Chapter 394 Attention

It was the time to eat at half past 11, but Wen Xu's family could not eat on time as usual, because Hang Chen, the girl, didn't know where to go crazy and disappeared! Wen Xu looked around the whole village and found that not only her, but many children from many families had not come back, and almost the dozen children who followed her were gone were gone.

"Are you back?"

After searching for a while, he didn't see a bunch of children. Wen Xu stood at the door of his yard and asked his uncle.

Hang Xiangdong shook his head: "No! I don't know where this girl went crazy. I don't know how to go home for dinner at this time! I must scold her when I come back!"

"Why do I go and look for it again?" Wen Xu said.

Hang Xiangdong said, "Don't look for it. Let's eat first and leave some for her and put it on the pot and heat it. Wait this time, wait again next time, and it's not good to develop a habit for a long time!"

Wen Xu heard what his uncle said, thinking for a while, he felt it was right, so he raised his legs into the yard and prepared to go into the house for dinner.

Who knew that Wen Xu had just walked two steps and a cheerful voice came from the gate of the yard: "Brother, brother, see what I caught?"

Wen Xu and Hang Xiangdong heard the sound and didn't know who was back. They stopped and turned to look at the door.

Hang Chen took Xiaoer to the yard, followed by Gu Fen, Qian Pan and Xu Yinan. As for Niu Niu and Keke, they were missing. They must have gone back to their home for dinner.

Now these people are dirty, all of them are muddy. It’s fine if they have them on their trousers, but each of them has a lot of muddy ideas on their faces, and most of them are behind their ears and necks. I don’t know how these three people do it. Even if they roll in the mud, they don’t necessarily get such an effect.

When Hang Xiangdong saw his daughter coming back, he immediately glared and said in a stern tone: "Why are you here now? Look at what time it is past twelve o'clock, who hasn't eaten yet, just run away by yourself, why do you still take the children from the village to run away!"

Wen Xu saw that this was not a good time to scold her. There were three outsiders next to her, so she also gave her cousin some face.

So while my uncle was speaking, he opened his mouth and answered the conversation: "I'll come back early next time and get home at 11 o'clock. It's not even half past 11 at the latest. If you have anything to delay, it's okay to call your home. We've been looking for you here for almost an hour."

"I was wrong. I wanted to call, but there was no signal there!"

Hang Chen was in high spirits now. After explaining for himself, he reached out and raised his arm, signaled to Hang Xiangdong and Wenxu, and then said, "Look, what I got, it's all big frogs, about twenty, we caught them ourselves! The fruits of our labor."

Originally, Wen Xu thought it was a good thing, but after a look, he found it was a frog, which was quite large. However, this thing was too common in the village. It was common that Wen Xu didn't even have the heart to look at it carefully.

"What are you doing to catch frogs? They are very good for crops. Eat pests in the fields. Come and put them back for me!" Hang Xiangdong saw so many frogs, and they were big frogs in a watery way, and immediately said.

Hang Xiangdong grew up in the countryside and knew that there were many such frogs in the fields, and they might be caught in someone's fields. If they knew about it, even if they were not only talking, they would mutter behind their backs. Moreover, catching frogs is really not a good thing.

When Hang Chen heard this, he immediately said, "I won't let it go. Before I caught it, Keke said that there are many frogs here, but I didn't catch them alone. Almost all the children have been caught and they also said they can be sold on the street. I caught so many of them and want to eat the legs of the frogs in the dry pot."

When Hang Chen heard that his father wanted to put the frog back after finally catching it, he immediately became unhappy.

Wen Xu said: "Uncle, if she wants to eat frogs, let her eat it. This thing is everywhere in the fields and ponds in the village, but toads are rare!"

"Really? You kid aren't lying to me, right? There is no place to dislike many frogs now!" Hang Xiangdong looked disbelieving.

Wen Xu replied: "Really! If you don't believe it, wait until you finish your meal and take you to the field to see. There are so many things. Although the village does not allow you to catch it in a big way, there is no limit to catching it yourself!"

Hearing this, Hang Xiangdong's face calmed down a little, but he still glared at his daughter.

At this moment, Mr. Chi's figure appeared at the door. The old man didn't expect that there was a person in the yard. So he looked at it and asked, "What are you doing? After eating, you can eat?"

"I haven't eaten yet!" Hang Xiangdong smiled at Mr. Chi. The two of them met each other last night. Although both professors do not belong to the same subject, they are all old people who have been staying in college all year round. There are quite a lot of topics and they are very familiar with each other in less than ten minutes.

When Mr. Chi heard that he hadn't eaten yet, he immediately said, "It's just right, let's go to our house to eat. Today, an old friend of mine came back. Wen Xu is quite familiar with him. Lao Jia is also a professor in our school!"

"Her old man Jia is back?" Wen Xu asked in surprise.

Mr. Chi nodded and said, "Yeah, I'm back. I've brought a lot of money back this time. While I'm going to expand our laboratory, I'm also going to set up a research station in the forest. I guess he will be home in the future. I don't know that he came back today and called half an hour ago! You said this old man is angry! Fortunately, I haven't eaten yet at noon today, otherwise I can only have two meals! I've been looking for someone in front of you, but I haven't eaten, so I came over to see if you have eaten. If you don't eat, go to our house to be a guest."

"The meal at home is ready! Why don't Wenxu go?" Hang Xiangdong heard that Mr. Chi came to treat him, so he found someone to make an excuse to push Wenxu out.

Mr. Chi said, "Just do this. I won't invite my child and younger siblings. You and Wenxu have come to me, and there is no one but our couple, plus Lao Jia, and then your nephew and uncle plus one Yu Yao, and how many of them have a drink. What do you think?"

When Wen Xu heard Mr. Chi say this, he said to his uncle: "Then let's go! The old man comes and invites him, so we don't push him."

Hang Xiangdong thought for a while and nodded: "Then I'll go and say something to my wife!"

"Dad, go, I'll talk to my mom about this!" Hang Chen turned his head and said to the three followers behind him: "Let's go! Go for dinner!"

It’s rare that Gu Fen and the other two were a little embarrassed today and knew they were polite.

Gu Fen blushed and waved his hands: "No, no, we go home to eat, and the town is connected to the bus..."

"Okay, don't pretend to be polite. Come into the house and have a meal soon. Now go home and eat at home. Don't eat at home yet." Wen Xu said to the three girls, and signaled them to go into the house with their cousin.

After hearing Wen Xu say this, the three of them are not polite. After a little twisted, they followed Hang Chen into the house. The three of them had no plans to go home to eat. First, the food at each house is not as delicious as Wen Xu's, and second, they are too lazy to run to the county town.

Wen Xu and Hang Xiangdong followed Mr. Chi out of the yard and walked towards the old man's house.

When I arrived at the old man's house, the air conditioner had already started to turn on. The living room was so cool that I was confused. Teacher Ma was busy cooking in the kitchen at this time.

Yu Yaoren has arrived and is just trying to attack Teacher Ma.

Wen Xu saw that Mr. Jia had not arrived yet, so he asked casually: "Mr. Jia has not arrived yet?"

After asking, I didn't wait for everyone to answer, and I automatically went into the kitchen to turn on the starting mode.

When Mr. Chi saw Hang Xiangdong politely going to the kitchen, he immediately reached out and pulled him: "Let's stop joining in the fun. Besides, our kitchen is small and we can't stay there. So many people, so we two are chatting in the living room and waiting for the meal."

How could Mr. Chi ask Hang Xiangdong, who came to the kitchen for the first time, to help? He caught him and sat on the sofa in the living room and was busy making tea for Hang Xiangdong. Moreover, the tea was still made. It was not Fu Zeyan, a specialty of Wenjia Village, but the best Yuqian Longjing that the old man himself got.

Tea is naturally good tea. Hang Xiangdong sat down on the sofa, took a breath, praised a few words and asked a few polite words to the old man, and then asked, "Old brother, how did you come to Wenjia Village?"

"This is related to tea. Now I think about it, it's all fate!" Mr. Chi then told me about the discovery of the ancient tea tree in Wenjia Village.

"At that time, there were not many people interested in the school, but many people were not enough, or the research direction was not suitable. I happened to have a project I had finished and happened to take on it. When I was taking it, my idea was very simple, so I wanted to use this tea tree to create a little reputation and make a decent retirement. But now it seems that things are not as easy as I think!"

Mr. Chi was very happy about the reason for mentioning it. He was glad that he took on this project at the beginning, but when he thought of his current research topic, he seemed to be in a dead end, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

"Brother, are you having a difficult point?" Hang Xiangdong asked.

Mr. Chi nodded: "Well, it's because of the failure to cultivate new plants. Even if the branches and leaves on the old tree are cut off and grafted onto other branches, the tea grown is far less than the quality of the vegetables produced by the old tree. Not to mention the new plants transplanted, it seems to be a bit degenerating as they grow. In short, it is completely different from what we think, and it breaks our original cognition."

Hang Xiangdong is also an expert in science. He knows that some things may be very simple after you understand them, but before you figure them out, you can get rid of your hair. Science sometimes is a moment of inspiration. If you figure it out, you will figure it out. If you can't figure it out, you will torture you to death.

Although we are not in the same industry, the general things are similar. Hang Xiangdong knows the truth and knows that the brother in front of us has encountered problems in academics. Unfortunately, he knows the problem and has no way to solve the problem.

Just as I was about to comfort Brother Chi, I looked up and saw an old man about sixty years old at the door pushed open the door and walked in.

"Old Jia, hurry up!"

When Hang Xiangdong heard Brother Chi call this man Lao Jia, he knew that this person was the protagonist of the meal today, so he politely stood up with Professor Chi.

"This is Wen Xu's uncle, and teaching at Capital University is our colleague." Mr. Chi introduced Hang Xiangdong to Professor Jia.

Professor Jia didn't care much about Hang Xiangdong at first. He was used to ignoring people. However, when he heard that this uncle was Wen Xu, he immediately looked at Hang Xiangdong for a few more times: "Look for a long time, look for a long time!"

After saying that, he shook hands with Hang Xiangdong, and then asked Mr. Chi, "Where is Wen Xu?"

Before the old man could speak, he saw Wen Xu's busyness in the kitchen. His eyes fell on Wen Xu's body, and he didn't even look at the two people next to the sofa. He walked towards the kitchen without even throwing his words.

When Mr. Chi saw that his face was a little embarrassed, he turned to Hang Xiangdong and explained, "Don't take it to heart. He is not because he doesn't respect you. Sometimes I always feel so angry that my heart hurts."

Hang Xiangdong felt a little grudge in his heart. Anyone who encountered such a thing would feel a little unhappy. He was ignored so directly. If he had a good mood, it would be strange.

But it’s not easy to say anything. You can’t be a guest in other people’s houses, and it’s impolite to compete with others. So you have to smile: “It’s okay, some scholars don’t care about mundane things too!”

Not to mention Mr. Chi and Hang Xiangdong, but to say Mr. Jia had arrived at the kitchen, he didn't help. He stood directly at the door and chatted with Wen Xu and Yu Xiangdong.

"Wenxu, my research project has been intentionally injected with foreign funds"

"Oh? Which country?"

"A university in Japan wants to contribute not only to fund it, but also to send some zoologists to participate in the research!" said Mr. Chi.

Wen Xu was not happy when he heard this news. Instead, he thought: Why did something happen here? The Japanese knew so quickly! The Japanese were so well-informed. Everyone got the news here but it was not heard at this time. The European and American sides probably didn’t say anything yet. The Japanese noticed it first. No wonder they said that the Japanese have never relaxed their attention to China, and they have never taken it aside!

"Did you agree?" Yu Yao asked.

Professor Jia said: "What are the solutions if you don't agree? Besides, Japanese scholars will bring better equipment and advanced management methods. Where will our school disagree!"

After hearing this, Wen Xu felt a little like he had eaten a fly, but then he thought that if the Japanese came, they would not be able to stop him. Then he would only be "slaughtered" at that time.
