Chapter 834: Returning home before the Spring Festival, and a call from Professor Witten(2/2)
It was not that he was bothered by the visiting relatives during the Spring Festival, he was just worried that it would affect Ning Qingyun's rest and recuperation.
After all, carrying two babies, Ning Qingyun has a harder time than ordinary expectant mothers, and the quality of her sleep at night is not that good.
This year's Spring Festival is just as Qin Xiaoke said. It is foreseeable that big figures from all over the world will come to visit, and relatives from all walks of life will come to establish friendship. It is not even ruled out that some self-media anchors who are raking in traffic will join in the fun.
"Isn't it better to spend New Year's Eve and the first day of the Lunar New Year with my parents?" Ning Qingyun thought more carefully. After all, this is the first time after the wedding that she spent the Spring Festival at her parents-in-law's house. It didn't seem right to stay there for two days.
very good.
Qin Ke knew the personalities of his parents very well and said with a smile: "Don't worry about this, but you really have to stay in Qingping Town on New Year's Eve and the first day of the new year to deal with the greetings from all kinds of big shots."
My parents and grandpa still live in Yuanzhou, and the seawater desalination and purification project is settled in Yuanzhou. Some human contacts are indispensable, especially to give some face to the bosses in the province and city.
Qin Ke was making plans for the Spring Festival when his cell phone suddenly rang.
Qin Ke was a little surprised by the name on the caller ID. He answered the phone: "Hello, Professor Witten. I am Qin Ke."
Edward Witten's familiar beautiful English came from the other end of the phone: "Academician Qin, won't I disturb you?"
"It's okay, I'm just in the car. Professor Witten, do you want to see me for anything?"
Qin Ke was not as familiar with Edward Witten as he was with Faltings, but they often met at foreign academic exchange conferences and had a pleasant chat. The two were close friends for many years, and Edward Witten was also present last time.
Ning Qingyun's wedding gave Qin Ke a lot of face.
Although Edward Witten did not win the Nobel Prize in Physics, he is definitely one of the smartest theoretical physicists today. He has made great contributions in particle physics theory, supersymmetric quantum field theory, general relativity, string theory, quantum gravity and mathematical physics.
The level in other fields is among the best in the world.
And in contrast to Faltings, who is full of arrogance and makes people afraid to approach him, Professor Witten is humorous, gentle and loves to laugh, and is very approachable. Qin Ke respects this old man who is over seventy years old and has a close relationship with him.
intimate.
Naturally, talking on the phone with such an old friend does not require too much politeness, so Qin Ke went straight to the point.
Professor Witten smiled and said: "My wife and I are very interested in Xia Kingdom, especially the Spring Festival in your hometown Yuanzhou. We would like to come over and experience it. I wonder if it will disturb you?"
Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun next to him looked at each other and were both surprised.
