Chapter 878: Fireplace

On the second day of Christmas, it was rare for Jinling to snow.
Although there is nothing to look forward to, but because of Christmas, when thinking of Santa Claus, Lu Zhou remembered the fireplace in his former house in Princeton. Whenever snow fell in New Jersey, he would The place of work is moved from the study to the living room, sitting on the rug in front of the fireplace with his back against the sofa, letting his thoughts linger in the endless universe and the exploration of truth.
Although still far from the age of nostalgia.
But looking at the snow falling outside the window, Lu Zhou did miss it.
Sitting in the living room, using a chopsticks to hold a soup bag and dipped in a vinegar dish sprinkled with ginger, then stuffed it into his mouth, watching the silvery white hanging on the short pine tree outside the window, he suddenly said without warning.
"I plan to install a fireplace at home."
Standing in the living room, Wang Peng looked around and asked, thinking.
"Is it insufficient heating?"
Lu Zhou gave him a strange look: "You have a strange idea, why it must be cold to install a fireplace."
Slightly hesitated, Wang Peng made a helpless expression, "I just asked casually ... Is there anything I can help you with?"
Lu Zhou said aloud, "That's not necessary, unless you tell me you will build walls."
Although it was just a joke, I did not expect that Wang Peng took it seriously. After thinking about it for a while, he answered it seriously.
"There are experts in this field over there."
Lu Zhou: "... Are you Tinkerbell?"
There are so many things.
Wang Peng: "...?"
In the end, for the fireplace, Lu Zhou still had no trouble with the chief staff member, but contacted the decoration design company that originally decorated the Jinling Institute of Higher Education and asked them to complete all the work from design to installation.
After all, occupying national resources for this little thing is really not necessary.
Lu Zhou especially dislikes two things. One of them is to trouble others, and the other is to work hard for little things.
Work is work. Except for being relatively smart and handsome, he never considers himself different from others and needs such excessive special care.
If others can treat him like a normal person, he will feel more relaxed.
And maybe that's one of the reasons why he's single so far.
After receiving a call from Lu Zhou, the decoration design company can be said to have paid considerable attention.
Although compared to hundreds of millions of large projects, a small fireplace is just a small business that can't be too small, but this decoration design company still has the highest level of professionalism and attitude. On the same day, the designer and project team were sent to Lu Zhou's home, and several alternative design drawings and quotations were sent to Lu Zhou before that evening.
Among them, there are Victorian style, modern minimalist style, and the classic style made of relatively retro red brick. There are a total of 15 design schemes, all of which are designed according to the decoration layout of the living room itself, and even each set of design schemes. Also included is a set of handmade wool rugs.
Looking at those cost-effective design schemes that people don't even want to bargain, Lu Zhou even doubts that he can't make money in his single business, and he still has to lose money.
Although there was no reason to ask for a price increase from the standpoint of a consumer, looking at the quotation that was sent to the carpet for less than five thousand, Lu Zhou couldn't bear the conscience.
"Is it really okay to be so cheap?"
The sales lady who was in charge of negotiating with Lu Zhou had a smile that met the expectations of the society, and said politely and enthusiastically to Lu Zhou.
"No problem, you can rest assured that you are an important partner of our company, and we certainly will not pit you. Bringing the best service to customers with the lowest price has always been our company's operating philosophy, and the price-performance ratio of our products It is also one of the core competitiveness of our company, and I believe you will soon feel it. "
Looking at the offer and offer under the design with a little headache, Lu Zhou pinched his eyebrows and asked, "I may be overdue for math ... this 3588 decoration package is worth 20,000 yuan. What the are silk handmade wool rugs and 5888 wall decorations? "
Miss Yingying, a sales clerk, said with a smile, "This is our preferential price."
Lu Zhou: "..."
What kind of discount is this Nima!
However, others want to do business at a loss, and Lu Zhou is not easy to stop. After hesitating for a while, which design scheme is his favorite.
"... That's it."
After confirming the design plan selected by Lu Zhou, the sales lady missed the picture with a pen and then looked at Lu Zhou politely and continued.
"Okay, we will install it for you in the shortest time. When do you think it is more convenient for you?"
"I can do it. The construction time is scheduled in the afternoon ..." Said the landing boat looked at Wang Peng, who was standing beside the sofa. "Do you have time this afternoon?"
Wang Peng's answer is as reliable as ever.
"I have time 24 hours a day."
Lu Zhou nodded and continued to look at the saleswoman.
"Then from two to six every afternoon ... How long does it take to install?"
Miss salesman gave a number with a smile.
"It will be three days at the latest."
In fact, Lu Zhou didn't wait until the third day, counting from the day after signing the contract, the whole fireplace was already installed before the evening of the third day.
Euphemistically declined the proposal of the sales clerk to help him install the floor heating pipe for free. After paying 4,000 yuan for the final payment, Lu Zhou politely sent the people from the decoration company outside the hospital. After returning home, he couldn't wait to go inside. The smokeless charcoal bought from Haitao was ignited and the fire was set on fire.
Sitting on the wool rug against the sofa, listening to the sound of the crackling fire from time to time, feeling the warm fire, Lu Zhou yawned lazily, feeling like falling asleep at any time.
"Comfortable ..."
He stretched comfortably, and when he was about to take a nap, the phone's ringtone suddenly rang.
When he saw the name in the caller ID, Lu Zhou immediately pressed the connect button and put the phone to his ear.
Before he even spoke, the familiar voice came from the phone.
"Zhouer, are you busy this year?"
"It's okay, not as busy as last year," with a relaxed smile on his face, Lu Zhou's throat knot moved slightly, and he paused for half a second before continuing, "Mom, you and Dad are over there in Jiangling. Are you OK? "
Hearing this "Mom", Fang Mei on the other side of the phone, a crow's feet pattern on the corner of the eye opened a flower, and said with a hearty smile.
"Don't worry about your parents, we're fine. Your father will be retiring in a few years. Now he has nothing to do in the unit. He just drinks tea and reads newspapers every day. I don't urge him to run every day. Exercising, now I don't know what it will be like to be blessed. I called to just listen to your voice without interrupting your work? "
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "How is that? How important is work to you?"
Fang Mei concluded: "Don't say that. You are in a career upswing now. Don't focus on me and your dad. Our bodies don't need children to worry about it. But I hope you are busy, but Do n’t be too tired. Your body is always the first. No matter how important things are, your body is not as important as you are ... By the way, are you busy around New Year ’s Eve? If you are busy, I and you Dad is here to take care of you. "
"You do n’t have to, do n’t do this. I said I'm not busy anymore!" Lu Zhou, who heard that Dad and his mother planned to come over to take care of themselves, didn't want to give them trouble, "This year is also just in time for the year It ’s empty, it ’s okay, I ’ll be back for Chinese New Year.

Fang Mei sighed and said, "Your child is fine. It's very kind."
Lu Zhou cried and laughed.
"Mom, what you said ... I'm so polite to you? It's just that I haven't been back home for so many years. I feel a little homesick. Anyway, don't buy tickets, I will drive back for the holidays this year."
Although research is important, it cannot be more important than family.
What's more, the research on Riemann's conjecture cannot be completed overnight. He has just solved the problem of this century of Riemann's conjecture. He also needs a little time to relax, organize his thoughts, and change his mind.
Of course, the most important point is that the parents are also old. If there is time, of course, Lu Zhou still hopes to reunite by himself.
As for the work of the Lunar Orbital Construction Committee, everything is going according to plan, and he does not need to be specially arranged by his general counsel.
If the plan needs to be adjusted, or if something unexpected happens, he will naturally drop the things at hand and return to the front line of the scientific research front to fulfill his duties.
Make sure that Lu Zhou's voice is not embarrassed, Fang Mei then revealed a relaxed smile.
If she can, of course, she still hopes that her son can go home for Chinese New Year. Although his son has developed well in Jinling and lived in a big house in a big city, for them who have lived in Jiangling for a lifetime ~ EbookFREE.me ~ This is their root, and their relatives and friends are here Only here is real life.
It is for this reason that even though Lu Zhou has mentioned the move to Jinling many times, they have never agreed.
"Come back, mommy will make dumplings for you, and do n’t always be busy working all day ... hey, I used to let you study hard for you to have a better future. I did n’t have anything with your dad. I thought it would be like this. My dad and I could n’t help you mathematically. I just hope that you do n’t soak in the lab to order takeaway all the time. If you have time, go out and get in touch with other people. "
Lu Zhou coughed and said, "I have to make corrections. Don't believe in the documentary filming. Now whether you are studying mathematics or physics, you also want to contact people ..."
Building behind closed doors has only worked in the past.
Now even if it is a land boat, if you want to build a car behind closed doors, it is impossible to completely cut off the connection with the outside world. At least Arxiv and several commonly used literature databases must still be used.
Fang Mei: "Either way, you can live happily yourself. Your dad and I are both at this age. I have no hope but to look forward to hugging my grandson soon."
Lu Zhouhan said: "This ... let's talk about it later, there will definitely be."
It seemed to smile with no expectation, Fang Mei seemed to be comforting Lu Zhou, and said something as if she was comforting herself.
"hope so……"
Lu Zhou: "..."
Although I know that my mother didn't want to put too much pressure on her, but I don't know why, when I heard this "wish it", it made him feel a little heartache inexplicably ...
