After finishing writing, Zheng Tan hid the pencil in the tree hole where his mobile phone had been. He would use it again in the future, so he was not in a hurry to throw it away. Although Zheng Tan hadn¡¯t been to that tree hole for a long time, no other animals had entered it and it was still clean. Zheng Tan picked up a plastic bag and wrapped the pencil in it, and put it in the tree hole before going home. Zhuo Maomao said that he would send gifts at Christmas time. Zheng Tan couldn¡¯t guess what they were, but counting the time, it would be here soon. Zheng Tan also participated in Xiao Guo's double egg program for Christmas and New Year's Day. However, Xiao Guo no longer asked Zheng Tan to run and jump and exercise vigorously. It was probably because Zheng Tan fell ill not long ago that scared Xiao Guo. He hasn't recovered yet. Because of this, Zheng Tan's Christmas tasks are not heavy. He can just pose a few times and take some photos as planned. Xiao Guo didn¡¯t let Zheng Tan work overtime, and asked Charlie to send Zheng Tan back safely when the time came. If you don't work overtime, you won't get overtime pay. Fortunately, Zheng Tan's savings over the past six months are enough to give him New Year's money, so it's better to take it easy now. On the night of the 24th, the Jiao family had just finished dinner, and they did not celebrate foreign festivals like the students outside. Jiao¡¯s mother was still commenting on some of the praising foreign phenomena in the news, when there was a knock on the door of the house. ¡°Brother Hei!¡± The person outside the door shouted while knocking on the door. Mother Jiao, who just now looked dissatisfied because of some phenomena in the news, immediately burst out laughing when she heard the sound, and hurried over to open the door. The Jiao family all like Zhuo Mao Mao, he is smart and lovable. Every time Zhuo Mao Mao comes over, Mother Jiao will bring out a lot of snacks for him. This time, Xiao Zhuo came to the door with Zhuo Xiaomao and a box in his hand. "This is a gift from Mao Mao to his brother Hei, to celebrate Hei Tan's recovery. I hope Hei Tan will always be healthy." Xiao Zhuo said and handed over the box in his hand. "Hey, it's a gift from the kitten." Mother Jiao took the box and said with a smile. Zheng Tan was also curious and came over to take a look. And Zhuo Maomao couldn't wait to show off his gift. The box is opened and there are some parts inside. Although it is not spliced ??together, it can be seen from these that it should be a miniature bicycle when assembled. "Bicycle?" Mother Jiao was confused. "Yes." Zhuo Maomao smiled and took out the parts inside, and spliced ??them together with some difficulty. When he couldn't do it, Xiao Zhuo came over to help. Within two minutes, a miniature bicycle was assembled. The length is only about half a meter. The material used is strong but not heavy. The whole thing is very light. Jiao Ma roughly estimated that it weighs less than a pound. "Mao Mao said that he used to drive a four-wheeled car with Hei Tan, and he missed it very much. There are still photos from the past on the bedroom wall. Now that he is learning to ride a bicycle, he also thinks that he can ride with Hei Tan." Xiao Zhuo is here The side explained. Many students in primary schools are riding bicycles, not to go to school, but to ride in their respective courtyards for fun. The little kids sometimes compete with each other, but Zhuo Maomao no longer knows how to touch them. The four-wheeled one is exactly the kind of children's car that is suitable for children, but it is learning to ride a bicycle. So, when I was thinking about preparing a gift for Zheng Tan, I decided on this. However, Zhuo MaoMao was young after all and did not take into account Zheng Tan¡¯s specialness. In Zhuo MaoMao¡¯s heart, Zheng Tan knew everything and was omnipotent. What's the point of riding a bike? However, even if Zheng Tan could ride a bicycle, considering some influencing factors, he would not ride it in broad daylight. When driving a four-wheeled vehicle, he can control it in a hidden place and pretend to ride a bicycle. As soon as he rode out, he would definitely attract a large number of cameras. Now that the Internet is developed and electronic products are updated rapidly, Zheng Tan doesn't want to be discussed online. but. In any case, this is Zhuo Mao Mao's heart, a gift he made with his own hands. Although Xiao Zhuo's help is indispensable, the heartfelt gift is sent. Compared with the two funny greeting cards before, this one is much better. "This car is really small, can it be ridden?" Mother Jiao asked. "It can be ridden, and it is made according to Heitan's body shape. It also has two auxiliary wheels. I just don't know if Heitan can ride." Xiao Zhuo said with a smile. In Xiao Zhuo¡¯s opinion, this car was useless, but Zhuo Maomao wanted to do it, so she helped and asked a junior brother to get some strong and light materials. Mother Jiao doesn¡¯t expect to use it, but this bike is just like Zheng Tan¡¯s four-wheeled cat bike. It can be used as a decoration at home. In the end, Zheng Tan did not go riding a bicycle in front of these people. Zhuo Maomao was quite disappointed when he left. He also advised Zheng Tan to learn to ride a bicycle early and then go out for a walk together. Unfortunately, this probably won't happen. This miniature bicycle has not been disassembled yet and is placed in Jiao Yuan¡¯s room. Anyway, Jiao Yuan only spends a short time at home every week.??There was no place to put everything, so I put it all in his room. Zheng Tan didn't plan to ride the bike, but he still liked this bike very much. He had seen Zhuo Mao Mao playing with a bicycle model toy before. It was a plastic spliced ??toy model bike that Buddha and the others bought. , this bicycle is probably built based on those models. Since Zhuo Mao's current ability is not good enough, Xiao Zhuo is the main contributor. There was no one in Jiao Yuan's room. Zheng Tan squatted in front of the bicycle. When no one was paying attention to this side of the room, he reached out and lifted it. Well, it was indeed very light. It was heavy for other cats, but for Zheng Tan As far as I'm concerned, there's no problem at all. Zheng Tan plans to ride it for fun when no one is home. Just as he was thinking about it, Dad Jiao, who had just answered the phone in the master bedroom, shouted: "Heitan, come here, I have your phone number!" Usually the ones who call are Ermao or Wei Leng, but they don't know how to call. If you go to Zheng Tan directly, you would usually go to Jiao's father to talk things over. Now, if you go to Zheng Tan directly, you can't think of anyone else. Zheng Tan came to the master bedroom and jumped on the bedside table where the phone was placed. The phone was on speakerphone, and Zheng Tan could hear some joking voices over there. There were men and women, all of whom seemed to be talking in lowered voices, with smiles on their faces. Zheng Tan couldn't identify who these voices were, and they were probably strangers. people. "Okay, Hei Tan is here." Dad Jiao said standing beside him. Then, there were two pops on the other end of the phone, like the sound of flapping wings, and then, Zheng Tan heard the long-lost voice. "I haven't forgotten~ You forgot me~ You even said my name wrong~~ It proves that you are lying to me~ Let's see what you say today~" Zheng Tan: "" As soon as he heard this voice, Zheng Tan Just took a few steps back. Damn it, I won¡¯t answer this girl¡¯s call! At the beginning of November, because the temperature here in Chuhua City dropped sharply, that little bird was wilting at home all day long. But after its owner took it to warmer areas in the south, the bird began to chirp again. There was some laughter on the other side of the phone, and it could be seen that there were several people at the phone over there, probably members of the family of Professor Qin, the owner of the little bird, in the south. Without letting the general babble on the phone, Professor Tan soon took over the right to speak and started chatting with Dad Jiao. Professor Qin also had contact with Dad Jiao before. Professor Qin gave Dad Jiao the key to his home on the fourth floor. There are some plants at home that need to be watered. Although there is an automatic watering machine, you have to check it every once in a while. Therefore, Dad Jiao will go to Professor Qin's house on the fourth floor every week and send an email or something. Talk about the situation. Father Jiao started talking about Zheng Tan¡¯s illness when he was chatting with Professor Qin later. The call today was not made by Professor Qin, but by the general himself who pecked the number with his mouth, euphemistically calling it to express condolences to the patient Zheng Tan. As a result, when Zheng Tan came, he heard this bitch singing something he had just learned. It¡¯s an old song. I don¡¯t know who taught it in Professor Qin¡¯s family. The general over there probably hasn¡¯t sung enough yet. Professor Qin was on the phone complaining about the general pecking at the phone cord to vent his anger. ??Except for the general factor, Professor Qin originally planned to call Dad Jiao in the next two days. "I heard that you were selected as the Provincial Person of the Year this year? Congratulations." Professor Qin said over there. Zheng Tan was about to leave. He caught the voice coming from the receiver and stopped, intending to listen one more time. A man of the hour? It sounds so awesome. But when did Father Jiao become a provincial figure? Father Jiao held the receiver and caught a glimpse of Zheng Tan's movements from the corner of his eye. He glanced over there, looked back, and then started chatting with Professor Qin. Only then did Zheng Tan know. The so-called "Person of the Year" is actually an event held every year in the province to select some outstanding figures who have made outstanding contributions to the province, achieved impressive results, and embodied the spirit of the times. Some are in academia, some in the financial industry, and others. Including people from the sports entertainment industry and other circles. And Dad Jiao is one of the "Top Ten Outstanding Young Teachers". In the eyes of some people, it is just a false reputation, but it may not be easy to earn this false reputation. Not only does one have to be tough on one's own strength. You also need to have good relationships with some people. Listening to the chat between Dad Jiao and Professor Qin, it seems that neither of them seems to attach much importance to this title. Generally speaking, they don't care about it, or they are jealous. Sour grape psychology is at work; or it is people like Dad Jiao and Professor Qin who have received better honorary titles long ago. In fact, if it weren't for the foreshadowing of the previous honors, Father Jiao would not have been selected for the honor of this kind of face-oriented project such as the annual selection. Speaking of which, Father Jiao has really worked hard in the past two years and is so busy that he often disappears. His influence in the College of Biological Sciences is also growing. Zheng Tan once heard students from the College of Biological Sciences talking about who can take over the college in the future.Among the candidates, Dad Jiao is very popular. The leaders of the hospital also gave Father Jiao face, not to mention his strength, but the red mouse was still running around in the laboratory. The big bosses of the project teams in related research directions always had to consider Father Jiao¡¯s opinion when voting. Isn¡¯t it the courtyard¡¯s contribution? The school plans to take this opportunity to do more public relations work. This appearance is not just in the academic circle, it is open to the general public, and the award ceremony will be broadcast on the provincial station. Because it involves a wide range of aspects, including big entrepreneurs, CEOs of big companies, and relatively well-known sports or entertainment stars, the program's ratings will be relatively high. With this opportunity, how could the school miss the opportunity to increase its presence? Professor Qin has had this experience before, so he also called Dad Jiao to teach some skills this time. After all, it will not only be about attending an awards ceremony, but also having to come into contact with celebrities from all walks of life, including politicians, so there is no room for mistakes. . Don't think that an academic can ignore people from other industries, otherwise you will suffer. The good thing is that Yuan Zhiyi is also on the list of the "Top Ten Outstanding Young Entrepreneurs" in the province this time. With Yuan Zhiyi here, Dad Jiao also has a companion who can talk to him. When the time comes, he will not stand there stupidly if he is ignored. There. PS: I'm slightly ailing and in poor condition. It's a transitional chapter even though it's late. Please forgive me.
