "I was worried before, so I went all the way to persuade you to come back, if you live here Not happy, I feel so guilty.”

Qiao Yu was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that the seemingly rough old dean would have such delicate concerns. "How could that be?" He said, "I have a great sense of belonging here."

Zhou Yishen lowered his eyes as if thinking about something, and said after a while, "Little Qiao, there may be a big project in the next year that requires you to participate."

Qiao Yu nodded immediately: "No problem, it should be."

Doing this business means working on one project after another. Qiao Yu has been doing this for so many years. Apart from being a design consultant for the Huixingshui Bridge in the past six months, he has not done any other work, but he is still not used to it.

He asked: "What project? Where is it?" Judging by Zhou Yishen's solemn attitude, it was probably a key project in the city or province.

Zhou Yishen said, "It's a national project. In Africa, we cooperate with the [-]th Bureau of China Railway." He continued to drink tea: "Our institute has been cooperating with the [-]th Bureau, and we have also done it in Africa in recent years There are many road and bridge projects, and now this plan will start after the Spring Festival, so I will tell you in advance."

I didn't expect it to be of this size, but Qiao Yu faintly felt excited. He hasn't challenged a difficult and large-scale project for a long time. Zhou Yishen looked at his expression, smiled, and said: "The project is difficult. , but it is also a good opportunity.”

"Well, can you tell me about the specific situation?"

"You also know that our country has always had a large number of infrastructure projects in Africa. Doing these projects is not only of economic significance to the country, but also of strategic significance. Leaving aside this, the project to be launched in the next year is located in Morocco. The overall project form is a highway, but there are two sections of viaducts across the valley, and our courtyard and you are mainly responsible for this part."

"The local terrain conditions are complex and technically very difficult. This is the main reason why the Thirteenth Bureau has asked you to participate. The project has only just been approved, and it still needs on-site surveys and plans to bid. The cycle is estimated to be about half a year. Understand There will be companies from the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany participating in the bidding, and they are all old rivals, so the pressure is not small."

Qiao Yu is not afraid of this kind of pressure. He has not done any projects in Africa yet, so he is willing to try.

Zhou Yishen added: "After the Spring Festival, the Survey Institute will conduct field surveys and then issue a report. At that time, you need to keep in close contact with them."

"No problem." If possible, Qiao Yu would like to go there with the Survey Institute. Although as long as the survey report is detailed enough, it is entirely possible to come up with a preliminary design plan based on the report, but it is still different from on-site understanding. This specification A project that doesn't want to be taken lightly.

"The strategic significance of the project is very important, but it is unlikely to make you more famous. Would you feel regretful if you won an international award?" Zhou Yishen asked.

Qiao Yu made a choice for this question many years ago. He smiled and simply replied with four words: "Things outside the body."

Zhou Yishen also responded with a hearty smile, and the two chatted about the work arrangements for the second half of the semester, and then they officially took the holiday.

Xia Xiaoli took the exam the day after tomorrow. During this period, he even had dark circles under his eyes. Qiao Yu was worried that he lived alone in the apartment. It is said that his mother Baizhu was accompanying his father during this time, so he planned to release Xia Xiaoli after the exam. If I am off, I will go back to my parents' house for a few days and spend the Spring Festival with my elders.

It is rare to have a few days of free time. Qiao Yu cleans the house at home, cooks, gives lectures to the children in the opposite door, has a supper at night, goes for a run in his free time, and searches for Morocco's geographical information on the Internet. The days are not boring.

On the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, Xia Xiaoli finally finished the exam. The next day, after the results are released and the transcripts are released, she can go on winter vacation. Qiao Yu also felt relieved. She packed up her things at home and prepared to go back to her parents the next day. Xia Xiaoli had nothing to do that day. Self-study in the evening, and when I came back from the exam in the afternoon, I asked him excitedly: "My father said that he would not come back for the Spring Festival, and he had to wait for the last part of the bridge in Xingshui to finish work. My mother is already there, let me go with my sisters." It’s Chinese New Year over there, Brother Qiao, do you want to go together? Dad said to take us to the hot spring.”

Um?Qiao Yu was taken aback.

Fortunately, the water is not far away, and it is not impossible to come back to the past at any time.

Just as he was thinking, Xia Yunhan's call came after him. He was still on the construction site, and with a loud voice, he sincerely invited him to come and play with him for two days. By the way, he would take a look at the glass trestle bridge that was almost completed, and Qiao Yu agreed with a smile.

"Wow, that's great!" Xia Xiaoli cheered for a second, and smashed the schoolbag with her winter vacation homework on the sofa in Qiao Yu's living room.
