Chapter 158 Winning Glory for the Country

On the day he was about to return to Shanghai, Song Nanfeng came to the school gate to say goodbye to Wu Bin, took out a book on optical principles from his bag and handed it to him and said, "Gu Ningshan asked me to give this to you. She said she had something to do this morning." I won’t come to see you off during class.”

"Oh, please thank her for me." Wu Bin took the book and nodded.

"I will, then... be careful on the road." After speaking, Song Nanfeng stretched out his hand and shook Wu Bin's hand, "As I said before, I'll wait for you at HKUST."

Wu Bin already understood what he needed to know, so no more words were left to him. The rest was left to him to choose.

"Thank you very much, Professor, for taking care of me these two days. Goodbye."

After waving goodbye to Song Nanfeng, Wu Bin got on the plane and returned to Shanghai. However, he did not rush to school, but stopped by his grandfather's house first.

"Yeah, it's Bin Bin! Come in, come in." The person who opened the door was Wu Bin's grandma. When she saw her eldest grandson suddenly appearing, she happily welcomed him into the house. "Why didn't you say hello in advance?"

"I came to see you when I was passing by." Wu Bin said with a smile.

When grandma heard this, she immediately smiled happily, poured Wu Bin a glass of water, and shouted into the room.

"Weiguo! Binbin is here."

Then I heard the door of the back room being opened, and an energetic grandpa came out.

Seeing Wu Bin sitting at the table drinking water, Wu Weiguo seemed very happy. He came over and sat opposite Wu Bin and said, "Bin Bin, why did you think of visiting grandpa today?"

Wu Bin put down the water glass and said to his grandfather with a smile: "Let me tell you something, grandpa. Didn't you see a trophy when you came to my house last Chinese New Year? Do you remember it?"

"Oh~ It's the national championship trophy for that competition, right? Your grandma has already shown it off to everyone in the neighborhood."

When grandma who was preparing pastries in the kitchen heard this, she immediately stuck her head out in dissatisfaction and said: "You old man, as I said, you didn't go and show off like others. Now that Old Li is walking around when he sees you, he is afraid that you will pull me away." He talked about his grandson."

"That's why he's afraid that he can't beat me at cards. He's just making excuses." Wu Weiguo finished speaking with a disdainful expression, then narrowed his eyes and continued to ask Wu Bin: "Then, what happened to the trophy?"

"In July this year, I will represent China in the Netherlands to participate in a physics competition. If I win the championship, I can go to the podium and wear the national flag."

When Wu Weiguo heard this, his eyes widened immediately. He grabbed Wu Bin with a trembling hand and said, "My grandson...is he going to win glory for the country!?"

"Hey, yes, just to win glory for the country." Wu Bin nodded.

"Okay! Great! Which channel will broadcast it then? Grandpa will definitely watch it!"

"Well..." Wu Bin smiled awkwardly, "This competition will not be broadcast on TV, so I have to take photos of the two moves and bring them back to you."

When Wu Weiguo heard this, he became angry and said with an unhappy face: "Why is this? Why won't the TV show the matter of bringing glory to the country? You are not the same as the Olympic athletes, why don't you show it?"

"Because the content of this game is not easy to make public, that's why it won't be broadcast live." Wu Bin couldn't tell his grandfather that it wasn't broadcast because no one was paying attention to the game, so he found a reason that was easier for his grandfather to accept.

"Oh...then there's nothing we can do. After all, it's a matter for scientists. It's understandable. It's understandable." Wu Weiguo nodded sadly, "Where did you say you were going to compete just now, Henan?"

"No, it's from the Netherlands, from Europe."

"Oh! This is the territory of the foreign devils, so you have to be more careful. They are very clever." Wu Weiguo sighed, "Grandpa, I can't go to foreign countries. Otherwise, I will go with you." Who dares to bully my grandson then?"

"Don't worry, grandpa, our country is very powerful now. It's too late for foreigners to beg us. How can they dare to bully us? Don't worry."

After hearing this, Wu Weiguo relaxed his brows and smiled, "That's right, our country is now strong, and no one dares to bully us." After saying this, he glanced at his grandma who was still steaming snacks in the kitchen, and then carefully took it out of his pocket. Two hundred dollars and a few ten dollars, he whispered to Wu Bin: "Take this, it will cost money to go abroad. I will ask your grandma to give you some later."

Wu Bin quickly stuffed the money back into his grandfather's pocket and said, "No, grandpa, we are going to win glory for the country. All the money will be reimbursed by the country. If we win, there will be a bonus. I will take it back to honor you when the time comes."

"That's right. If you want to bring glory to the country, the country will definitely have to take care of you." Wu Weiguo felt relieved after hearing this, and then said: "You can keep the bonus for yourself. I am living a comfortable life. Why do I need money?"

Grandma who happened to come out of the kitchen at this time also said: "That's right, that's right, we are not short of money." She put on a coat and said, "Well, Binbin, you and your grandpa are chatting, and I'll buy you some." Let’s cook your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs for lunch.”

When Wu Bin heard this, he quickly said: "No, grandma, I will go back to school after saying this."

"Ah..." After hearing this, grandma glanced at the calendar hanging on the wall and said, "Oh, today is not a day off, but you are here, so you can eat and go back to school soon. .”

Before Wu Bin could continue to shirk, Wu Weiguo said: "What you said, Bin Bin is going to study! Can I be late?"

After hearing this, grandma nodded and said, "That's right. Let's eat two dim sums, both steamed."

"Okay, then I'll finish the snacks before leaving." Wu Bin nodded.

"Oh, my grandson has grown up and can bring glory to the country. Okay... Okay." Wu Weiguo patted Wu Bin on the shoulder with a pleased smile on his face.

Wu Bin also smiled at him and continued to describe to him how much China's international reputation would be improved after winning this award.

Of course, this is not for him to flatter himself, but to make the elderly happy. When he was a child, his parents were busy, so he was often placed at his grandparents' house. His grandfather loved to tell him stories about anti-Japanese and patriotic stories.

Later, whenever he went to the Olympics, he would stay in front of the TV all day long, and the Chinese team's games would never fail.

He knew very well that his grandfather had patriotism engraved in his bones.

After finishing the date cake steamed by his grandma, Wu Bin picked up his bag and said goodbye to his two elders. Before leaving, his grandfather repeatedly warned him, "You must be careful when traveling abroad."

Wu Bin nodded to express his understanding before going downstairs.

After taking the No. 72 bus back to school, he put his luggage back in his dormitory and returned to the teaching building just in time for a lunch break. Wu Bin walked directly into the classroom.

The students are now used to Wu Bin disappearing for a while and then reappearing, so they all greeted him casually.

"How is HKUST?"

After Wu Bin sat down, Gu Fan turned around and asked him.

"Yeah, I'm quite curious too." Pei Jiamin, who was on the side, also came over and asked.

Wu Bin thought for a while and gave a four-word evaluation.

"Red and professional."

"Is that good or bad? How does it compare with Peking University?"

After hearing this, Wu Bin took away the physics paper Gu Fan was working on on his desk, glanced at it a few times and said, "At your current level, you won't be able to go anywhere."

"Damn it... why don't you mock me every chance you get?"

"This is called motivating you." Wu Bin helplessly spread his hands, "Can't you feel your father's deep love?"

"roll!"
