Chapter 242: Take your time to study
The two red-painted "walkie-talkies" were Qiu Huoming's proudest works in recent times. Early in the morning, he took the two machines to the grove near East Lake.
He sat on the ground and adjusted the intercom. After a while, Zhao Jiamin came over.
"Is this it?" she asked, moving closer and squatting beside him.
"Looks good, right? That's it. I'll teach you how to use it. We'll set a fixed time and turn on the intercom. If you have something to say, just say it. If you don't, just turn it off after ten minutes."
"Okay, did you do this yourself?" Zhao Jiamin looked at the two weird guys curiously.
"Of course, take a look..." Qiu Huoming picked up one of the machines and turned it over to show her the bottom. "This one is yours, with the word 'Min' written on it. The one next to it is mine, with the word 'Huo' written on the bottom."
Zhao Jiamin's face turned slightly red and she reached out to take her own machine.
"Let me show you..."
Qiu Huoming started from turning on the power and explained everything in detail.
The pavilion in the middle of the lake is the Lover's Island. There were actually couples there early in the morning. A man and a woman were being affectionate with each other. Qiu Huoming quickly looked away from the vague movements through the weeping willows.
Zhao Jiamin is a science student herself and can learn anything once taught.
"No need. I really have something to do today." Qiu Huoming didn't have a good impression of this somewhat weird senior brother.
Today is Sunday and no one has classes. Along the way, I met several people who were reading books early in the morning. Qiu Huoming was very moved to see them being so diligent on this rare Sunday.
Qiu Huoming reached out to take it, his face changed, "You..."
As soon as he saw Qiu Huoming, a look of joy immediately appeared on his face, "It's you!" His gaze moved from Qiu Huoming's face to the machine.
As soon as Qiu Huoming came out of the path, he saw a boy looking around at the intersection.
"Import and export company? Eh, do you know Chen Li, Section Chief Chen?"
Hearing Teacher Xu's words, Qiu Huoming stopped immediately. "Nice to meet you." He stretched out his hand and shook his hand. "I really have something else to do today. I'll find a chance to talk to you again."
"Hey, that's awesome, why don't we just set the time we get back to the dormitory after school as a fixed time for talking?"
"Well, that's fine too."
Qiu Huoming walked quickly towards the pavilion in the middle of the lake holding his walkie-talkie.
Huang Hongsheng nodded, "Of course I recognize her. She is a capable person in our unit."
"Okay, let's do it."
"I'm sorry, I met a weird guy who asked me all kinds of questions and got delayed." Qiu Huoming explained hurriedly.
Then, he coughed lightly and pressed the call button next to him, "Huang He Huang He, this is Tai Shan, please reply if you receive it."
He had just taken a few steps when he saw the boy step sideways, blocking the intersection. "Don't leave in a hurry. Let me introduce myself. My name is Huang Hongsheng. I just graduated this year. This time I'm borrowing the lab to do something. I used to be a student of Teacher Xu."
"Okay, okay." Qiu Huoming had just put down the intercom when he was grabbed by him and walked towards the door.
After testing the intercom, he had to rush back to the dormitory. Today was the day for all dormitory members to go shopping at the 'Nanxiu Village' market. Lao Yang was generous today and planned to buy a set of clothes for himself and his brothers and sisters.
Qiu Huoming checked the time and it was almost time. He turned on the power of the intercom and vertically adjusted the antenna...
"When I heard the sound, it sounded familiar. Is this the machine? Is it finished?"
"Oh, okay." Qiu Huoming looked at her slightly hasty back, which seemed to be fleeing in panic, and stayed there in a daze. He lowered his head to look at the "walkie-talkie" in his hand and suddenly understood.
Huang Hongsheng immediately made way for him and asked, "How about we have lunch together at noon?"
Zhao Jiamin handed over the walkie-talkie in her hand, "I'll give it back to you..."
Qiu Huoming took the business card and glanced at it. It turned out that he was an employee of the import and export company. No wonder he had a business card. At that time, most workplaces did not have business cards.
"Let's try. I'll put it..." Zhao Jiamin stood up holding the machine and looked around. "I'll go to the pavilion in the middle of the lake and turn on the intercom in eight minutes. The distance between our dormitories is about this far..."
Her ears turned pink and she whispered, "Go back to the dormitory and find Lao Yang and the others. I'll go back by myself."
Qiu Huoming glanced at him and said, "Who are you? I have something else to do. I'm leaving now..."
He turned and walked away, crossed the main road, found a small path and walked in. There was no one there.
When Qiu Huoming rushed back to the dormitory with the intercom in his arms, Lao Yang was already getting impatient waiting. When he saw him appear, he immediately went to greet him, "Let's go, let's go. I heard that if you go too late, there will be no good stuff..."
"Then let's meet at the intersection..."
The corners of his mouth were raised, and his eyes were full of smiles.
"Let me exchange it with you." Zhao Jiamin readily took the one from Qiu Huoming's hand.
"I'm really leaving today. We'll talk later." Qiu Huoming took a step forward.
Qiu Huoming nodded, "I'll go, you stay where you are..."
Qiu Huoming then started jogging with the machine in his arms. When he reached the intersection of East Lake, Zhao Jiamin was already waiting there.
"okay."
"Okay, then...goodbye." Huang Hongsheng let him go reluctantly.
"Taishan Taishan, I am Huanghe. I got it. It's quite clear..."
Huang Hongsheng glanced at the intercom in his hand, feeling a little itchy, he took out a business card from his trouser pocket, "This is my workplace..."
"I'll come find you."
Chen Xi and Wen Yuanyi put their hands in their pockets, waiting in the corridor.
The group walked towards Nanxiu Village in a mighty procession.
Nanxiu Village is the dormitory area for faculty and staff. There is a market nearby and a vegetable market right next to it. There are also several shops and grocery stores. It doesn’t feel lively on weekdays, but it is crowded on Sundays. Merchants set up tents outdoors and do business only for that day.
When they arrived at the market, Qiu Huoming glanced at his watch. It was only 8 o'clock.
The first stall was selling clothes. Each piece was hung on a pole with a cardboard next to it with the price written on it. Several people who looked like students were standing there and looking through the clothes.
The market looks small from the outside, but it is quite large inside. Most of the items there are clothes and daily necessities. There are also bags for sale. Qiu Huoming took a fancy to a suitcase that was similar in style to the one that Old Qiao had in his hand on the train last time.
When passing by the stall, he asked by the way. The price was ridiculously low. Qiu Huoming's shopping DNA was immediately activated and he bought it on the spot.
Several people originally came to accompany Lao Yang to buy clothes, but they didn't expect that he hadn't bought anything yet. In a short while, everyone had bought a few items.
Yang Shijun suddenly became anxious, "Why do you all say that everything I wear is ugly?"
Qiu Huoming glanced at his sturdy figure and dark face. It wasn't his fault that he looked like this, but he liked fancy styles. How could this look good? That would be strange!
"You don't understand. This kind of clothes is popular in our place. It makes us look like city people." Yang Shijun held the bell-bottom pants and floral shirt he had just tried on in his hands, reluctant to let go.
"Then... how about..." Qiu Huoming and Chen Xi looked at each other and finally reached a consensus, "Then let's buy one."
A smile immediately broke out on Yang Shijun's face and he quickly paid the bill.
Next, buying things for his younger brothers and sisters became much easier. I just picked out a few clothes that were popular this year, picked the sizes, and bought them.
"Wait a minute, there are candles here. I'd like to buy a few. We often have power outages, and candles are brighter than kerosene lamps."
He selected a few white candles and picked out a pair of sandals for each of his parents. The weather in Hai Nan was hot, so sandals were perfect for the occasion.
The cloth bag he brought out was full in a short while.
"The things here are cheaper than those sold in our village..."
Yang Shijun was like a mouse that had fallen into a rice jar and was reluctant to get out.
It's a pity that my purse is too small and I have too little money.
When we finally left the market, it was already 11 o'clock in the morning.
Chen Xi sighed: "I didn't expect that a few grown men like us could go out shopping until noon..."
Wen Yuanyi couldn't put down a few T-shirts that were said to be the latest models in Hong Kong. "Let's go, let's go back and eat."
Qiu Huoming posed with a suitcase in his hand. “Does he look like an overseas Chinese?”
"They do look a bit alike, but they're too young..." Chen Xi was very supportive.
Many roads outside the market are still dirt roads, and occasional cars passing by raise dust.
"The wind is strong, hurry up..." Qiu Huoming started running with his suitcase.
After leaving Nanxiu Village and entering the campus, the road conditions immediately improved.
A few people returned to the dormitory, put their things down first, then picked up their lunch bags and thermoses and went downstairs.
Qiu Huoming followed them and filed into the cafeteria.
Life was back on track, the following days went on as planned, time passed quickly... and in the blink of an eye it was December.
The weather in Guangzhou is still lukewarm. At this time of year in previous years, people would have to wear cotton-padded clothes in their hometown, but here they only need to add a thin jacket in the morning and evening.
In mid-December, Teacher Xu announced the date of this year's final exams, which was a full week earlier than usual, which immediately caused a chorus of wailing.
This semester, Qiu Huoming is taking exams with his own class. Next semester, he will directly participate in the sophomore final exams.
During this period, Qiu Huoming did not seek to understand everything in depth. He read through the professional textbooks for his freshman and sophomore years. Now he only needed to read the textbooks for the public courses.
At noon, when school was about to end, he was called to the office by Teacher Xu.
Huang Xide has moved to an independent small office in the office. He and the new female teacher are both lecturers in charge of professional courses. In addition to professional courses, they are also responsible for experimental courses.
Their way of thinking is very different from that of domestic scholars. Qiu Huoming likes to take their classes very much. They like to interact with students and there are often academic sparks.
In addition, they both have a somewhat Westernized style and speak their mind, which is very useful to Qiu Huoming. These two have only been teaching officially for ten days or so, but they have already won the love of many students.
Especially Zhang Rui. As a young female teacher in the temple-like engineering college, she was like sunshine, blinding the eyes of countless technical geeks.
Qiu Huoming walked to the door of Teacher Xu's office and heard voices of conversation inside. He thought it was Teacher Huang Xide inside, so he knocked on the door.
"Come in."
Qiu Huoming was stunned when he pushed the door open. Sitting opposite Teacher Xu was the weird senior brother Huang Hongsheng.
"Come here and move a chair to sit down." Teacher Xu didn't even raise his head. He finished writing the materials in his hand and then put down the pen.
Huang Hongsheng greeted Qiu Huoming in a low voice.
"I asked you to come here today because Hongsheng wants to talk to you about something. He said you have a machine that can be used for long-distance communication..."
Huang Hongsheng immediately explained: "I saw that you didn't come to see me, so I had no choice but to come to see Teacher Xu. When I described you like this, he recognized you..."
Teacher Xu smiled and said, "Who else in our college can be as tall as 1 meters?"
Qiu Huoming scratched the back of his head, "Brother Huang, are you looking for me just for that machine?"
Huang Hongsheng's expression became more serious. "Let me make it clear. I am very interested in your machine. If it can be used commercially, I can even let our company apply for a patent for your product."
His eyes were burning, "That day I..."
"Sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop. I just stumbled upon it. The sound in the machine that day was much clearer than that day in the lab. How did you do that? Also, what is your current call distance?"
"If I provide the components, can you improve this product?"
Teacher Xu was stunned for a moment. "Hongsheng, he is still a student. It is not appropriate for your company to hire him."
"I have looked for several 'radio' factories, but their products are still in the 'radio' era, and their thinking cannot get away from these concepts..."
“It’s too big.”
Qiu Huoming spread his hands and said, "The size of mine is not small either."
"Well, this time I brought a prototype from abroad, take a look..."
Huang Hongsheng bent down and opened a briefcase at his feet, and took out a heavy paper box.
"I'll leave this machine with you, please study it..."
Teacher Xu showed a hint of displeasure on his face, "Huo Ming is going to take an exam, so don't let him be distracted during this time."
Qiu Huo clearly understood what Teacher Xu meant. This exam was related to his plan to skip a grade in the future. If he did not do well in the first exam, then skipping a grade would be a joke.
"It's okay. I'm not in a hurry. I just want to put the things down and study them anytime."
Now that things have come to this, it is difficult for Teacher Xu to refuse.
He stood up and said, "Okay, leave the things here with me first. I will give them to Huo Ming after he finishes the exam."
Huang Hongsheng saw him stand up, which meant he was sending him away. He showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, "Teacher Xu, I'm sorry, you know me, I have no ill intentions, I just feel happy to see the prey..."
Teacher Xu patted him on the shoulder and said, "With your personality, if you work hard in the company, you won't have to worry about not getting good results. I don't blame you, but the timing is a bit inappropriate."
"Okay, you go back first, I'll talk to Huo Ming."
Huang Hongsheng nodded, bent down and picked up the briefcase, "Then I'll go back first. I'll come back after my junior brother finishes the exam..."
Qiu Huoming saw him out the door.
Then he walked back and looked at Teacher Xu and said, "I'm going to Shenhai after my exams, so I probably don't have time to do this."
Teacher Xu smiled, "Okay, got it. Wait a minute. Today I want to talk to you about our trip to Shenhai..."
He sat back in his chair, opened the drawer, and took out a list. "You are on a business trip this time, and the expenses will be paid by the college..."
"Fill out the bill and remember to bring back the reimbursement receipt..."
