Qin Xiaoke turned to the page where he drew the illustrations and gently stroked the lines on the drawing. He didn't know what he was thinking about. When Qin Ke paused to write the paper and stretched out to rest and move his hands and feet, the little girl suddenly

He said softly: "Brother."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"Did my illustrations and cover images help you and Sister Ning?"

Qin Ke turned around and said with a smile: "That's a big help. According to the publisher's research, many readers decided to open the book after seeing your cover."

Qin Xiaoke smiled, lowered his head and said, "Then can I learn to draw in the future? Then I will always be with you and Sister Ning, helping you draw all kinds of paintings. Is that good?"

Qin Ke said in surprise: "You decided to learn painting so quickly? There is still more than a year before the junior high school entrance examination. Do you want to stop thinking about it?"

Qin Xiaoke shook his head: "I'm not as smart as you, brother. I can't do well in school. No matter how hard I try, I can only reach the middle level. I'm also good at painting and singing, but I don't like jumping around very much. If

Learning to sing involves going on stage to sing and dance. There are so many strangers, and I don't like it. So, I just chose painting, and if I follow you and Sister Ning, no one will bully me, hehe."

"Okay, but even if you want to be an art student, you have to work harder in the cultural subjects. At least you have to get 80 points or more in each subject. If you haven't changed this decision before the junior high school entrance examination, what happens next

Just leave it to me."

Qin Ke had already thought about it for his sister. He would go to Yingyuan Private High School to study in high school. That was his territory. He didn't have to worry about Qin Xiaoke's admission, let alone the little girl being bullied there.

Principal Wen introduced a senior art teacher in the school to give Qin Xiaoke special training courses. After the college entrance examination, he tried to get into the Beijing Academy of Fine Arts.

"Well, by the way, brother, didn't you say yesterday that you would transfer 80,000 yuan in royalties for painting covers and illustrations to me? I've thought about it. You can keep it for me. If I do things for you in the future, what other income will there be?

, you will keep it for me as well. In the future, my expenses for studying and other things can be deducted from it, so I don’t have to spend dad’s or your money.”

Qin Ke looked at the little girl's childish face and couldn't help but reach out and rub her hair: "Silly girl, you are still a child, why do you think of all this?"

Qin Xiaoke whispered: "Because... because you have Sister Ning now. You have to save your money for your future marriage with Sister Ning. You can no longer spend money on me casually..."

"Silly girl." Qin Ke flicked her forehead: "First, your sister Ning and I are not short of money. Your sister Ning likes you very much and is happy to spend money for you. Second, you are my sister.

You are my family, and taking care of you is a matter of course. Stop talking nonsense in front of me."

"Oh..." Qin Xiaoke said nothing more, looking down at the copy in his hand. After Qin Ke took a break, he continued to concentrate on writing the paper.

Qin Xiaoke's fingers moved gently on the bed, as if he were writing something. Looking at the strokes, they vaguely resembled "sister" and "family".

…

Qin Ke stayed at home for a long time. On the afternoon of October 6, after making sure that Qin Xiaoke's cold was gone and his fever was gone, he picked up his luggage, got into his grandfather's car, and went to the city together.

"Qin Ke, how are you preparing for the international chemistry competition? Why did Professor Shi tell me that you are working on a computer paper recently?"

Grandpa Shen Tieshan asked while driving.

As Qin Ke's achievements and fame grew, although Shen Tieshan still habitually kept a straight face, when he looked at Qin Ke, the lines on his face had obviously softened.

"I'm also preparing for the International Chemistry Competition, so it shouldn't be a problem. I'm writing a computer paper mainly to lighten my mood, learn more knowledge, and practice writing an operating system."

"Write an operating system to practice your skills? Are you wrong? Write a small program to practice your skills?" Although Shen Tieshan is a professor in the Department of Chemistry, he also has a certain understanding of computers and knows how difficult it is to develop an operating system. , I simply don’t believe that anyone can write an operating system by himself.

"It is a very simple operating system with very rudimentary functions and is barely usable. It is mainly used to verify whether my idea of ​​a new operating system is correct."

"Oh." Shen Tieshan heard what he said lightly. He probably said it was a very simple experimental operating system. After all, it would be ridiculous for a company to just cover up the LINUX kernel and claim to have developed a new operating system on the Internet. not too much.

"You have to be down-to-earth when doing scientific research, and you can't be too ambitious. The operating system cannot be developed by one person. It's okay to treat it as a study, but there is no need to invest too much energy."

Shen Tieshan said earnestly: "You are still a high school student now, so you should focus on studying. As the saying goes, there is no end to learning. You haven't taken the international competitions in physics, chemistry, and biology yet. The difficulty of international competitions is no joke. Yes, there is no student in the world who can win gold medals in more than two international science competitions at the same time. If you want to break this world record, you must not relax or be complacent..."

"Okay, okay, grandpa, please continue. I am carrying it. When I quote these words in the future, should I indicate that they are Professor Shen's famous sayings?"

"You bastard, you've been out of shape all day!" Shen Tieshan was made to laugh and cry by his playful and smiling grandson. Especially now that the child has grown up, he has also reflected that he will no longer use the same old methods as before. way of education.

He changed the subject: "That good friend of yours is called Ning Qingyun, right? Are you going to be a guest at Professor Shi's house tomorrow? I plan to stay there one night and leave tomorrow night..."

"Grandpa is not a good friend, but a girlfriend. If you were here, she might not dare to visit Teacher Shi. Qingyun is still a little girl and has a tender skin. Even if you want to meet your future granddaughter-in-law, there is no need to rush..."

Shen Tieshan snorted: "You also know that she is a little girl? She fell in love early and didn't learn it well, hum! By the way, what does Xiao Ning's family do?"

Qin Ke blinked: "Grandpa, do you really want to know?"

"Tell me, she looks like she comes from a scholarly family and is very well-educated. If you don't have some achievements, you won't be worthy of her..."

Shen Tieshan said this, but he was a little proud in his heart. He thought that although his son-in-law's family conditions were not very good, he was still a chemistry professor at a prestigious university and had a certain status in the Huahai academic world. Not to mention that his grandson was also IMO. A world champion and a national champion in three science subjects, with a girl like this, it shouldn’t be too high a feat, right?

Qin Ke smiled and said: "Oh, she does come from a scholarly family. Her parents are both academicians of Xia Guo Academy of Sciences. Her grandfather is a senior geology professor who enjoys special allowances. Her grandmother is an authoritative expert on Xia Guo Biological Vaccine. , her grandparents seem to have sacrificed their lives on the front line of scientific research and were posthumously awarded as heroes of the country... She didn’t elaborate on the details, and I can’t ask in detail.”

Shen Tieshan gasped and parked the car on the side of the road. After asking Qin Ke to repeat it again, he glared at him and said, "You didn't mess with that little girl, did you?"

"Grandpa, what did you say? Who am I?"

"Then have you met her family?"

"Except for her dad, I've met everyone. I often go to have dinner with her grandma."

"Did you bring any gifts when you came to your home? No, I don't trust what you are doing. I have to prepare some gifts and pay a formal visit in person. I can't let your family look down upon you..."

Seeing his grandfather wiping his sweat and talking non-stop, Qin Ke felt warm and a little funny.

I didn't expect that my grandpa, who was aloof and stubborn, also had such a side.

He smiled and shook his head: "Forget it, grandpa, when you see Qingjun, it won't be too late to visit her at home. Besides, when it comes to the engagement in the future, will you miss the opportunity to appear? Why are you anxious? Woolen cloth?"

"You kid, do you know the weight of an academician? You should have two academicians in one subject. I'm afraid there won't be another such a prominent family in Huahai Province! You can't laugh like this when you go to someone else's house! "

Qin Ke smiled: "Don't worry, your grandson and grandson's wife will definitely become academicians in the future, so you don't have to be too nervous."

"You brat, you're loud enough!" Shen Tieshan snorted before restarting the car, but he couldn't help but dream about his grandson's future.

If this brat can really continue to create academic miracles like this, it is not impossible to be elected as an academician in the future...

I have a grandson who is an academician!

I just hope that I can see such a day before I am buried. When I go underground, I can also comfort his grandmother...

In the end, Shen Tieshan only stayed at Shi Cunyuan's place for one night, and he drove back early the next morning.

His old friend Lin Haibo also laughed at him for not daring to see his grandson's wife. Shen Tieshan said sternly: "I call this democracy and freedom. Old men like us should not interfere in our children's private affairs."

"Hey, Old Shen, you didn't teach like this before."

“Can’t I keep pace with the times?”

"Okay, okay! Whatever you say is fine, haha."

"By the way... Lao Shi, please give this to Xiao Ning for me." Shen Tieshan ignored Lin Haibo, walked up to Shi Cunyuan, took out a jade bracelet wrapped in a red cloth bag, and handed it over carefully. In his hand:

"This is Grandma Qin Ke's favorite jade bracelet. Before she died, she said she would give it to her grandson's future daughter-in-law. Although I have never met Xiao Ning, I can tell that she is a good girl. This jade bracelet is Give it to her in advance, and let the girl know the sincerity of our family. In addition, Qin Ke and Xiao Ning are still children. If there is any quarrel in the future, Lao Shi, Lao Lin, you are Qin Ke's teachers, please mediate if it is convenient. …”

Mr. Shen, who had always had a cold face, had a rare moment of chattering for a long time before saying goodbye and leaving.

Shi Cunyuan and Lin Haibo looked at each other and sighed in their hearts.
